Broken Base / The Mysterious Mr. Enter

Go To

  • His speech at the end of his "Twilight's Kingdom" review — a Moment of Awesome or another case of Mr. Enter sticking his fingers in his ears and refusing to hear any criticism delivered to something he personally liked?note 
  • Next to his "Twilight's Kingdom" review, ironically enough, came the already polarizing "Fame and Misfortune", an episode he loathed and ripped a new one due to his view of the show's writers attempting to strawman the fanbase and hiding it in an affectionate jab. The division comes on whether Enter is right and the show truly was making fun of the fans' tendencies to take the show too seriously and refusing criticism or if he's misinterpreting the message and riffing too hard on it and the episode itself. This was not helped that it was the first time in years Enter had reviewed an MLP episode (he stopped after Season 4).
  • The first few minutes of the "April 9th" review takes this to another level: Whether it is an awesome Take That! towards the folks who argue against Mr. Enter by saying "Cartoons are for kids, and that's that" or it's nothing more than an angry and mean-spirited jab towards such individuals' opinions. This was addressed in his "Troll" review, and Mr. Enter admitted that it would likely end up as such when he discussed the topic of trolls and cyber-bullying. Sure enough, that was exactly what happened, as the comments for the review mention people defending trolling.
  • In his review of Elf Bowling: The Movie, many could tell that Mr. Enter sounded more frustrated with the movie's faults than in his other reviews, which could be heard in his tone of voice from the very beginning of the review, which Word of God said was entirely faked. Some people enjoyed his strong reactions and felt that it was deserved considering the movie's quality, while other people felt that he overdid his reactions and wished that he had kept his voice down throughout the review.
    • Heck, even Enter himself seems to think he got too shouty - in his 2023 "Top 10 Worst Mr. Enter Videos" countdown, he mentions that editing the audio for the review made him realize he needed to calm down.
  • Because 12 oz. Mouse is a Cult Classic that runs on Stylistic Suck and has an intensely polarizing viewership, his video on it created quite a debate in the comment section, with one side stating that comparing it to other shows and reviewing it out of context is a wrong approach, while the other arguing that a bad show doesn't become better if it's bad on purpose.
  • His The Legend of Korra review is one of his longest (and most polarizing) reviews. Though most people have been civil over his opinions over the series, some of them aren't as happy that he didn't like Season 1, or say that Mr. Enter should consider creating a third series for animation that is between Admirable and Atrocious due to Korra's mixed reputation.
  • He panned Big Mouth pretty hard, despite it getting very good reviews from mainstream critics. Needless to say, this has created a divide similar to the 12 oz. Mouse, with some people claiming he just "didn't get" the humor in the series, and others agreeing that despite the positive reviews it got, it was actually a disturbing work of (supposed and alleged) borderline child pornography.
  • A more recent example is that Mr. Enter's reviews have been getting longer (for example, his Re-Animated review was 40 minutes long — and that was only part one). Many of his fans appreciate the extra analysis, but there are some who feel he pads the videos out.
  • The people who do like Mr. Enter are split over whether Animated Atrocities or Admirable Animation is his better series. People who like Admirable Animation prefer it due to it generally having less of Mr. Enter's infamous rants, and people who prefer Animated Atrocities find it more entertaining than Admirable Animation, mainly because of how bad some of the things he reviews are.
  • "Nick-O-Rama" was extremely divisive, to the point that the hostile reactions drove him off Twitter. Some fans like that he reviewed shows he hadn't talked about yet, or give those he previously reviewed a new perspective, such as Fanboy and Chum Chum. Others felt he didn't give other shows, most notably Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a fair chance, and called the reviews lazy and repetitive (for instance, his review of The X's consists of 6 minutes of Enter repeating the same two or three things he has to say over and over).
  • His criticism of COVID-19 responses, particularly lockdowns and masks, are especially controversial. Some were appalled and labeled him callous, while others felt that he made valid points on some excessive measures and consequences. Around a year after his initial COVID-19 videos, comments became split as to whether or not Mr. Enter was vindicated with new information, or if he was proven wrong in the long run.
    • In early 2023, Enter privatized all of the videos and listed them collectively as the #1 entry in his "Top 10 Worst Mr. Enter Videos" countdown. He didn't go into any detail regarding whether or not he still stood by the opinions; but he expressed regret over making videos filled with anger and vitriol, at a time when he himself was fed up with all the anger and vitriol in the world.
