"One step at a time. One punch at a time. One round at a time." Fun Fact: Carl Weathers, who played Apollo Creed and is still alive (when this movie was made), gave his strong endorsement to the movie and Michael B. Jordan's performance. Jordan felt extremely honored. American Flag Fact: Sylvester Stallone requested that Michael B. Jordan wears the famous American flag trunks that Apollo Creed wore in Rocky (1976) and Rocky wore in Rocky III (1982) and Rocky IV (1985) to keep tradition in the "Rocky" universe. RIP Sage Fact: Just as the film was entering pre-production, Sylvester Stallone's oldest son Sage Stallone died of a heart attack. Stallone has admitted that the loss almost sent him into a full breakdown, but Ryan Coogler was eventually able to convince him to use the film as a dedication to Sage, focusing specifically on the father-son relationships that appear in it. Although initially resistant, Stallone said at the Golden Globes that Creed (2015) helped him cope with Sage's death.

Giving Rocky a family something to fight for again. To be fair.. each entry thus far in the "Creed'" universe has been a mix and match of ideas and themes from the original films.

Ryan Coogler grew up watching Rocky movies with his father. So, when he started making movies, he wrote Creed as a love letter to the originals, as well as a tie to his own father who is no longer with us. After he wrote and directed Creed, he went on to write and direct a small movie called Black Panther. I think it did alright, grossing over $1Billion.

Why would liking this movie make her like that movie?

My take on the movie is this (essay ahead): I love how it was clearly a nod to pretty much every movie in the series (even 5), but it did its own thing and made things fresh. In a way, Adonis’ story paralells Rocky’s. Rocky came from nothing and had to prove he was worthy of the chance Apollo gave him. Adonis, once he was taken in by Mary Anne, had seemingly all the advantages but he had to prove he truly deserved them. As for the brief falling out between Adonis and Rocky, I feel like that was all a big gray area. Neither of them were wrong in that situation, but they were both looking at it without the full context. Rocky wouldn’t have known about Adonis’ abandonment issues to know how hurtful his comment was. He was just trying to detach Adonis to make his condition easier for both of them to deal with. On the other hand, Adonis wouldn’t have known where Rocky was coming from in his decisions either. Rocky by this point had lost pretty much everybody in his life and he was ready to be reunited with them, and he also remembered watching everything Adrian went through with treatment only for it to be unsuccessful. Adonis didn’t have that context though, and he just saw it as another person he cared about abandoning him. It’s a reminder that you never know what a person is going through. This movie also makes Mickey’s speech in Rocky 5 come true: Rocky has lost everything by this point, but Adonis came along and gave him reason to continue on. I like to think it was Adrian helping him from beyond, pushing him to keep living. I feel like she would have welcomed Adonis. As for Rocky becoming a trainer again, I feel like this time he was in a better place to do it. In Rocky 5, he was living vicariously through Tommy because he couldn’t accept his career ending before he was ready on his terms. By the Creed series, he knew and accepted his time in the spotlight was over and he could then focus solely on passing along his knowledge and experience. In a way it brings his story full circle, with him taking on Mickey’s role. As for Rocky’s relationship with his son, I feel like it wasn’t so much a falling out as it was just them drifting apart (again). Rocky knew his son needed to do his own thing and get himself out from his father’s shadow, and Rocky accepted that as hard as it is. I don’t doubt their love for each other as father and son, but they’re so different that there wasn’t much holding them together, especially without Adrian there. There’s also a real-life reason they went this route again: Stallone’s son Sage passed away just a few years before, and it would have been too painful for him if Rocky’s son was in the movie.

"You know how many times I had to carry your father up these stairs because he couldn't walk?" Yes, Mary Anne. I do. It was twice. Ryan Coogler apparently couldn't be bothered to pay attention that "Rocky" told us Apollo Creed has never been defeated, never gone the distance with another fighter (I think they say the furthest he'd ever gone was ten rounds), and had never even been knocked down before. So yeah, it was twice. Additionally, Ryan Coogler did not need to make Apollo a philanderer. This same damn movie could've been made about Apollo's actual son we see in "Rocky II" (Apollo's real children will not even be acknowledged until "Creed III"). There's a reason Stallone kept turning this film down and basically had to be blackmailed into doing it. And Burt Young was pissed off that they killed Paulie. He didn't take it the way Talia did for "Rocky Balboa." I think he was mostly angry that it wasn't Sly himself that killed the character, but just some guy busting his way uninvited into their sandbox. "Rocky V" is absolutely canon. In "Balboa," why is Rocky poor again? Cause he lost his money in "V." In "Balboa," Rocky makes reference to "home team," which was introduced in "V" as his code word for "male bonding." And the Adrian's restaurant (opened in 1995 when Adrian was still alive) is probably a reference to Rocky's raving about Adrian's cooking in "V." Also, one of the stories Rocky is telling at the beginning of "Balboa" MAY be him talking about the street fight with Tommy Gunn. "Rocky V" is the darkest chapter of Rocky's life so there is no reason why Rocky would want to talk about it and bring it up again. Fans think this sort of thing is "continuity" when the real description for it is "fan service." However, "Creed II" also has Rocky making an explicit reference to "V."

Stallone actually has this thing where when he was playing Rocky, he would have the other actor/fighter hit him for real to make it look as real as possible. He told Michael B. Jordan about this and that it should be a part of his "initiation" into the Rocky/Creed franchise. The man that played "Pretty" Ricky was a legit former world champion boxer. In fact, I think all of the fighters that Creed fought (even in sparring) are legit fighters. "Pretty" Ricky was played by Tony Bellew if you want to look him up, but he hit Jordan for real (maybe only 80% power) puch and knocked him out cold.

@@galpeleg143 Apollo was already trained in shape. Remember, the fight happened because the guy he was about to fight got hurt.

🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☑️

Reaja a CREED 2.

Try creed 2

3 sucks but 2 is good

It'd be fun to see you react to the trailer for Creed 2 before going into the reaction of the film. Assuming you don't know what the plot for Creed 2 is yet. The trailer for Creed 2 got me so hyped. When I saw the trailer in the theater the first time the audience actually cheered at the end. Kind of a "Holy sh!t" reaction.

Interesting! Maybe worth doing at the start of a video, since I have no idea 😊

It's rare you see a reaction to this film where the reactor talks their way over every emotional beat. You should have stuck to your original plan and not reacted to this film cause it's not genuine.

It wouldn’t be much of a reaction video if I didn’t talk 😂 plus it has to be transformative to be fair use. There are plenty of boring “mm-hmm, oooh, WHOA” style videos out there for you to enjoy, so I hope you have a great day ☮️

@@RhetoricalThrill I’m sure that excuse will fly pretty well in a theater especially with a black audience.
