I know I’m a year late, but they COULD still make it a cloverfield connection of sorts? For starters, the story goes that the Death Angels are a race of monster aliens that originally grew in a hostile planet with heavy gravity; explaining their tough armor and lack of swimming abilities. Now, for reasons we just don’t know, their planet just blew up and somehow EVERY SINGKE meteor from that planet crashed on earth and carried them across the galaxy completely unharmed??? Like maybe the aliens in Cloverfield Lane were responsible for the destruction of the Death Angels’ planet AND were the reason all their fragments landed on earth in the first place.

[@MrHPfan4ever]

So I was okay with Lane’s ending. The whole movie set up the question of whether Goodman’s character was crazy or if his assertions were correct. It played on your expectations of an either/or scenario and revealed the answer was that both were true. I like how it completes Michelle’s arc, with her no longer running away. But at the same time, it is such a jarring transition, I can see why others would find it problematic.

[@The_Mothman66]

Yeah, really the film should have ended as she left the bunker and saw the spaceships. She didn't have to suddenly turn into Ellen Ripley out of nowhere. I agree that the reveal works for thematic reasons, it just didn't need an over the top action scene.

stanbonesletsplays Fair. I can see that working better.

[@MortyKaiShalom]

It was jarring, but I kind of liked that about the movie. We went from one tone straight into "HOLY SHIT, WTF IS HAPPENING", real fast. In fact, part of me kind of wants to see how she fares after leaving, but perhaps her story is best left where it is... Or perhaps a passing character in a later installment. In any case, I hope something better comes from "Cloverfield 4" because this one.... mehh..

[@10-AMPM-01]

8:21 good question: "how did they end up on the other side of the sun" . That's a commonly misunderstood aspect of space/time. A lot of people assume the Earth and Sun are "stationary." Meaning, if you time travel to the past, you'd end up on Earth in the past. But, you'd also have to travel in space as far as the solar system has, in that time. So even if you just went back 2 months, you'd end up thousands of miles away from the entire solar system. So yeah, the movie bunks it up. But, not as badly as it could have. There's also the issue of being in deep space without a magnetosphere protecting them from solar radiation. Even movies like Interstellar bunk up space travel.

[@jotarokujo3603]

3 of 9 to be fair, I don’t think audiences give a flying fuck about a magnetosphere protecting the occupants from radiation. It’s one of those more mundane details tbh. Nobody ever sees radiation and it’s unlikely to noticeably affect a person rapidly enough to be a movie plot point. I feel you, accuracy is important. But this is something you’d probably have to explain through dialogue and it wouldn’t really impact any movie. Heck even if you want the characters to die, there’s always starvation, which is more relatable. It’s like explaining that your main character has an immune system.

[@jotarokujo3603]

Amilah I feel you, it just doesn’t work well in a story format which is condensed into around 2 hours. So I understand why it’s not done.

[@tmcleanful]

Abrams has a flawed idea about what drives interest in stories. He thinks that the mystery box that attracts folks should never be opened, and that's why you get all of these strange incongruent angles in his stuff from Lost to the Cloverfield series. What he doesn't seem to get is that what people want is to open the mystery box and see the answer, but to also see that inside is another mystery box even more attractive than the first, having been buffed already by having a satisfying answer to the first mystery. People will then WANT to explore the second mystery box, which should inevitably lead to another answer and yet another mystery box. And so on. Abrams drives me crazy, clearly.

[@Hocotatium111]

Well, Lost actually did that, just without ever answering what was in the second half of all of the mystery boxes. It sort of falls apart in the way Steven Moffat's stuff does, where he teases about how impressive and mysterious everything is just off camera without ever having anything of note to show once the story moves forward. Having a satisfying mystery is easier said than done, since the entire mystery seems stupid in retrospect if the solution is stupid.

[@tmcleanful]

Agreed, which is why the ending to King's Dark Tower series was one of the most maddeningly brilliant I have ever seen. I don't like the way Abrams just leaves it all dangling and uses "not opening the mystery box" as his excuse.

[@dmolmalowski]

He didnt write the story.

Once again Abrams' obsession with twists and reveals has made a story that makes little to no internal sense and exists only to tie unrelated stories together. I'm not claiming he isn't a fine Director/Producer, but he is the worst possible fit for this kind of series. He cannot deal with a franchise that doesn't have or doesn't need all the answers revealed.

Actually, the end of _10 Cloverfield Lane_ had nothing to do with _Cloverfield_ , it was aliens, but not Cloverfield aliens. The only connections it had to _Cloverfield_ were in a makeshift website; there was _nothing_ in the actual movie. _Paradox_ had a few handful of scenes that were connected, but they were added in post and it's obvious because none of the actors are in them; the scene where Donal's character talks about it only has a generic arm in it, not the actors.

At 5:30 you talk about one character only speaking Chinese and everyone speaks English to her. This is actually pretty true to life. Living in Japan, I have a few Japanese friends that don't speak English, but understand it. I can speak Japanese, but find English easier if I can speak it. We end up just speaking our native languages to each other because we understand the other's just fine, and it's faster to communicate that way, and easier for us to communicate complex thoughts. I'm sure it comes off as weird to many people, but it happens quite a bit in real life. Love your videos! Keep up the good work.

The language thing is pretty common. It's a lot harder to speak a language than translate it in your head, so a lot of people in situations like that will just speak their language and the other person speaks theirs, rather than try to stumble through whatever common tongue they might have

[@davidsenra2495]

That happens only when there are two or three people in a conversation, and they are all fluent to all languages involved. There's no way everyone on the ship (they are not English speakers also) would learn Mandarin (super difficult for westerners) and a top scientist from China wouldn't be able to learn English.

[@analyzeeverything6121]

You pretty much spoke perfectly about my thoughts about this movie. This channel is seriously becoming one of my favorites.

[@palikaloz]

"The guy from Bridesmaids" You surely meant the IT Crowd...

[@TheSkuvnar]

So the stuff with Hamilton's husband was pretty clearly shot after the fact. That's why all the stuff that links the spacestation plot to the Cloverfield universe is on the tv or radio, because it wasn't in the script. I think they got a shot of the german guy talking about the paradox, but other than that, it was all shoehorned in. That's why the stuff on earth is in a car at night or in a bunker. Also, the filmmakers don't know what paradox means.

[@yassasloan7308]

TheSkuvnar whats worse is that you don't know what paradox means in this context. Paradox in this movie follows the scientific definition, which is used quite often in quantum mechanics describing contradiction between theory sets. In this case, the movie was spot on to use this word.

[@farisfuad1150]

The whole film IS a PARADOX. I guess that's the point lol

[@chrislatam5423]

But... that is not like paradox works

[@zachariasprice3762]

Cookie ?

[@GuardianOfMoon]

Ive been stressed at my work, just that time of the year, and I've been listening to your reviews over and over again. Just wanted to share that your voice and wit is really helpful while I work through my heavy workload. I've listened to this one, Junkrat, Bright, and Harry Potter ones the most.

[@yonatanrotbach1722]

6:50 they actually show in the movie that he overrides the 3D printer's security protocols before he prints the gun. Not that I'm trying to defend the shitty movie, but it is explained how he was able to do it.

[@mxviii]

Yeah, but its like...how though? Whats the point of a security protocol if it can be overridden? Like all he does is punch in some keys. What kind of security protocol is that? Lazy mcguffin is lazy

[@MikeTall88]

Why are the blueprints uploaded at all?? There is no reason.

[@ChrisPTenders]

My sister and I came up with a more interesting plot to connect the other two movies within five minutes of finishing this piece of trash. JJ can have his cake and eat it too, he just has to make sure the movie he absorbs into his "cloververse" is actually good and makes sense on a basic narrative level, and then he can contrive whatever reasons he wants to force fit them into the ARG meta narrative (which I think is cool cause I'm not a snob with my nose up my own ass ;P). I will happily accept any flick with the clues to connect it to the others provided the film itself is at least good. The first two are masterpieces of character and tension, and they did the unsettling background meta stuff perfectly. Here, screw it. This movie should take place in one reality. It should be about the dark side of the moon. In like the 60's they discovered the moon had Martian tech embedded in it. Now, in 2008, we finally have come to understand their technology to the point we can begin to interact with the alien tech. The crew sent up to experiment with it discover it's a probe sending signals to Mars, pretty much observing the inhabitants of earth. Our crew unlocks a facility deep within the moon, and the Tagruato company gives the shady character some shady immoral directive to screw over the other members of the crew. They discover the aliens have a biological weapon that can destroy the population of the earth, and the company, surprise surprise, wants a sample for themselves. Plot twist, they find an alien in suspended animation, they let it out as a last screw-you to the shady guy who has been killing off the crew with the weird alien facility defense tech they found in an attempt to keep the shade on the down low. The alien doesn't seem hostile until the shady guy tries to kill it, then the alien goes nuts and tries to kill everyone left alive at that point - then, as the lead protagonist discovers, apparently the alien has started sending a signal back to Mars. The last survivors of the crew decide to blow up the facility and escape on a pod to a nearby space station (maybe the survivors disagree about the moral implications of halting human progression by cutting off their only resource to advanced alien technology, but they agree the signal will likely spell the end of humanity, or spark a war we have no chance of winning - could be called The Cloverfield Signal instead, cause screw a paradox). As the moon facility explodes, the pod is damaged and crashes into the satellite. This explains how Howard finds out about the conspiracy to hide the Martian attack (cause he worked on satellites), why a satellite crashes in the sea and wakes up the sea monsters, and why there's an alien invasion 8 years later. And it could easily be a good movie with some cool cucumber character development and a director who knows how to build tension.

[@angelamediano8185]

Chris Carbine now that’s what I call a movie

[@DJWeapon8]

You need to be a goddamn writer.

[@rabbidsquerllz13]

This is pretty much the plot of Prometheus

[@MortyKaiShalom]

Dylan - my thought, as well, lol. Still, would have been better than what we got. At least the above, wouldn't be making a movie based on obscure science theories, the average person likely hasn't heard of, in an attempt to explain where the monsters came from. Were they trying to copy Pacific Rim with the opening a hole into another dimension crap?

[@babsaiih]

Alien/Prometheus called, they want their story back. Also it's not supposed to be all in one universe, they have too many differences. In 10 Cloverfield Lane, they would immediately believe it was Aliens if Clover was already a thing.

[@TheHero136]

This movie tried so hard to be Alien........and failed miserably!

[@lv-wj6ex]

TheHero136 that wasn't the idea for the movie

[@the_ninja_piggy7020]

Because Alien is great

[@shannontrf]

I think it took some inspiration for the design of the movie but thats where the similarity ends, the nods to alien were one of the few good bits

[@jessesaysthebword5513]

TheHero136 it's a thriller that happens in space but thats really the only similarity between the two movies, they kind of have two completely different tones or moods.

[@nightmarefreddykrueger121]

Expect there WAS NO FUCKING ALIEN

Your rants are the best dude, thanks for making work interesting!

Why didn't they just make 20 Cloverfield Street?

"just because this shit is going to Netflix doesn't mean you don't have to proofread the script" Fucking yes! I saw this the day after it came out and then I texted my friend who had also seen it and this is exactly what we said!

More like the borefilled failure amirite?

I laughed quite a few times in this but never so more than when you said "She left the oven on or something and they blew up"

[@nicholasleclerc1583]

7:30 "... that's gonna be important later when the movie's being stupid" looool !!!

[@chadthaddeus]

"the guy from bridesmaids"?? Have you not seen The IT Crowd?? You're missing out on something genuinely great if you haven't. It's 25 episodes, all available on Netflix

[@gnarkillguch]

Austin Middleton Classic series.

[@dertlash]

Or even Moone Boy, and Irish comedy that he wrote/created. The guy's hilarious

[@Crimson_Tango]

11:54 They say they decide not to go to that earth because it's not their Earth, everything had already fallen apart there, and if they didn't get back home their Earth will suffer the same fate. But yea this movie sucked.

[@HOOAH13579]

I'm a simple man...I see Marcus upload, I click on it.

[@nyg974ever29]

Fucking BOOT

[@SmokeLikeABossOG]

She left the oven on. Best line ever.

[@danguillou713]

About printing guns. It’s really hard, because those printers don’t really create high strength materials like you need for the barrel and the chamber where the ammo is supposed to sit while it explodes and sends the bullet forward. But even if the spaceship printer is some Tony Stark level super gizmo that prints high performance metal alloys, it won’t work. Because 3-D printers can’t print explosives into beeing. They can’t make ammo.

[@legacy_the_archer]

you know whats a better prequel to clover feild than this. " Life " the alien even kinda looked like the creature

[@tritone2276]

Tim West yeah a bunch of folks have been saying this is just a less cohesive "Life"

[@mileesmorales104]

Ending was so stupid

Jus the ending?! The whole Gort dam film was dumb. Written by Derp Benedict. Produced by Derp Bogart. Directed by Derp Douglas. Released by Paraderp. A Derp Robot Production.

*Its offical: Hollywood thinks we're Idiots*

[@bertov12]

I'm so happy I found this channel. THanks for the hours of content I"m about to watch.

[@bloodrunsclear]

This literally made more sense in Event Horizon when the answer was 'Hell is a dimension inside a black hole'

[@ZukoPrince]

I really don't think that final part of Cloverfield Lane 10 was "the bad parts". It was unexpected, but it was nice subversion of the genre and still cool ending, with nice character development. I really don't understand why this is a bad thing.

[@warbossgegguz679]

Andriano It was a subversion, sure... but at the end of the day it's a film about family.

[@ZukoPrince]

Secular Ascetic same question- why is this a bad thing?

[@pyroshell5652]

I actually like that part. I thought it was a good payoff.

[@warbossgegguz679]

Andriano It's just a meme bro. Also, to actually answer, a subversion isn't good when it makes the plot less interesting. If the end had been more ambiguous or less of a blatant attempt to tie the two together, it would have been more interesting. Instead it subverts your expectations by making the plot less complex. "WOAH, he was right! How shocking!"

[@ZukoPrince]

Secular Ascetic but it is more interesting, and more complex, with that "He was right" ending. It isn't ruined all bunker stuff, that happened before, AND give paths to new interesting stories. It isn't like Last Jedi situation, when fans even before movie had expectation, that wasn't meet, because of subversion. Why this concrete subversion in Lane 10 makes plot less interesting? It would be better, if he wasn't right? I don't understand this.

[@ScottieSobel]

I love how Marcus keeps referring to Wall Lady as "Brienne of Tarth" or "Captain Phasma" when Wall Lady isn't played by Gwendoline Christie. I feel like Marcus knows this but continues to do it anyway and it makes me giggle.

[@El_oh7199]

Scottie Sobel they are both super tall, so.....

[@tlou2sprettygood547]

they look kinda similar yeah

[@jagripino]

Dude. I simply love your videos. You rock man!

[@Mathee]

The way cosmic horror generally works is that you give just enough details for the audience to come to their own conclusions without giving a definite answer, knowing that whatever the audience imagines will be more horrifying than anything you could put on the screen. You can't just throw everything at the screen and say that it's supposed to make sense

[@Lucknitro]

I love the clover man he’s great

[@TheCephalon]

JJ Abrams is vastly overrated. He's not a bad director. He's good. But everyone thinks he's great when he's not

[@Machu3000]

TheCephalon JJ Abrams didn't direct this movie

[@cornjobb]

it's an opinion you've got there. every asshole has one.

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

I agree; Abrams is overrated. He keeps taking stuff that seems good and ruining them. And yet they keep giving him stuff to ruin. Wait until he ruins the Half-Life and Portal movies. 🤦

[@jonathann2116]

I have one more complaint with the movie. So she goes down to shuttle to her earth with all the plans, but then she decides to kill everyone instead and just steal the ship. But she didn't need to do that...she already had the plans and the research

[@stephengrant4841]

Jonanator she explains this i think, saying they couldnt afford to create another particle accelerator.

[@tlou2sprettygood547]

yeah or that they might not have enough time to build a new one before the world basically ended

[@nickle52003]

6:50 I though he overrode the security settings on the 3D printer. 3D printed guns has been a thing for a while now. So i'd imagine that in 2028 it can be perfected this way.

[@tylerkluttz3688]

In all honesty Why couldn't they have been more subtle about the premise of the movie? Even just cutting out the news broadcast from the final product would've worked...

[@verinonrenthar9176]

It’s the studio’s fault that these movies are getting “Cloverfielded”, not JJ. Crew makes a movie, studio doesn’t have faith the final product, they call in JJ, and bam, it’s Cloverfield now.
