The Iron Giant is an Underappreciated Masterpiece
THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE MOVIE
The Iron Giant is a movie that, while it is very well liked, I still believe isn't widely talked about enough, even less so than all of the directors other works like "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille". So, as a big fan of this movie I feel it necessary to speak up about the mastery of filmmaking genius that this movie really is.

    Wow, I disagree with (almost) everything you said here. No, these games are not underrated gems, they're garbage, a misstep that shouldn't have happened and that plagued the franchise ever since with its bad choices (I mean, criticize the state of Scarlet and Violet all you want, everything comes back to XY when you look at it). The "almost" was for the rivals when you said that they were bad, because they are, they're the worst and I can't even say I hate them because like most of the content of this game, I don't remember them (which is good).

    I'm honestly shocked that there are so many people who didn't play the Looker quest. I mean you want more to do in the postgame, here is more to do in the postgame, why don't you play it? It's not even difficult to trigger the episode. Another thing, I want to be the Diantha defend persone here, though this is honestly a special case for me, I guess. Yes her presence in the game isn't very large, but for me that actually was beneficial, because it created a core memory from XY. You meet her, like twice before you reach the league, meaning you know she exists, but maybe you kinda don't realize she's a big deal. Pokémon X was my first game as well, and it's actualy kinda funny because I was super invested in the story back then, but I didn't really register most of what was said, like Diantha for example. Before I got to the league, my friend, who already beat the game, told me that our rival was actually the champion. So I went into the league, a bit disappointed that I would just face Calem again. But the league was actually really tough, not anymore, because I'm not a first time player anymore, but I still got an amazing experience out of it, and that's all that matters to me. Now, I finally beat the last member, and this gigantic door opens, and I am allowed to step into the light and face the champion. But instead I just see a majestic looking hall with an empty throne and a very pretty pattern on the ground, which actually brings me to the champion. Finally there, I am suprised not to see Calem, but Diantha standing there as Champion, and for me, not only felt reaching the Champion like a reward, but I was rewarded with the pleasent suprise of getting to battle this majestic looking person instead of our Rival. That was Diantha for me. Fast forward to me replaying Pokémon Y last year, and I was actually battleing a bunch in the battle Chateau or what's it called, so I was fairly overlevelled and maybe didn't have my guards up that much. But Diantha actually managed to defeat the Majority of my Pokémon when I battled her, so I'd say she's at least a lot tougher than people give her credit for. In the end I want to say that I'm glad to see more people enjoy my favourite Pokémon game.

      That’s a really interesting perspective on diantha. I hadn’t really considered the lack of common appearances to enhance the final showdown with her near the end so that a great thing to hear about. Was great hearing your story about the game, I always love hearing people’s experiences with them. Also yes looker postgame NEEDS more love lol

    We're going to Kalos again, and it's only gonna take one more year! One more year! One more super-duper year! One more super-spectacular, extra-magical, extra-fantastical year! Real talk though, X was my first Pokémon game (influenced by the then-current anime saga, although 2 years after the original release, meaning I missed out on some events), and the Kalos region and its residents hold a special place in my heart. I can't wait to see just how much attention will be given to this underrated region once Legends ZA hits.

  • @dariuslynard158
    @dariuslynard158 2 місяці тому

    X and Y put Gen 6 solidly in my Top 3 Gens. I loved so much of what these games represented and how they handled the region. Kalos felt alive, and these are the first games I played up until exceeding 999:59 play time. Unfortunately I never touched the Looker postgame and spent most of my time in Kiloude City challenging the Battle Chateaux. But this inspires me to go back.

    X and Y could of been perfect with a third version, or just a little bit of time. Things X and Y flopped on. Lysandres: Motives, his goal didn’t make sense, he cared about the world losing its beauty. But then he was all suicidal and wanted to create genocide to destroy the world? It’s hypocritical, and then in X blasting the world to cause things to be immortal is like more aligned with preserving beauty (I guess?) but then he’s just immortalizing his suffering. - Team flare, not rememberable imo. - Gym leaders/Elite 4 only having 2 moves for their Pokémon or bad Ai, Elite 4 only 4 Pokémon. No megas used in the main story besides mega Lucario. - Closed Power plant, Couriway town station doing nothing, Southern Kalos just being virtually nothing. - Lack of events/post game content. Lack of legendaries. Like they could of easily made Diancie have a plot line in reflection cave, Volcanion with the power plant and something for hoopa. Pacing and leveling is way too fast. They definitely should of chose to expand more on AZ’s lore and background and involvement in the story. The narrative of the ultimate weapon and floette should of been been the primary focus. Team flare was tied into it yes, but I feel like it just needed more cohesion

    X and Y were bad for the time. The jump to 3D, the Gen 1 pandering, the boring plot and exaggerated villains, the lack of challenge, the laughably easy to catch Legendaries and lack of legendaries in general, lack of postgame. But in hindsight X and Y were very charming and had a lot of care and passion put into them. I have more to compliment gen 6 on than I have insults. I love Kalos, but I admit I gave it lots of hate when it came out.

    I think online people have a tendency to write off mediocrity(not in the negative way) as outright bad, which makes discussing games hard. My issues with XY are mostly a loss of potential, this game had issues but felt adjacent to issues of other first engine titles before a third version. So i dont like it, but its still a good pokemon game. DP was still fun as a kid even if flawed

  • @mattm6147
    @mattm6147 3 місяці тому

    this was a fun watch!! it’s nice to see this game form your eyes but since it was the first pokemon game you played there is a desire to find the good in this game. but i think it was almost mean to fail in the way DP failed (and pearl was my first game) considering both generations were meant to set up the series for future installments. the game is beautiful and sounds great but at the cost of generic characters and ANOTHER world ending plot as if galactic’s motives weren’t already an attempt to one-up magma and aqua. i think AZ is a great character but imagine if he was in integrated more in the player’s journey instead of tacked on at the end in the form of exposition. i don’t think it’s a coincidence his 2,000 years scene is now a meme over being remembered as a heartfelt moment. i go back to this game because i legitimately feel like it makes a good game for challenge runs, but im just relieved GF took many critiques from XY and did not repeat them. but damn those rivals get on my damn nerves.

    Some things I would generally say... -The GenVI rivals, comparing them to their direct predecessors from GenV, Cheren, Bianca, and N, what the GenVI rivals have going for them is that you can go ten steps in X/Y without a rival challenging you. That genuinely drove me up the wall in B/W. The only rival in X/Y that you fight a whole lot is the opposite gendered player character and it's honestly fairly well paced. -Team Flare, I really think they're only considered 'bad' because they came right off the heels of Team Plasma which are regarded as the best written villainous team in the franchise. (Personally, I'd argue it's specifically N and Ghetsis that are a notch above what we've come to expect with Pokemon villains, and Team Plasma as a whole is a bit overrated.) Flare, at worst, was just formulaic for a villainous team in the series. As for Lysandre's motivation, I've joked with friends that 'Lysandre didn't get the memo that he's in the Pokemon world rather than the real world'. His logic would be a lot more compelling if talking about the real world, but it's an extremely bizarre viewpoint in the Pokemon world. Honestly, my biggest grievance with Team Flare is that they find Xerneas/Yveltal completely off-camera, whereas since GenIII we've seen the villainous team capturing (or at least finding) the legendary Pokemon required for their plan before our final showdown with the team. -Speaking as someone who's been around since GenI, GenVI was the last time I was passionate about playing. People swear by Sun/Moon as a straight improvement of X/Y, but Sun/Moon was the first time where I said 'just another Pokemon game', though I acknowledge and appreciate that they at least tried to do something different with the 'gym leaders' in that game. Sword/Shield was the most bland, cookie-cutter experience I've had in a core Pokemon game. (Never bought the DLC but I hear it vastly improves the game.) Scarlet/Violet tries some interesting things, but I can't get past the fact that the game runs so bad. I will acknowledge that there might be some ethnic bias in me liking X/Y (being of French descent, French/British descent to be exact, the fact that Kalos was based on France had my undivided attention pre-release), but yeah, Y was the last game I actually really loved and played passionately. Not counting LA, a genuine game-changer in a stale formula. Speaking of Legends, Z-A being a Legends game set in Kalos makes for the first Pokemon game in years that I'm genuinely excited for. Here's to hoping that the apparently longer development cycle means good things are in store for us.
