I remember blind wave shitting all over star wars theory's vader fan film and didnt even make any good criticism, just insults and saying they could do better for 10k. They have some superiority complexes.
@@thunderlighting2006 Seriously, it was horrendous to watch. I think one of them liked it but stayed quiet after getting the death stare by Eric, the fat neckbeard in this video.
Oh, yeah. I wasn't a big fan but I used to watch some of their stuff and it was mainly the bigger guy (Eric) who was critical. He used to go on about entering in lightsaber battle contests and seemed to think he was the barometer lol.
It's the issue currently messing up star wars fans because you have these shills who are all about "muh positivity" and accepting of everything g and the rest of are critical of what we're getting.
Dawg, we're talking about the most chillest people on TH-cam. It's like a group of hardcore gamers shit on people like Jacksepticeye or Markiplier because they're not serious when playing the game.
Vinland Saga deserve to get Farm ark tier at the bottom of hell. First season is excellent, but author got brain damage and decided that Viking age is the place to have pacifistic protagonist with modern life views of Japanese soy herbivores.
@@dimas3829 wow it's almost as if having a protagonist hold starkly different principles to the other people occupying that world creates interesting challenges and tension as well as compelling motivations for the protagonist. I wonder why on earth an author would want to achieve that 🤔
@@harveybaldry1969 as Mauler once said "taking a dump off a cliff would be challenging, doesn't mean you need to do that". There is no compelling motivation for protagonist here, only his baseless delusions. In comparison, Tv-series Vikings handled the issue leagues better with indoctrinating towards both sides - in example of captured christian monk learning the pagan ways and his viking capturer, that curiously studied the christian ways (and NEITHER was shown as superior). Both were originally paragons of their cultural religion, both changed and it happened from the 1st season onwards, not wasting our time like Vinland Saga did. You just can't dedicate one season to compelling revenge story full of epic battles and then throw a towel and turn it into soy-boy farm. Turning the story on 180 degrees is never good cause audience wasn't hooked for that crap.
Worse thing Eric ever said was those those who dislike the Sequels just don't understand Disney's vision. They had no vision, though Eric would know that if he bothered to look beyond just consuming product. Though he won't, fan projects and production specials make him angry for some reason, like his immersion is in danger, lol.
I agree 100%, people need to watch Erics old reaction to theory's fan film and then something like the acolyte or the last jedi to see the difference in his attitude. He is super nitpicky towards lower budget fan projects which is completely fine, but then when it's Disneys starwars media all of a sudden there's all of this leeway.
@@mrme4329 Same thing happened with that fan animation of Anakin vs Obi-Wan, as the creator spent 3 years making it to look as close as possible to a Clone Wars episode as can be, and Eric was annoyed about the similarities to the movie and it not being as high budget as official episodes... bruh. When Bad Batch returned, he was suddenly smug about it looking better than 'something else'.
Because he knows REAL fans of Star Wars produce better content than Disney could ever dream. And he sees that as a threat to his precious mega corporation.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 If he was the super fan he claims he'd have been mad that the Bad Batch caused a canon issue because the events contradict Kanan's comic. In Disney's TCW season 7 they also gave Ahsoka blue lightsabers without an explanation of how that is possible and causing another continuity issue since the Ahsoka book that continues her story had her bury her lightsabers and she mentions they are green. When they first reset the lore I thought at least Disney can take care to have no contradictions in the canon. They clearly don't care though. They just like Filoni alter his own work willy nilly.
I used to watch Blind Wave all the time, but it became clear that as long as it was "officially" Star Wars because of a license holder making it, that they will praise it eternally. Erik saying he preferred the Last Jedi Like because it was the real Luke was the last straw for me.
He isn't wrong though. Fans love the fanfic Luke over the realistic Luke. Luke wasn't some super powerful Jedi and only beat the empire because he didn't follow the path of a Jedi. I don't like modern Star Wars but alot of old fans have weird opinions of Luke
@@CC-of5xlwhat the fuck are you talking about? Luke “beats” Palpatine BECAUSE he followed the path of a true Jedi by not killing Vader. He literally even said it with “I’m a Jedi like my father before”. Killing Vader only came from Obi Wan and Yoda’s opinion not because it’s the Jedi way.
@@vashythewabbit8288 the Jedi don't believe in attachments him leaving his training early to save his friends and than redeeming his father through love are both something the Jedi would have and did try pushing him away from. The Prequels change the context for what the Jedi were and their role in the fall of the Republic you can't just ignore that part of the story lol
@@kenkaneki3873 yeah he had alot of stiff competition of literally nobody for that role lol. Nothing in legends matters either all that truly matters is what Lucas wrote and the Prequels show how little power Luke actually had and that the whole point is that power isn't the answer. His father was the most powerful Jedi ever and the Jedi were at their peak yet they all failed.
As a Blind Wave fan I avoid watching their stuff when related to content I dislike like Acolyte because i know they wont criticize it, at most certain members might not continue with reactions if they dislike a show
Same. I practically never watch their Star Wars stuff because I know exactly what I'm going to get. I think it's gotten a lot worse over the years aswell. I only watch the reactions that I like now.
Them only reacting to one episode of Naruto a week is crazy too. Tons of people have wanted them to react to One Piece for years, which would easily get their channel to a million subs, but if they can’t do more than one episode a week, then just forget it.
@@SecondBreakfastAndThreeH-zo3jpThey've explained why they only do one episode a week. They want to simulate what it felt like when the show was still airing weekly. They even recently said that they just straight up wouldn't be as invested as they currently are if they binged it.
Which is a weak excuse by them. One Piece, Naruto, and DBZ are 100% more enjoyable if you binge them. They’ve been pretty lukewarm towards Naruto in general, mostly because they aren’t binge watching it. They’re basically the only reaction channel doing one episode a week. New reactors are falling in love with One Piece, Naruto, and DBZ because they are binging them. It would take them years just to get to Enies Lobby. They watch one episode of Naruto while watching like over 10 other shows during the week. That kills the investment, rhythm, emotion, and impact of the anime.
Blind Wave are very obviously compromised when it comes to Star Wars. I remember Eric voicing displeasure over Ragnar’s drug addiction in Vikings, which in my experience is pretty rare for any of them to do, yet he eats up all the Disney slop including the egregious character assassination of Luke and Obi Wan. They are a good reaction channel though.
Yeah I also remember Eric saying in his Lucifer reactions that characters not talking to each other about things they should do just for the sake of plot is an ick for him yet when the acolyte released and these issues were very apparent in this show it suddenly wasn’t a problem for him.
Yeah, I also remember when they didn’t waste viewers time doing Taylor Swift reactions. I don’t even watch blind wave anymore because of all their nonsense. They’re legitimately shills.
@@C-Russdon't think they are Eric is just dense about star wars He would love star wars even if was made by daily wire I remember 5-6 years ago him saying star wars is like family to him Some of the members might be assholes but you still love them
I think to be a fan, you need to be prepared to call out the bad aspects of whatever story, franchise or whatever you love. Now this mindset is important because otherwise future or current creators of your beloved IP are going to make the same mistakes again and again and never once improve because they don't see a need to. That's why we are in such a mess because positive reinforcement can be just as destructive. Telling someone that the burned cake they've made is amazing and perfect is not doing them any favours. Yes, you should praise where a creator or whomever has done something good but it has to be earned. Learning to take criticism is a fundamental aspect of any creator's life, if you can't handle that than you're not cut out to be a creator. Criticism is an important part for self improvement, people aren't being mean to you. They're trying to help you but some creators have been so positively reinforced or stuck in a bubble that they delude themselves into thinking there's nothing wrong and than they take it as an attack. No-one is attacking you when they criticise you. Someone criticising what you love also isn't a personal attack. Now obviously any criticism or argument that is disingenuous or just factually wrong should be called out but having different opinions is good for any fanbase. Discussions are important.
Which is why Efap, FNT, Open Bar and such exist. Yeah there's a lot they'll agree on but they do have things they disagree on. Like Deadpool Wolverine movie or TLOU series.
@@ArcticWolf00Alpha0 Blind wave, they made reaction video to Vader shards of the past, the fat one with glasses was an asswipe, very jealous of Theory’s work
I used to like Blind Wave but after seeing them like everything about Disney Star Wars then they lost Star Wars card and became Disney Star Wars shills.
@@jacksonperez5615 It's no surprise that they were gunning hard for 1 million subs 2 years ago (?) and aren't even now close to that. The crew getting smaller says enough.
They lost me with got season 8. That was when I realized they refused to critizice some things. Sure try to be positive but don't praise obvious shit jut to praise it. You are allowed to not like something.
I used to like them about 10 years ago then I made a comment on a video they had and all I said was it's ok to have criticism about shows that are bad and not defend them. Blind waves blind fans attacked me and said unsubsribe... so I did and after watching this I'm glad I did. Blind wave has only gotten worse.
Lol i got banned from the blind wave sub because i criticized how they never reallt critique anything and how they just always day what their audience wants to hear or try to say the right things. I was a longtime fan but after that i havent watched them its just ridiculous.
@@Retsea "Someone Hounding you over you OPINION?" Now I'd love to ssee what you think about the recent SWT/G&G/RKOutpost/Nerdrotic situation where Twitter/X have admitted to mass false flags/co-ordinated attacks the Death threats/hounding of those who don't like a series. That has since added in Efap/CD and anyone who dares to speak out against Disney SW. That is ACTUAL hounding. Not someone calling you out because you won't/dare not criticise anything in case your Disney Overlords stop your access.
@Retseadog If you like everything, you have no opinion. Opinion implies thinking, blind wave is entirely against thinking instead of just "like and consume."
@@evosquest1 I don’t know what SWT/RKOtpost or whatever you’re talking about is. I don’t care enough. Y’all scavenge the internet crying and moaning about star wars content, I think it’s pathetic and funny, it’s pretty simple.
I remember watching them years ago when they reacted to Team Four Star. At first I thought the whole group reaction was unique. But then I came across them reacting to Crisis on Infinite Earths,Game of Thrones, Disney Star Wars and more. No matter the quality. No matter the general mindset. Blind Wave had the exact. Same. Reaction. To everything. It’s as if they’re not allowed to think on set. This is funnily enough the most tone deaf I’ve heard Eric and it’s quite telling of Blind Waves “integrity”.
I used to watch a similar react show, and I think they do it to kiss up to the entertainment industry for future careers. At least in the case of my channel it seemed so.
Oh god, Crisis on Infinite Earth's. I saw Efaps reaction to it (because Kate Kane was in it and they're big fans of batwahman) and my god, it was so bad. It's fun to watch them go through it though.
Man, another BIG fumble with blind wave was their sword art online abridged reaction, where half of them hadn't seen/remember much of the original, the other half have seen it and one of the guys loving the original and disliked the way abridged (I guess in his eyes) disrespected it. The level of cope was insane.
I'm a big React stan, and Blind Wave are the most boring, non-critical, simple-minded react group on youtube by a mile. Their 'discussions' are mind numbing and they constantly misunderstand the simplest shit in cartoons literally made for children.
I use to be a big fan of Blind Wave and to some extent I still watch a video or 2 from them, BUT there’s a reason why I stay away from any of their content involving Star Wars or Disney related because they don’t even bother hiding the shilling anymore. The fact they can put things like Ashoka and Kenobi in the A tier of shows they watched is unbelievable
Or their reactions to season 8 of got because the shit tgey praised about it felt so hollow because you could see a few didn't like it that much but they still overal praised it a lot despite all the nonsense.
Yeah the SAO Abridged thing was the first time I raised my eyebrows at them and then as time went on their overall reactions just got much iffy. Glad I stopped watching them a WHILE ago except sometimes to laugh at them for coping with the CW DC shows lmao
he said critics are like Luke bringing their weapons into the cave, but our "weapons" are our eyes and mind, and we need those to view and process the movies/shows. We CAN'T go in without them.
I disagree with Eric but thats not what he ment... he is saying your eyes and mind are like weapons ready to shoot/hate before even watching the movies/shows
Blind Wave, love 'em or hate 'em, is the quintessential postive only reaction channel. It doesn't matter what is happening on screen, if the brand is large enough then they _must_ respond in a positive manner. They only respond in a critical manner to smaller run shows or more singular series. Disney Star Wars, Disney Marvel, HBO, WB's DC line, and others like these are brands that Blind Wave cannot speak against. Personally, I think they're bought. Something I wish to mention but only briefly. Eric's odd view on 'no hate' is directly against how he handles politics within his own country. He metaphorically is armed as soon as the subject comes up which on their _entertainment_ channel comes up weirdly often. I recall being so thankful and supporting of MauLer's decision to place Blind Wave & others reactions to, I think it was, the CW. I felt vindicated because I too had started to notice that a channel I generally enjoyed was little more than a surface level audience, something I am not. I hardly enjoy most new media which is why I watch EFAP and others like them in the first place; to find more engaging content. Thank you again for bringing this up.
@@Evandrocampos-e1x Naruto's brand is too small or too old to apply. And yes, despite writing everything down, they miss so many really obvious things...
@@Evandrocampos-e1x They are pretty trash at anime reactions in general. Dont think there has ever been an anime reaction series from them that is anything but surface level and even THEN they get shit wrong despite WRITING it all down. Like its genuinely baffling and part of the reason why I dropped that channel so quickly lol.
Let’s not forget that The Phantom Menace Visual Dictionary from Eyewitness, not only does it talk about Ki-adi Mundi’s age but that he had just recently joined the Council prior to The Phantom Menace.
Really enjoy blind wave but when I saw their reaction to “rings of power” I lost it. Awful awful show and they’d praise it. Felt like we were watching two completely different shows. Same goes for the Disney Star Wars films.
RoP, the worst adaption of any product. And the most retarded and dumbest show to exist. That likes to portray evil as misunderstood, orcs that would torture, loot, murder and even rape, apparently have families and want to settle down to elect leaders (they Ceasared Sauron for Adar).
They can’t afford to criticize anything about Star Wars. They are getting paid by Disney and of course everything is great 10/10 best everything ever. It’s kinda sad how much their dignity is worth.
The real reason (I assume) Yoda said don't bring your weapons is because he wanted Luke to commune with the force and actually gain some cool progress in learning new powers and talk to the illusion so it would give insight to himself. instead he was so busy being ready to fight, all he caught was a glimmer of a bit of the knowledge he could gain. The face of his fears, was himself. which apparently somehow lead to him believing in his father. so who knows maybe that was meant to be despite not being the most lucrative path through the cave to gain power and knowledge. ( I say that because Luke has the power to see the future which is what sends him off to Bespin, so presumably he has other powers that may have unlocked, like insight into the nature of the force and insights that may have aided him in defeating the Emperor a different way.) or not
Stuff like this helps to sort out rectors. I like to watch people react to Baahubali, Fellowshp of teh Ring and Firefly... but if they like everything, what's the point? Which is why my favorite Firefly reaction is Mauler+Drinker.
Well, I used to enjoy their Brooklyn 99 reactions and some other reactions too. But, seeing their blind faith towards Disney star wars, I had no choice but to unsubscribe from their channel.
i used to watch a lot of nlind waves ractions to anime, i liked it. but damn... this reminded me why i stopped watching them, tho i know eric was ... particular... about SW
I used to be a big fan of Blind Wave back in the day but the way how they started being shills for anything Disney-related and among others, it got to a point where I couldn’t enjoy them or trust their opinions.
Have watched these Blind Wave fools more than I'd care to admit in public, and I always took their reactions as a "normie sample" in terms of attitudes and such. I enjoyed Eric's playthrough of Mass Effect, but it was apparent there as well. Devout followers of the postmodern Cult of Positivity. My own little normie control group.
I got recommended some of these guy's reactions to the Capaldi era of Doctor Who. I watched a few because I enjoy that era very much. But then I saw that they were just as positive about the Jodie era and current era, which made me question how genuine any of their "reactions" even are
@@yodaphobic96 there’s a certain crowd of people that have infected all media & entertainment with their identity politics. So,blind wave either supports these silly ideals (which is their right but people don’t have to like them for it) or they are just willing to look past it to make the buck. 🤷🏻♂️
There's a problem with reaction channels. The performative side to appease the audience. Can't appease everyone, but if you're always positive you get less flack. There is a rare occasion where the show is so good, like Arcane, that the audience and the reactors are on the same page. Then it's enjoyable to re-live the show through their eyes. But when it's monotone boring slop like Ahsoka, you see past the fake performance and then it's just over. Now you're looking at boogie2988 who's just sociopathically leeching off parasocial attention. Or worse, if they actually don't have the capacity to see Ahsoka for what it is, then it's just sad, because you realise the reactor has no standards and will clap for everything. And now the reaction is worth nothing.
I'm really glad that after concord the concept of toxic positivity is something the internet is discussing now. I remember back when the prequels came out that in the behind the scenes you could see how nervous people were around george Lucas and they all just kept saying it would be great, so this has been a problem for a long time now.
I like their reactions a lot when it comes to stand alone movies, they are somewhat entertaining and I thought their TFS coverage is pretty fun, but yeah...Star Wars seems to be a big turn off.
Is that what EFAP is doing now? Fueding with slop reaction channels? Fell off hard. Maybe if you lot werent lazy, uncritical shills youd produce better content.
You clearly didn't see the episode. They were just showing a video that was talking about stuff, and they were just going through it taking about the points they had. They aren't "feuding" or whatever. If anything it's the channels they react to that start shit. Ironic because they're the ones who started this "react to TH-camr" stuff when these guys mocked Star Wars Theory and his video about Star Wars.
Damn, I remember watching these guys once. I used to think they had spines. Haven't watched them for many many years now because they never criticized anything. It became hollow as fuck and pure boredom to watch.
EFAP do the same thing when it comes to stuff they like. Just look at their Last of Us Show reactions. They get really defensive when people criticize the show even tho there were a lot of things wrong with it. They overly praise it as well. When they like something everyone who hates it is wrong. When they hate something everyone who likes it is wrong. They also make sure they are lock step in that they all like or dislike something before sharing their thoughts on EFAP. We wouldn't want to have differing opinions that make us look like we don't know what we are talking about would we?
Oh nah Last Of Us is a good show brain farts like you legitimately went in wanting to hate it, your asinine complaints are the proof “wHy isNt 100% AccUraTE tO tHe vidaY gaMEz” “wHY thERE iSnT 10 millIoNZ oF ZomBieS aT anY giVeN tIMe”
That's a perfect point to make. I really like EFAP but I remember very well the infamous "Avatar: The lost airbender" discussion and their really dumb criticisms. And most recently the case with "The Haunting of Bly Manor" when they really got defensive when people brought up it sucked. Oh I forgot about the second season of "House of the Dragon" too.
I really like EFAP but you're completely right and I loathe and skip such moments. It doesn't happen often but when it does they throw criticism out the window and turn instead to insults which I particularly cannot stand for.
I see nothing wrong with liking stuff that others consider to be bad. However putting blinders on and acting like people who don’t like it are vile is incredibly dumb. Wish they would have just stayed quiet about it and not even talked about this stuff in the first place
i wonder if Shane left cause they told him to leave they were going to make fan videos and fans sent them and bought them things to do that and never did it i would want my money back
@@JeremyMccullar One of the main Discord mods admitted it about a year or two ago. They kept it quiet so that he could resign with some dignity, but after people started speculating too much the truth eventually had to be shared.
I’m glad the Blind Wave has fun with what they watch. I’ve watched their reactions. They seem a largely joyful lot. I don’t think they are shills. Not for Disney. Not directly anyway. I believe they like the pretty lights and the noises. They hold themselves to be something like Star Wars aficionados and herein lies the problem. They can’t tell you why something is shit because they engage with it on a surface level. They won’t and/or can’t competently critique DSW shows because of incompetence or unwillingness. And even that’s fine. It’s your bread and butter, you enjoy it, and don’t want to pick it apart? Fine. Have fun. It’s a shaky position that teeters treacherously close to being shills for your own benefit but hey...knock yourselves out. The problem comes when you launch disparaging accusations at people who actually engage in thoughtful critique of DSW shows. The issues are 3 fold: Firstly, you invite criticism of your motivations. You’re already on shaky ground because your lack of legit, insightful criticism makes you look either too incompetent to carry out such a task or as if you have chosen not to criticize because it fucks with your bottom line. So, you’re either well-meaning idiots or shilling for your own brand. And you just threw rocks at cats who will put all that on front street! Second, if the mental capacity for meaningful criticism is beyond you, unnecessarily insulting people who DO HAVE THAT CAPACITY is folly. Engaging in a war of wits entirely unarmed is, in and of itself, moronic. But Blind Wave has the dubious distinction of engaging in said war with a group that has the critical thinking equivalent of a vast nuclear arsenal, the patience and experience to surgically deploy it, and has given them the motivation to do so. Stacks of stupidity. Lastly, NONE OF THIS WAS NECESSARY. At least, not absolutely necessary. They could have sat over there looking ridiculous as they enjoyed vapid, soulless dribble and the status quo would have been maintained. Or would it have been? The Acolyte was the straw that broke the fandom's back. They've been bitching since TLJ but after Mando season 1 gave them hope and seeing Luke in season 2 made them cry, they've been sort of limping along, following DSW, hope in tow. The Acolyte changed that. The jig is up and the fandom is something like the children of Israel in the desert after 40 years of bullshit saying "God don't fucking care about us! Fuck it! We doing orgies and getting drunk, now!" I bet Blind Wave is feeling the heat off those drunken orgies(it's a clunky metaphor but...IDFC). The fandom is tired of the crap content, the forced diversity, being blamed for shows being trash, being called ists and phobes, and the shills. This is why the heat wave hit Blind Wave. The backlash for acting like this shit ain't ass must have been and must continue to be pretty substantial. Blind Wave, wanting to be taken seriously, wanted to strenghten their position by saying "We're positive guys, bro! We don't go in looking for flaws." (Even though, after every episode, they point out as many flaws as they can detect) Or maybe it was an ego thing. Maybe Blind Wave are upset about being called shills and they needed to vent on...somebody. Like their name suggests, that wave of ego forced them to blindly locate a target. In this case, it's guys who just want better fucking content for the fandom. HOW FUCKING DARE THEY!!!!
Can I just say, Wizards are not in star wars. Hear me out. Wizards can summon things, they can cast fireball. (generally. They can throw frost attacks, they can make water out of thin air, and they can make food. they can even transform people into animals sometimes and vice versa. The magic a wizard can perform is basically world editing magic in essence, to transform matter from one state to another in incredibly complex states. Star Wars, The Force, is a living entity people communicate with to achieve things. Most of the powers the force that people or aliens, are allowed to access are very limited. The power of telekenises in appearence, moving things around by manipulating gravity in essence, even force choke. However Illusions to affect someone's mind directly can be done, or to communicate with them. But beyond that, the force enhances biology, it does not generally transform biology. It does not generally create new biology, in a way that a force user can achieve, though the force itself MAY be able to create life and do all sorts of things, it does not seemingly allow others to do this through it, though there is arguably the occasion of Anakin to show that the force will throw a furious rejection against anyone that tries to FORCE the force, to do anything it does not seemingly want to do. The Darkside is corrosive and corruptive, not something the living force likes, and is basically proof that the force powers are limited, because the darkside is so corruptive and the things you can do with it are destructive, and seem to bespeak of the destructive half of the powers, the light side is the healing/life bearing half of the powers. There are very tight rules around how the force is used, and it is closer to a set of powers of the mind granted to those who communicate with the force, it is not like a wizard who is his own power source and can do whatever he wants without limits. The force has limits. and that is the key point. The force does not create wizards. Though pod racing is wizardin.
Nahhh blind wave is definitely way too forgiving of disney star wars but these dude just stoping and picking every 3 seconds and misinterpreting what is being said is nonsense
Except they'd see it, no? They aren't blind. I'd expect them to manoeuvre if they saw something fall from a ship. It wouldn't even have to be bombs, debris would be enough to damage or even destroy a TIE fighter so of course they'd manoeuvre away.
Yeah blind wave really needs to stick to their own area there are entire career more channel most likely was made by little kids watching their reaction to their favorites videos.
EFAP just got too echo chambery. They, ironically, became a circle jerk. Any time a guest tries to play devil's advocate, mauler or fringy immediately jumps down their throat. And rags is just annoying 90% of the time with the occasional funny zing
I wonder if one of blindwaves fans came up to them and politely said hey i didnt like the acolyte much if they would start screaming trump supporter at them
I hope it's blind wave you are calling reactionary nimrods cus they are the ones bending over to Disney's sloppy shit lately, not EFAP. Are you insecure about people disliking the show you are shilling for, or?
Not a fan of current Star Wars but the idea of whole council of dudes pausing every few frames of what you say and picking it apart is lame as hell. How is this a watchable format?
Their entire platform is based on that very idea, and it's insufferable. It's like a self contained echo chamber. In general it's lame and despicable to hate on and laugh at other people for being passionate about something.
Because it takes true grit to sit down for five to seven hours and actually think and break down terrible writing…if you don’t like it go watch Pixar reaction videos in your pajamas
Except efap has liked plenty of things that are considered the other “side”. Arcane, tlous tv show, gow ragnorok(they even clowned on this right winger who hated it). If you’re talking specifically about Star Wars, then that’s because most of it genuinely bad. But they liked andor so how did that happen, they didn’t just blindly hate it did they?
@@nuttproductions461 they’re a bunch of slop obsessed losers. They care more about their slop being political than they care about the actual politics destroying the west.
I think you should look further into efap as a podcast. They very rarely take sides when it comes to media. They take the entertainment for what is and base it off of its own merits or demerits.
@@Taygon094 they arent reacting to disney, they’re reacting to 2 guys having a chill discussion about their star wars opinions, being pissy about disney star wars doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole
Disney Star Wars is terrible, is propped up online by transparent shills with no depth to their "love" of Star Wars and Disney loves attacking its fans. Pretty easy to see why people have no patience left
EFAP are probably nice guys, but they're content is largely toxic and seems motivated by their own political agendas, as anything and everything bad seems to be because of "the message" instead of, you know, incompetence and bad writing. For me NerdRotic and Critical will never be more than hatebait grifters. Mauler seems to be more authentic.
They literally talk about the writing all the time. You've either never watched them at all or are outright lying. Would love to know what "political agendas" the EFAP crew have because they make an effort to stay away from that stuff in their reviews. Also I'd tell you to prove that the people you say are "hatebait grifters" are that, but we both know you can't because both of them call out bad writing all the time and the shows that they hate earn that hate.
@@TylerJH So they have Nerdrotic and Drinker on? That's why they Rarely if ever mention politics in the sohw then eh? Oh and I menan there's HOURS of content btw. From the initial start they weren't political and unless I missed the show where they suddenly went 100% Drumpf (considering MauLer is Welsh/Jay is English/Fringy is Australian/Drinker is Scottish/The Little Platoon is English/Metal is German and at least 2 or more are bi or gay that kills your arguement but let's go with it just to stroke your fragile ego) how does that come into play on how they are tearing down a SCRIPT/Show? Did they suddenly only have guests that are Conservative or Strayt WHYTE Males (Fringy is black for example but let's not bother ourselves with minor details) and When did that happen? Libs have been on the show. Go back and you'll see plenty of times they were there. In fact mauLer has made a point of inviting them more than once. It's their CHOICE if they decide not go on not down to Efap refusing therm a chance to talk. So let's get that fact straight. Want to try again? maybe without Bidens Dik in your mouth?
Intersting you say Critcal is a haitbait grifter considering he's A fairly popular TH-camr who is also a published author with a film under his belt and has been on News channels and has been on TV more than once and plays a character on his channel to do Film reviews which he even admitted he did. "THE MESSAGE" phrase came from the constant barrage of slop we have been given with films/shows/games all pushing the Agenda that Whyte Man bad/all games/films/shows have to have DEI included in them and that also extends to the hiring practicises and that's just for a start. Want to argue against that happening? GO for it. As for Gary he doesn't release as many Videos as G&G and Ryan. Now had you mentioned those 2 you maybe could have had a point to your own hatred towards them. As it is Gary doesn't pretend he didn't like it when they changed this or that to appease shills. He didn't amd won't bend the knee to keep them off his back as it were and you are the perfect example of someone who has either NOT watched their content OR are going after them because they don't like a show you like Or hate them because they're popular. Probably all 3 and more. Whatever your reason show PROOF they are Hatebait Grifters. We know You can't/won't because all they have done is Criticise things that should be criticised. Maybe the only one hatebaiting is people like you who don't like the fact they air their views to make people aware of the shortcomings of the latest DEI mess that has been released,.
21:32 its the difference between tough love and unconditional love. People who are willing to look passed the numerous flaws littering a show and pretend they aren't there are practicing unconditional love, and want to essentially just give it a participation trophy, VS people who want their show to earn its accolades.
I remember blind wave shitting all over star wars theory's vader fan film and didnt even make any good criticism, just insults and saying they could do better for 10k. They have some superiority complexes.

@@harveybaldry1969 as Mauler once said "taking a dump off a cliff would be challenging, doesn't mean you need to do that".
There is no compelling motivation for protagonist here, only his baseless delusions.
In comparison, Tv-series Vikings handled the issue leagues better with indoctrinating towards both sides - in example of captured christian monk learning the pagan ways and his viking capturer, that curiously studied the christian ways (and NEITHER was shown as superior). Both were originally paragons of their cultural religion, both changed and it happened from the 1st season onwards, not wasting our time like Vinland Saga did.
You just can't dedicate one season to compelling revenge story full of epic battles and then throw a towel and turn it into soy-boy farm. Turning the story on 180 degrees is never good cause audience wasn't hooked for that crap.

Worse thing Eric ever said was those those who dislike the Sequels just don't understand Disney's vision.
They had no vision, though Eric would know that if he bothered to look beyond just consuming product. Though he won't, fan projects and production specials make him angry for some reason, like his immersion is in danger, lol.
I agree 100%, people need to watch Erics old reaction to theory's fan film and then something like the acolyte or the last jedi to see the difference in his attitude.
He is super nitpicky towards lower budget fan projects which is completely fine, but then when it's Disneys starwars media all of a sudden there's all of this leeway.
@@mrme4329 Same thing happened with that fan animation of Anakin vs Obi-Wan, as the creator spent 3 years making it to look as close as possible to a Clone Wars episode as can be, and Eric was annoyed about the similarities to the movie and it not being as high budget as official episodes... bruh.
When Bad Batch returned, he was suddenly smug about it looking better than 'something else'.
Because he knows REAL fans of Star Wars produce better content than Disney could ever dream. And he sees that as a threat to his precious mega corporation.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 If he was the super fan he claims he'd have been mad that the Bad Batch caused a canon issue because the events contradict Kanan's comic. In Disney's TCW season 7 they also gave Ahsoka blue lightsabers without an explanation of how that is possible and causing another continuity issue since the Ahsoka book that continues her story had her bury her lightsabers and she mentions they are green.
When they first reset the lore I thought at least Disney can take care to have no contradictions in the canon. They clearly don't care though. They just like Filoni alter his own work willy nilly.
Actually we do, it happens to be crap and gets worse!
I used to watch Blind Wave all the time, but it became clear that as long as it was "officially" Star Wars because of a license holder making it, that they will praise it eternally.
Erik saying he preferred the Last Jedi Like because it was the real Luke was the last straw for me.
He isn't wrong though. Fans love the fanfic Luke over the realistic Luke. Luke wasn't some super powerful Jedi and only beat the empire because he didn't follow the path of a Jedi. I don't like modern Star Wars but alot of old fans have weird opinions of Luke
@@CC-of5xlwhat the fuck are you talking about? Luke “beats” Palpatine BECAUSE he followed the path of a true Jedi by not killing Vader. He literally even said it with “I’m a Jedi like my father before”. Killing Vader only came from Obi Wan and Yoda’s opinion not because it’s the Jedi way.
@@CC-of5xlBut he WAS super powerful....he became the Grandmaster of his own order...
@@vashythewabbit8288 the Jedi don't believe in attachments him leaving his training early to save his friends and than redeeming his father through love are both something the Jedi would have and did try pushing him away from. The Prequels change the context for what the Jedi were and their role in the fall of the Republic you can't just ignore that part of the story lol
@@kenkaneki3873 yeah he had alot of stiff competition of literally nobody for that role lol. Nothing in legends matters either all that truly matters is what Lucas wrote and the Prequels show how little power Luke actually had and that the whole point is that power isn't the answer. His father was the most powerful Jedi ever and the Jedi were at their peak yet they all failed.
As a Blind Wave fan I avoid watching their stuff when related to content I dislike like Acolyte because i know they wont criticize it, at most certain members might not continue with reactions if they dislike a show
Same. I practically never watch their Star Wars stuff because I know exactly what I'm going to get. I think it's gotten a lot worse over the years aswell. I only watch the reactions that I like now.
@@snoshio6043 it's funny they will praise a show to no end and then when they do their tier lists they will put those same shows in D tier
Them only reacting to one episode of Naruto a week is crazy too. Tons of people have wanted them to react to One Piece for years, which would easily get their channel to a million subs, but if they can’t do more than one episode a week, then just forget it.
@@SecondBreakfastAndThreeH-zo3jpThey've explained why they only do one episode a week. They want to simulate what it felt like when the show was still airing weekly. They even recently said that they just straight up wouldn't be as invested as they currently are if they binged it.
Which is a weak excuse by them. One Piece, Naruto, and DBZ are 100% more enjoyable if you binge them. They’ve been pretty lukewarm towards Naruto in general, mostly because they aren’t binge watching it. They’re basically the only reaction channel doing one episode a week. New reactors are falling in love with One Piece, Naruto, and DBZ because they are binging them. It would take them years just to get to Enies Lobby. They watch one episode of Naruto while watching like over 10 other shows during the week. That kills the investment, rhythm, emotion, and impact of the anime.
Blind Wave are very obviously compromised when it comes to Star Wars. I remember Eric voicing displeasure over Ragnar’s drug addiction in Vikings, which in my experience is pretty rare for any of them to do, yet he eats up all the Disney slop including the egregious character assassination of Luke and Obi Wan. They are a good reaction channel though.
define good... because they seem like morons
Yeah I also remember Eric saying in his Lucifer reactions that characters not talking to each other about things they should do just for the sake of plot is an ick for him yet when the acolyte released and these issues were very apparent in this show it suddenly wasn’t a problem for him.
Yeah, I also remember when they didn’t waste viewers time doing Taylor Swift reactions. I don’t even watch blind wave anymore because of all their nonsense. They’re legitimately shills.
I don’t watch any of their Disney slop reactions but their always sunny ones are funny.
@@C-Russdon't think they are

Some of the members might be assholes but you still love them
I think to be a fan, you need to be prepared to call out the bad aspects of whatever story, franchise or whatever you love. Now this mindset is important because otherwise future or current creators of your beloved IP are going to make the same mistakes again and again and never once improve because they don't see a need to. That's why we are in such a mess because positive reinforcement can be just as destructive. Telling someone that the burned cake they've made is amazing and perfect is not doing them any favours. Yes, you should praise where a creator or whomever has done something good but it has to be earned. Learning to take criticism is a fundamental aspect of any creator's life, if you can't handle that than you're not cut out to be a creator. Criticism is an important part for self improvement, people aren't being mean to you. They're trying to help you but some creators have been so positively reinforced or stuck in a bubble that they delude themselves into thinking there's nothing wrong and than they take it as an attack. No-one is attacking you when they criticise you. Someone criticising what you love also isn't a personal attack. Now obviously any criticism or argument that is disingenuous or just factually wrong should be called out but having different opinions is good for any fanbase. Discussions are important.
Which is why Efap, FNT, Open Bar and such exist. Yeah there's a lot they'll agree on but they do have things they disagree on. Like Deadpool Wolverine movie or TLOU series.
I like blind wave when I comes to anything but Star Wars.

But then I came across them reacting to Crisis on Infinite Earths,Game of Thrones, Disney Star Wars and more. No matter the quality. No matter the general mindset. Blind Wave had the exact. Same. Reaction. To everything. It’s as if they’re not allowed to think on set. This is funnily enough the most tone deaf I’ve heard Eric and it’s quite telling of Blind Waves “integrity”.
I used to watch a similar react show, and I think they do it to kiss up to the entertainment industry for future careers. At least in the case of my channel it seemed so.
Eric and Shane were the only reasons why people watched the channel in the first place.
Oh god, Crisis on Infinite Earth's. I saw Efaps reaction to it (because Kate Kane was in it and they're big fans of batwahman) and my god, it was so bad. It's fun to watch them go through it though.
Man, another BIG fumble with blind wave was their sword art online abridged reaction, where half of them hadn't seen/remember much of the original, the other half have seen it and one of the guys loving the original and disliked the way abridged (I guess in his eyes) disrespected it.

Blind Wave, love 'em or hate 'em, is the quintessential postive only reaction channel. It doesn't matter what is happening on screen, if the brand is large enough then they _must_ respond in a positive manner. They only respond in a critical manner to smaller run shows or more singular series. Disney Star Wars, Disney Marvel, HBO, WB's DC line, and others like these are brands that Blind Wave cannot speak against. Personally, I think they're bought.
Something I wish to mention but only briefly. Eric's odd view on 'no hate' is directly against how he handles politics within his own country. He metaphorically is armed as soon as the subject comes up which on their _entertainment_ channel comes up weirdly often.
I recall being so thankful and supporting of MauLer's decision to place Blind Wave & others reactions to, I think it was, the CW. I felt vindicated because I too had started to notice that a channel I generally enjoyed was little more than a surface level audience, something I am not. I hardly enjoy most new media which is why I watch EFAP and others like them in the first place; to find more engaging content. Thank you again for bringing this up.

The real reason (I assume) Yoda said don't bring your weapons is because he wanted Luke to commune with the force and actually gain some cool progress in learning new powers and talk to the illusion so it would give insight to himself. instead he was so busy being ready to fight, all he caught was a glimmer of a bit of the knowledge he could gain. The face of his fears, was himself. which apparently somehow lead to him believing in his father. so who knows maybe that was meant to be despite not being the most lucrative path through the cave to gain power and knowledge.
( I say that because Luke has the power to see the future which is what sends him off to Bespin, so presumably he has other powers that may have unlocked, like insight into the nature of the force and insights that may have aided him in defeating the Emperor a different way.) or not

"The system"
There's a problem with reaction channels. The performative side to appease the audience. Can't appease everyone, but if you're always positive you get less flack.
There is a rare occasion where the show is so good, like Arcane, that the audience and the reactors are on the same page. Then it's enjoyable to re-live the show through their eyes.
But when it's monotone boring slop like Ahsoka, you see past the fake performance and then it's just over. Now you're looking at boogie2988 who's just sociopathically leeching off parasocial attention. Or worse, if they actually don't have the capacity to see Ahsoka for what it is, then it's just sad, because you realise the reactor has no standards and will clap for everything. And now the reaction is worth nothing.
I'm really glad that after concord the concept of toxic positivity is something the internet is discussing now.
I remember back when the prequels came out that in the behind the scenes you could see how nervous people were around george Lucas and they all just kept saying it would be great, so this has been a problem for a long time now.

EFAP do the same thing when it comes to stuff they like. Just look at their Last of Us Show reactions. They get really defensive when people criticize the show even tho there were a lot of things wrong with it. They overly praise it as well. When they like something everyone who hates it is wrong. When they hate something everyone who likes it is wrong. They also make sure they are lock step in that they all like or dislike something before sharing their thoughts on EFAP. We wouldn't want to have differing opinions that make us look like we don't know what we are talking about would we?

I’m glad the Blind Wave has fun with what they watch. I’ve watched their reactions. They seem a largely joyful lot. I don’t think they are shills. Not for Disney. Not directly anyway. I believe they like the pretty lights and the noises. They hold themselves to be something like Star Wars aficionados and herein lies the problem.
They can’t tell you why something is shit because they engage with it on a surface level. They won’t and/or can’t competently critique DSW shows because of incompetence or unwillingness.
And even that’s fine. It’s your bread and butter, you enjoy it, and don’t want to pick it apart? Fine. Have fun. It’s a shaky position that teeters treacherously close to being shills for your own benefit but hey...knock yourselves out.
The problem comes when you launch disparaging accusations at people who actually engage in thoughtful critique of DSW shows.
The issues are 3 fold:
Firstly, you invite criticism of your motivations. You’re already on shaky ground because your lack of legit, insightful criticism makes you look either too incompetent to carry out such a task or as if you have chosen not to criticize because it fucks with your bottom line.
So, you’re either well-meaning idiots or shilling for your own brand. And you just threw rocks at cats who will put all that on front street!
Second, if the mental capacity for meaningful criticism is beyond you, unnecessarily insulting people who DO HAVE THAT CAPACITY is folly. Engaging in a war of wits entirely unarmed is, in and of itself, moronic. But Blind Wave has the dubious distinction of engaging in said war with a group that has the critical thinking equivalent of a vast nuclear arsenal, the patience and experience to surgically deploy it, and has given them the motivation to do so. Stacks of stupidity.
Lastly, NONE OF THIS WAS NECESSARY. At least, not absolutely necessary. They could have sat over there looking ridiculous as they enjoyed vapid, soulless dribble and the status quo would have been maintained.
Or would it have been?
The Acolyte was the straw that broke the fandom's back. They've been bitching since TLJ but after Mando season 1 gave them hope and seeing Luke in season 2 made them cry, they've been sort of limping along, following DSW, hope in tow. The Acolyte changed that. The jig is up and the fandom is something like the children of Israel in the desert after 40 years of bullshit saying "God don't fucking care about us! Fuck it! We doing orgies and getting drunk, now!"
I bet Blind Wave is feeling the heat off those drunken orgies(it's a clunky metaphor but...IDFC). The fandom is tired of the crap content, the forced diversity, being blamed for shows being trash, being called ists and phobes, and the shills. This is why the heat wave hit Blind Wave. The backlash for acting like this shit ain't ass must have been and must continue to be pretty substantial. Blind Wave, wanting to be taken seriously, wanted to strenghten their position by saying "We're positive guys, bro! We don't go in looking for flaws." (Even though, after every episode, they point out as many flaws as they can detect)
Or maybe it was an ego thing. Maybe Blind Wave are upset about being called shills and they needed to vent on...somebody. Like their name suggests, that wave of ego forced them to blindly locate a target. In this case, it's guys who just want better fucking content for the fandom.
HOW FUCKING DARE THEY!!!!
Can I just say, Wizards are not in star wars. Hear me out. Wizards can summon things, they can cast fireball. (generally. They can throw frost attacks, they can make water out of thin air, and they can make food. they can even transform people into animals sometimes and vice versa. The magic a wizard can perform is basically world editing magic in essence, to transform matter from one state to another in incredibly complex states.
Star Wars, The Force, is a living entity people communicate with to achieve things. Most of the powers the force that people or aliens, are allowed to access are very limited. The power of telekenises in appearence, moving things around by manipulating gravity in essence, even force choke. However Illusions to affect someone's mind directly can be done, or to communicate with them. But beyond that, the force enhances biology, it does not generally transform biology.
It does not generally create new biology, in a way that a force user can achieve, though the force itself MAY be able to create life and do all sorts of things, it does not seemingly allow others to do this through it, though there is arguably the occasion of Anakin to show that the force will throw a furious rejection against anyone that tries to FORCE the force, to do anything it does not seemingly want to do. The Darkside is corrosive and corruptive, not something the living force likes, and is basically proof that the force powers are limited, because the darkside is so corruptive and the things you can do with it are destructive, and seem to bespeak of the destructive half of the powers, the light side is the healing/life bearing half of the powers.
There are very tight rules around how the force is used, and it is closer to a set of powers of the mind granted to those who communicate with the force, it is not like a wizard who is his own power source and can do whatever he wants without limits. The force has limits. and that is the key point. The force does not create wizards. Though pod racing is wizardin.
Nahhh blind wave is definitely way too forgiving of disney star wars
but these dude just stoping and picking every 3 seconds and misinterpreting what is being said is nonsense
Well to be fair a TIE Fighter cant detect sysmic charges. Also they have proxy fuse.
So yeah the scene is possible.
Except they'd see it, no? They aren't blind. I'd expect them to manoeuvre if they saw something fall from a ship. It wouldn't even have to be bombs, debris would be enough to damage or even destroy a TIE fighter so of course they'd manoeuvre away.
I watch these guys when i just wanna see nerds enjoy things. Efaps where i go for legit critique.
So you're just stealing content from EFAP Highlights? Not cool man.
Yeah blind wave really needs to stick to their own area there are entire career more channel most likely was made by little kids watching their reaction to their favorites videos.
I used to be a fan of both efap and blind wave, there both the worst
Efap at least had genuine criticism and do praise stuff. There's a difference.
@@RhysCallinan-e1e fair
EFAP just got too echo chambery. They, ironically, became a circle jerk. Any time a guest tries to play devil's advocate, mauler or fringy immediately jumps down their throat.
And rags is just annoying 90% of the time with the occasional funny zing
@@RhysCallinan-e1eno they don’t
@yodaphobic96 But they do though
I wonder if one of blindwaves fans came up to them and politely said hey i didnt like the acolyte much if they would start screaming trump supporter at them
They've never gone political, only mentioned trump here or there but nothing malicious.
26:05 - low-key admission that these presenters are immature, man-child whales....
Yeah Blind Wave do come across like that...
I check if I had sub to them, and it is unsubbed. That is good
I'm not subbed to Blind wave either. That is good,
Ffs Blind Wave, I used to really enjoy your content… Why’d you have to buddy up to these reactionary nimrods?
did they, I thought it was just the reactionary nimrods reacting to one of their podcasts?
@@thejadedjester4935 It is
@marshymoo7149 if that's the case than ops a little slow
I hope it's blind wave you are calling reactionary nimrods cus they are the ones bending over to Disney's sloppy shit lately, not EFAP. Are you insecure about people disliking the show you are shilling for, or?
Is you comment simply badly worded, or did you make a comment without actually watching at least 5 seconds of the video as it seems?
More like Get it from Behind Wave.
Kinda funny cause the 'toxic' fans criticism on Acolyte and RoP is the same criticism that they have.
These guys have been cringe since DAY 1.
Yep Blind Wave are the most cringe i've seen in all my years watching YT.
Not a fan of current Star Wars but the idea of whole council of dudes pausing every few frames of what you say and picking it apart is lame as hell. How is this a watchable format?
Their entire platform is based on that very idea, and it's insufferable. It's like a self contained echo chamber. In general it's lame and despicable to hate on and laugh at other people for being passionate about something.
The whole concept of a guy spending his time writing down a comment is lame as hell. How is this a fun thing for you to do?
It's listenable format
@@blujay_1743>echo chamber
>actually talk with an author of a discussed video if they're willing to come
Because it takes true grit to sit down for five to seven hours and actually think and break down terrible writing…if you don’t like it go watch Pixar reaction videos in your pajamas
Efap and Blind Wave are both hugboxes that can never have an open mind towards the slop of the other “side”
Except efap has liked plenty of things that are considered the other “side”. Arcane, tlous tv show, gow ragnorok(they even clowned on this right winger who hated it).
If you’re talking specifically about Star Wars, then that’s because most of it genuinely bad. But they liked andor so how did that happen, they didn’t just blindly hate it did they?
@@nuttproductions461 they’re a bunch of slop obsessed losers. They care more about their slop being political than they care about the actual politics destroying the west.
@@JGGeorgie
Me when I’m purposefully ignorant
I think you should look further into efap as a podcast. They very rarely take sides when it comes to media. They take the entertainment for what is and base it off of its own merits or demerits.
Nice "both sides" fallacy
So stealing wolfs work i see
this is cringe asf 💀why are they so vitriolic??
Because they are in the right to do so when Disney is absolutely destroying Star Wars?
@@Taygon094 they arent reacting to disney, they’re reacting to 2 guys having a chill discussion about their star wars opinions, being pissy about disney star wars doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole
That name is fitting especially for the comments you made.
@@fnspidey3825 oooh never heard that one before ✋😮💨🤚
Disney Star Wars is terrible, is propped up online by transparent shills with no depth to their "love" of Star Wars and Disney loves attacking its fans.
Pretty easy to see why people have no patience left
EFAP are probably nice guys, but they're content is largely toxic and seems motivated by their own political agendas, as anything and everything bad seems to be because of "the message" instead of, you know, incompetence and bad writing.
For me NerdRotic and Critical will never be more than hatebait grifters. Mauler seems to be more authentic.
They literally talk about the writing all the time. You've either never watched them at all or are outright lying. Would love to know what "political agendas" the EFAP crew have because they make an effort to stay away from that stuff in their reviews. Also I'd tell you to prove that the people you say are "hatebait grifters" are that, but we both know you can't because both of them call out bad writing all the time and the shows that they hate earn that hate.
@TylerJH get a grip you dork. It’s not that serious.
@@TylerJH So they have Nerdrotic and Drinker on? That's why they Rarely if ever mention politics in the sohw then eh? Oh and I menan there's HOURS of content btw. From the initial start they weren't political and unless I missed the show where they suddenly went 100% Drumpf (considering MauLer is Welsh/Jay is English/Fringy is Australian/Drinker is Scottish/The Little Platoon is English/Metal is German and at least 2 or more are bi or gay that kills your arguement but let's go with it just to stroke your fragile ego) how does that come into play on how they are tearing down a SCRIPT/Show? Did they suddenly only have guests that are Conservative or Strayt WHYTE Males (Fringy is black for example but let's not bother ourselves with minor details) and When did that happen? Libs have been on the show. Go back and you'll see plenty of times they were there. In fact mauLer has made a point of inviting them more than once. It's their CHOICE if they decide not go on not down to Efap refusing therm a chance to talk. So let's get that fact straight. Want to try again? maybe without Bidens Dik in your mouth?
Intersting you say Critcal is a haitbait grifter considering he's A fairly popular TH-camr who is also a published author with a film under his belt and has been on News channels and has been on TV more than once and plays a character on his channel to do Film reviews which he even admitted he did. "THE MESSAGE" phrase came from the constant barrage of slop we have been given with films/shows/games all pushing the Agenda that Whyte Man bad/all games/films/shows have to have DEI included in them and that also extends to the hiring practicises and that's just for a start. Want to argue against that happening? GO for it.
As for Gary he doesn't release as many Videos as G&G and Ryan. Now had you mentioned those 2 you maybe could have had a point to your own hatred towards them. As it is Gary doesn't pretend he didn't like it when they changed this or that to appease shills. He didn't amd won't bend the knee to keep them off his back as it were and you are the perfect example of someone who has either NOT watched their content OR are going after them because they don't like a show you like Or hate them because they're popular. Probably all 3 and more.
Whatever your reason show PROOF they are Hatebait Grifters. We know You can't/won't because all they have done is Criticise things that should be criticised. Maybe the only one hatebaiting is people like you who don't like the fact they air their views to make people aware of the shortcomings of the latest DEI mess that has been released,.
Thanks for letting us know you don't know what you're talking about
5:38 - love bombing.
21:32 its the difference between tough love and unconditional love. People who are willing to look passed the numerous flaws littering a show and pretend they aren't there are practicing unconditional love, and want to essentially just give it a participation trophy, VS people who want their show to earn its accolades.
I don't listen to disnoids
