just scrubbing through the video and hooooooooo boy this series has not aged well at all. it's early 2000s male nerd psychosis crystallized at the barest dawn of its cultural dominance. it's a showcase of bad tropes and mean caricatures that read today like a fever dream premonition of zack snyder's justice league and the rise of the marvel movie.
so much early 2000s nerd media is like this, desperately clawing for recognition just a few years before its ilk would take over the fucking world
i will say, the low resolution helps the sets and costumes A LOT. if this were shot today even on 1080p cameras it'd look SO much more cheap. which is probably why you don't see this kind of thing so much anymore? i feel like this brand of high-effort parody was a lot more common in the early 2000s
someone should try to do something like this again, but either shoot on an early digital camera or shoot towards rendering at 480p
@sarahzedig honestly, not the WORST
@irisjaycomics the weird part is that they're like. russian gangsters
@sarahzedig …okay. yeah sounds bad
[marlon brando voice] look what they've done to my boy
