All three of these guys are varying level of bona fide media personalities. Levin fills in for Rush Limbaugh sometimes, who has an audience of, what, 20 million? Bob's contempt is partly a function of how totally he's in a bubble through which no dissenting opinion is permitted, and partly because of his sour grapes bitter envy of anyone who's succeeded where he's, to date, been a staggering non-entity.

It's even funnier when there was just a tweet posted where he complained about "gaslighting" (which nowadays is just snowflake speak for "broke my bubble").

 

[GeePee]

But you see it's different with things Bob's nostalgic about. Everything from Bob's childhood is timeless and perfect and should be preserved for all eternity. Remember we're talking about the biggest manchild in existence here.

we're talking about a guy who doesn't find the recent Mission Impossible movies good.Of course he's not gonna find actual great Bond movies like Cassino Royale and Skyfall good either...

Levin was also involved in an actual President's administration. He was an advisor to several members of Ronald Reagan's Presidential Cabinet.

Bob wishes he could have that kind of influence. Hell, he obviously thinks he has it on some level given his non-stop tweets to Disney trying to persuade them to rehire James Gunn.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

Off-topic: You guys know how happy Bob is that the Disney-Fox merger will bring the X-Men to the MCU, but does he and his ilk know that the deal needs regulatory approval from China? I asked this because I saw a giant tech merger get rejected by them two weeks ago, so I’m wondering if that could be a issue or not.

Bob still demonstrating his lack of awareness about a medium. Batman's weird behavior has been discussed well before this, as well as the duality of his nature -- Alex Ross's Batman: War On Crime was fairly good about Bruce musing on what he could do not just as Batman but as Bruce Wayne. And Oliver Queen has provided some bleeding-heart liberal arguments to Batman's ruthless nature.

And then Bob and Kiva both sperg about 'class issues', forgetting (or perhaps ignoring) that to Batman it's entirely irrelevant. He doesn't care if you're rich or poor. You can't buy him off anyways. Yes, his fortune gives him more options; as Affleck comments in Justice League, his superpower is 'I'm rich.'

Is Bob self-deluded on purpose?

These people get an amount of subs and views that Bob can only dream of, yet he's completely convinced that they are irrelevant and that no one gives a crap about them.

And to really show how much of a failure Bob's channel really is...

His channel has been stagnating for a very long time, while his right wing equivalent Razorfist just passed his subscriber count, and it seems to be growing rather quickly, he actively engages with his fanbase and people seem to enjoy it, while Bob has to depend on sites like Geek.com to get people to watch his content.

I wouldn't quite equivolate Razorfist to Moviebob. Sure, Razorfist is just as annoying as moviebob in many regards, but atleast Razorfist doesn't want to commit Mass Genocide (On middle america no less) or say that everyone on the other end of the political spectrum is sub-human (He does take potshots at them though, obviously). He is definitely very similar to Movie Heffalump in terms of smugness and self-righteousness, in your defense.

I will say it's also worth noting that Moviebob has one of the fastest growing threads on the website, and one of the largest, while Razorfist has only 18 pages (He definitely deserves his thread, but I was pointing more to how much easier Movieblob is milked for laughs)

Razorfist is an odd customer to me. He makes the occassional good video and is genuinely funny and engaging.

On the other hand he can be really spergy and tends to have knee jerk reactions to things and buy a bit too readily into conspiracy theories. He definitely deserves a thread.

That said he’s many magnitudes less of a cow than Bob is and I will forever love him for giving us this:

As long as Bob never, ever equates tamping down on your Farms thread activity with showing his dick over the internet, all's good in the hood.

Also Raz0rfist has actually gone onto other podcasts and argued with people that disagree with him. So say what you will, he's gone onto the battlefield and faced enemies. Compared to Bob who can't take an idea that didn't originate with himself.

Wakanda really is a bit of a head-scratcher. It's obviously Edgar Rice Burroughs for the 1960s; a lost "city" in the jungle but it embraces science. I'd love to know if an actual African would feel patronized or if they'd accept it as a nifty story element. I kind of suspect that they have bigger problems.

I arrived really late to this conversation, but Wakanda at least as it is portrayed on the film is not only a head scratcher but a by the numbers impossibility.

To put it short Wakanda at best would be like Cuba since culturally and intellectually speaking are tied to their neighbours but are isolated. They have the best Egypt, Aksum and Mali have to offer but worth nothing if they cannot keep Islam and Christianity outside, difficult since these religions have strong ties to these regions.
Their weapons and army doesn't mean anything if they cant put it on the market legally, and we can assume they are "allies" to major powers since they are present in several meetings, yet is expected they are in permanent state of scrutiny. If we have a Mansa Musa case it doesnt change since we are supposed to believe Wakanda is a free monarchy.
According to all data on their in real life location they have a vast territory populated by several ethnic groups, including all the variations of bantu, cushitic and mali people available. These groups don't tend to get along. Is even believed if Africa was never colonized nations as big as Congo would never been formed, at best you get bloody empires and Wakanda would have competence on each corner if it is that big.
Science, math and literature were for the most part an import from muslim empires. Wakanda will be trapped with outdated principles.
The best factor on why Wakanda could become a power is the same to Europe and Asia, but the Sahara acts as a natural buffer.

"No, really - watch! I'm gonna shoot him, and him, and her - yeah, they'll let me shoot women! - and him, and him, him... I'm gonna shoot ALL your guys and they're gonna show they whole thing. But if I pull my pants down and moon you after - THAT they'll cut away from. Watch!"

Behold, the first Moviebob opinion I have 100% agreed with IN YEARS. Violence is okay, but nudity isn't and that's absurdly inconsistent and hypocritical.

Good things do come to those who wait.

 

[Positron]

This is really a fascinating read, I'd recommend it to anyone wanting either a cheap laugh or insight into Bobs self-perception. Even when he's 'apologizing' the low key contempt for his detractors slides in. He also totally fails to correctly perceive while people hate him and has a really skiewed self perception of himself as a tough but smart straight talker.
He's also so upet over james gunn jabs about it get included in his non-apology.

It's an agonizing, rambling read. Bobby could not filter out the unimportant so he wrote the kitchen sink. The only new info I gleaned from it is that Bobby relied on so much on "second or third hand information" to make sense of his being fired that whatever he said is hardly trustworthy. He said that he didn't understand Escapist's owner had a right-wing bent until well after he was kicked out.

I put a lot of effort into staying sharp and behaving with a composure that befits the professional/intellectual caliber I try to invest in my work… none the less, I frequently fail at it, because no matter how book smart and “academic” I can affect – that’s just not where I’m from.

Why keep up a "professional" and "intellectual" persona when you have neither the aptitude nor inclination? After all, your most popular video ever, your "review" of Pixels, is the direct opposite of intellectual or professional.

...but suffice to say what’s in my blood when it comes to any kind of conflict is: You hit me, I hit back. You tell me to fuck off, I tell you to fuck off. You talk about my mother, I talk about your mother.

You're supposed to be an adult.

Like, say, using words like “subhuman” or “submental,” or other phrasing about that scrapes the edge of “using dehumanizing language as turnabout for active dehumanizers” and just ordinary dehumanization.

Just stop using the word "submental", you moron.
Bobby has a chin beneath a chin beneath a chin. He is one of the few people about whom the word "sub-sub-submental" makes sense.

I’ve done so [tarring entire regions, states, towns etc for the actions of a movement], it’s not cool, I recognize that (even unintentionally) that that kind of talk even directed at genuinely awful people for the “right” reason can be indirectly hurtful to decent people otherwise; I apologize for having done so and am committed to making my points in a more constructive way.

I thought there can be no "decent people" living in the midwest? Let's see how long you can keep up with your "commitment". I bet 3 days.

As someone who has studied history and maintained an interest in alternate history until recently, Black Panther bothered me on some level because I could not suspend my disbelief. The video addresses many of my issues with the concept of Wakanda being a isolated technological wonderland because, "vibranium." The premise of the film falls apart when one tries to engage it on a level deeper than a popcorn film. I mean, how advanced of a society can they truly be if they choose their king through ritual combat? Bob does not have any appreciation of history nor does he possess rudimentary understanding of the cultures of the continent. I recall reading on another forum how native Africans have a low opinion of African-Americans, whom they see as arrogant and appropriating tribal colours and garments without any understanding of their significance.

I may be one of those "white devils" Killmonger hates, Black Panther comes off as an "ugly american" parody of African culture to me. At least The Lion King treated it with reverence and I would argue is more culturally significant than Black Panther.

Rather :late:, but:
>south korean voice actress fired for t-shirt
>doesn't mention she endorsed a radical feminist group
That group being Megalia; a radical feminist group that makes incels.me look sane. A radical feminist group that would make American TERFs become housewives out of embarrassment for how volatile they are.

That's why she was fired.

It's worse than you think. It sounds to me like Wakanda is the Marvel equivalent of DC's "Gorilla City", a technologically advanced village housing gorillas who became intelligent after a meteor--later retconned into an alien spacecraft--imbued them with super intelligence. It was basically a "primitive people/creatures are highly advanced--what a TWEEST!" plot device. In Black Panther's case, it's now morphed into some kind of reverse racism, "rebalance the scales" sort of thing. "Gee, we're sorry about that whole colonialism thing. Here! Have a Blockbuster movie featuring an African village where everyone is waaaaay smarter than most white people!" It's like when a movie presents a female main character who's a Mary Sue with no faults in the belief that doing so makes up for 5000 years of women living under the boot of "The Patriarchy".

I'm shocked that victim groups didn't protest the name of Black Panther, seeing as how it's extremely on the nose about the character's skin color. I seem to recall them frying the Power Rangers TV series for having the Black Ranger played by a black actor. Enough of a stink was raised that the races of the Black and Yellow ranger (the yellow ranger played by an Asian, of course,) were swapped in the Power Rangers Theatrical Movie.

I can't recall if MovieBob is crazy about the Power Rangers or not. He could have made a very good third season villain, ranting about his vision of the Superior Future, living in a Moon Castle surrounded by his Moon Wheat.

 

[Kulee Baba]

I'm aware of that, obviously Razorfist doesn't sperg near as much as Moviebob, and (as far as i know at least) he doesn't seem to have Bob's genocidal thoughts, i was comparing them because both of them started out around the same time (Bob's channel is three years older, but before 2009/2010 he only posted his movie pitches in trailer form) and back then they at least respected each other's work, and i just find it funny how Razor is doing rather well just with is YouTube account, while Bob has to depend on other sites and e-begging (not that Razor doesn't do it, he gets some extra money with stream donations) to keep afloat.

The commonality between Razorfist and Bob is that their content is focused on nerd outrage. And that is sincerely one of the oldest and frankly tired branches of internet entertainment. A dork ranting and raving about something as innocuous as a flawed video game or popcorn flick can be very funny. At the end of the day it’s profitable so I can’t blame them for sticking with their unoriginal acts.

What seperates them is that I feel Razorfist is well aware he plays a character and is trolling in a large swath of his content, as we learned recently the dude hardly touches the games he pans. Bob on the other hand I think is sincere, and like his fellow SJWs thinks light entertainment has lasting consequences on the minds that view it. This is why Bob wonders aloud what Mario and Link would have to say about Gamergate, he’s a buffoon and very mentally disturbed. An Ignatius Reilly without the college education.
