Alien and Aliens were my favorite sci-fi movies when I was a kid. I was so excited when Aliens 3 came out and it was a complete let down right in the intro. I hate that movie so much, I'll watch Resurrection over and over before I'll watch 3 again.

The Alien franchise should have never existed. Aliens is complete garbage! The first film was one of the most perfect horror films I've ever seen in my life and it should have remained a standalone classic like Jaws should have.

I thought the world had agreed that JP3 never happened? Lol.

B.W. Macky When I was younger I really loved this film because of the Spinosaurus, Pterodactyls, and I found it hilarious laughing at how dumb Eric’s parents were.

I don't remember this and I owned the trilogy when I was young and watched over and over. I just died of laughing. It caught me off guard and looked so ridiculous

JP3 is still one of my favorite movies. I’ve seen the original JP and JP3 too many times for me too count. I think it’s due to me growing up watching them repeatedly.

I love that scene. It is dumb but I just love it.

Don’t forget “jumping the phalanx” from Hobbit 3.

That fridge scene was ridiculous but so was 3 people using a rubber raft as a parachute in temple of doom. No I am not defending crystal skull. I hated it but gotta be fair if we are talking ridiculous moments.

I could definitely see Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor.

Cranston as Luthor. This is what the world absolutely needs. We shouldn't even bother funding scientific research anymore unless we do this.

@@thetangieman3426 Awesome Bryan fucking Cranston as Lex Luther. And The DCU fucks the MCU twice.

Bryan Cranston possibly could've saved that movie.

Totally agree

The bad-CGI army ants scene didn't help either. Also, Harrison Ford's didn't seem to be fully committed to the part.

GoodRiddanceGooglePlus whatever your feelings about their religious significance, the ark of the covenant and the holy grail were ACTUAL objects that actually existed. I didn’t like the ufo story in IJ4 because it seemed like it came from a different movie. I enjoyed most of the movie though, even though parts were completely ridiculous... sometimes ridiculous is still entertaining.

Maybe casting the aging Harrison Ford in yet another Indiana Jones movie was the problem from the very beginning.

For me it was the aliens. Whether you believe in religion or not all the other movies were in that theme. It established the world for the movie and then added something out of nowhere. It would almost be like if the machine from Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs was actually malfunctioning because of an evil witch.

@DejaVoodooDoll there were a lot of People that cared, but even if no one did, most "fakely (not too sure About this one) outraged" sw fans have a Problem with her almost perfect Fighting and flight skills, despite the lack of any Training in either of them….besides all the other Problems the new star wars movies have. and yes, both luke and Vader/anakin had extensive Training in at least the Fighting skills (anakin had less, but he was said to be "the Chosen one" and even he got a bunch of Training, i am Talking years here)

@DejaVoodooDoll did you even watch the empire strikes back? Training and all? luke got broken by his Father, despite the Training he has received. when did she nearly crash the falcon? she was working for a junkyard-boss, ships on a junkyard dont work anymore normally. despite his minor injury (shot to the lower Abdomen, if i am not completely wrong, being sealed of immediately), kylo should have killed her in that Scene....a trained sith against a fucking child that was able to hold a stick, i mean come on. that letting the force fight fo you doesnt work that way either, we know that you have to be Born with extensive capabilities with the force, rey being nobody and never having shown any signs of force capabilities doesnt really work by that already establsihed logic. your "Definition" of a fan is pretty inaccurate.

@@guimagsantos I saw "The Force Awakens" once when it was released. I was so disappointed that from this point on i haven't watched any new Star Wars movies. Recently i tried watching it again, thinking maybe it wasn't so bad...i only made it to the first Disney-slapstick-comedy-scene with Kylo and the other guy where they look at each other etc

The little girl and Michael Beihn dying in Alien 3 sucked. The sole survivor of Prometheus ending up dead at the beginning of Alien Covenant sucked. Making Jim Phelps a bad guy in the first Mission Impossible movie sucked. Making Rhinox a villain in Transformers Beast Machines sucked. Making Scrappy Doo a villain in Scooby Doo 2: Monster Unleashed sucked.

This is exactly what I was thinking! Indiana Jones and aliens- nope! I was still hopeful for the movie being able to salvage itself until then.

The Fridge was weird but it was definitely the dumb aliens plot that was the issue

@@cheekbonestrenchcoat It seems that a sequel to the original three with an aged protagonist played by Harrison Ford was a bad idea from the beginning. Some things are better left alone.

Yahtzee!

Luthor in the 90's animated Superman series = best Luthor. Sauve, cunning, psychotic. But also could be very practical when he needed to be.

Agreed.

I never watched the film, but when someone identified him as Luthor, I was like "Wait, I thought that was the Riddler." Honestly, if you replaced every time someone said "Lex Luthor" with "The Riddler" or "E. Nigma",...well, it wouldn't have made the movie much better, but it'd be one less thing people would complain about, I think.

Exactly. I always thought Luthor was an evil scientist, not a mad scientist (to quote Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz).

I thought this Lex was the only one that satisfyingly explained why someone as intelligent as Lex would do something as pants on head stupid as fighting Superman.

Crunchie Venison after watching The Last Jedi I don’t blame him, that character was borderline useless in that movie. Only redeeming quality is she died

Ahh, my brothers gf gave up on him too when he didn't marry her

Eh, Laura Dern was too good for Alan. (Also, as some Critics have pointed out: she had more chemistry with Ian Malcolm than she did with Alan, lol)

Ye, I hate it when they do things like that. To make things worse it was just because the director didn't think they looked like a couple. If that's the case they should've gotten a different director.

Uh, do you guys mean Ellie Sattler? Because Laura Dern is an actor, Ellie Sattler is the character she portrayed. Characters can't marry actors.

Agreed. I don’t get it.

But what if it sucks? Honestly midichlorians didn’t kill the prequels it was Anakin as a character what a git

Actually if you look into Star Wars lore midichlorians are in everyone but they aren’t all force sensitive, as the force itself chooses in a way who to gift with those abilities with different people being more adept with it than others meaning it’s still mysterious.

@@ljstudios410 ...how many people actually know that? Or care?

@@visceratrocar oh just piss off

What's a midichlorian?

Oh god, yeah lmao. As I kid I liked it cuz I was glad she survived but now, I mean, I'm still glad she survived but boy was that silly.

I think the girl killing a raptor was studio mandated.

Oof, yeah. The movie has some truly amazing scenes: the trailer cliff scene was a great take on the same scene in the book, and the raptors in the tall grass taking out a bunch of armed mercenaries was Spielberg magic. That raptor gymnastics kill was awful, though, and the whole T-rex rampage in San Diego at the end never quite worked for me (save for the very end where they recapture it and it feeds Ludlow to the baby Rex, which also borrowed from a scene in the book and was actually pretty perfect).

IT’S A HIGH HIDE! YOU HIDE AND GET HIGH!

Yeah but that didn´t really hurted that much as "ALAN!"

Yeah the whole Midichlorian thing is basically a bad attempt of saying "Mana" but in a sci-fi way.

@@DepravedMorgath Exactly, it wasn't the best thing ever but I don't understand why it's such a big "NO" for many people.

True. The arguments against midichlorians include the part where they say "the force flows through everything". Saying midichlorians go against that. But goofies forget Qui Gon also said midichlorians help us connect with the force. He never negated the force flowing. It would also allow for a more in depth pseudoscience. Midichlorians and the force could work on the quantum level...which would totally explain like...everything. Especially interstellar communications of the force and people "sensing" one another. Midichlorians would put out signals, hormones etc to the body, brain and nervous system, allowing one to perceive danger, move faster, heal, strength, etc. The force would be lowest of low level particle/energy similar to light. Flows as an energy, but can be a particle with mass working in a chain, if altered right. Telekinesis, force push and even lightning could be explained by that. The brain sends the signals to the midichlorians to alter the force energy in the body to turn to a particle. Can alter them in a "chain" like formation to lift, pull, and push objects. Can "charge" the force to attract and flow electrons for the force lightning effect. Force powers are just an extension of one's imagination/ingenuity. Like how Leia pulled herself back to the ship. Midichlorians put her body in a stasis of sorts, the force energy turned into particles forming a "rope", and she simply "pulled" herself to the ship. The mind links are done through quantum entanglement of the force particles and midichlorians that communicate with the mind.

For all that Star Wars is considered Science-Fiction, it was always more "Fantasy" than having anything close to resembling science. Star Wars was a Soap opera in space, and I think most people preferred the more nebulous concept of the Force. By defining the Force in some pseudo-scientific terms, it eliminated some of the mystery of the Force itself (and I don't believe fans wanted that mystery destroyed). Don't get me wrong, this isn't what made me groan about the prequels. Much of that was the later dialog /interaction between Anakin & Padme (attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith). In terms of the Phantom Menace, I thought it solid enough...with Jar Jar being annoying and Anakin fighting a space battle as a boy (destroying a Capital ship) being outright absurd.

Because the force was in everything, even "the rock" according to Yoda.

Yessss. Honestly, the only thing I actually liked in that sequel was who the real villain ended up being. Everything else was so bad.

When they killed off Mako

That movie was so bad I honestly couldn't finish watching it - and I loved the first one.

you guys are funny thinking Pacific Rim had a plot. it was a good movie because we could watch giant robots fighting giant monsters like Transformers giant robots fighting and transforming.

@@extratool8490 I think that Pacific Rim (1) was appealing because it was about robots fighting monsters for non-stupid reasons. PC2 just throws that straight out the window and goes full popcorn.

Yeah especially with how much they focused on how Luke being Anakin's son made him so dangerous. Clearly there's a genetic component, yet people were shocked to find there was a reason? The biggest crime of that scene was that it explained magic, and it's generally better not to do that. Bad scene, but not for the reasons they cited and not nearly as bad as Luke throwing the lightsaber over his shoulder.

I was actually dismayed by that inclusion. Of all the things in The Phantom Mess that turned me off, I did not even think about that one. The Jedis are less mystical, the pod race was a freaking joke, Jar Jar was annoying af (although Darth Jar Jar has given me more respect for him since), Anakin as a kid, Qui Gon being an idiot, and on and on...

@@zatoth13 Hey, I loved that pod race!

Also Lucas had the Idea for midi-chlorians as early as 1977. The following is a reddit post by u/Darknast, (I did not write this, but I agree with his point of view.): I just finished reading the book "The Making of Star Wars" by JW Rinzler, a very interesting book wich i recomend to any fan to read. At the end of the book there is an extract of an interview with Carol Titelman where George Lucas expands the backstory of some characters and other thing of Star Wars wihch was needed for writers to write novelizations, comics, etc. I found very interesting one section of the explanation of the force. This are George Lucas words in 1977: "The Force gives you the power to have extrasensory perception and to be able to see things and hear things, read minds and levitate things. It is said that certain creatures are born with a higher awareness of the Force than humans. Their brains are different; they have more midi-chlorians in their cells*."* Personally i never understood the problem with the midi-chlorians, never bothered me, but i find pretty ironic that George Lucas got criticized to hell by hardore fans for "Killing the mistique of the force" by introducing the midi-chlorians in TPM when in fact the concept existed since the first movie. Anyway, i just wanted to share the extract of the interview because i freked out when i saw those words in a 1977 and i thought it was interesting.

Same. I never thought the force was up for grabs lol

Sorry, I think you mean "Zeistlander". And then the blurp on the back of the case: "Highlander 2: The Quickening is the smartest sci-fi thriller since Blade Runner." DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.

Didn't Palpatine create the midochorians in Anakin, to have him be born and ultimately become his servant? It seems to hint at that in ROTS when Anakin is talking to Palpatine at the opera.

@@dhenderson1810 The Clone Wars was almost ruined because no one had the balls to explain in better

Right? It got meme'd but honest to god so did a lot of the stuff in the second film too (Keep out of the tall grass!). We just don't recall it as much now that time has passed and there's much worse moments in the newest.

I saw it in theatres and remember the audience laughing at that moment.

I don’t like it because he never saw that raptor before

maybe because it made it look silly

I even consider it a great scene, because it dosent ruin any important moment, is just a silly moment that does little to no harm

Yep, I kept expecting Roxy to show back up, but she never did :/

Poor Lancelot

Killing Roxy off was definitely the problem I kinda liked the Harry thing...

My love for the series almost instantly vanished when they killed Harry and (even though im an american) when they killed off most of the Brits in favor of making the movie about America saving the day I just walked out.

His numerous moments morphed into a questionable exact moment.

Interesting take on it, I like it.

I agree 100%

Hero? Ya.... right....🙄

@@mixerD1- "Hero's journey" is a literary device, not a statement of the character's personality or even actions. It's "whose story is this? Who goes through the most change in their arc?" Hence the quotation marks, denoting a title. For example, the original Star Wars trilogy: Luke is the MC so it's his "hero's journey". However, the Prequels are Anakin's "hero's journey" because HE is the MC--but no o9ne tries to argue that Anakin is a Good Guy, or in the way you mean it, a hero. Whatever one thinks of Elizabeth: the story starts with her dream/recollection, carries through to the end, where she waits on the beach. She /changes/ through the trilogy (for good, or ill; it doesn't matter). SHE is the one who wants the adventure, whose character drives the plot forward. Will? He's just the love interest. Jack? Sidekick-cum-antagonist. Neither Jack nor Will essentially change who they are. Will starts out an honourable scoundrel and ends the same way; Jack only shows some stuff that was already there; he doesn't change at all. Elizabeth goes from being a silly girl who does as she's told to a woman who raises a son alone, and has become what she is no matter how she had to do it. She also goes through the most Actual Tragedy, having lost her father and her livelihood and also her love for 10 years at a stretch. She's the one who has grown/devolved/changed the most. Hence, it is her "hero's journey".

@@Bethgael Ya I don't see much change in any of them. They're just "a lot of fun" films. I do understand the "hero's journey" concept and I think you're reading it into these films too much. They're a bit of fun and adventure...but to say any of them have changed much after it? We'll just have to agree to disagree.🤷

I thinks that's a great hypothesis.

@@nDjinn1 agreed the other tico sister seemed way more interesting, also prettier.

Nah the midchilorians were worse.

Then you must be under 35. If you grew up on the original 3 films and felt the Force as a kind of hokey but cool religion - that midichlorian reveal was a total kick to the balls and a huge sign that Lucas didn't revere his creation as much as the fans did so the rest of what he was going to do was going to be played for money and laughs. TFA was sort of redeeming while TLJ broke Star Wars for good for wayyyyyyy too many reasons to even list here.

I found it funny

All you need to say is Transformers 2. No need for any details after that.

Awh come on. Its transformers. Not meant to be good haha

Excellent point, I had blocked that out of my mind

Transformers have nards

I agree wholeheartedly, but then I also consider the second film a complete miscarriage from the Indy v the Nazis series.

It was bad then, too.

@Ultra CNC There isn't a thing believable about it. From that height every bone in your body would be powder.

@Ultra CNC There are several very obvious differences there. You can't be serious. 😂

@Ultra CNC Not really, just that it's equally absurd to believe they'd be totally fine. Nobody addresses or criticizes it, in a franchise built around literal supernatural shenanigans, yet somehow the fridge is too much - which is ludicrous.

Although they are pretty much the same character

Jessie was playing a version of the Joker from Batman Forever as played by Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carey. Now I know you are thinking, but mkreps1, either of those actors were supposed to be playing the Joker. Yes. That's the problem with those movies.

...after watching 'Now You See Me', i could not believe he was cast as Lex. & after watching 'Bv.S' i was right...we were right.

I pretty much won't watch anything with Jesse Eisenberg. He is the most annoying actor.

MadameChaotica Zombieland and The Social Network are incredible.

The entire film of TLJ.......much worse than midichlorians.

b...but how else will they fit their anti-capitalism message in? *chuckles* i just love how Roundhead Johnson made Rose go on an anti-capitalist tirade in a film owned by DISNEY....

Hey come on, they freed animals who are probably going to get captured again within the hour and left the child slaves who are probably going to be beaten for letting the animals get taken away, if anything that sequence shows the First Order might be preferable to people that stupid.

I didn't think any of the Episode I,II,III were great by any means. Jar Jar or young Anakin in the space ship killing everyone was almost the moment to stop me caring. A combination of just boring dialogue and pointless scenes made me lose interest, but the the whole episode 3 higher ground, and Darth Vaders "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo" I was like alright, dont care anymore lol

@@GenericUsername-qp1ww Criticism of capitalism =/= anti-capitalism. The film had a valid point, in that capitalism without morality is predatory and destructive.

I think in that movie's universe you only stay immortal as long as you keep drinking regularly. Remember, the knight who left the cave and came back to Venice (the one whose tomb they found in the catacombs) did eventually die of old age.

@@brucetucker4847 you're not wrong. But ALSO in the movie, when Indy and the bad guys are in the cavern with the ghost, the ghost Knight did NOT correct the Nazi when the Nazi states, "whoever drinks the water shall have eternal life." The Knight never said that the Nazi was wrong. So, I think we can both agree that neither one of us are wrong. It seems like a continuity error in the movie. We get certain information and then when it becomes relevant, we get different information. The contradiction is there.

@@kevinmacdonald3574 His father also drank from the grale... and in the next movie we found out he had died.

NO! He left the temple and thus began aging again.

@@davidforbes4392 and not to mention when indie starts to leave the knight tells him he will be gin to age normally so the premise of immortality is that you are that as long as you never leave reflecting back to jesus that as jesus put it in his words " those who believe in me shall never die" not quite as literal as that but the message is the same

Apparently homework is necessary in order to enjoy the film.

True, however Paradox also states there are multiple Clovers. The first film is most likely another parallel Earth.

@@Cursed_Mark I had no problem understanding it. Maybe you're slow.

They also tease at the end of the first film that the monster is still alive. It could have survived to grow to that size. There's also the possibility that it was able to reproduce, leading to the several other clover monsters reported in Paradox.

@@GrandSupremeDaddyo it's pretty obvious that there would have to be multiple, otherwise where did it come from? Born from nothing? It either has to asexually or sexually reproduce. So it either has parents, or has a genetic copy in the ocean. It doesn't have to be a parallel earth simply because paradox did a shitty explanation of the multiverse theory. I'm not discrediting the possibility, simply stating that it doesn't HAVE to be a parallel earth. And even if it had parents, it's base instinct would be to reproduce, like all other life. Protecting it's own species. Simply because paradox has more than one does not remove the possibility that the Cloverfield monster from the first movie didn't find a mate, meaning it could very well not purposefully attacking new your. Similar to Pacific rim. The monsters weren't attacking the cities on purpose, their goal was to get to a specific destination. The original monster could have had a specific place to go, likely to find a mate, but New York just happened to be in the way. This isn't hard to understand people.

I liked the movie too. It was satisfying watching Harry get back to form by the end.

I don't know anyone who didn't like it

@Daniel Garrett If Anakin was Annie, as in a girl, it could potentially happen, but having a son that way is not possible.

You're wrong, T3 was rated R. T3 is great, it improved on the suspense by making the T 800 more callous than the wussified T 800 in T2 that had to do what a little kid said and wasn't allowed to fatally shoot humans. It restored Judgement Day, thereby fixing the narrative, and took away the bratty kid and the happy ending of T2. It showed the moment Skynet took over, which was exciting. There's a lot to like in T3. It only suffers from a lack of Linda Hamilton and a villain that isn't as menacing as the T 1000/800.

Midichlorians didn't bother me, nor did Jar Jar the thing that ruined it for me was 'POD RACING'

I can't understand why they don't have Clancy Brown shave his head and step into the role. He's an intimidating looking guy, and knows the character inside and out from (properly/seriously) voicing him in the Superman cartoons of the 90s.

Every single thing said here is better than what they did, by far.

nah the original trilogy is perfect

@@bamleith3095 yeah people still are down on the 2nd and 3rd films but I never understood that. They were just as a good as the first, less self-contained (the 2nd one pretty much just says "now watch the 3rd") but still brilliant in all the other ways. The focus shift onto Jack carrying the franchise absolutely began at the 4th film. Never before that did it *depend* on him and that's the key. He's not a character that can carry a film by himself. Didn't help that the performance from him from 4 onward seemed a bit uninvested as well, but regardless, the main fault was absolutely how centered around him the plot was. As well as the loss of a bunch of other characters who helped gel the films together previously. It's a bit like Jack says in the 3rd film: "the world's not getting smaller mate, there's just less of it". Kinda prophetic for what was to come. I think they did a bit better with the 5th film and people are a little harsh on it, however it still retains the same essential problem. If they ever wanna make another good entry in that series (which I don't think they even need to do), they want it to be about all the pirates interacting with each other, not just one of them interacting with another. Pirates are meant to be duplicitous and turncoaty, that's part of the fun. A straightforward protag vs antag thing isn't a great fit, you want twists and betrayals, divided loyalties and begrudging alliances of self-interest in there. The 3rd film was wonderful especially in that particular way. When the focus is just on one character versus another for the whole thing, you can't have that at all and no wonder it feels more shallow.

@@Torthrodhel I was really hoping On Stranger Tides would turn out well since I really liked the book - and pretty much everything else by Tim Powers. The book is basically a pirate-themed horror novel. Which they turned into a slapstick comedy.....

@@flatebo1 that's a shame, and I had no idea there were books. And that sounds like a daft tone conversion indeed!

@@Torthrodhel Most of Tim Powers' books are weird historical fantasies where he mashes together two different magical/mythic traditions. Last Call has a bunch of gamblers convening in Las Vegas to compete for the position of Fisher King by playing Tarot poker, for example. The Anubis Gates mashes together Jack the Ripper, werewolves mummies and time travel. On Stranger Tides has a Frenchman and an Englishwoman captured by voodoo-using pirates in league with Blackbeard who is searching for the Fountain of Youth. Kinda obvious why they'd think it would make a good fit for a Pirates movie, as long as you ignore the tone of the novel.

Despite all of the things about SW I find dumb the moment when leia flew back into the space ship made me want to turn the movie off lolololol that is such fucking bad writing, even for something I already find shitty. Guess it had something to do with the SJW stuff disney is cramming into it? idk, dont really care either lol it was so cringy though.

Tarantino has the opposite approach: Write and become intimately familiar with the entire backstory of every hero and villain of the film, share that story with the respective actor, and don't reveal any of it to the audience. It's used as a device to provide motivation, rather than a story-telling crutch.

I think that’s one of the reasons why the Last Jedi received such a negative response. JJ set up mysteries with Snoke and Rey’s parents and then Rian throws both of them out.

Yeah. The movie sucks, and the fact that they tried to pull the gender card made matters worse for everyone involved.

MysteryBounty Yeah bad movie but I doubt the Ghostbusters film we will get in 2020 will be good.

@@TheAndradeCS It feels like any movie that fails these days pulls the gender card

@@liamwalton4183 Eh, not really. Plenty of movies bombed last year that didn't pull out any race card nor gender card, such as Mortal Engines, that new Robin Hood movie, that damm Nutcracker movie Disney put out, and that Valerian movie that came and went. As a matter of fact, plenty of movies completely flop and just dissapear, never to be remembered again. The reason Ghostbusters is remembered is because of the ernomous clusteruck that happened all around the movie's release.

@@TheAndradeCS *looks at Captain Marvel * Well, then hold on to your fucking hat...

maybe it was much more important to burn down that tree using force powers in terms of how much they could save and how much they could prevent from happening than anything we saw in the previous movies

It's the same with using the hyperdrive to wipe out an entire fleet, or introducing fuel into star wars, both of which retcon the rest of the series (the fleet crippling one especially so since that's not even how that worked in TFA, when they used it to sneak past Starkiller Base's shields).

IT's not force lightning. He draws lightning down from the clouds. It's no different than when Obi-Wan's ghost sat down on a log in ROTJ.

@@adamkingrey556 That didn't affect the log, and drawing lightning out like that is exactly what force lightning is.

@@lich109 No, force lightning is something that emanates directly from the force. In TLJ, Yoda used the force on the clouds above them to produce natural lightning.

pretty much same opinion - glad I am not the only one. And proof that he was born from midichlorians and most probably Darth Plagueis is Anakins creator :)

I like to think that midichlorians are attracted to the Force. If you're strong in the Force you have a high count, so they're an indicator of Force strength not the cause of it.

@@grumpyoldman3458 That was always my take on it, from the start.

I hate "the chosen one" storylines & concepts **eyes rolling**...& that's exactly the point, that yes, absolutely anyone of us could, can & does have access to the Force which is "an energy field, created by all living things. It surrounds us & penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together"; in many cases, it's the "force of Will" that is actually on display...like the force choke - just look at any situation such as a board/council meeting, etc. where one character makes another stop talking cold with no words able to come out of their mouth & throat with just a single sideways glance...**THAT** is what is on display when Darth Vader "force chokes" a subordinate officer in an early scene from Episode IV (nevermind that Grand Moff Tarkin is shown throughout the entire film to hold superiority & dominance over Vader himself...although the case could be made that Vader *knew* how everything would eventually happen - another aspect of the force is the ability to see things before they happen, or to guess the most probable of all possible outcomes...also known as 'Intuition', which again, we every single one of us all have to varying degrees of sensitivity & which can also be further developed through training, etc. - & that he also knew what Tarkin's eventual fate would be, & simply let him & all the events take their course). Either way, it's no surprise that these ill-conceived "midiclohrians" were never mentioned again in any substantial manner almost immediately after their unasked-for-&-unwelcome introduction...if we take the viewpoint of "everything is canon", then I can live with the fact that maybe these microscopic organisms are attracted to Force-users, & are an indication of their current Force-sensitivity, etc. it could even be spun so that it's also an indicator of Sith sentiments, as they could be averse to those leaning on/towards Dark-side tendencies.

literally trying to block the fact that anything after T2 exist.

Osian Coleman u can also watch smallville if you want a good lex

He thought he was playing the riddler

The original two Superman films. Gene Hackman’s Luthor is Legendary. Also Clancy Brown voicing lex in the Animated Series, Justice League, And so on

@@isaacjones5407 Smallville made me see Lex's point of view and I almost makes you want to switch sides!!! Psychological manipulation and strategy, THAT's Lex's 'power.' Something superman lacks and doesn't understand cause there were no necessities that forced him to hone those skills.

@@eggsnspam psychological manipulation and strategy is exactly the tools lex used in batman vs superman, and I think that it was a good reimagining of the character, a genius on the verge of a mental breakdown and paranoid about the threat of an alien invasion, its about the only reason a tech billionaire would try to go after superman

This video is made a couple days ago. Picking on the tired cliched Phantom Menace that, at most, dealt a mostly healed skin deep glancing hit to the Star Wars brand decades ago instead of anything from the recent much more apocalyptic nuclear bomb that critically wounded the brand and casted huge doubt on the future of the Franchise known as the Last Jedi, is very suspicious to say the least.

I never hated micocholrians. The original trilogy already firmly stated that jedi/sith powers are congental.

the 3rd fucking death star turned up to 11. Swtor story for after the death of the emperor was soooo much better.

Disney is ruining Star Wars like its their job. oh wait

jarjar the worst character rose & holdo: hold our soy milks

And the single greatest meme since 'One does not simply walk into Mordor'

@Darryl Ruiz not as painful as the parody the last Jedi

Me thinking Jack was a main character is why I've always hated the show

Thats because he's the most likeable, quotable, enjoyable character and everyone identifies the series with him. But narrative wise, he is a secondary support character which is important to realize if you're a writer. The more boring/every guy main character is critical to a good story.

@@ffs6158 comic relief.

Pirates of the Caribbean never had a protagonist, it had protagonists, both Will and Jack were going for the same objective, but with diferent motivations.

Same here...

Same, I mean it doesn't take away from the mystique of the force in the slightest. The scene where they're explained just says they're an interface between the force and life, so saying that takes away from the mystery of this cosmic phenomenon is like saying someone who knows how keyboards interact with computers would then obviously understand the ins and outs of digital electronics and be able to design a circuit board and how to write a program to use it.

I agree. Reminds me of Super Saiyans. Though that explanation for turning is retarded

No, it adds modern Earth sciency BS to it unnecessarily

@@jebatman756 no all it does is turn an overly soft power/magic system with essentially no limitations put on its use to one that says only a certain few people have the potential to use it, so for example there's no way Luke can teach Han how to use the force. Establishing rules and limitations on the Jedi Order is required for the worldbuilding taking place in the prequels because after all why aren't there billions of Jedi in the Order if just anyone can learn to ise the force, wouldn't basic force techniques be taught to everyone if it's just a matter of study. That question needed to be resolved if the setting in the original trilogy was to continue to makes sense. All the mediclorians explaination does is establish an in-universe force sensitivity litmus test for people, that's it and keep in mind it is science fiction, them having advanced scientific knowledge about somethong like the force shouldn't be unexpected. Tl;dr it's required in the narrative, it has very little impact on the story being told and it's an entirely logical result of the setting.

Yea allot of "fans" hate the "new" star wars stuff coming out not knowing george Lucas made it ALL back in the day just NEVER released it.... gasp. You hate the original idea of star wars if you hate the new movies. Sorry the universe isn't filled with only wookies and storm troopers and incest

Although Die Hard 4 was a pretty decent film. (Die Hard 5 was really rubbish)

Good call. I had forgotten about the latter Die Hard movies.

About the first hour of Die Hard 3. I loved the game of Simon Says. Then it became boring and predictable.

Surfing on a jet plane, I seem to remember :(

Die Hard 4 was badass when launched a cop car into helicopter

SuperGoker64 Yes that! It made no sense and it ruined one of my fav characters.

Ya know, the series is kinda still ongoing. Pretty sure that's going to be a strong narrative thread in part 3. I bet she defects.

Handsome Jack, it’s 90% Star Wars and hating on Last Jedi (deservedly so).

seeing as they went with harry having survived being literally shot point blank in the head, i thought it was interesting & appropriate to see the recovery process. plus, it's a neat flip from the hyper-competency he displayed in the previous film. i didn't love the sequel as much because the tone seemed a bit off to me, but it definitely wasn't because of that... "exact moment," if you'd call it such.

I'll give you the Golden Circle and Harry not being at 100% movie was still bad. But Alien 3. No, Hicks was killed in the crash of the escape pod. A safety support broke and went through him. Newt Drowned, possibly because of a hole puncher though her pod by the facehugger.

Not to mention confused rusty Harry is hilarious through the whole movie. Colin Firth pulled that off so well.

The whole point of the Force is that is MYSTICAL - not something that can be explained and quantified by science.

@@brucetucker4847 you are correct, that is what made people annoyed with it... that isn't the reason this video gave tho

CHECK HIS MIDICLORIAN COUNT!! (Palpatine is found out in the middle of AotC and Anakin never becomes Darth Vader. The galaxy is saved by someone who knows how to use plot devices!) ;D

Hackman's Luthor did have a comedic glint in his eye, but I think the original Superman series was much more light hearted. It worked, right down to his raging insecurity over the Man of Steel.

but all the Last Jedi haters are morons -- you guys threw tantrums because LJ didn't simply RETREAD the original trilogy the way Force Awakens was (almost) a beat-for-beat remake of Last Hope. Internet fandom HATES it when their speculation is wildly off...

@@herobreaker9011 I take it from the opinion that I like my star wars movies 'star wars movies.' Episode 8 was a good 'movie.' However, from my point of view, Last Jedi was a bad 'star wars movie.' Star Wars movies have always had a thematic payoff. But the Last Jedi squandered it's story. The idea of sacrificing established plotlines to throw viewers off, rather than to use said plotlines and story wise elements, is narratively wasteful. But that's just my opinion.

I really didn't mind the prequels, the Disney films are a complete insult to my intelligence.

@@herobreaker9011 Judging by your reply it doesn't appear that TLJ haters are the ones having tantrums.

Yeah LJ was truly unoriginal, simple reworking of destroying the death star. Episode 1 was okay but 2 and 3 put me off the first time and then came prequel 7 which was BAD and unoriginal and Hans solo dying in front of riley were the same as obi one kanobi dying in front of luke. Acting was bad especially from kylo ren lol.

@@revbladez5773 Um Dan is obviously not confusing it since he already said it was in the 60s.

A very interesting theory. Thanks, I hadn't thought of that!

I will add to this I still haven't seen that fucking movie nor will I for the rest of my days on earth. Like holy shit I could have five thousand strokes a heart attack and hit by a car and come up with a WAAAAAAYYYY better idea than what in the hell I witnessed seeing pigs spluttered is damn near next to pornographt to this concept of shit I sort of half saw on a trailer

Libby Kay I agree with you. Harry was shot point blank in the head, how exactly is he going to be the exact same person when he should be dead?

I kind of wish Harry had remained dead but oh well it's fine, what really annoyed me was when they killed of Roxy within the first 20 minutes of the movie.

I was disappointed when they killed Marv.

@@markusp.8376 Who is Marv?

I can buy that. Executive Meddling is a surefire way to kill any franchise.

I know that Avi Arad wanted a Venom movie pretty much since it was created in the comics. Even in the 90's series, Venom is front and center in the opening titles despite not showing up until about a year later. I hope the urge for Venom has died down a bit after the movie last year.

'-' '0' 😂

Stop it now!
