A review I always think back on is The Immortal with the single take shtick. It's a filming trick that's usually more appropriate for action/drama sequences than a glorified standup sequence. I don't think James tried anything interesting visually again afterwards.
Yeah his reviews were honestly still pretty refreshing and good even back then, people seem to forget its only recently he's completely stagnated in his approach to work and his videos.

His classics like Ghostbusters, Sega CD/32x, Dick Tracy, Moonwalker, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and Tiger Electronics had shown us that Bimmy used to have passion and care.

I mean what do you think people really seem to disagree with me that James isn't really a lolcow, should he be more of a careercow? having him with some absolute degenerates like John K seems a bit ridiculous. The man is an objective success who was once one of the most subscribed Youtube channels ever and has changed internet comedy for good.

Only other one I can think of afterwards was The Last Ninja with the whole talking to his younger self thing, though that worked really well because it was probably written long ago.

As of late he boarders on cowdom.
I’m definitely in the “James is a cow” camp, because he could always drop another “making of“ video where he spills his spaghetti yet again. I also find most cows just boring or frustrating because a lot of them are lucky morons perpetually failing upwards, but James seems slightly malevolent and has nowhere to go but down. He’s worth watching.

I just feel like what defines a lolcow is so loose now. I can't really necessarily call him a lolcow since he's hygienic, married, (once) made quality content, has a pretty good life going for him and isn't as big of a buffoon as Chris Chan is. Basically I just use chris as the template for determining what is/isn't a cow, but I know (especially lately) many others on here lower the bar much more than that description when determining the qualification for such.

Almost any douche on youtube that has some things worth criticizing about them seems like they're a cow these days.

My memory is sorta fuzzy, so I only remembered either 2019, 2020 or 2021 as either years where I finally came to realization that Bimmy is a cow. He had this dream of being a filmmaker but had wasted it all on his shitty YouTube videos, and judging from his "making of" footage videos, it saddens me that he's becoming more like Chris Chan the way he keeps spilling his beans by saying or mentioning something that's embarrassing or almost borderline psychopathic.

We addressed this before in this thread. What makes someone a lolcow is not just their actions but the actions of those within their sphere. Does that make sense? So this thread is about James not caring and fucking up videos, Screen Wave hijinks, and also cringe from fanboys and anti-fanboys ala Cinemassacre Truth.

It's all encompassing.

All four camps that are the reasons why the Cinemassacre and AVGN names (and even Bimmy himself) are hurting themselves.

Precisely. If for no other reason, he is a cow because we're all anticipating the next time he says or does something ridiculous more than anything intentionally entertaining.

Doug Walker, Brad Jones, and James aren't cows but there are many cliche sayings to explain why their brands are constantly in the Lolcow Atmosphere here are 2.

You're judge by the friends you keep.

Sleep with Dogs and get fleas.
Out of the three you mentioned, Bimmy is more of a lolcow than either Doug Walker or Brad Jones. With Doug, he understands and is well aware when he gets in trouble and plays it chill, like the whole Spring 2018 CTC situation.

His Castlevania retrospective remains as probably the best video he's ever done.
