Ready Player One | Pitch Meeting Vs. Honest Trailer Reaction

Thanks Gene!! Appreciate you!!

I think Ryan made a mistake here. Olivia was absolutely crucial to their plan for the 3rd key. If they hadn’t released her, she wouldn’t’ve been able to deactivate the impenetrable barrier and then it’s “Game over, man! Game Over!”.

[@OnMyMindEntertainment]

[@rafaelpando7052]

The pitch meeting wins this for me simply because of the writer discussing all the jabs about ads and evil businessmen wanting to make money with a Hollywood producer of all people.

[@OnMyMindEntertainment]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@Gwolf303]

Personally I think this pitch meeting was rather inaccurate because a lot of the stuff that happened in this movie that gets called out by the producer had a lot of very logical and realistic explanations explained. Granted it was still hilarious which is the important part in all honestly.

[@afterwit3620]

I thought the overall vibe of the film was soulless commercialism, best exemplified by the fact that the Iron Giant was fighting. The moral struggle of the robot was the core tension of The Iron Giant, and his willingness to sacrifice himself to save the people he cared about (and rejecting his intended design as a weapon) was incredibly moving. In this movie? His entire role in the film revolved around him fighting. It - among many other things - left a bad taste in my mouth.

[@OnMyMindEntertainment]

That's actually a good point. That may be why I didn't love the film, soulless commercialism. Never thought of that.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

@@OnMyMindEntertainment well, it's also a film about fandom, online communities and open ended intersection of properties. So it makes structural sense, anyway. In the novel it was a set of Gundams and Supaidaman's robot Leopardon, instead.

[@SebasTian58323]

It's also not really the Iron Giant, it's a mech that looks like the iron Giant made by H. And the iron Giant is perfectly willing to sacrifice himself for what he loves.

[@helloasa9296]

You know that's not Iron Giant character? That's Iron Giant avatar in video game. This is like when we play Spiderman or Batman type games and try to do uncharacteristic stuff.

[@afterwit3620]

@@helloasa9296 You're right, and I'll admit I'm being somewhat picky, but my main thought is that the film (and the book as well, I suppose) stands firmly on including characters simply to enrich it's success with a vast array of nostalgic key-jingling. I don't know that the author was trying for that when he wrote it (he might have simply thought it would be cool), but the end result feels like it rides on the backs of superior original works to make it's own success happen. A dystopia escaped by way of vr isn't revolutionary as a core concept, and without the crop of the included genre properties I think it's safe to say the story would not have enjoyed anywhere near the success it has seen.

[@SentinalSlice]

The book was great! The first key was changed though. But I guess someone playing Joust on an arcade machine isn’t as exciting as a car race.

I preferred the book as well. You could really feel that it was the author's love letter to the 80s. The movie misses the book's heart.

That makes sense. I have started the second book. Took some time away from it, but need to get back to it and finish.

I love Ready Player One. It’s probably the second most watched movie ever for me. I watch it once a week.

The book is so much better then the movie (I experienced it through audio book), you should definitely check out the book.

[@James-rm7sr]

Pitch Meeting wins this hands down to me. The movie was enjoyable, but I recall watching it the first time and seeing all the plot holes.

[@darcanjel7]

I feel the same way. I was super hyped for this movie and walked out feeling "meh". It was just okay. Something was missing. It probably would of helped if the pop references interacted more. They were just...there. If Freddy or Chucky would've spoke or hung around for more than a second I would probably had connected more. They felt like all of those extras in Space Jam 2. Just there, but not really feeling like their actual selves if you know what I mean.

[@bronks1200]

The book was way better the oasis wasn’t just a video game the way this movie made it look. It was the internet and became an essential to life.

[@OnMyMindEntertainment]

Well that makes more sense.

[@danbasford7456]

@@OnMyMindEntertainment There where schools, churches, shopping malls, movie theaters, and people can make their own worlds or even childhood homes for hanging out in. I would love to have a real Oasis. The book is a must read.

I still need to watch The Shining another fun video is the Hishe dubbed version of ready player one extremely funny

[@jessewilson5510]

It wasn't just you Mike. Despite the awesome pop culture references, it just felt...soulless. Empty and hollow. Like at the end when the bad guy opens the back of the van, and Parcival has tears in his eyes from his experience with Holliday's ghost-avatar---and I felt absolutely nothing. Like, why is he crying? What was so emotional that just occurred that you couldn't contain the tears? It was strange for a Spielberg movie to have no heart. Even his cheesiest movies had heart. This had none of that.

[@mohammed-hisham]

I read the book and the movie isn't adapting it entirely, but its definitely a good read I read the second book that came out recently and its trash, hope they do justice in the movie

"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Lmao I agree with you about this movie. Like it wanted to be epic but it doesn't pull it off. My kids liked it though

[@OnMyMindEntertainment]

Lol!!!!

[@SebasTian58323]

I really enjoyed both the movie and the book for ready player one. I listened to the audio book before I watched the movie. In the book, Percival wasn't some Hot guy, he was an average looking guy who was overweight at the beginning of the book. Later, he got into shape over the course of months, by locking himself out of the Oasis after a certain amount of time passed and he used that time to work out, eat healthier and get in shape. And The OASIS wasn't pay to win. If anything it was the opposite. You earned real money by playing the game, and if you lost money in the game, you lost it in real life. You can buy real things from inside the game, and fake things. You can go to school in the game, with real teachers. It's not just a game. IOI was literally going to put ads on like 85% of the screens of the characters, because that's how much they could put without causing seizures. The first challenge wasn't the race in the book either. It was finding one dungeon on a table l remote planet and then going through the dungeon, full of deadly traps, made after an infamous dungeon from dungeons and dragons. Wade was also the one they took in the book. How would the game know who found the Easter eggs in the real world? It's inside the game so no one can cheat, and just lie about finding it.

[@OnMyMindEntertainment]

So, if the movie really followed the book, we'd have a different looking movie on our hands huh?

[@SebasTian58323]

@@OnMyMindEntertainment yeah, even the way Wade got the extra life is extremely different. It's a fun movie, but it's surprising how much was changed, and still managed to keep to the overall plot pretty well.

[@danbasford7456]

Ready Player One and WW Z are great examples of amazing books being made into mediocre cash grabs. I was actually disappointed that they left out the back story for H. A gay, black teenage girl who was homeless because her mom kicked her out. It was an actual painful and moving moment when Wade didn't treat her any different when learning the truth. They were still best friends.

[@solenyadnapa8191]

I just wanna say honest trailer and pitch meeting both drop Halloween kills ....

[@tynitot5431]

If you like VR Troopers you should see jontron.

[@kevboard]

you can tell whoever wrote the movie has no idea about videogames... the final easteregg alone, I INSTANTLY said to my buddy who I was watching it with that it's clearly the easteregg in Adventure, and every hardcore gamer would know that instantly, which made the whole sequence where they play one 2600 game after the other make zero sense.

[@seamustheplatypus]

I am totally with you on that one dude. I was pressed hard to go see that film by my friends and pretty much everybody else raving about it. And... I don't know... it was ok I guess, I got all the references alright, but it felt kinda bland and by the numbers. Nice good guys, evil bad guys, Easter eggs galore, o feel I have seen this à million times before. And also, maybe it's just me, but I kinda miss the old times when movies revolved around great writing and practical effects. Now it seems everything is CGIed, so ok we get to see insane action scenes but it does feel fake, there are no stakes anymore. I miss movies like the Die Hard trilogy or the Mask of Zorro or Long Kiss Goodnight. They felt more real and had way more involved with the proceedings than the cgi soup we're being fed now.

[@OnMyMindEntertainment]

I feel the same way. Practical effects will always win when done right. CGI has it's place, but there can be so much of it sometimes it feels like you're watching a video game cutscene.

[@lolegaia]

''The Birthmark'' xD that's a nice title. but seriously the movie is really sad about the people who decided to live in a fantasy while the real world is corrupt and people dying.hopefully our world won't be like that someday. 5:57 Thanos's butt.

[@matthew7306]

In the LOTR two towers game, all characters but the ringwraiths had a one-hit kill. I thought I had figured out that holding triangle to the point that the blade catches on fire and then striking them was their one-hit kill. It wasn’t

[@thekaizobro9971]

Cmon Mike. The book is ALWAYS better. I haven’t even seen the movie, but the book is sitting on my shelf right now. And I must say… *chefs kiss*

[@LifesGuardian]

I liked it a lot. Yes, all of HT points are accurate, but it's still dumb fun.

[@Bamiar1789]

The movie was a huge let down. It completely glossed over the best parts of the book, and replaced them with things that didn't make sense. To experience what the movie really should have been, get the audiobook version narrated by Wil Wheaton.

[@Waytothedawn63]

I love pitch meeting but the "tight" catch phrase is starting to ruin him for me a bit. He has other better ones, but this one almost never makes sense as any kind of punch line

[@IIITangentIII]

I agree that this movie wasn't great. Compared to the book it was actually pretty horrible. The book isn't high art or anything, but it captures so much of what many of us loved about our childhood and the nostalgia factor is very real. The jokes about how long it took anyone to attempt going backward during the race in the beginning is irrelevant in the book, because such a stupid challenge doesn't even exist. Also why would he put part of the contest in a place that is part of a televised competition. After the first person solved it, everyone else would already know how to solve it as well. The book is so much more fleshed out and doesn't have the billion plot holes that the movie does. Do yourself a favor and either read or listen to (which is my preferred method) the book. It will be worth it and at least help you understand where the hype really came from.

[@kratosGOW]

The real reason IOI is “evil” is not because they want to make money. If you remember an early scene in which we see them having a meeting, Sorento says that if they get the rights to the company, they’ll have access to everyone’s VR feed and be able to place as much as 83% of the player’s visual field and fill it with flashy ads. He says that they can go as far as that without causing seizures even to people who are not normally susceptible to seizures. THAT is what’s evil.

[@gabrielherman8930]

*ad revenue*

[@kratosGOW]

@@gabrielherman8930 Yes, but the money it would generate is not the problem.

[@ghostderazgriz]

@@kratosGOW Right but like... That basically means the bad thing is that they want to flood the game with ads to player tolerance thresholds, which also sounds like what every company does with their user base. It's just the Oasis is so big and controls so much economy that their analytics suggest they can get away with an absurd number of ads and players will still play the game. So Ryan got it on the nose I think.

[@kratosGOW]

@@ghostderazgriz Hmmm… He only talked about which group gets to make money and my point is that which one makes money is not the problem.

[@ghostderazgriz]

@@kratosGOW That is the focus of the pitch meeting yes, he does mention the ad revenue stuff, but yea, but it's a fair question. Why is it bad for ioi to make money with absurd ads if the Oasis makes money using micro transactions? Why is that evil but other isn't?
