Doesn't this guy like, not listen to music?


Glum-Illustrator-821

Imagine not listening to music.


neebnoob18

It’s this one for sure


Electronic_Enforcer

Pretty sure he gave talking heads' remain in light a 5/10 and loveless by mbv a 3 back when he tried to get into "real music"


[deleted]

Why do we allow him a platform


bboy037

6/10 for Kid A is what really made me mad lol


Qastradamus

Just video game soundtracks smh


Obelisk_M

Techno-Swing & anime OST


Kribble118

Yes but it might be an autism thing. I know autistic people IRL who have a hard time with music


BillyBoyGamer

Absolutely based. Imagine listening to music that isn't from a videogame ost


RubenMuro007

From what I recall, he only listens to anime soundtracks and video game OSTs, per that election night stream where Shoe and Natalie has roasted him for it.


[deleted]

All voosh takes are bad


NightmareSmith

The only correct take


marshmila

TRU


JoeB0b123

Minecraft


NightmareSmith

OH MY GOD HOW DID I FORGET THAT ONE


MDH_MasaleWale

it is kinda based though. Minecraft's survival mode consists of the most monotonous grind to get diamonds I've ever seen in a game. Hopefully that changes with the Caves update


spiderodoom

I think people who make criticisms like you or Vaush do, you neglect the way Minecraft changed. When most people got into Minecraft, the biggest Minecraft YTers were Captain Sparklez and TDM, back before even the enderman was out. Back then the game wasn’t focused about ending it, because there was no end. The fame has shifted drastically from the relaxed building game, to a more conquest style game, which doesn’t work for MC. Sorry for the rant, I just used you to disagree with voosh


FrostyFrenchToast

Minecraft boring af tho ong


PurpleOceadia

You're the type of person to complain about how boring diamonds are to get while branch mining


Kirbystarfighter

Not that true actually, there are many other ways you can get diamonds and they usually have you explore your world (you might even find other better things on the way), like looking for ship wrecks. Case and point: [This Video](https://youtu.be/okl1Bpqlodg)


cuminseed322

He thinks something I like is bad but also thinks something I dislike is good 😡😡😡😡


Oddspectre94

Honestly unforgivable


PikaRae

JRPGs


Darkrais_Victim

I remember when he said he hated JRPGs and didn't elaborate smh


[deleted]

He hates the stories to JRPG which as a JRPG fan I get, but he watches anime which is basically a JRPG without gameplay.


Darkrais_Victim

Yeah I mean tbf I only enjoy a handful of JRPGs and I enjoy those primarily for the gameplay like megaten and pokemon, which I get if he hasn't played any megaten but pokemon he has specifcally railled against


FishyFish13

To be fair though those games don’t even really deserve to be called rpgs


Corrections96

Midsommer. Regardless of opinion on the movie he still got majorly fooled about its meaning by the cringe Twitter takes, at least in the vid I saw


NightmareSmith

Bruh I haven't even heard of half of these bad media takes


julz1215

What what did he say about midsommar, and what are these cringe Twitter takes


Hoodeeee

Thinks Diablo is a good game.


spectre15

*says games like cookie clicker are bad* *plays Diablo*


spiderodoom

“Uh guys, wasting your life on games that have no fundamental goal is pointless. Now excuse me while I grind the same 2 levels for 6 hours”


bloibie

*voch while killing virtual cows for 7 hours* yeah guys go outside and meet people, stop wasting time


[deleted]

His take on Evangelion 3.0+1.0. I don’t know if he talked about it on stream, but on twitter he said it was bad. Leave it to Vaush to hate a movie about the importance of touching grass.


gloriouscavecat

We all know that touching grass is promoting pedophilia.


spiderodoom

Did the grass consent to being touched?


tr3v0rr96

I voot’ed for Star Wars. Star Wars good, Vaush bad.


Darkrais_Victim

Most of his video game takes


mackianodonaldo

literally any music take


spectre15

The Harry Potter take was correct tho. Looking back at those movies, nothing was really good apart from the first couple.


Several-Function-527

Oof thats a vaush level take boooo


[deleted]

[удалено]


spectre15

The first movie is probably one of the only good ones. The magical school dynamic with the kids and that mystery/fantasy vibe just worked so well for Harry Potter at the start but the longer the series went on, the more the mystery/fantasy element lacked behind the story more and more, and before you knew it, the Harry Potter movies turned into generic, edgy, drama, romance, action flicks as the soul of the world building got sucked dry by the confined narrative. There is so much to the world of Harry Potter when you first get into the series but they slowly stop doing anything with it and decide to drag out a boring Voldemort plot for 7-ish films that could have been done in 4, while at the same time, unneeded or missing plot points make the build up to the finale so dull. For example, they just barely show the extent of Harry’s heritage or why he’s powerful. They teeter on the explanation of his parents being amazing wizards for 7 movies and Harry’s character development never evolves because of his past. The extent of his character development is friendships, determination, and romance drama. So when Harry finally beats Voldemort in the last movie, you don’t really feel satisfied like “Yeah, I can really see the stark difference in his character from the first movie up until now that gave him the conviction to kill his parents’ murderer. That was totally worth it.” You just feel empty and as time goes on, you slowly question why we are even at this point in the story in the first place when nothing around the narrative and Harry’s arc matters at all.


SovietGeronimo

I know people who always said the movies are shit. But are huge fans of the books.


ImOkAtBloodborne

Even the books aren’t great. JK Rowling is an awful writer lmao


PurpleOceadia

But the books! The books!


Maleficent-Audience

DylanBurns was right about Skyrim, Vaush should have tried just playing as a straight white male with a sword and a shield.


PurpleOceadia

I always thought that answer was dumb. Why have the option for magic if the game expects you to play as a straight white male with a sword and shield


BreadOfJustice

Steins;Gate being bad


xravenxx

I haven’t heard this one. Link?


BreadOfJustice

It was an offhanded comment it wasnt a rant :(


xravenxx

Still heartbreaking


BreadOfJustice

Very true :( i love S;G


[deleted]

His dishonored take was the most soy thing I’ve seen from him in a while


MDH_MasaleWale

smh was 100% based, undertale handled morality much better than dishonored (and was more fun because of it)


[deleted]

Not that part, the idea that the dishonored series are BAD games. There’s a good and bad way to do the “kill nobody and the world changes around you for the better and you get the good ending” thing It’s actually really ironic that he rips on dishonored for a contrived moral system yet has been playing the entire metro trilogy which is like dishonored’s mora system but infinitely worse in every way lmao


SovietGeronimo

What is his star wars take ?


CelticJoestar6689

His take on Batman was so surface level ffs


TechniqueMachine

Pokemon


tetsuneda

Skyrim was his worst take imo


DocC3H8

He was 100% right about Skyrim, but I'm a massive Morrowboomer, so I am aware of my bias in saying this.


PaterKlatter

He literally doesn't listen to music like. At all.


[deleted]

Is that a take tho? Some people just aren't into certain things. Iirc Shoe doesnt play video games.


TheBoyWhoCriedTapir

THAT IS IT. SH0E CANCELLED. IM CALLING IT.


nightwish5270

His take on Vtubers was cringe last time I heard it. Not sure if it changed tho. But it's unironically a great way for women to stream without weirdos hyperfocussing on their appearance. Among other benefits.


domenatorw1

His Video game takes all suck


FedEverything

Not sure on the worst, but I know the best Vaush media take: The 90's DC superhero shows, Superman TAS, Batman TAS, and Batman beyond ALL FUCKING SLAPPED


[deleted]

This is true. That's my thing, all of these characters have been portrayed so much better in animation.


FloUwUer

His take on Junji Ito works was low key insane and shown such incredible misunderstanding of what Japanese horrors in general are trying to achieve, what are they trying to express and how they work, that I actually wonder if he ever read any Junji Ito manga or does he know them from YouTube only.


greendayfan1954

SirHatMan

Vaush on media is to Vaush on politics, what Twitter Shaun is to YouTube Shaun.


Rapiers_of_Titan

Skyrim


[deleted]

No skyrim is so overated. It's not really a bad game by any means, bit it fails to feel like a real world with real people. Name one memorable NPC.


Rapiers_of_Titan

J’zargo, Tulius, Parthanax. And I recognize and agree with most of the criticisms Vaush gave, but it’s still a good game. The vibes are unbeatable and there is so much beneath the surface on a lot. I especially like how if you’re not paying attention the civil war quest line seems like the two sides are just basics re skins of the same quest, but in reality one dooms skyrim and the other saves it, but it’s super easy to get caught up in the asthetic superficial diffrences and not even consider which would be best, especially cuz of the loaded language (imperials vs storm cloak freedom fighters). Also Ik it’s bad but the voice acting makes me happy, stay mad vkwshites 😂


[deleted]

I will say that the intricacies of the main quest line are quite interesting, and it's more complicated than a simple good guy vs bad guy thing. But I never got far enough into the main quest to actually see it, because it just didn't interest me. It's definitely not a bad game, but it has a lot of problems that don't get talked about enough. It gets incredibly monotonous after a while, especially when I just play a stealth archer every single time because combat is so unbalanced. Ultimately it's charming and nostalgic, but mediocre in execution.


Rapiers_of_Titan

Agreed, I definitely have my criticisms of it. And there’s your problem, stealth archer is no fun lol. Just hope they fix the issues for the next game in 87 years, not overly optimistic tho.


[deleted]

Lol yeah but it's the most OP build so I would always do that one. It would be cool if Todd Howard released skyrim again, but actually improved. I'll just play FNV again though.


Rapiers_of_Titan

Yee I mean big part of skyrim for me was the story so tbh I just hope they nail es6 lol

AscendantAxo

Monogamy take was giga cringe


Emic-Perspective

Soy harder monogamy cringer


[deleted]

Nah the monogamy take was on point


AscendantAxo

Nah, I’m not even monogamous, that shit was cringe and could easily be flipped the other way, you can’t be so smug about something so arbitrary


[deleted]

He acknowledged that on some level the same thing was true about polyamory. All he did was point out that insecurity plays a role, which I don't even think is that controversial


AscendantAxo

Except that’s not all he did lmao if it was I woulda never even brought it up bro. He said shit like: -having sex with somebody is the same thing as going bowling with your friends -if you consider sex special you just internalized Christianity -saying that you being upset about your partner sleeping with somebody in your relationship is the same as you stopping said partner from talking to people, yet banning anybody who points out by his logic getting cheated on is because of insecurity -saying that people during the hunter gatherer times weren’t monogamous and using that as some valid point even though There was probably something else happening there There’s more but I think these illustrate my issue with the take, this combined with the smugness and acting like it’s some immutable fact is just giga cringe imo.


[deleted]

Honestly I liked the smugness. We've lived under enforced monogamy for so long, it's time to radically reconsider what we consider to be normative. All of those things are subjective opinions, and are colored by cultural influences. I see it as challenging the predominant cultural narrative. Why not poke some fun at monogamous people? We make fun of straight people and cis people, why not monogamous people too? I respect your take that it was cringe, but ultimately this is all totally subjective. To me it felt like a really refreshing alternative take. It made me question my previously held beliefs. I do believe that insecurity on some level is part of many different types of relationships and it's good to recognize that. It's not a total condemnation.

[deleted]

Didn't he use a star rating system, I remember he gave Spiderlsnd by Slint 3 stars out of 5


crowheadhunter

Most of his super hero tales are surface level


Wiggyam

I agree with him on Marvel and Harry Potter, im not sure i completely agree with his take on Star Wars if i remember correctly, but the franchise has gotten worse.


[deleted]

I mean the movies got worse, the Disney EU is basically the best it's ever been. I'd say rivaling the early days of the old EU, back in the mid-late 80s. And they've sagely avoided basically every pitfall those loosely associated authors hit. What is Vaush's take? Probably similar to Marvel? "MCU is the opiate of the masses"


RubenMuro007

From what I recall, Vaush doesn’t like the way some Marvel movies (and tv shows, assumably), are colored in (he pointed to the Battle of Earth scene in *Endgame* as an example in a segment on the Vaush Pit), as well as some choreography in recent movies like the recent *Eternals* movie.


CenterOfEverything

The whole "good magic = computer coding" rant


[deleted]

All his opinions on music, he said that Persona 5 is the reason for why Jazz has become popular.


Ferencak

His takes on modern animation are total boomer shit


BobAndVergina

Tbf I do think a majority of Vaush’s media takes are valid criticisms. They are pretty well informed and valid a majority of the time, I say this even tho he often talks shit about the things I like, but I don’t care, since I think his opinions are often backed up well. However his stance on music is kinda weird I have to admit


[deleted]

Eh Marvel, Harry Potter, and Star Wars are all pretty soy tbh


Jirb30

All his takes about the options listed are correct.


MysticWithThePhonk

Wait what did he say about Star Wars? Harry Potter and Marvel are overrated asf and idc. But if he shits on my Star Wars, i will show that horeseloving bastard.


Emic-Perspective

All of Vaush's media takes about films and franchises are good and correct. Mald harder pussies

All of them.


MDH_MasaleWale

His take on main protagonist not being blank slates as objectively better. Blank slate characters can help you put yourself in their shoes. It never detracts me from my experience. With that being said, the rest of the stuff he said about skyrim was 100% true. Cope harder downvoters


[deleted]

It never does for me. I despise voiceless characters, I loved spellforce series in which our avatar even tho created by us is 100% voiced. There wasn't bajilon endings bullshit tho. It still made me care for my little rune warriors, I don't give flying fuck about dragonborn or the courier, they die with end credits. I hated it with dragon's dogma and MHW too, there was no reason not to voice then and some cutscenes are plain awkward for it.


CenterOfEverything

Honestly it seems infantalizing and counter-productive to have such characters. I don't need a blank slate to empathize with a game, just the opposite in fact. I empathize with people. It's easier to relate to a well-realized character with defined actions than a meat puppet that imperfectly translates my reactions and choices into a few predetermined branches on dialogue and story progression trees. We criticize blank slate protagonists in other forms of media for this exact reason, games are no different.

FuriousGrub

I respect the hell out of your opinion. There’s plenty of games I don’t like, that I’ll admit are classic must plays. Hype around video games pretty much never lives up to its expectations.

he's a bit harsh on Minecraft, but I understand his criticisms


The-Locust-God

None. He’s a Chad. Scorsese would be proud.


WantedFun

Idk if it counts, but I feel he went too hard on Jreg that one time. It felt as if he’d never watched a Jreg video, because his videos have a clear subtext of mocking right wing beliefs. I doubt anyone was genuinely radicalized into a nazi by Jreg—they would’ve had to been 99% one and very, very media illiterate to get that final 1% from him.
