I'd like the Disney directors to stop feeling that 'subverting expectations' is a good idea for Marvel and Star Wars films and just make something original and good. Constantly pulling the rug out from under the audience works once but more and more it is tiresome and frustrating.

[@Tyler_W]

"Subverting expectations" and pulling the rug out from under the audience only works when you actually have a meaningful point to make with it and when you can do it without undermining the characters in the story. It can be done. It's just really hard to do well with established characters. That's why Game of Thrones (mostly) works as a subversion of high fantasy, because it's being done with original characters (which is one of many reasons why Rings of Power will be trash).

[@mattoreo5854]

@@Tyler_W yep. Subversion only works when the thing you're giving the audience is BETTER than the thing they were expecting. The reverse of that only leads to disappointment. The movie Glass (2019 I think) is a great example of this (the disappointment side of things I mean)

[@Xoulrath_]

@@mattoreo5854 Glass delivered exactly as expected. It's a far more realistic take on super powered beings in our world, and it played out as such. If you were surprised by anything that happened, then you weren't paying attention during Unbreakable and Split.

[@mattoreo5854]

@@Xoulrath_ overall I liked the movie, but glass kept foreshadowing and building up to a skyscraper fight but TWIST! The final fight is actually just in the yard of the hospital. That is subverting expectations in a bad way. The setup expectation (skyscraper fight) is better than the subversion (Hospital yard fight). The story itself I enjoyed, but it's like them setting up a gourmet meal and then getting kraft mac and cheese. I love kraft mac and cheese, but when expecting something superior, it's disapointing. (The ending also doesn't hold up, security camera footage would be swept under the rug and dismissed as CGI. And thats not how viral videos work, you dont post a video and then literally everyone gets notified immedietly, but the ending doesn't have to do with the main topic of this comment). Like I said, I like the movie Glass, but I think my favorite part was the begining seeing David Dunn fighting the Beast, and the last act of the movie was weak, not bad (in isolation), but a disapointment due to the subversions of expectations. If M Night didn't feel the need to try and "subvert" audiences expectations, then the first two acts would have just built up to the yard fight, forget the meaningless skyscraper, and it wouldn't have been disapointing. Sorry I rambled a bit long, but I just wanted to make sure you understood what I meant. I'm not saying that the marketing was deceptive or anything, just that the movie put in a needless red herring which would have been more exciting than what we got. Love the whole trilogy, but Glass was disapointing on first watch

[@Xoulrath_]

@@mattoreo5854 then you read way too much into the story. I never once expected the fight to leave the yard. The skyscraper scene to me looked like an endgoal that wasn't going to be made, not by the heroes and villains at least. And that's just how it goes with movies. We both saw the same movie, but experienced it in wildly different ways, lol. So I really don't fault anyone who likes Love and Thunder or Ragnarok, or that godawful, overhyped No Way Home. I didn't like the movies from my perspective of viewing, but I can respect that others did enjoy the movie from their perspective. That said, regarding perspective, I feel like way too many people today try to review the movie as the watch it instead of just watching it. Love and Thunder wasn't a horrible experience by any means. I don't feel like I wasted my time or money. That's primarily because I just watched it. I didn't bother to critique anything until after the movie was over. I find that it's much easier to enjoy any movie when you go in with no expectations other than, "The trailer looked good enough. I'll check it out." When people go in expecting or not expecting this, that, or the other, then of course they aren't surprised. Of course you're upset that you didn't get what you expected. Just watch the movie and stop trying to guess the next five scenes.

I'm not sure about his other films. But personally even through the bad movies I enjoy those songs cuz they're fun. But I'm not going to defend the fucking riding because it's fun. I'm not going to defend it because it's enjoyable to me. I enjoy it because it's fun to me regardless of this shit writing. Others are not going to like it because of this shit right. Me defending it when the writing is clearly obviously shit would be fucking stupid. And more so just treating it as an attack to my ego. And like you said, just trying to find an excuse to defend your purchase for the film. Which nobody should have to do that. I think the fact that you enjoyed the film is more than enough to defense for your purchase. That's the whole point we purchase media. To enjoy it. So if somebody doesn't like it they may have the legitimate reason to regret that purchase. Others might not. And this is definitely something that happens with all media and not just films. I see this within the gaming industry all the fucking time. People will defend the game like it's the perfect game and as if it's flaws are actually its strengths. I can think of a few games right off the top of my head that were very flawed, and probably could have used the biggest update of their life. A full blown overhaul. And yes I still managed to enjoy them. I think the fact I have any enjoyments of my purchase at all is enough of a reason to say my purchase was worth it. Regardless of others don't like it. Doesn't mean that game doesn't need some work done. But for some reason a lot of people don't want to look at it that way. If somebody else find something you like bad, there's a problem.

If you are a somewhat decent director, you will end up with more great footage than what fits in the runtime, and many scenes that are cut will be great, and you hate that they have to go. The better and greater the story, the more such hard decisions have to made. If you don't have to cut scenes you love, you either are a master at planning things out, or most likely you just failed at directing and the movie could be condensed into an hour or less. It is basically unheard of to keep all scenes you love.

I've pretty much forced myself to not get excited for anything Star Wars until it proves itself or unless Dave Filoni is the one creatively holding the reins like with Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Mandalorian and soon Tales of the Jedi. He's not perfect, but he knows how to tell cool and fun Star Wars stories, and you can tell he actually gives a rip about it. Waititi's episode or two that he did in The Mandalorian were mostly really good, but if this is what we have to expect, I'm probably checking out for this as well. I'm glad it'll probably be it's own self-contained thing with no established characters. That's the best sign that it actually has a chance at not being terrible.

[@drews2444]

I dont understand what people like about that movie. I watched it on a chill night I was high as fuck but I only laughed once the entire movie. It was predictable, dry, and just boring as hell.

[@xSilentZeroXx]

2:27 I'm actually going to agree with him, with the stipulation that it needs to come from a place of love for the property and its fans, not malice (and I'm not convinced that Waititi isn't malicious, to say the least). Believe it or not, there was a time when the ever increasingly-popular game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was near-universally despised among Metal Gear fans. All they had was trailers, and the trailers showed a hack-and-slash action game instead of a stealth game like they were more used to, and they didn't like it. It wasn't until the game actually came out and they played the damn thing that they finally began to realize just how good it really was. Though I do think timing is critical. When a series is on life support, you need to get back to its roots, not be getting overly ambitious with crazy ideas that don't seem to fit at first glance. And the MCU is absolutely on life support.

[@Tyler_W]

Couldn't agree more. Whether or not "that" works is entirely dependent upon the attitude with which it is done towards the audience and the established property being handled.

[@meggy0]

Ragnarock was the right movie at the right time, some world bending madness and humour when the MCU was pretty dark and serious, but now there's much more comedy, levity and multi-verses and it isn't as relevant anymore. Marvel doesn't know what they're doing and there are too many different directors doing different things. Plus, Waititi has changed so much, he is drinking all the cool-aide of his own hype and didn't get reigned in this time. He's got his hot musician GF, mounds of coke and a mansion in LA. He's not the 'indie director' from the Bay of Plenty anymore.

[@romelmunoz7957]

I thought that was the american dream: luxury mansions, loads of drugs and alcohol, an the arsekissing... Look at all the rappers, actors and rockstars.

[@TheUnseenPath]

Ragnarok wasn't even the right movie then. Thor is not a comedy character and shouldn't be. Yes, he needed work but Infinity War wrote him perfectly. If we wanted comedy then do Howard the Duck or make a deal to get Deadpool or something.

[@petriew2018]

Ragnarok was fine because most of the dumb stuff happened in a literal alternate reality. Side stories like that can be a good thing in a bloated universe where you can change the tone without it effecting the larger narrative. Most of the stuff directly effecting the main universe was handled pretty seriously When you take that same tone and force it onto the central narrative.... you get this wet fart of a movie...

Subverting expectations is the new "thing" and the worst possible way to make a movie, that has any sort of fans associated with it. Ragnarok was fun. Thor kicked ass in the end.

[@iankantrara7756]

I definitely think this was a not the best marvel movie out there, but I still genuinely think taika waititi is a good director. Sure he has gotten an ego with all of his successes, but his movies have been such a great refresher from all of the bland cookie cutter Hollywood movies we have been getting recently. Yeah it might be better if he takes these risky ideas to his own movies rather than existing franchises, but we would not have gotten a movie like Ragnarok which was pretty damn good imo. If he messes up one movie trying something new I honestly don't mind that much, as long as he learns from it. I feel you were being rather cynical about all of it and only focusing on the bad parts, but hey that's just my opinion and I don't want to really start anything.

[@books2438]

[@daneg]

I'm torn between never watching another Star Wars production ever again (Rogue One was the best thing since the OT, but I don't think I can handle another TLJ, RoS, or Obi-wan just in the hope of another Rogue One). But I'm not sure what I'd do if Waititi made a SW film. I mean...part of me wants to see it just to MST3k it. And the other part of me doesn't want to contribute to the number of "views" that the thing gets and thus contribute to its "success." Honestly, though, nothing - and I mean nothing - could hit me so badly as Luke Skywalker milking a space lizard and then sloppy splashing it all over his spiteful old face. I just don't think it's possible for anyone to ruin SW for me the way Rian Johnson did. Edit: when you mentioned CGI boards and matting, all I could think about was Army of Darkness. I love the movie to death, but part of its charm is how bad the FX are. The matting on that movie was so bad, it's hilarious. RLM just did a retrospective on it. Ah. That took me back. 🙂

[@asdf51501]

For what it's worth, I'm not convinced that Lucasfilm under Kathleen Kennedy even has the talent to put out a good film of any kind any longer. Shove her and her "story group" out of the picture and you get stuff like The Mandalorian, but it seems that she's got her claws, tendrils, pseudopods, and whatever else she has fully back into everything.

[@daneg]

@@asdf51501 the thing is...the Mandalorian isn't very good. It's not BAD. But it's terribly uneven. Production values fluctuate leading to (sometimes) shoddy action sequences, and the dialog, while nowhere near as bad as Obi-wan and Boba Fett, is bad. The acting is bad as well, but I cannot tell if that's just acting or terrible dialog. For example, Gina Carano. When I heard she was let go, I was fine with it. Her character was dumb. The idea of her character was fine, but she spoke like she was reading her lines for the first time on a teleprompter. Is that the director's fault? The writers? (the dialog itself is definitely wooden) or is she just a bad actor? (she's not classically trained) I don't know the answer, but losing her was no loss to the quality of the show. The excuse I run into all the time when I complain about SW is that "it's written for children." And that pisses me off, because Aladdin (1992) was a kids' movie. Tangled (2010) and Wreck-it Ralph (2012) were kids' movies; His Dark Materials (2019) is a YA series, and they're not fucking retarded! They are, like Shrek (2001), layered. They don't treat their audience like 5 year old and have everyone talk like they're speaking to a 5 year old.

[@petriew2018]

@@daneg the Mandalorian's problem is it's frankly largely nothing. Basically the plots are lifted wholesale from better classic Samurai movies or just a thinly veiled pilots for a different show. It's one of the most forgettable shows of the last decade (seriously, anyone who thinks they like it, describe an actual episode from memory). This in and of itself is fine if all you're looking for is a time waster.... but the amount of people who go nuts over the idea of 'The Mandalorian' is depressing...
