Intro and the transformers

Our first total rewind start in a quaint little town of Naperville, IL where young 30s man working at Circuit City decide he wanted his childhood back. He just started to watch some old cartoon and movies from his childhood when he realized passage of time did some nasty things to them. He was aspring filmmaker named Doug Walker, and with his brother Rob Walker and his co-worker Mike Michaud they decide to knock on the doors of web entertainment, mostly because they were laid off.


First video of Nostalgia Critic seems more like a Bum review than anything else. But mostly it took the form a character that much like himself, excited and happy for the moment of childhood, into the Critic than the tortured soul that slouch to review a horrible movie, that Critic had become. It was way of showing that Transformer was bad, but it was just childish fun; something that most critic didn't figure out till the third movie. It was till second review that the he review the horrible stuff but it felt more like a warning that pure anger. 


So my not-so-good review continues as we see a gradual move from man in the 30s who wanted his childhood back and got bunch of crap to pure bile of anger and emotion that is the Critic today. See you next time on the YouTube era.


(This review will cover from Transformer to Transformer 3. Anything farther will be reviewed next July as part of my yearly recap.)
 Hello, viewers who stumbled to the jump break. Totally different topic here, so let's change fonts.


That's better. So few days ago, I was at the cemetery (don't ask) and I saw this on the tombstone.


 
DFTBA? What is this? why is there a nerdfighter symbol doing there?


Simple answer: Cohen Hands.
Cohen or Kohen, if you're Jewish, is like a priest, except Jews don't have a priest (at least from 78AD) They open the sermons, lead ceremonies and use this gesture to give 'priestly blessing' to people. If you're wondering Yes, Leonard Nimoy -who was a Jew- adapted the symbol as the peace sign for the Vulcans which Hank took as the symbol for Nerdfighteria by making it look more like gravestone sign.


So our sign is based on a Jewish tombstone symbol? That's creepy...


Happy Halloween!
