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.

I need whatever Ouija boards you guys are using to parse out Bob's "consoomer" analysis; I've read it five times and I can't get past it being complete fucking gibberish.

Let me see if I can help.

Robert is saying it's a good thing to consume a product unquestioningly, whatever the product is. Movie franchise, video game, etc., it doesn't matter. This is the epitome of the consoomer meme: consoom product, enjoy product regardless of quality, get excited for next product. Bob's enjoyment of the MCU is a textbook example.

As others have said, fans and customers have some patience. They'll endure a couple of flops, viewing them as one-offs, while demanding better quality from what they enjoy. But when the producers active shit on their customers (like Kathleen Kennedy), people will begin abandoning the product in favor of something else. In the case of luxury products, like movies, people may decide they don't want to watch movies anymore. This is natural customer behavior: you purchase what you like, and if you don't like the product, you move on.

Robert is saying this behavior is bad, because you're supposed to treat a product like a sports team. You're supposed to have brand loyalty, no matter what. If this sounds insane, it's because it is. You don't have to settle for a turd sandwich if actual food is available, and you don't have to settle for an IP being driven into the ground if you can find the same thing elsewhere.

Robert says you should settle for the turd sandwich and be grateful that the turd sandwich even exists.

Back translation by Google: "Condolences to friends and supporters in Germany who are mourning the fire at Europa Park. So far there have been no fatalities, but for many there has been a profound loss of connection to fond memories."

I have never heard of Europa Park. Turns out it is Germany's knock-off of Disneyland, complete with its own rat.

In other words, nothing of value was lost.

I need whatever Ouija boards you guys are using to parse out Bob's "consoomer" analysis; I've read it five times and I can't get past it being complete fucking gibberish.

Man, I did the best I could, but I think it really is just gibberish. It's like, I can see the words he wrote, they're (mostly) grammatically correct English, they mean something (in theory), but...it just doesn't make sense. He's literally saying that things are actually the exact opposite from how they are and we're supposed to be impressed by his profound wisdom.

Consoomers are the "fair weather fans" that he mentions derogatorily. They only watch something if it's popular so that they can continue to be in the know with what everyone else is discussing, and as soon as it's not, they move on to the next product. They are in fact completely passive, letting the whims of the popular zeitgeist dictate what they watch because they don't want to seem out of touch.

Fans are the ones that care enough to complain when things go downhill. Consoomers will either continue to watch anyway without noticing something's off, or they'll quietly switch to the latest popular thing. Yes, sometimes fans sperg a bit much, but I'd rather have a passionate sperg than a braindead consoomer. You should generally listen to them when they tell you something's up, because when you lose them, you lose the general audience too. (There's a lot more to it than that, but I'd be here all night writing.)

It really falls apart when he tries to bring sports fans into his argument, because it really blows a hole in it. Sports fans are notoriously passionate about their favorite teams, and if a player or the team or the coach is fucking up, you better believe they'll get mad about it. According to Bob, though, because they care about their team's performance, they're not actually fans. Okay, so then who is, fatass?

It's a confusing mishmash where he's attributing behaviors of one group to the other, or implying that a certain behavior is actually good or bad when it's not. He's trying to sound smart again by throwing up a word salad, but as always, it's sound and fury signifying nothing. I guarantee you that all of us here have put way more thought into this than he ever did.

I beg to fucking DIFFER, Bob.
Exhibit 1 from 1994
Exhibit 2 from 2006
Fuck you, Bob. I cared.

one of the rare times Bob's too lazy to analyze the blue curtains.
I may have not read a whole lot of comic books back in the day, but I did watch the X-men animated series from the 1990s. We got a whole fuckton of backstory/exposition/why are his fists full of knives, and it was AWESOME. Just because Bob's an incurious smoothbrain doesn't mean the rest of us are or have to be treated as such.

And NO, Bob, they're not "swords". They are CLAWS.

It's really rich of Bob to consider Kraven the Hunter as a "C-Lister". Especially since he was prominent in Spiderman The Animated Series in the 1990s.

If Bob didn't internally contradict himself at least 3 times in a tweet thread, it's not Bob. For he is the Kwisatz Tarderach, Masshole Mussolini, Pol Potbelly, Last of his Line, Lard of Lynn, formerly of Flooding Basement Hovel and current resident of Casa de Mama Chipman, Bob the Blue Curtain Builder, Bane of the Sisterbang Counties, Drumpf and Elmo's Personal Nemesis, Camp Commandant of the Wastelands, Passive Slayer of the MAGAnaiseghoulen Barrow Wight Trash CHUDs, the Pope of Not-A-Persons, the exceptional crayon-eating, paste-consooming Blue Curtain Analysis Expert; who, like the Kingpin, his sins are only exceeded by his girth.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

That's not "woke", that's fucking NORMAL. "Woke" would be Kirk going on and on about how Vulcans are marginalized and oppressed and how Stiles has Human White Male Cis Straight Privilege.

They're too stupid to know the difference. Because they assume it's all the same.

See, the problem here is Bob THINKS he has Friends. But as the narcissistic autist sperg he is, he considers what most people call "acquaintances" as "friends". Fellow Masshole autist sperg narc Andrew Dobson is the same way. Especially with people who tick a box or three and share the same political slant. The people on the Boston Film Reviewers "club"? "Friends", even though he probably hardly sees or talks to them. Most of Bob's social life seems to come from either boozing it up in Hahvahd watering holes talking to random would-be lawyers, attending movies with fellow "reviewers", or tagging along with whatever Lesser Brother is doing. He probably considers Lesser Bro's friends as HIS friends, too, but I've seen hangout photos in Casa de Chippa with all those hippies and no sign of Bob anywhere.

The funny thing is, he outright admitted this after Lindsay blew him up... and yet I doubt he actually learned his lesson from that. Considering he still talks about 'friends in the industry' he probably assumes someone like James Gunn is his best buddy because of all the cheerleading Bob's done for him. He's mentioned having conservative friends, but as you pointed out he's probably talking about Chris' friends, or some bartender who works at the Dave & Busters he frequents who he assumes is a right winger because he actually knows nothing about the guy.

Consoomers are the "fair weather fans" that he mentions derogatorily. They only watch something if it's popular so that they can continue to be in the know with what everyone else is discussing, and as soon as it's not, they move on to the next product. They are in fact completely passive, letting the whims of the popular zeitgeist dictate what they watch because they don't want to seem out of touch.

Bob should know. He abandoned Mario during the weak phase that was the Gamecube, and only came back when the Wii and DS started making waves again. He was praising DC over Marvel because he loved the Batman and Justice League Unlimited cartoons, until the MCU came along and anything outside of it was decreed by him to be an offense to God. And he ditched Kevin Smith for not living up to his ideals, and then started praising him when he worked on that Supergirl show.

Bob you want JKR to die and are saying it publicly. That isn't even a attempt at comedy. You're wishing DEATH on a woman and destruction of a beautiful ship just because she doesn't like troons. My solution to the Orca problem is simple: torpedoes and 30mm cannons, they'll learn to fuck off.

Once you sin in Blobbo's eyes, it's all over. No second chances or critical thinking, you're done. That and he hopped way more onto the Marvel bandwagon. Can't be fans of both and make money off both

Marvel's only part of his "Sin" the larger "Sin" is since BvS he identifies Snyder and his fan base with "Dude Bros" the type of guys who "bullied" his butterball ass as a kid. If they're unhappy than Blobby is happy which goes to show how sad and pathetic his life is.

Bob leeches happiness from others. For example, makes fun of others for having cars while wanting a Hyundai Santa Cruz mini truck in a non existent electric variant. He thinks the rest of the world are chuds while wanting what the chuds or dude bros have.

 

[A Very Big Fish]

I may have not read a whole lot of comic books back in the day, but I did watch the X-men animated series from the 1990s.

As someone who never much liked the X-men, aside from my homeboy, Kurt Wagner, Wolverine's backstory of the Weapon X program was also important for introducing and tying together a bunch of other characters, including Deadpool, Sabretooth, and X-23. Not to mention that in Logan, probably the best X-men flick, all the kids at the end are directly tied into Logan's backstory.

He abandoned Mario during the weak phase that was the Gamecube

He also seems to hate on Metroid when it decided to branch out in the Prime trilogy, despite the fact that Metroid Prime is one of, if not the most beloved entries in that entire franchise.

A long long mess in which Bobby compares capeshit movies with LoTR. I can't make any sense of it.

Bob asserting that LotR wasn't pop culture because it wasn't on school reading lists is staggeringly retarded, even for him. Those lists aren't pop culture. Kids don't hang out at the mall (or wherever kids hang out now) and talk about the conflict between new and old money as presented in The Great Gatsby, or calling each other Pony Boy because they read The Outsiders. The conversation just feels like Bob being needlessly contradictory, as the original posters point (You should really nail the story for your movies most important and popular characters) should be controversial to no one who hasn't had a lobotomy.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

It's astounding how Bob finds new and interesting ways to be a complete and total retard even after 10+ years of constant internet retardation.

You go Film Robert truly a Deep Thinker!

 

[Ralph Barnhardt]

Was it Man of Steel or BvS that he initially liked and then walked back when it became the popular thing to do so?

 

[Mr Processor]

Ironically considering earlier, the only possible interpretation I have for this (and I'll admit I'm stretching my bob interpretation subroutine) is related to anime.

Because in japanese games and shit, you have the A-F ranks & grades for stuff. Well what goes above an A? "S" S-tier or SSS-tier is often used among weebs to denote something even higher than A+.

Yes, the S ranking is from Japanese games and the like:

'S' tier may stand for "Special", "Super", or the Japanese word for "Exemplary" (秀, shū), and originates from the widespread use in Japanese culture of an 'S' grade for advertising and academic grading.[1][7]

At this point though I think S-tier is part of Internet culture beyond just Japanese things, due to people making hundreds and hundreds of tier lists for various things as lazy YouTube content.

True, but the question is how aware is Bob of this and those things?

That's not rhetorical, I'm legitimately curious though we do know his love of Japan. (do I have to post the gif again?)

Movie Bob hating on Snyder bros....nothing has changed

 

[OutInTheRain]

A long long mess in which Bobby compares capeshit movies with LoTR. I can't make any sense of it.

There's a lot of stupid to unpack here, and not just normal stupid, but advanced stupid. Like you have to go to a special school where you have to where a helmet all day stupid. The kind of school where you have classes like Pants Shitting 101 and Advanced Drooling.

Treating these characters like they are just the logo is the reason why the DCEU is in such bad shape. Treating the logo as the selling point and assuming the piggies will keep consuming the MCU slop is why the MCU is dying. When Superman doesn't act like the character does in the comics, the fans notice and bitch. Poisoning the well, and steering people away from your movie. For an absurd example, if the next Batman movie stars Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell, takes places in a trendy London bookstore and is a romantic comedy....that not Batman, that's Notting Hill with a Batman suit CGI'd in. Do you think fans would show up to that? Blobbo's thinking is peak consoomer.

As for his LoTR take, Ralph Bakshi made LoTR movies in the 70's, Rankin Bass of stop motion Christmas special fame, made a Hobbit movie, that ran in syndication for years and years. Nearly every single english teacher of the last nearly 70 years had read LoTR. You could buy LoTR bootleg merch in every single headshop for 50+ years. It's a book that has never been out of print. The blueprint for every single fantasy work, since it's inception. It launched Fantasy as a genre in North America. Yeah, it's not as big as Star Wars was, but in the 1990's and 2000's, there was a massive amount of Star Wars media, books, comics, games. LoTR prior to the movies had 4 main books, and some books made from Tolkien's notes, and a lot of artwork inspired by them.

LoTR was always popular, just not with Blobbo's illiterate sperge crowd. You can watch Star Wars, but had to read LoTR. Which one do you think required more effort?
