The clipless reviews were a bit of a rough start with Jurassic World and my main criticism of that was I felt Doug was yelling the review too much, but he’s improved on that quite nicely in later clipless reviews. I think the fandom here *really* needs to understand that YouTube’s copyright rules have drastically changed the way people are doing reviews and need to cut Doug some slack if he and the CA crew want to keep the lights on in the studio especially now that blip is gone. I enjoyed Fury Road, but Mad Max isn’t one of my top film franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but after this review, I’m gonna get my girlfriend and I to rewatch all the movies this weekend. It really shows how much more effort Doug and the crew are putting into their productions and it shows. Gen Y is still buying our leftovers (sorry, but it is true)….įinally finished it and I have to say this is one hell of an excellent review and probably the best of the clipless reviews. The age of nostalgia is passing…Gen X is growing up. #Mad max fury road kickass movieI suppose he could do a rant about GI Joe the Movie (I frankly would love to see that, though I suspect his brother was more pumped about that TV premier than he, based on age), but the audience as a whole isn’t as interested. I am not sure if his character will carry on without these sorts of relevant videos. The market is changing, and Doug is changing with it. I don’t enjoy these quite as much as the truly nostalic episodes, but Doug is also getting older, and his nostalgia isn’t the same as those younger than him who barely remember the Disney Afternoon and don’t recall Transformers in theaters. Toss in there hosting issues, and you have a whole rats nest for them to deal with to keep this a profitable venture. The production values are fantastic (for a NC video), the “plot” if you will in engaging, and it is a breath of fresh air over a classic rant. It’s just something they decided to do, and they did it well. Now can we stop giving him classic fan stereotype fodder, y’all? Some of the unironic “OMG he sucks !!1” soundoffs are just too brain-break-y, really… wouldn’t say it’s cashing in at the height of the popularity, because I, personally, know no one who has mentioned this movie unless prompted. It’s hit or meh or miss, but overall, still watchable despite flaws. But overall, he’s still passing the grade. As a long-runner by now, like the Simpsons, SNL, Family Guy, etc. (And by now the NC’s worked on several levels, baseline dude-staring-into-a-camera vlog reviews up to hours of styrofoam and makeup and greeen screen almost-movies-themselves-skit reviews and all. And obviously he and the crew ARE putting effort into it! So any which way, it DOES work on some level. It’s not the best thing ever, but it’s not horrible either. I said this on the Jurassic World Abridged Review, uh, am I just invisible or what? (I mean I rarely comment and stuff so, yeah, probably, but still…)Īnd granted, my word isn’t law either - and maybe it is just too “skit-y” for some tastes - but I’d like to think I’m kind of middle of the (Fury?) road here. Sure, it’s a bit gimmicky - everything memorable is at least a LITTLE bit gimmicky these days - but IT JUST WORKS. #Mad max fury road kickass seriesIt’s like smashing abridged anime series and live-action reviews together. Once again, I kinda love the Abridged NC angle he’s come into.
