Hello 😊, hope all is well with you. You are a talented creator, and I have enjoyed your creations having purchased a bunch of them. I get what you’re saying about how some YTers are spending their time posting mainly negative reviews, often stating the obvious. For many of them, that’s all they ever were or will be. Not every self proclaimed creator can actually create, and we’ve seen that now. I’ve learned through the years that gut instinct does stand for something and being able to accomplish something worthwhile is worth its weight in gold 😊💎❤️
There's a secret of why Red Letter Media stayed immensely entertaining and informative. When they dislike something, they stop watching it. They grew so sick of Transformers the last review Mike and Jay just tag teamed half the movie each. It is part of the reason most "blockbuster" movies don't even get reviewed on Half in the Bag, they know they won't like them and don't waste their time. They were DISAPPOINTED how typically bad Borderlands turned out to be because they thought from the review scores it would be a unique train wreck. Anyway, if I don't learn at least six things about a movie or moving making from a review, I think it is a waste of my time. RLM always delivers on that score.
You mean like how they kept reviewing Star Trek Picard and their thumbnails and discussions kept getting more depressing after each video? Rich wanted to stop but Mike kept dragging him back in. Not that i'm complaining lol. "How does it feel to watch all your're favorite franchises go down in flames?" "Feels great."
I've heard people complain about the Christmas release of "Nosferatu" but besides taking place at Christmas, it's a freakin' Robert Eggers film. They're looking for awards and setting him apart from the Halloween crowd. (It's also his most successful film already, and it's only been out for a week, so maybe cool it with the release timing criticism.)
Watched Boss Level and seriously wondered why it's not given any love as an ultra macho movie. Oh yeah, because no one praises anything, the views are in complaining
Zack : bpcs didn't even watch the movie before hating it Me : oh so exactly like Plunkett with the star wars prequels how anyone took him seriously is beyond me the man in star wars circles was I famous for how badly he lied during his prequel vids
@@subjectnivleis7572 Yeah. I also could not stick around with how negative and nagging he came across in quite few of his vids at the time. There was that air of superiority about him which is similar to the later SJW writers. As if he ;knew better' and did not had to elaborate or just did not even like topics he was talking about (or found them silly/childish?)
One of the reasons why I don't watch most of those channels any more but still listen to Ya Boi, Zack has always been in it for the quality of work, not to become TH-cam Fox News. I'm sticking it with Ya Boi not because I agree with everything he says, but because he hasn't changed for the worse, but because he's improved for the better.
Even Mike Stoklasa moved beyond the Plinkett character and even seemed apologetic for some of the criticisms he aimed at George Lucas. But that's because Mike Stoklasa loves movies.
Bro you have NO idea how lucky you are that you were able to just hear from a Dr. that you should try 8 hours of sleep, & then you're like "ok" & when you go home and actually go to sleep...YOU WAKE UP 8 HOURS LATER!!!!!! I'm am glad that you immediately realized the advantages of that and now it's just how you sleep, if you had woken up and been like eh that was overrated *backtocrapsleep* bro I would've been like WTFFFF Nothing I can say will even get you to understand how much I wish I could sleep for even just 4 hours in a row. Well, I'll try. Here's a good successful night sleep for me. Like, a realllyyyyy good one that happens once every time 4 planets align together. *sleep 3 hours, wake up, tired enough to fall back asleep within 10-15 minutes, get 2 hours sleep* That's it. That's the best I've had for...uh ...well, so many years now, that I've completely forgotten how old I was the last time I slept for 7-8 hours in a row. Normal nights i wake up every hour and a half and it takes 30 minutes to get another hour and a half. And no, I'm not functioning, I just pretend like my life isn't nonstop pain and awful and people seem to buy it, I think. Lol.
I was like that too, eventually i was able too fix that through supplements and a better schedule, but o still feel like hot garbage waking up, think the damage may be permanent 😢
I'm pretty much the same way, although much of it is because of the nightly dialysis I have to do. Every 85-90 minutes I wake up needing to go to the bathroom and since my dialysis machine is too far away,I have to use one of the jugs to go in. Then after that, the solution refills into my stomach and I hurt for about half an hour, finally get back to sleep and the cycle repeats itself five times and finally the machine loudly states, "your treatment has concluded, please sanitize your hands, put on gloves and disconnect" which no matter how deep in sleep I am, wakes me up. so once that happens and I disconnect, I finally get maybe 2 hours of good sleep. It's gotten so bad, I randomly skip nights of treatment because it gets too rough. Oh yeah, I forgot the best part, the way it dries me out and causes unbearable charlie horseing for about half the night, that's when you really start cursing not being able to sleep because then at least you wouldn't feel it. Tonight is another skin night because I was up all night with my right leg looking and feeling like special effects of someone with deformed legs that would be portrayed like Forest Gump running away from some bullies.
@@abrahamtheheavy I feel you bro, but hey u kno what, we both soldiers cuz we be doing stuff just like erryone else but if they had to suddenly run on our sleep schedule, omg they'd prolly be in the ER by the end of week 2
From 96 to 2001 I lived in the apartments on great hills trail. I hade the bottom middle apartment on the left looking out on the fountains and the gates. At the time it was an awesome place to live. I had two book stores two movie theaters and a grocery store all within walking distance:
Part of why I love the Army is because of my almost superhuman ability to sleep on command. Most soldiers don't actually have sleep problems, they just suck at maintaining a sleep schedule and the Army certainly doesn't help but if you get 6 hours a day and take a mid day nap you will be golden. Critical Drinker didn't start off as a YBZ knockoff, weirdly enough. He started off as a Spoony knockoff. Watch his old Final Fantasy 8 review, you'll see it. He has since developed his own style but the bottom line, won't achieve true greatness as long as he's fighting this largely imagined culture war.
Regarding sleep. Yep! Gen Z aging like wine is a myth. Rich Gen Z sure; they have the best routines and sleep, naturally, so they look like greek gods. Try having 2 jobs in your 20s you'll feel like you're mid 30s (if you're lucky) and 4hrs of sleep is heavenly 😂
50% of people have two-digit IQs, and this includes 50% of the people in your hobby, your industry, your political party, and so on. When most of them hear two arguments in favor of their side, a well thought out argument and the dumbest thing you've ever heard, they don't have the discernment to tell apart their merits--only that both arguments must be good because both reach the correct conclusion.
My only complain about the WWII movie is the women behaving masculine like they are real soldiers going to the front lines to fight. There are photographs of the real group that inspired the movie and they don't look like that. Excluding the extreme masculinization of the women the movie is fine. And the drinker critic was trash.
12:20 This reminds me of the week they spent pretending to be mad about a panel in a book that had a podcaster wearing a hat that they said was making fun of the geeks + gamers clowns. I don't know how anyone can take these people seriously after Zack Synder called them to their faces on a livestream and they did nothing about it. They so badly want to be the mainstream and be liked by celebrities. Nerdrotic in particular was crying about RLM having Macaulay Culkin on his shows. 🤡
often i find it helpful (trollful?) to point out that most artistic endeavors have always skewed towards woke. it's just that, pre-social media, ppl who complained about it were relegated to the fringes of discourse & we called it political correctness. but because of the outrage-driven algorithms we now suffer under, those fringe ideas are now mainstream & mass-conformity dictates that, unless we fear the woke boogeyman, then we must be gay or whatever. a very similar thing has occurred with flat-earth & other conspiracies. there have always been good & bad movies, it's just that only the good ones survive history & nostalgia does the rest.
An individual that purposefully goes out and finds only the worst possible things to whine about by pretending to either, saw a movie, read a comic, or watched a television show. This is a generalized statement that can be attributed to both the SJW and the anti-SJW (aka Birthday Party Clowns) crowd. They all sound the same, there is no contrast, just a juxtaposition to the point where any one person, looking from outside - in, cannot really differentiate between the two. And when you call them out with any kind of legitimate criticism, they get angry, they seethe, and they’ll accuse you of ‘If you’re not with me, you are against me’. And I’m like, ‘jeez, stop being so negative all the time.’ 🙄
Bruh. I happened on a ‘review’ of Mufasa fresh out the clown car, and his main notes were that Mufasa was feminist propaganda …because the male lions sat around and/or needed help and the lionesses were doing all of the work. … ….. …….. They’re *lionesses* ??????? That’s how it works???????? That’s not a Disney invention to brainwash children big guy, that’s a Mother Nature original 🤡
I've noticed Critical Drinker is particularly bad at imitating RLM. A year or two ago I'd notice he would talk in his reviews about older movies they had just discussed. Also, he'd say something like "a good script has a good setup and pay off." Yeah, Red Letter Media has been saying that for awhile.
The unsubscribe moment for me was the 6888th division video, it's one thing to criticize a movie about US service members in a war, it's another thing to say they don't deserve their story being told because "it's boring" "does this really need to be a movie" no, that was just too much disrespect to tolerate. Drinker may not have meant it to come out that way, but that doesn't matter, that went too far.
I actually believed you about Drinker faking the movies because of something odd I noticed in his recommendation of Godzilla Minus One. I loved that movie, and I was looking forward to him discussing several important themes of that movie: choose life, don't trust the government, the ordinary people must band together and defeat the enemy. It's a "found family" kind of story, a redemption story. He touched on none of those themes, which was odd. Not only that, I was curious to see what his take would be on a characterization flaw that a non-birthday-clown reviewer took issue with: the main character being a little *too* hysterical. The reviewer (Alachia Queen) thought her impatience came down to culture, as she's American. My Bahamian father independently agreed with her point (he saw the movie with me). This particular flaw lends itself to an "anti-woke" complaint, if one is focused on "anti-woke." Especially the scene where the main character's female friend, seeing Godzilla for the first time, stayed calm enough to save the main character, who fell apart even though he was seeing Godzilla for the THIRD time in person. Again, Drinker never mentions this. I was so mystified by his failure to engage with any of these points that I ended up drifting away from the channel, as there was no "meat," just surface level talk. So when you said he was faking reviews of movies where you have to go to theaters, it clicked. It made sense. Hence my lack of protest in your salvos against him. My two cents, anyway.
The thing that really made me sick of the rage bait is the Witcher 4 stuff. These people are either disingenuous or deranged and I am just bored with their bad takes.
I like watching the reviews, but I want to hear more technical and meta talk. Drinker et al are better at it when doing a panel format. I find that more entertaining than the individual reviews. I'll put on EFAP for background noise, and even if it kinda sucks sometimes, I like the level of detail they can get into. RLM is dependable for good criticism, but they have had stumbles related to only knowing a surface boomer level of a property. They critique fans of something without knowing what the fans know. I don't like physical comics. I don't hate them, but they just aren't my bag. But I love hearing knowledgeable people talking about what they know. Woke media isn't over. It is in decline, but I am still happy to hear alarm bells ringing about it. I love following politics and the political culture.
I don't really like watching movies i like watching reviews, and sometimes i watch the movie depending on the review, but since you brought up that they aren't watching the movies as well i had to go search for other more trustworthy reviewers, if i wanted to see someone bad mouth a movie without watching it i would record myself, heck could probably become a BPC too if i learn a funny accent 😂
If you removed the financial incentive to produce videos constantly going on about everything being "woke", every single one of these clowns would disappear overnight. People like Nerdrotic, drinker, and the insufferable Az might actually have to come up with something original. Not to mention the biggest bandwagon jumper or all, Yellow flash! That guy originally based himself on Zak, right down to destroying the comic at the end of a review. He then went down the path of going along with the latest outrage and pretty much mirrored TUG.
It's ironic to me that when Rings of Power came out, "Evil can't create; It can only destroy." became a catch cry. Except that the BPCs don't create anything* (Drinker is an author, but it feels separate from his YT persona - which is maybe a good thing?), and they want everything destroyed. As much as I dislike modern comic, TV and movie writers; They were hired, and they create. They have skin in the game. I wish more time was spent criticising executives and publishers (and uninformed investors) because that's where the problem really lies. But I also understand that someone's name on the cover of a book or on the poster of a movie makes them the target - not the producer. You and the BPCs all started in the same place. But I grew up. I don't have time to watch movies I *know* that I wont like anymore, and I don't have time to watch reviews of movies I have no intention of seeing... Don't get me started on 5-hour podcasts of circle-jerking negativity. It's not funny, it's not fun. It saddens me to realise that a lot of the TH-camrs I like(d), didn't grow up with me. *Plushies don't count.

Plinkett works because they have a deep love of whatever they are talking about. Without the love, it is just empty anger
very few yt channels covered recent “secret level” series, its a great series inspired from video games
the mega man episode had me begging for more
I just discovered it myself on Prime. I only watched one episode so far.
The Warhammer episode was awesome
This is the first I have heard of it. I am going to give it a look today.
Thanks.🙏
@@artemisia4718 YES that Warhammer episode was SICK🤮🤮🤮
Which is why I’m happy I don’t make politics my primary focus. Lol
As I get older I'm finding the mid-day nap very refreshing. 45 minutes, no more, no less.
Watched Boss Level and seriously wondered why it's not given any love as an ultra macho movie. Oh yeah, because no one praises anything, the views are in complaining
Shout out to Mr Plinkett 😂
Zack : bpcs didn't even watch the movie before hating it

Yeah, Red Letter Media has been saying that for awhile.
I watch a RLM video right before I sleep and now all their videos make me sleepy.
The unsubscribe moment for me was the 6888th division video, it's one thing to criticize a movie about US service members in a war, it's another thing to say they don't deserve their story being told because "it's boring" "does this really need to be a movie" no, that was just too much disrespect to tolerate. Drinker may not have meant it to come out that way, but that doesn't matter, that went too far.

I was so mystified by his failure to engage with any of these points that I ended up drifting away from the channel, as there was no "meat," just surface level talk.
So when you said he was faking reviews of movies where you have to go to theaters, it clicked. It made sense. Hence my lack of protest in your salvos against him. My two cents, anyway.

I like watching the reviews, but I want to hear more technical and meta talk. Drinker et al are better at it when doing a panel format. I find that more entertaining than the individual reviews. I'll put on EFAP for background noise, and even if it kinda sucks sometimes, I like the level of detail they can get into. RLM is dependable for good criticism, but they have had stumbles related to only knowing a surface boomer level of a property. They critique fans of something without knowing what the fans know.
I don't like physical comics. I don't hate them, but they just aren't my bag. But I love hearing knowledgeable people talking about what they know.
Woke media isn't over. It is in decline, but I am still happy to hear alarm bells ringing about it. I love following politics and the political culture.

Watch Echo Chamberlain, he's the smartest of the anti-wokies.
People need to remember that something can simply suck without being "woke".
You had to go red letter MediA.
If you removed the financial incentive to produce videos constantly going on about everything being "woke", every single one of these clowns would disappear overnight. People like Nerdrotic, drinker, and the insufferable Az might actually have to come up with something original. Not to mention the biggest bandwagon jumper or all, Yellow flash! That guy originally based himself on Zak, right down to destroying the comic at the end of a review. He then went down the path of going along with the latest outrage and pretty much mirrored TUG.
