Channel Awesome/TGWTG cleanup

I'll clean up some natter.

Was a consensus ever reached on the Moments pages, particularly for the Nostalgia Critic? The Funny.The Nostalgia Critic and Heartwarming.The Nostalgia Critic pages are... uncommonly massive even when divided into years.

Eh it's been 11 years and subjective but I'll clean up some stuff and maybe make separate pages for heartwarming when I've had more sleep.

TearJerker.To Boldly Flee is really gushy towards the middle/end of the page and the Funny, Awesome, and Heartwarming pages gush for all of it. Even the Trivia.To Boldly Flee and YMMV.To Boldly Flee pages are gushy.

"It would probably be safe to say that this entire web series' existence could be considered one huge CMOH. The fact that it's a long love letter to film itself. Especially clear in the latter half, but set up from the very beginning. Also serves as a love letter to the Critic from his creator. He dies all grown up, is finally able to be at peace, has saved humanity for the third time, and now knows what a good character he is. What more could his fans ask for?"

I wouldn't call the trivia and YMMV pages gushy, talking about breakdowns and the production and such, but the heartwarming/awesome/Tj pages were riding on the high of a good end and need updating, I'll clean.

The YMMV page has entries like "The previous two feature-length specials, Kickassia and Suburban Knights were both very divisive and littered with niggling problems (which varied wildly from viewer to viewer) and at the very least were very cheap-looking. In To Boldly Flee there's an unprecedented confidence in the storytelling, damn good SFX sequences, and the characters given clear personalities and story functions, rather than just taking turns delivering the jokes," "No, people with horrible self-esteem won't become the universe, and "The Review Must Go On" onwards smashes the Aesop, but the whole point was Critic could get out of his funk and become something better. As Brian praised on the commentary, so many fans took that as hope for their own lives," and " In the documentary, Rob pleaded his hope for that the audience would care for the characters “just a tiny bit”. He shouldn't have worried," and a Some Anvils Neededto Be Dropped entry.

The Trivia page has stuff like "The movie was originally intended to be a straight comedy, but then everyone as a whole played their lines straight. With the realization that they could actually carry some very good drama, it was shifted into the dramedy that we know and cried over," "Fan Nickname: To Boldly Feel" or "To Boldly Cry", due to how intense it could get."

Also, while not gushy, some of the entries under Reality Subtext and Fandom Nod don't make clear how they're those tropes and assumes encyclopedic knowledge of the series.

I think those are still valid? I'll just tone down the excited tone, it was seen as a much better sequel and people did care/cry after all.

The page was moved from That Guy With the Glasses to Channel Awesome. Some of the subpages still need to be moved.

Took them long enough to move it. The controversy didn't help.

Since I’m busy this week, can someone help with moving the remaining subpages from That Guy With The Glasses to Channel Awesome?

I moved the remaining subpages.

Is there anything else to do here, or should the thread be closed?

I think it's okay to close?

It's been inactive since June, so probably yes.

Going ahead and closing; give a holler if anything else needs to be done.

Unlocking just to note a new STP related to TGWTG.
