Rebel Moon and The Creator could both be very terrible movies, but i am also SO happy to see more completely original (meaning not tied to an existing franchise, obviously these works are derivative.) sci-fi stories. I love stuff like The Fifth Element, Titan AE, and StarGate that just were weird one-off sci-fi movies at the time and I'm glad we're getting more weird sci-fi passion projects no matter how they turn out or how much they're just trying to do a star war.

This trailer just reminded me how excited I am for Dune lol

how anyone has the energy to talk to people on twitter astounds me, keep being awesome mate

Isaac Asimov came up with the idea of laser swords in Sci-fi. In his series "Lucky Starr" (1952-1958) there were weapons called "Force Blades".

8:35 Just a little correction, Disney changed Ashoka’s date to the day the trailer was releasing not the other way around

It just felt like shouting and explosions. I know it’s a “teaser” but I wanted some idea of the story.

This is gonna sound harsh but... The trailer looks like what if you put "Zack Snyder, Star Wars, Avatar, Harry Potter, Mad Max, Gladiator" into an AI image generator prompt.

I guarantee if you took a scene from this trailer and spliced it into another sci-fi property's trailer, no one would notice.

I think Snyder needs to be a co-director as his visuals and cinematography is great, but storytelling not so much. If he had someone to direct the film, while he focuses on the visuals it would be better, imo.

I feel mostly the same about Snyder; he has great visual flare and creates some overall flawed works that have pieces I really enjoy. And I wanted this trailer to be better. I'm sure there will be plenty of things to like about Rebel Moon, and a handful of things that make you scratch your head, but it looks like the type of ambitious streaming series that would get canceled after one season, but in movie form.

Homeboy watched Ready Player One every day for 3 years or something and thought he had an idea

I think there’s a lot of consolation to this being a TEASER and not a trailer

Zach Snyder is the best cinematographer that acts as a director. He has movies that have awesome shots, but his storytelling leaves me wanting.

the shock that went up my spine when he called it "aSHoka"...

My actual favorite things Snyder has ever done is the opening to Watchmen. It's almost entirely original to his adaptation of the story, beautifully shot, and is such a cool sequence of world building and establishing what the world of Watchmen is all about. It's not perfect, but it's one of the best things he's ever directed

I'd be able to do the whole "It's fine if you liked it," if Snyder fans weren't extremely toxic, and didnt harass people. Or think they are somehow smarter for watching Snyder movies.

the trailer looks like the Snyder Cut of Jupiter Ascending

Both you and Brandon Sanderson have raved about Speed Racer, I guess I should finally watch it. Also, based on that connection alone, may I request a full, in-depth Nando review on every Cosmere book and novella? That'd be swell, thanks!

Nando didn't love the Rebel Moon trailer... my response to that is.... "What's Rebel Moon?" Never heard of this until this video.

Agreed nothing wrong expressing your opinion everyone just takes disagreements as personal attacks nowadays

Snyder fans embarrass me so much. I think this movie looks sick asf, but if I ever say that, people assume I'm going to try to indoctrinate them into the Snyder cult. I swear I'm a normal person y'all, I just think this movie looks pretty cool!!

Nothing against the guy personally. I just dislike Snyder’s sensibilities for story. And the messages he imbues just always read so juvenile to me.

Snyder almost always makes films visually stimulating, but the content of them doesn't always hold up, and that has a lot to do with the writing. And the 'Avengers Assemble' line is exponentially better than using the hammer.

It looks exactly how zack said it a knock off edgy star wars Now i am a Zack Snyder hater i have never seen anything he made good

Speed Racer is a great movie and I will die on that hill.

Looks like a form over function movie. random cool shit put together.

Dude really went out of his way to make this huge universe, fill it with years of lore and backstories, with tons of possible stories to tell inside of it. And then the first thing he thought of doing was 7 samurai. You've got to be kidding me.

We had the exact same thoughts; it looks like a mashup of Star Wars, Dune, and John Carter

Ngl all I saw from the trailer was, "hey mom can we have Dune, no honey we have dune at home" please correct if im wrong

Glad I wasn't the only one. Appreciate your channel Nando.

My thoughts on the trailer: "Ooh Fantasy Sci-fi!! Ohh pretty visuals!!" so I'm kinda sold on watching it, but the trailer gave me NOTHING about the movie itself.

I’m the same on Speed Racer. I’m constantly defending it!

Yeah. I'd say personally, I'm excited for this on conceit alone - that of being a heavily Star Wars inspired original story in (intentionally or not) the vein of all those star warsian B-movies of the 80s, which I absolutely love. But I'm less excited because it's Zach Snyder directing, and there's just something about his directing style that bounces off me.

I could make a ton of assumptions off just a teaser trailer. I’m neither excited nor disappointed so I’ll hold my reservations until the movie is actually out. It’s just a teaser trailer. I have no inkling of the plot yet. Plus Blue Beetle’s trailers were awful, then I saw it and was delightfully surprised. So I’ll wait until the movie is out.

Funny story: Snyder went to Lucas Film to propose his own version of a Star Wars story; Luca Film told him "no, thank you" and Snyder then said "I'll do it anyway". But at the end of the day it will be yet another Snyder's (maybe good, maybe bad, maybe so so, creation).

I thought the lighting looked a bit odd, like very green screened, but im sure it will be fun

If they had cut it in half I would have been stoked vs slightly underwhelmed. Still super excited for it.

Snyder's 300 and Watchmen were "what if the biggest edgelord assholes in the source material were the greatest heroes and fascism is cool actually" His DC movies were "what if the greatest heroes in the source material were edgelord assholes and fascism is inevitable actually". Rebel Moon seems to be "what if ALL characters in Star Wars were edgelord assholes", and I don't trust him enough to expect him to understand that the fascists in Star Wars were the bad guys. I'm really not rushing to watch this.

Even a basic search of the movie’s production will reveal it was a Star Wars pitch back in 2012. It’s not really hiding that inspiration

Always thought he was a great director but when it comes to writing decisions , he’s a little not so great

SPEED RACER SWEEP LETS GOOOOOOO

This could be fun, it looks like Heavy Metal meets Star Wars meets 300 meets Dune. Either way I’m glad to see a big budget original idea.

You didn't get the power of Effie's "And I'm Telling You"? Like, that song is a generational classic.

I got Chronicle of Riddick vibes. Just me? That was a weird movie...

I'm not really sure what Rebel Moon is about but trailer peaks my interest and I like his style so I'm interested in seeing the movie when it comes out

Zack snyder definitely has a style lol

I love that you have Beetle and Booster behind you. Also Cyclops. I feel a kinship with you, bud.

It was a great trailer, I'm not even the biggest Snyder fan. That trailer had an epic quality to it.

I wish he would’ve changed the magic system around he literally just kept the star wars stuff.

Now if it was Rebel Moonfall, it would be a different reception!

I’ve personally never been drawn to Zack Snyder’s cinematic style, though I respect the passion of his fanbase. Iconic cinematic moments (such as The Matrix’s “bullet time) seem to overshadow some of Snyder’s contributions. Critiques of a film or director shouldn’t translate to disdain for its fans. Our connections to media and characters are deep-rooted, but it’s important to maintain respect in discourse.

Nah, I disagree. I'm excited for it. I'm not the biggest Snyder fan at all, but this looks solid. Dunne and Star Wars influence for sure, but still feels like it's own thing. I actually would want to see this in theaters. Possible that it won't be that good or groundbreaking, but I don't need it to be.

As someone who doesn’t really have a horse in this race (I like some of Snyder’s movies but don’t like others) both sides are annoying. Snyder cultists harass, and the snyder haters talk down to his fans. Both sides, let people enjoy things!

Are people actually getting upset at Star Wars comparisons?? THIS MOVIE IS LITERALLY A REJECTED STAR WARS MOVIE. That’s not a rumor or insider info, that has been well known information for years at this point. This is why I can’t get on the Snyder bandwagon.

This trailer left me severely underwhelmed. There seems to be too much going on and I get it's in going to be in at least 2 parts but it seems like there's not going to be enough time with anyone character or story line or planet

Maybe it's more of a trailer issue, netflix movies have often had trailers that don't fully reflect the movie. They cloned tyrone turned out to be so much more than what the trailer showed as an example. I'll wait to pass any judgement but I'm not rushing to see it either

Everyone has different tastes. Some people liked the trailer, others not so much. I would assume that if you don't like Snyder's previous films, you probably will not like this one.

Big Snyder fan here. I respect your opinion about Snyder and his movies. We can't all like or love the same things, I've seen you like stuff that has made me go "What...? Nando thinks that's good" Haha so it's perfectly normal. Also, it feels like the volume in your video is a bit low. Maybe you talking away from the mic, or maybe it's just me lol.

I love Watchmen but haven’t read the book. Hated 300 and all his DC stuff. He’s incredible at visuals but has never written anything good in his life.

It just seemed... muddled. For a while I thought I was seeing completely new characters in every single shot. I eventually started recognizing Djimon Hounsou and Hunnam, but new characters and environments seemed to be popping up every few seconds. A real cluster F.

Tell me this is a Snyder trailer without telling me this is a Snyder trailer... *♪ BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ♪*

Have people forgotten that 300 was a blatant rip off of Sin City? It feels like people have forgotten this. You've built your whole style, the thing you are known for, off of an experiment that a SIGNIFICANTLY better filmmaker knocked out in his own studio.

It looks like a mashup of a whole bunch of great science fantasy movies. Could be cool; I hope it is. But if you see those lightsabers and say it doesn't look like Star Wars, you're deranged.

To me Rebel Moon looks more like Warhammer 40k (albeit less grim-dark) than Star Wars. Or maybe a combination of the two. Looks interesting even though I havent bothered to watch any of Snyder's other Netflix stuff Ill give it a chance.

I like Snyder’s Heavy Metal sensibilities and I’m hoping to see more of that in the film. So far it definitely looks generic, and amateur in some ways.

Speed racer is literally a masterpiece bro.

Ok, this might be a based opinion, but I'd love to see Zack Snyder do a movie set in Warhammer 40.000 universe. He has great style over substance filmography which would fit perfectly with over the top setting of WH40k. Rebel Moon traiiler didn't grab me, can't really say what's going on. From what I heard it's supposed to be "Netflix's Star Wars", and since there aren't many space operas I'll keep an eye for reviews when it comes out.

Snyder is a one trick pony that you can’t help but love. His shtick is “what if popular thing had violence and sex cuz it’s badass and I only consume badass things”. All wrapped in a bow of vague “symbolism” that is so open ended and broad that you can latch any meaning onto it, story and lore elements that are so hidden in the background that they practically don’t exist but are somehow super integral, and a need to always compare his characters and story to mythologies of old cuz that’s a one way ticket to instantly make your story seem grand and cinematic in the eyes of fans without putting in the actual work to tell a compelling and impactful story. It’s the movie equivalent of “I’m 14 and this is deep” and I love it, he is such a cornball. People unironically think this is genius storytelling to construct a narrative in such an amateurish way, but let’s be real with why people actually REALLY like Snyder movies…it’s basically edgy middle school fanfic, it’s awesome

The Star Wars influence is there and it's a bit too obvious at certain points, but, believe you me, no Star Wars anything has looked this good or unique in a VERY long time. Dune probably looks slightly better, but you can still tell this has Snyder's fingerprints ll over it.

Nando Emmanuel Amadeus Cut, how dare you!?! I feel the same, it was a pretty trailer, but somehow not exiting.

The narration sounded like something from chatGPT

I don't care about Snyder stuff aside from whether or not I enjoy the movie. I respect that he has a vision. But I will say it feels like Nando wants a particular thing that Rebel Moon can't do. While comparisons are fair. It feels like Nando desires something in particular that isn't something Snyder does. So there's no winning for this trailer.

Nando did himself dirty with the last frame of the vid😂

The biggest cheer in Avengers: Endgame in my theatre was Spider-Man swinging back in through the portal. There was screaming and cheering and also a sense of relief (phew, he's back!). Cap catching Mjolnir got a massive cheer too, but the cheer for Spider-Man almost rivals it.

I stopped caring for Snyders work after Army Of The Dead, the only film that I damn near walked out of the theater for

I thought it looked boring af and insanely derivative. It actually reminds me SUCKER PUNCH. A film with great visuals and not much else. Oooh another super strong and stoic female protagonist. A prophecy. A dark army. Wow. I mean it looks great, but was there a single new idea there? I certainly didn't get the sense that there was from the trailer.

Personally, I don’t get the appeal of a darker Star Wars.

space Nazis, rebels, lightsabers. This is just Star Wars. Barely disguised

5:34 how do you hear Scargiver and it reminds you of Skywalker?🗿and why only Skywalker why not stormtrooper

I’m happy I found this channel, I’ve been watching nando v movies for a long time. But I’m liking these vids a lot more 👍

Thank you, some folk just be on the Snyder train. He pretty much all style no substance. His better films like 300 & Watchmen worked b/c it was someone else’s story

I don't know that there's a group A and B for Snyder fans online. I'm sure group A exists they just keep it to themselves

Didnt he make that movie sucker punch? If you told me this was a sequel to sucker punch i would believe you. Just a bunch of random genre scenes seemingly mashed together. I hope its good. More good movies would be a good thing. (Hopefully better than sucker punch)

Not a big fan of Zack Snyder but I love this trailer

No way he'll focus on religion! Just look at how he handled the religious symbolism of Justice League--all amazing visuals with no commentary. You know it's going to be some Ayn Rand self-determinism take on Star Wars, and while fans are excited, you just gotta look at his filmography to see what to expect.

I'm excited and hyped for REBEL MOON My favorite Characters in REBEL MOON is Darren Blood Axe and Gemon Hanshu

This movie gives me strong Jupiter Ascending vibes

The whole time I was watching the trailer I wondered if it was a Star Wars spinoff...

i may or may not check it out but i don’t have high hopes it’ll be good.

I have no idea how someone says it does not look like Star Wars. I went to Google afterwards thinking how did I not hear about this new Star War movie 🤣. Then I had to double check Google when I saw it was an original film.

To me it honestly looks like a sci fi Chanel tv movie with a slightly higher budget but nothing of this screams the next Star Wars.

i think Snyder fans feel so different because most fan bases have a love/hate relationship with their specific media of choice, while Snyder fans typically seem overwhelmingly positive about the majority of creative decisions the man has made. This isn’t true on all accounts, it’s just something I’ve noticed more commonly with Snyder’s defenders, and i definitely think it has to do with how overwhelming the other side of the argument is as well. Lots of people probably feel kinda meh about Snyder, I’m definitely one of those. But that opinion feels like a small valley with huge peaks on either side representing those that completely adore him and those that unabashedly despise him. those that love him, feel cornered into defending their admiration because of how overwhelming the distaste is, while those that don’t enjoy his work typically have enough valid concerns that make any positives difficult to acknowledge.

The trailer was I don't know, too busy for me I guess. Lacked a focus. I will be watching this when it releases, though.

No, you’re correct, Speed Racer is a goddamn masterpiece.

After watching the trailer, it seems (in some ways painfully) obvious to me that it started life as a Star Wars script. I'm not a huge Zack Snyder film. I'm fairly apathetic about his work. Some stuff I liked, some I didn't. Most of it, for me, wasn't anything to right home about. I am, however, a huge Star Wars fan, though. For that reason alone, I'm...curious about Rebel Moon? But the trailer didn't blow me away or anything. If this movie was in theaters, I probably wouldn't watch it. But since it coming to Netflix, I'm sure I'll watch it, but I'm not super excited about it or anything.

I appreciate ZS as an artist, as a filmmaker, as a human, as a comic- and scifi-fan. His work with Larry Fong is incredible, they work great together. But on the story- and directing-side, he would profit a lot from a partner and collaborator. He is great in directing action, but less when it comes to the quieter parts and classic parts of the film (unlike villeneuve for example).

Powders the widdle babies bottoms for MOST of the video lol.

Looks like a chimera of genre movies... Dune, Star Wars, Enders Game etc. I like Zack's work, and props for him for creating something totally original, but "Screenplay by Zack Snyder" is not a good sign.

17 minutes about how didn’t love a trailer? 😮

I'm a Snyder fan, that thinks he would benefit from a co-director that's a about the nuances for storytelling. I also think that the trailer wasn't the best. Threw too much at the audience without really saying a lot about what if showed. Like, there's so many cultures in this movie. Great, as it's truly exploring a galaxy. However, because of how the trailer is edit, it looks like random stuff all mashed up. However, it did look great and the action looks to be on point. Hopefully, the next trailer is a good one.
