YMMV / Familiar Faces

• Alternative Character Interpretation:
  • Claims that the real reason Ms. Bellum's not in the reboot is due to her being killed by Sedusa, who sent the vacation note to cover her tracks and no one's noticed because they're all distracted by dank memes.
  • Similairly, when covering Hello Nurse's abscence from the Animaniancs revival, he brings up how in the spin-off comics, she lead a double life as a secret agent, and speculates that her stint with Doctors Without Borders is a cover so she can commit full time to the secret agent life.
• Awesome Art: CR makes high quality fan artwork of almost every character he covers on Familiar Faces.
• Bile Fascination: Fans of FiM sometimes take a peek at some of his social media posts just to see if his views on the show along with its fans and writers are as venomous as others claimed.
• Critical Backlash: In his Big Bertha review, he became possibly one of the first reviewers in history to actually defend the Super Mario Bros. (1993) film.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: His animated Let's Player OC Princess Melony from his Simpsons Live video has gotten a lot of fans in a short amount of time, for two obvious reasons (her boobs).
• Fetish Retardant: The Ladies of Star Wars playing card deck, which is a mash of rubber forehead aliens, green skinned space babes and humans, with ages ranging from 14 to 80.
• Growing the Beard: CR's scripts and jokes have grown commendably sharper and funnier within the span of less than year. And with his Lamar Smith video, he's shown to even be willing to seriously discuss political issues like SOPA/PIPA.
• Harsher in Hindsight: At the end of his MLP retrospective, he concludes that he isn't worried about the show's future without Faust, since she's leaving it in good hands. Based on his attitude today... he clearly doesn't think so anymore.
• He Panned It, Now He Sucks!:
  • CR has increasingly complained about the direction My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has taken since the second season finale, which has angered and annoyed many fans of the show, and by extension many fans of him. It doesn't help that despite the fact he said he is no longer involved in the fandom and refuses to watch the show anymore, he still kept taking hits at it for a while, to the point where, after Season 4 ended, he posted a "summary" of it on DeviantArt that was just a mocking clip of Beavis And Butthead Do America.
  • He got the ire of Gravity Falls fans when he trashed the episode "A Tale of Two Stans" and even went as far as to call the show "The Prometheus of Animation" after the series finale simply because it was vague over the mysterious nature of the setting.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In his review of Simpsons Live, he remarks that even though the special was a failure, the experiment of performing cartoon characters live had great potential and mused that the first Lets Player to successfully rig up an animated persona would be incredibly popular. Come 2020, his prediction came true with the meteoric rise of V-Tubers.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: CR occasionally makes use of computer graphics, and he's not half bad.
