Bionicritical

"90% of everything is crap."

- Sturgeon's law, which Echo 1 considers the describing phrase of fanfiction.

Bionicritical is a review series on YouTube created by user Echo 1.

Format
The series involves CBW articles, MOCs, art, or stories being reviewed by Echo 1. His voice is accompanied by a sprite of his self MOC Malachi showing emotions related to Echo 1's comments. It also has a song being used as a sort of 'theme' for the episode, which is played at the opening and closing of the episode.

In the credits, Echo 1 often has a humorous title before his name, such as "Unafraid to Offend" or "Dislikes Spiders".

Style
Echo 1 usually provides critical points in stories, often criticizing plot points that make no sense, powers that defy even physics in Bionicle, or grammar errors. He often, though, claims that most stories are good, and rarely deems them poorly written. He also quickly summarizes the beginning plot.

MOCs are also reviewed harshly as well, but Echo 1 focuses more on proportions and physical plausibility rather than the design.

Being an artist himself, Echo 1 heavily criticizes art, but normally gives points to improve the artwork rather than simply deeming it pathetic and moving on.
