the guy just putting in his dad's password is honestly the most accurate depiction of hacking I've ever seen in a mainstream movie.

Imagine these preschoolers going to die for not passing a test from an alphabet knowledge

Unrealistic, the UN would never actually do something.

This entire plot was actually copied from a Doctor Who episode called "The Beast Below" released in 2010, honestly the plots are completely identical. Kids have to take a test, if they fail they get "killed", but it turns out they just become labourers underground.

The most unrealistic thing in the movie is anyone listening to what the UN says

He gave us a sequel to the Logan Paul movie, but not a sequel to Petscop

genuinely pissed off that bunked was mentioned but Jessie wasn't

I swear Payday 2 guards are smarter than the guards in this movie

Don't let the 19 billion view stretch goal distract you from the fact that this is pyro's plan to dethrone MLG teletubbies as his most watched video

I love how Pyro changed the thumbnail to show that the real The Thinning was the hairline we lost along the way

I love the concept of “In some countries, they kill off their old people. In others, they only allow parents to have one baby (the most reasonable in that sort of situation). In America, what if only the best kids at retaining information they’ve been given were allowed to live here!”

Honestly the whole mess in the second test can be avoided if the system allow Mason to change the score instead of swapping it with someone else.

As a New Zealander I would like to say we also have fish and chips. But no wife...

The acting, world-building, and plot development in the honey ad is genuinely better than in the movie.

Most hacking really is just, "I stole your password, now I can get into your account." So, that hacking scene was actually pretty accurate lol

Logan’s a good actor, I mean he acted like an interesting person for years

If you blink in a pyro video, you miss an hour of editing

i like how the test scores are dragable so you can just switch them

The fact that the movie tried to pass off Logan Paul as ‘smart’ is hilarious to me

I remember when the trailers of this were first coming out and I thought the idea was really interesting, a dark future where they're so obsessed with intellect that they let a test define whether you live or die. But then they shot themselves in the foot with the ending showing that they failures of the test literally are just sent to work, producing the tablets that are used for the test. You could paint that as a reflection of society where the lower-scoring people have to work menial jobs (line worker, shelf-stacker, etc.) that are generally considered undesirable by the rest of the general public, while the more intellectually gifted go on to bigger things such as science, finance, etc. But when the idea of your film is "if you aren't smart enough for this test, you will literally die" it really shoots the whole premise in the foot by meaning the stakes are basically non-existent now. A̶l̶s̶o̶,̶ ̶L̶o̶g̶a̶n̶ ̶P̶a̶u̶l̶'̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶i̶t̶,̶ ̶s̶o̶,̶ ̶a̶u̶t̶o̶m̶a̶t̶i̶c̶ ̶l̶o̶s̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶5̶ ̶p̶o̶i̶n̶t̶s̶.̶

The fact that pyro had to search up “it’s everyday bro” for this video we truly do live in a Society

First Pyro inadvertently baits Petscop 2, now he's purposely baiting the Thinning 2. This says a lot about our society.

That “NO I’M FUCKING NOT!” Was the only time logan has ever made me crack a smile

That movie sounds incredibly boring but the only time I really got an emotional reaction out of this video was you putting Halo music to footage of Mass Effect.

Sequel is “The thickening” and it’s just Logan doing squats for 1h34m

I love the character development in this movie. The dad goes from the most reasonable to the least reasonable character.

My headcanon for the Pop-Tart scene: The dad has a member of his staff go out and buy Pop-Tarts for him, take them out of the cardboard box, and put them in the wooden case. That way he won't know what flavor they are, and he wants to be surprised

I like the concept, but I feel like there were other, far less expensive options. Also, yes Pyro, it's the bottom 5%. Also the reason the adults are so cruel is that they survived the thinning, meaning statistically 60% of everyone they knew in their schools are dead. Also, sequel?

It’s really funny because the UN is going against the Geneva convention in this movie

The concept of "The Thinning" would have the opposite effect of what its supposed to do, since parents would have as many kids as possible to increase the chances of having at least a few that would pass.

Out of all the youtuber movies, this is the only movie I've seen with an interesting premise, probably the only compliment I can give this movie

The story is good but the execution is literally in hell. But there is a major plot hole of why they chose students and not like prisoners, just cut prison food, and spend money to increase agricultural export. 36:31 someone call Johnny Joestar on this man

I feel bad for the guards. They're just trying to do their job, but they all get beat up by Logan's biceps.

Its so weird seeing dez from austin and ally and emma from bunk'd and jesse my childhood in a dystopia movie

12:31 That's probably the most accurate display of hacking. Getting into someone elses account. That's what it is all about. Getting to know their credentials and then using them.

17:02 the most creative sponsor ever

Back in high school our teacher literally made us watch this during class as he thought it was a "great critique of the education system"

pyrocynical has become a fusion between IHE and internet historian

FYI when he said “No relation to a lonely man in Sweden” he was referring to his cry of fear video. My favorite on this channel

That ending kinda defeats the whole purpose of the thinning being a thing in the first place. If it's to solve population issues, but they just move the failures underground, then... You're not solving shit, just moving the problem elsewhere. I don't really see how that solves anything.

“Logan Paul’s first movie is worse than you can imagine” Damn, that is an accomplishment

Manifesting petscop 2

The batons are compact batons that slip into the handle and the are practically wobbly metal pipes

I like how all of these teenagers fighting the guards are somehow jacked enough to beat the shit out of grown men with batons that are probably put through military training.

Kinda late comment, but I’m 99% sure that the masks, voice changers, and makeup are actually designed to protect the identity of the people who do the thinning. It’s kinda like how executioners wore hoods so the city or village wouldn’t know who it was and seek retribution or revenge through them. Might also just be overthinking it, and that they did it to make the guards look extra faceless and evil.

the maths of getting rid of 5% of the same group every year 12 times is insane, by 12th grade only 54ish% of the original cohort would be left

I just remember me and my cousins seeing an ad for this movie years ago and never heard about thinking it was some weird dream I had but nope I just remembered that this is real.

imagine passing the thinning for 11 years straight only to fail the last one

starring Logan Paul's biceps as ''Blake Redding's Biceps"

Why wouldn’t they just put a limit to how many children you can have instead of murdering ones that already exist💀💀

the guards sound like the cloakers from payday 2

15:09 Fukien naoooo XD

“You know what we do with Parasites?!” Put them in the trending tab

Actually a decent and interesting concept, they could have done much more with it

14:50 quick revive doesn't work if you also have who's who

I love how during an event made to maintain resources, they use technological shackles for their failing students.

Not only is this movie set in America, but it's set in Texas. And there's no guns in the movie. Yeah you thought if that one real well Logan

Notice how there's a slight confusion sometimes when someone calls Logan Paul 'Blake', like he still hasn't gotten used to not being recognized every five seconds.

Wow the concept is actually fascinating. I wish they could have done more, also logan's acting is actually not that bad. Not great, not horrible just on the grey area.

The concept is such a great idea! Just… the execution… is so bad. They could’ve done so much better.

Took me too long to realise those were 2 different girls

Only the real ones know that it’s actually Emma Ross from Jessie

3:48 the premise of this movie sounds like a tiktok POV

"we have fish and chips, football, and wife" this is two steps funnier than rick turning himself into a pickle

When the kid gets bumped and loses his contacts... That's just not how contacts work. I wear contacts. They are FIRMLY attached to your retinas. You can't just have them fly out of your face by getting shoved too hard. Edit: Look man I'm not a fuckin' biologist, I just know retinas are bits in the eyes, and mine don't work very well

5:17 You confused the girl from Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2 and 3 with the girl from Diary of a Wimpy Kid 1.

28:55 this joke literally gave me a laugh attack I haven't done that shit in forever lol good video I love the attention to detail in your script it sounds all checked and all looks sick! Great video

12:06 You better believe that's a paddling.

The eye makeup in hindsight is actually genius. In a society not run by brainlets, you'd be easily able to see kids trying to pass as guards since they wouldn't have eye makeup.

Man I'd take Pyro advertising Honey over MrBeast any day

I love how on the advertising section he says but wait, then a ad plays lol

These ads feel like a high effort mobile ad

So guys we did it, pyro made fun of dream

the most annoying part about this, is that the base idea for the film is actually very interesting.

If they remove 5% of the people each test, and there are 12 tests, only 54% of people make it all the way through. also, the test is 2 hours long, so 90% of people with adhd or variants of adhd don't have a chance. Also, it strongly encourages sabotage.

5:09 just when i got a steam notification 🤣

Pyro: "1 wrong question could still give you a 75%" The visual: 4/5=75%

the pop tart scene is like every youtuber trying to stretch a video to 8 minutes

I've been wearing contact lenses for years and I can't imagine how contacts can fall out of your eyes from sneezing or getting lightly bumped

I can’t believe it took Pyro 30 minutes and 40 seconds to make a combine meme

moral of the story: quiet = sad instead of loud = funny

Fun fact: this terrible movie was filmed at my terrible high school!

the ad was more entrtaining than this movie lmao

To be fair the concept is alright it just really needs a rework and better actors with actual skills

Lol why are people saying Pyro has woken up from a coma.. he’s just spent weeks editing a video about Logan Paul, nothing but dedication this whole time

My mom walked in when you were referring to to student giving the teacher “benefits” and she asked what I was watching- so I told her I’m watching an in depth documentary on a 2016 best picture

You know in competent hands, this movie could have been compelling pn highlighting the darker sides of standardized testings, the education system, and the pressures society puts on students and grades. But nope, such potential is wasted.

33:48 he’s walking around like an old person that is going to the kitchen to get a sweet going “well don’t mind if I do hehehe”

The amount of mass effect refrences are taking over the dark souls one, what a society we live in

the concept is actually really interesting, and terrifying... but it's executed so badly

Gaurds sound like they boutta tell me to pick up a can

why do they all have blackberrys, from the guard with a blackberry tablet to the kid with a passport

You're ability to reference the most obscure references on the internet is nothing short of incredible. How much content would I have to inject into my eye sockets for this super ability.

Pyro puts more effort in his ad reads than he did in hunt down the freeman.

Bro I'm freaking out at the fact that you are playing David Bergeaud in the background! I grew up playing Ratchet and Clank!

How is your voice acting better in the Honey promo than in Hunt Down the Freeman

The Promised Neverland walked so The Thinning could trip on its own feet and fall down two flights of stairs

the most annoying thing about this movie is that the concept is honestly pretty intriguing but it's just wasted

*Pyro's sponsor commercials are more interesting than the actual movies*

how did he lose a contact lens from getting knocked lmaooooo
