The Cinemassacre & Screenwave Iceberg Explained

[@scaseTCT]

i don’t wanna keep repeating this so i’ll just write it here: the voice is an AI (elevenlabs) not the actual james or an impression sorry for some of the mike elmo clips being gone, someone at screenwave wanted to fuck with the video and tried taking it down and i could either appeal or just take the easy way and cut them out so that's what i did, if anything like this happens again i'll see if i can do anything else

If I recall correctly, James explained the "nerd face" in an old James & Mike Mondays video, he invented it as a kid and would practice it sometimes when he was bored, it's supposed to look like a cartoon character, and there are actually two of these faces, a shocked one with mouth open and an angry one with mouth closed. At some point he simply stopped caring if these faces make any sense in the situation, which drew a lot of negative attention towards them.

Same.. I see this weird obsessive fandom hate (and adoration on the flip side) with any person somewhat popular and in the public spotlight. What gets me is why watch content you don't enjoy, especially just to hate on it.

I laughed way too hard at the Chicken Dance being played over Rex Viper

[@jmatt781]

The Rex Viper live shows were bad, but just getting out there and performing in front of a crowd earns my respect. It's not an easy thing to do. If you've ever played in a band, or had to give a speech in front of a crowd, the first few times you are almost guaranteed to suck. You build up the guts, get out there, do it, work on it, and get better, just like anything in life.

[@redacted2275]

There was no rehearsal and preparation before their first show. Guitars were out of tune. Singer was way out of his depth. Having courage is different from being on a Kamikaze mission (or being stupid). If you had a band you would know how disrespectful it is to call that thing on stage "a band", to see all of that great equipment being used to do that and still get some kind of praise. No, Rex Viper had no excuse to suck that much live.

[@Brettskei]

I mean, he was an early internet video pioneer. Who’s old now. Like can’t expect him to be doing it forever. Especially now that short form content is king and he makes long form.

[@SquadPoopy]

He's just an old man who seems more interested in his movies now. I can't blame him, he's been doing internet content for nearly 20 years now. Also, I don't know why "muh kids" is on this iceberg and why whoever wrote the video is such an asshole about it. He wants to spend time with his kids instead of work. Fucking let him.

[@Brettskei]

@@SquadPoopy exactly

[@runnersdialzero1244]

Here's the thing: even if James wanted to retire _The Angry Video Game Nerd_ now or ten years ago, he couldn't because it's his main source of income. He's only 43. No doubt he's proud of his work, feels extremely fortunate to have had the success he's had, and loves his fans, but I imagine being locked into what was once a hobby can occasionally wear on you a bit. But yes, I'm very forgiving with the occasional newer, subpar episode because, like OP said, he's given us hundreds of hours of content (many of which I find myself going back to repeatedly over the years) for free. Also, there are still good episodes and moments, and I've never, like, found any of the episodes detestable or something. I don't know him or what his life is like or what his schedule's like (it's none of our business!), but I believe him 100% when he basically says he does all he can. Every person is different, but maybe some of you will get it a little later in life. I don't even have kids or a wife and my downtime is pretty damn scarce and precious. Again, hours and hours of free content. So many laughs, often when I really needed them. I wish him nothing but the best.

Most kids that grew up with Elmo saw him as a surrogate kid friend, and he's going to always be a perpetual child to them.

He isn't one of those people who work a normal full time job and do KZbin on the side, this is his main source of income. If James wants to be semi retired/focus on his kids formative years then he should just come out and say it and that would be the end of it, we would have a proper answer. Instead he keeps using them and no time as a excuse and was combative of such questions in the 2021 behind the scenes video. He is lucky he has a cushy job now (with lots of behind the scenes help more then ever, including the writing) and all this passive income from all the legacy views. If he didn't use these excuses and actually used direct language, without treating fans with legitimate questions and criticisms like assholes it would be a non isssue.

[@KetwunsGamingPad]

The reality of all this is that clearly James is somewhat content with what he has now, having work life balance thanks to Screenwave. He’s gotten older and has a family, and clearly this was the only way to keep paying the bills whilst still somewhat doing what he enjoys, albeit cutting out the hours he used to need to do hardcore video editing or self made productions. But also yes, the cliche “avoid mental health and burnout problems” wave that has happened with Many content creators, this was a blessing in disguise now if you really think about it. Now he’s got a crew helping him out and he’s purely the actor now. I don’t think it’s a bad thing but I think where it falls sadly in the end was his friends on the journey. The only series that seems to retain this feeling is Neighbour Nerds, but it’s sad how this practically took over James and Mike Mondays. They are still quite entertaining, thank god his childhood friend and neighbour has such a funny personality and memorable voice but at what expense, so many others.

I notice there was one entry not on here. That tweet where Mike Matei raged at people for using save states and telling them that if they used them, they didn't beat the damn game.

[@thentheychopped]

He's not wrong though

[@BiriBiri925]

He still adheres to this opinion, literally his recent Rondo of Blood stream, he made fun of those who use save states for about 10 minutes. And by the way, he is right.

As a new fan who never watched Avgn until recently this videos tone is so mean spirited toward James. Everything I’ve seen from him he just seems genuine and nice. You showed good topics that yeah James should be criticized for and has been but the jabs and dunks are so unnecessary comes off way more biased and attacking.

I still like the avgn stuff. We are close to the same age and i can understand how changes in life make your priorities change and you dont have the same goofy sense of humor you once had

[@Mymloch]

Aside from the Screenwave stuff (those guys seem like clowns), this all just seemed to only exist to be mean-spirited rather than try to be informative in any sort of way. Having an AI James voice over it galvanizes that as the intent, I think.

So it's only "mean-spirited" if it's about people you like? 😒

17:17 what soundtrack?

[@neubro1448]

One thing you didn't mention is the bandito also appeared in a now removed animated video Kung Fu Bandito probably uploaded early 2007. Loco Bandito fighting opponents using the Kung Fu engine and the Nerd appears at the end with the Return of Ganon like image.

James is arguably responsible for making youtube the way it i today

[@redacted2275]

Censored and sanitized? Crowded and full of gaming leechers?
