My problem with RSG is that he almost never shows things he actually likes and is soooo pretentious, jokingly or not. He's one of those channels that's basically just a rage bait it feels like since he's never doing anything positive or taking things seriously. And whenever he is seemingly being positive or trying to be serious it always feels so sarcastic and not genuine at all. He just never seems like he can have a genuine conversation since he's always filing his videos with tasteless jokes, complaining, mocking, dumb voices and attempts to try to be funny. He never gives real criticisms on how the things he complains about so much can be better. Not to mention the fact he just insults his own audience a lot. Like he genuinely acts like he can never be wrong and there really is no self-awareness.

[@UltraIDDQD6DOOM]

Yes I did make a long-ass yapping session of a comment that I sectioned off, but that's only so you people can read it easily. Now don't get this wrong I actually have watched RSG for a while and even like some of his videos since I think they're funny. But I'm not going to lie Colin has obliterated you and really pointed out your flaws. You act like you're never wrong, never take things seriously interest in salt everything and are so overly pretentious and negative.

I thought about it, and I noticed how you're a bit of a hypocrite. You go on and make a full on 30 min video (not to mention your other vids where you talk about your haters) on why these guys are manchildren, and while you might be right to some degree, the fact that you can't just ignore them and accept the fact that there will always be someone who disagrees shows how you can't move on. Who cares if some kid says "never let bro cook again"? Ignore them, and focus more on better things. I understand why you dislike this behavior, but you don't need to make a 30 min video to explain that to us. TL;DR It's ok to not like haters, but you don't need to hate on them back for 30 minutes straight. Just ignore them.

[@RSG200]

You're right. I just wanted to go all out for my last time making a video like this

i will never understand why people think that liking something and admitting that it has flaws or things that can be improved upon are mutually exclusive concepts. there are so many stories i love in spite of their flaws or missed opportunities when it came to their writing and the complexity/artistry of their writing. your favorite story doesn't need to be this literary masterpiece that everyone in schools across the world will study for the next few centuries.

[@bass-dc9175]

13:00 No. Objectivity and subjectivity is not differentiated by weather someone ELSE has those emotions. Objectivity is something that can be independently assessed. It can be measured. If it fits a defined standard: then it is objective. Subjectivity is something dependent on a person. In the phrase "I was bored" that subject was YOU. The phrase "I was objectively bored" is nonsensical, because objective is not a qualifier that can ever applied to a subjective qualifier like "bored". If you meant that it was objective that you were bored (well duh, there is little reason to doubt that) then you messed up the sentence structure. It would have been "Objectively: I was bored." which is a needless qualifier because it says the same as "I was bored". Quite frankly it very much appears as an attempt to lend more credibility to your opinion. *Which you should not need to do if your points are valid.* (Which I do not doubt. It is simple to take appart invincible for its many flaws and I don't think you were incapable of doing so correctly. [Correction] I was wrong. Seems like you didn't even do that ... shame) But I am tired of people missusing "objective" because All it does is give fuel to the "Art analysis is never objective" crowd. EDIT: Oh and: No the quality of art is not allways exclusively subjective. It has both subjective and objective components. How well an artform is done can be measured objectively. What it makes you feel is ofcourse subjective. The quality of art is a combination of both. The subjective value and the objective execution. To take an example YOU brought up: The flying scene you refere to when critiquing Invincibles animation: is bad. How it makes you feel, weather you can imagine yourself in that characters shoes, or not, if it excites you: That is subjective. But the animation quality is objectively bad.

[@fusionprime241]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally like Invincible. While I agree the animation has big problems, the music is just there and most of the writing is meh but I really enjoy the direction of the story. I think some of the side plots are interesting or ant least good enough to not skip through and they make the world feel bigger more lived in but some of them are just bad. The sequid storyline was the worst in my opinion and nothing interesting happens with it later in the comics. The best side story in my opinion was the one with titan but even then I still get why other people would consider it boring. The main story is the best part and so far in the show it’s been minimal, I think what hurts the most to me is knowing how much better the story gets later on in the comic. There are less boring side plots and some actually great ones, the main story gets more focus and Mark becomes a better character and is way more compelling and interesting. After thinking about it, I 100% understand and somewhat agree all of your points, I can’t completely explain it but I still like the show for what it is, 6/10.

@Iianator a small clip of good/bad writing shouldn't need a whole explanation. It's pretty easy to tell most of the times when a movie or show is just spelling everything out for you and when characters just aren't interesting or contradict themselves.

[@sagepuppet]

boneworks music detected

[@Blackarooni]

When people say "Art is subjective" what I think people really mean is that what we interpret from the artist's intention is subjective, but using that as a defense is not useful at all. Liking a piece of art will always be a subjective thing, and nobody can take that away from anyone else. I love TASM2. I also agree that TASM2 is a poorly written story. Those two things can coexist, otherwise the term "so bad it's good" wouldn't hold much meaning if the quality is nebulous and just up to someone. Having standards for storytelling quality is important, and having these standards isn't guaranteed to make a story dull. There's also a case to be made for words and how we use them, which brings me to my next point: There is a difference between excitement and fun. I had fun with Dune Part 1 while many people found it boring. Excitement would be how much action is in a movie. For example a movie like John Wick is exciting, because of all the action. But whether someone has fun with it or not will be completely subjective, and that is completely fine. At first glance, separating the words "fun" and "exciting" and assigning the meaning objective and subjective onto them sounds like a futile thing considering they're synonymous, but this strategy is used to properly determine what people mean in a useful manner by explaining what people mean when they say something was boring and describe why it'd be a detriment. As a writer, I find it useful when assessing media quality, avoiding plot holes, contrivances, inconsistent characterization and worldbuilding, because this challenges me to make my story as interesting and exciting as possible, while trying to keep the audience's interest. It's a daunting task, but it's rewarding, especially when you know for a fact that you crafted a story that has so many things to analyze while also maintaining believability, which is what a lack of problems would provide. I can guarantee that no piece of art will be perfect, nobody is. But abandoning the strive for perfection just because it's too hard or because it's unachievable is a defeatist mindset that I refuse to accept. Not to say any of these things were argued in this video, but it's something I think is important to keep in mind

It's always nice to find someone shitting on the stuff that people have, for some unexplainable reason, decided is "good media". It will never cease to boggle my mind, how people will endlessly shit on stuff like Rings of Power or the new Star Wars show (all terrible media in their own right), and then turn around and heap praise and positive reviews on the utter drivel of shows like Invincible. Personally, I think it's just the first bit of exposer people have with a piece of media that breaks the usual mould. It pushes just that little bit past the run-of-the-mill superhero content pushed out by Marvel or DC (and makes sure to smear on a ton of gore, so that even the most bone-headed viewer doesn't miss it), to make people think that it's some kind of deep recontextualisation or deconstruction of the genre. So naturally it's going to move a lot of people who otherwise only consume the surface level media and they'll start attaching their identity to it.

Alternate title: "RSG 2 VS Nerds: The Short Film".

[@RoosterCogburnPhD]

invincible fumbles a LOT of stuff but complaining that other characters are distracting from Mark isn't really a valid criticism when one of the points of the story is that it's a "reinterpretation" of super hero stories, which very commonly have a wider universe behind them. This larger setting is the reason you find Mark's focus on his stupid selfish girlfriend or his irrelevent college career to be dumb, because it is dumb when there are obviously much bigger fish to fry. The valid criticism would be that these subplots are written like ass and some of the changes from the comic make the story objectively worse, like the drama between Mark and Amber being ruined by her sociopathic manipulation that's NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN.

oof this comment section smells of soy Season 2 writing ranges from generic CW to narrarive torture. Lovers having identical conversations about each other in parallel. Cyborg dude resolves his inner conflict by just meeting a dude in similar situation. A prick getting beaten up suddenly gets him self-conscious. Grandpa told Deb she has been a strong person throughout the marriage because this way we will surely buy that. She disposes the books the moment we discover they are important, oh and that doesn't pay off anyway. A "demons of the past" disposable villain motivated by irrational ptsd. A man responsible for the global security can't explain the prime hero the real prospects of his infantile "college, dentist" preference. The prime hero gets an ultimatum from an unstoppable global threat and just ignores it, insisting on that "college, dentist". Oh and btw Eve loves him smh idk just swallow that. Oh and sheer lack of competence every character has is beyond unrealistic, it just obviously moves the plot forward. Insufferable checkbox filler Amber got nerfed and became just a filler. An ogre girl is so witty and has it all figured out and has fine social skills but can't be bothered to explain concept of personal boundaries to her clueless ex-android boyfriend. Who cares if she is always right anyway? I hated Mark so much I wanted him to lose as he himself does everything to lose - but the plot protects him from his own reality. His biggest loss due to his flaws is... Killing a villain. Bravo. Writing is so corporate and lazy I dream about viltrumites' easy win over this bunch of lost causes. No, RSG, art is not entirely subjective, and this one objectively fails at its goals

[@Number-1-ball-blast-player]

Even though I like invincible.I completely agree with you about how it has lazy and generic writing. Invincible has cool but lazy ideas with meh execution.something that made me annoyed with the show was when they made that commercial talking about why season 2 was taking so long.the reason why I was annoyed was because it showed incredible animation that was really good(that apparently was animated by a nsfw artist,makes you rethink how slimy the burger was in the commercial)yet instead used the usual trash animation for actually important parts of the show making me dissatisfied with the animation.and the humor is so bad that it almost compares to shit like hazbin hotel.it felt like a massive step down from the first season.

I realized the other day that the plot isn’t just the idea of a super cool thing that unfolds but it’s the consequence of the decisions your characters make based on their personalities. If you don’t have any clue what your character's personality is then your story is going to crash and burn cause your characters aren’t well thought out. What’s cancerous is that I think a lot of people don’t even realize this like I shamefully didn’t before and it’s just cause we have tons of stories that have these fundamental issues.

I am fully willing to admit that I am woefully inept at evaluating “good writing”, if by “good writing” you mean the dialogue itself That said, I (subjectively) think you should maybe put a little less stock into it? I get if it’s literally impossible for you to do so, but otherwise, writing off 99% of anime because you think the dialogue is too blunt or unsubtle is silly

[@togglebott7748]

Also, last thing about anime Anime is partially very loud and different from how most western media is written However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t anime with “good” dialogue, or at least good in the same sense that Wes Anderson writes good dialogue (not realistic, but still artfully written) The problem is, most of it is really hard to properly translate over to English in a way that would let you fully appreciate it, since Japanese is so fundamentally different to English This is about Monogatari btw. I’m entirely speaking about the dialogue, the show has a lot of weird shit and I haven’t even watched it I’m just going off what literally everyone has said about it

[@jaxxpool9630]

So he shouldn’t explain why he thinks Invincible is bad in a video that’s meant to be a review of it? The problem isn’t that he doesn’t like Invincible, the problem is he doesn’t elaborate on his points and expects people to just take his word for it. The part where he said “I’m not critiquing Invincible, I’m reviewing it” shows he has no idea what he’s talking about.

[@egyasokkbol]

Gonna be honest, I haven't watched Invincible yet and I think I might like all the character stuff even if it's barebones, but I love these reviews and how willing you are to stick by and defend your opinion.

[@togglebott7748]

I’ll put this a better way You seem like you really, really don’t like when things are unsubtle and when dialogue is unnatural Therefore, you obviously will not like anime I care very little about that. Sure, having great dialogue can be a plus, but I’m not going to like an anime less for having over the top acting I remember you used a shot of the Reiner and Bertoldt betrayal scene from Attack on Titan in a criticism of anime being unsubtle. And I guess I can see the complaint, but in my mind’s eye, I genuinely cannot imagine watching that scene and having that negatively impact my opinion on it AT ALL. Imo, that scene is basically 100% flawless (outside of the CGI colossal Titan lol)
