Did we ever find out which one of the guys was the one responsible for the plagarism? I don't want to jump on any weird hate bandwagon but I sincerely hope they don't work for the channel anymore.

I think James is pretty much a hack, but it's annoying seeing people like CRON who make conjectures based on limited information about behind the scenes stuff or knowing what James must be thinking/feeling, then that stuff just gets repeated in the hater/disgruntled fan bubble until it gets canonized as fact to them

A lot of what Cron said was either true, because AVGN has said it himself in a BTS video or obvious because...you could see it in a BTS video.

Part of it was conjecture but CRON basically said as much as those parts

I LOL'd at the haters pissing on the video before it was possible to even have watched it. This thread was made less than an hour after the YT video went up.

He got John Romero to do voice work and took time to show every port of Doom. This is a top tier AVGN episode, especially for these days.

Honestly, YouTuber fandoms are so annoying. It seems like either it's people who absurdly kiss ass because they imagine the YouTuber is friends with them, or people who turn on them to an insane degree and start forming conspiracy theories about how they're scamming fans because ten years in the videos started to suck

How to make an AVGN video:

1. Cheesy opener tangentially related to the game forcing James to play it
2. Save money with discount code AVGN protecting your data with NordVPN
3. 10 minutes of the history of the game/series no one asked for and how James remembered it growing up
4. 2 minutes of James being an absolutely terrible player and bitching about it being the game's fault
5. James tries to give up but is forced to play it again but we need 5 minutes of dialogue to get this point across
6. 1-2 minutes of gameplay again
7. 20-25 minutes of shitty special effects and James pretending to be a director and not a film school dropout
8. Hey guys check out our latest new series on Cinnemassacre

I'm not blaming the dude. What's he really supposed to do? Stop doing AVGN and go get a day job?

He probably makes a decent buck to sit in a chair and read a script someone else writes for him. Good on him.

It's more his attitude surrounding a lot of things.

Most of the criticism about Cinemassacre/Screenwave isn't even a big deal (or is completely nonexistent going by shit posted on the Cinemassacre Truth subreddit).

Whether it comes down to James having another crew doing most of the creative work now, or doesn't play the games, or has an archaic understanding of filmmaking, all of that is completely fine. People have this preconception of what it should be since AVGN started with just him, but it's still his brand, and he can do what he wants by this point

Yea, while I agree AVGN been on decline, I have no problem admitting I still enjoy the new episode every now and then.

Cuz really, the plagiarism is a big issue if true, but other than that, every other "drama" feels like overreaction from fans.

AVGN actually have cool guests like Kauffman, Caulkin, and Romero (this ep) too. That's already way more effort than your typical gaming youtubers.

When James started letting others write Monster Madness, Cinemassacre was caught plagarizing and the employee plagiarizing was supposedly fired.

It was like ONE "Monster Madness" video last year. It wasn't even written by him. He was trying to do a video every day so he outsourced some of the script writing. People make a mountain out of a molehill these days when it comes to AVGN.

AVGN has been phoning it in for a long time now, and now that the vell has been lifted can never tell if he speaking from childhood memories in the heart anymore.

I was a shitty amv editor, but i find it strange that an editor of his skill caliber allowed a mic to pop in one of his own videos during that demon voice.

That said i see more energy than lately this time.

It's a monster movie review series that he does every October. One year, it was dedicated to international horror and the 28 Days Later review was pulled overnight because the script writer was caught plagiarizing someone else's review. James issued an apology and reported that the individual responsible was let go.

That was last year, right? It's the only time I heard plagiarism brought up with AVGN/Cinemassacre, but a few of the posts in this topic made it seem as if it was an everyday accusation with AVGN's work.

He's obviously way past his prime, but I don't blame him for keeping up with what is probably the least soul-crushing way for him to make a living.
