People hated ESB, and now it's hailed as the greatest, and that's how it'll be with TLJ. People will look at it differently and a new generation will approach it withou the baggage of the older trilogies and wookipedia articles. TFA will be regarded as a swashbukling adventure movie, TLJ will the daring shift toward a darker tone, and ROS will be seen as an ending that left us wanting with it's return to the status quo. Wow. Actually they completely matched the critical reception of the original trilogy. Did they butcher ROS on purpose?

The problem with TLJ is, aside from potential inconsistencies with what its message is and how it gets across, and the whole deal with Luke, solely that it’s sandwiched between Force Awakens (an unexciting re-tread of A New Hope), and Episode 9, whose name I can’t even remember because the movie was a strange train wreck that I don’t *want* to remember
One of y'all better be talking about that one small exchange of dialogue between Mystique and Nightcrawler in X2. Where Kurt asks her why she doesn't make herself look "normal" all the time and she just says "Because we shouldn't have to". I still say Rebecca Romijn is the best Mystique.

Morrisons X-men run was incredible. So many ideas and character moments. There's a part that still sticks with me 20 years later where Xaviers brain is dying and Jean is absorbing his consciousness until they can heal his body. It's a beautiful scene when she finnaly tells him "Its ok, let go, die Charles I'll catch you, I promise."

That particular page was the first I ever read of X-Men. I grew up with this through the whole Morrison run and into Whedon's Astonishing X-Men, after which they stopped selling the books in my country. I only went into the older stuff later (and Claremont still holds up to this day), so Morrison's New were the reference, even before the films (I was too young to watch the first one when it came out, can you believe that?). This is in many ways a nostalgia trip for me, so thank you.
4:03 "But Patrick, can you REALLY do a 20 minute video about a single page?" Clearly, this hypothetical inquirer has never heard of Grant Morrison...
Even as somebody who's been keeping tabs on the great OC rewatch on Patrick's Twitter, and therefore should've imagined this kind of thing could happen, it was electrifying for Summer to suddenly interject

Objection! My heart wasn’t ready for an appearance of the Legal Eagle himself 😵
"Damn my perfect analogies!" One of the best lines in the vid.
I’m really enjoying the direction this show has gone. As much as I enjoyed the last musical guests I’m glad to see the trio here. And don’t get me started on Charl. Genius. I’m glad you mended things with him. 😂
The Agent character is giving me extremely strong Weird Guy from "The Hollow" vibes. The Legal Eagle cameo made me pause the video so I could literally LOL. I enjoyed this entire video very much.
A ton of my favorite Film/Literary channels, as well as LegalEagle? I know saying this is overdone, but this is the most ambitious crossover since Universal's Dark Universe.

Honestly, Matt on ukulele with the band is excellent! They sound so good with the three of them! I want to hear more covers by them.
I remember reading the TPB of Morrison's New X-Men for the first time and just having my mind blown. I basically fell off of reading new books for about 6-7 years (in middle and high school, I really focused on discovering new music and films) so I hadn't really read any X-Men since the Clermont/Lee variant covers era. This series is probably the most responsible for me diving back in and becoming an adult comic book reader.
As soon as it cut to the band I hoped...I PRAYED it would be the x-men theme. You earned this thumb up...
These videos are amazing, genuinely, I get to watch an amazing indie movie every week, it's surreal that it only takes a week to do this, these people must work SO hard
Charl just can't keep this kind of momentum. His crash will be as big as his rise.

Mr. Willems' "Oh" is perhaps the saddest thing I've heard in a while. Also before I forget, the X-Tended X-Men discussion from a few years back actually cemented my appreciation, then love for the X-Men. Now I'm a proud comic collector, and X-Men (most notably HOX/POX and Grant Morrison's run) adorn my shelf. EDIT: New X-Men's Wolverine and his need to never wear a shirt is a mood.

It's nice to see you doing comics! There isn't enough video essays about them on youtube, and I find it refreshing. Also, I'm european, so the american comics landscape, weirdly dominated by the superhero genre, is kind of fascinating for me. I own a few american comics myself, my favourite being "The life and times of Scrooge McDuck". It's a prequel to Ducktales telling the joutg of Uncle Scrooge. It is well drawn and it gets surprinsingly dark in some places… Also, there is a scene where Scrooge fights President Roosevelt with a log. If you have the occasion to read it, give it a shot.
That surprise crossover at the end was perfect! It was like seeing Sam Jackson at the end of Iron Man!!!
Damn, Patrick. You're on fire lately.
I for sure will pick up this X-Men series. However, my favorite comic book artist is J.H.Williams III. The way he uses panels, moves the eye, ugh, I love it.

I've took exception to the idea that Morrison introduced secondary mutations. He maybe coined the name, but wolverines healing factor seems an entirely different mutation from his animal senses. Jean was telekenic, which was entirely seperate from telepathy. Mutants with more than one mutation was fairly common.

Locke is pretty good. It feels kind of like a filmed play but the location is just a guy's car and it isn't very visually dynamic (because how many different ways can you really film a guy driving a car) but Hardy is great in it and it's a testament to the quality of the writing and performance that it keeps it engaging for that.

The Last Jedi comparison is so sadly apt. Someone tried to take a series in an exciting new direction and then everything got boring again because they wanted to appease fanboys who can’t let go of 40-year-old media. Only now, instead of a single comic book company, that “serve the old fanboys at any cost” attitude has taken hold at a giant conglomerate that’s set to define an entire media landscape. 😬😬
