So... Jenny Nicholson a Web Video creator, once known for heading Friendship is Witchcraft, then running her own YouTube channel. After posting infrequent miscellaneous videos from as early as 2011, she started gaining traction around 2016 after she began making videos talking about mainstream film and TV show franchises, such as The Avengers, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and Star Wars, all with a unique sense of deadpan humor and often with her cosplaying as a character in whatever the video is about.Her videos vary on whatever she feels like doing, with her subjects and style alternating frequently. In addition to directly discussing films or shows — either recent ones she just saw or older ones she has a deeper thinkpiece on — she also does skits as characters acting out humorous takes of their respective works, riffs on fanfiction or other obscure literature, and more.See the channel here. Her Patreon can be found here.

The Unsolved Mystery
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_1181a575
comment
The Unsolved Mystery: "WHERE’S BUZZY? Disney World’s Stolen Animatronic" has her detail the history and mysterious disappearance of the titular animatronic, going over the various theories of how it could've just disappeared and where it might be. Just about every one of them, even the Occam's Razor route that Disney quietly archived him have significant holes in them, making his absence all the more mysterious. As of mid-2020, several holes have since been filled, largely a synthesis of Jenny's various theories. Several of Buzzy's clothes were indeed stolen by a former Disney employee, but the thief claims didn't even attempt to take the actual animatronic. However, Buzzy's current location still remains unidentified, with Disney saying nothing to confirm or deny whether or not he was archived.

Perverse Sexual Lust
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_16417501
comment
Perverse Sexual Lust: Discussed and deconstructed in a portion of "The Last Bronycon: a fandom autopsy", examining the odd phenomenon of bronies who became demonstrably attracted sexually to ponies, highlighting how it originated in a means parallel to the formulation of brony fandom in general (the speculated impetus being 4chan users doing it "ironically"). Jenny holds back on deriding this phenomenon, but she expresses concern of its visibility relative to children that are the show's primary demographic (not helped by how the sexualization extends to underage ponies), as well as the somewhat misogynist implications to be derived from adult male fans sexually pursuing non-sexualized female characters.

The Chris Carter Effect
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_16a994e9
comment
Discussed in "THE Vampire Diaries Video". She says that the series could have had a solid five seasons of content if that had been the set amount from the start (not seasons 1-5 as they are, just five seasons in general). But, because the run time was instead "as long as it keeps making enough money to justify renewal", invokedno plot point was ever fully resolved (leading to previously satisfying conclusions being undermined), and there were pointless, weak arcs and villains because the writers didn't have enough good ideas, leading to worse seasons over time.

Redemption Quest

comment
Redemption Quest: Regularly discussed as it pertains to Kylo Ren, almost to the point of a Running Gag. In many instances, including a dedicated video, Jenny made the case that he would undergo one of these in The Rise of Skywalker, believing it to be thematically important for the trilogy. She was correct, but like much of that film, she was unimpressed with the execution.

Obscure Popularityinvoked: During her review of Pandora – The World of Avatar, Jenny repeatingly mentions the flash-in-the-pan relevance of Avatar and the subsequent consequences of making a theme park based on it. Despite admiring the park for the most part, she notes that the disconnect audiences have with Avatar — aware of it, but otherwise unengaged with it — may end up costing the park greatly as it ages and feels even less relevant over time.

The Problem with Licensed Games
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_1c0718c5
comment
The Problem with Licensed Gamesinvoked: In a couple of instances of covering a work, Jenny also made the effort to make fun of any licensed games made about them. In her video on Beastly, she comments on its Wii game specifically to highlight its use of scenes from the movie overdubbed with its in-game stock music, making them much funnier than in their original context. During her video on The Vampire Diaries, she examined the 1996 point-and-click adventure game and her failed attempt to complete it due to how padded and needlessly obtuseinvoked it was. Even when she caved and searched up a walkthrough, a Game-Breaking Bug softlocked her and forced her to simply look up its ending on YouTube.

The Stoic: Jenny (mostly) plays this persona up in her talking-to-the-camera videos, coupled with Deadpan Snarker and Dull Surprise. Her videos are generally quite low-key, which makes it even funnier when she actually cracks a joke. Extremely averted in the video of her going with friends on a road trip to a Target in San Diego to pick up a giant porg that she's bought, in which she's almost squeeing with excitement. When she finally gets it, it's almost as large as she is.

Servant Race: She discusses the ethics surrounding this trope in her video on Solo. Her stance is that it's ultimately okay and dismissableinvoked if the servitude is consensual (using house elves from Harry Potter as a mostly positive example), but she finds the existence of L3 in Solo and her gimmick as a pro-droid rights Soapbox Sadie paired with the film's prominent anti-slavery moral as raising all sorts of Fridge Horror on the autonomy and treatment of service droids throughout the entire Star Wars franchise, not helped by the fact that she herself is effectively a slave to one of the protagonists and her spiel is dismissively Played for Laughs.

Cool, but Inefficient: She has a good time pointing out the holes in the plot of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom relating to this trope. In particular, their attempt to weaponize the Indoraptor, which she points out seems to be on about the same scale as a rifle (it involves pointing a large gun-like contraption at the target at fairly short range as it makes a loud noise) but you have to carry around a crazed genetically-engineered predator.

Clueless Aesop
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_2d8da79
comment
Clueless Aesop: She repeatedly slams the reality show Opposite Worlds for trying to frame itself as a scientific study based around a "Cavemen vs. Astronauts" Debate. This fundamentally broke down since not only are the "past" and "future" represented in a very shallow way (for one, they couldn't exactly depict the future that wasn't just a high-tech present), the "past" team lived in utter squalor objectively worse than the "future" team, and nearly all challenges were obstacle courses which could only be won by those in top physical condition, resulting in both an unfairly unstable competition and a completely moot experiment. She spends a portion of her video on Beastly discussing how the "beast's" flaw he's being punished for is vanity rather than cruel snobbery, which is irrelevant to his arc of becoming a kinder personnote This is incidentally in sharp contrast to the original novel, where Kyle really is a cruel snob. She also points out a scene where the blind tutor gives him An Aesop about accepting himself through his looks, except Kyle never properly does, effectively snapping the aesop in half. She also discusses this in terms of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, believing the film's attempt to tackle topics like fascism and the Holocaust to be poorly placed in a film about magical wizards. Worse, she notes that the track the film eventually takes (the Holocaust happened in the Harry Potter universe because stopping it was the objective of the villain) ends up making the characters unlikable. In "A needlessly thorough roast of Dear Evan Hansen (2021)", Jenny concludes this as being a big problem of the film and the original Broadway musical, that while it's about heavy topics like mental health, grief, and suicide (which she believes is the reason the musical won so many Tony awards), it doesn't have any willingness to engage with such topics on a moral level, leaving it thematically confused in a way where characters (and thus, the audience) ultimately learn very little and don't change.

She also has several sections on the show's poor handling of race, such as complete lack of critical engagement with Mystic Falls's slaveholding past (like how it might make Bonnie feel to have all these holidays celebrating people who owned her ancestors); the Travelers, who are shown as a Mage Species packed with anti-Romani stereotypes; and how Bonnie was blatantly dis-favored by the writers.

Girl-Show Ghetto
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_2f730609
comment
Girl-Show Ghettoinvoked: Jenny satirized this in "Ready Player One for Girls", essentially showcasing the book had its Reference Overdosed nature be "translated for girls," referencing a ton of media that itself falls victim to this and are present on the trope's page. invokedShe also addresses this in her video on Star Wars: Forces of Destiny in regards to both the internet's general reaction to it, as well as the lack of creative thought that went into it as a toyline. In "The Last Bronycon: a fandom autopsy", Jenny discusses at length the strange fandom dissonance at play regarding My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, a show that was largely intended for little girls and their parents, but ended up finding an equally massive (if not even larger) audience with broniesinvoked. Jenny found that later seasons of the show suffered from pandering towards this demographic, part of which led to a significant influx of adult male fans feeling they were "entitled" to the show and prone to gatekeeping. This in turn led to animosity against actual longtime female fans, trying to pull the "you're not a 'true' fan" and "you only became fans after it was cool" cards and splintering the fandom even further. At the conclusion of "THE Vampire Diaries Video", Jenny laments how in the face of the series' many legitimate ups and downs, a vast bulk of critical discussion surrounding the show is rarely interested in them, in large part because they're by people who themselves have no interest in a romance series targeted to teenage girls beyond making fun of it.

Moustache de Plume: The second half of Jenny's review of Trigger Warning investigates how the book's co-author, J.A. Johnstone, has gone to great lengths to obfuscate the fact that she's a woman, scrupulously avoiding gendered words in all of her biographies. This is presumably because her subjects are intended to appeal to men. She also hides the fact that her co-author, William W. Johnstone, has been dead for over a decade, and she's been slapping his name onto her books for her whole career.

Lethal Chef: In her video on the Hallmark movie YouTube channel, Jenny points out that their first Halloween cocktail "recipe" (which she also says is barely a recipe, since it only has two ingredients) is this, consisting of "any punch" and dry ice (not a food-grade item—it probably won't kill you, but that doesn't make putting it in your drink a good idea, no matter how cool and spooky the smoke effect is). She finds it both amusing and baffling that one, the hosts visibly wince upon drinking their own concoction, and two, the editors didn't ask for another take after that.

Misaimed Marketinginvoked: She calls Disney out for doing this in their initial announcement of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny — a doll line for girls — at Star Wars Celebration to a crowd of mostly adult male fans, pretty much ensuring they would all become betrayed and furious when they discover 1) it wasn't made for them, and 2) it was made for little girls. In the VPD video, a section is dedicated to the aggressive marketing of China Beach in the CW on-demand service. She points out how odd it is to market this show to people watching a modern, somber, and sexy teen vampire show. The ads don't even talk much about China Beach, and seem to be hoping the people watching are nostalgic enough about it to buy the first season with extra features.

Poe's Law: Jenny has a hard time deciding whether the novel Trigger Warning is mean to be intentionally bad or not, finding it bad and tasteless enough to seem like it wouldn't be a sincere effort, but also a lot less extreme than it could've been if it were intended simply for political shock value. Considering the reclusive and mysterious background behind its alleged authors, it's unlikely we'll ever find an answer.

Character Development

"The Elena Problem" has her discuss one of her biggest issues of the show, that being how it had no grip of what to do Character Development-wise with Elena — the protagonist — despite having plenty of material to work with. In her exploration of Elena's basic setup (a girl who "used to be fun" trying to recover from the loss of her loved ones while dealing with increasingly supernatural happenings), Jenny finds five lengthy potential routes for her to be developed with that the series failed to take, resulting in her ending the show undefined and unevolved.

Broken Aesop: She criticizes Finding Dory for this—the lesson is supposed to be that having a disability doesn't have to mean you can't do things, but she says that in practice, Dory doesn't find ways to accommodate her disability, she just unrealistically powers through it and remembers anyway, so the lesson comes off as more "if you're disabled, you just need to try harder to not be disabled".

Jerk with a Heart of Goldinvoked: As explained in her "Endgame video", she's not a fan of the archetype, with her example being Tony Stark. While she likes his films and respects his general role in the MCU, she finds his constant rudeness annoying and Wish-Fulfillment-y, as it uses daddy issues and riches as flimsy justifications for it. Compare this to Rocket, who she similarly didn't like at first until he properly developed and became a team player.

Funetik Aksent: In her video on Creepypastas, Jenny lambasts certain types for having these in the narration as part of her larger point about how many Creepypastas fail at creating suspension of disbelief. As she points out, a mainstay of the genre is that the stories are all, in-universe, real internet posts that are really made by the main character. So by those rules, any post with a phonetic accent in the narration has to have been typed that way by the main character, meaning they saw a scary monster, decided to tell the internet about it, and then also decided to type out their own accent...for atmosphere?

"Cavemen vs. Astronauts" Debate
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_49d5dd74
comment
She repeatedly slams the reality show Opposite Worlds for trying to frame itself as a scientific study based around a "Cavemen vs. Astronauts" Debate. This fundamentally broke down since not only are the "past" and "future" represented in a very shallow way (for one, they couldn't exactly depict the future that wasn't just a high-tech present), the "past" team lived in utter squalor objectively worse than the "future" team, and nearly all challenges were obstacle courses which could only be won by those in top physical condition, resulting in both an unfairly unstable competition and a completely moot experiment.

Unfortunate Implications
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_4bc5e1e8
comment
Unfortunate Implications: Invoked several times in in her video on The Vampire Diaries. She points out that it was not a good idea to have Caroline's gay father (one of the very few gay characters on the show) inflict a very unsubtle conversion therapy allegory on her. Jenny says it's not exactly progressive that this makes the very much straight Caroline metaphorically gay, and her actually gay father metaphorically homophobic, while also having the only representation of his sexuality be Caroline using it as a zinger against her mother or people just talking about it. She also has several sections on the show's poor handling of race, such as complete lack of critical engagement with Mystic Falls's slaveholding past (like how it might make Bonnie feel to have all these holidays celebrating people who owned her ancestors); the Travelers, who are shown as a Mage Species packed with anti-Romani stereotypes; and how Bonnie was blatantly dis-favored by the writers. She mentions the poor handling of Elena's transformation into a vampire, which should be the culmination of her survivor's guilt trait, feels like it ends up justifying it. Elena lost her parents in a car accident that resulted in her being the only one saved from a drowning car; when the situation repeats with Elena in a drowning car with someone else, she elects to save the other passenger, being brought back as a vampire. Jenny mentions she dislikes this because it feels like the story is justifying survivor's guilt, in that it was indeed a failure of Elena to not have saved her parents or died with them, and this chance of a do-over where she dies to save someone else is how it was supposed to go. Jenny believes the story of Pandora – The World of Avatar can come across as this. While the gist of the story is that humans and Na'vi have settled their differences and now coexist in peace, there are no Na'vi available for meet-and-greets. This is understandable due to how tricky it would be to have ten-foot-tall characters stroll around the park, but still can give off vibes of humans taking control and speaking over the Na'vi (including an image of Na'vi and humans at a groundbreaking ceremony) and selling their culture. What really makes this uncomfortable is how Na'vi are analogous in the movie to Native Americans.

True to her word, she finishes the book and discusses Johnstone's biography, describing him as a genuinely successful and prolific writer since the 70's, having published over 400 books by 2019, 21 coming out in that year alone.

Orphaned Etymology

Orphaned Etymology: In "Top 10 Worst Reasons You Hated The Last Jedi", she admits to have been distracted by the fact Rey and Rose —two characters from completely different cultures and planets— both use "snake" as a term of villainy, leading Jenny to wonder if snakes exist in the Star Wars universenote They do, but are rarely called so, and Jenny speculates that the one seen at Dagobah might've just been an alien creature with a different name and if there are cultures who instead refer them with positive connotations. In "This Is DEFINITELY Not A Published Reylo Fanfic Novel", Jenny is taken aback by the generic usage of the term "cliff notes" in the novel and takes it to its logical conclusion: that Clifton Hillegass, the namesake of his company CliffNotes, exists in the Black Moon Rising universe.

Animal Motif: Jenny very much likes horses and spiders. Her bedroom is decked out in horse merchandise and she's a long-time My Little Pony fan, and she's also a huge fan of spiders, going through several decorative spider reviews on Amazon and traveling to Arizona to purchase a gigantic spider plushie. In the latter video she says she wanted to be an enteomologist as a child because she loved spiders so much. She also tends to get very excited about snakes, owning a snake plushie, perking up whenever a story mentions snakes, pondering whether snakes exist in the Star Wars canon, and selling a T-shirt based on the "There make be snakes" meme stemming from the "Trapped in a island with John Hutchinson" video. She really wants one of those snake racks they have in gift shops, but to date hasn't been able to get one.

Esoteric Happy Endinginvoked: She finds the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue of Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony to be unintentionally upsetting. It shows that Lyle, a young brony who spent much of the documentary scared of his very conservative father learning he liked a show for girls, later went to boarding school where he found lots of people to whom he could talk about My Little Pony. However, Jenny thought the resolution to Lyle's story was somewhat ambiguous, and noted how that boarding school has very negative connotations to American fans, so she felt that the ending implied that Lyle was shipped away because his interests were shameful to his family.

Canon Defilementinvoked: In "Is Forces of Destiny good?", she discusses Disney's concern for "brand integrity" and "character integrity," with Disney refusing to put its respected properties in anything that could be considered demeaning or out of character. Jenny finds the practice sensible, but also a killjoy that factored into the doll line's refusal to have new characters or even outfits not already established as canon, hindering its appeal and being a waste of a perfectly good universe to boot (she also digresses to theorize brand integrity as being what killed the more comedic Lord and Miller version of Solo).

Compassionate Critic: Jenny's video essay style usually hinges around being this. She's quick and direct to call out problems in whatever she talks about, but she also has no qualms in admitting anything she sincerely enjoys or respects, which is why she generally avoids using "So Bad, It's Good"invoked as a descriptor, as stuff she enjoys and stuff she thinks are good aren't mutually exclusive. Even when talking about things she genuinely dislikes and thinks are failures, her condemnation has less to do with rage of their incompetence and more disappointment that they squandered their potential so badly, often providing suggestions for how things actually could have worked.

They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_6b12722e
comment
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plotinvoked: Jenny is especially disappointed by Tomorrowland due to the rich storytelling potential of the original Disneyland attractions that the film functionally discards after the first 10 minutes. In her video of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny (primarily the doll line, not the webisodes used to promote them), Jenny finds there's nothing inherently bad about a Star Wars-themed doll line targeted for girls, but is greatly marred by a lack of creativity and foresight about what its audience wants. She admits by the end of the video she actually wants the line to succeed, and suggests several ways it could be improved.invoked In her video on Escape from Tomorrow, Jenny notices that writer/director Randy Moore in several interviews inadvertently draws a parallel of his disillusioned relationship to Disney World to that of his divorced father, a concept she thinks could've been very interesting had he decided to focus on that instead of the confused and padded-out plot it went with. She even argues it could've keep the supernatural horror elementsinvoked. While she's unimpressed with the somewhat moot ethical debate in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom of "Should man-made dinosaurs have the same rights as endangered species and should we save them?", Jenny sees a lot of potential groundwork with the discussion of cloning (especially regarding Maisie) for the movie to have instead been about "Is life precious and worth saving even when you can just make copies of things whenever we want?", and comes up with an idea for a plot with this debate in mind. She's of the camp that wishes that Solo remained a screwball comedyinvoked, and spends a lot of her review of the movie identifying odd script anomalies that were clearly setup for jokes or zany ideas, but were squandered in order to make it more dramatic. She ultimately enjoyed Pandora – The World of Avatar for what it was, but she also agreed that for the entire premise of Disney making a theme park that could occupy Animal Kingdom and compete with the franchise-based popularity of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Avatar was a very odd choice. Her alternate suggestion? Pokémon. In her video on Frozen II, while she generally likes the film, she sums up the story as having "a lot of really good bones, but unfortunately no skeletons," calling attention to the film's lack of interest in capitalizing on its newly-introduced story elements and potential for franchise building, resulting in a greatly unfocused plot. Once again, she spends a good chunk of the video sharing what she would've done and suggesting where it could've gone instead. Her The Rise of Skywalker review criticizes the movie for (among other things) failing to really deal with some of the themes it brings up, like Rey's struggle with her darker impulses and desire for a found family, Kylo Ren's journey of redemption, or Finn wanting a relationship and being Force sensitive, instead just rushing through them to get to empty action scenes. She sums up her review by saying that she feels like she was handed a bullet-pointed list of plot beats in lieu of a movie. In "THE Vampire Diaries Video", she ends up splitting this into two segments: "The Elena Problem" has her discuss one of her biggest issues of the show, that being how it had no grip of what to do Character Development-wise with Elena — the protagonist — despite having plenty of material to work with. In her exploration of Elena's basic setup (a girl who "used to be fun" trying to recover from the loss of her loved ones while dealing with increasingly supernatural happenings), Jenny finds five lengthy potential routes for her to be developed with that the series failed to take, resulting in her ending the show undefined and unevolved. "The Bonnie Problem" followed once Elena was Put on a Bus, ascending Bonnie (Elena's best friend and longtime supporting character) to protagonist status. While she overall found Bonnie to be more fun, Jenny notes how the series remained uninterested in committing her into any lasting or significant relationships, or merely teasing her and Damon but insisting that the two were still "just friends". Jenny also sees lost potential using a Bonnie/Damon romance to explore the philosophies of vampire lovelifes, what with the differences in lifespans and inferred moving-on when a lover eventually dies (or Put on a Bus). Near the end of the video, she also highlights a few miscellaneous missed opportunites she personally wanted to see happen: among them are committing to make Arcadius the actual Devil instead of just like the Devil, and/or even giving him a redemption arc (since the sheer audacity of making The Devil the final villain is what makes it work), doing more crossovers and transplants with other related source material, like the works of L. J. Smith to Dracula.

Only One Female Mold: In her Star Wars: Forces of Destiny video, Jenny finds it "literally insane" that for a doll line, 3/4ths of its initial lineup (Jyn Erso, Rey, Leia) are white girls with brown hair, which she assures us would all look identical to a child who can't identify nuances in design. She also points out the wasted potential in a post-Monster High world where invokedunorthodox and plentifully unique character designs have been more accepted by children that Forces of Destiny has no characters of alien species, preexisting or original.

Dead Person Impersonation: The last section of her video on Trigger Warning (a novel released in 2018) discusses how its credited author, William W. Johnstone, has been dead since 2004.

In terms of the highly-touted roleplaying and overarching plotlines, Jenny highlights that the park didn't have a firm grasp on how structured it was meant to be for guests, flip-flopping between being too open-ended (confusing newcomers who didn't know how to progressinvoked) or too simplified (boring them with Railroading). Their pursuit of more prestige elements such as "epics" (bigger story arrangements for larger groups) and continually-maintained continuity additionally sandwiched guests with conflicts of agency (making stories for the overall group experience dampened the influence of the individual participants) and Continuity Lockout (some quests requiring "gold" to join poses a challenge for newcomers who have none and may struggle to find any from other quest-givers).

Reclusive Artistinvoked: Jenny's analysis on Trigger Warning points out how beyond its credited author (who has been dead for over a decade before the novel's publication), its actual writer appears to have been a woman under a gender-ambiguous pen name, a fact which seems to be deliberately obfuscated at every opportunity. Given the novel's material and demographic, Jenny speculates this secrecy may have been done for her own safety.

Idiot Ball: While reviewing Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Jenny points out several uses of this. Although the characters in the "Christmas Prince" movies appear to be juggling a whole set of Idiot Balls between them, Jenny is gobsmacked that the royal family would merely hide a file full of paperwork proving that the title character was adopted, "instead of keeping it in...the fire." She is later equally confused that they hid the royal decree declaring that adopted children can succeed to the throne inside an ornament instead of making it publicly.

comment
N-Word Privileges: Analyzed in her video about Dear Evan Hansen. The play had some homophobic jokes where Jared made comments about how the picture of Evan and Connor's friendship the former tries to paint really makes it sound like they were gay lovers. The movie adaptation seemed to realize that those jokes might not go over well with a broader audience, but instead of removing the jokes, they simply made Jared, the source of those jokes, gay. She argues that this was an attempt to make the gay jokes toothless by coming from a gay man, but that it doesn't really make them any less offensive.

Questionable Casting
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_7c63d3de
comment
Questionable Castinginvoked: She goes hard into this during her Dear Evan Hansen video regarding the infamous reprisal of Ben Platt. She notes that Platt is a talented singer and stage actor, but none of his strengths or performance idiosyncrasies translate well into a grounded, realistic medium like film, the most prominent failing being how he simply can't pass for a teenager and looks unnatural as a result. Jenny also points out how the film and Platt's casting was effectively a case of nepotism as it was produced by his father, with a claim that had Ben not been cast, the movie wouldn't have been made, which Jenny sees as less of an excuse and more of just the whole project setting itself up for failure. It's also discussed during "The Church Play Cinematic Universe"; she occasionally comments on the odd choice of characters picked to represent Jesus Christ in each play, often solely on the basis that they're the main character (with Captain Jack Sparrow and Tony Stark being stand-outs).

They Wasted a Perfectly Good Characterinvoked: In her video on Dear Evan Hansen, she says that the movie's Adaptational Heroism to make the characters more sympathetic actually just makes them less interesting, while also not really making them more sympathetic. For instance, dropping the plotline where Jared attempts to write himself into the Evan and Connor narrative makes him pointless except for some bad jokes, while having Evan be pressured into doing things that he actively chooses to do in the stage show means he has effectively no agency in a movie named after him.

Didn't Think This Through
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: "Suicide Squad Sales Pitch" thoroughly deconstructs the entire basis of the movie through a hypothetical conversation between Amanda Waller and the unnamed person she's pitching the titular squad to, resulting in this at the end: "If Rey is a Skywalker" fully deconstructs the now-jossed "Rey is Luke's daughter" theory by calling out how no matter how you slice it, there is no valid excuse or sensible plan to justify Luke dumping Rey off alone at a young age on Jakku. "Elsa Has It All Figured Out" does the same thing between Elsa and Anna, deconstructing Elsa's decision to have kept her ice powers secret as well as her self-exile after she froze her entire kingdom. Unlike the previous two examples, her properly thinking things out would be an awesome thing. She points out in her video on Paranormal Home Inspectors that the show's high concept — a ghost-hunting show that debunks hauntings with mundane explanations — sounds exciting... until you realize that it doesn't actually lend itself to compelling entertainment. Her review of Disney's Pandora points out the disconnect of the lore (that the Alpha Centauri Expeditions company are cohabiting with the Na'vi) and that there are no Na'vi walking around their own homeworld. In her The Vampire Diaries video, Jenny is agog that the town council's plan to suss out who the vampires are involves holding a party during the daytime and investigate whoever doesn't come—and they hold the party at one of their houses. That is to say, their plan includes inviting as many people as possible into a council member's home, when they're dealing with creatures against whom Must Be Invited is one of the few reliable protections. And they do, in fact, end up personally inviting Damon (a vampire) in. (To be fair, they don't know that daywalking rings are a thing, but they also don't know they're not a thing.) In her review of Dear Evan Hansen, she questions the students taking out their phones to film Evan flubbing his tribute speech to Connor, wondering how they could've expected anyone to find it funny that a boy couldn't make it through a speech about his only friend committing suicide. note Connor wasn't really his friend, but the students in the audience didn't know it at the time. Her video on Evermore Park explains this to be a recurring problem with the theme park, both with individual concepts and much broader fundamentals. The idea of an open-world theme park heavily built around role-playing and immersion within the fantasy world and its characters sounds exciting on paper, but combined with logistical and financial issues leaving the potential significantly unreachedinvoked, there was so many major oversights in safety (both for visitors and cast members) and overall infrastructural integrity that the concept turned into an intense liability with ever-increasing tolls. The whole LARP aspect sounds charming in concept, but only if one considers that everyone involved would be on their absolute best behavior. Jenny notes how despite it being a core draw, very little care was taken in moderating or setting up guidelines to ensure that the roleplay would be respectful and within the lines of consent, which ended up creating an environment that was unsafe for cast members as they had to deal with potentially rowdy roleplayers, emotionally taxing stories, and unhealthy parasocial relationships for the sake of immersion, and whereas other theme parks with roaming cast members tend to be structured and scripted in ways to handle visitor exchanges more easily, Evermore pointedly lacked such structure. Jenny additionally notes that even a cursory Google search will net you millions of commonly-held standards held by LARP communities to prevent these issues from happening, so the lack of care from a corporate-run theme park towards the mental and physical well-being of its participants is an especially bad look. In terms of the highly-touted roleplaying and overarching plotlines, Jenny highlights that the park didn't have a firm grasp on how structured it was meant to be for guests, flip-flopping between being too open-ended (confusing newcomers who didn't know how to progressinvoked) or too simplified (boring them with Railroading). Their pursuit of more prestige elements such as "epics" (bigger story arrangements for larger groups) and continually-maintained continuity additionally sandwiched guests with conflicts of agency (making stories for the overall group experience dampened the influence of the individual participants) and Continuity Lockout (some quests requiring "gold" to join poses a challenge for newcomers who have none and may struggle to find any from other quest-givers). She points out that park management didn't appear to have considered how strongly a particular story event, in which cast members would suddenly panic and urge guests to flee because someone dangerous is coming, evokes a mass shooting. Moreover, she adds that the in-universe Foreshadowing for this beat, which would have made clearer that it is just a story, is spread out over several days, but most people only come for a day or two and so would never see it. Later in the same video, Jenny finds it ridiculous that Evermore decided to file a lawsuit against Taylor Swift for allegedly infringing on their brand with her album Evermore, even though they had illegally been using Swift's songs in the park—as if that wasn't going to immediately shoot their case in the metaphorical foot? Swift's record management company had heretofore played nice regarding the unauthorized dwarf band covers, but immediately filed suit about it when Evermore couldn't be induced to back off. Both sides dropped their lawsuits eventually, but the whole thing cost Evermore a lot of money and public goodwill that it could ill afford to lose.

One True Love: She discusses the topic briefly in the Vampire Diaries movie. She mentions how this is common in media aimed at teenagers because teenagers have a very limited and romanticized view of love, that you are only allowed to love one person your whole life, meet them in high school, and have never loved anyone before or after them even if they're dead. She mentions this is probably why Damien was not allowed to date anyone, especially not Bonnie, after Elena was written off the show, even if they'd serve the exact role as an Escapist Character for the audience to project on.

Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?invoked: "The Last Bronycon: a fandom autopsy" detailed this as one of the nastier sides of bronies becoming more of a thing. With the increased attention towards adult male fans of a show primarily marketed towards little girls, many of them felt the need to reassert their (heteronormative) masculinity, in part by constantly and vehemently denying they were gay, which after many years ended up developing into a rhetoric that being gay is the worst possible thing that could happen to them. That being said, she also noted her amusement that despite the idea still being around in the online fandom, the actual last con was so overwhelmingly crowded with gay fans (and fans in fursuits which she insists are almost all gay) that nobody even made the attempt.

Evil Chancellor: She jokes that Evermore Park's public relations manager must be one of those "weaselly" chief advisers who always wears black and purple because of how bad the advertising is (not on the more popular platforms, inaccurate images, website not finished, onslaught of angry Taylor Swift fans after lawsuit debacle, etc).

Also in THE Vampire Diaries Video, there will occasionally be a Written Sound Effect for certain actions, like the grunts the brothers make when they hug (ungh), or when Jenny places her hand on her chest (thump).

The Un-Twistinvoked: In her review of Joker (2019), Jenny says she wasn't surprised by The Reveal that the main character's supposed romance with his neighbor was imaginary, and jokes that "every woman in that theatre knew" because going to see someone do standup comedy as an open mic requires years of goodwill and isn't first date material.

Totally Radical: One of her favorite things about Beastly is its incredibly tacky dialogue. On top of making conversations awkward and as subtle as a flying anvil, since everyone speaks like "the writer's version of 'cool person,'" it makes every character sound interchangeable, making interactions devoid of chemistry.invoked

Soundtrack Dissonance

comment
Soundtrack Dissonance: In her video on Beastly and when discussing its licensed video game, she brings up how likely due to soundtrack licensing issues, the film's footage used is instead scored with one of three royalty-free tracks, none of which fit at all and makes the scenes hilarious to watch. This culminates in her mention of the film's original ending used in the game where Kyle is shot, scored with goofy pop jazz sitcom musicnote Tragically, she admits through a caption she edited this particular momentinvoked.

Near the end of the video, she also highlights a few miscellaneous missed opportunites she personally wanted to see happen: among them are committing to make Arcadius the actual Devil instead of just like the Devil, and/or even giving him a redemption arc (since the sheer audacity of making The Devil the final villain is what makes it work), doing more crossovers and transplants with other related source material, like the works of L. J. Smith to Dracula.

Although the characters in the "Christmas Prince" movies appear to be juggling a whole set of Idiot Balls between them, Jenny is gobsmacked that the royal family would merely hide a file full of paperwork proving that the title character was adopted, "instead of keeping it in...the fire." She is later equally confused that they hid the royal decree declaring that adopted children can succeed to the throne inside an ornament instead of making it publicly.

Actually a Good Ideainvoked: In her video on Black Moon Rising, Jenny genuinely compliments the climax of the novel for being much better-paced and exciting than everything preceding it, thinking the author had a lot of potential that was marred by her requiring to re-explain the Star Wars universe in order to justify her not-fanfic. While her opinion of the Dear Evan Hansen movie is overall low, she says that "Sincerely, Me" is actually a really good song with fun choreography and interesting editing, and that had the movie leaned into the black-comedy tone and the more straightforwardly self-serving and manipulative aspects of Evan the song shows, it would've been much better.

Catchphrase: Jenny tends to begin her videos with "So..."

"It's so subtle, but it's there", often said about something that is decidedly not very subtle.

Be Careful What You Wish For: In her "Fantastic Beasts 2" video, Jenny explains that she feels like her wish for JK Rowling to write more, and the fandom at large's wish for more diverse characters, have been answered in a monkey's paw kind of way. The story includes, among others, a biracial woman that is killed off, a black woman that is hypnotized, kidnapped, raped and then commits suicide, an Asian woman that becomes Voldemort's most loyal companion and literal pet, and a Jewish woman that joins the Nazi-coded enemy faction. In her review of The Rise of Skywalker, she jokingly laments about her sarcastic suggestions in earlier videos that while Rey shouldn't be related to anyone, it would be funniest if she were related to Emperor Palpatine because of how stupid it would be. When that exact thing ended up happening, she didn't enjoy it very much.

No OSHA Compliance

comment
No OSHA Compliance: Her video on the reality game show Opposite Worlds is filled to the brim with this, not just featuring the "past" team living in miserable conditions over the course of the series, but clearly-untested challenges that resulted in countless contestant injuries, some severe. How bad was it? In the very first episode, during a "push each other off a platform" challenge, the safety cushions were so poorly positioned that when one of the contestants were predictably tackled off, he completely missed and broke his leg in two places. While she says the pyrotechnic effects used by some of the Evermore characters are cool, she criticizes the fact that they apparently keep the components on them at all times and don't have pyrotechnics licenses (different states have different rules, but generally it's a good idea to have one). Jenny points out that always carrying objects meant to make dramatic fireballs, as opposed to getting them only for specific setpieces, increases the chance of injury to both performers and guests (and, indeed, at least one actress is on record as having accidentally set her own costume on fire).

Self-Insert Fic: Several of Jenny's videos have her cover and riff on these. Trapped in a Island with Josh Hutcherson has an especially bizarre case. It follows a thinly-veiled self-insert named Kate meeting Josh Hutcherson, but the third act introduces Kaitlin, a more direct second self-insert who is not only portrayed as the gorgeous romantic rival and villain, but ends up the winner of the romantic conflict, with the story completely turning on Kate, the original self-insert and protagonist. Insanity (which —among other things— ends with the self-insert hooking up with and committing murders with him).

Urban Fantasy: Jenny slams Beastly for doing this poorly. She acknowledges that modernized fairy tales are a thing and can be interesting, but the modernization of Beauty and the Beast is inconsistent in a way where the rules for the Willing Suspension of Disbelief make no sense, taking place in a normal New York high school, but inexplicably featuring a real witch and magic that nobody seems to question or properly acknowledge. The witch is even a student at the school while casually living in a normal apartment.

No Yay: invoked She has many issues with the romance between Evan and Zoe in Dear Evan Hansen, to the point she says that if she could change one thing, she would cut out Evan having a crush on her. While she argues that having Zoe crushing on him would add a layer of compelling drama to the Snowball Lie Evan finds himself in, Evan returning the favor adds vaguely predatory manipulation that only makes him more unsympathetic, since he's using the lies he tells Zoe — that her dead brother loved her very much despite their surface animosity — as a means to feel loved in return, knowing full well that she's in an emotionally complicated state of grief. Worse, Jenny says that the examples of him relaying the nice things her brother supposedly said about her — disguising the nice things he himself admires of her as her crush — still sound like things someone who has a crush on her would think, retroactively adding a layer of Incest Subtext to a relationship that was fraught at best and semi-abusive at worst.

Good Is Boring: In "THE Vampire Diaries Video", after introducing Stefan as "the good boy vampire" in the good guy/bad boy dynamic the series' Love Triangle hinges around, Jenny immediately rips into how boring he is, lacking the nuance or drama of his more entertaining brother, Damon (who would naturally become a fan-favorite and the eventual victor). However, Jenny later emphasizes that he's still a good, supportive guy, managing to be charismatic and likeable despite how bland he is. As she argues, "Damon is the guy you want to watch a TV show about, but Stefan is the guy you would actually want to date."

Dude, Not Funny!: Although most of the fanfictions and bad novel readings are done comedically, there have been a few times where Jenny had to stop and point out that the material was pretty disturbing and probably shouldn't be joked about. In her Jeff the Killer fanfiction reading where the author's Self-Insert has no reaction to the murder of her parents and then goes off to join other Creepypasta monsters like Slenderman, something she compares to the motivations of the girls in the real life Slenderman stabbings. In her reading of Trigger Warning, she stops to point out how terribly the author seems to misinterpret the tragic life of Audie Murphy, ignoring his horrible struggle with PTSD and instead focusing on his military background. More joked about in her Beastly review, when Kyle begs Lindy not to open his letter to her as she takes the train back to see her recently-overdosed father. It's supposed to be a Love Letter, but based on his understated acting, Jenny theorizes that it was actually a draft of a standup routine with a lot of drug addict jokes that would just hit way too close to home for her.

Musical World Hypotheses: During her Dear Evan Hansen review, she gets a ton of mileage out of the movie messing these up for the "Words Fail" number. Evan is singing out his heart out as he confesses to the Murphys of the lie he pushed, but the Murphys themselves react solely through normal spoken word, unintentionally framing Evan's singing as being diagetic. Combined with how the Murphys are reacting to him with shock and bewilderment, this accidentally transforms the scene into absurd Cringe Comedy where Evan appears to be literally singing his BSoD Song out of nowhere to a grieving family.

Later in the same video, Jenny finds it ridiculous that Evermore decided to file a lawsuit against Taylor Swift for allegedly infringing on their brand with her album Evermore, even though they had illegally been using Swift's songs in the park—as if that wasn't going to immediately shoot their case in the metaphorical foot? Swift's record management company had heretofore played nice regarding the unauthorized dwarf band covers, but immediately filed suit about it when Evermore couldn't be induced to back off. Both sides dropped their lawsuits eventually, but the whole thing cost Evermore a lot of money and public goodwill that it could ill afford to lose.

Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: "If Rey is a Skywalker" (a video released way before The Last Jedi) portrays Luke Skywalker and Rey after the events of The Force Awakens, playing up a hypothetical conversation based on the popular fan theory that Luke was Rey's father. Luke starts off with this trope to explain why he left Rey on Jakku, but she doesn't buy it and calls out all the holes in his poor judgement (as well as all the flaws in the theory).

During The Stinger, she claims still finding tons of unsold Beastly merchandise at Toys "R" Us, theorizing they might still be around even after they shut down in the US.

First Installment Winsinvoked: Defied in "I'm on lockdown so I watched all 14 Land Before Times", where the first movie only ranks #3 in her worst-to-best list, with her having found it not aged as well as its reputation suggests. She takes a moment to digress about this phenomenon and how it's largely driven by nostalgic biases than judgments of actual quality.

LARP
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_e5446db8
comment
The whole LARP aspect sounds charming in concept, but only if one considers that everyone involved would be on their absolute best behavior. Jenny notes how despite it being a core draw, very little care was taken in moderating or setting up guidelines to ensure that the roleplay would be respectful and within the lines of consent, which ended up creating an environment that was unsafe for cast members as they had to deal with potentially rowdy roleplayers, emotionally taxing stories, and unhealthy parasocial relationships for the sake of immersion, and whereas other theme parks with roaming cast members tend to be structured and scripted in ways to handle visitor exchanges more easily, Evermore pointedly lacked such structure. Jenny additionally notes that even a cursory Google search will net you millions of commonly-held standards held by LARP communities to prevent these issues from happening, so the lack of care from a corporate-run theme park towards the mental and physical well-being of its participants is an especially bad look.

While she's unimpressed with the somewhat moot ethical debate in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom of "Should man-made dinosaurs have the same rights as endangered species and should we save them?", Jenny sees a lot of potential groundwork with the discussion of cloning (especially regarding Maisie) for the movie to have instead been about "Is life precious and worth saving even when you can just make copies of things whenever we want?", and comes up with an idea for a plot with this debate in mind.

Obvious Beta: invoked One of her criticisms of Evermore Park. While she praises the ideas behind it, she says that when she went, three years after the park opened, it was surprisingly unfinished—many buildings were standing empty and dark, or looked like attractions but upon closer exploration were locked and contained nothing, with some areas simply being obvious half-finished construction sites, one right next to the entrance to the park.

Once per Episode: In "The Church Play Cinematic Universe", while discussing the titular Easter plays, Jenny notes that there's things that always tend to happen in each play: the pastor always plays a side character, the hero always gets crucified (obviously, since each play is based on the crucifixion of Jesus), and someone always sings a song after the crucifixion (which she dubs the "Post-Crucifixion Lament").

Seasonal Rot
 Jenny Nicholson (Web Video) / int_f1a1a9a4
comment
Seasonal Rotinvoked: She remarks in "The Last Bronycon" that My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic got worse in later seasons, partly because of how it included more brony in-jokes. Discussed in "THE Vampire Diaries Video". She says that the series could have had a solid five seasons of content if that had been the set amount from the start (not seasons 1-5 as they are, just five seasons in general). But, because the run time was instead "as long as it keeps making enough money to justify renewal", invokedno plot point was ever fully resolved (leading to previously satisfying conclusions being undermined), and there were pointless, weak arcs and villains because the writers didn't have enough good ideas, leading to worse seasons over time.

Incredibly Lame Fun: Jenny often takes a fascinated enjoyment in entertainment that is acknowledged to be lacking in thrills or polish that would make it appealing to a general audience. "Top 10 Lame Things To Do at Disney World" is a spotlight on the park's least exciting, yet still present, available activities, and in her "SPIDERQUEST" video, one section is devoted to Jenny being fully delighted by the chance to explore the remains of a derelict Flintstones theme park, itself already pretty lowkey and kitschy before it closed.

Running Gag: Near the beginning of her longer thinkpiece videos, Jenny will almost invariably announce that "I have organized my thoughts... (Beat) into a numbered list!" In THE Vampire Diaries Video, clips of the show often end with the commercial for China Beach, referring to Jenny saying how much this particular commercial showed up during the show's on-demand, and how jarring is the difference between aimed audiences of both shows. Also in THE Vampire Diaries Video, there will occasionally be a Written Sound Effect for certain actions, like the grunts the brothers make when they hug (ungh), or when Jenny places her hand on her chest (thump).

Comically Missing the Point: Jenny herself ends up falling into this during "One Direction during The Purge", where one fic tagged with "Larry and Niam" throws her off and gets her confusedly asking "Which one is Larry?"explanation invokedIt's not the name of an individual member, but a Portmanteau Couple Name between Louis and Harry. Jenny also is more startled that Randy caused Grievous Bottley Harm on Jeff the Killer with a vodka bottle he seemingly found at an eight-year-old's birthday party than the fact that they are having a violent fight in the child's backyard to begin with.

Cut Shortinvoked: Jenny's Endgame video suddenly changes format halfway though. She explains that during editing the file became corrupted and she lost the latter half of the video, but decided not to re-film it because she decided she didn't like it. The rest of the video (up to this point she had been analyzing plots and characters) has her discussing how she didn't really feel motivated to do an Avengers: Endgame video but felt obligated to, especially since her take on the film was overall positive while she's known for reviewing So Bad, It's Good media.
