After reading these comments, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks smg4 needed changing.

Characters:

Saiko, Meggy, Tari. These “new” characters in my opinion are just making the channel less enjoyable and more lackluster. It used to be filled with funny moments throughout the whole video. Now it feels I’m trying to find something funny in his videos. I wasn’t around too long, but the old characters definitely need to be more prominent. I don’t know why it was a good idea to have saiko, meggy, or tari be reoccurring characters especially if they just lack any likeable traits. It feels like they’re a requirement for a video. Every scene they’re in seems contrived. Even the “jokes” nowadays are a bit forced. Mario’s character has been a bit ruined thanks to these new characters, but that’s no new info.

Videos:

I want to like the videos he puts out everyday, but the latest one was extremely disappointing (Mario does the chores). At first I thought this one was going to be alright, hence the title and it not being included in any arc (Like Mario gets stuck on an island, or Mario goes to the fridge to get a glass of milk) In the end, it was way worse than I would have anticipated. It was a combination of unfunny, and lack of work. Bringing back some more Mario 64 style might be a challenge considering all these GMOD characters stacking up. Mario, smg4, boopkins, and bob all have 64 sprites so use them.

Arcs:

The arcs are too over exaggerated. I guess some episodes are good but it seems too dramatic and awkward putting these goofy characters in emotional situations. Overall these videos are kind of cringy nowadays and that’s transferring to the main videos.

(Anime Arc:)

I didn’t even know this would become an arc. The first one of the arc was decent, second one was pretty good. But from there, things got boring fast. If it’s the anime arc, there shouldn’t be a video that has nothing to do with the concept in general (“meggys boot camp”) Destis death was, not going to lie, pretty cringy. I didn’t even care that much. There’s zero comedy in arc videos sometimes and that’s also a problem.

Voices:

In the anime arcs 2nd video, “Mario’s illegal operation” smg4 was given a voice, which I am extremely uncomfortable with. I thought it would disappear after maybe a few episodes but it didn’t but I think in his most recent uploads he took it out. All the lines are overused and are getting old. I think that’s all.

I just really hope he can fix things and listen to some constructive criticism. SMG4 is scheduled to post another video today so hopefully this one is good. Overall, I hope it dosen’t get worse.
