THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK (The Necromongers, Furyan Prophecies & Ending) EXPLAINED

[@filmcomicsexplained]

You made three mistakes. First, you took the job. Second, you came light. A four man crew for me? Fucking insulting. But the worst mistake you made......empty gun rack.

Could ya do a video on ...willow...1980s film with val killer? Pretty please 😇

[@timdecker6063]

I highly recommend the animated series The Maxx. I think it was also a comic.

[@lucion511]

Can't wait for you to review the 3rd installment. Riddick 2013. Love these movies.

[@ptolemeeselenion1542]

Lol.

[@billybattle]

I hate the fact that the Riddick franchise wasn’t commercially successful…but Fast and Furious was, and we live in a world with 9 of them, an animated tv show, and a theme park ride with a gift shop included.

[@cmbaz1140]

What a joke...

[@ptolemeeselenion1542]

Lol.

[@thoughtfuldevil6069]

You can blame that on Chronicles and how it was edited. If they stuck with the gritty, R-Rated Pitch Black atmosphere and split it into two movies about Necros and Crematoria (which really should've been called something else), we could have had a more successful franchise (that also would've been even better than it was, and I say that as a fan). Also, they should have kept Jack as Jack and kept the three main characters together, so as to keep us invested as they travel through this universe.

[@billybattle]

@@thoughtfuldevil6069 I agree but Hollywood’s gonna Hollywood. They like having their beautiful girl leads with one off movies to gauge interest to see if another movie would be viable. The production studios are always the main culprits in ruining the director’s vision, or the vision was just dogshit from the beginning.

[@Terrince_Tate]

Agreed. Now all we have is SJW garbage. The fast franchise is a complete embarrassment. Hollywood will eventually ruin everything.

[@AlexGreat321]

This is Vin Diesel's best franchise. I want another movie and game

[@peterseaboldt1250]

I'd love to see a new Riddick game, maybe one that focuses on day-to-day survival rather than just linear story progression. There could be a day and night cycle like in Dying Light. During the day, you'd be scrounging and crafting tools, making crazy weapons from monster bones and such. During the night, you'd be eluding and eliminating mercenaries while also fighting off whatever horrors come out in the dark.

[@jadefire1814]

"Furya" just got announced as being in production!

[@Son.D.Lollipop]

Such an underrated series and universe. SOO MUCH POTENTIAL in more movies, series animated or not, comics, books and especially video games.

[@johnnyringo5777]

We definitely need to learn more about the world

[@mish375]

I really hope they make the fourth film tentatively called Furia, as Vin Diesel said. Apparently the end goal is to get Riddick back to his home planet to tie up the Necromancer storyline. Shame it hasn't happened yet.

[@tjack708]

At this point he is to old but an anime would be perfect

[@Reactionary_Harkonnen]

@@tjack708 he's a little old but there's technology to make him look young and he still a fairly atletic person. Just look what they do with Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy, and Vin Diesel's not even that old as him.

[@triaenmarsh107]

The last movie was terrible. This one was amazing.

[@nofillergamingknight7319]

I like all three movies and the Animated one. Severely underrated series.

[@tastyneck]

SAME. Chronicles is probably may fave because it really expands the world and does some cool things with it. Also Escape from Butcher Bay was awesome.

[@terminator9824]

Is there an animated one????

[@tastyneck]

@@terminator9824 yeah, Dark Fury. It's good.

[@enocloke24]

I remember looking for the animated one like crazy. Back before you could just download stuff or stream it online 🥲

[@Unforgiven11]

Chronicles of Riddick is unironically fucking awesome. I was sad that they didn't seem to continue the story with Riddick as the leader of that army

[@Madhamz]

The moment the character, purifier walks into the blazing sun and eradicating himself. That is one of the most, and still, moving death to me. Motivations aside, the way he reacted to the heat and sun and collapsed was elegant and tragic considering he is the only other person of the same race that Riddick has seen so far.

[@Mustang-bk4ns]

Yes it was. I thought he should have worked with Riddick. I thought he killed himself because he felt stranded on the planet and felt disgusted with what he had done as a necromonger and just wanted to die.

[@zodd3262]

The Chronicles of Riddick video games are some of the most underrated games of all time. I really wish Vin Diesel would help spearhead another video game in the series. Think about it: open world space game, Action-RPG, running from mercenaries, breaking out of prisons, sci-fi horror and an incredible world that isn't fleshed out enough.

[@mish375]

Going to different planets and forming alliances with various factions against the Necromongers would be interesting. Or you could solo it as a lone wolf like Riddick is and turn factions against each other to take out your enemies.

[@zodd3262]

@@mish375 Exactly! The most wanted and dangerous man in the universe. The dialogue options alone to pit people against each other... There is so much potential here.

[@isaacfoster1377]

Chronicles of Riddick always felt like a modern take on pulp Fantasy or space opera. The way he slumped back into the Necromunder throne, claiming almost accidentally, reminded me a lot of the Robert E Howard "King Conan" stories!

[@WrecklessEating]

This was a really fun sequel to an awesome movie. I remember both very well but can't tell you much about the 3rd one.

[@babyray5643]

Great film, can't wait for the 4th one, hopefully it comes out! On another note I saw Alexa Davalos over the weekend here in NY, safe to say I had a fangirl moment, and Chronicles of Riddick was the first film I saw her in :)

[@whskyhamr]

And its strange because if you look at the roles VD plays, they're so similar, from Babylon AD (not a great movie), a man apart, fast and furious. But somehow, Riddick almost feels like the true role he was meant to play, and boy does he ever play it well.

[@Neb_Raska]

[@jamesvass498]

A strong leading actor, good supporting cast, interesting storyline, and plenty of action. Vin Diesel always brings a strong presence. I liked him when he was also singing in the choir.

I always love when you dive into the Riddick series. It's close to my heart ever since I was shown Chronicles randomly at a family gathering. Ever since I rewatch them often even if they aren't the "best" movies out there. love your videos!

[@toonpacha2396]

One of the most interesting and, in my opinion, original film series I’ve ever watched. It still baffles me how essentially a throwaway convo with Riddick and Imam started the whole series

"There are bad days, and then there are legendary bad days. This was shaping up to be one of those." Love this series! I remember seeing the Chronicles of Riddick trailer when I went to see Dawn of the dead with friends when I was young. Came on after the Kill Bill vol. 2 trailer. Lol but I didn't see the movies until I played Riddick: Escape from Butcher bay after my friend had picked it out to rent and I choose Area 51. Both games were great, but man I got lost while playing Butcher Bay which then led me to the movies. Riddick has been one of my favorites ever since then! I'm glad my friend recommended the game. Opened up a whole universe Lol

The game Escape from Butcher Bay, and the first movie, Pitch Black, will always be my most favorite media with the character Riddick.

[@theresidentteacher2438]

I liked him A LOT in Boiler Room. His character was just a cool dude, good guy, who wanted his boys to succeed. At the end of the movie, just like Seth did, I would've WARNED him and told him to get out.

[@jeoraptor3624]

I've seen this movie like 10 different times and I kid you not it does not get old at all. Truly a classic movie that should have been greater than it is.

[@samwill7259]

This series really is a wonderful insight into Vin Diesel as a person. He's this big, burly, action hero jock sorta dude but his actual interests lie in DnD, comic books and cheesy classic sci fi. Keeping this thing going out of his own pocket is probably one of the things that have kept him sane and creatively energized after being more than a little typecast everywhere else.

[@Mustang-bk4ns]

Real name... Troy Garrity

[@Sherudons]

I do hope they complete the series though, even if it's not a grand end, it's still got enough star power to make money and an interesting enough setting to be worth finishing.
