explaining action scenes to my wife at 1AM - John Wick: Chapter 4
funfact; the broom scene wasnt CGI, it was puppets on a well painted moving background combined with shots from the actors on the brooms.
They should've used 'bury a friend' as the soundtrack instead of 'you should see me in a crown''. Bury a friend have that sinister production that slowly builds up and the first line of the song is literally "BILLY", he also technically buried them when he kick them of the road, so it would be such a perfect soundtrack 😭
Wait YES that would’ve been amazing!!! 🤯
Agatha All Along was a fantastic tv series. Everyone who worked on that show should be proud of the end result.
I agree with the first half of this video but towards the end i start to dissagree. Yes in the last episode they use their powers but to say the show resorts to just using mcu lazer beams is silly. Yes they use them but not in a way that goes agains the rest of the show. The show shows us what witches magic looks like several times throught and the final 2 episode they only use it a hand full of times to fight. In the future nal flashback agatha steals power a lot but thats just how her magic looks and has veen established several times through this and wanda vision. As for the Billy ellish song. Sure maybe it was a little cheasy but i dont think it was bad. For me it was one of my favorite moments in the show and left me very hyped for the next episode. I think the issue that a lot of people have with it is not actually due to how it was executed but actually a result of media burnout that cimes with overconsumption of media. Ive noticed that with our generation, we consume so much more media that pervious generations and we also find way more things "cringy" and i think it works to the detriment of our own enjoyment of many things. As someone who doesnt watch a lot of movies, shows and tiktok in comparison to a lot of people in my generation, ive noticed that these strong feelings of disgust at these so called cringe moments arent really a thing. Finally i liked the broomstick moment. I thought ut was fun and a nice monent of joy that referenced witches well. Sure it apparently had bad CGI but as a casual viewer, i didnt notice it at all and beither did the majority of people i know who arent huge film people. Again i think this is an issue with overconsumption/production of media. Also one last thing i dissagree with is the ralph boner scene. Where you highlight it as one of the funnier scenes, it felt like the most flat, unfunny and awquard moments in the show. The joke didnt land with me in Wandavision either. It just felt so randome for no reason and is only supposedly funny because it says bonner. Doubling down on it in this project just felt like beating a dead horse. It was uncomfortable to watch with my family as they didnt get it and overall it just didnt land.
I personally felt that the constraints set for the show’s production heavily influenced the successful results we got. For example, the lack of large-scale action scenes allowed the show to feel much more intimate, which felt very fresh for a Marvel story. Side note: really enjoyed this analysis 💜
Thank you!! 💜
My only disagreement here is on the Billie Eilish needle drop. Because my cackle at that was incredibly witchy 😂
LOL I love that 😂😂😂
Wouldn't call Agatha an antihero. She's most definitely a villain. An amazing one though.
Yes. Her original motive at the beginning of the show was straight up villainous.
More like an antivillain
I think episode 7 and 8 were the best, the rest though, singing and making an antidote in a beach house, it was very cringe and I rarely use this word, plus it is not explained how Agatha and Rio met and became a couple, doesn't make sense why Rio showed up out of nowhere to fight Agatha and warn her about the Salem seven, Billy knows what a sigil is in the flashback but doesn't know what is it when the witches tell him one is cast on him, him seeing Agatha kill Alice then giving her power later and telling her that she's not bad and even letting her stick around after her death, this show has issues
🤦🏻♀️ Because Rio didn't actually want her dead. They're obviously not very open or healthy in this relationship. You may have found it cringe, but most did not.
@XKathXgames bestie you gotta start demanding better
The song was one of my favorite parts. Especially for a show coming out during the Halloween season
so you did not pey attintion
@@crapreact5989 Jen saying "over dead bodies" isn't an explanation for how death met and fell in love with Agatha, stop pretending like this series is so advanced and that those of us that criticize just aren't smart enough to get it
This analysis is awesome! I can't believe this only has a few views!🤨
Thanks so much!! 🤩
I relate a lot with first 'liking' blue rev and that growing into falling in love with it. I discovered Alvvays when I worked at Starbucks and Dreams Tonite would play every now and then on the store radio. Antisocialites as a whole became a regular part of my music listening but I never really ventured into their other albums (besides popular singles) before I kinda slowly forgot about them. Blue Rev eventually came out and I do remember listening to it but it didn't really grab me at first. I remember thinking it was too noisy, kinda all over the place, and different from what I wanted. Within the past year I rediscovered them entirely and I when I went back to Blue Rev it was a completely different story. It was like, "Oh Velveteen is lovely. I love this song." and then from the center of the album the infatuation began. Belinda Says hits like a truck. Many Mirrors is a lovely wispy reprieve from the emotional heaviness of the rest of the album. From the inside growing outward my love for this album bloomed. That freaking "I know you're baaaaaack" after a 5 year wait from Antisocialites is such an iconic opening for the whole thing.
Like the album overall rating ✔️ 😊😊 your content is great just subscribed
Thanks so much!!
I love the first Gladiator and I am really looking foward to see Wicked but Gladiator 2 is just a (not so) cheap rip-off of the first movie. Not really worth seeing it. Imho it brings nothing new to the table.
No it’s not
Here to support smaller channels keep up the good work man hope to see this channel blow up
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the support!
No one gives a shit about gladiator 2 lmao
One of the best reviews of this album I've seen so far and one of the only reviewers that peeped Kendrick's intent to dive into such a regional, quirky and and outlandish soundscapes and flows. It is definitely the best record to put out not only to revitalize his sound and persona but also to introduce new, or rather neglected, sub genres of hiphop into the mainstream. GNX might not have the staying power of a GKMC or a TPAB but it is definitely what needs to be heard from him at the moment.
100% agree! It’ll take a bit of time but this subgenre and sound is going to be so influential this decade, and it’s because he’s always willing to do the opposite of what’s expected of him
This album is great, maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up with them when they were at their peak so I appreciate it a lot more. it’s mostly millennials between the age of 30 and 40 who don’t like their new sound. not to mention some OG fans want Mike to fire Emily due to her ties to Scientology and the fact that she supported a rapist.
Totally agree! I love how it evolves their sound but still feels very Linkin Park. That 2000s era can’t be repeated but instead they re-contextualize it for now which is awesome
They're definitely not the world's best singers but this isn't the kind of music that needs impressive vocal performances. Great party dance music. Sicko reminds me of later Depeche Mode as much as it reminds me of Trent Reznor. I love Real Move Touch, it's one of the most 1997 things I've ever heard. This is in my top 10 (but not top 5) albums of the year.
Seriously! It fits that particular vibe so perfectly, and good point on the Depeche Mode influence, I hadn’t caught that!
Wrong Idea doesn't sound underdeveloped at all to me, the very authentic sounding 90s club vocal sets it apart from the rest of the tracks, very atmospheric and catchy as it is!
Fair point! Wrong Idea has grown on me a ton after repeat listens
I just discovered these guys in the last few weeks (courtesy of a DJ set on the Mixmag channel) and they have rapidly become my new favourite band. I've bought all three of their albums and think they're all awesome. As an aging raver from the UK (48) I absolutely love the old skool rave feel of a lot of their stuff.
They’re so awesome!!! One of my new favorite bands as well 😎
Chappell doesn't seem to miss. I can't name one song where I would say, nahhh. I agree with you: her next album is going to go ballistic. She'll be doing stadium tours in the foreseeable future.
Seriously!!!
ive never seen a better video with this few views
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS????
bro thats what im saying, i would have said something sooner but i had to annotate my classmates analysis papers lol
@ fr its got a detailed analysis of the album and he gives his real opinions. w video
To me, who stopped watching after Endgame, I saw Far from Home, and No Way Home for me NWH ended Peter’s journey in the mcu I’m done ✔️
That’s totally fair! I felt like NWH really was the perfect way to close out Spider-Man’s time in the MCU
@ agreed dude 👍
I love the editing! I enjoyed every second of this video. New sub!
Thanks so much!!
No it's a pretty bad album. The lyrics in particular, are embarrassingly bad.
Having only listened to 1 album and a handful of singles by them, the snippets I heard from Moon Music sound pleasing to try in full. Good review btw
Thank you!!
Best song IAAM (I Am A Mountain) 👍😃👍
Superb Editing! You're Going Places, Dudley. Stay UP.
Thanks so much!!!
'the most adamant generation, ever' is On the Nose, AF
Really well spoken, really good review. 👍
Thank you!!
Best song...Good Feelings!
I wonder which one of Katy's flunkies is gonna have the nerve to tell her that she's 40 and her career is over?🤔
The best thing about this video is the updated discography ranking 😆
I simply love her new album ❤❤❤
Could not have said it better. She’s been going down hill for years especially when she decided to get political. Why can’t celebrities stay out of politics. They’re so fucking removed from reality they don’t know what the hell they’re taking about. So much for feminism while gyrating half naked for the world to see. Just not good at all.
Totally unrelated, but where did you get that ROCKING jacket??? I just couldn’t stop staring at it the whole time!
Thanks!! I got it from Lars Amadeus off of Amazon! 🤩
What happened to your sense of style? really.
I love the album So hush
I kinda like all the love and nirvana.
Katy Perry Won VMAS Most Iconic Performance 2024 , She won video vanguard award 2024 ( MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award ), 25The Greatest Pop Star Of The 21Th Century 2024 ❤ Congratulation Queen 💐🎉❤ so pround and Happy 😊 Plus 143 number 1 ituns and apple album worldwide music . Happy For her😊❤
143 very nice album and great video❤
how good it is to be monetizing this crap video, because many nobodies who have expressly created a UA-cam account to criticize their album and be able to gain likes and clicks like critics, just because of the hatred they have for it and because they earn more by talking badly and it is disgusting
I’ve earned $0 from this video lol. I just love making videos for fun and this record happened to be one that didn’t do it for me 🤷🏻 it’s not that deep
Stream Hot City by Bonnie McKee. It’s way better, and it’s the true successor to Teenage Dream
Nailed it. Empty filler pointless recycled beats 🥱
She just lost it... Sadly. 🙁
Yeah, at this point this entire era is a Hot STANKIN' Mess...🙁🤦♀ Not gonna listen
Its incredible boring 😔 not even interesting for a hate listening. Good video btw!
Thank you!!
facts 🥴🚩
You are so mean and rotten on the inside
Spot on analysis... souless album and the mind boggles that it had so many people involved in the writing and production that it still sounds so generic and dated... 🥲
Dated? I think she's trying too hard to be modern. We were begging for the 2010 vibe again, we wanted teenage dream 2.0, instead we got witness 2.0😩
@@Romanovs_x_1D facts 🥴🚩
@@Romanovs_x_1D exactly. I see some people saying shes failing to copy her past but nothing about this album brings forth that early 2010s nostalgia bar some of the eurotrash production because it doesnt utilize it in that maximalist early 2010s way. Had she gone more sugary sweet and ditched luke im sure this era wouldve turned out very different for her. Although, imo she would never be as relevant ever again regardless.
@@Romanovs_x_1DListen to Hot City by Bonnie McKee. It’s the true spiritual successor to Teenage Dream.
@@Romanovs_x_1DI love Witness.. but this is Katy’s worst album.. In Witness we had songs with emotions but this one.. Nothing.. 😫
