For me it’s Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that’s sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.
But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.
His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.
So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren’t supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.
We didn’t subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.
Skallagrim! I am subbed to him also.
He is and has always been the weird metalhead kid in high school who is really obsessed with medieval weapons and not very socially apt. I don’t mind his takes personally.
It’s off topic to the rest of the thread, but I also want to point out that LGR has been consistently good for more than a decade.
Channels that are in the process of going down the tubes would include Skeeter Jean, Jidion and Predator Poachers. which are really three flavors of the same thing but they’re all going downhill fast - although Predator Poachers (or more specifically, the guy behind him, Alex Rosen) has always been a scummy person.
I think Skal has been struggling to figure out ways to squeeze blood from the stone that is his entire channel topic. It must be challenging as fuck to draw out more video ideas on swords and weapons when you’re also struggling personally with your health and money, but he seems a genuinely nice dude with progressive values so I will continue to support him.
I used to watch him and Shadiversity but holy shit did Shad take a nose-dive, what a fucking piece of shit and I hope he chokes on his dumb fucking red gambeson as his channel flames out.
