As much as people here seem to like to give their own effective 'reviews' of suggestions, I feel that the way ERB pick them out, is way different to the way in which a lot of us here do it.

To me, it seems that we are way too serious in how we juge suggestions. I mean, is it really that easy to define what a good and bad suggestion is? What some may find as good (Bond vs Jones), is quite different to the intentions of ERB (as seen by the creation of Bond vs Powers). My problem is that we openly bash suggestions here, sometimes, giving them a straight 'no', when we percieve them as being just plain crap. The truth is, does it actually matter whether the connection is good or not? Certainly, it doesn't seem that way for most erbs

My biggest problem in regards to this, is the way that I see a lot of people going overboard with the connections of the battles. Why does a suggestion, for a 3-minute video, have to be so indepth? ERB obviously prefer the simple ones, (i.e Directors, TV show hosts, Evil People, Good people).

I didn't really go any where with this, but ultiamtely, what I am trying to convey here, is a question, as to whether or not we look at suggestions for ERB, in the right way, or at least the way in which they look at it. Pete has said that they base it on whether he could see them arguing at a bar, if they met, or something like that. In relation to this, do we need to be so needlessly complex, when thinking of ideas? Do they have to rely on complexity, or just a connection that is simple, and then should they be more based on how good use of a certain character could be? I defintely feel that the latter is better.

Talking about complexity, I have kinda contradicted myself, by writing all of this, but still, I do question the wya in which we look at this web series that simply aims to make us laugh.
