10 Best Reveals In Movie Prequels

[@RomaroBrandon]

Young Jay/James did not see his father die after saving Kay/Kevin's life. He arrived seconds later asking where his father was then got his memory erased.

[@johnjamesleahy4065]

That is true and i applaud your attention to detail sincerely, but, i must ask, did you still get emotional at that moment?? I definitely did, i didn't expect to feel that deeply by the conclusion!

Agreed!

Thanks For this! Men in Black 3 Will always be the Last movie of the franchise

The only reason Rogue One exists is to patch that supposed flaw (the belief that the shot was so easy it had to be sabotage), the problem is it was never a flaw. The shot was never too easy, it literally required divine intervention. The exhaust port was about six feet wide and between 40 to 50 miles long, depending on the size of the core. If there's any flaw it's that the exhaust port was actually too small or there were too few to properly cool the core, and after firing on Alderaan, it should have had some form of meltdown. One could argue why it didn't have internal cooling (such as liquid cooling), but that would require an immense amount of fluid to be transported into space, and that would be a logistical nightmare because of how fluids act in space and dealing with the states of matter (keeping it/preventing it from becoming frozen or gaseous during transport). More to the point, if this was sabotage, then Galen Erso is either terrible at it or a double agent trying to trick the Rebellion into a false sense of hope that they could somehow destroy it and attacking it instead of fleeing Yavin, and either case would also mean being precognisant of Luke's involvement and the creation of the Rebellion in the first place). More importantly, it cheapens the first movie's themes of faith versus technology for it to be sabotage. "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force." Whether one is inclined to take that as referring to an actual supernatural force (a god or Tao or whatever) or faith in a more abstract sense (that good will inevitably triumph over evil, eventually), it cheapens Luke's accomplishment (as well as the Empire's arrogance in relying on technology) for it to be sabotage. It would be like somebody poisoning or inebriating Goliath prior to his fight with David.

[@darthpandinus1746]

I can think of easier ways to sabotage the Death Star, like have it misalign after a few fires to eventually backfire and destroy itself. Of course this is from the same people that made the Clone Emperor from Dark Empire and something like Darth Caedus cannon.

[@BClarke]

A lot of words but an unconvincing argument. The flaw in the Death Star did not destroy it; it merely created a weakness. The attack run in Star Wars was set up to be a suicide mission, and it was established that it would take a near-miracle to survive the assault and to land the perfect shot to take advantage of that weakness. Only Luke could do it, and he needed The Force to be with him or he would have ended up the next Porkins.

[@wadewilson7985]

final destination 5 was one of the best twists ever

[@richardjamesgallardojr.7584]

Hey guys do you remember that vampire movie with Grace Jones I think it was called vamp cuz that would be considered a precursor to from dusk till Dawn

[@zanethind]

That X-men First Class reveal on how Xavier got paralyzed was a fantastic reveal and scene as well

[@artyfowl3629]

The Death Star "flaw" explanation was actually unneeded. A station that big would obviously need an exhaust port... And the way it was set up made it almost impossible to destroy. If there was enough energy to destroy a planet in that thing, then there was enough energy to destroy the Death Star. It was a natural weakness that could literally not be avoided.... So instead of educating viewers and explaining sh*t, they added a really bad retcon....

[@yellalot101]

Literally came here to say exactly this! I never thought the "flaw" was actually obvious. That's why they needed the plans: to find a weakness and exploit it.

[@VictoriaJackson-d9m]

Now they have to explain the hole in the second one large enough to fly a ship through... Whose dead dad built that one?

[@artyfowl3629]

@@VictoriaJackson-d9m Well, I'd personally say that it's because they didn't have time to finish it..... but we don't know if that's clear enough for them....

[@aericwolf]

In the Cube movies, I never got the impression that Wynn and Kazan were meant to be the same person. Despite the similarities at the end, I assumed the point was that the "people upstairs" would frequently lobotomize problematic employees and throw them in the Cube.

[@Ssparksey]

The director of Cube Zero (Ernie Barbarash) said in the dvd commentary that though they have similar mannerisms they are definitely not the same person just giving you a hint at to that Kazan may have been lobotomised in the same way.

[@jaimereupert4247]

When he was doing the intro, I was like, "there's a prequel to "The Thing"?" 😂

Johnny Cage's Sad Origins Mortal Kombat Legends Cage Match a more fitting choice for my sake I hate Mortal Kombat but can't stop watching the Animated movies It's like someone watching Game Of Throne while having animostity towards the original books It's goddamn weird

[@scottharris149]

The whole thing with Magneto and Xavier depends on who is telling the story. In the comics Xavier was in the Korean war and was shot by a North Korean soldier. Then there was a story line where him and Marko Kain (Juggernaut) discover an ancient temple that collapsed on them causing Xaviers injury. Then there was also one where he was attacked by a mutant hating mob who beat him. They also updated one story where he was in Afghanistan during the 80s and got injured there.

[@HighHeelKnight]

Why have countless thousands of Star Wars fans debated for years about the exhaust port of the Death Star being a plot hole (It wasn't for the record) but I never heard anyone discuss the tractor beam controls in the middle of a cassum? At least the Family Guy parody brought up those two engineers that stand on a small ledge next to the baster ray.

[@eldudereno204]

In Cube, it’s good to know what the backstory is. To find out more information. So I’d say it’s more than welcomed.

[@Wander-asia-vlogs]

The last one was pretty touching. So sad

[@klblissdish]

Good list

[@SchoMar]

Turned out Han didn't die at all. Pretty much none of the ridiculously large cast of F&F have actually died or left, which means they are often just left hanging around pointlessly.

[@matman000000]

F&F has resurrected more dead characters than Supernatural and The Walking Dead combined

[@djhutchison]

The idea that the Death Star's thermal exhaust port is an intentional design flaw, and not, you know, something you would expect to find in a weapon that generated the kind of power the Death Star does is just stupid.

[@BrendanHenry]

Mib3 is phenomenal

[@Bowcaster26]

I adore Rogue One but someone pointed out to me that it was never a plot hole. The shaft is tiny, heavily defended and only gets breached of plot armour and space magic.

[@AustinCDavis]

7:26 yes, the twist in the end of this one was AMAZING!

[@Ssparksey]

Thought it’s not about the reveal smiling aces does have another connection to the first film the Tremor family specifically Lester Trenor (Maury Sterling in both).

[@carlgibson285]

It was fine, but it could've been great if they'd used practical effects like the original instead of CGI.

[@jsmith3946]

@@carlgibson285 they where going to but it was the studio that made them use cgi

[@carlgibson285]

@@jsmith3946 yeah, I think the studio insisted on it because it was cheaper to do CGI than practical. It's a shame though. If they'd spent the extra money I'm sure the movie would've been more successful.

[@johnny1902]

You could also tell that final destination 5 is a prequel if you look at the technology being used

[@KAPAFlyer]

The deleted scene that's being talked about again in the wake of Romulus with the Engineer talking with Peter Weyland about Jesus was an Engineer and humans killed him is absolutely genius. A shame it was cut because the Religious community would have probably had a hissy fit.

[@SolCresta3405]

Men in Black 3 is not a prequel.

[@lighteningwilsonofficial]

Technical because it's mostly set in the past it's a two for sequel/prequel

[@bubbajoshproductions3990]

I thought that too but looking back on it, it was a clever way of being prequel-ish but still being considered a sequel

[@jasonbrown4572]

I hate when Prequels are numbered, it makes no sense to have part 2 take place before the events of the first film etc. Technically MIB III isn't a prequel it features time travel and a combination of present and altered past events.

[@jeremyblackmouth3323]

What does it actually mean "has no business being good as it is"? Aren't movies supposed to be good at entertainment in their genre or you don't like the fact a movie ruins a certain belief about the genre or franchise?

[@roryscott2941]

Prasing Episode 3 and then the engineers from Prometheus, Wow! Here I thought I was easily entertained

[@alm2187]

1:56 What? No, Order 66 is just one more example of contrived nonsense. It's rapid-fire instances of troopers getting the jump on Jedi inexplicably, it's far from necessary since there's decades between episodes for the Jedi to get killed off, and even the identifier "Order 66" itself is a dubious creative choice. (Also note semantics. I believe you'd call it a sequence or a montage. A scene is shot all in one setting.)

[@claymathewselevator8121]

I liked X-men First Class

[@Peregrin3]

The best reveal in the Star Wars prequels was the Star Wars Prequels.😅😎

[@youngfuu100]

Platform 2

[@alm2187]

Let's not praise the shrinking of fictional realities. The crippling of Professor X in comics is oblique and mythical. We didn't need a film version claiming how, oh, it was just a little accident on the part of his most famous frienemy.

[@mrJules100]

What about Red Dead 2????

[@KeianhhnaieK]

Best part is I didn't sit through this video, but I did just scroll towards the end and I saw none other than the cash grab I called attention to...

[@screenwriterjohn]

I hated that MiB revelation. Took away the magic of their first adventure in the 90s. It was better that the two men never met and J just stumbled on the aliens.

[@samueljordan3177]

The Engineer reveal was meh. It wasn't great

[@atlanime]

MIB3 is not a prequel. It's a sequel!

[@JasonICECarson]

And if you'd watched the video, you'd know it's both, so technically it's on this list because it is in fact a prequel, and yes, also a sequel.

[@nwo_champion]

The ending to MIB3 sucked, it felt so cheap and rushed. It made the first movie feel pretty much irrelevant. After hearing they barely had a script when filming started and delays/rewrites, I can see why now.

[@goblindumper69]

2 minutes, no comments?

[@toptiertech7291]

Can we stop this stupid Star Wars rhetoric? How is a mouse sized hole in the middle of the Death Star and “obvious” flaw? They literally needed the ships blueprints to find out it about it. That’s like saying a cars engine is an “obvious flaw” 😂

[@rollingwithchuckg]

The X-Men twist was trash

[@crashconstructionunfiltere3829]

The Mib 3 ending kinda screwed up the first movie, J was “ hired” because he could run just as fast as the alien in the beginning of the movie. No other reason why K would be looking at him for his job replacement

[@SmokeDimi]

MiB 3 reveal destroyed original MiB for me. It showed that J didn't get the job because of his skills but because he was K's "godson".

[@4fortune1984]

Thumbs down for even saying Tokyo Drift is a good movie SMH 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@dashtoroya2838]

Well compared to the rest of the franchise where they do stupid shit. This is a pretty good movie even if it feels empty.

[@saverag]

MIB3 ruined the original with this shit, in MIB Jey was picked for his skills not some dead dad bullshit

[@AustinCDavis]

1:27 Revenge of the Sith WAS the prequel story.

Star Wars sucks idk why these geeks even watch it

[@alm2187]

The Cube prequel character arc seems to undermine the original character. Do lobotomies turn subjects into autistic savants, ever?
