Matt lays out his preference for squibs over CGI bullet wounds, and expands it into a larger Marxist analysis about how profit concerns increasingly strangle creativity

Matt's boomer level takes on pop culture are the funniest part of his vlogs. Edit: ok, I'm being a little strong on "all pop culture". Really I mean his squib thing is a prime example of an unexamined bias that he chooses to justify, even if it's a pretty pedestrian take to begin with. I don't find his explanation convincing.
he addresses age (well, acclimation really) right at the beginning, have you heard this one?
Yes, and I think he's reaching on this one. He goes further on the topic and it kind of becomes a meme in subsequent vlogs.
What do u mean?
Really, I'm mostly referring to this topic; I feel he really does come into it "squibs are good", then builds a framework atop it to justify what starts out as a pretty pedestrian "practical effects are good folks" take. And I don't think he's willing to recognize it's a pretty boomer level "they don't make them like they used to" beginning to his discussion.
lol I just reminded you that he specifically addresses this
Yes, and I don't find his address of it convincing, particularly how squibs becomes a hobbyhorse for him later in the series.
if they ban me for shouting about squibs i'll face god and ride that hobbyhorse backwards into hell
