god, one of my friends loves watching this guy but this guy's opinions are so shit and extremely shallow. no way this thing isn't going to be mid.
He's a reminder of why mediocre people do well in criticism, sure it's easy to shit on Hollywood movies like the Flash and whatever crap the MCU is pushing out now but the moment he tries to engage in something else he proves he has no knowledge at all.
This is a guy who butches that peter is being emasculated in Spider-verse because he brings along a baby in a mission, while ignoring both context and the fact that shows Peters growth.

Most critics about anything can't put their money where their mouth is, you don't have to be an expert to call shit things out on being shit, but if you make an attempt to show "how things should be done" and you fail at it, don't be surprised when people overlook your opinion about anything else in the future.
disliking this moron doesn't mean i automatically like the extreme opposite of him, are you a fricking idiot?

he does well because he is a grifter who panders to a certain crowd who just likes to have their opinions told back to them instead of trying to have any good ideas or opinions or anything constructive. which hey it's fine, don't knock the hustle.
but the problem is it gets to their heads and think they have something to say when instead their talent and view of the world is extremely superficial.

Peter was being a moron for bringing a baby to a war and the movie made him more of a goof than ever. I think you're mad cause you feel personally attacked by his remarks on masculinity.
Except it wasn't a war it was an intervention which spiraled out of control, he's a fricking idiot has a small dick and needs this idea of masculinity being under attack to justify his shit opinions.
>doesn't mean i automatically like the extreme opposite of him >he's a fricking idiot has a small dick and needs this idea of masculinity being under attack to justify his shit opinions.
Wow, you really thought you were fooling anyone, huh?
But being a literal babysitter to the point you have them strapped to your chest in moronic situations is emasculating
It turns you from a father trying to protect your child into a prop. Imagine if wolf and cub had the retainer taking the child into full battles instead of the journey to protect them.

Modern comic writers have no understanding of composition or prose, they're just friends with the editor.

They're literally the same shit. Grifter comics are just boring. Majority of shit put out by the industry is actively bad and isn't as easily ignored as grifters
>Majority of shit put out by the industry is actively bad
thats just not true. The majority is boring samey shit that ive read a million times before. Only difference is that it's actually decently written boring samey shit that I've read a million times before. Also at least these people dont pretend like theyre gonna change the industry only to deliver boring shit

I'll say this again.
His worst aspect is not his political stances whatever they are, his worst aspect is that he seems barely knowledgeable about cinema outside of capeshit and the most mainstream stuff ever.
that is kind of it.although from his watchmen review it just tells me the guy gave the comic a cursory read once instead of really going though if for his review. so not even good at capeshit either.

to be fair with him this one time there's some extremely stupid people out there that think midsommar is an inspirational girlboss story so maybe he read one of those opinions beforehand, and it poisoned his perception. he's not smart enough to break through his misconceptions, though.
I remember watching his review of Midsommar and he was complaining that Dani (the main character) was constantly crying because her sister killed both their parents and herself. The idiot completley missed the point of the whole movie.

This guy's critiques are always the same. He hates strong female leads, and complex plots. Everything else is fine.
I agree the strong female lead is cancer to any script, because 0 need for development so why making that a main character, but shit dude, everything else is fine? Look at his Puss in Boots review. Not a word about the worthless cringefest Perrito is, not a word about how dumb it is Death comes after Puss because he's on his last life. Shouldn't Death come AFTER he's used his last life?
The guy is just a woman hater, but movies are so bad that his reee passes off as proper criticism lol.
All that said, I'm fully okay with random people making content for characters. It'll be shitty often, but it has a better chance of being good than anything under the DC/Marvel filter.
As Death points out in the film, Puss In Boots has never valued his lives, and laughs in the face of death (a personal insult). And so Death, angered by this arrogance, bends the rules: "Why don't I do us both a favor, and take this last one NOW?"
As for Perrito: this character works for me precisely because, at first glance, he should be annoying, but turns out to have more layers of personality, and more insight into other people, than I had suspected.
Pretty sure all WWII and Korean War vets hated Vietnam vets far more than hippies did because they didn't consider it a "real war" or some shit, so Vietnam vets were denied entry into veteran's organizations for years, which came to bite them in the ass later when they all got too old and started dying and there was nobody around to keep the organization going, because even after they changed the rules the Vietnam vets still held a grudge and wanted no part in them.
Really though, a lot of the "hate" Vietnam vets got from society was retroactively exaggerated. Most got indifference at worst, it's just that Vietnam vets felt entitled to parades like the WWII vets got and whined about it, and then Reagan tapped into that resentment with a narrative that suited them about the evil hippies.
Look up “fragging”. Disgruntled young soldiers would often kill their superior officers. It’s part of the ideological divide between vets before Vietnam and after. It wasn’t just a Vietnam thing, but the cases in Vietnam were more numerous than before or after.
The Critical Drinker is a prime example of why people shouldn't take Youtube film analysis seriously. This guy now has his hands in actually decent franchises and is hell bent on ruining every single one of them.
Beyond Shadiversity's novel which I liked in spite of having a lot of issues with, do any of these youtubers turned filmmakers/novelists/video game devs actually put out something good?
>This guy now has his hands in actually decent franchises and is hell bent on ruining every single one of them.
He's involved in something other than this?
I mean you can say that but it's already gone from a tense thriller about a man so broken by war and society he becomes a monster to the generic action movie.
>This guy now has his hands in actually decent franchises and is hell bent on ruining every single one of them.
Wow, sounds like...every single western franchise on the face of the earth for the last decade or so.
That surely changes everything!
>Or the Sheriff
It can't be the Sheriff cause the whole point was he was a schlub that was a big fish in a small pond that underestimated and unpreperared for the insanity Rambo would bring. Making him also a military man runs counterintuitive to the whole point of the first movie.
I don't know or care what e-celeb this is but surely he isn't THAT moronic.
Rowling is good and massively successful. I know you'll say popularity isn't quality, but I have a feeling the only reason you list her is her opinions bothering you.
Like I said, I knew you'd say that. But considering you use the word "reactionary" I can guess your opinion on her views. So you'll understand me doubting that you're making an unbiased assessment of her work.
>he writes novels
So? Onision wrote novels. Mr. Enter too. In fact, a lot of YouTubers wrote books. Doesn't make him special. Besides, pic related won a Locus Award for best Science Fiction novel so the bar is low about what gets published.
>My comic tells the story of Colonel Trautman as a young spec ops soldier on a mission deep behind enemy lines in Korea, and the tough lessons he learns that eventually lead him to form Rambo's unit in Vietnam.
I'm okay with this if only because having more real war comics is interesting
I like Drinker and the bar is so low for comic writing that I'm sure it'll be fine. The actual problem with him is that he's stuck in the skeptic era, back when Sargon, Armored Skeptic, etc. were b***hing about feminists and the religious right. We're so far past that on the clown world timeline that all his videos are quaint. The skeptics failed because they were too autistic to realize their opponents weren't stupid, they were fricking evil, and had bought into a set of beliefs that had no brakes. Nothing to keep "here's this new gay sidekick character" from evolving into "if you have a problem with children seeing this mentally ill guy's dick at drag shows, you don't stand with Ukraine." Drinker is a fossil.
I'll buy a comic set in the Korean War.
The KW is seriously underrepresented in EVERY media.
Plus with Marvel shelving Punisher someone has to pick up the ball.
I just hope it's a war comic and not some woke bullshit.
It's the middle child of America's modern wars. If you want "big damn heroes beating the bad guys and saving the world", you go with WW2. If you want "frick war and frick the establishment for dragging us into this" then that's Vietnam (or, less frequently, WW1). The Korean it's-a-police-action-don't-call-it-a-war was just kind of there; everyone probably would've forgotten about it by now if it wasn't for M*A*S*H using it as an allegory for Vietnam.
>FRICKING LOL NO ONE IS BUYING THIS SHITTY COMIC BY A YOUTUBER I LIKE >$222,635 USD by 2,768 backers >THEY'RE ALL IDIOTS!
okay. and you're smart for not buying it I suppose?
you just seem to be suffering from sour grapes, attributing someone's success to taking advantage of the less intelligent.
Consider that, perhaps, he is in fact not exploiting the low intelligence of his audience, but offering a product that average people want to buy.
No i've seen the Critical Drinkers fans, their stupid and honesty if you're buying a product based on a minor character from a movie who doesn't need a prequel I think I can say there's something wrong about them.
Frick all you need to know about the man is that he's the one responsible for Rambo.
Drinkers a hack who's doing exactly what Hollywood does, telling stories no one wants to read except for the small cult he's gathered.
It could be good, but then again, he makes most of his money pandering to a certain audience. I think he works for Rambo, but he might miss the point of war is bad. Espically the Korean War was pretty bad but not as bad with some stuff. The Korean War is shown off extremely well in MASH.
I like Eric Powell (The Goon), but that's pretty much it. American comics as a whole have been a mess for decades at this point and it doesn't seem like it's going to change in the near future.
After all his 'fixing' videos and b***hing about incompetent people being in charge of IP, this better be God tier or else he's not ever living it down
Nostalgia critic except his gimmick is drinking and he also really likes to repeat the same points over and over. He's actually more like mister enter with his editing style now that I think about, except his autism is narrower in scope.

They're decent considering the genre of crime and espionage is done to death.
I think he'd write a good Rambo prequel
So decent but not good gotcha.
No. He's good for a genre that has been exhausted for like 3 decades.
I mean Tom Clancy is the big dog of the genre and even he had trouble not treading the same ground
I remember watching his review of Midsommar and he was complaining that Dani (the main character) was constantly crying because her sister killed both their parents and herself. The idiot completley missed the point of the whole movie.

that would make the most sense since he was a Korean War Vet in the book. not sure about the film though
Pretty sure he was a Vietnam vet in the movie, but I last watched it like six years ago.
Presumably, I guess this is meant to "explain" why he hated Vietnam War vets so much.
Pretty sure all WWII and Korean War vets hated Vietnam vets far more than hippies did because they didn't consider it a "real war" or some shit, so Vietnam vets were denied entry into veteran's organizations for years, which came to bite them in the ass later when they all got too old and started dying and there was nobody around to keep the organization going, because even after they changed the rules the Vietnam vets still held a grudge and wanted no part in them.
>Pretty sure all WWII and Korean War vets hated Vietnam vets far more than hippies did because they didn't consider it a "real war" or some shit,
In Australia thats how the WW2 vets treated the Korean war vets.
Didn't you homies fight vietnam too but with Fals ?
Really though, a lot of the "hate" Vietnam vets got from society was retroactively exaggerated. Most got indifference at worst, it's just that Vietnam vets felt entitled to parades like the WWII vets got and whined about it, and then Reagan tapped into that resentment with a narrative that suited them about the evil hippies.
But hippies are evil.
>Pretty sure all WWII and Korean War vets hated Vietnam vets far more than hippies did
Some Vietnam War vets were also Korean War vets.
Yes, especially in commanding roles.
Guess what happened to a lot of COs in Vietnam?
What?
Look up “fragging”. Disgruntled young soldiers would often kill their superior officers. It’s part of the ideological divide between vets before Vietnam and after. It wasn’t just a Vietnam thing, but the cases in Vietnam were more numerous than before or after.

That surely changes everything!
Why do all Youtuber comics have the same extremely bland DC/Marvel looking ass like artist from the 80's who still working jobber style?
Because the people funding this stuff grew up with 80s/90s comics and don’t care about the fantagraphics/anime/twitter/whatever art style you like
I grew up with those too but I like the artists that actually had unique styles anon.
You put both those under digital colors and it'd make them look far more generic.
>Norm Breyfogle
>Michael Golden
>Generic in any way.
Na.
I like both of them but digital didn't do favors for either.
These aren't good.
Is David Morrell involved at all?
>Rambo prequel in Korean War
Wasn't Rambo in his mid-20's in Vietnam? So is this starring Colonel Sam?
Or the Sheriff, or maybe both.
>Or the Sheriff
It can't be the Sheriff cause the whole point was he was a schlub that was a big fish in a small pond that underestimated and unpreperared for the insanity Rambo would bring. Making him also a military man runs counterintuitive to the whole point of the first movie.
I don't know or care what e-celeb this is but surely he isn't THAT moronic.
Wasn't Rambo more of a dick in the novels?
The sheriff was always a Korean War vet and there was subtext that his tension with Rambo was seeing him as a disgrace
The Sheriff was a Korean vet, dumbass
I mean it could be about a murderous three year old Rambo...I'd read that.
He makes valid criticisms sometimes but this moron doesn't have the skills to be a writer. His unscripted podcast shows he is just a reactionary.
homie he writes novels. He's more qualified than JJ Abrams autistic Son or Tini Howard
Yeah morons write novels all the time, him, Rowling, doesn't mean their any good.
Rowling is good and massively successful. I know you'll say popularity isn't quality, but I have a feeling the only reason you list her is her opinions bothering you.
No it's because her writing is mediocre.
Like I said, I knew you'd say that. But considering you use the word "reactionary" I can guess your opinion on her views. So you'll understand me doubting that you're making an unbiased assessment of her work.
>Rowling is good
A whole lot of people agree she's good. If nothing else her work was good enough to get tons of people invested in it.
I grew up reading her books and I applaud her for getting kids to read
but her writing is mid at best
popular =/=good
>Rowling
butthurt troony spotted
>he writes novels
So? Onision wrote novels. Mr. Enter too. In fact, a lot of YouTubers wrote books. Doesn't make him special. Besides, pic related won a Locus Award for best Science Fiction novel so the bar is low about what gets published.
b***h everyone writes novels, or you think the guy who writes gay cheeto books is more qualified than movie directors?
>My comic tells the story of Colonel Trautman as a young spec ops soldier on a mission deep behind enemy lines in Korea, and the tough lessons he learns that eventually lead him to form Rambo's unit in Vietnam.
I'm okay with this if only because having more real war comics is interesting
Sounds shit, Give me a comic based on Teasle, this.
The Critical Drinker is friends with Sylvester Stallone and convinced him to let him make a prequel comic to Rambo?
FRICKING HOW
He has to know there will be people foaming at the mouth to rip this apart. Even if it's just mediocre they will never let him live this down
I just hope as a britbo g he rips apart the moronic american military who infamously had high frendly fire rates during the Korean war
I like Drinker and the bar is so low for comic writing that I'm sure it'll be fine. The actual problem with him is that he's stuck in the skeptic era, back when Sargon, Armored Skeptic, etc. were b***hing about feminists and the religious right. We're so far past that on the clown world timeline that all his videos are quaint. The skeptics failed because they were too autistic to realize their opponents weren't stupid, they were fricking evil, and had bought into a set of beliefs that had no brakes. Nothing to keep "here's this new gay sidekick character" from evolving into "if you have a problem with children seeing this mentally ill guy's dick at drag shows, you don't stand with Ukraine." Drinker is a fossil.
For something that’s supposed to “change everything”, I sure feel like I’ve seen this exact scenario play out seventy times by now
>For something that’s supposed to “change everything”
Except he never said this?
Every day is a daily reminder that if Cinemaphile hates something, it must be worth at least checking out.
Hey I also hate YellowFlash, be sure to watch all his shitty wokespotting videos to torture yourself.
Drinkers fanboys are out in full force.
What's the matter? Is the thread you created because you were mad at someone doing something with their lives not going the way you wanted it to?
No I'm just surprised people like this grifter.
Thinking drinker is a homosexual and enjoying your misery are not mutally exclusive, windowlicker-kun.
Nice buzzword.
I'll buy a comic set in the Korean War.
The KW is seriously underrepresented in EVERY media.
Plus with Marvel shelving Punisher someone has to pick up the ball.
I just hope it's a war comic and not some woke bullshit.
>The KW is seriously underrepresented in EVERY media.
I wonder why is that
It's the middle child of America's modern wars. If you want "big damn heroes beating the bad guys and saving the world", you go with WW2. If you want "frick war and frick the establishment for dragging us into this" then that's Vietnam (or, less frequently, WW1). The Korean it's-a-police-action-don't-call-it-a-war was just kind of there; everyone probably would've forgotten about it by now if it wasn't for M*A*S*H using it as an allegory for Vietnam.
2768 backers pledging a total of $222635
Fools and money and, fools and money.
>FRICKING LOL NO ONE IS BUYING THIS SHITTY COMIC BY A YOUTUBER I LIKE
>$222,635 USD by 2,768 backers
>THEY'RE ALL IDIOTS!
okay. and you're smart for not buying it I suppose?
you just seem to be suffering from sour grapes, attributing someone's success to taking advantage of the less intelligent.
Consider that, perhaps, he is in fact not exploiting the low intelligence of his audience, but offering a product that average people want to buy.
No i've seen the Critical Drinkers fans, their stupid and honesty if you're buying a product based on a minor character from a movie who doesn't need a prequel I think I can say there's something wrong about them.
Frick all you need to know about the man is that he's the one responsible for Rambo.
Drinkers a hack who's doing exactly what Hollywood does, telling stories no one wants to read except for the small cult he's gathered.
Stay mad then.
I'm sure your opinions can get a lot of twitter retweets
And I'm sure your comic will just be a bland pointless prequel which will be forgotten in a week
Man, this post reads like the average comicgay.
No wonder their industry is so dead.
Replace comic books with Trump nfts. Do you still think the buyers arent idiots?
Rent free
that's not an argument
It could be good, but then again, he makes most of his money pandering to a certain audience. I think he works for Rambo, but he might miss the point of war is bad. Espically the Korean War was pretty bad but not as bad with some stuff. The Korean War is shown off extremely well in MASH.
why are people getting so rised up towards some guy catering to Chud/incel demographic?
Tumbrlgays have been fellating LGBTQ+ and shippers for the past decade
Because it's the same shit.
I enjoy his videos, but I hate prequels.
>Upcoming comics no one is going to buy
Who the frick in their right mind still buys ANY American comics?
I like Eric Powell (The Goon), but that's pretty much it. American comics as a whole have been a mess for decades at this point and it doesn't seem like it's going to change in the near future.
I don't give a shit about his politics but holy shit his humor is unfunny. He repeats the same five fricking jokes .
>THE MESSAGE
>TATIANA
>SHITE
Wasn't the series based on his experience in Vietnam?
Then again, they dropped all that by the second movie.
Nope Korea.
Comics about killing asiatics and zipperheads are always welcome
Maybe in the 80s and 90s.
Most stories would end with racism being a bigger monster than war.
Op...if you would actually do some research and not be twitter troony. They already funded this book.
Yes we mentioned that, his cult is bad with money.
Chuds and C.H.U.D's
They're not even Cannibals they're a different species.
>Consider that, perhaps, he is in fact not exploiting the low intelligence of his audience, but offering a product that average people want to buy.
The "average person" doesn't read western comics, they want manga.
After all his 'fixing' videos and b***hing about incompetent people being in charge of IP, this better be God tier or else he's not ever living it down
Nostalgia critic except his gimmick is drinking and he also really likes to repeat the same points over and over. He's actually more like mister enter with his editing style now that I think about, except his autism is narrower in scope.
