History YMMV / MoviesWithMikey

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: His "Let's Talk about Thanos" video proved to be controversial, even by those who enjoy his content, mostly due to his interpretations of how [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the film]] portrays [[VillainProtagonist Thanos]] and handles its morals regarding abuse and love. While he raises a fair point about if a Superhero movie should be the place to discuss themes of abuse, many felt that his analysis was off the mark and unfair, and that Mikey was projecting his emotions onto the film[[note]] a possibility he brings up in the video, admitting that it brought back a lot of bad memories [[/note]]. The main criticism people had with this was Mikey acting like a MoralGuardian and saying that the film says abuse = love, even though the film itself critiques Thanos' logic heavily and that Thanos' abuse is still written as a negative aspect of his character, especially when the character being the target of Thanos' affection, Gamora, makes it clear she hates him without changing her views at all and the film never once shows her being wrong about it. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment The random rant at the end]] about Batman also made people criticize the video for not seemingly like it had been thought out, and the random inclusion of someone to make comments along the lines of ThinkOfTheChildren made his core argument fall flatter for people. Mikey seemed to be aware the video would've been controversial and preemptively disabled comments to avoid the FlameWar, [[StreisandEffect though this might've ended up making things worse]].

* NeverLiveItDown: A few people love to bring up the fact Mikey was one of the writers for ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'', a game seen as a colossal train wreck, and for having a terrible story.

* HarsherInHindsight: In "The Story of Franchise/HarryPotter", a lot of his exploration on Creator/JKRowling's personal history and philosophies -- in turn their relationship to how the books and films have resonated with audiences -- has become a lot more depressing in following years as Rowling and her works have become embroiled in increasing scrutiny and backlash for her, [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment shall we say]], increasingly controversial politics.

* InternetBackdraft: His "Lets Talk about Thanos" video wasn't well liked, even by people who enjoy his content, due to a combination of Mikey coming across as overly emotional, complaining about how "dark and grim" the movie is, and how he ignores that the film paints Thanos as being wrong. He argues that the movie claims abuse equals love, when the film itself does not at all portray that as true, and has been praised for [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped how it shows that abusive people can still feel love]]. Not helping was that he complains the Guardians of the Galaxy are "out of character", when, for the most part, all their scenes were written by their original director Creator/JamesGunn, and when he suddenly went on a rant about how Franchise/{{Batman}} doesn't try to help the villains he arrests get over their "mental illness", ignoring how flat evil they are. Most agree that while he had some valid ideas, he was too emotional over the film to make a fair point.
