Do you think Mike looks back on the Plinkett reviews with embarrassment? He hasn't made any similar content in years. Does he just feel guilt because some part of him knows they somewhat influenced the sequel trilogy?

No
Shatner telling him to frick off legit broke him.
IDK but the main reason he doesn't bring it back is because it has edgy 2000s humour that shows rape and torture. Adolescents don't find that funny anymore.
they censored some of it on youtube already
he removed the bit where he fricks his cat
It’s the series that put them on the map, I bet he thinks about it with fondness.
This. Plus the plinkett reviews are way, way more entertaining than the prequels themselves.
Mike is legitimately too stupid for self-reflection. Jay has the capacity for self-reflection, but he defaults to being Mike's cum guzzler, which is why he's still one of those brainlets who keep parroting
>Star Wars was saved in the edit
meme. Rich is in a peculiar state because he was only one doubting Star Wars sequels, however, because he's surrounded by complete morons like Jay and Mike and because he's just completely jaded when it comes to Star Wars won't ever admit that Star Wars sequels have objectively done more damage to the franchise than prequels ever did. Force Awakens alone did irreperable damage and he's blind to it because Jay and Mike keep stoking that moronic fire.
All of them will never admit to not understanding Star Wars movies in the first place. They also can't admit to it because they probably feel like both JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson are the kind of filmmakers they admire and both made choices that made sense to them on personal level, who have same understanding of Star Wars as them. That means asking George for forgiveness and admitting to never understanding a kids movie about space wizards.
Jay is also a simp for his waifu Daisy Ridley.
>that part when Mike and Rich look baffled that Jay knows that Rey has a leitmotif
>leitmotif
bruh, not noticing a leitmotif across three movies whenever a character appears on screen means you have brain damage.
Frick Star Wars and Daisy Ridley is a terrible actress but Rey's theme is cute.
what the frick is a leitmotif
>leitmotif
A short piece of music / theme that plays when a character appears on screen.
Think Darth Vader - Imperial March.

The prequels are shit and always will be. Redlettermedia was right about everything.
It's been almost 10 fricking years and still no kids who are making videos about sequels being actually good and their childhoods.
The prequels are bad, but the sequels are much worse. There's nothing which redeems any part of the sequels. From start to finish there's nothing good. From Kylo Ren, to Snoke, to the quips, to somehow Palpatine has returned, to Rey, it manages to ruin much more than the prequels did, and they already ruined a lot, but had lots of fun at the same time.
Finn as a concept (stormtrooper who becomes disgusted with what he’s doing and defects) is amazing. Kylo as a concept (space equivalent of a /misc/tard who found his grandpa’s SS uniform) is also good. An imperial remnant reorganizing and launching surprise attacks against the republic could work. The issue wasn’t the ideas, the issue was that the tiny fraction of good in TFA was drowned out by mystery boxes, lens flare, and general Disney stupidity. Allowing Rian Johnson to immediately Ctrl-Z everything in the next movie didn’t help either
I’m not saying the prequels are good movies, but by comparison and by viewing the effect they had on interest in star wars as a whole it’s not even a close competition
>stormtrooper who becomes disgusted with what he’s doing and defects
Kyle Katarn.
>Does he just feel guilt because some part of him knows they somewhat influenced the sequel trilogy?
He literally talks about that at the begining of their Rise of Skywalker review
Doesn't Rich say it and Mike is in denial?
Jay and Rich brought it up and Mike just said that JJ Abrams should direct the movies, but not write and direct with guy who wrote Batman v Superman. Even though that is exactly the type of writer/director JJ Abrams is.
>Do you think Mike looks back on the Plinkett reviews with embarrassment?
No, they're just a significant amount of effort to create.
When you can get millions of views just editing a few hours of your friends watching and talking about a movie interspliced with clips from the movie, you'd be mad to create a long meandering long form video instead of that.
Not to mention he already makes $35,000 a month from Patreon
The Plinkett reviews, particularly the Star Trek, Star Wars, and Crystal Skull, would definitely be looked upon fondly. They secured a proper income, and put them on the map. They won't be able to do it again though, as they're actually years of arguments and forum threads and discussions distilled down in to the Plinkett reviews. Where this isn't the case the reviews can be very weak, like The Force Reviews, where he didn't have years of talking about it and mulling it over and properly bouncing ideas around to fall back on.
He doesn't do them anymore because they take a lot of effort and he is lazy. The last one he did, the Indiana Jones one I think got less views than one of the Half in the Bag episodes with Jay. So it's obvious why he isn't motivated. Nowadays he can just film himself watching some garbage movie and Ritch laughing and the zombie viewers will still keep eating it up.
Yeah, there was a lot of effort going in to making them that they don't do elsewhere. Do you see them do special effects or playing with audio and sets and home movie stuff anywhere else? Mike probably saw it as diminishing returns.
>Do you see them do special effects or playing with audio and sets and home movie stuff anywhere else?
That might be for the best cause these things can get stale. I've gotten bored with numerous youtubers who start trying to make little movies instead of just giving me review.
He absolutely knows the Sequels are his fault. He calls Rian Johnson his "son" in the TLJ review, because he knows that Rian is exactly the kind of filmmaker that RLM would influence.
prequel gays are mentally ill
I don't think anyone in the crew considers the prequels to be canon, just Lucas pulling shit out of his ass for something to do and money to make. It is likely that he's a big reason we got Abrams. It's just fricking clownworld, so no one actually cares; a $4 billion corporate boner. Whatver.
He won't do any more because he's too lazy now. He can do some low effort video of him and Rich talking about Start Trek and still make just as much money as something he has to put a lot of time and effort into.
I mean, his behavior during the RoS review was telling
No. Prequels suck Black person dicks. And that's final.
Gen-Xers are desperate for mainstream recognition. That's why guys like Mike Stoklasa and James Rolfe thought that making reviews with long skits would be their entry into a Hollywood career.
Happy to see the lady Mike Kidnapped still has a job in Hollywood.
>Does he just feel guilt because some part of him knows they somewhat influenced the sequel trilogy?
Yes.
