TGWTG Year 5 Wish List and Predictions

Let's start this blog with my thoughts on the new Nostalgia Critic...

AND I... Have none. Basically I don't care for Doug Walker as much as I did in 2009 or 2010. He hasn't put out a particularly great video since 2011, if that. Let me put it this way I'm not watching any of the new NCritic episodes unless they're really interesting. The only way to make it interesting is to review a movie that I remember, or to do a crossover with MarzGurl. But yeah, I'm not watching NCritic right now. So that was my final say on the issue and until next time, stay...




Oh you want my ideas and predictions for the upcoming fifth anniversary special for ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. Holly (the site webmistress) said that it would be smaller, but knowing the whole return of Nostalgia Critic and this being a landmark anniversary for the site, It can be something at least as big as Kickassia (the site's 2nd anniversary), maybe a little bigger. Demo Reel wouldn't have been worked enough to warrant a spot for the 5th anniversary because...


  1. It wasn't really that popular unfortunately
  2. It was big enough production-wise that it might as well match the bigger scale works on the site like the four anniversaries, Ed Glaser's work, and (While it was still on there) Reviewaverse Saga.


Point is that the special should be at the very most something not quite up to the scale of Suburban Knights, but something reasonably big for the 5th year of the site's existence. They could also do something something slightly bigger than the Year 1 Anniversary Brawl, but I'll get to that later.


The second thing I'll talk about is who will be attending? Well we all know Doug's the ring leader. Lindsay (Nostalgia Chick) will have an EXTREMELY HIGH chance of attending knowing her place on the site (and Blip). Shadow Todd has a special place in Blip's hearts so he's a good Possibility. Linkara and Brad Jones (Cinema Snob) are another two VERY LIKELY candidates because they're very big on the site (not to mention Brad lives in Springfield, Which is in the same state as Chicago). Angry Joe is the most iconic member on Blistered Thumbs, so he's probably going. Paw has been on the TGWTG Anniversary roster since day 1 so he's also a good possibility. MarzGurl is also one of the site's OG's, but her story's kind of funny, She did have one HELL of a year last year, so she needs a break from reality, but... she's got the FamiKamen Rider series coming up, so I assume she's going to be even more tired to add to an already hectic 2013, BUT (AGAIN)... she's a pretty hard worker, she has a day job, is currently working on a podcast, and is still doing her regular workload, so that makes her a definite maybe (AND TV TROPES, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY YOU DON'T WANT KAYLYN IN THE NEXT ANNIVERSARY). Spoony is a big bowl of of N and O (we all know why by now). Phelous... Well... I don't know that much about him. Film Brain... Yeah... I kind of hope he doesn't get picked because, well, TV Tropes said it best by saying he had so much development and screen time already (going from butt monkey to hero). Bennett the Sage is kind of hard to get a say on, Part of me wants him for being a part of the previous four ones, but the other part of me feels like his appearances in the four anniversaries was just there, Didn't have anything interesting to do or say, but he's a definite Maybe as well. JewWario Has his FamiKamen Rider (Which you may or may not see a review of from me of), then again Cinema Snob had his movie but he didn't have problems, even then...


  1. FamiKamen Rider has a Potentially bigger scale than the Cinema Snob movie
  2. Colorado is farther away than Springfield
  3. JewWario's in his 40s and Brad's in his 30s


So that also makes JewWario a potential Maybe. Lupa has a big following on the site, so she's likely. 8-Bit Mickey is probably not because the Game Heroes is done, what else can he do on the site. Oancitizen has his graduate project he's working on so he's a probably not. Luke Mochrie will probably get picked because Doug has a fondness for his work despite not putting ANYTHING on the site anymore (AND I NEVER REALLY LIKED HIS APPEARANCES IN THE LAST 2 ANNIVERSARIES). JesuOtaku is... Kind of a weird story. I want for her to be in it just to see what kind of chemistry she has with MarzGurl (IF SHE'S EVEN IN IT), but I didn't really like her appearance in To Boldly Flee, and as far as a prediction stance goes, If you look at her blip page, a lot of the stuff uploaded in the past 6 months is stream stuff or random side projects, Maybe if they notice, they won't pick her, but they probably will just because she's a big money maker (and she'll probably block me for saying all that). CR and SadPanda, I don't know enough or care enough about. That's just The main cast. Onto the potential newcomers.


Well, the newcomers are probably going to be...


  • Rachel and Malcom from Demo Reel and the new Nostalgia Critic (I think it's clear why)
  • ERod or the BlockBuster Buster (GOD I HOPE NOT, BUT KNOWING DOUG, PROBABLY)
  • Sci-Fi Guy (He probably will get that for an apology for his lack of screentime last time)
  • Maven/Elisa from Nostalgia Chick (She's grew so much in popularity she might as well) 


If I didn't mention someone, it's either because there's a good possibility they might not be in it, or their a side character. Also some of the possibilities might not make it, with it being a potentially smaller anniversary and all, If they were to make it that way, they'd only pick 10 to 15 members.


Onto the story, Well I have 2 possible Ideas for it, Go for the higher budget, and you could do a Supernatural/horror type story because that's basically the 3rd main genre of genre material (the others being Fantasy and Science Fiction, both of which are already TGWTG Anniversaries). If they were to go the smaller route, they could remake the TGWTG Year 1 Anniversary Brawl, just on a bigger scale and new members.  I think this because It is the site's 5th anniversary so you might as well go back to you roots, just saying.


Well that's all folks, Next time Something not about TGWTG. I promise.
