When this arose in latest topics, I got excited for a G2 cancellation reaction video

…it’s not gonna happen is it

I dont think it will, especially concidering that he vanished off of youtube and hasent posted in since winter 2015 xD

[Spawnfromtwitter]

he was the bloke

[Kiixaar]

@Square

He still haven’t post anything for a year and youtube say his last active was a day ago…

“active” might mean that he was logged in, but uploaded nothing. Just my guess.

Yeah, pretty sure that that’s what it means.

He’s been super busy with school and such, so we may or may not ever see a revival. That said, he’s studying film production.

[OraNui]

His reviews weren’t always all that great, but they were entertaining nonetheless and were the first set reviews I ever watched, so there is a nostalgia factor. He seems like a decent guy, and he seemed to be pretty passionate about film which is awesome, hope he’s doing alright with whatever he’s doing right now.

[Stoax]

So I decided to browse my subscription box and stumbled across this…

THE RETURN - Teaser

“But not as you might expect…”. Well now, this can be taken any way. Maybe he’s going to bring back the reviews with some interesting twist? Another short film? Whatever the case it’s neat to see him active again.

[Azani]

Nice! I’ve been talking with him, and my guess is that it’ll be something completely unrelated to Bionicle, but serious as far as short films are concerned - actually, I saw a trailer for one of his latest projects where you can briefly catch a visual cue that references the Toa Mata. He’s been working on a few dramatic live action works that are pretty spectacular, so…?

@Plural

I know this isn’t a fair comparison, but Here is one of LMS’ Reviews:
[Might have some words that are seen as inappropriate]

Bionicle Classic Review: The Tohunga 2001 (McDonalds Matoran Promo)

And here is Eljay’s on the same sets:
Eljay’s Recap Review: The Tohunga

Any thoughts?

@Plural

I know this isn’t a fair comparison…

So, don’t make the comparison then.

[TeslaEffect]

Unless he evolved his reviewing and presentation methods, I say skip him for far better youtubers.

Well, we have no idea, because his “return” hasn’t begun. I say that we skip what you’ve suggested for now.

My dude, that’s a two year old post. More likely than not, I don’t actually agree with what it says nowadays.

As for the return?
If we’re basing it off of his previous reviews, I’m not expecting anything great. They’ve always been filled to the brim with misinformation and using the carpet as a background leads to a rather hideous-looking review. A change in style would be pretty darn great, so if he returned with such, I would be surprised in a positive way.

I’m not too sure if I’ll watch his new stuff if it’s not related to LEGO though. It’s the reason I first found his channel and a change in purpose would honestly kill my interest.

Ah, my dude, I guess that I’m not as quick to change my opinions as you are, then. Apologies for assuming.

By that logic, though, we have no reason to expect that his “return” will have any similarity to his previous videos of two and a half years ago; although, the ones that you made reference to are even older.

Give the guy a chance - he started when he was in middle school, and he’s a college senior now. In fact, at his peak, he almost more subscribers than TTV does now, since he was so incredibly good at interacting with his fans; I think that they passed him less than a year ago.

EDIT: He’s back.

Seeing how I was fourteen when I wrote that and opinions ■■■■■ over time, I think it’s alright that my views on a YouTube channel changed over two years.

I, uh, I have no idea what you’re talking about. The videos I’m referring to include his most recent LEGO content, more specifically the Master reviews which, similar to his older content, is filled with misinformation and the cruddy carpet background. As for the whole “that logic” thing you’re talking about, I’m not too sure on what you’re referring to. I only mentioned how a change to his review style would be great and how I would be disinterested in non-LEGO content, nothing that would indicate that I knew what he was going to do.

I don’t see why the time in which he had been on the site and his previous subscriber count really correlates to why someone should give his channel another chance, especially considering the gaps in time where he was inactive or posting content that was not exactly sought after by his fans.

- YouTube

Eh, I’m probably not going to stick around. Movie-based content is not exactly my thing because it’s such an expansive topic. I’m glad he can make content he’ll enjoy though. If he loves movie making, I see no issue with him creating material relating to it. It’s just not for me.

I mean, I would agree if you, y’know, haven’t changed your mind.

I made a small mistake, and I’ll admit that.[quote=“Plural, post:54, topic:12410”]

Uh, it definitely is a reason for why you should give him a chance - he’s really good at a few things, even if he isn’t great at everything.[quote=“Plural, post:54, topic:12410”]

I respect that.

[TeslaEffect]

He calls his channel “MovieGrumps”…Might think he has anything to do with Game Grumps, but no.

[Azani]

Sorry, what are you saying?

[TeslaEffect]

Pretty clear honestly, the dude changed his name.

[Azani]

Uh, it’s not very clear with your syntax and grammar, so don’t try to claim that it is. Obviously you were saying something about the name connection; I just don’t get. Of course he changed his name; it isn’t h=tough to understand that.

[Mctoran]

Legomation studios was my first and among my favorite BioTubers back in the day. I would watch his reviews on the bionicle and hero factory sets and his only.

Though it’s kinda sad to see that his channel kinda died when he moved away from Bionicle and became a movie review channel.
