AVGN 100

I had a blog entry ready for this, but I’m going to hold on that. Instead, here’re some comments I posted on a YouTube channel;

No, I don’t think it’s hasty or mean at all to say that IG’s ROB video is better than AVGN’s ROB video. I think it’s the truth. And if you enjoyed parts of it or even the whole thing, good for you. I’m glad you got some enjoyment out of it. But like I said in a previous comment, this practically tore my soul away. It depressed me to no end. In fact, this could very well be the one that kills off any interest I had remaining in the AVGN series. And this is coming from someone who has been following this series since its online debut in 2006. Even when the quality started to wane and I began to lose interest in the [angry reviewing] genre, I’d still watch some AVGN. But now…? Why bother? It seems that for the 100th episode, he decides to go down a path others have gone… and fail so miserably that it hurts.

Whatever remote sliver of credibility AVGN had as a reviewer DIED with this video. Whatever spark of creativity that was present with the AVGN series DIED with this video. There is no way in hell anyone can convince me that James Rolfe has the creative drive to push the series to new heights when, for the 100th episode, he opts to rehash the “Evil ROB” horseshit that has been DONE TO DEATH already. It’s especially telling when the Irate Gamer does a BETTER job with exposition and narrative for a NOTHING episode than Rolfe did for his hundredth. This episode makes the Crazy Castle episode seem like Citizen Kane in comparison!

And if this crap is what he considers to be a worthy 100th episode, then I absolutely DREAD what he has in store for the upcoming AVGN movie.

IMPACT (Feb. 25th, 2011) – Hey, remember when WCW was ripping off WWF?

Judging from the last bit, TNA probably signed WCW’s long-inactive Gimmick Xerox machine to a contract. At this point, though, ripping off WWE segments seems to be a much better attempt at intriguing storylines than whatever TNA is cooking out of their ass.

Hey, TNA? Did you know that the return of Sting isn’t the most shocking moment of the year? Because that’s kind of obvious. I think that even the most braindead fan knows a Sting return to TNA is no longer shocking.

Shocking moment of the year? I’d go with THE ROCK COMING BACK TO WRESTLEMANIA and his BREAKDOWN of John Cena at RAW. Do you think anyone is going to care about JWOWW coming back to TNA?

By the way, TNA, please kill this Kurt Angle/Jeff and Karen Jarrett bullshit. That’s probably the main reason why I’m NOT watching your TV at this point.

RAW (Feb. 21, 2011) – 2-21-11 equals two senior citizens teasing a Bottle of Geritol On A Pole Match at Mania

As posted several days ago, on this very blog;

“Triple H has to be pissing himself right now. At this point, his potential big comeback to face off against Undertaker (also making the big comeback 2-21-11) with special ref Shawn Michaels means NOTHING. The reaction is basically going to be:

“‘Yeah, okay, those guys are coming back. That’s nice. Career vs. Streak, Inferno Death Match. Nice. Nice. But THE ROCK’S COMING BACK!!!!'”

I mean… seriously, who gives a shit at this point? They’re gonna have a match… so what? They had a match ten years ago, who cares? THE ROCK’S COMING BACK!

Oh, by the way, Cena’s return to Thuganomics in his comeback against the Rock? Oh boy. Judging from that comeback, the Brooklyn Brawler has a better grasp on Thuganomics than Barney’s turd does at this point.

Anyway, here’s some thoughts on the rest of the show;

COMIC REVIEW – MMPR: Ninja Rangers #5

So this is it, the final Marvel comic of any sort of Power Rangers (or was that issue 7 of the other series?) And what do we get? A random bullied girl  who hates everyone being turned into a witchy witch who can control the weather. It’s a short story with little substance and a lot of Zord action. And the artwork is adequate enough that the Zords look like what they should, but other than that, it’s a nothing story… the story of Marvel’s output in their tenure with the comic rights to the franchise.

Since somebody will complain that I haven’t done the other half… well, I did say I wouldn’t. However, in short, the VR Troopers stuff that comprise the other half of this flip book series, for the most part, have consistent artwork and the stories are about on par with the Rangers output, but without a solid grasp of the series, I don’t know how close to the show these stories are.
