I Hate Everything

> "The first viewing I was genuinely unsure of my feelings but had an overall positive outlook and vibes. Second viewing I had a much better time - it's widely accepted that the film is much better after the second time. The third time I just had a good experience and was never bored."

**I Hate Everything** is a YouTuber who makes media reviews. He has had a long yet sparse and erratic history with EFAP, but one that ultimately ended on a positive note.

I Hate Everything made his video on *The Last Jedi*, focusing it both on the quality of the film itself and on the response to the film, and Rags ended up making a response where he countered his arguments. IHE's video simultaneously tried to argue that the film itself wasn't as bad as people were saying it was and also tried to criticize extreme responses like harassment or death threats as unjustified (something that would of course be true regardless of whether or not the movie was good), making it difficult to tell which part he was talking about in various parts of the video. He explained that he was arriving late to this topic because he felt beat down by the possible response, seemingly to temper the flack he expected to get, as he stressed that the video is just his opinion. IHE argued that people are being too angry at *The Last Jedi* and that many of them went into the theater just wanting to hate the movie and the discussion around it is "just straight-up malicious and overly simplified." and that the criticisms from so-called "fans" who disliked it were not real criticisms. He described the reception of the film as being two options, either loving the movie or thinking it's the worst thing ever.

IHE seemed to not hold the movie to the same level of scrutiny he'd hold other media to and defend it against criticisms he'd normally be fine with because he liked it. He expressed surprise at how negative people could be towards a piece of media, an odd comment from someone whose channel is based around, well, Hating Everything. He wondered how people can be so cynical towards a franchise that is about never allowing the darkness to win and holding onto hope, to which Rags pointed out IHE was equally scathing towards *Destiny 2*, a game based around holding onto the Light.

doesn’t like fallout new Vegas because of the bug

He found it commendable that Disney gave the helm of the franchise to a director that has not done something so big before, and placed the blame for Rian's film at JJ Abrams' feet for being a mystery-baiter, as JJ didn’t have any ideas on how the story would continue, as opposed to Rian for continuing it the way he did. He believed that the movie stayed true to the themes of the originals because it aped scenes from the originals,

force powers were never explained, so powers that contradict the past are okay - thinks poe screwed everyone over - casino part isn’t long so its okay - comments on the pretty visual, which is rather shallow on its own, especially since with lot of money its possible - thinks porgs are worse than ewoks as they affect the plot, like minions. maybe they should affect the plot - all movies have had goofy lines, so they are okay here - cant love movie if it has corny lines, especially if you accuse one movie to have corny lines

mainly goes after easy targets - uses bottom of the barrel comments that have next to no likes to bolster his argument of people being overly angry and using stupid arguments - doesn’t know why he list criticism “didn’t have Wilhelm scream”, only did it because someone did say that - everyone gets hate, if you like something you are going to get hate, if you hate something, you are getting hate

hates prequels, but likes the last jedi and considers it “fun, lighthearted entertainment”

biased that he shows his friends positive reaction and no negative reaction - was there with 4 different people all liked the movie, two that don’t use social media so he found their reaction interesting. not the two others, fuck ‘em.

thinks that trying to objectively analyze is childish and condescending - asked proof for objective bad quality of last jedi - seemed to agree with them about the objectivity being a thing during their conversation - MauLer commented on the video

TRO proofread it

### Talk with MauLer and Wolf

Upon seeing I Hate Everything's video and how it argued that anybody who says a film can be judged objectively is condescending and childish, MauLer, figuring that that remark may very well have been in reference to him, left a comment on I Hate Everything's video, disagreeing overall while also saying he quite liked some of IHE's other videos and considers him a bit of an inspiration. I Hate Everything ended up DMing MauLer on Twitter, agreeing to have a call with him so that MauLer can attempt to convince him that art can actually be judged objectively. MauLer asked Wolf if he wanted to join the call (Rags was busy), and the three of them came together for a call that ended up lasting five hours and went very well. MauLer and Wolf managed to convince him of most of their arguments (one big exception being on the characterization of Luke), with IHE agreeing that a film can be judged objectively but that it would be case by case, to which MauLer and Wolf agreed. IHE stated that he regretted putting out that video in the state it was in and wished he had had that conversation before he uploaded it, because that conversation was the first time he had heard criticisms of *The Last Jedi* he considered valid.

Wolf had recorded the call between the three of them, only telling MauLer and IHE at the end of the conversation as he had thought nothing of it, and planned on uploading it as he thought it had gone well, but IHE asked him not to because he hadn't known it was being recorded. MauLer stood by that it not be uploaded as per IHE's wishes, saying he would only support uploading it if IHE ended up lying about what was said, which thankfully never happened.

### Sardonicast Episode

Shortly after his talk with MauLer and Wolf, I Hate Everything said on an episode of the Sardonicast that he still had not heard any good arguments against *The Last Jedi*, an odd comment to make given his previous agreements with MauLer and Wolf. MauLer asked IHE if that episode had perhaps been recorded before their conversation, to which IHE answered no, he had changed his mind because he was convinced by another video that had trumped what MauLer and Wolf had said to him. MauLer asked if he wanted to talk about it again in another call, but IHE told him that he was done talking about *Star Wars*.

### The Right Opinion

The Right Opinion ended up making a response to Rag's I Hate Everything video, which featured Quinton Reviews, on the grounds that since Rags used clips from MauLer's The Last Jedi review in his video it was only fair for him to have a guest of his own, one who was more familiar with Star Wars at that. Quinton had previously taken several jabs at MauLer, but had refused to actually engage with him, and seemed to be using TRO's video as an excuse to sneak in a hitpiece on MauLer without having to make a video of his own. MauLer, Rags, and Wolf found multiple issues littered throughout the video in EFAPs 8 and 9, but by far the most egregious were on Quinton's part - while TRO's section seemed to stem from honest misunderstandings, Quinton's seemed to be more malicious in nature.

MauLer ended up having a call with TRO before the dedicated EFAPs, and the two got along very well, with MauLer saying he'd even go so far as to call him a friend, but he saw it fit to cover TRO's video anyway simply to dispell various points that were made in the video publicly, and made TRO aware of this.

The Right Opinion came on to EFAP 10 to talk with MauLer and Rags about his video. The three talked very civilly and got along well, and capped off the stream by all responding to a Vox video together. MauLer and Rags thanked him for being big enough to come on, especially in a two-on-one conversation and especially when he had to talk for both himself and Quinton (who refused to come on), and both parties parted ways with no bad blood between them.

### The Good Ending

I Hate Everything released his review of *The Rise of Skywalker*, and made a jab at MauLer in the description. MauLer Tweeted in response to that jab, and IHE ended up removing it, and ended up having a call with MauLer, which the two of them agreed to have recorded and uploaded. MauLer and the gang looked at the call on EFAP 73, and it was also uploaded separately as an EFAP EU video.
