    Point number one ought to have been the constant reliance on having an audience that "knows the story." All these overblown hacks "use" this as an excuse to avoid dealing with large slobbering hunks of character and story. Point two should have been the "expectation" that because part of a "story" has been in a comic book, dead tree book or something else beyond the film itself "everyone" who will see the movie has already read or knows about all of these outside sources. All of this comes down to an ongoing "quest" to cut down on the work (and the expense) that needs to be undertaken before the first frame of film is shot. What makes it so awful is that most of the people who are victimized by this schlock method of film-making get drowned out by the howling fan base whenever they complain about it. People who make films will continue to get away with schlock until the people who buy the tickets (at $12-$15 a pop sometimes) howl loudly enough that schlocked up movies start to lose money.

Scarlet Witch, Thor, Dr. Strange, Vision, Capt Marvel, Adam Warlock, Black Panther, Hulk, etc. In addition, characters who lived in the comics died on film and worse, characters who died in the comics lived on in the films. It was predictable and it didn’t make any sense.

Sometimes that means there is not one single movie I would want to see, and sometimes it means there is only one. Even if that one isn't the greatest, I like to encourage the filmmaker for doing something original. All good wishes for 2020!

    Amazon Prime has a nice selection of real independent films made for a budget that wouldn’t pay for catering on a Hollywood movie. It’s hit and miss but some of them are very good. I saw one about a programmer who gets involved with aliens and it was amazingly good. There were details about programming and quantum theory that were actually correct, the characters were believable, the hero was flawed but likable and the plot kept you guessing right to the end. I’m with you, no more sequels, prequels, and also for me no more movies based on comic books… you’ve seen one sky beam you’ve seen them all.

    Anton Nym that's very interesting. Whenever these prequels, sequels, and superhero movies are announced, they get a lot of attention even though it's clear that these movies aren't that deep and relevant to deserve such attention while better and more thought provoking movies are not given the publicity they deserve. The only way to end this is to support these other films so they get made more instead of these garbage superhero/Disney flicks.

    It's fascinating what's happening to Star Wars because it's turning out much, much worse than I initially imagined. Bringing back Abrams strikes me as an attempt to "win back" the audience that loved TFA. The problem is that we now have this gaping hole in the middle of the trilogy where the already-shallow worldbuilding was tossed away wholesale. Rather than telling the conclusion of this story, or even simply closing off loose ends, Abrams is now going to spend the vast majority of his time twisting and contorting a story just to dance around the nothingness that was TLJ. Think about that. Return of the Jedi was able to build off The Empire Strikes back. Revenge of the Sith was able to build off Attack of the Clones. Whatever they'll be calling the next new movie doesn't have that luxury _at all._

    Interestingly 'Star Wars' was originally a stand alone movie. The end of the movie is an actual end. It's also why there were so many inconsistencies introduced in the following movies as Lucas constantly tried to retcon everything as he changed the stories over and over and over again in his never ending quest to "fix" the movies.

    Timothy Hilditch Except Lucas had no idea if he was even going to get another movie. Sure, he had a script already written for a sequel, but just having that script doesn't automatically force a sequel to be made. He had to make Star Wars to be the best he could if he wanted that sequel to happen, i.e. make a self-contained story so nobody hates it for a non-sensical ending. Blue-balling your audience on a movie thats not only a new IP, but has never been seen before on that scale is dumb. He needed that movie to be the success that it was to get that sequel.

    Yeah, Passengers is right up there with that weird ass Monster Trucks film for the most "wtf" films of recent times to get the budgets they did. I actually found it funny that feminists condemned Passengers as basically a rape film, because Pratt's character "objectifies" Lawrence's character to the point of ejecting her from hibernation to have her with him, forcing her to live out her life with only him on the ship before they ever reach their destination. Personally I found it really convenient that the ship didn't end up screwing up in other ways and begin to eject anyone else. If a minor issue forced him and Fishburne out, with Fishburne's character also being physically injured fatally by his ejection, how did this not happen to anyone else, and how did other issues not arise in the near century of the voyage to force others from sleep? It was just a sappy love story that paid no attention to detail, which as you said, Valentine, was banking entirely off star power. It also speaks against Lawrence's credibility as a feminist that she's taken a role other feminists see as basically a Stockholm Syndrome rape victim

Honestly Inde films are like the only good films being produced nowadays I've become a fan after binge watching a lot of independent thrillers and horrors on Netflix The writing is SO much better and less cliche they talk like real people and the plots are rarely ever boring. And often take unexpected turns compared to what you may think. I fell in love with Circle (2015) These inde films are infinitely more better with less budget than a Hollywood film often have a budget less than ten million dollars I find.

    Yeah basically, you have business people, and you have artists. It is unusual to meet someone who is both. In theory, the two of them need each other. Not only do the business people provide the money, but they also provide a measure of practicality and keep the artist from spending three times that amount realizing their "vision." However... What frequently happens is that the people who hold the purse strings are corporate drones with bags of money where their souls should be who are only able to understand what hu-mans like via a spreadsheet.

    Television used to be what movies are today, sucking a concept dry until audiences got bored and moved on to something new. Now good tv shows are plotted out (like breaking bad or game of thrones) to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. They have meaningful character arcs and more time to develop a narrative than movies do. The better tv shows are like visual novels. They're smoking movies.

Bad movies get made because they are easier to make than good movies and we'll still watch them and help the studios make a crap ton of money. We're the real bad guys.

I I had used my common sense here, I wouldn't have watched a fun, entertaining movie that made the rest of my day happy. I get what you're saying, but there's always the chance that something is exactly the opposite of what it appears to be.

    What's also killing movies is the assumption that everything will get a sequel automatically. One movie ruined by that assumption? The Golden Compass. The first of a trilogy that actually had good stand-alone novels with an overall plot arc, but because the producers automatically assumed there was gonna be a sequel they cut off the ending of the first book completely leaving a shitty movie behind. They could've ended the first book's plot, briefly introduce Will from the second story like the original book did and boom, hook viewers for a sequel. Instead the first movie bombed at the box office because it was incomplete, sequel never happened. Hollywood stop assuming everything will get a damn sequel and using that as an excuse to make a shitty movie!

The Subtle Knife basically turns around and gives christianity the middle finger. There was no way they were going to be allowed to make that film unless they did it in a country where christianity was not much of a thing... and then they'd never get it brought over to the states.

    Forest Grump They're not really Christian themes if someone feels so strongly against them. Most of Christendom's religions do not teach what the Bible says, but rather the early churches began to drift from Bible teachings, adopting popular philosophies and pagan teachings (i.e. hellfire, immortality of the soul, trinity, etc). Most Christians don't know what the Bible teaches, and their pastors won't tell them even though many know, because if they did, then they would have to get real jobs to support themselves, and clean up their conduct. Christendom supports patriotism (We rock, you don't), wars, premarital sex, divorce without merit, so called "minor" sins, and the list goes on. Most of the so called Christian holidays are rooted in paganism too. My point is, most people don't know what the Bible really teaches, and it would be inaccurate to get your details from commonly taught beliefs.

Superman is the ideal person to everyone who writes him, and he's the untouchable ideal. So we all make him who we want to be, or who we believe we can't become.

A lot of classic lit ends that way bc it is more of an intellectual experience than to sit and watch a movie and allows he author to leave the reader with something to think on. I feel like too many movie producers writers whatever now a days want to pull from these classic literature stories and don’t pull it off in a way to allow for such endings and the mass general viewers be satisfied by this type of finish.

    No. Star Wars was made for general audiences, everyone from the Greatest Generation on til now has grown up with scifi and fantasy stories. They’ve appealed mostly to children, but as baby boomers grew up they wanted to pay homage to their childhood. So you get George Lucas making Star Wars because he couldn’t get the rights to Flash Gordon The classic horror, comedy, action and adventure films of films were all big hits with general audiences Cult classics, not so much, but how many people reading this have seen Buckaroo Banzai or The People Under the Stairs, Dead Alive? My point here is that the quality of film is worse not because of “wider audiences,” but for reasons like this video mentions

    You are correct. But Hollywood is putting almost all of its money behind a small amount of super high budget films. They can't afford to make anything besides movies that appeal to the mass market. Back in the 1970s and 80s, Hollywood would make a larger amount of medium to low budget movies. Then if one of them got successful, churn out a few sequels for it. This is the formula Hollywood is going to return to eventually, when the mega blockbusters stop being profitable. I'm betting on Star Wars and Avatar as being the IPs that break Hollywood.

And the more I view Star Wars as something that started in 1977 and ended in 1985, the more I appreciate the franchise overall. Everything released after 1985 is just a reaction to Star Wars’ success and did not actually contribute to that success. Also the “dramatic” Khan reveal in Star Trek: Into Darkness makes no sense whatsoever in the context of that story. Besides, why would a time-travel event in the 23rd century cause an Indian guy from the 20th century to turn into a British guy?

    To be fair, the prequels weren't all that bad. They didn't fall into many of the trappings outlined in this video, and frankly, they added simple, concise, and interesting backstory to how the Empire and Rebellion of the original trilogy came to be. AND they had some really incredible action scenes and lightsaber duels (see the Darth Maul/Obi Wan/Qui Gon fight from Phantom Menace). The sequels though? Terrible movies. Disney wrecks everything it touches. Pretty much falls into every trap outlined in this video, fails to make coherent stories, and for some reason had to make Star Wars feel exactly like a Marvel film, anti-climactic humor and all.

This is the allure of the new episodes, how is she controlling the force?? Rey is similar to Luke as he was a junker, Anakin was a slave, they all came from meager beginnings.

Kylo Ren was hot headed during the fight, had already taken a blaster shot to the side and had fought Finn (who was trained in close quarters combat), Rey got the upper hand because of these outside factors in their fight.

Every Star Wars movie stars a character who has unusual strength in it, mastering skills after minimal practice, essentially just because. Having such a petty, oft-debunked gripe really weakened the video's argument.

It might be controversial though because of the eugenics but idiocracy is also lowkey eugenics advocacy (well it is based on the marching morons after all but absolutely ruined by its execution and the removal of nearly everything that made TMM good.) Harrison Bergeron is also another short story (I say short story but it has less pages than a comic book) that demonstrates the dystopian future of what we're seeing now with forcing equality of outcome to the extreme.

    kudosbudo You can't "explain" why she's not a Mary Sue in a movie. You have to show it.

    I'm really burned out on movie series. By the end of the matrix I was thoroughly sick of "Kung Fu". By the end of lord of the rings I'd had my fill of epic battles, then they made the Hobbit trilogy. And I'm not sure I'm going to bother with any more marvel movies, or avatar if that mess of a series ever gets made. I watched Cool Hand Luke the other day. MY GOD what a fantastic film. It started, you cared about the characters and the plot, things happened, and then ended. No sequel, no merch, no special edition Doritos or Coke cans. Just a really good movie.

    I hear you! I'm currently done with Hollywood. I have no interest in any movies anymore. Especially blockbusters. Its all about money and greed. Story telling is just awful! All studios focus on are CGI and action.

    Done with Marvel after Infinity war for the exact same reasons listed in the video, and star wars, and Got. Loved Rogue One though - I mean, they all fucking died and for once a missing part of the story was sufficiently filled.

    Drinking “gasoline” gag is nonsensical. It would induce vomiting while giving the feeling of your insides being on fire, as it absorbs through the skin/flesh/meaty-bits/etc.

    What do you do when someone asks when 'can I have a pint?' or is that to PC
