THANK YOU CHUPPL

Thank you for finding a person who analyses barbie movies. I've been looking for this content for a decade. . . . I am a cis man.

oh my god this is a compliment of the highest honor@@GAMBANJUJJJ

So where did the name John Likeglass come from? In the video you talk about it apparently coming from the name of a villain in a Scooby episode which you said aired in 2017 but also didn't seem to exist anywhere either. So presumably the story of it being a Scooby villain name was just some story someone made up and put online but what's the real story?

Name idea: Tales from the Old Net

YEAH as cringe and overused this statement is they really felt like a buncha npcs in the whole thing ☠

@@V0IDFANGZyou talking about the phrase "the irony of it is..." being cringy?

@@robg8203 no, the term “npcs” to refer to people

​@@robg8203I think they are talking about reffering to people with the term "NPC" as overused and cringy since it has been used a lot over the past few months

:P

give a little respect to the people with weird cartoon fetishes

I mean, there's no way he didn't have a crush on Velma at some point in his life to have made something like this in the first place. But there's also nothing at all wrong with that -- I think it's awesome to have people like, be able to love and share their love of characters to whatever extent WITHOUT it becoming 'weird fetish stuff' & with the person not necessarily being 'weird' in any way

It really felt like the "good ending" 😄

Just a man who found his blorbo

This is the most wholesome end to an internet rabbit hole I have ever seen!!

I was trying to figure out why i was so touched by this video and i think this is it.

Going into this i thought this was going to be some type of Horror ARG or something

same lol @@arran4285

is it rare or does it go undiscussed?

@@azmilog Things that go undiscussed for long enough will eventually become rarities. So, yes, it would be accurate to call the Velma Dinkley ending rare.

We love the progress of all our stories in this! I appreciate it!! 🙏

😂😂Best comment on here😂😂

Oh yeah, the Scooby-Doo wiki once had an edit war over which contributors were allowed to upload images to the wiki, because certain editors felt the images some other editors were uploading were too "low quality". However the people with the "high quality" stuff... weren't actually interested in uploading replacements, just deleting what they didn't like.

Fandoms back then were not toxic or destructive, people could be passionate, abrasive, but never toxic or destructive. Only zoomers do that because they are fake-woke little children that were never taught manners or how to behave with others.

too bad the touhou community couldn't be like this.. it's all just porn, pe**s (censored because youtube might remove my comment otherwise), and creeps now.. and believe me, i'm sadly speaking from experience

Usually at the deepest depths of obsession's lies mental illness. And not just in online fandoms, one way to describe madness itself is unwavering obsession. And sadly those most "dedicated" often do so to their own detriment. This isn't to say obsession is some major flaw in the human psyche, no. There is a time and a place for healthy respect and care to be taken as with all things in life. But for the obsession to become the person, that is the true folly of the matter.

At the time of me posting this it's likely abundantly obvious that I am a Mega Man fan simply from looking at my pfp. I've never exactly been an avid member of the fanbase/community, but I find myself especially distanced from them recently due to how toxically jaded so many of them have become due to the lack of new original releases in such a long time. There's so many people in the community who aren't satisfied with just hating on Capcom and everything that they release that isn't exactly what they want, they take it so far as to actively bully and shame people who aren't doing the same. They act as if they think they're based gigachads and anyone who doesn't hold their views and especially anyone who still has optimism in them is submissive and compliant with abuse. They also accuse literally anything and everything Capcom does as being a scam, and sometimes even take that to ridiculous extremes such as some individuals recently ranting about Capcom being greedy because they didn't refund 100% of all money players spent on the original X DiVE before the servers shut down. There's still a bunch of people in the fanbase who aren't like them thankfully, most of them I've encountered being random online drifters who also aren't avidly involved in the community, but I just can't involve myself all that heavily with a community like that. Any fanbase/community that treats constant, blind hate towards the thing you're supposedly a fan of as a prerequisite for participation in the community has been poisoned and I want nothing to do with it. I see such communities as a place for people to share their mutual love for a franchise with each other, and the Mega Man community just isn't that.

Best comment. This went nowhere fast.

It's true

I totally thought this was gonna be some dark ARG or internet horror barely related to Scooby-Doo doo lol

Came expecting screams of horror. Left with tears of wholesomeness

@@ACDBunniesame

@@ACDBunnie nah fr especially with the whole body archeology shit 😭

This felt like the only loose thread in the video and I wish they'd come back to it. It was the most ominous note in the whole story for me, so I'm glad it didn't mean somebody had it out for him.

Yeah it was so obviously one of those crappy fanon wikis

Yeah I used to browse a few of those all the time. I’m more surprised their first clue wasn’t the fact it had fanon in the wiki name lol

@@helloofthebeachmaybe JD made the episode himself??😂(5% chance)

Throws a lot of people off too. Like for example everytime you googled the age of a Pokémon character, the engine used Azurilland Wiki as a source which was pure fanfiction, so even today non-fans keep getting wrong ideas all the time

People who are into writing can write entire novels worth of stuff they never even release. It's sometime one does instead of spending an evening binging a TV show. So it's not necessarily about "intense dedication" but rather finding a suitable outlet.

Yeah, definitely. I was heavy into Homestuck fandom from the start through to about the epilogues. The different waves of people coming and going in a fandom like that can really make or break the experience. I'm glad I got to experience the golden years of it.

I wish I was in the Homestuck Fandom at its peak. It seemed so fun.

@@voxicwaste despite my avatar I'm not really in it, but it's pretty chill now! depending on who you ask, less big and chaotic but probably more levelheaded

​@@Thatgreyslugcatno, they AGREED with the previously suggested title

I’m sorry I deleted the previous reply, I’ll word it differently, congratulations, you got the creator to agree with you!

@@Thatgreyslugcat you didnt have to do that. i was being nitpicky :( and now i feel bad 😭 im sorry if i hurt you even in the slightest

@@Electric-Kool-Aid I DIDNT KNOW I MADE YOU FEEL BAD 😭 IM SORRY.. (I accept your apology.)

I would like to read through your quantum research and personal projects. Where can I find these.

You mean geocities?

@@Mrturtlestomps neocities is a modern revival

@@Mrturtlestomps L

lol “quantum research”

I could have told Chuppl that. :p I used to hang out on Velma forums and it kind of came up several times. I actually watched this because of the fact I was familiar with the site.

Only within reason, characters are suppose to be believable people. People come and go. Insert new characters. If we took FF7 and reused all the characters as the ones in 8, then 9, then 10, then 12, then 13, then 15, and then 16 would you be happy or would you start to feel like they are doing it to cut costs while using nostalgia to do less? If I were to start spamming you once a year with a variation of this message. Sometimes friendly, other times insulting, would it be consistent as a person or just incredibly obnoxious? There is a balance to be had.

@@Buglin_Burger7878 Yeah. "reinventing" a character.... is usually a waste of time. You typically end up with something that's functionally a new character. why not just... do that? The Mindy Kaling "Velma"... was in fact that. The entire story was originally pure OC fiction. but she couldn't sell it so she rebranded it.

There's adapting a character to current times and then there's reinventing a character. Personally it all depends on how well it's done for me.

@@Gatorade69 Yeah, modernization is stuff like having Daphne carry her cellphone in her purse. OG Daphne didn't have a cellphone at all since they hadn't been invented yet IRL. But it makes sense for the character.

thanks for being here!

did we ever figure out what we going on with the 100 corpses he found or not 😂

😂😂😂😂

Agreed

Im fucking dying 😂

Yeah, I kind of agree.

Yeah, hearing he worked with some amazing bands I recognized was awesome. "Damn, he really got around back in the day."

Thank you so much friend! 🙏

Thank you for this because I was still wondering about this part haha

EXACTLY!!! You'd expect better from an internet archive sleuth, like maybe checking the website he's getting information from?!?

yeah that moment made me really think, "huh a lot of the appeal of this video is from the editing"

@@calebjoyal336 Wow, you're that naive? Making a documentary is all about the narrative you create. Most documentaries have completely false narratives. Like, if it's a sports documentary about team vs team big rivarly, chances are they were never even #1 and #2. There's a quote about how a documentary is written in the editing. Just enjoy it for what it is.

Thank you friend!! 🙏

The real tricky bit of that fanon page is if you look at the edit history the page was last edited in 2012, they predicted when john likeglass would vanish! Conspiracy? Clearly!

Never write a comment again please

Seem to me I read something years ago about something like that on Sanibel, when I was growing up in Florida. Some little history tidbit I sawr somewhere.

I'm just genuinely curious about that info too and I can't seem to find anything. Any specific search terms you used that manged to yield results?

Aww thank you friend 🙏

😂 exactly right!

Yes, lots of love and respect to that guy

Damn all the people who died didn’t want it enough I guess

You know im surprised people never talk more about these wikis, those exist for everything

Blows your head? Tf?

The narrator's voice alone... documentary-worthy

@@nicoledoubleyou I'm not a native English speaker. Is there something wrong?

@@user-vr3ex1fj7c It's not that far off but usually the expression would be "blows my mind" rather than head. It essentially means the same thing but just looks odd due to being slightly changed from the common expression so it isn't really an error just slightly off.

@@plugshirt1762 Thanks bud ;)

Ashton seems really cool too

Thank you so much friend! I appreciate your insights on the community! Sometimes I feel like I’m being harsh on it but whenever I try to go back it’s like no one wants me anymore, but they were great for the time I needed them

maybe that’s a whole other video
