@@donbrewer3904 I think the real fallout from it was the revelation that James had little no hand in monster madness - one of the last things he supposedly had passion for. So people are super upset getting this feeling that not only has James complained about his lack of time to do anything, the content people thought he was working on have him just voicing narration. It’s just hard to figure out what James’ motivations are these days. But to the OPs point - phoning things in can have major consequences beyond people thinking you are lazy - people take liberties with your reputation and can permanently affect it like Newt did to James. :(

I'm glad Red Cow commented that the VHS commentary is intentionally a throwback. He restates the theme of the channel (nostalgia) and he acknowledges the store could go away someday (his own window of time to be creative). There are some interesting differences between the VHS collection videos over the years; they're like markers of transition points in his career. Also I think no one's mentioned this video store replica set is his own and not the other complete replica video store set that is Screenwave's. It's a subtle territory shift. Like Frankie said I'm not a hater, but Rolfe is strangely like a show I've been watching for almost 20 years now, so the highs and the lows are all fascinating.

[@crawlingamongthestars3736]

I'm not a hater, but I'm also not the least bit optimistic about the channel's prospects, and my view of James has changed dramatically. For me this is just the new phase of watching Cinemassacre. Whatever happens, it'll be interesting.

[@Steambull1]

Well said. The idea of doing a "what I'm known for outside of AVGN or MM" video felt like an olive branch offering towards the fan base. I just hope that James came to the conclusion by himself, not because of Justin's consult. I've also been following Cinemassacre since the beginning, I even had Cinemassacre's web page as my starter at some point in the 2000s. Anyway, I think James made a mistake with the new toupee in the most recent upload (Ghostbusters Afterlife), for it seems the subreddit is going to focus on that now :P

[@TheSaturnMan]

@@Steambull1 I'm also not sure as to whether James came to the conclusion himself. My theory is that Mike or Ryan had a word with him that a change had to be made to keep the channel on track.

[@yummines]

James Rolfe being afraid that if he doesn't upload constantly that he will lose everything kind of perplexes me when you look at Jontron. Jontron: - uploads infrequently (even going on hiatus for so long at one point that his subreddit became a Scott the Woz board) - completely changed the subject matter of his channel from video games to random things he talks about - had a controversy where he said things that can be construed as racist - continues to take sponsorships from Raid: Shadow Legends He also has 2 Million+ more subs than Cinemassacre even though he himself was a fanboy of AVGN (and even appears on a couple Cinemassacre videos). This is anecdotal but I also hear constant buzz if there is a new Jontron video, but I only actually know 2 people irl that have even watched AVGN. Hopefully the VHS video is James Rolfe realizing that people watch his channel for him so as long as he is actually creating the content himself his fans will support it. 5 AVGN videos a year is fine, as long as they're good AVGN videos.

[@miker.9138]

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

I feel like what people don't point out about JonTron is that, yes, he barely posts videos anymore, but it isn't because he puts all his effort into making bangers, it's because he's EVERYWHERE. He basically transitioned into just being a celebrity who only does videos as a hobby, the reverse of AVGN, I think. Like, I see people go like "I miss JonTron so much and looking forward to him doing something again," the same week that a lot of trending videos and podcasts feature him in some capacity.

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

@@billsimms2511 It's tough to say for certain whether it's one or the other. Perhaps both? Frankie made a good point in the vid where they discussed the Behind the Scenes vid, said James seems to be the type of person that secretly prefers being "stuck in the problem", invents a backlog of busy work for himself when he should be pushing the tech problems onto screenwave and focusing his own time and energy more on resolving creativity problems.

[@chakroc]

Let's be real, James has made enough money over the years that he is very comfortable, and clearly, he has lost a bit of the passion he had in the beginning, when they were tying to actually build this thing. He's obviously not interested in spending as much time and energy and he once did with this channel, and that's his right, since he's accomplished much of what he originally wanted to accomplish. As for the actual content...I think it's very clear that much of the charm that made the channel into the popular entity it became, was due to the input and direction of Mike. When Mike was producing...the show had a general feel of friends who were passionate about these subjects, and organically produced things that appealed to others who shared that passion. With Mike now gone...much of the charm is now gone. Now, it feels like they are just doing a 'job', as opposed to having fun. Most know that Mike was the 'actual' AVGN...and James simply played the role on camera...and it just worked. With Mike's input gone, it no longer really works. I don't blame James, or the Screenwave guys...you can't expect those guys to become Mike, and you can't expect James to keep the same passion, when his friends who he created this with are now gone, and it's become more of a job than a passion.

[@JohnSmith-yd5wq]

Then it's time to get a REAL job. But James rathers to milk every last cent from his fans giving them nothing but nostalgia or interesting. He couldn't even prepare 2 3 topics to talk about with 2 others for 40 45mins. Also I heard that they would film 3 podcast in one day.

[@LampourgeR2]

James Rolfe is a legendary man. He was a pioneer that started the first of the popular KZbin sub-sections (being the "angry reviewer" trope), and paved the way for the Let's Play channels that came later. In the golden age of AVGN his guerilla filmmaking was inspired and added a higher production value to his content that put him leagues above his peers, with his writing being funny but also very relatable as it came from a place of pure emotion. Relatability carried James's appeal further, as his subtle passion when discussing things he enjoyed in series like Board James or Lookin' At Books made him so charming where other reviewers floundered when out of their elements. As he got older he lost the anger associated with his early days (which is a part of life and growing up, as well as the fact that he had exhausted most of the shittier games he played when he was a kid), but kept a lot of the likeability. Screenwave has always been a parasite (look into Screenwave's business with Newgrounds, who they were doing business with prior to James), and since they latched on James has seemed less and less interested in the channel and content. I'm glad he is getting back to making his own content his own way. Hopefully one day Mike can come back too.

Rolfe COULD do just three vids a year, IF he was still the guerilla filmmaker of the mid to late 2000s... but it is evident that's not the way to finance an idealistic family life, so he wanted his creation titled 'Cinemassacre' to take off as a franchise of which he'd be more like the boss than an active member. I would say why doesn't he pursuit his film making now that he's got money for financing, but i don't consider him a great filmmaker at all. He is into this done-on-purpose ultra 'B' likeable trash... only problem is, AVGN aside, non of it is likeable, ever.

The dude on the right is a bit too cynical, even though he makes some great points. Most people enjoy downfalls of others and so do I, but I really can't go to the Cinemassacre truth on Reddit, very toxic people over there.

[@joshseguin2043]

they had a decent show i liked to watch called talk about games with ryan and mike it. was pretty good i thought but it didn't last

[@Jonqen]

Yeah It was one of the best modern shows from Cinemassacre. Because...they have passion while James has none.

[@darthteck]

It was lame and unwatchable.

[@johanretard3615]

Cinemassacre making good changes? take a wild guess.

[@PineVinyl]

I’m glad you mentioned the cringe aspect of the video, for that was the weirdest moment on this channel - the slow nod to no one.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

I gonna sub to you guys AVGN’ll be good again,I knows it

[@unknownsword9042]

Wow trying to say something nice and still come off as smug pricks, love it.

[@RedCowArcade]

Really sticking with our videos eh?

[@vinyladventures]

I’m waiting for your opinions on the newest AVGN episode 👀

[@RedCowArcade]

I personally thought it was kinda boring and uninteresting and unfunny, but Mike doing Ernie's voice was pretty funny, particularly the cackle. I think that's all I have to say about it.

AVGN movie review when

[@keeleye7225]

Kieran said he'd stab the garbage out of people. Not very caveman-like.

WHO ARE THESE PODCAST has a great takedown about James' podcast.

[@TheVoidofNothing11]

Patreon? So you want him to beg for money. Not a fan of Patreon.

[@jimmymelendez1836]

That's where some people come to beg for money for extra content that other people can't see cause you have to be a paying subscriber. Patreon is such a sucky place to go to.

[@Steve_jones113]

Bimmy is greedy, no wonder he has no time, he has avgn, his movie, his book, climbing mounTains and plagiarising. Id say hes also a narcissist.

[@ohoto3896]

Ej is from Boston and has a valley girl accent?

[@brianshaw3903]

What I cant wrap my head around a channel with 2.8k subs can in anyway judge a god tier channel like cinemassacre

[@cirocjones9886]

Uhh if James starts a Patreon he'd get "help" making Patreon content he's unimaginably lazy.

Rental reviews wasn't that bad far better than the podcast and lasted AVGN videos

[@colt5189]

I think the best of AVGN is the first 100 episodes. I think it started to be more commercial right when he switched over to HD. As I noticed the show had lost it's magic and felt more corporate when he started filming in HD.

[@VVhistory]

It's funny how James became the subject he once hated. He chose not to review star wars but he became the new Kathleen kennedy: The subject he criticized, he became

Were u in the middle of pasting this comment somewhere else?

[@Davey_Cakes]

I can’t say I hate Screenwave’s involvement with the Cinemassacre channel. I do think I prefer their Cinemassacre-adjacent content, though. Hack the Movies (with Tony) is entertaining. Talk About Games (with Mike and Ryan) might be my current favorite “simple format” gaming podcast. Ryan’s the co-founder and President of Screenwave and he seems like a cool guy.

[@Deadguy2322forreal]

Is he the peso, or just one of the lardballs?

[@TheRealPapaChico]

Everyone who thinks he's depressed is digging too deep lol. It's not a big deal, the dude does a lot more than most channels.
