I remember my mom and my brother telling me not to watch and I was like, "It's just lego like Ninjago." But now as an adult, I'm thinking why tf did I watch this 😂
@@TheMamaluigi300[that isn't even actually pro-japan because it both infantilizes it and pretends it's the ubermensch of countries where the women are submissive and the men are cuckable]
Because it doesn’t. That’s a purely superficial and detracting way of pointing out how it represents the era it was made in, a factor that should never be considered an imperfection. All it really shows is how much less uptight people were back then and how they understood that these videos were meant to be satirical and mean-spirited.
finally someone else noticed the emotional whiplash of the forrestfire101 channel, the fucking duck song and the most deranged lego content possible in one place 🙏
I grew watching Forrest’s videos (which says a lot about me now) and it’s amazing seeing his animations evolve. They genuinely look like scenes from The LEGO Movie(whilst still keeping the same tone). Also, I’m just now realizing that this Batman is just the Postal Dude.
I remember watching this back was younger. He still makes videos with this batman too and has a horrific yet funny take on lego santa (he's a Vietnam vet that served with Batman, Bruce pulled him out of the fire).
Growing up watching these as a kid had me convinced Batman actually treated Robin and Alfred like this and that all these videos were canon to DC. I still come back and watch some of these videos cause they are entertaining
I always think that it's kind of crazy when I see that people thought this when they were kids As a kid, I always just thought in the back of my head that it's just a version
0:10 Under the red hood isn't shitty, only it's ending is, because Batman would rather throw a batarang into his son's neck than let his son kill the joker. The movie actually fixed it. Your other examples of bad ones are shit tho so I still agree Also I also grew up on these videos when I very much should not have, glad to see I'm not the only one
Oh my God, I remember stumbling across these on freaking Google+ back in the day, I had no idea where they came from and that they were from the duck song guy. It's 2 AM and my world has been shattered...
These videos are the perfect time capsule of 2008-2011 RU-vid. Also I’m 100% convinced the Lego Batman Movie borrowed the “I Just Died In Your Arms” joke from Forrest
I remember my parents thinking it was so wholesome me watching these videos as a kid, now as an adult they are so much funnier than I ever could’ve imagined 😂
Not going to lie this channel was an inspiration to me, I watched every single day when I was a kid, I was so inspired that I literally beg my parents to buy a Lego Batman sets, also made stop motion Lego videos when I was a kid.
I grew up on Forestfire101 that man was and still is a legend. Those Batman videos were amazing. I watched when I was little. Great video analyzing this version of Batman.
It has aged like fine wine. A masterpiece like Uwe Boll's postal. The only flaw was that it used Tim instead of Jason. 8:52 one all my all time favorite jokes from the series.
I remembered how much I loved this version of Batman. He truly is the superior Lego Batman. The pre 2010 world was so much better and more lenient on things. I remember when the R word was not a slur.
Hey dude, you’ve earned a sub! I was actually rewatching ForrestFire’s whole catalog like a month ago. Btw at 3:10 I always Interpreted the scene as Nightwing being the one who broke in, and the joke wasn’t Robin hallucinating, the joke was Batman loves Gaslighting Robin
The ONLY joke I remmebr from this series is when Batman was interviewing Boba Fett to be his new sidekick, and when Batman asked how fast his starship went Fett just said "like 2 miles per hour"
It was this: “I got guns, cannons, and you can access to my ship, The Slave I” “Great! So how many miles per gallon does it take?” “Uhh, three” “Get out”
I was exactly 3 years old, thats as far back as I remember having internet access. Lemme tell you I should not have been watching them but in a sense I’m glad I did, Love me some good ole Forrest Whaley
Another RU-vid channel that portrays Batman in a negative light is AubreyStudios82. In the series Batman is a homophobic and rude person who often abuses and mistreats many people mainly Robin and Alfred. He also misuses his power sometimes and like Forestfire101s version of Batman he had no problem with killing villains and he even enjoyed it. Although he does have some good qualities they are rarely shown.
Oh damn did this just unlock some memories... I used to watch a lot of this guy's Indiana Jones and Batman videos. Funnily enough, the child abuse trend continued with Indiana absolutely despising Mutt, just like Batman hates Robin. They got along pretty well, if I recall correctly.
I never took these seriously, and I didn't understand what the jokes were either. I was just like "Look at the lego Batman and Robin go on these adventures that are not what normal batman would do!". I still enjoy these videos every once in a while, and I turn off my brain to have some fun.
I like that basically all of us ended up watching this at way too young an age. I remember my mom grounded me from RU-vid for like a year after I watched one of these. Good times.
