History YMMV / TheNostalgiaChick

* AllAnimationIsDisney: She has to keep saying during the ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'' review that it wasn't Disney-made. Although she says later in her ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'' review that she can't blame the thought:

** In the performance of "One Day More" that ends her ''Film/{{Les Miserables|2012}}'' video, Javert's part is sung by Creator/JewWario, who would later commit suicide[[note]]and posthumously be revealed as a sexual predator, which might make that whole "pursuit" aspect of Javert's character pretty uncomfortable to imagine[[/note]].

** In the performance of "One Day More" that ends her ''Film/{{Les Miserables|2012}}'' video, Javert's part is sung by Creator/JewWario, who would later commit suicide.

** Lindsay comments in her Loose Canon video about [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch of the West]] that Disney's ''Oz'' productions of TheNewTens take such obvious inspiration from MGM's ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', that "Disney just wants the rights to the 1939 film so bad!" In 2017, ''The Wizard of Oz'' joined the library of the Disney-owned digital movie distribution service Movies Anywhere, via a deal to carry several Warner Bros.-owned films, including works MGM produced before getting bought by Ted Turner in 1986.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' fans don't seem too happy that Lindsay called the show "unremarkable" in her ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Loose Canon video.
** Averted with her extremely negative opinions of ''Theater/{{Rent}}''. While a few Rentheads were sad to hear that she didn't like it, they've accepted her very to-the-point gripes about its [[FirstWorldProblems themes]] and [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic characters]]. Her video essay on how it also [[ThemeParkVersion trivialized]] the extremely serious issues of the AIDS crisis and homelessness (complete with an obligatory disclaimer that no, you're not a bad person for liking ''Rent'') pretty much ensured that nobody was ever going to give her a hard time about it.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Lindsay quit “Nostalgia Chick” in 2015, and describes the newer series, “Loose Canon” (where she looks at different iterations of one character) as a successor to the former.

** The running gag about the Chick being an alcoholic became less funny when it came out that Lindsay [[https://www.reddit.com/r/thespoonyexperiment/comments/79plns/nostalgia_chick_arrested_for_public_intoxication/ was arrested]] [[https://twitter.com/shittheldam/status/925732175600930816 for public intoxication in 2017.]]

* JustHereForGodzilla: In her ''{{Bratz}}'' episode, more people were interested in her dynamic with the Critic than in her actual review.

** Really, the Chick is subject to this far more often than the Critic, since she tends to review films that are usually rather well-liked, such as... Well, ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' and ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'', while the Critic reviews, well... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxHNztg0X3s This]]. She explains this in the ''Worst Witch'' review, as people tend to be more forgiving towards the popular films rather the obscure.
** Many fans of ''Jem'' were very angry at Lindsy for her panning the series, the biggest complaint came from her not even bothering to watch the series entirely before she reviewed it.

** In an also lighter sense and around twitter, being an "obsessive compulsive stickler for pitch" and autotuning the majority of people in the musical numbers. Even though mostly by one or two notes.

** The running gag about the Chick being an alcoholic becomes less funny when Lindsay [[https://www.reddit.com/r/thespoonyexperiment/comments/79plns/nostalgia_chick_arrested_for_public_intoxication/ got arrested]] [[https://twitter.com/shittheldam/status/925732175600930816 for public intoxication in 2017.]]

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Not an example from within the same work, but The RunningGag of her ''Film/HocusPocus'' review centres on the film's hang-ups with virgins, leading her to say "I mean, why do virgins even exist? Why don't they just lose it straight out of the womb...screaming and bleeding?" What would've been a bit of BlackComedy / CrossesTheLineTwice moment becomes awful after the creation of ''Film/ASerbianFilm'', which several of the other TGWTG comntributors have reviewed.

** In the performance of "One Day More" that ends her ''LesMiserables'' video, Javert's part is sung by Creator/JewWario, who would later commit suicide.

* ArcFatigue: To some fans (that being why it's on this page) "The Dark Nella Saga" just kept going and going and going... (Well, it ''is'' a saga.) But the problem was probably less the length of the arc itself - seven episodes, probably edging on three hours, all told - and more how an arc that seemed like it would be played out over a few weeks took two and a half months to release.

** In October of 2011, Elisa creates the vampire-obsessed, PerkyGoth ''Maven of the Eventide''. Then, in September of 2012, Columbia Pictures releases to theatres ''HotelTransylvania'' with a young vampire, PerkyGoth named ''Mavis'', which Maven reviews in a Vlog.

** Despite her love for SoundtrackDissonance, she's also pretty good for choosing song lyrics that go well with the situation. "How can he tell her he loves her [-] he would give his heart gladly" when Critic CannotSpitItOut, "baby come back, you can blame it all on me" when they've both left, Nella (who wants to be left how she is) is shut up by the Makeover Fairy when she tries to sing the start of Mein Herr from ''{{Cabaret}}'' and the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax'' has a self-loathing tribute to alcohol.

** Her series on Michael Bay and Transformers mangles UsefulNotes/TheAuteurTheory based on utterly dated strawman assumptions (which is surprising given how well researched her other videos are, both in the series and out of it). She doesn't quite cite any critics and arguments whose points she disagrees with or wishes to refute, citing instead Pauline Kael's attacks on the theory rather than the works of Molly Haskell, Andrew Sarris among many others. Contrary to the video, the auteurs, especially the French never opposed independent film-makers against the studio. The guy they made the ultimate auteur (and wrote a book about) was a studio based commercial film-maker named Creator/AlfredHitchcock. The idea that the auteur theory has a Marxist concept, as she claims, is also incorrect because the essential individualism of auteurism means that a film-maker's style matters as much, and at times, more than content (which includes obviously his or her political beliefs) and the auteurists were well known for admiring film-makers with a wide range of political beliefs and themes[[note]]They championed both anti-capitalist (such as Orson Welles) and right-wingers like Creator/JohnFord, and Creator/LeoMcCarey, atheists like Creator/LuisBunuel and religious film-makers like Creator/CarlTheodorDreyer, and indeed to them, the true test of any artist's style was to engage audiences of an entirely different political and personal ideology and viewpoint[[/note]]. In addition, she completely misreads Creator/RolandBarthes' DeathOfTheAuthor idea at least in the context she uses. Barthes concept was that the author's intentions ''in a work of literature'' (and not film) is not by any means final since the intents are unlikely to be entirely clear and knowable to the writer. But auteur theory never said that a film had to be understood by the director's intentions merely the style of the director, and Barthes never denied that there was a difference between great writers and bad writers or that writers had distinctive and unique style, which most of his essays and published works (on authors like Creator/HonoreDeBalzac, Baudelaire, Proust among many other serious writers) prove.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic: Chick actually gets pretty in-depth into her viewing of ''AllDogsGoToHeaven'' as a Christian allegory... [[spoiler:only to lead up to, what else, BigLippedAlligatorMoment]]!

** The ''FreddyGotFingered'' review in all its entirety. Aside from the content of the movie itself, we have the Chick, Nella, and [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]] [[GoMadFromTheRevelation being driven to madness by the movie]]. It involves sausage among other things.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Check the comments for many videos Nella appears in and you'll find plenty that lament her getting screen time. Fans of the DisneyRenaissance tend to hate her.

** Her series on Michael Bay and Transformers mangles UsefulNotes/TheAuteurTheory based on utterly dated strawman assumptions (which is surprising given how well researched her other videos are, both in the series and out of it). Firstly, the auteurs, especially the French never opposed independent film-makers against the studio. The guy they made the ultimate auteur (and wrote a book about) was a studio based commercial film-maker named Creator/AlfredHitchcock and the auteurists loved fifties Hollywood and the auteurists insisted that film-makers can make great films regardless of genre and story, based on visual style. Likewise, the idea that the auteur theory has a Marxist idea is incorrect because the essential individualism of auteurism means that a film-maker's style matters as much, and at times, more than content (which includes obviously his or her political beliefs) and the auteurists were well known for admiring film-makers with a wide range of political beliefs and themes, both anti-capitalist (such as Orson Welles) and right-wingers like Creator/JohnFord, and Creator/LeoMcCarey, atheists like Creator/LuisBunuel and religious film-makers like Creator/CarlTheodorDreyer, and indeed to them, the true test of any artist's style was to engage audiences of an entirely different political and personal ideology and viewpoint.
*** More importantly, she highlights themes and common points in Bay's films that are little more than tics or RunningGag and not in any way themes as auteurists understood it. And regardless of one's opinions on Bay and his films, that's a disservice to her general point and approach in her Transformers series (about taking those seriously in the academic sense) and it's a disservice to auteur critics who were never as superficial and one-dimensional as she makes them out to be[[note]]And who moreover singlehandedly restored and helped rediscover countless forgotten films and unheralded film-makers who would likely have been forgotten or neglected had it not been for them[[/note]].

* HollywoodHomely: Nella, especially in the ''Film/{{Grease}}'' review. Many [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Comically Missed the Point]] and treated her like a [[TheWoobie woobie]], not listening to the fact that Nella wrote that sideplot ''herself'' and is perfectly happy with her appearance.

* EvilIsSexy: The Chick's SlasherSmile when she's being evil is both adorable and utterly terrifying.

** Not everyone agrees with her view that ''{{Shrek}}'' was a hate-filled TakeThat at Disney.

** Although she didn't actually REVIEW it, she put a small TakeThat to Disney/LiloAndStitch as "Slapped together garbage" that "didn't have as much passion put into it" as Disney/TheLionKing in her review of The Lion King.
** Lindsay outright said she hated Wreck-It Ralph. She was going to explain why in a "Worst Movies of 2012" review, but she never got around to making it. In her "Worst of 2013" review, she briefly mentioned that she would never do the "Worst of 2012" video while the onscreen text said, "And you will never know why I hate Wreck-It Ralph (STOP GUESSING YOU'RE ALL WRONG)", thereby confirming backlash from WIR fans is the biggest concern for her regarding the "Worst of 2012" list.

* BrokenBase: Usually between those who prefer the style of her newer reviews - i.e. the ones featuring the supporting cast and based more around analysing tropes - and those who liked the linear reviews she originally put out.
