The Onion Reviews "Film Standard with Peter K. Rosenthal" youtube series is killing me rn. he has the gravitas to pull it all off without seeming too goofy. it is a nice balance of pretentious and silly. imo this stuff is up there w Sean O'Neal news posts.
his Batman V Superman review has him directly comparing Batman and Superman fighting to his parents' divorce and him wishing they would stay together and going through this silly/serious self analysis that closely mimics the childish Freudian subtext of the film. in another one he reviews Rogue One and most of that review is him talking about a horrible Star Wars puzzle that he is completely baffled by.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 30 December 2017 21:24 (six years ago) link
omg his Captain America: Civil War review is him wanting all the secondary characters and extras in the film to have origin story films and tv series and zooming in on random people in the background and asking about them lol
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 30 December 2017 21:34 (six years ago) link
lol wow yeah that one is amazing consumerist satire. he spends the entire review saying "How can we make sense of any of this? There are only 12 origin story films! The viewer needs more context. Who is this SWAT soldier that Captain America drop-kicks off the roof of a car? Where is his origin story?"

― calzino, Thursday, 16 August 2018 19:40 (five years ago) link
The Canary has also been criticised by some political pundits on the left, such as Owen Jones, who told PR Week that the website "really promotes conspiracy theories and a lot of things that just aren't right. I worry about the Canary-isation of the left, where it ends up in a bizarre sub-culture that anyone who doesn't agree is seen as part of a conspiracy. But then you do get those blogs on left and right."
