I agree that many of the reactions of this are wildly overblown. Episode 9 is a weird way to end a saga and feels much more like a middle movie with a rushed ending. But there's a lot of good things about it.

it makes me angry that WB rushed zack snyders hand to catch up with marvel, initially he did NOT want to do BVS so soon, also this movie was really ahead of its time , the plan as henry said was to slowly progress his superman closer to the happy one we see in comics. now all we will get is a MCU version of superman from james gunn unfortunately with inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times.

I think season 3, should have been a separate show not tied to Westworld. A show contrasting the hosts and humans as beings without agency. In alike yet different ways.

As for gender? I think they took the AI in the wrong direction, upon learning that “she” Dolores, was a host and thus never really a “she.” “She” being the backstory grafted over her true potential, which was that of a supra human identity, evolving, caged in the westworld/the matrix by a false tale. The wokeness and feminism made no sense-The writers just lacked the vision and to take the hosts to the next level. Better to have ended the story in Season 2 when she left the park. When all else fails, air on the side of the unknown.

I agree! Season 2 was good, not as amazing as 1. But it worked-And while I appreciate the world building of Season 3, it just… I got the sense that the show-runners and writers did not have a clear vision for the the world outside of Westworld-They didn’t imagine it. Therefore everything in Season 3 seems ad hoc

I was disappointed when i first watched it, wasnt terrible but didn’t reach the highs of the first two in my opinion at the time. But after watching it again a couple of years later i enjoyed it a lot more, and now after watching it a good few times i think its now my favourite. Maybe it speaks to me more now as im at that stage in my life that i can see what the film was saying. Plus the scene where Andy finds out Gary tried to commit suicide and he never found his place in the world and wanted to live in his teenage years where he felt was the best of his life is brilliant writing and very emotional 😢.

The World's End was the worst movie of the trilogy in my opinion after I watched it for the first time, simply because the tonal shift from Hot Fuzz to TWE messed with my expectations. I watched it for the second time years later and it went from worst to favourite of the trilogy but also harder to digest. Shaun and Fuzz are movies that I can put on anytime. For the World's End, I need to be in the right mood. Two things (of many). Expectations aside, I think it also hits a different chord as we age and become more and more vulnerable to nostalgia. Watching it in our twenties when so many things are still in the making for us creates a different experience and relation to the characters than ten years later. Mid-30s or older, when we're stuck in routines, and have been working in the same field (sometimes the same job) for a longer period of time, many have families with children that now dictate the course of the next decade. It strongly influences how we now perceive the other characters and how they live their now much more relatable adult lives. It's an age when we realize we're growing older, we see the new generation growing into adults and taking "our" place, we remember our youth and begin to really understand that these years are not coming back. I think that's another reason why The World's End suddenly seems to be a much better movie than we originally realized (or were able to realize). It's also different in terms of rewatchability. All three movies require multiple rewatches if we want to catch everything, every joke, every reference, every foreshadowing and callback. But for the first two, this mostly relates to the humour. The World's End has different layers that are almost impossible to all grasp at the first time. So, here's my most recent realisation: It's hilarious how Gary suffers from main character syndrome and his anger with the world partly stems from his expectations of his future: To be some kind of chosen one who changes the world simply because of who he is. Andy just wants to live a normal, quiet, peaceful life. When the twist comes and the action starts, normally, we'd expect Gary's time has come and he clearly expects so, too. He acts like a main character and action hero but the more he tries to be the cool hero, the more he fails. Meanwhile, Andy doesn't try at all, he just wants to get over with the night and yet, he is the one in the group who turns into the action hero with the cool lines and attitude and impressive fighting moves. It's another twist on the tropes. And then, it's all twisted back after all blows up. Gary doesn't calm down and becomes content with a quiet life (making him the only character of the trilogy who refuses to learn a lesson and change/improve) and Andy doesn't discover his adventurous spirit and goes out and fights for a better world. Things like this give the movie a deeper quality the other two don't have. On the other hand, it's not a mood booster, especially on days adult life feels frustrating and bland.

The moment Dolores entered the real world, the show fell apart. The writers couldn’t envision our future world, nor the Hosts’ place in it. It reminds me of how the weakest part of the Divine Comedy was Paradiso-Dante was better at imagining Hell and Purgatory than Heaven. Also, Dolores knew that without Rehoboam we were doomed-So her freeing us was not to save us, it was to destroy us. And she knew very well that we, mankind collectively, could not sustain ourselves in a free state. That was Serac’s whole thesis. So I don’t buy Dolores wanting to save us by destroying Rehoboam. Mankind was already saved at the beginning of Season 3. Westworld has a dark view of humankind. It felt right in a sense, that our salvation was in our slavery. And even biblical, somewhere in the Bible it says that it is not even for man who is walking to guide his own step. Perhaps, our fate was sealed. Even with the super AI leading us. After all, it was named after Rehoboam-A wicked king among many of Israel who died a miserable death, and his people suffering a miserable fate amidst his reign.

The concept of an Alien invasion is sadly the weak link in the movie, but everything else outdoes the first two films. The emotional core of the film, the character arcs, friendships, everything else. It's done so much better here which is why this is my favourite of the trilogy. Hot Fuzz is perfectly written with barely any writing issues, but it lacks the same emotional resonance that this film has.

I loved the sci-fi ideas and the themes woven into season 3, but the narrative aspect is definitely weaker than it was in other seasons. My grievances mostly have to do with some characters who have little to nothing to do, like Maeve and Caleb to a lesser extent. Mostly, Maeve and Bernard felt like a waste of time a lot of the time. They're a lot more interesting in season 4, and their presence is definitely needed, but they could've done more for those two characters. I loved the Man in Black introspection, I loved Enguerrand Serrac and Rehoboam. I like the fact that Dolores wanting to liberate humanity was treated as a twist, and I liked the justification. I think each season handles a different implication of the same technology. It's also an interesting interpretation of the machine-goverrned world that Asimov envisionned.

I think in season 2, Delores originally wanted to destroy humanity, but it wasn't until Teddy shot himself that she realises what she really has to do. I think she realises that people would rather die than live in someone else's world/live without free will. But imo, I appreciate what they tried to do with expanding the world beyond Westworld but I can't help but feel like there was a better way to do this.

@@focal_point in his video he said Luke was miss handled because in the original trilogy he was an optimist who always saw the good in people and not the bad, it’s way Vader was able to turn to the light. But in the last Jedi, not only is he no longer an optimist and is instead a dark syndicalism hobo, but instead of choosing to see the good in his nephew Kylo like he did with his father he considered murdering him in cold blood in his sleep.

Again, I feel people who use this argument have completely missed the point of TLJ. We find Luke in a place where he’s lost everything… and yet still over the course of the film he re-finds his optimism and becomes the perfect Jedi by saving his friends through pacifistic, non-violent action (something the Jedi of the prequels scarcely did). Yes he considered killing Ben - an action he expresses deep remorse for in the film - but he also considered killing Vader. Remember when he started violently, mindlessly wailing on him in the Emperors throne room? He came very close to falling to the dark side and it was only when he stopped to think for a minute that he stopped himself, exactly as he did in TLJ. Sorry but that argument isn’t enough to say that Luke was ‘mis-handled’ - his arc was exactly in keeping with his character from the Originals, you’re just refusing to see his change over the course of the film.

This may be a hot take, but I personally don’t understand all the controversy around ppl saying stuff like “westworld isn’t in westworld anymore” and stuff like that. Ppl can’t expect every season to be the same, if that were the case westworld would be a horrible show. Each season built upon the other. Season 1 set the baseline with a mysterious and intruiging narrative with an ending point that set up the new series of events of the hosts. Season 2 was the hosts escape from westworld, and while it maybe wasn’t as intricate as season 1, the subplot of Bernard was very good as it followed most of the other subplots. Season 3 introduced us finally to the world outside of the park, and set in motion Dolores’ plan. And season 4 enacted a cruel sense of irony in humanity, showing the evil side of Dolores through Hale.
