So here's pop quiz

Ha ha....I thought about making a post like yours, but it wasn't going to be as elaborate. I was just going to say, "Remember the episode of AVGN that introduces a black sidekick? I sure don't."

I get sad by how much sense your comment makes.

What happened to the guitar guy? I really miss 'em and so I end up watching early episodes with him.

He's great on the episode of Spider-Man and asks AVGN why kill everyone unnecessarily? lol.

I think this movie shouldn't have aimed as high as it did. This would have worked much better as a character piece set in Philly with James as the Nerd, Kyle Justin and Mike Matei as himself and Kevin Finn playing all the characters he plays.

It should have been an exploration of who the Nerd is as a character and as an internet icon.

I don't think Rolfe thought of the movie in terms of a 'target audience'.

He does not love the AVGN character.

He said in 2010 that he is going to put 'everything he loves' into the movie. And it shows. All the non-AVGN-stuff really shows what he actually loves.

If he loved AVGN, he would have put things like..

- LJN
- Programmers of bad games
- Actual game reviews and game footage
- AVGN-characters, like shítpickle, his clones, Nerdy-Turd, etc.
- A plot/storyline that actually has something to do with AVGN
- Old game systems
- Lots and lots of old games
- At least some raving and ranting about some old, awful game(s) instead of a
mild and praising review of ONE game, that happens during the CREDITS ROLL

(I am sure anyone here can easily come up with more examples)

.. in the movie.

The movie was supposed to be like Wayne's World, as in there being a life and world outside 'the show' - as in AVGN stepping out of the show.

I would have expected that there would be similar showcasing of the show, as in Wayne's World - you see a bit of an episode, you see the basement, where the episode is made, you see another version of an episode in the studio, you get to see the studio and outside of the props and everything.

It all even revolves around an episode, although there's of course the 'injected romance' crap - and it ends by showing 'a special episode'. Lots of 'episode-making-specific-stuff' is shown and showcased.

In Wayne's World, all this is dong very interestingly.

In this movie, it's not done AT ALL. It would have been interesting, had they done it the same way, but it's not done at all. I'd say he betrayed his own promise, or the very least, that video, made in 2010, is very misleading.

Did we all imagine exactly the kind of movie that was shown, from what Rolfe said in that video that I linked to in this post? Or did we imagine something ..

.. better?

I think the main problem is just that the movie wasn't very good.

If it was good, all of these other issues would be less compounded.
