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

Nerrel just made a video on The Rise of Skywalker, pretty entertaining even if you don't agree with his opinions.

Knowing EFAP's track record, they'll probably cover this video at some point. A bunch of stuff Nerrel said in it actually aligns with Mauler and his friends' opinions, especially in regards to The Mandalorian but I don't think that will stop them from shitting on him since they tend to hold grudges.

I honestly think MauLer Jr. started really getting aggressive about SM2 not just because of the pushback and some personal drama, but because of his daddy giving him approval and even saying it changed his mind. That's a dream come true to an orbiter. He made an objective statement the God of Objectivity gave his glowing stamp of approval to. He probably thinks he can't do any wrong right now. The only way to shut him up about this at this point is if his dad scolds him for his behavior, which I think is unlikely considering MauLer is enjoying the drama as well.

Good point, that's probably why he's gotten so cocky after that video. If I had to do a random guess, I feel this is gonna end one of two ways: One way being SP gets scolded by Mauler as you said and chills out, but continues to be an annoying mook as usual. Other way is Mauler lets him do as he pleases and that can either lead to SP getting into beef with other people on EFAP (maybe even Daddy Mauler himself if SP goes after one of his sacred cows), which could form some cracks in the group and lead to other shit, or SP goes out and picks a fight with a big name content creator and brings a lot of heat to EFAP. Either way, it'll be fun to watch, as Mauler is basically letting EFAP turn into a ticking timebomb. This time last year it seemed like Rags was the only problem, but now we got Jay the Troon and SP and his ego added to the mix.

I think he felt pressured by his audience into it. They expected him to be the same as when he is on video and have a good rapport with the others. MauLer probably stopped asking him to come on when he realized he was a bad guest.

They think he's on their side because he made anti-Disney Star Wars videos before hating Disney Star Wars was cool. As this Twitter thread shows, E;R has generated an audience incapable of recognizing when he's joking.

They're probably still pissed at Nerrel for making a jab at them in his comment section.

Right after appearing on EFAP for the first time, he has only put out a total of seven videos over the course of over two years, which is odd to me considering before his slowdown he was making quite a lot of videos, his oldest ones being seven years ago themselves. He definitely seemed like someone who wanted to get some traction on YouTube and get a lot of subs, but he kind of let it died. I would say it's because of some kind of burnout, but considering he would be able to appear for 78 episodes, literally the second most frequent guest, I imagine he simply went the way of Rags and Mauler and let EFAP be his main thing as you said. (Rags himself was similarly uploading many videos and even garnered a fanbase before EFAP seemed to kill it)

It's easier to sit on stream and do nothing than to work making a video. I think it's an eye opener to realize you don't need to make a good video with real original content when people will throw money at you for sitting on a chat and speaking (poorly) on a given subject.

We're not even sure how or even if the money from superchats are distributed. We had a discussion about it last year, and as far as we know, MauLer gets all of it. I have no idea where Fringy is getting his money right now. He's on almost all of the EFAPs now, so I doubt he has an actual job. He's actually not getting any money from Patreon. In fact, he is giving it to others currently.

Edit: He's his website, of you want to see the miniscule amount of writing he has made.

Here's his failed podcast channel

Judging by his twitch he spends a lot of time playing video games, but I doubt he gets much out of it judging by his views.

There's a truly scary image. These guys day jobs.

He just put out his first video in a couple of months.

He also guests on other channels. Metal does Liveplays with him on twitch.

It's definitely an open question. How does Mauler run his crew?

If he bums around and gets a split of those channels you may be having multiple livestreams.

Here's the first of Fringy's failed podcasts, with MauLer present to promote it.

For the pilot episode of Cosmoronic, Fringy is joined by MauLer to discuss Avengers: Endgame and the MCU, Game of Thrones, objectivity in media analysis and the role of politics and social commentary in media.

Might be worth a watch for the curious.

The drive from Polaris to Earth is a long one, and the vacuum of space does little to ease the boredom accompanied with such trips.

Fortunately, there exists a lounge at the crossroads of the Milky Way Galaxy known as Cosmoronic, where passers-by can stretch their legs after a lengthy journey through time and space to unwind and chat about the news of the day.

The Cosmoronic Podcast is a fortnightly show hosted by your’s truly, featuring an assortment of interesting guests and topics.

fortnightly show

I haven't found a single mention of it after him announcing the 6th episode on Twitter. He obviously just gave up completely.
It should be noted that he started this podcast after be became a part of EFAP. He tried to become his own thing and all it did was cause him to crawl back to his new master.

Kinda funny that MCU Spiderman only exists due to Batman vs Superman. It was shaping up to be the film of the summer and Civil War would be forgotten so they haggled with Sony for Spiderman.

Thankfully Zack Snyder et al were so busy with their universe/franchise, they forgot to make a good movie.

He also draws, and it's pretty bad at it. I wish I could make money by forcing a laugh during a tv episode.

And I don't know if I posted this before, but here https://youtu.be/rNyALB_eOiI?t=19062 (05:17:42) Fringy and Rags have a discussion on THE DEFINITION OF TRUTH AND REALITY, and it's as autistic as you think it is, they weren't even high.

 

[PenguinSuitAlice]

MauLer makes fun of a relatively common misspelling to deflect criticism.

I hold this sentiment as well. He uses them as an example way too often when discussing strong female characters.

Fringy being a mediocre artist has to pain him when he tweets things like this.
Here's your art.

Here's your fans' art.

They are in fairness both very good examples and would probably be my first two examples as well. Now if he can't name anything beyond those first two it becomes somewhat trite and simply lazy. Off the top of my head I can think of Leia, Furiosa, Rita from Edge of tomorrow, Clarise from Silence of the Lambs and MauLers personal favourite, Buffy.

Anyway, I haven't seen the Batwoman efap yet, but I suspect it will be among his better stuff. It's low hanging fruit, but it works for him.
Seems like a large crowd for this first one, including J Longbone. Is this the first time she is on since her little fight with Jay?

He actually continued his statement. Maybe I was being unfair.

We are literally in a golden age of prestige tv, and tons of great films come out every year - last year was a bit slow, but the point stands.

He would know that if he watched more than capeshit and bland studio crap like Underwater.

More and more he's succumbing to the idea that acting like a contrarian and saying everything is shit makes you a giga-brained smart guy.

Humans aren't robots and don't always act logically. I've never agreed with this line of thinking, it's so reductive and makes media so boring to watch sometimes. So long as the thing in question is following its own internal logic I don't give a shit.

He definitely treats logic as characters making systematic choices like a robot. Humans are a walking contradiction, we make logical decisions while also having the same capability of being emotionally irrational. Part of the problem with this line of thinking is that it assumes characters need to be perfectly balanced individuals when characters in films need to start off as being in a bad place in life. That is how character change works, this is why people need to start looking at films and characters being "organic", because an organism can function in a predictable pattern while also being able to adapt and change.

He claims to want characters to follow internal logic of the story. That's usually how he responds to this criticism. But I'm sure his ideal depiction of this would be characters or the story explaining their every action. He might respond to that and say that it is not true (probably calling you dishonest) and that he loves it when a story is able to tell you things without explicitly telling you. However on the other hand, if a movie/tv show did massive infodumps that destroy the pacing, he would be totally fine with it and attack anyone who criticized this way of exposition if it was something he liked.
