I felt his videos became more soulless and cringey after the movie's release. I could go to any video pre-movie like when he did a review of the board game Mr Bucket with Mike or where they goofed on the Inspector Gadget menu screen and still find it funny then he makes videos like hiking up the Rocky mountain and then pussying very cringely.

I would have done a mockumentary style with the ET landfill plot with just him and mike, with boots and a few other as side characters. Investigate the lore, do a bullshit oakisland style search. End it with someone getting an anal probe.

While ROB is somewhat contrived as a villain, the episode about him is a great culmination of the Nerd's arc. No need for a movie.

When James released The Dragon In My Dreams, I had just moved 400 miles away from my hometown to start University in a large city with my high-school sweetheart, and it had a really profound impact on me. His story about letting go of his childhood lined up so well with my own story that it was an example of profound cosmic synchronicity, and I will always cherish that video.

And even back then I thought his duck walk at the end was kinda awkward.

Hes so sincere and its really authentic too, this is why people liked him long after the character wore off. I dont think he realizes it either and while I do find him kind of corny, his haters come across as way worse.

There was that channel that just focused on hating him and it just came across as gay nerds trying to be mean to another nerd to make themselves feel better, but James is living their dream and people like him.

Is he still working with the fat slobs?

He still does some work and collaborations with them, but he's mostly back to running the channel and making episodes himself.
>>
>>217347014
I'm not gonna lie, as forced as truther memes are, I do find many of them funny. I like the duck walk, I giggle whenever James calls mountains mowdens, Loco Bandito is my shit, but for me, it's all in good fun. I still love James, though he's way past his prime as far as the Nerd is concerned.
>>
>>217347039
Screenwave got the memo from fans that the slobs weren't wanted. Justin went back to just handling business and Kieren (editor) quit. The recent videos have been a huge improvement and James has gone off autopilot and is actually trying again, Mike is helping out with the videos too. They'll never compare to the older videos but I'll still watch them. That period with the fatties was such shit though. Just a total miscalculation letting them have direct creative input.

for me, its "woof" for wolf

Is it really true that james wife cucked him with multiple black dudes and mike filmed it?
>>

I get why he did he went through that period, it was bigger budget and he had a crew so it was like making a movie every episode (his passion) but yeah I'm glad he realized it wasn't working and went back to basics.

Not sure why he does those weird things with certain words.

The AVGN movie came out about 5 years too late. I unironically think this shit would've been more acceptable in 08' or 09' but doing it in 2014? AVGN was way past his expiration date at this point in the terms of appeal or excuse for this level of "quality"
>>
>>217346399
I don't know why he can't be content with being massively influential in online video making and tries to stubbornly be a hollywood film director.

James confirms he wasnt just autistic but normied his way out of tard school and went on to achieve his wildest dreams while they spent their autistic superpowers sperging out over him being a weirdo. Now he's just a goofy suburban dad who works in his garage and his own mid life crisis cover band to LARP at conventions.

Hes a blessed SPED

I genuinely don't get it. I thought Rex Viper was kinda fun. Why do people take a blatantly tongue-in-cheek side project so seriously?
>>

They think that it's taking time away from AVGN and he'd make more episodes if he wasn't doing that. Which he probably wouldn't be.

James haters I think just have a form of arrested development, parasocial weirdos or something.

I grew up with AVGN. I was 15 in 06', you watched this guy cause high quality content on YouTube at the time was super novel and being vulgar was funny. Like AVGN and other people on the internet (myself included) grew "attached" to creators, felt very passionate about them. Then as time goes on, things change, the content gets weaker, the rise of lolcow culture in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Fanboys start to evolve into detractors because things weren't how they used to be.
Hell people used to fucking hate Mike to death back in the day and now he's a beloved figure, hell CinemassacreTruth started because there was a theory that Mike kicked Bootsy out of the channel. Hell the 2011-2014 era of /tv/ threads about AVGN and TGWTG were always purely shitposting about these people.

Things change, people can be fickle.
>>
>>217347496
>arrested development
There was always this thing where once kids reached the age of like 8, they would super hate on the toddler stuff they used to watch as a way to showoff how mature and not a baby they were. I think something similar happens here where kids reach the age of like 18-20 so they super hate on the stuff they used to love as a 15 year old to show off what a cool 20 year old they are sort of thing.
>>
>>217347323
It's not the band, its the fact that the AVGN quality dropped, way before the band even existed.
Compare the Texas Chainsaw Massacre to anything made after around R.O.B the robot and the decline is evident.
Ppl mock the band as a side effect of this.

One of the most pleb moments of my life was that I hated the Inspector Gadget Minecraft video when it was new, not realizing until years later that it was simply ahead of its time.

I was cringing at myself a decade ago for ever liking Doug Walker, but this past year I have revisited his old stuff, just to have something comfy to watch before bed, and most of it actually hold up really well. Sure, there are occassions where Doug confuses loud and angry for funny, but he was genuinely witty in his prime.

True. At least James made a lot of good stuff. Channel Awesome has made literally nothing good.

His movie still sucked donkey dick though

Still baffles me that the AVGN movie was not a low-budget comedy film in the style of a Kevin Smith movie like Clerks or even his own series like Board James. He already had the premise of the Nerd working at a retro game store and side-characters like Mike, Bootsy, Guitar Man, etc. Throw in some absurdist horror/sci-fi stuff with the plot and it would be a perfectly acceptable movie that is in-line with the show. But no. We didn't get that at all
>>
>>217345980
It wasn't necessarily bad per se but you can see he had to compromise (as all Hollywood directors have) and the product was not as good as he had imagined.
>>
>>217346274
Design by (((committee)))

>>217347562
This is very true. The sincere love for stuff like FFX or KH2 that turned into "LOOK AT THESE RETARDED GAMES" only to get fully embraced later in life.

I somehow didn't know about this until recently and it blows my mind because AVGN is something I pretty much "grew out of" at like 14 or 15 years old. I still go back and watch his old stuff once in awhile but I can't imagine seething over this guy's every action because he made some entertaining videos 15-20 years ago and then went on cruise control.
>>
>>217347958
It was bad and he didn't have to compromise anything because it was an independent film that he had complete creative control over. The problem was that he aimed way too high instead of keeping it simple.
