How reasonable are critiques of modern media? From “Mary Sues”, “subverting expectations”, and “garbage writing”, to “toxic fandoms”, “entitled fans”, and “bigotry”, our Hollywood landscape is full of labels, some earned and some not. In Critique or Cynicism, I aim to break down these labels and accusations and, after analyzing both sides in the best light possible, give my verdict on whether the original criticism is justified.

I met with Professor Juan Contreras, a professor in Media Studies and ZTV general manager at the University of Akron to talk about Luke Skywalker's portrayal in The Last Jedi.

In this episode of Critique or Cynicism, I bring on Professor Juan Contreras, a Media Studies professor at the University of Akron, the general manager of the student-run television station ZTV, and a known lover of all things Star Wars to break down the portrayal of Luke Skywalker in the divisive episode 8, The Last Jedi. What is a character arc and was this the natural result of Luke’s? Or is it the assassination of a well-loved character?

In this episode of Critique or Cynicism, we analyze Galadriel’s portrayal in Amazon’s billion-dollar Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power. Is Galadriel yet another Mary Sue to plague the creative landscape? Is she reasonably skilled for how she is established? Is she just unlikable? Let’s discuss.

In this episode of Critique or Cynicism, I am joined by my friend and fellow podcaster Cristin as we breakdown the backlash surrounding Halle Bailey’s casting as Ariel in Disney’s remake of The Little Mermaid. Is the backlash racism? Typecasting? Is there any credibility to it? Let’s discuss!

In this episode of Critique or Cynicism, I analyze the character portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s TV adaptation Game of Thrones, based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. Specifically, I determine whether or not Daenerys’ turn from Breaker of Chains to Mad Queen is adequately justified, given what has been established about her in the show. Has Dany been done dirty?

In the premiere episode of Critique or Cynicism, I break down Mulan 2020, the Disney remake that, instead of sparking complaints over autotuned songs or lack of originality, changed the original story so much that disappointed fans labeled Hua Mulan, the titular character, as a Mary Sue. What is a Mary Sue? And is Mulan one? Let’s find out!
