YouTube, networks and other unfun things

I wrote this, was ready to post it, then Chrome crashed. Fuck you too, Google and Google-owned platforms. 

The main thrust of it was to state that I won't be uploading to LeagueofSuperCritics on YouTube anymore, and to inform everyone that my new HQ on YouTube will be at youtube.com/chezapoctube, and to please subscribe! Yeah, it feels weird to be begging for subscriptions, but, well, I won't call it a "mistake" per se, I... well, actually yes, I will. Because I did not own LOSC - Mak...

Queen Elizabeth I

You may have noticed that there is no credits just yet- well, my little travel computer and doesn't like Patreon's coding and therefore won't display patron info for me, so there are no credits. But I will update this very shortly with credits!

February Episode

So I'm almost done with the next episode (it ended up being Queen Elizabeth I - surprised? Me too. I thought Hitler was a shoo-in!) For February I was thinking the theme should be "starcrossed lovers" (Romeo/Juliet, Cathy/Heathcliff, Cleopatra/Antony) but when I joked about doing a full length review on everything wrong with Phantom of the Opera (2004), that one got a lot of interest. But for what I have in mind it would take a lot of time and effort (like I said, it would be a long'n) - so I le...

Mini-Canon: Jacks of King Kong

For a story that doesn't change all that much between version, our heroine's main love interest sure does. A look at changing masculinity through the years.

Updates, mini-sodes & rest of the year schedule

First things first, to compensate for my falling short in terms of scheduling, I'm going to do mini-sodes a bit more regularly. The first will be a sort of King Kong addendum - that'll be up later today. Those will be paid posts.

For the $10+ group, to clarify some things - if I release more than one paid post in a month, but you cap your payment at $10/month, yes your name will still appear at the end of every video. So don't worry about capping payments! Also, did you know you can do tha...

LC theme for September?

After doing a really specific one (X-mens), I'm feeling broad again. Here are some to choose from:

Biblical/mythological: (Moses, Hercules, Loki, Cupid, Noah)

I have to fucking watch Once Upon a Time Again: (Cinderella, Snow White, The Beast, Evil Queen)

Trash hurricanes that need therapy: (Catwoman, Gollum, Heathcliff, The Phantom of the Opera, Hannibal Lecter)

Concepts: (The First Female President, Robot W...

Oh, no, it wasn’t the airplanes. It was colonialism killed the beast.

Character voting for Ep. 8 - X-mens

Because I've been getting a lot of requests for X-mens, the next episode will be about an X-mens character. So choose one (1) X-mens in the comments, and I will pick three for y'alls to vote on for episode 8. The only restriction is that the character must appear in X-men: Apocalypse. That means no Gambit. 

Delays, LoSC and the Deal Right Now

I will try to make this brief and not speak out of ignorance, but since I did say I was going to keep a schedule things need be known.

As you may or may not know, I have no control over League of Super Critics. If you follow the YouTube channel I share with Doug, Brad and Todd you may have noticed that there haven't been updates from any of us for a few weeks. I'm told this has something to do with ad revenue and/or being able to upload videos longer than fifteen minutes. Things fil...

Death Notes

There is no fair. There is no justice. There is just me.

Angel of Death - Hellboy

Open Question - Loose Canon 6

So although I gave myself an executive decision for every 5th episode, it's still not hard and fast (believe it or not), and I have not quite yet decided who will be tackled after Death. So I'm curious - based on your knowledge of my interests, media available and the format of the show, what is a character you'd like to see me cover?

Help me decide on the voting theme for May's Loose Canon!

So now having suffered through the agonizingly redundant entirety of Marvel's Civil War, my research for Captain America is almost done, meaning it's time to start looking forward to episode 5, which will come out in May. I've narrowed it down to some possible themes: Ancient religious figures! (Moses, Loki, Cupid) Public domain book characters! (Ichabod Crane, Long John Silver, Tinkerbell) Oh boy I get to watch Once Upon a Time again! (Cinderella, Snow White, Mulan) Abstract personificatio...

Wicked Witch - unabridged notes, sources, further reading

Witches. If you’re a woman in hollywood over the age of 35 you have probably played one. In fact you’re probably in the process of playing a witch right now. This can speak to many facets regarding the way we view women but I don’t think all of them necessarily bad. In part I think it speaks to an increased interest in complex witch characters. No longer is the witch a one-note archetype. No sir, now she’s a complex figure with motivations and a backstory. From the simplistic archetyp...

Loose Canon: The Wicked Witch of the West

The delicate tango between the archetypal witch and the copyright holder. BATHE IN ITS INCREDIBLE LONGNESS. Seriously, this is the longest video I've ever made.
