i hated the Deamon arc. having sex with his mom... dreaming the whole season.

If you think tech billionaires have to be smart then you are indeed the stupid one

Good breakdown of a bad writing mechanism mate

Daemon should’ve usurped Rhaenyra

"The HOUSE OF THE DRAGON S2 Finale was Disappointing" is the reason why your not getting clicks do smth like my opinion on the hotd ending or smth

Yes the movie is flawed. But the reason it has some strength is in the point that it makes: We normal people think that some rich selfmade tech person must be smart. But actually these people are just randoms that just so happen to be in the right place at the right time. They make it seem like they know things and that they are smart, but actually they are just to stupid to think about their actions twice and by pure luck the actions turned out to be good more often than bad. I think this is a point worth making. Most successful people are stupid. They just don't look stupid because of the surviviors bias.

Ironically this is such a surface level read of glass onion that it misses the point entirely, "why does miles do X" isn't "because he's stupid" its because he takes short sighted impulsive actions that to a normal person would backfire, but obvious don't for him because he's had a life protected by wealth and luxury. And the points you point out are actual some of the moment where miles shows he's not just stupid, just very short sighted and self confident. "why does miles only shoot once?" because his target falls over covered in blood and if he takes the time to ensure they are really dead Blanc will spot him. "why doesn't he kick Blanc from the island/make a fuss about seeing a person he murdered?" because that would reveal him to be guilty instantly, the only reason a person would do such a thing is if they had no self preservation instincts at all. "how does Miles spot elements of a crime scene faster than blanc?" because he's the one who did it and is covering his tracks, and just because blanc doesn't say anything doesn't mean he didn't notice these details. I agree anyone who says "glass onion is dumb and doesn't need to explain itself because its stupid" should stop saying it, because while the film isn't up to par with knives out it still has layers if you look deep enough, the whole point is to judge things not based on hype and reputation because if you do, you'll think tech ceo's have to be geniuses to succeed and that details only exist if they are told point blank to camera.

Wholeheartedly agree. Especially when the first Knives Out was a genius satire that had a coherent plot and competent character writing. Glass Onion absolutely assassinated the credibility of this franchise prematurely for me - especially because audiences and critics validated its style of "satire".

Glass Onion wasn't good as a 'detective' or 'murder mystery'. If Ryan Johnson was trying to do the best murder mystery, he would have just adapted and Agatha Christie novel. Instead I think it's meant to be a deconstruction/parody of the genre. And whilst it may have turned out a bit sloppy, and with a tonne of plot contrivances, it's still a fun ride, that subverts expectations. My biggest issue with modern movies, is the predictability. 10 minutes in, you know the entire narrative. Because of this I'd sacrifice a little character realism, to have a plot that is unpredictable, that can properly build tension, because you really don't know what's coming next. Not that Glass Onion really does this, but it tries to. Knives out did it better imo.

lol Disney/Lucasfilm uses "Canon" to can blow up and rip established lore to sheds. Canon😂

Loki tv series is so much better. they obviously didn't watch it writing this movie.

I didn't get Glass Onion, it was just silly, ridiculous in fact.

I think the focus on the word "stupid" is a bit misaligned. Miles is not a drooling idiot. The idea is that Blanc calls him dumb because he's used to super complicated and intriguing cases, and he calls the situation dumb because he had to deal with someone who is super straightforward and makes short-sighted, simple decisions that happen to work out in his favor. After all, everyone assumes he is smart when all his success is always because of someone else. I like that it makes us question the tendency to assume the competence of successful people, which leads to a vicious circle of affirming this competence. I don't like your assumption that becoming a tech giant requires competence, that's the whole point of this story. He has stolen and manipulated his way into success. I also don't agree with the assumption that the writing is bad because by creating chaotic characters it leaves no clear idea of what would make a better or worse version of the movie. Why does there have to be a 'good' or 'bad' version of the movie? There are answers to most questions you raise about Miles as well: 1. Why didn't he shoot more than once? - I jot this down to a film-making. He is not a sharpshooter, and probably barely knows how to hold a gun. The film could have shown him shoot more than once, but miss the other shots. Also it's very clear that he did not want to be spotted being shot by anyone, and had to show up in time with the rest of the group. 2. Why did he not reject Blanc and Andi from showing up to the island? - And waste the opportunity to secure the kill on a secluded island without law enforcement getting involved. Which he attempts to do. It is the most obvious thing This is why I think the "stupid" word is not what should be focussed on, but the simplicity of every decision, and how little thought Miles put into hiding his illegal actions. This simplicity always made everyone assume more competence than was actually there. Even Benoit was fooled, believing there to be a greater mastermind, which is why he was so upset. Thanks for the video, this is the most I've ever reflected on this movie haha.

you just ignore the "because he wanted to achieve x, and y seems like a useful means to that end in the eyes of a stupid person"-explanation.

Sociopaths typically get caught out if they are not clever enough. This story is where the people around the sociopath were the stupid ones and acted out of peer pressure and group fear. "The Emperor's New Clothes" touched on the same subject but in that case the Emperor continued.

Why would a tech billionaire have to be smart to be succesfull? I think smart CEOs are just as intelligent as the general population, they just got lucky most of the time

It is deadpool, he breaks the 4th dimension and knows that all of this is just movies. Best off all, which I would totally agree with is this comment on reddit that explains that deadpool has nothing to do with the universe of marvel and everything to do with the different movie studios. Deadpool "timeline" dying has nothing to do with the timeline (hypothesis), but the "studio" scrambling and losing money because their biggest hit (Logan) is no more. Hence need to find that new "hit wonder". (the TVA - which is funny because it looks like a news/edit back room - laughing at deadpool as though he is good enough to save the studio). Take everything in deadpool with a pinch of salt, it has NOTHING to do with the marvel universe, it will not add or remove anything from the marvel universe. It is simply a piece to make fun of all the decisions made by the studios, actors playing the different roles ect. Heck, go read up on what happened to the movies regarding Blade, Electra and how we never got that Gambit movie to understand the piece "we just want a proper send off". If this movie is messy is because this movie wasn't made with the current young generation in mind. This movie makes 100% sense and nailed what it has set out to do. Wesley Snipes will always be Blade.

It's a kinda weird to see people arguing about Star Wars "canon", it seems like we're talking about the Bible or something. When I was a boy playing with my Star Wars action figures, the Galactic Empire joined forces with the Decepticons to destroy the Rebel Alliance while Goku was trained by Master Yoda on Dagobah. Meanwhile, Vegeta discovers that the Empire destroyed the Saiyan Planet with the Death Star and travels to Tatooine to find Obi-Wan Kenobi and form a partnership to kill Darth Vader. However, Vegeta was captured by Boba Fett and imprisoned in Jabba the Hutt's palace, which he escapes after transforming into the giant ape Osaru in a triple fullmoon night and completely destroys Jabba's palace, then Obi-Wan shows up in the middle of chaos and cuts off Vegeta's tail with his lightsaber. So relax guys, it's just a fictional space adventure universe created by a nerd in the 70's, you're taking this a little too seriously. We have a real war going on in Ukraine right now and another one going on in Israel/Palestine with serious chances of escalating into a conflict of catastrophic proportions and you are debating about space wars in fictional universes?? WTF?????

WRONG

Tsk tsk. What is the point of making this video, hmm? Ragebaiting for the sake of it?

Sorry, but no. The writing is not actually "bad". The plot is ridiculous and meandering, not because of bad writing, but because the writers _wanted_ it that way. What you missed, and what this movie does, is it takes a _giant_ piss at Loki, at the TVA, at the concept of the multiverse, and at the MCU in general. The TVA - as an organization - is introduced explained in the movie, precisely because it expects that you did _not_ watch Loki, or the other 20 piss poor Disney shows, and you don't care about them. It makes fun of the Void, buy putting random nonsensical things in it (like the burried 20th century fox logo?). Deadpool is a character _famous_ for breaking the 4th wall, and this movie function almost more like a parody, then a serious movie. Its "plot" relies on genre troupes and sudden coincidences, and not hard logic. And it's a 100% conscious choice from the writers, because that's also how the comic works. Really the only reason the TVA is probably in the movie is for Wade to mow them down like a lawnmower. The "anchor being" is a not-so-subtle reference to Wolverine being the one who carried the X-Men franchise, and with his death the entire Fox Marvel is left without a lead hero (a.k.a. the universe dying), until Deadpool "resurrects" him, and "Fox universe" is fine again. Also Cassandra is the *least* one dimensional character in the entire movie, filled with one dimensional characters, and comic reliefs. She actually has tragic past, and a hatred for Charles, that made her into a psychopath, and bit deeper of a motivation, then the rest of the cast. She is anything but "evil for evil's sake".

It was great fun,go see it. This person doesn't know what there talking about. Probably works for DC.

Still question when will Star Wars end? To me true canon is the GL six movies with a mix of expanding universe and some Disney material that I like that go between and before the movies but Return of the Jedi is the happy ending of Star Wars. Most problem the current canon is trying connect everything but not let it own thing and sometimes they to self insert themselves in the story like Acolyte.

Oh man , thank you for this sanity restoring analyses separate from all the shooting loads across the room hype we have been getting everywhere , this is an awesome , sober look at the flaws of this film , and i know , it's only supposed to be an excuse to have these two characters in the same movie and engages in satire more than anything substantial , and it succeeds in that respect , it's a silly , fantastical , fan service cartoon , but what;s more hilarious is that they want it both ways , they also want us to get emotionally involved in the awkward melodrama which had me howling , i didn't care what happened because i know there are zero stakes when it concerns these cheap trick for convenience multiverse paradoxes , why do i care about someone feeling all guilty about something when i know somewhere in Earth 3456 or whatever , another version exists that did save everyone they loved , it's so damn asinine now . Can we at least please follow some logic also , as you pointed out , this isn't writing , maybe with the jokes , but concerning a somewhat logical storyline that doesn't break it's own rules , this is some almost cynically lazy writing , they just do whatever they want according to wherever they want the story to go . Okay so , it is entertaining , but it holds zero weight , it's all spectacle without any substantive foundation , this trades on nostalgia more than gravitas , something people complain about in other films but give a pass here , i honestly felt i was watching a fan service YT video at times not a big budget Mcu film , and okay , that was fine somewhat but i was definitely getting anxious , if it wasn't for Reynolds quipping constantly i think i would have drifted off , and the cameos , i guess they are good if you like those characters , they could have been removed altogether , the movie could have been shorter , and it wouldn't have suffered for it . This one is tearing up the box office , it's totally braindead mainstream entertainment , yes , even with the violence and cursing it still plays safe and panders to a wide audience , so we'll get more of the same , but can we get some twist to end this multiverse bull poop , like , hey maybe , there was one timeline and reality all along , the rest were illusions , just somethign even remotely creative instead of this infinite universe nonsense . So yeah , none of it matters , this will satisfy most , they will love it and watch it numerous times , for me , i might watch it one more time and move on , i honestly felt the second one was more satisfying , then again , i don't really care about Wolverine , and i never liked the X Men , so i wasn't as engaged as some others would have been . Oh and that villain , oh my , what a joke , what an absolute joke , you know if you're going for satire you can make them have something resembling a sense of humor , or hey , maybe their motivation is something simple instead of destroying everything because they are having a hissy fit LOL . The movie will make billions , i'm sure they will be back , oh wait , is that a spoiler , really , with this multiverse nonsense , of course she will , that's not a spoiler

On one hand it left a awful lot of story threads dangling on the other at least it was not a real cliffhanger like so many season finales.

Ah yes, another pretentious video from someone who thinks he's the authority on what good movies should be.

This movie was fucking epic. 10/10 They were both born to play these characters. When Wolverine finally puts on the mask it's one of the best moments in cinematic history. It makes you feel like a kid again. This movie is fucking phenomenal. Every actor delivers in this film.

Bruh…..

He couldn’t go back in time and save that Logan because it was a canon event

It's pretty obvious why you don't have any subs. A boring, pretentious opposite to critical drinking. This was horrid. You got TONS of lore completely wrong and COMPLETELY missed every real point of why this film exists. Sheesh.

What failing? The acolyte has a fantastic writing😮I'd love Ahsoka could have half power in the writing. I really love the links, the ideas. Not interested in these nerds' legends

This film seems off…. It’s like a shell of the first movie. All of the gimmicks but no soul. It just feels empty and has no stakes. Feels like a low-budget parody of the original, but even parodies have some character to them. This just feels like a corporate cash grab with decent humour and fight scenes.

It's not Up to Disney if it's cannon.It's up to the fans

Shut up nobody cares about ur opinion 👍🏻

DEADPOOL (9/10) DEADPOOL-2 (8/10) DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE (10/10)

I don’t think the point was to save the MCU. It was a fun movie and that’s all it needed.

yes, the plot was messy. the action was fun with music. I was not a fan of the soft ending.

bro is like those people who thinks earth is flat XD.

Your very wrong it was an amazing movie yes it was all over the place but it's opening up to something special

tbh this movie was just packed with cameos to make it good.

🤓👆

Clicked thinking I'd get some genuinely good points, there were some minor issues, but god this video is incredibly poorly thought out.

new yt channel attempting to be edgy for content

Must suck to fundamentally Not be able to enjoy things anymore. just remember 1 day u wont be here and youll regret when u look back at how much time u wasted hating things.

Going to stop you @1:00 if this is a question you have you really really just hating to hate. The villain is a old believer in the timeline and pruning. They go out of the way to establish that. Its not even a question why they doing it or why he refers to it as the sacred timeline. If that needed explained to you what are you doing? Everything Deadpool and wolverine know is what they were told by these people. Absolutely no issue their. Really sad you had to be told that. I saw plot holes in the movie as well. Every long running franchise will have them but you picked something that was not a plot hole or a issue at all as your first point? Hang it up.

I thought the cube McGuffin thing was pretty dumb. Wolverines cowl looked a little off. And a small handful of jokes were face-palm-y. I enjoyed the movie overall quite a bit. Oh, also the villain had insane power but also seemed to lose in a fairly simple way.

Really like this review, this movie is thoroughly overrated and will age as well as spoiled milk I simply wonder why the writing has to be as bad as it will only benefit you to write an actually coherent script.

it's treason, then

Why is he so mad? Did movie director fucked his girlfriend or what?

You brought up a lot of excellent points in this video. I thought the movie was a really fun time, but I found that it does some stuff that it doesn't really explain, like how Laura and the others survived, and how Wase and Logan weren't atomised. I think the characters and the action do help make it more enjoyable, and its okay if your story is a bit more barebones wheb you have good characters, but it still brings up a bit of questions. Also even if it was perfect it woulnt save the MCU because its only one movie.
