Can you review the Little Mermaid 2023? I'm really curious about your thoughts. You should also discuss the race swapping controversy. I personally think they should've casted Arianna Grande instead.

Why did the goblin turn on the stove??

@@andrewwilliamson5121I wanted to ask that this time. So instead, I’ll ask this. Why was that foot there?

Im amaized over that you havnt done a video about Rings of Power... Or you might be even less entertained of that than Velma lol.

The scene where Phoebe Wallet Bridge punch unconscious to a sad 80 year old man.. like if she were a common street thug.. is in the movie?? 🤨.. or they re-shot that??🤔 ..

That's why I don't buy into this is what ruined the franchise....four really paved the way, this just iced the cake.

Tbh I think 4 isn’t a bad as people think. It paved a way for what could have been the next generation. It’s a shame Shia hated working with Spielberg and they clashed.

@@theblackflame4002 4 was awful don't get me wrong, but the two positive things I can give 4 is that even if you hated it you could still more or less just ignore it, AND Indy wasn't a sad meaningless loser in that one yet. He was still out there going on adventures, teaching students and even had a son to carry on after he was gone. After this one he doesn't even have that stuff anymore, he's an empty shell that wished for a time travel death.

I recently rewatched Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in preparation for Dial of Destiny. I think the first 2/3's of the movie is pretty good. To me, it's when we get into the Amazon rain Forrest is where the movie gets rough. However, if there's one thing that Crystal Skull definitely does better than Dial is that it sticked the landing better with the ending at the wedding, which this movie completely undid. The only positive thing I can say about the ending to Dial is that it wasn’t as bad as what I was expecting the ending to be, which I thought was going be Indiana Jones dying in the past and Helena Shaw becoming the new Indina Jones by taking his Jacket and Fedora from his dead body. Thankfully, It wasn't that, but still, the ending was just unsatisfactory, to say the least.

Yea crazy

For once it's not a Kennedy getting assassinated

Dude is old now probably just thinking of pay checks and leaving enough money to his family at this point. But yeah kinda bummer 2 of his major characters had to end like this.

@@techmaster9781 in this special case i would not care if

Wait till he does the next Fugitive film where he actually kills his wife and the 1 armed man is a brunette British woman that saves the day… just wait.

Kathleen Kennedy is like mythical creature to you people. Omnipresent and all powerful, able to influence events, writing and stuff beyond her jurisdiction and job responsibilities And you blame her whenever things go awry. Do you put on garlic necklace whenever you enter movie theater just in case there is Kathleen hiding in the screening room? Just lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Or most other Indiana Jones Games.

Emperor's Tomb is a good game. I played and reviewed it last year.

The movie doesn't even suck at all

True.

He wasn’t treated like idiot here either. The whole movie is about how life has ups and downs

@@handznetYou can SAY that’s what it’s _about,_ but that doesn’t disprove the claim that he’s treated like an old-ass idiot, nor does it change any of the actual events in the film. I can say A Serbian Film is _about_ critiquing the dark criminal underworld of sadistic entertainment, but even if I’m right, nothing anyone says to critique it is debunked. Themes are the icing you put on the cake that is the _actual_ film. They enhance what’s already there. Like a multiplier. And what happens when you multiply zero? You still get zero.

​@@handznetShut up.

@@purpleemerald5299terrible take. Indiana contributed just as much as Helena did to find the dial which makes sense. Every movie shows he’s cunning and capable, but still in need of help and this movie respects that. He’s old, you can’t expect a man whose body is breaking down to fight like he’s 30.

@@someangrypotato7197 the why did they do it if he cant do what he did in his thirty's?

She isn't a Mary Sue

@@jackholloway1She's worse than a mary sue. She's NOTHING whatsoever.

She really is a Mary Sue, almost everyone loves her, she’s perfect at pretty much everything she does. Also how on earth was she able to hang onto that plane? If she was a really strong lady then sure but she’s just a skinny normal lady. Oh yeah, plot armour. Never mind. She was just so frustrating. She was just so disrespectful and bratty to a point where it’s just frustrating.

Sad that we don't have more comments like this in order to make a decent movie.

@@geardog24 I suspect one of the reshoots was "Indy dies, BruntetteBritishDisneyLucasLady(tm) replaces him" and then the studio went, "Oh... oh no that didn't go well last time. Let's give him a vague happy ending."

I think that Shia LeBouef didn't want to come back for this film (at least that's what I heard somewhere). The problem is that Disney has ruined it's reputation to such an extent that even if they get a good script and don't get absolutely blasted by Disney suits, no self respecting actor would want to play in it, unless they just see acting as a job and nothing more. By making these reboots instead of making original ideas, by giving massive budgets that remove creativity instead of using small budgets and problem solving, and by trying to appeal to as many people as possible, they're actively stripping away their chances at staying afloat and succeeding.

they probably WANTED to do that since Shia is basically retired or doesnt want to do big blockbusters anymore, and godforbid an 80s hero has a positive relationship with his SON

@@justinbaker5749 Just recast Mutt.

It was incredible for the time to this day. It looks very much like green screen stop motion.

Practical effects are always better. American werewolf in London The Thing

@@S_047 the dark crystal labyrinth never-ending story krull

Love that movie! Thanks for the reminder!

Most likely.

Yea, probably was. I'll admit the idea of seeing Indiana's skeleton with the hat on oddly sounds cool, but the audience would of rioted over that version of the ending anyway so it had to get nixed from the film.

Nah. But ending with discovering actual Jones tomb with his hat and whip in it would be best ending

If done properly, that could have been amazing. Him being discovered like his own discoveries.

Imagine: At the begining Indie's old friend is telling him about his daughter, then ends up dying so Indie can escape. Flash forward, and Indie is sad because his wife recently passed away. He meets his god daughter who reminds him of both his wife and his old friend in that she has a good heart and loves adventure, but she is also very caring and selfless. At the end, he discovers that they can't both go back to the future. The dial doesn't have enough power. God daughter tells Indie to go. She is young and strong and she studied this time period so she can handle it. Plus, who knows what she can find in the past, that has been lost to the present. But Indie sends her instead, with a little whispered secret. In the future, God daughter is on an adventure, and comes across a particular tomb with a skeleton with a hat and whip and a little message just for her. Then, in true Indie fashion, someone trips a wire and the whole tomb collapses in, ending on a a classic Indie adventure

It was never about showing an older character in a positive light. This is Kathy's misandrist revenge porn, it's a 300 million dollar humiliation ritual where she pisses on the legacy of everyone who ever helped her reach the status of producer.

The movie doesn’t present him as failure he was just going through rough time after his son died and it caused end of his marriage. It was actually believable and sad

​@@handznetShut up.

My dad who grew up with these films disagrees with you on this one.

@@someangrypotato7197 Be quiet.

Exactly. If Kathleen Kennedy is going to do that to every classical franchise under her jurisdiction, count me out.

See, for example, "Logan."

@@gettysburgeddie9924Totally agree. In Logan they deconstructed him by stripping away his abilities and his environment, but not his character.

I mean, what to expect, when all these tropes became popular thanks to "Hero being good and winning is generic" 90s-00s generations attitude. Now they are grown ups and making their "special" movies, that are not only far more cliche, but also just blatantly bad in every other aspect.

deconstruction without reconstruction is vandalism

No, typically fanfic communities slap that shit down. I'm confident fanfic websites would do better.

fanfic writers actually like and have respect for the series. a fanfic writer would do something that respects the seris even if it writing flaws

@@randomprotag9329 Exactly. While it's fair enough to point out that "Mary Sue" is a real problem in fanfic, it's also true that decent writers learn why people don't like it, and stop doing it. It's part of learning how to write, and I think fanfic communities really aren't a bad way to learn how. Typically, when people start writing fanfic they're letting strangers read their stuff for the first time. It's a common problem most fanfic writers overcome. Inserting a brunette Mary Sue with a british accent -- and doing it at least three times (I dunno, was there one in the Willow series) shows inability to learn at a truly shocking tier.

I heard this about marvel, wouldn't be surprised if it's all of Disney. They do NOT want fans writing for them, or in any creative position. A diehard fan of any material, with good writing skills, will push back on the agenda, them changing important lore, shooting down their dumb ideas because in no way does it fit in the canon. And I think they think it makes them look bad. Look at us we hired a nobody fanfic writer that hasn't received a useless degree, to them that's embarrassing. Remember it's not about talent it's about optics and doing as your told

No, because those people either don’t have the skill to write engaging stories, have bizarre crossover ideas, confused character writing that doesn’t line up with the original to force the illogical plot that feels like it only exists to make the OC suffer along or it’s a strange thing that the author made to conceive a child to.

The whole self-aware humor feels just to me like it's overused. I mean that's part of Deadpool and always has been, but Deadpool is a parody character he’s meant to mock everything else.

Just a hint of woke is enough to put off an audience going, now. The game is up. I want to watch feel good movies again, with heroes and no identity preaching. And so do most other people.

It worked pretty well. Helena was a fine “strong” female character not annoying unbearable woke brat like for example new Predator. I enjoyed their interaction in the screen. It was better than 99% crap movies made today

It’s the same treatment they gave Luke Skywalker.

@@handznet It was really bad lol. I couldn't even stand one minute of her due to her lack of charisma and awful acting

Harrison Ford is a good actor trapped in a Hollywood shell of himself. If the rumors are correct, he wanted to be killed in The Force Awakens because he was tired of being Cool Star Wars Guy Solo. Then they had the gall to call him again for Rise of Skywalker and he was like "Fuck you I'll show up but I ain't cutting my hair or shaving just give me my check". Dude was having more fun in The Expendables than these infinite money machines.

​@@viscountrainbows2857When did I say Harrison Ford is a bad actor? I love the work of him. I literally said Disney should let this poor men rest for crying out loud. Do you even realize how old 80 years is? This men doesn't need to make movies anymore. Has Disney trapped his soul for ransom or something?

@@requiemagent3014yes

​@requiemagent3014 If I was in his shoes and 80, and I got to do a movie of bringing down disney, I'd do it in a heartbeat. That and doing movies with family, no point in doing solo movies anymore, not a starwars pun.

​@@Tee008Can you please explain to me how this is "bringing down Disney"? You do realize Disney doesn't make movies for the domestic market anymore. They couldn't care less how much this movie makes in the west. They literally cash in with this crap in China. They watch it anyway. Disneys money mainly comes from the foreign market in china. So all this does is making Harrison Ford look foolish without any consequences for Disney. They made their money back already.

It was weird. But it was weirdly mostly noticeable only in first few scenes

Instead of the deepfake they could have just gotten Anthony Ingruber to play young Indy.

The first three as I pretend the fourth doesn’t exist(although the final moments of the movie are good).

Wait a minute, Temple of the Forbidden Eye isn't a movie, it's a ride, you silly! Or is that Fate of Atlantis.... wait, that's a video game! Emperor's To- video game, again. The Young In- that was a TV show... so close enough.

She's not even attractive. I don't know why people in the industry give her favors for favors of all people

The protector is only good for its action sequences. Other than that every thing about that movie is awful. The editing is bad there too. The story is ridiculous. It’s literally only worth watching for the fight scenes. Thankfully they are plentiful and they save an otherwise terrible movie. Tony jaa is a hell of a talented martial artist but he’s not a very good actor. All of his movies are basically just highlight reels of him doing some amazing shit but the movie itself is a piece of shit that makes almost no sense. In the protector you’re literally just moving from set to set and fighting with some Of the worst dialog and editing in between.

@@The_Bigot Oh indeed - I actually recently rewatched it and realized that the dialogue is literally about 1/3 cliched dialogue lines (like "I put you with him so that you could keep him in line, not so that you can become like him!"), and almost all of those bits didn't even apply to the scenes they were in. There were some dialogue exchanges so badly done that I genuinely think they should be shown in Screenwriting courses. Having said that, I did really enjoy the scenes with the elephants themselves. They were the one good thing when there was no action - fortunately, there was plenty of action.

Children of Men is a great movie with multiple well choreographed tracking shots.

@@dragonofepics7324 They were genuinely outstanding as well!

Hell yeah, I love that movie @@dragonofepics7324

Possum is an actual reviewer. Not to be confused with a lot of vloggers who are in the whining about bad modern media grift. Reviewers provide entertainment in form of jokes and insight. The grifters merely whine about how bad something is and how the producers of it are bad at business, first of which lacks substance and the second relevance.

@@ser6Ijvolk Well, i watch a lot of reviewers with quote good and spot on analyses. But i havnt seen anyone do a take this good. He is saying what many subconsciously knows, but cant translate into words. Simple but well saturated with facts and few to no unnecessary rant takes.

Ren and Stimpy and Beavis and Butt-Head were made in the nineties though

Tons of great stuff was made in the 90s. Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Gargoyles, Batman: The Animated Series, the Monday Night Wars in wrestling...

Obviously we peaked. And we're never ever going to get a repeat or more.

@@UnwantedGhost1 I think that there is so much control corporately that suppresses unique ideas, unique, talented people, that we need a major change for that stuff, that talent to float to the surface - and that we probably haven't really "peaked," so much as the ability for people to float to the surface that have unique and new visions, talent, are suppressed. IDK if that phrasing of it makes sense, perhaps I'm just overthinking my words. 😂

Things went downhill in the good old year of 2009.

Bro that's a perfect idea

these companies have access to the whole internet, and instead of scouring the comment sections for good ideas and paying for comments like these, they hire and risk everything on complete weirdos. it really shows how they don't do their jobs AT ALL. I mean, these execs have only one job: to guess what people might like. it is not really that hard.

Do you understand that that line is presented to let the audience know she is a self absorbed narcissist? Are you that slow that you take everything literally and at face value?

There is already a series ,,adventures of young Indiana Jones".

*The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles* (March 4 1992 - June 16 1996)

Barring the fact that they literally already did kid Indy back in the 90s, why would you even suggest that they do it nowadays? Especially since this is a Disney IP. Disney, who has famously been producing TV shows of longrunning IPs only to emasculate the longstanding male characters with garbage female characters. Not only that, but a new attempt at a younger Indy would just piss people off because you could never cast someone who would satisfy fans. Look at Solo; people largely didn't accept Ehrenreich as young Han and Glover as young Lando. So you're basically asking for Disney to make a TV show which would only miscast someone as Indy, and then proceed to neuter Indy with "Female Badasses™."

@@mallios13 The problem with Solo was the script, not the actors. People didn't except how they changed an established character background with a lot of depth into the bullshit that movie was. For what I know, the casting was the least criticized part about it.

inscribed maybe, not inscripted.

I mean we do see Toht escape the bar when he tries to pick up the headpiece, he runs out of the tavern and puts his hand in the snow

​​@@ablosch2452 not as much as the fridge, with the cliff you can just guess he grabbed onto a rock or something, it really doesn't matter.

@dominothealphaandomega5512 yes. You are the only one who thinks that would be sick. With any other company it could be cool, but not disney

Imagine the nightmare world it'd be if KK suddenly realized that she could very well move on from Lucas's filmography, to the library of games produced by LucasArts. I don't want to live in a world where Kennedy got to shoot a modern film adaptation of _Grim Fandango._

This. If you want to move the franchise onto new characters then either have the old ones pass the torch in some way or have their legacy respected. Making Luke an old, bitter hermit is only going to frustrate people with 'what ifs'.

Unlike Maverick and johnny lawrence the difference is that these characters actually evolve. Notice how both of those characters have absolutely no development over the last time we see them?

@@thebeast1348 Becoming completely different characters to when we last saw them with no reasonable or feasible explanation is not character evolution, it's simply bad writing.

@@danjoredd Let’s not forget Woody.

Go see it with clear head. These reviews are all on hate bandwagon. I hate most of current movies and especially franchise continuations and this didn’t make me mad at all.

@handznet Glad you liked it, but I still think I'm going to sit this one out, if for no other reason than I can't really fathom an IJ movie without Spielberg's direction.

It's genuinely good, the KZfaq review crowd decided they'd hate it off fake leaks and are now saving face by pretending the leaks were true but reshot. It's not as good as the 80s trilogy but is miles clear of Crystal Skull and is worth a watch

@myaccountusername Like I said I haven't really like what I've seen from the trailers, it just doesn't look like Indiana Jones to me.

@@euphoriam4020 that's fair enough, I had real reservations about it but enjoyed it, I'd say it's worth a watch but it's up to you of course

Well the old movies are still there to watch . Would you not do the same if someone offers your old ass 20 mil for a new movie ? I am old enough to remember the same exact kind of reactions from Skull and now it seems that movie is mostly seen as watchable to meh ...with this movie will be the same in 15 years but Fords family will have 20 million dollars extra . Which is good for them and for him being able to do a full movie at his age

Do you seriously think Disney wouldn't have destroyed this legacy IP anyways? With or without ford wouldn't have mattered

Well it’s doable if you make the woman an actual defined character. Ellen Ripley in the Alien movies was a defined character. We know she worked in the freight business, we know Ripley was familiar with using tools, etc. She also did what she did with the Alien Queen using equipment from her job. In that sense, we have a general idea of the kind of personality and skill set that Ripley had. Just making someone good at everything isn’t a character, nor is it a personality.

@@AdrianFahrenheitTepes Exactly! The great female heroes we did have before had thoughtful writing and depth. Nowadays all we get is flat caricatures of what these Hollywood types think a woman is.

Look up "Yuri Bezmenov, Four Steps for Communist Ideological Subversion". The current Hollywood trend of demonizing men and replacing them with the "strong, independent woman" is nothing more than a tool to create division and help in the destabilization process". The social justice activists are referred to as "useful idiots" whose purpose is to help destabilize a nation and then be disposed of when they are no longer needed. Now look up the following: Controlled Opposition Hegelian Dialectic Reverse Psychology and mob mentality. Just to be blunt here: Disney, along with many other companies these days, is controlled by BlackRock and a few other investment firms. The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, is an Orthodox Jewish businessman. The best way to control the opposition, is to lead it yourself. If you want to subdue Liberals, you control them from within and lead them to their destruction. While Hollywood and these large corporations appear to be promoting Marxist ideologies, they are doing so in such a way people will go the intended direction of Conservative ideologies. Communism and Religion Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.” So the pendulum swings, now violently, now slowly; and every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival. William Ralph Inge "Democracy and the Future" The Atlantic Monthly (March 1922 The current atheistic, Liberal Marxist institution (which appears to be in control of the MSM, entertainment, academia, corporations and politics) is preparing the way for their most hated rivals, Ultra-Orthodox Religious Conservative Fascists, to come to power. “The Communist soul is the soul of Judaism. Hence it follows that, just as in the Russian revolution the triumph of Communism was the triumph of Judaism, so also in the triumph of fascism will triumph Judaism.” - (A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 143-144). It's not just the Jews in on this, though. The Roman Catholic Church is a large factor in all of this as well, which will become apparent in the next few years, especially after DJT has been reinstalled in the White House. What is the “7 Mountains Mandate” (Dominionism/Dominion Theology)? Supposedly there are 7 “mountains” of global society-Arts and Entertainment, Education, Economy, Family, Government and Military, Media and Religion. (Note: The US voting machines are called “Dominion”.) According to this false teaching, by conquering these 7 “mountains”, the Kingdom of God will be established. Basically, a Liberalism problem has been created so that Conservatives can offer the solution: A revolutionary change of power in which Liberals are removed from the seven mountains of society by enforcing religious laws derived from the Jewish Talmud (the Seven Laws of Noah, endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Jews, the two religions which dominate the US Supreme Court) as a means to make the US "One Nation, Under God" and to Make America Great Again. The New World becomes a New World Order, the Fourth Reich of the Holy Roman Empire. (I suppose you didn't know every single US President, minus Ford, is descended from Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne via King John of England.)
