Hearing Mike talk about Endgame makes me think that it’s gonna be the last MCU movie they bother seeing or reviewing. In all honesty I think I might be done with Marvel movies after it too. I don’t even think I’ll go see Spiderman unless people go apeshit over how great it is.

Should we bring back the RLM salt thread? I have a feeling
Click to expand...
For reasons I still don't fully comprehend, woke media didn't pretend this movie was somehow anything but bog-standard capeshit (unlike the Black Panther last year), and as a result I think less people are going to get their panties in a bunch over RLM boiling their opinion down to Mike lukewarmingly recommending it and Jay calling it boring.
 
Did someone say 'RLM salt' because it's out there, and appears more often than you'd think.

Is "Fist of Sunshine" a Wez / Road Warrior cosplayer, or does he...she...look that exceptional in h/er daily life?
 
Imagine being so mad at Mike's lukewarm reception of a superhero movie. This particular thread is filled with people soiling their pants and crying and stomping their feet that RLM is misogynist and toxic for having the nerve to not fully enjoy PRODUCT.

These people are literally this attitude

but absolutely serious.

From the way they're reacting, you'd think these people never watched an RLM video before and now there's a slight divergence from their acceptable opinions it's cry-time.

The OP is one of the more obnoxious "video game analysis" Youtubers and like most of the people in that thread they have bios like these

lol Campster. This is the guy who bullied one of his co-hosts off a group Let's Play he appears on (it's called Spoiler Warning), because the guy in question, Shamus, wouldn't ban one of his fans who had the temerity to discuss things from the villain's point of view when they were playing Life is Strange. He is the soyboy stereotype incarnate.

Spoiler Warning was my jam as a high school / college student. The schism was really a dual effort by Campster and another host - both of which had a history of being whiny babies. One of the other hosts would actually sperg out whenever someone would talk in the Plinkett voice, so Campster's circle has always been pretty terrible outside of Shamus.

The promotion for Black Panther, while just a tad "virtue signal-y," wasn't exclusionary. I don't recall people from the Black Panther cast saying "This movie wasn't made for white people." For the most part, the exceptional people behind Black Panther were its hardcore SJW fanbase, and not so much Marvel. The same thing kind of happened with Warner Bros. and Wonder Woman: WB didn't act exceptional for promo, but some of the SJW fans acted exceptional with the movie.

And, yeah, I'm pretty certain that Marvel Studios and Disney knew that they had an underwhelming and weak movie with this one, hence the release date being so close to Endgame, the promo saying that we all needed to watch this before Endgame, and the pandering (and self-congratulatory) feminism angle.

Disney made sure they weren't going to have another Solo on their hands, and so they took the proper steps to prevent that from happening again.

They also did proper promotion about Black Panther and how to sell it. There was a media blitz in the UK as there were a number of British Actors in the cast. All of whom spoke with genuine excitement about being in such a heavily black led movie, but that it was still a movie that everyone could go and enjoy. Even the usually woke BBC via The One Show spoke with how cool it was to be a black-led movie and how it was awesome to see so many people in these sorts of roles that are as rare as hen's teeth.

Oh man. I ran down the reactions. From the patreon announcement.
Second, creating a space where almost any idea can be discussed and debated does not attract the most possible people; it attracts the people most interested in debating a wide variety of differing opinions. Widening the net of possible topics doesn’t mean you widen the number of people who will feel welcome. For the people who aren’t interested in ever dealing with the occasional outrageous discussion thread that we’ve all seen in the past, there aren’t a lot of options for engaging with the community aside from “don’t bother with comments at all.” This has been a significant issue for me, because over the past year both friends and acquaintances have expressed to me that they like the show, and used to engage with the website, but that the way some comment threads have gone has made them feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

Well let's see... his patreon:

Sometimes the YouTube algorithm works out for me. Have some baby Red Letter Media footage.

"It's not a video game mom it's an interactive piece of media!"

I fucking knew there'd be salt from these chucklefucks. Even when they praise Wonder Woman and Black Panther they're still not woke enough because they didn't like the thuddingly mediocre Captain Miscast, which nobody really is singing the praises of.

Real film criticism is dying because of these corporate shills being useful idiotic drones.
 
Josh is far more tolerable in Re:View where it's less about jokes and more about knowledge of the film. There's less momentum for him to bring to a screeching halt.

Jack grew on me over time. Especially after seeing him in the Grabowskis and BOTW Star Wars Holiday Special, he does a great job in those.
