Yeah, that’s some fair points right there. I generally only watch RedLetterMedia’s Best of the Worst show, the one made up of watching a bunch of B-movie shlock. I can’t stand their opinions on modern movies, especially Mike’s. He’s like a vacuum of joy.
Would it be unwise to link the more undesirable elements of Plinkett videos to the rise of disgusting channels like CinemaSins or Mauler? Because I can see that lineage. I mostly brought them up earlier because I agreed with some of their more basic points but not the bulk of the “weird” stuff (the edginess is so 2009 it hurts). One can also blame James Rolfe and Doug Walker for things like CinemamSins and Mauler, especially Doug Walker (Doug’s The Wall video is a litmus test for cringe).
I apologize if I came across as a troll or an instigator, but I felt like this discussion was worth having here. Anyway, back to the point.
As a manga/anime fan, I’m fine when an author forgets some relatively small detail they wrote over 20+ years prior. One obsessing over little details like that misses the forest for the trees. It’s the kind of attitude held by the people who lose sleep over slight in-discrepancies in fan wiki articles.
