Being a nerd is one thing, but when it gets to the point where people are overpraising stuff and calling mediocre shows "masterpieces" and calling nothing and emotionless characters "badasses" it makes me wonder have they even actually seen genuinely GOOD movies and shows with good writing and acting.
@Fenrir Yes because comics have never been political, give me a fucking break, Wonder Woman was literally created by a man in a polyamorous relationship with two lesbians. Stop trying to reinvent history because you hate the gays and minorities
It's all about the next 5 seconds. That's all you really need to know to understand the insanity. They just have incredibly tiny emotional attention spans. Everything always means everything as much as possible because they can't stop for 5 seconds or else they'll realize their life is awful. Everyone else has an awful life too, they're just capable of living through it like normal people. Also everything has to be the best and has to be advertised as the best so that everyone can make as much money as possible and the marketing team told them that empty excitement is better than real excitement for he purposes of making as much money as possible in the next 5 seconds so we can move onto the next thing that will make money in 5 seconds.
Mike is so right about certain adults just being straight up children. And it's not even nostalgia fueled at this point because they never put away their toys in the first place. They're still playing the same games and watching the same franchises over and over. They aren't ever growing up and leaving that comfort zone
Mike still watches Star Trek at nauseam. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with continuing to watch the shows or play the games that you played as a kid. Unless it's Yo Gabba Gabba or something. But I don't know man I heard it picks up after season 2.
Spot on. Fuck I love these guys. Who ever would’ve thought that I would bond with some hack frauds from Wisconsin over my love of movies both good and shitty, and how much the younger people of this world suck?
Damn, reminds me of, in Endgame, Cap picked up mjolnir and my theatre erupted in applause and I clapped too because I was in the heat of the moment and didn't want to be the guy who didn't clap. I literally clapped in a cinema at a Disney movie
I never understood clapping for a movie outside the presence of the filmmakers; especially if you're in a middle of nowhere town like Dixon IL or some shit. At least that town has a horror movie fest with some celebrities guests ever year, so there's your opportunity. You are allowed one screen simping for the presence of Bruce Campbell, Linea Quigley, or whatever hackfraud decides to do a Q&A between their terrible movie and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
@@ChunkSchuldingaTHANK YOU! I’ve been to numerous premieres/first day showings and been like “we live in Kansas. The chance anybody who worked on this movie is here is 0”.
You really want to lose faith in humanity? Right now, go find the absolute dumbest, most infantile, worst written scene from your least favorite Transformers movie on UA-cam. Watch it. Then, look at all the many comments praising the movie and scene as "classic." (Because THEY were 6 when THEY saw it with THEIR own stupid family, who also thought it was good.) The cycle continues. -Kind of how the Evil Dead remakes are "WAY BETTER" than the old ones, and the "BEST HORROR MOVIES EVER" when compared to the rest of the studio Horror trash we've had for years. The new fans aren't exactly wrong. Just ignorant. Heck, I have a grown-a$$ friend who refuses to watch anything made before 1980, because it's "soooooo slow and boring." Tried to show him "They Live," because all he talks about is conspiracies and subliminal messages and group consciousness, etc. He fell asleep, played on his phone, and at one point just stopped the movie to start talking about how "he really misses his ex girlfriend." Dude's 38, btw. He just can't NOT be a narcissist, but that's a whole other thing. The f*** was I talking about...?
*Hears Batwoman* Brain: do do do do DODODODODO *push* WE'RE OUT OF CREAM *slam slam slam* WHAT'D YA BRING ME Anyway, great clip! I've been thinking about this for a while and they hit it right on the money.
I remembered my Grandpa saying the same thing during Dynasty except the Commies were the invading force, insert current pop reference I counter "old man yells at cloud"... a secret to the young people, when you grow up you're still searching for the adult in the room.
This is also how sports work and why people get so fired up about them, even to the point of wanting to punch people in the face when they're excited about the wrong team.
I'm an Eagles fan ( although I'm just about done with football at this point ), so I know exactly what you mean. I give other Eagles fans an aneurysm when I tell them I root for my Dad's team, the Cowboys, when the birds have a crappy year.
The part I don’t like is if you have a different opinion and not like something you once liked people call you racist or you have a phobia of some kind, f that, and when people harass others for liking something thats dumb too, some people need to grow up
I'm having trouble trying to find a clip of Jay talking about a phrase he made up called culture osmosis. Him talking about has really stuck out in my mind, since I do often know about stuff without really watching/engaging in them i.e. marvel movies/shows
Guaranteed at least one person in these comments will become upset about this and that's understandable. But just know we do it because we care and want you to grow up healthy :)
I dont think people should feel bad/guilty just because they ''over'' enjoy a franchise, since we are all going to die 50 years later if you enjoy sci-fi that much you can go be a child and yell at the cool thing. I just dont support the agressiveness it is distracting.
How dare they spend time analyzing and critiquing a show in a franchise they like. They are totally no different then the haters who scream constantly about how x, y or z RUINED their childhood.
Lol they only reviews the episodes that’s all and have their opinion. What you dork are doing is making dozens of videos attacking the producers like they just killed your children and raped you wife. Grow up
I don't really agree with this take, what worth are the meanings and lessons we take from media if it doesn't personally affect us? Hell, some people are forced to raise themselves with it because the ones that are supposed to teach them can't be bothered to do so. The children and the playroom analogy doesn't really work either. Because what were all of those re:view episodes on Picard if not precisely that? Does that now invalidate this take, or vice versa? This makes them out to be hypocrites more than anything else.
Movies and media are part of your life experiences and your memories, they are not part of your identity. Of course, the stories we grow up with shape and affect who we are. But we don't let them DETERMINE us. As we grow up and gain more of an independent self, we can look at those stories and all our experiences at a more mature, thoughtful distance. If that identification with our experiences is too strong, it becomes impossible to grow as a person because you never gain new perspective on your past. Which is why it comes across as immature when people are offended "on behalf of" a movie or game or whatever that they like when someone criticizes it.
" Hell, some people are forced to raise themselves with it [media] because the ones that are supposed to teach them can't be bothered to do so." That's called "the problem". It isn't a defense but the thing to fix.
There is a difference between being affected by a story, character or learning a moral lesson and being obsessed by a product and getting absorbed by a group think. People that go to D23 or other pop culture conventions really do loose their sense of individuality and the abillity to think clearly. You get overwhelmed by the crowd, loud noises and flashy images and all you can do is go with the flow. It's sad that majority of young and middle aged adults never really grew up from their childhood fantasies and are letting themselves be influenced by companies with certain political agendas.
@@seanstarchannel8881 The "this generation is too soft" type. The "people enjoying things? How cringe" type. Entirely distasteful, narrow minded, and sad.

In short: No.
You can tell right then and there they haven't seen the classics like iron giant ,treasure planet brother bear, the animated justice league

He's the last person with any right to complain about it. IE Star Trek and his constant correcting of everything about it and constant referencing it.

Almost as if this is happening on purpose or something.
we're easier to sell garbage to when we're fighting!
When watching any media a good question to constantly ask yourself is: "Can I explain why I liked a thing?"
The part I don’t like is if you have a different opinion and not like something you once liked people call you racist or you have a phobia of some kind, f that, and when people harass others for liking something thats dumb too, some people need to grow up
Yeah, they try to discredit your opinion by labeling you an -ist or -phobe.
@BirdsElopeWithTheSun - Heyya!! Any word yet on when we might get an EFAP movie review? Been like 5 months now since they did the Home Alone one!!

Top tier comedy. Almost as funny as Twilight New Moon or Freddy Got Fingered
