re: The Nostalgia Critic

The Nostalgia Critic is overstepping his area now.

The original Nostalgic Critic was appealing because he reviewed "Nostalgia" material. These were typically movies and television shows that most people suppressed in their childhood memories. Occasionally, he would do "Old vs. New" pieces where he compared older nostalgic films against their newer remakes.

His schtick was basic. He would show highlights of the movie(mostly the more weird, confusing, or terrible scenes) and provide commentary and it worked and it was enjoyable for the most part.

Now that he's apparently utilizing his ad-revenue and rebooted the series. His schtick is to alternate between reviewing a movie(it doesn't have to be old and nostalgic, just a bad movie) or providing his own little thought-pieces on film in general.

In the past, his shows were limited to him and his room, therefore all focus was on either him or the movie being reviewed. Now each review is sprinkled with the hit-or-miss "comedy" skits involving his newer castmembers; token black man and female. These skits can last a good portion of the review and take attention from the true humor of the series, the actual movie review.
