The Fall Guy Is Just A Really Awesome Movie
Believe it or not, over the past couple of years I've largely gone off action movies. Marvel has let me down one too many times, and there hasn't been anything in particular that has grabbed my attention, until I hear about The Fall Guy. Initially I had waited it off as any other action movie, UNTIL I learned that it was being filmed in the motherland of Aus. And as you'll have seen before, I love to support genuinely good content that comes out of Australia as it is certainly few and far between. And this definitely ticks that box. An intriguing story that will keep you guessing, incredibly funny and a heartwarming romance. What's not to love? Nothing, thats what! Enjoy.

In the "off" season of Miraculous that is going painstakingly slow, I've had a fair bit of time to catch up with all things fandom and scour wikis and social media to find any topic not yet covered by me to talk about.

A few years ago, back in 2022, I made a video titled Descendants: The Worst Disney Franchise. And back then I genuinely believed it.

They were too cringe for 2022 me. Well over the past month I've been revisiting these films a...

Why Puss in Boots Is Animation's Greatest Spin-Off

If you grew up in the 90s to 2000s you'll most likely remember a slew of animated sequels that branched off telling stories of characters other than the main protagonist. Often these were confined to home video which was perfectly reasonable given their "simple" quality, but Pixar had to break the mould with Cars 2 and for better or for worse we got more. But in that sea of average to poor qual...
The Prince of Egypt Is One Of The Best Animated Films Ever Made

When you think of Dreamworks' inception, most people consider Shrek to be the beginning. But that isn't factually true. During the 90s and early 2000s Dreamworks released a slew of 2D animated films until Sinbad released and crushed the dream of animating in 2D ever again. So it's safe to say a lot of the 2D films have either become cult classic or lost to time. But there's one film in particul...

    I don’t care how much money a movie makes. If the story isn’t good, and characters are bland, it’s sure to fail. And if you’re going to do a live-action adaptation of a previous movie, then you should pay close attention to the source material that came before it. And I’m not talking about the movie that came out just a few years ago, I’m talking about the story that inspired the movie to begin with. And that is why you fail, Disney.

    I know I'm a bit late to this video but here's my take if they would decide to retry the show. I think they should restart from Wizards. Instead of having the gang be thrown back in time, have Douxie tell the story of Camelot from his perspective. Then in a Wizards season two, show his growth as a wizard throughout the centuries. For Rise of the Titans, make it in episodic format instead of a higher budget movie. This would allow more story to be included and fleshed out. Yes the visuals were better, but writing should be prioritized over animation quality.

    Disney really stole Nuka’s backstory in a sense 💀 I know a lot of Lion King fans remember how his name was Taka, but… his name means “trash.” An heir to the throne with name meaning “trash.” Him being the sibling of an heir while being called “trash” was bad enough. I thought “Askari” was the alleged name one of the people that worked on TLG wanted to use and honestly, it would have made way more sense than being called a piece of garbage. By making Scar and Mufasa not actually biological siblings, the whole story of The Lion King would be based on a lie. I wouldn’t be surprised if they turned out to BE long lost siblings and Mufasa’s parents turned out to be adoptive due to bs happening in the Pride Lands 💀

    They obviously just wanna cash in on the franchise more, and had a genuinely solid plot concept to start with, but their main mistake here was using Mufasa and Scar. I would've loved a movie in that universe with a similiar plot. But they should've used anybody else. Like Kiara and Kovu's future cub/cubs, or even just introducing us to Mufasa's parents. But they instead used characters with already established lore that they felt like changing in order to create the narrative they preffered. Which is shitty writing at best, a disgrace to the franchise if I'm honest.

  • @nymexyl
    @nymexyl 3 години тому

    I guess that they're completely getting rid of the lion guard lore too then. Literally one of the main details of the show is that the first born child becomes heir, and the second becomes the leader of the gaurd, and Scar was a former leader of the lion gaurd. I get a lot of animated shows like that deviate from their source material, but come on guys.

  • @nymexyl
    @nymexyl 3 години тому

    I can already almost guarantee this is because of the Kiara x Kovu thing. Kovu is Scar's son in all but blood, which makes the two feel very related and makes it weird and incest coded. But is is NOT any better if they're just adopted brothers😭😭 its just screwing with the plot even more.

    2:02 It's because apparently the Komi speak got lost in translation, since it was in the sub, which led to Erin Fitzgerald & Reba Buhr to think that she talks normally until Tom found out & that's why she started to talk like that in Season 4.

    I really enjoyed this show. It was super funny and entertaining to watch. I agree with some of the other comments that it could have focused a bit more on Knuckles rather than Wade, but I actually really liked the absurd humor. I thought the musical episode was hilarious and such an inventive way to show Knuckles’ backstory to Wade and the audience. My only major complaint about it is that Wade’s sister was super annoying and acted like a six year old and wasn’t believable as an adult, certainly not one that works for the FBI. Even though all the other ridiculous stuff worked for me, her whole character just didn’t for some reason. But overall it was really fun and I’m glad I watched it! I will probably even watch it again sometime!

    I think your looking at fabrication through to much of a critical lens. Its not supposed to correlate with canon. Thats not the point if fanfiction. The point is to explore possibilities. Draco and Hermione wouldn't work in canon. But its fun to read and write about a forbidden romance.

    Well, sometimes everything we seen is not always what we’ve seen. For nearly 9 years of Lila, she was one slippery weasel who was never a Lila Rossi person at all. Who knows what she’s been doing in the other school to backstab another student who probably saw through her lies but failed to expose her. Chloe has no experience in everything in her life because she has made Sabrina do everything like a servant for who knows how long without gaining g enough life experience. Don’t get me wrong but in my opinion, Lila probably did change Chloe to the worst brat she became by manipulating her a lot. I’ve seen how manipulation has happened in my high school life when cool kids get popular, the next they go for another to replace. On top of that, we all didn’t know she wore a wig the whole time as well as fake eye color contacts which obviously should’ve caused dry eyes the longer she wore it. Which explains why she skips gym class. Especially lying with having fake illnesses without a doctor’s note to prove it to the teachers. Not even her checking identification that doesn’t even exist in records, that would be like a crime punishment if she gave out her fake identity. I hope in season six, Ladybug figures out who is the new holder because only one person would have a deep hatred for her. Especially her civilian too. Even who was an ally to Gabriel and Monarch in his companies too. Especially when Gabriel fired Lila which leads to revenge.

    @winterrain3528 14 годин тому

    Another thing worth noting is in the original 1994 Lion King, when Mufasa is confronting Scar about his absence from Simba's presentation, Scar says, "When it comes to brains, I've got the lion's share, but when it comes to brute strength... I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool." This line confused fans for many years regarding the legitimacy of Mufasa and Scar's brotherhood, and in the 2019 remake, the writers seemingly clarified the confusion by rewriting Scar's dialogue, with him saying "When it comes to brute strength... I'm afraid my big brother will always rule," more-or-less confirming that Scar and Mufasa are, indeed, biological brothers. What I ask now, is why the Hell did the creators decide they're unrelated in this prequel when it's been pretty firmly established IN-UNIVERSE that your two most important characters are, in fact, related? Make👏 it👏make 👏sense.👏
