Re: If I may interject...
Posted By: PriorMarcus <marcusrrjw@hotmail.com>	Date: 4/7/08 9:25 a.m.
In Response To: If I may interject... (stan) : I think the good Prior ought to stick with his initial qualification. In his : first post, after spreading all his vitriol, he suggested that the folks : at RvB don't seem capable of making serious machinima (which he seems to : believe is not an oxymoron) and that their trailer verges on parody. He : goes on to express his hope that this is indeed the case, for if it were : parody then all the qualities he so mercilessly panned would in fact be : virtues deserving of our praise; a perfectly valid point I might add. : Now, however, as he becomes more and more defensive, his tone has shifted : from hopeful skepticism to outright disdain. Consider the following drawn : from his post dated 4/6/08 9:06 pm: "But it's not a mild unhappiness, : I really didn't like it. I thought the dialogue was awful, I thought the : voice acting was cheesy." While this very well may be true you'll : notice that there follows no message of hope, no hint of recognition that : all the aspects of the trailer's composition which he finds so laughably : amateurish might have been carefully crafted to appear thusly by design. I : find that interesting. : I guess what I'm saying is, if it is a parody you're going to look silly (and : if it's not, then I will). : I should also like to note that if the good Prior does in fact believe that : 90% of fan created content sucks balls, than he clearly does posses a : "full spectrum of hatred for Machinima." Or at least as nearly : full as is realistically possible. Unless he loves that which sucks. Who : knows. I didn't really think that my opinion that it may be parody was relevant to the discussion with Louis about whether I was being worthwhile or worthless in general. I have enough faith in the Red vs. Blue guys to believe this series will be great, but enough apprehension to believe they might have taken a step in the wrong direction with this trailer. And honestly, 90% of Machinima is rubbish. Red vs. Blue, This Spartan Life, Matchmaking, they stand out and gain recognition because they are not. 90% of books are rubbish, 90% of films are rubbish... etc. It's that 10% which get highly praised and remembered.
