Zack's gotten really weird lately. He's constantly ranting about creators doing everything his channel was built on, like calling out activist freaks ruining culture they didn't create, and has been defending dogshit products that crap on the fans (Indiana Jones, etc).
The irony is that he is still complaining and participating in the culture war but from a different side. Hypocrisy, dishonesty, & disloyalty. You can buy some of his garbage bin books for the low price of his loss of dignity. He always had bad takes on art & artists back even when he still had the balls to speak up against the character and agenda of the corrupt corporate figures. Now, he can only rise to speak ill of is some editors, artists, his allies & audience.
@kulturkriget Absolutely true. Back when he was still diversity & comics I had unfollow more than once due repeated abject non seriously nonsensical criticisms of art and drawing techniques. It was too stupid to listen to.
@@TheRealEnrico Yeaah, he went a bit far in many cases. With the BLM-madness Comixology gave away a loooot of "diverse" comics for free and some was actually quite good. Most was bad of course, but he didn't make the distinction, everything sounded horrible in his reviews. The original Miss Marvel wasn't even woke, and quite well written but for a different audience, and one about Black Panthers sister (I think) was actually very well paced and only "woke" in the sense that they were lesbians (if I remember correctly). And this is coming from a guy who really hates wokeness.
Zack's talking about wrapping his channel up. Imagine if he'd done that a year or so ago while he was still a legend. From the voice of Comicsgate to a 2nd rate Thinking Critical/Perch tribute act.
Ya Boi's downward spiral began when he dropped his Waid lawsuit after crowdfunding it. Then completed when he started fighting with his customers over repeatedly launching C and B tier campaigns before fulfilling Jawbreakers or Expendables and handling the criticism about as well as Heather Antos would. RIP Ya Boi
@@jimjam51075 and his hypocrisy when he criticizes “rage baiting” RUclipsrs. Like Bruh. He’s a glorified gossip channel. We’re here because we see how messed up things are and he was saying things that made it make sense.
@@jimjam51075 I despise that crew of clownish diversity hires as much as anyone and shining a light on their lack of talent and incompetence is good but when every second video is about Vita Ayala it becomes a bit wearing.
Honestly since he called people that didn’t want to watch Picard season 3 worse than SJWs (who he regards are worse than actual terrorists) I unsubscribed. His movie and tv takes are nuclear bad to the point it was a running gag. When he decided to get shitty about it was the start of the end. Just make iron sights and jawbreakers bro no one cares about your art projects. It’s just ironic the guy that talked about selling hotdogs completely lost touch with his audience.
Dude, big time. I've been dreading EVS dealing with that since he got it. Along with other people I enjoy. (I can't even think about possible close friends/family) I take some solace in the fact that if they took it (chances are) they weren't "real" to begin with. Just system tools like a shader in Adobie Photoshop. They were never like me... Nice uplifting comment for you!
@@TheChadTI My father-in-law had a heart attack after his second shot. My sister has been having headaches since she got it. A fit, healthy co-worker died of a heart attack while biking a couple months ago. It's crazy. I hope Ethan pulls through...
Zack is irrelevant, I'm still subscribed to him but I haven't watched a single video of his in over three years now. Zack has spent six years crying about GwenPool, Squirrel Girl and Spider-Gwen, and obsessing about Milkshake One and Mags, ... but he is constantly making snide remarks when other RUclipsrs make videos about any current film or topic. It's okay when Zack cries about GwenPool but don't you dare criticise the new Little Mermaid or Snow White! Zack is a joke. He could have turned Jawbreakers into a legitimate IP, but instead he wasted years making his Reddit Tier "Punk Rock Ninja Commandos!" books and destroying Narwhals 499 with his Crayola's. Zack has consistently mocked and belittled anyone associated with CG for years and he is embarrassed by the customers base, he essentially turned into the typical Marvel Comics employee that he use to make videos about.
@@sainmagnus1058 Exactly. I wrote that Miami Connection thing under his launch trailer for that book, and since then he has me blocked and shadow banned from commenting on any of his videos. I wasn't even being confrontational, all I said was "Zack, this sounds a lot like Miami Connection and the name is a bit too similar to Sean Gordon Murphy's Punk Rock Jesus" ... I was instantly blocked, not even talked to, just blocked out right. Zack is a Con Artist in my opinion, as he is literally everything that he was making videos complaining about.
@@SpeedBoost He's a thin skinned hypocrite. He made a video ranting about middle aged men criticizing the little mermaid and I commented that he's pushing 50 and talking about books made for children. He blocked me and addressed it in another video which boiled down to "it's okay when I do it."
@@sainmagnus1058 Yeah he's a snake, I think he let the praise EVS and everyone was giving him go to his head. As he now seriously believes that he was successful because he didn't live stream and the CG method is wrong, ... but he forgets that his books were only successful because EVS, Malin, Cecil and all of the OG CGers would be promoting Zack's books on multiple live streams every day for months on end. Like Zack was getting promoted by everyone all of the time, yet he promoted no one ever, and he would make constant snide remarks about other CGers books. I was in shock when Zack (the guy who put out 499, Panic and Punk Rock Ninja Commandos) had the nerve to critique Shane Davis's Starlight Cats and he was looking down his nose at it. ... like I'm sorry but it was different when Zack was just a customer, but now that he is also producing comics (and such poorly written and drawn comics, like 499 and Punk Rock Ninja Commandos) he doesn't get to look down his nose at any other Artists work. As Zack is realistically less talented than Mags, but he thinks he's Jack Kirby. He's so delusional and a massive disappointment.
I like Zack and Ethan. The fact that Zack is willing to state his honest opinion even if it goes against the opinion of his piers shows he has a backbone. A real constitution. That's respectable even if he is wrong. Most people in the space fall in line with their side on every argument.
@@oriontru8365 Ah okay. I remember him from back around 2017 and 2018, but then he kinda disappeared. Last I saw, he was doing fitness and lifting videos or something like that.
Zack,s insecurities were laid bare, I always saw him as a kind of enigma, I have only seen him on a live stream once and then he ducked in and out. He has great comic book insights and writes fun books. But
Superman did not reverse the spin of the earth. The audience was seeing the earth's rotation from Superman's perspective as he travelled backwards through time.
Perch's stance of anti-opinion on everything is what infected Zack. That's where it all went downhill..."I was listening to Perch the other day and..."
In relistening to this, Shane makes so much sense here. If there was such a legitimate demand for 'woke' stories for a politically driven audience, then simply make a woke imprint and publish stories for them. But, they didn't for the same reason that we see all around us today. Also, what happened to Zach was Perch. I'll leave it at that.
The thing is group commentator live streams trend toward sectarian gossip fests. The attract drama and often become aimless ranting about topics you probably don't want to talk about. I'd hesitate to join any group live stream.
Me too, but I said Mark Waid had achieved what the Taliban couldn't. Pretty over the line tbf, but it was so frustrating to see the direction he was heading.
Zack sucks and Zack knows it. That's why refered to himself as a lesser to Ethan as a side kick, and not as a equal or a superior. Sad. No confidence. I used to like Zack.
All these old men and their bizarre egos man. Their own heads turn out to be their biggest downfall/ enemy time and time again. It happens to every online community or group, and bands as well actually. It rarely works out, and is easily avoidable if you have some humility...
For whatever reason, he dropped the Mark Waid lawsuit when it looked like he had the upper hand. He's always been reluctant to associate himself too closely to Comicsgate. He's gone on the attack against anti-SJW RUclipsrs at different times even tho they're theoretically his own allies (and probably part of his audience). The point is that Zack has always gone his own way and refused to do what he was told. So, I don't fully understand the backlash against him myself.
If anything, Zack is more like the Fred Norris to Ethan's Howard Stern. Cecil is John Melendez. Malin is Jackie Martling. Shane is Gary Della'bate. Anna is Robin. Billy is Sal the Stockbroker. Kelsey is Artie. Chokeout is Steve Grillo.
Zack's done. The only reason to stay subscribed to his channel at this point is so that you won't miss the video where he lies supine and apologizes to the people who, not very long ago, called for his death.
@@centralscrutinizer8571And here we are, with your prophetic ass being a thousand percent right about him lol. Dude hopped on that wagon real quick, since Furiosa broke his brain. Now he’s deleting comments from everyone.
@@michaelkikle3018 his latest take is apparently that anti-SJWs are worse than SJWs because SJWs cancel people, but anti-SJWs cancel culture itself. What level of abysmally stupid or resentful of your own audience does a person have to be to assert that saying "this movie sucks, here's why" is in any way similar, let alone equal to or worse than, trying to actively ruin a person's life personally, professionally, and financially? Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of this spreading in ComicsGate recently.
Yeah I think Zach knows it's over and he's jumping ship with this move he's about to make... He stated in one of his recent videos that he's probably going to wrap the channel up because he feels guilty about talking about comics at his age. He's a single man pushing 50 with (presumably) no kids and no woman, talking about children's comic books. and he is slowly realizing that he has no future living in a one bedroom apartment in a dusty old border town with a broken air conditioner. He must have done well for himself with his campaigns because he is claiming to have enough money to move to a 'high tax state' (im assuming Cali) and move up an entire rent bracket, but some fans have their suspicions because as one person put it "how is he going to afford a new place if he can't even fix his air conditioner"? Which he of course deleted 😅 TL;DR: Zachs almost 50 and is having a midlife crisis.
Could you do a clip of Shane talking about 232 and hulk figures and also Ethan's review of HULK on DVD it starts at 59:19 and ends at 1:07:32 here's the video (Thursday Night LIVE with Billy Tucci: JUMPING into AXCEND with Shane Davis!!)
I really don't believe he's ever said the culture war isn't real. I listen to Zach all the time and he still speaks about how sjws destroyed comics. I think Zach has a personality type that is just averse to group identity, group think, which can be helpful and harmful depending on the situation. I also think he has some anxiety issues and live streams tend to bug him. That's getting too close to armchair psychologist though. I didn't even realize there was any small drama between him and EVS. Edit: I also think what EVS sees as "walking back" is Zach recognizing a certain part of the cg movement becoming "toxic" in its own way. By that I just mean getting their identity wrapped up into the idea of a movement to a detrimental extent. But this is all my opinion based on surface level things he's said so I could be wrong. He doesn't really speak negatively of EVS though. Besides the jersey barker comment, which isn't that bad
Zack is just a dude who is constantly thinking, and came to a forgone blackpilled conclusion: The culture war is ideologically B.S., with both sides practically being profiteers who feed off of stoking mutual outrage while simultaneously asset stripping their industry of interest. It is akin to, say, the Clone Wars in Star Wars: it has legit tangible casualities and damage which cannot be denied, thus making the war very real; however, the "us vs. them", "clones vs. droids" mentality doesn't actually exist and both sides are ultimately kind of on the same side - using similar tactics & complimentary roles to achieve a more insidious goal (i.e. elimimate the Jedi & destroy the Republic).

Zack's gotten really weird lately. He's constantly ranting about creators doing everything his channel was built on, like calling out activist freaks ruining culture they didn't create, and has been defending dogshit products that crap on the fans (Indiana Jones, etc).
