So we're half way through the two year anniversary special, "Kickassia" and it is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

What should have happened was a Screwattack brawl. Fucking everybody was thinking it. What with the drama between Scott and Craig and pretty much everybody from Blistering Thumbs being leftovers from Screwattack.

What made the first anniversary work was that it was one giant fan service. It was another battle between the nerd and the critic that ingeniously evolved into all the critics fighting all of the gamers. Everyone was thinking it but nobody did it.

NOBODY also wanted to see Doug Walker take over his own country. You guys are electronic media pundits, not politic pundits. That sort of thing would have been ingenious for the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, or even South Park. But the Nostalgia Critic? Please.

Characters? What fucking characters? 98% of the people on TGWTG are playing themselves. The only people that could be considered characters are The Bum, Ask That Guy and Dominick. I'm not counting Spoony's Dr. Insnano/Mr. Hyde angle that they're trying to work because it's unnecessary and dumb.

I also have to say this: when Doug was calling the people that ultimately couldn't show up and they got to Little Miss Gamer and she said she was trapped in a video game, I was like "Fuck Kickassia, show me that!"

Furthermore, I'm not expecting a masterpiece of a film, I'm expecting something that doesn't suck.

The only thing I flat out hated was the Sarah Palin gimmick. I'm not a fan of her by any means, but it's been overdone, it's old and there's a ton of other people who've done it vastly better.

I can't explain why, but I actually liked Lindsay's take on Palin. It was one of the very few redeeming things so far in this bloated piece of crap. I completely agree that making fun of her is played out and anybody who does it anyway just because they're "thinking for themselves" should be shot in the head, but for some reason I found Lindsay's take refreshing.

Episode 5 would have been the best one by far if it weren't for 50 minutes of Santa Christ lameness.

I was about to declare this thing dead in the water when an unexpected cameo kinda saved it.

Just saw Part 6 and man did it feel rushed. Granted I enjoyed the whole thing for what it was but basically this could've been 5 parts.

You're goddamn right it felt rushed. The entire time NC was getting his ass kicked the first time I thought "press the detonator you dumb bastard!" Then Film Brain just "disconnects" them off screen? Eat my balls, assmunch.

Holy crap, what a bloated, pointless turd. I almost want TGWTG to come to a crashing halt because of that piece of shit.

Somebody wrote an blurb about it on ED.

Don't get me started on how awful the Dr. Insano angle was. That had all this buildup just for him to get his ass kicked in a fight? Fuck that, I want some "This country deserves a better class of criminal, and I'm gonna give it to em" shit. That would have been the perfect way for them to flesh out that angle.

Insano didn't get his ass kicked! He lost yeah, but that's to be expected--a large, endearing part of the character is that he's so brilliant, and has all of these great ideas, yet always ultimately fails. He is a super villain, after all; that's what they DO.

Yes but the payoff of unleashing an inner villain should be that they lose control of him and now have to fight him. It would be a brilliant cautionary tale.
