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

[Dr. Pasquale]

EFAP #151 is live right now. They are reacting to the No Way Home trailer. Sounds boring tbh.

I dont think theres much to be said by them that has not been said by the internet at large. "Its hype that everyone is coming back, but the plot sounds retarded", maybe add in there a "Spiderman 2 is bad" hot take and call it a day

Jay can't keep the social justice in his pants.
Smud has guested on EFAP a couple of times but his channel and his K-Mart EFAP didn't really grew, so I guess he's fallen out of favor.

This video applies to not only anyone whose actually taking the Netflix Bebop show seriously, but also to Mauler and efap when they inevitably watch Eternals. I would pay good money to see an updated version for MCU and Netflix shit.
"Is it a live action Netflix adaptation of a classic anime? Just watch the original anime. Is it a long running franchise that's lost half of it's prominent stars after more than a decade of movies and is desperately trying to establish new ones? Give it a rest. Have you hated all of the tv shows connected to that franchise that have been released? Watch something else. If it stinks just don't watch."
Edit:
"Tell them you want stories about characters, not CGI fests that have SFX being done before the script is finalized, tell them you want genuine character moments, not scenes where actors are constantly in front of a blue screen for half the movie, people the burden is on you, if it's capeshit, just don't go."

Mauler and Rags are live on the Stich and Adam Show right now, talking about Lauren Southern (she's still a thing?):

They're also shilling his plushie on stream.

Expect to see 4-5 new videos from Rags as well on his Dogbytes channel:

Not that i agree with jay but smud totally missed the point in the most retarded way possible

1. Deep's storyline went nowhere after S1 hinted at his arc being (pardon the pun) deep.
2. despite poking fun at female empowerment scenes ended up having a cringey female empowerment scene
3. Lamplighter was pointlessly wasted as a character in my opinion
4. A-Train's storyline didn't make any sense at all, from being outsmarted by Starlight and to his heart problem that just appears on and off whenever plot needs it

there were other things I had problems with that I'm forgetting now because it's been a year since I watched S2. S1 was great tho

Going to debate you here. Lamplighter is barely in original comics. He is a zombie at the start and only kills the family due to being an asshole in comics.

Deep's storyline is a play on how celebrities repair their image after scandals. Plus he is now in line to be the head of the Church.

Female beatdown scene in the end works because they all have superpowers and they don't make a big deal of it like the cringey scene. Frenchie passes comment cause its funny. Plus it is in the comics that beatdown scene.

A-Train recovers from heart attacks because he is not using the V no more. He is already full of V. When he used he was overdosing on it. Once he stopped his body healed.

A-Train is way more likeable in the show than comics.

still, his character could've been used in more interesting ways

Deep's storyline is a play on how celebrities repair their image after scandals. Plus he is now in line to be the head of the Church.

I guess we'll have to see whether you're right about the last part. I'm willing to bet Deep will have a completely different storyline with the Church being shoved into the background or something.

Female beatdown scene in the end works because they all have superpowers and they don't make a big deal of it like the cringey scene. Frenchie passes comment cause its funny. Plus it is in the comics that beatdown scene.

they may have not made a big deal out of it, but I think this scene falls flat on it's face because they're literally kicking Stormfront while she's down, which results in her escaping.

they should've either restrained her or just killed her, not comedically kick her.

the writers clearly wanted to both have the cake (girl power scene) and eat it (Stormfront escaping the fight).

A-Train recovers from heart attacks because he is not using the V no more. He is already full of V. When he used he was overdosing on it. Once he stopped his body healed.

A-Train is way more likeable in the show than comics.

except iirc the heart bounces back and forth:

1. he's fine (when he's investigating starlight)
2. then he isn't (later on, forget which scene)
3. then he's fine again

there might 've been another "he's not fine-nvm he's fine" loop, but like I said, it's been a year since I watched the show

 

[Jazz never died!]

Joker is it's own thing

I disagree, I find it hard to believe that characters like Superman and Weasel are from the same universe

if Gunn directed MoS, he'd be like idk... Silver Age Supes or some shit, something out of Superfriends and if Weasel was a character from Snyder movies, he'd be like some grimy creepy monster thing, all edgy and shit.

My point is that MoS, BvS, WW, Suicide Squad 2k16 and the Snyder Cut all feel like the same universe, same visual style, same level of grimyness/edgyness and (more or less subjective) realism

With movies like Suicide Squad 2k21, Aquaman and Wonder Woman 1984 my suspension of disbelief gets annihilated with both of them, either via comic booky goofiness (TSS, Aquaman) that wasn't present in any of the previous movies, or via explicit character assassinations and huge retcons/continuity errors (WW84). With all of them you can see that the director was given cart blanche and so they didn't give a fuck about trying to align with the previously established tone and just did their own thing. The result is that SS 2k21, Aquaman and WW84 stick out like sore thumbs from the other movies.

Somehow I don't have this problem with Shazam despite the lighter tone, I can absolutely see it as part of the Snyderverse/DCEU despite the highjinx.

And I don't want to talk about Birds of Prey.

Besides the Joker which if it wasn't related to Batman you wouldn't know the movie got draged down by the Batman refences, other than that it was a great film that made me happy yo have seen it in the theater. The rest were mediocre at best and shit at worst. Marvel for the most part was good. Iron Man 1 and Avengers are masterpieces for the action genre. Marvels biggest problem was tonal clashes it didn't know if it wanted to be campy or serious. They never found a comforable middle ground like with Yakuza or Metal Gear where the main character is serious most of the time.

Lauren came back as "centrist" she's basically a female destiny now

That being said who has the cringier avatar ?
The furry rags or the edgelord mauler ?

Also being overly political will only hurt Mauler's career lol

 

[Lensherr]

He's going through his own personal G.R.R Martin arc.

With all the projects he’s taken on but hasn’t gotten around to completing, he’s also giving off Guillermo deal Toro vibes.

The Suicide Squad is not only tainted by being part of the DCEU but by being called 'The Suicide Squad'. The original film was impressively not good, so seeing it rebooted several years later might not excite most. It also released during a pandemic year, in fact, it releases just as the virus is having a resurgence. It's also releasing simultaneously in Theaters and on HBO MAX, where unlike Disney+ it can be watched for FREE if you have an account.

As far as 'attracting' fans, I don't think TSS had a problem with that. This is a very flawed and imperfect metric but if you look at both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, then you will see it did better with BOTH critics and fans than the original. The Slashline (Critic/Users) on Metacritic and RT for Ayers Suicide Squad is '40/60' and '26/59', versus Gunn's The Suicide Squad which is '72/72' and '91/82'.

Everybody I know who was excited about the original Suicide Squad, only to watch it and be massively disappointed, have all posted their praise after seeing the new one.

If there's anybody who liked Suicide Squad more than The Suicide Squad they need to be sterilized.

When my friend and I watch Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad back to back, the former angered my friend so much that it made him difficult to enjoy the latter. He did eventually come around to it, and we both agreed that it was a good movie and palate-cleanser after the dumpster fire we just watched previously.

While I agree that the latter is definitely a problem, I’ve never had an issue with the former. That’s probably because I grew up reading Marvel and DC comics where, to use the latter as an example, I enjoyed both gritty, street-level characters like Daredevil, extravagant high-fantasy titles like Thor, and sci-fi space opera like the X-Men, and this never had a problem accepting that they all existed in the same universe. But YMMV.

Mauler has been made a permanent host of AZ&Gary tuesday show (this is like his 4th or 5th appearance in a row).

Also it seems that the Smud thing grew bigger than I thought, with CJ (another EFAP regular with a big audience and a big lefty slant) also getting involved
https://twitter.com/smudboy/status/1432699206184153091

Somehow things devolved enough that Smud mentioned race and IQ in the same breath and that's haram.

People can stand his videos because they tell them what and how to think. In a way they already agree with, Makes it comfy.
You can like them and think they're good but still agree with this btw. If you saw a defense of Rey Skywalker that was as long as a Mauler video you'd think it was a tortured argument before watching it. Not defending Rey, just saying that's how it goes.

Considering Jodie's incarnation of the Doctor is agreed by him to not look or feel like the doctor. His post just comes off as massively hypocritical.

I'm guessing that unlike Doctor Who he does now like Cowboy Bebop.

What's the smud thing?

Also, that fucking sidecut faggot dares to have the BTAS symbol after trashing the show? What a little shit.

 

[Shieldman]

What's the smud thing?

TL;DR Smudboy got in a fight with Jay over the Cowboy Bebop adaptation and somehow spiraled into a racial thing (?) several efap orbiters got involved.

Sorry about the double post but... is Jay finally going full bore against the mean anti-sjws?

 

[TheClorax]

I disagree, I find it hard to believe that characters like Superman and Weasel are from the same universe

Honestly not much different than when people considered Netflix Marvel canon to the MCU and enjoyed how a talking raccoon and tree were in the same universe as shows like Daredevil or Punisher.
Sure, the barrier between Netflix made it easier to dissociate the two, but for a time, the Netflix shows were considered MCU Canon (and some people still debate it, but that’s only going to be determined if Daredevil ever shows up in an MCU show/film).
And given DC’s always had a pretty shoddy continuity that excels more at self-contained stories compared to Marvel’s, it makes sense to me for DC to go the route they’re going.

I’m going to take a wild guess and say it was about Faye’s design?

Eh, fuck shared universes. I'll take a good movie any day.

I more object to Marvel creep, where everything has to be the same and fit together.

Hell, half those millennial faggots on EFAPs whining and cringing about Loki etc is how it fits in the larger MCU.

Who. The Fuck. Cares?

If it's good it's good, if it's bad it's bad.

SP having a BTAS avatar only reinforces the idea that this contrarianism is put on. It's cheap heel heat for reviewers on the internet, "heh I made fun of this thing you like, and now I'm going to have an avatar of myself as the main character of that thing just to troll you" it feels forced and he's obviously doing it to tick off BTAS fans, hey SP it's not 2009 anymore, that shit is beyond lame now.
Edit:
Also since Mauler is now doing another ten hour live stream a week, I assume all of the editing will be done by Fringy, MR and Das now. TFA part 4 may see the light of day before 2023 yet.

Yeah, I think he misjudged his audience. These brain dead lemmings want you to tell them why their special.

I sat thru all I could. Someone brought up Vegas? Do they mean the Jessi incident. It was covered over in the CG thread, but highlights

Gary Nerdrotic and his treehouse of posers hates Jessi Milestone for trying to Metoo their talking testicle human friend Tom Conners. Gary held a Fandom Menace party more or less open to everyone, except he reserved the right to kick people out. Jessi was there with her boyfriend and had been there the previous day. Gary proceeded to ask her to leave. I say he asked Jessi to leave, he tried to have his wife do it and when Jessi made a scene, Gary had to actually man up and do it himself.

Apparently after not talking about it now their saying its all make believe? Az says she made up a story?

Which is odd because Gary had previously ranted on a private live stream for ten minutes about it. Someone else will need to confirm as I couldn't understand these idiots.

I snatched a recording of Gary explaining what happened and posted it on the Comicsgate thread, dunno if it's still up (the video is behind a paywall now).

Supposedly, Jessy and Jeff busted into a private reserved room and Gary's wife told them to get out (of the private room, not the bar) Jessy stood up to her and Gary went nuts
