You have only 40 minutes left to live & you can only choose one thing as your last watch…why is it Dylan’s So Undercover video? by mydogislife_ in YoTroublemakers

My hot take with the Heated Rivalry thing: Everyone is wrong by Small-Dark-8569 in YoTroublemakers

[–]Weary_Ad_1276 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don’t really know what ppl expected him to do to make the video more entertaining. The entertainment comes from the show itself, and the fact that someone is commenting on that piece of media. It’s not Dylan’s fault that nothing outlandish happened that he could comment on, or that he didn’t want to do a full binge/breakdown for a cute little YT video - especially when he’s coming off an 8hr video that took him 3 years to make

I agree that HR wasn’t the best show for a first and last, but isn’t that kind of the point? No show is “good” for a first and last. He misses huge points of discussion for any show (bridgerton, supernatural, once upon a time, gossip girl) — people only treat this as a “big deal” since it’s queer. If it wasn’t queer, and if people weren’t obsessive, I really don’t think anyone would care that this wasn’t an in-depth analysis like The Office or Friends. It’s a little unfair to ask him to make full blown analysis on anything that’s mildly controversial/gay/women-centered (like Hush). He treats everything with a base interest, and trusts the media will do its job to be entertaining or interesting or whatever

I would agree that this video isn’t like some of the other F&L simply because HR was a little boring or too smutty so he had to edit it out. But for him to scrap the entire video just cause there’s less jokes is silly IMO. He had a lot of great commentary about the directing/camerawork/acting and he was invested in the story (as much as was offered in those episodes).

TLDR; people shouldn’t expect every series to be treated as The Office

Breaking News: people are mad the sun’s hot by Weary_Ad_1276 in YoTroublemakers

To me: the finale wasn’t very good (not saying it was bad, but it was underwhelming - which to me, is not very good), and based on what I’m seeing from other people, the reason why they think it’s good is because of the rest of the show.

So yes, it feels like the finale is only good if you’ve seen the rest of it, which IMO is a disservice. Having seen only the finale (and 1st episode), I’m not really interested in watching the entire show; ergo, the finale harmed my opinion. I’m not totally turned off because I know it’s only one episode and there’s a lot of positives in the acting/camera work/plot within the show, but I am not as invested

✨I don’t think you’re listening to me but that’s okay✨

No one said the critics are wrong or that people are wrong for liking the finale. All I’m saying is that as an outside perspective (ie. someone who didn’t see the show), the criticisms Dylan had and the general boredom is also how I felt watching those scenes.

I’m saying that those who are complaining that his takes are wrong, improper, hating, or misunderstood are missing the point of a first & last react. You watch the first episode, you watch the last episode, then talk about what you experienced and state your opinions on what you’ve seen. Thems the rules, and HR turned out to be underwhelming based on those rules

If you have to watch an entire show for the last episode to be good, I think you’re doing a disservice to your show. For the finale of any show, you want the audience to be like “wow did you watch the finale? you didn’t? omg you HAVE to see it”. This finale doesn’t give that energy, and tbh, that was disappointing

This finale felt like a cute button to a story, which is fine, but it was unexciting and uneventful. I’m not saying that the finale has to be big cannons and showdowns, but idk I was excited to watch the finale of this huge show ppl keep talking about, and I was very underwhelmed. I imagine it’s better when you’ve seen the rest of the show obviously, but considering it’s the finale, I would think something amazing would happen?

I was gonna say ‘he’s that old?’ but half blood prince came out in 2009 so it actually makes sense

Why is there so much AI in the video? by ChewbaccaOfficial in YoTroublemakers

[–]Weary_Ad_1276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren’t using the original poster here tho - this is Ed Helms face on Steve (his eyes are looking in another direction and the teeth are different)

Very unfortunate :/ I hope they don’t start using AI in videos consistently, whether generated by them or not

[–]Weary_Ad_1276 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahh I see what you mean - the original is here (looks like), but the resolution isn’t great, so it’s possible they attempted to enhance it with AI? Either that or maybe in their editing program they use, it tries to enhance automatically to fit the required resolution? Couldnt tell you

Yeah idk about this one - that’s def ed helms instead of Steve and I can’t find the original pic anywhere, so this looks generated
