It's like if somebody took Moonman's ancient text to speech program and used it to do movie reviews instead of racist rap songs.

Yup. Drinker's video makes it's case, provides evidence and analysis, and concludes. It doesn't overstay it's welcome.It's not really my intention to always keep going back to the Critical Drinker to compare against Bobbo, but damn if the drunken Scotsman doesn't manage to provide material that contrasts so perfectly with the diabetic from Bahstan('s suburbs).
Drinker briefly summarizes the plans for the MCU's fourth phase and offers thoughts on each movie, as well as the MCU as a whole and its uphill struggle to regain its momentum. His thoughts are effectively a giant "meh, whatever" on the whole debacle, and it sounds like he only plans to see them for channel content, not because he's really all that interested. He also not-too-subtly implied that he'd probably yohoho the films instead of going to the theater, pointing out that the increased shift to streaming makes piracy even easier. All that in about ten minutes, with no obnoxious sound editing or gushing fanboyism.
Bobby, meanwhile, can't keep his Marvel boner in his pants, shitting out video after video where he drones about the totally excellent story and characters and special effects, as well as countless fan theory videos (to the point where he's doing the legwork for MatPat's MCU vids too, and he'd probably do that for free). He clearly spends more time editing his videos than Drinker's shitposts since the latter is more or less stringing semi-related clips in the background that you don't really need to pay attention to and calling it a day, but Bob's still not good at it after doing this shit for over a decade. Audio pops, fucking up chroma keying, and more. And despite shitting out more videos on the topic, all of his videos for a month combined are blown out by a single Drinker vid.
Now, I know that there's still a place for blind fanboyism on Youtube as there are plenty of successful channels that are devoted to blathering about how much they love to consoom product, so that alone doesn't speak to Bobby's failures. However, it's clear that one of these two is delivering content that people want to see more of, and the other still thinks it's 2010 and he's still a big (fat) fish in a small pond. Algorithmic fuckery aside, Bob would do well to learn how to edit properly and quit being such a shallow consoomer, both of which would likely help his stagnating channel. He won't, however, so we'll get to continue watching him circle the drain.
Well, himself and his basement-bound self are sufficiently quarantined away from Coofoid Mayos, but he thinks the Coofid Mayos of the GQP are going to spread the coof everywhere and kill everyone (thus "Us All") by refusing to wear masks and demonstrating against lockdowns.Bob, working class white voters aren't going to kill you. Your poor dietary and lifestyle choices are going to kill you.
Whoever did that has my complete respect.There's a scene from Endgame when all the girls team up and the movie stops to make sure everybody knows. Eyes were rolling and I heard a lot of groaning. Other people confirmed their theaters did the same thing.
How I know Kamala isn't really black: She got the vaccine jabs.Bobby wants covid to become a "semi-permenant culture war" thing, the virus a badge of honor for the GQP.
But if Biden and the CDC slowed down, this would also delay the inauguration of Kween Kamala, and this is totally unacceptable.
Better let the virus fly and blame people unfortunate enough to catch it "Nazis".
You're serious?Whoever did that has my complete respect.
I remember when I went to see Endgame with some friends, and when that infamous scene happened, the theater marked out just as heavily as when the entire crew came out of nowhere. One soyboy in the seat behind me even screamed "FUCK YES, ONLY THE WOMEN NOW!"
Never underestimate the capability of companies to turn people into their bitchboys.
In the words of James Rolfe, I'm dead fucking serious.You're serious?
I'm not saying this as somebody from The Heartland. I'm in a solidly blue state. After the show, even the women were saying how corny that shit was.
Now I'm curious. When I saw The Last Jedi, a lot of people had grumpy looks on their faces after it was over. I asked a friend if the movie really stopped halfway through to lecture the audience about capitalism. I was there opening weekend and there was some noise at the beginning, but after the movie started dropping "yo mama" jokes, you could hear a pin drop.
Were they whooping it up at TLJ?
Scott/Emma happened under Morrison's watch.
Story goes that Quesada, Morrison, and Joe Casey wanted Jean to break up with Scott and start fucking Wolverine, due to Scott having PTSD from being possessed by Apocalypse. The plan got leaked and backlash was so severe that Quesada was forced to stop the plan (traces of it can be seen in early issues of the Morrison run and Casey's first issue on UXM). However, Morrison then decided to respond to fan complaints by simply having Scott be the marriage wrecker and have an affair with Emma.
Jean's death happened, mainly due to the fact that editorial was asleep at the wheel; they were too busy wining and dining Joss Whedon to take over after Morrison, that Grant killed Jean off. However, editorial by that point was filled with people who in general, resented Jean's resurrection in the first place, so when Grant (who had four issues left on his contract) was asked if they wanted him to do a time loop ending to bring Jean back (as her death issue implied some major time fuckery was going on in Jean's final moments and his last four issues being a flash forward arc), editorial told him they didn't care either way. So Morrison left Jean dead after a brief fake-out ending when she comes back in an apocalyptic future and basically eliminates the future where she comes back to life and "stays dead" so Scott can keep leading the X-Men and prevent said bad future via hooking up with Emma full time.
Afterwords, Marvel pettily kept Emma/Scott and Beast's revamped look as the only things they preserved from the Morrison run because it was some of the biggest things fans WANTED undone when Morrison left the book.
He didn't actually listen to the song, did he? It's just an explanation of the setting. And it's a pretty good opening theme. Not like Huntik good but pretty good.
I think another thing fat ass forgets is Underground was laughed at the insane amount of Christian Rock it had, the opening theme was frankly the only good about it...and that's about it. As for the rest of the show, there was a reason it has been memed among Sonic fans with its cheap animation, missing scenes, scaling issues, etc.He didn't actually listen to the song, did he? It's just an explanation of the setting. And it's a pretty good opening theme. Not like Huntik good but pretty good.
I watched a couple episodes of Sonic Underground, back in the day. My thought was that it's a good watch for anyone who really likes Jaleel White, since he's voicing all three of the protagonists: Sonic is just his Sonic voice, Manic is sort of his normal voice with a surfer dude accent, and Sonia I can only describe as "Urkel after being kicked hard in the nuts". I suspect he needed a lot of throat-soothing beverages after voicing her for any length of time.
Sadly the part I really liked about the first episode wasn't what the show was about: The queen can't win against the invading Robotnik and has nothing on her side but some ancient prophecy about a queen reuniting with her lost children and defeating a tyrant. Except she hasn't lost her children. Sooooo....
A queen turned rebel (and an able sniper, as I recall). A mother who abandons her beloved infants. A woman who tears her own life apart, reshaping it to fit a prophecy because she has no other hope left. THAT was interesting to me. Sonic in a band? Not so much. (Sonic's a rebel so he's in the underground but he's also in an obscure band so it's "Sonic Underground", geddit?)
To be fair, between the thick glaze of anti-Sonic bigotry and his wikibrain I suspect he doesn't even realize it was built around inoffensive "counterculture" music.I think another thing fat ass forgets is Underground was laughed at the insane amount of Christian Rock it had, the opening theme was frankly the only good about it...and that's about it.
While he's not entirely wrong, he's also still really dumb. In reality, platformers were and are just a genre that's fun no matter the age.As it turned out, I wasn’t the only Generation NES twenty-something using Nintendo handhelds to reconnect with the burgeoning retro scene. Publishers were seeing the numbers:
Bob again shows a bit of his psychological pinning; he gets baffled that Mario isn't this cutting edge trendsetter at all times. This is of course because Bob is desperate to pretend he's relevant and not out of touch, combined with his godbear experience at EPCOT.In 2005, Nintendo themselves got in on the act in a big way – though, surprisingly, it wasn’t Mario himself who’d lead the charge.
Bob, proving he's more retarded than a Pokemon Geewunner, accidentally lets slip that Bing Bing Wahoo for him will forever be 2d only. So his ideal waifu is 2d only.Instead, the first wholly new Mario-universe sidescroller in almost a decade (excluding the “Wario Land” sub-franchise, and even those releases had slowed to a crawl) would be 2005’s “Super Princess Peach” which, as the title implies, took the long-overdue step of having Princess Peach do the fighting herself to rescue a kidnapped Mario and Luigi. Then, one year later, the man himself returned.
Bob again strawmans the average Nintendo fan and makes up a false scenario based on him knowing dick all. The average Nintendo fan as a kid during this period probably played Sunshine or the Paper Mario games. They'd know Mario from there as well, likely also maybe having some experience with the remade games for the Advance or DS too.And while it might not have blown the minds of longtime devotees (see below), it more than succeeded at its goal of giving both original fans and newbies who’d come up on the re-releases and “Mario Party” titles something that was at once new and familiar; and the sales spoke for themselves: It was one of the biggest hits ever released for the DS.
Bob, the retard who can't understand actual plots more complicated than a McDonald's commercial, wanted the game to "move the metaplot". Rather than enjoy the Paper Mario series, which HAS a plot, he wants Mario to have this deep mythos.but I’ll admit to feeling a small tinge of “that’s it?” upon first playing through. It may have been an issue of expectations, i.e. me hoping for something that picked up where “World” and “Yoshi’s Island” left off” whereas Nintendo was looking to polish up the original diamond…
So Bob, trying to write his autobiography as an underdog story after Nintendo shot itself in the foot console wise, wants to super upsell how genius the Wii was.but if you’d told me that this amusing, glossy revival game signaled the beginning of a full-fledged rebirth for Mario and Nintendo I would’ve written it off as wishful thinking.
I would’ve been wrong.
Bob again spews his delusional warped take that he interpreted by watching how his brother and sister played games.My reborn gaming habit had been focused almost exclusively on handhelds, so I hadn’t been paying much attention outside of work to the console scene. I knew the Xbox 360 and PS3 were en route and set to muck up the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray war that was already making a mess of my job, and I knew that Nintendo had a new console codenamed “Revolution”… but by now everyone knew the score on that front: maybe a new Mario and Zelda game, but otherwise Nintendo consoles were passé.
Bob desperately tries to again tell you Nintendo is still revolutionary, and sure, gimmick controls are revolutionary, but often are a turn off until the bugs are fixed each time.The Wii came out touting unique features like consoles used to do back in the days of “Blast Processing” and turbo-buttons. Along with motion-controls, Nintendo was touting “The Miis,” mini-avatars of the player that could be inserted into games, and a “Virtual Console” for downloading older classic games – both things considered routine now but quietly revolutionary at the time.
Here's Bob trying to pretend that Nintendo isn't mainstream, likely as a relic of his desperate desire to be a Gen X'er. Also a nice example of how he strawmans people, forgetting his friends and family, and ignoring the other genres despite their own massive popularity.The mainstream of gaming culture, of course, turned up its noses. “Silly gimmicks!” Nintendo? Nintendo was weary and out-of-touch. They didn’t know how to compete in the modern gaming market, the system itself was graphically underpowered, and the motion-sensing “gimmick” was a tacked-on trifle to make it appear worth owning.
Bob again makes a strawman based on the time he got trolled online at IGN.com when he got the big mad at some children for telling him to fuck off.How could it be anything else when the Remote (resembling an Apple-esque version of an NES controller when turned on its side) was so clearly not designed for the multiplayer, online first-person shooters that had become the only game genre that mattered over the previous half-decade. This was the consensus, expressed loudly in the gamer culture and in more muted tones in the gaming press.
Bob smugs it up slightly that Nintendo discovered that grandma and grampa liked their bowling and fishing games, and that the gimmick actually was designed well for little things like that.“traditional” game culture was skeptical and resistant to the Wii, but the moment the general public got a look at Wii Sports – essentially a pack-in game designed as a tech-demo for motion controls – the system was an immediate, massive success. Stock flew from shelves, and customers lined up in droves. The sales numbers climbed so high so quickly it soon became a statistical impossibility that any other machine of that generation would end up selling better.
Bob is the big sad that he again is still called a loser despite Nintendo being successful. He likely hoped that he could be seen as normal or popular since Nintendo became popular again.The Wii was a full-blown phenomenon, captivating not just the gaming world but the rest of the popular culture to a degree that hadn’t been seen since… well, since the debut of the NES two decades earlier. As much as “hardcore gaming” would continue to deny it, all of the sudden Nintendo was back… but not necessarily the Nintendo I’d known.
Bob is sad that competent corporations seek to maximize profits. Despite allegedly reading Rand. And supporting it during this time.Early on, it felt to me as though Nintendo wasn’t just looking to bypass what was then the mainstream of the gaming market to appeal to a broader audience but also to bypass their own devout fanbase.
It's almost like Nintendo needed to expand its IP or something after losing its 3rd party crew due to their greed, controlling nature, and arrogance or something three console generations ago.The Wii was a major attempt at rebranding, and part of that process seemed to be getting away from their known stature as primarily a delivery system for Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda titles.
Bob shows how legitimately retarded he is by mentioning a big Mario title... while crying that there's no major Mario title for the Wii at launch. Again, Bing Bing Wahoo is the only true playing style.while the system did launch with some familiar faces ready to go in the form of “Super Paper Mario” and “Zelda: Twilight Princess,” the lack of a major Mario title stood out – particularly since the GameCube’s big Mario entry (“Sunshine”) had been received as an admirable but not entirely successful experiment.
Bob again shows he still probably sees Mario as his friend as a full grown man with this creepy paragraph. He also shows fear that Mario as an IP will someday be irrelevant with this, so you know now one of his biggest fears besides dying before the Matroishka Brain is done.Was that to be the end, then? Was Mario to go the way of Mickey Mouse – “star” of the company in name only? “Mascot Emeritus,” relegated to cheerleading for the new stars from the sidelines? Waving to the kids and their parents (or their grandparents, who might be old enough to recall when he was the reason people came to the park) as they dash by on their way to the hot new ride based on the hot new franchise?
Reminder that this fat stupid faggot said not even two sections ago that he pretty much gave on on gaming in general. But remember, Bob psychologically attaches his successes and failures to entities.Were the Wii and its iconic Miis detached enough not only from traditional game culture and even the Nintendo legacy itself that they’d now subsist on their own? The idea of it seemed fairly plausible to me, and filled me with a sense of impending ironic dread: Nintendo makes the big comeback I’d wanted for them… but wind up in a form that in no way resembled my memory of them? And with no Mario? It would, I imagined, fit my luck at that time.
I didn't realized that Jaleel White voiced all three main characters. That's pretty cool. I always thought it was cool that the guy had voice Sonic in 3 different cartoons.He didn't actually listen to the song, did he? It's just an explanation of the setting. And it's a pretty good opening theme. Not like Huntik good but pretty good.

(Sonic's a rebel so he's in the underground but he's also in an obscure band so it's "Sonic Underground", geddit?)
To be fair, I don't think Sonic fans even like Sonic Underground.
That implies that they pay him to shit out his half-brained retarded screeds on their behalf. At best he's a stalker who's always ready to swallow the load of Hollywood and corporations.Bob is a hooker to Hollywood and corporations
Which is funny, because at the same time, Disney is being actively hostile to the traditional family...And the real reason sex is being drained out of everything is because everything is being Disneyfied to appeal to families and as broad a demographic as possible.
That you got this far is an achievement; thank you for that sacrifice!Anyways, I don't feel like doing Bing Bing Wahoo in Space, which is the next section, so I'll end the read through here.
Well, not every show has a chance of instantly dynamiting itself by shoving a cringe-inducing amount of Christian Rock into it.To be fair, I don't think Sonic fans even like Sonic Underground.
So we're the writers fundies?Well, not every show has a chance of instantly dynamiting itself by shoving a cringe-inducing amount of Christian Rock into it.
