This guy is basically disliked by the everyone and for good reason. Im gonna try to refrain from just making fun of him and actually explain why he’s a bad reviewer as well as giving him advice on how to improve.

1. His Parasocial attachment to the cast. For some reason his dislike of the show turns into hatred and an odd obsession with Logan that just comes out sounding weird and something that a loser’d say. His judgments for the show turns into judgments for the cast members as people.

2. His response to criticism. For someone who wants his criticism to be taken seriously, any criticism given to him is repulsed and for him talked about endlessly with entire videos (that are members only for some reason) complaining about his haters. If you’re a content creator, you’re going to get hated on at some point. Just how it is, but there are ways to deal with it. The best way is to ignore it, or maybe make it funny. SML talks makes it into half of his channels catalog and it just gives the vibes that he’s incredibly sensitive.

3. His reviews themselves aren’t good criticism. Besides the other things I mentioned, his actual critiques for SML videos aren’t even fair or solid critiques. As someone who was also disappointed with Jeffy’s 22nd Birthday, there is a way to present that opinion and explain it without coming off as bratty or rude. He literally whined in his video about minor nitpicks, and tried to call out Logan for neglecting his audience? He refrains from mentioning positives and tries to undermine the entire video into his very closed lens. Instead, he couldve mentioned issues with Jeffy’s absence or brought up the missed potential in a way that doesnt attack the creators.

So that’s why I think no one enjoys his content, how he fails as a good critic as well as ways he could improve.

I had really high hopes going into this video. But tbh I was kinda disappointed. I’m gonna go in depth but I think this video is pretty mid with some really good moments throughout. Before I whine lemme go over the good stuff since there is a lot.

Pros:
The premise is fun and I like the idea of trying to save FeeBee on a time travel adventure. The jokes can be hit or miss but a lot of them did land especially when Santa said “shit” at the end was pretty funny. As well as everything with Stuart Little landed for me too. The special effects are great and the practical effects of the dinosaur is awesome. I also really like that this video ended the “explosion and fake Jeffy death” cycle for a more emotional ending without a forced villain. Which of course is the biggest highlight of the video, the scene of Jeffy seeing FeeBee one last time before letting her go forever was actually sad and the comments did talk about how it landed for them. The video is also consistently entertaining and doesn’t feel boring or fillery unlike some parts in Jeffy’s 21st birthday.

Cons:
Although the premise of a time travel is cool, I think we could all agree that having Does Bad Things Guy act as the main villain for this episode wouldve been so much cooler. Look I know I just said I don’t like forced villains and I like the lack of that in this video but DBTG had been built up, and since its technically his birthday too it wouldve been amazing to see him appear as the main villain. Ik these are just my ideas and not actual complaints, but if I could redo this video it would be Jeffy meeting FeeBee and Brooklyn Guy in heaven as DBTG causes issues on earth. Also, I think this episode should have been FeeBee’s return to the show. LET ME EXPLAIN. I know the ending hits for a lot of people and for good reason, but I feel like SML is missing out on a lot of potential for Jeffy’s sister to be a part of the cast and give Elaina another character in the main cast which she needs. Like she didnt need to also be sick and couldve returned so Elaina has another character besides the two most hated characters on the channel but whatever. Besides my random ideas and nitpicks, the real issue with this video is very obvious and extremely disappointing. Jeffy is absent for almost 70% of the runtime. In his own birthday video. That’s fucking crazy like how hard was it to put his ass in the car with Marvin and Brooklyn Guy. Jeffy’s absence is so noticeable and distracting it rots the whole video for me.

Overall mid tier Jeffy’s birthday video with high highs and really stupid lows. I give it a 7/10. Ik a lot of people are prolly gonna glaze for the ending but it doesn’t erase the issues this video has.

It’s crazy that tank top trunks which killed the androids never got a single premium unit in the game. Let alone a unit at all. So here’s my dream LR Trunks unit. The side sparking could be 18.

Blast Cover Change: Trunks dodges the ki blast by tilting his neck before he vanishes behind the opponent before landing a huge right punch knocking them far back which switches the camera to a POV of Trunks.

Blast Counter Gauge: Trunks rushes down the opponent, smacking away their ki blasts before landing a heavy right punch.

KO Guard: When the opponent grabs the enemy and is about to punch them, Trunks sends a long ki blasts before landing knocking them far away with an explosion at the end of it. Based on when Trunks saves the old man that 17 was about to kill. (The KO Guard is only applicable to allies tag “Future” to make it less annoying and unfair)

Green Card: Trunks falls down from above with his arms at his sides before the camera zooms out as we see the golden aura surround him.

Blue Card “Heat Dome Attack”: Trunks flies over to the opponent spinning them around before sending them upward. He then causes a dome of aura to surround him before sending ki upward.

Win Screen: Trunks stands with his left arm extended and aura flaring around him staring into the camera. (Based on the pose he does right after killing 18)

Ultimate Arts: Trunks flies to the opponent, kicking them before flipping up into the air and sending a Ki blast below which causes a huge explosion. (This is when the LF begins) Trunks vanishes around the opponent before catching their arm and kicking them back, then chases them down before landing his iconic “This is for Gohan!” blast.

Win Screen: Trunks, now in base form helps the old man stand up.

So this is based on the commercial Brooklyn Guy did in the wife swap video, but I think it’d be cool if they actually used the new editing to make a backrooms video. It starts with Junior, Joseph and Cody on the couch watching tv when they see a pizza delivery commercial so they order some pizza. That’s when Cody shows off a new machine that can jump into alternate realities, but after a freak accident Junior gets lost in the machine. Cody and Joseph have to go find him in the backrooms. Later Brooklyn Guy and Jeffy show up and also go into the backrooms looking for them. I like it when Cody and Joseph team up without Junior since we don’t see it often.

It’s just a lot more interesting and unique for the ninja team to include a robot as well as a ghost. It gives opportunities for Cole to have other abilities like possession or going through walls while being weak to water, it creates space for cool character development since Cole would have to come to terms with his ghost form and how it isnt a detriment. Also it would mean DotD wouldnt exist and in my opinion that’s a plus😭

In fairness I do fw his card art and model, but besides that horrible unit release. His kit is deadass everything wrong with 2025 units, and his animations are hella boring he doesn’t even use the spirit bomb. I guess we just got a spirit bomb unit but he has a boring ass Kamehameha LF and we get those all the time so it doesn’t really matter. Idk why they chose this moment for TOP, they couldve done a unique and interesting character that does not have a premium unit yet like God Toppo or even just a new LR Jiren. And reminder that SSBKK Goku from the Uni 6 Arc has NO premium units and this bum has 3???? Another slop boring son fam unit when it couldve been LR Toppo and Ultra SSBE Vegeta with a clash animation😭

In Season 4, Chen called Lloyd the “Master of Power”. But now in Dragons Rising they’re calling him the “Master of Life”? This shit makes no sense😭 Imo Lloyd’s elemental power should just be called “Energy” for simplicity also bc Lloyd has never commanded life before and power is a boring name for an element.

The 8th anniversary was my favorite celebration in all of dbl. From my favorite characters and moments like Gogeta, Broly, and Super Spirit Bomb, with tons of new mechanics and gorgeous animations this anniversary was perfect in my opinion. EXCEPT for part 2. LR Gohan and Trunks was overpowered and in my opinion wasnt a necessary drop for the meta (since future already had tons of buffs) and Shallet was literally reusing animations. Not to mention neither of these character have new mechanics. Shallet couldve had an ability to copy other Legend units Legend actions like Shallot does for blue cards. Here are 3 ideas for character lineups that they could’ve done for Part 2 instead.

1. Daima theme
   This is what I thought Part 2 was gonna be since LR Mini 3ku dropped instead of either of these characters which made all of us think this would be part 2.

LR SS4 Goku Mini
LR Third Eye Gomah

For mechanics, 4ku could have a version of FGB’s Assault Chain I’ll call “Rushdown” with it giving equal health to yourself that it does damage to the opponent. And for Gomah, I’ll give 2 revives similar to Metal Cooler

2. ToP themed
   A lot of people are saying that the new unit for the Afterparty (is it the Afterparty LR or did they not do it this year idk) shouldve just been in Part 2 and that makes sense since Shallet fits way better as a Afterparty unit.

LR Transforming Jiren into Full Power Jiren
LR Android 17 and Golden Frieza

I had an idea for a tag unit between GOD Toppo and Full Power Jiren, but 3 tag units in one celebration is kinda crazy. Toppo needs a premium unit tho.

3. Vegeta Clan/Super Saiyan theme
   So for this one, it’s kind of a mix between what a lot of people said they wanted for Part 2 at the time plus what I want personally.

LR Majin Vegeta
LR Super Saiyan Trunks

Ik I said earlier I didn’t want future buffs but this is one of the most underrated moments in Legends (doesnt have a single playable version of the tank top trunks that killed the androids) and it isnt Gohan😭

My favorites are a tie between Ultra Buu Bros and Ultra Red Gogeta Blue, both of them are some of my favorite moments in Dragon Ball and have insane animations and mechanics.

this is mostly gonna be about character choices and animations but I’ll try to include factors like the meta and updates throughout the celebration. (Best to worst/top to bottom)

8th Anniversary: This celebration was literally my dream anniversary. Best animations in the entire game, Broly movie and Super Spirit Bomb both getting rep?? Introducing 2x transforming characters, Ultra tag units, and a part one ultra??? Peak. The meta is balanced with multiple different teams active, and events are actually consistent and fun. Only issues are Part 2 since I lowk wanted Daima and besides that the issues with Shallet’s animations and legend tag Gohan and trunks being overpowered are prevalent. Minor issue, but I wouldve preferred if Part 1 had an Ultra Broly or if they were both 2x transforming Legends but either way I love red UGB and if any ultra deserved a remake it would be him.

6th Anniversary: I LOVE this anniversary so much bro. Despite the server and meta issues (ulthan😬) the new mechanics, animations, and the fact my goat Gogeta got 2 new units in one celebration??? So fire. Even tho the 8th anni has topped it, the part 1 at the time was undefeated. I don’t fw how they did FGB tho since he was weaker than fsv and gave him worse animations. Part 2 is where most of the issues are with this celebration, just Ulthan bro WHY WAS HE HERE WHO INVITED HIM😭😭 if he revived into Buuhan it would’ve been better, and also Godku was a bum on release too🫩 Besides that, animations, mechanics, character picks, this celebration was legendary.

Fest 2021: Ik this might be a hot take but I love this celebration. Sword of Hope Trunks was one of the most consistently useful and viable units for a long time and went 3/3 with really good animations but we’re here for the tag blue boys which is still one of the best reveals in the entire game and Ultra Super Gogeta who is still one of my favorite ultra units to this day with a perfect ink Art and ultimate.

5th Anniversary: This celebration is becoming nostalgic for me, first of all not a single bad part the whole celebration. This part 2 is still the best ever, and UVB is still such a goated ultra with incredible animations and Gofrieza getting a buff makes me think that the devs are competent (which they aren’t but they tried for once here). I love the Tag Gammas and LF Orange Piccolo, and I’m still waiting for them to get new units.

Fest 2020: Again y’all might hate me for this but this celebration has one of my favorite lineups ever with some of the best animations. I’m very biased towards the Broly movie, and UI Sign still has such a good LF bro these units were just so fire.

Fest 2023: The Part one with 2 LF’s was so memorable and even tho Part 2 with Goku and Bardock was kinda mid I can’t lie part 3 with an Ultra UI Goku was so hype even tho he got leaked.

Fest 2025: I’m very mixed on this celebration even now idk if it deserves this spot but i don’t think any other one is better than this. I love FSG even tho he shouldve had SS3 Goku and SS2 Vegeta fuse instead of them just being in base but whatever. Janemba did not need to be here imo, and Hitku despite being the most balanced drop in this celebration I’m lowk kinda mad about bc he was super underpowered in comparison to the rat and I don’t like 3 Goku’s in one celebration. Gohan was stupidly broken but at least he had good animations SS4 Goku was super disappointing imo, we waited for years for an ultra ss4 Goku from GT and they just made some bs with 3 Kamehameha’s and no longevity.

3rd Anniversary: HEAR ME OUT. Ik theres some big issues with this celebration BUT we got some of my favorite lineups with some goated animations. SS4 Gogeta, even tho he was underpowered had a really cool LF, Half Corrupted Zamasu’s LF is tuff ash, and revhan is still one of the best Gohan LF’s in the game.

7th Anniversary: I don’t like this celebration but it’s not all bad. Where were the zenkais??? Part One was leaked horrendously, Part Two had pretty boring characters that were again Goku and Vegeta as well as having no new mechanics (but they did ground battles which is crazy) and Part 3 had a horrible meta but still one of the best reveals in DBL. no new summon animations, the Afterparty LF had my favorite LF in the celebration, and they couldve done a LOT better, but I don’t hate this celebration. Serious disappointment.

Fest 2022: What the hell were they thinking not dropping LF beast Gohan for part one with Tag 4’s, and just not having a part 2??? Bro tag Trunks and Vegeta is so trash I’m crying nb fw them😭😭 UGB is hard carrying this celebration.

4th Anniversary: I think this is the last bad celebration before we get to the mid ones. MUI Goku leaked, Dragon Fist Goku reused a summon animation, and USV got countered by Cooler in a couple of weeks. Even tho there was a lot of issue icl this lineup was pretty hype and there were some really cool animations too.

2nd Anniversary: I know y’all are gonna be on me for putting this over 1st anni especially since LF VB dominated the game for months and part 2 was super lame but despite that I love VB’s animations and my bias of DBS Vegito over Super Vegito is 100% showing tbh.

1st Anniversary: Still one of the coolest reveals ever, and even tho Super Vegito’s animations are extremely outdated I still love the blue sparkings and this celebration really laid the groundwork for future celebrations in dbl.

Despair: I despise Fest 2024 with every fiber in my being. Besides LF Miniku (I love him) every other character was poopoo on reveal and in game I hated this whole celebration. No fusing mechanic for VB or Goku Black when they could’ve done fusing VB and fusing Zamasu?????? Right after 6th anni? Even tho VB had good animations, he was a slop combo character that rode UMV’s meat while TGB got treated horribly the whole time. And then they dropped a long combo Buu saga unit with bad animations and no new mechanics for part 2. Are u kidding me???😭😭😭😭 And Beast Gohan on reveal was so underwhelming and just dreaded after 3 years straight of Beast Gohan’s in a row, and even tho he wasn’t very toxic in game I still hate this choice and the whole celebration never again.

Idk why Gogeta didn’t go God in the Broly fight. I would’ve loved to play as God Gogeta in the games and Super Saiyan Gogeta already exists in Fusion Reborn.

Me personally I’m all the way for SS3 and Super Spirit Bomb for being the Part 3 Ultra since an MUI two years in a row wouldnt make sense and a new passive unit would be terrible.

So the plot is essentially Jeffy gets hired to investigate a murder after beating Brooklyn Guy and Marvin in a late night game of Clue. He searches the home for clues and creates scenarios in his head for what mightve happened and gathers 5 suspects. He interviews each and determines Screwball to be guilty. He chases him as he runs out of the police station and catches him as he swears it isnt him. That’s when we find out that it was Brooklyn Guy or Does Bad Things Guy and that he’s now an active serial killer in the area.

I was expecting for part 2 to be Daima since LR Mini 3ku couldve just been Gomah, so I assumed Gomah and Mini 4ku would be the part 2 Legends but I guess not anymore?😭 Anyways right now I’m predicting either Beast Gohan and Orange Piccolo or SS4 Goku and SS3 Vegeta or maybe both? Some other ideas I’ve heard going around are Future Trunks and Future Gohan, Majin Vegeta and SS2 Goku, Frieza and Cooler, and forms like SS3 Vegito or SSG Gogeta. Iont even care what they drop for part 2 tbh, still pushing the part 3 super spirit bomb ULTRA SS3 Goku and SS2 Vegeta with a FSV unique equip and Kid Buu Afterparty LR

I think it’s kinda weird that after Logan stopped using the plushies Mario just doesnt work now? He was the mascot of Nintendo back then, but now he just literally don’t do shit like bro how the hell does he afford that big ass house😭 so I had an idea for what a video could be to introduce a job for Marvin to have. Also the reason why I made him a plumber is because Mario was a plumber so it’s a cute little reference.

The plot is basically Marvin getting an eviction notice delivered from Goodman as well as utilities being shut down so he gets hired at a local plumbing company. His first job is Shrek which almost makes him quit but he continues for money’s sake alone. Then Warvin and Waluis start interfering trying to get him to quit and steal his money. Marvin perseveres and keeps his job and his house at the end.

I had an idea after seeing the ending of the Secret Door 2 that Does Bad Things Guy could continue acting as Brooklyn guy while being a serial killer in the area. Then, on Jeffy’s 22nd Birthday he strikes (since he’s Brooklyn guys twin his birthday will be on the same day hence it’s also his birthday) and kills Jeffy to make his birthday all about him. The rest of the video is Jeffy in heaven finding Brooklyn Guy and Feebee to team up and try to escape back to life to stop Does Bad Things Guy from killing Marvin and Rose as well as all the other supporting characters.

Lego Ninjago: The Serpentine Wars
It takes place during the era of the Serpentine War and chronicles the early events of the original Elemental Masters and their battle against the sinister Serpentine Army over Ninjago. The show goes deep into lore, explains unanswered questions, and shows crucial moments like Garmadon’s tutelage under Chen and his eventual fall to darkness, the stories of Wu’s childhood and mentorship of Morro, villains like General Arcturus, Pythor, Lord Chen, and the Time Twins are impactful here as well. Also, The Serpentine Wars show could cover some comic book material in canon like the Wu and Garmadon brother prequel comics and etc, basically every canon prequel comic could be shown.

Notes/Concept Ideas:
-Imagine the final duel between Wu and Garmadon in the Monastery, where we see Garmadon struck with magical lightning commands and falls to the underworld…So Garmadon is hesitant on grabbing the Golden Weapons for his own power, but thinks back to how war and chaos has been flooding the peace in Ninjago and how a world carved in his image no longer balanced but shadowed in darkness will create a utopia of evil. As Garmadon grabs it, Wu interrupts. “I’m afraid those weapons are for display only!” But Garmadon doesnt falter “Tell me brother, what good is a weapon if all its used for collecting dust?” Wu snipes back in disbelief “Don’t be foolish! Father prevented us from ever using those weapons they’re too powerful!” But Garmadon decides to show the true darkness that’s been brooding within him since the day he was bit, since the day he was born in evil. “Ughhh, FATHER WAS A FOOL!” Garmadon shows his true colors “These weapons wouldve ended the war without the countless lives lost! Their might belongs to me! Lord Garmadon!” Wu cannot believe what he’s hearing “How dare you speak that way about our father!” Garmadon almost as if he’s pleading to not hurt Wu “Leave me be in my conquest, or face death!” Wu, unresponsive, shook, can only say “What would Misako think, Lloyd?” Garmadon frozen stiff, truly awakens his anger as he barks back “They will prosper in the darkness of Ninjago shrouded in my image!” Garmadon strikes, and brutal battle between brothers commences, elemental strikes, weapons clashing, techniques fostered over a lifetime of war, sparring, training, and battle together. Garmadon has Wu trapped, but Wu realizes he has one last resort…. Wu had discovered a Gi with magical properties of the Shadduki Warriors that if the vocal command “Ruda Shudini Kai!” were shouted, a large divine storm would arise to decimate the opponent. When Garmadon raised his destructive weapon asking Wu “Any last words?” Wu pleaded “Don’t make me do this!” Garmadon said in anger “Too late brother! Ninjago shall be reborn in my flawless image of pure evil! You were warned, and now you will die braver than most!” That’s when Wu commanded almost in tears “Ruda Shudini Kai!” As a large pulsating storm came crashing down from the heavens onto Garmadon, but he held back using his elemental power of destruction. “Was this your backup plan? You’re pathetic! Hahahaha!” Wu realizes what he must do, and amplifies the effects by finishing the chant. “Forgive me brother, forgive me father….Eldru Nomozu Redimi Shanaka!” With this, Garmadon is shocked thousands of times more potently, as brutal lightning crashing down from the heavens distorts him into a dark shadow of evil, body burned and shattered. Garmadon’s evil in his blood is muffled for a moment as he yells. “No! No! Why me? Misako…Lloyd!” Garmadon reaches out to his brother, for a brief moment no longer the rising evil but now a desperate man suffering “Wu, please help me Wu!” Wu is terrified by this sight unaware of the damage the spell would cause, and as he tried to help him it was too late, as Wu runs to his brother holding out his hand, yelling out “Brother…No!” As their hands almost grasp one another’s it was too late. Wu looks down in horror to see his friend, his comrade, his brother fall to a realm of doom as he shouts “Garmadon!” No matter how powerful Wu is, he cannot stop this, as Garmadon was struck down into the underworld…

-The show could be around 5-8 seasons with 10-16 episodes each, each of them being 20 minutes.
