Interesting that you think the villains come across as human beings in Almost Got 'Im because I find that it devolves them into caricatures of themselves. The stories they tell around the table are not interesting and the episode makes a joke out of them, most especially Killer Croc.

My Ivy episodes are Pretty Poison and Harley & Ivy. Rewatch Pretty Poison, you can see how lonely she is. For whatever reason. And she's emotionally attached herself to plants. They're all she has. Maybe that's why she's so against people, or because she's been hurt in the past. Being fueled by the hatred of how people treat the world that gives them the oxygen they breathe is fantastic. And then Harley & Ivy expands upon her character, allowing her to develop relationships and express more of herself.

Most RUclipsrs who review movies are on the “scandal” and “sensationalist” side of that. Chris stuckmann is the INTELLECTUAL of RUclips reviewers, he knows about them very well, he is honest about it and doesn’t want to force his popularity. Listen to him more and Critical Drinker less. One knows without trying, the other neither knows or tries but wants to maximize views on his channel. That’s the truth.

No. The ending was perfect. He is surrounded by the wolves. And he knows his time is up. But the payoff is that in the beginning, he was ready to kill himself. And now after all he's been through, he knows his end is inevitable. But he's going to take down whoever he can with him. The end says it all: "Come on!" 🔥

I thought you were going to defend him using two n's to spell his last name

Wesker he op

same thing, i really decide to watch movies when he talks good about it, i dont want a review, i want to know is it worth watching it also I Miss Pretty Much It reviews and TheFlickPick reviews

It is really simple. A filmmaker cannot talk about other filmmakers because Hollywood is build on relationships. That is why usually when you watch interviews, everyone is talk positively about other people.

One thing that particularly annoys me is when people allege that Chris just made his video so that people will go easy on his film when it comes out, even though he explicitly says that he is privileged as an indie filmmaker to not have studios breathing down his neck. Like…did these people actually watch the video?

What did Chris do that he needed defense? 😂

Great wink to Resident Evil

His current amount of views are tanking , but hes still has over 2m subs. Ppl are not really unsubscribing but are not watching him as much

My favourite part about this drama was seeing a bunch of RUclipsrs try to gang up on him when they've never accomplished anything noteworthy in their lives and have made nothing but garbage that no one has seen in the filmmaking industry such as Critical Drinker. The definition of insecurity.

You've been saying what I've wanted to say for ages. I completely understand you. I too feel as if I need at least six different pairs of pants when I'm around these creatures lol

Árd fhear 👏👏👏

Nice. Greetings from Donegal.

Madame Chris Cuckmann.

I have no idea who Chris Stuckmann is and I don't have any idea who you are. This all feels like overhearing a random conversation of a neighbouring table at a restaurant. It's kind of enjoyable.

What's hilarious is I watched that review, went "Damn, L take," then immediately watched his next video. I had no idea there was even drama around this lmfao

If you don't know someone personally you shouldn't make a video defending them

You just can't be a reviewer if you're concerned about being too critical. He needs to pick a lane

What really pissed me off was seeing many youtubers with very large amounts of subscribers like the critical drinker went after him, I can understand his fans and smaller RUclipsrs going after him but the ones that have thousands of subscribers, when he’s one of the kindiest people on RUclips is despicable

I unsubscribed from Stuckmann’s channel way back when he first stated his pivot to more “positive” content. I don’t have infinite time or money, so I use film criticism as a way to determine where I want those precious resources to go. I don’t care if his ethos that making movies is hard and he doesn’t want to judge them harshly. That’s fine for him but it makes his videos worthless to me. I don’t need the opinions of someone who is always going to make excuses for bad (or even just disposable) art. That said, I clicked this video to see what the controversy was and I’m glad this was just about a bad opinion of his and not that he was caught talking to minors or something.

The reason Chris didn't make his Madame Web video a non-negative review subtly, but had to state it out loud: he wanted to address the problem of negativity overall on RUclips. I believe this was the wrong move: Madame Web is not an example of a movie that wasn't treated fairly. But I completely agreed with his stance on people crapping on movies instead of having thought-provoking discussions on why certain parts of movies don't impact us like the movies intended. As for him declaring he won't ever be negative on his channel: I hope he comes around and lays down some low-rated movie reviews, because a lot of movies deserve a low rating, because, studio-interference withstanding, a lot of filmmakers still pull through with the project with value at the end.

i think is so idiotic that people attack him, everybody changes, times moves, family, profession, etc

I got a bit bored of his 100% positive tone. Where is the real criticism?

I used to watch Stuckmann a lot a few years ago. He obviously loves movies but he's got such a dry, bland sort of personality that I just got bored. Add the relentlessly predictable positivity and it makes for an awfully lifeless 15 mins watching a video. I understand his new approach and why he's taking it but if you're gonna be a YT creator, you're gonna be in the firing line.

Completely agree! The backlash left me dumbfounded. It was massively blown out of proportion.

Good video

I had always assumed that Chris's decision to have his channel be less negative stemmed from the challenges and barriers he overcame when trying to get shelby oaks made (a positive perspective, it was an empathetic perspective). I had never considered the blacklisted possibility as a serious concern, although it does make sense, in hindsight. I remember the update video from Chris were he stated how difficult it was to get an original script invested in or make get something made that was not immediately comparable to an existing successful film. Which must have been so irritating, and somewhat illuminating for Chris who enjoyed the criticism of unoriginal films (which undoubtedly still took effort to make) but were not stand-outs, none the less (my fav film channels did the same, YMS, RtMM, IHE, and Chris). which would undoubtedly demoralize a filmmaker who may start to feel his efforts toward originality were in vain. I cant wait for my MP4 of Shelby oaks (via kickstarter) and i would like hilariocitys to come back, but i understand if they dont.

100% agreed with everything you said. Critical feedback is important, but it’s not one size fits all. There isn’t a “correct” or ”incorrect” way to go about talking about art. You can approach a discussion anyway you’d like. And with Chris being a director, it makes sense to me why he’d steer clear from the dog piling that takes up 80-90% of film discussion on the internet. Glad nuance still exists in this discussion

The DCAU will always have a better dedication to Conroy than the Arkhamverse.

I knew it was going to be good cmmon man, Maika Monroe our generations Scream Queen is in it

Yes! Shrinkamarink! (spelling?)… was unsettling! Great horror film! Loved it! I enjoyed Longlegs too. Very disturbing. The hooded figure was so intriguing right at the beginning-the preview. Film had a Kubrick feel to it. You mention Mike Flanagan-he’s great. A true genius who captures the very best parts of horror films. Thank you for your review.

Another movie where Nicholas is let out of his cage

It’s embarrassing how many times I’ve watched these not because they’re good. Because the characters. They’re so silly and leon killing 3 families and destroying a highway to shoot 2 dogs while riding a motorcycle makes me laugh every time.

I don’t care how bad Death Island was, I’m just so happy Leon and Jill were in the same thing😂 Great video also

How do I describe this without being weird, you seem endearing

I hate this kind of sentimental "abstract" movie with shit ending. This was a total waste of time. Especially the death of the guy who drowns is simply ridiculously "designed" and stupidly directed; the main character didn't even check why the drowning guy couldn't come up above the water. So this movie is no different from Final Destination where everyone is simply designed to die at some point without any reason. Simply stupid at its best with one of the worst endings in movies' history.

B E A utiful

The fight scene would have destroyed the movie. It's not about who won. It's about the willingness to fight one more time, when you are exhausted, when you are grieving, when you see no hope of survival because even if you slay the wolf, you will be wounded and either bleed out or freeze to death. He didn't retreat or back up when confronted by the "beast". He didn't even wait for it to attack. He attacked it. That's what the movie was about. That's why those last seconds of the movie, focusing on John's eyes as his expression changes into something feral & then we have the POV of him moving directly toward the camera, toward us. It was such a powerful scene that any action sequence would have made this just another survival movie

Nice to see "Missing" get some love.

Glad to see you posting again. Awesome list.

Excellent review! I believe he lived, after killing the alpha he is now the alpha and won’t have to worry about the other wolves challenging him. Now he has to conquer the elements and hopefully not freeze to death. But the alpha (den) represents the last fight, even though he had no faith, and nothing to live for. He mustered up enough to courage to fight. Sometimes in life you have to find that small reason to continue to fight.

Bro do me that guy who was able to read your mind was one of the most annoying boss fights ever in gaming history 😂

Are you going to play through the DLC as well?
