** His video on the critically maligned ''Film/MadameWeb2024'' proved to be one of his most divisive videos yet. After eliminating almost all negative discussion of film (including "Hilariocity" videos) from his channel, and not reviewing movies he doesn't want to support to focus only on films he enjoyed and recommends, it came as a surprise when his video on the movie was not a criticism of it but more of ExecutiveMeddling, with him bringing up the news of rewrites and forced subplots as to why he wants to avoid critiquing a movie because of how hard it is to write and direct a movie. A lot of fans were torn on the video, with some appraising him for being level-headed and giving the movie a chance in a landscape full of negative reviews, while others said that he was too soft on it and should be allowed to criticize a movie if it's poorly made and written; the video also exposed a flaw in Stuckmann's approach to covering cinema, as by choosing not to review it but only talk about it, he still made extremely clear that he thought the film was poorly made, defeating the purpose of the no-negative-reviews rule. This escalated and many people who [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch never saw his video]] (or only small isolated clips of it) have branded Stuckmann a "shill" for ''Madame Web'' and Creator/SonyPictures who desperately wants to get in with the company via a good review, even though he didn't praise the movie or Sony in the video (which isn't even a review), and several [=YouTubers=] who make the ame negative content that Stuckmann has been trying to avoid have now started making videos that decry Stuckmann for his ''Madame Web'' video not being more like their review videos. A lot of fans felt that it would have been better if Stuckmann had simply not made a video on it at all instead of opening this can of worms.
* FanMyopia: Despite the overwhelmingly negative reception ''Film/TheBookOfHenry'' gained, Chris was one of the few to give a positive review to the movie. While giving reviews contrary to common consensus regarding a movie isn't new for Chris, he got to interview director Creator/ColinTrevorrow prior to this movie's release, where they discussed this film in particular. Whether or not this influenced Chris giving the movie a more positive review compared to other critics caused a bit of debate among the comment sections of Chris' video, ''WebVideo/FoldingIdeas''[='=] videos, and ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings''' video.
* FridgeBrilliance: In his ''Film/AlexCross'' review, he describes the character in the same vein as Franchise/SherlockHolmes, and Chris imitates Alex and says [[AGodAmI that he is practically God]]. Chris then states that Alex is not God... Creator/MorganFreeman is. This goes two ways: Freeman had actually played Alex Cross in ''two'' movies released in 1997 and 2001 (Creator/TylerPerry played the character in 2012), and at one point Freeman [[Film/BruceAlmighty actually was God, technically]].

*** In light of Creator/RobinWilliams' death, he made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nzk6N6Qo4Y a video]] speaking about what Williams meant to him, which included him going into aspects of his personal life to properly communicate that feeling. He stated that he was the single most regularly bullied kid at his school growing up, and explained that ''Film/GoodWillHunting'' (specifically the "it's not your fault" scene and Williams' performance in it) had a particularly deep effect on him from the combination of a lifelong guilt complex and him first seeing the film during a period of extreme confusion about his purpose. He says the film inspired him to move on from "certain things that were weighing [him] down" in life. While the video was already emotional, it's an even harder watch knowing that the hardships he talks about are likely effects of his time in the religion.
*** His controversial response to WebVideo/RedLetterMedia joking about him and calling him a "prick", which many saw as a needless overreaction, was reevaluated in light of Chris explaining how his adherence to JW practices as a kid greatly fueled his social difficulties growing up, such that he had to "unlearn" and "relearn" how to act normally. Considering he was in an environment which suppressed his normal social functions for years on end, many found it more understandable and sympathetic how he reacted to his then-favorite channel [[TraumaButton talking about him like that]], [[InnocentlyInsensitive even in jest]].

*** Chris notes that ''The Woods'' was actually the second feature film he made, as his first starred a friend who later made it clear to him that he didn't ever want his face shown on video. In light of knowing he was a part of the faith during the time, it makes sense that those around him wouldn't want their identities publicly associated with a piece of media like his film, considering the extreme consequences at hand.
*** Chris' father has a small role as a sheriff in the film. While it's awkward but endearing on the surface, in the sense that it seems like a fond memory of a parent supporting his kid's dream, one of the points he makes at the start of his JW video is that as he will likely be disfellowshipped for speaking out against the religion, his father will have to decide whether to speak with him again, and "knowing him", he will not.
*** His review of ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' mentions that he first watched the movie when home alone, as his parents forbade from watching it under the pretense that it was "the bad one", which he felt was exciting. This takes on a darker turn knowing his elders forbade him from watching certain films and casts his fear of being caught watching it in a grimmer light.
** In his review of ''Film/NineLives2016'', he rhetorically asks, "I have no clue why Creator/KevinSpacey took this movie; isn't ''Series/{{House of Cards|US}}'' doing really well for him?" In 2017, about a year after the review, Spacey was fired from the show after his sexual harassment accusations came out. This gets even more so with his remark in his "Worst Movies of 2016" video about the actors starring in ''Nine Lives'' possibly being {{blackmail}}ed into appearing in the film, which has also become more plausible after Kevin Spacey's sexual harassment accusations came out in October 2017.

** On Reddit, there's a debate between whether or not Chris' [[{{Fanboy}} "fanboyism"]] gets in the way of him being able to review some movies more objectively than others, with many citing his gushing towards the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]], ''Film/{{Tomorrowland}}'' and ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' as examples.

After eliminating his letter reviews, scaling back on Hilariocity videos, and not reviewing movies he doesn't want to support, it came as a surprise when his video on the movie was not a criticism of it but more so a criticism of creative interference from studios and producers, with him bringing up the news of rewrites and forced subplots as to why he wants to avoid critiquing a movie because of how hard it is to write and direct a movie. A lot of fans were torn on the video, with some appraising him for being level-headed and giving the movie a chance in a landscape full of negative reviews, while others said that he was too soft and should be allowed to criticize a movie if it's poorly made and written. This escalated and many people who [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch haven't seen his video]] (or only small isolated clips of it) have branded Stuckmann a "shill" for ''Madame Web'' and Sony because he who desperately wants to get in with the company via a good even, review, even though he didn't praise the movie or Sony in the video (which isn't even a review), and several [=YouTubers=] who make the very same negative content that Stuckmann has been trying to avoid have now started making videos that decry Stuckmann for his ''Madame Web'' video not being more like their review videos.
