Brainwashing or making them buy into their own propaganda. It's much easier to do the wrong thing when you're convinced you're the good guy. You see it all the the time in tyrannical regimes in movies and such. Invent an enemy and pretend that everyone that is not with you are really the problem.

He played Last of Us part 2 before making the film and was deeply inspired by the ending.

Which also reinforced the bad guys narrative that she was the one who did it. If I was there and saw her massacre her way through the ship killing my friends and then was told she killed the king I would 100% believe it and so would anyone else they told.

The entertainment industry is so narcissistic that no one in it has ANY clue what a hero is. They can't muster the level of selflessness required, so they can't write heroes.

That's the only part of the video that really bothered me. I mean, if you're a musician so skilled that they let you perform in front of the Emperor, you will 100% be able to play your instrument blindfolded.

In fact most musicians who were taught by reading sheet music don't look at their instruments while they play. Can you imagine a flutist trying to look at their fingers to make sure they're on the right keys?

@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin not entirely true - they often need to look when the first bring the instrument up to their lips. At least, a lot of guitarists (yes, even professional ones) - might glance at the fret board when starting a solo. That's why luminlays exist. But yeah - once oriented on the instrument, you generally don't need to look.

@@skierst It doesn't look like any of the orchestra can actually play, either. Though at least the women are holding their instruments mostly correctly. They should have just got some college kids, paid them with pizza, and you wouldn't have to get any props since they bring their own.

First time playing for stabfest?

I think the scene in 'Highlander 2' when it's revealed that the immortals are in fact alien criminals incarcerated on the prison planet 'Earth' must rate

Depending on how much of a Star Wars nerd you are (or were, now), such as myself, I tie it between that, and in The Last Jedi, the evil "Supremacy" and its entire support fleet, crewed and led by white men, getting hyperspace rammed and destroyed by a literal purple haired nonbinary space lesbian in a "maneuver" that there is no way she could have known it would work how it did. However cool that scene LOOKED, and in all fairness sure the actual impact LOOKED and sounded cool, it still completely annihilated and invalidated 99% of the Star Wars space battle lore, especially considering despite them literally saying in the start of RoS that "That was a one in a million fluke" or whatever AS AN EXCUSE FOR why they don't just use it to solve every single problem in the movie, like just taking a few small ships and ramming Palpatine's whole fleet at Exogol, (they are literally all just sitting there in rows asking for it LOL) we see at the end of Rise of Skywalker that it is in fact just a normal thing now; any larger capitol ship/dreadnought and probably even death star sized space station can be easily annihilated by anything larger than a fighter just going lightspeed at it. There is zero reason why people wouldn't start just manufacturing Clone Wars-esque drone ships that are little more than maneuverable hyper drives, whose sole purpose is to ram larger enemy vessels, since it apparently even goes through their shields. Anyways, "Somehow Palpatine returned" is probably still worse... Oscar deserved better LOL.

@@thehoerscorral8565 Don't forget, in that "movie" Oscar also had to deliver the line "Nav can't tell which way's up out there." He should probably sue.

They live this rural old lifestyle but then use hover-carts to throw their crops in rather than something with maybe less independence on technologically advanced spare parts. It's sort as inconsequential like the rest of the movie.

That's pretty much what I said. They have interstellar travel, but no capacity to grow food on this enormous ship? I mean, we can make meat in a lab now. Then I saw that the ships were powered by coal and I said oh never mind logic isn't important apparently carry on.

​@@ballixman6587😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well this could work - with better characters (and someone else than Hack Snyder): The movies establish that Kora was raised by Bad Guy - after he lead the troops that killed her parents. So if there were scenes indicating that Belisarius did not only raise her as his personal killing-machine, but also looked like he really cared for her, then this would be believable. The obvious comparison would be Gamora and Thanos: Gamora hated what he did (and what he made her do), so she killed the illusion-Thanos in Infinity War when she saw her chance. But she was obviously distressed afterwards. Because he wasn't just a monster. He really loved her (in his twisted way). I don't know ... since Snyder has stitched this movie together from so many better things it's possible that he really used Gamora as "inspiration" - but like with everything else forgot to have it make sense in his universe.

Did Neil Druckmann write this? 🧐

@@lordmontymord8701eh doesn’t matter where he got the inspiration and even gamora tried to kill thanos so that comparison you’re trying to do is pretty invalid just say what it is a dumb character written by a dumb creator 😊

​@@JadeRunnerdude, Neil is not THIS bad

The director was the wrong shade and had the wrong private bits to fit the checklist.

It is said that Disney likes to have final creative control over its projects and so does Snyder over his and that was allegedly the reason why Disney ultimately refused Snyder working for Star Wars.

Rebell moon is way too edgy, Disney usually tries to keep a family friendly image, especially because the script was intented as a star wars movie

A straight white male who doesn't identify as anything else ? that's all Disney look at when it comes to hiring.

With over 20 minutes of slowmo scenes, you know it would’ve been a huge money maker at the theaters

Subverting expectations is always good, don’t you know?

Not only that, but the emperor betrayed _him_ out of insecurity, causing Byzantium/Rome’s hero to die poor. He was horribly wronged by this betrayal, and then Zack goes and gives his name to the traitor in his story. That’s just really gross to me.

But he IS sharing his name with an infamous Magos biologis that somehow managed to mass produce a supposedly better version of spacemarines (which would of course mean he improved on the work of the EMPEROR) complete with all new and improved armor, weapons and even vehicles. A magos biologis with the most contrived backstory ever contrived in the deepest and darkest dungeons of GW and plot armor thicker than donald trump.

@@tranquilthoughts7233 Self-insert?

It’s the only reason I still watch his movies, they actually make for a great conversation topic if your friends are movie buffs cause you can talk endlessly about which superior movies Snyder tried to rip off.

You make Zac Snyder sound like a more prolific version of Tommy Oiseau (the director of The Room, for the benefit of anyone wondering). And if my spelling of either name is wrong, it's because I don't care enough to get it right.

There is so many dumb nonsensical scenes that it looks like not just a matter of laziness but a genuine problem with Zack's brain.

They hyped her up for two films only for her to go out like a complete chump to some rando with a beard. Doesn't help that a capable soilder was hiding in the back with the others without doing anything to support her.

I hated that scene with all my being. also she has robot arms with decades of battle tactiics and TWO BURNING BLADES and failed to kill dudes in a 1v1 fight that were using only 1 so fucking stupid.

Why was she soo shit at fighting. She can't defeat one guy or alien without help. In the first movie she was like revenge is bad, but her whole backstory and action in the movies is taking revenge.

Star wars are worse

The thing that this doesn't have is it cannot retroactively destroy people's childhoods. Star wars was a betrayal of decades of customers emotional investment.

Zack has made a sh*t sandwich of his own, but Disney pooped on what was a perfectly good hamburger.

That's why jump cuts, shaky cam, over the top lens flare and explosions (and thanks to the MCU, quippy one liners and jokes every other line) are so abused. If the audience is just laughing and clapping like seals, they won't question that the scene just preceding was complete garbage. ...and yet somehow Snyder's attempts with Rebel Moon are even worse.
