History YMMV / SomeCallMeJohnny

** [[Characters/MetroidRidley Ridley]] is the sadistic leader of the [[Characters/MetroidSpacePirates Space Pirates]], and ArchEnemy of [[Characters/MetroidSamusAran Samus Aran]]. Planning to use the Metroids as a way to control the galaxy, he has his men gun down the scientists of a research station to steal the baby Metroid, using one of his own men to test its power. Invading Samus's home planet to obtain Mother Brain, Ridley proceeds to wipe out everybody in the colony, including Samus's parents, even kidnapping her to force her to watch as he destroys everything. Under Mother Brain's orders, Ridley leads the extinction of the Chozo race, and kills several [[Characters/MetroidGalacticFederation Galactic Federation]] troops--one of whom being Samus's friend Ellen--to steal the Metroids they were guarding to build a Metroid army.
** [[Characters/MetroidMotherBrain Mother Brain]] is a biomechanical supercomputer created by Virginia and Rodney Aran as a way to spread Chozo knowledge throughout the galaxy. [[AIIsACrapshoot Realizing her true potential]] after encountering Ridley and discovering her ability to control [[Characters/MetroidTheMetroids the Metroids]], Mother Brain set out to amass an army of Metroids to attack the galaxy and bring about a new era of glory for the Space Pirates. Establishing her base on the planet Zebes after sending Ridley and Kraid out to [[FinalSolution extinguish the last of the Chozo]], Mother Brain would turn the entire planet into a hellish landscape drained of all life. When defeated by Samus, Mother Brain activates the base's self-destruction to [[TakingYouWithMe take Samus with her to the grave]], uncaring if her own Space Pirates are caught in the blast.

** His review of the "VideoGame/SonicAdvanceTrilogy" had cameo appearances from WebVideo/TheCompletionist and LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}}, which are particularly hard to watch given the controversies surrounding both of them that came out during late 2023 and early 2024 respectively.

** His VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes review, mainly for giving it a lower score than VideoGame/MetroidOtherM.

* AcceptableTargets: Speedrunners. While Johnny is an avid watcher for AGDQ and other speed-running charities, the trio can't help but make jokes about how they go through very oddball movements, quirks and leaps just to save four seconds of their lives.

* EndingFatigue: The sheer length of the ''Franchise/MetalGear'' marathon has irritated fans. This was inevitable considering the franchise's infamously long story sequences and the fact that Johnny decided to review nearly every game in the series, but to put things in perspective, the first video of the marathon was posted on the 16th of November 2015. The last video was posted on the 6th of April 2016. The Metal Gear marathon lasted nearly ''5 months''. Not helping was the fact that the Metal Gear series was voted by fans to be reviewed before the ''{{VideoGame/Mother}}'' and ''VideoGame/StarFox'' franchises, meaning those who wanted to see Johnny review those games first were left waiting for close to half a year.

** To a lesser extent, some consider his ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' review this after he considered the game to have aged badly and only enjoyed a portion of it. AntDude even lampshades this in Johnny's review of the ''VideoGame/SonicAdvance'' trilogy.

** He received this for his negative review of VideoGame/HotlineMiami and it's [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber sequel]]. Lampshaded in WebVideo/BrainScratchCommentaries commentary of VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime.

** In terms of his Twitch streams, some (or to a few, all) of Johnny's friends have been getting on a few fan's nerves. In older videos, Johnny would usually appear by himself or with one other co-commentator to stream games. But as time went on, [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters more and more of his friends started appearing much more regularly]] to the point where it's not too uncommon to watch a stream with ''5 or 6 people talking all over each at once.'' While some viewers are alright with it due to Johnny just having a good time with his friends and certain moments are made funnier due to there being a crowd, other viewers complain how everyone's noises drowns Johnny out and often try ''too'' hard to be funny. A fairly notorious case was in the 2020 ''Sonic Hacking Contest'', where one person [[SensoryAbuse kept spamming obnoxiously loud sound effects]] to which even ''Johnny himself'' gets annoyed by it and asked ''multiple times'' to cut it out.
