WatchMojo

Many of the lists on WatchMojo are very inaccurate, usually due to the fact that they forget some important things on the list. I find the lists to be incorrect, particularly some of the top picks. They literally chose The Social Network to be the No. 1 movie of the century (so far). Maybe The Social Network is a very good movie, but it definitely doesn't deserve to be labeled as the No. 1 movie of the century (so far)! Besides, a lot of their picks are overrated when choosing certain movies. They refuse to analyze other important films and only pick the ones they want/like. I don't even watch WatchMojo a lot because they clearly won't educate me in any way.

There are many things that make WatchMojo one of the worst list channels out there. To be fair though, most of them are far from great. Grunge, Screen Rant and Looper all can be just as annoying as WatchMojo, so what makes this one worse?

For one thing, they have the most inconsistent opinions I have ever seen. In one video they will condemn an edgy show for being... edgy, while in another one they will praise the show for it. Or they will call a musician s'hit, but in the next one lists their ten best songs. Makes no sense.

Part of why this happens of course is that they don't really base their lists on personal opinion, but what the majority agrees with. The problem however is that they often seem to have no clue what the population really think. For example Gravity Falls was listed as one of the worst Disney shows even though it's universally loved. Now, I've never watched Gravity Falls, but I know when someone's speaking out of their ass. Plus sometimes they'll call things offensive when nobody else agrees that it is. The "Jokes That Would Never Fly On The Simpsons Today" list is the worst one they've ever done. They completely misunderstood what most of those jokes even were about, and it reeked of overanalyzing for overanalyzation's sake. And for caring so much about calling out stuff that is offensive, they're not exactly cleancut themselves. I get kinda baffled by the sexism in some of the videos talking about beauty, treating any woman who isn't conventionally hot like she's in need of a make-over.

They will never play a full clip whenever talking about a highlight. Now, I don't know if this is for copyright reasons or whatnot, but it's very distracting when they start playing it, interrupt, continue playing it, interrupt and so on. Either play the clip or don't show a clip at all. Make up your minds.

It varies a bit which narrator they use, but most of the time it's Rebecca Brayton. And... nothing against her as a person, but her voice is so monotone and even downright annoying that it can sometimes alone make the videos unwatchable.

They reuse topics constantly, to the point where you'll often see titles with the words "Another" or "Yet Another". Or they'll talk about it on MsMojo (which is really just the exact same thing). And some of the lists are just flatout bizarre, which while unique are still ultimately pointless and headscratching.

And while there are many channels which use them, WatchMojo is one of the most grating when it comes to bleeps. Sometimes even when the swearing is relevant to the subject matter they will often bleep words out anyway. Come on, which kid is gonna care about WatchMojo? Please treat the audience like grownups. Nobody is gonna care about a curse word here and there.

And yet despite all these criticisms, I was stuck in the WatchMojo swamp for quite a while. Due to their insanely fast upload schedule, their videos will often show up in your recommendations, trying to lure you in with topics that might interest you. But don't let them trick you. Every time you give in and click on a video counting down "Top 10 Movie Birds" or whatever, you will be surrounded by a feeling of shame afterwards, knowing that those 10 minutes could have gone to cleaning my bathroom instead. And I *hate* cleaning my bathroom, so that tells you how little I value this channel.

They make bad lists as well as good ones.

I watch new videos in my spare time.

When I first discovered WatchMojo, I enjoyed their top 10 lists. However, about a year or so ago, I began to loose interest, along with the top 10 list format as a whole. I began to find them boring and repetitive. Everynow and then I may go back and watch and older list, but not the newer stuff. The multiple videos a day are too much. The video themselves do not hold my attention. And their content is repetitive, often repeating itself in some form. And if anyone is curious, there rankings do not factor into my decisions as I know that everyone has different opinions, though it would be nice if they treated their top 10 lists as opinion rather than fact. They are ranking a subjective experience not a list of statistics.

Oh my lord, except for one and only partly, the reviews here are talking about this programme like it's one of the worst things ever, and it's not so terrible at all, you could do much worse with your online time. It's like you people are happier hearing pure negativity or something.. I mean certainly the show has really started to go downhill these last couple of years and is fast becoming a shambling corpse of its former self, and I would agree that as a channel Watchmojo is indeed on its last legs and has definitely outstayed its welcome and that they should definitely think about calling it a day as most of the latest top 10s have been getting pretty grim, but still they have put out a lot of fun entertaining content over the years that is deserving of a little consideration. And they're certainly tryers, they're bailing on that sinking ship for all it's worth, they even got canned one time and recovered from it! The subjects of the top 10s offer so many different themes and subjects that virtually anyone could gleam a little enjoyment from them, variety is one of their big pluses, as is sheer consistency, these guys make at least two videos for every single day of the year, and this has been going on for at least four years now, and they have to write a kind of script for each episode's Voice-over. And I do like the narrators, the main guy and girl that have done most of them have pleasant voices that don't tend to yell inanely or grate against your eardrums. I like the humour that they try to put into it and how they'll use a clip for a movie or TV episode ironically. My favourite types of Mojo uploads are always the video game related ones, or horror movies, or anything to do with the. Power Rangers! I find their top 10s to be better made and more entertaining than the ones done by Screwattack or Peanutbuttergamer. It's a very 'easy' show to snip in and out of that doesn't take up too much time or indeed require a great deal of thought, not that I have any particular aversion to that. This guy from a pretty good series called "I Hate Everything" did a scathing video about Watchmojo where he said that it was a soulless series that was made for the sole purpose of capitalising on the mindless fandom of viewers who enjoyed not being challenged, or some such.. Mm, fair enough, but why attack the people who like the show and not the show itself? Some might watch it and like and comment on every last video that they put out downright religiously but I don't, I take what I like from this show and I know exactly what I'm watching it for, I'm not a dummy. It's just a decent little time burner and a bit of enjoyable entertaining internet crap, none of it really means anything, it's amusing and informative fluff that's here today gone tomorrow and is quite harmless, to dismiss the whole thing as "wrong" is just silly. Far worse has been just as popular in the past like "Fred" and the "Annoying Orange", and that "Damn Daniel" viral video from a little while back did show that people en-mass will flock to the stupidest sh*t and love it if a buzz of some kind gets generated. And Watchmojo is slightly better than all of those, it's nothing spectacular or amazing but it's certainly not boring either, it has and deserves its place. So please relax and lighten the hell up, as it's really not that bad! x
