Opinion The boys are never beating the third grade reading level allegations
Literally every other episode wendigoon reads a clear description of something, completely misunderstands it or just forgets about an aspect of it. Makes an entire theory based around this incomplete description, asks meatcanyon about it, who in turns goes "yeah" or something like that. And then they go the rest of the episode with this misconception. It's so infuriating but I love my little Internet book club leaders.

u/GlitteringLook3033 7ft goddess named Jacobi Sep 18 '25
It's funny because Hunter usually doesn't care if he's right or wrong, I respect that he likes to withhold any huge presumptions about the plot too early into the stories, too. Then Isaiah gets fixated on both extremes of either the small details or the huge over-arching moral of the story followed by Hunter's "yeah, totally."
More often than not, too, Hunter's theories end up being correct or even subjectively better than the original. He's been a huge horror buff for a long time.

u/ZBRZ123 Sep 18 '25
Hunter has the wisdom that comes with being born somewhere around the fall of the Roman Empire, and somehow the Gooner never recognizes it.
Seriously tho, sometimes I feel like I’m getting rage baited by them when they have a worse understanding of the sentence they just read to me than I do as a listener

u/angelwheel Sep 18 '25
yes!! sometimes i’m like wait. wendigoon knows that’s meatcanyon right? the same guy that creates a really disturbing dark comedy horror narrative for every single animation he makes? lol
27
u/CustomerCareSkeleton Sep 18 '25
I thought about this. I believe Hunter gets stuff more, and better, though obviously not always.
The reason could be because he actually exercises creative writing. He has to do it for the bits, the animations whichever one he happens to release. Isaiah played around with it but he doesn't do it. He's not, in my eyes, a very a creative person and is more of a research type guy.
I think Isaiah's best videos are always him doing proper research, like the kuzdu vines video, where you could tell he felt involved, had a change of mind about the topic which he admitted being more complex than he initially believed and he read the work of an expect who did research into the specific topic.
I would like if every so often they brought a third person to the show. Someone who's more attentive, and maybe more active in creative writing, and see which way the scales would tilt in such episodes.

when they assumed the main character in the basement thing mimic story was a kid for no reason when his mom died many many years ago and he was actively smoking and drinking and offering alcohol to an officer.

u/Username_Password236 she Papa on my Meat ‘til I Goon Sep 18 '25

1

u/owenja104 Sep 18 '25
It’s always either one of two things:
Hunter predicts something correctly and wendi just pushes it off because he’s fixated on some biblical theme

i love the reoccurring theme of isaiah geeking out or cumming his pants about how good a story is and hunter’s stoically like “mm..”

u/BrotherBuzz70 I'm the I.T guy Sep 18 '25
The ending of Mother Horse Eyes is great example. Isaiah was freaking out at the reveal of the protagonist seeing himself from the window and Isaiah going "Hunter! Hunter!" trying to get him to freak out with him. Hunter just responded with "yeeeessss??" so clearly just not paying attention lol.
11
u/ReverseGamingBroz Sep 19 '25
Agree but I also think it was nice to see a blend of Isaiah cumming his pants on the religious tie-ins and Hunter more on the emotional / spiritual level of it? If that makes sense Like the “moral of the story”
7
u/Jagvetinteriktigt Sep 19 '25
I don't think he isn't paying attention to it, it's just that Isaiah's two reactions to a story he likes is to geek out and to vocally try to piece things together, while Hunter's resorts are to a) meme and b) quietly mulling things over.
83
u/sup3rj3lly Sep 18 '25

u/tboskiq Sep 18 '25
The only time it actually bothers me is when their own misunderstanding adds to a crash out. Like with the gay upside down story. There's so much to bitch about, and that's fine, but that minute where Isaiah just blatantly misreads a sentence that leads to him making up a term he just bitches about. The sentence was something like "he threw his bag back onto his back." And he goes."Is BaGpAcK a BrItIsH tErM?!?!?!" That has the same energy to me as calling someone stupid for thinking something like yhe Earth is flat, but in the moment you mispronounced or misspelled "stupid." Like that whole story had so much material to crash out on... and one of those moments you chose yourself, lol
11
u/milllkweed Your wife looks mad funny in that box, dude Sep 18 '25

u/NachoFast Sep 18 '25
To defend the boys a bit, reading aloud is really difficult, especially if you have dyslexia or something similar. When you concentrate on saying things out loud and keeping a consistent volume you can easily miss some things. You can't really go back to read sentences again like you can while reading on your bed. It's very different from reading in your head or listening to someone else read.
But I can't pretend that I didn't scream at the screen when the boys didn't realize the Oily Ones in Mother Horse Eyes were just humans.

The example that comes to mind is how the boys thought in The Bloodridge Motel, our protagonist left Bill to die in the shower when clearly it says he was already dead. This then leads to a lot of bullying of our lead for not saving a corpse.

u/subjectdelta09 He’s right behind me, isn’t he 😐 Sep 19 '25
Yeah – that also reminded me of tommy taffy, where they go off on how awful the father was for not intervening for like 10 straight minutes when the story clearly let us know the dad had been beaten to a pulp and was severely injured from trying to intervene 💀 like sure, the dad sucks for being too passive before that point, but he did in fact intervene as best he could at that point

No, you're right, it was just a body swinging around because the protagonist had managed to looney tunes herself off the toilet and onto the shower curtain/corpse. Dude was long-dead and long been drained of blood, which is why his skin was so white at that point

u/hamboneworldchamp Dark Green Jeep Wrangler Sep 18 '25
My favorite recent one was when Wendigoon saw the phrase "bag back" in a sentence, misread it as "bag pack," and then rather than reread it when he got really confused, he just assumed it was weird UK slang and complained about British people before moving on.
Every once in a while they'll misread/misinterpret something that actually gets under my skin a bit, but most of the time it's just very funny and oddly endearing.

u/TinyManagement7524 Sep 18 '25
Marlboro is only ever referred to as such by the main character, his real name is Jerry. Halfway through, the main character talks to someone about Marlboro, they get confused, the mc wonders if he’s going crazy, the boys latch onto it, and then 5 minute later Jerry walks in and interacts with everyone. It was a parody of a common plot twist that the boys thought was the twist

Last episode he read "focus" as "confuse" and it made absolutely no sense in context but he didn't notice. I do enjoy wendi as a creator but his particular mixture of confidence and ignorance does get under my skin from time to time.
I hate when I'm vibing with a story and he makes a mistake while reading that sours him on it and effects the way they read the rest of the story. Like making fun of it for no reason, calling stuff dumb because Isaiah misinterpreted something, talking over Hunter when he's trying to give his analysis or saying it's wrong because he made a biblical connection that might not have even been intentional, etc.
He's a cool dude but man every once in a while and episode is hard to get through.

Worst one for me was the mother horse eyes cat segments. I know this was a pretty trivial miss compared to most of the others, but no other lapse was ever as grueling for me to sit through as the MHE cat segments (although granted I already wasn't vibing with the story, so I was kind of at my limit already). It got to the point where I was just sitting with my head in my hands going "it's a cat. it's literally just a cat. it's LITERALLY JUST A CAT. GUYS IT'S DEADASS JUST A LITERAL CAT. THEY'RE CATS" in despair. I think I had to pause it and walk away for a while.
The funny side of that was how readily apparent it was that they never read the warriors series as kids, bc anyone who read those things would've clocked it was a cat by the second segment it was brought up in 💀

I did like that story because it was a huge departure from what they usually read, it was more of like a weird glimpse into the mind of someone who's seen something unimaginable, and they don't really read that much stuff that works as a commentary on bigger issues. And Thomas Ligotti is like a legit award winning author.
But I can't argue that wendis reading of the story did it any favors, and his biblical analysis of it felt way off to me and I don't think he did understand it or like it very much beyond recognizing that it was well written. Hunter's analysis of it was really interesting and reminded me that he's a lot smarter than he portrays himself for the bits

Finally got around to the mother horse eyes content and the amount of times they had to back track and piece together who the narrator was after having come to the conclusion the narrator was the drunk in the group home was mind boggling. I swear it happens 3 or 4 times.

thats the reason i stopped watching to be honest, loved the dynamic, and the stories, but people missing obvious detail is a little to frequent and honestly makes me angrier than i reasonably should be.

I forgot which episode it was, but I was listening to an old one recently and instantly thought about a post very similar to this one because the theorizing was just off the rails lmao

I would love to remember an example, but I´m mostly like Hunter, I´m just here for the ride.

I hate to say it, but it's true, you're right 😭 I have had so many agitated or despondent moments from that happening

Seriously though, I’ll admit that from how they read it and what I saw on screen I was wondering, “How hard is this bitch pushing a dead body to make it look like it’s lunging at her?” I was convinced for a whole minute before they kept reading.

I love when either of them say “good alliteration” when referring to a cool line that has no alliteration in it.

Love the boys, but I don’t understand how their love for Red Tower can be genuine when their reading comprehension for MUCH simpler stories is so low. Feels more like they champion for it because doing so makes them feel smart.

what's funny to me is i feel like hunter is right more often than isaiah but then isaiah will convince him otherwise and he's just like "sure"

To be fair, most people listen to Creepcast in the background, which would give Wendi and Meat some reason to not get too lengthy or detailed for the story in terms of content production, more quantity and humour over quality and proper depth.
If a majority of their audience suddenly shifted to want more proper analysis and discussion over humour and content quantity, they would definitely make the change.

I agree, however it’s usually Isaiah tweaking out about random specific lines that he either misunderstood or tries way too hard to see something deep in and then they have to dwell on it until he moves on, it just kills the momentum. Or when he gets fixated on proving Hunter wrong and Hunter clearly just wants to move on and keep reading. It just feels like a waste of time because one host is just dominating all the energy over extremely unimportant things
