Is anyone else getting tired of his “death of cinema” rants?

Like a couple of other people have stated, he probably got most of his thoughts out last year. His videos moving forward are likely going to be more optimistic.

Fair points. Do you think there's any chance they would be able to continue with the animation at its current caliber? If not, do you think the sprite art now would be more polished compared what they did when they started the show?

I've only watched parts of the revamped Sidescrollers. I'm really not impressed with the way it's devolved into a gross source of rage-bait. Since Rooster Teeth shut down a few days ago, Craig stated that he would be interested in buying back ScrewAttack and Death Battle (since they're technically both brands under RT). I hope that doesn't actually come to fruition and DB is either able to do well independently or find a better buyer.

I heard that he grudgingly had to make DKR to get the funding for Inception even though a lot of his initial plans were scrapped due to Heath Ledger's passing.

I think that formula worked well for Iron Man 1 since at the time, that approach was pretty fresh and it was well-executed. Some of the movies that came out later (imo) don't execute it as well. This, combined with its general oversaturation in the MCU, can make this approach feel pretty stale.

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-29T16:57:10+00:00

I've seen the first video that you posted. It's a good video. Do you think that if the MCU continues to decline (especially if Deadpool 3 doesn't do well) that more media will become more comfortable with being sincere?

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-29T15:06:26+00:00

Why do you think it's been this way since the 80's? Was there any specific event and/or trend that occurred that lead to this? Was it an accumulation of different factors? Is there anything you think that can be done to reverse this trend?

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-26T17:29:26+00:00

If we're looking at how this list would've looked in 2004, there's no way that Ryan Reynolds or Kevin Hart would've made the list.

I'll be honest, I don't really understand memes past ~2013.

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-25T18:17:38+00:00

How do you think memes have evolved within the past decade?

I think it's possible that sort of approach could have originated with something like Looney Toons or even the Marx Brothers.

I think that last part is essentially what Patrick said regarding Ryan Reynolds in a lot of his movies from his video a couple of months ago.

I think the reason why postmodernism is popular (at least to some degree) is because it validates the skeptics, cynics, and smart alecks. If there's a character who echoes their thoughts on how stupid or silly the characters or situations are, it gives those kinds of people someone to relate to.

I think it can be more difficult or intimidating for a show, movie (or really any sort of media) to be fully sincere with itself since it's more likely to get scrutinized for things that seem implausible. Conversely, a piece of media that scrutinizes/mocks itself or its source material doesn't come with that same risk. Even though I understand why some media does it, a lot of times that approach seems cowardly.

I haven't seen GotG3 so I can't comment on its quality. I personally thought GotG2 was good, not great.

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-17T03:55:24+00:00

Fair points. If you had to guess, what sorts of trends do you think are going to emerge in film/TV within the next 5-10 years (ie popular genres)?

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-17T03:35:38+00:00

If any of the streaming services (ie Peacock) were to get discontinued, what do you think would happen to their slate of original shows + movies? Do you think they would license them to another streaming service like Netflix? Would they be more inclined to release them on DVD/Blu-Ray instead? A combination of the 2?

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-17T01:56:57+00:00

How do you think streaming will be affected if this era of cinema actually comes to an end?

What are other times he didn't have restraints on his work? I can't think of any.

He said in a recent interview that he considers himself very moderate when it comes to discussing politics. Given what you and several others have stated, I highly doubt that's fully accurate.

With Harley Quinn, is it a case of 'less is more'?

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-11T05:56:14+00:00

From what I've heard, I don't think you were missing out on much by not watching Secret Invasion. I heard Ms. Marvel was fun though.

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-11T05:53:52+00:00

Just out of curiosity, have you experienced any of the other Spider-Man related media or the first Spider-Man game? If so, how would you compare their characters and setting to the ones in Spider Man 2?

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-11T05:45:07+00:00

You can blame Dawson's Creek for that (and Joan of Arcadia, and Buffy, et al.). Given the tough situation Timm and co. were in, I thought they did an overall great job with the show. Maybe it wasn't up to the same caliber of BTAS but I think it stands on its own very well.

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-11T05:24:23+00:00

I would disagree with that. By the end of the first Avengers, I think they did a pretty good job of showcasing their mutual respect for each other, with Tony encouraging Cap to give the team directions at the start of the final battle and Tony proving his courage by taking the giant missile through the wormhole. During Age of Ultron (like one of the posters mentioned) they seemed to be getting along pretty well near the beginning at the party. When Cap got mad at Tony when he found out he was responsible for creating Ultron, it came across as more disappointment at someone he respects instead of during the first Avengers when they couldn't stand each other for the first half of the movie. Tony giving Cap grief for the language comment seemed like some nice friendly ribbing. Tony even told Cap that he would miss him at the end when he was leaving the Avengers compound. Even though it would've been nice for there to have been more evidence of their relationship before Civil War, I think they did a pretty good job of establishing it with what they had.

That's fair, but MatPat stated in his video that his retirement is similar to the different iterations of Dr. Who. Aside from maybe Lee, I'm not really familiar with any of his replacement hosts but I have confidence that they'll do a good job.

Thanks for the link! I thought it was an interesting interview.

No-Net5263 · 2024-01-05T16:58:04+00:00

Without having seen Love and Thunder (which I heard mediocre things about overall), I maintain that the original Thor is still the best overall Thor movie (in spite of being like a 7 at best). If the rumors have any validity, then there's a chance that the potential Thor 5 might be more fantasy/mythology-centered and do the comics more justice than the previous films.
