  1. This is my favorite explanation of what went wrong with Luke Skywalker in the last jedi, there was no respect to him as a honorable hero. Can't forgive Disney for doing to that to such a legend.

  2. Just in 5 minutes and I can tell they should have followed Jeff’s advice. The thing with the DC world is it’s not as grungy as Batman/Gotham. It focus more on corruption behind the mundane way of life, which does have an appeal if done right. Making everything dark loses that unique edge yet they carelessly blends every dark part that there is no contrast to Gotham. Always known the whole thing was going to flop because of the direction Man of Steel went. They ruined the archetype of Superman as a powerful being yet self conscious of his place in the world. There is surprisingly a lot you can do with Superman, shows have done well with the Clark Kent vs Superman or Reeves’ classic of being almost perfect yet silly in some accounts how things transpire. I think it was well done with Aquaman and Wonder Woman (first) movies because they had a story that wasn’t depressing, but focused on the growth of the characters while not revamping their origins to not their original appeal. With Man of Steel it just became how he was treated by others with little gratitude, and in the next movie he ends up going to trial because of the damage he caused while “saving the day.” It doesn’t match with Superman because we such power he was always careful in his battles to not create more damage. The Man of Steel, he didn’t acknowledge it, got in trouble the next movie and it set him up with Batman not trusting him. They skipped decades of character of Superman to get to the dark side, and with our taking the time developed that, it will flop! Instead he was stuck in this sad state being treated like a horrible being and there was little chance to see the essence of Superman, hope. Now this is my assessment before any woke trash got involved. The last movie I saw was Superman vs Batman (was forced to see it) so I cannot comment further. But just knew it was not going to stand well based on getting the one most important character right. Batman might be a fan favorite, but Superman is the glue to the WHOLE DC arc. You get that wrong, it will not stick together.

  4. You’re the second channel that has stated that this is likely the end of Woke Hollywood, we’ll have to wait a few more years to get actual great content, but at least we are finally coming over the horizon.

  5. I put this squarely on Brie Larson and those covering for her, she has no charisma, she’s rude and condescending, she only exists to prove what a Mary Sue looks like. Meanwhile Marvel was eh, not saying it was horrible but the issue is the character had little dynamics to show both strengths and weaknesses. She just suddenly gets power but there is very little in the character arc that makes anyone want to cheer for her, and she somehow ends up being a pro. If we’re going to compare it to a random Avenger character, let’s do Thor since Brie was being an ass to Chris Hemsworth, Thor had a story arc that made people want to champion for. This is coming from someone who initially didn’t like Thor, he was brash and in his own little world that led to a lot of stupid decisions to being made. However, we see him contrast that when he puts others before himself and he rises up to the challenge not because he was deliberately looking for a fight but he was willing to defend others. Thor ends up winning praise with an arc like that, similar arcs or at least different character growth happens to the Marvel characters before Ms Marvel showed up. When Brie Larson showed up, it was a horrible mix of an entitled patronizing presence seeing her mix with the cast and then seeing how her character really had very little value to the overall Marvel universe. When she does show up in Endgame, I know I’m not the only person rolling their eyes when Ms Marvel shows up, it’s easy to see they put her in for “Girl power.”

  6. It's funny listening to your comment about this trilogy, as I think the best way to sum this up is they tried to make a knock off children's story into 3 movies to entertain more mature audience, especially as many of the audience already know the story. If they actually kept the Hobbit in one movie, maybe two is stretching it, the saga would have felt more complete. I've heard of many people online actually cutting out the unnecessary fillers to something closer to the original story, and many people gave great reviews. As a fan, Tolkien's version is the superior tale, was lucky as a kid to seen the cartoon cheesy version, as it was made for kids to enjoy verses hyping the expectation in an age that LOTR changed cinema storytelling. The main redeeming quality is the Misty Mountain song was perfection.

  7. I’d be more impressed if Marvel owned up to it and not be cowards.

  8. The Avengers cast members look like they are constipated whenever Brie Larson opens her mouth.

  9. I’m always amazed when someone doesn’t take Steven Spielberg’s advice. The man is worth more than an encyclopedia of knowledge of how to run a film, you might not always agree with everything he says, but you have got to be stupid to not take his word of advice seriously when it comes to creating a film. Here’s the kicker, he might have the most insight of running a film and entertainment studio, yet it’s well known he has humbled himself to reach out to those starting in the industry and he finds ways to ask questions to learn from them. The guy is on the same level as Alfred Hitchcock, yet he still finds ways to learn what he can and share his knowledge because he actually cares about the craft of making a film. So the lesson is this, if Steven Spielberg gives you a warning of advice, please take it for your’s and your crew’s sanity and safety 🙏
