Long Movies Are Overrated
How long is too long? Can a lengthy runtime actually hold a film back from being the best version of itself? Come to think of it, what exactly qualifies as “CINEMA”?
Well, let’s try to find out…

Reflections In The Last Of Us Part II
Переглядів 3,9 тис.7 місяців тому
Upon release, The Last Of Us Part II quickly became one of the most controversial video games in recent history. While this may boil down to a few "unpopular" decisions made within the story, I argue all of this was by design. This game offers a reflection to those who play it, forcing us all to take a look at ourselves from a different perspective. #thelastofus #tlou #thelastofuspart2 #tlou2 #...

Переглядів 1,3 млн10 місяців тому
Breaking Bad is recognized by many as one of the greatest television shows of all time. The Walking Dead, on the other hand, has steadily faded from the limelight since its explosive debut in 2010. So why have these two seemingly similar shows diverged so much during their runs on air? This video essay analyzes how Breaking Bad successfully managed to end on a high and why The Walking Dead fail...
Why Breaking Bad Became A Meme

Breaking Bad is widely renowned as one of the greatest television dramas of all time, yet the sudden influx of memes sourced from this series may be cause for some confusion.

HBOMax’s "The Last of Us" series just wrapped up its first season, but what’s next for this franchise?

    Its kind of ironic to me that the experience of seeing breaking bad memes without context vs seeing them with context (watching the show) van be aptly expressee with the meme of dean norris smiling snd frowning. I finished the show a few days ago and Ozymandius is a phenomenal episode of tv but i was almost distracted by my ape like need to yell and holler everytime a meme appeared. All this to say, the memes do not ruin the experience of watchjng breaking bad but are now so deeply baked into its DNA via cultural osmosis that they can be a little jarring imo. I used to quote jesse screaming "he cant keep getting away with this!!" And ive never RVER been more emotionally distraught while quoting a meme before

    it's usually pretty easy to tell early on if a creator has a story to tell or if something is an excuse to make as much money as possible. The Walking Dead comic was largely designed to tell every type of zombie story they could, so there was never a proper endgame strategy... and once the TV show hit, they took that to it's ridiculous extreme. When you start dealing with corporate mega-franchises, they're designed not to leave any money on the table and they're only going to stop when they start losing money... or, more likely, start endless reboots to try to regain profitability. Individual franchises might carve out a true narrative niche for themselves, but after Guardians 3 wrapped up its story, the producers will be discussing how to keep it going.

    What makes the story so bad and ridiculous is the points it tries to make. It’s clearly a story about vengeance and the effects of pursuing/getting it has on the people on around you. Abby gets her revenge against Joel after hunting him down for a long period of time. Ellie is allowed to live but now wants her own revenge on Abby. The whole game she must kill hundreds of ppl, does anything she can to get what she thinks she’s owed, probably ruins hundreds or even thousands of lives through collateral and then at the very end she spares Abby. That is just some bullshit man. Not just from Ellie’s character perspective but also the player. We had to watch Joel getting murdered brutally while we couldn’t do anything and then finally our revenge is at hand and Ellie decides to be “the bigger person”. To me personally, this story isn’t only terrible, it’s insulting. I’m a big believer people can like or not like whatever they want but I myself will never understand how anyone enjoyed this game. Plus Drukkmann endlessly defending his decision to kill Joel, I absolutely guarantee they won’t do the same thing in the show. Joel won’t die until the end of season 2 mark my words and idk I find that so cowardly by Drukkmann because he was so self righteous about his decision being the right one.

    I have been writing as a hobby for a few months now, just short stories and all, taking inspiration from games I've played and movies I've watched, ending the story has always been a problem for me, I get a good start, the content of the story is plentiful, but I just can't fit the ending anywhere, it always feels like there is more to add, writing is really the only time my imagination runs wild like that. Once I heard the quote you used in the beginning I have always tried to end the story, even if I have to cut out the a little bit of fat from it. This video is a masterpiece of an essay

    mate you are a real trooper for watching the walking dead past the second half of season 2. That's where I fell off, when they were spending like the ENTIRE season at the prison and 17 seasons at marshal's farm and even back then it felt like they were tryna milk every single red pence outta every.single.storyline. Then the other thing that turned me off was some time before the mid season (s02) and i cant say when exactly i noticed this but i noticed that the action sequences where they fight a small mob of zombies were becoming so tired an formulaic that like it even seemed like the actors were like "ooooh-kay..now we have to fight the zombies. again. woo."

    • @smokebomb024
      @smokebomb024 2 дні тому

      I thought season 2 was really good, and I still think it is but I think it’s jarring for people binging the show because it has more episodes and paced slower than s1, but paced slower isn’t always a bad thing. In my opinion the show starts to falter in season 4. I would definitely recommend to keep watching at least the rest of s2 and s3 cuz I promise it’s good

    I watched TWD up to season 10, which I think was the ending when the girl with the pink frilly things came in then I just realized Jesus Christ this is terrible. I stopped watching when glenn died in s7 for like 2 years I think I came back when season 10 came back watched up to there then just said jesus christ it needs to end and the spinoffs are too many I stopped watching arrow/supergirl/flash due to the spinoffs that u need to watch them all for the lore I wannaget back into TWD But I cant cause I wanna watch it all with all the lore but I just cant sadly.

    Another important point are the quality of the Spin-offs. Better Call Saul is so insanely good, it's the only Spin-Off ever, to my knowledge, to have people have genuine debates on which one is better: BB or BCS. I never saw this happen before with any spin-off before. At best, it always was "(Spin-Off) is great, but I _like_ (OG). (OG) is just better overall", but BCS somehow was so good that people dare to entertain the idea of it being better than BB, and I think that is unrefutable proof of its quality. I'm not sure how good the Walking Dead Spin-Offs are tbf (and which ones are even out at this point), but considering how Walking Dead "ended", I can't for the life of me imagine them being any good, and being better than Walking Dead is not a very high bar at this point

    I see a lot of suggestions that TWD could have ended when Rick and his group first made it to Alexandria, but I personally disagree. Ignoring the fact that the comics clearly had a continuation, it may have been best to extend Season 5 a bit and end on the scene where Alexandria comes to help Rick after Carl has been shot. It'd be a good culmination of everything and proof that that group was ready to continue surviving, that our worries about the characters could be mostly put at ease. It may have had to have been written a bit differently in the lead-up, but otherwise I'd say it would have been a golden ending point.

    I’m so late to this video but memeing breaking bad has existed for a while since UA-cam poop was popular. So even before the recent boom of breaking bad memes in gen z humor, it has never been surprising or new to me. I will say I just finish watching the entire breaking bad universe recently and can say that even since knowing anything about breaking bad outside of the context of humor (since 2011), it did not impact the drama of the series. Just made me more eager to know what was happening!

    The saddest thing is that even if a show starts going bad, it’ll still make the company money, so they'll just keep making more seasons, lowering the budget with each episode, giving writers less time to write, and let go staff that were carrying the show. Breaking Bad was smart enough to not overstay their welcome, they ended the show after giving it a full story, and they left it at that. They didn't milk the franchise dry by forcing out more seasons

      I'm not saying that it's bad (because I adore it), but saying that they didn't milk the franchise when they made a six season spinoff feels a bit hollow.
