He should have made either a road trip movie with him, Mike, Kyle, and Bootsy or maybe do a Clerks-eqsue kind of movie set either in the nerd room or maybe he works at a game store. The weird meta of him being an angry reviewer with his own show was weird too. He had a weird obsession with filming in California because that's where Hollywood does there movies. He could have kept it local and more grounded.

the nerd was so high on making a movie in los angeles, that it costed a helluva lot more for permits, etc than say if he filmed elsewhere.

It exposed the fact that despite filmmaking being his biggest passion and what he went to college for, AVGN has absolutely no idea how movies are actually made and produced.

He wasted a huge chunk of the budget on filming in LA and having it premiere at the Egyptian theater because in his mind thats what real filmmakers do.

To be fair (And for the record I haven't seen the movie nor do I have an opinion on it)

The sheer fact the movie wasn't about Mike, Kyle and Bootsy and was about random new people including black and female characters meant the Diehard AVGN fans were gonna hate it for being "disloyal"

Garantee ITT: You're gonna get half a dozen posters saying "The movie should have just been AVGN, Kyle, Mike and Bootsy on a road trip!" because that's what the fanbase wanted to see.

The Nerd goes to the ET landfill and somehow the fate of the world is intertwined with a plot regarding it and the army

Different is fine too if it's good. It wasn't.

Okay, but why is it offensively bad? I mean it just seems like people seem hesitant to even ironically enjoy certain webshows or anything associated.

Because James legitimately has no actual knowledge of filmmaking/writing/producing/editing and gave up on keeping up with technology around the late 90s. His interest in filmmaking begins and ends with appreciating cheesy practical effects.

I mean even if the effects are better on day James Cameron's Avatar, that still doesn't invalidate it being too forgiven for a so so story (Rare element called unobtainium).

The AVGN even acknowledging it's bad still is a fun movie to riff on or laugh at.

I've seen every episode, and I still think AVGN is pretty good for the most part, but still haven't watched the movie, and have no interest in it.
