Southpaw

**Southpaw**, full name **Blessed** **Southpaw**, is a YouTuber who started out as a person in the chat who had watched Mission Impossible: Fallout six times (he wasn't doubly not bored) and helped the crew with plot information that they forgot, making him an honorary EFAP member. In the next video he got the chance to be guest in the podcast.

## History

### vs JustWrite

EFAP 47 continued with a look at Just Write himself, in his video denouncing the idea that art could be judged objectively. In response to him calling the idea of deeming films good or bad "damaging" to film discussion, Southpaw brought up the hypothetical conversation brought up in the Just Write debate where someone who considers a film objectively good and someone who considers the same film objectively bad don't change each other's minds at the end of the conversation but come away from it having still learned something, finding it funny that that hypothetical had in a way predicted the recent debate with Renns Reviews on *Jurassic World*. Just Write's video went on to be a mishmash of out-of-context quotes from old philosophers on the qualities of art, prompting Theo to explain that what he had seen EFAP do was look at the qualities that *can* be measured with irregard to the things that are purely subjective

### The One-Year Anniversary of Pausing Every Frame

Southpaw joined in on Part 1 of EFAP 50 to watch Browntable's "Defending The Dark Knight Rises | Better Than You Remember," questioning why he was talking about this when *Joker* was coming out soon. Browntable fully admitted to the film's plot being layered with impossibilities, but considered them nitpicks because they did not impact the plot, which broke Southpaw to the point of shouting at the screen, culminating in a loud "FUCK YOU!" in response to him justifying it because Batman is Batman

### vs Seamus Gorman on *Toy Story 4*

S̸͙̮̀o̷͖͛ǔ̴̝̿t̵̛̰͓̃ḧ̵̟ͅp̵͉̂̔a̶̲̪͑w̴̰͑̓ (with a broken mic) joined MauLer, Rags, and Evan Monroe for EFAP 77 to look at two videos by Seamus Gorman defending *Toy Story 4*, a film Southpaw in particular was none too fond of. Seamus was amazed by how the film changed up the *Toy Story* formula, to which the gang brought up that it still follows the story of Woody getting separated from the rest of the cast, there being a toy who needs rescuing, and even had Buzz revert back to his *Toy Story 1* personality.

The roster then moved on to his next video, titled "All Toy Story 4 Criticisms ARE WRONG." which he began by chalking up all negative reviews of the film to simply hating it because it was popular. The first one he brought up he did not read, since it was behind a paywall, prompting Southpaw to ask if it not worth paying $4.50 to read a negative review for a video whose goal is to debunk all negative reviews. His methodology seemed to be to only look at vague blurbs saying the movie is bad, making it easy to conclude that the movie's detractors had no points to make. He next took a look at a review by Armond White, who he states is known for hating things just because they're popular, raising the question of why even look to him for a genuine review. Armond's review included the perjorative "Pixarnoids," leaving Southpaw and co baffled since they themselves had spent the stream saying "Disnoids," concluding that he was a prophet, as well as a spider. Seamus then took to Twitter to ask his audience to send him some criticisms on the movie, and Southpaw was at the ready with screenshots of one user's tweets since he had already covered this video previously. Southpaw brought up how he ignored the tweets about Buzz' lack of agency, Woody giving up on a kid after three days after having previously waited for Andy for ten years, and Bo Peep's motivations being nonsensical. Instead he focused on the argument that Ducky and Bunny spend the whole movie wanting to murder people, which he brushed off by saying it's called humor. When they brought up that Gabby Gabby tried to murder Woody and steal his voicebox, Seamus condescended that that was because she was a villain, despite having previously described her as not a villain. Seamus' conclusion that *Toy Story 4* was a perfect film, along with his methodology of only seeking out substanceless criticisms of the film, his glossing over any criticisms he couldn't counter, his disdain for anyone who disliked the movie, and his applauding of anyone who said anything celebratory of the franchise, aided by his collection of *Toy Story* merchandise adorning his room and a photo Southpaw had found of him dressed up as Snow White, cemented him as the Apex Disnoid

#### Mouthpaw

When covering a video by Devious Advocacy, the gang discovered that he looked like a shitty version of Southpaw, and deemed him **Mouthpaw**

### vs Twin Perfect on *Man of Steel*

Southpaw joined MauLer, Rags, Fringy, and Metal on EFAP 124 to take a look at Twin Perfect's video defending *Man of Steel*. When Twin Perfect corrected the complaint that Superman and Lois kissed right after a deadly battle to them kissing after Superman's first major victory, Southpaw further corrected that the two started kissing *while* the battle was ongoing and innocents were dying. When he argued that the destruction of property was meant to show what happens when someone with Superman's powers is put into an emotional state like the one he was in when his mother was threatened, Southpaw pointed out that if anything he put his mother in more danger by pummeling Zod while leaving his mother with the other Kryptonian soldiers

### vs Twin Perfect on *Batman V Superman*

Unbeknownst to MauLer and the gang, Twin Perfect had appeared in chat during their coverage of Filmento in EFAP 123. and took their lack of acknowledgment of him combined with their coverage of his video being recorded offline as a sign that they did not want to talk to him, and therefore were cowardly. He laid out his policy that he says what he believes and others can criticize him all they want, though he still scoffed at EFAP not speaking to him despite not knowing he was even available to speak to, and ultimately boasted that it didn't matter because his video got a lot of views. Curiously, a fan of Twin Perfect held up someone in Chat laughing at the idea of *Man of Steel* being better than *Civil War* as proof of them being unreasonable. With Twin Perfect's response out of the way, EFAP 127 continued with MauLer, Rags, Fringy, Cap, Southpaw, and Theo taking a look at his .defense for *Batman V Superman.* At one point hect boldly proclaimed that no one in the movie accused Superman of *shooting* anyone, which literally nobody disagreed with, then went on that nobody even knew the cause of deathto which h Southpaw adding that the CIA was incriminated in the shooting as well, and therefore would be incentivized to investigate if only to prove their own innocen. Halfway through their coverage of the video, Twin Perfectce

At this point, the man himself entered the Chat, though he declined to join the call on the grounds his video spoke for itself, to which MauLer began highlighting the word "uncowardly" in Twin Perfect's own statement of policy. At the behest of Southpaw, Chat began pressing C for coward. Fringy reminded him that he had previously assumed the last EFAP had been prerecorded to avoid a conversation, but now that they were live, he was available, and they wanted him on, he was suddenly unwilling to talk.When Twin Perfect claimed he had no interest in talking to people who were calling him pathetic, MauLer reminded him yet again that he had called them cowardly. Eventually, Twin Perfect went through with joining the call, and thus began...
