He should act more natural. I prefer other toy reviewers. there are tons of them now.

It's because he's trying to appeal to children. Like the cool 1st grade teacher you remember fondly from your youth. But then you meet him as an adult and realize he's a little "hokey". But you are still happy to see him because he is cool and he is self aware about the way he acts. He made you feel cool as a kid because an adult actually related to you.
I'm totally cool with Dan doing that, but I'm not in first grade, so it's hard to watch his videos and not feel childish about everything. I only watch them if there isn't another reviewer out there. Guys like ShitPrime have a really good, fast and consistent format. What matters most to me are comparisons, and seeing different articulation poses. Not necessarily the articulation "break-down" but actually posing it so you can see how that "break-down" culminates in poses. I've never seen a reviewer that does enough of this in my opinion. If the videos are at least formatted well it makes it easy for me to jump to that stuff and move on.
I want my adult reviewers saying stuff like "this is total shit" and "hey look at the camel toe on Magneto, how did they overlook that??" Not to be dirty but to be totally and completely honest. Lift the shirt and pull the pants down on a figure so we can see that articulation. I'm not a child, I won't giggle. I want to see that articulation!
Nothing makes a person feel more like a kid when someone censors what they are really thinking and feeling and doing. Thats what people do with kids alllll day loooong.

My only problem is, that super7 used the glitch VCR overlay too many times in the commercial video for thundercats. The scan lines are good and the blocking is done well. Have a little artistic restraint.
Lighten up on the glitchy overlays and it will feel more authentic
