** In his ''Film/JusticeLeague'' review, E-Rod makes several mistakes noticeable to anyone who has seen the film. First, he claims the scene with the reactionary terrorists takes place in Keystone when it is actually in London ([[EiffelTowerEffect the establishing shot of the Tower Bridge]] makes that fact hard to miss). He also says the Third Mother Box is located on the Kryptonian Ship where Doomsday was created when it was actually in STAR Labs (which is why the BigBad was kidnapping their scientist in an earlier scene he questioned). Cyborg got it earlier and they were only entering to revive Superman. He also makes it out that the LetsYouAndHimFight scene that happens after Superman is revived was due the League attacking him unprovoked, when one of the first things Superman does after coming BackFromTheDead is attack Batman. (Only Cyborg's attack was unprovoked and that was given a HandWave as well.) E-Rod also complained about Superman taking so long to show up at the final battle when we see he's still recovering from his ResurrectionSickness and does show up surprisingly fast when he gets over it. He also complains about Superman saving the day all by himself, ignoring the contributions of the other team-members including Batman killing most of the Parademons, Aquaman saving Batman (Bruce was expecting to die if his plan succeeded), and holding off The BigBad alongside Wonder Woman, and Cyborg separating the Mother Boxes (he does bring this up but words it in a way that made it seen Superman did most of the work when it was really the other way around), while also ignoring a big plot point that the BigBad was waiting for Superman to die before starting his AlienInvasion, so of course Superman's fight with Steppenwolf would be one-sided (and even then, Superman doesn't land the finishing blow - Wonder Woman does).

* InternetBackdraft: His review of ''Film/{{Warcraft}}'' has been poorly received (generally from fans) due misinformation and his general lack of understanding of the basic elements of the setting, his biased and dismissive attitude of the story and characters and leaving out many of the plot points of the film that explained much of what's going on.

** His review of ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' was very positive in itself, but the fact he panned ComicBook/AntMan for being useless to the team didn't go well with Ant-Man's fans. His ''Film/AntMan'' movie review both improved and made things worse, as while he admitted to love the movie despite his dislike of the comic book character, he also delivered the usual argument of [[NeverLiveItDown Hank Pym being a wife beater]], which is not only a FandomBerserkButton, but also a case of CriticalResearchFailure.

** His review of ''Film/{{Dune}}'' has a lot of examples of this trope (likely for not having read the books). His most glaring example is him stating that the Spice Melange has no real relevance to the film and isn't really important, when in fact it is the most important part of the films universe for being vital to the Empire's economy, allowing interstellar travel, prolonging life, can give people physic and mental powers and what allows the protagonist, Paul Atreides, to become the Kwisatz Haderach.
*** More to the point, while he mentions how exposition heavy the film is (including the inner-monologues), apparently he didn't pay it much attention to it as much of his review is crticizing things he didn't understand, but was actually in all that exposition.

** His review of ''Film/WarCraft2016'' makes it clear that he has barely done any research on the franchise. Firstly, he thinks that the movie is based on World of Warcraft, even though the film based on the first game which is an RTS and not an MMORPG. He is also under the belief that Warcraft has no definitive protagonist or storylines, which is untrue. He states that Durotan is the main leader of the Orc Horde and paints him as a villain who leads the humans into a trap under the pretense of peace between their species, neglecting the fact the Horde consists of different clans, and Durotan is just a chief of a single clan (the Frost Wolves) and that he genuinely wanted an alliance with the humans to stop Gul'Dan from corrupting Azeroth, and that the two parties were ambushed by Orcs under the command of Blackhand and Gul'Dan. In fact he leaves many of the films details out of the review (most notably he mainly focused on the human side of the movie, and thus leaving out the orc's story arch). The biggest offender is that he claims that the film is ripping off The Avengers due to Warcraft also having an evil sorcerer opening a portal from another world so that an army can enter and invade Azeroth, despite the fact that this is the main plot of the first game which the film is based on! Which came out in 1994.
** During his review of the first season of ''Series/JessicaJones'', he compares Jessica snapping the neck of Killgrave to the scene of Clark doing it to Zod in ''Film/ManOfSteel'' ending, praising the former with how it's done and ending with the statement heroes always have choices. But as most commenters pointed out, it was an unfair comparison because Jessica knew Killgrave years prior and knew how he worked and thought. So it gave her time to formulate the numerous plans she tried before ultimately killing him when out of options. Plus that Killgrave wasn't a fighter, it was his powers that made him dangerous and he only lasted so long because of his wit and various circumstances and Jessica only won because he let his guard down for a second. Clark on the other hand had just met Zod who was a war general and thus a natural fighter and was quickly adapting to the powers Earth's sun as giving him. Plus it was his first fight against a superpowered being matching his strength that at best was stale-mating. Up to this point, all Clark was handling was disasters and held back against human opponents, so he ''wasn't'' prepared for this. So when Zod tried to laser beam some helpless civilians and made it clear he wasn't going to stop, Clark ultimately ''had'' to kill him as he didn't see any other way to stop Zod.
* DesignatedHero:
** As much as he tries playing himself off as a superhero, he acts a lot more like a bully to movies. The reviews for ''Literature/TheLittleVampire'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Robots}}'' come to mind, but honestly just watch the ''Robots'' one to see his running gag just for celebrity cameo-voices.

While Wonder Woman ''is'' indeed primarily associated with Greek Mythology, and has plenty of characters coming from it in both her RoguesGallery and her Supporting cast, she has been fighting plenty of other opponents over the course of her adventures, and plenty of her villains, including two of her most iconic nemeses (ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} and [[DepravedDwarf Dr Psycho]]), have nothing to do with Greek Myths at all.
** His review of ''Film/WarCraft2016'' makes it clear that he has barely done any research on the franchise. Firstly, he thinks that the movie is based on World ''World of Warcraft, Warcraft'', even though the film is based on the first game game, which is was an RTS and not an MMORPG. He is also under the belief that Warcraft ''Warcraft'' has no definitive protagonist or storylines, which is untrue. He states that Durotan is the main leader of the Orc Horde and paints him as a villain who leads the humans into a trap under the pretense of peace between their species, neglecting the fact the Horde consists of different clans, and Durotan is just a chief of a single clan (the Frost Wolves) and that he genuinely wanted an alliance with the humans to stop Gul'Dan from corrupting Azeroth, and that the two parties were ambushed by Orcs under the command of Blackhand and Gul'Dan. In fact he leaves many of the films details out of the review (most notably he mainly focused on the human side of the movie, and thus leaving out the orc's story arch). The biggest offender is that he claims that the film is ripping off The Avengers ''The Avengers'' due to Warcraft ''Warcraft'' also having an evil sorcerer opening a portal from another world so that an army can enter and invade Azeroth, despite the fact that this is the main plot of the first game which the film is based on! Which came out in 1994.
** During his review of the first season of ''Series/JessicaJones'', he compares Jessica snapping the neck of Killgrave to the scene of Clark doing it to Zod in ''Film/ManOfSteel'' ending, praising the former with how it's done and ending with the statement heroes always have choices. But as most commenters commentators pointed out, it was an unfair comparison because Jessica knew Killgrave years prior and knew how he worked and thought. So it gave her time to formulate the numerous plans she tried before ultimately killing him when she was out of options. Plus that Plus, Killgrave wasn't a fighter, it was his MindControl powers that made him dangerous and he only lasted so long because of his wit and various circumstances and Jessica only won because he let his guard down for a second. Clark Clark, on the other hand hand, had just met Zod Zod, who was a war general and thus a natural fighter fighter, and was quickly adapting to the powers Earth's sun as giving him. Plus Plus, it was his first fight against a superpowered being matching his strength that at best was stale-mating. Up to this point, all Clark was handling was disasters and held back against human opponents, so he ''wasn't'' prepared for this. So when Zod tried to laser beam some helpless civilians and made it clear he wasn't going to stop, Clark ultimately ''had'' to kill him as he didn't see any other way to stop Zod.

** In his review of ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'', he criticizes the film for, among other things, betraying the tone of the original film by having songs in it, noting that the only song in the first film (sung by Robin Hood and his gang) was a parody, and interrupted mid-way through by Fiona. Except that not counting pop song covers (which were also in the first film), there is only ''one'' actual musical-style song in ''Shrek 2'' (sung by the Fairy Godmother), and it's just as clearly a parody as the equivalent song in ''Shrek'', being a pretty obvious riff on "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" from ''Cinderella''.

Firstly, he thinks that the movie is based on World of Warcraft, even though the film based on the first game which is an RTS and not an MMORPG.

In fact he leaves many of the films details out of the review (most notably he mainly focused on the human side of the movie, and thus leaving out the orc's story arch).

** His review of ''Film/WarCraft2016'' makes it clear that he has barely done any research on the franchise. Firstly, he thinks that the movie is based on World of Warcraft, even though the film based on the first game which is an RTS and not an MMORPG. He is also under the belief that Warcraft has no definitive protagonist or storylines, which is untrue. He states that Durotan is the main leader of the Orc Horde and paints him as a villain who leads the humans into a trap under the pretense of peace between their species, neglecting the fact the Horde consists of different clans, and Durotan is just a chief of a single clan (the Frost Wolves) and that he genuinely wanted an alliance with the humans to stop Gul'Dan from corrupting Azeroth, and that the two parties we're ambushed by Orcs under the command of Blackhand and Gul'Dan. In fact he leaves many of the films details out of the review. The biggest offender is that he states that the film is ripping off The Avengers due to Warcraft also having an evil sorcerer opening a portal from another world so that an army can enter and invade Azeroth, despite the fact that this is the main plot of the first game which the film is based on! Which came out in 1994.
