** Not that he didn't like ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' or the sequel, but that years later he will hate on those movies whenever he has the chance, specifically on Creator/AndrewGarfield's portrayal of the character. Even in his ''Film/{{Logan}}'' review he took time to bash ASM as the inferior to Creator/TobeyMaguire.
** Well anticipated in his SoOkayItsAverage review of ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', which ends with a timid "Don't shoot the messenger." The issue here is that one can't help to shake the feeling that it's at least in part due to his admiration to the first two Sam Raimi films, since he's gone out of his way to say he actively tries to judge the new Spidey out of their shadow, but a significant amount of people put into question his ability to do so. Ironically, Bob leveraged this in his review of ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', saying that given his status as the guy who didn't care for the movie's predecessor, the fact that he gave it a positive review and a healthy recommendation was all the more notable.

* AudienceAlienatingEra: Bob's tenure at geek.com, a now defunct media aggregator that was attempting in 2016 a big overhaul. Not only the site itself hinged on the fact [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong they had Bob do all the heavy lifting to keep them alive]], but he in turn had to do a ''lot'' of blatant corporate, target audience and demographic pandering for the sponsors. His [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels attempts at Chinese]] were particularly cringe-worthy. Not helping matters were Bob's attempts at online activism during that era, which ranged from "just" bizarre to outright hostile (and still bizarre). All of this quite significantly affected the perception of both his material and Bob himself.

** This quote from [[https://gameoverthinker.blogspot.com/2008/04/episode-five-patriot-games.html a post from his old blog promoting the fifth episode of The Game Overthinker about Patriot Games]], considering how infamously political Bob would get later in his carrer:
-->...but I've been hesitant to jump into politics too early. This is meant to be about the culture surrounding a hobby, not a political machine, and if you get into politics before establishing a broader identity you risk getting pigeonholed as "a liberal commentator" or "right-wing game rant guy" which can turn off a lot of people unnecessarily.
