    I'm glad Red Cow commented that the VHS commentary is intentionally a throwback. He restates the theme of the channel (nostalgia) and he acknowledges the store could go away someday (his own window of time to be creative). There are some interesting differences between the VHS collection videos over the years; they're like markers of transition points in his career. Also I think no one's mentioned this video store replica set is his own and not the other complete replica video store set that is Screenwave's. It's a subtle territory shift. Like Frankie said I'm not a hater, but Rolfe is strangely like a show I've been watching for almost 20 years now, so the highs and the lows are all fascinating.

      Well said. The idea of doing a "what I'm known for outside of AVGN or MM" video felt like an olive branch offering towards the fan base. I just hope that James came to the conclusion by himself, not because of Justin's consult. I've also been following Cinemassacre since the beginning, I even had Cinemassacre's web page as my starter at some point in the 2000s.
      Anyway, I think James made a mistake with the new toupee in the most recent upload (Ghostbusters Afterlife), for it seems the subreddit is going to focus on that now :P

So people are super upset getting this feeling that not only has James complained about his lack of time to do anything, the content people thought he was working on have him just voicing narration. It’s just hard to figure out what James’ motivations are these days. But to the OPs point - phoning things in can have major consequences beyond people thinking you are lazy - people take liberties with your reputation and can permanently affect it like Newt did to James. :(

    James Rolfe being afraid that if he doesn't upload constantly that he will lose everything kind of perplexes me when you look at Jontron. Jontron:
    - uploads infrequently (even going on hiatus for so long at one point that his subreddit became a Scott the Woz board)
    - completely changed the subject matter of his channel from video games to random things he talks about
    - had a controversy where he said things that can be construed as racist
    - continues to take sponsorships from Raid: Shadow Legends
    He also has 2 Million+ more subs than Cinemassacre even though he himself was a fanboy of AVGN (and even appears on a couple Cinemassacre videos). This is anecdotal but I also hear constant buzz if there is a new Jontron video, but I only actually know 2 people irl that have even watched AVGN.
    Hopefully the VHS video is James Rolfe realizing that people watch his channel for him so as long as he is actually creating the content himself his fans will support it. 5 AVGN videos a year is fine, as long as they're good AVGN videos.

      I feel like what people don't point out about JonTron is that, yes, he barely posts videos anymore, but it isn't because he puts all his effort into making bangers, it's because he's EVERYWHERE.
      He basically transitioned into just being a celebrity who only does videos as a hobby, the reverse of AVGN, I think. Like, I see people go like "I miss JonTron so much and looking forward to him doing something again," the same week that a lot of trending videos and podcasts feature him in some capacity.

It's a good assessment, one that has resonated with me.

    Let's be real, James has made enough money over the years that he is very comfortable, and clearly, he has lost a bit of the passion he had in the beginning, when they were tying to actually build this thing. He's obviously not interested in spending as much time and energy and he once did with this channel, and that's his right, since he's accomplished much of what he originally wanted to accomplish. As for the actual content...I think it's very clear that much of the charm that made the channel into the popular entity it became, was due to the input and direction of Mike. When Mike was producing...the show had a general feel of friends who were passionate about these subjects, and organically produced things that appealed to others who shared that passion. With Mike now gone...much of the charm is now gone. Now, it feels like they are just doing a 'job', as opposed to having fun. Most know that Mike was the 'actual' AVGN...and James simply played the role on camera...and it just worked. With Mike's input gone, it no longer really works. I don't blame James, or the Screenwave guys...you can't expect those guys to become Mike, and you can't expect James to keep the same passion, when his friends who he created this with are now gone, and it's become more of a job than a passion.

    James Rolfe is a legendary man. He was a pioneer that started the first of the popular RUclips sub-sections (being the "angry reviewer" trope), and paved the way for the Let's Play channels that came later. In the golden age of AVGN his guerilla filmmaking was inspired and added a higher production value to his content that put him leagues above his peers, with his writing being funny but also very relatable as it came from a place of pure emotion.
    Relatability carried James's appeal further, as his subtle passion when discussing things he enjoyed in series like Board James or Lookin' At Books made him so charming where other reviewers floundered when out of their elements. As he got older he lost the anger associated with his early days (which is a part of life and growing up, as well as the fact that he had exhausted most of the shittier games he played when he was a kid), but kept a lot of the likeability.
    Screenwave has always been a parasite (look into Screenwave's business with Newgrounds, who they were doing business with prior to James), and since they latched on James has seemed less and less interested in the channel and content. I'm glad he is getting back to making his own content his own way. Hopefully one day Mike can come back too.

    Rolfe COULD do just three vids a year, IF he was still the guerilla filmmaker of the mid to late 2000s... but it is evident that's not the way to finance an idealistic family life, so he wanted his creation titled 'Cinemassacre' to take off as a franchise of which he'd be more like the boss than an active member. I would say why doesn't he pursuit his film making now that he's got money for financing, but i don't consider him a great filmmaker at all. He is into this done-on-purpose ultra 'B' likeable trash... only problem is, AVGN aside, non of it is likeable, ever. Questionable or downright hilariously bad decisions every step of the way still you gotta understand the guy he desperately looks for something that could serve as a stable platform for the rest of his active life cuz god knows how much longer the AVGN and some nostalgia can hold his roof up.

    How can you mock King Bimmy?He has no time to make RUclips videos(he’s made 500 movies ya know?)He is busy defending the hard 80s wood throne of Atlantis from invaders of the assholish variety.It takes someone special to find 5 four leaf clovers(five ov em!) and wear the heavy mortal kombat crown of Atlantis.Be careful not to anger the Bim or his caveman army will punch the garbage out of you.

    I really hope James turn around coz it’s not easy to make videos with “contents” let along getting revenues
    It’s def easier to be a tech reviewer getting millions of view for reviewing products while likely getting sponsorships especially reviewing apple or Samsung products
    They can do the same thing over and over ( style, editing , even the words. “ this is the best iPhone/galaxy yet )
    Don’t get me wrong it’s not easy making videos but in term of profitability and time , it is def harder to make videos such as avgn or any skits.

    AVGN was best when it was James and Mike, he refuses to change his process, yet will hire all his less than competent friends to just complicate things more. It's hypocritical and antagonistic to blame the fans just for being sentient. He has created his entire world so it's nobody's fault but his.

I love the memes, but stuff like the posts speculating about his marriage, or hoping for the channel to burn is lame. Bimmy just needs to make some necessary changes, and get back to being full fcking force. Even if he takes his content in a different direction. As long as he's passionate about it. It's his job, afterall. Big Ryan fan btw

    James just needs to make stuff he actually cares about. I don't care if he ever does AVGN again. I'd rather see him enjoy making something. Board James wasn't AVGN, but I'd argue that it was even better than AVGN at the time.

    But here’s the funny part: I’m not really interested in half of the videos you put out (macaroni videos, cooking, ect.). But that’s fine. At least you guys are putting out content that you enjoy. Some of it isn’t my cup of tea, but some of ii is (movie talk, old consoles, ect).So kudos for being authentic. And you guys seem to genuinely have fun doing it so it’s fun to watch.

      The views for Cinemassacre content are down pretty shockingly, if you check their stats on Social Blade. It's this channel covering all the controversy, other channels, the subreddit, people from the subreddit posting on Cinemassacre socials, it's all of it combined, plus the increasingly obvious drop in quality. You can't run from putting out subpar content forever.

    One point made in this video I can agree with not just about Cinemassacre but any channel is too many uploads in a week generally causes me to unsubscribe. I knew the quality off and there were so many uploads that I unsubscribed from Cinemassacre a while ago. In some cases though, I unsubscribe if a channel has like an upload a day because it drives me nuts seeing too many notifications on the side when I look down the list.

    Should have kept Mike and Bootsy around. Zero interest in the new crew or their opinions. I understand that James has a lot of responsibilities, including his family, but the overall quality of the content has definitely taken a dip. Bootsy could have taken over for James for "James and Mike Monday's", and Bootsy Beats would have been a great series if it had taken off.
    Also, though this might be an unpopular opinion, regardless of how big a fan of movies James might be, his commentary on movies always comes across as generic and lacking any real insight into the craft.

    These guys are very interesting and mostly on spot. The quality of the Cinemassacre drasticaly dropped a long time ago, but I kinda expected that tbh. The dude on the right is a bit too cynical, even though he makes some great points.
    Most people enjoy downfalls of others and so do I, but I really can't go to the Cinemassacre truth on Reddit, very toxic people over there.
