Over the years, I've talked a lot about the divisive sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, known as The Legend of Korra. I've become known for my old video defending the show from the barrage of unfair criticism that it seemed to receive, but since that video my tune has actually changed a bit. The Legend of Korra is not a perfect show by any means, but its nowhere close to the worst thing ever. Today, I'll be detailing all the fantastic things that can be found in The Legend of Korra and why I believe that it is a worthy successor to the Avatar legacy. #thelegendofkorra #korra

In the world of YouTube reviewers, you are obligated to review The Last Airbender live action movie by M Night Shyamalan. The Last Airbender movie is one of, if not the, worst movies ever made to the point where literally everyone knows it. Everyone and their mother has torn into this garbage movie, but at the same time, I think people are a bit too harsh on it or hate it for the wrong reasons. So today, before Netflix reveals more of their live action adaptation or Avatar, we'll be finally taking a look at M Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender and how awful it truly is. #thelastairbender #avatarcool guy stream 😎MattCMG2023-06-10 | i don't know what this is but jay says its a big sea turtle
In 2010, Cartoon Network released Regular Show, created by JG Quintel. As the sister show to Adventure Time, Regular Show became yet another staple of the network and was one of the shows to revitalize it in the 2010s. But what makes Regular Show so great? Short answer: Regular Show is relatable. Long answer: idk watch the video what am I, wikipedia? #regularshow #cartoonnetwork #review

In today's Valentine's Day themed video, I've been inspired to talk about cartoon crushes. Because let's be honest, we all had our first childhood crushes on cartoon characters, and this has since evolved into the culture around waifus and anime girl worship.

In today's video, we continue our yearly tradition of looking back on and reviewing the memes of the past year. 2022 was the start of some hilarious memes like Kid Named Finger, One Piece edits, the Green M&M discourse, and all kinds of others. However, the normies will always lurk in the shadows with their garbage unfunny "memes" (if you could even call them that), so we gotta make fun of the cringe as well.Live Action Muscle Man momentMattCMG2023-01-09 | #shorts #regularshow #muscleman #mymoments Muscle Man smokin a doobie

In today's episode of the anime series, we finally take a look at the big three of Shonen Jump: One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. As someone with a limited view of shonen anime, the big three have always intrigued me but I just never got into them. In the past year, I've decided to fix that. In today's video we review and analyze the stories, characters, themes, and arcs of One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach and what makes the big three so iconic and influential to anime as a medium. #onepiece #naruto #bleach #narutoshippuden #bleachtybw #anime #shonen #shonenjump

Ever since 2019, my love for Pokemon has declined quite rapidly.

For today's fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the discourse is relatively tame. Everyone knows Zuko has the best redemption arc in history or that Toph is the most based character ever. But it wasn't always like that. Back in the day when the show was first airing, the forums at Avatar Spirit were the prime place for Avatar discourse in 2007. Today, we'll be taking a look at the Avatar Spirit forums to see what people were thinking about select Avatar episodes right after they aired.

When it comes to western animation, there is no cartoon more influential than Adventure Time. Though it is fondly remembered, I find that most people don't seem to realize how important of a show this was for not just Cartoon Network, but for animation as a whole. At a time where CN was dabbling in live action programming and where the other networks weren't doing so great animation-wise, Adventure Time revitalized interest in cartoons and ended up changing the entire animation landscape by influencing the art and writing styles of its successors and by serving as a jumping off point for others in the animation industry to create their own cartoons. Adventure Time truly changed everything, and today, we'll be looking back on it. #adventuretime #cartoonnetwork #retrospective

Lately, I've been feeling pretty nostalgic for commercials and bumpers, and it makes sense why. Watching TV as a kid and seeing the branding for kids networks like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel implants these memories within our tiny baby brains, and whether we like them or not, we're nostalgic for them. Today, we're discussing the nostalgia behind network branding, tv bumpers, and iconic commercials, specifically focusing on the 2000s and 2010s. From CN City and Cartoon Network's Noods to music videos airing on Nick and Disney, and all the commercials in between, its time to get nostalgic. #nostalgia #commercials #bumpers

On April 14, 2012, The Legend of Korra, the long awaited sequel of the prolific Avatar: The Last Airbender, first aired. Today, on the series 10 year anniversary, Antoine Bandele has assembled a group of YouTubers in the Avatar community to discuss their favorite scenes from the series, in a collab we're calling One Legendary Scene. My entry is the scene in which Korra confronts Zaheer in prison in season 4 episode 9, 'Beyond the Wilds'. In this scene analysis, we discuss how this scene ties in to Korra's character arc but also tells us a fair bit about Zaheer as well. #OneLegendaryScene #TheLegendOfKorra #LegendOfKorra #Avatar #AvatarTheLastAirbender

Over the past few years, we've seen a rise in terrible critics, nonsensical reviews, and moronic media analysis. Whether its Nostalgia Critic's dated format of recapping the plot of a movie and reviewing it as he goes, Cinema Sins nitpicking every tiny detail (and people taking it seriously), or multi-hour long video essays, the current media analysis landscape is pretty cringe. But YouTube critics aren't the only problem, because casual viewers completely missing the point of every new movie or tv show that comes out by applying modern ideologies to older properties or judging characters based on how good of a person they are also plague the internet. Today, we rant about all the various forms of bad criticism out there. #rant

In 2008, Mars Argo (real name Brittany Sheets) came onto the indie music scene alongside her boyfriend, Titanic Sinclair (real name Corey Mixter). The two seemed to do well as the band Mars Argo, releasing an album titled 'Technology is a Dead Bird' and later an EP titled 'Linden Place', alongside a sizeable YouTube presence on their channel grocerybagdottv. However, upon their breakup in 2014, things went bad, with Titanic Sinclair abusing and harassing Mars Argo, and subsequently ripping her off with the Poppy brand.

We'll be taking a look at the basics of inceldom, some of the common arguments that incels have, my personal opinions on the subject, and of course, the memes.

Before leafing Nickelodeon in 2019, Dan Schneider would develop two final shows: Henry Danger in 2014, and Game Shakers in 2015. Henry Danger proved to be a massive success for the network, spawning spinoffs like Danger Force, and has allowed star Jace Norman to begin working heavily with the network to possibly develop a Henry Danger movie. Game Shakers is the complete opposite: it was hated and considered cringe by almost everyone, and though a lot of that comes from the bad first season (and the Filthy Frank COTW), its not exactly the best show out there. Today's video will be a dual-review/comparison of Henry Danger and Game Shakers to determine why the former succeeded and is looked upon favorably while the latter is hated.

Commentators like Mutahar or Moist Cr1tikal, as well as the internet at large, make Twitter out to be an incredibly toxic place where everybody is mad all the time, when I don't see it that way. Why is Twitter so toxic? Well, Twitter isn't that bad, most people just take it too seriously.

0:00 Intro 1:23 The iCarly Revival is pretty good... 2:19 Carly vs Millicent 3:54 Nostalgia Clicks 4:55 Passion vs Business 6:13 Appealing to Emotion 8:07 The Old Ways vs the New Ways 9:12 The Dot Com Bubble 10:01 Old Internet Aesthetic 11:22 Interesting... 13:22 iCarly Predicted Content Creators 15:31 CMG Karaoke - Leave it All to Me
The original iCarly was iconic for how it used the internet as a storytelling tool and for how it predicted a lot of the modern internet. But the iCarly revival, being made in an era where the internet is part of our everyday lives and is no longer this niche thing, seems to have lost that. The iCarly revival is great, but it also misses the point of what the original had to say. It's interesting to say the least (see what I did there, bit of a Drake & Josh, Miranda Cosgrove, interesting meme moment).

Cryptids: mystical creatures that many people claim exist, but have never been proven by science. Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Mothman, etc. I've always found cryptids to be extremely interesting, even though they're definitely not real. Today, we attempt to debunk a lot of the most popular cryptids, but also talk about what makes them so interesting and fun to talk about. Goblin caught on tape real must see.

ARGs or alternate reality games are a type of game in which the internet and the real world are used as avenues of storytelling. ARGs fall under a broader genre known as unfiction, or fiction that operates under the assumption that everything happening in the story is real or could happen. Today, we discuss what makes ARGs and unfiction so appealing as we look at examples like the Blair Witch Project, the Gravity Falls Cipher Hunt, the Cloverfield ARG, the Sun Vanished, and Marble Hornets.

I've been on YouTube for a long time, and in my many years of reading YouTube comments, I've noticed some trends that I can't stand. Cringe humor, thanking people for the likes, fake stories about your friend who self-unalived in the comments of a music video. YouTube comments are extremely cringe, so today I'll be ranting about it.

After making hit anime like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, in 2011, a group of Gainax employees left the studio to form their own studio: Studio Trigger. Responsible for hits like Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, and Promare, over the years, Trigger has garnered a reputation for creating flashy anime with a distinct visual style and beautiful animation. In honor of their 10th anniversary, I've decided to take a look back at all of Trigger's original works to determine what makes them one of the best anime studios out there.

After the immense success of iCarly and Victorious, Nickelodeon decided to capitalize by giving Jenette McCurdy and Ariana Grande their own show: Sam & Cat. As a spinoff of the previous two shows, Sam & Cat was a 2014 Nick sitcom that seems to have a rather split audience. Some people love it and claim that it was the last good Nick sitcom while others absolutely hate it and think that it doesn't live up to its predecessors. Today, I'll be giving my thoughts on what the show did right and what it did wrong, and why the show has value even though it isn't that great.

Why is cringe so appealing? Today, we'll be answering just that. From cringe comedy in TV shows like The Inbetweeners to modern cringe videos like teenagers reenacting Kingdom Hearts in a parking lot, this is why cringe videos are so great.
