History YMMV / ChrisStuckmann

** His video on the critically maligned ''Film/MadameWeb'' proved to be one of his most divisive videos yet. 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.

** Him going public about being an ex-Jehovah's Witness in early 2021, and the adverse effects the religion had on his psychology and identity, put a lot of serious previous statements and ordeals in his career in more proper context.

*** His first since-deleted [=YouTube=] channel, dedicated exclusively to his ''Quick Movie Reviews'' series, has been almost completely wiped from the Internet save for a handful of reviews re-uploaded by Chris himself at fans' demand and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xux9Pn0FPI&ab_channel=StuckmannsLastVideo the very last video he made on it]]. He is completely dejected throughout, and outright states that he can't go into full detail about why he's leaving, his most explicit reasoning being that the continuation of his video-making may create problems for the people he cares about. A full 11 years later, Chris confirmed that it was because his JW elders greatly disapproved of the fact that he was reviewing movies they deemed inappropriate, and told him that he would be disfellowshipped -- thereby losing the community around him and some of his lifelong friends -- if he continued. One comment on the re-upload described the video as being "like someone was pointing a gun to [his] head forcing [him] to delete [his] channel", and it can hurt to watch knowing that, more or less, that was exactly the case.

*** The picture of him next to a group of black friends that went viral after appearing in his ''Film/GetOut2017'' review due to how random its inclusion was can grow sour in light of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYVJ_YMy7Zc&list=WL&index=4&ab_channel=DoubleToasted an interview]] where Chris officially explained the context behind the image. At the time of it being taken, Chris and his friends were Jehovah's Witnesses, and his experience with the religion was so stifling and oppressive that he eventually left, which led to him being shunned from the community. While some of the friends in the picture are still in the faith, others have since left and received similar ousting as Chris, so upon seeing the picture, he doesn't find any humor in it and only sees it as "kinda fucking painful".

*** In light of Creator/RobinWilliams' death, he made a video speaking about what Williams meant to him and goes into aspects of his personal life to properly communicate that feeling. In the video, 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) 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.

*** A number of things resurfaced from the video in which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AijH79JXS1k&ab_channel=ChrisStuckmann Chris shares one of his first feature films]], ''The Woods'':
*** Chris notes that it 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.

** 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 has also become more plausible after Kevin Spacey's sexual harassment accusations came out in October 2017.

** In his ''Temple of Doom'' review, he spends a surprising amount of time commenting on Harrison Ford's body and briefly getting defensive over it, as he would come out as pansexual the next year.

*** His controversial response to WebVideo/RedLetterMedia joking about him and calling him a "prick", which many saw as a needless and sensitive 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]].

* 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, prior to this movie's release, he got to interview director Creator/ColinTrevorrow beforehand, 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.

** [[https://img.4plebs.org/boards/tv/image/1487/86/1487860013407.png This picture of him alongside a group of black friends]] in his ''Film/GetOut2017'' review, to punctuate the point that he essentially "grew up with" black people in a mixed community, was immediately ripped apart online, for a variety of reasons ranging from how unprompted its inclusion in the review was to Chris' position off to the side making him look like a photobomber.
** As the reviews went on, many viewers started to point out that Chris apparently "grew up on everything". This has led to various parody accounts that would spam movie-related Youtube videos with comments about how they didn't "grow up on" whatever the movie or its source material is and giving it a preemptive F-.

** His response to the criticism of his rewrite of a scene in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''. Many think he handled it very immaturely while others think his detractors took it too far.
** His ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' review is considered by some to be well thought-out and accurate, whilst others feel that it was 14 minutes of him complaining with a bias towards the earlier films.
** 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 excessive gushing of the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]], ''Film/{{Tomorrowland}}'' and ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' as examples.
** The amount of times Chris claims he grew up liking a franchise: Does he say it too often for it to be believable, or is it just a result of most of the current batch of remakes coming from things that Chris reasonably would have enjoyed as a child?

*** Chris' father is featured in a small role in the film playing a sheriff. 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.

* ShockingMoments: After giving ''Film/LadyBird'' an A+ in November 2017, no other film would reach that rating for almost two years -- until a particularly top-quality streak of 2019 films would allow him to issue not one, not two, not three, but ''[[ARareSentence four]]'' A+ ratings in '''''under two months''''' (''Film/TheLighthouse'', ''Film/Parasite2019'', ''Film/MarriageStory'', ''Film/PortraitOfALadyOnFire'').

*** Chris' subsequent response to the meme's popularity -- not only was he aware of it, he was ''so'' aware that he began using it intentionally [[TrollingCreator just to "fuck with" his audience]] -- became something of a minor meme due to people seeing his attitude as self-righteous and finding it amusing.

A full 11 years later, Chris went on official record stating that it was because the elders of his Jehovah's Witness faith greatly disapproved of the fact that he was reviewing R-rated movies, and told him that he would be disownershipped -- thereby losing the community around him and some of his lifelong friends -- if he continued.
