Janina Gavankar Apologizes to the Bill Paxton Estate

this reads like angry fan copypasta. some of these comments are just insane lol

I've come around on this bit. I want to see where it goes and I'm enjoying reading all the indignant comments.

comments section full of marks and babies

@chamurai: It is a bit that is unfunny to a lot of us and not what this website was about. Which was the new direction that was announced a while back, looking at the new shows produced. I subscribe for UPF, it has gone downhill lately and I don't care for any of the new shows. Like someone said in the comments, if you don't like it you can jump the ship. I guess I am ready at this point. Cancelling subscription and moving on. cya and thanks for all these years GB

@yyninja: I did the same thing. Went and looked up information on this... thing. Props to them for doing something weird, I guess?

This is funny?

Is Giant Bomb ok ?

@kerned:

Oh, its entertaining alright. These comments are proof of that.

I can no longer tell what's a bit and what isn't... Please keep it coming.

I am in favor of this kind of nonsense.

I'm not smart enough to get the meta jokes happening with these videos lol. The reveal confused the shit out of me, the first video confused the shit out of me, and now guess what, this confused the shit out of me!

Janina & Jan are wearing similar beanies. This has to mean something.

lol, this is great.

seemed like a real apology also

Lots of weirdos coming out of their caves to post in the comments section lately! I hope that your actual lives aren't as miserable as they seem online! Happy Holidays!

Please do not cancel Bryan's contract he made a simple mistake and the haters are just mad because they don't like what they see in the mirror of Bryan's art

I am amazed at how many people who watch Giant Bomb do not have a sense of humour. Even if you don't find it funny, you should at least be able to identify a joke.

Honestly, the series alone did nothing for me, but all the weird middle stuff like this is making it for me. I don't know if I cared about if the 'show' was lampooning video essays, but this stuff is actually kinda cool? If it turns into just 'Bakalar trying not to burn the site down' and 'Janina semi-bigtiming them in zoom calls', I think I'm totally down with what's going on.

It's really not worth complaining until the payoff.

Obviously this is a long-term plan, leading to Jeff Gerstman trying to fire Jeff Bakalar, who is then going to go straight to the top of RV to oust JG, who joins Nextlander who then eventually muster enough capital to buyout Giant Bomb from RV, which has been the plan all along!¡1!

/s obviously

As a dog I feel the need to say woof.

@fosgase: explain “what this website is about” because it seems you clearly missed out on the Ryan Davis years where they tried everything and anything.

Odd, because I watched another parody apology video (featuring Bryan Stills) regarding Bill Paxton on here earlier which seems to have now been removed. It was here a few hours ago.

@shift9: I feel like I am losing my mind reading these comment.

@yiffmaster69:

I think you're thinking of Drew Scanlon.

You guys really think this is a bit? IT IS NOT A BIT! That dude really fucked up and legally that had to be read! Think about it, why would they do a bit like this?

@fosgase: lol

What the fuck is this even about?

Hell.Yes.

More Janina plz

This is pro-wrestling right? right?

This is why I got Premium.

@yyninja:

Nuts that it took you 30 minutes to research something that only has one 15 minute video involved that you probably just skimmed through if anything.

@everyone:

Is it a bit that some of you can't recognize if this is a bit or not?

Im confused, is this a shoot or is this a work?

@actuariker: drug code

I'm not saying that pissing off your fanbase is a good idea, but the vitriol is certainly my favorite part of this whole thing.

@indignate: See, this is what I was starting to think. Are the people going hard against this and are either confused or questioning if this is a bit actually in on it and it's actually a bit on a bit? A bit Mille-feuille if you will.

I don’t have the time for the narration of the reel layers videos but I do have time for this comment section

If I play this backwards and analyze the waveform, can I extract a code for Halo coins or something..?

Lots of people in the comments upset that someone made something that doesn't immediately pay off, and isn't aimed directly at their sensibilities

This isn't enough. I feel as though Janina and Bryan need to extend their reparations towards all celebrities of mixed identities. I'm talking, Javier Bardem with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Margot Robbie and Jamie Pressly, Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green. Other celebrities from this buzzfeed article... it's just not enough.

God I hate what this site continues to become

Let Bryan and Janina do whatever the hell they want, this is gold

I'm into it. Haters be damned :)

I don't get it.......

Dafuq. I love it.

These comments suck.

This is dumb... I get it... and that doesnt make it better. Whose idea was this? They should be put into idea timeout corner. Remember when Giant Bomb had good content?

OK, the Q&A answered all the questions that've been lingering inside for the past few months and put my mind at ease re:Reel Layers, or as those in the industry say when regarding Reel Layers, Re:el Layers. Happy holidays, Janina and Bryan Stills!! 💚
