Make sure to gaslight your audience into believing the reboot of the reboot is the original.

Don’t forget to say “Remember this? Remember how you liked that in the original?” Every.Single.Episode.

Instead of rebooting classics, we need to reboot franchises that had potential, but just didn't work.

"Hey wait a minute, this reboot is missing the lo-" "Here's some fanservice! The love triangle!" I love how JP knows his audience so well.

Man, TV Tropes is gonna have a field day with this episode.

TWA is reaching new levels of meta that humanity cannot comprehend.

"We go...WOKE!" *Cue dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria*

JP is an actual genius. He made a video which would deliberately be age restricted so his cinematic universe could shelter in place.

"The pacing is somehow too fast and too slow." That is far too accurate. Rushing through relevant story progression to get to a few episodes of nothing.

It's funny how JP's ad-pocalypse plot lines up with an actual advertising surge, and it could have aged poorly or not made sense if ads weren't the only option of revenue for most creators.

Wow, these upgraded graphics completely make up for the lack of any new narrative creativity! Yet another great video!

This is an unforseen consequence of saying that some media isn't "Just for kids" In artist's terms, it means "Make a story that anyone can find meaning in" but in business terms, it means "We can still make money off our audience, even when they turn 40 years old"

Can't wait for the reboot of the reboot about reboots

A reboot should genuinely try to fix glaring problems with the original especially with properties that have potential but just didn't make it in the end

1:29 I think it's funny that this scene implies that J.C's body is still behind the shed 😂

As someone whos been here from the beginning there's some interesting nods to the past of Terrible Writing Advice 1: When JP Shoots inner creativity, he shoots him in the same place JC, the original character, was murdered 2: When JP talks about C to D-tier characters, all characters shown are models from the beginning of TWA, they haven't been used for a long time, but the A-lister superhero still gets used on occasion when he's needed. 3: When the trains crash, those trains are from the steampunk video.

TWA always delivers, and he hit me in the feels this time. This video is so fitting for this era of media.

The final "Chrome killed AdBlock" was just spot on

On the opposite end of the spectrum from the “reboot made out of contempt for the original”, you’ve got the “overly saccharine reboot that worships the ground the original walked on even if the original was completely different tonally”. Ghostbusters has had both of these reboots. Also, you’ve really hit the nail on the head for why RedLetterMedia is heads and shoulders above so many other reviewers, because despite whatever grievances they may have with the movies they watch, they don’t take themselves too seriously for what they do (whether it be using a comical character like Mr. Plinkett or the often melodramatic “plots” of the Half in the Bag intros) but still manage to get their points across. Meanwhile, a lot of these other people will treat reviewing these movies or series as almost life or death situations, lol.

3:14 also don't forget a complete and total abandonment of the themes and arcs that made the clips so iconic. instead just replaying the dialog or scene move for move in a 4th wall breaking wink at the audience that's as distracting as it is poorly placed.

"Paul Atreides is a white savior!" As a major Dune fan, I felt that one in my *soul* there. If there's ever been a case study for "How to not understand the themes of a work of fiction" it'd be on people who don't get what Dune is all about.

This one was too real. I simultaneously want to laugh and cry. I was terrified the TWA expanded universe was legit getting rebooted. Fantastic to see its still going hard.

Your book doesn't need a reboot, it just finally needs that sequel I've been waiting for. I wanna see Terra, Roland, and Hikari go apartment hunting!

i would actually like to watch a 70+ hour video essay by JP.

I appreciate the reference to the comic book industry. I think it was with the creation of a Superboy Prime who basically acted as a mass-murdering entitled fan-boy, that I realized, "Oh. They HATE the people who still give them money."

it would be funny if this was just the reboot video but with like 1 extra character/detail hidden somewhere

As Cinema Snob pointed out. The 'Halloween franchise has (3) Halloween 2's, since it has not one, but two different reboots. Yeah, they done jumped the reboot shark with that franchise.

I'm So glad Lens Flare survived that horrible Trainwreak, good thing their career survived.

Reboots can be pretty sucky sometimes, but you know what never needs a reboot? The love triangle!

Man the endings have been getting a lot more interesting and it makes me wanna go back and watch all your videos just to see the ending videos can we make like a super cut version where it’s just the ad reads

This video was hilarious and so true. I also had to bite back a snort when I saw a Batgirl in the trash. (seriously, how bad was it that it got the 'the day the clown cried' treatment?!)

Tardigradologist here - tardigrade rear pair of legs should stem out of very end of its body, without leaving a tail section. Another thing ruined by bad reboots

10:27 "But the video is almost fini" *gets cut* 😂😂 Another wonderful and sharp video.

JP demonstrates everything that's bad about today's movies better than I could ever have hoped to.

I can't believe this video hits as hard as the original even though it's a reboot

This specific episode of TWA is probably the most ingeniously designed of all of them; it’s practically a work of art. The lack of background music was a touch of genius. That really conveys the brokenness the episode was trying to convey. Edit:: okay, there was background music. It was just very faint. I couldn’t hear it because I was in a slightly noisy room.

Dunkleosteus was a seven meter long armoured predatory placoderm fish from the late Devonian period (380 to 359 million years ago). It had a bony head, massive jaws and in place of teeth blade like extensions of the skull.

I feel JP refreshed the animations. Legit though I feel he improved that in the rebooted rebootee reboot.

Three years! He's been waiting three years to make this joke! Every video since the first reboot one was just him biding his time!

My favorite part is J.C still being behind the shed. 😭✨️

I spent the first 4 minutes doubting whether I had already seen this video or not. Nice work!

To be honest, I think most perpetual ongoing shounen need a reboot to iron out all the inconsistencies, cut or combine under utilized characters, fix plot holes,... Most of these big issues aren't very noticeable when you are writing/editing 1 chapter at a time in a 500 plus chapters manga

The love making video being the shelter from ads is gold.

I cant believe that Im more invested in the characters of the TWA extended universe than I was in any of the characters of any movies in recent memory

1:45 I like how he actually shows characters that barely appear throughout these videos to show c to d tier characters

As someone who's currently in the process of not only reduxing but overhauling a wholeass book worth of material, I feel like, if a reboot or remake is just "the original but worse", it has no reason to exist.

And this is the part where people would be like "OMG JP HAS SOLD OUT!!!111" and the making several posts on reddit and twitter as to how the channel used to be about the bad writing advice but now it's all about the money, but despite that, the company fat cats would still try to milk the JP BRAND as much as possible to the extent of cannibalizing the show if it came to that all while JP would have to deal with personal problems and constant harassment from his former fan base which would, inevitably, lead to alcohol and drug issues.

JPB's most meta product yet. Truly a masterpeice that will be hated by someone because culture wars. With any luck JPB won't get outed as a serial sex pest.

It's just 6 mins and the level of Meta in this one had already surpassed the collective of all previous videos.

JP, you made a masterpiece here. It's just... I never expected I to have 'nam flashbacks from reboot trauma... You magnificent, glorious monster.

That Batgirl reference by the end was too good.

TWA expanded universe is slowly becoming the real reason to watch. JP knows it, too... What a legend. The only thing that can make it better...? *A love triangle, of course!* :'D

Woah! I can't believe JP actually made SPHERES for this video! Look! There's also multiple Spheres! And they [rotate]

There was an element missing, a reboot rebooted should aim to get as much revenue from streaming on the first week, filling the spot to let the company disguise the fact they dont have enough good content, to justify a continued subscription A famous franchise is as good as a good one Well, that can always go on the next reboot

I have never laughed so hard at your videos. Especially when it's so reflective of every movie since 2016.

Part of the fun of videos like this is to look at the jokes and try to interpret which thing is being made fun of. I caught references to everything from the Mummy 2017 and the Live Action Disney remakes to the Justice League and new Star Wars trilogy, and even some Nostalgia Critic potshots! Love it. Also, RIP Batgirl movie. And Sir Adblock.

If only bait-and-switch really meant "we baited you in, here's a free Nintendo Switch", then it'd be totally worth it.

I think this video finally made me understand the whole “so bad that it’s good” spiel. This is because the video is good, but it tries so hard to be bad that it somehow reverts back to being good in a twisted way, and I love it. This is a good video because it tires hard to be bad and it works.

Needless to say, this is the first TWA episode to have me punching my bed with laughter

Gotta love how the "CGI" is composed of low quality PNGs spinning around

Make sure to announce the new product is "updated for a modern audience"

All jokes aside, i can't get over the quick hanging up animation in the intro. It's so satisfying!!!

Oh so many Take Thats to point out. Star Trek, the Sony Spider-Man movies after Sam Raimi's trilogy, Fantastic 4 2015, Ghostbusters 2016, The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy (which is half sequel/half soft reboot), and think the DC Movieverse as a whole. Expertly done, JP! EDIT: and Disney's live-action remakes/sequels/prequels/whatevers of their animated classics.

HBO took this advice to heart

Who hopes he talks about the “Collective Consciousness” trope, the “Hero being forced to give up” so he can talk about Supergirl, “Rules of Nature” trope, the “PI Antagonist” trope so he has a reason to watch a certain Tarantino film, and the “Scapegoats” trope so he can talk about Queer people and certain 90s video games?

I love how the lens flare changes with every scene haha

Please do a video on the following: Fantasy quests, maguffins and writing stories set in high school/college.

“At least the effects were decent” is basically Hollywood’s slogan at this point

As a comic book fan, yes there's no greater punishment to us than making us work. And making us responsible, instead of just consume-bitch-consume cycling endlessly. The horror...

12:05 I love this speech. It’s amazing

We're reaching ungodly levels of sarcasm

Laughed so hard! Edit: Damn, what a call out. Love it. Love everything about it.

3:47 "Lord of the Rings is an allegory for World War II" Well Tolkien was indeed ahead of his time.

JP, you should make a video of a topic of a smaller yet equally important scale for writers as your broad genre/archetype-focused videos. By that, I mean a video on prose would be excellent! After all, the best plot, setting, and characters in the world won't mean anything if your first sentence is "A rustle of busyness has erupted within the Morane estate this morning."

This video is probably JP's greatest triumph It feels JUST as insufferable as any movie/reboot in the last two years. (Though in a way that shows JP did his homework and actually put effort into doing it. Instead of just taking shortcuts) I CANNOT wait for YMS' take on it that'll be ten times longer than the original movie and all of his points could've been summed up in like...thirty minutes. (Maybe even less)

Thank you for making these videos They’re probably some of the best writing advice I’ve seen

Bravo you pissed everyone off more or less equally👍

One of the reasons why there are so many reboots is that intellectual property laws favour bigger companies.

Don’t forget to update your story for a “ modern Audience” which is code for “Making a story for the creators rather than the fans

I like how you've made sponsorships segments into a whole cinematic universe with a coherent plot each episode

6:41 As comic book fan, I felt that...

I love how the Dark Lord asked if a side character who had a ten second mentor arc shoed into the end of the video would "get better". Seems he still has a small way to go in his character arc of distinguishing the good guys who live versus those who die.

The Dark Lord made my battery go into saving mode. He's that powerful.

i love your content man, its really open my mind about everything wrong with this industry with teaching how to not doing it. I hope i can buy your book someday. you are amazing man

I was literally thinking about this channel earlier today. These videos are the best 👍 .

i like the fact that the dark lord sounded worried for someone

This is my fav ad sponsor block yet

You vs inner critic is by far the most poignant Id vs Super Ego I’ve ever seen

I just realized Comic Relief Characters Rebooted will be about the Joss Weadon-ication of characters and now EVERY MAN A COMIC RELIEF

Hey JP, I have a small suggestion but I don't know if it applies to your field. How about a TWA episode on Tokusatsu? More specifically the super hero branch? Basically an episode on Power Rangers style stories and the toy driven nature of the (relatively) more recent shows? Edit: For those who are commenting about the "Toy driven nature" part. Is a nudge towards those who complain about "To many toys" in more recent times while actively ignoring how iven Showa era series were just like that.

This is what I needed tonight. Thanks JP.

I gotta say, JP murdering his creativity fits his character to like a crazy degree.

I love how much this applies for a movie like Kingsman: The Golden Circle. It’s such a great example of a mid sequel

I love how you mentioned RedletterMedia in a positive way and trashed The Nostalgia Critic.

I cannot understate how amazing this video is. Well done JP, you always deliver, but today you made something special.

The lens flair in this is amazing. I'm hooked.

"Reboot the Like Button before we lose access to that one" With KZfaq, this is a frightening possibility.

We need a multiverse video following on this one. Since that seems to be where creative bankruptcy inevitably leads modern writers.

Of course the reboots need the same name as the original, just to confuse people

Fun vid, shots taken at lowtier youtubers who make 4+ hour videos on "why this mediocre but overall inoffensive movie is THE WORST THING EVER, KILLED MY GRANDMA, BURNED MY CROPS AND POISONED WATER SUPPLIES part 1" are appreciated
