The whole Sequel Tragedy was poorly written, unplanned and had complete disregard for the franchise and the fans. Despite many flaws (another old decrepit guy seducing a young Skywalker to the Dark Side, Starkiller Base… which I thought was overkill until we got 10 gazillion Super Death Star Destroyers… Rey being instantly awesome at everything, zero world building etc.), The Force Awakens could have still been salvaged by someone who gave a $#!+ about Star Wars… but we got Ruin Johnson instead.

[@banonKING]

Thanks for spoiling the end of Quantum Leap! I've always wondered and was meaning to go back to it. Now i don't have too... and I feel better for it. Thank you!

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

Even hearing the breakdown of the plot of Endgame, hearing the storylines and significant plot points, it just took me back to the first time I watched Endgame and emotion swelled up. The first time i watched Endgame, I literally cried. A grown man crying, watching a movie with his son. Why? I was 12 when Iron Man was released, I am now 25. I grew up with the MCU. When Endgame was released, my son was 5 and we got so hype together. I felt every Easter egg and connection they showcased in Endgame. It literally felt like this huge, beautiful ending to one ENORMOUS story that I've been following for half of my life. But watching this, I literally felt my chest beating and getting heavy as Ryan kept explaining the movie and upping the stakes and I just felt the weight of the movie while watching THIS video. *THAT* is how you know the Russo brothers have created an absolute *masterpiece* with Avengers Endgame. They did the impossible with Endgame, and it can be replicated, but that feeling will never be duplicated. The first franchise to achieve something like this, with multiple franchises trying but failing. Like Rise of Skywalker.

[@summertyme5748]

I have no problem saying that Endgame is a masterpiece and I don’t feel that way about any other comic book based film. Closest would be Dark Knight, and the one other masterpiece in the fantasy action genre in the last 10 years is Mad Max: Fury Road. Endgame takes chances and has lots of depth that the other MCU film’s don’t have. Most of the complaints about the film are quite shallow: People don’t like Thor getting fat, Professor Hulk evolving, or characters dying, or Steve Rogers getting old. Basically *nothing real* should happen, so they can keep watching film equivalent of a cartoon aimed at 7 year olds…which they’ve apparently never outgrown. Lol.

[@BigReviewMan]

There's a major difference though. Disney was trying to create a new story, and it was very obvious that their writers couldn't agree. There is nothing cohesive in the new trilogy. Marvel on the other hand already has the characters, the storylines, and just has to adapt them to film. They do an excellent job, but the ground work is already there.

[@KnullnVoid]

not gonna lie, I started cracking up at your response to Doug loving RoS. It's interesting how the MCU managed to make a relatively cohesive long-form storyline over 20+ films, but the sequel trilogy couldn't even do that with three. I guess it speaks volumes to how much effort Feige puts into his planning.

[@peewypeabody4284]

The answer is pretty simple: One was the epic culmination of an intricate story woven over a decade and ~20 movies while the other was the haphazard end of a 3 film clusterfuck with no coherent storytelling _or_ understanding of the associated franchise.

[@allenwaddell6261]

I can’t wait to share this with my daughter she and I have had the exact same discussion. THANK YOU terrific comparison breakdown

[@turnerjazz7872]

The other comparison that shows why rise of skywalker doesn't work is LOTR: Return of the King. It has a very similar, all hope is lost scene when the army of Rohan shows up. But, it's not a surprise like in Endgame. In ROTK, you know help is on the way for a long time like in ROS. Yet, it really, really works.

[@Skull1Hunter]

Even though the Rohan army is confirmed to be on the way, there is still tension there. It's not a question of "will Rohan help?" but instead "will Rohan arrive in time to make a difference?" Even after they arrive, they realize they're outnumbered, yet still fight to save Gondor. Those are why, I believe it works in Return of the King.

[@YesYou-]

@@Skull1Hunteryup. We knew they were coming but even as they were camping massing recruits, they were outnumbered. They were literally told their numbers won’t break the lines of Mordor, but they were all down to die gloriously.

[@derekdunbar4694]

18:30 - I think this is actually the most compelling point. Cap never surrenders and is ready to die fighting the good fight. Meanwhile Po, in a franchise that glorifies *hope*, gives up at the 11th hour. 20:12 - The big difference between these moments is that "Activate instant kill" makes sense 100% in that moment, and also happens to be a fan-service reference. Chewie getting a medal makes no sense in the context of its own movie. It's literally just there for fans.

[@kevinphiggins]

The Chewie scene works because he didn’t get a medal, he got *Han’s* medal. It was a treasured keepsake from his dead best friend, and a reminder of when they first met the rest of their found family and saved the galaxy. The rest of the movie still sucks though

[@romxxii]

more importantly, that Cap scene was told ALL THROUGH VISUALS. Allof Thanos' army teleport to the ground, Cap gets up, grits his teeth, and we see a stunning vista of one man against an entire army. The shot when Sam calls him, he is walking as if almost to his certain death.

[@michaelrizzello3763]

Not having the benefit of knowing that Wookiee don’t accept medals or rewards made me smile when I saw that scene. But now, I feel all itchy knowing that they passed up an opportunity to show bad a$$ Chewie was.

[@lucasoheyze4597]

I think it's fair to say the 9th and final movie in a franchise that's spanned decades is going to contain some fan service, it would be insane not too.

[@andrewshandle]

I did my best to ignore everything going into SW: ROS, but when the opening crawl came on screen it just hits you that it's going to be bad. When the entire movie is hinged on the fact that Palpatine didn't just waited 24 hours to send the galaxy a spam email it kind of highlights the problem with the writing. On the other hand, the "on your left' scene still gives me shivers even when shown in a video like this 2.5 years after seeing it the first time. Oh, and welcome to the new SC cat! ;)

[@starwrs3468]

The problem is that Return of the Jedi wrapped up the Skywalker saga perfectly even including all the prequels and shows etc. The entire sequel trilogy was useless in the first place because it just said “hey you know everything that our heroes worked to overcome in the original trilogy? Let’s just bring that all back and make new characters overcome it again”. Like it’s completely useless.

[@Kohay114]

Agreed, the sequel storyline took away the victory and pain of all the previous six movies. Return of the Jedi will always be the end of the Skywalker saga for me - sequels are fanfiction. If people like them, they can enjoy them. But they don’t connect to the main saga.

[@InsufficientGravitas]

A more interesting trilogy would be around either rebuilding the Jedi and a new jedi order, or (but preferably with) a more political/strategic type one around the rebuilding of the empire.

[@commandercaptain4664]

Rise of Skywalker really felt like "Second verse, same as the first" and "Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss" had an unholy baby. Less like _Rosemary's Baby_ and more like _It's Alive_

Totally right. Steve tightening his shield was just icing. It was a great feeling watching it all play out in the theater.

[@KellenN92]

I love both franchises, very much, for different reasons. I had two very strong reactions to both scenes when I saw them in theaters. For the Avengers Endgame, all is lost moment, I was so sucked in that you could've sold me a years supply of estrogen and I probably would have bought it. Whereas with Star Wars, I was so dejected and uninterested that I just wanted it to end already. During Endgame when everyone showed up, it was unexpected, and I was on the verge of tears, I had the same reaction as Ryan like "LETS FUCKING GO, ITS ON NOW". Whereas with Star Wars, I think I audibly groaned in the theaters and rolled my eyes, it just felt forced. One was earned and the other took shortcuts. It also didn't help that Endgame came out 6 months prior to Star Wars, so it kinda felt like "this has been done already". The last time we really had a good "all hope is lost" only to be saved at the 11th hour scene, before Endgame came out was probably in the LOTR series, both in ROTK in the battle of Minas Tirith and TTT in the battle of Helms Deep.

Let's hope Filoni and Favreau stay on the franchise long enough to redeem the Sequel Trilogy with quality retroactive continuity stories the way they did the Prequel Trilogy.

[@vetarlittorf1807]

The difference is that the prequel trilogy by itself is already better than the sequels, mainly because Lucas formatted and mapped it from the beginning, the visuals are more creative and the characters are more likable (especially Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Palpatine). The only problem was that Lucas doesn't work well with actors and often fails to make conversations sound natural. Also, Filoni didn't redeem the prequels. The whole TCW is basically a reboot of the Clone Wars multimedia project that ran from 2002-2006. And Filoni already had a chance to redeem the sequels with Resistance but he failed.

[@captainjefferies9047]

The prequel trilogy was already great, much better than anything Filoni or Favreau ever did. Them relying on already done great work isn't them redeeming anything. That you think there is any redeeming the sequel trilogy is further proof that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Why Endgame’s use of fanservice works and Why Rise of Skywalker’s doesn’t: - endgame’s portal scene worked because it took years of buildup and the Russos had a unified vision. Rise of Skywalker didn’t have a unified vision, as Abrams and Johnson kept on switching positions movie after movie - endgame, unlike TROS, had characters we actually care about - Iron Man’s sacrifice worked because it was emotional, it made sense for the character. Rey’s “sacrifice” felt like a ripoff of Tony’s - cap wielding Jonathan worked because it highlighted his determination. Rey calling herself a Skywalker didn’t because it was forced.

You want to know how good endgame was, i had goosebumps the entire time he was re-telling the story whereas i never felt even an ounce of emotion while watching the rise of Skywalker

[@noobmaster69426]

Rise of Skywalker felt like an Endgame ripoff bc the “I am all the Jedi” scene stole from “I am Iron Man”

[@Annika_Singh_Raghvanshi]

@@noobmaster69426 True!!!

[@roopnarinedeonarine4417]

I'm so glad Oscar Isaac is gonna be Moon Knight cuz he did fine acting as Po Damrran I'm excited that the new character he's playing is probably gonna have more depth

[@johnsilwanus9774]

A fantastic recap of Endgame! Brilliant analysis as always, great video!

[@wjiunn]

TOTALLY WITH YOU ON THIS! Awesome video!

[@Kenshiel]

Dat cat at the end! Genius !!!

Ryan, honestly, Disney should hire you as a production consultant. Contractor work for Star Wars and Marvel. You have great theories and honestly, your prominence on KZbin shows that you have your finger on the pulse of the fandoms. They would gain so much by at least consulting with you or your peers on scripts to see what kind of thing the fans are really looking for. Obviously I can see how that could affect your content on the channel, but for real, you could make these movies and shows better.

I've watched a lot of your videos, but this was something special. Great comparison!

[@sawickiradoslaw]

I always have chills when I watch Cap saying Avengers ... Assemble.

[@SteveMcT]

This video made me laugh and cry throughout. Thank you, ScreenCrush

[@ItsAlexandersChannel]

Finally a video comparing the 2

[@randomdude8877]

Honestly, Babu Frik is the best thing the trilogy brought us.

[@Lance37a]

It was sad to see Star Wars go out like that,with none of the magic from the original movies. I saw the original when I was 7 years old and Rise of Skywalker hurt.

[@christopherwilliams5912]

Only miss in Endgame was there was no Hulk vs. Thanos rematch. Cap could have been training Banner how to fight . A prolonged fight Thanos vs. the Hulk would have brought the house down. How they missed that is beyond me.

[@JC041174]

I have to admit that I do love both Endgame and Rise of Skywalker. Yes, Endgame is waaaaay better emotionally driven and ends with such a gut punch and there was no dry eye in the IMAX cinema where I saw it. With RoS yes it is sloppy and yes it rambles around to the big ending which should have had the force ghosts appear and help Rey. But it's Star Wars and it's fun. If you don't like it as you claim Ryan then ok. But your vid makes some great points. So thanks

[@anaisoffline2034]

Cap ready to take on the whole army by himself gave me chills in the theater

[@Sicarius125]

Jeez I still get emotional with “on your left” years later. That’s how I know they stuck that superhero landing

[@guyfromdogtownb7985]

Love your channel and you stuck landing . Thank you . Love your art 🎨

[@TheMrAlexander]

Amazing analysis and comparison and exactly my feelings. I don't think there was any way that they were going to drag out the Skywalker franchise for three more films without it feeling like a cash grab. There's SO MUCH potential in the Star Wars universe for some great stories and compelling characters, as well as some great action set-pieces that move away from the overplayed climaxes that felt overplayed even when ROTJ recycled it from ANH.

[@marcakins3373]

Thank you for doing this, I have loved how MARVEL really hit a home run but I felt absolutely nothing for STAR WARS….

[@MarvinMartinez2001]

Well Oscar Issac is Moon Knight now so he doesn’t need Star Wars he’s got a bright future ahead

[@unforgivengaming8793]

2:06 that’s amazing 🥲

[@dc100dc100]

You missed pointing out one great piece of acting. When Cap sees T’challa walk out, there’s relief and then sadness. “He’s alive.” Then “I don’t have to die alone.” then into “He’s going to die with me.” It’s a masterclass moment.
