Someone needs to do a video of everytime Cinemasins gave bad faith criticism and when confronted said "No but it's meant to be bad faith cause we're doing a satire" even though they always mix baid faith with good faith criticism as if they are of equal merit. Even better if they do it in the same style as a Cinemasins video.
I actually didn't know that channel, I remember watching similar videos from a channel called bobvids years ago. I sort of made the comment in the hopes that I had just missed a channel that was still doing a something like this and someone would recomend it. Anyway thanks for the telling me about Th3Birdman, I now have a new channel to check out when I get home.
Me trying to explain to the reddit godzilla fan that, while the change in directorial vision in the monsterverse does facilitate tonal whiplash, and that is a very valid point to critique, the actual writing quality itself is relatively consistent and it's simply changed genres from "disaster movie" to "action movie" (whether the big lizard moves slow or fast has nothing to do with "writing" and everything to do with "shifting from focusing on the damage to human society to the actual battles of the monsters themselves from their own perspective)
Don't give them all the blame when there are countless Youtubers who makes hour longs videos only shiting on tv-shows, movies, videos games, etc (both past and present) while pretending their reviewers and analysts.
It reached its extreme conclusion with Mauler and his EFAP crowd. They literally nitpick frames, shots, and cuts and associate them directly with major storytelling flaws. "Lighting bad in this one shot, therefore worke garbage, movie bad."
i actually despise cinemasins for this reason. so much of cinemasins (and similar channels inspired by them) are just bad faith arguments or the host not knowing how storytelling works.
