This is one of the worst video essays I have seen. I'm am so tired of all these midwit millennials posting 2 hour long videos about bullshit. Nothing they say is worth that amount of time, also I wont listen to a neckbeard canadian.

I do like how every 5 or so years someone makes a Rise and Fall of Spoony documentary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XskOpeAwbUU

it really is a fascinating case study, from 2009 to 2011 Spoony was THE best internet reviewer and then he just dissapeared from depression and alcoholism. Then in 2013 Red Letter Media filled the hole left by the spoony one.

during highschool me and my friends got a lot of our takes from spoony, we are all in our 30s now and Spoony will still come up in conversation maybe once every 2 years

"Hey, what ever happened to that Spoony guy".

This is coming from functioning adults like one friend is a lawyer, another is a career serviceman another is a loan consultant.

he just did a video reading into the plot of COD: ghosts and how it's about America rationalizing being the good guys or some equally incomprehensible dribble.

i really love how that aside goes nowhere too, he just gives a brief history of the medal of honor and then derails again to talk about the only woman who's received it only so he can get back to the point of the video.

It's like something you would do to parody these types of videos. the only thing it was missing was the word fascism

As if a millennial from the first western country that will collapse has any right to tell me anything. I feel nothing but disgust for white canadians, they are the epitome of self hating liberal globalist whites. Absolutely disgusting.

And they always have a way of talking down to everyone else as if they know better than us.

Modern Warfare is the only one that worked.

MW2: No dedicated servers, over-reliance on Kill-streaks, Campaign went from military action to pure action shlock.
Black Ops: Bad maps, weapon-balance ruined, SMG Run&Gun is the only viable playstyle, Campaign is overall pretty bland and lacks the highlights of the predecessors.
Black Ops 2: Same as BL1 but worse.

It was bad not because of his lack of knowledge regarding video games but because of his seeming lack of knowledge regarding commonplace imagery
he implied that certain imagery he talked about was due to muh racism or muh colonialism (e.g. skin removal and crystals, and the numerous nature of fed rods systems) when they clearly had different roots
the skin removal and inanimate objects bursting from within being very generic dehumanisation imagery and the idea of "mass of worse weapons" being american exceptialist cold war imagery of smaller in number but superior in quality american troops vs the subhuman commie masses
the reason why he missed these is probably because of his heavy focus on the idea of storytelling itself and modern deconstructionism blinding him to basic art concepts because he isn't looking at the imagery presented as a whole and what is being conveyed by it, but rather trying to derive ulterior motives and meanings from only parts of it (i.e. deconstructionism) which is why he focused on the "white" and "black" in the skin-crystals part
he also less severely misinterpreted a handful of generic military/heroic imagery
I have no idea what his educational background is, but if it was in art or even film, I would personally ask for a refund
