This book was never gonna work as a movie. It's a story specifically made to be written. The noise works so much better in text format than in audio.

[@hanaasbananas1780]

Yeah it's still one of my all time favourite book trilogies and I was excited to see what they did but after I saw the trailer I just fully noped out it looks SO BAD

[@BernardoPC117]

It's weird but thoughts or in this case noise is usually better represented in text, my favorite books are the Ender's game series and just like Chaos walking the movie adaptation flopped because the most interesting part of the books is on what the characters are thinking and there is several pages of what a character is thinking in 1 second of real time, so unless you stop time in the movie there is no way of showing all that, I haven't read Chaos walking but I feel the problem might be something similar.

[@hanaasbananas1780]

@@BernardoPC117 oh definitely! I think in the book when Todd first walks back into his town, the entire page is just COVERED in overlapping writing of all different types of handwriting and it was really hard to read, but it really showed how intense the Noise was and how you couldn't escape it.

I for one thought that the thoughts of a teenage boy were made very accurately. Like, the scene where Todd imagines kissing Viola? Would totally happen (in a boys head), but it's very unlikely that the teenage boy would act upon it (depending on personality). I thought Todd was being rather considerate by sleeping out in the rain simply to avoid Viola from hearing his thoughts. Thoughts are impulsive. Like the call of the void, people won't always act upon them, nor should they be blamed for having such thoughts

Re: the book having viola be with her parents. In the book, the journey from earth to the new world took so long that all the passengers had to be put to sleep, like a cryogenic stasis sort of thing otherwise everyone would be dead by the end of the journey. So a group of people volunteered to be the caretakers, and had kids on board for like three generations or something. So it wasn't just a 'family team', it was just them living all their lives on a ship. The first settlers were religious, so got rid of most of their technology, whereas the second ship weren't, and had all the technology from old earth, and the caretakers spent years learning about agriculture etc to streamline the settlement process, and went ahead to get some infrastructure running before the rest of the settlers got there.

read this series in my 20s and its one of the best YA trilogies imo. the story gets better and better and can get pretty brutal haha. i was leery of this adaptation bc i think one of the most important aspects of the books was how young and powerless todd and viola were surrounded by adults so i wasn't a fan of the movies aging up. i was also curious as to how they would show the Noise. kinda sad that it turned out so poorly! but im glad you enjoyed the books :)

[@wsgits_nick2328]

I was going to see this movie instead of Godzilla v Kong Good thing i didnt.

[@AmandaTheJedi]

I think I'd still rather watch this but I don't like big monster movies

Unrelated but I've always thought Daisy Ridley looks like a Sprouse twin, I can't tell which one.

Chaos Walking is literally the only bad one he's done 4 YEARS AGO! Ever since then he's only had powerhouse performances which carried his movies. The Devil All The Time and Cherry were both amazing imo

Dude I LOVED this book series as a teen, loved that it was dark and gritty, loved the stylized parts on the pages when there was lots of thoughts at once. I had no idea they were making a movie based on it.

[@stevenm11920]

She only briefly mentioned ‘I’m thinking of ending things’ but now I’m just like 😢

[@Domar7431]

So YMS pointed out a bunch of problems with the movie, The Mayor is the only one that can constantly control what noise he emits, right? So how in the hell did nobody in town ever think "Maybe we shouldn't have killed all those women?" Also, why in the hell did the entire town decide to collectively hide all of this from one random kid? How exactly did Todd know the faces of the women David killed in order to emit the illusion of them appearing when he had no chance to ever meet them?

[@Internetrando]

Oh... I didn't know that Mads Mikkelsen was in this! I might have to watch it now.

[@graceddiegallagher]

poor tom holland just keeps having a bad movie streak

[@alex-hi5si]

Did you even watch his most recent movies? The Devil All The Time was much acclaimed, especially his perf btw. Cherry got him more awards buzz than any other of his prior movies because his performance was nothing less than Oscar worthy. Chaos Walking is the only one falling off and well, they filmed it 4 years ago and he distanced himself from it because Lionsgate is a hella shitty company

[@SuperPal-tr3go]

This premise sounds like a horror movie for everyone involved.

[@fernandapastre9834]

I was watching that movie yesterday and for a moment, I actually believed all the women had killed themselves cause they got tired of hearing all the men noises.

[@angrygoldfish]

I feel sorry for old Doug. He's done some crackin' films. It's sad when a director misfires so badly that his first draft is unwatchable. It's not unheard of, but I feel sorry for them when it does.

[@archaeoamelia5235]

I loved these books when I was younger & this is literally the first I’m hearing of a movie adaptation of it What

[@AmandaTheJedi]

That's what I'm saying the marketing for this was trash

[@rachelgray6790]

I read the books in middle school and have been waiting for the movies for like 8 years ;_; Disappointment of the century

[@buckduckit]

I read this book series about gosh 8 years ago or something I chat really remember but to this day the entire series still haunts me, I can recall actual passages from this book perfectly. The way it handled some really intense themes was absolutely incredible and I loved how Todd was absolutely not a moral hero (the ask and the answer and monster's of men really proved that). I just found that it was a "kids" book that treated the audience like they actually had a brain and didn't spoon-feed them anything (also hey the topics they tacked were heavy and needed tackling) so to see this adaption just really sucks it takes everything about the brilliant series I adore and just sorta goes hey here's some pretty cgi around the noise oh also all the characters are super bland versions of how they originally were have fun!! Also just such bad use of really good star power

[@mackie12712]

Ben and Cillian are confirmed together in the book series by the last book - Cillian was referred to as ben’s “one in particular” which is basically their phrase for significant other or soul mate. This is also used for one other mlm relationship in the books.

[@Jamie-yo9wn]

The book series is one of my favorites of all time and I was eagerly watching every update on this movie from its first announcement to the casting info, the hellish shooting schedule, Tom completely ghosting on all promo for it, and the actual release. The movie was... interesting. I think if it had come out in 2016/17 when movies were still a thing it would have been good, but in the modern day it would have been an AMAZING TV series with depth and so much world to explore. Definitely disappointing. We got Percy Jackson'd.

[@MariamDawa]

Amanda confidently calling Nick Jonas by Joe is basically me at everything in life

[@GoddoDoggo]

My favorite dystopian YA novel was called "Life As We Knew It" and was about an asteroid crashing into the moon, driving it slightly closer to Earth, which messes with the tides and volcanoes, essentially causes the apocalypse. It's basically The Road: Teen Girl Edition and was some heavy sh*t when I was 13. I've always wondered why they never tried to make a movie out of it.

[@jamiemiller1040]

THANK YOU! They had amazing actors and I was so dissapointedbecause its such a good premise

[@nekograce7914]

Thank you for covering this. I was going to watch it. But I can’t handle movies where animals are harmed or killed. I don’t care how “amazing” the movie might be(Marley and me).EDIT: i literally just started crying when you talked about Manchie’s death in the book.

[@cheezarose]

They did not do right by Mads Mikkelson. His talent is wasted in this.

[@MrOskarlol]

I think Tom Holland is going to have a tough career because no matter what you see him in he will always be spiderman like for Dan radcliff as HP, elijah wood as frodo and well tobey maguire as well spiderman. Alot of companies is going to want to capitalise on his teen heartthrob status and cast him in these sort of teen action films that are rarely good. I hope he can get to branch out somewhat like Rob pattinson post twilight when his career became really interesting and diverse

[@AnnRav44]

I loved the books when I read them back in high school! They were one of my favorites series at the time. It's too bad they messed up such great potential, like they did with Percy Jackson.

[@OverlyPositiveFanboy]

Not gonna lie, I like how they visualised the Mayor's noise when he's doing his "I am the Circle" chant.

[@hamilpatel4025]

I was waiting for your video on this, it's the perfect amount of crazy yet interesting.

[@DarthBear356]

I love the books, it takes really topical issues and twists them into the most extreme situations. The movie takes everything great about the characters, every creative concept that was pretty well built upon in the books and just throws it in the trash.

[@crayhack]

I couldn't tell if you were saying "mayor" or "mare" the whole time and now I feel like the character is just a big ass horse

[@maybemay1403]

As a fan of the books, one of the worst changes they made in my mind was to remove the animal's noise. Manchee's final scene in the book made me, an adult, cry harder than any other book moment before. I was bawling and my family mocked me lol but it was a really emotional moment. Manchee's presence is so minimal in the movie it's like Todd doesn't even care about him until he dies, and then he's sad for a bit but kinda gets over it bc of Viola?? Like Cillian is dead and Todd doesn't know when he's ever going to see Ben again so Manchee is the only family he has left, at least in the book he has these moments where he's expecting him to be there and is going through the painful process of realising he's not there and he'll never be there again. It's just so lackluster, you've given us this whole new world but not really shown us the world.
