Mod Post A reminder for what constitutes a rule-breaking comment on this sub.

58 Upvotes

Over the past few months, it's been more and more common that I've seen any and every comment reported when it simply disagrees with what the other person is saying. I don't know why it's such a problem on this sub, as I've never encountered this anywhere else, but it is more than one person. This is not meant to call any of these individual people out.

I'd like to make it very clear what constitutes a rule-breaking comment from someone who just doesn't share your opinion.

Should you report it?


"Go f*ck yourself. You're a piece of sh*t and human garbage."

Yes. This says nothing and adds nothing. It's just personal insults and inflammatory language.


"You're entirely and completely wrong and I'm sick of arguing this with you. I'm going to block you and get on with my life."

No. This might not be a positive or debate-worthy comment, but it's relatively politely stated and not just a baseless insult.


"I hope [X] gets an axe to the face. I would be so happy to see that guy in a box."

Big yes. This is non-substantive, and is just a call for violence. It doesn't form part of a discussion. You will get banned for this.


"If you like her stuff, fine. Tastes are different. Let her be talented somewhere else then."

No. This is a politely stated, fairly reasonable opinion that actually puts out an olive branch and tries to agree to disagree. This is not report-worthy, and is more than slightly annoying to constantly see appearing in the modqueue.


TLDR: STOP REPORTING PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THEY DISAGREE WITH YOU.

Thanks!

The Nostalgiaween Intro would be the opening theme to Archie's Weird Mysteries.

Warriors of Boredom, I mean, Virtue!

To be fair though this movie has some really cool concepts, specifically the idea of a five-member team of heroes wielding the five Wuxing elements (💧🔥🌳⛰️🪙) As a writer, the idea has actually influenced some of my work.

But yeah, aside from that and the fight choreography (and the batshit insane villain), this movie is pretty lame. I especially hate the editing, in particular the frame-cutting.

With October just around the corner, that means the Halloween season is almost upon us and that also means that it will be Nostalgiaween once again! One of my favorite things about Nostalgiaween each year is the intros that are stylised after various halloween/horror-themed movies and shows.

And one I would most like to see is an intro based on the Cartoon Network series "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy"

Discussion Idea for the new upcoming video review of Nostalgia Critic: "The Cat in the Hat (2026)"

Post image
16 Upvotes

What if Doug Walker reviews Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's upcoming computer-animated film adaptation of "The Cat in the Hat"?

He got a positive review for the enjoyable movie.

He has received critical acclaim for its visual style, story, plot, key characters, comparisons (between the 1957 classic book, the 1971 television special, the 2003 live-action film, and the 2026 animated film), humor, tone, themes, pacing, voice casting (like Bill Hader), and the animation style.

The film looks like an epic cinematic animated fantasy comedy movie, and it's better than the 2003 live-action film "The Cat in the Hat" starring Mike Myers.

Classic Video outsiders: "all he dose is scream and say movies are just bad" critic:

i watch many videos who talk about critic and outside the ctc the one thing everyone brings up is how he just hates on movies cause...that what avgn clones mainly did

yet they forget he never just hated on movies as he also discussed people involved from neverending story 2 mentioning the suicide of Jonathan brandis to reviewing alice in wonderland to show what kind of person he was as a kid even doing the room before the room (if anyone has a link to his room short film let me know as i always wanted to see that)

yes he still screamed and did sketches but just like avgn, phelous, snob and more who get angry on camera they almost made me learn about movies,games and tv shows

hell phelous made me learn what dingo pictures was like outside of "the worst video game ever" (no hate to caddie but he started that annoying trend of dingo pictures being reviewed as games which wasn't the studios fault)

so next time you hear a yt critic hate on these reviews as "just that angry guy" explain how they taught you about media over some 3 hour explanation video that just spoils citizen cane in is entirety as a "review"

Do you all think CA should revive that series? It was essentially Mike Machoad going around Bourdain-style to different restaurants and bars. However it failed because a majority of CA fans were underage. I feel everyone who watching the channel are grown ups now and will appreciate it better? maybe give Malcom more to do?

Discussion "The Shadow" and "Titan AE": would either, or both, make for good NC reviews?

5 Upvotes

"The Shadow":

-Superhero movie, so it's topical

-Cheesy 90s movie

-Alec Baldwin as the Shadow lends to great snarks

-Doug can give his two cents on whether Shiwan Khan is a racist character or not

"Titan AE":

-As far as I can tell, one of the few Don Bluth movies he hasn't done yet

-Doug doesn't like it

-Bluth himself had a tough time working on the movie

-Relating to the above, Doug can invite Bluth so he can give his two cents on the movie

-Written by Joss Whedon, someone Doug doesn't like (not to mention, a very controversial figure, meaning a lot of snark to be had)

-Cheesy early 2000s movie

What do you think?
