Bob Chipman / Robert Lewis Chipman / MovieBob / Game OverThinker - "Coastal Elite Thinker" who wants conservatives, Christians and manual workers eradicated. Universally ignorant; cannot tell reality from sci-fi. Sore loser with short fuse. Odious Disney shill. Tranny chaser and general creep. Fat and diabetic.

[mandatorylurk]

9 days and all Blob could pull for a consoomer oriented Spider-Man review is 24,000 views? I was going to say Chris needs to intervention him but sadly I believe Blob is the patriarch of the Chipman family now, and that's even more depressing than usual Blob.

Don't like pence but The Confederates were americans. Let them have their honors. Let the old men rest, let the wounds heal.

Reminder that the Germans had just fought the French at this time. That's NAZIS up there, standing around and showing respect to a memorial of their enemies.

Bob and his kind have officially demonstrated less honor and dignity than fucking Nazis!

At least Nazi Germany gave us precedence for good animal abuse laws, Fanta, the jerry can, and NASA. Can't think of anything of intentional worth that Bob and his prattling ilk have bestowed upon us.

The Unabomber died at the age of 81, and this makes Bobby very introspective.

I cannot speak for Professor Kaczynski's religious beliefs, but I've read his seminal work. Yes, Robert, I actually read more than 240 characters in one sitting. He was definitely a critic of 90s leftism, and he could see quite clearly where it was heading. However, he was also a critic of Western civilization- the industrial revolution in particular, believing it would lead to a sort of behavioral sink where leftism would thrive. His call to dismantle the "industrial society," as he called it, got him branded as an environmentalist whackjob by right-wing groups.

In short, Professor Kaczynski was a controversial figure whose manifesto demanded serious thought from the reader. Even if you disagreed with much of what he wrote, or even his central premise, you'd likely find something in his manifesto you agreed with. His work demands considerable thought from the reader- far more brainpower than Cinema Robert could ever produce, even on his best day.

I really don't get why Bob is reuploading his old videos to his channel, especially given how YouTube's algorithm generally punishes that sort of behavior. He's apparently adding "updated" commentary at the end, but the majority of the video is still just the old video as is. It would be one thing if the original videos were gone and he was uploading them for posterity, but from a cursory search, they're all still on the Escapist's channel.

I could potentially see this as a "get all my stuff back under my channel" thing, but what's the point? It's not like these are high effort videos that need to be preserved, they're five minute movie reviews that he shat out quickly a decade ago. And again, this is probably hurting his engagement metrics because YouTube frowns upon uploading the same videos repeatedly. If he were smarter, he'd put these on a separate channel; from my understanding, that's what most people who understand the site do because the algorithm likes channels to have a single focus. His main channel could be for new content, and his side channel could be for reheated garbage, and neither would negatively impact the other.

Then again, maybe he's desperate for any kind of ad revenue and he can't be bothered to do anything new, so he's just recycling old content and calling it a day. The financial situation in Casa de Chipman might not be so hot if he's trying to cheat the system to get a few more adbux. It's ridiculous he's still getting $2500 a month on Patreon for this shit, but that's still a lot less than a year ago.

The fact that even his capeshit reviews aren't even cracking 30k views, let alone 50k, should be a wakeup call for Bobbo. But putting effort into his "work" would take time away from his all important task of yelling at people on Twitter, so he'll just keep sliding into obscurity while blaming his problems on everyone but himself.

I would bet real money on him not knowing or realizing this.

For all his talk about "working hard" and "being a person that matters in the future" we all know how dense and stupid he is.

 

[Koby_Fish]

I don't. I get from the replies that it is GI Joe, but I still don't know what this is about.

The screenshot, oddly enough, is from an episode of The Transformers. It's Cobra Commander himself, in the Season 3 episode "Only Human". Zartan's synthoid tech is brought back (originally showcased in the GI Joe: A Real American Hero 2-parter The Synthoid Conspiracy) but tweaked slightly so that gangster Victor Drath can get revenge on the Autobots by stealing their bodies. That scene in particular, Cobra "Old Snake" Commander says, "They don't make terrorists like they used to. COOOOBRAAAAAA*coughcoughcough*!"

I'm not sure why Bob's making this reference, other than some sort of Cobra/GI Joe reference in the Rise of the Beasts?

The Book of rage quote is from Johnny Quest, though (a Hanna-Barbera cartoon). So no, the idiot Blob Knob Slobberer did NOT get it.


Idk bob, is there something you're not telling us about your Lesser Brother?

He just said to leave kids alone. Your reaction is to cancel the man instead of going "yeah, sex shit is for adults, duh, no problem". And you wonder why you are called groomers.

It's a function of the belief among the Left that if you DON'T "groom" (give gender-affirming care) to two-year-olds, that it is 41% virtually guaranteed that the two-year-olds in question will commit seppuku. Like, the line these guys use is literally, "Would you rather have a dead son or a living daughter?" Problem is they'd probably wind up with BOTH a dead son and a dead daughter if they do.

Is he calling Ted a Christian or is he saying that anyone that murders people is a believer?

I think he's calling Ted a "Believer" because apparently only Believers critique the left in the manner that Ted did. Thing is, Ted's parents became atheists (from Roman Catholic) long before little Teddy was born, so there's that.

 

[A Very Big Fish]

Moviebob is also an apostate Catholic. Ipso Facto, if Bob ever has kids, he's likely to raise another unabomber. Thanks to all the women in Bob's life for keeping their legs closed o7.

Not that I imagine that that's a particularly tough choice.

But putting effort into his "work" would take time away from his all important task of yelling at people on Twitter, so he'll just keep sliding into obscurity while blaming his problems on everyone but himself.

The problem with Bob's channel is that he didn't value it when he was being a paid critic, especially during his second run at Escapist, so he lost a ton of momentum he'd built up over the years because of his frequent channel hopping. The guy used to easily get over 100k views on YT but these days struggles to reach 30k and a part of that is his lack of uploads for almost three years.

I guess his assumption is that in order to counter this, he needs to do the opposite and upload more. And what's this? Escapist are letting him have all his old shit back? That's perfect. Now the algorithm, which is made up by the mayoghouls, all of YT's pushing is obviously done by intelligent people who work for Google, will favor him again.

But also, as you said, money could be tight, and something is better than nothing. Getting an extra $10 for a 5k video you already made fifteen years ago is better than just letting that shit sit around on a hard drive.

 

[AirdropShitposts]

Because I thought about this you all must suffer more, The Authority wasn't "grimdark antiheroism Snyder" either. (Nor was Snyder anything but a critic of antiheroism for that matter, not that Bob noticed no matter how many times the trilogy hit him over the head with it.) Not only this, but every Justice League since in the comics has been more like The Authority than before and Morrison's JLA was already amazingly close to The Authority. Bob has absolutely no clue what The Authority even was, I guarantee he's never read the comics. Grimdark, antiheroism, etc. was not part of any of it anymore than Wildstorm in general did that stuff. The Authority, like much of Wildstorm's run, was about hard choices in superheroing. The "realism" was not anything Snyderian, it was the idea that life has trade offs and there's not always a perfect solution. (Snyder pretty much rejected this idea but first he wanted to face the heroes with it, that's why it's Superman who has to kill Zod and then sacrifice himself. By Justice League, Batman and Wonder Woman have moved towards readopting heroism, Aquaman is reinspired to it and Cyborg and Flash learn it. When Superman comes back he fully steps up to what he hadn't yet in BvS.) Superman's defeat of the Elite isn't a rejection of their argument, it's Superman telling them they weren't truly considering all the options. He illustrates this by actually not killing them as he defeats them. Bob is a simpleton so he thinks Superman defeated them just by beating them up, he didn't, he attacked their methods they were claiming were superior. Superman was arguing: bad tactics, not bad targets. Every "great" Justice League story people can name since has been dealing with these kinds of things, maybe the most famous is when Batman's plans to take down the Justice League falls into enemy hands. Nobody legitimately argues that Batman was wrong to create these, merely that he was wrong to hide them from everyone. Ever since in the comics, the Justice League (and others) openly have anti-JL member plans. This idea is very Wildstorm as The Authority, Stormwatch, etc. all had much of their focus on containing the superhero/villain arms race. It's not something anyone would have even considered before because "heroes don't do that" even though it's obvious and they fight each other all the time.

If there's a Snyderian aspect to The Authority, it's not them specifically, it's how all of Wildstorm's universe rejected the typical idea that everyone else's lives will go on as it does in our real world when superheroes and all this technology is around. Gunn's not going to reject this because DC hasn't rejected it, the New 52 contained a deliberate recognition of this after DC spent a lot of time trying to ignore it previously despite it being one of the reasons they did the original Crisis.

TLDR: My point is Gunn won't use it as a "mission statement" like Bob thinks because while Superman may have won the fight with The Elite (aka Authority), the Elite won the war and much of the DC Universe now assumes the Justice League and others (especially Batman and J'onn) will operate like The Authority often did but just be nicer about it.

Also, on a further note regarding the comics since it's one of those trivia things Bob would have hopped on had he known anything about the comics: The Authority was reformed last year in the DC Universe and Manchester Black, former head of the Elite, was made the head of the new one. (Superman is the one who formed the new Authority because he needed a job done that only a group operating like they can could do.) I can't see anyway Manchester Black isn't in Gunn's version, and I would have said that even before it happened in the comics considering him and Midnighter are about the only characters from these teams anyone knows exists.

 

[Koby_Fish]

I haven't read comics in ages, so anything I know about the characters like the Elite I know from DCAU such as the animated movie "Superman vs the Elite" and this is enough to be able to tell that Bob's brain is smoother than Mr. Clean's bald head and he likely knows jack and shit of what he's talking about without scraping Wikipedia like Chat GPT.
It figures Bob the Blue Curtain Builder completely misunderstands what Snyder was trying to do in the DC movies he made. For he is the Kwisatz Tarderach, Lard of Lynn, Pol Potbelly, Last of his Line, Masshole Mussolini, Spurned by the Hotdog Abortion, the exceptional galaxy-brained paste-consooming, crayon-eating, Blue Curtain Analysis Expert.

Now the algorithm, which is made up by the mayoghouls, all of YT's pushing is obviously done by intelligent people who work for Google, will favor him again.

I firmly believe that he's doing all of this to increase his watch time without actually doing anything and ensure that he doesn't get down ranked in the suggestions by youtube due to lack of activity. That's what made his "I got a lot going on" line in his Transformers review laughable. When he was actually employed/contracted he put out at least two new videos a week, a commentary video and a review video. Now it's just a deluge of his old shit. Who the hell actually cares about the sequel to the Boondock Saints today? Or Surrogates? Not whole lot of people, based on the numbers, and I would love to know what their watch time is, what Bob actually cares about. He's just soooooooooo busy doing life that he doesn't have time to do his own job of making videos people might actually want to see or are actually relevant. Or in the case of the Mario movie he just needed to exercise "self care" and not do any theory videos at all and not that he was scared about hyping up the movie only for it to suck ass like what he thought when it was first announced.

It's their harm reduction ideology taken to the extreme, indulge your kid's every whim ore else he'll jump off a roof. No thought as to talking to the child or anything, immediately got to give away their parental responsibility to the state.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

There's more channels that are worth watching now and the YouTube meta constantly changes. Bob has been made obsolete by his own choices.

Still waiting for the day Bob fucks a kid or a troon and it gets public. But, that also will require Bob having sex, so it may never happen.

Morrison's JLA was already amazingly close to The Authority.

I would fight with you on that but you could be referring to a different Morrison JLA run than I'm thinking about (though I only know of the 90s/00s one) and I don't want to divert the thread into extreme 'tism.

Let's just say I agree with ADSP here save for this line.

It's funny because the comic LITERALLY spells out its thesis.

I think the best summation was from Morrison's JLA Classified. Comics are weird and at some point you just gotta embrace the wacky bullshit.

"These "no-nonsense" solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel. "

Grant Morrison has a very particular writing style that's both a blessing and a curse. I mean we make jokes about Bob's mario-shka jokes but Grant has freaking turned it into an art form where he's writing bullshit to the point where the reader is going, "Dude, I feel like I missed a few references somewhere." He's definitely best when someone can restrain him just enough to say, "make this intelligible."

As for his philosophy, I mean this was literally a concluding page on his first JLA story run:

 

[Mr Processor]

Once upon a time, MovieBob ranted in a review about her: "He opens his review of Jennifer's Body with a two-minute rant about how much Megan Fox sucks as an actress and is completely boring and generic even as a sex symbol."

But all she needed to do to win his coveted approval, was troon out her own children. Congratulations, Megan Fox, you can sleep well knowing you have Bob "MovieBob" Chipman's approval now!
