Hollywood still doesn't understand the internet: the game: the movie.

"Hey, that's a reference to some media that I've seen before!" - the movie.

All the anime girls were too busy fighting in the best waifu wars to bother attending the battle from the movie. The furries were all at a... well lets just call it a party.

Me being a veteran of the internet, when she said "You wouldn't be as attracted to me in real life", my thoughts went immediately to, "Oh, she's a dude."

How to win the game: 1. Gather a group of people 2. All choose Godzilla 3. You win

“I understood that reference!” That’s it. That’s the whole movie.

Noone drove backwards in a multiplayer racing game, the classic griefing tactic as old as the genre itself.

The fact that they didn’t realize on how quickly people will solve Easter eggs attest to the fact that they have never watch a cod zombies Easter egg challenge. People will scour every minute detail to solve a puzzle.

4chan found a flag in a house in London from the way the light came through the window in about 3 hours, they would have solved the game before it even came out.

The girl with the "ugly" birthmark I honestly though was supposed to be a sweet God of War tattoo

>just log off the internet and spend some quality time with your model girlfriend *very relatable*

This entire movie is just a display of ignorance towards internet culture and the different types of people who play video games. There were NO modders/hacks, No roadrunners no one who used exploits. No one who knows how to tech.

Half anime girls and half Ugandan knuckles... yeah that sounds about right.

Mater from cars would be the first person to win the race

this movies entire point is "is technology bad? well no but actually yes but actually not really but actually kind of"

“No one in this American trailer park dosent have a weapon as well” What kind of trailer park is this????

"You can be anything you want to be" - Not a single wizard in the entire movie. Future people are dull.

“Hey that’s a reference I know” The book: the movie

''Oh i'm not attractive, im ugly don't look at me... I have a birthmark...'' I swear to god those people don't understand how insulting and damaging this kind of shit is for people who are ACTUALLY considered ugly by society's norms. this ''self-conscious trope'' thing made me rage so much, me AND my parents

The Iron Giant: "I am not a gun..." This movie: *FOOKIN LASER SIGHTS!*

Remember commenters, if you have to read the book to make a movie make sense, then the movie has failed in telling the story. The book being good is completely irrelevant in the context of judging a movie (Ancient comment, but I keep getting notifications, so here's an edit for clarity) This comment's aimed to those who could defend the movie by saying the book is good. I couldn't care less if the book is good or bad, it's irrelevant since this is for those who think the book is good. From the amount of comments about the book being awful, I realize this must not have been clear

But Adam, it had a thing you knew, you were supposed to clap.

"what's 4chan?" Steven Spielberg.

"or the movie has seriously underestimated how wild and crazy people's imaginations can be." a line to be remembered.

“Ready Player One” will do for women with birthmarks what “Jaws” did for the ocean.

“Why was there only one furry? Were they all quarantined?”

“Take a break from the real world because it’s great!” Wasn’t Wayne’s life garbage though? After all, he had a crappy aunt who had a crappy abusive boyfriend who lives with them. During the movie, Wayne’s aunt threatens to KICK him out of his home after the aunt’s crappy boyfriend was getting all mad at Wayne because he lost a game he bet money on or something ( I haven’t watched this movie in a long while so I forgot a bunch of stuff) “because of Wayne” because Wayne used the bf’s gaming stuff. You would think Wayne would understand that some people use the Oasis to escape their crappy lives like he did but I guess not.

I wish there was a moment in the final battle where Gordon Freeman was bhopping at Mach 20 bashing enemies in the head with a crowbar

"Everyone should take a break from the virtual world because reality is great!" *cuts to him as a millionaire effectively controlling the entire world making out with his supermodel girlfriend* .. Cool, let me turn off Halo and go get my supermodel girlfriend. Oh and I guess I'll take one of my 250 GTOs out for a spin too, huh? ...Oh. Oh yeah.

I shut down the Oasis on Tuesdays and Thursdays because reality is great. -The guy who literally lives in a dystopia

"how does manual labour in a virtual world make sense?" Adum's never played an MMO lol

Nearly two years later no one even remembers this movie.

When the cops showed up at the end, I was so thrown. I was, like, "There are laws and law enforcement in this world? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

adam there are plenty of furries on vrchat.

"Maybe the furies where quarantined" Are we all furries now

Enough people must have asked GameStop for Battle Toads that they actually decided to stock it.

I lost my shit in the theater when the main dude walks over to the chick in real life, brushes her hair to the side and plainly says "You have a birthmark." Couldn't stop laughing.

Obviously there are no trolls in the future because this is from the timeline where Bully Hunters didn't flop.

Despite the fact that apperantly the 80's was the highest point in pop culture references, the movie forgot one main thing to reference. DOOM

Shoulda just gone the SaO VR route. Magical headset, taps into your brain, it's all in your head. Would literally explain away all the realword inconsistencies.

I imagine there'd be a 4chan world in the Oasis.

I was really annoyed how conventionally attractive they are. They were supposed to be ugly. A little dark spot on the eye of a Natalie Portman lookalike? COME ON

I think it would've been a pretty good visual gag if they cut to the people fighting in the real world without any weapons

"Not everyone has a girl friend." You said. Man, how can I not love you.

Immersion was completely ruined by the lack of anime traps This isn’t even a joke man why is everyone in this virtual reality so humourless

"You know what would be really cool? if we could just go backwards super fast" So... it's the guy who made *Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing?*

10:38 it would be good if they used the fact that she's attractive as commentary about how untenable beauty standards fuck with people, I mean think about it, he could be like "girl you look beautiful as shit, what drugs you on?" and she could be like "no, I'm not pretty, I'l never be as attractive as Jessica Rabbit or some shit" and it can be about how the internet's photoshopping and obsession with fantasy can make us feel like the real world isn't good enough, which is something that's a theme in this movie about being consumed by fiction and not living in the real world, it can make people think they aren't pretty enough when they look just fine

people: “SAO was bad”. Steven Spielburg: “Hold my drink”

Pre 20th Century Fiction: 'It's magic! It doesn't have to make sense.' Post-20th Centry Fiction: 'It's technology! It doesn't have to make sense.'

I love Steven Spielberg's Sword Art Online !

Imagine you can't move your body in real life, & only in the virtual world. Then imagine some kid went "You know what? You can't use the game two times out of the week (UwU)"

YMS is the only channel i keep rewatching again and again, and still keep getting entertained by every single time. I watched almost every video on this channel, and I have a few favourites that change in a while. Thank you Adum (and editor(s))!!! I appreciate your work and love your personality.

Trolls in this world would be fun

Adum walked into this movie WANTING to off himself on Tuesdays and Thursdays

And in the end, the main character totally forgot the person that looked after him his whole life, died in front of him? Makes sense..?

I still find it funny that one of the biggest argument for this movie's quality is there are no furries.

the most unrealistic part was that people in 2050 still remembered the failure of a game battleborn and wanted to be characters from it in the oasis

My issue with the ending is that the world is a dystopian setting. He’s basically forcing people to face the horrible reality that is poverty and pollution and shit for 2 days of the week, when most (if not all) people, even dispite the poverty, can afford/have access to literal heaven

The book and movie were godawful terrible, but I think special mention needs to be made of how out of touch Ernest Cline is. He fails at pop culture callbacks because it's supposed to be the 80s but his knowledge mostly mostly begins and ends at 1977-1983. He's writing nostalgia for 30 somethings with the knowledge of a 40 something. An 80s nostalgia fest with a big chunk of it being about video games, and not one mention of Nintendo? Black Tiger and Joust as the most iconic arcade games? TRS-80 as the the most iconic 80s home computer? No Commodore 64 or Apple II? Nobody quotes any lines from Wargames that aren't from the computer. Beyond the pop culture, he totally fails at capturing online culture. He has no clue how virtual reality works. He has no clue how internet communities work. He has no clue how people interact online. He has no clue how ARG games play out. He writes the internet like someone who only watched Tron once instead of actually using the internet. The most fascinating thing though? You compare Ready Player One with Ender's Game. Orson Scott Card managed to absolutely nail how online competitive gaming works: playing against the predictable macro master AI, getting creamed playing your first human after being used to the predictable AI, rush strategies, shifting metas, etc. Card was able to perfectly write back in 1985 how modern online gaming would work, 15+ years before it happened. By comparison, Cline wrote his book AFTER online gaming had existed for over 10 years and STILL was unable to accurately portray it. That's just embarrassing. (seriously though, ARG games have been around since dial up internet. How do you write a book about them in 2011 not knowing that some obsessive message board group would burn through any of them in under 3 days?)

My biggest peeve of this film: The guy plays Goldeneye as Odd Job with slappers only. For you kids out there, that was the biggest dick move in gaming evah. I swore at my laptop when he said that.

The ending was basically like, "It looks like you've been playing for a while, maybe you should take a break! "

The main character had a BTTF Dolorean. That thing flies. Why couldn't it have just flown over King Kong?

How do they run this game, do they have pcs? Is it ran through the goggles? If its on ur pc, why did no one datamine the game and just make a cheatengine table to complete the easter egg

this is like that movie dark dungeon that “teaches” people that rpgs and larping are satanic and/or endorse satanism.

Actually yeah, how come nobody decided to be the doom guy??? any of them???

The Oasis is basically VRChat on steroids.

Cringiest movie I've seen in the last 10 years.

Steven, being a professional boomer, really under estimated gamers.

References the movie is 10/10 because it has 1 character that I love 900ft in the background. Your opinion is invalid as mine is better

quarantine furries

I feel like the slave labour could be cool if they had people grinding for in game items you can sell. Kinda how people in elite dangerous would kidnap noobs and basically enslave them to get fuel light years away from any beginner area.

"Apparently Battletoads had a huge resurgence in the year 2044" Battletoads is getting a new game this year so I mean...

It was basically spy kids 3d on lsd

The army of 4chan would have figured out this puzzle in an hour

The entire movie was just - "Hey!! Remember the 80s? Remember that movie you liked? Remember Atari? Wasn't the 80s so wacky?!"

James Halliday: be whatever you want HP Lovecraft: I'm About to End This Man's Whole Career

The first thing you see in the movie is Minecraft. 10/10

Ready player one is just a high budget version of spy kids 3

I feel like all any of the writers had to do was watch a GDQ video or some KZfaqr with a GameShark, and then they'd quickly understand that if there's something convoluted in a video game, especially something that leads to a big prize, there is a massive community that will figure it out and they will do it within a year at MOST

adam: apparently battle toads had a big resurgence in 2044 E3 2019: Okay so battle toads are back

Hell, the Iron Giant reference also makes *no sense* because in the original movie they say "he hates guns". Cue this movie having the IG use a gun. Wow, movie.

Its like spykids 3

7:50 funny you say that. The DeLorean, you know the car the main character used the entire film, is perfect for that. He could just flirt over the jump. Problem solved

Could someone please explain how Spielberg went from developing Jurassic Park and Schindler's list at the same time and shooting them back to back. To spending 3 years working on this? Did the Crystal Skull fry his brain??

I saw Tracer and I clapped! I know her from all the hentai I watch!

1/10 not enough Solaire

Bruh that driving backwards thing is made even funnier when you look at the easter eggs in shit like cod zombies that were found in days

ive seen this movie 4 times, once for every year in highschool bc teachers thought this was a god tier movie to explain the ‘heros journey’

0/10 No anime girls.

To me, this movie was just Steven Spielberg saying: "Hey, i'm a millionaire, time to spend it all so i can see Chucky vs. A T-rex."

Battletoads was referenced because Battletoads 3 was released in their universe after the success of Battletoads 2

I wish Elon Musk would have joined the fight as an anime girl

If you're going into an EPIC battle where you can be anything, I think a lovecraftian god would be much better than a battle toad

"Apparently Battletoads had a huge resurgence in 2044" >2018 >E3 >New Battletoads game announced That joke didn't age well

“It’s not like people would just form a queue!” _looks at Classic Wow_

I was literally cracking up dying this entire video. Makes the virtual character designs even more of a joke.

So wait, the key to all of this was the reverse-drive-bug in Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing?

Isn't this movie basically the plot of spy kids 3?

If I learned anything from VR chat, if this was real about 5% of people would take it seriously, 15% would be dumb memes, and the rest would be traps.

4:57 that didn’t age well
