Hey c'mon, they've got to feed the coal shovellers who power their space ships somehow...

The idea of a western civilisation depending on metals dug by people using medival technology is also laughable. Except its how our phones are made.

It's almost like the Imperium was custom written to star in a "Fictional Empires Too Dumb to Survive" video.

​@@gordonfrommalmakThey litreally bring back a guy from from dead but they can't grow their own grain LOL 😂

I mean a lot of the technology in the universe that we see was actually analog, it’s also not hard to imagine scenarios where they would need grain Instead so many people on here just use horrible reasons to say horrible things The worst thing about any movie is people like yourself You also don’t even know how the ship is powered…. I do I found out in March 2023 when I was shown Also, they literally explain why if you listen 🤦‍♂️

The wheat also has the best performance of all the actors in those movies.

That glow up is legendary

@@juanluismendoza8655 I don't blame the actors. They did their best with the material that was given to them.

From cotton to grain They're finally free😆🙄

wheat is the most powerful force in the universe. I'm pretty sure between the two films, wheat is mentioned in more lines than any single character.

It got signed off for 150 mil, too! And probably another 150 for promo. I do wonder what dark data about humanity Netflix has though.

You just need a super (in)famous name like Zac Synder and a history of producing massively overbudgeted films... but other than that, yeah, everyone can do this too!

​@@TheCoolCucumber One almost wonders if it's a form of money laundering, kind of like those contemporary "artworks" that get sold for $100m arbitrarily.

No I think he saw vinland saga and decided to give importance to farming

It looks less interesting than the background movies from The Fall Guy or Gentleman Broncos.

Yet somehow this is more creepy...

​@@paulovinasrocha6166 What, you don't remember the Quentin Tarantino "feet feet feet" song from previous Honest Trailers?

Control the grain and you control the universe.

and coal. They use coal.

To be fair you could argue that food synthesizing would not be able to replicate the nutrients of natural grain

@@jamesrutherford1475 We can do that now. But the super futuristic nazis can't?

Gotta feed all those formerly-dead people somehow.

In the grim darkness of a galaxy far, far away, there is only grain. Slight rework :p

Which one was the DM then?

​@@andrewowens4421Snyder, unfortunately

...& you're not paying attention to any of them bc you're thinking about your own character... & wheat.

That's what I keep saying - these movies are just us trapped listening to Snyder solo DnD. He plays every character and has come up with really cool back stories for them and also really wants to show off his grain harvesting knowledge.

@@lasuraExcept his definition of “cool backstory” is “the same backstory, told in a slightly different way.” Like, seriously, throw in a defector from decadence (“I was on the bridge of an Imperial Warship and nuked a planet from orbit. And I realized I was the villain and left”), a “I didn’t want to end up like my parents” (“my father was a super loyalist, and he signed up for a dangerous project and died-and the Empire did nothing but throw us out the city and leave us fending for ourselves. Also, all my friends hated me because we couldn’t support ourselves”), a student high on idealism but low on actual ability (“I went to school, realized the Empire was bad, joined the resistance and I don’t know what I’m doing because there is no class on ‘how to dual wield a gun and a laser sword’”), a knight in sour armor (“you know how many times I’ve seen the Empire wipe out a settlement? And I stood there, powerless to stop it?” [looks at student.]. “I was like you once, and then life happened. And yet, here I am again.”), or even just someone in it for the payment (“I don’t care about this rebellion, I just want to make sure I get some wheat out of this whole thing”. Yes, wheat, because even a mercenary has to eat. Can’t eat credits, after all. Maybe someone will think this is a ‘Seven Samurai’ reference!”). Was that so hard? No promises these would make the story better, but at least the backstories would be different.

You know what’s really sad? Even though Dawn of the Dead is the best movie he’s directed, it’s always forgotten and overshadowed by his other work that doesn’t come close to it. Dawn of the Dead deserves more love. ❤️

And even crazier is that it's a remake of a beloved zombie movie from the late great George A. Romero

​@@juanluismendoza8655Dawn of the dead hot piece of garbage zombies can talk think give birth what else

@@s....... wrong one bud

@@s....... Thats land of the dead buddy

It's definitely a movie that exists

I wish I didn't understand that reference.

Goddamn. That's a perfect reference

Ugh not sonichu

@@jojogpt And comparison,

That's becuase it compresses a 2 hour script into a 5 minute summary without leaving out a single thing.

Not hard when it’s a Snyder film.

Thanks to bad movies we have fun with Honest Trailers. We should start to at least appreciate their commitment, recently those people have really produced so much material that’s perfect for memes/jokes etc. Keep it up Hollywood

like all Worst Razzies (0%-40%), *seriously* we need Inhumans Honest trailer or Pitch Meeting

I have no idea why anyone would think Snyder is a genius. He's made two good movies in his entire career, and one of them was a remake of a better movie. He makes dumb, fun, big budget popcorn flicks. It's not like he's the next Stanley Kubrick or something.

yeah I knew then I was watching one of the moviest movies of all time.

He had a slow mo of Titus drinking water and filling his canteen too.

😂😂😂😂

Celiac disease would be worse.

Would be a better movie

Ah a tfs man of culture

Vegeta: "KILL HIM."

I understood that reference

Vegeta: ... kill him!

“One thing, I wanted ONE THING TODAY” “Even more than k*lling Cell?” “Would you believe me if I told you this mattered more?” “I’d be shocked if you didn’t”

remake Dawn of the Dead where the zombies go 'graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains'

Synder bros still coping

In summary? Zack Snyder: Probably THE Vanguard of 2000s brand edge, especially in movies, now WELL past his sell-by date.

I don't think anyone was pretending that.

Suck Znyder

That anyone saw him that way in the first place is a testament to how many will slobber over crap just because it claims to be edgy.

Snyder is a hack.

Because a big budget doesn't equal a well written script, a good director, and good editor.

@@Emily00Strange That's true. I'm glad you agree.

Netflix gave him half a billion dollars to make movies, but it's sharing passwords was the problem

Cool Robot.

Dude's been spamming that "Please Say" for the last 13mos, too. 😉

Nice Hellsing Abridged reference.

I understood that reference

When hope is gone Undo this lock And send me forth On a moonlit walk

That is so true, it actually only took me about 15 minutes xD

I tried drinking to the first movie, but instead I ended up finishing my bottle of wine, falling asleep, jarring awake, before the movie even went anywhere. It's not even a good time if you're drunk.

Should (s)wheat be pronounced sweet or sweat 😅

Lol, it's not just a montage. The entire first act is dedicated to the village harvesting wheat. It takes up waaay too much screen time.

I haven't seen either of these films but that'd be my first question. You have a spaceship and laser gun, but are chopping wheat by hand?

​@@stormtempterf8058It gets even better. The spaceships are powered by coal and workers have to constantly shovel it into the stove like they're some 19th century locomotives 😂 That makes me really wonder, how they power their laser guns and "lightsabers".

Pretty sure at least one of their "wagons" has anti-gravity - how about just use wheels and spend the money saved on a single combine harvester !? It's classic Snyder basically, half-baked ideas and terrible writing masked by stylistic tricks.

​@@reptiloidmitglied2930It's like he was aiming for "ATLA" but Eurocentric, minus the fantasy elements, and in space, but he tried to build a world which fundamentally needs fantasy elements to work using his extremely Hollywoodized idea of what hard science fiction worldbuilding.

@@reptiloidmitglied2930 That's worse than Michael Bay sending diggers to space rather than teach astronauts how to dig.

What is the best name for an incompetent killer? Hair cutter? Wrist sprainer? Shirt slasher? Knuckle grazer? Toe stubber?

Nothing is cooler than the name Tazer Face.

Some 1930s Flash Gordon serial had Flash chained up with the other radium shovellers and they fed the radium furnaces. More believable.

Basically yeah

but with more grain and wheat.

Mixed with obscure 70s b movie “Battle beyond the stars” less any sort of characterisation. Seriously, would it have killed Snyder to have written one person motivated by; relationships, ideology, money, need for a place to stay anything but revenge, not saying you can’t have revenge in there but you need characters to have distinct roles and motivations or they just get confused and become interchangeable. This is day one storytelling stuff.

But somehow more boring than both of those put together.

I call it "Dune at Home"

They broke up 6mos ago, HT just now got to the "Please Say" lol

THEY ARE THE FARM!!!

This is literally the crux of the whole damn story so far and also the biggest flaw. They have FTL, city sized space ships, what seems to be unlimited energy, but somehow they've forgotten they need to feed the people on the ships??????? No rations?, No artificial farms?, no advanced genetics to grow at least a shitty algae emergency food source? This single premise undermines the entire series.

They couldn't be bothered with the pre-reqs for the hydroponics skill tree - scrubs always rush tech that sounds exciting rather than practical

Zach Synder (probably): Where's the fun in that?

@@Astralis42 Snyder said himself he didn't give a flying f*** about how spaceships work either. Makes it quite apparent how interstellar vessels are powered by coal in his "vision" then. And makes it abundantly clear why we have the grain plot. He Knows he'd forgotten to bring food with him himself. Like the college student protestors in the US who wanted people to bring them food and water lmao.

I guess an empire like that will have somebody who shovels coal to fuel the ships. 🤯

Honestly, I'd kill for a sequel to that movie. To see how the humans adapt on a new world.

If there ever was proof there is a way to fall upwards in film, this movie is it.

Agreed.

One comment from the previous Honest Trailer of part one of this movie had said something along the lines of "If you have capability to create interstellar ships it should be easy to turn one into a greenhouse and grow crops in them. You don't even _need_ a planet, save for getting the necessary soil and water." Or in other words, this evil empire is being inefficient and only being evil for the lols.

Also, the whole point of the spice melange is that the entire society of the Dune Saga has been structured to be dependent on it. If the spice doesn't flow society collapses. I'm assuming that this empire has other food sources than this one planet and this one grain, and we see no indication that the grain has any qualities that make it ant difdeent from that in any loaf of marble rye you can get at the store.

Yep we have antigravity tech but lets use manual labor and coal for power.

That's amazing, I'm half tempted to watch it now, just to see how bad it gets

poor you

Makes it easier to stretch 30 minutes of plot development over 2 hours

Yes 👍

That would be a good one.

It's also the 50th anniversary of ZARDOZ!

@@DarkSun123456789 when you wake up in the morning at 3am due to insomnia. Still I didn't really care about grammar when I wrote that comment. 🤣

3 hours of wheat shot in slow-mo with anamorphic lens flares?

I can't wait 'till that film comes out and makes a killing at the box office and earns praise from critics and audiences. The Snyder cult would go rabid. lol

Didn't even watch the first one. I enjoyed the comedic review of both parts from Disparu however. Had more laughs and fun with those videos than i would have ever had with either part.

Didn't watch the first one either, they do make for tremendous Honest Trailers though.

I skipped the first and just watched this. It was not a mistake..

I'm legitimately curious about why you bothering watching the first one. I imagine there isn't much crossover between fans of screen junkie and people that think Zack's work is worth watching.

There shouldn't even have BEEN a "first" movie, since most of Part 1 could've been condensed into a 10-15 minute montage.

so you gonna cry now or what?

@@benabramowitz18 I need to both like and comment on this, it's so good and so true.

It's been quite a hilarious decade, in fact.

It's funnier that this film was released just two months after the first movie. Does Snyder not understand how to schedule sequels?

They're Screen Junkies, not actual junkies!
