There's a lot of meta and behind the scenes taking up the main alphabetized trope pages. What if we take examples like that and put them under their own page to avoid confusion and clutter?

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

I think the NC and Doug Walker main pages need new images. At this point, both are 5 years old. Shouldn't they be a bit more recent?

I don't know if it should go on Nostalgia Critic or Doug Walker's section, but there's a spin-off called Tamara's Never Seen where she watches classic movies that she's never seen before.

Can someone edit some of these character entries, they seem a bit out of nowhere and personal (e.g. On "Malcolm Ray's Characters: "...100% looked out for Rachel especially when Doug/Rob were focusing too much on her bust...")? I mean, when did this ever happen, either in character or out? I'd edit it myself but I'm just a lurker with no experience editing stuff on here.

Turbo commentary. They were going on about her Rita boobs (and in Cat in the Hat commentary, Doug was saying "you know Evilina went through puberty" when Rachel ever turns around) and Malcolm was the one who asked if she was actually comfortable.

Just watched the Power Ranger: Turbo commentary, yet to watch the Cat in the Hat one, and whoever wrote that entry was obviously misinterpreting what was said. The Rita conversation was a short one, and not even one that was focused on her own breasts, and Malcolm was asking if it was literally uncomfortable. Even then the entry still sounds a bit malicious and biased. I'd ask again if someone can please edit it and keep to being neutral on such matters.

There's not really an entire explanation in-show. He just has this kinda running joke of having a really horrendous childhood, complete with dreadful parents. But in the Old vs. New Willy Wonka, there was a kindergarten drawing of them as monsters. In Alaska, something apparently really bad happened when he mouthed off to his Dad for the last (and probably first) time. In Nickcoms he said he was raised as a girl for a short period and he still calls his mom his world in the Chick's TLC review.

Who's posting at least 25 new entries every day these days, why do they all have to do with past episodes instead of recent ones (which leads me to believe there's a group doing nothing but marathoning N Cs all day long), and how come most of them have anything to do with how the Critic is fanservice?! Fanservice is the last thing I focus on when watching the show!

I don't think that would be too bad, just as long as you don't fill it with out-of-verse "omg so pretty!" (erm, if you're that way inclined >.<). For one thing we're cutting down on actress/actor perving, and for another people have a tendency to go... psychotically obsessive with him. Did that make sense to you?

So he feels that Action Girl is better and that Real Women Never Wear Dresses? Well, I guess that's somewhat classy, but I'm pretty sure Peach is not a bad character simply because she's a Distressed Damsel. I'm not sure what's wrong or not dynamic about a sweet and gentle female character in a story, just saying.

No I expected it to be the same as the rest of the examples. No tropes, just listing the best jokes from that episode. Hell, one of the trope examples in the folder is Crowning Moment of Funny. I haven't been to every Crowning Moment of Funny page on the site but I'm sure it's not supposed to break down tropes used in a single episode.

I see what you're saying, but how does the crowner format even lend itself to flamewars? The worst that could happen would be a bunch of episodes being added that wouldn't get supported and would end up at the bottom, and there's even a feature that lets you ignore those entries. The only really flaming I could see would be episodes having a bunch of thumbs up and thumbs down, but it's not like there aren't plenty of functional crowners out there like that. Still, like I said, I could see it getting out of hand, so unless I get a few more replies saying it's not a bad idea I won't bother.

"Anyone who hates Doug for being a single nerd in his mom's basement has no idea that he's moved twice into two actual houses in suburban Illinois, and is now engaged."

I'm almost certainly confusing it with some other reviewer on TGWTG, but I thought he did live with his parents (pre-The Room/The Tommy Wiseau Show).

He and Rob did (and their new house is just as awesome as the last one, lucky bastards), so that "moving twice" should be corrected, but the other stuff is good. They had their own rooms, so no basement-living, and I believe they've had their girlfriends-turned-fiancées for at least a year or two years.

I'd have removed the comment about the leopard seal being too big, but I thought I'd post it here.

Hate to break it to whoever added it as an example of "Did not do the research" but while Leopard Seal is pretty big, it's not that much bigger than a human and it certainly doesn't have a mouth that can fit a whole penguin in there. I'd say the thing's size is proportional to a porpoise or baby whale. In other words, I think NC's criticism stands, it's pretty big.
