Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video)	comment	Picture, if you will, a little boy in Ireland, who consumed various pieces of media in his life, much like you or I. From the famous tricycle scene from The Shining that resulted in him going home early from a friend's sleepover, to the fight scene between Goku and Frieza from Dragon Ball Z, his interests expanded throughout various mediums, such as film, shounen anime, and video games. Later on, that boy grew up, and found some of his favorite internet reviewers like Beatrice the Golden Witch and Stop Skeletons From Fighting. Inspired by these reviewers (and after getting particularly incensed at a certain podcast shit-talking Hunter × Hunter), the boy created his own Youtube channel that focused on his various interests in the visual, writing, and even business aspects of fiction, and soon enough, he found great popularity, even receiving a shout out from a few of those very reviewers. That boy was John Walsh, and his channel was Super Eyepatch Wolf.An analytical channel that initially focused on anime before branching out to various mediums and topics, what stands out about SEW is that the show and analysis don't focus so much on John's own opinions, but breaking down the mechanics of how shows are created; their appeal; the components that make up those shows; and sometimes even why they've declined, are lacking in appeal, or he feels they're less than good. And whether it be the ending of Naruto, the components of Jotaro's character design, or the evolution of Samurai Jack, he has more than a bit to say about all of them.A lifelong fan of professional wrestling, Walsh has also dedicated several of his video essays to analyzing the history and nuances of wrestling and explaining its unique appeal to non-fans—which many of his viewers credit with turning them onto the sport. He officially became a Promoted Fanboy in 2021, and now makes occasional appearances as heel manager "Lesly Bestington" for UK-based independent wrestling promotion Colosseum Wrestling, where Simon Miller of What Culture Wrestling also wrestles from time to time.Space Jam Two: Battle for Reality, the Fan Sequel from his video Space Jam 2 is a Lie, has its own trope page.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_10f35f3a	type	Creator Breakdown
Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_10f35f3a	comment	Creator Breakdown: invoked Discusses this with various mangakas. John states that the oppressive working conditions of the weekly manga grind are fundamentally unsustainable and typically lead to Creator Breakdown, with creators developing severe health issues and/or suffering major burnout in their desperate attempts to keep up. As a result, their work eventually starts taking massive nosedives in the quality of their art and/or storytelling (or they're forced to delegate it to an assistant). He brings this up with Naruto and Kishimoto, with his speculation that the artwork having changed due to delegating it. invoked It's discussed again at the end of "What the Internet Did to Undertale". Toby Fox, the creator and director of Undertale, was caught completely off-guard with how fast the game exploded in popularity. Fox sadly admitted in an interview that "my life has changed permanently and will never change back", even advising certain streamers and YouTubers not to play the game because he was getting sick of the Unpleasable Fanbase and its more ravenous supporters. Even John sounds kind of sad when talking about Fox's frustrations.invoked "Buying a PC With Dell: My Journey Into Hell" is a semi-parodic example for Eyepatch Wolf himself as he suffers emotional and psychological breakdowns over the course of trying to get his new computer working. Given this is an actual event that occurred to John in real life, the video is also catharsis over how he got past the breakdown. invoked

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_11a74598	comment	Became Their Own Antithesis: In "The Fall of the Simpsons", John argues that this is what made The Simpsons so dreadful after season 8: it began as a ferocious backlash against the cookie cutter sitcoms of the 1980s, as well as a satire of pop culture. But around the turn of the century, The Simpsons devolved into the same cheap gags and narratives of the most cheesy sitcoms that it was mocking. Played for Laughs in What The Internet Did To Undertale. John starts heaping praise onto the Crossverse AU, noting that if you can understand all the complicated worldbuilding, it's a great piece of media... only to realize that he has, in essence, become a Kingdom Hearts fan.

The video is about the very deep rabbit hole that is fan works based on Undertale, and how they tend to play more off of each other than the game they're based on. At one point, John discusses a web series called Underverse which is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover of all of the biggest Undertale fan-universes, and how he has found fan works based on fan works based on fan works based on the original game. John repeatedly throws in a "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer on some of the more outlandish works, assuring the viewer that all of the Alternate Universe Fics he's mentioned are real.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_197486d3	comment	Creator's Pet: invoked Discussed in his Unreality of Pro Wrestling video. He argues that the Roman Reigns character ended up being this to WWE for a long time; while Roman was part of a popular wrestling act in The Shield and the most superficially marketable of the trio, Roman lacked the experience to really work well as a solo performer, on top of WWE's booking not giving the Roman Reigns character anything particularly interesting, portraying him mostly as a cool nigh-invincible superhero. This meant WWE's heavy push to make him the top face of the company gradually soured hardcore fans on Roman, leading him to be one of the most disliked performers in the industry. It would take years and a hard Face–Heel Turn into his "Tribal Chief" persona, combined with Roman improving massively as a performer, for him to finally get over with fans and become the big star that WWE wanted him to be.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_1ae27a74	type	Fridge Horror
Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_1ae27a74	comment	Fridge Horror: invoked In the "What The Internet Did To Garfield" video, John attempts to understand why there's so many bizarre and terrifying fanworks of the series, and in doing so reads 954 Garfield strips to catalogue his findings (he admits he eventually gave up on reading all of them when he found out that with the comic having been published daily for some 40 years by the time he did his research, there was somewhere in the ballpark of over 14000 total strips). After doing this he comes to the chilling realization that beneath all the quaint and formulaic gags, Jon Arbuckle's life is shockingly bleak and depressing, with the strips frequently highlighting how much of a loser he is and many of them featuring Garfield tormenting, mocking, or belittling him. When you remember the fact that Garfield is never actually saying anything and Jon is essentially just talking to himself, it paints an extremely pathetic picture of the guy as someone trapped in a life of perpetual loneliness and misery that has gone on for decades and will likely never end, as Jim Davis has long made preparations for the strip to continue long after his death. John concludes that this is the reason why the various horror-themed Garfield fanworks have resonated so strongly with people, as they simply take the darker undertones that always existed in the strips and exaggerate them to horrifying extremes.

Roaring in defiance, he steels his beaten and broken body for one final battle... and the beast swats him aside with a single tentacle, killing him instantly and sending him right back to the title screen.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_275ca6e1	comment	In Bleach's case, he feels the main issue was Kubo not doing a good job of fleshing out future characters (especially the villains) and not giving a really strong emotional component for most of the fights, which exposes other weaknesses, like the fights not being very tactical or interesting and frequently ending with Ass Pull solutions where the characters reveal a completely unknown ability that is exactly what they need to turn the tide. He also criticizes Kubo's world-building as being lacking and not giving the story much room to expand when Aizen was defeated, leading to the dull and forgettable Fullbringer Arc which did not advance anything besides giving Ichigo his powers back, undoing the most interesting thing that happened in the prior arc.

Much attention is also brought to the fact that these memes have enabled massive amounts of Alternate Character Interpretation which would be impossible in the show itself due to Status Quo Is God. invoked "The Bizarre Modern Reality of Sonic" similarly discusses the descent of the titular blue hedgehog into cheap joke fodder with the decreasing quality of his games, resulting in an existence as a shell of his former self on the internet. Unlike The Simpsons, Wolf argues that the infamy of Sonic has more to do with the Broken Base than the games themselves, particularly the vast quantity of really strange porn and OCs that are rarely good.

He goes on to insist that it is actually a pretty good film in its it own right, and really ought to be remembered for other things than the rather gratuitous fanservice scene of Chun-Li being topless in the shower. John then is clearly about to go off on tangent about it, explaining "Although, when, you know, you are fifteen years old...!" before the scene cuts.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: Discussed in regards to Fear & Hunger's playable classes. Early into the video John calls the Knight "objectively the best class in the game" due to her durable armour and ability to move twice in one turn giving her a huge advantage in combat, but later finds that the Outlander not only has abilities that are more useful in the long run such as higher attack, faster movement speed, and being able to stave off hunger by eating fallen enemies, but can also find items that allow him to do everything he praised the Knight for, meaning that if you can get through a harder early game, you'll come out of it with a much stronger character. Similarly the Dark Priest, by far the physically weakest character, can not only reanimate the dead to fight for him, but can also become one with one of his undead party members to become a veritable Master of All. John goes from questioning why anybody would play as him to taking on the game's hardest challenges with him.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_3fca462c	comment	invoked A recurring point in his remake of his video discussing Bleach is that many of the series' creative problems are visible throughout even the early Soul Society arc, which Wolf considers its strongest narrative point. But these problems only grew as the manga continued and Kubo's character writing grew weaker. Special emphasis is placed on the tendency for fights to be resolved by Deus ex Machina and Ass Pull conclusions. Wolf argues that such a thing is a forgivable choice when the series did a mostly decent job of fleshing out the cast and giving a good emotional narrative for the important fights, but it becomes far more problematic as the manga begins to drop the ball on its character writing and the issues with the fights become way more noticeable.

He points out that this is always bound to result in people dissatisfied with the thing they love changing, and how this is a phenomenon that was apparent in The Simpsons even back during its golden age by looking at old reviews from Season 6 of the show (frequently considered one of if not the best). He concludes that it's unreasonable to expect a show that lasted as long as the Simpsons to stay the same or maintain its old level of quality, and that it's questionable whether it makes sense to hold the new seasons to that standard considering how much of the world and people have changed in the decades since.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License – History: While his videos on professional wrestling are very well-researched, his retellings of wrestling storylines occasionally simplify events to make them a bit easier for non-fans to follow. For example: his take on the story of the Golden☆Lovers glosses over the fact that Prince Devitt was the leader of Bullet Club (not just a member) when he first faced Kenny Omega, that Bullet Club had two leaders before Kenny (not just one), and that Bullet Club's members weren't all Americans before Kenny joined (Devitt, in fact, is Irish). Similarly: his recap of EVIL's heel turn refers to Kenta as the leader of Bullet Club, even though Kenta was just their acting leader at the time (their actual leader, Jay White, was temporarily unable to travel to Japan due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Wolf theorises that it's because it's so easy to twist the life of Jon Arbuckle into an existential nightmare, with the way he's been stripped of his main character status and original purpose, and has been reduced to a pathetic loser to be belittled by and suffer at the paws of Garfield. And considering the franchise is one of the biggest merchandising empires on the planet and the way Jim Davis has taken steps to ensure the comic will continue even after he's gone, there's little hope of escape for Jon.invoked

Eventually, though, Sami is able to win Jey over, and from that point he becomes Sami's most staunch defender as Roman Reigns turns the rest of the family against him. This all culminates when Sami, torn between his loyalties to the Bloodline and his old friend and rival Kevin Owens, turns on Roman. Jimmy, the first friend he made in the group, is the first to attack him in retaliation, and as the rest of the Bloodline descend upon him, Jey is the only one who doesn't join in, leaving the ring in horror.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_6c3c8acf	type	Franchise Original Sin
Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_6c3c8acf	comment	Franchise Original Sin: invoked Discusses this trope in "The Fall of The Simpsons". While he thoroughly enjoys Season 8 and considers it part of the show's "golden age", Wolf believes that it contained early warning signs of the cartoon's future decline that can be seen by taking a closer look. For example, Wolf notes that the plots of episodes were starting to become more outlandish, which he thinks indicates the start of a pivot away from the show's satirical roots and towards the more absurd plotlines many have complained about in the years after. invoked A recurring point in his remake of his video discussing Bleach is that many of the series' creative problems are visible throughout even the early Soul Society arc, which Wolf considers its strongest narrative point. But these problems only grew as the manga continued and Kubo's character writing grew weaker. Special emphasis is placed on the tendency for fights to be resolved by Deus ex Machina and Ass Pull conclusions. Wolf argues that such a thing is a forgivable choice when the series did a mostly decent job of fleshing out the cast and giving a good emotional narrative for the important fights, but it becomes far more problematic as the manga begins to drop the ball on its character writing and the issues with the fights become way more noticeable.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_72757e0d	comment	"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: A more positive version than most examples; in his first video on One Piece he brings up that Oda created a stupid-looking character in a diaper and baby bonnet (Senor Pink) and gave him a heartbreaking backstory that justifies it, but before moving on, he reaffirms that yes, as unbelievable as it sounds, it really is. For context, Senor Pink was not just a top officer to the Donquixote Family, but a man who would end up falling love with a woman and getting married, a son even on the way. However, he kept his work from her a secret, claiming he's a banker. One day when he was out on a secret mission for the Donquixote family for a week, he found out that his son had died the day he left, with his wife leaving him after learning of his criminal association. She then got into an accident that put her into a catatonic state. Heartbroken and grief-stricken, Pink desperately tried to anything to get her to react, only to find to have her crack a small smile when he put on the bonnet and pacifier of his late infant son. He continued to dress more and more like a baby to keep her smiling in spite of the ridicule he endured, and even after her death, he continued to dress this way to honor his late family to keep them smiling. In "What the Internet Did to Undertale", John repeatedly discusses Alternate Universe Fics which are based more on other fan works than the original IP. When John gets to some of the really outlandish ones, he repeatedly has to insist that all of the fan works he's talking about are totally real. Throughout the What the Internet did to Garfield video, he has to stress the borderline insane and weird nature of the ironic fanbase of the titular comic strip, but that's nothing compared to him explaining all the amount of merch the franchise has made, starting..: Also from the Garfield video, John has to preface the section about how he suddenly started noticing Garfield everywhere in his daily life, culminating in his mother finding a photo of him as a child holding a plush Garfield even though as far as he can recall, he was never a fan of the comic, to note that this was a real thing that happened to him and not a joke like Space Jam 2 was.

John argues this isn't as out of the ordinary as it seems; there's porn of just about everything on the internet, and it's a statistical inevitability that a large enough fandom will contain at least a few people with some really niche fetishes who aren't ashamed to indulge in them. The Sonic fanbase just happened to be singled out for it because they were already seen as a laughingstock online for other reasons, and the porn only cemented that in the eyes of outsiders. The rest of his fandom deep-dives also briefly touch on this subject, as porn is such a universal constant in online fan culture, but What The Internet Did To Garfield really shows how far the rule extends by pointing out that "r/imsorryjon", a subreddit created to house grotesque, nightmarish Garfield fanart, managed to spawn its own dedicated NSFW board named "r/ImReallySorryJon".

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_9de7a5d0	comment	Fix Fic: Actually proposes one for the climax of Shenmue III, rewriting it so that Ryo actually manages a Heroic Second Wind that allows him to land a blow on Lan Di, causing him to choose not to kill Ryo in a moment of humanity. While not objectively "good", John makes the argument it's better on the basis of it being something, giving the story actual weight and payoff that develops both the hero and villain, whereas the actual climax of the game is an incredibly anticlimactic Curb-Stomp Battle that leaves the story basically no different to when it started.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_9eca61c8	comment	Production Foreshadowing: Sometimes, one of John's Favorite Things videos will touch on a topic that he'll cover in more detail in a dedicated video sometime down the line: The list of horror recommendations from My Favourite Things Fall 2018 ends with the manga Blood on the Tracks, which would be the topic of its own video in 2020. In My Favorite Things Summer 2020, John gives a shout out to The Last Dance, a docuseries on the Chicago Bulls, noting that it helped to convey why Michael Jordan is considered a Living Legend in the world of basketball, even to a non-fan like him. That same series would later be cited as a source when detailing Jordan's career in Space Jam 2: How Warner Bros is Lying to You, and the insight it gives into him as a person informs his characterization and arc in the alleged "true sequel" to Space Jam. In one of his earliest videos, Why You Should Watch: Hajime no Ippo, John takes a moment near the end to also recommend Teppu, and adds that he'll probably do a full video on it in the future. And while it took 5 years, that video would eventually see the light of day in 2021. Fear & Hunger first recieved a mention in My Favorite Things Holiday Special 2022 several months before it became the subject of The Cruelest Video Game. Lesly Bestington, John's obnoxious nouveau riche social media influencer character from the introduction to Influencer Courses are Garbage, would resurface as a heel persona for the UK-based indie wrestling promotion Colosseum Pro Wrestling shortly after the video's release.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_a76de48b	comment	Troubled Production: invoked Spends the last part of his Final Fantasy XV video discussing the games infamous production and how it impacted the game. Despite the massive amount of promise displayed by the game when it was first revealed, a combination of other projects going on in the company and director Tetsuya Nomura's unchecked creative ambition and tendency to come up with entirely new ideas on the fly (at one point wanting to make the game a musical after watching Les Misérables (2012)) caused the game to spends years flopping around in pre-production. By the time Nomura was moved to be full-time director of Kingdom Hearts III and Hajime Tabata was made full time director, the staff was let with the insurmountable task of salvaging a finished game in just three years, requiring huge amounts of the story to be altered and redone, compounded by the entirely new and untested engine for the game requiring outsourcing. John feels this shows in every aspect of the games design, demonstrating this by noting that the games decision to close on Noctis and Luna together in the afterlife, with the logo being changed to signify this, makes very little sense in the final game due to the little emphasis placed on their romance, but is very likely just a remnant of Nomura's original vision. In his updated video about Bleach, he brings up this topic in regards to the final arc. Where as in his first video he thought the series ended because of Shonen Jump telling Kubo to end the series, he discusses how ultimately the story was hindered by Kubo's declining health and the stress he went through to finish the series.

In his "My Favorite Things Summer 2018" video he talks about Street Fighter's 30th Anniversary edition having poor online connectivity. It's let "certain Canadian dwelling cowards run their mouth for too long" (picture of Pat fades into the screen), referencing a joking feud the pair had over their Street Fighter challenge. When explaining how all of the various Undertale Alternate Universe Fics and Recursive Fanfictions tie together, John abruptly stops when he realizes that he's become as obsessed with explaining the Kudzu Plot as a Kingdom Hearts fan. In "The Unreality of Pro Wrestling", he recounts how in the wake of The Shield's breakup, the WWE were all set to position one of the former members as the new top face of the company. Seth Rollins, he adds, was likely not considered as he was too much of a natural heel, and that if you need proof of that, "follow him on Twitter."

He states this only escalates in future seasons as the writers seem to operate entirely on creating big shocking moments that would make an immediate impact, while giving no thought to how they tie together into a broader story or how coherent they are with everything that happened before.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_d212ac8b	comment	Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: invokedIn The Unreality of Professional Wrestling, John discusses how, after years of being hated by the hardcore WWE audience, Roman Reigns managed to gradually win them over. The first part of this was his emotional speech where he announced his temporary retirement to treat leukemia, where he thanked the fans for caring about his performances, regardless of whether they booed or cheered him. This moved a lot of fans who were forced to reassess whether they'd been too uncharitable to Roman and reminded them of the real person that was behind the character. The second part was Roman's return where he underwent a big Face–Heel Turn and became the "Tribal Chief". This new gimmick added a lot more depth to Roman's character, portraying him as a brutal mob boss who emotionally and physically abused his own family to exert dominance and paper over his own insecurities. When combined with Roman's massive improvement as a performer which helped sell this new persona, this was finally enough for the audience to get behind him wholesale, turning him from the most detested performer in the industry to the massive superstar that WWE wanted him to be.

This is why he praises Hunterx Hunter for foregoing this concept, freeing Gon and the rest of the cast from the typical expectations of the genre and allowing them to be more complex characters as a result.

In his Bleach and Naruto videos, he cites both series as negative examples of the trope, explaining how over time the artwork in both series became more stiff, lifeless and plastic compared to the more expressive and characterful art of the series' earlier chapters. His stance on the former would soften over time, though, with him saying in a follow-up video four years later that while the artstyle certainly changed in the later chapters, it didn't necessarily become worse. He addresses this briefly in Attack on Titan, saying that Isayama's artwork was very rough and lacking in the initial chapters, but that over time he's gotten better. He cites Hirohiko Araki's art in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as a more positive example, with his art becoming both more detailed and loose, yet still highly expressive as time went on.

Super Eyepatch Wolf (Web Video) / int_f1a1a9a4	comment	Seasonal Rot: invoked He believes this happened to a few series he's covered, such as Naruto and Bleach. In Naruto's case, he feels the core issues were the change in the story to focus more on Naruto and Sasuke's characters individually (feeling that they are way more interesting together interacting), and the fact that the story kept going after Naruto's defeat of Pain despite that feeling like it should have been the conclusion, and from that point focusing more on uninteresting lore and underwhelming villains like Madara and Kaguya. In Bleach's case, he feels the main issue was Kubo not doing a good job of fleshing out future characters (especially the villains) and not giving a really strong emotional component for most of the fights, which exposes other weaknesses, like the fights not being very tactical or interesting and frequently ending with Ass Pull solutions where the characters reveal a completely unknown ability that is exactly what they need to turn the tide. He also criticizes Kubo's world-building as being lacking and not giving the story much room to expand when Aizen was defeated, leading to the dull and forgettable Fullbringer Arc which did not advance anything besides giving Ichigo his powers back, undoing the most interesting thing that happened in the prior arc.

The second video elaborates further by recapping the major beats of both stories side-by-side to highlight just how many similarities there are. While John initially sees the Niaowu section of Shenmue III as an exciting change of pace after Bailu Village, his opinion quickly sours once he realises it's just repeating the same plot points as before in a new setting. To wit, Ryo is beaten up by another musclebound thug, and has to spend even more hours gambling to buy another expensive item before another old martial arts master will teach him another special technique that he can use to win. Even the special techniques are the same, with both being variations of the Tetsuzankō.
