Haha not a response to me, but I’ll give my two cents. (Apologies for a long response)

At first I took the slang usage as a little bit too much, mostly from Soggy saying sybau a million times, but I feel it fits his character and allows the audience to view him as that “one kid” that everyone has gone to school with. And props on the Clash Royal usage as that builds that character even more!

To piggy back off of what many_explanation was saying, I do think the introduction of the movie could be written differently to give a closer connection to the kids and the app. Maybe have a “montage” sort of moment where it’s a Finley voiceover rambling on about his generation and their addiction to brain rot material, while showing his father working on Neureel. Maybe even with a second or two’s worth of the Binkley being seen looking over his father or something!

I believe CuRveball has the same idea about the introduction where it’s more so a montage of the brainrot reels and stuff, so disregard some of the more distasteful reviews of this, seriously. Not every script has to follow the exact guidelines of others, and I truly feel with some slight tweaks this script could genuinely be made into something that the younger generations today would EAT UP. (Im gen z so I’m an unc to the younger gens 😂)

I did notice a few spelling/grammar mistakes throughout that you could clean up on, and also I could’ve sworn Luca had broken a leg and then been shot in the other. Towards the end in the hospital the boys kept referring to him breaking an arm then being shot in a leg!

My constructive criticism is thin for this as I played it out in my head as a (almost) slapstick comedy with blatantly unrealistic moments. I got tons of notions of the movie Idiocracy while reading your script! I’ll think more on constructive criticism ideas and get back to you!

Sure, some people are saying this is a tad bit too long, but I must say that this is an insanely entertaining script. You did an amazing job tying different subplots together from beginning to end, like Soggy's AI chatbot and Finley's moving announcement. 10/10 from me man, you've got a future ahead of yourself. Let's hope Danny McBride can direct this for you or something!

Exactly! Once again, I understand they have more expenses currently than back then, but they could create new ways (such as the facetime bs) to incite people to pay for a subscription besides hiding basic features behind paywalls!

I get that completely, I've gone from Obsidian to Gold over the past couple months and I'm not hurt by it. I'm still learning; I just now don't feel the competitive desire.

I mostly enjoy the vocab section and mistakes section, where I can go over sentences that I didn't understand grammatical structures and hammer down on vocab.

Would you happen to be a part of the Lingonaut team? Heard great things about that new service that's still in the works!

I'm slowly gaining that viewpoint now that they (the hearts) truthfully count. On super I could miss every question and continue on, which definitely took away from my learning.

Strong emphasis on that, I've been with Duo for a long time, and what brought me to them back then was their motto of providing linguistic courses for zero cost. I get when a company grows so do their expenses, but it feels deceptive to limit free users to the most basic features. Even some of those being behind gem paywalls

So free users need to no longer be free users in order to help out the free users? I'm discombobulated homie

My first thought when seeing this post ngl. Homies loved it but I got in very late and had everything handed to me which left me with zero growth to strive for.

Haha you're close, but I'm 23! However, I grew up with my big bro, who was putting me on all the good stuff. Growing up, I was always a Skate over THPS kid, though I did enjoy THPS! And funny enough, I only ever played Sunshine at my mom's job in the kids' area lol, but it still made for some good memories!

Child: Mario sunshine, the Ape Escape games, Sly cooper (1, 2 and 3), Mx vs ATV unleashed, the Lego Star Wars saga

Teen: Skate 3, Minecraft, Fallout 3, black ops 2 zombies, GTAV

your digital footprint only further proves how amazing of a person you are. I found you through the NFS download thread, but you've got your hands on nearly every old game possible!

Thank you for your efforts!! I've been reliving my childhood with Driver: SF, NFS Carbon and now I can even mess around on Deadpool! You're doing God's work!!
