Maker screwed over so many people that I'm surprised a class-action lawsuit never happened (and if it did, I never heard about it). I'm wondering when Screenwave will drop, considering they abandoned video self-hosting.
Also, I'm so glad he brought up what a wasteland Dailymotion is now. It seems like the few people there that aren't either VEVO or corporations too cheap to get a Vimeo account are people terrified of YouTube's copyright bots.

I mean, some of this is clearly for the sake of humour, so I'm not sure I see the problem. Anyway, I thought he stated his basic issues with the song in a fairly clear, straightforward way while giving credit where he thought it was due. And ultimately, he was pretty positive about the song despite its flaws, which I appreciate even if said song is not entirely to my tastes. (I actually really like the melancholy vibe of it and the way the mopiness becomes weirdly triumphant, but at the same time the execution is a bit of a mixed bag even with the neat guitar lead over the sawtooth chords.)
I think that Coldplay gets too much of a bum rap in general, even if I haven't been too hot on their most recent material.
It's just that the juxtaposition of Greek gods and superheroes in the lyrics kinda feels off to me. He should've picked one or the other, or alternatively more seamlessly transitioned between the two.
Honestly making the first one Greek, the second King Arthur or something, the third like an American folk hero, and the fourth a superhero would have worked interestingly, I think.
I rather wish Todd would be more... serious, or try to make big points more often, since even if he's pretty likable to me and fun to watch his humor only rarely intersects with mine and I'm not very enthused with his execution. Can't really blame him though given that he seemingly hasn't yet had the chance to happily dig into anything far as the pop charts go. Otherwise enjoyably straightforward as always.
I know I'm probably dating myself by saying this, but Todd has always seemed at his best when reviewing something he genuinely, decisively likes or dislikes. If he finds something confusing or can't form an opinion about it, he tends to ramble.
Like, he did well back when Kesha was still doing the party-girl shtick, or when Chris Brown was still getting hits, or when Justin Bieber was still a kid and sounded the part.
Like an ouroboros, YouTubers continue to eat their own tail by pursuing outrage and controversy for views, leading to other video makers on the site being harassed by sections of their audience in the process, while making the site a difficult prospect for advertisers to consider investing in. 2017 was the year that the YouTube bubble arguably burst, but rather than helping it take off the ground again, the site’s community is continuing to help poison it.
Dan Olson and co ate a brunch with Shoe0nhead and her boyfriend, which didn't look great but Lindsay Ellis's explanation of it was pretty reasonable imo

my hatred is cemented, how I loathe those who brunch

They didn't correct her then because well, you know
This song is not about people. This song is about shoeless raccoon hillbillies whose only concern is Farmer Lawman and who live in the magical land of Cockaigne

I'm just not sure how well the balding pate goes with that.
(ETA: I posted this before I saw Vash's last comment. I'm sorry. I'll stop discussing this now.)

It doesn't help that the second verse is pretty undeveloped and names only Superman.
(It's not really dating yourself when there are other people here who have been following him since before 2011.)
That said, I also agree with you.

Sargon getting rekt, however, is hilarious.
