What does /tv/ think about Mauler?
>>221233574I don't.
>>221233574Good. I rewatch his essays every year.

>>221233472despite being an alcoholic I always thought his drinking gimmick was cringe
>>221233574I dislike his way of analysing movies but he is very consistent with it and most importantly he strikes me as sincereHe likes what he likes, and provides arguments for why he likes it, with no concern for whether it is part of an agenda or not, and he tends to hold accountable his friends too for itYou can probably take out sections of his scripted videos as they are and they would make for decent to good nerdwriter videos of old, but nobody is going to find that out because you have parse through hours of "getting all my references straight" to get to those nuggets of analysisAutistic to a fault but perfectly benign amd at times entertaining
>>221233591This is a 50 year old man
>>221233472he's right about everything I've seen him critique anyway.>>221233536>i think transgender is a biological reality and not just a delusional belief system for low test males and low estrogen females who don't fit in and want to feel special somehow.lol

The movies they like tend to be the same slop they complain about.
>>221233518>agree with someone's opinions on movies>this means you legitimately view them as "a hero"????
>>221234426It's almost as if they like good action-comedies, and dislike bad ones. But that can't be it, that would make no sense.
>>221233536A Nerdrotic/Drinker thread and a mere 4 posts in we have an unironic Tranny or Tranny-Cultist in the Chat whining about """transphobia"""... Amazing...

>>221234474>wokenessI meant """THE MESSAGE"""
>>221234474I mean the experts all agreed, Mixtape is the best game ever made.
>>221234474Yeah bro, clearly Mixtape is a misunderstood gem.
>>221233574I stopped watching him once he complained that Spider-Man could've killed Doc Ock with 1 punch and ended the movie right there. He has a fundamental misunderstanding of the language of film and is autistic.>>221233591This is quite literally the best case scenario for a mainstream action/blockbuster movie in 2026. It IS going to be slop, so it may as well be enteraining slop that doesn't hit you over the head with politics.
>>221233472Nerdrotic > The Drinker > power gap > Geeks & Gamers > The Quartering
>>221234474I hope they churn out a dozen of these paid-to-be-reviewed nostalgic feeling sink games. I hope this level of game design never ceases just so these shitty game company's can keep losing money.
>>221234510>I stopped watching him once he complained that Spider-Man could've killed Doc Ock with 1 punch and ended the movie right there. He has a fundamental misunderstanding of the language of film and is autistic.If you write a script where the logical conclusion of the scenarios you've set-up are inexplicably circumnavigated solely because the characters doing what is logical would be "uncinematic", then you have failed as a script-writer. You're supposed to write something is conforms to the language of film but ALSO simultaneously makes logical & narrative sense.
>>221234586Mauler's critiques are retarded in the context of those movies. Spider-Man doesn't even kill people.
>>221234540>the quivering that lowat least his thumbnails are always entertaining
>>221233591I like the Mauler plushie
>>221233472>fantastic four isn't woke guysI swear they get payed at this point. ff was woke trash that undermined all the male cast members so that 2 girlbosses could safe the day.
>>221233530Surely any critique is "grift" then? Because you have to watch it or read it to critique it
>>221234810Very reddit
>>221234807No grift only grift when me no like what grift say
>>221234810So, what are they wrong about?
>>221234876It's not about right or wrong, it's about my feelings getting hurt.
>>221234810Don't forget the bold impact font and thumbnail but anyone with eyes can instantly spot that.>>221234852>>221234876>Make nothing but the same derivative formulaic content over and over>pretending to be outraged over insignificant BS because it brings in clicks>Spread unsubstantiated rumors some retard made up on /v/ or /tv/ without citing sources and never offer corrections when disproven (Quartering is most guilty of this)
>>221233472They're too narrowly focused on the purity of the source material but at the same time they also often expect it to mature along with them. There's also an overfocus on "prestige" even in places where it clearly doesn't belong. This all leads to a hostility toward the entertainment preferences of the casual male audience and young guys in particular but also to the contradiction of having to overlook woke feminist elements as long as they feel the source material is sufficiently respected. It's why Hollywood can actually pander to them with things like He-Man or Mortal Kombat II but not to your average teenage boy.
>>221234810All of this is slop I’ve simply never cared about because I don’t need faggots telling me about le woke in movies I’m never going to watch and /tv/ already informs me of such things ever since Finn’s ugly nigger face jumped scared everyone 11 years ago and mind broke the board.
>>221233472Whenever a movie is a hit or at least not a box office bomb whether it's woke or not. Captain Marvel or Wicked or Avatar 2 etc
>>221234936>>Make nothing but the same derivative formulaic content over and overSo you must consume their stuff a lot? Surely if the hollywood studios and netflix and making shows with the same problems people have then thr critiques are going to be similar?
>>221234947>Rings of power >Acolyte >Starfleet academy >casual male audience and young guys in particular
>>221233530The reason why all these people keep making the same argument thirty times regardless of whether you agree with it or not is because a large portion of the audiance wants that stuff. And they deliver.That's how the machine and the algorithm work.
Professional YouTubers will say anything to keep their job so they aren't worth listening to.
>>221234969When you watch them live you can occasionally catch the disdain of things that actually appeal to those audiences like Anderson's RE, Snyder, Bay, etc.
>>221234947>They're too narrowly focused on the purity of the source material but at the same time they also often expect it to mature along with them.Drinker really enjoyed the first season of Arcane, and even though he was embarrassed and put the review on the back channel, he really enjoyed Sinners. Many of them aren't really that "purity of the source"; they obviously prefer a certain kind of white, macho, virile '90s entertainment, but they're fully willing to accept quality entertainment even if it breaks the mold.
>>221233472these two sirs are not reviewing enough movies from bharat
>>221234618>Spider-Man doesn't even kill peopleAnd? He's not saying thag he should kill doc oc and be done with it because it's logical to do soHe's saying that we are shown spiderman fighting and punching him and he just tanks the hit when, being a normal non super powered guy, he should realistically be instantly be knocked out by those hits
>>221235274He pulls back his punches considerably + it would make for a lame film and fight sequence if he just won in 1 hit. Again, Mauler prioritizes logic over fiction and the suspension of disbelief.
>>221235274NTA, but historically Spider-man all longtime fans know how much Spider-man holds back. he should know that too
>>221233472Nerdotic just copies drinkers opinions but is so whiny and faggy about everything he's impossible to watch.
>>221235124>they obviously prefer a certain kind of white, macho, virile '90s entertainmentIf Hollywood were to bring back those early 2000s IP reimaginings for a casual (young) male audience I firmly believe these guys would be standing shoulder to shoulder with feminist culture warriors to poison and kill it. It's only their motivation that's different.
>>221235313>Mauler prioritizes logic over fiction and the suspension of disbeliefYes he does. Consistently so. You can either argue that he is inaccurate, and he will engage you on those, or you can just say "it doesn't bother me" byt at that point there is no discussion to be had. Suspension of disbelief is entirely subjective. It is probably unreasonable to discard the entirety of citizen kane because the nurse couldn't possibly have heard kane's last words from the next room, but if someone is taken out of the movie by something like that you can't invalidate that, much like he can't take away your enjoyment of the spiderman 2 (that he likes as well btw) just because he identified this objective problem with itHe is autistic to a fault, but he is consistent with it, which puts him in a different field from other reviewers who are just vibing for the most part and more or less wear their bias on the sleeve and the best you can hope is to find the one whose taste is closer to yours and so you can rely on their opinionMind you, I agree with you that his way of engaging with movies is faulty
>>221235274even one punch man doesn't end its stories in one punch. mauler is a retard
>>221235510>I firmly believe these guys wouldAnd on what basis do you say this?
>>221235566What my e-daddy says about them.
