Because they're on Yea Forums.
Two Best Friends was the exact same way. None of them knew jackshit about DC and Pat always went on these fucking tirades about Green Lantern that you can tell he just got from some silver age comic panels
youtube.com
Actual footage.
>thinks 1996-2001 is the dark age of film
Honest confession, I still tune in for his Disneycember vids, even if his opinions can get pretty shit at times. It's like a weird holiday tradition at this point.
Is there more?
Got to break out of your comfort zones, if you don't want to stagnate.
Or Game Grumps where Aaron claims how much better Miles is than Peter.
Also Pat even dissed Bullseye as lame dispute loving the Punisher.
Anyone who seriously goes to Youtube for comics discussion or reviews likely knows even less than that cunt
>how much better Miles is than Peter.
like Rich Evans?
fpbp
Because these people think they can supplement comic book knowledge by watching the movies/cartoon/wiki acticles/comic book youtubers.
Nostalgiaman is the best superhero though
Didn't he at least watch the x-men cartoon?
>Game Grumps where Aaron claims how much better Miles is than Peter.
I think I remember this. He praises Miles and says it was the only comic he read and enjoyed in years, but is incapable of describing Miles as anything more than "likeable" and admits in the same sentence that he hasn't kept up with it nor is he interested in buying anymore comics.
MELVIN MELVIN BROTHER OF THE JOKER
FPBP, thread should've ended there.
I could ask you the same, sweet cheeks!
God, he doesn't even know that Rogue started X-Men as a teenager...
>Tom King makes Melvin brother of the joker canon
Crazy how Doug is actually able to get high profile people sometimes. Like how he dragged out Don Bluth's corpse for that one video.
Two Best Friends fucking pisses me off with their "comic book knowledge." Their whole Injustice playthroughs were just hard to sit through.
>knows about comic books
>acts like a retard anyway
why does Yea Forums do this?
I didn't mind Pat so much because he admits he doesn't know what he's talking about and only says shit to upset fans.
But Matt is a legitimately unintelligent and ignorant person. Hearing him talk about anything is a chore.
Glad I'm not the only one that thought that was horse manure. When I worked as an usher for a movie theater there was a high school coworker that believed him on that.
Man, that was one particularly obnoxious video. I loved when he acted like the MCU movies are somehow super faithful and not ashamed of their source material because of the extremely tired Rocket Raccoon excuse.
That must be why the Infinity War poster he showed in the video has literally no masked characters whatsoever, even fucking Spider-Man who is arguably more recognizable for his mask than the spider on his chest.
Part of me feels he's the main reason they broke up desu. Gives off this smarmy, spiteful feeling off him for a bit. Though I do enjoy his Edgelord videos
Definitely was. Most of the funkiness around scheduling the LP recording and the "we have to stay on-topic and finish on-time" feeling of the podcast has completely evaporated without him in the picture. The breakup happened when they were supposed to be recording FNF Smash, so I've no doubt it was because of him having a massive furbaby tantrum. Woolie, Pat and the CSB are so chill and productive now.
Oh look, a bald guy with a goatee. How refreshingly original
My brother watches summarizations of comic events because he doesn’t want to read the actual comics.
It fucking baffles me.
youtube.com
I'm watching this. So far half of it is whining that Rogue is not like TAS Rogue and more like TAS Jubilee.
Looks like all their knowledge about the source material is TAS. Kinda sad.
TBF many of the big Let's Players aren't comic fans and just bring up what little they know about comics when playing something related to it just to show the audience that they are kinda familiar with it.
To be fair, Movie Rogue isn't anything like any Rogue, especially considering that movie came out in 2000. And considering at that time the 90s version of her in the comics, cartoon and Marvel vs. Capcom was the popular version of her, it's actually a legit thing to complain about than just "MUH NOSTALGIA"
WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE VEGAS
Well then I have good news!
You know, it says something when Matt and Woolie were the original friends, and Pat was this weirdo Matt happened to have good chemistry with, but after the breakup, Woolie went off with Pat to continue working. There's... something to that.
Pat went out of his way to read All Star and still hates Supes so I guess he's just doing this out of spite, I wish they stuck around but just kicked out Matt
There is no "dark age of film" at all and anyone who thinks so is a whiny little pissbaby like Doug
I'm impressed that the podcasts actually managed to get worst with no Matt. You got your monkey's paw wish, Yea Forums.
WHO CARES FOR COMICS?
actual comics?
lets face the truth, comics are like books on modern social midia, only a minority read it.
and comics are a mess, how is suppose to a normal person that knows nothing about comics to start to read comics this days?
you want to read Spiderman? OK, but them you find out that the actual Spiderman universe is all fucked up because of some crysis , and them you see yourself forced to read a lot of shit you may not like it to understand the actual Spiderman universe situation.
>Reviews Aladdin: This looks like Vegas, which like the the idea its Vegas, and no one has done before!
>Reviews Hercules : It looks like Vegas, why does this look like Vegas? That has to be the stupidest idea ever to bring to the Greek universe... but why the rfuck did it have to be a Vegas vibe?
What did he mean by this?
It's obvious Rich has only read a few Batman and Spider-Man comics and that's it >He says "Aquaman is lame" and yet doesn't know who Black Manta is
>implying it got worse.
Any of their long tangents STILL are way more interesting than "Let me tell you about the 1837373849th shitty Netflix movie I watched with my fat wife for five hours".
That's what you get for watching this faggot and his videos full of fucking 2013 redditor tier humour
Yes, he watched most Marvel/DC movies, most 90s cartoons (X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman, etc), Teen Titans and Teen Titans GO!
What video is thsi referring to?
The only comics youtuber who isn't a complete retard is Strip Panel Naked
youtube.com
all of his videos are about how comics use Art to tell a story and guide the reader.
Anyone that thinks they "know anything about comics" is lying to themselves unless they've literally read at least 15,000 individual issues, and that's Marvel 616 only.
Truth is, no one really knows about comics. It's like the economy, or female oral sex.
Well, Bluth was schilling his kickstarter for Dragon's Lair and in they were schilling their book.
>WHO CARES FOR COMICS?
I don't know, maybe the Comics & Cartoons board where this thread was made.
D'oh.
His latest review of the first X-Men movie. The entire schtick of the video is that Doug keeps pointing out that the movie isn't accurate to the comics while getting shit from the comics wrong himself because he's an obvious poser, while pretending current capeshit movies (read: MCU movies, because those are the ones he likes to shill) are super accurate these days
Interestingly enough Mike seems to be a comicfag. He explained Alpha Flight, of all things, to Jay once in a video.
gotta get those brownie points in, apparently.
Between #MeToo, overreliance on nostalgia with a new remake every other month, rising marketing costs causing a growing divide between box office earnings of blockbusters and smaller movies, general lowering of standards, the movie-going experience slowly becoming less and less relevant with the advent of Netflix and all the other shit, I'd say the present is the closest thing we've got to a dark age of Hollywood. But that's for future movie historians to decide.
THIS
I think I finally dropped NC after his review of that one CGI TMNT movie from way back.
I won't deny that the movie had problems, but most of his "critique" centered around NOT MUH!
He probably only knows them because of the 90s cartoon like with Apocalypse
I thought CA was dead after the mass exodus
I remember in his dumbest Spider-Man moments video he complained about Goblin throwing MJ off the bridge instead of Gwen and yet thought John Jameson should've became Venom
I think it took a hit? I don't really follow these things.
What are some specific shit he got wrong?
>Aaron claims how much better Miles is than Peter
Can someone link me the video where he does? This sounds hilarious.
because having dorky street cred is cool now. My local store as an entire section split off just for nerdy merch for comics and video games.
It got attention for a bit but they basically just kept going and it doesn't look like anything changed. Their subscribers stayed over 1M and there aren't mass dislikes on their videos like what usually happens in these cases so I think nobody cared really.
Well, for starters he bitches about them getting Rogue wrong, which is true, but acts like she was always an adult woman with a strong, carefree personality, and that her flying brick powers were always hers and not, you know, fucking taken from Ms. Marvel. He also implied Mystique was Rogue's biological mom in the comics, instead of just the woman who raised her.
There's a bunch of other shit but I don't want to bother remembering it.
BLACK GUY
WOMAN
GET IN HERE
Am I not comic enough for the comic club?
Well, Arin also knows jack shit about playing video games, yet talks like he knows what he is doing.
e-celeb threads are cancer and against >>>/global/rules/11 and >>>Yea Forumsrules/1
OP is a faggot.
Do your part to help purge this board of subhumans like him by reporting this thread.
Here's a link so you don't have to scroll up to the top of the page.
sys.4channel.org
and he's almost canadian.
This will never not be funny to me, and I didn't even watch the post-Demo Reel era of NC.
>"The Mandarin used to be an alien."
Come on, man...
How the fuck do you make that mistake
Aw did the little DKek get triggered by the mean old youtuber?
cringe
>be user
>spoonfeed people who don't read comics
>get mad when those people shit up comic threads
Why does Yea Forums do this?
I NOTICED AN IRREGULARITY
PUT ON THE SUIT SO I CAN LIPSYNC YOU
Everybody left Channel Awesome except for the Nostalgia Critic, Brad Jones, and Guru Larry. NC obviously can't leave, and Brad and Larry are pretty much there for a laugh cause they don't give a fuck.
Why the fuck would anyone think that Doug would know anything about comics when his former comics “expert” barely knows anything about comics?
God, remember Linkara going "WHO THE HELL IS ANGEL AND WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT SOME Z LISTER X MAN BEING DEAD"
It's pretty much just Doug and his sidekicks, Cinema Snob, and Guru Larry (who has outright said he's only still around because he thinks it would be funny if he ends up the last person left on the site).
"There are no bad episodes of Gravity Falls." - Actual quote from Doug Walker
Brad isn't there "for a laugh", he became one of Doug's sycophants.
I mean he's not there for a laugh like Larry is but I feel like he just doesn't care enough to leave
I'd say 1999 was one of the best years for film. Lot of my favorites are from that year.
My coworker is like this. Dude claims to read comics and likes superheroes but constantly gets basic stuff about them wrong and also does not give on iota of a fuck about writers, artists, or creative teams in general because "lol who cares?".
It's actually pretty rare to meet people who are actually into comics.
Fuck it: I love Phantom Menace. As a kid, I loved the prequels. In my late teens, I decided I was cool so I "hated" them. Looking back, though, Attack of the Clones is largely unenjoyable. Revenge of the Sith was always the most respected of the prequels, and I understand the sentiment.
But for every goofy stupid fuck up it made, Phantom Menace still has this heart to it that I can never bring myself to hate. I think all the practical sets and props helped. For a film from 1999, a lot of the effects hold up surprisingly well. I sincerely think Qui Gonn and Obi Wan's rampage through the TF ship in the beginning is one of the best scenes in the franchise. Only gigantic faggots claim to hate the podracing scene.
Oh shit, it's 20 years old now. It's almost as old as A New Hope was when Phantom Menace was new.
the opposite also horrible
>have autism-grade level knowledge of whatever
>afraid of looking like a big fucking nerd so you pretend to not know a lot so you pepper your phrasing with "or whatever", "or something", "or I dunno" at the end of your sentences
I don't do this shit but I've seen it way too much
Jay from RLM does this shit all the time
That is literally me.
Does Doug actually pretend though? I remember his Raimy trilogy video, and he downright admitted he hasn't read much Spider-Man comics as a child, he only read the issues with Venom.
>Film based on ancient Greece
>It looks like Vegas
Personally I ascribe to Mike's philosophy of dunking on everyone with your knowledge of pointless nerd shit
This is mostly a self-defense mechanism. When you hang out enough with normies you realize that majority of them don't give a shit about your interests. It hurts to be told that because it's basically rejection, so you just learn to pretend you don't care. Because there's no point in wasting energy with certain type of people.
Doug is actually a moron that misinterprets everything
Which is something that all these CA faggots do that's irritating which is
>if I misunderstood this thing in this piece of media it's the piece of media's fault
>Shut up Jay you fucking nerd, now here's a thing that reminded me of a specific detail from a Star Trek episode
Can we just start a This Is How You Don't Review video series on Doug just like DSP got a bunch of This Is How You Don't Play videos on him?
I'm pretty sure that user was talking about Pat. Who, despite being entertaining, seems like a complete dick.
>BUILD THAT WALL
I cant believe he screeched that
