Alright I'll bite. I hold a pretty negative view of Bob in pretty much all forms, but I seriously want to know why you still like him and his content. Are you seriously entertained by what he puts out? Does his dense verbiage not bother you? Do you find him funny? Do you think he makes good cultural critiques?
I'll put my cards on the table and say that I completely sat out the first wave of geek content that hit youtube. Jontron through sheer force of personality got me, but the channel awesome and other I'm so geeky creators held almost no appeal to me. I felt like an idiot trying to sit through their dumb characters, and cringed every time I felt like I was supposed to go "heh epic reference bro." I can understand maybe his shit and by extension a lot of people from his era are not my cup of tea.
What I cannot understand is how what he is currently putting out would at all excuse the shit ton of pure bile he has been shitting into the void of twitter. I cannot honestly understand why anyone would look at someone so genuinely unpleasant and think he is an "A-okay guy" unless you were similarly inclined to be as vindictive and brutish as he is. With all the benefit of the doubt world you could not explain away his terrible toxic streak that has become more and more vitriolic as he constantly has to reconcile why a big smart guy like him is constantly getting dunked on by everyone. Damn near everyone.
Don't worry, I'm being myself and not trolling anyone here.
Yes, I find Bob's content to be not only entertaining but he also makes really good points about the movies he reviews, that series of him "Really That Good" is very nice and his usual reviews are also good.
Bob does speak fast and tries to sound a bit too sophisticated for some of the material he is reviewing like the MCU movies but when he has a less blockbluster movie he makes better reviews, about him being unfunny, I think he
very rarely is fun but he is entertaining, I like also the visual aspect of his videos where he uses those American persona faces which give the review a more classy feel and so on.
His cultural critiques can be hit-and-miss but his cultural critiques of Batman Vs Superman are spot-on and even his (which is not his per say) about Marvel Cinematic Universe importance to Pop Culture, Politics and Culture in general is also very good despite being no his and more like a clipping of more thought provoking authors.
He is A-Okay in what he does, I'm not a Patreon of Bob and I thought his participation on The Escapist Movie Podcast was
okayish at best, his terrible and bizarre rambling outakes is he being a very poor comunicator using Twitter, being easliy trolled and so on.
If you take at face value some stuff that Bob writes you really can say "Well, this guy is nuts and believe in Eugenics? I'm outta here" and it's 100% understandanble but if you get to watch his videos, more context, you can clearly see that Bob doesn't believe in those crazy ideas.
