Ah yes, good ol' Don't Like? Don't Read! argument.

Considering there's an actual forum rule about not posting in a thread just to say you don't like the subject. Which is precisely what you're doing.

I mean, on one hand, if you're not fond of it, why do you try to talk about it? If you don't like it, you can move on if it's no longer to your taste.

On another hand, yes, that can be used to try to shut down any complaints or criticisms one might have.

Granted, I'm just bringing this up because I don't have much else to say.

I genuinely like some of Chuck stuff, just much less than while back. I just thought that some Constructive Criticism, wouldn't hurt. Hell, thanks to him I started watching Trek.

There's no need to get defensive.

I'm with , you're allowed to criticize the subject of the discussion. It's not posting in a threat just to say you don't like it if you write a calm post explaining what you find problematic or not to your taste about the subject at hand.

Some of his reviews can be pretty in depth. The Star Wars "Hero's Journey" documentary he made a while ago being a good example of this. Also check out his review of Gojira. or the Quatermass Experiment. He obviously had some things to say about those, and had done research for those reviews. Granted, he doesn't always get things right, but he tries.

Finally he did the Beyond review, though I wonder why he didn't score it. Shame really that the Kelvin movies are terminated because the casting is perfect and Beyond was finally making them do proper stuff.

Ah well, better going out with the bang rather than going Nemesis.

I don't want directors who blindly follow a franchise or work or who just toss things into their movie because "the fans expect it or will like it" (looking at you Zack Synder).

But a creator should respect the work.

Beyond was a popcorn movie with Star Trek as window dressing. So many missed plot points. Like Into Darkness, the movie was so in love with the idea that the plot suffered.

Some idiot requested he do a single episode of DBZ in the middle of a story arc. Results are predictable.

How do you make the thumbnail show up?

Huh?

In posts here, for his video.

TV Tropes only supports embedding YouTube videos. SFDebris isn't using YouTube, so it won't work here.

An interesting deconstruction of time travel scenario.

So, shows you'd like to see Chuck review?

Live Action: The CW Arrow-verse, Lost, Once Upon a Time

Animation: Venture Brothers, Harley Quinn, Transformers: Animated

I want to see his opinion on Steven Universe

Anime: Strike Witches - only because I want to see his reaction.

Anime for realz: Akira, Birdy The Mighty.

Sci-Fi:

• the grand-daddy of them all 2001 full stop.
• Silent Running (have some kleenx handy 'cuz it's a Tear Jerker)
• Flight of the Navigator (get some popcorn and some Koolaide, we're stayin' up past bedtime!)

Action Sci-fi:

• Total Recal The Ahnold one^note GET YOUR ASS TO MARS!.
• Predator and Predator 2 (warning, you might need eye protection from all that 80's action)

Horror:

• Night of the Living Dead 90's or 60's version (he could do both, but either one is good, the 60's one is Public Domain)
• Shock Waves - Nazi Zombies in The '70s with Peter Cushing as the Herr Doktor!

I'd like to see him tackle Age of Resistance.

I'd love to see him tackle the new She-Ra series.

Here's my list:

In other news, Chuck is - at least for the time being - out of Choas Mode. Today's episode is the Firefly episode "Serenity", and Saturday's episode will be a discussion of Jaws. (Am personally curious to see if he mentions the author's regrets over writing the original book due to how it affected what people thought of sharks.)

Wait, the first episode of Firefly is called Serenity, but the movie that comes after the series is also called Serenity? Doesn't that get confusing?

Yep. To be honest, I was kind of wondering which one it would be myself.

A discussion of Jaws? So does that mean it's going to be different from his usual videos?

Yeah this might be the first thing he does that really isn't in any way speculative fiction
