Nice to see that Pan (technically speaking his actual screen name is Pan-Pizza, Rebel Taxi is just the name of his show thing or whatever) has a discussion thread on TV Tropes. I follow his videos and his tumblr frequently.
Yeah, he does some weird stuff and says confusing messages (it's hard to tell if he likes Ben 10: Omniverse or not since he thought the change in artstyle was refreshing compared to the artstyle of Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, which sounds like a compliment but it's hard to tell, and he placed Teen Titans Go! among his list of worst redesigns…even though he regularly posts pictures and gifs from that show), but I'd like to think his pros outnumber his cons.
Plus, you gotta admit, it's really cool if actual show creators know about you and your work.
As for the stuff about him and college, he did post on his tumblr that he ended up being one of the better students in his class, so surely that means he must care at least a little about how he does. And maybe his "complaining" about college might actually be him just parodying how other people on tumblr probably whine about college.
I think he's doing ok.
By the way, anybody think he'd like The Secret of Kells or Song of the Sea if someone told him about them?

As much as I am annoyed with his humor,when he actually is reviewing stuff and isn't acting immature,he is a really good reviewer.His animation is well done and the amount of effort the guy goes through to make his videos look like they were from Toonami is outstanding.And the fact that he managed to interview 2 cartoon creators is amazing.
...But than he'll make really stupid jokes and I start getting annoyed again.
I'm very mixed on the guy.He puts in a lot of effort in to his videos and they come out really well but he can be really annoying at times because he makes such crude,obnoxious jokes.Granted,I don't find all of his jokes bad,like in the Nicktoons podcast when they're talking about Rocket Power and he lies about an episode of the show that's basically one of the characters gets their arm stuck in a boulder just like in 127 hours.

That site's still around? I could have sworn that the crew from there moved to Blip..
Supports cartoons being cartoony!No, the videos are hosted on Blip and the site just posts them.
Just a person. He/him.Post deleted

So Pan's hanging out at Frederator Studios in New York.
And evidently, Fred Seibert lets Pan call him Fred. Nice.
Love him or hate him, you gotta give him points for being able to be chummy with the boss of an animation studio.

I don't think I mentioned this,but I like it when Pan drops his crude persona and shows his dorky,awkward yet loveable side.Like when he starts laughing his ass off in the podcasts.Him being himself can be more likeable than the facade he usually does in his vids.
My Tumblr "If theirs one thing I'm good at, it's blowing" Jesse Cox 2013Well, Pan just saw a Broadway adaptation of The Elephant Man with Rocket Raccoon in the lead role and also saw Spider-Man. Sort of.
Pan, if on the off chance you're reading this, I to you.

This The Elephant Man adaptation with Bradley Cooper sounds like an interesting experiment.
Just a person. He/him.Yeah well, based on Pan's thoughts:
…It may not be worth the investment.
The lack of make-up is what makes it interesting, as it poses a challenge for an actor. (In fact, I think I've heard it was Cooper's idea, based on his MFA performance at the acting school.)
Just a person. He/him.Are we sure that RT is on Channel Awesome? I can't find him on the website.
Would it be weird if I said I wanted a crossover review with Pan and The Nostalgia Critic?
He was picked up but hasn't posted anything on the site yet.
Just a person. He/him.I'm happy for the guy meeting his hero, despite my distaste for his persona. Though I can't help but question why Fred doesn't mind his thing for Zone-Sama (who last time I heard, "disrespected" some of Frederator's characters).
I know people are sick of me bringing that up, (and I'm aware of Pan reading this), but just this one time, I'm legitimately curious.

...I can't imagine someone of that profession being happy about their characters being r*ped (that "consent" excuse doesn't fly with me). I'd just assume he just doesn't care and looks the other way when it comes to background checking that stuff.
Anyways regarding RT, I guess I really shouldn't care about what this guy has been up to since I'm not overly fond of his work. But hey, if RT is reading this, I'm sorry for being a douche, but I'm just going to let it go and let you live the life you want. Cool? Ok.

No idea why he would post this since he's gone on record saying he hates 8 Crazy Nights. (But then again, who doesn't hate that movie?)
What does that even mean? That a big company (I believe) like Federator is going to waste their time looking at his Tumblr gifs?
