I’d argue it is unironically, it’s exactly what his fans asked for, all these dorks together with lots of inside jokes and as their reviewer personas and if you read the reviews everyone that was a fan of them genuinely liked it and enjoyed watching it. He gave his fans what they actually asked for, compared to AVGN or Space Cop or all the other attempts by internet people to make movies he actually delivered for what his actual fanbase wanted.
I was a kid when I saw it and I remember being disappointed. In the buildup they kept talking about it like it was going to be a 'real' movie with, like, an attempt at reasonably authentic-looking effects and a feature film aesthetic. A similar concept to Space Cop. It was enjoyable enough, but it sucked to find out it was just them doing the same sort of skits you'd see in a regular Nostalgia Critic video but for 90 mins.
I feel bad for anyone involved in this production who thought it was going to somehow help their careers out.
Also, do they not realize that most directors got their start making SHORT films, that then attracted attention and led to larger films?
Ex.
I think at one point he was in that weird category of people who were kind of "affiliate members" and were allowed to post videos on the site but weren't considered a core part of the group or invited to do the anniversary movies. It tended to be people who had built followings independently of TGWTG. The Amazing Atheist and Ashens were also part of that group.
suburban knights was comfy att 2bh
just some internet nerds I vaguely knew via AVGN wandering the woods
I didn't even know anything about nerd culture prior either if I'm honest
The basic concepts of all those movies are pretty good. I also like that they're essentially written like Muppet movies (they focus on four or five of the gang and the rest of them are recurring background characters who only occasionally contribute to group discussions)
It will never not be funny that he's an old soul and his persona in his videos was generally dry and world-weary, but Doug consistently wrote his character as a sort of spastic hyperactive gremlin.
Early Lindsay Ellis had the perfect "nedry extremely horny girl next door" vibe, but the bloated sexless wine aunt from the more recent ones gradually turned me off...
I want to frick her because I know she would absolutely hate me if she knew me. I want to suck on her breasts and let her know what a dumb b***h she is. I want to make her cry while I squeeze pleasure out of every little thing I do to her.
It's awful, but it works as a friend simulator. They must have had at least some fun making it. Space Cop and the AVGN movie on the other hand are completely iredeemable garbage and make me want to stop being imaginary friends with anyone involved in them.
I've lost all my hair too and not only do my tinder dates end in immediate rejection the whole village and sometimes town gets behind her in banishing me away into the nearest lake like some sort of medieval witch
Was it really better than the AVGN movie?
In terms of story, yes. Production value, no
In a lot of ways it was. AVGN movie was professionally made by professionals in a professional manner is all it really has over Kickassia.
Kickassia > Suburban Knights >>> AVGN movie > Space Cop
I've never seen To Boldly Flee because frick that runtime, AVGN movie was terrible but I couldn't even finish Space Cop.
its the best internet reviewer film ever made

Ex.
Half of that infamous Cinemaphile macro was proven false.
Even the M. Bison costume story was fake. They fricking took that away from us
Don’t care, I still choose to believe all of this.
Kek, Confused Matthew was part of their crew?

No. He's also not autistic, but a real life schizo.
He's not even blonde

>suburban knights
>to boldly flee
Doug's movies are terrible but they have pretty cool names not gonna lie.

the white race must be erased
the what 'race'?
*smokes crack*
Finna…
>half those people are dead now
Time sure flies.
Take me back
JewWario did nothing wrong
>more than half of those people are bald or balding now
good, hope more join 'em
Unpopular opinion, but Suburban Knights is the worst one. People give To Boldly Flee a lot of shit, but its worst crime is being too long.
>OY'M SO EXCOITED MR CRITIIIC
How do you go from this...
...to this?
by losing your hair
He looked 30 even there, he’s always looked old.
He has the haircut and general demeanour of a medieval village oaf who you'd see ringing the local church bell or something
It will never not be funny that he's an old soul and his persona in his videos was generally dry and world-weary, but Doug consistently wrote his character as a sort of spastic hyperactive gremlin.
Imagine the smell
Reminder that this is the year of the Spoony and he's literally live now
>live now
Its over
>His smile and optimism: restored
Is he still in the same fricking bedroom that he was making videos in when he started his career?
I believe he moved back in with his parents after his breakdown
Reminder Spoonys brother killed a Mexican Cartel kingpin in a shootout
Spoony's brother shot and killed Dr Insano
If that from his BG3 stream?
It's from
which was live until a few minutes ago
are they still all reviewing stuff now a million years later?
I still want to frick Lindsay Ellis.

Is there any upload of this without cringe "commentary"? It's like a lost cringe classic and time capsule.
used to watch that one on eggkara

They're just playing hard to get
