YMMV / CaptainSparklez

• Anvilicious: Whenever copyright comes up, he goes on a long spiel about it, how it isn't compatible with the new internet. Rather than saying that the creators of original content should have no say, and how bad YouTube's draconian policy about is for business and PR.
• Awesome Music: While credit should go to TryHardNinja as well, "Revenge", "Fallen Kingdom", "Take Back The Night" and "Dragonhearted" are very good songs.
• Fandom Rivalry: While quite a few of his fans initially liked Usher and thought that "Revenge" was a nice 'parody' of sorts, the song subsequently being taken down has seriously soured fandom interactions. Nowadays, most comments on fan reuploads are either angry and hateful towards Usher or angry and hateful towards his record label (who are widely seen as responsible for taking the video down and then forcing it to be changed dramatically).
• Friendly Fandoms:
  • With SeaNanners, GassyMexican and the others.
  • Fans of his generally get on quite well with the Yogscast, particularly Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane.
  • With Hat Films, thanks to Jordan guest starring in their charity livestreams, generally being a good sport and having a similar sense of humour.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Several knick knacks used in his Fallen Kingdom tetralogy ended up becoming this once some of the stuff was later added in Minecraft, such as the Piglins and the ruined nether portal in the Nether update^Note The piglins in the game aren't as well organized as in the music video though.
  • Becomes even more hilarious come Minecraft Legends, which brings the smarts of the Piglins from being the unorganized mess in the original game to being more in line with how they are in the music videos.
• Ho Yay: Played for Laughs but this seals the deal. A fairly big part of the fandom are quite serious about this ship and don't think it's played for laughs.
• Memetic Badass: Jordan at Minecraft, since he really is that good.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Hummingbirds are the sharks of the sky." ^note A quote he said during one of his Website/Reddit videos. It's so absurd that people comment it on every single one of Captain Sparklez's Reddit videos.
  • "J*Smashyourfaceonthekeyboard*on". ^note In one of his reaction videos to the CaptainSparklez subreddit, one animator misspelled his name as 'Jardonian' instead of the more popular 'Jardon'. It spread like wildfire, and now people spell Jordan's name in all sorts of nonsense ways, leading to Jordan saying that it was just them smashing their face on the keyboard.
  • "Creeper, awww man" ^note The opening line of "Revenge", Sparklez and TryHardNinja's parody of Usher's "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love". Already one of the most popular Minecraft song parodies, during Minecraft's social media resurgence in 2019, the song rebounded and exploded in popularity, most famously becoming a meme on the chat application Discord. Discord users would randomly post "Creeper" to start a comment chain where users attempt to finish the entire lyrics of the song. Parody videos showing the often messy results with the chopped up song overlaid over the comment chain are popular on YouTube.
• Most Wonderful Sound: Jordan laughing his head off.
• Narm Charm: Jordan rapping generally gets this reaction. He's not a great rapper per say, but he really does put a lot of effort in, which makes it cheesily endearing.
• Parody Displacement: "Revenge". While the song it's parodying, Usher's "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love", is largely forgotten, "Revenge" remains well remembered due to Memetic Mutation.
• "Stop Having Fun" Guys: Jordan's mostly competent enough so this isn't so bad, but on occasions he gets comments from people who angrily shout at him for not being able to memorise the contents of 100+ mods. Talk about irrational anger.
• Tear Jerker: His Fallen Kingdom quadrilogy. Fallen Kingdom is about the King walking through the empty, ruined streets of his kingdom, reminiscing about the olden days when the kingdom was still thriving. His flashbacks end with the death of his wife and the seeming death of his son during an attack from the Nether. In Take back the night, we learn that the king's son is alive, and is being raised by an old mentor, but the mentor is killed by an invasion from the Nether, though the son gets revenge by killing Herobrine (who caused the downfall of the kingdom in the first place). Find the pieces ends more optimistically, with the son finding his way to the fallen kingdom and coming face to face with his father. Finally, in Dragonhearted, the father and son works together to drive back an invasion of the Nether, but it costs the son his life. The final scene shows the kingdom in the process of being restored, while the King visits the graves of his son and wife.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: After "Revenge" was taken down due to Executive Meddling, Jordan was forced to remake the song so that it didn't sound remotely similar to how it was previously. The response from fans, while not blaming Jordan specifically and understanding that he had no choice, has been generally negative, igniting a Fandom Rivalry between his fans and Usher. Eventually, "Revenge" was re-uploaded in May of 2018.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: People who watch his Minecraft videos assume that the rest of his channel is family friendly. The Minecraft stuff normally is unless Jordan specifically warns otherwise, but with other stuff like Happy Wheels or Prop Hunt, you're shit outta luck.
