History YMMV / BadMovieBeatdown

* HateDumb: A vocal fraction of [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] fans reacted with hostility towards Film Brain when he co-reviewed the ''Tekken'' live-action movie, apparently only because of a speech quirk. They even said Spoony should never do a CrossOver with TGWTG people again. Thankfully not all of Spoony's fans are that butthurt.

** Professor Celluloid seems to have few fans, which is probably why he's seen less in later episodes. [[WordOfGod Buck]] has also said the reason the character is rarely seen, is to avoid accusations of being a [[TheSpoonyExperiment Dr Insano]] [[{{Expy}} rip-off]].
* TheWoobie: Borders on this in his ''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' review, when he [[HeroicBSOD breaks down]] upon seeing the infamous "enemy scrotum" scene, having an especially hostile [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] call him out on his original written review of the film, [[RuleOfThree and]] realizing his mistake while Spoony sarcastically speculates on the symbolism of the aforementioned scene.

** Perhaps even worse was the backlash of when he did [[http://thecinemasnob.com/2010/05/18/bad-movie-cinema-snobs-mcbain.aspx this crossover]] with [[WebOriginal/TheCinemaSnob Brad Jones]] - comments range from taking [[MeanCharacterNiceActor Snob's]] scripted insults seriously (and congratulating him on "putting Film Brain in his place") to claiming the Cinema Snob was RuinedForever because of the crossover to complaining about everything from [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous his age]] to [[SeriousBusiness his opinion over movies he'd reviewed]]. It got so bad, in fact, that Brad, who ''very'' rarely replies to comments on his videos, eventually had to step in.

* TheScrappy: Film Brain is this to the ''WebOriginal/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'' community, particularly for his work on his earliest reviews. He acknowledged in a joke when he refers to "all three" of his longtime fans. It was also [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in ''{{Kickassia}}'' and his commentary of it. He's since been RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.

** Spoony and Film Brain actually turned this into a joke at the beginning of Spoony's ''DeadOrAlive'' review, with Film Brain attempting another cross-over only to have his house invaded by outraged Spoony fans (illustrated as an angry mob with torches and pitchforks). It did a great job in highlighting how stupid the fans can actually be.

** Not to mention that as of this writing he's literally grown a beard.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Knowing full and well the potential (and actually quite real) backlash reviewing ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean 3'' could cause, Film Brain had Welshy do a counterpoint to the review to display some of the legitimate arguments that could be made against his, while still giving his honest opinion on the subject.

[[TraumaCongaLine Wow]].

* EightPointEight: He got a bigger backlash than ''{{Equilibrium}}'' for giving ''[[Film/{{Transformers}} Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' a better written review than ''InglouriousBasterds''. He eventually changes his opinion on it, stating he has no hope for ''Dark of the Moon.''

* FanHater: He got a bigger backlash than ''{{Equilibrium}}'' for giving ''[[Film/{{Transformers}} Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' a better written review than ''InglouriousBasterds''.

* DesignatedHero: The robbers of the eponymous Money Train show no real heroic traits to Film Brain.
* DesignatedVillain: Film Brain points this out in ''Meteor,'' where the general is a bad, bad man for not trusting the Russians... during the ColdWar.
** He also points out Patterson in ''Money Train'' would be a hero in any other action film.
** He further points out that Anheuser is made out to the bad guy in ''2012'' because refuses to open the doors of the Arks for the stranded people because he knows its far too dangerous to do so.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: States several about some of the characters in the films he reviews.
** Film Brain thinks God from ''EvanAlmighty'' [[GodIsEvil is evil]] and WillSmith from ''SevenPounds'' is a [[HeroicSociopath sociopath]].
** He also thinks Mary from ''AllAboutSteve'' is [[PsychopathicManchild mentally insane]].
* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Several lampshadings. Some of the messages he's pointed out include...
** "[[AllMenArePerverts Men are incapable of thinking of anything but sex]] [[BeAWhoreToGetYourMan and women should just accept that]]." (''TheUglyTruth'')
** "Due process is for pussies." (''{{Cobra}}'')
** "Christmas is all about the material trappings, and [[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong not conforming to this is selfish.]]" (''ChristmasWithTheKranks'')
** "Beating people to a bloody pulp makes them gain wisdom." (''OnDeadlyGround'')
** "Suicide is a noble act if you donate your organs." (''SevenPounds''.) Film Brain was ''not'' happy about this one. Also strikes a chord when he did that review as he lost someone to suicide, and ''genuinely hated'' the movie unlike most others he reviews.
** "It's okay to go around killing people you don't like, as long as they're [[AssholeVictim jerks.]] (''PartingShots'') "I think I found a film even more morally reprehensible than ''Seven Pounds''."
** "Murder is empowering for women, and if you have an abusive spouse you should kill them." (''While She Was Out'')

* MisBlamed: Film Brain and Lordhebe said that the first review with Professor Celluloid was filmed the week ''before'' Spoony unveiled Dr Insano, but not released until the week after, making this inevitable. Coincidentally, they also filmed the review for ''Transmorphers'' the same week Spoony reviewed its sequel on a whim.
