Well I'm definitely starting to see independent Comics rise in popularity. Maybe not much in comicsgate, BUT there are definitely more than a few companies becoming popular at this point and not just Rippaverse either. Say what you want about most comics being bad or mid, but let's be honest with at least one thing: actions speak louder than words, and so does the market. We can at least agree with that, right?

I agree with this. I just wish it was more than capeshit (I am aware of fantasy, sci-fi, western, and horror comics, but none of them ever get the same relevance as capeshit).

Well you're in luck my friend, because Rippaverse doesn't do just superhero stories, they do science fiction, they do western and they even do horror. There are plenty of brands out there that do more than just superhero stuff, you just have to know where to look. I would be happy to give you a few pointers if you want?
Man......Throat Goat is the most pathetic loser I've ever seen in my entire life. I thought people like Zoe Quinn, Mark Wade or even Tom King were bad when it comes to attitude.....but THIS guy is worse than all three of them. THEY at least deliver their products, regardless of how badly written they are..... can't say the same thing for Throat Goat.

Dark Horse has been my general stable in regards to this. I'm also aware of East of West and some other odds and ends.

Well Iconic has a few good brands that are not superhero stories, like Soulfinder for example which is more of a fighting against the paranormal series then what you consider "cape shit". Mike Baron is currently making a Western paranormal story called BronzeStar....in fact it's already on its second issue and it's currently on fundmycomic if you are interested? Rippaverse also has a couple of Western stories being made right now like Crotalus: Cold Blood, as well as a few science fiction stories like Dirty Deeds, and even a fantasy story like Twin Tricks. If any of that sounds interesting feel free to check it out.

Cool. You may find this hard to believe but not everybody buys from somebody because of their skin color. There are plenty of people that I don't buy from that are black, white or whatever, either because I don't find them or their work interesting or their attitudes are atrocious. Accuse me of being JDA or Fandom Pulse if you want to, but my opinions are my own.

Look, I appreciate that you are a Rippa appreciator, but there is another thread for comic book discussion/promotion. This thread is building up to its disappointing final episode where Froglander chokes on his own tongue on his exploding sales barge. If you'd like to help the cause, please post the gunfights and enjoy the show.

Fair enough, and I'm sorry for bringing up stuff like this that's completely off topic to what this thread is about. By all means continue to show how bad comicsgate and that faggot frog is doing as well as all his little sweepers and pay pigs that are dumb enough to support him even now. I'll try to shit post more than I currently am on here about comicsgate. I promise
also can you show me that comic book discussion/promotion thread? Or at the very least give me a name so I can find it? Thank you

Transcript:
Hi everyone, it's your boy Zach. So when the Phantom Menace came out, there was this weird phenomenon that I was just thinking about that makes no fucking sense. So one buddy in the friend group saw it like opening night, sold out, he got tickets.
And so every other person in the friend group, when they wanted to see it, they didn't just say like I'm gonna see it. They're like, hey Chris, I need you to go with me to see it. Like he was a tour guide or something like this.
And he didn't like it, but I don't even remember the logic of this, like why it happened. So he ended up seeing it with like, I was like the third person in the friend group he saw it with. And he was just kind of like, okay, let's go see.
But with the Mandalorian and Grogu right now, I'm that guy, but it's, I'm active, you know, I'm hitting up people in the friend group. It's like, hey, do you want to go see it? He's like, I already saw it. Or it's like, oh, I don't really watch, you know, sci-fi or whatever.
But I will definitely see this again. Is it in 3D? I'll go see it in 3D. Why not? But something amazing happened.
It came out and it's doing good. It's doing, well, there's this thing with box office where usually kind of like at the last moment, they give what it's really going to be. And sometimes there'll be a huge drop, but this one, they gave a drop and then that drop didn't happen.
So it's doing, you know, pre-drop numbers. And yes, they're always like, oh, just for inflation and compared to Solo and blah, blah, blah. Bro, Solo is the origin story of a beloved character that had been in the most popular movies ever.
Mandalorian is another adventure of a guy with three seasons of a show. Like realistically, Mandalorian should have half the box office of Solo, but it doesn't. It's doing good and people like it.
And the birthday party clowns do not, and I mean, do not have the ability to adjust to this. They're all giving the same review. It's like, it's terrible and boring and it has no reason to exist.
Why does this exist? Fun. Fun, asshole. I know you're terrified of your YouTube career disappearing and you having to go back to, you know, selling vapes over the phone or being the assistant manager of some store, but it's good and it's fun.
It was made to be a fun adventure in the vein of the Saturday morning serials of the, what, 1930s Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, and it totally nails it in that respect. I watched a Drinker review of it. Is there any human on earth who's like, I actually think that Critical Drinker watched this movie? Like, do you actually think that it's just like, it's, this is a man in his forties, like literally like cheating on his homework.
It's like, he's like, that's not a review of the movie. That's a review of the plot summary on Wikipedia. You know, it's all he just talks about is plot.
He doesn't talk about cinematography. He mentions performance, but it's just like, why does Sigourney Weaver, why is she Sigourney Weaver? Okay. What do you, what do you want her to have like a Swedish accent? That's her face.
That's her voice. That's her dry skin. That's, that's Sigourney Weaver.
That's good. That's going to be her. You're getting a known quantity and she's good.
And she's in five minutes of the movie, like just so desperate to complain about things. It's like, I'm seeing these reviews. It's like, aren't you the guy who peeled out in your IROC Z after leaving Snow White dramatically in like a Thursday morning showing of it that you saw by yourself.
Usually they use this excuse like, oh man, my wife's made me see it. No, no, you were in your little Trans Am or whatever. And you were by yourself leaving that you were very dramatically like, let's not Patriots.
I just sashayed the fuck out of Snow White. Go queen, go queen. Um, but yeah, like it's doing good and it was made essentially for cheap.
So it's funny. Like you see these little like poopy pants articles and it's like, it looks like the Mandalorian will make money, but is that enough? It's like, it's not really my business, but I would generally say yes. It's like my dad opened a store and successful, but it's not the number one restaurant ever with the best food ever.
Like what are you, is, is this the, is this the, you know, the moment in wizard of Oz where they pull back the curtain and the wizard is just some old dude from Kansas. It's like, oh, didn't he used to manage a rent-a-center and everyone just kind of worshiped you and thought you were like this genius rebel badass. And you're just a bloated guy who complains about Disney princess movies.
Like what is that? The funny thing is that they reveal that these guys are fake geeks, fake fans, because they only like movies the way movies were for a very brief period of time. Basically they like, what was it? Marvel phase three. You know who else liked Marvel phase three? Everybody.
Your aunt, your mom, your grandma, your sister, who used to make fun of you for reading sci-fi novels because it was the thing that was popular when it was popular because it was popular. They only want movies to be like the last few Marvel movies building up to Endgame, which is, I mean, it's literally like they're going to travel back in time to 1988 and say like, stop, don't read that amazing Spider-Man issue by David Michelinian and Todd McFarlane. And you're like, why? And it's like, it doesn't lead to anything.
It's just a fun adventure. It's like, you're fucking lame. Like what is this? It's like I said yesterday, your 10 year old self would hate you.
I was imagining these culture warriors like trying to explain. It's like, no, no, you don't understand. You're not 53 and bloated with a Leonidas beard.
I'm a soldier fighting in a war. It's like, you are lame as fuck. And why are your earlobes fat? There's no fat storage there.
Like they're just puffy everywhere. But yeah, so Mandalorian, Grogu, why does it exist? For fun. It's a fun movie to see on a Saturday afternoon and there's still time right now.
Or you can watch a 10 hour live stream excitedly. It's like, well, the first week is good, but first week is always good for Star Wars. In weeks two, three, four, five, or 22, it'll definitely fall short of the Q3 deliverables in Kuala Lumpur.
Like how sad is that whole community? Just these puffy and inflamed conservatives in their forties, fifties, and sixties wanting fun stuff to not be properly. Why does the movie about an armored badass with a jet pack bounty hunter fighting bad guys and getting in adventures? Why does it exist? You just explained because that's fun. Like I always say, the most mediocre men who ever existed hold everyone else to the highest expectations imaginable.
Oh, sorry. No, every movie's got to be Star Wars, A New Hope before it was called A New Hope in 1977 with the line around the block at Grauman's Chinese Theater. What? What, what have you contributed to art and culture? Plushies? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, Drinker used to be funny, right? I remember listening to him like during lockdown.
He was, he was funny, right? I'm not misremembering that. Dude, the humor in this one is like, and then mayonnaise and grog. That was the joke.
He would call the Mandalorian other words that start with M and Grogu other words that start with G. That was, that was the humor. That was it, man. So anyway, go check it out or not.
It's a perfect movie to see on a Saturday afternoon and depending on your time zone, you still have time or you can see it any other time and have fun. What is the point of it? To have fun. A fun sci-fi adventure.
Anyway, thanks for watching.

Strange Brain parts is a libtard bordering on a leftist, he makes good videos and knows his shit about comics, the fact that Dick thinks he would be affected by anything that people criticizing comics from a political perspective he's a bigger moron than even I thought.
No one cares about Star wars slop dick.

Transcript:
Hi everyone, it's your boy Zach. And I guess this day has been coming for a long time, to the point where I realized that the guys I used to think were so fucking cool kind of suck. Not as people per se, but as their profession, what they do, which is movie reviewers.
And that's the guys from Red Letter Media, half in the bag, Mike, Jay, and Rich. And it's fun to listen to them for so long, since like 2009 when they first went viral with their hour and a half review of Phantom Menace. It's been a really long time.
It's funny, Mike, he'll be talking about like, he's like, because he's been doing this so long, he'll say like, people say like, oh, whatever happened to your girlfriend? She was in the videos. He's like, you mean the girl I broke up with 15 years ago, that I dated for a year? But yeah, he had a girlfriend that did a couple videos with them. I loved them when they first started.
I was still watching them pretty steadily until a few years ago. And nothing dramatic happened. It was just kind of, you know, you watch them less and less, and then you realize you haven't watched them in a year.
I dip in every now and then. And they reviewed Mandalorian and Grogu, of course it's an hour long. And I've gotta say, because I've talked about, and many people have pointed out, like YouTubers I have a problem with, like Critical Drinker, they're basically just ripping off, you know, Mr. Plinkett.
It's just Scottish Mr. Plinkett. And I always used to tell myself, it's like, well, they copied something that was good, and then they turned it into something bad. But you kind of realize that it's this whole genre.
It's like this shithead, smart-alecky, I-know-better-than-everyone, it's very, very high school. And maybe it's not that noticeable when they started, I think they were, you know, early, mid-30s, and I think Jay was still in his 20s, and now they're all middle-aged men. It's funny, Rich used to look like complete shit, because he was like a fat guy who looked bald really young.
Now they all kind of look the same. And Rich looks like relatively good for the friend group. They're a lot of fun guys, but this whole smarmy, smirky, acidic, like, the prequels sucked, this sucked, well, this sucked, and it's just so bad.
It's just, it's not exactly Fruit of the Poison Tree type of situation, but it's the origin, the motivation for this style of, and it's a very fun style. It's a very friendly, convivial, it's like, oh, you know, I've had friends like these guys, and you know, sometimes I've kind of been like these guys, and it's kind of fun. It's, you know, you chop it up with your buddies, you know, I used to work in factories, so you're just always chopping it up all the time, you're like, oh, you see that Godzilla movie, oh yeah, that sucked, it was so stupid, blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, these guys made a career out of it, and they didn't just make a career out of it, they made an industry out of it, over having relatively uninformed, negative opinions of things as a thing, to the point where, it's kind of like, when I was growing up, everyone would talk about Monty Python, it's like, oh yeah, Monty Python, they're geniuses, they're geniuses, and like, you know, everyone, Saturday Night Live, SCTV, everyone's like, oh, you know, Monty Python, I finally watched it, and it wasn't very impressive, because it was just like, the Department of Silly Walks, it's like, what? This is the thing that inspired all these guys? Well, they kind of took it, and they ran with it, and they did other things with it. But so they're talking about Mandalorian Grogu, and just from the god damn beginning, it's smirking, and snarky, and it's like, we went to go see a movie. Dave Chappelle has a great line, like, he goes home, and his wife is hanging out with this gay guy, and he's like, he talks like a cartoon cat, like, he's like, hello, David.
He's like, in David's house, talking to him like that, and it's just like, it's not like, we went to go see Mandalorian, it's like, we went to go see, like, just like, like I said, very like, junior high sarcasm. I tried to watch this movie, Empire Records, which was a hit and a flop at the same time somehow. I mainly remember it because it was advertised in like, every DC comic for like, three months.
Apparently it was a flop at the time, but then it became like a, what is it called? What did they call viral things before they were viral? Cult, cult classic. And I couldn't watch it, like, every, fuck, every sentence is sarcastic. It's like, where were you? What's it to you? I didn't even care.
Anyway, I was just being friendly. Well, you failed in that. And just imagine like, that type of talking for two hours.
So yeah, it's a Gen X thing, it's like, I'm sarcastic, isn't that cool? No, it isn't. It was cool for like, a year and a half. It's not cool.
Why don't you try liking things, you fucking cunt? So yeah, so they're talking and it's just, just, just from get go. It's like, they're out there not to like it. And then they're doing shit that I didn't even notice they did because other people did because they copied it.
You know, I was making fun of all these sad old men were like, I haven't watched Disney Star Wars in five years. I haven't watched MCU in 10 years. Well, I haven't read a Marvel comic in 20 years.
And like, the whole thing is to brag about not doing things. Jay did that. He's like, this was written by a guy named Dave Filoni.
I never heard of him, motherfucker. You've never heard of Dave Filoni, who's been making Star Wars stuff since freaking Obama was president, first term. Like you, you haven't heard of them at all.
Like I was never really into like the, the expanded universe books, but like I heard of them. It's like something's on, right? Like some guy, the Zahn, Timothy Zahn, and the main one was heir to the empire. But if you said like, Oh, uh, uh, expanded universe, I wouldn't be like hair to the umpire.
I never heard, motherfucker. Do you have the internet? You've never heard of Dave Filoni. And you're bragging about it.
Like it's on him. The guy who made freaking Clone Wars and Rebels and Ahsoka. And I think he was involved with the book of Boba Fett.
And you review things for a living for two decades and you've never heard of them. And then even stuff you get like, you know, uh, Mike is like, um, you know, the thing about Star Wars is everything's bad, but then you really realize that the other stuff was not as bad. And then it's like, yeah, like the prequels.
And then Rich is like, the prequels sucked. Shut the fuck up. What? What in the Kevin Smith of early 2000s is going on? Grown ass men saying the prequels sucked.
A lot of Phantom Menace wasn't very good. But Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith has stood the test of time. Those are classic movies that fit right in with the original trilogy.
And it's just this thing of like, I don't know things. I don't do things. I'm going to go into this with the most negative, you know, attitude in the world.
I'm going to do a ridiculously long review and just pick about, you know, pick things apart and act like, let me put it this way. Like I always say, I have a friend who says, say something true, but just say in a different way. It's like, I didn't like when space jet back man got into adventures.
Why does this exist? Shut the fuck up. The good news is these guys are going to be dead in a few decades. The bad news is what they created will live on.
One of the most depressing things with the birthday party clowns is they're not all 50 year old men with Leonidas beards who are most likely gay. There's a whole new generation. We got the Jester Bell.
She's like half their age. And so it's easiest thing, you know, these people with no skills for any kind of a real career. They just go, hey, you know, Supergirl, it's going to be woke.
And my insider says it lost a hundred million dollars. And there's this like every, there's never a positive. There's never like, oh, we're running out of sad old men.
Like they're always, they're always a new generation of sad old men. And it's so fucking easy to get an audience with them. You just say, everything's bad.
Everything woke. Everything wants to kill you. They hate you.
Everything lost a hundred million dollars. I have insiders. And then you just repeat what everyone in your peer group says.
Like you're in some sort of cult. The Mandalorian Grogu is boring. Nobody asked for this.
It has no reason for existing. Motherfucker, you have no reason for existing. God damn.
But yeah, this is a classic like, are we the baddies moment where it's like, oh, I was acting like something good had been ruined by shitheads, like not understanding it. This was always bad. And it's like that thing that, you know, Luke asked Yoda about the force.
He's like, is it more powerful? He's like, and you're just like, no, it's quicker. It's easier. You don't have to build anything.
You can just nibble at things and gnaw at things and corrosive acid on things. So one of the things that the first, their first video that went super viral about Phantom Menace is they were going through this making of the Phantom Menace with, of course, like the, I mean, they talk about George Lucas like he's Homelander. Like everyone's scared to talk to him.
I just watched, I never watched. And they would just show clips to like prove what they were saying. I just watched the entire thing.
It's like an hour and it's on YouTube and it's got a couple million views. It's nothing like they said it was. There's no negativity.
It's a bunch of people super excited to make a Star Wars movie with their hero, who was not that old at the time. I think George was like, I remember thinking he was fucking ancient. He was like 48 when he started making the prequels.
So it's him. He's going out there. He's not super fat.
Like you remember him being with this like weird muppety voice. And he's just, he's just excited. He's like, oh, these, these are the, these are the battle droids, but they're actually really pussies.
And that's, that's like his sense of humor. He's like, oh, you know, we're, we're going to the history of this. And I'm doing something with Roman history.
And, and, you know, the, the, when the Republic became the empire and, and, you know, it's, it's like poetry. It rhymes. And they've been mocking him mercilessly for almost 20 years.
And there was nothing but fricking good vibes and trying. And that's one of the things I always say, the most mediocre men that ever existed hold everyone else to the highest expectations imaginable. You're George Lucas.
You've made Star Wars A New Hope. You've worked a lot on Empire. You created the original idea for Indiana Jones.
Everything you do has to be at that level. According to the schlubby guys who do skits that look like they should be on like UHF TV. So like, and then the thing that was most infuriating is he was talking about Mandalorian Grogu.
He was saying the same thing, the birthday party club. Oh, why does this exist? Because they wanted to make some fun. Why isn't there a character arc? Because it's just like, he's just like an action guy.
One of the great things about Mandalorian and Grogu is you got a guy who doesn't take his mask off and a rubber puppet. You can make these movies for the next hundred years. Like easily.
So I would absolutely love to see one of these every couple years. Even though it lost a billion dollars according to my insiders. See, I just did a freaking Mr. Plinkett voice.
And it's fun, but it's also easy. And it's a cheap, sarcastic, smarmy, 1990s, everything's terrible view on things. And it hurts to say this, but it was never good.
It wasn't corrupted. It was always bad. I will give that crew credit because when they're talking about filmmaking, and they've said this more than once, they made a movie Space Cop, which was supposed to be a B movie.
And they go, movie making is so difficult that we tried to make a movie bad on purpose and it was still exhausting. So then, you look at some of their advice and it's just like, here's one of the best movies ever. Just do that.
It's like, but you can't, you know how many things had to come together to make the best movies ever? Have you heard about the early screenings of Star Wars? It was a fucking disaster. Have you read the original script before the Gloria and what's her husband's name, the Hayeks did a pass on that where they put a ton of humor? And I got a comment yesterday from one of the guys, he's like, I think people really forget how huge humor was to the popularity of Star Wars and also Indiana Jones. Like Star Wars is funny as hell, like actually funny.
And they kind of, you know, kind of forget about that, you know, they put it in. So even like, you know, when they have the little puppets coming in their little teeny tiny spaceship, I was like, yeah, this is Star Wars. Star Wars is silly.
And that's a lot of its charm. So the good news is SpaceX IPO. That's good.
If you can get pre IPO, I mean, but the bad news is these guys that we've just kind of loved for like 20. Oh, the thing that made me so fucking pissed off is Mike goes, you know, because they were doing that thing where they pretended to not know who Dave Filoni is. And he's like, oh, I don't like this guy.
He's a 50 year old guy who loves Star Wars. They don't need guys like that making Star Wars. It's like, let me guess.
They need guys who hate it. They need outsiders with an outsider's perspective. And then these outsiders can run their ideas past George Lucas and he can improve them.
It's like, so now George Lucas gets respect. You've been viciously disrespecting him for decades. You built your career on disrespect of a creative genius whose only crime was not consistently putting out the best movie that ever existed.
And now when he's in his late 70s, now you appreciate him? Now you respect him? Now he's someone who should be listened to? You were literally, they're like, everyone's afraid to talk about it. They weren't afraid to talk to him. They were nervous because people didn't used to have cell phones with, you know, cameras on them.
So they hired some crew to do a documentary. And so it's like, oh, I'm talking to my boss in a documentary that's going to be on a DVD, so I'm a little nervous. They weren't fucking afraid of him.
Like he literally talks about him like he's Homelander. So I'm starting to repeat myself. It's getting hot out.
So it's usually a sign that I need to stop. Go check out Mandalorian and Grogu. It's a fun space adventure.
Was it funny? Yeah, there wasn't a lot of humor. There was light humor. Needed more humor.
All Star Wars movies need more humor. Anyway, thanks for watching. Bye.
[SPOILER/]
And that's the guys from Red Letter Media, half in the bag, Mike, Jay, and Rich. And it's fun to listen to them for so long, since like 2009 when they first went viral with their hour and a half review of Phantom Menace. It's been a really long time.
It's funny, Mike, he'll be talking about like, he's like, because he's been doing this so long, he'll say like, people say like, oh, whatever happened to your girlfriend? She was in the videos. He's like, you mean the girl I broke up with 15 years ago, that I dated for a year? But yeah, he had a girlfriend that did a couple videos with them. I loved them when they first started.
I was still watching them pretty steadily until a few years ago. And nothing dramatic happened. It was just kind of, you know, you watch them less and less, and then you realize you haven't watched them in a year.
I dip in every now and then. And they reviewed Mandalorian and Grogu, of course it's an hour long. And I've gotta say, because I've talked about, and many people have pointed out, like YouTubers I have a problem with, like Critical Drinker, they're basically just ripping off, you know, Mr. Plinkett.
It's just Scottish Mr. Plinkett. And I always used to tell myself, it's like, well, they copied something that was good, and then they turned it into something bad. But you kind of realize that it's this whole genre.
It's like this shithead, smart-alecky, I-know-better-than-everyone, it's very, very high school. And maybe it's not that noticeable when they started, I think they were, you know, early, mid-30s, and I think Jay was still in his 20s, and now they're all middle-aged men. It's funny, Rich used to look like complete shit, because he was like a fat guy who looked bald really young.
Now they all kind of look the same. And Rich looks like relatively good for the friend group. They're a lot of fun guys, but this whole smarmy, smirky, acidic, like, the prequels sucked, this sucked, well, this sucked, and it's just so bad.
It's just, it's not exactly Fruit of the Poison Tree type of situation, but it's the origin, the motivation for this style of, and it's a very fun style. It's a very friendly, convivial, it's like, oh, you know, I've had friends like these guys, and you know, sometimes I've kind of been like these guys, and it's kind of fun. It's, you know, you chop it up with your buddies, you know, I used to work in factories, so you're just always chopping it up all the time, you're like, oh, you see that Godzilla movie, oh yeah, that sucked, it was so stupid, blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, these guys made a career out of it, and they didn't just make a career out of it, they made an industry out of it, over having relatively uninformed, negative opinions of things as a thing, to the point where, it's kind of like, when I was growing up, everyone would talk about Monty Python, it's like, oh yeah, Monty Python, they're geniuses, they're geniuses, and like, you know, everyone, Saturday Night Live, SCTV, everyone's like, oh, you know, Monty Python, I finally watched it, and it wasn't very impressive, because it was just like, the Department of Silly Walks, it's like, what? This is the thing that inspired all these guys? Well, they kind of took it, and they ran with it, and they did other things with it. But so they're talking about Mandalorian Grogu, and just from the god damn beginning, it's smirking, and snarky, and it's like, we went to go see a movie. Dave Chappelle has a great line, like, he goes home, and his wife is hanging out with this gay guy, and he's like, he talks like a cartoon cat, like, he's like, hello, David.
He's like, in David's house, talking to him like that, and it's just like, it's not like, we went to go see Mandalorian, it's like, we went to go see, like, just like, like I said, very like, junior high sarcasm. I tried to watch this movie, Empire Records, which was a hit and a flop at the same time somehow. I mainly remember it because it was advertised in like, every DC comic for like, three months.
Apparently it was a flop at the time, but then it became like a, what is it called? What did they call viral things before they were viral? Cult, cult classic. And I couldn't watch it, like, every, fuck, every sentence is sarcastic. It's like, where were you? What's it to you? I didn't even care.
Anyway, I was just being friendly. Well, you failed in that. And just imagine like, that type of talking for two hours.
So yeah, it's a Gen X thing, it's like, I'm sarcastic, isn't that cool? No, it isn't. It was cool for like, a year and a half. It's not cool.
Why don't you try liking things, you fucking cunt? So yeah, so they're talking and it's just, just, just from get go. It's like, they're out there not to like it. And then they're doing shit that I didn't even notice they did because other people did because they copied it.
You know, I was making fun of all these sad old men were like, I haven't watched Disney Star Wars in five years. I haven't watched MCU in 10 years. Well, I haven't read a Marvel comic in 20 years.
And like, the whole thing is to brag about not doing things. Jay did that. He's like, this was written by a guy named Dave Filoni.
I never heard of him, motherfucker. You've never heard of Dave Filoni, who's been making Star Wars stuff since freaking Obama was president, first term. Like you, you haven't heard of them at all.
Like I was never really into like the, the expanded universe books, but like I heard of them. It's like something's on, right? Like some guy, the Zahn, Timothy Zahn, and the main one was heir to the empire. But if you said like, Oh, uh, uh, expanded universe, I wouldn't be like hair to the umpire.
I never heard, motherfucker. Do you have the internet? You've never heard of Dave Filoni. And you're bragging about it.
Like it's on him. The guy who made freaking Clone Wars and Rebels and Ahsoka. And I think he was involved with the book of Boba Fett.
And you review things for a living for two decades and you've never heard of them. And then even stuff you get like, you know, uh, Mike is like, um, you know, the thing about Star Wars is everything's bad, but then you really realize that the other stuff was not as bad. And then it's like, yeah, like the prequels.
And then Rich is like, the prequels sucked. Shut the fuck up. What? What in the Kevin Smith of early 2000s is going on? Grown ass men saying the prequels sucked.
A lot of Phantom Menace wasn't very good. But Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith has stood the test of time. Those are classic movies that fit right in with the original trilogy.
And it's just this thing of like, I don't know things. I don't do things. I'm going to go into this with the most negative, you know, attitude in the world.
I'm going to do a ridiculously long review and just pick about, you know, pick things apart and act like, let me put it this way. Like I always say, I have a friend who says, say something true, but just say in a different way. It's like, I didn't like when space jet back man got into adventures.
Why does this exist? Shut the fuck up. The good news is these guys are going to be dead in a few decades. The bad news is what they created will live on.
One of the most depressing things with the birthday party clowns is they're not all 50 year old men with Leonidas beards who are most likely gay. There's a whole new generation. We got the Jester Bell.
She's like half their age. And so it's easiest thing, you know, these people with no skills for any kind of a real career. They just go, hey, you know, Supergirl, it's going to be woke.
And my insider says it lost a hundred million dollars. And there's this like every, there's never a positive. There's never like, oh, we're running out of sad old men.
Like they're always, they're always a new generation of sad old men. And it's so fucking easy to get an audience with them. You just say, everything's bad.
Everything woke. Everything wants to kill you. They hate you.
Everything lost a hundred million dollars. I have insiders. And then you just repeat what everyone in your peer group says.
Like you're in some sort of cult. The Mandalorian Grogu is boring. Nobody asked for this.
It has no reason for existing. Motherfucker, you have no reason for existing. God damn.
But yeah, this is a classic like, are we the baddies moment where it's like, oh, I was acting like something good had been ruined by shitheads, like not understanding it. This was always bad. And it's like that thing that, you know, Luke asked Yoda about the force.
He's like, is it more powerful? He's like, and you're just like, no, it's quicker. It's easier. You don't have to build anything.
You can just nibble at things and gnaw at things and corrosive acid on things. So one of the things that the first, their first video that went super viral about Phantom Menace is they were going through this making of the Phantom Menace with, of course, like the, I mean, they talk about George Lucas like he's Homelander. Like everyone's scared to talk to him.
I just watched, I never watched. And they would just show clips to like prove what they were saying. I just watched the entire thing.
It's like an hour and it's on YouTube and it's got a couple million views. It's nothing like they said it was. There's no negativity.
It's a bunch of people super excited to make a Star Wars movie with their hero, who was not that old at the time. I think George was like, I remember thinking he was fucking ancient. He was like 48 when he started making the prequels.
So it's him. He's going out there. He's not super fat.
Like you remember him being with this like weird muppety voice. And he's just, he's just excited. He's like, oh, these, these are the, these are the battle droids, but they're actually really pussies.
And that's, that's like his sense of humor. He's like, oh, you know, we're, we're going to the history of this. And I'm doing something with Roman history.
And, and, you know, the, the, when the Republic became the empire and, and, you know, it's, it's like poetry. It rhymes. And they've been mocking him mercilessly for almost 20 years.

Well, obviously they are uninformed compared to a cultured person like Richard. I mean the idea that anyone could understand the art of film making better than Richard is so absurd as to verge on blasphemy.
I don't trust Richard to judge comedy because he doesn't have a sense of humor.
"Why don't you try liking things, you fucking cunt?" I mean, they do like things. They just didn't like the Mandalorian and Grogu.
"I can feel your hatred." -- Sheev Palpatine
I don't trust Richard to judge comedy because he doesn't have a sense of humor. I think Rich, Mike and Jay should be happy that Richard called them "schlubby" since hopefully that means he doesn't want to have sex with them.

Oh he was talking about RLM?
Dick fuck off. If anything RLM can be too soft on shit movies. I remember that one time when people were shitting on the Acolyte early on and they like half defended it as politically obsessed people(they show Ben Shapiro and "the Gayest star wars" clip) and then the series ended, they realized it was shit, admitted it was shit and they were wrong.
Dick has his gloves on and is desperately trying to punch God. I really hope they shit on him for it because he's so retarded it would be a slam dunk.
