I can't tell if she was really pointing out analytical points or just trolling. The ending made it pretty ambiguous.

Can't it be both? If they seem like valid points, then… they're still valid points, even if she says she doesn't really mean it.
(still hasn't seen vid)
The question is, how does it compare to Marz Gurl's incredibly boring fluffy non-reviews of the Don Bluth films?

She realy should have tried to get more out of that and her Land Before Time reviews, because that was in itself an interesting prospect.
Also, when Doug was talking about how the TGWTG crew don't do Hamlet, I instantly thought of Marzgurl for some reason.
-
Yeah, I really don't think Don Bluth thought that much into his film. What I think probably happened is that Don Bluth came up with this roguish character who went through this personal journey of redemption because it was good story-telling but such a character arc, which has been done numerous times before, was already intertwined with such deep connotations. So I wouldn't say it was as much of a coincidence as it was a "he wrote it like that because it was interesting and poetic but exactly why, he didn't know in detail". That's why I think anyway.
Also we got to see tits in a Nostalgia Chick video DU HURR HURR HURR

Agreed. She gives some of the best analysis while still being funny.

Kind of both. I don't know if Bluth intended that mentality or reading of the movie, but it can be interpreted that way. She does like the movie, and honestly, she probably saw the humor in saying what she had to say, valid point or not.

LOL!
Be nice. XD
-
LOL!
Be nice. XD
I am being nice! I only called them "boring fluffy non-reviews" which is exactly what they were. They offered no history or insight into the movies, personal opinion, or even jokes. For a string of a dozen films (Plus the non-reviews of Land Before Time which were all basically identical.) All of them, ALL of them, were just sort of "And here's the next movie in the line, here's the plot. Animation looked nice."
Not saying anything about the person making them.
-
Okay. Okay. Sorry. You're right though.
Has MarzGurl even done anything lately?

Temple of Doom is a dumbass movie and whatsherface is awful. But it's still great lol.
Crystal Skull is just bland. -

Checking the main site, her last video was a vlog where she ranted about people comparing the new Toonami to Capcom (I didn't even know this was a thing).
-
I havent' seen the review yet, but I thought Temple of Doom was alright. It's better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but obviously doesn't quite reach the level of Raiders of the Lost Ark, or The Last Crusade. One of the biggest problems with it, as MK said, was Willie. I didn't think Short Round was as annoying as a lot of other fans, though.

Toonami to Capcom
This…this is a thing that exists?
Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I have a video to go watch. Cause honestly, I'm curious to know how much MarzGurl knows of Capcom's assholic ways, and I'm curious of this apparent comparison. I'm not saying Toonami is this wonderment of love, but compared to CAPCOM!?!
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Just watched it. Okay, I can see where that comparison comes from. It's still stupid, but I can understand why someone would say that. And that understanding is if the person is stupid.
I'd go more into the debate, but MarzGurl, bless her heart, actually did a pretty damn good job making the argument.

It's not the best argument against this stupidity, but it's good. …She should do more stuff like this. I know she does sometimes, but it's far better than her reviews.

Crystal Skull was made just so Temple of Doom could stop being the bad one.
The actress is so, so annoying, I have trouble rewatching that one. The darker tone doesn't bother me, and i agree the raft is about as over the top as the nuked fridge (so I don't hold that against Skull). I actually like Short Round, he kicks ass a few times. ANd the set pieces are good, and Indy is in form.
But the girl is just so… ugh.

even if she was right, i couldn't stand to watch that vid. it was as bad as phalus (sp) when he whined on the same point about the turtles generations special. dead horse is beat

Chilled Monkey Brains!

I'm behind Doug on this one. I always hated Temple of Doom. The characters are awful, the tone is excessively dark and I never felt the movie had a point to it. It just felt like let's come up with the most gorey, hard-core shit possible and cram it into one movie. And while I admit the movie has its moments of hard-core action that tickle me pink, the overall feeling the movie gives me is just…why?
It's better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull though by miles.
-
Ooooh, Doug talks about Indiana Jones. Nice, remember when I went to watch it in my local cinema as a kid.
Horrible movie, besides the third Indiana Jones movie (it was okay, nothing special) I think the rest is just awful. Yes, the first one too. It's just sad that people try to talk themselves to liking some of the older movies. It's great that Critic talked about the Temple, because a lot of people won't or can't. I'll probably won't see a bad review of the first one so that's as good as it gets.
Also - too much penis jokes in this review, I got bored with all the 'willie can also mean penis' jokes. -

Yeah, I was talking how bad the Critic is lately, that even BB is better than him. Sorry for having an opinion, mate, I'll try to think like everyone else next time.
I did drop BB lately, he had some nice videos but his gimmick did get old. So for now I'll just watch NC from time to time, wait for JesuOtaku and adore Todd.Oh, yeah, and I'll love whatever Monkey King likes, because I have to. :)

Hmm, we don't really have anything to do with Bulgarians. Though we aren't that far.

Bulgarians are weird, they actually might have similar past to you. Their ancestors are in part the Volga Bulgars from the Urals, not unlike the Magyars.
But the area they conquered they did the opposite thing the Magyars did.
Like with yall the Magyars made sure I guess that all their subjects spoke their language and did other Magyar cultural stuff.
While the original Bulgars didn't, so their kingdom became Slavic because that's what most of their people were I guess. -

Making fun of ones own country really is a beloved Scandinavian custom

That infamous Digimon clip was done by a company called Agapio racing team (what does that have to do with dubbing, beats me) and if you search in Youtube, you'll find plenty of their other gems as well.
Now, as we're on the subject of Finnish melancholy, you'll find that an excellent musical equivalent is a band called Viikate, which borrows from the instrumental rock bands from the 60's like The Shadows mixed with metal sounds.
And on the subject of Hungarians - I don't think I've ever played an online game where someone didn't keep spamming VAN ITT MAGYAR!!!1

Well, half of the Avarians became our peasants when we got there. The Hungarian conquerors became the noble class.
Yep, that Basin was pretty popular back then and no one was really able to conquer it all. I figured we planned it for a long time because Hungarian warriors had already been there a couple of times fighting for other nations.
