Content

Stranger Things will continue next week, but it's time to pick up another show to pair with it. You decide whether we dive back into Marvel or if we power through Arcane first! 

These two shows have both been heavily requested so that's why I'm limiting the poll to just these two. 

Also, for those who are curious about Euphoria, I'm putting the second season off for now and will likely revisit it later. So for the near future, the plan is to watch 2 shows with movies sprinkled in as well.

Jessicaaaaaaaaaa

tuffin

Clone wars

Essero Eson

There are no bad answers here.

Rory cornetto

Holy moly, tough choice… no wrong choice here, I think you’ll get a little more out of Arcane

PrayTellCaesar

Both are so gooooood. I'll be excited no matter what wins

Christian Maldonado

Arcane!! it’d be nice to take a break from the marvel & explore new shows ☺️ I’m happy with whatever you choose!

Liliana

Im just kinda tired of marvel and want something different even tho you got a lot of marvel fans on here

Gabriel L.

Arcane! it's one and done, instead of the billion hours of Marvel content that just go on and on and on and on and on indefinitely with no end in sight. Jessica Jones is actually good, but it can wait.

Omar Salama

Give The Last Kingdom a try

Noyes33

Arcane is soooo good

Darryl Low

Been dying to watch Arcane and see what all the fuss is about, so that gets my vote. I'm excited to get to Jessica Jones in due course. Have an awesome Tuesday Nat 💛

iskeirim

JJ first season is great but it's doesn't compare to Arcane.

ButtyOh

I know its early but the fact that JJ is so far ahead is gonna cause some salty people in the comments

TONYA JACKSON

LOST! Who really needs free time, right? Lol

Final Fighter

Arcane is getting delayed way too much. I’d like to see Arcane first

Boomcity

I love Jessica Jones, but Arcane is fantastic and will be short, especially if Nat may tries 2 episodes a viewing? Then it gives her time to move onto other stuff. Either way is a win.

Josh The Bard

This is the hardest poll I have ever seen!

Alissonbecker94

Jessica Jones or arcane? Easily Arcane..

Adam Block

Wondering the opposition to Arcane. Its 150% better than JJ. Like as a shorter show too? It's 9 episodes of all killer, no filler. Would heavily suggest just watching it. You'll laugh, cry, be in awe, and more.

Joshua Kon

Ill be sad if JJ wins but I understand if it does. Just hope comment section stays civil because thats what nat deserves

Anton Agassi

For the love of god pls vote for Arcane my heart can't take anymore disappointment from these polls 😂

cupsy

Nat, as someone who is obsessed with both of these franchises, Arcane is the right choice here. Arcane is truly something special.

Henkan

Disney fanboys will always win these polls.

Anthony Kolbe

JJ was great, but Arcane is one of the best shows I've ever seen. She's going to be mad that she watched boring old Obi-Wan instead of arcane.

Dexan

this just proves how marvel influenced this community is, there could be iron fist instead of JJ and it would still be close one

Brian Jones

One would certainly think.... But there be Marvel fanatics about.

Rebecca Solomon

Both great, but I really am ready to do a re-watch of JJ. I saw Arcane too recently to devote to a full rewatch.

Chen

Love Jessica Jones and can't wait to see you reacting to it!

BigSlice

I like polls like these where either way it's a win.

Jess E

I really hope it's Arcane

Philip De Leon

Although I really want you to watch Jessica Jones, I wish you had Ms Marvel on this list, especially since it would probably be a quick series to watch.

Christopher Robles

She accumulated a ton of marvel and star wars fans early on.

Chris

Guys, help. Been waiting for her, for an Arcane rewatch! ahhhh

eladrin22

I know JJ will probably win, but I put my vote for arcane. Really only can it is shorter. Honestly, both are fantastic shows.

Micah Zimmer

Either way it went, I think things are gonna get messy. Hopefully people remember it's OK to like both or either show.

Lean

like both, but like someone allready said, arcane has been prolonging way to long now, so its now or never :)

Alissonbecker94

I love marvel, but this shouldnt even be a poll. Arcane was probably the best animated show of 2021🤔😭

Zach Zombie

Man, I'd be cool with Jessica Jones but I really want Arcane

Kyle

Arcane plzzzzz

Jorge

Arcane lets goooooo

Chun

I can't help but think that everyone voting for Jess Jones has not seen Arcane. Arcane is a hard 100% on RT. Jess starts at 93% (which is admittedly good) but goes lower and lower from there.

Rey

Like both but God I'm really rooting for arcane

Brian Jones

Sadly, you're probably right.

Emil

Arcane must win it is literally one of the greatest tv show ever and the best tv show of 2021

Matthew

I've seen Jessica Jones and enjoyed it. It's worthy viewing. BUT, I like the reactions mixed with stuff I haven't seen (a fair rarity) and Arcane is one of those.

Brian Kidling

Ah shit here we go again. JJ is going to win, cause marvel is the audience, and we'll get toxic children in the comments again. That said, Nat has said not wanting to be a marvel heavy channel so maybe its best we just get Arcane out of the way now. Otherwise after JJ youll have DD, She Hulk, Ms marvel and more.

ButtyOh

When all the comments seem to want Arcane but JJ is 10+% ahead lol 😆

Gabriel L.

SouloBoy: there are 135 episodes of Defenders episodes (JJ, LC, IF, DD, and Defenders) and just 9 of Arcane. I am not saying Nat should never watch more Defenders, just that Marvel already represents a very large share in content, vs a single-season show that could be knocked out in a couple of parts.

Roman

You know you're on the Patreon of someone who has clearly become a "Disney fanboy," right?

Henkan

Good for her. Good for them. I'm unsubscribing now as I feel disconnected with this channel.

Neil Silverman

This is a hard poll. Both of these shows are excellent, for very different reasons, and you won't go wrong with either of them.

Cory Silver

This could be the first time I've actually voted for the winning thing.

Brian Jones

These polls are about as rigged as the 2020 election.😂

SLAPAPOW

I like Marvel, but we need a break. PLEASE ARCANE!

BigHatMatt

If Arcane wins, great! If Jessica Jones wins, at least it be one step closer from no longer having to see Marvel vs other quality content.

Tyree Milon

We should substitute Jessica Jones for The Punisher

Kevin L

with all these marvel shows we're never getting to arcane are we

oscar latorre

my god not more marvel... i love it but defenders are a subpar saga dardevil aside... we need a break from that or we gonna burn natalie...

KingsCustard

Jessica Jones can't touch the level of Arcane's quality. Best surprise of that year.

Moon Unit Alpha

I love Marvel. I have seen all of it 5 times over but these shows aren’t in the same league. Arcane is the best show to come out since Covid and I I don’t even play League of Legends. 2 Emmy nominations vs a show that should of stopped after one season.

Jason Gillman

I like both shows, would prefer Arcane but JJ is good and gets us closer to Daredevil S2 and Punisher.

Bou Sculpts

I love both, but I feel like Arcane loses a bit of quality if you come out of the League of Legends world. Some reactors even got heat for it. It's definitely a great show, but so is Jessica Jones.

Danishprince

I love Jessica Jones so that's getting my vote but man, Arcane can just not catch a break huh :D

Senec

If you thought Daredevil made her squirm, Punisher is gonna make her REALLY uncomfortable.

Joshua Kon

Cant deny some reactors get more toxic style comments but I have found those outside of league generally enjoy the show the most. 0 spoilers of characters or expectations

Jenny Chalek

You know my vote is going to be for Jessica Jones. Because season one is like my favorite season of tv of all time.

Eve

Oh boy. I don't have a preference but if it's Arcane I do hope the fans treat you with respect. Another female reactor (Mary Cherry) did Arcane aswell and was treated horrible by rude and toxic fans that were picking at her intellect, which eventually ended in her not uploading the last 3 episodes on youtube. Toxicity is of course in every fandom, but some worse than others.

Seth Workman

Arcane is just a better show all around.

ISeeTrees ofGreen

Jessica s1 is great plus david tennant is a great villian

Sean Ash

Why so much marvel hate. Marvel and Star Wars although is not centric on her channel is however the foundation with which it was built, JJ for the win.

Adam Block

Funny because I actually have Disney+ and watch all the MCU related stuff like as soon as i can. But if Nat starts JJ (which has more episodes and is longer) she'll want to go onto season 2 soon after or go back to DD, then Punisher probably show wise. Arcane has 9 episodes or shorter length in general. It not only makes more sense to watch Arcane in that way, but because it's just really good

SLAPAPOW

"anti-disney mentality" It's not that deep. People just want to see a non-marvel reaction to one of the best animated shows ever made.

Bou Sculpts

Maybe try treating people with different tastes with a bit more respect. One preferring JJ over Arcane does not make him/her a fanatic, just saying ;).

Adam Doyle

For self-contained small series, try Black Mirror, or the new Twilight Zone. For maybe a fun live-interactive viewing, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is highly recommended.

Rich House

Can't tell if this is a spoiler or not, been too long since I've watched season 1

Ian

As much as I'd like to watch arcane I can't vote for it after that total dickhead trolled the comments for ages so Jessica Jones for me and it's great so now I hope it wins

Bou Sculpts

I come from the future and you're right. No heat from Marvel fans towards Arcane. All the heat from Arcane fans towards Jessica Jones. Pretty sad. Hating Disney is getting old so quickly... and JJ isn't even Disney, but still, it's Marvel, and therefore, must be thrown into the ground

Jeff Szymanowski

I thought Arcane was great. I also love variety. I think she should watch both. I voted for Jessica Jones because of all the Arcane whiners.

Bou Sculpts

Not knowing the characters takes away that "OMG it's...." moment. It's definitely enjoyable, up there with the best shows of 2021, with an animation 100 levels above What If or Invincible.

Rich House

Damn I was hoping we were going to get a JJ vs Ms Marvel poll to see how that plays out. Arcane will eventually gets its well deserved day but when Marvel is on the poll we all knew what would happen, maybe when IronFist rolls around....

Elisa H.

I don't care for either so I'll go with Superman and Lois or paper girls on prime video 😉

Bou Sculpts

That's what you get with Riot products. They think the entire Internet is their LoL lobby where everything goes.

SmokeAndACoffee

*sees Arcane on another poll* me, transforming into that GTA meme: "Aw, shit. Here we go again...."

Geoffrey T. Blackwell

Oh, damn. Such a difficult question. In the end I broke toward Jessica Jones but only because I watched Arcane fairly recently.

Bou Sculpts

Oh trust me, I'm all in for Marvel content, but Iron Fist can burn in the darkests pits of hell.

Caomhan84

I tried to watch Arcane after hearing about it over and over and over again, but I couldn't make it through the second episode. I just couldn't bring myself to care about what was going on. And I've never seen Jessica Jones. Since the poll is so close I'm not going to vote in order to swing it one way or the other.

Jordan Love

So much melodrama... is that what we can look forward to with Arcane? If so I'm happy to skip it. We took a break after DD S1 and I'd say it's about a 95% chance she'll watch Arcane right after JJ S1 so unless your Dr. just told you that you've only got 1 week to live I think you could cultivate a little bit of patience.

Rich House

As long as his character is introduced as the villain it seems fine, if there's a reveal after the fact I'd call it a spoiler

Bou Sculpts

I've seen both. I liked both. I prefer Jessica Jones. Because even you find it hard to believe, there is people with different tastes. Some people don't enjoy animation at all for example.

Steve J

I got to about episode 3½, felt the same.

Brian Jones

Desired effect of joke achieved. Thank you Luis, you made my day. I literally tailored that comment specifically for you. I almost put "for Luis Santos" in parentheses but that would have spoiled the fun.😂👍

Casey Walker

Season one of Jessica Jones is the only Netflix marvel show I care to see. It’s a legitimately great stand alone season.

Adam Block

It's not "Marvel" hate to me. It's more Arcane is the better overall show. Not to mention it's shorter and only 1 season as of now so would be a quicker series for Nat to do.

pedantech

Mary paid very little attention to the show in the beginning. She was too busy playing with her cat and phone. The edit on YouTube cut all that out, leaving the parts where she was clueless, but without the context. It made her look unintelligent rather than inattentive. People should not pick at other people's intellect, for sure. But I think it's fine to respectfully criticize the quality of the content she put out. She dropped the ball on this show.

Gavin Day

David Tennant is soo good

Brian Jones

Oh come now Bou, would you have preferred "enthusiast"? But let's be honest, you and I both know there are more than a few that are fanatical.😂

Joshua Kon

I dont think its hate. The netflix marvel series all end up going pretty bad, besides maybe DD. They also all got cancelled mid story so I'd rather not waste time reacting to an old, imcomplete, long series. DD is going to be completely new, seperate from his netflix self.

Kyle Fletcher

Arcane being better is definitely debatable. I tried getting into it and thought it was boring.

iskeirim

I think not knowing League of Legends is even better for a first viewing, because you don't know the importance of certain characters therefore "no one is safe" and there's more stakes to the story.

Eric James

I liked Arcane but there’s just more meat on the bones with Jessica Jones, seriously no rhymes were intended.

Mastervodo

Hey Nat! Hello You! Yes You! I really, really hope that the poll doesn't keep skewing toward Jessica Jones. I watched Jessica Jones. It was good. But Arcane is GREAT. And it's different! And I think you will be amazed! I think if you read the comments section, you can see SO many people having a good opinion of Jessica Jones - but a GREAT opinion of Arcane. Plus it's more recent and maybe that will drive more and/or different people to your channel than just the marvel fans. Think of your future Nat! Arcane is clearly the better choice!

Adam Block

She has Euphoria, Stranger Things, Dare Devil. These are all multiple season, hour long episode shows. And she's only on season 2 technically of ST. Be easier for her to start and finish Arcane within like a month or less on her channel and even faster here probably. How does it not make sense?

Brian Kidling

Here they come, the toxic arcane fans when its losing

Brian Jones

Nah, I think most people like both. I haven't seen many that "hate" the first season of JJ. Just many that are tired of the never-ending conveyor belt of madness that is Marvel. In this case it would probably be a better choice to burn through Arcane as it would go a bit quicker, but either is a decent pick and both are quality entertainment. Sadly, if it was Iron Fist, I have a sinking feeling it would still be winning though. Especially given the historical trend of these polls.

Bou Sculpts

She better not watch the comment section, it will do little to no good for Arcane fans, since all you can see is people crying and people hating on Disney just because that's the new cool thing to do. If she has to think of her future, going for the winning option on the poll is the best decission then.

Brian Kidling

I dont see nat getting to iron fist. I hope she steers clear of the defenders tbh. JJ s1, Punisher S1 and DD s 1-3 are the things to care about if you want good/passable quality

Letícia

i think she's only watching the first season

ButtyOh

Realistically people have to get used to polls looking like this. Nat started out with Marvel and Star Wars so a lot of her fanbase are big MCU + SW fans So chances are that's going to show on polls

Chun

Then please allow me to explain my logic. I am completely open to the fact that there are plenty of people who would prefer JJ. It was a good series. Arcane however has higher reviews across the board, had the highest viewership in the world for its release weeks on Netflix, the story is certainly up for opinion but when comes to animation, Arcane has been revered by my peers (I would in a production company) as an animation and editing marvel. JJ does not have the above accolades. That being said, when numbers are skewed one way over the other that goes against the wide reception, I don't think it is unreasonable to think that not seeing Arcane COULD be a reason why. Hence why I said "I can't help but think (that's the case)..." There are still plenty of other reasons that I am completely open to and accepting of. It was just my take.

Bou Sculpts

Regarding Arcane I'm just really scared for Natalie, since Riot public is always pretty toxic and after what they did to other reactors, I'm just biased towards NOT recommending Arcane to reactors, despite how good of a show it is.

Brian Kidling

Arcane fans are toxic. We see it here in just the polls

Brian Kidling

Yep, Marvel rules them all. Its the best fanbase and honestly it gives half of more of the reactor community their jobs. Almost everyone blows up on their watching the MCU series

Brian Kidling

I was really hoping it was blacklisted after the last poll.

Brian Jones

Let's be honest, in Nat's polls, if it's Marvel or Star Wars, this is almost always the case regardless.🤷

Dustin

So Jessica jones is probably the better option. But you could also possibly do both and treat arcane as 3 movies. Each 3 episode arch could be one movie and then it’s out of the way.

Eryk Klukaczyński

JJ (S1) would be very good show but there is so many filler in the middle, just too long because there was contract for 13 episodes so they had to do 13 episodes but there was only concept for around 8-10 so we have boring middle. This is the problem of most netflix Marvel TV Shows except Daredevil. Sorry for my english its my 2nd language.

Letícia

Nat if you're seeing this get away from the comments, it's really annoying in here

SLAPAPOW

You're glad you never saw a show because you don't like it's fans? Weird.

Brian Jones

@Luis Santos - "They act like it’s only strictly marvel on here too. Being blind to the fact that she’s also watching Euphoria, stranger things, edge of tomorrow, pirates this Friday." That's more than a tad disingenuous Luis. The point being that if Euphoria had been in a poll against any Marvel property, it never would have existed on this channel. Same could be said for Edge of Tomorrow.

Eduardo

I love how I'm seeing more people complain about "toxic Arcane fans" in the comments than actual toxic Arcane fans. Every comment I've seen here has been pretty mild.

Jordan Love

Ok, so I love Daredevil but I'd argue that Jessica Jones is actually a better show. Part of the love for DD is because of the amazing fight choreography and cinematography and Jessica isn't a martial artist so you're not going to get that. What you are going to get is a fantastic story with amazing actors, a more interesting and scarier villian and characters whose motivations and decisions make total sense based on their backstories. DD is a hero because he "loves this city" and Fisk is a monster because he "loves this city." JJ has characters who are who they are because of their past, their trauma and because of who they are at their core. I watched the 1st ep of Arcane and felt 'eh'... I figured I'd get around to the rest at some point but so far i couldn't be bothered, and thanks to the toxicity of its fans online I can't say I'm any more motivated to try.

LightsCameraJake

If you end up watching Arcane be mindful. Two reactors I know stopped posting the show to youtube because of how toxic the fan base is in the comments. Bullying, threats of violence, insults. It's bad.

Hiisnoone - DarrenO

I love both, but would prefer Arcane. It is a powerhouse of writing and imagery. Jessica Jones is awesome too and I will happily watch either.

Richard Orr

I go for Jessica, season 1 was really good. Haven't seen Arcane so might watch that next, see what the fuss is about :)

Ilsuk Yang

As much as I love JJ, Arcane is better in every way (except, possibly, the villains [season 1 only])

Jordan Love

Good, I can't wait till she watched Iron Fist, esp Season 2, love me some T.M.

Jordan Love

@Luis They should really just relax.

Naw

Arcane sux Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

Ginbug

I love Daredevil and JJ but let’s be real, Natalie could use a long Marvel break lol would love to blow through Arcane and revisit JJ when the burn out isn’t so bad

Rosanne Stewart

I have been looking forward to Jessica Jones!

Jacob Derr

Rabble rabble rabble

Jordan Love

@Chun My all time favorite movie is Cannibal! The Musical and my second favorite is Psycho Beach Party. I couldn't give 2 s*!ts what is more popular with reviewers or has more awards.

Eryk Klukaczyński

WoW! What is going on I heard about toxic Arcane fans in comment, and there is only a people that says things like "It's a pity" on the other side I see people saying "So many toxic fans of Arcane I Watched 1 (!) episode, and it's boring". As a Fan of both Netflix Marvel shows and Acane I wonder who is more toxic in this case. You know it's okay for u all prefer. Sorry for my English is my secondary language. Ultimately we'll see both shows I hope, and it should it for everyone.

Edgar

People saying Nat should avoid arcane because of comments and its community fanbase. If thats the case then she should have never even started star wars or mcu, lmao. Avoiding piece of media because of its fandom surrounding it is dumb as fuck . It has no actual bearing on quality of said piece of media

John

I didnt even know Arcane was that toxic for commentors lol. Ive only watched Your Internet Mom Ash react to it and comments seemed fine. So im sure Nats will too lol. I personally dont have much of an interest and rewatching JJ, it was fine. But I think Nat will get way more out of Arcane in terms of things to commentate about. But it looks like the people have spoken lol

Bou Sculpts

Go check the first comments of this section. Down here you're seeing the reaction to those. Yeah, I gess calling "fanboys" to those voting for JJ and complaining because JJ is ahead is just their way of being mild. Hating on Disney is the new cool thing to do, but it's not just on this comment section. Even if JJ is not Disney per se, it's Marvel and that's all they need.

Jess E

I love Your Internet Mom Ash!

John

lol wow, yeah their comment was SO toxic. People like you are the reason we cant use the term toxic, gas light etc. You misuse and over use. They were literally just stating how much more they like Arcane over JJ. Not even toxic the way they were saying. Just pushy lol

Robin Downey

Look, both are excellent. It should be noted, however, that appreciation for Arcane may require being a fan of anime and/or dystopian fantasy; Jessica Jones is more "accessible" and especially so for someone familiar with Marvel comic tropes. Also, JJ is just an extraordinarily well paced and acted entry into the filmed Marvel universe. I'd steer toward JJ. You'll get exceptional quality in either choice.

Kevin Mowery

You must have mixed the weeks when there were people saying that, dammit, they pay Natalie's salary and so she's basically stealing their money if she doesn't watch Arcane, or the time a guy posted "Arcane" in like 100 separate posts in a row under the same video.

Wex

These two are so close, I’m guessing Natalie is going to end up following one up with the other.

Eduardo

If you think saying "there's been an oversaturation of Marvel content" is toxic, especially compared to "Arcane sucks it's a boring show", then I don't know what to tell you lmao.

Brian Kidling

Haha. Seems like itll lose again and hopefully never comes back

Brian Kidling

The arcane fans are much, much more toxic in here and previous polls

Rich House

Did you just upvote and agree with this Brian after spending the last half hour writing comments complaining about how toxic Arcane fans are? Apparently all the toxic fans could avoid engaging with this but you can't quite control yourself?

Bou Sculpts

If JJ wins, it will be posted 1 month after the DD finale. 1 entire month with no Marvel content, just Obi Wan, Euphoria and Stranger things, with movies mixed in. And even if DD is Marvel, just like Moon Knight, the tone is completely different. It's a completely different mood. 1 month is a pretty generous time lapse for a reactor that mostly grew with MCU if you ask me.

Brian Kidling

% makes it appear closer than it is. Its really a 100+ vote lead for JJ

pedantech

There was one guy that created a bunch of accounts and spammed comments until he was banned. Forevermore there will be people that claim all Arcane fans are toxic as a reason to vote for their favorite show when Arcane is also on the poll.

Brian Kidling

The OG comment here is literally mocking Nat's intros? How is that not toxic?

Chun

Not telling you what you should like my dude. This is a poll conveying numbers. I'm just giving a take on why these numbers might be in contrast to a wider scope of numbers outside of this audience. Like what you wanna like. I'm def not saying you should love or even like Arcane. I think I am allowed to at least point out why I think one IP to be stronger than the other.

James Leighton

Hoping for Sandman to make an appearance on a poll soon. Such a good adaptation of the source.

Brian Kidling

There is someone a few comments above literally mocking Nat's intros because Arcane is losing. Its a toxic fanbase full of kids because a cartoon is a kids show. Gamers are just kids who dont mature so its a double dinger for arcane

Bou Sculpts

@Brian Kidling you're no better than them. Grow up. Complaining about toxic fans while being toxic. What are you, 10?

Ginbug

I mean fair and valid but at that same note I think it’s only fair that Natalie should branch out and find other genres or content to react to as well. Marvel content is finite (to an extent), she will run out of things to react to eventually, and by taking a month off she can prolong the journey. At the end of the day it’s what she wants to do, but personally I’d appreciate seeing the content branch out a bit more and Arcane would be pretty uncharted territory for Natalie and most likely other viewers.

Joshua Kon

Unless something changes in the next 1000 votes, which I dont think it will, JJ will win. I have to say outside of 1 user in the last poll most the toxicity scene has been from the Marvel sides in these comments. I came back expecting to see it be the opposite but its so sad to see :(

SLAPAPOW

I haven't dissed anyone. I just think Arcane is a masterpiece and would love to see what Nat thinks of it.

Eve

It's really not surprising seeing people say that after what happend a few polls back when Arcane lost

Rich House

I think there has a been a noticeable Marvel burn out for a lot of people since phase 3 ended. I'm hoping Wakanda Forever will be as good as it looks like it will be in the trailer but I don't think it's a coincidence we are revisiting old Marvel content now

Joshua Kon

@bou Ill be honest it was refreshing this month to have new content. I wish we could of had 1 or 2 more before diving back into the same type of shows. But I understand her base came from marvel so itll make a lot of people happy if JJ wins

Joshua Kon

For english being your 2nd language you killed this comment with quality. I agree 100% with you

Joshua Kon

I love ash!!! Comments there were anything but toxic

Bou Sculpts

I wouldn't even mind her watching Arcane (toxic fanbase aside) since it's a limited show, much shorter, and one of the best shows in 2021. But Marvel is not making it easy for reactors, they are pumping out content at an extremely high rate. And going with Marvel is always the safest bet for her, at least, for now.

Jayson Phillips

how about a tribute to ONJ and watch Xanadu?

Rich House

Ultimately regardless of whatever side it's on it's always only a few people

Brian Jones

@Luis Santos - I didn't mention Stranger Things Luis, but since you brought it up it's a great example given it's insane popularity, and you're kind of making my point for me. In a poll against a Marvel or Star Wars property, sadly it's likely that just about anything else is going to lose. Point being that the only way one of those shows is likely to end up on the channel is if Nat specifically goes out of her way to add it on her own, or it wins another poll unrelated to the Disney IP's. The end result being that smaller unknown shows will in many cases be tossed by the wayside and forgotten regardless of how good they are if they are put up against those IP's.

Bou Sculpts

Go back and check the first comments. Everyone watching Arcane losing, and calling fanboys to those voting for JJ just for having a different opinion. I would call that being toxic, don't know about you. Hating on Disney and Marvel is the cool thing to do now, we know it.

pedantech

I wish that were the case. My bet is she'll watch Jessica Jones only. Hopefully Arcane makes it on a future poll, but a single person that spammed comments in the past has forever tainted people's perception of Arcane.

Joshua Kon

@boubI have gone back to the beginning. Id say you and brian are the biggest toxic ones here. You arent near brian bad but still not good

SLAPAPOW

"It's a boring kids show" You can just say you didn't watch it lmao

pedantech

@brian I'm not seeing that. Most of the toxicity I'm seeing is people complaining about Arcane fans. Aside from that, everything looks pretty calm.

Marty McGee

Pretty sure he's in the first episode. And yes no doubt he's a villain from the beginning.

Bou Sculpts

@Eduardo don't try to ignore the "damn all this Marvel fanboys all they want is Marvel" coments. Bashing on JJ as a series, just because they prefer Arcane. And it's not just 1 or 2 comments that I cherry picked. Hating the popular thing is the cool thing to do now for the people with edgy kid personality. And I'm not bashing Arcane fans. I'm bashing those that think the only defense for a product is bashing on the other one. JJ is winning and will probably win. Those guys need to deal with it. Oversaturation of Marvel? There hasn't been any Marvel content for the past month. Most of us that prefer JJ over Arcane VASTLY agree that Arcane is an amazing show, but for one reason or another, right now, we prefer JJ.

Armando Castillo

Daredevil season 2! After Jessica if she wins the poll

pedantech

@brian actually, I don't think you see it here in the polls. You see people complaining about Arcane fans being toxic, but you don't see Arcane fans being toxic any more than Marvel fans.

jamie jones

Jessica jones season 1 then daredevil season 2!!

Jim Gooch

I love both these shows, but I joined hoping to encourage Arcane. I'll watch them both, and I'll be happy. I hope you have good moderators to avoid spoilers. I will encourage all of your viewers to watch Arcane and don't get discouraged by the horrible track record of videogame to TV show/movie adaptations. This show is amazing. Easily one of the best shows of this decade. The show has basically won every award it's been nominated for.

Micah Zimmer

Uh, the OG comment makes no mention of anyone's intro. Edit: oh, I guess you meant the imitation was mockery. I don't see that at all.

Bou Sculpts

Daredevil won the poll against Stranger Things and she went for Stranger Things after DD season 1, so what you're saying makes no sense at all.

pedantech

@brian would you please just give the OG comment a fair look. Try to think about what they might be thinking without any malice intended. It looks to me like they're a fan of Natalie's and are using her intro in a playful manner. They're advocating to a reactor they love about a show they love. It seems to me you want to see toxicity, so you see toxicity everywhere.

Bou Sculpts

Just for pointing out that Riot public tends to be pretty toxic in general, as they have already proven with other reactors? I have not insulted anyone and argue treating everyone with respect. I have stated my reasons without calling anyone names. Having a different opinion does not make me toxic, sorry :). PS: I have even pointed out how much of a child that Brian is being.

pedantech

@bou OK, she did that once. Maybe she did it multiple times. I don't think that's the usual way of things. And one example doesn't make my comment nonsensical.

calum1

Just watch daredevil and bin every other marvel tv show, there’s no necessary overarching story lines or good tv, they’ve all been cancelled. Just watch arcane and stop listing it in the same polls as marvel shows please cause the marvel fanbase is so toxic and blindly loyal to all things marvel that they’d vote this show over nearly anything in the world although most thing are better quality

Rich House

What happened to imitation being the sincerest form of flattery?

Joshua Kon

People like what they like. No need to label any giant group of people though. It only adds fuel to the toxic arcane fan comments they make. We are all better than that.

Jacob

I'm another person who really wants you to watch Arcane (best nine episodes of television in a long time in my opinion) but Jessica Jones season one is also incredible

Bou Sculpts

@Joshua Kon This isn't toxic either, right? There is quite a lot of comments like this, but I guess you chose to ignore them. Only "Marvel fanboys" are toxic here.

Micah Zimmer

There's heat from everyone at this point, Bou.

djKENTO

“they’ve all been cancelled” Meanwhile Rosario Dawson just let it slip that they’re working on Punisher…

Marc Beijleveld

Putting anything else against a MCU related show/movie is just a waste of a poll at this point imo, they will always have the numbers no matter what. And the MCU fanbase has been getting progressively toxic and manipulative in the comments lately, but they will get their way purely because they have the numbers. Really enjoyed the last streak of reactions without MCU content for a change, so can't ask for more from Nat. And will still enjoy her reactions no matter what anyways ^^

Austin

Yeah Marvel has the toxic fans, you say as you generalize a group of people to defend a show you like, therefore making you sound just like the toxic fans you're putting down.

jamie jones

Whats toxic is lashing out cause what you like is not winning. Jessica jones is way better than arcane.

Bou Sculpts

Iron Fist will not win if it ever comes as an option. You can quote me on that

Joshua Kon

This is a toxic comemt bou but not surprised you are here being more toxic too.

Brian Jones

@Luis Santos - "she still decided to watch the show." ^^Making my point for me.🙄🤦

Joshua Kon

She did it previously with Avatar and Chernobyl

Richard Maurer

When someone says that Natalie needs break from Marvel what they really mean is "I'm not into Marvel and I want you to do something else" - which is fine, just be honest about it.

Eryk Klukaczyński

Well, As it wrote I'm fan of both series and this is what I see, I've come tho the comment of this pool end first few I've seen was like "Fans of Arcane is Toxic, They did something in comments in YT somewhere else and The fan base are Dumb". And you know what, It doesn't matter if I also like JJ or DD in the first few comments somebody tried to gaslight me, if this is not toxic then what is. Also, I don't have time to read all the comments under this pool, but those pro Arcane I’ve seen were only like people disappointment but not rude or anything. I don't know, maybe there are some rude comments here but those I've seen was that if I'm in fandom of arcane, I'm dumb because you know, let's put everyone in the same bag. Lastly I know LoL fandom is really toxic so some of those also are in fandom, but you know what, in another fandoms are also toxic people for example those who death threaten actress who played Reva form Obi-Wan tv series.

Caomhan84

I don't think Arcane fans are necessarily toxic, just a little annoying since they spam every poll of every reactor and every comment section on YouTube. It gets a bit....much. I mean, I was disappointed that Nat didn't watch Legend of Korra, Because I truly believe that she is missing out on something that she will really enjoy, but I'm not going to go on every poll and talk about it. Arcane fans talk about Arcane constantly. Everywhere. I wish they would calm down. But I don't think that what they're doing is really "toxic". That word is thrown around a lot these days and it really doesn't apply to most of the situations.

Rich House

I would guess a month after JJ is finished at this rate, although quite likely add another month for some horror shows during Halloween season.

SLAPAPOW

Sandman is great! I hope it catches on with reactors.

Austin

yeah so you're just commenting to complain and sound toxic yourself lol, you don't get to decide if other people enjoy a show as much as you or not.

jamie jones

Anyone who claims someone is toxic for how they vote in a poll is in fact the toxic one. Trolling is toxic yes, but labelling a fanbase toxic for not voting for your preference is not toxic and saying so is pathetic.

ㅋ

It’s just a bad joke putting marvel next to anything in a poll the fans would probably ask for an entire mcu rewatch before voting for something else

Richard Maurer

@Dan Erikson - I'm a Marvel fan and I couldn't agree more. If you judge a entire fanbase on one toxic fan (and he was very toxic, to be fair) you might as well consider all fanbases toxic, as they all have some asshole fans with big mouths.

Brian Jones

@Bou - I don't know about that one. You might end up eating those words my friend. Luis is going off about The Inhumans. You may very well be underestimating the "fanatics".😏 I'll give you 3 to 1 odds depending on what it goes up against.😏

Marc Beijleveld

Okay you might just be right on that one xD, but that is the lone exception. Btw ive watched %90 of all MCU show and movies and enjoyed most of it, so i can understand why people love the universe. But i am just hoping for more diversity so we do get a chance to watch things like House of the dragon and The rings of power when they come out for a change.

pedantech

OK, maybe she's more likely to do it than I thought.

Bou Sculpts

You could have said you don't know what toxic means. Can you point the part where I was toxic? And by toxing meaning insulting, demeaning or harrassing someone, not just disagreeing.

Ginbug

Sorry to say but in this case you couldn’t be more wrong lol I’ve seen every MCU title several times over (including the Netflix runs and JJ) and have been a huge fan since phase 1. The MCU actually is what got me into reading the comics and enjoying Natalie’s content. I just appreciate when Natalie can watch something else for a change and with Arcane being a limited series I would just like to see her knock it out before getting back to the MCU. It’s not like she’s never going to see JJ, at this point she pretty much has to, which is why taking the time to do a smaller show would be refreshing. But that’s jmo

pedantech

I'm just frustrated that one guy did something bad once and now everyone who likes the same thing must pay. It put me in a pessimistic mood.

Marc Beijleveld

@Austin Cahill you are the perfect example of what i am talking about. Nowhere in my comment did i ever state that people can't enjoy these shows, and seeing as i myself have enjoyed many MCU content that wouldnt make much sense to say right? It is just a fact that MCU fans will leap to defend their universe and instantly negatively react to anyone who does not think we need to watch yet another MCU show. Some of us just want diversity, is that so hard to understand? Instead blindly calling my comment toxic? What about my comment is so toxic to you, please do explain?

Brian Jones

I think it's likely we will get HotD regardless. Probably Rings of Power as well, although I'm not too hopeful for that one given the disregard for lore. Just have to see how it turns out.

Richard Maurer

Now we have the "Marvel fans are toxic!" crowd here. The same crowd who, after watch the Netflix shows in order won a poll, cried and tantrumed about how it wasn't fair. And of course if you defended the winning option then "YOU'RE THE TOXIC ONE!"

Marc Beijleveld

Sad but true, props to the Marvel marketing team these people are worth their weight in gold.

Myles Away

Well, that's too bad. I am a Marvel fan but Arcane is like a million times better.

Marc Beijleveld

I have the same worries about the RoP aswell, but i am trying to remain optimistic atm :p .

Austin

Hey josh, learn to scroll up and reread these comments. All the Arcane fans are throwing a tantrum cuz their show is losing, should I explain how voting works? You get one vote, then your pick wins or loses. That's it, no need to cry cuz your anime isn't winning a poll lol.

Brian Jones

Yeah, I'm totally openminded about it. I'll watch it and decide. Some of those SDCC interviews didn't give much hope though.😏

Austin

Also not my job to cultivate an audience for Natalie, stop being so dramatic. I pay and I am entitled to an opinion just like you.

Marc Beijleveld

The amount of mental gymnastics one has to do to arrive at such a conclusion and statement is mind blowing.

Ana Fox

Oh no, Arcane is brilliant, though 🥺

JarHead0351

sorry neither of these two are interesting to me - I just skip it and wait for your next show - Dr, Who or True Blood or The Sopranos

pmuser

I hope you get a chance to watch INVINCIBLE soon... :)

Marc Beijleveld

I have finally watched the Sopranos 2 months ago, utterly brilliant!

Austin

Actually it isn't mind blowing, you must have a pretty small mind if my opinion hurts your head so much.

Bou Sculpts

It's not just about 1 guy. It's that guy+other 2 reactors having a bad experience with it+knowing how the League of Legends community behave.

Jordan Love

I get Marvel burn-out with the movies and Disney+ shows (I really wanted to like Ms. Marvel but there wasn't much new or interesting there and there really could have been; hoping She-Hulk will be as different as it promises to be) but how exactly is Jessica Jones "the same type of show" as anything else Natalie has watched in the MCU? Sure it's 'gritty' like Daredevil but DD is a street fighter/work your way up to the the boss battle/tortured hero kinda show and JJ is a *spoiler*/*spoiler*/*spoiler*. Find me anything else in the MCU that looks and feels close to Jessica Jones and I'll eat my hat.

Maxwell Hunter

OHHMAN I'm rootin for that Arcane. One of the best animated series premieres of the last decade.

SmokeAndACoffee

There are only two types of people I refuse to go on a date with: ones that believe the Zodiac signs actually effect your personality, and Arcane fans. But I'm a Libra, and we're just picky that way

Brian Jones

@Luis Santos - Hey now, you're the one that fell for the election joke. I almost went with "those damn M-She-U fans", but thought it would be too obvious.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Jordan Love

This is Marvel, cancelled doesn't really mean what you seem to think it means...

Jordan Love

I know I want to see her watch all the Defenders shows, including Iron Fist. Sorry, not sorry.

Myles Away

Nat is an intelligent person who enjoys the craft of filmmaking and storytelling. Arcane is a 10/10 for both. It is easily one of the best animated properties this century. I stumbled upon it a few months ago randomly, knowing nothing about the game and a limited anime knowledge, and I found it brilliant.

Brian Jones

"You’ve been saying anything going up against marvel in a poll is gonna lose." Of course I believe that, because historically that's always been the trend on this channel Luis. Again, thanks for making my point.😏👍 "So comparing it to the 2020 election means you actually think the election was rigged. " No, it means I was baiting YOU Luis... Just YOU.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Steve SG-1

I feel like Natalie will pull an executive decision and choose Arcane if it loses anyways. And then follow up with JJ right afterwards.😂

pedantech

@Bou MaryCherry is partly to blame for her situation. If Natalie watches Jessica Jones and plays with her phone and dog more than she watches the show, she'd probably get a lot of negative comments too. If people were insulting MerryCherry's intelligence, that would be wrong, but she definitely deserves some criticism. I can't say anything about the other reactor. I don't even know who it is.

Marty McGee

After the mediocrity that was the first season of Wheel of Time, I'm not too optimistic about Rings of Power on Amazon. Especially with the rumors about them consciously disregarding the lore. Also, I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the GoT ending. And not too interested in the Targaryen history. If Nat decides to react to those shows, I'll probably give them a go too though.

adrianR31

Arcane was a monumental achievement in animation. Jessica Jones is a Netflix marvel show that got canceled with 3 others. You've already seen JJ without even watching it. Nothing new or exciting.

Micah Zimmer

Brian Jones

@Hold Your Fire - Meh, I'll give any show a shot. I just won't hold back if it's bad. GOT was a whole lot of quality with a final season that was a rushed mess. But I wouldn't let that last season ruin the rest of the show for me. There's far too much good there in the way of character development and storytelling. Even the later seasons have their standout moments. Hopefully HotD is more like the early GOT stuff rather than the later. Fingers crossed on that one.

Bou Sculpts

"Got cancelled" because Disney got the rights back and they are goint to continue on their own platform now. Arcane is a masterpiece indeed, you don't need to bash the other option, i'ts great on its own. It's even worst if you try to devalue it by using misinformation :)

Second_Strike

As somebody who absolutely loved Arcane and found Jessica Jones to be just okay...god half of these Arcane fans are insufferable.

Micah Zimmer

There's no need to be disingenuous. I like both shows. Netflix took the Marvel properties they had and made some deeply grounded shows that were relatable and dark, which was a much different experience coming away from the optimistic and humor-filled movies they had/have. The choices listed in this poll are both good ones, and she'll watch both eventually.

PiratedTVPro

Arcane is shorter and better.

Marc Beijleveld

In terms of hope of it being a great show i am like a 8,5/10 for HotD and a 5,5/10 for tRoP. HBO has proven time and time again they know how to produce great shows, and this show and the story they are telling have been overseen by GRRM personally, so no dumb D&D stuff and alterations to the story that ruin the show hopefully :p. . Amazon on the other hand has a long way to go to proving they actually can consistently produce good content.

Mike Hell

Oh good lord here we go...

J

How the fuck is Arcane STILL not going to showed 😫

J

U marvel lot need a day off i swear

Ginbug

I’m just confused why people are fighting so hard in the comments. With JJ it’s not an argument of if, it’s when. With Arcane she very well could choose not to react to it at all. So why are so many people surprised that Arcane has support here? I get someone was a real jerk (and that’s me putting it lightly) about arcane in the past but if Natalie honestly wants to watch and react to it, what’s the harm?

Brian Kidling

Here they come. Toxic arcaners.... J are you akiro?

archie castillo

ARCANE pls. Watched it with zero knowledge of the game and lore, and still had a blast.

Brian Kidling

They were cancelled years before disney got the rights back. They were cancelled because they cost too much and the quality went to poop.

Brian Kidling

Kids will be kids, gamers will be kids too

Chun

In this case specifically, my wife knew nothing of League or its characters. She happened to thoroughly love Arcane and eagerly awaited each act. We also fully enjoyed JJ while also really not knowing a thing about her. I think both series have merits to those not in the know. Arcane for us just had the bigger impact and look forward to seeing Nat's reaction.

Brian Kidling

We dont need their toxic fans here to be justified

Bou Sculpts

They were cancelled because there was no time to film, produce and publish new seasons before losing the rights. Daredevil S1 to S3 is awesome, as is JJ S1 and S2 nad Punisher S1 and S2. Luke Cage is pretty entertaining, but Iron Fist is a pain to watch, no matter how big of a fan you are. Defenders was pretty entertaining too, and since it works as a link between DD S2 and S3, it's definitely worth the watch.

Michael GP

Only ever watched Arcane because I saw people requesting it in the comments on your patreon so many times and I am so glad I did! It is one fun insane ride. I hope it finally wins!

Ginbug

By that same logic, Natalie shouldn’t react to Marvel or StarWars given they have a bad history with toxic fan bases. I think she should watch and react regardless of fanbase because every property has toxic fans.

leon davis

I'm probably in the minority here but I don't think you should pick up another TV series I'd rather see more movies from you

Arronax06

Out of curiosity, which reactors are those?

Ginbug

Okay, but where is that here? There is a direct poll pinning Arcane against a marvel title and the vast majority of Arcane supporters just leave comments about preferring it over JJ, that’s it, some even admitting it’s a hard choice between the two. Maybe a literal handful say it’s not as good and that JJ was canceled anyway but I really am not seeing anything toxic coming from Arcane supporters here. My original take still stands, every fandom has toxic fans, but I don’t think that’s a reason to say Arcane should never be on the channel.

Rich House

When you have people like Brian attempting to pre-emptively amplify a minority of over zealous fans of Arcane to label them as toxic I don't think you are ever going to see fair representation

Edgar

For such a fun channel and how sweet and just wholesome Nat is. This comment section is fucking wild. I had no clue how obnoxious some of you can be .

Nico Votocci

Right??? Like, she'll probably end up watching both eventually anyway does it really matter which one is first?

Gilbert Gonzalez

I highly recommend The Terminal List on Amazon Prime, top notch show and you get another side of Chris Pratt that you haven’t seen before.

pedantech

I'm 90% convinced that there would be no talk about toxicity if you weren't here stirring people up.

jamie jones

They were cancelled because netflix and disney were partings ways, the deal was marvel gets the rights back 2 years after cancellation. Brian why are you blatantly lying?

MightyHobo

This is coming from someone who has no interest in League or any MOBA and loved Jessica Jones: Arcane should win. It’s fun, dramatic, engaging, heartbreaking, thrilling, and beautiful all in a perfectly paced and concise season. Literally the only problem it has is waiting for the next season. Either way though I know I’ll be happy with the winner.

pedantech

@luis she deserves criticism for charging for content (Patreon) in which she payed less than 50% of her time watching the show. If you went to a concert, and the singer, who normally puts on a good show was instead standing there sending text messages for half the show, you should rightfully be able to criticize the show. That's not "wild".

collegeguy6377

Not again... not like this... Arcane is a masterpiece :'[

Marc Beijleveld

50% of comments are garbage from you Brian, what is wrong with you?

Brian Jones

Pardon sir, but that is entirely not enough rabble.

N G.

Coming from someone who just finished binging all of daredevil, punisher and loki... Arcane is getting the short end of the stick, lets be real. that show is what, 9 episodes? how many episodes does Marvel have with all the stuff we want Nat to watch? exactly. no contest. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but it terms of pure content hours and trying to support the other members of this viewing community, what's so wrong with putting Marvel on hold for a few weeks?

Smoolio

Don't lump us all in with one person

Adam Baker

I am so unbelievably sick of Marvel but I hope you all have fun. I'll be here for Stranger Things and whatever else comes along.

Smoolio

Thanks for lumping us all in with 1 guy :(

Anthony Kolbe

Yeah I mean people are allowed to like and dislike what they want with no judgement from anyone else, but to call Arcane a "kids show" either means you did not watch it or were not paying attention. Just say it wasn't interesting to you and leave it at that.

Smoolio

JJ is a great show also, so I'm not too sad to see Arcane lose to it. But if Arcane loses to Iron Fist... then the Marvel above all else crowd are just mean.

Smoolio

@luis, wow hadn't heard of that. Which YouTuber if I may ask?

Brian Jones

I think it's fair to say we can retire the word "toxic" after this comment section is closed. Between people who clearly don't know what it means using it as a go to over simple disagreements, wildly varying interpretations of it's meaning, or just the sheer excessive usage of it, we should probably just put it out of it's misery altogether.😂🤦

Hairy Potter

Seems like JJ will win this poll. Even though I am looking forward to seeing DD s3 reaction sooner, Arcane is a pretty short series that it's doable in a short interval. Unless the plan is to put Arcane right after JJ, then never mind.

Brian Jones

But much like you just pointed out, it's usually just one idiot taking things to those kinds of extremes, not an entire fanbase. Marvel fans are fine, and I'm sure most all of us have enjoyed something that company has produced. I liked season one of Jessica Jones. Just not quite as much as I liked Arcane. You can't really go judging any entire fanbase based on the actions of a few bad actors, unless of course you're talking about Obi-Wan apologists. In that case, yeah, they're abhorrible.😏 Sorry, had to do it.😂👍

GoodDocGonzo

I've seen LOST literally a dozen times, but would be happy to start it over and watch it again with Nat.

Thomas Richter

now that you watched Obi-Wan, which was not a very good show (if it wasn't for the last episode it would be garbage), you can maybe do a reaction to the best thing that came out of that show. Larry, from Auralnauts. a youtube series with 3 episodes so far.

Caomhan84

Arcane has now lost multiple polls, And to be honest I couldn't make it through 2 episodes myself, But perhaps she just needs to make an executive decision and watch it at some point so it doesn't keep losing. Or maybe do what other reactors do, put all the "serial losers" in a hat and do a random draw. Maybe that's the fairest way?

Riolkin

I can't wrap my head around it either. I've seen some utter bullshit in the comments on here before. I don't get why people feel so entitled. This is the only person I've ever paid for a subscription to, but if Nat watches something I'm not into I just don't watch it with her. And if she has nothing on her schedule that I'm interested in, I could just unsubscribe for a month or two until she is. At NO POINT will you see me throwing some entitled hissy fit because she hasn't watched "my" show, (which for the record would be 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency', but that's probably not going to pull very much money on her channel so its a stretch) I thought people enjoyed watch-along reactions because it was like showing your friend your favorite movie for the first time but without getting a guilt trip for staring at their face the whole time to see their reaction, lol.

Fostena

Come on. No one likes Iron Fist :D

Fostena

Arcane is losing the polls because when it came out it was so overpraised people got sick of it. She will watch it sooner or later, I'm sure :D

Richard Maurer

Oh, I can answer that! It's because it got out-voted.

mrhalfbit

Putting anything else up against Marvel is pointless Nat. Please stop with so much Marvel content. We need variety and more films.

The Guy on the Couch

OR it was the tool with 20 alts who acted a fool in the last poll Arcane was up for vote

mrhalfbit

Like, anything Disney/Marvel is always gonna trounce everything else in the polls, it’s truly unfair for anything else in the poll. I know it sounds like we feel entitled, but really I’m just sad.

mrhalfbit

Like maybe put Marvel up against Marvel? Or Disney up against Disney? Idk.

Richard Maurer

Apparently she can't do a poll with both Arcane and Marvel in it without it turning into a shitshow.

Bou Sculpts

When 55% of the people vote for Marvel content, it looks like your phrase "we need variety and more films" doesn't hold up that well. I'm sure Nat will know what to do with her content, seeing what a large followage she has gained over the past couple years. And we all know she'll end up watching Arcane sooner or later because it deserves it and it's a widely praised show. Maybe she'll use it as a break between JJ and the next Marvel content, who knows?

jamie jones

Your logic is flawed, inhumans would not win any poll. It comes down to quality. Here the higher quality show is winning. And when you say ‘we’ need variety, well the collective ‘we’ have voted.

Eric Janssen

If you're watching the depressing ol' NCU, and pretending it's MCU, you ARE pitting Marvel against Marvel. And "real" MCU wins most times.

Jimathai

ohhh this is a tough one... was just thinking I can't wait for you to watch Jessica Jones... but Arcane was one of the greatest pieces of art I've ever seen. JJ is no slouch either though... but for me... ARCANE!

Bou Sculpts

I wouldn't say JJ is better than Arcane, since they're pretty different. There's no point in making comparisons. I just think there's still hunger for Marvel reactions, and even more if it's still high quality shows like Jessica Jones

Richard Maurer

To the people saying we should vote for Arcane because it's shorter - wtf? Why should I vote for a show I don't want to see just because it's "only" 9 episodes? What happened to people just accepting their show lost, with maybe some minor griping. Now every time a show loses people want to overturn the poll results.

mrhalfbit

That 55% is the one that is always catered to… that we is the other percentage that needs variety. We want something different. What I don’t understand is why Disney/fans always feel the need to attack those that are merely voices our opinions on what we’d like to see. I’m just voice my strong opinion about this channel that I absolutely love and I’m getting attacked.

mrhalfbit

Cool, you pick a quality outlier in the MCU to prove that my point is wrong. Cool.

Bou Sculpts

If you felt anything I said is an attack to you, I'm sorry but that was not my intention. I just said that in these polls, the reactor can clearly see the interests of the people. And I'm sure she sees people REALLY want her to react to Arcane, but she can also see MOST people want her to react to Jessica Jones. I'm just saying that phrases like "we need variety" should not be used to voice your own wishes.

Brian Jones

Thanks for pointing that out, I got a kick out of it. Stormtrooper barbershop quartet FTW.

Nick James

All the marvel fans are the ones subscribed to patreon right now this isn’t fair for the Arcane fans but just hoping you watch it at some point

Nick James

NEED a break from marvel, love marvel but god damn

Judge Dreddpool

unfortunate you didnt stick with it since episode 3 is a pretty heavy episode and the series only gets better from there. I would recommend giving it another shot but you do you fam.

CJ

Arcane is incredible!

eemersonm

Love both Arcane and JJ (s1) but I've been waiting for your reaction of Arcane with such excitement because it provides so much for your commentary. Pretty sad it appears I will probably have to wait a lot longer. :(

Rich House

Agents of Shield did lose to Chernobyl and ATLA. In fact it lost to all 5 other options now I'm looking back at it

Caomhan84

Two episodes is my rule. If I'm not grabbed in the space of two episodes I don't keep going. I mean, it's like The Expanse. People love that show but I couldn't make it through the pilot. And most recently, The Terminal List. There are so many good shows, both past and present, that I don't believe it's worth it to keep watching something you don't enjoy. Nor do I believe in "hate watching" something you actively dislike. I simply didn't connect with Arcane. I didn't care about the characters or what was happening, although the animation was beautiful. So I didn't continue.

Daniel Vezina

Sad to say, but Arcane is never gonna win a poll, even though it's the best animated series ever. It's as much a masterpiece as "Everything, Everywhere all at once." Even if some hated the other choices, they're not gonna vote for it, The Troll incident a couple of months ago sour the hype. I think if you really want to react to it, you're gonna have to make a decision like you did with Euphoria.

Eric Janssen

My English teacher used to have a joke: "I am giving you, on the first day of class, seven exclamation points, to last the rest of your life...Use them carefully." And in the same spirit, I now give you seven "Ever"'s, which are to last you the rest of your adult life.

Joshua Kon

To be fair its been over a month since DD ended, so there has been some break too it.

Brian Kidling

To be fair, Natalie did state on her stream today she is tired of having to watch X show before Y show and getting into a cycle of needing to watch a bunch of disney/marvel shows. So maybe she is tired of having to do it

Brian Kidling

I caught some of Natalie's stream today. She did make a comment about the tiring nature of having to watch X show before season 2 or 3 of Y show. I see her point. Its 1 thing for 2-3 hr movies but its a whole other for 10-12 hr seasons of a shows.

Ryan

As someone who loves JJ season 1 and thinks it’s one of the best things Marvel has ever made. Please watch Arcane.

Saifu

No need to rush watching Arcane. Season 1 only has 9 episodes and Season 2 isn't happening for at least another year or so.

Fostena

What? :D I missed all the drama!

I don't think it's the troll incident alone. Arcane fans are everywhere online. Absolutely everywhere. They are on multiple reaction channels. And they're all, all constantly talking about Arcane. It could be on a random movie and there will be comments saying "please watch Arcane." "Watch Arcane!" "Arcane is the best show!" I believe this has fueled a backlash against it. People are just tired of hearing about it. I heard about it endlessly until I finally gave in and tried to watch it and couldn't finish it. Honestly I think you guys need to chill. She knows about it, she knows that it has a passionate following, if she wants to, She will watch it. Continuing to talk about it on every comment section is just going to turn off more people.

Bou Sculpts

That's why, being reasonable, some people recommended her not to watch the entire Netflix Marvel shows, because it can be a drag, and a real pain to plow through. She enjoyed Daredevil? Great, she can watch S2, Defenders after that (missing some character exploration, but really not needed for Matt's story) and then S3, and move on. I still think she'll enjoy Jessica Jones a lot. And I know she'll love Arcane too once she finally gets to see it.

mrhalfbit

Sorry if my statements feel heated, I am in fact heated. I feel everyone should be a little more civil here in this comments section and that starts with myself. But my feelings are in fact valid, and so are yours. Peace and Love. Sorry.

Ryan

That was an incredible adaptation! but I don’t see it becoming fodder for reactors for a while yet. Sandman is gonna have really break into the zeitgeist before it’s a viable option for the bigger reactors.

Daniel Vezina

Thank you for proving my point perfectly. 1st who cares about others reactors comment section, 2nd it's a poll with Arcane in it.

Brian Kidling

Actually, 58% (very close to the 55% in this vote) voted for her to watch 13 seasons of Netflix marvel in a particular order. SHE CHOSE NOT TO DO THAT, the patreon community did not win that vote.

Hunter

You’ve had a LONG run of marvel content and it won’t stop because it’s good. But you NEED to watch arcane and it’s waited long enough! Better storytelling than anything marvel has ever done, the characters are amazing and even the villains are compelling! And the art style is top tier! You could cover Arcane in 3 episodes, and then go back to the inevitable Marvel Netflix train 😁😁😁

Brian Jones

@Eric Janssen - I think I would have told that English teacher to "Get Fucked!!!!!!!!".😏

Nick James

yes I'm happy for that but there are so many other good shows other than marvel

Brian Kidling

Okay lets not go too far here...

Ben Wheeler

Not to change the subject but if we ever get around to the Predator movies I just found out the new one on Hulu has an option to watch with a dub in Comanche so that’d be pretty cool

Nick James

Arcane was made as 3 acts (1-3) (4-6) (7-9) so you missed out on the finale of the first act. But tbh I'd say the first 2 episodes were the weakest of the entire series.

Hairy Potter

Hopefully you will give it another shot, if and when Nat starts the series. It's a really good show that drew inspiration from the game and, unlike all its other video-game inspired series, it has an actual story in it. Personally, episode 1 was fascinating to me because I was trying to place the characters, and episode 2 was just preparation for episode 3. So yea, episode 1 and 2 aren't the most exciting ones...but it gets good!

Nick

And as an added bonus it's actually a good movie. The Comanche dub is a great feature

Nathan

Oh no... the Arcane fans are gonna rage again

Hunter

When you’re talking about a 9 episode series that covers a large amount of characters, it does an incredible job flushing out most characters and character arcs. Marvel movies usually flush out maybe 1 or 2 characters in an entire movie. Collectively, marvel has told a great story but had been given 20+ movies and various tv shows to tell their stories. I’m absolutely a marvel fan, their one of the most rewatchable pieces of media, but I think pound for pound, arcane as a whole within only 9 episodes will trump season 1 of Jessica Jones for the sake of entertainment.

Joshua Kon

Prey was amazing, wish I could of seen it in theaters

tezster

I'm pleasantly surprised JJ is winning, for Arcane fans (of which I count myself as one), hear me out: Sooner or later I feel like Natalie WILL watch Arcane, regardless of this poll's result, so it's better JJ to win this poll because it's easier for it to get passed over and forgotten if it gets pushed back on the watchlist, whereas Arcane has a lot of more popularity and harder to ignore. Vote for JJ and everyone wins.

tezster

IMHO it's only a matter of time when Natalie watches Arcane (even if it loses this poll). Let Jessica Jones have its moment in the sun. If it gets passed over now, who knows if Nat will ever get back around to it.

Matthew

I missed it, too, but in the overwhelming amount of comments her polls seem to generate, we're likely better off it getting buried.

Stephen Switzer

Voted for arcane but I don’t have a horse in this race. I’m just here for Nat’s entertaining personality whatever gets watched. <3

Sam

Might as well hold off on Arcane until it's second season drops. Will get more viewers that way as the youtube hype train has sort of left.

Micah Zimmer

...because that's the American way? (This is a political joke, just ignore it)

Gomi

How about Dark? One of the best shows I’ve seen.

Sam

I mean I watched Mary's reactions and I can also confirm she was having an actual hard time paying attention (more than any other reactors I've seen). Also GETJaby did a reaction to Dark and the two guys were roasted in the comments constantly for not taking notes/paying good enough attention, then decided not to continue watching the next 2 seasons. Its not a 'toxic fandom' thing. If reactors aren't paying attention, forgetting big plot points etc in ANY fandom, the reactor is going to get hateful comments regardless.

Jordan Love

Some people just like to watch the world burn.

Daniel Vezina

@Brian Jones, couldn't have said it better.

Daniel Vezina

She's watching Netflix Marvel shows, JJ will get its moment in the Sun!!

Daniel Vezina

I guess that you're new here, Marvel always get the 1st vote, so unless she makes an editorial choice, we're not gonna see her reaction to Arcane until season 2 air.

Daniel Vezina

Are you saying Patreon is Democracy... LOL

Daniel Vezina

It's those who are against Arcane that are the most toxic. All Arcane fans are doing is praising the show, most of us are even saying that JJ is 1 of the best Netflix Marvel's one, while those who are against it are some of the meanest people I have ever seen on the Internet. But we are the BAD GUY. We just like good content, and sadly Arcane is 100 times better then JJ, even if JJ is favorite Netflix 1.

cupsy

I know Arcane isn't going to win, it's almost unfair to pit Arcane against anything Marvel as this channel is practically founded on marvel content, which i love and enjoy. But Arcane is truly something special and something that won't take as long as Jessica Jones and/or the rest of The Defenders series. I also am of the opinion its of much higher quality than JJ. I think the fact that the poll is 45 - 55 at all is a testament to how good of a show Arcane is.

Forever FIlm

@Luis Yeah I can second this. I signed up for her (Mary's) Patreon when I saw arcane was on the roster. Then watched the first three episodes and she was completely lost. Not because of intelligence, but because she was texting and just not paying attention. She 100 percent deserved criticism for bad content. If you make bad content and you are an internet personality it comes with the territory. Now I don't know what was said in the comments on YouTube because she disabled them. If it was derogatory comments yeah that's ridiculous. But imagine your favorite movie being reacted to and the reactor put little to no effort into watching it. IE texting 3 minutes into the show while important dialogue is happening. You absolutely deserve to be called on that. Anyways most fans of any fandom are great. But every culture Star Wars, Marvel, etc... has 2 percent of there fans that you wish you could Thanos snap out of existence. Lastly both of these shows are fantastic. Arcane is a 10 and JJ is a 9 IMO so just vote and respect the vote.

Josh Noe

For the love of God, she has so much Marvel content already. Arcane is objectively one of the best animated series ever released, and denying her another chance at starting it just so you can get your Marvel boners out for the millionth time is kinda cringe.

Jenny Tolls

I’ve never seen Arcane but I feel so bad for the people who keep asking for it lol they’ve been asking for like a year. And every time it comes up on a poll it usually places second lol

Brian Jones

HBO definitely has the better track record, and I would agree that Amazon has certainly been hit or miss. Wheel of Time was a dumpster fire and Carnival Row was pretty bad as well. Electric Dreams wasn't a bad premise, but the production value was trash. But then there's middle of the road stuff like Terminal List, or Jack Reacher, and Good Omens. And then there's some pretty exceptional stuff as well, like Invincible, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Expanse, Bosh, or The Boys. So for me it's not necessarily as network specific, and I'm not so much concerned about the fact that it's Amazon. What really concerns me about tRoP is the specific people running the show. It's just starting to look like they have no idea what they're doing, are just manufacturing their own random fantasy show and slapping the Tolkien name on it while having zero respect for the lore. But again, I'll reserve final judgment until I see it.

Smoolio

We're forever the bridesmaids never the bride T_T

BJ Stephens

What's cringe is how poorly your reacting towards this vote. There are a lot of Marvel things I would vote for Arcane over, JJ season 1 isn't one of them.

Josh Noe

There's probably 100 hours of Marvel content here already. While you may be in the minority who would vote for something other than Marvel, you know damn well that's a small minority. No need to try calling me out for something that's 99% accurate just because you may be in the 1%.

Brian Jones

I honestly don't see any toxicity in the comments at all. I don't see anyone going out of their way to specifically insult any individuals. I don't see any crazy name calling or wildly inappropriate behavior. I just see two sides that both feel strongly about their shows. But damn if I don't see a whole lot of people using/over using/and literally beating to death the word "toxic". It's as if it's the only thing they can say to describe a difference of opinion regarding a show. Or the only word they can seem to come up with if they happen to take offense to something. I think it's pretty clear Nat will eventually get to both of these shows, and hey, they are both great shows (well, at least S1 of JJ, I can't say the same for the other seasons. But hey, I can't say anything regarding S2 of Arcane yet either, as it doesn't exist.🤷), so the whole thing is kind of a wash for me as it's just basically a vote to see which season of good TV we get a reaction to first. I voted for Arcane, but I'm fine with either result in the end. Arcane is too popular to fall off Nat's radar anytime soon. If it were something more obscure I'd be a bit more concerned about it. In this case I'd just advise patience.

simon.shoots

Arcane for the love of god, Jessica Jones can come next! (theyre both great)

Tesh

Arcane is only 9 eps long, its really worth it, and as much as I also love the defenders tv verse and Jessica jones specifically, Arcane is truly unique, both in art style and premise, the world is so interesting. arcane is also super easy for you to group for youtube, it was released in 3 sets of 3, 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 were released at the same time.

Daine

Its time for Arcane... plss :( JJ is good but it aint no arcane

Logan Kerlee

lol, let them. I voted for Jessica Jones and I'm thrilled that it's winning. I'm stoked to watch it. Arcane is a brief show that I honestly can go without watching (again). Jessica Jones will be fun! :) Always down for Marvel.

Richard Maurer

I thought of the same thing the moment I wrote that last sentence.

Richard Maurer

I would definitely vote for Iron Fist over Arcane - just to be mean.

Derek Little

Really torn here, as both series' are great..but for different reasons. Looks like JJ is going to win, so I hedged and plumped for Arcane just to make it close, as I'd really like to see a reaction to it as well..definitely the best thing Netflix has done for a while IMO.

PickettsChargingPort

For the cringe factor, alone. Don't take that the wrong way. When I was a young teen I was infatuated with her. That movie, though. At least the music was good

PickettsChargingPort

I made it to episode 2, though I intend to watch the rest. I didn't stop because I didn't like it. It's just that the end of episode 2, without giving spoilers, sort of broke my expectations. I was dredding what happened after that.

Bou Sculpts

What's kinda cringe is an adult male throwing a tantrum because the option he voted for and prefers is not winning. "Marvel boners out for the millionth time"... smh. Learn to keep it civil, comments like yours are a clear example on why Arcane's public can be so toxic at times.

Kev Martin

Toxic is possibly even challenging Gaslighting for most misused (and least understood) word.

Mr Booligan

Breathe deep, people have different preferences. Additionally trying to make your subjective opinion an objective fact is silly. Vote for what you like but keep it respectful because clearly not everybody shares your opinion

Richard Maurer

Yes. Toxic does not mean "I don't like your favorite show, I want to watch show X"

Kirby

Arcane is so good ;-;

Micah Zimmer

@Luis It's been stated the reason she was being criticized is because it seemed like she wasn't paying attention. The youtube crowd didn't get the context of her distractions via pet and phone (which were edited out for youtube), which made it seem like she just wasn't watching the show (which doesn't make for a good reaction). It doesn't excuse the insults, but it does help show why the youtube crowd might not get why she was confused at all. Although, if it had been posted to youtube without editing out that context, I'd wager the backlash would've been unfortunately even worse.

Alvin Baca

As a marvel fan I feel spoiled lol. But i just want to request that you watch man of steel a DC movie because its my favorite comic book movie despite superman being my least favorite character. I know youd love that one.

Scott Lindsey

So far the poll is pretty close to 50/50 on a channel that grew on Marvel content and JJ is a good Marvel show. That should tell you something about Arcane. My vote is to knock Arcane out in a couple weeks, 2 episodes at once twice a week then move on to JJ's 13 episodes.

Travis Starnes

There's also a chance that some of us don't love anime and have no interest in Arcane, but do have interest in Marvel.

Rich House

That seems like a terrible idea. Doesn't fit with the release structure of the show, and I think Arcane can benefit from a slower release schedule imo. 6 years of production deserves better than trying to bang out 9 episodes in 2 weeks

jamie jones

Good. It makes more sense to wait for season 2 when the show is trending again.

Josh Noe

It's not a subjective opinion btw. It won every single Annie Award (the Oscar-equivalent for animated works) it was nominated for (9) which has never been done before. I didn't say it was the best, because I haven't seen everything, but if anything ever sweeps it's major yearly awards ceremony, it's pretty safe to say it is one of the best pieces ever made in that category. You're just trying to make it personal. Anyone who felt attacked by my comment likely falls into the group it was attacking.

JarHead0351

9th Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston (2005)

Philip Davetas

I can only vote on JESSICA JONES. I haven't seen ARCANE.

Koren M

Let’s watch something original!!

Xenic Mark

Lol, to be honest I mainly watch these for Nat's reaction. So as much as I'm a bit disappointed that she's not doing Arcane now its all good. My only worry now is all the comments pushing for Arcane will either get really annoying for her or set such high expectations that when she eventually watches it, she wont be that amamazed.Which is honestly such a shame. That said, maybe these polls should be for monthly content. That way everything gets sorted out at the start and those who feel like they arent geting what they want get a chance to just opt out and the rest of us just go on to enjoy content peacefully. The nagging is just too much.

Bou Sculpts

Cinema/TV is a type of art. Art is subjective. Don't try to stretch it any further my dude. Have you even considered some people are not interested in animation alltogether, no matter how good it can be?. Just like someone may not be interested in romantic comedies, action movies, superhero movies etc. It's not that hard to understand, don't try to twist it around. It's not working. Or simply, they want to see Jessica Jones first. What role do you play in League btw? I'd bet an arm you do play it pretty often, being so bitter and so quick at attacking others. You sound like a jungler.

Bou Sculpts

Same thing happened to me. My friends set the bar SO high that once I saw it, even though I fell in love with the art style, my final reaction was "it's good, definitely, but overhyped". Some people need to do a Larry David and curb their enthusiasm.

Bou Sculpts

@Daniel Vezina Agents of SHIELD lost to Stranger Things so your point is not valid.

Eric Janssen

Fans at the moment ONLY get their cartoons from streaming, and streaming, like cable, has atrophied into only one style. So, naturally, the "This is the Best Ever, because I just started watching it!" gets unnaturally hormone-pumped into extreme reactions. Let's just say that every time I hear fangirls trying to make every single person in the world watch Arcane, Steven Universe or Legend of Korra, I challenge them to quote a classic line from a Chuck Jones cartoon--Kill the wabbit, pronoun trouble, Hassan chop, ANY line. They usually argue and say "Well, that's your generation, ours is more enlightened!"...But they haven't quoted one yet. 😛

Anthony Jackson

Arcane is a short show and season 2 won’t drop for a year or so. Jessica Jones and all those marvel shows are WAY better to watch one after another, not once you’ve forgotten potential cameo’s. Personally I think you should watch all the Marvel shows, if you enjoy them, and are a true fan! You would love it. And most people would love watching them with you, even the people who may not favor one of the shows over the other. Thanks Nat for the awesome choices

SilverWolf

I'm really looking forward to you watching Arcane, but for real, if the crazy apples in the bunch or ruining it or even overyhyping it, take your time. My biggest hope for you is you just get to watch it as a regular viewer and I get to see your thoughts :P One day it will win a poll and then you need to watch all of it before you read comments XD Or get someone who's already watched it to answer genuine questions but not give opinions :)

SilverWolf

Yup! And it's really not netflix, it's Riot Games and their partner Fortiche in France who really made it pop. I'm glad Netflix distributed it but just wanna give the great storytellers and animators a shout out :P

SilverWolf

Haha, thanks! I know, and it keeps being up against other really good shows! Like i'm not surprise Avatar won or Daredevil, little bummed about JJ. Maybe she'll see it on the 1 year anniversary... :P

Rich House

I don't understand Eric, it's all atrophied into one style but you list 3 shows with vastly different styles then proceed to list 3 Chuck Jones cartoons (to prove how uncultured these fans are?) which obviously all have identical styles? Have you even watched Arcane, Steven Universe or Korra?

PickettsChargingPort

I haven't seen too much of that, at least not yet. Mostly they are disappointed it's not winning, a few outliers notwithstanding. I don't much blame them for that as they have an obvious passion for it, and it keeps losing. Full disclosure, I voted for JJ but would be ok with either.

Derek Little

No worries, it;'s a very good point. Better to say it's the best thing Netflix has distributed in ages!

addnid07

jessica jones season 1 is one of the best marvel tv show. it's so great you should watch it.

KeithJ

Jessica Jones does not disappoint!

warcrimes

JJ went 3-4 eps too long but is solid otherwise

RebRox65

I love Jessica, she’s so bad arse, season 1 is the best but it’s brutal watch

Sinewmire

Jessica Jones was solid, Arcane is the best TV I've seen in years.

Tim Ostipow

Dealing with the league of legends fan base is not worth watching Arcane. I know of other YouTube reactors who started watching it, and we're basically bullied off of their own page simply for having the opinions about the show that they had.

Smoolio

Really? Never saw anything like that in the dozens of reactions I've watched of it. May I know the names of some of them? Genuinely curious.

Tim Ostipow

Mary Cherry for one. She had to make the rest of her Arcane reactions for Patreon only after so much hate from the fanboys.

Rich House

We will never know how rude or not they were since the comments have been removed, but I think this is a scenario where the truth just hurts, and when you pay no respect to the material you are reacting to people aren't going to be inclined to sugar coat their responses

Tim Ostipow

Victim blaming? Really? Thanks for proving my point, I guess.

Rich House

Seriously? I'm not saying she deserved any hate but if she got valid criticism then that isn't people being toxic. If you want to say there can't be good or bad reactions then I guess you could say she is above any critique, but I strongly disagree with that.

Tim Ostipow

It's the whole "we don't know what was said" part, then immediately jumping to the conclusion that the content creator somehow disrespected the show. It's a helluvan assumption. Especially since she was enjoying the show.

Rich House

I know from watching most of the reaction on Youtube she didn't follow the show very well. Someone here pointed out in her full reactions it was clear she wasn't paying much attention for good portions of the show which lines up with why she probably didn't follow it so well. And in her own words of her response she was looking for a short easy thing to film, of which Arcane turned out to not be the best choice. I'm happy she enjoyed the show but I would say not being fully engaged while watching it isn't exactly a sign of respect. If I'm massively wrong on that then fine, but I haven't just made assumptions out of nowhere, and I think I've been fair. I did not say there weren't any rude comments, but the fact no one can even see the comments just makes painting an entire community as toxic with a reference to them even more unfair.

Tim Ostipow

I follow Mary, so I have a pretty good idea of what transpired. And honestly, regardless of how she received the show, no one deserves to be insulted and berated for having a different opinion about art. League of Legends is infamous for it's toxic player base. It's not unfair to assume the show would follow suit.

Rich House

I agree no one deserves to be insulted or berated on their opinion of art. Are you intentionally starting new top level comments instead of leaving replies or is that accidental?

Tim Ostipow

I'm on my phone. The only icon that comes up for other people's messages is the heart to like. If I hold down, I can copy text. There doesn't appear to be a reply button at all...

Tim Ostipow

I guess I can reply to myself? Is that what you mean?

Rich House

Yeah, I just looked at the mobile app and it isn't that clear but that is what I mean. It's just honestly you've taken the most bad faith interpretation of what I had said, wrongfully accused me of victim blaming and seemed to be trying to spread it across as much of the comment section as possible so it is very difficult to not get frustrated with that.

Tim Ostipow

"We will never know how rude or not they were since the comments have been removed, but I think this is a scenario where the truth just hurts, and when you pay no respect to the material you are reacting to people aren't going to be inclined to sugar coat their responses" This IS victim blaming. You blamed the creator's hate comments on her not paying attention. You flat out state we will never know the comments. Meaning, you don't know what was said. Then you assume that the scenario happened because the reactor "paid no respect to the material", which you don't know. And now you deny your own accusations, while also being upset at me for simply making comments. Sorry I'm not some patron app expert. This is why I usually don't make comments on things like this. But I felt that Nat should be aware of how much hate she is going to invite by watching this show. And then you come in and literally prove my point several times over. Regardless, I'm done entertaining such an obviously toxic troll. Your account says you don't support anyone on Patreon at the moment anyways, so what are you even doing here? If I knew how to block you, I would.

Micah Zimmer

You can set your memberships to a "private" status so people don't see who you patronize.

Rich House

I meant people aren't going to sugar coat critiques, not the same as condoning hateful comments. Not victim blaming, I have not condoned hateful comments, I explicitly agreed with you on that in a previous comment. I didn't insult your ability to use Patreon, I even checked the mobile app and agreed it wasn't very clear to use. I don't think I've been toxic, in fact I think I've been extremely measured despite you seeming to want to escalate things. And obviously my patron support is private, I wouldn't be able to comment here if I wasn't a Patron to at least Nats channel. Sorry we've had such a bad interaction.

BING BONG

both are great season 1s!!!!!!!!!!!

Edward Rahardjo

I agree, Dark is the best completed Netflix show out there. It has a bit of Stranger Things and a bit of The OA, just very good storytelling all around. And the mysteries for the viewers to unravel, make you hooked to binge all episodes in no time. Casting was also really well done, most actors performed well, but the consistency was what sold the story. And as I mentioned it has a beginning and satisfying end. Unlike some other great shows (House of Cards, Game of Thrones, Lost, Dexter, Westworld etc.)

Luck Dragon's Lair

I will say I know LoL players have a culture of toxicity in many cases... but I've only seen positivity from all the Arcane fans, which by no means are limited to LoL players :) Fans of the show have been amazing :) Not saying your experiences aren't valid however... I just haven't seen it myself. :)

Javier Vara

I mean, I'm a Marvel fan myself and all, but I really don't see the point in polling MCU stuff with literally ANYTHING else in this channel, if the thing is MCU stuff vs any other thing just skip the poll, go ahead and schedule the MCU stuff and save the time. And I don't mean to be toxic or anything, it just got boring like 10 polls ago to see anything MCU related just bash any poll, really don't see a point in polling for something everyone knows beforehand. I think it'd make more sense to just guess people will want to watch the MCU stuff and just make polls for everything else, in this channel there literally can't be a "fair" poll between MCU related content and any other content, so I can understand why people can get frustrated.

Jackson

Knowing how much you love character driven content, I know you’d adore Arcane. After sitting with the first season for almost a year, it is definitely the best show I have ever seen despite knowing absolutely nothing about League of Legends beforehand, and I don’t say that lightly. I really hope you’re able to get around to it, it is truly a masterpiece. From the camera work, groundbreaking animation, attention to detail, breathtaking scenery, compelling voice acting, nuanced characters, and overall unpredictability are all just an 11/10. I can’t rave about this show enough. Unfortunately, from what I’ve heard fans of League of Legends are known to be quite rude to people with different opinions or thoughts. However, those brought together by the show itself are so invested and passionate and kind. I really hope that if you watch this show the haters don’t get you down, because after watching your content for over a year, I know you’ll love this show too.

Cameron

Arcane is a masterpiece.

SweetsourGamer

Arcane is one of the best tv shows I've ever watched. Actual masterpiece.
