Response to WatchMojo Top 10 List.

What is the criteria for the top 10 list?- Has to be a somewhat popular or cliche halloween costume that classifies as traditional.

Out of the top 10 list, what do you agree belonged? What didn’t? If they all belonged, why? In my opinion, most of the costumes were generic costumes in general. Some however, in 2017, aren’t as picked as the others. Princess should definitely be 2 or 1 as even today, little girls especially still dress up as  princesses. I don’t agree with Witch being number 1 as I never thought that it was a costume that was more cliche than Zombie or Ghost. 

Are you in agreement with the number 1? Why or why not?- Not at all. I think Witch belongs on the list, but not at number 1. In my previous question I stated that I don’t see as many witches from people than I do Zombies or Ghosts. 

What arguments did the narrator make for the number 1? Was it consistent with the criteria listed at the beginning?- They stated that the witch costume was a classic and easy fix for a quick costume last minute. They used examples of how you could use lots of makeup to make it look good and a broom. The example they used however, it was actually complex costume with tons of makeup. I don’t think that quiet consistent because for other costumes like Zombie and Mummy they provided pretty basic ways to approach the costumes but didn’t with the witch. 

Suggest a new number 1 and explain why you feel it deserves that slot.-In my opinion, Princess or Army Soldier. If we go off the gender stereotypes, then these costumes are boys and girls favorite, at least at a young age.  For like 2 years I didn’t trick or treat and instead I gave out candy and out of all the costumes I had seen, these two were the most prevalent.

Now, thinking of what the narrator said for the number 1 selection and what you just suggested, is there bias? Is the audience left with a choice?- Well the audience watches the video of someone’s opinion and they don’t have to believe this person’s opinion. In fact, I don’t even believe there is a big bias. I know nothing of the author so I don’t actually know if he prefers witches to anything else. 

 

Responses to How It Should Have Ended YouTube Videos.

How Guardians Of The Galaxy Should Have Ended.

For my first video that I watched, I picked Guardians Of The Galaxy. I wanted to pick videos about movies that I’ve already seen so that I could understand the humor and jokes the authors made. Watching through this video, the layout of the video layout is set up in a way to make fun of plot holes and also presents jokes made out for kids ages 14 and under. I didn’t really laugh at any of the jokes but instead found humor in the plot holes being identified often times asking myself “Well they have a good point.” Overall, for a 6 minute video, I found it boring and I wouldn’t watch it again. My personal rating would be 5/10

 

How Star Wars The Force Awakens Should Have Ended

Another video that I didn’t really laugh at too much. The layout remained the same which is nice to see. They highlight the major plot holes that the movie presents and add in some 14 year old humor along with it. One thing I didn’t add on before was the art style. It’s actually amazing how well they recreate the characters for a studio which probably doesn’t have half the budget Disney has. So props to them for that one. 6/10 cause I love Star Wars.

 

How Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Should Have Ended

For my final review, I decided to pick a movie I hadn’t seen yet to see if the experience was any different. To be fair, when they made jokes about the movie, some of them I didn’t understand. But again, the plot holes being pointed out was the main driving force for the video and again, I didn’t laugh much. 5/10

 

Summary

Overall, this channel doesn’t seem like a bad channel at all. It’s obvious they put a ton of work into their videos and they are really good at sticking to their roots which is plot holes being pointed out. The graphics team does a great job drawing the characters and both music and voice acting is great. The humor isn’t for everyone and if you haven’t seen the movies, chances are you won’t understand some or all of the jokes and plot holes. Would I recommend this channel to someone? Sure. Would I watch it myself? Probably not.
