Funny, considering that the screenwriter of BvS also wrote the last Star Wars movie.

@@michaelstrong5383 Same guy also wrote the screenplay for Argo and won an Oscar for it. It’s pretty much the one film he wrote that’s actually decent.

Even though BVS is another “not a movie” and “not art”. I don’t really see why it’d affect his standards like this, and yet it has

xD god damn

Eh i rather watch Batman v Superman on mute for the nice visuals instead of any Star Wars 🤷‍♂️

Adum should honestly play Lego Star Wars on stream. I wanna see him call it a dumb baby game every minute and trigger a bunch of fans.

@@carter_lovejoyI’d love to see that, and I loved the shit out of those games.

The newest Lego Star Wars game was so good

“Lego Start Wars”

@@carter_lovejoyThat would be hilarious!

He’s definitely more of a Star Trek guy.

​@@carter_lovejoyhe's gotta check out Rebel Moon.

Do you have any proof backing up such a claim? Not once did I get this feeling throughout the whole video.

aAdum is a Star wars hater? Must be a Star wars fan

@@Todarain Could be secretly a Trekkie.

​@@bruksphantomI've always suspected he is

Not really

No, they suck the franchise off.

Poor Zacky-poo, he don need this

😂😂😂

Long live RedLetterMedia!

The “anti-woke” crowd made it even more worse since The Last Jedi came out and they still pretty much complain about that movie to this very day.

⁠@@carter_lovejoy The only thing worse is the anti-“anti-woke” crowd that is supporting a horrible corporation by defending shit movies just to own the chuds.

I love star wars too but I completely agree with your statement, they’re insufferable.

@@carter_lovejoyWDYM the “anti-woke crowd” dude, it sucks, it’s barely better than Skywalker.

@@MT-iw6slIt’s fine to dislike that movie (I just hate Disney in general so I welcome hatred towards them) but at some point you have to move on from it. We all know those hillbillies who complain about The Last Jedi for 7 hours straight if you mention its name.

And with what RalphtheMovie posted today is ironic

NGL, that feeling is *exactly* why I watched CinemaSins for years. It was like "finally! I'm not mad, someone else has recognized the shittiness too!" And before you claim they don't actually criticize anything substantial, I just recently re-watched the Honest Trailer, HISHE, Pitch Meeting and CinemaSins for "Prometheus": the criticisms were damn near *identical*. People just don't like CinemaSins because they got popular tearing apart everyone's favorite movies.

Chad move

Adum should do a watch-along for that around Christmastime later this year. There’s uploads of the full thing on KZfaq and they haven’t been copyright struck (yet). I guess that’s because Lucas, Lucasfilm and Disney don’t care and don’t want anything to do with it. It’s pretty much public domain at this point. Edit: Wait, never mind! He did watch it. I would’ve honestly saved it for Christmas though.

​@@carter_lovejoyHe should watch it with the original commercials that aired with it, like what Rifftrax did. It's an experience.

@@carter_lovejoy would’ve saved it for being more sober as well

STIR, WHIP, STIR, WHIP, WHIP WHIP STIR

Only Star Wars fans hate the Star Wars series, them and Trekkies. Everyone else either gobbles it up or ignores it

And so are the fans. Bullying the CHILD actors and s%€*

I do like some of the old eu stories

@@thejedisonic67I like the OG trilogy and the memes from the prequels, other wise I’m 100% indifferent. Mandos okay sometimes, Hayden was decent in obi wan and it was nice to see him play the character with a director. But, I couldn’t GENUINELY care either way lol

Yeah, it really is. Just nonsense

That movie is forgettable that as soon as he said "There was a tf in it" I had to sit here and try to remember who the fuck was tf'ing in Wonder Woman 2. I literally didn't remember Cheetah girl until I read your comment.

fair point honestly

The Lion King didn't create a massive shift in how the movie industry produces and advertises movies.

@@hexcodeff6624 It helped create Disney into being a multi billion dollar abomination company, so it counts. Lets not forget what was remade into the highest grossing animated film in the world

@@thejedisonic67 So? It made a lot of money, that's it? You'd have to dismiss basically any movie distributed by one of the big studios because they make money for the soy machines.

Nah, Adum should give 1/10 ratings for all the live action Disney remakes.

Adum could return the favour and recommend the human centipede trilogy

I don't get the hype with the Marvel movies a few years back. In fact I still wonder why Adum thought they're good. I fully expect him to snap and call them shit.

The DCEU reminded him of thr Star Wars franchise and he basically wondered why people don't see the two as the same

@@Maxisamo1 Lucas admits that Star Wars is a film for 12 year olds, Snyder thinks he's making compelling movies for adults lol

how is he a contrarian? Star wars is one of the most mediocre big franchises out there, it has like 2 good movies and the rest are either mediocre or garbage

@@inigo137 When someone opposes or rejects the popular opinion for a given subject, they're a contrarion. Doesn't matter if someone considers Adum's take to be good (being a contrarion does not mean having a bad take), saying all of Star Wars is cancer (even the OT) is contrarion.

Even you just said the series has like 2 good movies. The only reason he’s ranting in the first place is because pop culture as a whole has the franchise on a pedestal and he doesn’t agree. So instead of rating the movies on their own merits, he’s giving them all 1/10 as an act of defiance. THATS BEING CONTRARIAN!

@@Riptide27 alright alright but the franchise is below mediocre, I just wanted to say that, lol

we where indeed the most contrary

i dont think its that people dont like that he hates star wars but he doesnt really explain why he hates it. He just says they were bad movies just cause he said so i guess?

My problem is moreseo that he's sworn of the franchise entirely when there are genuinely great pieces of art that stem from it. Andor is a great thing that was borne from the Star Wars property and I think he's discounting an incredible piece of media just because it's attached to a franchise he despises.

@@arkanamaster4961 Adam briefly mentioned on the Sardonicast episode about the prequels that he grew up around people who unironically raved about the prequels as they were being released. It's clear that Adam was surrounded by people who blindly worshipped anything to do with Star Wars. I'm guessing that they tried to evangelize him to the Star Wars fandom. But there are studies which demonstrate that people usually become resistant when you try to force an opinion upon them. So my guess is that Adam never really gave Star Wars a fair chance, and watched the movies with an ultra-critical mindset, because he didn't want to have any association with the Star Wars fanatics. It reminds me of how some people automatically hate anime just because people who are obsessed with anime can be kind of annoying. Same thing with the KZfaqr Dream. Dream himself is pretty inoffensive, but his fanbase can be toxic.

@@youtubeviolatedme7123 very fair but it is very sad he has that mind set unfortunately but it is what it is

he talks a little about it in sardonicast episode 158 at around 2:04:30 he doesn't really have much exposure to it.

A New Hope is definitely my favorite Star Wars film, even though I absolutely love The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as well

"as I get older I am moving towards being an A New Hope purist." Absolutely based.

Hero

@@BugVlogs I love them all, and I'll always argue with someone who is trying to say that Jedi is even close to bad. ANH is just so magical all by itself, and as I get older I think making Leia and Luke siblings is just an unnecessary choice. It makes things weird and ignores that she has a pretty compelling backstory without him.

Yeah it really should've been Close Encounters back then in 77 getting all the hype and becoming this huge pop cultural special effects icon instead of SW. Spielberg >> Lucas

Yep. Very much so. Idk if I would ever revisit that pile of shit at any point in my life.

Seriously! Only about a third of the MCU movies are actually worth the rewatch outside of "muh nostalgia." And even those worth the rewatch are like a 6/10 at best.

I think its okay for him to hate it but instead of rating the movies on their own merits, he’s giving them all 1/10 as an act of 'defiance' which is a biiiiiiiiiiit cringe. If my friend did that for a franchise id call them an idiot. Dont dislike him for it or anything though who cares.

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?

That's the problem, though. He doesn't dislike the movies themselves as much as he dislikes the fanbase. And we don't usually associate the fanbase as a legitimate aspect of the movie when trying to grade a movie fairly. Since 2015 I've been loathing the people who unironically enjoy The Force Awakens, but I've never let that influence my opinion on the movie itself. I would never give The Force Awakens a 1/10 just because I think its fans have zero taste. Edit: It's probably a 4/10 or 5/10 for me, in case you were wondering.

At least George Lucas doesn't have a stick up his arse against trans women.

As someone who couldn't escape the cultural phenomena during my pipsqueak days, completely echo your sentiment. From the get go, school settings & goober characters were a no-no for me.

@@sjoerddondersteen1337 Saaaaaame. I was a voracious reader as a kid but I couldn’t finish one of those books because they were so simplistic in their writing and awkwardly structured as stories, like bad Agatha Christie drizzled with fairy tale stuff and “school story” tropes. Yet I ameliorated and hid those opinions for years because “HARRY POTTER IS GETTING KIDS TO READ. WHAT, DO YOU HATE LITERACY?!”

Dune was an inspiration for SW…

​@@ringbearer1420terrible point. Madame Web (2024) director S.J. Clarkson has cited several films as visual inspiration for the movie, including 2046 and In the Mood for Love by Wong Kar-wai, and Don't Look Now by Nicholas Roeg. Dakota Johnson, who stars in the film, also cites Edge of Tomorrow by Tom Cruise

i get your point but if your talking about the movies that came out in the past few years its fair to compare its direction to star wars, even if the source material came out prior. The comparisons to the OG trilogy ends at space, desert, and maybe spice tho its never really a thing in the ogs and instead something made by fan fic writers down the line. To say Anakin's arc is anything like Paul's is just ignorance of simple story telling.

He’s right. As someone who’s read the Dune novel before the movies came out, it definitely felt like Denis Villeneuve was trying to combine elements of Dune and Star Wars to make the films more accessible to modern audiences. Frank Herbert’s Dune is very philosophical and can be meandering at times (not saying that’s a bad thing). The movies place a lot more emphasis on the action and visual spectacle of the world, which is unfortunately the only way to get through to a post-star wars audience

Some of them silent comedy Charlie Chaplin movies had genuinely good visual gags.

Feel free to listen to the video again and fix your comment because "people ONLY give 1920s movies 10s because _____" is not at all what I said.

@@YMS my initial comment was probably a bit too harsh. I do agree you didn't say it was the only reason. I think I get that your point is that you shouldn't have to rate something you don't like positively because of the culture around it and I completely understand that.

In my opinion, YMS’s opinions suck 😊

​@@thewickerman5121perfectly ok

Except the ratings are a sham and he only did it because he was under the influence of a substance. From 6/10’s and 7/10’s to all 1/10’s is not legit he is not being deadass.

Except they are not legit scores for the quality of the movie. He was just under the influence of a substance. It was said by himself there was 0 rewatch to actually make those scores valid. This is an embarrassing L on YMS’ behalf.

@@spencerlane415 it really doesn't matter. He's never liked them. It's not his thing. It's not like you go to Adam for his star wars opinions anyways

gaped his crops and pillaged his lion husband

There’s no reason to talk about it

It's the best SW ever because it's not tonally inconsistent hero's journey adventure fairy tale action fantasy but dystopian action spy thriller. Kind of the GoT (S 1-4) of SW

@@auriculus3058 It's the best Star Wars because it's not like Star Wars? That seems convoluted to me. Andor is good, but it's not that good.

@@EmptyCup Yes although that seems contradictory, that's what I mean. It's the best SW for me not because of being the best iteration of what the OT was, but because it's different in genre and tone, finally a breath of fresh air. SW never really was my thing because of the discrepancy between the extensive threat the empire should represent and the many undermining, light hearted, comedy moments. ESB and RO are the least guilty of that because they take the threat seriously and that's also a big reason why ESB is considered the best one. Andor does that too and even more consequent than ESB and RO. So it's more like how I always wanted Star Wars to be. I also don't think it's a masterpiece, I'm just very happy that there finally also is a SW for me

And to top it off, he’s drunk so…

I find even the 2nd movie overrated. It would be nothing without the build-up/nostalgia from the 1st. Also Lucas himself didn't direct it so he implied he didn't give a shit about it.

Starwars dorks and destiny stans are fuming. Fuck star wars. (It's really not that serious, who cares lol).

There was no meltdown though.

Mostly bad.

I agree but Adum would still be mostly bored by it probably.

Kotor 2. He would probably say it's too boring or something, because it's not as engaging as Cache.

It could be the greatest thing ever made but at this point it would be a waste of time for him to watch it

Honestly he thinks most decent media boring. It's not his type of thing tho, and just having it be attached to the star wars brand will just sour it more for him. I agree he should ignore most star wars stuff, I like some of them but if they're not his type of thing then he's not going to change his mind. He doesn't strike me as that type.

Slay! You are a strong independent commenter who don't need no mod.

He hates 4/5 of them. The only one he likes is Temple of Doom.

star wars movies are the worst thing since my son
