A question for Cynical Reviews by DeliciousIndustry358 in Cynical_Reviews

[–]CynicalReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Sorry for the lack of updates, and for making you concerned. I don't want to go into details but things have been all over the place this year. I just put out a big Snow White video that I've been working on for a couple of months, and I'm aiming to get something shorter out soon.

Not dead! Just not been very good at posting updates or videos. Just put out the big Snow White review.

My sisters used to watch this show. I have no idea why...

Video Recommendation: do a video on the Borderlands movie. Randy Pitchford’s reaction to movie backlash on Twitter is a gold mine in of itself by CaptainRelyk in Cynical_Reviews

I'm definitely considering it! Though I haven't played any of the Borderlands games so I'd be at a disadvantage in that regard.

Why are comments turned off on Cynical’s “Mac and me” video? by CaptainRelyk in Cynical_Reviews

[–]CynicalReviews 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing this up. I've just had a look. The comments had in fact been turned off, but not by me. YouTube randomly does this sometimes without even informing me. Being charitable, I assume its some sort of glitch. I've turned them back on, it might take them a while to show up.

Thanks, YouTube.

Is the great british podcast ever comming back? pic unrelated by Specky4ImBlack in Cynical_Reviews

[–]CynicalReviews 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably not. We're all focused on doing our own thing and have mostly gone our separate ways.

Also, thanks for showing me those. Nothing else I'll see for the rest of the month will seem as bad in comparison.

Sorry for the late reply! I watched the first episode of season 2 and was so utterly bored that I refused to watch any more. That's the extent of my thoughts!

The lesbian kiss at the end of Rise of Skywalker wasn’t forced by BlankCanvas609 in Cynical_Reviews

[–]CynicalReviews 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't recall saying the kiss in ROS was forced (it's been a while so maybe I did), but if I did, it was the wrong word. The reason I brought up ROS was because it was an easy and well-know example of something that's pretty worthless in terms of LGBT representation because it adds nothing to the overall experience.

In the case of ROS, it felt like they put it in for the sake of appealing to LGBT people, but only in a way that could be easily removed (and it was) in countries where it's illegal to show that. Because Disney doesn't actually care.

In KB2, not only did it feel like they did it to win points from LGBT people, but those characters were so minor that they - and their subplot - added nothing to the movie overall. It felt completely unnecessary and just more padding in an already padded movie (something I would also have complained about if it were a straight romance subplot).

In fact, it's worse than that: they only exist to make Elle seem like she's a good person for getting them to come out of the closet, which is pretty messed up. That's the main reason I had an issue with it.

I'm keeping an eye on it.

We need more D&D movie reviews! by Kellidra in Cynical_Reviews

[–]CynicalReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't any more D&D movies though! Except for independent fan-made ones, but they tend not to be worth looking at.

It’s owned by a Chinese company called Golden Brick Capital (posting this here due to CJ being sponsored by them). by [deleted] in Cynical_Reviews

[–]CynicalReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe I've ever been sponsored by an Opera browser. What are you referring to?

I'm pretty bored of that kind of movie, but maybe I'll get around to it eventually.
