    "Only stupid people obsess over plot" is code for "Shut up and enjoy my bad writing, capisce?" Why improve your product to suit the audience when you can instead dumb down the audience to suit your product?

    So sick of being told to turn my brain off and enjoy. “It’s made for kids, why are you using your brain?” Because children are obviously stupid and don’t understand logic, who cares about them. Even tho the movie is supposedly made FOR them… shows how much they care about children and the stories they consume. But they’re the same type of people to tell me that I’m the asshole for wanting better stories, for both children AND myself. It’s such a terrible deflection. It’s just a straight up concession most of the time, “Yeah, you may be _technically_ right, but who cares?” (the answer is me, I care, obviously) Caring about things is simultaneously righteous and evil, depending on if you’re being positive or negative. You’re only allowed to care if you have positive things to say, bigot. And that’s not to mention that the things they always say are ‘for kids’ are almost never strictly for kids. The whole point of the argument is that they try to draw equivalencies between something like Star Wars and Paw Patrol, and that’s not a strawman, I’ve had arguments where I’ve made direct reference to shows like Paw Patrol and how they are different ‘kids content’ than Star Wars. The person came back with The Wiggles trying to make the same point, “so you think The Wiggles should be completely logical?” Both Star Wars and The Wiggles are for kids, so they’re pretty much the exact same thing with the exact same standards, that’s how these people see it. I then asked if something like The Lord of the Rings was ‘made for children’ despite being heavily violent and hard to follow for young children. Tolkien wanted children to be able to enjoy his story, but I wouldn’t call it anywhere near ‘content for kids’, _especially_ the books. But there are elves and dwarves and magic? So it has to be basically the same thing as The Wiggles… same with Star Wars. Violence, political, and religious themes, but nah, it’s basically Paw Patrol. They think ANY fantasy setting is automatically a fairy tale that adults aren’t meant to be consuming. Surprisingly, the person stopped answering after I asked those questions.

    I agree and disagree to an extent. Movies are also a visual medium so even in your example, despite how limited, you could still tell a story about loss even if it all stayed the same based off of environmental storytelling. We could discover his name through some kind of decoration in the room and the newspaper could be flipped to the mortuary section where it displays a dead wife or family member or whatever. Maybe through his acting we can tell what it means to sit down in one chair in particular. I know it’s a little silly, but it is still possible to tell a heavy story with an incredibly simplistic plot as long as you’re not making arguments like “why does that even matter dude???” Like a doofus. The point is intentionality and communication for the audience.

Unless it's some kind of weird experimental novel where things just happen for no discernible reason, every single plot ever written is driven by characters and their choices.

    I love this guy, he’s such a baffling little creature. - He says that the events that happen in a film are ultimately not important, yet he gets angry at the theatrical version of Bladerunner for having a thing in the film that actively harms the experience, which contradicts the main point of his video. “The technical details, who cares?”, yet he’s angry when the theatrical release just says what the characters are feeling, which is all his own review of the movie boils down to, anyways. - He assumes his audience has never even heard of Bladerunner, and gives the most dispassionate summary of its events ever, yet he assumes that his audience HAS seen half a dozen random reviews which is why he just throws up out-of-context clips from those videos, but at the same time, he clearly believes that his audience already agrees that all of these people suck, so why would they be familiar with those reviews??

    Yes to the first part, no to the second. The central concept of Rick Deckard's internal conflict is that he's a man tasked to kill androids, who as a result of his job has lost his humanity. At the core of Blade Runner is a question: what does it mean to be human? The "Rick is a robit" concept was BS thrown in by Ridley Scott because he thought he was being clever, and because he wasn't interested in making a philosophical film. Philip K. Dick, author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the book Blade Runner was based on, made the replicants to be sociopathic monsters because of their complete lack of empathy; they, and the entire book in fact, were inspired by the journals of SS officers Dick had come across while researching for Man in the High Castle, and concluded that the thing which wrote said journal was so evil that it could not have been human. Scott, however, sees replicants as ubermensches, superior to humans in every way. Script writers Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, and Harrison Ford all vehemently disagree with Scott on this. Frank Darabont has so artfully explained, "Blade Runner only works if Deckard is human. It's about a man who's lost his humanity, but over the course of the film, rediscovers it again. It's a brilliant character arc, but if Deckard is a replicant, all that is gone." Scott says "Rick is a robot" because he thinks it's cool, like Hack Snyder would.

    Alright, let's take Roy's statements from both directions: 1) No interstellar travel, so Roy is talking about imagining seeing things off the shoulders of Orion, a thing Replicants aren't built to do, yeah? or 2) Interstellar travel is available, so Roy has been to Orion... somehow, and has seen that there is so much more in the universe than the petty little squabbles that make up most peoples day to day. And he just wanted to become something greater than a Replicant. Whether or not interstellar travel is a thing in universe, doesn't matter, the situation can be read that Batty either was looking to grow, or had already grown beyond his programming.

    Orion is also a constellation - I always took the line "Attack ships on fire off the shoulders of Orion" as him witnessing a battle in space with the stars that make up Orion hanging in the background. You don't need interstellar travel then - in fact, it makes more sense if the battle was still in the Sol system, so the relative position of the stars that make up the constellation isn't too dissimilar from what you'd see in the night sky.

    @@emberfist8347 First, to be hyper pedantic, traveling to and from Mars is an example of _interplanetary_ travel, not interstellar travel; interstellar travel typically refers to traveling between different star systems(usually via FTL travel, if you want to get there anytime soon). Second, I'll fully admit "Orion" being a reference to the constellation is an assumption on my part. That being said, considering neither galaxies, nebulae, nor planets can really be described as having shoulders, while the Orion constellation specifically has two stars (Betelgeuse and Bellatrix) that represent Orion's _shoulders_, I'll maintain it's a fairly safe logical assumption.

    I know a couple KZreadrs who use this idea of auxiliary text, but they do it in a sane way - rather than random text that is so slap-dash that you can't even tell whether it is part of a clip or a criticism of said clip. For example, TIK History has a little box at the bottom of the screen which shows the relevant citations for the current statement being made in his historical videos and he often has little satirical lines that come from portraits of generals as he describes events in his battlestorm videos. Someone like C3 Sabertooth often has a lot of ancillary details left over from his research process. They are irrelevant to the main point and not worth dedicating parts of the video to, so he has text boxes that pop up at relevant times and last for a few seconds for those interested. There are ways to combine text and video in a way that compliment each other, but whatever Anthony is doing is definitely not it.

We don’t know the answer but that doesn’t make it a plot hole. Another example, the film The Empire Strikes Back has Han mention to Chewbacca that he thinks Lando forgot about something. We don’t learn in the film what it is but it does establish that Han did something that Lando would possibly hold against him. The fact we don’t know what it is exactly isn’t a plot hole as it is only there to foreshadow the double-cross later in the film by implying Lando would already less than noble reasons to do it.

    I think this person doesn’t understand that the “theme/meaning” & Plot are NOT independent from one another? The plot is typically what establishes the meaning. Take “A Christmas Carol” for example, the meaning/theme would be something like “Altruism is better than greed”, or “people make your life more rewarding than wealth”, or “be more generous at Christmas time”, etc. The PLOT of the story is what leads our main character to make those realization by being visited by 3 ghosts and what the ghosts tell him about himself and how he has lived. If you screw up the plot, you don’t arrive at that conclusion. The world building doesn’t matter as much as the events(ie. plot) leads our character to that realization, whether it’s in Victorian London, modern day New York or Doctor Who on another Planet, as long as the Plot, even if altered some, leads our main character to realize, by being shown he’s squandered his life for greed, the suffering of others and what his future holds, that it’s not too late for him to make a change and use his wealth to help others and bring them and himself happiness in the process.

The point is, you can pick apart any film and they’re going for comedy, however, they also know the difference between a “Good” film you can have fun nitpicking & a “Complete Mess” of a film that probably shouldn’t have been made and it typically comes across in the video. Watch the CinemaSins video for “The Shining”, if you’re confused. It begins with the “Sin Counter” going away because it didn’t want to take part in sinning a Stanley Kubrick film and the only thing they could find willing to do the job was the “HAL9000”. It’s pretty obvious, while they’re sinning it, that they think the film is a masterpiece. The irony, if they’re criticizing CinemaSins for not being able to understand meaning, nuance & context.

    Apparently, this guy unironically thinks that Final Fantasy II is a great game, so you can just tell he has no media literacy when it comes to video games either.

    Good old Ant, telling the Japanese why they are wrong with Creed:Shadow and the only pathetic nobodies who agree with him are the sad twitter accounts like LoZza and UnderdogBT who whole existence is to destroy the evil youtubers and failing at it. His twitter avatar a joke aswell.

    Orion’s not even a star system, it’s a constellation visible from our solar system. Most other places in the galaxy would make the constellation impossible to view, and the idea of a star having a shoulder is nonsensical. To make the line actually work, Batty would have to be IN our solar system, looking in the direction of Orion, seeing the burning ships - close to him - off the shoulder.

    "...off the shoulder of Orion" is not a plot hole. Orion is a constellation in the shape of a man - with prominent shoulders. Batty was likely seeing ships burning with the constellation of Orion behind them.

    Or he meant something else. But just because we don’t know what he means exactly doesn’t make it a plot hole. Another example. The Walking Dead doesn’t explain the cause of the zombie apocalypse but that isn’t a plot hole.

    his type sickens me, he will never be a real film critic, I barely have my name on the map and I'm more of a real film critic than him, regardless the popularity is irrelevant, I analyze films based on a mixture of my own personal opinions and objective forms of criticism, I care about cinema, I love cinema, this unrefined, soulless shell of a man has no concept nor the inclination to be a true film critic, liberals truly continue to prove that they are unable, no incapable of individual thought, morality and logic.

    At this point I'm assuming all these "defenders" and "anti-critics" are from the "consume the product" crowd. "Just turn off your brain." "Don't think about it." "It's just a line in the movie." "But the effects were cool." "But the dude did the thing and I clapped."

    Blade Runner, if you haven't heard about it, is a sci-fi film. Film, if you haven't heard about it, is a medium where still images are stored sequentially and shown rapidly to give the impression of motion. Images, if you haven't heard of them, are flat pictures, where the light can be projected, or reflected into your eyes. Eyes, if you haven't heard about them........

    I always thought Roy Batty was looking at the constellation of Orion and saw attack ships on fire there, not that he was actually at that star. Otherwise he would have named that star specifically. He didn't because, from his perspective, he wasn't at that star, just looking at it in context to the rest that make up Orion.
