==Significant quotes==
*"I know a lot of fans send us e-mails saying they think [RedLetterMedia's prequel reviews are] funny, and then they refer to us as sycophants, and all this stuff, and you know what, I don't have time for that! I want to take something positive out of my fandom, or else I'm not gonna spend time doing it and calling myself a fan! And if you're gonna act that way, then you shouldn't either! So please stop sending us e-mails about this guy who's made these; I don't wanna hear about it anymore. I wanna take something positive out of my fandom. And I suggest you do the same, because I'm not gonna support People vs. this, or--See, I don't even wanna give them the time of day by even referencing them. So that's how I feel about it. I'm in it for a positive experience. I'm in it for what my personal opinion tells me that I like, and what I know I like. And I don't need somebody else tearing it down for the sake of entertainment, 'cause to me that's not entertaining! And you gotta question your fandom if you find it entertaining!" - Jimmy Mac
