Him sticking with AT4W is fair enough…as long as he understands how limiting it is and doesn’t complain about income from it. Like with the Nostalgia Critic, the premise alone is quite limiting (though not as limiting as
misguided nostalgia), as it’s all about bad comics and nothing else…which would be fine if the comics industry
wasn’t imploding.
As pointed out on Kiwifarms, him restricting himself to just reviewing bad comics as his main draw definitely hurts his ability to both grow as a creator and the audience he has will dwindle as a result. His view numbers during the height of TGWTG weren’t great at all, and in hindsight it’s easy to see why
Inked Reality wasn’t spun off like
Blistered Thumbs was, as Linkara was basically the Doug of bad comic reviews.
Him being the Doug of bad comic reviews in-and-of-itself is not a bad thing mind you, but it does mean that his main show can come off as a bit of a relic of the internet of yore. I’ve enjoyed some of his AT4W videos, despite not being into comics, and have enjoyed the stuff he’s made when he branches out…which is what I’m getting at: he
can do good stuff outside of AT4W, thus him sticking to it as his main show isn’t that necessary as it used to be. SF Debris’ main videos are his Trek reviews, but even these days he only releases them three Saturdays a month, with him switching out for the myriad of other sci-fi things he reviews on the remaining Saturdays.
As for the aforementioned “other stuff,” most Kiwifarmers infer that to mean media related to comics like television and movie adaptions, and talking about or reviewing the changes and what they brought over from them in the adaptions. It’s not like it’s unfamiliar territory for him, since he reviewed that Justice League pilot with Nash that I saw on the movie channels when I lived in Aus, and it’s one of my favourite videos from him.
Overall, the general criticism of him is that he’s too locked into the old ways of doing things, and gets all bitchy whenever people suggest he mix things up a bit.
