I liked Final Fantasy X Final but again, I didn't enjoy the last part of the review. This occurs to me often with Linkara and Spoony, they have these strange characters like Black Lantern Spoony that I've never seen before, since I haven't watched nearly all of their episodes.
Still, very great. And my apologies for Spoony to have to dress up as Tidus :(Off to watch Paranormal Activity 2 since NC and Spoony said it's good –>

Personally, Spoony should apologize to us for wearing a Tidus costume… I had nightmares last night.

Ah, Benzaie. You know, I love the guy, I think he's a great entertainer, but he has bizarre to downright terrible taste in movies. I mean, this is the guy who thinks M. Night Shyamalan is a better director than Chris Nolan.
You say that as though Christopher Nolan is a decent director :1
-
You say that as though Christopher Nolan is a decent director :1
1. Shut the fuck up

3. Even if you don't think Nolan's work is great, he never made anything as atrocious as Last Airbender. -
Nobodyman, you said "Shut the fuck up" twice!

Memento alone is enough to solidify him as a great director.

Can't say that i'm particularly impressed with Nolan or Shamlamalam etc etc.

Just watched JesuOtaku's Top 25 anime list. Not a bad list, and I certainly agree with many of her choices. She hasn't seen more than a few eps of One Piece though, the only long-running shounen on her list is YuYu Hakusho. Let us hope she gets to that in the future.
! I'm a little shocked that Vision of Escaflowne didn't crack her top ten. I mean . . . it's ESCAFLOWNE!!!!!!!
! Oh, and I'm amused that she doesn't like Evangelion. I don't like it either. -

I wonder what would happen if he saw The Last Airbender.
I'm fairly sure he's a fan of the show (his brother said they watched it sometime after the Mako incident) and wonder what he thought of that disaster.Realy ?
Well that he saw it doesn't mean he's a fan , necessarily .

I realy think that the "different character but the exact same apearance" shtick is realy getting old .
I mean ,anyone remember Linkara's review of that Voyager comic ? I liked the review , but Linkara showing up in a star fleet uniform , yet looking the exact same as regular Linkara anyway , when we've even seen him in that suit before , was a prety lame ending .
Just get someone else to do the part , I mean he already plays four characters who , aside form 90's kid , prety much look the exact same as he does normaly , in my opinion (the singer guy who did that unfunny Annita Blake review , "mecha" Linkara , 90's kid , and ocasionaly Lester A. Bum) .
And then there's reviewers who do get someone else to play a part….but fuck up royaly .
I mean , the first video by Obscurus Lupa I see , a christmass special no less , and she has a guy who neither looks , dresses or sounds like Patrik Stewart say he is Patrik Stewart .....and yet the joke is not that he isn't Patrik Stewart .
I remember an episode of Sonichu The Animated series (the NSFW parody) where they actualy got a stil of Piccard and animated it's mouth . That was a good way to go .
Maybe I'm being a little harsh on Lupa but that was just out of place and unfunny .
This. I really don't get why Avatar is such a great show… I've seen few epidoes and... Meh.
No , I actualy realy like the show .
Primary reason is you have to watch more then " a few episodes" because this show actualy has a more or less progressing story to tell and bothers with characterisation .
Compare that to say Samurai Jack , which is just a 52 episode long cocktease of "He's gonna get back , he's gonna get ba- oh you stupid son of a bitch !!!" .
Like the episode where he skips the chance to go back in time , in order to save a few monks atacked by Aku's men , even though if he went back in time Aku would never have come to power and this incident would never happen .
Hell there is a near 100 % chance that , due to the changes in time , those monks would never have been even born .

! Oh, and I'm amused that she doesn't like Evangelion. I don't like it either.
! And despite that, she gave it a 3 out of 4 when she reviewed it… Even though she probably complained more in that review than she's done in any other review sans Ikki Tousen...
! Personally, I don't particularly care for it either. I mean, I liked how intense the action-scenes got, the plot was in theory quite interesting and I'm probably one of the few people on the planet who actually liked Shinji, but… well, that doesn't mean I want them to completely throw the entire plot aside just to focus on Shinji moping, which was essentially all the last quarter of the TV-series, and End of Evangelion, was. On the other hand, Rebuild is one of the greatest damn things I have ever seen in my life... At least so far. They haven't quite gotten to the point where I felt the TV-series fell apart yet, so I suppose the real test to it will be if it can stay good through 3.0 and FINAL. -

Yeah, seriously dude, what is up with people looking like themselves? Why can't they just get some Hollywood-class make-up or plastic surgery to make themselves look radically different? Honestly, does the NC think he's fooling anyone with that robe get-up.

Yeah, Linkara should totally get his dad or his mom or his brother or Iron Liz to play the characters because they are such great actors and have such amazing screen presence.
Or better yet, why doesn't he just hold auditions, resulting in a bunch of dumbass fans lining up at his doorstep. Sure, he may miss a week, but it's worth it for a 2 minute bit.
-
No need to be so harsh .
It's just that I think it's been overdone and honestly , unless it's realy funny , I think they shouldn't over use it .
I mean , they could always end up on the route of the one who must not be named .
! If you thought one Chris Bores was annoying , imagine three of them on screen at the same time .

Propably this. I just decided I won't enjoy it when few of the protagonists (only one I know is Aang and he wasn't one of them) completely thrashed some rich kids party and house because they asked them to leave after acting assholes there. According to show, that was right thing to do and that's where it was enough for me… :D

Pretty much this. With the exception of the 90's kid i always always always turn of a clip if they put on a costume and talk in a silly voice.
I mean i really wanted to watch Spoonys Ferris Bueller review but i just can't stand that insano skit.

Those were the primary antagonists, not including the Fire Lord, actually. It was more or less of a one-shot episode that had the villains of the show interacting with one another. The whole episode you're talking about was mostly a comedy episode at heart with some characters depth at some point in the episode.

In other words don't judge the show based off this episode. If anything watch some episodes from the middle of season 1 or anywhere in season 2 to get a feel for the show.

Insano is actualy prety tolerable because he's written funny .
Harvey Finevoice on the other hand …...(the 30's singer dude Linkara plays) . It seems there was not a lot of good material to write for the character and that's because his whole gimmick is talking in an accent and mention how he's a singer .
So go watch that video it totaly is worth it .
Oh yeah and I forgot Linkara's Insano-esque character :P

That was the token villain-centric episode actually. And that was in the middle of the last season on top of that. Not a good place to start in a series with continuity.

It was hangover morning at my friends house and it happened to come from tv. I never intended checking on Avatar, just happened to glance at it. Show for kids has to offer something special so that I can bear watching it and that episode just gave me the picture of un-funniness. And since it's Finland and it's a kids show, there of course wasn't any notion about episode number or even season, so it could've been the first episode for all I knew.
–-I'm really looking forward for sequal month. They tend to be so horrible even though I haven't seen the movies NCs gonna review (well I might've seen Carebears but can't remember).

i like doug's characters. I like angry joe. dr insano is fail. and for his FFX video. I had never actually finished the game. I wanted him to review right through to the end. I was unimpressed to be cut short to watch him prance around in costumes.

I had all but forgotten that Doug had characters.
To me he's the nostalgia critic only.

This is more or less an April's Fools joke review. I think you should listen to the commentary on this particular review, because Spoony says he actually likes the movie, but his criticism still has a point.
Also, I believe you have my stapler… er, I mean Spoony also talks about doing characters in reviews on that commentary. Personally, they're sometimes hit and miss, but I never understood why people hate them SO much. I've always thought that to the reviewer him/herself just doing the same type of review over and over and over again gets stale pretty fast and doing cameos, crossovers, characters etc. is a way to try out something new.

Same thing. I was Ask That Guys sometimes because they are sometimes very funny but almost never watching Bum reviews. Main reason might be that most movies come to Finland so late after Bum has reviewed them.

no, but you should listen to robby. he has lots of street cred. and no. you wouldn't like it. it's not your taste. it's too popular.
@traveller. I didn't say reviewers doing characters in general were a bad thing. i just don't like spoony's character. and nostalga critic IS another character. :P
-
Whoa. Linkara takes on a comic he hates more than any other comic he's ever reviewed on the show. And considering he's reviewed Countdown, Amazons Attack, and the Silent Hill comics, that's saying something. Here's his review of Cry for Justice #1 and 2.

They give the same reaction to me as Family guy does to them, shame. That's why.
And please, tell me when I have had it deep in the distended (New word to me by the way) anus of FG? When have I told anyone that it's a perfect show? :D Never. Only thing I bitch about when people seem to have problem if someone likes the show.
–-I wonder when Spoony will start his X-2 rant.

I really wish people wouldn't use the argument "You should like it because Robby said so." Its a terrible argument, and it places an opinion on my shoulders, or an antagonism I didn't actually state. So please don't do that anymore Captain Usopp. And Thousand Lion, if you're reading this, you stop it too.
Hawkolf likes shows that everyone else dislikes, and dislikes shows that everyone likes. That's their opinion to have, particularly when its uniformed by never actually watching a show.
The conclusions everyone draws about Hawkolf as a result of those tastes, are their own conclusions to make.

Well so far only one I haven't liked that other people have, has been Last Airbender so that doesn't hopefully mean I don't like anything on mainstream?
But anyways, finally someone makes an intellectual comment about that. If I like something other people don't whats the problem? :D I've never been telling anyone to watch those shows, or even not to critizise them. And as far as I remember, I haven't told any show it sucks? I've just said that Last Airbender wasn't to my taste. -

Wha? D: I do that? I like to think I always formulate and defend my own opinions. I mean sure I take some of your quotes here and there but only because they coincide perfectly with my views and it saves time typing and I make sure to take full responsibility for the quote so you're not dragged in any way.

Your repeated defense of Family Guy has made everyone question your taste when it comes to anything else, basically. You have to come out and state you like something before people will even fathom you might like something good.
And to ALSO dislike Last Airbender, which is pretty universally praised for its story, characterization, animation, music, combat, doesn't aid your case.
Its okay to like one, or not like the other, but the combination makes people assume you like crap while also hating anything good.
It may only be two series, but to most people they're extreme ends of the spectrum quality wise.
"I liked the early seasons of Family Guy" combined with "I've never actually seen last Airbender" would be a stance everyone else could understand.
As opposed to "I like Family Guy including all the latest episodes and will defend them at length, and I dislike Last Airbender based on one episode out of context."

If those movies are as forbidden like Family Guy, then I quess that settles it. I like mainstream as much as anyone else does. Too bad liking Family Guy is such a sin… It was a great show once and it still manages the get a laugh out of me once in a while.@RobbyBevard:

@RobbyBevard:

To this I have to say, I've never heard any detailed praises about Last Airbender. I know people like it but I've never head reasons why. Don't know why it is, it's not popular in Finland nor I have stumbled across it in internet. And like you said, my opinion comes from one episode that many people have pointed out (with that pointing finger stabbed deep into my eye, I might add) was more filler-like. But I've never liked watching kids shows. Movies are different thing, I love Disney but I've never enjoyed watching series of them in the "older" age.
And shit-load of thanks of being the first one (at least from moderators) not to start bitching about and talking with sense.

on the other side, whenever you state something you like, you give it a fair chance, and state reasons to like or dislike something. and posts like your previous one, where you defend halkolf even though he's digging himself a hole, really does give you "street cred" or makes you a great and respected member. not cause I say so. That's just my opinion, but I say so for good reason.
I'm sorry if it looks like I'm putting words in your mouth. I really don't care what people like or dislike. I like some odd stuff myself. "I don't like airbender, cause the art looks weird" would be good enough for me. Though, it would still be sad to be missing such a good show just for that reason. I give my friend a hard time for missing out on some great pixar movies cause she doesn't like CG. I've given thousand Sunny a hard time for being too picky with anime adaptations. (fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, right sunny) at least sunny gives reasons for his dislike.
anyways, I was just trying to point out that halkolf shouldn't brush you off so easily because you are in the art and media field, as well as a big part of AP forums, and you know what your talking about. Your not just pulling stuff out of your ass. Therefore, where as my opinion doesn't hold much weight, yours does Robby. It has nothing to do with being a senior member. Not all colored names are hot shit around here. (most, but not all)

that WoW vid sounds good. not my piece of cake, so it'd be interesting to see what makes it so popular with others.
so when's jesu otaku putting out the next digimon vid?

The Langoliers ?
Anyways , was Les Visiteurs (and V II) with Reno ever released in the US ? I'm saying that because , even though the movie is from 2001 , Just Visiting , was a horrendous sequel . It was made in english and was a complete bastardisation of the previous movies .

well that WoW vid was not what i was expecting, but it was interesting.
