Here are some of my own criticisms:


 * Choice of main characters: Now, I don't really hate any of the new main characters, but I do think some are definitely somewhat ruining the quality of SMG4. Saiko, for example, just does nothing but get angry all the time and just act like an weirdass anime girl. Meggy also speaks in a way that I consider odd and too formal for SMG4, and also caused Mario to become less of a funny character. I think it would be best if they were removed, or at least sidelined. I don't really care what he does with Tari. She doesn't really improve the quality of videos, but she definitely does not make it worse either. Bob and Boopkins are both pretty funny characters, so they should stay. However, older characters like X and FM should definitely return as main characters. They felt like regular guys with average intelligence that somehow got integrated in the craziness of the SMG4 universe. SMG3 should also come back for more appearances than to basically state that he's a villain.


 * Arcs: Now, I'm not saying I don't love the arcs. I think the Waluigi Arc was quite frankly amazing, the Rapper Bob Arc was decent, and the Anime Arc is great so far. However, at times I forget that this is a comedic channel because it seems that now SMG4 values story more than humor. I'm not saying SMG4 is bad at telling stories, but he's definitely better at humor. I feel that he should not abandon arcs, but at the same time, if he wants to do an over-arching story, he should do series like that fairytale series.


 * G-Mod: It's very clear that now, SMG4 loves using a lot of G-Mod along with the SM64 models. While I do believe it's becoming somewhat less of a problem, I feel that it would be better to go back to using SM64 models for the most part. Aside from nostalgia, there is a certain charm about those models that G-Mod simply lacks. What it is, I cannot pinpoint exactly. Though, I think it's because the crappy SM64 make certain scenes look a lot funnier in a way that G-Mod cannot.
