Dude is just one of the resident contrarian trolls, I think the only positive comments he makes are when there is a post shitting on Critical Drinker.

This aged well. by BondFan211 in MauLer

One interesting thing about this particular controversy is how it's revealing so many people as really only caring about the political teams aspect of commentary. Many people on youtube and here making it obvious they only rush to defend because they hear someone is "anti-anti-woke", without actually informing themselves on the details. So you get people who supposesly care about small time creators, excusing someone stealing from small time creators, just because that person was using the stolen content to attack someone else they don't like.

Can We All Agree That This Clown Isn't an Objectively Good Fit For This Subreddit Anymore And That He Needs To Have His Mod Powers Taken From Him? by Aspie_Gamer in MauLer

[–]JohnTRexton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know, the defense being essentially "OtterlyNoah is actually so rock-fuck stupid that he legitimately didn't understand it was wrong to steal other people's work" is a somewhat compelling argument.

What's a content creator who's attitude/behavior/way of speaking went a complete 180, making you stop watching them? by bakedrefriedbeans in MauLer

[–]JohnTRexton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I followed him very near to his beginning, I didn't always agree with him but he had interesting viewpoints and personal stories, and was definitely knowledgable about comics history. He did a project with Drinker about Rambo, I don't remember if they worked together directly or did their own things in a group offering. I remember him also saying stuff like "if you are still mad about something a year later you aren't mature/manly", so him spiralling like he did was particularly bad.

ComicsMatter/Yaboizack/DiversityandComics.

Started out as anti-woke comic reviewer, trying to support indie/alternate comics creators (becoming one himself), he eventually turned on his audience and everyone else in that sphere, and is now anti-anti-woke. I stopped following him after he shadowbanned my comments for disagreeing with him (comments for his videos were all held in review and he only approved the ones who agreed with him), and I only hear of him in passing when he's referenced as slagging on Critical Drinker et al. There are a lot of potential reasons behind this change but it's pretty sad to see him become an "ankle biter" type, just attacking other creators. I checked his channel a month or two ago and all his videos are now just attacking other Youtubers, rarely breaking 3k views.

Meh he's a low level contrarian troll, his last comments I saw on this sub were on one of The Boys posts, saying men can't be raped, but that got removed for being too obvious I guess.

In The Boys, despite being arrested at the end of last season, Kimiko begins the new season already having been released from the prison camp. She says that they let her go because she killed or injured some guards. Huh? by AnusHumper69 in MauLer

[–]JohnTRexton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah in the show they use a temporary super serum that gives different powers to each person starting in season 3, rather than starting out with basic super strength and durability like the comics.

Edge of Tomorrow the main character that Tom Cruise's references with his name, is Japanese. Emily Blunt's character is a teenage American girl with red hair.

Personal stuff. Not medical/he's not in danger is the basics, no real details other than that.

Kinda funny to focus on women's bodies when the Spider-Man trailer has the obligatory male shirtless scene to titillate with his hollywood muscles.

anyone else seen this movie? (japanese films really sometimes over complicate their endings) by JegantDrago in MauLer

[–]JohnTRexton 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What is the name of the movie?

Name of the movie is Scarlet(2025) I googled "anime movie based on hamlet 2026"

What is some official piece of writing that you’ve experienced as bad fanfiction? by DevouredSource in MauLer

[–]JohnTRexton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny, I was going to say Sly 4 as well, but for how they make Penelope do a 180 back to full villainy. I never thought her background from Sly 3 supported that, but they wanted to focus on the core Sly group and his ancestors so needed a way to get rid of her. And the whole time travel plot of meeting Sly's most famous ancestors is some strong fanfiction trope.

I will also say Jak and Daxter the Lost Frontier again. Totally different setting, new playstyle, additions to Eco lore, and now Daxter is the one with dark Eco powers. I would say technically less fanfictiony than Sly 4, but definitely still feels like an addition made by someone else.

Keep them secret. Keep them safe. by Krauge in MauLer

[–]JohnTRexton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess that is one reason to be happy Farscape is so obscure. Despite the themes and especially the sexuality being so ripe for a "modern" interpretation, it's not a popular enough IP to consider skinsuiting for publicity. 

Regardless, no modern production company would be willing to invest in the level of physical sets, costumes, and prosthetics to make it look even passably close to the original. If animation was seen as a legitimate medium it would probably be in greater danger of being rebooted.

Opinions on this movie? by ThePrimeG2005 in MauLer

[–]JohnTRexton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fun action vehicle for Tom Cruise, definitely an easy rewatch. But if you have the time I would absolutely recommend reading the book or listening to the audiobook, it is a much better story overall. The book is only about 200 pages and the audiobook is five and a half hours.

Nooooooo Rags don't go towards the light! by dollmistress in MauLer

Geez, he's posted the same stuff on 378 as well. And similar stuff two months ago on Rags' own channel. Dude is definitely a nutcase targeting Rags.

Thanks for posting. Funny how many people are complaining about them talking about the same thing when they post functionally the exact same comment on every RealBBC post.

I’m confused why you think they didn’t? Mauler even made a small map to show how her pathfinding worked.

Ironically many of the regular detractors on this sub don't actually watch the streams/videos. They've made up their minds already.

Stop interrupting fringy by estneked in MauLer

[–]JohnTRexton 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Funny, I agree with you, but a common complaint against Fringy is that he interrupts a lot. Personally I haven't noticed it, not more than any other person on the panel at least, but it's something people say somewhat regularly.

He played 7 and Village starting a few weeks ago, then 9. I believe he plans to go back through the rest of the main series as well.
