History WebVideo / MovieFights

* NeverGetsDrunk: Alicia Malone is type 1 - who was so much of TheStoic (or just plain has better drink tolerance than her fellow competitor) during the Drunk Movie Fight that many viewers though she didn't get drunk despite clearly being shown to be drinking throughout the show.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Sometimes, one of the more composed regular members of Screen Junkies (like Dan Murrell, Spencer Gilbert and Alicia Malone) would lose their temper / backed into a corner / drunk enough that they began to fight like the more loony, temperate and loud fighters. For example: Dan completely fought in anger in the Last Fighter Standing episode when Scott Mantz suggests that Rocky would be a better movie when Arnold Schwarzenegger replaces Sylvester Stallone or when Alicia, who is usually more serious and good-nature in her fights, start to crack jokes that are mean-spirite by her standard in the second Drunk Movie Fight like mocking Hal's attraction to Zoe Saldana.

* SpecialGuest: The show frequently brings in various internet reviewers that fans have requested, such as Jeremy Jahns, Creator/ChrisStuckmann, and Creator/DougWalker. They're even getting more {{Big Name Fan}}s, such as Creator/MaxLandis, Creator/ElijahWood and Creator/KevinSmith.

* WomenAreWiser: This probably isn't intentional, but the women fighters appeared on the show are usually the one that doesn't lose her temper or usually focus on more classical movies as opposes to the other male fighters on popular media. This is blatant with episodes that have mix gender fights and feature Amy Nicholson, Alicia Malone, Erin Robinson, Miri Jedeikin, Amirose Eisenberg, Kara Warner and Jen Yamato but averts with Trisha Hershberger, [=ComicBookGirl19=], Tiffany Smith, Chloe Dykstra, Roxy Striar, Clarke Wolfe, Maude Garrett (who are just as focus on popular media as the men), [[SoreLoser Alison Haislip]], [[StrawFeminist Kim Horcher]], Sasha Perl-Raver (who have attitudes similar to the male fighter), Drunk!Alicia and Roth Cornet (who have both traits). TropesAreNotBad though, as Alicia and Amy are the most popular female fighters on the show while [[TheScrappy Kim and Allison]] are received poorly by the fans.

* ToughActToFollow: [[invoked]] In the "Who should be the next Wolverine?" fight, one panelist, Brian, answered that there should ''not'' be any Wolverine featured in the future ''Film/XMen'' series because Creator/HughJackman is so iconic for the role that Wolverine should either be him or none at all. Despite it being called "the cheaty answer" by Andy, his argument was considered the best of all, and he won the point.

Conceived as a response to fans' request for the channel to host a longer series, ''Movie Fights'' is a feature-length debate podcast/show which debuted in September 2014. It typically involves three "gladiators" discussing about various movie topics, such as trailers, casting decisions, etc., and having them fight for their opinions about it. The show's host would evaluate their arguments and creativity to pick a winning choice, and the contestant who has the most points by the end of the episode wins the game. A fact checker, introduced in episode 5 ("Does Interstellar Suck?") , would, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as their role implies]], research the details of the arguments to make sure they are factually accurate and that the contestants are not making things up as they go. Due to the firing of the show's host, Andy Signore, after being accused on multiple accounts of sexual misconduct, ''Movie Fights'' has been on hiatus since October 5, 2017.

* RunningGag: Ever since Mark Ellis pitched for a ''ComicBook/SwampThing'' reboot, the character has been mentioned for three episodes in a row. In fact, in the first round of Episode 72, some fans expresses disappointment that no one mentioned ''Swamp Thing''. Jason finally did so in one of the later rounds.

* BrokenStreak: Dan's 8-in-a-row winning streak finally comes to an end in [[spoiler:episode 35]]. He's still the champion, since the round wasn't a Title bout, but he's no longer the ''undefeated'' champion.

** By Episode 49, we seem to have a new pair of archenemies in the form of Scott Mantz and John Rocha, though it ''hasn't'' quite reached the Mundy vs. Barr levels yet. The two had a pretty intense verbal beatdown and trash talking against one another during their runtime together, and Mantz went on to challenge Rocha for a one on one Schmoedown (a movie trivia contest hosted by the ''Schmoes''), which the latter gladly accepted.

* MotorMouth: Coy Jandeau can speak ''extremely'' fast, and this plays to his advantage during Speed Rounds because he's able to present more argument than his opponent.

* DracoInLeatherPants: [[invoked]] When asked "What is the most emotional animated Disney or Pixar death ever?", Max Landis answers with the death of Nuka, a secondary antagonist in ''Lion King 2''. In doing so, he portrays Nuka as good guy who is only [[TheUnfavourite trying, and failing, to win his mother's love]], completely ignoring the fact that he's also a sadistic bully who died while ''trying to kill Simba''. This blatant whitewashing of Nuka's character did not go unnoticed by Dan, who used this fact as his counter-argument against Max's pick.

--> '''Roger:''' [[Creator/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] absolutely dwarfs Creator/TomCruise, and he can't do the stunts himself?\\

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: From Roger to Nick in ''Better Franchise Mission Impossible or Fast & Furious'':
--> '''Roger''': [[Creator/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] absolutely dwarfs Creator/TomCruise, and he can't do the stunts himself?\\
'''Nick''': A-duh-duh-\\
'''Roger''': A-duh-duh, ''exactly''.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In his idea of fixing The Fantastic Four, Kristian thinks they should be [[VillainProtagonist Villain Protagonists]] who never change. He says that Invisible Woman should rob banks, Mr. Fantastic should pickpocket, The Human Torch should be a pyromaniac and The Thing [[TakeThat should play for the NFL.]] Even better, this blatant SpringtimeForHitler idea won him the round.

** Whoever chooses the questions seem to be big fans of the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' and Marvel Movies in general, seeing how questions about one or more Marvel movies appear in the vast majority of episodes.

** Marc Andreyko is apparently attracted to Creator/TomHardy and had cast him in a lot of questions.

* DracoInLeatherPants: [[invoked]] When asked "What is the most emotional animated Disney or Pixar death ever?", Max Landis answers with the death of Nuka, a secondary antagonist in ''Lion King 2''. In doing so, he portrays Nuka as good guy who is only [[TheUnfavourite trying, and failing, to win his mother's love]], completely ignoring the fact that he's also a sadistic bully who died while ''trying to kill Simba''.

* {{Badass}}: Current Movie Fights champion Dan Murrell has the best win record in the Movie Fight history. He went through 8 consecutive fights without suffering a single defeat (10, if you count the team fights against ''[=CinemaSins=]'' and ''Schmoes Know''), and that streak even extended to fan he coached during the Fan Fights episode. [[spoiler: Although he finally lost his first Movie Fight during the "Jurassic World -- Fun or Failure?" debate, he eventually pulled back the belt in the championship bout "Disney World’s Star Wars Land: Dream Ride!?".]]

* DracoInLeatherPants: [[invoked]] When asked "What is the most emotional animated Disney or Pixar death ever?", Max Landis responds with the death of Nuka, a secondary antagonist in ''Lion King 2''. In doing so, he portrays Nuka as an innocent character who only [[TheUnfavourite wants to win his mother's love]], completely ignoring that he's also a sadistic bully who died while ''trying to kill Simba''.
