Season 0 abridged is pretty good so far.

As for the Cancelled Series, I'm not impressed. I definitely dislike it when people try to rush him, so I wait patiently for him to make his videos. The way he treats the characters makes me sick. The jokes about Mai, Malik and Bakura were unneeded. They were only used to make Dark Yuugi look like a prick.

The abridged counterparts are basically taking over the actual characters in the fandom. I also dislike it when he has to resort to a "useless Jaden" joke, it shows that he's seriously running out of material.

"The way he treats the characters makes me sick."

Wow. Are you being serious?

Yikes! While I agree with some things you've said (the part about YGO:TAS characterisation replacing canon as the default setting when people write the cast in a lot of the fandom, which is actually more a reflection of the fandom itself and the mentality of the people in it than LK and what he does) you do come across as rather bitter and ... overly serious. 'Makes you sick'? Really? Perhaps you didn't mean to sound so vehement, but that does seem quite an emphatic way of talking about an unofficial satire that, while it has gained notoriety and become (insanely) popular, would not exist if not for a love of the canon material. If TAS has started to affect your love of YGO and you don't like the direction it has taken, then maybe it's better to stick with the place in its timeline when you still liked it and not go any further, or go back to canon entirely.

Personally, while some of the changes in TAS have been jarring, that's what you get when something goes from being the product of one mind to that of several. It may just be a reverse case of 'working alone you can't please all people all the time' - more 'lots of people working together can't please every individual'. Or something. I still like it for what it is: a bit of satire not intended to be anything but a fun way to pass the time and reflect that, daft as it is, YGO has endured for so long because we like daft things, however much we like to pretend otherwise.

[You have no idea how long I spent thinking of the right way to phrase this post so it didn't make me sound like a preachy knobhead. I think I may sound more like a pleb though. Feh.]

Are you talking about the jokes in the last episode about Mai being "slutty" and Malik and Bakura looking like women? You do realize this is hardly the first time LK's used jokes like that, right?

You sound pretty bitter. No offense, but I'm one of the biggest fans of Yami (aka Dark Yugi) out there, and really, I think you're taking it way too seriously. You remind me of someone infamous on Deviantart who flipped their shit over the constant "Shut up Mokuba" jokes.

da

Just because he's used the jokes before (and he has, over and over and over and over...), doesn't mean they don't suck though! They're kinda offensive but "they're just fictional characters shut up!!!1111" so whatever.

I think he presents jokes he reuses in non-tiring format though, but maybe that's just me. That's not what I was intending to say though. I can see how they'd be offensive but really I don't think that was the intent. (Anyone who watches the actual show knows Mai isn't some big whore, she's just flirty; for example.)
