I was looking up DasBoSchitt because I was curious. He career unsurprisingly has been driven to a halt as well, hiatus as he put it. He's yet another of MauLer's close orbiters that have more subscribers than him, over double.
I find the fact that Mauler's editor is paying him hilarious. Also he's a DSP enabler, which makes sense given his past as a DSP compilation Youtuber.

As far as I know, he has a real life job that has been causing him hiatus. Surprised he still donates money to DSP.
 
You can enjoy some fanservice every so often, as a treat.
Fanservice is a lot like having desert for dinner. You should only do it rarely and make sure not to over do it.
That is wildly off-topic, but I'll bite.

The sjw agenda started long before Trump was in office and films like Ghostbusters 2016 were released before he was elected. There is no way it, in particular, was a response to him. The rise in feminist and woke media is more a result of shifting societal trends and producers looking for lazy ways to score brownie points with the current young generation.

While there has definitely been media in the last couple of years explicitly alluding to Trump (Harvey Birdman's recent special and the book Hark by Sam Lipsyte come to mind) you need to remember Hollywood, and media in general, has always had a leftist slant. This is nothing new and you would have gotten a majority of progressive movies regardless of whoever was in office.
I thibk most Trump take down where relegated to television instead of movies. It because those are easy to produce in a quick time frame. Unlike movies that take a lot of planing, effort and time to get out the door. I do think most of the woke trend started around the last year of Obama's presidency.
 
The awful filmmaking just seems to blend together. I just thought of all the big franchises in the last few years that have died. Alien Covenant and The Predator hurt my intelligence more than Transformers 4.
Sure but those 2 in particular didn't have anything to do with politics.
Alien Covenant could have been decent if people didn't complain about the lack of Xenomorphs in Prometheus, forcing Ridley Scott to abandon his original idea for a trilogy of movies.
Predator was a direct result of the success of the MCU and Fox (pre-Disney boyout) wanted to turn one of their most recognizable brands into a clone of it.

As for MauLer:
I've tried to watch the Underwater video but, even as background noise, I just couldn't take it.
They don't know what a rip off is, they don't get why characters having more characterization makes them better characters, they don't get the basics of filmmaking.
They don't need to go to film school but it's clear that they watch so few movies that basic tropes with minor changes look like completely different things to them.
That's probably why they claim that the MCU has so much variety, even though it's just "weirdo in a suit fights a weirdo in a suit" with different skins and with a few words replaced in the scripts.
That's why The King of Comedy is so much different from Joker to them, even though it's basically the same thing with a few details changed, which makes them see it as something completely different because they're so obsessed with details.

No. Mauler is a sperg, do not get me wrong but there is a reason he is such as sperg towards Quinton.
Simpton v Longman is an autistic slapfight with a long history. The reason Q does not mention Mauler as much as Mumkey is because he started it.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=AOJgvhKrNbc:218636:29 in case timestamp does not work.
TL; DR: Before EFAP existed Quinton was already beefing with Mauler and Rags over the sequels. He even made a video mocking Mauler that backfired on him.
IHE makes a video on liking TLJ, Rags responds missing the point and TRO jumps to something he is not prepared to with someone with his own agenda. Q used his time on this video to slander both of them (mind that Mauler was not even involved on the response) and refused to acknowledge to this day he did, reason the video is unlisted.

Then TRO had to go and respond for that himself in EFAP.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZsnWteT4dVQTL; DW: TRO whimpers the whole time. Poor bastard sounds like an abused housewife and admits he does not (at least until that point) check what his editors send him back.
Muh "that was not in the script".

Since, TRO has barely interacted with Quinton and they even had a public falling out. TRO's bf, j aubrey, told Q to fuck off so likely the friendship is long dead.
inb4 Quinton birthed EFAP. Partially right, Wolf's relation to Q is only the "Hello my ewoks".
Oh my, I'd be lying if I didn't say this thread made me open my eyes on how pathetic some of these "1337 critic's". What a bunch of fucking spergs lmao, then again they quote tweets so they can have their fans attack them in the comments which is truly pathetic and immature.
 
It seems Batman v. Superman, Justice League, and Aquaman are inevitable as well. I hate the fact I was right about this trend. I honestly was convinced by other posters they wouldn't stoop so low to do movies every reviewer and their mother talked about ad nauseam more than half a decade ago.
Prepare for more forced laughter and pointless effects. This time Southpaw and Capital-O Opinions are present.
I wonder if they will do bad non-MCU Marvel movies such as Daredevil, Fant4stic or the Amazing Spiderman movies to balance it out?

EDIT: I was right. They are planning to go through every DCEU movie. They want to get to Justice League before the Synder cut releases.
They are already anticipating conflict with Snyder/DC fanboys. I'm sure there will be a few EFAPs on some of them.
Another ne thing that should be noted is that the Editor (the Meme Repository) places Superman Lore from the comics on the screen when the EFAP crew doesn't understand it. I suppose that is a nice touch but it really shows how little they know.
It feels like they are grasping at straws when watching this. I bet in another world, they would have liked this movie considering how this movie is a rejection of the Comic Book Superman for an 'edgy and realistic' one.

Meme Repository is the MVP this time round. No joke. The EDITOR is giving better and more informed criticism of this movie through clips and inserts. It's bizarre. MauLer and co. are barely talking about anything of substance. If anything, I think they would have liked this movie if they didn't have context. It is consistent in narrative and they don't care at all about the comics or the logic within them. They would probably agree with Snyder in his dislike of classic Superman and his desire to make him 'realistic'. Most people disliked this movie for things outside of the plot, which was relatively consistent. I'm not very far in, however, so that might change.

They are definitely turning their annoying nitpicks up to eleven for these.

EDIT: I reloaded the page and got the message that the Video has been claimed by Warner Bros.

This is actually worse than the Mandalorian. Outside of things they are parroting from other reviewers, they are basically grasping at straws to say anything funny or worthwhile. It's actually kind of pathetic, which makes this EFAP Movie somewhat entertaining to watch. You can really tell when watching that if MauLer and co. had been casual DC fans, they would have applauded this like Angry Joe and others did.

EDIT: I reloaded the page and got the message that the Video has been claimed by Warner Bros.
My video premiere is still going, so I will keep up the commentary in case something happens.
Now they are praising the Superman learning to fly scene, saying it is better than 1984's
They said they will probably watch the older Superman movie(s) too. That might be interesting, considering how they react to camp in comics.
The Meme Repository continues to be better at commentary than his masters. He uses imagery of Reeves Superman, the cartoons, and the comics to contrast this Superman and it is very potent, as well as interesting information about various things.
He's also planning to do the Matrix trilogy as well before the new Matrix comes out. They really are jumping on trends in the laziest ways possible, with glorified reaction videos. If anything, I'm supporting WB for striking them. They should actually make a reviews for once.
It is funny seeing MauLer expecting the plot to tell him immediately what is going on, even though the plot will tell him later. Fringy is constantly trying to explain things to MauLer that he would find out if he waited a bit.

It's a shame WB struck this because if anything is proving that MauLer is a total hack that could easily be replaced, it's this.

If they will be covering the Snyder Cut of Justice League, does that mean they will all shell out money to HBO Max or pirate it? If it is the former, they probably will also do Godzilla vs. Kong since they covered KOTM.

Drinker has already done a video on just the trailer.

I don't want to be that guy that says someone doesn't get something, but that video really makes me question how much the EFAP crew are familiar with the Godzilla franchise. He complains that the western movies are moving away from the anti-nuclear message, despite the fact that the Japanese movies did that after the second one, hell even more recent movies like Shin are more about natural disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes. He says he's more interested in Godzilla destroying cities than fighting other monsters, does he even know what franchise he's talking about? Fuck sake the reason this movie is being made is because of the original Showa era GZ vs KK movie. He complains about the special child who can communicate with Kong and that the human characters have no arc, like I know it's a running joke to make fun of how forgettable and annoying the human characters are in tokusatsu monster movies, but they are mostly there to get the plot rolling so Godzilla can throw down with Ghidorah, or Hedorah so they aren't meant to be complex multilayered people. Sorry for the long post but that video really makes me think he's literally only seen the first movie and is making the usual hack statements made by people who've only seen the first movie. @Shieldman was right in that they're trying to apply their "standards" to something that doesn't fit that mold. I'm almost tempted to wish that they would look at other tokusatsu like Kamen Rider, Super Sentai or Ultraman just to see what kind of retarded shit they'd say.

New EFAP. They are continuing their DCEU Trend with a Man of Steel Video. I'll watch it later.

That would be expecting them to do any preliminary research or have any background in the topics they discuss. The fact that Drinker even bothered to watch/read up on the original Godzilla at all is a testament to the fact he is marginally better than the main EFAP crew.

Even then I think he literally only watched the first one, cause that comment about preferring Godzilla destroying cities rather than fighting monsters is so baffling to me. From the second Showa era movie onwards Godzilla has either fought or teamed up with another monster in his movies. Aside from the very first the only other movie not to have another monster in it is Shin, and that was because it was trying to be a reboot. Mauler and co. really should just stick to superhero stuff cause these ventures into other genres is really exposing their lack of variety in what they've seen.

Superhero movies expose them as well. None of them, especially the main crew, have even touched a comic book or know anything about the history of the characters outside of the basics. All they know is from the movies or a couple things they heard or read on a wiki article once. You have to understand, outside of a few non-mainstream exceptions that take their fancy every once in a while, they only have the most basic and most mainstream knowledge in regards to almost everything. What makes this worse is that they act like authorities. On top of that they refuse to expand their horizons or even do basic research on subjects they are talking about. I really can't call it anything other than sloth and arrogance.

Which makes me wonder what the breaking point with their audience would be, like we saw them get some push back on Mandalorian, and Jay got ratioed on twitter for saying the original spiderman comics had bad dialogue, but that begs the question of how much would they have to talk out of their ass and to what degree to get actual blow back from their audience.

MauLer himself is already past his peak. He does not have new viewers coming in to watch EFAP. Who would? Over 100 podcasts that are several hours long? Who wants that? The only non-core fanbase that ever watches MauLer is when he makes new reviews on his main channel. The Minis/Movies do not count. They are on his second channel and rarely have views over the tens of thousands. They are only watched by people who were already watching him in the first place. This core fanbase is very loyal to the EFAP crew, and while they may have misgivings about the other members of EFAP, they probably see MauLer as basically infallible. They watch EFAP mostly for him. Even if some things and people on the podcast aren't as good, he's still there to anchor them. They have a parasocial relationship with them. I honestly don't think they will turn entirely on EFAP unless something, very, very big happens and their image of MauLer shatters, showing the Callum underneath. And even then a good portion will still stick with them. Even if there is a schism where some of the hosts leave, the core view base will stay as long as MauLer is there. So for now EFAP will just slowly hemorrhage viewers forever, until all the people who know better are gone and only the fools are left.

That's just my opinion from what I'm seeing right now. I could be giving the audience too little credit.

What the fuck :story:

I only have a surface-level knowledge of kaiju stuff and even I know that's total horseshit, the kind of nonsense complaint that really tanks your credibility. But I'm sure they'll treat it as gospel on the EFAP and brand anyone who disagrees as a subhuman.
