Holy shit, this video's excellent. I love The Dark Knight but this actually helped me understand some of the deeper messages in the movie.

I think it also demonstrates how little Bob understands storytelling and conflict. I remember a while back he defended the MCU's terrible villains, saying that the movie isn't supposed to be about the antagonists and I think he insulted TDK. To Bob, a superhero movie should be about the superhero, but that's why the MCU is starting to stagnant; there's no stakes in many of the movies because their villains suck. If there's no good villain, then what's the point of the superhero?

The Dark Knight on the other hand had real, tangible stakes because the Joker was an intimidating villain, and people forget that he only had about 33 minutes of screentime in the 2 and a half hour movie. He left such an impact despite only appearing in roughly a fifth of the movie. And yet Bob interprets this as the movie being about Joker and not Batman, and uses it as another reason to discredit the movie.

I think that's one of many instances where Bob shows his complete of understanding of how conflict in movies is supposed to work; this is the same man who claims that POC characters should not face conflict on the basis of being a minority after all. And it's especially hilarious since why do most people see superhero flicks? To see the superhero fight the bad guy, right? But if the bad guy is lame then we don't care, and that's why The Dark Knight works so well since it's not about strength or physicality, it's a morality play between two unstoppable forces. TDK elevates the conflict to another level. But somehow, Bob thinks The Dark Knight is the bad superhero movie, not the dozen cookie-cutter Marvel movies that have come out in the past 2 years.

Another thing that kills my sides is when those fans say Bob is positive.. Bob is easily one of the most embittered people I have ever seen.

Like, even when Bob likes a movie, he has to take at least 5 days of Twitter sperging to bash everyone who doesn't like it.

Case in point: Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Bob really is a force for good! Just listen to his cult!

If I had a dream, it would be Bob's cult burning in front of his smug eyes, unable to savalge anything from it while we laugh at him. Seriously, this is incredibly dangerous for people to ignore Chipman's asshole-ish nature.

And probably says the DCEU villains are weak even though one could argue they are slightly more compelling than the MCU. Ignoring how he was portrayed, Lex Luthor was still shown to be a mastermind like past incarnations more clearly in the BvS Ultimate Cut. Also villains like Ares and Steppenwolf seem to be more a big deal than Marvel villains who are barely in the movie (Laufey) or are underdeveloped (Malekith).

You know, I never understood why people had a hard time getting Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman or why he hated Superman. He's not exactly like other versions of himself, note that he's an "Alexander Luthor Jr.", but it wasn't subtle at all. I guess the movie being bad caused people to turn their brains off early on so it appeared "he had no motivation".

 

[LiquidKid]

I feel like Bob would do that even if the whole "everything is political" nonsense hadn't kicked off. He is just so obsessed with convincing the whole world that he's some kind of great intellectual and is so childish that he would always treat having different opinions than him as some kind of failure.

I still think my all time favorite faux intellectual Bob moment was back when he tried to claim that all women are bisexual, mainly because women probably do turn bisexual around him. No one ever brings that up to him though, I think he apologized for it in a Q&A once but I forget

The only time Bob has his brain turned on is when he has perform the mental gymnastics to defend a dumpster fire like The Last Jedi and endless sperging over BvS. Granted, Wonder Woman aside (YMMV), the DCEU hasn't been been good there were some good things about it and it least it tries to distinguish itself from the MCU. If Warner Bros. directly aped Marvel Studio's style, Bob and his cohorts would be on the attack and loudly complaining that WB were unoriginal hacks.

fftopic:This is slightly tangental, but Bob reminds me of a personal lolcow of mine from another forum who has an obsessive hatred of the DCEU (I believe he is an admirer of Bob's and chummy with Brianna Wu.) He just loved to nitpick and bitch over the minutia in Wonder Woman, particularly the use of stereotypes with Diana's version of the Howling Commandos. Chief Napi appears to get the most scorn because he used smoke signals to alert Steve and Diana of Ludendorff's location. Never mind the fact walkie-talkies did not appear until at least 1937. He also glibly dismissed Eugene Brave Rock's small, but important contribution to the plot, which was a Chipman tactic.fftopic:

Bob and the aforementioned personal lolcow pretty much destroyed film criticism as a respectable vocation for me. I recall @Sexy Times Hitler recently showing Bob retweeting a political cartoon with a passenger complaining that the pilot was "out of touch." HAHA. No. No one's life hinges on a film critic's review of a film. After the ratings Thor: Ragnarok and TLJ earned from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, I'm beginning to see critics like Bob as more of an extension of the studios. They expect me to believe that these films are anywhere near the equals of The Godfather and No Country For Old Men? Please.

Is that lolcow Drew McWeeny by any chance?

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

Nope. His name Sean Korsgaard, an obscure journalist/critic from Virginia who hates anything DC produces that is not DCAU, especially the Silver Age.

 

[Gordon Cole]

I don't know how one comes off as shittier than Piers Morgan, but Bob sure found a way.

He has a point. I don't think Bob's 100% human, ergo "your kind".

Be accurate and count yourself.

Having a family, not getting by on hipster welfare and not living in your Aunt's basement is mockable now?

Raging dipshit.

Does retweeting Arthur Chu and having Type 2 Diabetes make you superior?

Bob's a useless talker who'll probably lose his job too.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

Dude is the definition of non intellectual "labor."

Also fat.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

I don't follow Piers Morgan and I don't really know anything about him besides him being a dick, but him telling Bob he must have always been a nobody is both hilarious and satisfying. That has to sting Bob to no end.

Also, Bob ignoring Piers' point about how acting arrogant over the working class led to Trump's victory in favor of insulting him is a classic, if ineffectual, Bob Chipman tactic.

ETA: I just remembered that Bob likes to pull that "You are you again?" shit to anyone who argues with him. I want to see people respond the way he does here. He probably won't make the connection.

 

[RockVolnutt]

Bob is totally using his vast intellect to do things like....having no idea what his favorite movie studio actually is or talking about being part of the master race. Research is for people who aren't born Superior.

Its funny because Piers Morgan is a actual proper toff and even he recognises the inherent hatred of the working class.

I don’t think any description or definition of Bob involves the word “labor”. “Laborious” maybe, as describing the effort it takes his fat as to ascend from his subterranean den. But “labor”? Not so much.

 

[LiquidKid]

I couldn’t find the exact thing where he brought up women being bisexual, but going through a lot of his older blog posts, he’s been complaining about all women being bisexual in fiction since at least 2009. Which is ironic because he wrote a script where the token girl is bisexual

But again, all older bob stuff. Still a funny read. It may be listed under “I wrote this crap” but I would have killed myself before publicly sharing details of a story like this if I wrote it

Goddamn MovieBob is smug as fuck. How is he going to be condescending towards Piers Morgan (like him or not, he at least has an actual career in journalism and television) when all Bob has is some retarded videos on YouTube and a shit book about a video game series that hasn't evolved in twenty years?

 

[GeePee]

Insightful my ass.

There's a channel that I enjoy immensely called Lessons From The Script, it started some time in 2016, and while it isn't very prolific, the amount of insight and excellent production values ensured that its owner has almost SIX TIMES as many subscribers as Bob does!

Here's an example of a brilliant movie that Bob never understood, The Dark Knight:

The videomaker simply "gets" why this movie is special even by non-Superhero movies standards, while Bob focussed so hard on the movie's Bush-era overtones, among other bullshit arguments about dude bros liking the Nolan trilogy.

Leon from Renegade Cut doesn't think highly of The Dark Knight for similar reasons(same guy who made a video about La La Land being about white privilege https://youtu.be/Dc94N-vQhSw )

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Christ alive, what a fucking asshole.

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

Bob could die of a heart attack tomorrow and there would be hundreds of people rushing to fill the void his morbidly-obese ass left. Given how his idea of intellectual discourse is repeating postmodern jargon, a goddamn parakeet could do his job!

And I bet Bob is even likelier to pick a fight with himself in a mirror.
