THE BEST VIDEO GAME MOVIE EVER -Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva

How can a movie with where a British gentleman who is basically a mix of Phoenix Wright, Indiana Jones and Hercule Poirot have a sword fight with a venetian masked badass on a giant steampunk robot not be good?

He says "there is a lot of cgi" Me: YEAH BUT THAT CGI DIDNT BURNT MY EYES...

[@suprisedwaffle]

Now that you bring it to light, there is so much I didn't question in this movie solely because I have played the games before.

[@NattiNekoMaid]

Why does noone ever talk about how when Layton figures out the puzzle he just like... lets everyone who didn't get it die? He's just complicit in what he at the time assumes to be a murder killing people, as he never is privy to the information that they're not being murdered. though with the end of the third game, civilian murder is just one of those things in the series as well

[@chazofalsa]

This movie is one of my favorite video game movies along with Pokemon movies and that it's also cannon in the series taken after The Last Specter.

[@HoodlieRPG]

... oh, right, I guess those kind of count as video game movies.

[@DylanGarcia1619]

Hoodlie I don’t really count them. They’re more of an anime continuation than video game movies.

[@haz6908]

the pokemon anime doesn't count, unless it's origins. the anime is a base, rather than just the game, as pokemon won't probably be nearly as popular without the anime reinforcing the game. because of that, the mistake of which is based off which appears. as for the eternal diva, if you played the games you'll know that they don't leave you on cliffhangers, they use teasers that are unlocked by playing the previous game and entering the code after finishing it. the movie was teased in the last specter, namely, the helicopter scene.

[@battlegirl56]

with what you were saying about descole - i remember that when this film was actually released it was actually just before the third game released here in Europe so I feel like his entire entrance confused everyone when it released

[@HoodlieRPG]

I get how that feels. I watched this before I played the game Descole debuts in, so I was completely lost.

[@MaryArts]

I kinda liked it. Made Descole a little more mysterious

[@ryanhawkins2227]

If i remember this film is tied into the final game

[@HoodlieRPG]

According to the timeline, it takes place between The Last Specter and Miracle Mask. The final game was Azran Legacy, which was the final game in the prequel trilogy. So... in a way, kind of.

[@oliviafelt]

If you open the hidden door feature in The Last Spector(using the code from Miracle Mask) it shows concept art of this movie...

[@rontheron4807]

The fact that they knew better than to make a live action movie makes me so happy, so many adaptations make that mistake

[@FirstLast-uj9ud]

I think the difference between this movie and a lot of other video game movies is that this one is actually part of the Layton canon-it happens between the events of the second and third games of the prequel trilogy, and the events of the movie are actually referenced in The Azran Legacy. Edit: whoops, wrong games, and I commented this before I finished the video-he actually mentions this point, to some extent

[@cryingintomycoffee]

I watched this movie in between playing Unwound Future and Last Specter, so I completely agree with the confusion in Descole's appearance. However, I feel like it also worked in a way. His dramatic reveal was my first big introduction, and that was neat. And Luke already knowing who he is, I mean, it'd make sense that he and Layton have more enemies. So, it wasn't too hard to swallow. Of course, I had my big "Ohhh" moment when I finally got the next game. Also yeah this was my least favorite Emmy voice, but eh, she's not in it that much anyway. 10/10 would puzzle again

[@PlacePlacington]

Well spoken, and makes for an excellent case to see the movie! Crying shame that the sequel never came to pass. Also, I've been on KZbin long enough to witness the start and subsequent growth of a ton of small channels. And so many talented friggin people just hang up and abandon ship when they aren't met with an immediate wave of praise. Don't let the low view/sub counts deter you from continuing. If you're giving it your all, eventually people will notice and overnight you'll have an audience. But don't even do it for the audience--do it for YOU, baby. Do it to learn about video editing, and the crazy stuff you make will only get crazier. Do it to develop your voice, your style; that's not repeating the trends of your predecessors and blazing a trail to new perspectives. Do it to learn, and then master, and then be able to educate. Do it because _you _*_love_*_ this shit._

[@HoodlieRPG]

Place Placington ... there was supposed to be a sequel? Maybe it was converted into the Anime staring the Professor’s daughter? Also... um, thank you, but... I’m already doing all that. That’s why I’m still making videos. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@samanthaw.6929]

Don't question the logic of the Hat.

[@alicelockwood2846]

I got this when it came out on DVD its amazing, the story is intriguing and fits beautifully into the series between the spectre's call and the miracle mask.

[@darkstar543210]

I'm not even going to lie, this movie (alongside the Phoenix Wright crossover game) got me into the professor layton franchise. See, playing the crossover confused me a lot because I didn't really know much about the world of Layton, so I did some digging. A video with the entirety of eternal diva popped up, and i decided that was the best way to get to know the characters. I watched the movie, and then became enthralled with this new world that had opened up to me. And then I fell into fandom hell. While still in the Ace Attorney fandom hell. High school got interesting for me. Now that I'm out of high school and still casually enjoy the stories and games, I can fondly look back on this movie (and remember why I love the dramatically masked science man so much).

[@rain.620]

This video game series is a great movie while no one talks about.

[@BlueResetti]

I’m happy to see I’m not the only one who enjoyed this underrated movie! Originally I had watched it with very little knowledge of Professor Layton. That little knowledge being you could play the game on the ds. I fell in love with this movie and it made me want to play the games and get myself into the series. I have always been attracted to puzzle games, but games with more of a story. Like I know there’s brain age but.... that’s kind of boring. This movie was amazing even though I didn’t know some of the characters that well and overall from an outsiders perspective was a great adaptation.

[@mds_main]

I agree, this is one of the best videogame movies ever made, and the fact that it is canon to the overall story (being placed between Last Specter and Miracle Mask, with the latter even making references to the movie) makes it even better in my opinion (even if you criticised it for it)
