Blaze's inspirations

There are many people who inspired him to make videos over the years. Here is a list of the most notable ones.

Past inspirations
Those are people who inspired him in the past who no longer make videos.

Shadsilvson11
He was his main inspiration for making commentaries, now known as video thoughts. They were also very good friends.

Fury of the film fan
He was his inspiration for making movie reviews in the early years, though Blaze wasn't considered a good reviewer until long after he retired.

Dirtbikeredden
Even though he isn't Blaze's biggest inspiration for his video thoughts series, he still encouraged him to make commentaries on movie-related videos, which he does a lot even to this day, even after Dirtbikeredden quit in 2017.

TrainerDor
When Blaze started making videos he made a series called Pokémon Gangster, and Doryan was his biggest inspiration at the time. Back then Pokémon hacking series were popular, but they aren't anymore. Despite the fact most people quit making them such as Elliot, Gold and Sanna, Blaze still makes his even to this day.

Current inspirations
Those are people who inspire Blaze who are still around.

Nostalgia Critic, Cinemassacre and The Irate Gamer
In a lot of Blaze's reviews he puts skits in there that includes fictional characters interacting with him.. Those three are the ones who inspired him the most to do that. Nostalgia Critic is his favorite movie reviewer on the Internet, and he loves the Angry Video Game Nerd. And he finds the skits in the irate gamer show very funny.

Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckmann
These are some of his favorite movie reviewers, and they keep inspiring him to keep on making reviews. He thinks Chris is a better reviewer when it comes to serious critiquing and Jeremy is better when it comes to making fun reviews. He's been a big fan of both since 2011.

ThoseDudesWithAHat
Even though Blaze doesn't hold this guy in high regards, he is the one who inspired him to keep making his video thoughts series, because just like him, he also mainly responds to videos to give his opinions on the videos rather than being objective.

Doodletones
Although Dirtbikeredden and Shadsilvson11 inspired Blaze when it came to the style of his video thoughts series, formerly known as commentaries, Doodletones is who inspires him now. Not necessarily the quality of her commentaries, even though he likes them, but more so due to how much she has done to help the community and how nice of a person she is.
