MauLer, Rags, Fringy, Metal, Theo, and MarcTheCyborg first encountered Synthetic Man on EFAP 217, where they took a look at his takes on *God of War Ragnarok*. MauLer initially checked out Synthetic Man's main video on it as it had been recommended as one of the bigger negative reviews of the game, but ended up going down a rabbithole of takes that included the main review, a response by a YouTuber named ZeroNeedsCoffee, Synthetic Man's followup video addressing such responses, and Synthetic Man's streams playing the game itself, which MauLer compiled into a supercut for the roster to watch. This supercut began with a spattering of clips to set the tone, including one of Synthetic Man telling people not to harass those he covers not because it would be wrong, but because it would get him in trouble, and another clip of him encouraging people to dislike-bomb ZeroNeedsCoffee's video. Synthetic Man also commented that Zero using a picture of the gender-swapped male version of Marceline from *Adventure Time* did not help his case, and flexed his own biceps to prove himself more masculine. Synthetic Man also made a point of showing off his George Orwell quote shirt, because the most important thing to him is telling the truth. He described most of the game as hidden loading screens, and when Zero criticized him for the example he used having crucial dialogue that he was ignoring, Synth laughed off the idea that the dialogue could be emotional because it happened while rowing a boat. He accused Zero of being woke, and when a commenter informed him that Zero tends to make fun of woke things, he refused to believe it, arguing that no right-winger could possibly like *Ragnarok* because it is "disgustingly woke."

Synthetic Man criticized Kratos "mysteriously" losing his gear and magical abilities from the previous game, then called a commenter arrogant for explaining the reason to him because he already knew the reason and was really just criticizing it happening at all, but a look at his stream showed his original criticism was that he wanted an explanation for it. He argued not keeping abilities from the previous game made it feel more like an expansion than a sequel, and Fringy pushed back that the opposite tends to be the case, with expansions keeping upgrades from the main game and sequels starting fresh. Synth said his suspension of disbelief was ruined by being unable to block attacks from random fire skeleton enemies, and was thankfully consistent with that critique for other games, but this did raise the question of what a realistic power level would be for a magically animated skeleton, though Synth appealed to his own superior gamer knowledge and argued that Kratos should kill enemies in one hit like he did in previous games, seemingly forgetting that enemies in the original games could take plenty of hits and any regular enemy could kill Kratos. Synth further expressed that he wanted Kratos to go back to how he was originally, apaprently forgetting that that led to the ruination of the entire world and Kratos killing himself, arguing that the old Kratos never needed to gather an army to help him and just got things done by himself,,, by gathering an army of Titans.

Synthetic Man argued the first berserker fight had way too much health for a mandatory fight, and when he was corrected that it was not mandatory, he argued that it didn't matter whether or not it was mandatory. He disliked how a game praised for enemy diversity reused many enemy types from the last game, and when Zero countered that it was the same world, he dismissed that as a meta argument, when appealing to the world the game exists in is literally the opposite. He added that the previous games didn't reuse enemy types (they did), all over footage of him playing *Dead Space 2*, a game that reused enemy types, made even more ironic by his assertion that he has no respect for anyone who plays modern games. He claimed the game had basically no gore in it, cutting the clip of a wolf being killed that he used as an example right before the part where it got gory. On stream, he showed very little engagement in the gameplay mechanics, complaining about the lack of combat abilities without using the huge amount of XP he had accumulated to gain more. He argued the game's hard mode, named "Give Me No Mercy," shouldn't actually be hard because there is a harder difficulty, and most games these days make their hard mode more like a normal mode. Rags predicted that once he realized he could use XP to upgrade his abilities, he would upgrade everything at once and go from complaining the combat is too hard to too easy, and that very thing happened. Synth mocked the idea that his own failing could be a skill issue, but eventually he improved his skills and began to grasp the mechanics, making the roster slightly proud of him, but MauLer and Fringy still held that he had played through so much of the game not as intended that he needed to start the playthrough over to have an accurate view of what the gameplay is like, with Fringy likening it to seeing Dean Takahashi being unable to complete the tutorial level of *Cuphead* informing his take on the game. Believing he had talked about the combat thoroughly, Synth moved on to the puzzles, which he called either too easy or too hard as a result of "missing something obvious," but his stream showed him forgetting every relevant game mechanic, blaming his failings on the game being bugged, and working so counterintuitively that he solved it in an unintentional way, leading MarcTheCyborg to say that he'll have to change the script for his review because he originally said each puzzle had only one solution. Synth complained that there were too many puzzles and them being optional didn't change that because he wasn't going to turn down the loot, to which Marc retorted that you might call that player choice. He bemoaned the backseat gaming from the NPCs, which everybody agreed was an issue but found ironic that Synthetic Man was making that complaint since he seemed to be the one person who actually needed his hand held that much.

Synthetic Man segued into the story by claiming the game was 70% cutscenes, a claim he did not back up. He questioned why Atreus was given a romantic interest but showed no sexual feelings towards her, and when it was brought up that the two of them are both fairly young he argued that there were no age of consent laws in ancient Norse times and the two of them have a duty to repopulate their species. Synth called Fenrir dying at the beginning of the game a "Rian Johnson subversion," the first of many times he would apply such a term. He bemoaned Odin looking old and frail, but when he was told Odin is meant to look that way he agreed, and claimed his real point was a more general one about the Norse gods looking like rednecks, which baffled resident redneck expert Rags as the rednecks he knows look nothing like that. Upon seeing Zero compare Thor to a photo of a strongman, Synth called him retarded because the two did not look identical, to which MauLer countered that Thor doesn't have to have literally the same build as a real life champion strongman, just look roughly like someone who could have been in that ballpark when he was in his prime. Synth elaborated that he felt the gods should be portrayed as idealistic and unattainable, an odd comment from someone who had previously described Freya as a Mary Sue for being too competent. He brought up how some people thought Odin was meant to be an allegory for Donald Trump, but he would give the game the benefit of the doubt and assume not. A look at his stream, however, showed that he did think Odin was meant to be Trump, even figuring that was the reason the game was unfairly portraying him in a negative light when he was such a nice guy, apparently having genuinely fallen for Odin's deceptions in real life. Synth concluded that the redneck pantheon was meant to convey the message of "white people bad," another Rian Johnson subversion. Also a Rian Johnson subversion, he argued, was that the Norse god of war turns out to not want war, though he walked that back immediately by conceding it ended up being "slightly justified," apparently considering him being an entirely different guy to only be a "slight" justification. Synth figured that it was still a spit in the face given how Tyr was hyped up by the previous game, forgetting that he had been hyped up as a diplomat and not a warmonger. When presented with the idea that both sides of a war may be morally gray, he segued into talking about Ukraine not being the good guys in their conflict with Russia, for some reason. He also regularly mocked the idea of listening to the game's dialogue, calling people who wanted him to "part of the problem," as well as wishing that engaging with world was optional. Rags wondered aloud why he even bothered playing the game, and MauLer answered that he said he bought it just to review it, contrasting against his own playthrough of *The Last of Us Part II* he did for the same reason but still paid attention to the story for.

Moving on to the characters, Synthetic Man described Kratos as cartoonishly overprotective for not wanting his son to have to fight in a war. He wondered aloud if Sindri, whom MauLer pointed out was ironically the one character in the game with an aversion to touching people, was a pedophilic groomer or had been written by pedophiles because he was friends with Atreus, describing him as "gayer than ever." He once again demanded Atreus repopulate his species, and Rags found it curious that when Atreus spent time with Atreus he considered it pedophilic but when a female character spent time with Atreus the complaint was that they needed to have more sex, age be damned. Synth described Kratos as emasculated for not beating his son, to which Marc countered Kratos' biggest demon throughout the games is the memory of having killed his first family. He described Angrboda as the "token black character" of the game, asserting that she added nothing to the story and the fight against her grandmother made no sense. When a comment explained the premise of her grandmother's character, Synth retorted that they were brushing over the "woke cringe factor" of it, which was his real point. He called the game a spit in the face to anyone who cared about Norse mythology, but forgot basic information like what characters were the gods of and that Freya was established to be the queen of the Valkyries, calling the people who corrected him on that sad for even remembering so. He lamented Kratos almost being killed by "Odin's crackhead ex-wife," ignoring that Kratos did not want to kill her, and longed for Kratos to be a Gary Stu like he used to be, despite having previously decried Freya for being a Mary Sue, and despite neither of those characters actually being those things. He viewed the game as villainizing Kratos at every chance while portraying Freya as always right, apparently unaware of the numerous descriptions of the self-destructive ways she treated her loved ones. He described the team comprised of some white people, elves, and dwarves as "the Diversity Squad" and counted them as useless to the plot, forgetting they gathered the armies to fight Odin. Synth was disappointed that the "pussy-ass writers" did not have Kratos slap Atreus like many parents would, in contrast with his praise of Heimdall as the "only based character" because he beats Atreus and insults him for being biracial. He seemed not to hear Based Heimdall's explanation for Asgard looking so modest because real power need not flaunt itself, because he considered ZeroNeedsCoffee to be "soulless" for finding Asgard beautiful. Synth was annoyed that Sif, an adult, was bigger than Atreus, a teenager, and curiously used a clip where Atreus seemed to be the taller one. He refused to believe Kratos would simply talk to Odin rather than attack him, arguing one of Kratos' biggest flaws is his tendency to lash out and so not doing so made him a pussy, to which Fringy asked how not giving into your flaws is a pussy move. When a commenter pointed out attacking Odin would put his son in danger, Synth changed his criticism to be that the scenario should not have happened in the first place, leading Marc to recall that some of the most famous in both *Heat* and *The Dark Knight* involve the protagonists and antagonists just talking to each other.

Synthetic Man owned up to the fact that his reviews will contain factual inaccuracies but chalked it up to him existing between the two extremes of vague, short-form reviewers who comment on hot topics in the moment and longer video essayists who spend months organizing their videos, which MauLer summarized as being the worst of both worlds. Worse so, Synth added that he would never change his methodology because he considered YouTube content disposable. Fringy asked about the George Orwell quote on his shirt while MauLer recalled Denims asking what it means to take pride in one's work, and Marc contrasted against his own experience of making weekly content for Geeks + Gamers but switching to longer scripted content because it better fit what he had a passion for. Synth continued to express the idea that he was the only truthful voice on the platform, surrounded by people who were less so.

Synthetic Man believed that Odin questioning if Atreus was Kratos' son was him calling Kratos a cuck, missing that the joke he was making was that there was no way the positive traits Atreus had could have come from Atreus, with MauLer adding that even if the joke was literally true, adopting a child and raising them right when someone else could not isn't cuckoldry. He described a scene of Kratos not shedding any tears as Kratos crying onscreen, wondering why he was supposed to feel sad about his murdered family, and similarly figured that only NPCs would care about Brok's death. When he was corrected by a commenter for believing a shapeshifting boar had been killed when he had actually been saved in the first game, he once again mocked the idea of remembering that info and chastised the commenter for not addressing his main point that the boar turned into a black guy. He described Atreus turning into a bear as climbing "another tier on the Gay Scale," but did retract his accusation of SIndri being a gay pedophile on the grounds he had become based. Having previously described Angrboda as doing nothing to help the plot, Synth cut out the clip of her aiding the cast's escape when he claimed they escaped offscreen.

While taking a look at Synthetic Man's streams, MauLer stumbled across several references to himself, claiming "the King of EFAP" was a grifter for thinking the game is good. He put forth that you can judge someone by their choice of friends, and MauLer surrounded himself with degenerates who had "obvious flaws," adding that if he were on EFAP he would call Rags words that would get him banned. He described EFAP as going downhill after Wolf left, and figued MauLer was just lazily collecting algorithm money from streaming, an odd criticism from someone who admitted to not being able to put in the time to edit clips from his own streams, and figured they were only good at covering movies because games are only about enjoyment, which is subjective, and games can't be judged objectively, in contrast with him describing enemies as "objectively poorly designed." Also in contrast to his claim that games were purely subjective was his claim that everyone who liked this game was a sellout, even encouraging his audience to seek out those who gave it a 10/10 and do thing he couldn't say out of fear of being banned, which was itself in contrast to his own admission that he promoted *Raid Shadow Legends* because they paid him a lot of money to do so. Other creators he commented on were GmanLives, whom he would not even share the W with when a fan of his complimented the two of them, Act Man, whom he considered to have become a leftist cuck, Critical Drinker, whose content he considered halfassed and only popular because children like his accent, and Dev, who he considered lazy for making content that was mostly scripted. Synth recounted how he used to be subscribed to 400 people, but had whittled it down to 40 because he felt the rest did not call out wokeness enough. Another clip showed him complaining that his mother was making him pass out Halloween candy to kids, which had to do since he lives with his mother. The 27-year-old who lives with his mother described fans of *God of War Ragnarok* as being lifeless Marvel fans with no real achievements, and felt the need to inform them that anti-natalism is bad. He called ZeroNeedsCoffee accusing him of going into the game disliking it the ultimate leftist cope, despite having regularly having mocked the idea of caring about the story. He mocked the game having the perceived message of not to kill others, refusing to believe that leftists would actually support that. Finally, he called people who criticized him parasites for attacking his video he worked hard on, considering himself infallible and undefeated.

Chat expressed that they were "waiting for him to pull a Kanye," and pull a Kanye he did. He interpreted Kratos trusting Atreus as an allegory for trusting teenagers to make decisions like cutting off their genitals, and provided his theory that those who are into cuckolding are secretly gay. He wrote off four of the game's writers as diversity hires simply because they were women, and felt he could tell which scenes were written by women based on the quality. He considered diving deeper into the topic of women, whom he connected to the cause of his own life circumstances, but decided it would be going too far. He also described interest in a hypothetical scenario where Atreus breeds with Angrboda, kills all the sons, breeds with the daughters, and repeated with the grandchildren, to make each generation progressively whiter. He also regularly wished that he could talk more about a group he described as "them," at one point referring to them as "small-hats" who make up 2% of the population and control a significant amount of the media and government. He took issue with people like Drinker for not similarly taking issue with said group. Worst of all, he called other right-wingers cowardly for not starting an uprising, specifying that his call to take up arms was a literal one.

#### Smudboy Comes to the Defense

> "What a shame, Rags. What a sham."

Smudboy, of EFAP 13 fame, took issue with the coverage of Synthetic Man's review, uploading his own video asserting EFAP had lost all credibility. The video was comprised entirely of clips from EFAP 217 prefaced by title cards describing them negatively. In MauLer's Discord, smud defended Synthetic Man on the basis he had actually played the games, unlike Rags, who had only watched MauLer stream them.

Smudboy did not watch EFAP 217. He got someone else to do it for him.

### On the Hit-ness of the Piece

Before reading Superchats for 217 on an EFAP Mini, MauLer, Rags, and Fringy checked out the end of a newer Synthetic Man video where he took some time to talk about how "for whatever reason" a podcast that looks at media takes would take a look at his media take. He took no issue with people picking apart his reviews since he could do the same, raising the question of why he doesn't do so when editing his videos, but he was baffled by MauLer having watched 20 hours of his streams, to which Fringy argued that surely he would have expected his own audience would have watched those 20 hours as well, and he himself played *Ragnarok* for a similarly long time. Synth wondered why they didn't just do a normal EFAP on his video rather than look at his stream, apparently unaware that looking at streams is nothing new for normal EFAPs. He laughed off the idea of responding to the stream, in his response to the stream, and said this would be the last he'd ever mention it, which remains to be seen. Throughout his video he included comments from fans of his agreeing with him, including one from a commenter who had been in Chat defending him throughout the entire EFAP stream saying MauLer painted him as a racist, and MauLer clarified there was no painting he needed to do since Synthetic Man's own words already did so.

* "I didn't explain all my points in the video all that well, and there is a reason for that. The way I make video game reviews is different from most other people. There are generally two types on YouTube - there are the mainstream reviewers that give very vague praises and criticisms toward the game, they're typically the ones that get review codes and then release their videos as soon as the embargo is up to maximize views. I'm sure all of you can picture at least one person on this platform that's like this. And then there's the other end of the spectrum - the Joseph Andersons or MatthewMatosis or maybe HBomberguy or... something, who will spend a month working on a video, writing the script, making sure it's airtight, having all their points organized and together, and these videos are usually over two hours long. Now I am somewhere in the middle. My videos are much longer than the vague mainstream reviewers, but they're also shorter and far less organized than the video essay YouTubers, right?"
"What you're saying is you're the worst of both worlds. You're vague, and inaccurate, and long."
- Synthetic Man and MauLer
* "And I'm not saying this to say that you can't point out factual inaccuracies, you certainly can. Just know I'm never going to change how I make my content because I don't care enough about YouTube videos to write this massive airtight script for something people are gonna forget in a week anyway. Because that's the fact most content creators don't wanna accept, is that YouTube content is extremely disposable, and that's how I've always treated it"
* "Genuinely enjoy your stuff man, keep being real. You're the rare exception in an ocean of mediocrity" - comment on Synthetic Man's stream
* "Being the one real gaming critic is, it's not good guys, it's not good. Everyone's against me"

* "No one cared about Brok that much... NPCs maybe but not like real humans"
* "He's upgraded from a wolf to a bear! He's climbed another tier on the Gay Scale!"
* "I take back everything I said about him being a possible pedophile. As soon as his brother dies he actually becomes the only other based character in the game"
* "'Iron Giant did it better.' Well yeah, that's because Iron Giant sacrificed himself, Kratos is still alive."
"Also, Iron Giant survived"
"Shut up. Shut the fuck up! Let him have one victory will you!"
- Synthetic Man, Fringy, and MauLer

* "MauLer liked this, yeah... *remember that*"
* "The lack of level design is so obvious"
"The lack of level design, there *is* level design"

"Hey it's me, whoopee! Yeah boy!"
- Synthetic Man and Rags
* "If I'm ever on EFAP, it's not gonna go well, it's not gonna go well at all. I'm just gonna insult all of them and get banned. I know exactly what I'm gonna call Rags, which is gonna get me banned."

* "That little clip of him saying, 'You never know who's watching.' Unfortunately for him it was me."
"Oh my goodness. MauLer's autism has taken him to new heights."
- MauLer and Rags

	+ "These enemies are shitty as fuck. These enemies are just, they're objectively poorly designed"
* "You have to keep in mind, I thought *Raid Shadow Legends* was one the less bad ones. That's why I took that one, on top of them paying a lot"
* "'When will you and Act Man collab?' Uh, probably never, cuz at some point he became a leftist cuck"
* "'I thought Gman was an Australian Chad.' No. He's definitely not a Chad, he's Australian"
* "Critical Drinker is extremely successful, and a lot of his videos are halfassed, so- I mean my videos are halfassed too, but like some of his shit is just like completely pointless. I just think kids like his accent, to be honest. I don't think he's bad, at all, like I think his channel's fine. Again, he's a MauLerite"
