Kickassia (2010) - Movie Review

As I mentioned previously, the reason why Meta Month is set during April is because it was this month six years ago that I first watched an Internet video review which lead me down the long, winding path to this spot. Well, April 2010 also served as another important point for certain Internet critics. Cross-overs between reviewers is nothing new; hell, Siskel & Ebert was very much a cross-over and that existed long before YouTube was even a concept in the back of some guy’s head. However, in terms of the online video realm, the Nostalgia Critic had been toying with the concept ever since he started, pretty much. From his feud with the Angry Video Game Nerd to his review of FernGully with the Nostalgia Chick, there’s been a collaborative air to his work for a long while now.

So, after the success of the big TGWTG team-up brawl as the capstone to the AVGN beef, Doug and co. got a bunch of the then-current site talent together for the start of what would be a yearly tradition for quite a while afterwards: The massive cross-over film. This was where the whole DIY aesthetic of the Internet video reviewer got turned its head a little, as not only were a large number of them congregating into a single piece but they were going for a feature-length production, when most of their work would usually range in the 5-25 minute market. But, with all the years of retrospect and advances made to the format as a whole, does this film still hold up? In fact, did this ever hold up? Let’s take a look as we close out Meta Month at a look at the TGWTG 2 Year Anniversary film. This is Kickassia.

I said last time that I had far less of a personal problem with the critic I’d be highlighting today. At the time of writing that, I didn’t realize that I had so little of a real issue with this guy that I wouldn’t be able to come up with something to include in my typical smartarse introduction. Really, the closest I can get to something I don’t like about him would be his recent lack of production. Sure, he does Let’s Plays with alarming regularity but I mean in terms of the show of his I’m talking about this time around. But even that is understandable, given how I’m sure Paw has some more important issues to take care of at the moment, like his son for instance. … Oh wait, he said he could end up returning to the series soon. Well, if you take nothing else away from this, know that this is probably one of the nicest guys on the Internet. He’d have to be for even me to struggle to even jokingly put them down.
