The first Wonder Woman was like that also. She was a fierce warrior but showed compassion to everyone she encountered, and she fought only to protect other people. She showed a lot of feminine qualities and she carried herself with confidence. She didn't have to act like a man. I love Black Widow but Wonder Woman had the godlike super strength to kick a 200 point man through a brick wall. Natasha did not. And I don't mean to pick on her, all the female face kickers are doing it.

Holly is such a badass in this movie.

I agree. It’s unfortunate that writers, have dialed strong women characters too far in one direction, and they now encompass all of the toxic traits that we hate about toxic male characters.

@@adarateranroldan for me, it started with cultivating patience,. Yeah, he does things that make me want to scream, but I KNOW I make him want to scream from time to time, so maybe I should lighten up and get over myself. The other thing was -- and this sounds so cliche -- was communication. I can live with being called a raging *itch if you at least tell me why, and give me a chance to resolve it. (Note:. Husband never calls me a *itch, because my usual response is, "Yeah. So?") ETA:. Forgot a biggie. I'm not right all the time. He's right, too (sometimes). Anytime I start to forget that, he has a one-word smackdown: "Pittsburgh.". (I was driving to Pittsburgh one time, and if it were not for one of his more annoying pedantic habits, and the squabble he won regarding it, I'd STILL be trying to find that stupid city!)

The guy made Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves watchable.

Oh that so cool (not the near death but the overall of how the movie came to be)

Alexander Godunov was a BALLER. And a super-sweet guy, apparently.

And then there's Schwarzenegger's 'Commando,' where his kidnapped daughter is in the process of escaping from the bad guys' stronghold by the time he shows up and the female lead stuns Schwarzenegger's character by figuring out how to work the bazooka by "reading the instructions." (Schwarzenegger's face in that scene just *screams,* "there are instructions?")

Great point!!

Not really sure of her positive characteristics or why John even likes her. The movie doesn't indicate she's a good mother. She's argumentative and selfish. What she really brings to the table of the relationship isn't really explored well in this movie. I guess she can provide a big house with her salary and a place for a protector willing to break every bone to save 30 civilians? She also cares about people enough to risk her life when she's promoted to the leadership position? True - she's shown to be argumentative and a risk taker - and she wasn't doing this naturally before the boss was killed. She even tried to encourage the boss to hide who he was initially.

@@denierlexiese She was trying to protect her boss. It wouldn't exactly be great to *encourage* someone to risk his life.

When in a hostage situation, it is a very bad idea to take a leadership role or to draw attention to yourself in any way. Now, you can take that hit for others, but it will reduce the chances YOU make it out alive. Especially when the hostage takers look for someone to hurt.

I'm not much on gung-ho action heroes, so Die Hard was a very pleasant surprise; he's the first leading man I've seen who gets really hurt and doesn't brush it off as "just a scratch"; he gets afraid and shows it; no stiff-upper-lip stoicism; no brooding Manliness. He's a normal person in an abnormal situation.

@@franl155 Honestly... I wish they'd make another action movie like that. But I doubt it'd make it through all the studio interference.

​ @Tzisorey Tigerwuf - the suits would water it down so much that it'd be completely wishy-washy: it'd have to tick all the "inclusive" boxes and bring in characters whose only reason to be in the film would be to tick that particular box. In any case, trying to remake a classic never works: have you seen the "new improved" Wicker Man or Italian Job? They should have learned by now that it's almost impossible to improve on the original unless the original was very, very bad.

@@franl155 I'm firmly convinced that "remake" movies aren't about improving anything - they're just about extending the copyright.

Didn't it come out in the summer, though?

@@julietardos5044 It did. But if I create something, I get the rights to say what that thing is. The producer and writer call it a Christmas movie, it has holiday themes, therefore it is an action Christmas movie.

@@julietardos5044 Also, there are movies that are Christmas movies that were released in summer. Miracle of 34th St was released in June. So, the date of release does not a Christmas movie make.

@@creakimoi2958 Oh, yeah, totally. I wasn't saying it wasn't a Christmas movie, just that it didn't come out at Christmas time.

@@julietardos5044 What I meant by saying "set this blockbuster at Christmas" was that they put the time and setting at Christmas, in case that was the confusion. But a movie released in July can very well be a Christmas movie. And as there are movies that have been released in July and are Christmas movies, there's no real need to point out when it was released...

I loved when they did that. It was so hilarious.

@sapphire Thank you so much for sharing this, it really is helpful and very inspiring!

Yup! Because you hoarded to feel “in control” when you didn’t feel in control of your life… Your mom pressuring you to throw it all away made you panic & feel even less in control… But when she stopped pressuring you & told you to “just clean it up”, she gave you the power & control to make your own decisions! That’s wonderful!

My Dad is an a hoarder and I am the opposite, so that example is so heartening.

I’m becoming a hoarder in my old age and these comments have shed light on a better path....Thankyou so much!

Hmmm, I wonder if this would work on my mom. She’s not an extreme hoarder, but I repeatedly clean things up and make room, (bc she asks me too and bc our apartment is very small), but then she over and over and OVER again, refills the space with things she doesn’t need.

Honestly i think the review should be for all three movies, idk i just feel like there’s a lot more to their relationships that’s explored in the other movies. but i agree

I think there are many things to pick apart in this trilogy, it is one of my favorite things of all time I’d be ecstatic to see them at least do one video💕

Stay tuned. Coming in 2021!

Agreed. Stoick gets a really bad rap in the fandom, which is just heartbreaking to me because Stoick reminds me so much of my own dad. Stubborn, most emotions come out looking like anger, loud, a bit clueless on the whole 'parenting' thing but really *really* wants to get it right, *stubborn* ... Stoick's *not* abusive or even nearly as disappointed as Hiccup thinks, he has no idea how to deal with Hiccup. He's a single parent, too! Just imagine being chief of a viking village. You're mayor, sheriff, judge, priest, and general all rolled into one. Now imagine trying to raise a kid *on your own* while doing all that. And making sure the village survives semi-regular dragon attacks. And making sure your son survives semi-regular dragon attacks. And making sure the village survives *your son.* My dad and I are pretty lucky in that we share a lot of the same interests and we have Mom to moderate for us when we butt heads. Hiccup and Stoick don't have that. A neat parallel between my life and Hiccup's life is when I told Dad that I thought Shakespeare was boring. Dad kinda flipped out, took me up to his library, shoved this *tome* at me, and told me to read it. The complete works of Shakespeare in one book. Binding over a foot long. Onion-skin paper. A week later, he asked me how it was going and I hesitantly admitted that I had almost gotten through the first page, which was mainly just a character list. Dad nearly went nuclear before Mom pulled him back and reminded him that I was *fourteen* and *not him.* Then proceeded to explain how bad public school was at introducing classics to kids and suggested starting with an abridged version. That's basically Stoick shoving a clearly over-sized axe into Hiccup's arms and telling the kid to fight dragons without first teaching him the basics of handling weapons. Only there's no Mom there to pull Stoick aside and give him a reality check. Has anyone even *tried* teaching Hiccup how to fight before the first movie? I get the distinct impression that most of his clumsiness is more nerves and trying to do things right-handed than anything else. I also suspect that people wouldn't be so harsh on him for being 'weak' (which he most definitely isn't for someone his size) if his dad wasn't the biggest, strongest viking around.

Especially the entire fat Thor sequence. I thought the depression came across as real as the denial and I thought it was awesome that they didn't buff him up again for the final scene. but like the parent post said... the entire arc from the first movie.

@@CinemaTherapyShow Didn't work out I guess?

*ACTION BREAK!* 😁

It explains why Kevin is a jerk to the pizza guy.

I have a few theories. 1. None of it is real, it's all Kevin's playful imagination/dreaming. He's dreaming about empowerment and personal agency. 2. Kevin is a Psychopath, and that's because of, or perhaps why his family behaves as they do. They are all distant and emotionally uninvolved. 3. Kevin is actually Deadpool's Wade Wilson as a child. His "villains" are nearly indestructible, his "antics" are like a road runner cartoon, and he talks to the camera, breaking the 4th wall.

It certainly explains why he's so happy they disappeared.

I never liked this film. I remember all the kids around me feeling empowered by it and I just felt terribly sad and scared throughout the movie. I couldn't even laugh about the pain of the bad guys, because I found Kevin so much more dangerous than them. I also thought he was really stupid for not asking for help from anyone.

@@helgaioannidis9365 Before he died John Hughes was planning on making a Home Alone horror film with Macaulay Culkin back as an adult Kevin who'd become a psychopath after seeing how much he could get away with with traps like the ones he made for Harry and Marv in the 1st 2 films. He'd have probably started by torturing and killing his family and if he'd repeated the "I made my family disappear" line from the original it would have been much darker. He'd have killed Harry and Marv after that I reckon.

@@laurenwiley814 intriguing!

I love TPB. I've seen it many times. But Wesley and Buttercup barely know each other. Plus, he threatens to hit her. In the book, he actually does hit her. And she completely exemplifies the damsel in distress, never helping herself or the group (in the movie--in the book she helps the group once). I think it's the one-liners that make this movie so great. And the fencing, of course.

@@julietardos5044 It's true that Westley and Buttercup barely knew each other on a personal level but the only reason Buttercup says she loves Westley is when she gets jealous of The Count's handmaid. And you also have to keep in mind that the book was written in the 70s so it's not going to be the most progressive thing ever. But we can both agree that the movie is great even if lots of things are unrealistic; that's the fun of it.

@@lkf8799 YES! I’ve watched those vids already and they’re super interesting! I love to see content regarding that movie though (mainly bc like I mentioned it’s been around for so long and yet these characters are still just as complex and interesting), so if these guys were up to it I think an analysis from them would be great

YES PLEASE THAT WOULD BE GREAT

YES!!!!! Great movie (except for Claire going for the guy who abuses her).

YES

There's a lot of good stuff in the Hunger Games! Definitely on our list.

@@CinemaTherapyShow This may be an unpopular opinion, but I found the relationship dynamic in that series even more uncomfortable than Twilight. This is especially clear in the book while the movie compensates by making her time with the hunter slightly more dramatized. She seems to have no clear romantic attachment to the hunter despite this. Her flashbacks and even actions with the baker seem to instead emphasize that relationship instead. The ending of course reveals that she had been stringing the baker and his real feelings all along for the sake of both of them surviving in an otherwise impossible situation, by building a false narrative and forcing the show with public opinion. The only conclusion that makes sense to me is that she was biding her time with the Hunter. She knew that he viewed her as family and not in a romantic light (yet). And that is what defines Katniss to me. She is patient and manipulative. She is held up as this icon of female strength, but she is willing to go beyond morals for the sake of survival and protecting those she deems important. It’s an intelligent and almost cold-blooded perspective. The book and movie do not hide events that reveal her psychological state, but they also never truly take off the rose coloured glasses. I have to wonder... who is Katniss really once the hero vaneer is peeled away? What is healthy or unhealthy about these relationships? My favorite character was of course Rue. I think ultimately Katniss would have killed either Rue or the baker or both if Rue had not died early if they were a real stumbling block to her survival. Her risks are just... so calculated. Looking forward to your take on hunger games one day regardless!

@@AnonymousPiLover I like that you know Rue's name but not Gale's or Peeta's. They're just The Hunter and The Baker. It's great.

@@AnonymousPiLover 'the ending reveales' i presume we've watched the same Hunger Games so I don't know how you could say that bc it was super obvious she faked her love for Peeta. I mean, he confessed his love and she threatened him

@@thatcoffee Agreed, Fleabag is soooo good. And her tendency to self sabotage was something I related to far more than I am comfortable with (even if I don't do so in quite the same way 😅). But every character is a beautiful mess in desperate need of some therapy so the show could provide tons of excellent content for analysis. Pus it's really short, with just 12 episodes over 2 series, each less than half an hour long; it can basically be watched as a couple of movies

@@alexiane250 omg yasss

yes PLEASE

Honestly there's so much to unpack with each character! Iroh lost his child and tried to fix it by taking in his nephew as a surrogate. Zuko suffered all kinds of abuse and trauma and slowly heals over time thanks to his surrogate father and newfound friends (AND ACTUALLY CALLS HIS DAD OUT ON IT FOR ONCE). Azula was abused and traumatized too, but she went in the complete opposite direction and ended up psychotic. Sokka and Katara both went through traumatic loss and experienced/dealt with it differently. Sokka had a lovely development from sexist jerk to chugging Respect Women Juice for breakfast on the daily. Haru grew a mustache. Toph dealt with a disability, neglectful/emotionally distant parents, and Teenage Rebellion. Aang had to deal with way too much responsibility all at once when he should have been a 12-year-old kid, and he had to find a solution to the world's biggest problem ever while also not losing his own values. It talks about the consequences of war, imperialism, propaganda, etc. There's even a whole episode dealing with animal abuse. Honestly, Alan and Jonathan should do a miniseries.

Oh yeah, I totally cried in that one. Great sibling relationship

Yess! So good

I hated the ending. So sad the brother who has zero memories has an older brother who wouldn't tell him to go ahead. I'm an eldest child and so is my husband and we jut didn't get the logic. We would never.

@@TahtahmesDiary Oh wow! I never thought of it that way. I thought it was good of the younger brother to do because he DOES have a father figure in his life, his older brother. While the older brother had a father figure that was taken from him too soon. I thought the elder brother getting to have one last talk with Dad was more important and more impactful than the younger brother who has no memories of this man and isn't lacking in a father figure already (at least not as much as his older brother is lacking a father figure.)
