Line #32 Awesome/Phelous


1	----
2
3	* Any time Phelous shows that he can do better effects than the movie he's reviewing.
4	** When he parodies the gratuitous chroma key in Pulse 2.
5	** His inserting himself into a scene in ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968: 30th Anniversary Edition'', which comes across more convincing than the new footage that was officially shot and added into this version.
6	** Because so little happens in ''Film/TheTimeMachineIFoundAtAYardsale'' and the green-screening is so bad, nearly half of the review is devoted to Phelous imitating its use of Google Image screenshots for backgrounds. It's impressive how much better he is at it (thanks to things like "lighting" and "proper understanding of how to edit a film"). Also, to make fun of the fact that the film used a standard font from Adobe Premier, Phelous uses ''the exact same font'' throughout the review.
7	* Two words: [[Series/DoctorWho Phelous Who]]
8	** Better! It seems to be the title now.
9	*** And now he's made the intro even better, matching the opening to the new series.
10	* Related to both above, Phelous reenacts the entire plot of ''Triangle'' in his review for it, and manages to be both creepier and make more sense than the movie itself.
11	* The performance of the ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' theme in the end of ''Cry_wolf''. Especially awesome for those who grew up with Darkwing Duck.
12	* His review on ''Film/ASerbianFilm'', in which Phelous, who had previously watched ''Film/TheHumanCentipede'' without flinching, actually included a warning for the disturbing scenes he could actually show, before proceeding to violently ''eviscerate'' the film for its grotesque imagery and supposed message behind it. His utter rage is absolutely justified.
13	-->'''Phelous:''' I know I'm really falling into the [[CausticCritic angry reviewer thing]] on this video; well, '''''that's exactly how I feel about this movie!'''''
14	* The ending skit of his ''Film/FiveAcrossTheEyes'' review should count as he '''perfectly''' parodies the movie by ''sitting in his car, whining and crying, and flailing the camera about for a good'' '''''minute and 34 seconds'''''.
15	-->'''Phelous:''' So, you want a skit for this piece of shit? Really? Really? Well, (grabs the camera) [[PreMortemOneLiner this is all ''Five Across the Eyes'' gets]]!
16	* The ending to the ''Boogeyman - Stephen King'' review. After his [[ItMakesSenseInContext mirror reflection attempted to kill Phelous by downing pills]], claiming "this is what [the audience] wants", Phelous decides to ruin it for us by [[Series/DoctorWho regenerating]]. Granted he regenerates into a ''cat'' but, still...
17	* The ending of the ''Film/ResidentEvilAfterlife'' review when he shoots the case and the DVD with an actual gun! Granted it was filled with airsockets, but still.
18	** YOU'RE AN ALICE SANDWICH!
19	* ''Killdozer vs. Lifecrane''. The fight in the movie isn't much to talk about, but the voice over almost makes you start rooting for Lifecrane...up until the humans abandon it.
20	* His thorough Deconstruction of the [[BrokenAesop pretentious "message"]] in ''Film/FunnyGames''.
21	-->'''Phelous:''' Sure, a lot of people like violence in media like in films or in video games, but unless you're a complete asshole and can't tell the difference between real violence and fake violence, we don't need some film that think it's so clever [[{{anvilicious}} wagging its finger at us]]."
22	* His response to the director of ''Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers'' calling Creator/DonaldPleasence's final performance 'boring':
23	-->'''Phelous:''' [[https://youtu.be/Tq7AJe2wXbw?t=222 Sooooo much fuck you, buddy.]]
24	* Phelan, [[Creator/AllisonPregler Alison]] and [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Brad]] all deserve equal props for their ''{{WesternAnimation/Foodfight}}'' review. The first five or so minutes of Part 1 consists of them talking about the troubled production of the film in greater detail than any reviewer before them, including a list of what sponsors dropped from the film and clips from the film's original trailer. They also manage to point out some quirks of the film that may not be immediately obvious (such as the voice actor for the Count Chocula expy improving his lines, the fact that the 'floating' soda bottle Dex is riding on was actually attached by a string in the original cut, and the color schemes for certain characters being switched around). This whole review is a giant case of them [[ShownTheirWork showing their work]].
25	* His calling out of the [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled]] DoggedNiceGuy protagonist of ''Cabin Fever 2''.
26	-->'''John:''' Fuck you! How you can not like me, somebody's who's known you your entire life, who would treat you like a fucking queen...
27	--> '''Phelous:''' ''Clearly.''
28	* In a similar way to Halloween 6's response, there's his response to Q5 changes to make [[WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters Janine]] less "Slutty".
29	--> '''Phelous: while flipping the bird''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW51PDa_puE&t=9m12s Sooooo much fuck you, Q Fuck!]]
30	* In his review of ''Film/{{Lockjaw}}'', Phelous redirects a line from a DesignatedHero who called out the antagonist for murdering her friends in revenge for them accidentally running over his wife (even though they ran over her ''and just passed it off as an animal without a second thought'')
31	-->'''Phelous:''' And ''you'' suck, you miserable bitch! [[WhatTheHellHero You ran over his wife and don't even give a shit]]! Fuck you!
32	* [[invoked]] Phelous' brutal calling out of ''Film/WrongTurn5Bloodlines'', from the IdiotPlot to the pointless scenes to the KarmaHoudini moment. He goes as far as to predict that the sequels will involve the Hillbillies going to an army base and killing the soldiers, going to the moon and blowing up the planet, and finally going into space and killing the aliens despite the aliens having the superior firepower.
33	* He gives ''Film/PromNightIIITheLastKiss'' a pretty good tearing apart. In particular, he calls out how unlikable the cast is (Alex is a DesignatedHero who helps cover up murder, cheats on his girlfriend, and is all but stated to have [[BrotherSisterIncest fucked his sister]] in the past, Sarah is a LoveMartyr, and Mary Lou, who was introduced in her [[Film/HelloMaryLouPromNightII first appearance]] as a [[EvilIsPetty petty villain]] who was only concerned about winning Prom Queen again and [[ReallyGetsAround doesn't care too much for commitment]], has had her [[CharacterDerailment character derailed]] into a StalkerWithACrush {{Yandere}} for Alex). He even says the DownerEnding loses its impact because the cast is so unlikable that it feels cathartic. This is pretty poignant considering that while he admits it's [[{{Camp}} campy]] and full of plotholes he actually enjoyed ''Film/HelloMaryLouPromNightII'' at least on some level.
34	* A moment not from the man himself: in one episode of Bootleg Zones, he notes that "Cerebral" is probably the best [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Krang]] figure ever made... and it's not even an official release!
35	* Phelous' review of ''WesternAnimation/RapsittieStreetKidsBelieveInSanta'' is probably the most informative one there is on the internet, giving much in-depth background on the studios, people involved in its production, and how the Lost Media Wiki got a hold of it.
36	* His defense of [[TheScrappy Venus de Milo]] in his ''Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation'' reviews. While he acknowledges that she isn't the best written female character in the franchise, he also points out she actually ''isn't'' the worst character in the show and is actually sympathetic in some ways.
37	** It gets better: Venus is the only main character in the show to not get the ‘’Biggest Idiot of the Episode’’ award. Compare that to Leo, (Who has five.) Donatello and even Splinter (With four awards.)
38	** The series retrospective ended with him looking at the show’s crossover with ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'', however Phelous has very little experience with ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', and this season was made before the franchise adopted the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' model of each season being a self-contained story. Given these factors, one might expect Phelous to just review the episodes as is, while using fan wikis and recap videos to fill in the blanks. Instead, Phelous wanting to ensure his criticisms are as fair and accurate as possible he elects to watch not only the entirety of ''In Space'' but also '''the five prior seasons.''' This amasses to a total of 293 episodes [[Film/TurboAPowerRangersMovie and a theatrical film]] for the sake of being as thorough as possible, now that’s some dedication!
