The Couch Critic

Hollywood......something we all know and an entertainment business we all grew up with for all of us still here today. But things are changing, technology has evolved, entertainment has expanded into other parts of our lives. And the way we tell stories has also changed a lot. But there are many reasons for why movies are dying and yes we can state the obvious reasons like politics and bad writing. But if we dig deeper, there is actually a pretty big reason for the collapse of movie theaters and movies.

Helldivers 2 is one of those games that you just have a blast with. It's a game where you get together with the boys and play on a Friday night. There is no worrying about being good or not, but it is a game that does not have PVP and is a game purely for fun. So. many games today have high competition for players and it really is just a turn off for most of us gamers, but this game allows all of us to be able to join in and have fun. But let me know your thoughts on this game below and if you enjoy it. personally I believe it's the best game of 2024 so far and truly deserves all the praises, but if you disagree, let me know your thoughts then.

So recently I have been hearing from people all over that gaming is dead and bluh bluh bluh. But I honestly don’t think games are getting worse, sure there are the Triple AAA games that are just dog water, but not all the games are bad and we’ve had some really good ones in the past few years including this year. We’ve seen countless games like Hogwarts Legacy, Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur’s Gate 3, Palworld, and Helldivers 2 become super successful and are games that are actually and genuinely good. But let me know your thoughts in the comments.

So I saw Dune Part 2 and I have to say. I don’t understand why everyone is saying this is a great movie. I think there are some great things in this movie, but sadly the negatives outweigh the positives. But let me know your thoughts and how much you hate my review, and if you agree with me, let me know what turned you off for this film.

So this is my top 10 Star Wars games of all time, with a little bit of personal biased also. I was basing this list on mechanics, value, messages, gameplay, longevity, and graphics for how I rated these games. I know it's a weekday, but I thought I would spruce things up a little bit for all of you and give a video that is for fun and laughs. Hope you are all doing well! These are personally just my opinion, but if you disagree, let me know in the comments below on why you hated my top 10. But thanks for watching and stay blessed!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode with us today. I wanted to make this video since December, but I just never got the chance to get around to it. I love Zelda and have always loved it, but I have definitely felt the change in winds and I think it was time to address this game. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, and stay blessed.

So the new Palworld game came out a few months back, but there is a lot to learn from this game. Did they steal from Pokemon? Is this game a wake up call to do better with Pokemon games? How should Gamefreak respond? Well stay tuned and listen to find out why.

So I made this video because I am genuinely worried about the future of technology. As much as I love tech and how much I look forward to the future. I am also nervous about what can happen with our entertainment. But what do you all think? Do you see this as a good thing or a bad thing? Let me know in the comments and have a blessed day.

Over traveling, I saw the trailer for Deadpool 3 and found some interesting things about the movie. Thought it looked pretty funny for the most part and looks really entertaining, and knowing how much Ryan cares about the Deadpool character. Well...I know he will put his heart and sole into the character. So I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with this film. But let me know your thoughts in the comments below and if you think this movie can fix the MCU.

So I got this game as a Christmas present from Charles and I was genuinely excited to play Star Wars Battle Front 2 because I love the prequel and OG trilogy, but also because I love the Clone Wars series. So I decided to hop in and check it out and make a video right after Christmas time, so technically this video is a bit late, but I thought this would be a good time to release it. But it turns out that I had a blast playing this game, the player versus player combat wasn't bad at all, and was a game I can hop into and play without needing hours of training to keep up with players. But something I realized was that this game lost its fanbase and completely fell off the face of the world. So why exactly did Battle Front 2 die? What was the cause for this game's downfall. Well in this episode I explain. Make sure to leave your thoughts on the game and if there was anything I missed.

Good freaking grief, this game is horrible and is just crazy how they released this to the public. If you haven't played it, don't! For the love of Pete, don't play it! Now this is obviously not the worst game in the world, but for a big company like Rocksteady, this is embarrassing. A major flop and a game that is surprisingly bad. But let me know your thoughts in the comments below and I'll catch you all later.

Hey everyone, so I decided to make this video because I am very unpleased with Thor's character in Endgame and what he eventually becomes in Thor Love and Thunder. Disney really lost what Thor was supposed to be and his character arc. And just like an old toy, they threw it away. I rewrote endgame in a summary of how I see the character and what could have happened, so let me know in the comments on what you think of the new character. Thanks for watching!

So I saw Echo...and well, it's pretty garbage I have to say. I actually was rooting for this show and I made a video about how good it looks. Sadly, I got my hopes up and it's just a mess of a show. And I genuinely feel bad for the main actress because it's not even her fault, but it's the people producing this nonsense. But thanks for tuning in today and make sure to like and to subscribe to see more like this.

So I've been seeing all the controversy with Star Wars and I had to chime in. But I am just so sick of this Star Wars universe, there is no leadership or direction for this franchise and it seems that Disney doesn't care either. And after 9 years of not learning anything, Disney decides to do the very thing they know everyone hates. The future of Star Wars looks like a wasteland of old memories of characters and worlds we all love. Sadly I believe it's up to fans to make their own stories now, because Disney just doesn't care.

So this is personally just how I see the Legend of Zelda series. I love theories and lore videos on Zelda and trying to put the timeline together. But at this point, when looking at the franchise, it's just way too confusing to understand what's really going on and is just how I feel about the series. But if you disagree with me, make sure to let me know in the comments below on why I am wrong. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day. Timecode: 00:00 - Zelda Timeline is a lie 01:00 - Why is it so difficult to put the Zelda Timeline together? 02:31 - It's very similar to one category 03:30 - How did they forget this big mistake?! 04:42 - The Zelda team wanted this to happen because.... 07:29 - My honest thoughts

I watched Rebel Moon and it's absolute dog water, nothing is great about this movie. Don't watch it. I was laughing the whole time during the movie and Zack Snyder seems like a great guy, but this movie is just garage sadly. But hey, let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

So the new Zelda. movie is coming out and we are all very nervous about how this movie will go if we are all being honest here. I love the Zelda world, but for some reason, I have such a bad feeling about what is about to happen. There is a way to do this movie and it is the only way to do this movie. Hopefully they do it the way I said it in the video, but who knows. Let me know your thoughts on the Zelda live action.

So I decided to touch on the whole movie industry falling apart and how sequels, prequels and remakes are the only movies out there nowadays. It's a very sad thing that is happening right now and it seems branded movies aren't going away anytime soon. But I hope you find the video informative and entertaining, let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Hey everyone, hope you are all well this week. I decided to make this video because of the current state of Marvel with Disney. Marvel has played a huge role in our lives, but has spiraled out of control. This is a more serious video than some of my previous videos and that is mainly because of how sad I am to see this franchise fall. It truly breaks my heart that Marvel isn't what it once was and has collapsed as a franchise. Hope this video helps answer why I believe Marvel is dead. And if I am missing anything, let me know in the comments.

So I just saw the Echo trailer, and I'm not gonna lie to you, but this actually looks good! Marvel has been swinging and missing with everything since Endgame, but it looks like they created a show that could be decently good. The only unfortunate part is that it may not be seen by fans, mainly because of how poorly Disney has been treating Marvel. This show may end up like Andor or this show is absolute dog water and it's just a good trailer. We will have to wait and see until the show comes out. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below and make sure to subscribe to my Rumble to see these videos a day earlier.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode with us. Today's episode is about Baldur's Gate 3, I really loved this game and everything about it, there are a few adjustments the game creators can fix, but it still turned out amazing! This game is a must play, and if you haven't already, go play it, please go play it and you will have a jolly time for sure. Thanks for watching and let me know what your thoughts are on the game in the comments below.

I love what's going on in the One Piece world and this is my personal opinion on who I believe are the top 15 strongest characters are right now according to what we have seen and heard. I think this ranking does it justice and if you agree make sure to like and subscribe for more. And if you disagree with this ranking, make sure to leave a comment below for who you think is the strongest.

So my team and I saw the show Sabime....Sabine...Sabin.....whatever. Oh wait, I mean Ahsoka. This show is a disaster and everyone knows it, sadly there are still people who have been bought and are pretending to like this show. And if you do like this show, congrats I guess? Is this really the Star Wars people deserve? Is this really what you all want? If so, great!? But for those of us who dislike it, you are not alone, this show is just an abysmal, it's boring's slow, and doesn't make sense. But anyways, I hope you enjoyed.

Who are the Zonai? Where do they come from? Why are the Zonai here? I have many theories about the Zonai and I believe my last theory in the video is the true reason why they are here. Let. me know what you all believe about the Zonai in the comments for sure, we'd love to hear them! Make sure to like and to subscribe to see more content like this!
