i love the lion king

Wonderful episode, great job guys!

Star Wars is fine, there's just awfully lot of this disney wars fanfiction around I didnt think TFA was good, had significant flaws but I was hopeful what they were going to do with Luke Sadly he was never featured, only had Jake Skywalker Thats when I startes to mentally separate Star Wars and disney wars Only thing disney has made that has easily gotten through the barrier is Andor How an ok chatracter from an ok film gets the best piece of live action Star Wars since the OT is beyond me

Darker side of witholding information is because they want to feel clever by subverting expectations Where you give the audience 2 then another 2 but then reveal the anwser was actually C No you aren't clever because audiences didn't guess that where outside of the movies theres context that makes the anwser C or the context ia given after the reveal

Tenet gave me several brain aneurisms. Each time i caught up with the plot, i lost it again.

I am glad I found this channel❤

just apply "a day in life" properly and don't use verbal exposition unless its really really necessary

Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Two iconic trilogies and both have simplistic stories. I hate when stories are convoluted because the author is trying to be so smart or poetic. If I don't know what's going on, or who characters are, then I lose interest. Jurassic Park, Jaws, Finding Nemo, The Revenant, etc. All are simple, yet powerful, films.

This is dumb. 1.don’t be clever 2.use exposition 3.treat your audience like toddlers Dude. Maybe your just not very smart

🤓

It's easy to over simplify good storytelling with a single word. To give a counter example, you don't know how Vito knows Tattaglia is a pimp - it's very important to the story, but it's intentionally passed over. You also aren't told why a high schooler is best friends with a disgraced nuclear physicist. Cohen bro stuff has a strong focus on intentional ambiguity. Good vs bad writing is more subtle than just being clear.

The goal is for everyone to have fun not just you

I know what they’re missing… God

He made me reject star wars and give the bule ray to the charity shop

Please bud light Disney can we please have our star wars back

The puppy in John Wick Chapter 1 is a Macguffin. No puppy, no movie. Maybe a new kind of Macguffin, but a Macguffin nonetheless.

Wasn't McGuffin that TV family adventure show from the '90s starring that guy from StarGate? 🤔😜

A MacGuffin is a McMuffin, but one that's been dropped on the floor in the back prep room. Then you have to bend down real quick and pick it up and put it in the bag before the manager sees you. It's the object you the main character are after, but the bad guy your manager is after also, to write you up.

I like to think that all McGuffins are the same thing so I saw the prequal to Castaway where the contents of the package he delivers at the end is actually the thing that glows in the briefcase in Pulp fiction. Certainly makes for some surreal story lines!

I'm willing to bet that whatever happens to youtube, the internet or the Star Wars youtubers, this video will be remembered as the one that started it all, whether they still get your message or not after many years.

Great video. The type of video the fandom needs.

Star Wars won’t die as long as people are, continue to be, or become fans of what George Lucas created. The question is whether or not the next generation of fans will be willing or able to uphold the ideals that he brought forth.

DISNEY Star Wars is dead

I had forgotten to watch this one but better late than never. Great video!

It makes me think of what a friend was telling me regarding superhero movies. There's a common argument that superhero movies are played out, and nobody wants superheroes anymore. But that's not really true. They don't want bad (or mediocre) superhero movies. As for Star Wars specifically, I'm frustrated at how something that used to bring so many people together has become a point of such contention. That honestly makes me sad. So I try to focus more on enjoying the parts I liked, than picking arguments about the rest.

I’m so glad someone can finally talk about Star Wars without screaming about woke whatever’s. Just an adult talk with a cool head.

The lesson here is Hollywood will almost ALWAYS take a good thing and run it into the ground, if not for greed for reasons far more idiotic.

'Star Wars is in an intellectual disability-induced coma' doesn't have the same ring to it

Disney is only making garbage fake fan fiction that they view as canon when its just trash

It's kind of like that Sophocles quote. You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.

Would it be more accurate to say that it's not star wars that's dead but modern movies aren't doing the original justice?

👍👍👍❤❤❤

Deadpool was after a MacGuffin one time with Spider-Man.

This train of logic can apply in so many different ways. I won't name any names, but there's been a number of occasions where I watch something, and the moral is just blatantly explained through expository dialogue. It's one thing for a character to have an important realization, but it's another thing entirely for said character to make a whole speech about doing the right thing and have everyone else just go along with it. This destroys any sense of intrigue most of the time. When someone will just blatantly explain to the audience what they want them to take away, the magic is lost. A viewer should be able to figure out the purpose on their own merits. Of course, there are exceptions to this. Confrontations are a great way to handle tough situations that need a lot of dialogue. And in the case of a TV pilot, there's only so much you can do since you have to establish the world and its characters. But most of the time, it's certainly best to avoid falling into this trap.

These videos have begun to change the way I've watched movies; in a good way

Egg MacGuffin... mmm

Wayyyyy too excited about macguffins here.

Abrams doesn’t use McGuffins he’s just a terrible writer that makes things up to get out of a corners he wrote himself into and calls it a “mystery box.” Studio execs finally have him figured out and don’t throw money at him anymore. The true McGuffin is the Hitchcock one, an object that gets the action going and is irrelevant, the suitcase in Pulp Fiction, the Falcon in Maltese Falcon etc.

Maybe the MacGuffin was the friends we made along the way.

The stolen money in Psycho is my favourite example.

This is all very wrong. A macguffin is a plot device that just arbitrarily keeps the story moving forward. Its the key they find that solves the problem the writer couldn't write out in a meaningful way. 100% wrong. Definition of Macguffin: an object, event, or character in a film or story that serves to set and keep the plot in motion despite usually lacking intrinsic importance. Its something NOT important to the story. So when the characters get out of a situation or advance the plot and it feels cheap, it was probably because they found a macguffin that let them advance in the plot.

I absolutely hate JJ Abram's mystery box writing. It's lazy, shows contempt for his audience and absolutely wastes his audience's patience.

the orb from Venture Bros is one of my fave maguffins

Your an absolute legend for using clips from the original version 🫡

The sold that at McDummies.

Movie - Ronin. The Silver case, the whole movie is about stealing the case for what is in it. However, that is only a ploy to get to the real purpose of the movie.

4:10 I have always wondered, If the Ark of the Covenant made an army indestructible as stated in Indiana Jones {and incidentally the Old Testament}, how did the Israelites lose it to an invading army? I would think anything that made an army unbeatable would be right up in the front line of defense.?

Ronin. Where does the damned ice skates case fall? The one nobody knows what's in until now.
