I used to like Campea, but as the years have gone on his true colors began to pop-up more. He'll change his tune whenever he feels that he's in the "minority"(i.e. the Star Wars prequels) and he'll exaggerate every piece of information he comes across with. I really liked Schnepp when he was an occasional guest on those talk shows, but I feel he's overstayed his welcome with the AMC/Collider crew and should concentrate more on what he's actually better suited for, directing and writing, specially for animation - His episodes of The Venture Bros. and Metalocolypse were pretty darn awesome. He can talk a good deal about the stuff he likes, but the stuff he doesn't like he doesn't exactly project the best personality. I think Campea was worse when he was with AMC. I those times when he changed his tune is more for when he had to sell a movie for them. He sounded like an advertisement a lot. Yeah, I haven't watch the Collider shows as much. So Schnepp hasn't gotten to that level yet. But the person that is starting to get to that level is Harloff... It's like he's the new Campea. More a fan of Ellis. Oh and about the subject of this thread. I've only seen Jahns on the AMC/Collider shows. Not a fan. Maybe it's the way he talks. Like he always has a cold, with something stuck in his throat and he's trying to talk around it. Campea still has those moments once in a while, this summer he was slamming the latest Transformers movie left and right and pleading for a full-on reboot and was pessimistic about the Bumblebee movie coming out next year, but he mysteriously began to change his tune when John Cena was cast in the movie. OK, I don't mind John Cena but I wouldn't exactly go out and say that he guaranteed to make something gold - The bad movies he's appeared in outweigh the good ones he's done. I mean, if he's trying to get on Paramount's good side or get back to Collider or get a job it would've been more believable had he expressed more enthusiasm if he had reacted positively to the news of Travis Knight directing or Edge of Seventeen's Kelly Fremon Craig re-writing the script, or Hailee Steinfeld starring in it, but no. Also, in case you didn't know, Campea's wife works for Hasbro's media division, and Campea was trashing Hasbro film properties on one of his own shows. Opinions are opinions, but I would not expressed them on a place where literally anyone can see it, it can cost his wife her job. Yeah, not big on Harloff either. A lot of the time he comes off like a grouch and if he's really passionate( love/hate) about a particular franchise he is no more different than some regular YouTuber getting riled up and acting crazy in front of the camera. He and Ellis would be better suited to talk about sports than film, to be honest, hearing them talk about that comes easier and natural whereas film is a different beast, even if that's what they specialize in. Though I disagree with Ellis a lot he seems pretty chill most of the time so I don't mind him as much.

1. 2. I'm supposed to take this guys comments about too much comedy in the MCU seriously when his first statement in his review is a joke about a guy having sex with a hammer?

Ironic, seeing how Thor 2 was more or less humorless. You'd think that totally appeal to people who detract the MCU... Yeah, totally humorless, it almost felt like Schindler's List when Thor took the train to meet the big bad that strongly reminded me of those scenes of poor souls tranported to the concentration champs. MCU and it's unholy obsession with making jokes of horrible things...

You realize this is the same guy that gave Dunkirk a bad review and Suicide Squad a good review.

It's a sad day when Jeremy Jahns is considered "the final word" in a serious film discussion, the guy can be funny and all but he barely fits the description of what a true film critic is and barely expresses his opinions out further than "yeah it was tiiiight, bros!" or "man, this movie suuuuucked!" Oliver Harper is better. I used to really like him (Jahns), but he knows almost nothing about actual filmmaking. Chris Stuckmann is my guy. He's the only critic that I consistently agree with and he knows how actual filmmaking is done. Jahns is good as a casual movie goer critic. Whenever I go with a friend to theaters whos not really a film buff, Jahns is a good source to find out how "enjoyable" the film is. Stuckmann is great (he gave Ragnarok an A). His friend theFLICKpick isn't bad either.

Why should I care what Jeremy Jahns thinks? I stop following that moron after his negative review of GOTG 2. I enjoyed GOTG 2, so he can just fuck off. I'll just stick with Grace Randolph from Beyond the Trailer. At least she comes off as more intelligent and her box office analysis are interesting. And these MCU movies aren't becoming parodies of themselves. Do you know what parody means? The GOTG franchise, Ant-Man, and Thor: Ragnarok just happen to have a little more humor than the rest of the MCU. Besides, Thor happens to work better as a comedy. So if you add more humor in the Thor sequel, add the fact that Chris Hemsworth is actually funny, surprise! Thor: Ragnarok is the best reviewed Thor film. A serious Thor film would look too much like Game of Thrones anyway. Grace Randolph? Lmao that bitch is the most biased and unpredictable movie reviewer there is. I don't take anything she says seriously at all. She praises trash and shits all over actual good movies.

It truly changed the way that I look at action movies and how they should be shot. His insight is fantastic. It's a bit of a chore watching it (20 minutes), but it's worth it. It's really well-made and it sums up most of my complaints with the comic book movie industry. I feel like I'm a spokesman for him now or something lol because I praise his videos so often, but he is really good at what he does.

Eh, she's better than Jahns, but I do agree. She has some questionable taste. She hated 'Dunkirk', she disliked 'Baby Driver', and she had "problems" with both 'Logan' and 'Blade Runner 2049'. Last year she took a massive shit all over 'La la land'. In all fairness Jeremy Jahns has some odd tastes as well like not liking 'Dunkirk' but it just feels like Randolph craps on everything that's not 'Wonder Woman' which she treats like the pinnacle of cinema.

He also has one about horror movies which is also really good.

I have no problem with the comedy, and neither do most people. However, my problem is when that comedy is interjected at the wrong time, examples are the more serious scenes.

Ghostbusters was about a world ending event, and Beetlejuice was about a couple who died young coming to terms with the fact that they're dead. And both were loaded with jokes and are regarded as excellent films.

You have to ponder the meaning of life and wonder what everything means.

They can't stand the fact that a series of self-aware popcorn blockbustes that aren't taking themselves too seriously are doing better than bleak, dire Superman and bleaker, direr Batman. So they endlessly lop verbal abuse at us and the things we like hoping to beat us into submission with their bile.

Only people devoid of reality are fighting about this. DC fans are clearly unstable, but the sample size is very small. Just like the MCU fanboys who go insane too. Even so much to trash non MCU Marvel movies. The reasonable people from both sides are being drown out by those who only want to fight. A reason I'm glad I don't have much time o attend the boards anymore. It is nonsense and who has time for that?

Damn. MCU fanboys really are hopeless. Anyone defending this incessant use of childish sitcom humor in these movies really needs to expect more from these films. They aren't rocket science.
