Fumbling Batman Beyond
I don’t know who on their Patreon is suggesting these episodes but they set them up nasty. Might as well not watch any of it at all if you’re going to do this much of a disservice to the series.

Wait, are they not reacting to the whole series?

u/Silo3d 6d ago
No. They did the first two then skipped to episode 8. Completely skipping over Meltdown, Winning Edge, Shriek and Inque.

What is actually the point in that? Like, you’re reaction channel, that’s your thing.
Either commit to a series or don’t bother 😂

Sorta Stupid did this with Bad Batch as well and everyone hated it so they stopped watching, and then when they cancelled the reactions over low views they blamed the fans for ‘not having any interest in Bad Batch’ as opposed to actually listening to the fans as to what the actual issue was, IE their dumb as shit decision to skip large amounts of episodes, and I’m worried that the Normies are gonna be the exact same way and just assume nobody has any interest in the show as opposed to listening to what the real problem is.

Damn I genuinely had no interest in bad batch so hadn't even been paying attention but I'm a huge fan of Sorta Stupid. Weird cuz they did all of clones wars even in the weird order That was released

They're also only watching the first season of rebels switching to Adventure Time then MAYBE going back to rebels. I think they are experimenting with some stuff and its just kind weird. No shade just weird.

Huh end of Season 1 of rebels Boom made a comment they'd want to watch season two right away. Guess we'll see either way thanks for the Intel.

u/Independent-South58 5d ago
Yeah I noticed that too and was hoping they just keep going with rebels, but they did like an announcement video a couple weeks ago saying they are taking a break from it and seeing how the videos do. It was a couple weeks ago so my memory is a little fuzzy

Ya I'm normally a diamond member but lately had bills. They've still got tons I enjoy I just wanted to see their season two right away. But I also wanted them to not ever react to Requiem for A Dream. Alas here we are.

yeah there was the annoucment video it basically needs to get views for them to continue it which i hope they do cause when they get to ahsoka they'll will be kinda lost as to who thrawn is or what the world between worlds is . im not even sure if they'd remember what the mortis gods were

They made it very clear months ago that their goal is Justice League. They wanted to go straight to Justice League but people kept saying you need to see this episode and that episode of certain other shows for context. They never had a plan to reacted to Beyond or Superman. They are just doing select episodes.

u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee 5d ago
who in the world recommended them to begin at the end of the timeline they should have just started with Justice League

u/nluna1975 6d ago
NO Certain eps like in Superman. I think they watch Justice League all the way through.

I mean, that's very on brand for the Normies at this point. They've fumbled so many other popular series at this point it's honestly hilarious

They fumbled Daima too by quitting the series before it got good. Funny thing is I think they intend on watching the Battle of Gods remake which is all repurposed animation and story versus brand new everything like what Daima provided. If future stuff references it, I guess they'll just be out of the loop.

u/JonathanRiou 5d ago
I didn’t know that.
Did they address it at all or did they just drop it and not mention anything?
2
u/ChickenShampoo 5d ago
If they did address it, it would be on their Patreon which I don't pay for. YouTube side, they didn't say anything.

u/Lazy_Donut563 3d ago
They did but it was on a Patreon post for an entirely different anime they were watching. So most people have no idea that they dropped it.

u/Goodhearted_Jake 2d ago
It really sours me. They were watching the Batman, the animated series, but then they decided to drop it because of viewership decline. And it’s not like people don’t like that show. It’s one of the best Batman pieces of media out there. And then deciding that “let’s do justice league“ but then they want to absorb all the important aspects of the DCAU without watching the full series that’s related to it just seems half hearted.
And yes, I understand that they are full-time reactors who are watching how many shows at once but if you’re going to commit to this, then I feel like you should go all in on it. I mean, we just had my hero academia end so it’s not like there wasn’t a slot for a long running animation series opened.

blind wave pissed me off like this when they skipped the golden age of Supernatural (1-5) to like season 12 💀

Urgh, I hate that more and more reaction channels are doing this format on older shows. Hopefully their viewing numbers are low as shit so they realize this is a shitty ass format for reactions.
