PhantomStrider

Josh "PhantomStrider" Strider is a Australian/Canadian YouTuber who's known for specializing in animation, movies, TV, and live-action.

Why He's Amazing

 * 1) He's a very friendly YouTuber who respects opinions and never lashes at people for having different opinions.
 * 2) He comes up with some very creative lines in his dialogue that makes him come off as original.
 * 3) He's a very good role model who gives some great life lessons that also involves debunking misleading morals. Like this from his Top 6 Worst Gumball Episodes where he discusses abusive relationships.
 * 4) His reasons for disliking some popular cartoons are very understandable. Particularly shows like Ed, Edd n Eddy because he finds it incredibly mean-spirited and finds some of the characters one-dimensional or just plain unlikable.
 * 5) The stuff that he usually hates is something that most people can identify with like Miley Cyrus, Modern Family Guy, Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, and Fred: The Show.
 * 6) This scene.
 * 7) He loves a lot of modern cartoons like Gravity Falls, The Loud House, Rick and Morty, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and Star vs The Forces of Evil.
 * 8) He gets along very well with fellow internet celebrities, such as James Rolfe and Doug Walker.
 * 9) He chooses to stay relevant. For example, while most people tend to have a massive hatred for Dora the Explorer, PhantomStrider chooses to ignore it and instead focus on Peppa Pig, as that is the relevant preschool show to the current day, and Dora has been irrelevant since 2016.
 * 10) *Although he has done the Top 6 Abysmal Dora the Explorer Episodes list a few weeks back.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While he doesn't have an extreme hatred for the stuff he dislikes, sometimes he adds them to his lists a little too much, especially the infamous "Ren Seeks Help".
 * 2) Has made some inaccurate points and errors in some of his videos:
 * 3) *In his Top 10 Simpsons Episodes, he discusses the plot of "The Frying Game" as the episode where Homer is taking multiple jobs, when that episode is actually "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge".
 * 4) *In his Top 5 Worst & Best Video Game Cartoons, he calls the Rabbids "Minions rip offs" which is actually incorrect because Rabbids existed before Minions were (Rabbids were first introduced as enemies in Rayman Raving Rabbids in 2006, while Minions were introduced in Despicable Me in 2010).
 * 5) *In his Top 10 Worst Cartoon Remakes, he calls the animation team behind The Garfield Show "Korean sweatshop animators" which is actually false because the show was made in France, not Korea (though, it is likely that he might of said it sarcastically).
 * 6) *In his Top 10 Worst Cartoon Remakes, he says that there are over 90 Scooby-Doo remakes, while it is true that there are lots of Scooby-Doo shows, there aren't over 90 of them.
 * 7) He often contradicts himself multiple times throughout many videos:
 * 8) *During the segment where he talks about Teen Titans Go his Top 10 Worst Cartoon Remakes video, he mentions the crossover they did with The Powerpuff Girls 2016 reboot and treated it like it what a bad episode, but later in his honourable mentions, he mentioned that he actually liked the episode and even recommended the episode.
 * 9) *In his Top 10 Worst Family Guy Episodes, he mentions the crossover that Family Guy did with The Simpsons and mentioned that it was a good episode, but in his Top 6 Worst Cartoon Crossovers, he put the episode on there.
 * 10) *He said that he thought that [ [mh:awfulmovies:Drawn Together]] was bad in the honourable mentions of Top 10 Worst Animated Movies, but then on Top 5 Movies I Like Everyone Hates, he put it there.
 * 11) Despite being aspergers himself, he inaccurately stated that [ [mh:besttvshows:The Big Bang Theory]] and [ [mh:besttvshows:Atypical]] were "bad" and "overreacted" examples of aspergers people, but while The Big Bang Theory does sometimes overreact, it is actually a somewhat decent example, and there is no guarantee everything he does is even based on the fact that he's aspergers. With Atypical, it is only ever stated to be about an autistic kid, not one that is necessarily aspergers. However, it is possible it is supposed to be an aspergers.

Trivia

 * 1) He was a guest on blameitongeorge's 8 Worst Dreamworks Rip-Offs.
