Callum Nathan Thomas Edmunds / MauLer93 / MauLer and the EFAPshere - Objective discussion about not-Channel Awesome featuring Rags, Southpaw and more!

I wouldn't even call Mauler a critic or reviewer at this point. He barely does reviews anymore outside of his Batwoman videos, and they are more akin to riffing with his friends for fun than reviews. The last review he made was his unbridled rage on TRoS three months ago, and that was after ever other reviewer had made a review on it and he was expected to make one on it by his fans. And on top of that, Unbridled Rages are considered by Mauler to be 'poorly written rants' and are not up to par with his 'Normal' reviews which consist of some of his pre-fame videos, his TLJ review and yet to be completed TFA review. All he does now is attack other people's content and tout his ideology of objectivity. I can't see him and his group of friends on EFAP as anything more than a net hurt on the Youtube reviewing community as a whole, because all they can do is tear easy targets down to make themselves seem better and make Mauler be seen as an 'elite' among content creators.
I think the reason why his method of reviewing does not work is because he is a perfectionist and it takes perhaps months to make his reviews, so the content he is reviewing loses relevance and he loses motivation over time, as well as being distracted by EFAPs (that must mess with his sleep schedule) and new big blockbusters or enemies to target. With the TFA review in particular I think he set the bar way too high for himself, trying to make a review on a semi-decent movie in 10-12 parts, and he knows his viewerbase is expecting a monster of a review as he promised.
Part of me also thinks he is partially aware of his limitations as a reviewer but finds himself incapable of retiring or stepping back to something he is more comfortable with, since it would cost him his internet friends, drama, worshipers, and internet clout.

That leaves them with everything not relagted to minis which consists with an ever shrinking list of cherry picked videos which I am positive they pick based on the titles and nothing else.

This is correct, Mauler has outright admitted to not watching the videos first or will only watch a few minutes before doing an EFAP on it.

 

[Cemila Mandes]

he's never done that, he is not even active in his discord server that much as he usually hangs out with his friends

Just because he hasn't done it on his Discord doesn't mean he hasn't done it somewhere else. Telling his fanbase not to come here would be a good idea.

Rags and Wolf were doing that before they met Mauler, they just adopted the format to form efap

MauLer was doing it before he met them too. They use the format to make it look like they refuted the subject without actually putting in the necessary work to refute the subject. Simple minds think alike.

I barely remember some time last year they did an efap where they targeted a very small reviewing channel that was criticizing the idea of objectivity or something similar, iirc, and the guys on efap thought he was talking about them and were trash talking him for it. Turn out, they guy found their stream and ended up coming on it to talk with them about it. Turns out, he was talking about some other trend of reviewers and had no idea what Mauler and Efap was (he seemed rather innocent of the Youtuber drama and reviewer trends) and they tried to convince him to understand what objectivity was but failed to convince him since he didn't really understand what they were getting at. It was clear he hadn't seen the earlier parts of the stream and the efap crew was being rather nice to him in contrast to their earlier behavior (minus Rags who was still mean) and when he left they were speaking rather nicely of him. Not particularly relevant but it left a bit of an impression on me. I'll look for the specific efap. Edit: Found it

God, they really had to get into the semantics of things to try and nitpick the guy's definition of objectivity, didn't they? Here MauLer clearly demonstrates his pedantic nature completely and his need to be the one who is right, and not fight for what is right.

EDIT: Rags is a fucking retard for pulling a Holocaust example and comparing it against enjoying a piece of media. He was being disingenuous and an asshole.

I noticed that some of Mauler's second-stringers use the exact same format but even they manage to keep it in the 2-3 hours range instead of the usual 11.

Don't know if this is really Bob, but we all know MauLer would lose sleep over this.

Mauler and MovieBob should have a pie eating contest.

He said that he used to do that with his friends way before that and efap was always hanging out + covering topics.

smaller audience leading to superchats being answered in a quick fashion, Smudboi has full control over the stream unlike Mauler who allows Rags to be free and sidetrack everything. Now that I think about it it's like efap pre-efap #54 (the Aydin one)

BUT

the worst efap-like stream is this dude https://www.youtube.com/user/SouthpawLP/videos (aside from his quartering and g+g coverage)
there was literally like a 20 minute long segment in which some sad fuck was talking about his failed date

MauLer and his fanbase treat EFAP as legitimate refutations of videos that bother them. Videos that actually had hard work and effort put into them - which MauLer claims to support.

That is Bobby XXXXXXL's "personal" twitter account (I have no clue why he has two accounts, and he's very active on both), so yeah.

Southpaw is to me one of the more autistic fucks in Mauler's little circle. I remember him rushing in to argue for Rags on Discord when he was getting called out for his shit awhile back, and ended up sounding even dumber than Rags regarding critique and such. (also funny how he still has "Blessed" in his name on Youtube and Twitter, when that's a Jared reference, something they're not supposed to be doing)

 

[Cemila Mandes]

If the account really is Bob, he probably created it to avoid Twitter jail. Bob's confirmed account is already used for "personal non-business" activity, so all he would get out of a second account is a way around Twitter's activity limits.

The new account was created this month and I don't see anything that confirms or refutes its legitimacy. If the account is real, then conflict between MauLer and Bob is heating up. If not, MauLer fell for a fake account.

So Bob is pulling a Smug/Pedantic Romantic?

He's preparing for his tweetstorm when Trump is re-elected.

What's been happening between MovieBob and Mauler? I thought they were always on bad-terms.

It was mostly one-sided because Bob ignored MauLer. Now it looks like Bob is engaging back, which is really going to set MauLer off.

 

[Elescondido]

If hbomberguy decides to make his "prequels are actually good " video will mauler:
-Mock hbomberguy for liking shitty moviez
-Agree with hbomberguy only to use his videos to mock the starwars sequels even more.
I wonder what's more profitable anti-sjw hate or anti-new star wars hate ?

Considering MovieBob's shit at banter, I would expect anyone not exceptional themselves to roll over him. But Mauler's just as shit at banter, it's like seeing two autistic kids try to one-up each other. But is this really what Mauler does nowadays? Shit talking everyone and anyone for any joke or minor passive aggression at his expense? Covering people on 4-10 hour live streams because of their opinions?
It's insane that it's been one whole year since he released a full critique video, did he not write all of this in advance? Is getting into gay Twitter drama and doing EFAP really taking that much time off of editing for it?

Gotta show you're a better fat manchild with furfags in a pod cast that goes far too long for those sweet sweet NEET bucks. It's easier to go into Twitter slap fights than editing/writing for hours on reviews that don't rake in the cash like EFAP, although this potential cow crossover with Blob may lead to some good laughs. All I have to say it's kinda funny to lay back and watch the tard fights from afar and wait for the inevitable fuck up (if the Avatar and Jenny situations are anything to go by).
