>avg view count goes down from 1.1M to 700KFor how much longer can Mike drink like a king?
Who?
You know all they have to do is bring back plinket for the sequels/newwars. Post patreon numbers
>>220573663Red Letter Media ruined Star Wars
>>220573663This would have never happened had they reviewed The Batman.
I like RLM>farmer_standing_up.jpeg
>>220573663Is it me or does their average views seem to be improving lately?
It's impressive they're maintained their audience as much as they have, most of channels from their era have cratered or died
are the any zoomers who have reacted/responded to the plinket videos?
He destroyed Star Wars and his childhood hero Captain Kirk called him an imbecile If he could meet his childhood self he would probably strangle him to spare him the pain.
>>220573908Star Wars destroyed itself. Those movies are awful and trying to bank on nostalgia faggots brought that shit on.
Maybe they could review fucking movies instead of crying about Star Trek for months at a time.
>>220573854Its kinda refreshing to see them do whatever the fuck they want for their videos, keeps them stagnation. Most youtubers after a decade have already formed a very small cult of followers and just do whatever their audience demands, RLM doesnt seem to give a shit on what their audience wants and thats ironically what its audience seems to enjoy the most. Not reviewing batman was the best thing they could have done.
>>220573663I didn't watch rlm at all last year but since the beginning of this month I'm warming up to them again. I'm rewatching some old botw while having dinner.
>>220573898Just repeat the same 4 phrases muddled with fake laughter>ayooo>on god frfr>this is giving unc vibes>mans stood on beenus
>>220573663Is this that On Cinema show that Reddit is always dilating on about?
>>220573663How long before Jay leaves and becomes a guntuber?
>>220573953It is, actually. If you make presumptions from their Superman review and others, it's just Mike and Jay asking Rich if they did shit like that in the comics, he says "kinda", and then they don't really say much. I'd rather them review black spines.
>>220573663Look at meBap bap bap
>>220573719They already did that
>>220573953They've been pretty smart to slowly evolve their content over time to keep it just fresh enough. The movie landscape has changed a ton since they started so stuff like Half in the Bag doesn't make as much sense anymore so it only rarely makes appearances. Watching them and their reaction to things is like watching the evolution of Hollywood the last 15 years and that meta aspect keeps people tuning in the most I think.
>>220573663Turns out like 1/4 of their audience was using adblockers and don't get counted anymore. Patreon numbers didn't go down
>>220573821They had a really dire stretch after the algorithm changes
I think BotW is way too long now
if Jay and Rich keep ranking directors' filmographies, I will be there every time.it's a good format, not only for going through all a director's movies, but giving an idea of which ones are the good ones, and showing how two different movie fans rank them differently
lol
>>220574551It being the 2 of them making lists makes it work. 1 guy make a ranking is always just bait. 2 people discussing their separate rankings makes it an actual thing. Unfortunately, there's only so many of these they can do since they have a pretty specific time period and director type that works for this format. It's hard to explain but it's like if they wouldn't review the movie on Half in the Bag if they were doing that show back then, then it's not the type of director they'd do a ranking list for.
>>220574661My headcanon is Shatner absolutely knew who they were and specifically did this screen grab and post because he knew it would hurt them the most.
>Jay still hasn't seen Tetsuo: The Iron Man

>>220574468>Patreon numbers didn't go downAccording to Graphtreon they were steadily climbing, peaked during covid at over 11000 paid members, and it's dropped since then to like 9500. I hope they've invested their e-begging money well because in another 10 years these guys are toast.
everyone loved the prequels, aside from jar jar, and it wasn't until their reviews that people's opinions went sourthen the sequels happened and prequel memes took offnow everyone likes the prequels again, aside from jar jar
>>220574819They are 10 years away from retirement age anyways so I'm not sure what your jealous ass is trying to say lmao
>>220574821Prequel memes, games, and the Clone Wars saved the prequels but everything RLM said in their original was the popular consensus at the time. It didn't brainwash people- you have the cart before the horse there.
AI prequel memes are the best use of AI. That stupidity level is exactly what the prequels and AI deserve.
>>220574821Even as a 5 year old I thought TPM was the boringiest movie I had ever seen and it put me to sleep. Then I watched AotC a few years later and it was even boringier somehow.
>>220573908>He destroyed Star Wars and his childhood hero Captain Kirk called him an imbecile>If he could meet his childhood self he would probably strangle him to spare him the pain.
>>220574940They won't have enough to retire lmao
>>220575050>prequelfag AIslopit's like puking on a pile of shit
>>220573854They were smart and did their own thing, which people enjoyed, and have mostly stuck to that.Other channels got into a hotbed of controversy and died on the vine.
>think you're above cinema>don't review the batman out of spite>all your fans keep asking you to review the batman>even big donators on Patron set a sub goal for reviewing the batman>goal is reached, still don't review the batman>don't give money back either>every time someone brings up redditlettermedia and the batman, laugh at their face>"wtf why are my views dropping???"Reviewing The Batman has been some kind of weird hill that Mike has chosen to die on, when you can tell Jay couldn't care less.
>>220575533>Reviewing The Batman has been some kind of weird hill that Mike has chosen to die on, when you can tell Jay couldn't care less.Jay was the one who said he refuses to watch it because the people suggesting it seem like douchebags like the people who told him he should watch Boondock Saints which is a pretty personal insult to a large section of their audience. You couldn't just say the movie looks like shit or something. You had to call people douchebags for enjoying a decent crimeflick.
>>220575533>batfag mad as helllmao
>>220574821I hate zoomers so much it's unrealThe prequels were never liked until the sequels came out, which made them look good by comparison
>>220574821Not true, prequels were shit but at least they felt like star wars movies
>>220574821Damn, Mike is too powerful....
>>220574715>>220574661it's not william shatner, it's some immature PR guy who works for many old famous people
>>220576125PR handlers tend to be more careful about what they post on social media, this is 100% Shatner
QRD on Mike ? I only know him because of Mewgenics
>>220573663They were chugging along nicely for a over a decade with just 300-400k views with under a million subs. They only exploded in popularity in last few years, they'll be fine, people will still throw money at their friend simulator
>>220573663>Every single nu show/flick is fucking garbage written by AI or worse, women>Why don't my movie friends have anything to talk about?Truly a mystery for the ages.
>>220574821>everyone loved the prequelshilarious
>>220573663Picrel is worse. He was getting $5k a month from patreon and all he had to do was occasionally shit out a review. His lazy, emo ass couldn't even manage that.
I got bored of RLM and stopped watching them a few years ago and just the other day started checking out their videos again. It's cool to see them still thriving with most videos getting around a million views. It looks like they've started finally doing reviews of iconic shit people have been asking them for years like the raimi spiderman movies and galaxy quest. They just put out a video on the crank movies a few weeks ago and i remember emailing mike like 15 years ago asking if they would do videos on the crank movies.
Remember when they did that haunted house ghost adventures thing and it was supposed to kickstart a bunch of novel RLM content? Whatever happened there
>>220577233Definetely.
>>220573663They could pump those numbers up by complaining about historically accurate blacks, centaurs, women, gods and gays more
>>220574821Every reddit space corresponds with a deep penetrating thrust upon a giant black dildo
Ep1 sucked, no batman review is hilarious, spoony bans people from chat for saying shit like "have a good day"
>>220574821/threadshitting on the prequels was a retard take and it killed their whole channel. in fact, all of their reviews are shit takes, only their meme reviews of 80's VHS movies were fun to watch.
>>220574821my dad hated rots in the theater while we were watching iti thought it was kino
>>220579169You zoomers don't like the prequels you like ragebaiting you like the prequels. They're dog shit like exactly like zoomer comedy and media.
>>220577752Hell yeahYou like this repressed white faggotOw yeah Take it good
>>220580292for the one reddit spacing
>>220580672
>>220573663Also all these YouTubers make it as filmmakers like Kane and Curry and even markiplier.
>>220574821you dont like the prequels, you like ironic prequel memesyoure balding now zoomie, you arent 20 anymore
>>220580782I loved the prequels back then and I love them now. Mike lied.
>>220577233Spoony one hurts the most I think, I still watch his reviews on archive regularly, the guy, wow, what a fucking once in a decade of its time talent
i don't even know what the fuck "prequel memes" are, when people use it like it's a term. i remember "DO NOT WANT" and so on.liked the films. saw them all at the cinema. had a great time, rewatch the prequel trilogy once a year. simple as.
>>220573854It really is. While plinkett is a funny character and gimmick, the rest of their content are just really surface level discussions of movies. The most insight they have is Jay name dropping movie people he knows 99% won’t have ever heard of. I think their greatest asset is not caring about whatever the internet is currently shitting it’s pants over, which ironically probably makes them look like a breath of fresh air.
>>220580920Hi, JayBeing a coward and not covering current events is exactly why people think you guy's are spineless cvcks
>>220580833"Prequel memes" refers to a successful psyop, orchestrated by Disney after they bought the rights to Star Wars, to convince Generation Z that they had nostalgic affection for the prequels.
>>220574821I too enjoy historical revisionism.
>>220573663why do you get off on things failing? What kind of loser are you?
>>220573663Their retirement fund was probably secured years ago. It's a good thing that they just do what they want rather than purely play the youtubes click game.Why would you care about this anyway?
>>220574274Considering the sad state of guntube, anytime! I heard he's in a gay relationship with YouTuber hoplopfheil!
>>220574821>now everyone likes the prequels again, aside from jar jarspeak for yourself, dunce
>>220577752uhhhuhhhooohfuckuuuhoh fuckyesfuck meharderuhhhhhhoh shitI'm gonnafucking cuuuuuumuuhuhhnunfyesyes!YES!FUCK I'M CUMINGDON'T STOPFUCKING MEUUUUUHFUUUUUUUUUUK
>>220576168yeah guy, such a scandalous posting
>>220581238the spineless cvcks belonging to you guy?
>>220581760whatever you say, you fruity little pretentious faggotgo suck Mike's dick for a sense of approval
it's weird seeing so many people claim nobody liked the prequels until the sequels came out. it's almost like they're too young to remember a world before the rlm reviews existed.
>canadians>kevin home alone>the fag from the boysit's not working. Your special guest stars shtick. Go back to the roots you lazy fucks
>>220582554Nobody likes the prequels in any time.
>>220582554Back when the prequels came out I had one trekkie friend and he detroyed them left and right while we were naive kids doing laser sounds with the mouth

>double-bladed lightsaberi'm convinced lightsaber fatigue has made zoomers unable to understand how absolutely jawdroppingly cool this shit was when it was new
>>220582758Sure anon, but "when it was new" is a super specific context that only a people of a generational window can even remember. In modern terms babyfigs could simply not comprehend the absolute HYPE TRAIN the phantom menace had. Not just with paid marketing, but the cultural juggernaut that the trilogy and the media universe build around it was at the time. I was born the same year jedi came out. And really a lot of people were in shell shock or full cope mode over the flaws in the phantom menace (jar jar and baby anakin being easy targets to vent on). There was still a lot of hope in upward trajectory, but then attack of the clones is just kind of boring dour confused wheel spinning until the space battle at the end that can set up the last movie. Sith at least paid off on action and adventure, even if its also kind of dumb and confused wheel spinning until it can place all the characters exactly where they will be until we see them almost 20 years later in ANH. Also it spawned a generation of obnoxious light saber kiddies who just wanted to see mindless action with glow-stick weapons of EVERY variety. Lightsaber nunchucks? They exist. Lightsaber tonfa? Yup. Light saber Spears? loads of em mateLight sabers with light sabers built in them? Sure, why the fuck not! Once you open the door there's no turning back and soon you have bleach in space with a rave aesthetic.
>>220575982>which made them look good by comparisonNah, they're pretty terrible in their own ways, but the force awakens was at least passable.
>>220583062Making a bad version of a new hope is considered passablelol
>>220583096It is, because it had the potential to make the series at least entertaining. The problem is they had no plan for a trilogy as a whole, they started throwing shit at the wall to see what stuck, and we ended up with the other two clownshows. At least the Prequels were a well orchestrated carnival of diarrhea.
>>220573663>that fat fuck isnt dead yet?
>>220573663noone posted this yet?
>>220583135Making a bad movie means there's potentialwut
>>220583096>Making a bad version of a new hope is considered passableNo, but if you're trying to reset your franchise its not an awful way to start. And just like star trek 09 a lot of its flaws could be passable as long as the next installment manages to solidify the franchise and do its own thing. In trek we got Into Darkness as a follow up, and for star wars we got the last jedi. Both of which were deeply unsatisfying to fans or members of a new audience because they're dumb bad messy movies that think they're going to get the same benefit of the doubt that the reboot had when really that is the movie that MUST stick the landing.
>>220583178Reset your franchise???Filoni did the heavy lifting by spending a lil less than a decade rebuilding trust with the fans for you to flush it straight back down the toilet
>>220574821>aside from jarjarKeep telling yourself that. Jarjar can be easily ignored whereas the awful writing of all 3 prequels can't be ignored.
what am I even watching atp with these guys?at least with shit like avgn I knew it was just inconsequential garbage about some 'retro' shit from a million years ago most of these guys' fans unironically think these fat clowns are some sort of authority on film>when they're biggest achievement is 'Space Cop'
>>220583157Shows nobody watches don't get 7 fucking seasons. You clearly have no horse in that race, why even make this pic.
>>220583228>for youNigger I didn't do anything. I'm explaining the corporate logic at play here.
>>220583249Jar jar can be ignored??? He dominates every scene you see him in, you literally can't ignore him, it's literally impossible
>>220583157why would anyone post your schizo ms paint collage?
>>220583333You're the nigger, defending the indefensible, you are the corporation
>>220583167Oversimplifying arguments so you can handle them is a sign of idiocy.
>>220583376I'm not defending anything. I'm telling you what their reasoning was.
>>220573771this
>>220583379Read the room, where are we
They are probably bringing in a couple $100k every year from space cop alone
>>220583754This starwars loving individual can save america by liking the mandalorian movie
All I wanted was to hear the opinion of "The Wizard" on "The Batman". The magic is over. Farewell, RLM.
>>220583754If they actually believed that A New Hope was only good because a Black woman of color edited the badly produced original version made by a white man, then why didn't they give Space Cop to a BIPOC to be turned into a good movie?
every appearance of aids moby permanently removes 10K views from all future videos
>>220583892>a Black woman of color editedAre you retarded anon? Do you know who Marcia Lucas even is?
>>220583892They say the editor saved the movie I bet they learned it was a black woman years later after this opinion became a solid memeAnd I agree 300% the editor saved the movie, space cop needs a re release by those kung fu nigerians
>>220583975Some bed wench colonized by Lucas's BWC?
>>220574551Oh yes, I love watching Rich go full contrarian. It makes him so unique and smart.
>>220574821>”I know that you actually lived through that period while it was happening and clearly remember it, but let me - a zoomer who was in diapers at the time - correct you on how things REALLY were.”Getting real sick of you types…
>>220575566Not wanting to watch something but then people insisting that you HAVE to watch it because they like it only makes you more resentful and annoyed toward that thing. I’ve never heard of this Batman situation because I have a life, but my read is that it’s some parasocial whales trying to cash bully their internet “friends” to watch a thing that they like so they can pretend like they’re friends.
>>220581326Uh source?
>>220573663Go Woke Go Broke
>>220573743>Red Letter Media ruined Star WarsCare to explain how? The RLM guys weren't even in first grade back in 1983.
