I think the series went through a bit of a funk during the dream arc (which I still enjoyed and have a fondness for since I discovered the show in my late teen years and that arc was the one in syndication) but I think 12-14 revitalized the show. Also Into the Cold is one of my favorite television series finales period. I loved every second of it. Also Archer, Barry and Katya at the end had me cackling.

The only problem i have with the show is that after Archer Danger Island they no longer produced DVD's so I can not re watch them Streaming is too expensive. Not so much of a problem they did tend to drop off a bit.

I still haven't started X-Men '97, I'm on my usual "waiting until it's finished so I can binge it" shit, but I believe it's finished now so I should be starting it soon! Yeah I agree, between stuff like The Boys and Invincible we have enough of the super violent superhero media, I'm glad '97 didn't go that route. Man, I don't remember any of this ending stuff from the 90s Spiderman. Dormammu was in it?? Damn. That's a good point, the SpiderVerse films have been covering all that well so it'd be hard to make this revival distinct without seeming like it's riding SpiderVerse's coattails, but it's definitely possible if done right! Anyway, great video as always dude! 👌Your version of Spiderman '98 would be excellent for sure, and if they make it happen I'd hope they'd at least follow something similar and not just go for cheap nostalgia bait and such.

The Theatrical version is really the best version...its the reason why great directors hire great editors, because it's just a much more compact, yet effective and enjoyable, masterpiece of a film. Yet more proof of how the 70s are still the best decade of film ever (and I need not list all of the films backing me up lol). To me, the Redux version adds nothing...it's fun to watch, but a distraction to the original. BTW, I REALLY enjoy the Workprint that's back out on YT, only because you can see the director's thinking process at different points/scenes in the film...a lot of it understandably needed to be cut, but it's fun to watch nonetheless. Where I think Coppola did BETTER was with The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone...that is a MUCH better version than Godfather 3, namely with just a few cuts, but also by putting the 1st meeting about the Immobiliare deal at the VERY beginning of the film, before the big part, etc. It sets the proper tone for the rest of the film.

Cyclops would've been a full fledged leader, building the danger room and training new members of the X-Men (which would've included Gambit).

I ended up finding them through their shorts and then as I watched more of them, got recommended the fan compilations of favourite moments or "x out of context" which got me into watching the full shows on their site. I didn't even realise for a while that it was College Humour, at this point they have successfully branched off from the original channel into their own brand that a lot of casual watchers end up with the same revelation that I did. There's many reasons for their success but I think a notable one is that the people working there do seem happy there and it seems like a positive and accepting working environment. Of course it's a job but I don't get the same kind of vibes from something like what Smosh was doing up until Ian and Anthony became involved with the brand together again. The content preceding that felt like Dropout but with a gun pointed at their heads off-screen.
@anniestroooАй бұрын
Something I saw mentioned often was the cast size compared to Dropout. Watcher has a few famous faces that bring in viewers and they are needed for any content that they want to start!

Ahh yes, been waiting for this one! Since we discussed it a bunch less than a week ago in person, I don't have much more to add here. I even read up on CH's history myself when I first got Dropout, mostly cause I was curious what happened since when I used to watch in the early 2010s that got them to this point. They definitely did it right, I remember starting to feel myself outgrowing their style of comedy back then, and I'm amazed at how well they've evolved. Conversely, Watcher clearly have a lot to learn. I was pretty floored at that video you showed talking about how they didn't even mention it in their Patreon livestream the day before, they even alienated their already paying fanbase, that's wild. I get that maybe they wanted to announce it everyone all at once, but still. Oh well, I'll keep enjoying Dropout cause they're doing it right, and Watcher, well, I guess we'll see, but I certainly ain't paying for that sub. Excellent video as always dude! 👌

I ended up finding them through their shorts and then as I watched more of them, got recommended the fan compilations of favourite moments or "x out of context" which got me into watching the full shows on their site. I didn't even realise for a while that it was College Humour, at this point they have successfully branched off from the original channel into their own brand that a lot of casual watchers end up with the same revelation that I did. There's many reasons for their success but I think a notable one is that the people working there do seem happy there and it seems like a positive and accepting working environment. Of course it's a job but I don't get the same kind of vibes from something like what Smosh was doing up until Ian and Anthony became involved with the brand together again. The content preceding that felt like Dropout but with a gun pointed at their heads off-screen.
Something I saw mentioned often was the cast size compared to Dropout. Watcher has a few famous faces that bring in viewers and they are needed for any content that they want to start! Dropout has famous faces but they also have introduced enough of a cast that you can enjoy videos without Brennan or Sam for example without them feeling missing!
This is an excellent point To bring up the nebula comparison as well, they also host a large roster of talent, not just a few people
Hey I wanna say; good thumbnail, it got me to click on the video!
Thank you 😊
Something that i also like as a Dropout member- no ads! No higher teirs of shit for stuff! NO ADS. And you can share the username and password with as many people as you like NETFLIX.
The thing I like most about Dropout is their independence. I’d been watching CH since Jake and Amir’s Stacy’s Mom prank. So being able to watch that entire arc has been awe-inspiring.
Dropout model. Aka a lot of Cute OF people.
I know this is the end but i still wish there was a 2-3 part movie on answering questions. Where's Len Trexler? What was on the tape with Nikolai Jakov? Where's Conway Stern? Wheres Seamus and you think a lot of the bad guys got their guns from Rodney?
WHO was conway's boss. Sure we can assume it was Slater, but I have a feeling they could have TOTALLY revealed it to be Archer's father the whole time. While Trexler... Considering Odin got sold out to Fabian. He probably is living at a home, after he sold it for a head of lettuce for his rabbit.
Ahh yes, been waiting for this one! Since we discussed it a bunch less than a week ago in person, I don't have much more to add here. I even read up on CH's history myself when I first got Dropout, mostly cause I was curious what happened since when I used to watch in the early 2010s that got them to this point. They definitely did it right, I remember starting to feel myself outgrowing their style of comedy back then, and I'm amazed at how well they've evolved. Conversely, Watcher clearly have a lot to learn. I was pretty floored at that video you showed talking about how they didn't even mention it in their Patreon livestream the day before, they even alienated their already paying fanbase, that's wild. I get that maybe they wanted to announce it everyone all at once, but still. Oh well, I'll keep enjoying Dropout cause they're doing it right, and Watcher, well, I guess we'll see, but I certainly ain't paying for that sub. Excellent video as always dude! 👌
Starting next month I'm charging you, and only you, to watch my videos. It's a beta.
Damn! Now I gotta start making videos again and then do the same on my channel so we can cancel each other out lol
My plan, it works
