If YMS were to review books the same way he reviews movies would he be taken seriously be the literary establishment?

Dogfucker.

>>24497222 (OP)
I am a big fan of his and I genuinely think that had he had the will to read books and review them, his hyper-autistic analytical reasoning would get him far in the literary world. I know I'd read his reviews.
>>24497224
He's a horsefucker, at least get it right.

>>24497222 (OP)
No. His dismissive cynical style is best suited for le pop movies. No serious lit critic would consider him his equal. He should stick to movie reviews and bbc videos.

>>24497224
If you aren't a sexual deviant in at least one way, you're never going to make it as an artist. Especially not as a literary author.

>>24497222 (OP)
He doesn't even have the decency to finish the movies he reviews. No way he would sit through a novel
It would be funny though to hear him say bullshit like crime and punishment invented realism in literature before that authors were just fucking around but it is very boring and hasn't aged well and 20th century novels are obviously better

>>24497222 (OP)
No.

i mean what do you even show on screen if you're ranting about a book?
most book review videos suck because its just someone talking at a camera

>>24497222 (OP)
>would the "film critic" who thinks Citizen Kane was the first ever cinematic three-act strory and who rapes dogs be a serious literary critic?

This era of Youtube was so insufferable. Cunts like this and I Hate Everything really thought being an autistic weirdo was cool and edgy. Now YMS fucks dogs and IHE was buckbroken by Destiny and all its DLC, which he still makes 3+ hour videos on.
Derek Savage won.

>>24497376
Pre IHE YMS was pretty great, though. Also Derek Savage didn't win shit, they all lost.

>>24497442
>Also Derek Savage didn't win
He made a trilogy of movies. IHE and YMS have never made a movie. They make YouTube videos. That's their legacy. Pretty sad, if you ask me.

>>24497229
That’s Vaush

Knowing he came out as a faggot/furfag makes his obsession with Cool Cat very creepy in hindsight.

>>24498731
>Knowing he came out as a faggot/furfag
he never came out
it was hyper obvious since the channel was founded

>>24498989
>he never came out
Yeah he did.
>it was hyper obvious
Only in hindsight.

>>24497229
>analytical reasoning
hahaha no, I don't really think so. The moment I gave up on him was when I saw his "Don't look up" review, the movie wasn't really a masterpiece but it was pretty clear that he had already decided it was shit before even watching it

>>24497224
/thread

>>24499208
That movie was complete shit though. Imagine enjoying the guy who made Step Brothers taking himself seriously and preaching climate politics at you for over 2 hours. He should have stuck to making boner comedies with Will Ferrell playing a manchild.

>>24497376
Damn I still remember those days. iHE was one of my favorite youtubers. Pure comedy content. His destiny content I couldn't give fucks about cuz it's vidya

>>24497376
The New Atheism era taught people to bloviate even when they know fuck all about something and that lead into the next era of people thinking that shitting on lowbrow media was criticism. Then we got all the political shit we have now.

The only good era of YouTube was the first few years when you'd find random weirdos uploading content and most of the site was entire episodes of South Park cut up into 4 minute segments to get around the length restrictions.

>>24497222 (OP)
No. He can't get into old movies. Books would probably bore the fuck out of him.

>>24497222 (OP)
He isn't taken seriously by the film establishment, why would he be taken seriously in lit? His opinions are all bad and he is a gay fedora furry, so even within the framework of critique he doesn't represent anything like the body of move watchers, to say nothing of readers.

Great Critics come in two varieties, there are those who can speak directly to a plebeian audience with whom they share similar value and tastes, and earnestly edify them as to whether a film satisfies those or not, and then there are those who are knowledgable and persuasive to the point of being able to convince their audiences to adjust their own values and tastes in film. To draw examples in Film, this is your average youtube slop reviewer and RLM, respectively.

YMS is neither. He is a sort of shitlib novelty critic like a left-leaning Mauler, hollow and formulaic nitpicking to satisfy a sort of constructed objective idea of what films are supposed to be that falls apart if applied to any work of any actual meaning.

Well, what exactly does a person like this bring to literature? Do you think he's going to read Dune and give a point by point whiny breakdown of everything wrong with how Herbert writes women, or Paul's metamorphosis from aimless child to prophet? What could this mooncalf possibly have to say that you would find interesting on any subject? What experiences has he had in his life that make his dog-eyed opinion on anything great men wrote relevant? Nothing of course. I would not be surprised to learn that he is functionally illiterate.

Do not waste your time thinking about people like this.

Sharko?

Just found out this faggot lives in the same city as me. Time to move.

>Lion Ling

What it is? Chinese spoof of The Lion King?

>Chen, the entire Yellow River Delta is our empire. If Heaven wills, it will all be yours. >And that desert place, Dad?
>That's Mongolia, son. There are many vermin there, Roun-ran. Don't go there.

>If you aren't a sexual deviant in at least one way, you're never going to make it as an artist. Especially not as a literary author.
Why is that?

>>24497222 (OP)
What's the book equivalent of Synecdoche New York?

What's the book equivalent of dying from canine AIDS?

>>24500463
He made it up.

>>24497222 (OP)
No, a large portion of his reviews are just him getting mad at "plot holes" and other petty shit that doesn't really matter, he'd get easily filtered by any serious literature.
>If Porfiry Petrovich knew Raskolnikov was the killer all along, why didn't he lock him up immediately?! Why is he letting a killer roam free, is it just to make a point?! This book doesn't make any seeeense!!!!!!

>>24499231
>Used to make dozens of videos a year on petty shit he disliked and bad movies
>Now makes one video a year on a bygone video game series nobody cares about
What happened?

>>24500502
Idk. Burned out probably . Ran out of ideas. The petty shit he disliked was obviously tongue in cheek content. And his hilarious rants on trash movies were his best content. I guess he started taking himself too seriously and became a professional whiner

>>24497222 (OP)
His reviews are heavily focused on movie specific things like production, acting, shot composition, and other things of that ilk. He can go for half an hour autistically breaking down the technical aspects of a single scene. However, he's also annoying, terminally online, and has a severe case of political brain rot.
I don't think he'd be able to give good book reviews for all these reasons.

>>24497229
>>24499208
>>24499226
He thought Emilia Pérez was a good movie. He gave it a 7/10. I was waiting for him to make a full video, taking the absolute piss out of those retarded songs and horrible acting, but he thought it was fucking good.

>>24500493
This.
>So Achilles knew he was going to die but still joined the battle? Like, it sucks his friend died but it is a fucking war. People die. Why is Achilles whining when he could simply not participate in the battle?

>>24499246
>The only good era of YouTube was the first few years
no

>>24500493
Correct. I only watch guys like YMS or Fantano when they review something truly awful. They're entertainers, not arbiters of taste. The moment they get earnest, their ideological leanings or the limits of their aesthetic judgment start to show.

>>24500463
Something about the sublimation of sexual energy into art

>>24497222 (OP)
I don't know. He could probably do it, despite his failings as a critic, which other anons itt have pointed out. I do like his videos when he's just shitting on stuff, like the Frozen review.

Here's a clip, that I haven't watched, of him talking about a book:
