Ben: because it’s based on a book, they can’t stray that far from the book Rings of Power writers: hold my soy latte

[@BeskarDevil]

To the extent you can say rings of power is even based off a book. it’s really just based on the universe as a whole.

[@lawrencetalbot8346]

@Mando No, not it’s not even based on the universe. It is a total bastardization of Tolkien. Even games like Shadow War/Mordor while having some free range with the Lore, at least were enjoyable and didn’t try to push a message. RoP is just utter trash with the writers intentionally giving Tolkien the middle finger because he didn’t have more female warriors or whatever nonsense

I think Villenueve though is one of the few directors that is just given free reign to actually tell the story he wants though. None of his movies have been noticeably woke. Wokeness usually comes in when a studio gets the last say in everything.

[@Sam_T2000]

@@bradysmith4245 - agreed. if a particular director or even star is talented and/or beloved enough to run their own show, it rarely turns out particularly woke, and those types are not quite as rare as you’d think. _Dune, Part II_ will be great. …I don’t know what to make of _Indiana Jones 5,_ though. James Mangold has never made a bad movie, and hasn’t been woke up to this point, but _Indy 5_ is not looking good 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, ask Amazon how it’s done. They managed to much a trash adaptation of LOTR, that had no basis in the books at all. They only had a few pages in the appendices to work with, afterall.

Also, the first option would make Mario seem like a simp

"Surprisingly?"

[@Flamebreakerful]

She isn't strong in what you would consider any of the main line games though, especially the earlier ones before woke culture took of. She's strong in her spin offs (duh what else would they do) and like mario party, or smash which is just for game balance. Other than that the only time I can think of peach gbeing strong is as one of the selectable characters for multiplayer in newer side scrollers. (Which by that same logic we'd have to say Toads are strong and have superhuman powers too lol)

Oppenheimer looks like it could definitely be a classic and the fact that it was getting hate for "lack of diversity" bodes well for it as it means higher chance of historical accuracy. I will wait and see with Roosevelt as well, how they decide to show the man, positive or negative. Also agree with Spider-Man and John Wick though I'd throw Hunger Games into the no go zone, hard pass for me. Mario deserves "Dating Zone" rating imo.

[@nealorr5086]

The "Hot/Crazy Matrix" is a joke about how women are proportionally hot and crazy. The "Wife Zone" is, the zone of the woman you want to marry - hot, but not too crazy. It doesn't have anything to do with who you're going to take to movies (though I admit it's a little confusing here, because Ben, for instance, isn't going to take his kids to see John Wick IV).

Since I've read Dune, I will say that I think part 2 could be amazing. Part 1 has been labeled an exposition dump (which is pretty much the same in the book) but the latter parts of the book have more interesting stuff and don't really introduce anything new. For the most part they develop what's already been introduced save for a few things. But overall, if they stick to the book and maybe try a couple of new things, I think it will be great. I do appreciate sticking to the source material, but who doesn't like a nice little surprise here and there?

[@asaphmedeiros4096]

I agree with 90% of Ben prediction, but i have two observations: 1- I believe Mario is Danger Zone, because Illumination doesn't have a history of being very woke; 2- How Mission Impossible 7: Dead Reckoning - Part One wasn't in the list ? Tom Cruise is amazing and the franchise is one of the remaining not-woke and very popular

Pretty sure Mario is still the hero of the Mario movie. It looks like peach helps to train Mario. And, I mean, she rules a kingdom, it makes sense she knows things he doesn’t (especially since she’s from the mushroom kingdom and Mario isn’t). Also, she is a playable character in a lot of games. If you think that she can’t fight, then boy you haven’t played the games. I will say that it does seem like they changed peach’s personality. She is a badass and runs a kingdom, but you also see her make cakes for Mario, make quirky jokes, and her movement is typically more graceful and less… b-line? However, you can only get so much from a trailer. We’ll see what she’s like in the movie.

I would say that making Peach kick but in the movie is not off brand for Nintendo. They really don't cave to the woke. All the way back to the Super Nintendo in Mario RPG, Peaches was a playable character. So I think the movie is really more directed towards long time fans of the game franchise. At least I hope it is. I will say that when Nintendo was attacked by the woke mob over a hairstyle in Animal Crossing on Switch, they basically told the community, it's for everyone, if you like it play it, if not, then don't. Basically told the woke mob to go play something else since they wouldn't be changing their game for them.

[@ai_is_a_great_place]

"corrections" Wick 4 - classic Mario - dating FX - dangerzone (the definition of popcorn flick) Dune 2 - wife Gaurdians - danger

[@norad_clips]

Peach has been a bit of an action girl (granted mostly outside of the mainline 2D and 3D) for a long time. I’m not ready to dismiss Mario as a fun movie to see so easily. Granted, I highly doubt Ben would get any enjoyment from watching it one way or another.

[@RepresentingRodina]

Seeing the edit put in the Dark Souls clip made me excited for the Daily Wire crew to start making video essays about my favorite video game

[@cheese6575]

I love Ben's mildly upset noises that he does as he's talking about woke junk. Also his Mario voice is 10/10.

[@sarasweightlossjourney1432]

I agree

[@TeaMasterIroh]

Little fun fact: Instead of relying on cgi environments for Oppenheimer, Nolan will be using REAL EXPLOSIVES to mimic the Trinity test.

Me at the edge of the Arizonan desert just as the atomic blast hits: 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@thebatman4279]

RIP planet.

[@PilotSun-rg9bh]

More of these please. Fun to watch

[@pnutbuttrcrepes8129]

I think my heart sank when Ben put Super Mario in the No-Go Zone

[@2mon249]

I've been a movie buff pretty much my whole life. Got SOO many movie quotes in my head lol. But movies these days are SO cringe... I just can't

[@garrett3726]

Saying “cringe” is cringe

[@ripstake]

I hope you are correct about Dune. The first one was good, but they are departing from the source material for the second. It's going to be about Chani, not Paul. Perhaps it will be well-balanced, but honestly, Hollywood does not get the benefit of the doubt any longer.

[@karenb6253]

How do you get that it’s going to be about Chani?

[@ripstake]

@@karenb6253 The Director, the writer, and the producer all said it. In other words, Denis Villeneuve said Chani would be the main character of Dune 2. It's not exactly a secret.

[@sarathomas8499]

I was like you better put the spider-verse into a high category and I was not disappointed 😂😂😂

[@savannabruno6556]

Ok but like with the little mermaid I am so upset because she was my favorite Disney princess growing up. I was looking forward to a live action version of it. But Disney ruined it with woke political ideology. I don’t think I’ll be seeing that one.

[@renaissancenovice7202]

You need to do a lot more of these videos! Maybe a monthly segment about the movies coming out that month? You could also have a poll for existing movies that you would have to watch and rank, Matt Walsh style.

[@andreasm9102]

@writeme-2477 🤦‍♂️

[@MothyEmms]

I can't believe Ben didn't put Barbie straight into the no-go zone

[@LadyDecember]

Ngl, Barbie kind of looks like a fun time, but ultimately I think it will highly depend on the tone they're going for. I gotta say that I'm digging the live-action cartoon energy they got going there from those brief clips.

[@dictatorshipoverdemocracy]

2:08 woah woah woah, Benny boy! Interstellar? The Big Short? Those are surely classics.

[@stevenreckling203]

The ones I'm planning on going to the theater for are Dune 2, Guardians 3, and possibly Indy whatever it is now if the reviews are good.

[@sigmatau8231]

Ben you should do more of these SERIOUSLY

[@MGone3]

The daily wire should make Ben go to the theater for every single one of these movies and then have him do a review #MakeBenWatch

[@briang.2218]

They juke him into thinking he's about to watch Oppenheimer but then show him 2 hours of woke tiktoks

[@southpawmoose]

"Its based on a book, it cant stray to far from the film" Me: (laughs in Startship troopers)

[@jamesholt8516]

Yeah…Dune Part II and Oppenheimer are my go twos this year. Most definitely.

[@reubennichols644]

[@izzieluv]

My husband is a big marvel fan. We used to see them all in theater, but now there are only a few of the characters I am interested in seeing in the theater. We will see Spider-Man and very likely Guardians. We will see Oppenheimer, possibly on opening weekend. We will see Ballad of The Songbird and the Snake

[@Olderaccount17]

I don't think Ben is using the Y/Woke axis *at all* ... Fast X, Mario, and Barbie MORE WOKE THAN THE LITTLE MERMAID??

[@113089Drummerboy]

I'm excited about Dune Part 2 I thought part 1 was a classic it encouraged me to actually read the book and it's rare that a movie does that to me.

[@aliasalias510]

4:18 A Darksouls reference in a Ben Shapiro video. What a time to be alive.

[@littlebit813]

"They can't stay that far from the books." L O L

[@charlesevanshughes3638]

The only reason why I'm giving Indy 5 a chance is director James Mangold. He's made Ford vs Ferrari, Logan, Walk the Line, and a few other great movies.

[@michaelfields7088]

I'm the opposite. I'm seeing it because it's the final movie for Ford and John William's. Mangold can suck it.

[@SmyleGames]

I would have agreed with you on the gardians of the galaxy if I hadn't watched the Christmas special that recently came out, gives me hope

[@brendan4859]

That David Lynch clip was instantly what I thought of and they used it lol

[@moviewolverine89]

No consideration for MI7: Dead Reckoning? Our man Tom Cruise is out there literally cliff diving off dirt bikes for our entertainment. That deserves at least a nod.

[@debbiestyer453]

Love your pre reviews.

[@Poweranimals]

17:02 I lowkey thought that was from Legends of Tomorrow for a second.

[@maikebaier8004]

Einstein after seeing this matrix: I need your help dude

[@andym8119]

This sounded nuts at first, then I laughed at the concept, finally I found it to be a totally ingenious.
