YouTube Era

Cartoon All Stars Drugs Special : This is the first cynical Nostalgia review. I continue to stand by the view that at first Doug was trying to portray a depressed middle age where he thought he could find hope in the past, but found horribleness instead. In all, he's really pissed that meeting of all these character was all for a stupid government crap.He's not angry, he's not 'Why do I live?' shouting, just pissed. But it's going to changed soon.

Cloverfield Trailer: Of course at that time (August 2008) it was called 1-18-08. Oh you think you are so clever, JJ Abhrams. But the point here is Nostalgia Critic moving away from Depressed Middle-age  man to just an Man of Anger as critic freaks out at the nonsense of ambiguity that is the trailer, also Donkey Kong scenario fit into the famous detour that Critic is known for.

Power Rangers: the Movie: As I saw this first 'real' review of the Critic, I saw two things. Voice, which turns from calm voice of middle-aged man to the angry Daffy Duck (slightly) at the end. The style is almost there. But  sadly the review is done calmly with no accents and nothing to take from. In all, the joke passes by, not saying hello. So most jokes are aren't laughed until second later. But it was good.

HP7 Book Launch: What if Nostalgia Critic got into the way as comedic interviewer, like Mediocre Films, instead of a reviewer. Congrats! This is the video. Nothing more to say, because it just shows how good Doug Walker is at comedy than anything else.

Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles: He's kind of  explaining into his final form... change of mind have been done. It's definitely a mid-point. Geek out mode over, funniness of his most cherished series start. The review becomes more and more angst till 'horriblef--kus'. Now we know we're getting somewhere.

Top 11 Scariest Nostalgic Moment: Yes, first top 11, and it's standard. it's too quick, but they had fit the time limit back then. (and no. 11 in Wikipedia is wrong, just saying.)

Super Mario Bros: The Movie: This is the earliest movie that has running out-of-video jokes. For the movies , What? To me, first 'standard' review.

Cloverfield: Let's get this recent review over with. Also, yes Donkey Kong Jesus was referenced again in the first anniversary, but that's outside the reviews...SO IT DOESN'T COUNT! Bum is slowly forming... INTO A GIANT MONSTER! No, I'm kidding. I guess this is the all caps review...

Street Fighter: OF COURSE! Skull and Guns. Entirely Pointless. I feel satisfying. Very best of reviews. Hmmm... This is audience suggested. That's why he is not the way he was? Does he just doing it for his job?
(pointless action sequence)
Mortal Kombat: Well, nostalgia is annoying. This is also great!  Trumpet shrug is there, too, but it belongs here. It happens. Some stock Aesop and chickification later, the movie hangs out, and we clear our eyes.

Space Jam: Yes, first movie I saw he reviews! I thought it sucked, but as it was commercialized 90's movie so I thought it should suck and I'll just enjoy it. (Wow, I never thought young me acted like Lupa) But with Lola, I didn't care because I believe Lola was in Baby Looney Toons... (searching) She was! Anyway, fun fact: Lola Bunny is voiced by Katie Soucie which also voiced Princess Sally in Sonic SatAM, and that's her natural voice! Get her the Furries hotline stat! But yeah... she described as Hawkisan women, Tomboy and Femme Fatale. And what do you get if you mix red, blue and yellow?  Brown! you get brown. Don't mix conflicting characteristics! I mean, how fractured your mind is when you're part tomboy and part femme fatale?! anyway, a classic review and one I show to my newcomers.

and that's it for Youtube era. We'll shelve more into Nostalgia Critic's greatness with review such as 'The Wizard', 'Batman and Robin', and 'Captain Planet' as we go to Part 1 of Rest of 2008. See you guys there.
