8/8 was worth the w8 m8

Shit, guess I like the review now.

It's these kind of Twitters that caused Jessi to quit RLM

i just wish it had more plinket vision cutaways desu

>offensive video on shitbusters
Wut
>gator types
The fuck does that mean?

>The fuck does that mean?
gamergate! gasp!

People were expecting some sort of total realignment of perception/opinion that came with the prequel reviews (even though most people agreed they were shit before, but had long since moved on) for TFA. They just kinda said what everyone else said and spent a lot more time talking about star wars in general rather than ripping into TFA. For there isn't anything to rip into as far as TFA goes. It was as bland, inoffensive, and dull as a movie could be. For that is JJ abram's specialty.

>nitpicked the prequels

pointing out failures in basic narrative/script/directing isn't nitpicking

if you wanted a similar 90 minutes scathing review of TFA then that would have had to be nitpicking, because while it's not great it is well put together and was basically entertaining enough for a kid friendly family action movie.

Well they do follow Sargon of Akkad on twitter

Except all of Mike's complaints about the prequels can be boiled down to "not muh Star wars" and nitpicking little details.

TFA has no internal logic, and has to bend over backwards to recreate A New Hope.

>Except all of Mike's complaints about the prequels can be boiled down to "not muh Star wars" and nitpicking little details.
>this is what delusional prequelfags actually believe

Are people still fucking going on about that? Who would've guessed that a bunch of 20-somethings are fucking each other for profit and lying to their consumer base? That shit's been happening in vidya for years.

Everyone follows Sargon, even people who hate him follow him. Everyone wants to know what the fuck he's gonna say next

>Except all of Mike's complaints about the prequels can be boiled down to "not muh Star wars" and nitpicking little details.

is 'making of' footage of george and co. watchign the rough cut of phantom menance and realisiing they'd fucked it nitpicking because not muh star wars?

actors involved basically saying those filsm were shit and george can't direct muh star wars nitpicking?

No, but Mike editing scenes out of context is.

mike edited the prequels?

mind blown.

>we need context for this!
Not that guy but Jesus fucking Christ next you're gonna argue semantics.

I'm not sure what context you need for george and the editors basically saying these four threads don't work but we can't change any of it because it's intertwined.

no wait it's ok, it was stylistically designed to be that way.

The thing with the new Plinkett is that it's not about the new Star Wars, it's about Mike. You see, he's obviously having some sort of middle life crisis and made this video for an ego boost: "I invented the star wars reviews posted on youtube!" "TFA is a decent film because of MY contributions!" "millenials BTFO!" You will start to realize some lines in the video like "I AM the internet" may not have as many layers of irony as you thought.

It's the reason why a fat, balding man was the only one to point out the supposed lack of sex in the film, as he lacks sex himself (ED or Jesse simply doesn't want him physically anymore) and projected his crisis into the movie .Other youtube reviewers didn't notice this, because they can easily cum with their gfs or porn.

He is feeling old, and can't properly critize TFA because it makes him feel the same way he felt as he watched A New Hope for the very first time. He'll leave the movie alone but make fun of younger fans who are just having fun (like the guys in the convention), presenting them as obssesed fanboys, while the Ring Theory segment ironically exposes him as an obssesed nerd who has probably seen every Star Wars film 50 times or more.

He became George Lucas. He became Plinkett.

we need somebody to make "dramatic reading" youtube videos of this guys material

never heard of friendzoning

>dat fanfic
>dat autism

>There are thousands of threads on the boogieman containment board about this. fucking Cred Forums scum. Wheres Mike dick? I wanna suck it.

Why is Cred Forums the most reddit infested board here?

the movie has no faults idiot.

more likely he made it "just ok" to get people off the Plinkett train. The other shows they do are easier to make, more profitable and now..more entertaining.

Projection: the post

sargon is alright, a little but inconsistent and dishonest when it comes to holding the right to account, but alright. His great triggering of the alt right a week or two ago was good fun.

Of course you reddit cucks would like each other.

tfa didn't warrant a plinkett review desu, I think they just did it because everyone exepcted it.

and they were never going to better the video about vader's suit. holy kek so much star wars autism.

The prequels didn't work as movies. As in they weren't dramatically interesting, well-shot, or well-acted. If you can boil down Plinkett's criticism of the prequels, it's that. All of the other complaints are just to fill up time.

You can say whatever you want of it, but the biggest problem is, it's fucking boring. None of the jokes are barbed. The prequels lit a fire under Mike's ass that took those long ass reviews to put out. This one felt like he was obligated to do it.

His time has past, as far as the Plinkett stuff goes.

That's a lot of opinions you've got there.

She couldn't handle a little banter

Do you fuckwits ever have anything original to say, or is always just reddit and cucks with you?

He didn't spend that much time on the actual movie because there was no where near as much horrible shit in it as the prequels

It's a competent and fun (albeit safe) movie, no matter what Cred Forums says.

Is there proof of this

>reddit
>cucks

i bet you have an anime avatar on twitter and spend all day telling people muh milo needs to be free and battling for ethics in games journalism

>Triggers both Cred Forums and SJWs without even trying hard

How is mike so BASED

Are people complaining about the new Plinkett review fucking retards or something? The Plinkett Trailer and the description literally said he was going to talk about The Force Awakens and the current state of Star Wars today. And Star Wars culture today is far more fucking interesting than a review of a film that they already talked about in half-in-the bag and a bunch of other people already talked about.

Welcome to criticism. You can't value judge movies objectively.

>tfa didn't warrant a plinkett review desu, I think they just did it because everyone exepcted it.
That's the whole point of the new video though: it's not a TFA review. It's about a much larger picture.

Do you seriously not get its a meme or do you honestly think its real?

>doesn't understand Cred Forums is memes
Maybe a cuck like yourself would be more comfortable somewhere else, like reddit,

Jay kind of made fun of people bitching on the last Pre Rec stream, pointing out that it was ironic that they wanted the new Plinkett review to follow the exact same format as the prequel reviews considering that was everyone's biggest complaint about TFA.

>And Star Wars culture today is far more fucking interesting than a review of a film that they already talked about in half-in-the bag and a bunch of other people already talked about.

this

I had the same feeling about TFA as RLM guys do.
It's a 8/10 and nothing more.

But, I do agree that the prequel talk went on WAY too long in the TFA review.

i do think the ring theory thing was weird, id never heard of it and it seemed really obscure to spend so much time on it.

but who cares it was enjoyable.

>doesn't know current year memes are becoming reality

>doesn't believe Mike "Spikes the kikes, dykes and hipsters on fixed gear bikes" Stoklasa isn't just a meme now

TFA is a good movie though? How do make a point by point breakdown of how bad a good movie is? It wasn't perfect and I think he did a good job at expressing what he didn't like about it.

What do you want him to do, change his opinion to match your super non-autistic one that is totally not influenced by Cred Forums or how popular the movie was?

The review is funny as fuck, and that's its purpose, it's weird that you're demanding something so specific.

But Mike did do the same thing. He repeated all his prequel complaints and then refused to hold TFA to the same scrutiny.

It's almost like he didn't think TFA was as bad as the prequels or something.

I really don't understand how anyone can defend the phantom menace, other than for the sake of being a contrarian shitlord, when you can literall take it away jump into attack of the clones and lose almost nothing from the trilogy.

you can just start with anakin being a brash impulsive young jedi, we don't need to tit about on his home planet with an insufferable child actor and the pod race. naboo is a steaming turd.

>oh but you need all of that to put palpatine in power.

no you don't, you really really don't, he could be chancellor from the start, a friendly character, and have obi wan or anakin stumble on his room of sith artifacts at some point and be liek WTF.

the basic building blocks of the story are there, these could have been good if george didn't have complete control, it's so frustrating.

Possibly because it was one of the dullest reviews in the history of RLM . Each of the points ranting on about the "ring theory" is indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the black jokes, the reviews' only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of hype, all to make memes less magical, to make anons asshurt as they try to use mental gymnastics to make this review "good".

Perhaps the die was cast when Mike "Black bulls need to breed Rey" Stoklasa bowed to the fans and agreed to create yet another Plinkett Review; he made sure the review would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?Just ridiculously convoluted ranting about the prequels. The Plinkett series might be anti-Lucas (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Kino series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the TFA part of the review was good though
"No!"
The points are weak; the pacing was terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time Mike was getting into his stride, he had to make yet another "lol Mr.Plinkett is a lunatic" joke.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that stupid joke was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Mikes's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of editing or comedy. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Plinkett "Star Wars Awakens" by some faggot on r/RedletterMedia. He wrote something to the effect of, "Guys this isn't the best review but its a new style and you guys over hyped it" And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you get hyped for RLM content you are, in fact, trained to be disappointed.

And I bet you sexually service Syrian refugees.

Anyone can trigger Cred Forums and SJWs just by being a normal person with rational thought

I disliked it because unlike other ones it was unfocused and felt more reactionary.

You just blew my mind

>General statements about Disney buying Star Wars and an hour of talking about fan theories is better than an actual review

Are you one of those "fags" I keep hearing about.

>have to actually watch it part by part its so boring
>take 2 days to grudgingly watch it
>only laugh once

Jesus dude, are you really that triggered by someone suggesting Finn and Rey get together?

Shit review all in all but this type of post is pathetic.

hey jack

>None of the jokes are barbed
>the black guy with a gun joke not being this best joke he's written in years

>contrarian faggots on Cred Forums genuinely believe that everybody hates the new review

Being too much of a fucking pussy to actually make a strong statement either way isn't rational.

Honestly I think he shouldn't have spent half the review talking about NOT The Force Awakens.

what do you expect? they think all reality is this one website

I don't want to be Jack but at this point i think the Plinkett might have been better if it had been made by Jack

Half the review was examining an idiotic fan theory and it wasn't very funny.
I don't mind them shredding the prequels (that's why people like plinkett reviews in the first place, but the fan theory didn't merit that much time.

You're retarded. You don't possess even a basic understanding of what you're talking about.

>I didn't watch the review
Nice post, faggot. You have no clue what you're talking about.

>Like lukewarm water, I spit you out!

Thank you for proving my point

The review was pretty lackluster. He just talks about a fan theory for most of the video. Then he just says 'soft reboot' about TFA and just kind of leaves it at that. No deconstruction, regardless of opinion.

well they insist the movie is the worst thing ever created, so why would they like a review.

Personally i thought it was meh, but 3/4 of it was just about the prequels and the part of about tfa was pretty soft. Everybody already knew Mike liked tfa, im not sure if people were expecting something else.

>there's no way my internet friends could be wrong

meme machine

Maybe because TFA isn't a bad movie.

Well it certainly wasn't very good.

Yes it is. It lacks internal logic, likeable characters, it's an unimaginative corporate piece of shit.

>Maybe because TFA isn't a bad movie
But it is.

It wasn't funny because it wasn't inspired because it didn't deserve it

A review trashing TFA is like a review trashing a McDonalds.. who cares, it's a bland product and everyone knows it.
Trashing the prequels is like a scathing review of some restaurant that was hyped up - hilarious.

It's not bad. It's unoriginal, it's safe, it's made by comittee. All of those statements are true. But it's not bad.

RLM's audience is redditors.

If they come even remotely close to sounding like an SJW, they get triggered.

>RLM fags have to pretend that TFA was a good movie to cover up for Mike's pleb taste.

>reddit and sjws

what are you fucking talking about, you don't even know do you?

why did I reply, well done you baited me.

kys, I'm going to, come on we're in this together.

Everything about RLM aside, quite frankly I don't care if I have pleb taste. I just want the same movies and games I like to be made again and again, because I have enough in my life that I at least want my entertainment to be comforting.

This. He should have done the Matrix sequels or something equally terrible. BUT I know he had to do TFA because reddit and sweet patreon bucks.

Any good businessman knows you have to capitulate to your audience.

That's because it's not intended to be a deconstruction of TFA because TFA is an okay product that isn't worth deconstructing. It's a deconstruction of what the Star Wars franchise is now, now that it'sin the hands of Disney. Every SW movie from here on out will be calculated perfectly to be an acceptable movie, just like TFA is. That's the entire point of the new Plinkett video. The autists here are too busy tripping over themselves to complain that Plinkett didn't point out every dumb nitpick though.

Because of the obsession to force memes

He hasn't done a Plinkett review in 4 years and RLM has been doing just fine. He didn't HAVE to do a review of TFA or anything else if he didn't want to.

Revolutions maybe, but even for all the dumb shit in Reloaded, at least Reloaded is entertaining.

So Mike talks about how Star Wars is just a product now, but doesn't even follow up on it why analyzing the movie itself?

Every comment, on almost every one of there videos was "When the next Plinket review you HACK FRAUDS!!1" I don't think he had a choice tbqh. Most people subbed to RLM just because of the Plinket reviews

everyone knows they are plebs mate

look at the films they review. capeshit and action movies. everytime they touch something with even an ounce of depth they look like morons.

He does though. The whole diversity thing he talks about is NOT because of some agenda by Abrams or anything, it's to make it sell better. It shows how much of a product it is.

So he does some inconsistent, contradictory spiel about the marketing of the movie, but not the movie itself.

Triggered THREE special snowflake crowds - Cred Forumsfags, SJWs, and prequel apologists.

His pottery on making the video to look like it was done with less focus and more laziness than the original reviews was lost on the plebs.

The problem is that for the most part, there's not much you can say about the actual movie because it's designed to be SO safe and such that it's inherently made to be difficult to pick at.

I don't know why he and the others never figure out why they're called the Resistance. The movie outright says, the New Republic refuses to openly oppose the First Order, and the Resistance is made up of people that broke away from the Republic's stance to form their own army against the First Order.

The great irony now is the Plinket reviews themselves have become a soulless product.

He does though. It's literally the entire point of the 1 hr 45 minute video, you retard.

You contrarian faggots are literally tripping over yourselves to make comments like this, regardless of the fact that they make zero sense.

How are Plinkett reviews a product? This is literally the first one he's made in 4 years and it's not the simple, pandering TFA nitpick video everyone here has decided they wanted it to be. It's the exact opposite of a product.

And he spends less than a 3rd of the review talking about the movie itself, and most of that is complaining about the lack of interracial gay sex.

Are you so retarded that you can't even keep up with a simple conversation? We've already established why he only devotes a small amount of time to TFA.

>most of that is complaining about the lack of interracial gay sex.
2, 3 minutes tops user.

Like what?

How poorly written tand thin the characters are.

>maybe if I say really broad and vague criticisms with no examples to back up my point, it will look like I know what I'm talking about.

why didn't mike cover the "jar jar was a sith lord" theory. fucking hack

You mean like Mike did?

>You contrarian faggots are literally tripping over yourselves to make comments like this

are we really tho?

Listen fellla, the Plinket reviews are product now that a huge audience demands them, just because the Plinket arm of the RLM empire chooses to trickle releases like McDonald's does with the McRib, Doesn't make it a labor of love like the earlier reviews.

>everything old is a labour of love
>everything new is a cynical product
underage confirmed

What does Cred Forums think of my impression of Plinket. I have been thinking of making knock-off Plinket reviews for the fuck of it.

Here is a cringey video I made 2 years go over the weekend as an example.

youtube.com/watch?v=gt5XYE1FtiQ

Sucks. Kill yourself.

voice is terrible but the editing is top notch. i too love the ken burns effect

Everything I keep seeing people say about this review is wrong.

>Why did he spend so much time on the prequels
He said he would, they mentioned the ring theory (and the clickbait articles) on the trailer. Mike has always had a huge beef with the prequels, that's the only reason people even know what RLM is.

>He spends all that time on the prequels and doesn't even refute the points made
Everything listed in the clickbait articles is self-evidently ridiculous, and he destroys the rig theory by pointing out that visual callbacks and similar plot points are spread out all over the series, randomly, not just in the specific pattern that the theory mentions. It's just selective perception.

>He was too soft on Disney
He starts making fun of Disney within the first two minutes. He refers to them as a "soulless Hollywood machine", and their ownership of Star Wars even makes him vaguely nostalgic towards George Lucas.

>He was too soft on TFA
Did you even watch the video? He called it a "soft reboot scam that tricked millions", says that the obsessive focus on diversity was a complete waste of the filmmaker's time, and describes it as "sterile" and "lifeless". He put a spotlight on all the bullshit around Captain Phazma's character, said the humor was bad and unnecessary, and literally said that the movie's backstory would have made for a more interesting movie than the movie itself.

>Mike "cuck meme" Stoklasa
People saying this was fucking inevitable, and I don't think anyone is really saying this seriously, but just in case they are, Mike's point was less about Rey getting BLACKED and more about someone ducking anyone. Mike even pointed out that all the white men in the movie are either evil or about to die, more or less acknowledging that as a problem.

Obviously this isn't one of Mike's better Plinkett reviews, but the criticisms people are coming up with are almost total bullshit.

yeah it was based on older Plinket. Mike does a much younger and upbeat Plinket now.
I will adjust accordingly. This was my first time editing anything so thank you for that at least.

It was off-topic and boring. Even Jack admitted that on Wednesday's Pre-Rec stream.

*in the trailer
*ring theory
*feel vaguely nostalgic
*fucking

Jack just continues to prove himself to be RLM's greatest asset.

It was alright. I liked it. I've watched it through about one and a half times.

Though to be honest, the glasses cunny in this shot was my favorite part of the review.

>I like the fan theory that Rey is Anakin reincarnated.

WTF Mike? That's like enjoying the prequel story of Anakin being a virgin-birth Chosen One.

Nice job, Chosen One

I think the point they were making wasn't so much the stupid-ass theory, as they were using it as an example of how dumb and reaching prequel apologists can get.

this new glarus spotted cow is terrific

this was mike consciously trying to distance rlm from the alt right

>faggy avatar
>anti-GG
>misses the point of the review completely
Yep, checks out.

>fucking computer animators!
>fucking millenials!
>fucking blog writers!
>why aren't things like they were in my childhood?!?!?!
>why are there so many remakes of things from my childhood?!?!?!?

generation X is fucking garbage, cynical smug,envious, worthless.

Why is Jack so pure?

...

.

Yeah I find it hard to believe Mike is as liberal as he acts in his newest videos. I think its just a routine to keep reddit kiddies to continue to donate to his patreon.

unless you're famous for being political, anyone who gets more popular will always publicly become left leaning or moderate because it's the safest thing to do without alienating your audience while keeping the shekels coming.

Thats hardly Cred Forums

Test

>2003
>using the term leftist

You have to go back.

Reading these posts is surreal.

Mike constantly makes jokes about rape and 9-11. Thats like the most anti-liberal you can get.

It wasnt a very good TFA review. I liked it and I can admit that.

>Virtue signals that he likes fags and diversity

Not really.
