@Silver:
Basically its a good video, just not great. The internet tends to be vocally extreme no matter what. Good or Bad. "This wasn't as good as the others" some how translates to "This is a piece of shit!!" in the comment section.
My guess as to why people aren't as excited about this one is because the actresses are unknowns (probably to help cut down on cost, I'm sure every big Youtuber ever can't be cheap). And the visuals are kind of generic. Compared to the sets we've seen, these are just generic abstract graphics (the same but recolored for both characters).
I personally checked out both actresses websites. The Ellen's actress impression are funny for the wrong reason; almost all of them involve her having her eyes open as wide as possible. Minus the twilight girl.
Yeah, I agree, I noticed too that the backgrounds were pretty generic this time, compared to what weve gotten accustomed to. But that seems like such a weird thing to complain about. I mean, I don
t think everybody hates Season 1, and the backgrounds back then were pretty generic aswell. I would say that for me, this battle mostly suffers from rather lame lines. The actresses I think were fine for their parts. It reminded me a little of Joan of Arc vs. Miley Cyrus though, and thats not the best sign (otoh, that battle has gotten better with time for me)
