I think the source is fine, but the entry text doesn't make a good case for it as an example. What is the unfortunate implication supposed to be? "Falls very flat" just sounds like complaining.

TBH I don't if we should consider a single internet critic a source for this trope. Especially from one formerly from CA since a lot of them are known for Caustic Critic tendencies where they go extra hard on things for entertainment value.

It's the same reason there was some debate about the persistent linking of The Nostalgia Critic on So Bad Its Horrible

I think JesuOtaku is fine as a source, all her reviews are analytical much more than making jokes. However I recall the video review was rather vague as to the problems, saying it was sexist without specifying how (though it was made very clear this had nothing to do with the sexualisation). Did she set out the problems more clearly elsewhere?

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.
