Appabend

***Appab*end** is a YouTuber who makes media reviews, primarily about video games and anime. He was the first guest to appear on the EFAP Podcast, other than Rags.

## History

### vs Patrick Willems

Having previously been told that 25-year-old white dudes wouldn't have much to say about certain movies, MauLer and Wolf sought counsel with Appabend, who had previously done his own response to Patrick's plot holes video, to have another go at a Patrick Willems video in EFAP 4, thus gaining him the title of **The Brown Knight** (though this may not have been necessary since *Star Wars* still has plenty of white people in it to criticize). This time around, Patrick set out to explain why *The Last Jedi* was a great movie, apparently not having done so enough in his previous videos. When Patrick listed all of the things he liked about the movie, Appabend noted they were all tiny and inconsequential, though he did defend Patrick feeling the need to remind people that *Star Wars* always had weird things in it, because there was actually one reviewer who said *The Last Jedi* was bad because of "weird shit" in it - Jared. Regardless, he described Jared's review as making more sense, and even began to wonder if Patrick's was a parody, though it was unlikely since Rian Johnson himself had shared it and praised it. When Patrick praised the theme of "failure is the greatest teacher," Appabend questioned how it applied to Rey since she never fails, and MauLer answered that people argue believing in Kylo was a failing, making her biggest flaw being too nice.

Appabend was in chat during EFAP 12, and was dragged into the call because he was the only one among them who knew anything about *Sword Art Online*, which he called the *Call of Duty* of anime. He had about twenty minutes to spend, as he had a stream starting later that day. As it would turn out, he wasn't really needed for the SAO discussion, because all the video mentioned about it was that people liked a parody of it, though he was able to provide his opinion on seasons 1 and 2 of *Psycho-Pass*. Once he saw that the portion of the video talking about anime had ended, he left to begin his own stream.

### The Two-Year Anniversary of Pausing Every Frame - A Long-Awaited Return

Appabend returned after 70 episodes of absence for the first part of the celebratory EFAP 100, and commented on how despite barely being on the show, he was still featured prominently in various art pieces and memes based around EFAP, to which Rags and MauLer commented he must have left an impression on people.
