Not too long ago, I was introduced to the fact that there was a perfectly marvelous source of entertainment lurking about inter webs. An entertainment that ruined childhood memories, introduced me to others that I had not known of, made me fond of, and then ruined as well. This God among Gods, King of Sarcasam, Guru of Shouting in a High Pitched Squeal, the original That Guy With the Glasses himself... The Nostaligia Critic.
He's the perfect example of internet fame. The man has his own deviant artist, two movies, hundreds of reviews under his belt, a raging fandom, multiple personalities, his own website, his very own page on Cracked, started multiple internet memes, and goes to cons as a guest speaker. He has done more than most people who attempt to be critics of anything.
For example did you know that he has his very own IMdB page? He does. You go ahead and google it, I'll wait.
I have enjoyed all of his reviews, and for good reason. He has an excellent grasp of comedic timing, and enough knowledge of the different aspect of film to prevent the reviews from being nothing more then senseless, self centered ranting. He does indeed "go one step beyond."
Plus he's wonderfully quoteable.
There is only one thing I can think of that I feel the Nostalgia Critic did wrong. He unleashed an unspeakable horror on our world... It started innocently enough in a contest... and ended in this....
The Nostalgia Chick.
Oh. My. God. I hate her. She not only destroys everything I love, but she does it in such an assanine, self-serving manner! Her first few videos were all right, she actually followed the format that Nostalgia Critic set up, somewhat. However, as she grew more confident in her abilities, she took some artistic liberties. Such as using the reviews as a podium for all her friends to get a few minutes of fame.
Yes, I know that Nostalgia Critic does that too, but he does it relatively sparingly. It seems that Nostalgia Chick can't go a single review without pulling up one or more of her back up dancers.
Also, she does not actually go through the movies and shows properly. She just throws little clips at you, and then whines about how historically inaccurate it is, how anti-feminist it is, or starts something and turns it into something else.
Now, to be fair, I did like the double review she and Nostalgia Critic did of Fern Gully. And her musical reviews have certainly been informative. I might like her better if she say... stuck to musicals, and I admit to being extremely annoyed at most of today's feminists who really haven't suffered through anything that bad. But she is tied to the Nostaligic name and as such, I just don't think she is up to snuff. Change her to Musical Chick or something like that, but don't tie her in with the Nostalgia Critic. In my humble opinion, they simply are not in the same league.
Plus I like Arwen, and Nostalgia Chick ruined her in Suburban Knights. In an un-funny way.
