Kind of pissed because this whole time I thought he was there at Jan 6th.

Yeah, I thought the buildup was good with lots of great new footage, but despite doing the best with what they had, things not ending with a full Channel 5 style look at Jan 6th really made the film peter out for me, especially with the precedent they've set.

I haven't followed the marketing, but I feel like the narrative for this thing has been "Channel 5's look at Jan 6th". For them to not have even been there, I can't help but feel let down. Still though, the film's full of great stuff.

Yup, that was my interpretation of the marketing too. That he was there and had an inside look channel 5 style.

It wasn’t terrible but I was angry when the rug was pulled.

Ah RIP, I haven't watched anything beyond the trailers yet since I've been waiting for my GF to have some free time to watch it together since she's a huge fan of his channel, but I kind of thought this whole thing was sort of "Here's what's happening after the election, let's ride this through to Jan 6th".

I mean, I guess it makes sense, how do you document Jan 6th in his format that hasn't already been done. Having watched it all on livestreams when it happened, it probably isn't a great fit for his format and we'd likely just be getting more of Q-Shaman style interviews which would just be more "Oh i didn't do anything wrong, those OTHER people were there, it was deep state agents, etc etc etc", but it's still a little disappointing. The trailers definitely hyped this up to seem like it was going to be riding the Post Election Madness train all the way through.

My bad dude. I should have spoilered my comment.

I think y’all will still like it though.
