This is Bob's problem (with his vidja game/movie/TV critique style) in a nutshell: Somewhere, someone, maybe in his Film Classes, or wherever, taught him that pitches are "This one thing plus this other thing equals what type of thing I want to make" (in an effort to get execs to bite on something purported as a fusion between two -or more- already successful properties) and has basically turned his entire schtick into "This movie I'm reviewing [was probably pitched as] is this one thing plus this other thing" in an attempt to make himself look smrt and cultured for presumably having seen both of those things. The thing is, it wouldn't be so bad if he were accurate in these proclamations of story fusion, but from what I'm hearing about some of this stuff (and even some of the stuff I know about already), Bob's takes on what plus what equals what are laughable and prove, for all time, that Bob understands NOTHING - even if he saw the one thing and the other thing plus the thing they supposedly fuse into, he proves he never understood any of it. And that's not even taking into account all the times he Wiki'ed one or more of the things and pretended he watched/understood it.My point exactly. Mister "urban coastal elite" flaunting his vast worldly knowlege but he can only express his ideas through marketed and pre-approved concepts. This is not a well read mind. It reminds me of Razorfist when he said that Metal Gear Solid was inspired by Blade Runner. Or that every game since 2012 were somehow plagiarizing Deus Ex (the new one, can't remember the name). It's someone with a limited palate trying their damnest to explain concepts using the wrong literary tools. And the worst part is that you can see it bright as day. Bob is not trying to be a funny, "lol look how dumb I am", he is telling you the audience how he perceives the world from his very narrow and limited idea pool.
I'm betting long money that if he encountered the idea of the Russian Soul, he would try to explain it using white nationalism. That's what makes me MATI, how unashamed he is at taking a huge shit in front of everyone and leaving his feces stained trousers for all to see.
I only felt this shame once, when I was 11 and felt smug and superior when readin an essay in class saying, "The dictinoary defines....".
I got told by my teacher so hard I still remember the dread I felt the next few months in class.
And on top of that, Bob most certainly got told by his teachers a million times from elementary school on up, but since he has a problem with authority, he never listened because Bob Knows Best, even at fucking age 7.
