Ethan said he was going to go back to making Star Wars videos to try and resusitate his channel and sure enough his latest video is a Star Wars toy review.

Problem is, he already missed the boat. The grifter cycle for the Acolyte and Star Wars Outlaws has already passed, and there's nothing really on the horizon except the Mandalorian movie. Star Wars is a vastly diminished brand.

You can feel his desperation at this point.

Making toy reviews for 40 year old men who spends money on comicbooks and toys themselves, and accepts superchats when he streams every day?

Sounds like a birthday party clown to me. Though not a very successful one, honestly. Like a sad one that has vomit on his collar from the night before.

I been saying this for years at this point in this thread. and people like me don't even follow him anymore. Ethan is for me as Richard c meyer was to this thread until recently, who?. When people stop outrage clicking, no one cares, and I truely don't care. Reap what you sow @FROG you was warned.
 
I'm guessing by the controversy that Ethan Von Scriber is pretending to like Joker like he pretended to like Barbie? Seriously, he is a narcissist for whom any attention is good attention, even if he looks foolish in the process.If people would stop giving him attention he'd go away like Freddy did when people stopped believing in him.

Zack is not a narcissist, he's just weird, so he'll stick around forever and get increasingly "not mad" until he has a rage aneurism.

He is very talented as an artist but he let his brief fame get to his head and making comics became a second priority, ney third priority.

It is a tragedy, he came at the most opportune moment and immediately gained a massive fanbase that were willing to send him money
but instead of cultivating this and building a franchise he switched to be "he funny guy on youtube" and stream all day instead of
working on the comics.
He surely must realize that if he keeps releasing one book ever 4-5 years, it is really hard for his fan base to stay excited and look forward to the next book.
He got the golden opportunity of a lifetime and just fucked it up because he had no tard-wrangler.

Just imagine if he had a proper tard-wrangler that locked him in a room for 8 hours a day and "you are not coming out until you have drawn one page and then, maybe, if I am happy with the result I will let you stream on friday night".
He would have been able to release a new book every 3 months and all his fans would still be there, wallets open, eagerly awaiting the release of CyberFrog #32.

(I don't think it is too late though. If he stops streaming and being a culture warrior tard and just focused on making a new book every quarter and switched to only stream on friday nights, ONLY talking about the book, then I think he can salvage his franchise. He has almost no overhead at all so even if he "only" sells 5000 copies every quarter that is still enough to live really well and he would be building his franchise at the same time..)

I care more about Art & Culture than about the egos of e-celebs. The Birthday Party Clowns got corrupted by money. They started faking reviews. Giving bad reviews to good movies because "The Narrative" required it. They were (and are) POISONING fandom with their relentless negativity. They became political pundits. It's literally my job as a critic to point this out.

So, let's break this down bit by bit:
1. "I care more about Art & Culture than about the egos of e-celebs." There's not much to say here except that Richard C. Myers is philistine with extremely bad taste in "Art" and "Culture." He's the opposite of an authority on these two subjects.
2. " The Birthday Party Clowns got corrupted by money." No they didn't. I refute your assertion. Don't agree? Prove it. You got corrupted by being a failure and a loser, Zack.
3. "They started faking reviews." No they didn't. I won't ask you to prove it because I've seen your proof. It basically amounts to, "They didn't have the same opinion as I did."
4. "Giving bad reviews to good movies because 'The Narrative' required it." Yeah, those are bad movies, Zack. If they were good movies you probably wouldn't like them and think they were boring.
5. "They were (and are) POISONING fandom with their relentless negativity." They aren't relentlessly negative, at least your main target The Critical Drinker isn't. (If anything, he should be more negative and stop giving good reviews to the occasional slop movie because he didn't dislike it.)
6. "They became political pundits." No, they didn't. See above where The Critical Drinker gives Disney content like Prey a good review. If he were political, he'd tell his fans to avoid it to stop Disney which gives a lot of money to left-wing causes.
7. "It's literally my job as a critic to point this out." Zack, your job isn't critic. If your job was critic, you wouldn't make any money at it, because as an unpaid amateur critic you are terrible. Your job is making comic books for your paying customers and delivering them in a timely manner. Maybe work on doing better at that?

But the problem is that too many people are now wise to his game. He's got an established record of making promises he doesn't keep. Once people start to know you as the guy who will take your money, but probably won't give you what you paid for until years later, if at all, most people aren't going to trust you with their money anymore.

Plus he's an incorrigible degenerate, like a junkie. He'll never buckle down, he'll always end up ditching work so that he can indulge his desires. He's fucked.

Zack is not a narcissist, he's just weird, so he'll stick around forever and get increasingly "not mad" until he has a rage aneurism.
Did anybody listen to Zack's new video entitled "PATRIOT GAMES- Birthday Party Clown YOUTUBERS Are Actually Just Failed POLITICIANS"? It's remarkably incoherent. Zack's latest genius theory is that the BPCs want to be politicians, but they don't really want to be politicians, but when Zack watches their videos he feels like they totally want to be like Republican politicians. He either sounds like he's high on cocaine or like he's manic.

Not a psychologist, but I'm starting to wonder if Zack has some kind of bipolar thing going on? He will make videos like this latest one where he's babbling excitedly about a bunch of things, starts going off on tangents, then inevitably talks about the latest divine revelations that occur to him, then tries to weave this all into some kind of point that makes no sense. And then sometimes he'll make videos that are depressive low energy rambles.

"Hopped up on goofballs." He might be self-medicating. I don't know if he has a method of getting prescription medication that he shouldn't be able to get, but he's totally the kind of person who would think he knows better than the doctors and get himself some pills that he really shouldn't be taking.

Or he could just be nuts, there's always that.

Actually, that would be a good poll, "Is Zack... on Crack?" Signs point to yes.

I don't like giving him views because I think part of his whole villain arc is he thinks he can trick people into watching his videos by being an inflammatory troll. Well, I guess I could try downloading it. I suspect that still counts as a click, though.

Watching this is akin to talking to a ranting homeless man in the local subway station.

I did wonder if Zack's on drugs? High on cocaine or some other stimulant or having manic episodes? I'm kind of leaning towards manic episodes. I don't know anything about the real Richard C Meyer, but for some reason he doesn't seem like the druggie type. I could be wrong about that. Anybody know anything more about his background that would speak to that?

So his job is a "critic" yet cries when other people do the job better than him?
Lol. "How can anybody question me? Guys, it's LITERALLY my job to spew out crazy gibberish, because I decided to give myself this job."

Zack has always been manic. In fact, early on, a lot of people found that endearing about him.

What's different now is he's utterly stupid, and his opinions are complete dogshit.

As for drugs, I can tell you if that he starts hocking a product called "the Balldo," he's fucked. Pour one out for him immediately.

I was looking at the Power Rangers full franchise auction over on Heritage Auctions and I was kind of awe struck by how cheap this stuff is going. Granted there's 4 weeks of bidding left open. But it kind of blows my mind that somebody out there can walk away with th most valuable versions of Jason David Frank's suits for less than the price of a used Honda Civic...

But after that unsettling thought left my mind, I realized this: If Power Rangers is in this bad of shape, the comics industry must be likewise kneecapped at the moment.

Comics, like Power Rangers, have become a nostalgia brand. Sold, or rather focused, on an older demographic while offering younger demographics some kind of attention here and there.

The similarities stop there though. Comics evolved and expanded for a time, perhaps for too long, and Power Rangers never shifted it's game, save for a couple of random instances when the bosses weren't looking.

Thus, we arrive at Comicsgate and the greater attempt to relive the 90's comic surge (same time period that Power Rangers was storming the world's media outlets), and much like IMAGE (at the time) and now Comicsgate; what worked in the 90's was ported into today's marketplace as though there would be no shift in consumer expectations.

I had wondered for a long time why Power Rangers failed, it's been stumbling for over a decade now. But I see it now, it's the reluctance to shift up and become something new. Comicsgate and Meyer, likewise didn't take the initiative to shift up their game until it was too late. When Power Rangers decided to be as original as possible, it was for the very last TV season. Similarly, when Meyer decided to be honest about his worldivews, it was during his last hurrah.

And here we are with Comicsgate, Ethan aligning himself with the Abusive Alcoholics Anonymous of internet personalities.
During his last hurrah?
Big if true.

Nigga what do you mean 'did anybody listen to...' I wait for YOU to post up the notes, I'd blow my fucking brains out if I had to listen to his videos anymore unironically. I don't have the time.

Once you include prescription drugs, almost anyone can become a druggie type. Once you don't have to buy from Sleazy Sil in a dark alley, a lot of the stigma can go away. The only thing is if he was on a prescription drug he'd probably mention it.
Lol. "How can anybody question me? Guys, it's LITERALLY my job to spew out crazy gibberish, because I decided to give myself this job."
Just like that ranting homeless person I mentioned previously.

They did do that Go! Go! Loser Ranger! cartoon, but that's not officially Power Rangers. (Also it lacks the American element unless the dub brings that in.) I think a big part of Power Rangers problem is it needed a Japanese show to provide the special effects and monsters.

EVS and Zach having a copium melt down because a GG retard went on Peirce Morgan. Zach had his chance with that interview and swindled it with his gay hair cut, EVS in his infinite ego probably wishes it was him getting attention from Morgan. I doubt anyone in the YouTube geek/media critic space wants to be a political figure, there are plenty of precedent of that not going well.
