Nostalgia Critic: Civil War

Nostalgia Critic: Civil War is a 2023 epic action film based on the comedy web series Nostalgia Critic created by Doug Walker while also featuring characters from multiple other web series, produced by YouTube, Screen Gems, Channel Awesome, Cinemassacre, SpindleHorse Toons, Glitch Productions, Stoned Gremlin Productions, Mythical Entertainment, Atomic Monster, and A24, and distributed by AMC Theatres and Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the sequel to Kickassia (2010), Suburban Knights (2011), To Boldly Flee (2012), and Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie (2014), the prequel to Another Cinema Snob Movie (2018), and the first film in the planned YouTube Cinematic Universe (YCU). Hence the phrase "Civil War" appearing in the title, it is also influenced by Captain America: Civil War (2016) while also telling its own original story and elements. Combining live-action, traditional-animation and computer-animation and being a collaborative effort between multiple YouTube channels and movie companies, the film was directed by James Wan from a screenplay by Alex Garland and stars Walker as the Nostalgia Critic alongside an ensemble cast including James Rolfe, Lindsay Ellis, Brad Jones, Malcolm Ray, Tamara Chambers, Jim Jarosz, Rob Walker, Jeremy Suarez, Sarah Glendening, Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla, Damien Haas, Brandon Rogers, Richard Steven Horvitz, Vivian Nixon, Erica Lindbeck, Elsie Lovelock, Michael Kovach, Nola Klop, Harrison Ford, and Andrew Garfield. In Nostalgia Critic: Civil War, disagreement over the ban of video game movies around the world separates the YouTube community into two sides: one led by Nostalgia Critic (Walker) and the other by the Angry Video Game Nerd (Rolfe).
