Wil we get anymore of the "Everything wrong with Everything wrong with <title> in <number> minutes"

Is this MrBtongue? Bobvids sounds just like him, and these videos are equally thoughtful in their criticisms. Also, both channels are criminally underrated in terms of sub count.

"They're sexist!" Or maybe they're just tired of people with no armor plating (hence why they named Hawkeye alongside Black Widow, but you keep selectively ignoring the fact that they pointed out Hawkeye to construct your narrative of sexism against them) constantly being shot at by automatic weapons capable of firing hundreds/thousands of rounds per minute (multiplied by however many dozens of soldiers shoot at them in each fight) and never getting so much as a scratch on them. Many characters have this problem, but this is exemplified by Hawkeye and Black Widow in particular due to 2 major problems: the total lack of armor (see Falcon being shot at repeatedly, but the bullets bouncing off of the metal wings on his back for instance; now contrast that with people shooting at Hawkeye/Black Widow from behind with fully automatic weapons and magically missing every single shot, every single time, in every single movie). Also, the fact that it's written off because "well, just look at them! They move so fast! They're so agile; of COURSE they're-" faster than bullets? Hundreds of them? Thousands of them? In every fucking fight? When they're out in the open with either little cover or, in most cases, none whatsoever? (This last point is more true of Black Widow than Hawkeye, making it easier to notice and thus giving people another reason to point this problem out as it applies to her specifically, among other reasons you haven't considered.) Shit; maybe you're right. I took three years of martial arts lessons, so I can dodge bullets—including bullets I can't even see because I can't look in every direction at once to know precisely what angle they're coming from at every microsecond when they're being fired at me by several people simultaneously—just like them. What was I thinking? Seeing this in several dozens of movies over the years is like hearing the same shitty cinemasins nitpick 30-70 times. It's grating, and it only gets increasingly annoying over time. It's like watching an alien creature in a horror movie that's hyped up to be much faster than the humans, watching it get just within arm's reach of the heroes in one camera shot where it could easily maul their face off, but a fraction of a second later the camera pans to a different angle and now the creature is dozens of times farther away from them. What's known to be a lethal threat is suddenly retconned not to be a threat because of momentary convenience/shitty directing/other reasons. Now imagine that happening once for each of the thousands of projectiles in every fight, including aimed ones that could've hit the heroes, stray ones that could've hit them, ricochets, and friendly fire from their own abilities, and maybe you can begin to understand how annoying this trope is. You'll nitpick a soldier who missed a single shot using an unwieldy, gigantic gun mounted on a vehicle driving over what must have been an INCREDIBLY bumpy forest trail, but you won't point out the implausibility of someone not getting hit by the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of bullets and other miscellaneous projectiles fired at/near them over the years..? Seriously..? You're surprised enough by 1 missed shot to nitpick it, but you blindly accept that hundreds of thousands of bullets MAGICALLY miss heroes without armor, and only hit the ones with armor in PRECISELY the places they're allowed to hit without inflicting more than a scratch or a 30 second limp? Double standards much?
