Zack snyder confused cold fusion with coal fusion, change my mind

Rey Palpatine: "I am the worst sci-fi Mary Sue ever!" Kora: "Hold my grain."

The fact that Zack honestly thinks that he can make a 6 film franchise out of this is laughable. I'm honestly shocked the sequel managed to get greenlit.

It’s pretty tricky getting coal to burn in space with no oxygen

"He who controls the -spice- coal, controls the universe!"

Let's see, who does our heroine kill in this movie? -A child -a team of non-combatant medics -a crew of unarmed 19th century laborers -an imprisoned god

Lets not forget that just in one day the villagers constructed a tunnel system that would have taken world war one engineers a month.

Those coal guys were just “mining their own business” 😂

The notion that they think defeating one dreadnought won't bring 34 more of them next week is my favorite part of the movie.

They need to burn the Space Gods feet with coal to remind it who is the boss. 😂😂

I loved the part where Kora said "It's coalin' time", and she started coaling all over the place. Really spoke to me as a strong empowered woman.

They're using no ordinary coals, they're using space coals.

Critical Drinker and The Boys: "Do you seriously believe your own hype that much?" Zack Snyder: *"I AM THE HYPE!"*

The grain must flow. Whoever controls the grain controls the universe!

12:50 Zach Snyder is like my boss telling me to make all of the text in an advertisement bold. If ALL of the text is bold, NONE of the text is bold.

I cannot wait for the mega-director's cuts that will "explain everything properly" which is "in a completely different universe, as they are a completely different version". Anyone admitting they put out a sub-standard version on purpose deserves a chance to fail harder. Only by knowing the Lord of Edge will the cult of Snyder truly know it is over. If they create a cult around JJ we are all doomed.

Rebel Moon is literally Star Wars vs Warhammer 40k fanfiction in a nutshell.

A true Scotsman doing a fake " Scotty" accent brought such joy to my bitter heart. It really drives home how bad that accent was but how iconic it was at the same time

In the 1936 Flash Gordan TV serial with Buster Crabbe, they have a coal powered floating city. It was kind of silly back then when coal powered ships and stuff was still in living memory, we have coal power plants today but we don't have people shovel the coal into them. But a coal powered spaceship? What were you thinking, Zack? Were you thinking?

Hearing drinker describes Zack Snyder, Zack sounds like a human large language model

I love the fact that Kora is really the "Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight" from the Tick placing bombs throughout the Comet Club. Quite possibly my favorite super villain in all of comics.

Ahem, this movie is awesome. Movies don't have enough grain representation! The fact that it focuses on grain, it's harvesting and milling is a testament to Zack Snyder!😂

Grain was the only character that had a full story arc: a back story then planting to growing to harvesting to processing. So clearly Snyder CAN do character arcs.

Years of reading 2000ad comics and old 40k fluff I fully accept coal fed captured gods powering a starship

One of the more interesting little scifi short stories I ever read centered around the idea that the secret to FTL travel was actually very simple and our civilization simply missed it. So 'first contact' for us was a bunch of steampunk soldiers with muskets coming out of a bronze spaceship, announcing the conquest of earth, and promptly getting blown to hell by the National Guard. Humanity rapidly expanded its empire after that. Rebel Moon has far less thought put into it than this 15 page story I read twenty years ago.

ChatGDP? Write me a Star Wars movie that’s not Star Wars.

Zack Snyder is a like ordering Michael Bay off Wish.

You don't make a franchise off of a 5 minute concept. 💯😂🎉

Remember 300 and watchmen what happened to you zack

Steam machines to harvest grain existed since the end of the XIX century, still they Need to do It by hand... But with a Flying cart. But i'm sure the snyder's snyder cut with his 3 days of runtime Will fix this.

They need Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf for all that bread.

The Zach Snyder challenge will be to watch all of the rebel moon movies in a row without falling asleep

Just the fact they did a science fiction story where the evil empire wants "grain" is pretty hilarious. Like they could have just made them miners or something where they extract unobtainium or burbaru for sci fi travel, heck even call it "spice" and rip off Dune, and it would have at least been believable. They literally just made a western set in space, with the same stuff a western would be about. It is actually kind of funny.

The only precedent I can think of for a fleet having to go home after losing an admiral is how in 1241 the Mongols pulled back from their invasion of Europe because the great Khan died and the princes needed to be present for the election of the next Khan. However, the Mongols were not an organized empire ruling over many worlds across the stars.

*Slaps roof of spaceship* "You can fit so many cosmic space gods in this bad boy."

well you put the coal core into a black hole, and you siphon out the black photons

The warm liquid goo phase always reminds me of Austin Powers now. I never take it seriously as a trope anymore.

As a wheat enthusiast, I was pretty pleased with this movie

The fight scene with the orchestra is a complete K-Mart bastardization of the opera scene in The Fifth Element. They thought the concept was cool without bothering to think about WHY it works in Fifth Element.

I’m an old Zach Snyder fan and to be honest I just recently went back and rewatched all of his good movies and I’m like… wtf happened yo? 😂

Grain

The coal powered spaceships could have been neat if they had the balls to go full retrofuturerism / steampunk, but from what I saw they are using modern sci-fi weapons and rocket launchers, so yeah…

Drinker putting on a made for TV Scottish accent to mimic Scotty is the Drinkception I didn't know I needed.

I loved the part where the moon said “it’s rebellin’ time” and rebelled all over the place. Truly a moment that was filmed and caused emotions.

To paraphrase Star Trek V: "What does a starship need with a god?"

Why are they using medieval farming tools, in a era where they have interplanetary space travel ?

I once heard that the most important and underrated skill that a filmmaker can have is the ability to pitch movies to studio executives. Adam Sandler is said to be excellent at this, which is a big reason why he’s been able to make so many movies despite the fact that they don’t usually do that well. Perhaps Zack Snyder is amazing at pitching movies and ideas to executives…

This series will forever be known as Pain and Grain

Thank you, Mr. Drinker for subjecting yourself to these atrocities so we don't have to.

I can’t wait for the directors cut where we watch grain grow and coal get made under the pressure of his ego, for 7 days.

Snyder: Guys just wait for the Director’s Cut! It’ll be better, Trust me.

Djimon Hiunsou is great in everything and adds quality to everything I’ve seen him in. It takes real skill to make him look bad in a really bad movie.

The Musicians were amazing. They played her out and everything. I was truly entertained by them and lmao.

Nora Palpatine reminds me of Sir Lancelot the Brave from Monty Python the Holy Grail when he starts killing all the wedding guests in the castle.

There’s a reason these films were released on Netflix and not in theaters.

Where is Mystery Science Theater 3000 when we need them? This sounds like comedy gold! Sounds like Snyder is becoming the Ed Wood of the 21st century, but Ed Wood if he had a multimillion dollar budget.

Zack (straight to DVD) Snyder

The Army of the Dead is in my TOP WORST 5 MOVIES EVER.

Denial- Batman v Superman Anger- Josstice League Bargaining- Zack Snyder's Justice League Depression- Army of the Dead Acceptance- Rebel Moon

My friend is a Zach Snyder fanboy and he’s already rolling out the usual snyder fanboy defense for this film, telling me that the directors cut will be good and is waiting for it to come out. He says it’s Netflix fault for restricting the movie’s runtime and thinks that they should just let Snyder make it as long as he wants to. He also claims toxic haters are review bombing the movie.

A coal powered Enterprise would have the most buff Scotty in the multiverse.

Rather than going for the wheat, they should have been Mining for some sort of special fuel for their coal powered spaceships.That would make way more sense if you could only get that special fuel from that planet.

Someone asked Zack Snyder: Who's your favorite comicbook writer? "Frank Miller" Where did you learn how to write your characters in your movies? "Frank Miller" 😂😂🤣🤣

It's funny because I can explain how a warp engine assembly goes together in a Starfleet starship and what all the major parts do. These are story telling ASSETS!

To be fair with Spaceballs it would be a comically oversized battery. And they would put it backwards on the first go.

Introducing Zack Snyder’s retitled masterpiece of shit: The Grain. Not to be confused with a real masterpiece of sages: The Grey.

Its like Snyder learned the US Navy carriers are steam driven and thought he could transfer that over into space travel and people would just accept it.

I bet rebel moon’s fight scenes aren’t as bad as the last jedi’s throne room fight 😂

I know what this movie needs, 2-3 more hours of grain footage

I commented before on your opinion with part one, disagreeing on the Zach Snyder slow motion shots. NOW, i got the sense Snyder saw your reviews and doubled down on the slow motion for part two. Lost it laughing at the wheat shots in slow motion.

This is my favorite lineup you guys.

Steam powered: You'd also run out of water like crazy. Something needs to vent out the back to provide the force.

Burning fuel also reminds me of TLJ when Rian Johnson introduced “burning fuel” to Star Wars. Brilliant.

Coal-powered space ship isn't a new idea in cinema. It was already tried in Airplane! 2. :D

Happy that Disparu is in the team!

The two Sherlock Holmes films with RDJ in them had slow mo, but it was in parts where it worked. Not shoved in everywhere.

Why aren’t these farmers in the far future using combine harvesters? Why does the galactic space empire with big need grain from these farmers in the first place? If you can travel through space you can grow your own food.

Nah, it'll be fine 🍻

Their conversation about slow motion made me recall the south park episode "this is lesbos".... When miss garrison had to heroically make coffee in slow motion

Coal powered space ship is a Futurama joke, the episode where they are on the Space Titanic.

He (Zack) went out into space found boredom and brought it back to us out of spite.😂😂😂 Kevin out on his own is all they crap sinse the end of phase 3.

I really wanted to watch this. It looked so cool. Then I saw the director and I thought I'd save what brain cells I have left.

As a celiac, this film was a crime against my humanity! 😅

Zack wanted a scene where a guy gets kicked into the furnace so he made up coal powered spaceship.

I like disparu saying he likes some good shots by Snyder. It’s the thing he’s actually a good director as long as he’s got someone to reel him in. Horrible writer though.

After he ruined Doomsday made him get beaten by bunch of rockets i already lost hope for this director he doesn't have enough good skills to direct his movies

So they can capture a god to power their starships, bring dead admirals back from the dead, warp travel through vagina portals, invent sentient robot soldiers but haven't figured out how to feed their army and need grain.

Disparu's double video about Rebel moon 2 was quite great... shredding it to the core.

in army of the dead a Hummer goes offroad and gets disabled because of that... i turned off army of the dead rite then. Its ok to have portions of your movie that people have to suspend disbelief but sometimes zack goes too far.

I'm usually defending Zack Snyder (I still think Man of Steel, BvS and his cut of Justice League are solid movies), but his last couple of movies were really undercooked mess. He's a great visual director (he made a silent short movie couple of years ago and it was one of his best works in the last 10 years), but as a screenwriter he's stuck between being juvenile, edgy and pretentious. Sometimes having too much creative freedom isn't a good thing and Snyder is a good example of that.

"No pain, no grain" was a great line.

My favourite part is that even though Netflix gave Snyder unlimited money, he’s still blaming studio interference for peoples distaste for the movie

Yeah it's just as bad as Fallout

The really crappy thing about that coal powered engine is, could they seriously not create just a coal dumping mechanism to fuel the engine rather than having people slave away to do so? Surely that would be a more efficient method, putting the exact amount required of 'suspiciouly coal looking mineral' into the engine as required.

Scotty is on a peleton powering the Enterprise.

The problem with the space coal isn't the substance itself, it's that any star-faring civilisation has worked out a far more accurate way to feed the engine of it's ships by the time they reach that level. A shovel is one of the least accurate measures to feed an engine. Anyone that knows even just a little about carburettors, turbos etc knows that to get high performance you need precise actions on the fuel going in to get high performance. But ok, let's say this is a steampunk-like world, and they really really really realllllyyyy want to it be coal... then you need to show that in the rest of the movie. It's ok to have evolution follow a different path but you at least need to explain it. And you can have your big coal scene, just have people monitoring it, and not some poor lad shovelling it all day when a small conveyor belt would do the same job 100 times better.

The world building was so bad all around that it felt like it was written by some twelve year old edgelord in a creative writing class. The characters have practically no dialogue or story arcs to explore and I had zero attachments to them. You guys are also spot on about the tech making no sense either. I loved the battlecruiser using thermal imaging to look at the villagers in the houses but not seeing the people in shallow ambush tunnels on the suspiciously open field nearby. The Senate assassination scene was terrible too in too many ways to mention. I wouldn't compare these films to Chick-fil-A, they seem even more bland, processed and uninspired to me. Rebel Moon is the pink slime filled Chicken McNuggets of cinema.

I NEED. Critical Drinker to do more Scottie impressions, that was great.

He had his own lenses made for the films- he used the front end of an anamorphic and a leica spherical lens as a “taking lens” behind it allowing him to get a super shallow depth of field while still being relatively sharp. He’s a nutty guy

9:20 - The holographic vacuum tube?! That was actually aesthetically cool.
