I should start this off by saying I’m not some dipshit prequel fan and actually like RLM’s reviews. Even the comments on the video which are usually really positive are mostly trashing their opinions. Jay just looked uncomfortable the whole time and probably would have been much meaner if they weren’t his friends. It seems like nowadays people have been so mind broken by their favorite franchises being ruined that they’re willing to accept lowest common denominator garbage.
>I’m not some dipshit prequel fan and actually like RLM’s reviews
yikes
Stfu b***h
This. Jay always cowers away from his opinions because Mike thinks he's pretentious. That's why Rich and Jay are the best combo because they respect each other. Mike needs to get his attitude in check
Get that Mike wiener out ya bussy playa.
>Mike thinks he's pretentious
True and to be fair he is. He overrates things like The Northman for purely aesthetic reasons and mike is right to reign him in. But when it comes to garbage mike likes to pretend to like it for either contrarian or purely tasteless reasons, and Jay just doesn't have the confidence to say he's fricking moronic.
Young Mike is cute. Fat Mike is weirdly hot because you know he's aggressively dominant in that completely unconscious way where he doesn't even have any weird kinks like spitting in your mouth yet it's still so intuitive to him to be a 5000% pure top and shove you into the mattress while he fricks your butthole. He's just a big chubby bear of a man in the best possible way. Probably has a fat wiener.
Jay is cute but he has confidence issues. He really shouldn't because he is sufficiently cute to own any minor physical quirks that he has. I hope Jay is a reluctant top who cares about his bottom. Basically the polar opposite of Mike.
Rich doesn't even frick. You just cuddle with him. You lay face to face with him, his big warm gut pressing into your stomach, and smilingly stare into each other's eyes, having conversation into the early hours of the morning. He'd probably stroke your hair. Just imagine his gentle voice, that angelic smiling face, and every conversation with him being like a fricking dream of heaven, deep, long, spiritual talks about life and love.
It's hard to pick. Mike has that calm-among-the-storm passion and he'd smash your butthole into a thousand pieces. Jay is an introspective auteur who would take you on a journey with him, as an equal partner. Rich would be like dating the Buddha.
I think it's this blend of starkly different yet equally awesome personalities that makes them work so well together as a group.
>Just imagine his gentle voice
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIDS
>OP is a homosexual who can’t decide if he likes the prequels or not and only enjoys other peoples stances and opinions on things
OP is a homosexual. Classic move.
I hate how jay never stands up for his opinions. Someone seriously needs to put mike and rich in their place every once in a while and Jay is too pussy to do it.
Jay can go frick himself lol
you're both right
yeah, guess you're right
you can go frick yourself, jay was the only one stating the OBVIOUS nuWars male hero assassination
He’s getting paid to jerk off about movies a few times a month and maybe do a bit of editing once in a while. No need to risk his golden goose just because his cohosts have shit opinions on movies.
You're saying fat alcoholic moron and fat moronic moron would fire him if he dared to disagree with their takes on capeshit, kek?
Yes? Nobody's watching the videos specifically for him. Or just make for a bad work environment because of fragile egos. Why bother rocking the boat when you get paid the same either way? So some shitposting dork on the internet can sing your praises?
this, and i like their videos for the most part. mike has always come across as the dominant, slightly narcissistic alpha nerd, jay the equally knowledgeable yet submissive and so frequently dismissed. either way i doubt he cares that much considering the amount of income rolling in while the real world literally implodes.
Jay values more his friendship with Mike and the easy money he makes with RLM than being right about starwars being shit
in biden's economy is better to be a pussy than a poor
I mean I wouldn't advise anybody to alienate friends over consoomer tier media
I just think he could afford to be more assertive, he has been in the past
NTA btw
I don't care for Star Wars, so I'm not watching that episode.
It was fine. Didn't need to be an episode.
One of the comments said "nice to see the nerd crew back". Frickin btfod by youtube comment gays
lel
I honestly thought they were doing a bit at first but nope
>nice to see the nerd crew back
Top fricking kek, yeah I watched their review and both Mike and Rich saying this is the best Star Wars since the 90s, better than prequels. I kept thinking they were doing a bit but no punchline came.
literally mfw watching this piece of shit video
RLM continues to be a punishment circus
There seems to be a subset of people who think the whole Mustafar fight is a piece of shit because of that one whirly lightsaber moment lasting 2 seconds
these people are mentally ill and obsessed
>There seems to be a subset of people who think the whole Mustafar fight is a piece of shit because of that one whirly lightsaber moment lasting 2 seconds
>these people are mentally ill and obsessed
The problem with what Mike and Rich say in the video is that sure, a fight can last 5 seconds and be good, but the fights in Kenobi last 5 seconds and are still absolutely horrible.
Pull up the webm of Lucio Voreno's wife character killing those storm troopers by awkwardly pulling on their helmets.
By this moronic logic, modern Steven Seagal movies are masterpieces, because they look cheap, and fight last 5 seconds with him not even getting off the chair.
They're completely delusional.
>mike spends his entire youtube career championing the 80s story structure and practical effects
>new top gun is a universally praised return to the exact sort of screenplay he likes, done perfectly, with groundbreaking practical effects
>ignores it to watch obi wan kenobi and jurassic world
They won't review it because its good. All they do now is just review bad or controversial movies/shows. They became hacks unironically.
Yup.
Guys like him don't really want what they say they want.
IF THIS COMMENT GETS ONE MORBILLION LIKES WE WILL WATCH TOP GUN BUT NOT REVIEW IT TROLOLOLOLO BITCOIN XDD
I like all those thing and Tom is a plus but I have zero interest in plane movies.
He doesn't want to watch anything good, he wants to be miserable
>I should start this off by saying I’m not some dipshit prequel fan and actually like RLM’s reviews.
Oh, so you're a midwit moron? Now I know not to take your dogshit opinions seriously
Honestly after how they shit in Rogue One but jerked off Solo I really don’t want to hear shit that they have to say about Star Wars. I hate nuwars and don’t think it deserves any attention. Be it from them or me watching them talk about it
Did they really? I couldn't stand Solo I fell asleep about 20 minutes in. How TF could they like that garbage?
idk. They talk about liking it for being a “seedy underground” movie that doesn’t focus on jedi even though the film is ridiculously sterile
Rogue One was shit compared to Solo.
Rogue One is the best Stars Film from any era
Rogue One is a meh film. But Solo is a fricking soulless CONSOOM content product
Solo was also orders of magnitude more fun than Rogue One. So it wins by default.
I liked Rogue One and Solo, both had too much fanservice IMO but really it wasn't something that ruined them
The criminal part is how much better those two movies were than the main ST. Not that they're amazing but they were mostly fun or interesting and never made me want to groan out loud
Then again I hold TLJ is the best Disney film cause it made me stop taking Star wars so seriously overall
>tfa is good because it's just a remake of a new hope with tons of nostalgia bait
>rogue on is bad because it is a unique story with tons of nostalgia bait
Literally all they want is the same movie remade over and over again. They have no taste.
Yeah. I don't mind that they're ignoring certain movies out of spite, but they really need to finally add star wars to that list.
At least the trek shit is so far off the rails it's hilarious. Nu wars is just pathetic and annoying.
Rich is an utter moron and Jay clearly doesn't want to be an butthole to him on camera.
>it’s good because it looks cheap!!!
This is what prequel-hating does to the brain
you've been thinking about these ecelebs so long you're probably not going to be able to ever stop
Contrarian homosexuals just don't want to come across as racississis.
At least you admit there's no reason to dislike Obi-Wan unless you're a poltard who gets butthurt anytime you see a black woman.
For sure man
Mike is grasping for something since Star Trek was destroyed right in front of him. Rick loves it because of wife. Jay hated it but tried to praise what little he could to be agreeable.
lil b***h baby cries for days because his friends didn't upload a viddy. remember how you were crying they hadn't uploaded for 11 days? then 12 days and 13 days. awww poor little diaper babys friends didn't agree with him after they finally uploaded a viddy? poor widdle baby op 🙁 diapy full of poopy
They were so giggly and spazzy. I think they were on coke.
disney gives them adrenochrome
i hated the obi wan show until i watched the RLM review and learned why i was wrong
i rewatched episode 5 and on second chance i thought it was pretty good
i'm proud of you anon. it takes a big man to admit when he is wrong and consider other view points
why are you taking this opportunity to lie
this is how cancer spreads
also you're literally the "what did i think of it?" meme
I just watched Episode 5 today. I actually enjoyed it more than any of the ither Star Wars shows so far. That being said it’s 1 mild hit and 4 huge misses. I don’t really give a shit how good one episode is, a show needs to be consistently good for me to ever consider wasting my life rewatching it.
This is unironically the review that exposed them as absolute hypocritical morons.
Three people with zero artistic merit, attempting to continue their vendetta against the prequels and ignoring any flaws in a shitty TV show simply because they are so consumed by their distaste for George's vision. They find pleasure in Obi-wan Kenobi because it is nearly as bad as the very features they have attempted to make. They will never be film makers. They will never have valid criticism of art.
They are posers, particularly Rich, larping around in comic book tees, feigning knowledge of topics he knows nothing about and has less information to provide to the group than a poorly edited wikipedia page. It's not wonder he is the living embodiment of their mascot Plinkett.
FRICKING HACK FRAUDS
this, defending C-level film making that they usually mock because it's not the prequels is just pathetic, Jay knows this but he had to let the two morons Mike and Rich take control
I noticed a fair bit of prequel bashing, and even though it is sorta connected to them, its clear they only shit on them to make Kenobi look good.
They have been proven shills for years now. They had nothing good to say about the new dr strange and still recommended it. They did nothing but shit on the new matrix movie, but then mike fellated the first movie for thirty minutes before they both recommended the new one. Every big release gets a glowing recommendation after a tepid, restrained roasting. Meanwhile, they relegate a fairly small release like northman to a footnote in a half in the bag catch up and half recommend it after calling it a boring braveheart. It is very obvious who is and is not lining their pockets.
I think the recent reappraisal the prequel trilogy got has had a weird effect on them. They haven’t really addressed it, like Mike hasn’t come out in defense of his (garbage) plinkett reviews. I think they probably want to to just leave it alone and act like it’s beneath them to even consider, but then they also make a blatantly dishonest review like this and spend half the time sniping at the prequels. I just don’t trust them much anymore and especially not when it comes to Star Wars
shut up prequelmong, the prequel discord troony group broke up and it's back to reality
they will always be right in their prequal bash when it involves really REALLY dumb film-making problems. the biggest one that still always gets me is when mace windu literally just looks blanked the frick out looking literally nowhere when he cuts off jangos head. it's legitimately terrible. a lot of the shit though is the vision they shit on and i remember watching their critics and agreeing with everything, but after watching them again recently, the vision george had is very obvious and i legit think it was way ahead of it's time and wasn't borderline genius or anything but it's just below that area. a lo of the character problems they had were all diliberate by george. all of it, and it's very obvious when rewatching. of course i do remember them also saying they don't care about that and would in a mocking way talk like a fan going "oh well george meant it that way!" and then laughing, so they don't care if they are wrong at all. sad.
Good post and fair criticism, they really didn't talk about the direction of Obi Wan except Jay for that one minute near the start trying to explain all the hate he got for pointing out the shaking camera.
They didn't talk in any meaningful way about the writing, the production, the acting, the story, everything was very generalised, overly simplified, and handled with kid gloves.
They spent over an hour saying
>This is good, I like this thing because it made me have good feelings, this good
And they thought breaking the Leia hologram canon was was a minor point. That's Disney intentionally fricking with SW canon because, frick you. It's no accident why they let that slide, like they were struggling to remember her dialogue in scene. Yeah, frick you!
it's literally the
>these are all just minor nitpicks
joke from nerd crew, but played straight
They are probably going to remake the OT.
RLM would review it as, "Pretty good, mostly." Frick this gay Earth.
>"can we talk about moses ingram for a bit"
>never actually talk about her
>never brings up her shitty performance
So this is the power of liberals....
HAD to have been cut.
Every criticism they had of Star Trek Picard is applicable to Obi-Wan Kenobi. The only difference is that they don't care about Star Wars like they do Star Trek.
well to be fair there's art, there's fine art, and then there's Captain Kirk making the half-white half-black people come together
>say rogue one is shit for having a load of nostalgia pandering
>praise the TV show that is literally nothing but nostalgia pandering
Actual hack frauds.
que hace' wacho
>Two weeks gap
>Are cooking up a Northman review? Cruise-kino discussion about dope practical action?
>No, they put out a... Marvel's Doctor Strange 2 review.
>Another 2 weeks gap
>Are they gonna talk about EEAaO? Maybe new Adam Sandler film that's been praised?
>No, they're doing another... star wars series review
Fricking Christ.
Idk which option is more sad: if they're chasing views or if they actually not gotten over Disney products.
They're bordering on a toy channel. And I don't even meme about their downfall or whatever.
they are clearly chasing views and they are right to do so, full videos are too much effort to put in videos that not that many people are going to see because these days nobody goes to the theaters for less than 300million in marketing
>too much effort
Yeah, having a chat for an hour and a half and doing some basic editing really is too muc effort.
Especially for the amount they're getting off patreon no one should expect them to review every major release
>tfw you realize they've always been the npc consoomers they've made fun of for years
It should have been obvious when they said The Force Awakens was good.
>Jay defending Farts Awakens being basically a remake of New Hope by claiming Star Wars fans needed to be reminded of Star Wars
>Rich defending Rey being a Mary Sue by saying "sHe'S a MaRy SuE" in a moron voice
It's kind of odd how many people gobbled it up without second thought. Star Killer base should've clued people in early on.
people were desperate to like it. they couldnt accept that disney fricked them the same way george lucas did with the phantom menace
It isn't odd at all
They literally just wanted the same old thing
This brand of fanboy only got pissed off with TLJ when they character-assassinated Luke
have they finally been exposed, Jay had half a clue but didnt have the balls to smack Mike and Rich down
every time some abomination is released they go easy on it. they give some milquetoast review. they try to lie to themselves that they like it. they hate it bu the end of season two. they continually reference it forever as a crime against humanity. they move on to the next violation and pretend they enjoyed it and the process repeats again.
chubby mem of weak character and a refusal to acquire some form of patern recognition.
theyre Disney shills, you think its a coincidence theyll review Dr Strange: The Second Weirdness but dont touch Top Gun?
i too was shocked how positive they all were about. the show is god awful and everyone knows it. personally i think the 5th episode was worse than 4
at this rate they'll probably shit on Maverick once they get to that one
I really hope they do. Just for maximum Cruise cuck seethe
Honestly? They're are over. This after the Rich debacle, it was the final nail in the coffin.
The rich debacle?
??
Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself
Is Rich dying?
He's had late stage terminal cancer for some time now
I unironically think they were paid for this review and aren't disclosing it.
Why defend bad film making? I really don't understand that. It's fine it looks cheap yet they spend 10s of millions on each episode?
They're just happy it's not Picard, TRoS, or the Prequels. It's dumb and their review is extremely dumb, but I can buy that their expectations are so low that they got some level of enjoyment out of OWK.
I'm pretty sure that video about a Simpsons episode from 25 years ago was paid by Disney, I think that is the only way they do sponsored content other than saying out right like with Stranger Things.
why do they ignore Batman and Top Gun and other non disney hits but make sure to review Dr Strange 2?
Batman is overrated garbage and they probably have 0 interest in fricking Top Gun 2, remember that Top Gun is peak 80s corporate filmaking and they are gen x that like "honest" filmaking like Robocop and Ghostbusters.
It makes sense when you understand that they are not millenials nor zoomers
forgot to add, Dr. Strange 2 because they actually like marvel stuff (for the most part) and they know Marvel and Star Wars get more views than something like Northman that most people didn't even heard about, still they recommended it bundled with other movies in the recap.
Jay is a fan of Sam Raimi
I have documents in my possession proving that RLM ltd were payed by the Disney corporation to favorably review this Star Wars show. On the date of June 19 at the 15:00 hours EST I shall release the documents via wikileaks and the kivvifarms.
Q
I'm honestly surprised they didn't criticise Disney for conning fans. This show is the most cynical cashgrab imaginable, with bad effects and low production values. They give Sandler a lot of shit for scamming people, but it's Ok for Disney+ show to look bad because its "funny"???? The fricking megacorp that owns both Marvel and Star Wars
they did though
Was excited to watch them trash it, but once I found out they liked it, I'm not interested in watching. The problem is the bar has been lowered so far that even the worst shit is now regarded as "hey, it's not that bad, at least it's coherent."
>at least it's coherent
but it's not even that and doesn't match any of the established lore
No one cares.
that's not true. my wifes boyfriend listened to my rant about episode 5 and he agrees with me
>Mike almost says goyslop in reference to modern movies and tv shows
>Catches himself and just says slop instead
He browses this board kek.
timestamp?
not him but maybe within 10 minutes of the moment they edit rich to imagining a tasty burger i remember that part after thinking about mikes almost slip up myself
Mike voted for Biden and loves Hollywood goyslop. He definitely wasn’t about to call it out
>*COUGH*
>Mike, why are we filming my review first?
>*WHEEZE*
>watches more Kathleen Kennedy Star Wars
>won't watch Strange New Worlds
Truly the hackiest of frauds
Based La'an enjoyer
Is it actually good?
First ep included a literal reference to George Floyd teaching the world about racism iirc
Nah, the most political thing about episode one was showing 2 second clips of riots from both sides of the political aisle. The most pointed message of the episode was "hey don't kill each other guys, not cool at all".
Based wombposter
last episode had a fricking troony in it
he cute
>J2JAY
And they played a narcissistic villain that got btfo'd by Spock.
did the unitard include bulge?
is that the New Zealand prime minister?
from what i'be seen its pretty boring and its still written by goldisraelite so it cant be better than mediocre.
>still written by Akiva "Batman and Robin" Goldsman
He's an executive producer, fair, but he's hardly writing every episode. The scripts are a whole lot tighter than STD and Shittard (and most modern genre television tbh) and it isn't just from the lack of serialization. Definitely better than Obi Wan so far and worth a watch.
You have points that I agree with but SNW still isn't worth watching.
If you don't like it you don't like it, fair enough. Personally I think it's on par with a lot of average quality episodes of older Trek so far, and considering almost every Trek series has taken two seasons to get (consistently) good I'd say that means they're off to a better start than most. We're 7 episodes into a 10 episode season and haven't dipped into STD territory or had anything as cringey as The Naked Now or Move Along Home yet, which is a record for a Star Trek series.
Sure. I just don't think it's worth my time, let alone money. I think I just hate Paramount just as much I hate Sony. Both own or have owned great IPs and just do the absolute worst possible choices with them and turn the whole thing into garbage.
you waifuposting doesnt support the argument of it being good, just so you know. it's okay to have something cute to look at, but it makes you seem biased. but yes, its better than most yidney wars and almost all the nutrek (besides prodigy, i have a softspot for that one)
I know it looks like waifuposting, but La'an and Pike (maybe T'Pring) are pretty much the only characters to harvest meme templates and reaction images from so far in the show. Is Prodigy genuinely fun to watch as an adult? My friend's kid likes it so I just assumed it was good enough for the target demographic.
Paramount is just a company ran by old people (badly) trying to keep up with the times by rebooting old properties for """modern audiences""". They'll turn a different direction (not necessarily a good one, but different) either when the market demands it or the big wigs all retire and get replaced. It's why I watch SNW on Paramount+ and hatewatch STD with torrents. Sony is a whole different kind of shitshow and deserves everybody's vitriol, though.
qualifying statement okay gay
Jay is so based lol, I don’t understand why anyone would watch RLM other than to hear his opinion. He’s literally the only one who isn’t blinded by Gen-X nostalgia and shitty funko pop-esque commercial shit. He actually cares about film as an art form.
Go to bed, Jay.
>dude the prequels are still the worst thing ever
Jesus let it go.
Is Rich a moron? Like actually mentally handicapped?
Every time he actually puts together a sentence long enough to voice on opinion on a movie, he just reveals what shit taste he has. Has never been a single Half in the Bag they've ever brought him in on where I've agreed with him. Mike at least has the good sense to declare it was "guilty pleasure" and be properly ashamed for liking this slop.
The entire video is them trying to cope with the fact that it's the worst it's ever been, and there is no sign of any of the IPs they once loved getting better
I really think Picard broke Mike and Rich. Jay, the only one who actually realises kenobi is shit, is fine because he doesn't care for Star trek and didn't get mindbroken by it.
They did a bad job not making this show look boring and skippable.
Also why did that Vader vs. Obi-wan fight look like such a massacre? Obi-wan just kicked Anakin's ass 10 years ago, and the injuries and horrible cybernetics Vader has seem like they would be a much bigger detriment than just 10 years of old age. You'd think it would be more even than that.
Obi-wan literally stopped doing everything Jedi related. He cut himself off from the force too. He's been like that for 8 years now
I mean Vader can't even really train anymore ether. He has to rest in pods and shit in his free time to even get by.
how was obi wan planning on protecting luke by forgetting how to be a jedi
I'm not saying it made sense I'm just explaining why he lost
Vader seethes and is still a formidable foe. In the canon comics he's quite capable of kicking anyone's ass. It's not a stretch that he could beat a decade put of practice OB1
I don't get why an out of practice, horribly injured Anakin literally covered in torture gear Sheev gave him to troll him totally stomps an out of practice, slightly aged Obi-wan when Obi-wan won when they were both on even ground.
Telling me it's a problem in the comics too doesn't help, it just seems like people letting rose tinted glasses influence their perception of Vader.
His suit might be a torture machine, but Palpatine gave him extended prosthetic legs so he always has the high ground.
Vader isn't out of practice in current canon he's constantly doing shit like fight Jedi who survived and walking through lava fighting giant monsters. Plus Disney canon changed it so his suit isn't quite the pile of misery it used to be. Palpatine even offered him upgrades.
>Vader isn't out of practice in current canon he's constantly doing shit like fight Jedi who survived and walking through lava fighting giant monsters.
That sounds even dumber. This isn't helping.
It is stupid but again I'm just explaining why he's better
>protect a dirt farmer that nobody knows about
I mean the only people who would look for him would be a serious problem, so yeah.
Not just protecting him, but training him. He tells Owen that Luke has to be trained, even though he lost faith in the Jedi(?)
They wanted to make Darth look like a scary slasher movie monster but it doesn't work when he's trying to scare Obi Wan who was probably more horrified when Anakin symbolically became Darth in ROTS and not a guy in a Halloween costume now
Vader is canonically more powerful after his transformation than before it, he just never reaches his full potential due to the injuries.
And Obi Wan never kicked his ass to begin with. He was playing the defensive game and struck when Anakin became overconfident.
There's literally a flashback scene in one of the episodes that addresses their sparring dynamic.
Playing the long game and then exploiting your enemy in a moment of weakness is genuine skill.
It is, I'm just saying the fight was never one sided or a wash.
Anakin has disarmed Obi Wan in a sparring context. Him throwing a temper tantrum in part 3 cost him the victory.
I thought anger and hate made Sith stronger.
Hell that seems to be the Disney EU take on how he somehow became way stronger even after becoming a cripple with special needs.
a temper tantrum isn't anger and hate.
are you autistic and trying to figure out social ques?
I thought their MoM review was way worse. They literally had nothing to say about it. Jay didn't even mention the Bruce Campbell cameos. They had no real positive or negative things to say about it. I'm not sure they actually saw it.
ohoo shit boyz ! I installed a bangin extension that counts the downvotes in its app by specilized downvote app users and uses top tier machine learning to extrapolate that to what the dislikes on vids probably is (assuming every view was from a dedicated downvote-app user) and oh no no!! its over for RLM!
holy shit a load of downvotes just flew over my house
you dumb c**t, you're the person i'm making fun of
i don't get it
>its cheap
>low stakes
>feels like a kid show
>nothing matters
>constant errors in details
>I LOVE IT
Mike and Rich have finally reached levels of delusions never before seen.
Had this had the Star Trek name on it they would have been shitting on it constantly, incredible how when the bar is lowered everything is amazing.
Welp this is where I get off boys. I can’t ignore the obvious fact that our formerly beloved friend simulators are Disney shills at this point. There’s no excuse for defending this trash even as a guilty pleasure. I could ignore mikes awful takes on schlock like the JP movies but this is ridiculous. They also go out of there way to ignore relevant movies to review Disney products and ultimately recommend them now. They’ve unironically become the nerd crew.
>It seems like nowadays people have been so mind broken by their favorite franchises being ruined that they’re willing to accept lowest common denominator garbage
That's pretty much why they said they liked it. Because star wars is so shit that the bar is super low
It kind of bugged me when Rich made the prediction that Maul will come back with robot legs, because we know this was what he did even before Disney took over. This happened in the comic "Old Wounds", and then they showed it canonically in Clone Wars. Maul was even in Rebels. Bringing back Maul is the only predictable thing they could do, so it'll be annoying to see people go 'oh wow Rich called it!'.
They have made it very clear they just don't care about supplementary material, even before the Disney wipe of the old EU. That part isn't actually inconsistent.
I'm sure Rich read that but was too cool to admit it in a youtube video
Self-appointed film reviewers doing research? Not on my watch Bucko!
Jay acts extra gay in this one. What happened to him?
he was attacked on twitter by star wars fanboys
Dont mess with stormtrooper cosplayers, they mean business.
>fights in Kenobi are better than Mustafar in Ep III
They're moronic and desperately trying to make nuwars look better than the prequels
They're completely right about that. You were just seven and incapable of perceiving cringe.
>le epic contrarian take
I am seriously telling you that the volcano fight was like the laser in the sky ending of modern capeshit to everyone over age 10, it was loud and you went to go pee and maybe the movie would have ended when you got back and then it was still going.
wrong, it was the epic conclusion to Star Wars Episode 4 and everyone loved it even it if went a bit too far in some places. Disney wishes they could make a shot this kino
looks just like my japanese anime
The fights are better, they are just shot awkwardly, which is stated in the video.
Sorry, but no one likes the prequels except for a very loud subset of shitposters on this website who have tricked others into believing they are being genuine
>no one likes the prequels except for a very loud subset of shitposters
lol lmao
>no one likes the prequels
No one likes the prequels. The discord troony group that posted like they were a thousand dudes on Cinemaphile has stopped posting. This is reality.
you have to be a contrarian to not appreciate RotS
>No one likes the prequels
See how many months you can keep up one-man troonying to make up for them
>he thinks it's one person
Even if you hate the prequels, this notion that a handful of shitposters on Cinemaphile are the only ones who like the prequels means you're divorced from reality.
Go back
This. Ironically liking the prequels is peak reddit.
>he thinks i go to leddit
>on this website
delusional
you're an american boomer, yes?
I'm 30 years old and "grew up" with the prequels in theaters. I didn't watch the original trilogy until about 5 years ago and will never watch the sequels.
The prequels suck dick but i love shitposting about how great they are to get people to believe there's legitimate fans of them.
phantom menace is enjoyable to this day, i think
and revenge of the sith is pretty great
episode 2 sucks though
the prequels might not be terrific movies, but they're enjoyable if you
>care about what george wanted to do
or
>care about star wars more as a setting than as a story
besides, seeing portman bawd it up constantly was great
i think you have to be a soulless moron to genuinely hate the prequels
i watched the prequels again for the first time in like 10 years and i ended up enjoying them a lot more than i thought i would. but yes 2 sucks balls. maybe i only liked them because the st was so fricking dull and boring
Phantom Menace is genuinely a fun movie. Something that was lost to Star Wars to this day
the coruscant shit totally fricks the pacing. if they cut some of that it would be a lot better
>if they cut some of the real plot it would be a lot better
FILTERED.
A little bit but idk. Episode I coruscant is weirdly interesting and different than it is in the next 2 movies (where it becomes the dialogue tomb)
don't agree at all
in rewatching it recently i actually liked how lucas was trying to weave in all these other elements and going for some worldbuilding
the locations in the movie are fantastic for the most part, and the pod race is very well executed
pod race was the most exciting part of the movie
yep
honestly the battle with maul is the worst part because it's so awkward, like why the frick does he never say anything?
the movie would've been so much better if maul just got 10 extra lines
there's a distinct moment i'm thinking of when that shield wall comes up and separates him from qui-gon and they jsut awkwardly stare at one another, like wtf?
terrible
also in rewatching the movies i think qui-gon was great and ewan is an awful obi wan, he's nothing like guinness and people dicksuck him way too much
what are you trying to tell me
that they look vaguely similar? ewan doesn't act like alec at all, they might as well be different characters
You expect 20 year old Obi-Wan to act like 60 year old Obi-Wan?
i expect them to be at least a little similar, yes
obi-wan went from being a wizened zen master to being some dashing jack sparrow tier rogue character in the prequels, and a lot of that came down to ewan's performance and then got picked up and turned into canon by morons like filoni
i'm not even saying his character is worse, it's better, but if we're following canon then it just doesn't make sense at all
oddly enough you can tell that in phantom menace he does try to be younger alec, but already in attack of the clones he goes full moron
i guess george thought he was menacing and mysterious but any tension is gone when the movie cuts to jar jar being a fricking moron
yeah i don't like jar-jar still
i wouldn't say he totally ruins the movie but george goes way too far with it
him tripping up in otto's shop and being moronic is funny, him wiping out a battlefield of droids by being chaotic is not
the best alien in episode 1 is sebulba
jar jar is annoying character but really it just has too much shit going on at the end
I love jar jar buster keatoning his way to victory
Jar Jar is the really the only weakness of the movie and only in the sense of excessive misfirings of comedy
Like keep half of his battle scenes, cut half his lines elsewhere, and the movie would be objectively flawless and then it would come down to how much someone subjectively likes elements X, Y, Z like the politics and the lightsaber fight
Actually I suppose the other big weakness is Anakin destroying the whole invasion fleet by himself. That part sucked major ass
I like how they didn't talk. I thought you learn more from them in silence than you would from talking.
The correct intermediate position: Maul should have had more voice lines outside the battle
Yes, that I absolutely agree with.
But during that scene where they are waiting on the lasers, the silence was perfect.
>The fights are better, they are just shot awkwardly
and choreographed awkwardly.
and edited awkwardly.
and act awkwardly.
Yes, that's what makes a fight NOT good.
This show is shockingly bad, and them calling it "very ok" or whatever it was, just goes to show how fricking melted on the crap they constantly consume their brain is.
Or maybe they're just closeted SW fanboys with a grudge against the prequels (which yes, are also shit).
In Mike's defense, after watching an entire season of Picard, this show must seem like Tarkovsky in comparison
Yeah but he should really keep that bias in mind if he's aware of it, instead of stating that justification as if it's a genuine win for Star Wars.
Even the worst Star Wars movie looks like it's better than the second season of Picard.
Picard is at least shot well, Obi Wan is shot like a b-version of Xena
they said it though, this is what star wars is now.
Have people just considered that this show maybe isn't as bad as all the other Star Wars media that Disney has shit out?
yes ive considered it, it sucks dick anyways
Mandalorian is better than OWK in every way
Why did they even watch this? I feel like they skip much less skippable and more relevant shit than a spinoff of a spinoff of a franchise that's just spinoffs now. Like, this but not Top Gun? Even with their kids glove review, they made this look like it was unnecessary fluff.
They're lazy capeshitters with midwit takes. Are you really surprised after all this time?
Shitty takes or not, I would think they would care about bigger releases more. Hell, it would be easier for them to have hot takes if they went with stuff people are actually talking about.
I like watching rlm star wars material since the source material is so widely known and its easy to discuss all the things that went wrong since theres so much of it.
Compare it to abrams star trek movie. it not being terrible and most characters being unknowns make a review of it horribly dull to watch.
This will be the review that ruins their legacy. They have gone so far to defend their stance on the prequels that they’re willing to defend a piece of shit like Obi-Wan. They crossed a line with this review that even their most blind fanboys are starting to catch on to their bullshit. Unironically this exposed them.
>this exposed them
grow up
Nah I actually believe Disney is paying them off at this point. They can try to hide behind layers of le epic irony but at the end of the day they consistently ignore new releases in favor of grumbly recommending Disney shit while Jay meekly plays devils advocate to cover their asses. It’s obvious they’re totally checked out.
I'm telling you to grow up because you talk about 40 year old youtubers talking about Disney products like it was fricking Watergate or something, literally you cannot take this shit that seriously.
I’m not taking it seriously at all though. You’re projecting so much into my post and then getting heated up over it. It’s funny how you lack the self awareness to realize that you’re also posting in the same thread which makes you no better than me. If anything it’s kind of sad to go into threads and insult people for talking about the threads topic. It’s pathetic actually.
you are getting mad about someone talking about 40 yos
also watergate was a good thing, if nixon stayed president we wouldn't have Black folk like you infesting the country, rope yourself
I’m grown. This review exposed them. That’s why their comments are pointing out their hypocrisy, that’s why this board is filling up threads pointing it out too. Don’t project your own lack of adulthood on something as factual as this review exposing them.
They just don't care much for Star Wars obviously. They called Owen Lars and didn't mention a single thing Star Wars fans actually hate about this series.
>They just don't care much for Star Wars obviously.
they never did
>rogue one was TOO MUCH Star Wars
have they become genuinely moronic since Picard torture or were they always that dumb
too much star wars porn anon
that means too much shit for "people" that cum their pants when they hear the star wars blaster sound effect
>too much star wars porn
yeah
This is literally moronic AND fricking pretentious.
"Star Wars Porn" is the goddamn backbone of the whole stupid franchise.
If I wanted to see good story telling and thoughts about ethical dilemmas, I'd watch (original) Star Trek.
being fun is not fan porn
fan porn is like having boba fett walks away with an explosion in the background while john williams blasts, it's like bringing up some random butthole from the star wars cantina in your shitty YA franchise novel. It's not good and you wouldn't like it
>too much star wars porn anon
And TFA wasn't?
they realized every disney marvel horseshit is made on greenscreen and their arguments are invalid because that just means George wasn't being lazy he was ahead of his time
>This turd sandwich only had TWO turds this time instead of the usual four so that means it's good!
I'm glad I will never know this level of consoom.
So ewan mcgregor is gonna frick the lady and have children for future sequels right?
The conspiracy theories that they're setting up shit for sequels seem to conflict with how little they think through anything with Star Wars
The Mike incident was really fricked up. But honestly I'm beginning to think that guy deserved it.
RO and Solo are better than the 2 first prequels
they asked you to do something that made you feel dishonest, didn't they?
Do people really sit around for an hour and listen to some cucks talk about a show or movie? Holy frick you gays need to get a life
It’s usually in the background while doing something productive. I don’t have time to sit down and watch movies, so I put on people talking about movies while I work.
no we all get around and suck your mothers wiener and then go shoot some hoops
>mother
>wiener
anon thats not...
dont care, Dragon Dogma 2 is coming out officially coming out
>Dragon Dogma 2 is coming out officially
>it's true
2022 entirely has been them phoning it in. don't know what's wrong with them. they seem to still be making good money with it and yet they seem so burned out. there is so much material in VHS, in movies to critique..but they can't even be bothered to review The Batman even when their fanbase demands it..pathetic
The bar is so lowered that not being completely disgusted is "fun"
They didn't even bother dealing with the fact that there's no stakes
>Obiwan is alive in ANH
>Luke is alive in ANH
>Leia is alive in ANH (and a senator)
>Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru are alive in ANH, briefly
>Darth Vader kills Obi on the Deathstar
>There are no "inquisitors" in ANH, ESB or ROTJ
Rich has previously said he dislikes the Jedi stuff during the Solo review. Yet he likes this. His diabetes is rotting his brain.
Mike is a lapsed Star Wars fanatic. He's like one of those lapsed Catholics who might not go to mass, but he still sees the world through the Catholic lense. He'll probably never escape it.
rich is an actual unironic moron
people that haven't watched pre-rec won't believe that he's actually as moronic as he seems and that it's not a big joke
True. I've only seen a few clips of Pre-Rec, and they always seemed miserable. I always figured it was self induced. So to hear he's a genuine moron doesn't surprise me.
reminder that even picrel said it was moronic crapola during her watchalong
these homosexuals are bigger more braindead disney shills than the actual, unironic disney shill
i agreed with mike, the kenobi show is a guilty pleasure for me too. its the right kind of bad i guess
>people pay them patreon money for this shit
>this is crap but sporadically entertaining
>"THEY WERE TOO POSITIVE"
Jay wanted to trash it, but held back like a pussy
what do you expect from a guy who didnt see picard
Jay is submissive but I think its also because Mike is his boss (I think). So maybe he holds his real opinions because of that. Lame either way.
UH OH THEY HAVE THE CASE OF THE NOT RACISTS
>cheapness helps the show
It would have help if they simply skipped the high budget scenes, like the battle from last episode, instead of doing them for half the money they should
It's a weird review for them. They're intentionally pulling punches.
because they know it's this way because of them
Mike:
>"First of all, the idea that Mr. Plinkett saying JJ Abrams would make a great director for Star Wars movies had absolutely no impact on JJ Abrams being selected to direct The Force Awakens, okay? Zero!"
Rich in a quiet whisper:
>"You don't, you don't know that"
that's absolutely what happened and they know 100%
well obviously they would look like dicks if they claimed to have such a great effect on entertainment made by a massive company. but they know
It's undeniable that the Plinkett reviews had a big sway on how the internet felt about the prequel movies. But it's pretty unlikely that they played an super significant factor in any of the decisions about the post-Disney-acquisition stuff, especially when it came to individual lines like that. The Disney executives were probably working a few levels higher than what "some YouTube video" said about the franchise.
More than likely they simply made the same observation that Mike did: "JJ Abrams just did crowd-pleasing work with the Star Trek movies, he's probably a good candidate for the Star Wars movies." He was simply an obviously choice at the time.
>This was probably their worst review ever
It was just way longer than it needed to be. Their basic take that its harmless and a little stupid and that its cheapness is oddly charming is fine. The meta commentary that the shit show of Picard has lowered their standards was fine. But they made all those points about 5 times over. Its an hour long video with 30 minutes of material.
SW was always for kids. Only exception is ESB and Mandalorian and maybe ROTS. I also enjoy Kenobi and Book of Boba. There is stuff that just shouldn't be there. Kenobi could and should be better. So should be Boba.
It is Xena version of SW. What else you expect from Disney channel?
RLM likes it?
Now I have to like it too
Its conditional like.
You have to have watched first 2 seasons of Picard first.
You could tell Jay was walking on eggshells the whole video. He wanted to say this shit is garbage and worse than even the prequels. Then you have Mike and Rich who are happy to consume feces because it panders to their nostalgia.
Actually embarrassing and killed the channel for me. That are LITERALLY hack frauds.
My respect for Jay increased slightly, and I already liked him more than most posters cause he at least bothers to stay healthy unlike Thing 1 and Thing 2
If he actually spoke his mind I'd have gained a lot of respect for him, but there's still the second half of the show to see
He did speak his mind all throughout the Solo review, I wonder what changed
He saw how many times Mike put toy guns in his mouth after watching Picard and decided it would be best for the patreon dollars not to push him further
Mike's dementia has eaten good chunk of his neurons at this point.
Rich just desperately wants something to be good, so he substitute reality with fantasy.
Jay has to take care of these two.
SAD!
I thought I saw something a while ago about these hack frauds doing a Re:View of Galaxy Quest
Was that a real thing or not? Because it's the only reason I'm still subbed to their channel.
They're doing a re:View episode for Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Wow, I am really starting to hate Mike
>WELL IT WASN'T THAAT BAD....
I think people who like the prequels like more the extended universe and the lore, plus the various games and so on rather than the movies themselves. The movies are pretty shit
pretty much. george was always a great idea guy, not a writer or director
they shouldn't get defensive when people like rlm shit on the prequels because they just mean the movies
rlm are moronic and they don't critique the prequels, they shit on them in the most brainlet shallow way possible
as stated
here mike repeatedly keeps saying how the plot is incomprehensible (it's not), how qui-gon doesn't have a personality (he does and it's shown repeatedly), along with really childish shit like
>WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FACEEEEEEE
then he goes on to say that lucas didn't use any sets and that it's all cgi even though the prequels have MORE sets used than the old movies, it just has CGI as well and he's apparently too moronic to tell when it's not CGI which tells you a lot about the sort of "criticism" he's doing
most of stuff listed by RLM are meaningless petty grievances that don't take into account what lucas wanted to do at all
you realize by now that mike is moronic, right? that he shat his pants over how deep midnight mass was when it was literally anime tier writing? he's a moron
yep i love star wars because i love all the funky planets, aliens, and stuff like that, i love george's vision of creating this relaxed sci-fantasy universe that just has wacky stuff
the movies are pretty shit, though, even the better ones are kinda meh
i know that worley made an entire video saying they're good just because lucas did tributes in them to other movies, but c'mon, that's not really an argument
but having said that if you actually go back and check the stuff that inspired george from his childhood you can totally see how the prequels come a lot closer to the movies he really wanted to make, and he's always been right about a lot of things
having said that i do think that most people like rlm are just too stupid to understand children's movies
mike has an entire shtick in his episode 1 review where he pretends the plot is incomprehensible even though it's told so directly that a 6 yo could follow it without difficulty
Among all reviews so far, I think only Angry Joe's team did a correct job...
angry joe is an unbearable moron of a persona but the takes his channel puts out are actually good 90% of the time
Sad to see really, and it's been that way for like a decade
Yeah, that's why I mentioned the team and not only Joe himself. In fact, I think the best part of their "show" is Alex.
i pretty much them just for alex too, i think he should branch off and just do his own thing with someone else
joe is ungodly fricking stupid and other joe is cute and funny and all but he's totally braindead
It was evident they were being paid off as soon as they released their The Force Awakens review.
which review is it?
>create entire personality around hating prequels
>Disney ends up making shit far worse
>have to enter max cope mode and pretend to like Disney slop
It’s painful to watch
I'm getting kinda tired of the "I know X was bad and Y was done poorly but I like that argument." This obly works if its done intentional, which I'm fairly sure obiwan is not doing.
Why does it feel like the worse something is the more they praise it, its weird. Like theyve laid out their standards and reasonig for whats good and what should be done often. But then when shows or movies do these things badly they'll praise it cause its quaint.
because they've seen it all and they aren't principled enough as reviewers to keep a consistent standard, they just begin to like subversion of thing X or shitty knockoff of thing X once they've seen it played straight enough times
They are so jaded at this point it didn't feel like a proper review.
Jay was at least trying to keep the criticism realistic.
He even touched on the end the similarities between Luke in TLJ and Obi-Wan here and why the fans disliked the decision, but nothing came of that conversation.
they even admit they like it because of how bad Picard was. And I can accept that.
They liked every Marvel movie, but hated Joker. Think about that.
Didn't they have mixed feelings about Joker?
jay liked it
Jaybros... I'm sorry...
I have erred
I'm afraid they've gone full moron.
Obi-wan is bad on almost every level.
>the sets
>the CG
>the camera work
>the script
>the acting
It's like watching a moronic car wreck.
This is the first time I've straight up thought their opinions are completely unjustifiably moronic
even for TFA, for fricking TFA which I alone hated walking out of the theatre of all the people I talked to, I could see where they were coming from in some tiny way
yep
fricking vampire diaries looks like 11/10 kino compared to this shit
jay is being generous limiting himself at calling it a fan film
everything that could be bad is bad, even the lightsabers look wrong
I've given up trusting their opinions anymore, with the exception of Jay. I purely watch for their interactions, industry/filming insights, and jokes about bad movies. I could forgive Mike for Jurassic World, but not Midnight Mass. Kenobi is just the final nail.
How does it feel to live long enough to see my favorite Youtubers go down in flames?
It feel bad.
>I purely watch for their interactions, industry/filming insights, and jokes about bad movies.
"Virtual friends", you can just say it.
They should just stick to BotW and that's it
Why can't Obi-Wan be Vader level good at fighting?
he literally beat him both in show (ep5 training) and in the prequels. Not to mention that he was a fricking general in the clone army, and single handedly won against a shit ton of opponents such as general grievous.
Why is Obi-wan so cucked in this show as if he has never touched a lightsaber before? And if Vader can fight the black lady just by using the force, why can't Obi-Wan?
I think the prequels are better than both the original trilogy as well as the sequels
