Anthony Gramuglia, otherwise known as that f*ckin' guy on twitter, has released a masterclass on recognising bad, dangerous film takes.
Let's learn from the expert together.
Lefties: Eat the rich
Also lefties: Don't harass millionaires
Also lefties: No, not me!
Leave multi million dollar companies alone!
If I made Daisy Riddley money you could post horrific things about me on the internet all day while I'm Scrooge McDuck diving into my pool full of money.
"It's okay when we do it."
This is the same guy that said the Xenomorph and Cenobites weren't inherently evil because they didn't *think* they were evil.
Even though both monsters rape people.
AY YOOOOOO!!! It's the berserk guy that demolished JSG!!!! Nice to see you here buddy!! 🥰
I mean.. xenomorph is simply animal doing its thing, wouldn't evil require some level of intention? And it's some time since I read the book, but weren't Cenobites supposed to "show you pleasure beyond bounds of good and evil" or something? Dude's obviously a creep, but this particular opinion doesn't seem exactly outlandish.
Running over a child because you're texting while driving isn't the same thing as running over a child because you wanna play Carmageddon in real life, even if the result is the same. Evil requires intent.
to me it just speaks of lack of higher thinking (Xenos) or too single minded in their own weird views (Cenobites) they can't be classified as able to coexist with humanity. Their actions are evil out of plain stupidity and lack of empathy lol. A chimp ripping someone's face off (which has happened) should still be considered wrong, regardless if the chimp doesn't know better.
"I can do no wrong, for I know not what that is."

Also he's a writer for Polygon, his opinion should be as discarded as his pronouns.
Also CBR
He should be sectioned if that's the case.
Yikes 😅
According to his website he also contributed to The Mary Sue.
Since my reply got deleted by those free speech promoters at Google, I will say again: he sounds a bit effeminate.
Bad media criticism. Is when somebody with not explicitly rad left views talks about something
I don't take lectures on "media literacy" from the functionally illiterate.
@@mariokarter13And illiterate in both economics and finances.
Bingo
Ummm, excuse you. It's "media crissism."
*Bad media criticism is when you don't consoom product. just buy it first then do whatever you want.
remember Battlefield V? the devs explicitly said on stage they don't really care what you thing.
Good Faith is when it agrees with me.
Bad Faith is when it doesn't agree with me.
It's GG when I win the game.
It's BG when I lose the game.
I’m glad more people are clowning on Anthony. He’s such a disingenuous person. He screencapped my first stream about him and I called him out for being sneaky. Called me paranoid because I know what happens when a small channel like myself gets sent people to false flag videos. Thankfully nothing got reported this time. But who knows.
A critic that can't take criticism, that's something that's become all too common.
@@SneedBassIn Praise of Shadows should be a cautionary tale for them, but unfortunately, leftists are too fucking stupid to learn things.
He threw a hissy fit on Twitter, claiming EFAP were bullying him based on his appearance, all because Mauler depicted him as a soyjack
I don't hate CinemaSins because he's bad at movie reviews.
I hate him because he's not funny and he desperately tries to be.
Fair enough, at least you aren't like Anthony here poisoning the well by trying to falsely claim that Cinema Sins is intended to be some deep cinematic analysis of movies that should be taken very seriously.
You hate CinemaSins because he's an unfinny tryhard, Ant hates him because he's a threat to democracy.
I hate CinemaSins because he failed to make good jokes about my favorite movie. If anything, it's like he didn't even watch it.
cinemasins and cinemawins are two sides of the same coin, I find both of them to bring nothing particularly substantive in media criticism, as all they are interested is adhering to the gimmick of being wholly negative/positive for the sake of it.
@@AscendantStoic CS will pretend they are making legit points though, even when they are outright lying. Like, cutting a line of dialogue out of context to make a joke isn't really funny unless you have never seen the movie, because otherwise you're just going "But, wait, that's not what was being communicated...?"
Anyone notice how hard it is getting just to say "I dont want this product" on the internet? Ads are bad enough, but when other consumers are shaming me it's ridiculous
Many such cases. If you ever accidentally open Microsoft Edge, it begs you to make it your default browser with the permitted responses of "yes" and "not now".
No, child. You do want the product.
@@thesenamesaretaken thats exactly what I mean, its the little ways they stop you from saying "no"
No one can shame you into spending your money on a product you do not want. It is your money. Anyone who says otherwise can duck off.
oy vey stop noticing
I really don't understand this man's through line but I do notice that when critics have the same politics as him, he's softer on them.
Friend /&/ Enemy
He's a journo for Polígono and CBR.
He doesn't engage in any real arguments with people he is criticizing. He just ignores all supporting evidence while accusing other people of "bad faith." It's the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen.
That's the modern left for you. These guys make the most ridiculous+hyperbolic "chuds" look like intellectual heavyweights.
So basically… Dollar Tree Vaush
It hurts to look at his bookshelf
Almost as bad as it hurts to listen to him.
You just know his home is filthy.
It's funny how Anthony is trying to say Lily Orchard overshadows people like Eric July, who has his own comic book company and made multiple comics at this point, raising millions of dollars in capital. You might think they're bad but he's making more original content than the majority of internet personalities.
He also sidesteps the fact that Lily Orchard is a huge creep that is shunned from almost every community they've interacted with.
They would rather gas up a possible pedophile as being entertaining schlock than praise Eric July for evolving his content from just being a critic to being a creator as well.
The dude looks at raw numbers at jumbled together a pointless narrative that no one asked for.
"All that matters is how a movie makes you feel."
These are the people ruining the western world. A woman can make you fall in love with her by seducing you. It doesn't mean that she was authentically worthy of your love. A movie can manipulate you into "feeling" sad or mad or joyous or whatever (often with music, but there are other tricks as well); that doesn't mean that the movie has actually done the legwork to honestly earn your emotional response. One must push away from a thing emotionally, engage in some level of dispassion, to render real criticism, or the critic must be self-aware enough to disclose that they are unable to do so, in which case what you have is what one might acknowledge as a guilty pleasure.
If nothing else, it's very silly to claim the emotional takeaway is the ONLY legitimate artistic observation. It's just not.
He says that but he probably wouldn't be able to answer if you told him the movie made you FEEL awful because the plot is incoherent .. because in reality what he is saying is that what only matters is how the movie made HIM feel, him not me, and not you, just HIM.
@@AscendantStoic Precisely. There is nothing wrong for liking or disliking movie for any reason you please. Just don't have the ego to believe that others aren't getting it or are watching movies the wrong way.
He ignored Literature Devil giving a definition and evaluation of the Mary Sue concept while going over characters who it applies to and why. That is the lowest form of Bad Faith Argument.
Both this video and In praise of Shadows one is so much "look, it's very bad to do X. Anyway, here's me doing X about these BAD PEOPLE". Watched EFAP on this and dude doing everything he acuses "bad critics". He also doesn't diffirintiate between stuff like Mauler couple-in-a-year-big-videos and commentary channels who just rant about whatever today's topic is (or he does but delibiretely conflates to prove he's points)
I knew this guy was picking easy targets when I saw Lily Orchard in his thumbnail. This became even more obvious when the first target in his video was Cinema Sins who no one takes seriously.
Exactly, he started with Cinema Sins specifically to poison the well aganist everybody else in the video whom he takes completely out of context.
I blame HBomberguy for this. He called out a bunch of guys for "plagiarism" and it got a lot of attention so now every mediocre breadtuber wants to get big by calling out content creators the same way.
The internet forgot/doesnt know about his ds2 vid 😔
@@matjaz5684 Even us DS2 enjoyers don't claim him.
The bad news is I think its about 10 years into his 24 years op, so it will take another 14 years to get to the pay off.
Didn't he call out people for 'plagiarism' of talking about a real life event?
calling out "plagiarism". imagine this kindergarten level of thinking from freakin 40 year old men.
"These critics don't understand what they're watching" or whatever he said
Doesn't understand that all of his examples are comedy.
Geez! I laugh so I don't cry at this level of IQ-free confidence.
It reminds me of back in the day when people would say that liberals were more media-savvy than conservatives because conservatives still found Stephen Colbert funny which meant they didn’t realize he was making fun of them. As opposed to knowing that and still being amused.
It’s funny how Ant stresses good critics don’t double down when they are wrong and should apologize, only to then run to Twitter and have indirect fights with people pointing out he’s wrong.
I watched Literature Devil's most recent X-men video at least twice. It was not a tangent. The video was about how the argument "X was always political/woke" didn't actually hold water. The reason X-men was in the title and thumbnail was because of the recent X-men cartoon and the fact that the X-men are the main go-to when making this argument. Everything Ant describes as tangents is LD collecting evidence for his final point. My takeaway was that the problem is how progressive politics are handled by modern writers rather than progressive politics themselves. "Woke" media has a habit of being rather condescending and talking to its audience like they're stupid children.
His video essay is objectively trash. Examples don't match what he is talking about, it's also completely disjointed.
I found it really annoying when he said that the people who call characters Mary-Sues have no definition and then plays the opening to a Literature Devil video about what makes a character a Mary-Sue.
BuT tHe OtHeR cRiTiCs ArE bAd FaItH (Why do people type like that, it's so hard)
I don't think I have ever seen such an incoherently edited video, it was so fucking surreal how bad it is ... a 5 years old with Windows Movie Maker can do better than this crap.
Add in the music and his condescending speaking pattern where he's clearly talking down to the audience, sniffing his own farts and going "My side good, your side bad"
There is a theory about why Anthony randomly put in clips that have nothing to do with the point he makes at that time. The comparison is that in articles or text books, they will sometimes include images that are vaguely related to their subject matter, even if they're not directly related to the point being made at the time it appears.
For example, if you gave a history text book page that talks about South African Apartheid, it maybe talking about a particular protest that occurred, and next to that text will be an image of the Prime Minister or even just a random image of protest.
Another example could be an article talking about an anime, and it just has a random image from the show that might not be related to the plot point the article may focus on.
The issue is that Anthony is trying to apply this in a video medium and he should know, and has likely made the argument, that not everything in text form can translate to a visual medium. Such is the example with this.
Anthony either fails to understand that putting a random clip that has nothing to do with your present point does not prove or support it or, and what is more likely, he's so arrogant in his "correctness" that he thinks any clip he plays of these people will be enough to prove they're "media illiterate", when all it does is make his video sloppy and the narrative of his argument inconsistent and hard to follow.
Which might be the purpose, because this video is clearly made for people who already agree with Anthony's horrifically found positions, but anyone who pays attention and listens to his words are easily able to pinpoint how much of a clown he is when he says "media critics are lying to you" as he proceeds to lie about media critics
The fact that dude took Cinema Sins seriously immediately discredits his entire video.
"Is this video just 28 mins of nerds fighting, because if it is, I'm here for it."
20 mins later: "This is just nerds fighting, why should I care"
Plot holes don't matter, weren't you paying attention?
My eyes were bigger than my stomach, what can I say.
It's pretty easy to get entertainment out of petty squabbles without getting invested in whatever they're squabbling about.
*ding*
Mary sues aren't solved with explainations. They are outcomes.
I don't care if you explain why a character is good at everything, they're still boring.
Not only that but it completely ignores "show us, don't tell us!"
One thing that makes heroes feel meaningful is seeing them sweat for the ground they gain. It’s a way of remembering that we, too, might find victory and transformation in the midst of our battles.
When we don’t see the hero work for what they get-even if it’s implied to have happened off-screen-it’s just not that relatable.
I also thought Anthony’s assertion that “every” female character is labeled a Mary Sue was either ill-informed or deceptive. The indication is that it comes from misogyny.
I’m a woman and just do not see that as viable. Most critics root for an underdog no matter the gender.
BTW, It would help if Mary Sue type characters in recent memory weren’t written like the snide, superior woman other women try to avoid.
Definition of Mary Sue is quite vague, but I like to think that it's most important characteristic is relationship between character and author, where author sees character as his/her own baby and never lets anything happen to it because of that.
In that sense, modern girlboss female characters are different from Mary Sue because they never see any setbacks for editorial reasons, not because they are author's self-inserts.
Third category of "good at everything" characters are power-fantasies, very common in isekai genre, they are explicitly written that way to suit the reader' tastes.
As such, we got through all three forces participating in creation of art: author, editor and audience.
although maybe some of the girlboss character are actually written as power fantasies, I'm not sure.
The story arch of Luke Skywalker is much more genuine, Rey never had to work for it.
How is that NOT a Mary Sue?.
"UA-cam CRITICS could be here," he thought. "I HATE youtube critics"
You'd think as a film critic he'd know that constantly cutting to random clips without context is a stupid thing to do lol
Tells you everything you need to know about him 😅
I feel like this is a result of the bulk of his career being writing terrible articles for garbage sites. This is exactly those vaguely related images with a little caption underneath interspersed through some clickbait, but in video form.
I have not seen that guy's tweets because he has me pre-emptively blocked 💀never even heard of the fella until now
Like most leftist nutjobs he probably uses block chains (programs that block people and everyone that follows them), so he probably blocked someone big (like Mauler from EFAP) that you followed, and because of the block chain you got blocked too...that's literally how someone ends up in an ideological echo chamber.
You have no idea how lucky you are. Or rather you were. This guy is insufferable.
Apparently Anthony unblocks people after some time because he wants engagement of telling people they’re wrong
this guys voice was made for print
For Critical Drinker's Prey trailer review vid:
I heard from EFAP that he changed the thumbnail because people were misled to believe he was reviewing the full film.
He only changed the title, but yes.
“Anita wasn’t bad faith, she made mistakes because she didn’t play video games much”
I distinctly remember her saying she played video games since she was a child, and there was a whole controversy over that…
She filmed herself with stacks of old carts and was like "Hello, fellow gamers, I also had a Nintendo Genesis, just like you!"
6:45 - Oh, it's Just Some Guy. If I recall, he had a bit of a spiral because he didn't like the Parental Rights and Educations Bill (or "Don't Say Gay" Bill as the media referred to it), and because he defended the San Fransisco's Gay Men's Choir, initially dismissing the "We'll Convert your Children" it as a joke, then justifying it by making up some bullshit about them doing it as revenge for being molested by Christians as Conversion Camps or something. It has been years, so I might be a little off with the details.
He completely lost his mind after that for some reason.
No, you got it right! The dude is a raging leftist that sometimes has solid/good takes on entertainment/canonical stuff. That's it.
Is that what happened to him? I unsubscribed from him after he started getting really weird. Kind of like Vito actually.
Did he talk about the c. s. offenders that seemed to still be part of the choir? Matching names AND pictures.
Just Some Guy knows his stuff when it comes to The Lord of the Rings, and much other nerd stuff. When it comes to politics... He demonstrates why some people shouldn't try to branch into talking about politics.
Anthony is a games journalist, nothing he says matters
I thought this became a fact 10 years ago
Okay. So his argument is:
1. there is more to movies than just the plot, so mainly criticising the plot is 'bad'.
2. What is important about movies, is how you feel about it.
Ok, so now let's say the people who make those videos mostly care about just the plot and don't care much about the cinematography, the explosions or the music. Why is it wrong to mainly talk about the plot? If how you feel is what's important about a movie, why can't those people do just that: talk about how they feel and why.
I don't get this guy at all. Pretty much all his arguments make no sense and the constant clips that don't seem to fit the context of what he's saying don't make things much better. It's like I'm listening to someone who's having a psychotic episode.
I think argument is a strong word for it. Technically it’s true but it’s so incoherent it’s almost like multiple separate and sometimes conflicting arguments from a logical standpoint. I think Tim hit the nail on the head - dude was just butthurt about some people maybe because they got more attention than him or something and so he made a verbal diarrhea video
When I make Steam reviews about games, I intentionally avoid topics where it's all a matter of opinion, like graphical fidelity. I'm not going to give a broken game a pass just because it looks good. a 0 / 100 does not become 50 / 100 just because it's really pretty, because I think it has entirely missed the most important aspects of the medium. Ignoring plot holes is the same thing. A photo may be a medium that's only a 2D visual, but a movie adds to that an element of chronological progression and sound. If you ignore those aspects, you're not reviewing a movie. You're reviewing a photo taken of a movie.
Is this a sequel to "Bad Conservative Horror Movies"?
Bad Conservative Horror Movies 2: Electric Boogalo Boys.
The Anita Sarkeesian bit is because that one party meme with the guy going "they don't know the real truth", and the punchline is that everyone else knew, and he was just slow.
This video shows a important lesson, he’ll claim people like Lit Dev, a writer who actually articulates his arguments and defines his terms that’s informative with the topic at hand is some kind of grifting, lying, pretentious scumbag.
When people Ant used Lily Orchard as “a political balance,” or the critics he gets support from such as Pillar of Garbage(a guy who made a video about Squidville being a 1950s enthostate) shows a clear contrast compared to LD’s videos that there’s no way Ant or anyone for that matter can find them more “insightful” or “better” unless he too is either immoral or conspiracy brained, likely both. It’s all a means of having your feelings or ideology validated than giving you anything that’s informative, nuanced or respects your intellect; so in other words “don’t ask questions, just consume products.”
Like come on, Pillar of Garbage says “homosocial away together space” and expects you to know what that means when he says it.
I've never heard of this pillar of garbage person and I have no idea what that even means. I even cracked out the etymology and still nothing, do you know what it is?
Anita's writers weren't quite careful enough. The video is wrong about objectification. When you program an AI to create behaviors in an NPC entity, give that entity a name, a voice, visual appearance, an occupation and implication of a life outside the immediate context of the player's interaction, and in the example of Hitman even morally judge the player based on their interaction with that NPC, you are not objectifying a woman. You are *anthropomorphizing an object.* The actual literal polar opposite of objectification.
True, but you are expecting common sense from ideological activists and proven grifters like Anita.
Crafty Ape had a series of episodes debunking everything Anita said using examples from other games, he obliterated her, look up his episodes if you are interested.
I loved the point when the writer-guy tried to provide an example of 'good media analysis' and its just him loosely quoting Blade Runner when Batty literally says the point. All of this to make a category mistake when he asserts that the emotions of a character are the most important when these emotions are informed by the events the caused them. This is how characters appear 'real'. There is a word for emotions that don't rationally follow from their causes. It's called "Hysteria" or "mania".
Using his understanding of media, you could theoretically just have a series of random still of people happy, sad, scared, and angry for a duration and that would comprise one of the best movies of all time.
Only if some of those pictures were of women talking about something other than males.
"Honest Cwiticism" This dude's lisp and speech impediment is pretty hilarious considering how highly he views himself.
It’s hard to tell if this was his first draft, had multiple redrafts, or there was no script at all
7:00 "People are seriously opposed to a queer spider-man. Why?" The same reason you'd be opposed to a white black panther or a straight Jack McFarland.
“We went over some of the reasons and there is no denying it, they are homophobic.” Ant lied about his article by omitting that part anyway
"The algorithms rewards the bad faiths criticisms, but not my the criticisms; I do the criticisms in nothing but the good faiths, it's these people I don't like, they do the criticisms in the bad faiths!"
My guy. Please. Spare me.
Cinema Sins literally has, as a criticism for nearly all movies, "this scene does not contain a lap dance".
It's not serious criticism.
Only americans are insecure enough to use their ugly flag lol
yeah, I call their critique more satire oriented and most of it is clearly made for jokes. However, Satire is still a form of criticism taken to a silly level.
its more than that but this guy is totally incomprehensible
Cinema Sins is comedy (creator of CS admitted he even does episodes on movies he loves), the fact this gut fails to understand that proves again that the progressive left doesn't really understand humor or memes.
Except when they say they are serious.
This guy may or may not be ass mad, but this is 100% an ideological hit piece and its a grave mistake to see it as anything but. The essential argument is "you are not allowed to criticize anything that carries ideological water for my side." Don't underestimate the perfidy of these spiteful mutants.
oh it's mister media literacy
I can’t believe they are still seething about CS
There were thousands of videos like this in 2017-2018, how is this made in 2024
I hate "technicalities don't matter, only themes."
What they are saying is the technical skill of the thousands of people that worked on the film do not matter at all. The only person who matters is the lead writer. Not the underwriters, not the set designers, not the director, not the actors, only the guy who wrote the theme.
Not even the head writer, in many cases, but whoever came up with the idea--director, producer, whatever.
Oy Vey. This guy is jealous of the success of other YT critics.
On the Critical Drinker thumbnail change he only changed it because he saw that people were confusing his video of him just talking about the trailer for the movie as a full review for the whole movie based on the title he had before.
Yeah, though the actual thumbnail never changed, only the title of the trailer one.
The level of self awareness in that video makes me think it was generated by chatGPT.
Nothing Literature Devil said was wrong
The reason people point out plot holes and “Mary Sue” characters is that they are indicators of poor writing. Many critics go on to talk about themes and how the writers were too ham fisted for themes to feel meaningful.
None of that has to be driven by politics, but it feels like different politics underlies Anthony’s complaints in his video. He does not actually play long enough clips to demonstrate his counterparts’ arguments. I would guess this is meant to be more a way of drawing sharks to blood than talking about movies. Which is tiresome.
Another reason people object to Mary Sue characters is that XXs are unsuited to action sequences and combat roles as they go against biology and the natural order. Men gave them a pass when they were sexy heroines but in the feminist present viewers are tired of that inversion of reality, Progs overplayed their hand.
This is a criticism of a criticism of criticisms
Critiception 😅
I've watched every single episode of zero punctuation, even though I have absolutely no respect for yahtzee's opinion.
This frightens and confuses the bugman.
Well you actually know what you're getting into. You're not watching it for game analysis. Cinemasins doesn't get that excuse, as he's said before he's doing serious critique.
@@MarquisLeary34I'm gonna try to phrase this as concisely as possible, so that your lib sh*t, soy brain understands it.
What you are saying when you make these kind of arguments. Is that you believe and accept that you have been brainwashed into whatever it is you believe, and you think it's important that we work harder to brainwash more people.
You have no power here. You probably do have some cognitive dissonance, though. And I'd be happy to help you through that.
@@eugenesis8188 I hope there's a whole deleted conversation between your last comment and his first one, because otherwise, you look absolutely mental.
@@billjacobs521 Do you mean he looks mental? I don't understand how his comment retroactively makes my comment make me look crazy. Lmao
I love the way this tool "organizes" his books on shelves. Clearly shows that he's more concerned with people seeing what he's "reading" than anything functional. Somebody definitely strikes me as very narcissistic, perfectly underlined by his entire argument boiling down to "You are thinking wrong and I am doing it the right and only way!"
My man really dropped "bad media criticism is fundamentally misinterpreting the media" _while fundamentally misinterpreting CinemaSins_
You're not supposed to take cinemasins seriously. It's junk mindless time-filler content that deliberately exaggerates, misrepresents, and riffs on the things they cover so as to be unfairly hard on it.
I'm surprised Synthetic Man isn't in Anttony's video. You'd think a journo like him would know how to pick the best examples to sell his thesis.
Leftists engage in "no platform" towards their real enemies.
'Just watch the movie yourself'
What does he think the purpose of film critics are? Not everyone has infinite time and money.
Yeah, I hate this argument. It's even worse with games; just sink 195 hours into this expansive open-world RPG yourself, before making a judgment!
That guy is insufferable. His twitter is distilled 97% pure reddit.
That's 97% too much reddit
God I love it when Liberals can’t comprehend the concept that successful people can simply just be conservatives and aren’t all just grifters.
The funniest part of the entire video is when Anthony edited the clip of Lebowski saying "yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, man" to remove the word "man" from the end when using it in response to Lily Orchard. A deliberate effort was made to do that. Hilarious and cringe in equal measure.
I didn't even catch that lmao
but yeah I agree he probably did that on purpose to not offend anyone
so pathetic no wonder this guy has no sense of humor whatsoever
Didn't know who this guy was until I saw that avatar. It's "get ready for the worst take ever" soy-man.
Gonna be a lovely source for content, that one.
1:00:30 it's insane how charitable that description is.
She's a grifter who got fame and money through hatebaiting against video games while leeching off the work of others.
The channel essays also weren't mediocre. They were disproven on so many levels that it's hard to say they are anything other than bad. The videos were extremely bad faith in excluding everything that goes against their message, which made them partially so easy to disprove.
It's been so many years since the literally whos so I forget the details, but I'm fairly certain it was never proven that Anita got any severe harrassment. She just said she did and people gave her money. Same thing that goes on even today: Someone says a woman is wrong so she does an interview saying how much harrassment they get from all the incels and white knights swarm in to protect their queen. There's a very direct translation from claimed harrassment to fame and money.
She also stole much of her footage from Let's Play, which she didn't credit, and suggests that she might never have played a single game. Also, don't forget the "bomb threat" that was so bad the police were like "It's bogus, don't worry about it" and she still ran off crying, almost like it was staged...
If you Googled the Dunning-Kruger Effect, you'd find this dude's mug on the first page next to the definition.
You should always give a positive review.
That's what makes the lack of course correction and inevitable bankruptcy even funnier.
1:10:53 weird thing to say as a left-leaning grifter.
He seems to be in favor of the side that is against people making individual choices, because it's "systematic oppression" and "normalization" or some type of internalized phobia.
Cinema Sins: the sin was watching shit.
What utter sophistry and projection... also that excessive lip smacking and mic breathing is making me want to tear out my ears.
This is essentially a long winded video essay to say "Don't ask questions. Just consume product and get excited for next product."
1:41:32 I've never seen a non-troon flash a AGP smirk before, somehow it's just as insufferable and perhaps a touch creepier.
This guy was a writer for CBR (and currently Polygon I just learned)
His opinions should not be taken with a grain of salt, but the whole damn Dead Sea.
Also he wants to seem impartial, but is clearly softballing(heh) the critics he politically aligns with.
This guy is getting mad at people "misinterpreting" art. Uh, sorry bud but that's on the artist, not the audience. Plenty of artistic expressions are not only misinterpreted, but **co-opted** by unrelated or antithetical groups to the original *INTENDED* message. "Those who can't make, teach" comes to mind.
Edit: 9:27 HE SAID THE THING! HE SAID IT! Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt
Anthony's video really feels like we are retreading the In Praise of Shadows video only shorter and less unhinged, but the goal of this video seems to be a focus on what he perceives to be right wing grifters succeeding more than him in the critic sphere.
I would argue anything that is trying to evoke an emotion is manipulative, inherently its trying to manipulate you into feeling something you otherwise would not. But it can be honest or dishonest. Having characters you're supposed to empathize with feel emotions for example is a way of manipulating the audience to feel a certain way, a scene like Urameshi's wake in yu yu hakusho is full of this, we dont really know yusuke enough to actually be sad about his death so we show people he knew crying, we show kuwabara not believe and charge in asking for a fight before being dragged away crying. But its also not telling you anything wrong, a young man is dead these people would feel this way. But another case is a scene from falcon and the winter soldier where walker kills a flag smasher. Everyone is reacting with shock and disbelief, falcon and bucky treat walker like he just murdered someone, but previously in the scene were shown this flag smasher kill walkers partner and he also just nearly killed bystanders. It makes no sense for bucky or falcon to act this way to walker so the audience is being falsley manipulated to feel that walker is the wrong by having our portagonists criticize him.
Both of these are manipulative, but only one is under false pretenses
18:41 even saying "there are more components to a film" than the plot it still matters if one part of a film is bad. If i made soup with rotting beef it would ruin it regardless of how well seasoned it is or the quality of the other ingredients
this dude acts like no one has ever had a different opinion than him.
9:30 This is not a bad take. This is just someone shiting on Terminator: Dark Fate and it's objectively shitty story.
I think the worst part is, this isn't just a "nerd fight." He attempted bad faith strategies to try and make people on the opposite ideological spectrum from him seem either stupid, illiterate, or just untrustworthy and deceptive.
It hit me when I was reading one of his community posts and he mentioned Pillar of Garbage and In Praise of Shadows, and he DEFENDS IPoS and PoG and says, "I think I covered the same subject a little bit more delicately/better."
His comparison of his video to IPoS already shows he doesn't disagree with IPoS' video or views that Zane espouses, and he pointed people to their videos to watch. Anthony sits in an echo chamber, says it's good people are coming down on his video because it means "He's right and they're not", commiting the very sins he says the "other side" is doing.
Edit: I forgot the part where he makes the "past is perfect" idea, and just falls short of claiming they're fascist because fascism is "right wingers pining for the past." That's scary. That's terrifying. That's not just bad faith argumentation, that's plain slander without saying it outright, painting the opposition as fascists because they're nostalgic (besides the fact that fascism has nothing to do with traditional thinking or traditionalism in general).
you cracked it friend. in the communist party handbook of the US it was said that their tactic for deflecting criticism is to accuse the opposition of being a nazi or a facist. They even say regardless of fact if it is repeated enough it won't matter.
Added fact, communists are the only group of people in the US not protected by the constitution.
Fascism DOES have alot to do with traditional thinking, though, although it's not the overriding purpose.
@@billjacobs521 I would argue, as fascism has everything to do with progressing humanity into the future, that it is less about traditional thinking and more obedience to the state, adopting useful traditions that are ONLY useful to the state's well-being.
Fascism tends to abolish traditions, not uphold them. As such, traditionalism doesn't thrive under fascism.
By the end of the video, I forget CS was a part of it.
Anthony's voice tranced me into a coma and touched my Mandela Effect without consent.
Don't you love it when you "opponents" attempt to discredit you by simply comparing your negative impressions from the trailer to your surprised enjoyments of final movie after you have seen it.
these youtube inteliguanas get so hang up on "bad faith" as if its some kind of argument...its so weird. Yes tons of people engage in arguments without being willing to change their mind or even believing the stuff they are arguing but calling that out isn't a counterargument to what they are saying....it's an information you use to decide to if or not engage in the argument
no media literacy detected
Damn didn’t expect to see you here.
Those prescription glasses are actually spot on. You look like an anime villain now.
I'm sorry, i thought the video was about bad media criticisms, maybe it would behoove Anthony to not descend into a segue about feminist theory in order to give context to Anita's critique. Beyond just not being strictly unnecessary to the overarching topic, it also has the issue as to why Anita is given such context but Eric July, the Knights Watch, Literature Devil, etc. aren't given comparative levels of context as well?
I had to stop watching the original video when he tried to "erm akshually" the guy that pointed out the absolute fact that Peter Parker is straight. The screenshot he provided literally implies he's calling the guy a phobe, and he just *claims* that he said he's not one in the video. It was just pure dishonesty.
I'd like to once again reiterate, Roy Batty says 'Off the shoulders of Orion', which means he's someplace near Earth, because Orion is the Constellation. Ant is so quick to say that this nitpick is unimportant and dismiss it, to say the technicalities don't matter, when the speech is about Roy's unique perspective, and people don't even understand his actual perspective, the things he's seen. And rather than reframing them to try and see what Roy was seeing, Ant just says, 'you're missing the point'. But it can be hard to listen, I guess.
6:53 I kinda remember this Tumblr level article. I think it was another in a long line of 'Men cannot be close friends, your either work acquaintances or your barely holding back the gay floodgates' assertions.
Groomer physiognomy.
Being a Steven Universe fan at his age is a gigantic red flag as well.
I've never seen someone obsess this much over Literature Devil
And, as I wrote on EFAP's coverage of the same video, he continually holds up _commentary channels_ as "youtube critics"; it's bizarre and disingenuous
"Thinking for yourself" is not a free action, and with how much C O N T E N T is coming out every day, it's literally impossible to watch all of it, you have to filter somehow.
He's also appropriating Truther and Libertarian talking points for his leftist agenda.
Is this dude's whole video is just him opinion bashing other people's opinion and not talking about actual bad media criticism
7:50 - oh all my goodness, IIRC, he cut out Justsomeguy’s very next sentence, “it would really help your case if I didn’t suck duck”.
I like this man, so very much
I haven't finished the video yet, but I noticed he seems a bit scared to go after Redlettermedia. Why is he so scared of an alcoholic middle aged man, a dude that ages backwards who loves gore, and a man with crippling diabetes and AAAAAIIIIDDDS?
It's uncanny how similar this is to the In Praise of Shadows video.
Just schizo ranting about people he hates.
1:36:10 he pretends to be some sorta erudite but not only did he fail on the Mandela effect definition, he doesn't know whar information cascade is
This has to be the most ironic, zero self awareness video on the internet.
RIP to all the brain cells that died as you watched this.
A rare moment where Hasan isn't lying to you
There's a first time for everything.
A broken clock...
"the danger with bad movie criticism is you turn to extremism", he's making anita's exact same argument for violence against women in games
I know these people so well I don't even need to go past the 30 minute mark, because it is so painfully repetitive.
-They people dislike critics, except it is okay to criticize the critics despite that being both an Oxymoron and Hypocritical.
-They dislike pointing out the problems with things because they just want to consume and enjoy what they want. And like someone who eats nothing but candy, when you point out it isn't that healthy or good for you, they get mad. Not because it is wrong, but because they don't want to admit that it is true.
-They will criticize people taking clips, lines or parts of something out of context while they themselves take things out of context and cherry pick to make their points look stronger.
-They will say the critics are trying to make people think like them or appear smarter or more correct, but it is the exact same thing they are doing in their own video.
-They react badly to criticism that isn't positive. Mostly because they have a thin skin and fragile opinions.
-Finally they will try to pull the "This is subjective/your opinion, and it is not true/fact." Which in itself, is a subjective opinion.
If these kinds of people were something, it would be a benign tumor. They don't really pose any threat to anything, all they do is serve as an example of something that makes everyone looking at it uncomfortable. Your better off just cutting them off and forgetting about them.
This guy yells "bad faith bad faith!" when his format is pretty much exactly the same as Liberal Viewer, who takes hours of seconds long political clips from MSM news and edits them together alongside his own narration to create his own personal alternate reality. I'm convinced that guys like this and Liberal Viewer are legit mentally ill with malevolent intent.
