To be brutally honest, Zack really didn't do much for any culture war, apart from getting bent over and bummed horrifically on national TV by a C-list Australian comedian on Comedy Central in 2018. That shocking public buggery is the most significant cultural war event he was involved in, as far as I can tell.
And his useless movie opinions certainly haven't helped either - unlike Frog he liked The Last Jedi, meaning he never gained any clout with the Fandom Menace side of the culture war, which exploded in the wake of that film and became a whole mini-grifter-moocher-complainer industry on Youtube, as woketardery raged across the popcultural landscape, burning up one franchise after another.
If Zack is just 'passing through' all this, I wonder where he even intends to end up? Does he have something in mind, a vision or plan?
Or is his path destined to be more of a chaotic, shaky squiggle, a Narwhal drawing line, swishing here and there, bending in on itself retardedly and ultimately just looking very stupid and weird?
Sigh, what are we going to do with Our Boy Zack. He's not into videogames, he's got shit opinions on movies, he doesn't even play with toys amusingly like Frog, who became famous for smashing his toys on Youtube and is more famous for that now than for any drawings he ever did.
Let's just hope Chuck Dixon can save our Zack, that's his only hope now - Dixon, Nolan and Stallone can save this kid, pull him out of this. I hope!
I agree with what you've said here but I had to rate it Optimistic because of the last line. I don't think anyone will pull Zack out of this. He won't let them.
After he dropped the Waid suit, he just quit on everything. He abandoned the fight he took up, he abandoned the movement he started, he abandoned the platforms he used to promote his work, and he's put his most popular work on the shelf so he can stay busy working on late campaigns that get maybe a third of his former audience. He picked a bunch of fights and ran off. Now he just wants to be "left alone" to engage in important shit like using his channel to comment on twitter bullshit he supposedly didn't want to engage in and ignoring his friends that give him solid advice.
When he was the plucky underdog fighting against an avatar of the cancer ridden comics industry, people cared. Without that, what is he? A middle aged weirdo that has the tastes of a 16 year old. Nobody cares about his opinion on some stupid direct to video action movie or how annoyed he gets when Whataburger forgot to give him extra salsa for his breakfast burrito, or how Larry Hama's GI Joe run was the pinnacle of comics storytelling. People didn't mind it because he was a funny dude and represented a struggle. Now he's just annoying.
Since he dropped the suit, he's been coasting on what's left of the good will he generated in the past. His new projects are failing because nobody cares about them and he refuses do the lowest level of promotion necessary to make them care. Shit, Narwhal at least streams about 499 even though his channel gets Adam Post levels of engagement.
Zack's in an undeniable nosedive and when the dust settles, he'll just go away because that's what Zack does.
