Who had a worse fall from grace, and how can they recover?

James. Because he had the money to create something truly special. But he wasted it all on 'muh filming in Hollywood like a real filmmaker'.
Angel Hughes
uh i'm gonna say the dude on the left because i've seen his face posted before and it makes me angry

AVGN is a character, Mike isn't. Unless he's a method actor.
Sebastian Ward
>Mike isn't
Only in the sense that he's using his real name. He clearly has an on camera persona that he plays up.
Jaxson Nelson
Mike has aged more gracefully and still has his moments here and there.
Leo Brooks
>Mike has aged more gracefully
In what world is being a burned-out alcoholic aging gracefully?
Jaxson Myers
There's a tragic beauty in what Mike has become.
Brayden Campbell
James also has his moments, his Dracula show-off was as nice.
Carter Nelson
His "on camera persona" has been consistent in the last 10 years. Last 15 years if you go back to the making of his first movie.
Austin Rogers

I only watch RLM for Mike. He's chill and funny and comes off as very real. Jay is a soiboy, and Rich is a WELL ACCCKKKSHYUAALLLYYY fedora tipping atheist mutant
Robert Lewis
Left: misogynistic manbaby who refused to watch the Ghostbusters remake because FEEEEEMALES IN MUH 80s NOSTALGIA REEEE
right: the most conservative (by extension, racist) redlettermedia cast member
fuck them both.
Julian Evans
>Mike
>conservative
He seems like more of a "radical centrist" if anything, given his past defense of diversity and homosexuality.
Connor Stewart
Sucking at acting isn't an on camera persona.
Ryan Diaz
>radical centrist
Someone post his literally racist comics.
Nathaniel Bennett
You're thinking of Mike Mattei. Mike Stoklassa is just your average jaded Gen Xer who will express mild skepticism of the popular narrative but ultimately bow to it just to get along. For another example, see Trey Parker.
Mason Cox
are you calling furry freak brothers and r crumb a LITERAL racist now to? the internet was a mistake
Nolan Kelly
Jordan Bennett
Mike literally demanded interracial gay sex in The Force Awakens.
Thomas Mitchell
Half in the Bag is a scripted comedy show, and Mike and Jay are playing characters. They're not reviewers and they don't review movies, they just riff on them. This should be absolutely obvious.
Evan Hernandez
Maxorah
Ian Peterson
Heh.
Isaac Green
>scripted
it's ad lib conversation edited together into something coherent in post, with some dumb skits at the beginning and end.
if you don't think talking about a movie for 20 minutes and then either recommending it or not recommending it counts as "reviewing", idk what to tell you
Brandon Campbell
What a fag you are. I hope you get killed today
Camden Williams
Benjamin Peterson
That doesn't disprove his racist comics user.
Chase Price
in 2019 Gilbert Shelton would be a literal racist according to this user.
what a time to be alive.

Will you say Mike killing himself was also part of the character once he finds the courage to suicide?
Daniel Hughes
DA BLESS-ING!!!!

Jace Allen
Not gonna lie I would get on my knees for Mike's massive dick
Nathan Morales
His on camera persona is an exaggerated version of himself, so yes those old clips bear a similarity
Brandon Parker
Why do retard neets here pretend like either have "fallen" when their videos get more views than ever?
Nathan Perez
Probably jealous losers with small yt channels that with they were them
Jackson Baker
The Simpsons and Family Guy are watched by millions. Are they at their peak?
Kayden Young
>ur just jealous
Benjamin Nguyen
Doesnt matter if people are still watching. They already won. Extra episodes are just additional revenue.
Kevin Taylor
>Creative stagnation can't come after popularity
Also, Plinkett and Nerd videos aren't as good or popular as they used to be
Justin Diaz
Stoklasa is a hack fraud.
James is a beta loser.
Ryan is an entrepreneur and alpha.
Christopher Lee

AVGN fell harder considering he isn't even in charge of his content anymore. He's a slave to those fat fucks. RLM is free to be as lazy as fuck with their content output.
