The Review Must Go On

WARNING: SPOILERS

Read at your own risk.

I am a fan of Nostalgia Critic and firmly believes To Boldly Flee was the perfect swan song for Critic.

The Review Must Go On, while good in its own right, has one singular problem.

Why make Demo Reel a purgatory for Critic? We have a chance to see another one of Doug Walker's well-developed characters in a form of Donnie DuPre. We have five episodes going and learned why every film in Demo Reel is intentionally bad. The anniversary specials are not bad, in fact they kept escalating in sweetness and awesomeness (critical-acclaim).

Donnie could have been a good character alongside with Chester A. Bum, Ma-Ti, everyone on the show.

I won't blame on anyone for this because Doug's turmoil is a real event. I'm a mature adult. Which I admit may be caused by the aggressive fans.

Nostalgia Critic learned his lesson already and to make the purgatory is cruel to Critic. Becoming and being the good god was something NC deserves for all he did in Suburban Knights and Kickassia. Donnie was established as his own character when we saw that he can act (Wreck-It Ralph vs. Angry Birds) and why Demo Reel was trying too hard to act.

While admittedly Demo Reel wasn't terrible (mixed reaction), the story is building. It's so...

Critic is dead to me by To Boldly Flee. He matures and learns his lesson. He shouldn't have been brought back. For the record, the Walkers know this because they have to bring NC back somehow.

Admittedly, I awaits his review on The Odd Life of Timothy Green. This unintentionally creepy movie should be ripped to shreds.

I mean, come on!

Growing a child when there is an orphanage right there! I'm not going to rant, I'm not going to rant, I'm not going to rant *repeats mantra*



On a side note, Tales of Graces is a lighter and softer Code Geass told in the point of view of an Idiot Hero...Gosh, should we be lucky that Asbel didn't go through too many tragedies for it to be a deconstruction? Lloyd is a deconstruction. I mean it, it's CG only told in Tales form! I was watching the walkthrough out of boredom and I seen CG on and off lately. I even tally mark how many unwittingly CG references.

Resemblance aside, there are some plot points that reminds too much of CG. Such plot points such as Lambda and Emeraude reminds me of C.C. and Mao, Cedric - Charles!, Sophie - C.C. (immortal obsessed over trademark favorite food), Hubert - Rolo!, and let's not get into the dynamic of Richard/Lelouch and Asbel/Suzaku. These are some points, but there are many.

Its Fan Nickname Tales of Code Geass for good reason.

I'm not a Cheria X Asbel shipper nor am I a Shirley/Kallen X Lelouch shipper. Then again, Shirley is a good match for Lelouch but it's too short even though it definitely develop over time but I never really fall in love with the couple. Word of God had already said that the C.C./Lelouch pairing is like a surrogate son and mother relationship...which doesn't help since the show tends to have a lot of relationship writing fumble. For god's sake, I prefer Kallen X Gino over Kallen X Lelouch.

I am still waiting for a crossover or a CG-inspired fic. *deflates* I ended up ranting, did I?
