Typically this scene is discussed within the context of the conflicting ideologies or philosophies of the two main characters, or with regards to its implications for worldbuilding, but here I chose to delve into individual characters' backstories to see how the pieces of the puzzle fit together - quite nicely if I do say so myself. #MCU #CivilWar #OneMarvelousScene

Kevin Conroy for life, baby. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27056817 Discord: https://discord.gg/DAWUXTMzCf The Batman is a stunning and unique creative endeavor, combining a neo-noir detective aesthetic with a Fincher-esque cat and mouse plot to draw the viewer into this new, 'grounded' take on Gotham. It's got style and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about where they're going with this version of Batman; but overall the film was quite disappointing. Very disappointing actually. The wingsuit scene was cool though... I guess. #TheBatman #VideoEssay #Batnipplesforever

Cine ești și cum ai intrat în casa mea? Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27056817 Discord: https://discord.gg/DAWUXTMzCf The point of the video wasn't really to review the film as a whole, as that would take significantly longer and I only wanted to cover how the ending effects the overall product, but I would like to take this opportunity to sing its praises: Chloe Okuno's direction is phenomenal and the cinematography in general is gorgeous. I didn't go out of my way to include the best-looking shots in this video, the whole movie just looks that good. So natural and yet so iconic. The film is set in Romania and I appreciate that it likens the Spider to Dracula by often casting him in shadows, framing him above Julia, calling our attention to the Dracula figure Julia bought for Francis and having the Spider draw blood from her neck. Maika Monroe and Burn Gorman's performances are outstanding - maybe the best of both of their careers. The way she conveys so much emotional substance with extremely subtle changes in her facial expressions and demeanor demonstrates undeniable skill. And his depiction of a loner serial killer ranges from pitiable and human to monstrously intense without ever feeling artificial or exaggerated. Watcher is well-directed, beautiful to look at, atmospherically rich and elevated by actors who own their respective roles. It's a film that I intend to rewatch and appreciate all over again at some point in the future. Although I have my issues with the ending and its impact on the film's believability, I don't want those criticisms to overshadow my admiration for what it got right. 8/10. #Watcher #VideoEssay #BelieveAllWomen

Jack Reacher is tightly-written action thriller from 2012. Although it didn’t exactly cater to the expectations of fans of Lee Childs’ books, largely owed to the casting, it was a fun and engaging film in its own right. Its sequel, however, is a case study in how to torpedo a franchise before it ever gets off the ground. On this episode of Sequelitis, we ask: Why was Jack Reacher neutered in his own movie? How can a film with such heart spawn such a soulless sequel? And is Helen Rodin waifu? Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27056817 Discord: https://discord.gg/f3VthPaC Full disclosure: I have no association with Egoraptor or his videos of the same name. It’s funny – I decided I wanted to start a series of videos where I criticize lackluster sequels to good movies and the first name that came to mind for this series was “Sequelitis.” And then, as though this episode of my life was penned by a Hollywood hack who can’t help but write contrivance-filled, Tumblr-smut-tier stories, I very conveniently came across Egoraptor’s channel and found out he beat me to the punch. He covered video games though and owed to the fact that I plan to cover film, for the most part, and am separated from Egoraptor by several years and an entire Ocean, I have decided to use the Sequelitis format for my own work. Once more, I am not in any way affiliated with Egoraptor nor do I have any claim to the Sequelitis brand – if that is a thing – and I’d go as far as to encourage others to use the format to broadcast their own takes on sequels that don’t compare to their progenitors, in any genre or medium of storytelling.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27056817 Discord: https://discord.gg/DAWUXTMzCf Jim Jarmusch's "The Dead Don't Die" is an excellent case study in what not to do when trying to maintain the audience's investment and an interesting example of how the concept of "subversive storytelling" is somewhat paradoxical in nature. The film is both endearing and downright boring but when you dig beneath the surface there is a wealth of quirks that give dimension to an otherwise wasteful work of art. #TheDeadDontDie #VideoEssay #Review

Some say that Spider-Tom is the best Peter Parker/Spider-Man ever to grace the silver screen. Some say that he is the definition of "unfaithful to the source material." In this video I address the adaptation debate directly; in an attempt to resolve the dispute in a manner that won't sow more division among fans.
