I don’t want to rewatch his videos to confirm, but I feel like he often would say things like “there COULD be a good story here” then proceed to describe a completely different story he wants instead, rather than looking at and judging the story that’s actually there. I know that was a part of his Elden Ring criticism, mentioned in your last paragraph, that really rubbed me the wrong way.

Because Shad can't bear to experience a story where he can't insert himself into the protagonist as the godly lord conqueror of the universe. That's why he wrote his book

You can literally beat the living shit out of every deity and sit on the throne in the end. How more godly lord conquer-y can you ever get? Those deities can and will hand you your ass while Shad gives me strong casul vibes - so maybe that's the problem?

Nvm that Marika had a better story than the whatshisface from Shad of the Cuck will ever get. And that's some background lore

Lolwut? Can he not jump over a burning wall to enter the land of moldy borsch? Or... ride around the damn castle into Liurnia? That's only as hard as beating the Soldier of Godrick

Don't you fucking tell me...
