Misuse; though people hated the review, it wasn't because the work was panned, thereby missing the point of "He Panned It, Now He Sucks".


* HePannedItNowHeSucks: While the Critic/Doug liked the movie overall, many (especially fans of the original album) absolutely '''hated''' this review. On the video as well as the subreddits, many find the review unfunny and to be totally missing the point of the album as well as insulting to Music/RogerWaters's autobiographical aspects. Not made better by the fact that many don't feel that it's actually being reviewed until a few seconds towards the very end[[note]]an opinion which boiled down to it being good, if a bit self-indulgent[[/note]]. The outrage from fans of the movie/album, combined with confusion from non-fans, resulted in a staggering amount of dislikes on the video, negative for even his most divisive reviews[[note]]disregarding those that came out during [[OvershadowedByControversy the height of the Channel Awesome PR nightmare]][[/note]]. This backlash was so immense that some of his most vocal critics [[NeverLiveItDown continue to use it]] as their main argument against the entire ''Nostalgia Critic'' series, if not the "[[CausticCritic angry reviewer]]" video sub-genre [[GenreKiller as a whole]], and the review caused [[WebVideo/CrashThompson one critic]] to abandon his original brand in favor of his real name [[BrokenPedestal since that branding had been inspired by Walker]].

general clarification on works content


** He refers to "Goodbye Blue Sky" as an "[[AwardBaitSong Oscar bait song]]" when it was one of the tracks on the original album and thus wouldn't have qualified for an Oscar when it was made. He also accuses the song's placement as insensitive due to being a song about World War II coming right after "Another Brick in the Wall", a song about high school (claiming it's arguing high school is as bad as the Holocaust). In all versions, there's at least one song separating the parts of "Another Brick in the Wall" from "Goodbye Blue Skies"--on the album, it's "Mother", in the film, it's "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" and "When the Tigers Broke Free" (these do both deal with school and World War II, but again, it's a film about a British boy born in the early 40s whose father died in the war; those two topics would overlap a lot).

It also is not Oscar Bait in more metaphorical way as "Goodbye Blue Sky" is a very sincere song. He also accuses the song's placement as insensitive due to being a song about World War II coming right after "Another Brick in the Wall", a song about high school (claiming it's arguing high school is as bad as the Holocaust).

* OneSceneWonder: While the review has become notorious in all the wrong ways, the ''WebVideo/SatelliteCity'' cast's appearance and song generally stole the show and were found to be much better than the rest, if generally weird and perhaps out of place.

* BrokenBase: Is "The Trial" segment, which features a crossover with ''WebVideo/SatelliteCity'', a beautifully animated addition and the best part (if not, according to some, the only good part) of the review, or is it a complete mess that comes out of nowhere and only makes things more confusing? To many, this comes down to their familiarity with Fennah's work and whether or not they find the character designs appealing, though some fans of him do fall into the latter category and vice-versa.
