Two things: 1. I apologize for the scratchy audio in this video. My mic has been on its last legs for a while and this video made me realize it was time to get an upgrade. Won't be an issue going forward. 2. Daniel Warren has given me permission to link his twitch channel. Check him out here: m.twitch.tv/uniscorn123/home

That dude in the arcade has good insights. Also it's hilarious that even someone who completely misunderstands the art of cinema as much as Confused Matthew did could still understand the problems with the MCU.

Looking at the name "Confused Matthew" and the look of his avatar, for the longest time I thought Confused Matthew was some kind of Christian children's book about a kid who thinks he's gay.

Whoever was the hero that requested Confused Matthew to review Mulholland Dr. and Storytelling, thank you so much. Two of my favorite videos of all time. I fully imagine somebody seeing that 2001 video and going "oh yeah he'd fucking love David Lynch"

This was truly a ride down memory lane. You did a very good job of bringing up all the little confused matthew lore lol. I was obsessed with this guy when I was in middle school and it's crazy to see how many ppl he's influenced while he himself has not grown into a bigger content creator 😭

Great video. Thanks for making it. While I still listen to Matthew’s old videos keeping them fresh in my mind, you refreshed my memory of what it was like to anticipate these videos as they were released. I never found Matthew’s opinions to be that controversial, for the most part. I thought he was usually on-ball. And I happened to agree with some of his hotter takes, particularly when it came to the lion king and back to the future part II. Despite apparently being miserable creating his later videos, I hope Dan knows that he was intelligent, well spoken, and funny. Also despite hating attention, I hope he knows that he was adored by countless people. I think my favorite Confused Matthew reviews were: Star Trek Generations Star Wars Prequels Man of Steel Dark Knight Rises (sadly part 3 is lost media)

Quite a blast from the past. I remember Confused Matthew's videos back in the day & while I didn't watch many, I thought he was a tit with baffling opinions/reasons. And he was one of the earliest youtubers I saw bashing the MCU, something even despite some poor movies lately is something I find annoying. Despite that it is a shame to hear that he struggled with personal issues behind the scenes that lead him to quit the channel. I might not like his content or the persona he put out but he doesn't deserve anything like that. Also I find it hilarious his actual name is exactly the same as one of my friends.

I really enjoyed Confused Matthew honestly. I didn't always agree with the guy but what I admired about him was that he wasn't afraid to speak his mind regardless of the status quo on a subject, not just regarding talking movies & media in general. I always respected him for that. Cool video. Wish he was still doing stuff.

@Zebulan-g5j 26 күн бұрын

You can tell confused Matthew is a bit of a perfectionist and the kind of person who cringes over something they said to someone 15 years ago. I’m a little like that and thE worst torture you can subject me to, is a video of my young self just talking about … well, anything Confused Matthew is very self-critical , that’s why he constantly removed old videos, re-uploaded them with commentary , etc I can respect this personality trait but unfortunately in those case, he critiqued his own work into oblivion … “if I don’t review anything anymore, I won’t cringe over it 10 years from now”

Man, between Confused Matthew, Stand In Stan, and the Kenny Vs. Spenny Clip, this video has really hit me with the nostalgia! I WAS one of those kids in high school who argued with his friends and siblings about Matthew's reviews. I loved Stan's songs and deep dives into many different subjects (still waiting on the completed Crow 2 review!!!). I was there from the blip days to the reboot on youtube, to the eventual end of the characters as a whole. And it is also through these videos that I got to be introduced to one of my best friends to this day. I still find the Warren brothers to be some of the sharpest minds when it comes to film criticism, and even though they've retired the characters, you can STILL hear their thoughts on films both old and new on their twitch channels and Gabriel's youtube channel with his friend Andrew. Thank you for this very thorough and thoughtful analysis of some of my favorite reviewers, as well as this trip down memory lane. It is very much appreciated.

this is so nostalgic. i think i discovered him in 2009 and i do remember almost everything you mentioned, it's made me feel old. it's also made me feel sad about an older time on youtube and social media. i feel like it's different now. the theme of media has become about politics and that seems to ride on all movies as well as movie reviews too. i don't know if it's because i was younger then or the internet's changed. i remember what a big deal it felt like when confused matthew made negative reviews and it seems laughable now compared to the vitriol of political arguments over media today. it makes me miss what it felt like when confused matthew was the most infuriating person in film critique, even if i was also a fan. he used to drive me nuts and yet i'd still return to him and like him nonetheless lol

Nice retrospective. I remember when I first stumbled on his original Lion King review. The Lion King is a dear childhood favorite of mine, so when it became clear he didn't like it I was about to click out of it. But the things he said made so much sense, that I ended up watching the whole thing. I really did respect him as a movie reviewer, and I still occasionally go back to his videos (we're pretty fortunate that one fan archived his older videos). Kind of sad to hear about the problems he had in his personal life.

lowkey imo Confused Matthew sound like the predecessor of Mauler except with a fire theme song and original takes lol and his avatar reminds me of a BenTheLooney type deal, which he himself could be considered the Confused Matthew of the cartoon community and the predecessor of Mr. Enter, except way more controversial outside of his youtube content. Speaking of, i think it be neat to cover that guy in a future video, theres other channels that covered Ben before but i feel urs could be interesting since u an oldhead of the yt community and in general more pleaseant to watch since u keep it objective and non-judgemental (for the most part anyways)
