 		It doesn't have potential because they're kids, it has potential because it's watchable and quite put together fairly well. The camera distortion is nice and subtle, which is a welcome change, even though it's probably because they don't know how to do digitalized effects particularly adeptly. Them being kids just makes it more impressive.

Really though...do you guys get off on being destructive critics or something? We're just acknowledging that they're not doing too bad, and that we are giving them a chance. Where's the harm in that?

They're kids, bro. >_> Give 'em a chance. I reckon they're doing great.

...The fuck's a dog card?

They only be kids, but they will get criticism no matter what.
That's a pretty minor angle, if you ask me. Also, don't you like TribeTwelve? That rips off MarbleHornets a shitload and is written by an actual adult. I'd say it has a lot less of an excuse to rip things off than this does.


Well you are half correct, and by half correct i mean wrong.
Tribetwelve was leaning towards MH at the beginning BUT it has stepped up its game when it's user got some feedback. And stepping up its game is a bit of understatement. As far as effects goes, it took all other series and crapped down their mouths.

They may still be kids, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be ready for some criticism. Slender Man is NOT Arts and Crafts time, and I DON'T want these kids to water it down to something PG......like AMVs *shivers*

If you are giving these kids more credit than the TribeTwelve guys, you are a sad, sad individual. Ripoff or not, TribeTwelve is very watchable and entertaining with much more to offer and has already deviated from their prior mistakes. These kids have no promise. I'm still laughing that you're giving the kids a chance! I GUESS YOU REALLY ARE A JOKER, AREN'T YOU? Laughing


These kids aren't good by any means, I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy in his insults. I think TribeTwelve is pretty bad, though. They haven't deviated from shit. He got away from the MarbleHornets style introductions, yeah, but there are still a ton of things he's ripping from MH.

This.

There's a whole thread on here devoted to voting blogs into a hall of shame, even thought they may or may not be new or just getting to the meaty goodness.


The hell, guys. Slendy IS arts and crafts.
We have a topic for Slendy arts and crafts right over there.

Like the sticking the camera in the front car windshield and watching the road while you drive thing?

Or the getting mail thing?

I was thinking more of the whole "Woah mysterious pills I wonder what they are" and "My friend disappeared and now everyone who knows him is disappearing suddenly" and "Woah disturbing videos are being sent to me/posted on my channel without my consent by a mysterious third party" angles.

So what if they did a few things that the first guys did? They still owned at making it entertaining and watchable, and that's why they have just under 3000 subs. You are one of the only few on here I see complaining about that fact. They're trying to be in the same canon, get over it. Plus, minus the pills bit, those quotations are all applicable EMH.

No, no they haven't. In fact, EverymanHYBRID has only done one of those things, and that's really the only other noteworthy sidestory besides TribeTwelve. Name some others who've done those things besides MarbleHornets, please.

 		Okay, yeah, there is MH ripping off going on (I lol'd at him using the whole 'walking my dog blahblah' thing almost verbatim), but for kids their age? This is pretty darn well done. Especially the way they shot their last video. That was clever, and actually got a reaction out of me.

Not saying this is fantastic or anything, but if they continue at any point (it's been a month), I'd maybe check it out again. I think if people just brought it up to them to try their own thing this could be interesting.

 		Heh. I actually really like the fact that I'm seeing kids in one of these vlogs for the first time since Slender Man was created, since his original story involved taking children away. Sure, lower quality comes from younger film makers, but honestly I think their acting is better than some of the older creators that I've seen.
