@@ceciliaspriester1633 My complaint isn’t that the computer wouldn’t think of the solution, it’s that he was going so fast that he wouldn’t have time to recalculate. Even if we grant that he did have time (which again is completely illogical) it would have been faster to use a calculator to make these calculations instead. The main issue is the speed, they don’t explain how fast “hyperspeed” is but the visuals make it appear to be near the speed of light. If he’s going so fast that he needs those 3 rings to slow him down enough to land then how could he have anytime to do the calculations at all?

I think my favorite theory about Future Buzz being Zurg is that he actually isn't the real Zurg. Remember Future Buzz just found this stuff after traveling at warp speed for who knows how long and how far. So it's entirely possible that he just stumbled onto one of the actual Zurg's ships in the Gamma Quadrant,stole it and used it to travel back in time.

[@caramelcandys]

That could be a great set up for another movie, buzz meets the real zurg and buzz is all like “how did future me come back” and zurg just blasts at him

[@gr13v0u5]

Why would there need to be a "real" Zurg? The Zurg in this movie works well enough on his own in the context and tone of this universe. If there is a sequel, I see Zurg becoming obsessed with getting back at Buzz for taking away his chance at "finishing the mission", possibly killing one of his teammates to lead Buzz on a path of revenge that he eventually gives up on when he realizes that he's becoming just like him. It would be a much more interesting dynamic than just the cliché saturday morning cartoon hero/villain back-and-forth that their toy and cartoon versions had in Toy Story and BLoSC.

So definitely not a kids movie, but kids can still enjoy it if for no other reason than sox is funny and robots are cool. Second, I love that when Buzz finds out Alisha is engaged he instantly asks "What's HER name?" no awkward moment of Buzz finding out she's gay, if they're as close as they are then there's a good chance he would already know, or in this world it's normal to prefer the same sex. Was a little detail I loved.

[@erichfiedler1481]

When I watched Lightyear I couldn't get over the feeling that we learned so little about the people marooned, not even learning what they called the settlement as far as I remember (or even the vine thing or where they were originally meant to be going) then I wondered if there was much point in caring about whether Buzz succeeded or not. Having watched this I get the impression that was the point; Buzz was so obsessed with fixing his "mistake" that he didn't care about the settlement or the people, just "fixing things" when in the end it wasn't necessary. I did wonder if the film would be improved by Alisha telling Buzz about how the settlement develops whenever he returns or he had some interaction with her family but I think that would have undermined his fixation.

[@ericbambach3222]

@@michaelvigil3436 For a 90's toy based off of a movie, the mismatch between toy and movie is one of the most realistic things they could have done. The differences could be blamed on the toy being based off of an earlier design, such as concept art, assuming the toy maker was trusted enough to get an authentic design. (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, which came out in 1993, had a toy of the titular "Phantasm" with said toy being sold without their mask on. The mystery of who the character's identity was a key plot point of the movie. Whoops.) Also, as much of an improvement as Buzz's electronic recordings were over Woody's pull string, it's still very much 90's electronics squeezed into a fairly small action figure. The audio quality would be lacking, at best, even with the assumption that the toy maker would not get a cheaper substitute to record lines.

I loved Lightyear, it was a pretty fun movie to watch! i especially loved that they added that subtitle in the beginning adding a little bit of Toy Story's lore to this movies story!

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

I was genuinely surprised by its adept commentary on failure and chasing a goal too much.

[@tragicwonder1035]

I started watching Lightyear with the intention of doing homework while doing so. I got 10 minutes in and had to restart the movie because I was getting so hooked! This movie was incredible, and I loved how they explored each character. I spent a good bit of time torturing myself with the 1 star reviews afterwards because I couldn't understand how ANYONE could really hate this movie. It's SUPPOSED to be different from Toy Story, even if it might be connected. I love seeing an ally make some light fun of all the outrage that this less than a second lesbian kiss seemed to spark. Thank you for using your platform to spread some love and respect for all shapes and sizes of people!

Fun fact: The Director of this built every ship with LEGO 1st during the drafting stages due to a dislike of how most 3D sci-fi ships looks way to thin for what they need to be (Learned this from a vid where he & Adam Savage built the LEGO set for Lightlyear's ship)

[@AlexReynard]

Maybe he should have asked for a better ending instead of playing with Legos.

[@LineOfThy]

@@AlexReynard The writing and design departments are two different things y'know?

[@RedDragonForce2]

A few things of note, which could be pointed out as “this movie, that movie” trope, but I love the continuity from the straight to VHS movie for the spin-off tv show 20-ish years ago. Buzz losing a partner and not wanting to bring in newbies on a dangerous mission. Zerg wanting to enforce his will on the Space Rangers (mind control vs time travel… meh). Evil Buzz, which was actually in the show from another universe/timeline. The mission logs no one reads. And others besides. Considering THIS chronologically came before the TV Movie “In Universe”, it would make sense. Just thought I’d share my memory of the old movie and the similarities I noticed when watching this movie.

[@brockragni1053]

5:18 Buzz's default fight pose is so funny that it's cool.

[@brodycdxx2554]

The falling with style button does make sense I think. Since Andy loved the movie and that’s what got him into buzz, then he prolly watched the movie with woody and saw that button. It’s almost a paradox of what came first the chicken or the egg lol

[@dr.jotarorobotnick813]

Genuinely don't understand why people didn't like this movie, it's so friggin good

[@iantaggart3064]

I've been saying that about every Disney and Pixar movie for at LEAST five years.

I love that there are lights inside the helmets because movie space suits have to have lights in the helmets.

[@Tomcatt817]

3:10 Regardless of what is officially reported, you could put in a cartridge and it would not work, you could take it out again and put it back in, and it would not work, you could take it out, blow on it, put it back in, and it would work. My theory was that it was not about dust, but the moisture from your breath on the contacts that would make it work, as blowing hard was less likely to work than a gentle blowing.

[@KallMeKomi]

In a world filled with criticism that simultaneous helps movies but also prevents people from just enjoying them, I'm glad that this channel exists.

[@AntThePianoMan]

That's why we should all just enjoy something without the Internet and especially Reddit telling people to dislike something. Do yourselves a favor everyone, enjoy what you enjoy.

[@emorobin3901]

Lightyear was awesome, you did it the justice it deserved after all the hate it’s gotten. Also you should cover a Starkid play, they’re all hilarious and CRIMINALLY underrated

[@AinsleySunny]

I agree on a spiritual level with this comment

[@matityaloran9157]

18:06, people expected it to be more like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

[@alisonsouter8788]

That is true.

[@alisonsouter8788]

However it has been established that Pixar had disapproved of the Buzz Lightyear of star command tv series, they didn’t even make the show so I can see why they made the movie.

[@jcrprod.co.6973]

2:50 - The fact that the catchphrase is supposed to be done with another person retroactively makes the goodbye scene in Toy Story so much sadder (but doesn't improve the movie much). 16:47 - "Not today Zurg!" made this movie an instant classic for me. How dare you not win that! 18:51 - I kinda wish this movie was a tiny bit longer for that reason. 20:19 - I FREAKING LOVED KEKE PALMER IN THIS!!!

[@gunnarc1113]

Quick correction too late for anyone to see, it isn't "blowing dust into them" that was the problem with blowing into NES cartridges, it's moisture from your breath corroding the metal contacts and shorten their life span. Short term gain (it will clear dust) but long term cost (faster breakdown). I was told to just plug and unplug the cartridge a few times to clear dust from them.

[@matityaloran9157]

2:41, that’s also what Buzz asked Santa Claus in the Christmas Special

[@johnmatusewic]

I've learned that I enjoy movies more if I watch your take on them first. Now I can go watch Lightyear. Thanks for another great video!

[@TheNukedNacho]

I can’t help but think that Old Buzz’s line here 14:57 is a reference to TR-8R from Force Awakens. That, or I’m just too much of a SW fan And I think the sound of the computer rebooting on Zurg’s ship is the same one in Wall-E when the little guy gets Solar charged.

[@emilybriand9453]

The bots from zurg are like the tfp troopers when megs is mad

[@JaqAttaq5]

As one who appreciated Moonfall for what it offered and loved watching the CinemaWins video, all the Moonfall reference jokes were much appreciated 👍

[@Steelxl]

The truth about the NES blowing cartridge is it did help but not the blowing part. The thing that work was adjusting the cartridge to align with the NES port. Taking it out repeat would eventually align the sensor through shear luck. And thus the myth was born.

[@stu729]

And the actual problem with blowing on the connector of the cartridge was that you introduced more moisture onto the connector, bringing corrosion, which would make a worse connection in the long run.

8:21... Star Trak! Yay! You pronounced it exactly the way I do to annoy my Star Wars friends, pretending to confuse names/places/things (pro/nouns) with Sart Trek.

[@jongon0848]

I think the reason this film got a lot of hate was because it ignored the Star Command series lore (I never saw it, so it didn't bother me)

[@BatAmerica]

Acknowledging the unnecessary controversy aside, I remember, with stars in my eyes, observing Buzz's journey when he flew through the time tunnel. Every element of why I love Buzz Lightyear is on clear display, from Buzz's courage to his empathy. The animation uses similar techniques to live-action in a way I've never seen in a Pixar film. When attempting to land, he also displays the necessary resourcefulness that reinforces why the audience should take him seriously. It was a thematic highpoint of this film, and I wish the rest of his story held similar thematic depth.

[@spoopyboi1882]

YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONNECT WITH FOR YEARS NOW THANK YOU. I watched Idle Hands with my dad when i was like 6 or so, before he passed. After he passed i never knew the name of it and couldn't find it again, and thanks to your comment i have. So thank you for that, it's one of my favorite memories of my time with him

[@Sum_Guy]

15:48 you just had to ruin a perfectly good saturday evening by remining me of Bing Bong

with izzy jumping into space the lesson is “the scariest path is sometimes the best path”

[@noremac926]

Everything Great About The Prince of Egypt PLEASE!!!

[@marshmallowsilk3789]

Also something I pick up on watching this movie was the line Izzy has when she messes up. When someone else screws up, it's "just a mistake" but when it's your mistake that suddenly becomes a massive deal. Not gonna lie that (well the whole message throughout the film really but, that line in particular) really hit home.

[@TheSameGoobyGuy]

Imagine in the second movie, Zurg makes an evil clone of Buzz and they have the same confrontation seen in toy story 2

[@rezal2020]

Really liked this movie, I really hope it gets a sequel :D Great video as always, you have a way of ramping up my enthusiasm for a film 10 fold ^.^

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

Honestly, while I grew up with the TV Series, I did enjoy this too

[@jdashimusprime]

20:13 yeah, agreed, I've loved every single one of his projects such as small fry which is my all time favourite toy story short

[@Lionlover666]

Taika as mo is such a good cast. He is hilarious. "I GOT THE PEN!"

[@Jwsponky]

I have to admit, time shenanigans aside, I don't think this movie is that BAD, but the original Buzz Lightyear movie and accompanying cartoon are MARKEDLY better.

[@timebolt8836]

You should do a counter on how many times you said Featheringhamstan

[@AndreiFierbinteanu]

You mentioned seeing Izzy's reflection in the hemlet, but you can also see Buzz's, in the beginning, right in the scene you showed of him exploring the planet.

[@sleepylionking1103]

Sox saying “don’t miss.” gets me for some reason. Like, it’s almost an clever way to tell someone that they got this and you believe in them. Sox is a win.

[@SoonerView]

I 100% agree with your conclusion. I heard all the negative comments about it so I waited till it came out on D+ and I really enjoyed it.

[@_thomas1031]

Absolutely loved this film, so happy that so many people appreciate it as well🙌

[@buzzytrombone4353]

The only thing I remember from this film was an ASMR 7 hour long video of Sox doing the white noise. Probably the best character in the movie by far.

[@MistahJsArcade]

the "Blowing into a nintendo cartridge" thing was a double edged sword. the moisture from your breath gave a temporary boost to the conductivity between the game and systems electrical contacts, making the unresponsive game work.....however, that same moisture accelerated the corrosion of those contact points, making it a downward spiral of diminishing returns. Every time you would blow on an unresponsive game to get it to work, it became more and more unresponsive. isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab, cleaning both game and system contact points (while unplugged obviously) and letting it completely dry is your best bet for longevity in your cartridge based games.
