The only thing I'm bitter about is that Todd has become yet another addition to the overly long sketches Nostalgia Chick puts in her reviews. I swear her actual movie reviews are getting shorter and shorter so that her skits can be longer.

[(Anonymous)]

Came here to say THIS exactly.

[punishermax.livejournal.com]

Can we just make it a rule to just stop these skits in reviews altogether? They are very, very, very, very rarely funny and Linkara's in particular are fucking awful because I seriously just want to watch a comic review, not this really weird ongoing story with some dude in a helmet, and I guess his gun is possessed or something? and I guess Spoony is here and, oh my god what is even going on.

[(Anonymous)]

Or at least limit them to being only a minute or so long. That's what I like about Phelous and Nostalgia Critic's reviews. 97%+ of their video is usually (though there are exceptions) dedicated to the actual review, while the skits take up about 3% at the most. And they are usually related to the movie in some manner.

I don't watch Linkara's reviews, but I was pretty disappointed in Lindsay's The Little Mermaid review. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite childhood movies and I would have loved to hear her views on it...more specifically, her opinions on certain scenes (sort of like what Critic does). But instead we got a brief rundown of the plot, some of the sexism in the film, then about 5 minutes worth of the makeover fairy giving Todd a makeover and being generally obnoxious, and another 3 minutes of the TGWTG's female cast singing. That =/= a review. >_>

[punishermax.livejournal.com]

The thing is,she can actually make funny skits, her Grease 2 video was a good example, she cut down the skits, and some were actually pretty funny Todd's I hate everything song in particular. The problem is that she just wants to cram Nella and her other friend down peoples throats and it's really getting irritating.

I have no problems with her friends popping up to make jokes, hell Nella was fucking hilarious in her earlier reviews, but holy shit we did not need the fucking Dark Nella saga. It ruined like, all her reviews for however long it went on because I could not care less.

If you look at the best reviewers on the site, you'll see the best ones have the least amount of skits: Cinema Snob, Lupa, Todd, Brows Held High, and Phelous. I keep the Critic off the list because he seriously overuses memes past the point of insanity.

[lit-wolf.livejournal.com]

I am fine with skits; always have been and always will be. If the reviewers want to have some fun with their reviews, I'm all for it. But I agree that they shouldn't neglect the movie in favor of their skits and I've come to realize that the Nostalgia Chick has been doing this a lot.

Linkara and Spoony always keep their skits at the beginning or end of their reviews so that people who don't care for them can avoid them and the rest of the video is dedicated to the review itself. The Chick's videos are based on the skits rather than the videos, it seems. As much as I loved the Dark Nella saga (because Nella sold that story to me, not the Chick), the movies featured in it didn't get as much screentime as the skits did.

So yeah, in the case of the Nostalgia Chick, I'm starting to agree with people who think her skits are way too long and overused.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

If you look at the best reviewers on the site

You do realize that which reviewers are "best" is completely a matter of opinion, right? I like some of the ones you mentioned (Lupa and Todd), but I also like Critic, and Film Brain (who doesn't do skits at all, AFAIK) and, yes, Linkara and Spoony. Hell, I watched Spoony's FFVIII and FFX reviews specifically FOR the story lines.
/good God, your icon is hypnotic... [nod nod nod nod nod nod]

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Oh no, a reviewer is having creative fun with her own reviews. Arrest her!

[lit-wolf.livejournal.com]

Hey, I am all for the reviewers having fun. I'm one of the most vocal supporters of skits and storylines for TGWTG reviewers you will ever find. But even I can admit that the Nostalgia Chick's reviews, her actual views of critiques of the films, have been gradually decreasing in length and depth as she's increased her focus on the skits.

Watch one of her earlier reviews back to back with a newer one, like Mulan against Grease 2, or Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas against the Little Mermaid. You'll see what I mean then.

I still love her reviews and her skits but she seems to have lost her balance as the skits are taking center stage compared to the actual review of the films.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

I've watched all of her reviews, to be honest, and I find the most recent ones far more fun and witty. I think she's finally found her stride and finally found what makes her happy while still having fun with what she does.

Therefore I think this is one of those moments in which we must agree to disagree.

[lit-wolf.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[shire-wench.livejournal.com]

What video is that shot from anyway? o.O

[arostine.livejournal.com]

Their transformers 3 vlog, I think

[unifilar.livejournal.com]

I was behind the Todd/Lindsey/Lupa funny little love triangle, but I've dropped it completely since I've become convinced that Lupa and Film Brain secretly like each other since watching their crossover and reading their tweets to each other. Sounds dumb, but there you go.

And I promised myself I wouldn't ship TWTG characters, too. Fail. =(

[darkangel-wings.livejournal.com]

With you, lol. And unlike a lot of people, the sketches don't really bother me - I tend to like them, and since they're both in my top 5 reviewers on the site, I like seeing them crossover. I'm pretty jealous of them both, really, though more in the "damn, these people seem awesome and like they'd be so much fun to hang out with!" but am mostly just really happy that the two of them seem so happy together.

[spider-rogue.livejournal.com]

I really enjoy watching them interact, they bounce off each other well. The Transformers 3 vlog is one of the more enjoyable vlogs I've seen lately.

Re: let me reply with my Kaylee icon

[writerserenyty.livejournal.com]

I just have to say that I love your Kaylee icon

[hako-neko.livejournal.com]

Wait, are they actually dating or...?

[animeshen.livejournal.com]

yeah thats my question. I thought it was just a gag?

[emeriin.livejournal.com]

The gag is that Chick the character has it bad for Todd the character while he wants Lupa. The reality subtext is that Linds and Todd are dating and are adorable.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Eeee~ I love that. I love it when people do that.

[(Anonymous)]

You love when people put their happy relationships on display for all to see and force us lonely people to watch it when all we want to watch is a film review that is supposed to make us?
