And that's hardly my fault.

I reiterate them because someone has to, I shouldn't stop just because it doesn't work.

Who knows? Maybe everyone will stop letting other people's opinions offend them. Because believe it or not, you shouldn't be offended by an opinion, because it is just an opinion, and nothing you do or say will change that in most cases. Who cares if he thinks EMH is shit? EMH doesn't need his fan base in that case. Let him squander his time on some other free entertainment.

The Criticism Consensus

EverymanHYBRID: Likable characters but boring videos, lame execution, and convoluted story.
TribeTwelve: Amazing effects but lame acting, slow pacing, and they copyed MH in the beginning.
MarbleHornets: Great excecution but slow pacing, lack of ARGness, and unrealistic nonchalantness.
Other Vlogs: They have their moments, but most copy the above three and spam their videos with the same mysterious letters, operator symbols, and TTA style videos.

I think EMH was, is, and will be great. I love the plot, and it really had it going with the Letters, Rake, Slendy, and breaking Damsel out of jail. Then of course crazy Evan with the knife talking to himself. HABIT was epic at first. Buuuuuut, the huge problem I have with the series right now, is that for those of us who weren't able to get in the trials, it has been extremely boring. When the trials are over, the and the series picks up again, I will run back to it. Right now, MH and TT have me hooked. Mainly MH.

There has been some great points in replies here. Nightmare complex is correct to say you shouldn't be offended with an opinion. That's all it is.


In the reference to the Cloverfield ARG, that was in my opinion a great ARG. The difference I find is that ARG in comparison to EMH is that it had smooth progression. Slusho-Tagruato-Tideowave-Jamie and Teddy-etc. It had a nice flow. EMH spawned a bunch of side-youtube sites, twitters, blog sites etc practically all at once which hit the observer (me) too quick for my taste.

the last point someone brought up is that EMH, TT and other don't want to step on the toes of the slenderman myth. What I'm saying is these spin-offs SHOULD take the step forward on the myth. There is no copyright issue here. If EMH identifies Slenderman as say the devil's assistant and TT indentifies Slenderman as a ghost, that's fine. That's the key.

If the consensus on EMH says that their videos are boring, then I've lost hope for this fanbase entirely. I will support them on my own, with my fists.

And I will raise my hands above us, EMH shining in the sun

Compared to Lost, this is nothing. This series is fun in my eyes and I like the direction it's taking, whatever direction that is. These days, if you can keep my attention long enough, then you're worth it.

Too much stuff in EMH, really? But, on the flip side, if the story was simple everyone would be complaining how simple it was. IMO I prefer more complex stories. Makes a good ARG, too.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion so I won't rag on anyone for saying they think EMH is boring or don't like it. However I do want to throw my two cents in about it being too complicated or hard to follow. It really really isn't. There aren't THAT many elements. And since posting here has seemed to be less frequent and crazy in the last month or two (may or may not be correlated to the amount of updates but even with the last two videos there hasn't been much discussion.) it is now much easier to just pop over here and check out the news thread for updates on new videos and new developments. It's also fairly easy to just make a folder of bookmarks of all the youtubes and the wiki and whatnot and check things once in a while. And to be perfectly honest, you don't need to look at all of it all the time. If you check out the news thread here and follow the main Youtube channel, you're not likely to miss anything.
