The plot of TPM hinges on that the blockade by the Federation is banal (something to do with taxes... it really doesn't matter) and that it's a front for something sinister.

The dude in the video pulls five minutes out of rambling about 'space trade' and how he doesn't understand something that is ultimately not even a part of the plot.

I fail to see how the reason for the Trade Federation blockading the planet does not form part of the plot. It's the whole reason for the Trade Federation to be there - whatever the Trade Federation is. I think most of Redlettermedia's criticisms are indeed spot on, and while I agree that the humor is questionable, I feel his criticisms need a more convincing response than "it doesn't matter."

Which is why I suggested someone taking notes and turning his and other detractors observations into a more universally palatable manifesto of what doesn't work which fan editors and cinema buffs can refer to without letting the presentation style get in the way.

I agree that a document outlining the problems with TMP would extremely useful.
