Callum Nathan Thomas Edmunds / MauLer93 / MauLer and the EFAPshere - Objective discussion about not-Channel Awesome featuring Rags, Southpaw and more!

[Heavy Rainfall2]

I found Mauler's videos and EFAP recently, mostly just listened to the clip channel while playing vidya or working. I was kinda shocked to learn how they handle superchats. That has got to be the most Jewish way of doing superchats I've ever seen aside from just not reading them, god damn. I can't decide if EFAP is retarded for discouraging superchats because they're gonna take weeks to read them, or if the audience who STILL donates anyway is more retarded.

I was kinda shocked to learn how they handle superchats.

They used to handle them normally back when they started, but the core of their show they spent hours on and they had to rush through less relevant superchats at the end so some got relegated to the next episode, they also kept missed ones intended for guests until the guest came back to a later episode. And eventually to their own subepisode.
They kinda did it to themselves with not being able to contain their ranting. Their earlier episodes were easily 8-10 hours, and when they started scaling back and having 5-6 hour long episodes tons of people were complaining they were short. As for superchats, they just never really adapted a podcast format into a stream with live donations.

This one sentence says so much.

At this point I think Patrician TV has just replaced Mauler's niche.

Nah, that guy does gaming videos.
MauLer's replacement is Little Platoon.
He makes the same kind of overly edited 3 hour videos about big budget Hollywood slop and has the same kind of monotone voice with a British accent.
MauLer showed some brains by recruiting him for EFAP and attaching himself to his replacement.

I was shocked that this thing is still around and they still rake in decent enough donos on their streams and views on their clip channel. Anyone have a theory of the case for why there's still a big market for "New big capeshit/franchiseslop is bad" content? Really blows my mind how formulaic their stuff is. I thought the new Superman movie was good, not great, and like clockwork I get some EFAP clip in my reccomended tab with some insanley hyperbolic title like "Superman was worse than bad, it's REALLY bad"

Who are the people that gobble this shit up? Do they consume any media other than fat faggots like Mauler and his league of discord degenerates saying they didn't like a movie because of some nebulously defined "objective reason"?

I think it's to capitalize on the bad (Disney Star Wars/ post-Endgame MCU). While it is low hanging fruit and easy to rip on it that's all they got. Even if it's decent, they still have to say it's the worst thing (Mandalorian, Fallout TV show, Deadpool and Wolverine). If anything, it's for people who believe themselves above the fray, not easily swayed because pleasing the crowd is apparently "key jangling".

I'd take watching a bad, even mediocore movie over watching a minute of these absolute morons who's understanding of storytelling is completely underpinned by reddit-tier plothole hunting. Like seriously not every story ever is going to be 100% airtight and consistent, J.R.R. Tolkien famously would seethe when people asked him why they didn't just take the eagles to Mt. Doom in book one. Because yah, obviously writers fuck
up and include inconsistencies in their stories sometimes, that doesn't automatically disqualify them. I had my problems with Superman, but I'm sure their criticisms are as inane as that because it's not really woke enough for them to rag on it for that.

Which is why RLM is still going strong and EFAP can only rely on a shrinking audience of sycophants.

Probably because the Nazgul could just knock them out of the air or it would immediately alert Sauron. The biggest weakness with their obsession with plotholes is not their obsession with them, but the idea that they and their impact on the audience's suspension of disbelief is something that can be objectively quantified. Of course, they're also dealing with some of the lowest common denominator slop and it does tend to be riddled with glaring plotholes that defy easy explanation (vanishing lightsabers mid-fight in TLJ for example), but the moment they go outside of that wheelhouse problem of trying to analyze everything like that becomes self-evident.

Yah exactly, they treat plotholes like this silver bullet that immediately unravels a narrative and makes it "objectively" shit. I'm imagining them doing an EFAP on The Odyssey "Pfft, and then Odysseus, who's supposed to be making *Groan* 'The Odyssey' back to his wife and kid, who are fending off these guys trying to fuck her, spends 7 years hanging out on an island with this insufferable girlboss mary sue character Calypso"

It's only a matter of time before they talk about Fantastic Four this weekend.
