You Are Strong & Wise Fellow Prequel Lovers and I Am Very Proud Of You

Movie 1: Anakin is afraid to lose people he loves Movie 2: He dreams his mother dies tries to save her on his own and she dies Movie 3: Anakin dreams about losing padme. He refuses to let her die like his mother. The jedi can't help him. The sith can. So he turns to the dark side to save her and he ends up killing her How is this always so hard for people to get?

This entire series is what people who like the prequels need

“It’s no that it’s too long, it’s just that you’re lazy” E X A C T L Y, hate when people reply to a KZfaqr about whatever topic and don’t even respond to all of it because “it’s too long”

Cosmo: The characters spell everything out that they’re going to do. Also Cosmo: How can I be expected to know what they’re feeling if they don’t spell it out?

Cosmo: these characters don’t have traits. Qui-Gon: uses the force outside of what a Jedi would. Is ok with gambling. Ok with mind tricking wato for a hyperdrive. Is sassy, compassionate. Never once tries to tell Anakin to get over his mom, something the counsel would want to. Feels fine to threatening watto. admires obi-wan. Respects the gungan chieftain. Obi-Wan: Is eager to jump into action and does the most acrobatics(front flips, jumping kicks etc) has reservations about Qui-Gon’s ways but respects him regardless. Considered Anakin and JarJar pathetic life forms, thus thinking. Is apprently Qui-Gon’s go to pilot, and is good with technology(fixing the underwater speeder, trying to fix the hyperdrive, knows they could be traced if they answer the Naboo senator). Padme: Cleary cares for her people and would rather die than leaving them alone. Willing to spearhead violent operations, not caring about her life, despite being a queen. Is compassionate to all people(statement about slavery on tattoine). Is very pragmatic about Qui-Gon’s gambling. Willing to do the dirty work(or clean up R2) becomes depressed when she can’t do anything for her people. Anakin: Fearful. Good with tech. Being born on a sad planet sets up his dislike for sand. Is very trusting( of a 6ft man he just met). Sees the good in life. Promises to come back for his mother. Showcases tons of love for his mother, Padme and an endearing respect for Qui-Gon. Apologizes to Qui-Gon for being not good enough to pass the Jedi counsel(if I remember correctly) illustrating his self doubt. Being a good pilot and speed racer(???? Speeder racer?) Darth Maul: Cold, machine like. Silent. A hunter. Motivated by revenge. Prideful. Not all traits need to be told to the audience via clunky expositional dialogue like in Shane Black’s predator. Showing is much more valuable than telling in Cinema, regarding you watch the movie to try and understand rather than watching it to just harp and make fun of.

Anomaly is the chosen one, he will bring Balance to the Prequels.

So I am a Czech and english is not my native language. I UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS JAR JAR SAYNIG SINCE I WAS 12.

Cosmonaut: "It doesn't make sense from a simple writing perspective." Me: "But Yoda's speech pattern does?"

Cosmonaut: Star Wars should be simple. Also Cosmonaut: Sidious’s goal is too simple. And yet people actually take this man seriously.

Oh man, the irony of that dude saying that at least the spin-off movies are experimental when literally ALL 6 STAR WARS MOVIES are experimental. The most famous experimental movies I'd say.

I would be embarrassed to make a video if I was in Cosmonaut Variety Hour's shoes, so basically, he watches a movie, doesn't understand the plot that can be understood by a 12 years old kid, then he complains about that?

It's amazing this guy has been (self admittingly) watching this movie for 20 years and he still doesn't get what the prequals are about and how it all fits together

"I didn't understand the plot of this movie for 20 years" There's a literal title crawl in the beginning of the movie explaining everything I -

While the OT will always hold a special place in my heart, I’ve always found the prequel era infinitely more interesting. The sequels don’t count

*1999* - omg star wars sux lets never give george lucas a dime again *2012* - omg disney has star wars, yussss give us that spacey goodness mr mouse *2020* - Star Warz is DeD - "why would anyone do this" Prequel haters are the WORST

The prequels are more original and imaginative than anyone’s actual “critique” of them.

"This movie is not fun to make fun of" Cosmo has zero self awareness

“Star Wars should be simple.” Whenever there is war in any medium, it will never ever be simple. Unless idk you’re a bad writer or something thinking it’s all about the good vs bad and shit similar to it.

The intro was actually really insightful

It took the guy 20 years to figure out the plot to a movie "made for 12 year olds". How people can actually take Cosmos video seriously after admitting something like that is beyond me.

It's so dumb that he(cosmonaut) uses his Twitter poll as supporting evidence. Of course most of your fans are going to agree with you. Their your fans. Plus most people are still Largley misinformed. You should actually be surprised at how many people could explain the plot to you. Only a 18% difference and he acts like it's obviously a confusing plot. Oh, but they're probably lieing right? I like how he throws in that little statement about his fans actually being truthful as if most people had voted the other way they'ed have to be lieing about it.

And is cosmo like legit dumb? People aren't mad because that Jet Trooper scene from TROS is like Marvel, it's because Stormtroopers (and Sith and Manda Bounty Hunters whom seem to be based off of) have flown since.... Well forever. TROS has had so many cuts and re-shoots it's impossibly paced.

EXACTLY. The so called sequels are not the original creator's. George Lucas gave us Star Wars and a story. Furthermore, given that the "sequels" don't even continue the story or form a cohesive part of the saga, then by very definition they aren't even sequels. The only "true" story is what the CREATOR intended. And frankly the prequels were awesome, they told a story and form one wholesome saga. I wish we had seen George's sequels as well.

1: cosmonaut has such a punchable voice and face 2: cosmonaut does the exact same thing the people who defend him do. Cherry pick out of context examples to further his point and act as if that wins him the argument 3: at the 11-ish minute mark, cosmonaut says that the characters don't talk about how they feel. While it is done in the film, contrary to his point, most of the character interactions are done with subtlety, how they say stuff and the facial expressions, instead of them blandly stating "this is how I feel" (it's done a couple of time, but only to convey information between characters, instead of to the audience *cough, the last jedi, cough*). I'm willing to bet that, had they had more scenes like this, he'd be complaining that the characters speak what they feel rather than show us.

@18:14 "Even when they are planning the final battle, they don't care." Excuse me? He deliberately didn't show the Jedi trying to talk the queen out of her risky plan. "This is not a good idea." "I can only protect you. I can't fight a war for you." "There is a danger that many Gungans will be killed." "There's an even bigger danger: if the viceroy escapes your highness, he will return with another droid army." Captain Panaka is the most pessamistic character in the film. Since the beginning, he always had something negative to say or to add. He was the one who said the droid army was larger and stronger than they thought. Side note, I've always interpreted this scene to be a reference to the story in the book of Joshua where the Hebrews send spies into the Canaan, and the spies bring back the news that the land is filled with giants and there is no hope of taking the promised land.

NEVER get rid of the intro!

One thing about insults: The people who are complaining about the usage of insults don't understand that just because you use an insult, that doesn't automatically make it an ad hominem. If the perceived insult in question actually has some logical basis, then it's actually part of the argument and not a logical fallacy. Ex: This manager is an idiot, he doesn't pay his workers well and doesn't listen to feed-back from the higher-ups. This statement has an insult, yes. But there is a form of logical reasoning behind the insult so it's not an example of the logical fallacy known as ad hominem.

Oh gosh. What Cosmonaut said about dialogue is so stupid. Jedi tend not to talk about emotions explicitly. They show emotion really well without saying how they feel. I dont *love* the prequels, saying your feelings is not *good* writing. I didn't find it extremely fun to watch, but the way Jedi act is totally accurate. Luke is not a traditional Jedi. Anakin tried to be a traditional Jedi. They all waver a little at times to varying degrees. The "Corny energetic performances", of TROS are not performance issues. It's writing and direction. Even the thing he praises about it is a foolishly argued point.

Bro, the "You can't even read" sequence cracks me up every time lmao

When I first saw The Phantom Menace I immediately understood what's going on. It didn't take me 20 years to figure out the basic premise of a "movie for kids." The prequels are about the fall of the Jedi so of course we're going to see a lot about them. The Jedi are basically space monks and they trained religiously to keep their emotions in check. I'm no monk but I know that keeping calm during stressful situations is essential.

I'm always looking forward to seeing a new episode of "Revenge of the Prequels". It just feels like justice. So many people jumped on this god damned band wagon of hating these movies, now its time to call them out on their bs.

7:14 What's he talking about saying "this looks like vomit"? How does that look like vomit in any way? I could understand if he was showing the Geonosian droid foundry maybe, but I don't see anything ugly about the CGI for Coruscant or the Clone Troopers. Would seeing this in context help explain this?

I've watched the sequels, was left feeling meh and would never want to rewatch. The prequels I loved since first watching as a kid and rewatch them often I honestly don't get why people hated them.

@9:36 "they never talk about how they feel..." 1st five minutes of the 1st movie: "I have a bad feeling about this master."

I rewatched ep 1 yesterday. It has its issues but holds up fine. The CGI characters for the first time I am noticing it but it is over 20 years old. It still looks good considering its age. "Nothing" else bothered me and I actually noticed new details this time like Jabba has a slave girl while watching the podrace in the same outfit as slave Leia or C3PO holds Anakin's flag at the podrace. Strange that I never noticed that it's front and center amoung other things. Phantom Menace holds up better than attack of the clones to me even though the second half of attack of clones is some of my favorite moments in starwars. However I rewatched AotC as well now a couple days after I left this comment and it holds up better as well, love story isn't well implemented and Anakin's dialogue is awful but that is one part of the story. The second half is my favorite in all of star wars. I love the battle of Geonosis. AofC has my top 2 favorite lines in all of SW being "My legs aren't working, I must need maintenance" and "would you like to buy any deathsticks?"" I do not want to buy any death sticks."

“The story is being told through the eyes of the Jedi.” Don’t lecture me, Anomaly! I see though the EYES of the Jedi!

Palpatine's plans make perfect sense, he doesn't lay out his plans like a Bond villian, you have to pay close attention or watch the film multiple times. I love Phantom Mentance upon my rewatch, I was surprised I really liked young Anakin as I usually hate child actors but I thought he did a good job and the writing was good. It shows his good-natured spirit helping others and the farewell with his mum was really well done.

30:40 First point I can add to yours. (Good job btw) Palptine doesn't *politely* try to convince Padmé to sign the treaty as Cosmonaut ignorantly claims. Nute Gunrey is literally holding her people hostage and threatening Padmé with their lives.

“It took 20 years for me to figure out the plot” So this proof that you don’t pay attention to the film and decide to complain. There is literally a essay of words to explain what’s going on IN EVERY STAR WARS MOVIE TO EXIST

Man its almost like Cosmo doesnt know the old saying of “Dont put all your fucking eggs in one basket” or basic military concepts for basic invasions.

oh don't mind me guys,im just hunting some cosmonaut fanboys

I can't believe this cosmonaut guy. Good job again Anomaly Once more Prequels will rule the galaxy And we shall have.. peace

The prologue is perfect. Leave it in.

Cosmonaut: "Every character don't explain how they feel, they only explain what happens next" Same guy: "After 20 years I understood the plot" 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤦‍♀️

I'mma be honest. I don't love the prequel movies. And I've only seen them a couple times, and watched the OG trilogy dozens. BUT -- these videos have given me more appreciation for them. And have encouraged me to watch them again. So, I have to say, it's a job well done.

This guy made the video: return of the jedi sucks (my favourite)... and "why is right to like the force awakens (the worst sw movie in my opinion) so what does he like about sw? Ep 4 and 5... and the sequels?

Nice been looking forward to watch this.

Anomaly: *uploads new vid* Me: *Your presence is soothing.*

9:50 onward Marcus is oversimplifying everything to make it sound dumb instead of specifically explaining why this is a problem. *When critiquing a video game, movies, or books, you never want to do this because it's very incompetent and lazy.*

The prequel hate without a doubt stems from how unlike the originals they were. It's eerie to say the least. And shit like that is very easy to pander to, which is why Disney did it. "Look! The set is real! Look at how these crystal foxes adds to the MYTHOS!"

I’ve been looking forward for this

All those haters comments at the beginning they probably covered their ears while you were providing good points about the PT

"A commitment not easily broken." I personally love the backwards dialogue in the prequels. People take issue with it because they are taking it too literally instead of trying to interpret the words from the characters point of view and how they talk. I think Obi Wan means that it shouldn't be easy to break a commitment because if it is easy for you then you're not a good Jedi. And that if you easily break commitments, then you make it hard on yourself in the situation you're in, and strain other social commitments.

Not gonna lie. I actually didn't know Anakin's mother had a name. Cool to know.

to the protagonist debate: I think you do not necersairly even need a single (or a group of) protagonists in a story and it is very much possible to also shift the protagonist within a movie. Take "Psycho" by Alfred Hitchcock for example where our supposed protagonost, the woman, (SPOILER) is suddenly killed midway through the movie in that infamous shower scene. Now you could argue, well Norman Bates was the protagonist all along but he is also only shown midway through the movie sooo.... does it actually matter that much?

When my own family argued Rey was cool because she had to ‘figure out the force’ instead of any training from either Jedi or Sith...I stopped arguing after that because I then realized that some people will truly not care about the rules regardless of their reasoning. Since then I’ve fallen back on objective facts

At last, the Prequels shall have their revenge. Loving what you're doing with this mate. Not just this video, but the entire series. I mean no ill will against him, but I question Cosmo's ability to understand ANY movie if he can't understand The Phantom Menace or any of the characters. His criticisms are lazy and ignorant. You on the other hand, counter-argue your points well, and I disagree with anyone who says insults destroy credibility. If a stick is a stick, i'll be honest and say it is. Same with arguments. I'm glad you keep the intro, I learn more about how you think with direct insights and a simple video opening that shows the sequence of events that led to Star Wars writing dying.

Cosmonaut needs to open his fucking eyes to both the prequels AND THE SEQUELS!!! The sequels especially, THAT TRILOGY IS AWFUL COSMONAUT!!! DON’T @ ME!

"It took me 20 years to understand the plot of a movie. Maybe I'm a dumbass." You don't fucking say.

Regarding Obi Wan in phantom menace you can see his character traits being that he uphold the jedi code with conviction while also being snarky and sassy guy phrases like "You were right master negotiation were short." and "Why do i sense that we picked up another pathetic life form."

I am so sick of people hating on the prequels. I haven't heard any good arguments except I don't like them. Which is fine argument but won't sway anyone's opinion.

Instant like for that brilliant intro! Well done sir, well done!

What this boils down to is prequel haters hate the story and thrive on the action. The prequels fleshed out the universe and gave meaning to the OT. Thats why they like disney garbage, all action and no substance. I grew up on the OT and love the prequels. They are different, but no less important. I dont understand fans that love one and hate the other since they compliment each other so well. But thats what i can think of, they just love the action and superficial stuff and likely have little to no interest in the EU beyond the action games

When he admitted to not knowing the plot of the Phantom Menace, I quickly realized just how ignorant this guy is. It is NOT difficult to figure out. The “criticism” of the Jedi council-Anakin scene made me cringe.

1) You're intro is epic every time I see it! 2) Throughout this video, I've noticed a pattern that prequel-haters seem to be unable to understand subtle things. 3) Cosmonaut's arguments were so insipid I am genuinely considering making my own response video.

Darth Sidious wants to rule the galaxy with absolute power in the prequel, with all his enemies weaken, hiding, or dead. This isn't rocket science.

After rewatching this for the fourth time, I just realized something: Obi Wan (and even Qui Gon) are indeed nervous rushing the blockade...so maybe that’s the reason Obi Wan doesn’t like flying in 2 and says it’s for droids in 3.😂

Anomaly Inc. uploads a video Me: *LONG HAVE I WAITED*

I'm 11 and I know the plot to this movie, unlike cosmonaut who is like 15 years older than me and doesn't know the plot.

"our communication disruption could mean only one thing: invasion" makes perfect sense when 12 3km wide, armed to the teeth cargo freighters known to carry armed forces onboard are in orbit and suddemly oops no communications.

19:50 wow most of his fanboys didn't understand the movie? Imagine my shock.

I appreciate the clarification about the intro. The problem is it's difficult to tell that it's just an intro which I'm sure has confused a number of people, myself included. A number of times I thought I was watching an upload that I've already seen. Also I absolutely hate having to repeatedly listen to that asinine "Lucas r*ped my childhood" song. A simple text overlay notification at the beginning of your videos indicating where the intro ends & the commentary begins would be helpful.

All Hail the savior of Star Wars Lord Anomaly!!!

It's obvious that disney paid the critic to badmouth the prequels in order to protect the disney sequels

Wait a minute! This guy couldn't understand the plot of the movie? ! That is hilarious. It is not Brasil! It is Star Wars, you have to be a idiot not to get the plot 😂😂😂😂

Yeah boi, here we go again

i perfer the prequils over the disney trilogy any day atleast with the prequils u dont have to ask why this and how come u can do that now george lucas is sadly missed with star wars

Him: I didn't get the plot. ROTW: jaw drop and head shake.

You should add Patton Oswalts bit on going back in time to kill George Lucas for the Prequel Trilogy.

How surface-level and subjective can Cosmonaut get? "Oh my God, this movie so boring it put into a coma" Just because you didn't find enjoyment you want senseless action and flashy CGI doesn't equate to an objective argument. You're just saying things without anything to back it up, you're worse than a politician or propagandist.

Watching this video actually made me want to rewatch the phantom menace. Thanks, Anomaly

I primarily blame prequel haters for abusing George and the prequels so much that George sold Star Wars to fucking Disney, which forced the sequels on real SW fans.

What the fuck is hard to understand in politic scenes?! Episode I Senate is corrupted and checking evrything according to Republic law takes too much Time. So Trade Federation can't be stopped. Episode II Separatists want to leave the Republic, because they feel overused by the Senate. Again it would take too much Time This is so damn Simple, and I understood it WHEN I WAS 7 But as un-wise Man once said: "Hey, maybe it's just me"

Some people can’t understand that you can like the prequels and see it’s faults. In my opinion if the base story is good and the world building and lore is good I’m set for the most part. I find it fascinating and I really couldn’t care if someone thought there was too much CG.

I'm 12 and I understood this plot when I was 7

Prequel haters love Porgs and fucking space horsies! Prequel haters either have or want purple hair! Prequel haters love story's that make no sense along with them loving plotholes! Prequel haters love fucking SAND especially when it gets in the crack of their asses!

It takes a lot for a Jedi to lose their emotions. It's kinda thier thing.

I saw this at like 2:00am and ended up rewatching all of them with a bowl of popcorn and just gotta say best day of my life.

The edited intro actually kill me lmao

I think what really gets me about Cosmonaut is that the things he criticizes Star Wars: Rebels for he praises the Sequels for which shows a lack of consistency and critical thought.

13:06 I recently showed the Star Wars prequels to my 14 year old niece for the first time. The first Star Wars movies she's ever seen. She let out an audible ''No!'' when Qui-Gon got stabbed, and was still pissed off about his death by Revenge of The Sith. Oh yeah, she also got bored while watching the OT with me. We're on Empire Strikes Back, and she doesn't seem interested in finishing it.

As a prequel fan, I will admit that AOTC is my least favorite of the PT, and I do believe the bad somewhat outweighs the good for this particular movie (don't fret, I still give it a 5/10). But literally EVERY SINGLE CRITICISM I have heard towards the film is superficial and pointed in the wrong direction. Cosmonaut is no exception. All the points he makes are directed at the GOOD parts of the movie instead of the actually bad parts, and the thing about AOTC is that when it's good, *_it's good._* Ignoring that for the sake of pushing the hate train is awful critiquing and essay writing.

This video just tells me the Cosmonaut does not watch or pay attention to shit. Christ almighty, I didn't think it be this bad.

The sub scene is equivalent to beeing in space. These guys are not only trainerd Jedi's, they live in a world were focus and calmness are needed to survive. We still don't know how we send people to mars, not only because we can't overcome the technical stuff. It's also because we know that we freak out in that environment, risking the whole mission.

He said bring Jar Jar to Mos Eisley but they went to Mos Espa in the Phantom Menace.

It’s time baby!

So he loves the new star wars then the Prequels, this got too be a joke or he trolling us, a 12 year old has more brains then him.

Yoda: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." "I understand star wars better than you" reviewers: "ErMaHgErD wHy ArEnT tHeSe JeDi KnIgHtS sCaReD?" Edit: Oh and obviously high ranking military members should be running around screaming like assholes when they're discussing attack plans. I bet before that Navy Seal team went in to kill Osama Bin Laden the commander was losing his absolute shit, running around and peeing himself screaming "we're all gonna die".

Also, these guys all pretend to be experts in film craft, and they “prove” their credentials by railing about a movie that I and most people my age understood when we were twelve. They think their stupidity proves their expertise. Classic Dunning-Krueger effect.
