Cowboy trucker guy owes them a debt (and didn't actually want to fight but got stuck there). Weird hive mind guys are just bored. And of course, lizard man hates the villain for killing his people.

Rebel Moon genuinely reminds me of one of those rip-off Sci-fi Channel original movies that are on at midnight starring some past it action star from the 1990s who is now about five stone heavier. But the thing is, those movies are made for a quid. The studio probably isn't making much of a loss on ''Star Trek Wars vs Super Shark.'' But with Rebel Moon the exact opposite is true. This cost a lot of money to make and almost certainly will not make most of that back.

One of the things that stuck out to me was in the ship's coal room, when she shoots the guard and he falls, they show one of the workers catch his body as it rolls down... why show that? It's not a big deal but it makes me side with those guys over the protag. It's basically a smaller version of the medics scene earlier. I guess it's on a similar line but with the scene with the princess getting shot, i find it odd she's unsure about shooting. Maybe i'm missing the point but i would think having her either be a cold killer (brainwash/conditioned type of thing) or have her fail at helping the princess escape and resulting in a having to do a mercy kill (not that it makes sense). The latter would require changing up the scene, which is probably for the better. You could probably say that about a lot of the scenes, a few (or many) changes and it could, maybe, work. I get it has to be the big bad empire but replacing the empire general with a rogue/bandit (ex-/empire) captain would of probably fit better. Ignoring the details, it seemed like a perfect setup for a fractured empire where any amount of resources is a must. I recently watched Seven Samuari (or re-watched) and holy hell, 40 bandits (with 3 matchlock rifles) seem far more dangerous than a giant spaceship and an army. Like damn, the guns are actually a threat and the shifting of balance between the numerous villagers and armed bandits was great (like the bandits are a threat until they are isolated and swarmed by the villagers). I didn't know who was safe as it seemed like anyone could die. And then the ending, that it really didn't feel like a victory. That said, the grain scenes could have done with some slow-mo shots.

@@sedrie34 Yeah, I meant the water splish splashers in Wakanda Forever, I misremembered what the instrument was.

Aside from that, best case scenario, it's a Resident Evil puzzle (play Taiko/Rock Band to gain entry). The background musicians are absurd at worst, they don't nuke worldbuilding like hooking up the very essential shield system of your country to a drumset does.

So these Roylaist Robots who serve the King, he didn't have them as part of his Royal bodyguard detail? If Antony Robotkins had been there he'd probably still be alive

I am so, so happy to see Random Film Talk on this panel. Haven't even seen 2 minutes and yet I'm already loving it.

[@MGsubbie]

I just said he deserves to be invited onto EFAP on his stream and got informed he did in fact already get invited. Very happy to see it.

[@crimsonpotemkin]

This is probably the last nail in the coffin for Snyder's career. He pulled a M Night Shyamalama-ding-dong. But worse, because his movies are terrible but also long and super boring. I'd much rather watch an M Night movie. I can watch After Earth on repeat, it's an endless font of laughter.

[@sparkypack]

speaking of M Night Shyamalan, he's back tho...

The “Lmao” got me 😂

I'm tempted to go back in the comment section of the open bar episode when they discussed Zack's Rogan interview and ask his defenders "So... have you seen Rebel Moon 2?"... 😂😂😂

If slow-mo was an actual person, Zack Snyder would have started an entire dynasty with how much he loves it.

[@Kyle-sr6jm]

If slo-mo was a person, Zack would be him, and his own grandfather

Wasn’t it revealed that the “Release The Snyder Cut” movement on Twitter was fueled by bot farms? Anyway, no reason why I bring that up after seeing all these “people” defending Rebel Moon and Snyder as a director….

[@HectorLopez0217]

I thought the title “Scargiver” would be a redo of Batman branding people where Kora leaves one as a calling card, but in Snyder fashion it’s poorly thought out and written

[@thatdarnkitteh]

Ay she left one on Peakynazi's chest! Rolllll credits!

[@HySteria909]

That would make sense though...

[@bordocofrivia2896]

Slow motion igniting of grain lightsabers wielded by the "blood lickers" who are edgy robo humans dressed in all black, spiky My chemical romance shirts and ripped jeans. Zack Snyder, dont let me down.

Are you saying Snyder is writing the sequel to My Immortal?

Snyder does it again, a suspicious lack of doggo on the panel #ReleaseTheRagsCut

[@Shino2288]

3:45:07 Also how can the officer identify the intruder is a woman that quickly, amidst all the gunfighting and in a semi-dark environment? Kora is also sporting the same hairstyle as the soldiers! ZS missed a golden opportunity here. The officer should have identified the intruder as a man (which makes more logical sense), gets shot in the back, and Kora saying this line while standing over his body. "I am no man." 😂

[@matthewconroy5275]

You know it’s bad when Fringy says he’d rather watch Quantumania instead. It’s really hilarious that they did the whole main “hero” tries to surrender to the baddies to save everyone. When every one of the “heroes” backstories is we made a deal with them and then they killed everyone I love

[@YousefHussein-xk5ev]

When did he say that

[@earthlingcarl3179]

Star Wars made sense with the plans for Death Star being super important and warranting Darth Vadar and the Empire hunting for them but this grain stuff is just really silly. Can't believe they couldn't have thought of something better.

[@alexhayden219]

4:13:16 In terms of Ed Skrein just having an evil face, that might be entirely it. Is he ever not a villain? In Alita he was literally just his evil face put onto a robot body.

[@dorianshepard2841]

Fringy unintentionally reminded me of the 96 power rangers movie where Adam receives the totem of the frog, and he's disappointed at first but learns to appreciate it

[@leriava]

I've seen several reviews say the image of admiral Noble at the beginning looks like Christ on the cross but to me it looks more like the Vitruvian Man by Da Vinci because of the circle around Noble and the cables connecting him to the machine

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

You ever seen the ending of Up The Academy where they pause, rewind, and slow down the movie over and over again? That's this movie.

[@Grave1383]

They milled the grain to put into sacks. Flour explodes when scattered. So after it blocks one shot and gets dispersed into the air the person behind it returns fire and promptly erupts into a fireball.

[@TheWaterdog6]

Snyder: "It is really hard to get the movie I want made, unlike other movies that have done the same thing I am saying is impossible, because studio interference." Also Snyder: "I am the Writer, producer, screen writer, director, visionary, very smart, cinematographer and have more credits than the actors." Snyder interview: "I avoid criticism online, its a dark place. I tend to only let close friends and people who agree with me preview my work. If you throw criticism at me I am going to ignore it and use more test groups instead because I am a thin skinned bitch that makes edgy movies."

Gunnar's backstory flashback for why he's fighting should have been scenes from the start of the first movie in slow-motion

[@pondoorwastaken]

I love the line in the Making Of video that accompanied the Rebel Moon release. "We have wholly original characters" hmmm -Main character with a dark past trying to run away from/atone for their sins -Love interest in their new home that can see past the darkness in their past -Literally Conan the Barbarian -Katana-wielding asian assassin lady -Disgraced, drunken general trying to run away from/atone for the deaths of his men after his final battle went horribly wrong Yep! totally original characters, never once have I seen these guys anywhere else.

[@stigmaoftherose]

I didnt even know the released part 2 in fact its kinda shocking it came out so fast after the first part with no buildup.

[@superfuss1984]

Zack got a New Genre running: The Mockborer.... 🤷‍♀️

[@little_sleepy_lee]

Gunnar’s decision to kick off the battle to save sCaRgiVEr reminded me of Rose saving Finn from saving the rebels in the Last Jedi A decision made “in love” which would cost so many lives. The tragedy LOL

[@ianjohnson182]

I can't wait for the second part of the 6 movie trilogy when a village of pastoral herders are harassed by the space empire to use their 1000 cows to make butter, or the village of peaceful millers are threatened into grinding the grain into flour, or the village of peasants who have to use solar evaporation pools to make salt, or the village of beekeepers so that the empire can finally have some sugar for their bread.

[@IstariAzul777]

‘The grain montage’ lol

Everyone watching this at 0.25 speed for the true Snyder experience?

[@superfuss1984]

Sure there are some Depressive Masochists out there...

[@aaronmueller1560]

The “- Lmao” at the end of the title is great, but you did miss out on the opportunity to call it “A complete mental breakdown of…”

Yes, I was really looking forward for this movie just because of this EFAP. Good ol Rebell Muun

[@corycrandell2682]

So the farm is big enough to feed an intergalactic army but it is small enough to be farmed by hand and horse? And all they eat is bread? And coal? Really? The ships run on steam? How? And they shovel it by hand? No robots? How does that not burn up all the oxygen on the ship? And where do they get the water? And where do the keep the massive amounts of coal they need to run a ship that size? And how do they.... oh nevermind....

[@brockdavid]

The only equivalence I could come up with how ridiculous the ‘Scargiver’ is, as a title, or horrendous nickname from a cliche whitey villain, it would be like if Darth Vader called Obi Wan, Ben ‘Barbecue’ Kenobi. When he saw him in Episode IV A New Hope.

[@doofkoof7193]

2:46:17 Noble was incredibly fair until he was lied to. Remember he was quite generous to the villagers at the start, only wanting what the village had to spare, and offering triple the price they would normally sell it for. He also offered free robotics and machinery to help the village produce more, and ease their burdens. It wasn't until Gunnar said Modok had been lying to him that he got upset, and all murdery.

[@FrostWolf52849]

I don't feel like there was quite enough slow motion grain shots in this film. Hopefully there's a full hour of them harvesting grain in the directors cut, then the movie will be great

[@CruelestChris]

It was like half the film was the second half of an ad for UNICEF.

[@christophergirardi8145]

I watched Grain: A Zack Snyder Story last night. Not a bad agriculture documentary.

[@ProjectRedfoot]

The drinking of the water was my favorite part.

[@s13gouf60]

Rebel moon should kill off any remaining belief in Snyder's non-existent talent. I hope everyone involved got well paid because this film could be career ending.

I think the actors are ok, some of their agents are fuct, Snyder is fuct.
