What Pixar does with that is have movies that kids can enjoy but have a message for adults like almost every one is about having a midlife crisis.

A dad losing a son, a senior citizen living alone, a young chef with big dreams, a racer lost in a small town... Pixar protagonists are adults with adult problems. Just everything is dressed up in child-like pageantry, to basically make gloomy-feeling kids films I never actually enjoyed as a kid.

On the opposite end of the spectrum from the “reboot made out of contempt for the original”, you’ve got the “overly saccharine reboot that worships the ground the original walked on even if the original was completely different tonally”. Ghostbusters has had both of these reboots. Also, you’ve really hit the nail on the head for why RedLetterMedia is heads and shoulders above so many other reviewers, because despite whatever grievances they may have with the movies they watch, they don’t take themselves too seriously for what they do (whether it be using a comical character like Mr. Plinkett or the often melodramatic “plots” of the Half in the Bag intros) but still manage to get their points across. Meanwhile, a lot of these other people will treat reviewing these movies or series as almost life or death situations, lol.

@@starmaker75 I remember the days when One Piece was just an adventure series akin to Doctor Who or Tintin or whatever . A series of one shots anyone can just pick up a volume and follow whatever adventure they were on . And then they became this huge story that is all over the place and needs a flow chart similar to spaghetti code to even understand what's happening .

Part of the fun of videos like this is to look at the jokes and try to interpret which thing is being made fun of. I caught references to everything from the Mummy 2017 and the Live Action Disney remakes to the Justice League and new Star Wars trilogy, and even some Nostalgia Critic potshots! Love it. Also, RIP Batgirl movie. And Sir Adblock.

[@andresacosta4832]

I think a third of the jokes are also about how much Sony keeps trying and failing to make a cinematic universe out of Spider-Man characters like Morbius, El Muerto, Hypno-Hustler...calling it now, Big Wheel will be next.

JP, you should make a video of a topic of a smaller yet equally important scale for writers as your broad genre/archetype-focused videos. By that, I mean a video on prose would be excellent! After all, the best plot, setting, and characters in the world won't mean anything if your first sentence is "A rustle of busyness has erupted within the Morane estate this morning."

[@solbadguy9025]

Hey JP, I have a small suggestion but I don't know if it applies to your field. How about a TWA episode on Tokusatsu? More specifically the super hero branch? Basically an episode on Power Rangers style stories and the toy driven nature of the (relatively) more recent shows? Edit: For those who are commenting about the "Toy driven nature" part. Is a nudge towards those who complain about "To many toys" in more recent times while actively ignoring how iven Showa era series were just like that.

[@conradojavier7547]

I would like JP to watch Kamen Rider, & Precure, the later whom is a Tokusatsu Adjacent Anime.

[@wariodude128]

From what I've heard, tokusatsu has been toy-driven since at least the 1990s. There's a rumor about how Ohranger was nearly the end of Super Sentai, but the toys sold really well so they kept it going due to that.

[@chronicbackpain6047]

Don't you mean all 90s animated shows??

[@darwinxavier3516]

Are you saying the more recent shows are more toy driven than the older ones? Because I'll have to strongly disagree with that as they were always pretty driven by merch. Now, if you're saying that the more recent shows are poorly written due to being lazy cash grabs or giving us consecutively worse versions of older design themes. I can see that as I have not seen a single decently creative megazord toy since Mystic Force.

[@SlapstickGenius23]
