Disney managed to start a discussion about "franchise Fatigue" after like what? 3 years? It took them 3 years to make us tired of a franchise that started in the 70's... Now that's impressive
Yeah, despite my hatred for the Prequel movies I never saw any news outlet go "are people tired of Star Wars yet?" because it still made money.
People are not tired of Star Wars they are tired of "Disney's Star Wars"
Weekend Warrior There was good spinoff material during the Prequels though, such as KOTOR, the Clone Wars video games, etc. Nowadays, I am not so sure I care much about the games now.
I like the Prequels more than the OT... But now I love the Prequels and the OT because of these new ones
lol marvel put out like 30 marvel movies and infinity wars STILL made 2 billion dollars.
The last jedi killed starwars. if it was good solo would have made 800 million at least. people hated the last jedi so much that all the next movies will fail.,
Very divisive is a charitable way to describe The Last Jedi.
I'll wait for Cantina Band: A Star Wars Story.
The rise of the four best boys? Seems good.
Han: I have no people
Han: (tells a story about his father later on in the movie)
L3: We will not stand for this oppression, we should be free!
L3: (gets permanently added to the Falcon & has to live out her entire life as a Navigator stuck in a ship)
>Han: (tells a story aboout his father later on in the movie)
Imma quote one of my subs, Solo gets worse the more you think about it.
I think it was pretty cool. L3 lived to help the oppressed and now continued to do so flying together with the Rebellion against the Empire.
I’m still confused on what she’s an allegory for.
*they weren’t that clear with it*
@@Nintendoggy she got flying Dutchman'd.
@@Nintendoggy Yeah, but by being a wall clog in the ship?
I think the thing that is missing fron Alden's "Solo" performance is actually something that the original _didn't_ have, which is actual charm. Though many people say Solo is supposed to be dashing, charming, suave, etc., the original was actually not very charming IN THE TYPICAL SENSE. While many see him that way, I believe it's because of Harrison's natural charisma and presence that gives his character that feel. Solo, as a character, is actually quite "doggish" and simple, having the feel of someone who really does work in smuggling cargo; he isn't cocky in the typical sense, and everything about him feels organic. Ford as a man doesn't have the typical "pretty boy" or "handsome" appearance -- he IS handsome, just not like typical hollywood actors. Alden, however, has the pretty boy look. "His" Solo has the typical cocky, arrogant behavior that most daring heroes have. I think that's why many people don't like him. Ford's Solo felt like an average guy, but he was cool as a result of that: he had a natural "cool" about him, and he doesn't look like the archetypal hero. Alden's Solo feels more forced and "injected", like he's trying to be suave and charming. He doesn't feel or look like someone who belongs to the underground smuggling ring, he looks like a hero.
@Vinny from Brooklyn! thats a yikes for me bro
My Mother says, "I love Han Solo because of his confidence; I still get chills when Han instantly pulls his blaster, and fires at Vader when they're at Cloud City."
Also Mother, "I didn't like Solo, because it felt like an actor trying to pretend to be Han Solo."
It's suffering from the fatigue of it sucking!!!
ShogunOrta what angry about. Maybe your angry because you wanted it to be bad but it not.
Ah, what are you being so presumptive about? I'm not mad or angry. Guess I should have put my post in the right context. I thought the movie was okay. I based my post on what many many people seem to be saying on youtube. There you go, more of a general consensus thing.
Solo released already? I wasn't aware of that. Wow. I'm a fan of Star Wars and this is how much I'm interested in this movie.
Yeah, its that much of a failure.
Whoever was in charge of building hype for the movie really fucked up.
Also, as an engineer and someone who has a minor in astrophysics, I DESPISED the inaccuracies in the "Last Jedi." >( HOW TF DID THE BOMBS DROP IN SPACE??!!
There was gravity on the ship, they fell from inside the ship. Unless another force was imparted upon them, they would just continue to move in the same direction
Characterization Time
Han - A grinning, wannabe smuggler with almost negative charisma that can see into the future except when it comes to ladies that learned to not trust people after not trusting people. Is amazing at Sabac, flying, and shooting and always has been. High score for Kessel Run by using nitros even after going off-course, evading Empire, tricking giant space monster, and almost getting sucked into gravity well. *Cough fraud Cough"
Chewy - A creature that doesn't kill Han because he speaks Wookie, even though he understands English. Gives his life to Han on a whim, even when given the chance to run before meeting Drident and risking his life. Meets people, frees people, leaves people for Han again because he's so damn charismatic. Useless in film climax making him just so cool.
Kiera - Just a small town girl living in a lonely world. Loves Han because he's Han. After 3 years becomes a top assassin somehow and second in command to a dude reporting directly to Maul by doing "things". Screams to increase grenade explosion radius. Is evil because plot after pulling quintuple betrayals in the span of 15 minutes. Now Maul apprentice for spin off movies.
Becket - Reloads guns through flips like a Blazeblue character. Had a train robbery planned that had no chance of working without Han and Chewy. Waifu dies in a millisecond after he triggers death flag. Tells Han to not trust people and to think ahead, then is dumbstruck when Han doesn't trust him and thinks ahead. So dumbstruck that he becomes brain dead leaving the office for Drident boss battle instead of killing everyone leading to his death by Han. RIP
Lando - Opposite of Han, all charisma with no actual skill in anything else. Got to Kessel on easy mode and had waifu droid die in his arms after ripping her in half. Loves capes. Cheats at Sabac. Pansexual because some one said so even though movie doesn't support this claim. Coward right before movie climax. Useless except for ship and droid.
L3 - An unintential joke of a character that has best map in head because plot. Wants to free droids that were at war with the galaxy a few years prior. Turns out to be right about droid sentience right before getting domed. Now a part of the Falcon for the rest of time. Bet that she is gonna be in episode 9 somehow.
Drident - An evil prick. Kills governors. Likely to have sex slaves and has branding fetish. Has Han's plan given to him but still doesn't prepare well enough and dies for it without accomplishing anything. In 15 minutes of movie between 2 scenes. Does almost nothing in film. RIP
Little Girl - Random ass character that somehow leads group of proto-Rebels. Killed Becket's waifu and pilot but expects sympathy from Becket and Han. Says Han could be general because of one simple plan. Deep voice modulator.
Maul - Honestly best character in movie by having little lines. Has robot legs. Turns on lightsaber for fanservice and it's so red it's red in the hologram. Get ready for Maul. A Star Wars Story. Overrated by fans just for looking cool.
Becket's Waifu - Shoots droids to reveal her position. Can't aim for shit. Loses blaster but because droids are incompetent has time to say goodbye and self-destruct without even trying to live or think of another solution. RIP
Four-Arms - Pilot that can't take on one maurader with multiple sets of fuckin arms before dying like bitch. Says Hans a good pilot for going same speed as train. RIP
Space Monster - Lives next to only thing that can kill it for however long. Then gets sucked into gravity well with no sense of self-preservation over a small ship. RIP
Lady Proxima - So much time and effort to create a giant water centipede and use it for 5 seconds in the movie.
Definitely didn't like this movie but had some laughs when L3 died and some Lando moments like his book narration. Boring action, no tension, little sense in plot, and mostly subpar acting. But it's a Star Wars movie so 9.5/10, not enough L3.
Edit: I forgot the most important aspect of the movie, the dice. This film revealed the massive scope of their importance in this franchise and make TLJ even better than it already was. Read below for this explanation.
True Rating: 9.8/10
I'd also add "golden dice - it's important now because we made it so, so the last jedi is super meaningful now guys"
Weekend Warrior Yes the important dice. They were given the meaning of Han having them so they are important. That's how meaning works. You have an item that represents a character thrown into the movie after they die and are never seen with or talking about the item. Then you release a prequel film about the character just having the item with no significance given to them in the movie but because the character has them in the final scene of the movie then they are given meaning. Through this the dice are important in Solo and it has more meaning through retrospect in TLJ. One of the most important aspects of this movie, no this universe and I forgot about it. I dont deserve to even watch these movies. Thanks for helping me see the error of my ways. Let me correct my rating.
You forgot to give a blurb about the arguably single most important character in the film: Random Imperial Recruitment Officer: Uncaringly and meaninglessly gave us one of the most iconic names in cinema history, not to mention the very title of this film.
I am truly grateful for this panel of Internet Scientists giving this channel **excellent scholarship**
Wait, that was SABAC that they were showing in the movie? I had misheard it as "Pazaak" in the movie and gotten myself worked up over them completely changing "Pazaak" from how it was in the Knights of the Old Republic games (which are really good; play the first one for a straight Star Wars experience and the second one (with the Restored Content mod) for a deconstruction (and reconstruction?) of Star Wars and, to a lesser extent, certain RPG mechanics).
Look up Anthony Ingruber here on UA-cam. He looks EXACTLY like a young Harrison Ford. He could be his clone or his son. He talks like Ford and has the same facial impressions. Disney/LucasFilm made a huge mistake in not casting him.
I actually saw that during my research, but I couldn't fit it with the final product.
" Hi my name is Hand, you can call me Han. I'll give you the D."
"Go back home."
"I have no home"
"So you're... Solo?"
Unfortunately only 50% of my comment is a joke D:
the 'ol han-d job
Fitzfactor oh god that part was so awful.
Man, the gravity well, and the monster, and the fuel dump..... That sounds like the end of JJ Abrams Star Trek (the 1st one)
Lol shit inspiring shit
Emilia Clarke is not that good at acting, she just has a lot of fans because of her charming personality irl
And cuz she’s a QT 6.28.
I watched Rogue One because I liked episode 7. I skipped Solo because I disliked episode 8.
Me too
pennehoesje ikr
# mee too
Pretty much, yep.
yup
People don't get fatigued from good movies/TV shows. That's why binge watching is even a thing. Solo failed because of The Last Jedi.
This reminds me of the time Dunkey beat Sky in smash...
**not even close baybeeeee**
Is when a character with two blades disarm someone instead of just cutting their arm off or decapitating them or do anything else except rendering the opponent temporarily defenseless
You talking about the *throne room* scene from The Last Jedi?
Jnaejnae Marvel movies have people getting stabbed or arms cut off, or a guy taking an axe to the heart, or some guy dying from having his neck broken, basically Marvel is now what Star Wars used to be. Heck, the way Thanos broke Loki's neck and killed him was done in about the same way as Vader breaking the Rebel officer's neck in the beginning of A New Hope.
@@KaosNova2 Thanos also got his head chorped off five minutes into Endgame.
Thank you for seeing it so I don't have to!
You're welcome!
I think a good rule for this movie would be "Don't see it if you have something better to do."
Well you should. If you watch it and you dislike it then it is because of your own opinion not because of some random guy on the internet.
Etneciv Lego I formed my opinion from the first trailer. I will not give Disney my money for this movie.
Also, WW is not random. He's Senpai.
Sven Servette Don’t judge a book by it’s cover my fellow nerd. If you don’t want the give Disney money just watch it when some tv station airs it. Or you know... there is always... the internet...
Etneciv Lego I didn't rule it out. I never said I did. I'm not seeing it in the theater.
That pic of Alden with short hair will be engraved in my mind forever
I agree with your points. The film was OK, but not very memorable. Not a good look for a SW film.
But there was hype built up for Solo. It was the gold dice in TLJ.
Great job Kathleen Kennedy.
Oh yeah!
That thing!
Yeah!
Good job Kathleen!
Real talk, was that dice ever in the Original Trilogy? I can't seem to remember it.
No
@@WeekendWarrior1 A forgetable part of ep. IV.
Forgetable enough they never showed up in ep. V & VI.
When I watched this movie with some friends, I ended up going on a 40 minute tirade afterwards. One of my recurrent complaints in that rant was based around the question of “Why is this stupid set of golden dice from The Last Jedi the main character in the Solo movie?” They have more screen time than half the cast!
See I thought L3 was a joke character too, but when she freed the droids they started going ape shit and rebelling. So she was right in terms of droids having free will and being sentient. If for example she freed the first droid and it just kept doing what it was doing it would have shown how silly her plight actually is. Also when she died it was drawn out so long and dramatic with sad music playing. Maybe if Han or some one recognized the absurdity of the situation then maybe I could see her being a parody, but I think she was intended to be a serious character.
That's why I want to see the Lord and Miller cut, since I think the scene will be 1000000% played for laffs.
I still found everything so funny.
Anybody miss HK-47 yet???
I sure do.
I always miss HK-47.
HK-50 is far better.
I love Harrison. He reminds me of my dad.
Solo could've been good if the direction was an action flick that made his name known, like a big heist or something and structure it as a sci-fi heist film instead.
The deeper issue with no one asking for this film is the fact that it really doesn't add anything to anything. There was no reason to make the film, since he doesn't really need a backstory, and in the current state of the universe, his backstory doesn't add to anything or effect anything moving forward. It's the frame issue with the prequel films. THAT'S why people kept saying that no one asked for it.
You forget about the disastrous PR campaign before the movie was released.
Again I must admit I haven't watched the movie but since I don't care and I have already been spoiled I can just jump right in the video without having to wait in excruciating pain
I have one thing to say about this movie, and it's a quote.
"Goddamnit! I have pinpointed the moment i gave up on modern SW movies and it was the fuel, it was the fucking fuel!" - CinemaSins.
Also, WW, great video as always ;d.
Thanks as always, Sulfur! 👌👌
This is my favourite channel now, your seriously underappreciated.
This review is why your channel is one of my favorites❗️
👌👌👌👌
Oh hai Weekend Warrior
oh haaaaaaaaaaaaaai
I saw it with my sister. We both laughed out loud five or six times, but never when it was actually trying to be funny. It was awful.
It was really, really awful.
The only time I laugh with the movie was when Lando left everyone.
My biggest laugh was the whole "SJD dying" sequence.
Dr Shaym I found it great but yeah it had some awful moments
@Player One Why are they stupid? Just saying they are isn't enough.
WW your reviews are great man. Thanks for making these.
👌👌👌
Last jedi killed solo. Money talks, and the boycot is happening.
Wow I cant believe this was 4 years ago! Still love the video
3:29 that scene legit made me emotional... again
and steve understanding a reference warms my heart
7:49 finally someone gets it!
In all seriousness, I agree with you for the most part. But I also agree with the idea of fatigue. Fatigue doesn't only come from quantity of something.
There's no doubt that TLJ was controversial, and for a lot of disgruntled fans, not enough time passed for them to get over their feelings of that movie and get hyped for another. They were practically promoting Solo from the moment TLJ ended. You couple that with fans not being ecstatic about Rouge One (the other "star wars story") and you have a recipe for lukewarm reception.
Yeah, I think the fatigue doesn't really come from the product in this case, but how they're handling it. Does that make sense? Marvel should be stale at this point but those guys are still going strong.
Totally makes sense. Marvel also has a huge universe and history to draw from. I think RLM said it first that the Star Wars universe isn't really that big (especially after scrapping all EU material). They really do need to be creating new stories (the def. had enough hype for it), but so far everything has been either a flashback or a continuation of the same story.
"Let the past die" Kylo says after starring in the third film to focus on expanding a past story.
Disney through Kylo Ren - "Let the past die."
Also Disney, through Solo - "Hey guys, we referenced things from a past movie! ISN'T THAT GREAT"
Weekend Warrior Didn’t Kylo Ren killed his dad in TFA . . . in a reference to Vader killing Ben in A New Hope.
[Cue clip of Big Van Vader delivering a Vaderbomb on Uncle Ben]
It's fatigue of bad movies repeating iconography and story beat's of the original trilogy to exhaustion. I think that the reason the prequels as bad films as they were didn't do the damage TLJ did to the franchise was because it create new fresh things (this trilogy basically is Empire VS Rebellion all over again), planet's, ships, aliens species, a new type of army to face the "stormtroopers", characters (even if Lucas was incapable of exploring them in meaningful ways in the movies, but Grievous for example is great in Clone Wars) and was visually interesting (like Attack of the Clones is atrocious in story, but the final battle is beautiful). Even if pissed the old fans it made new ones and create material for the next decade of EU expansion.
This made me laugh so fucking hard because I actually _did_ watch this on an airplane... there was no way I was gonna see it in theaters, but then I was on a 14 hour flight to the US and saw it on the list of movies and went "eh why not". Watched it in two sittings as well because during the first one I fell asleep. That's the kind of movie it is.
videos like this are actually making me want to get back into star wars
For all its faults, I DO like that Solo gave an explanation for why Han's boasting about his completion of the Kessel Run in Episode IV used a measure of DISTANCE instead of TIME.
I respect how you feel about the Kessel Run scene. I enjoyed it. It was so weird for Star Wars with the big Cthulhu monster getting it's skin sucked off, having it only be a skeleton momentarily, that it felt neat to me. But I'm a fat guy in his basement so what do I know lol
To be fair to that whole sequence, I did like half of it.
8:55 My mom said the same thing. Her biggest complaint about TFA was him being old and miserable(Same for Blade Runner 2049)
oaa2288. Bladerunner 2049 was great.
Stop showing Susan! My heart can't take it!
Anyone excited for the next
*How to train your Dragon* movie?
There's an next one?
Weekend Warrior yeah #3 the dragon gets a boner an runs away to find a mate.
Ugh, don't remind me about how Disney warped and twisted the books beyond all recognition (except for names and that there are vikings, dragons, and dragon training in it).
I mean, yeah, that doesn't make it a bad movie, but it still annoys me. Toothless is a pathetic shit-tier com mon that has the personality of a bad-tempered cat, not a badass, incredibly rare, dog-like super dragon.
Andrew Grottle not Disney also theyer being more faithful this time.
@@athath2010 Ah... DreamWorks...
Wow. L3-37 becomes the voice of the Millennium Falcon. *There's* a little detail I didn't hear about until just now.
...Actually, you know something? This is *exactly* like Fi in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. She's an annoying sidekick character who butts in all the time to say pointless crap, and she even sounds like a robot with that whole "there is a 70% chance you are going in the right direction" thing. Then, at the end, you're expected to feel something when she "dies", even though the game never gave her a personality or anything else to connect with. And *then* it turns out she's the Master Sword. So this character you hated, who had no reason to exist at all, is now symbolically a part of every other game in the franchise, like an albatross of bad writing hanging around your neck.
It's hard to think of this as anything other than a huge middle finger to anyone who cares about previous works in the franchise. They're basically saying "This is the most amazing character anyone's ever created, and we'll retcon everything in this stupid franchise to prove it."
I know about Skyward Word but I didn't know Fi was the annoying sidekick character.
I feel you tho, the Millenium Falcon is now the Millenial Falcon
Haha last movie on a long flight is a mood of a description of this movie
You are so good. *_Don't stop!_*
Lol, the word "lukewarm" is really funny in context of Star Wars... "Luke-warm" hehehehe.
hehehehehe
Solo is a decent movie it gave me everything I wanted to see in young Hans life, meeting Chewy, the Kessle run, getting the falcon, I got everything. The problem is still the last Jedi. It let so many people down (me kind of included) that they were unwilling to give Solo a chance which isn't fair.
Huge points for the Neil Breen footage
The “Han” cannot do a Texas accent. I live in Texas. He does a Texan as good as he does Han Solo.
Oh my god, I know that tone and the movements Harrison Ford was doing to Alden. That’s exactly what my research mentor used to do when he wanted to convey “I’m proud of your effort, but you screwed up.”
THE RETURN
eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
don't give a shit about Star wars but it's a weekend warrior video so I have an obligation to watch this.
Appreciate it Over 9000 ;)
I dont know where you get the terrible recorder covers from but keep them coming theyre fuckin hilarious
I watched this few weeks ago and I forgot the ending.
If you had told me 5 years ago that "Disney's 'Solo: A Star Wars Movie' will feature a sassy CGI robot character named L337", I might have framed you for murder.
I didn't even know this was released.
The Star Wars Christmas Special is better than anything Disney has done to the franchise :v
"Im tired, boss." I died!
:)) glad you liked it
Also there was references to the cartoons, such as how they the Mandalorian armor in the corner but colored as how Maul’s mandalorian army colored their armor when he took over Mandalore.
"Who asked for this" means that this movie exists to answer questions no one asked. Questions like "How did Han and Chewy meet?" or "Where does the "Solo" come from?" and many more.
A movie that doesn't really add anything to the character, it only fills outs his background sheet which was better when it was sparce. A rogue's misterious past is part of its charm and you either keep it that way or make it really important (Aragorn).
Your description of Solo as painfully average is spot-on.
You are the more active version of GradeAUnderA, I like that. Keep doing you
RIP in peace Grade, I don't think we'll be getting him back.
Weekend Warrior its a shame that Grade is gone but you're just as funny so dont let it get you down
Thanks Anna, I appreciate it. Grade's (obviously) one of my biggest inspirations in making this channel.
Wow you preducted my future I was on a 24 hour flight from Singapore, and solo was the last film I wanted when I ran out of movies, got about half way and I have no interest to finish it.
Thank you,
For the green mile reference :3
So Low: A sad box office story
I was shocked by the Redlettermedia review. Not cause I thought the movie was bad, but because I was just waiting for them to express how little they liked it. And I was pleasantly surprised they did. Even Jay, though he certainly wasn't a fan of it, he didn't seem to really hate it. He just thought it was kind of dull and not incredibly compelling.
I **may** have exaggerated Jay hating it, but he didn't recommend watching it.
It was just a "meh, okay" experience for ME PERSONALLY haha.
Thank you for linking the clip at 4:30, that shit is sexy...
Oh So Mysterio-So?!! Is that a Happiest Millionaire Reference?!!!
that ending though
Pretty much the same thoughts. Nice to see someone going by common sense and research and not one of the extremes. Also, they DON'T need to show the Kessel Run. It was more "cool" left unseen. It leaves the scent of a universe for people to drool over and ask questions.
You're the best man
Thanks, my dude.
I do think timing was part of it. I grew up during the prequels, and the wait helped me have renewed interest in each episode. Here, you had division and this was only a few months away.
That tile clip you showed was more interesting than SoLow
16:47 "Look at the top of his head!"
2:10 I feel like the real question shouldn't be "Who Asked For This?" I feel it should rather be "What was the point?" Was it really necessary to make an entire film dedicated to Solo's origin story? Was it really that significant that it merited a full-length theatrical production?
To quote another critic I like (you've probably heard of him Zero Punctuation/Ben Yatzee...I LOVE THE GUY ^^) "Is this the most interesting part of your character's life, and if not why aren't you telling us THAT story instead?" But there-in lies the problem. The most interesting part of Han Solo's life has already been told in the original trilogy. He helped take down the galactic Empire...anything he did prior to that quite understandably pails in comparison.
i really liked it, i originally wasnt going to go see it but i would say it was worth watching
That's fair man.
that version of the star wars team it's......... beautyfull
Excuse me, but what's the name of the song that plays at 6:23?
That's the theme from "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
Or at least that's what popped up when I searched for it on youtube.
What is your take on Star Wars Legends? I wonder since we're on the topic of Star Wars.
My issue with L337 is the same with every character or media that tries to hide behind the "its supposed to be like that" shield. Just because they're supposed to be like that, doesn't somehow wipe away how annoying they are, and make it all better.
If someone is annoying, they're annoying. If they're supposed to be annoying, then their annoying. If they're supposed to be annoying to serve some purpose in the plot, or as a joke, then they're annoying.
It’s not that we didn’t ask for it, we really really didn’t want it.
I really think they fucked up to an extent with marketing.
3:05 This is why I love your work WW. LMFAO
16:09 And I think I cringed into a singularity after reading this...
I think the issue is that even though we didn’t NEED the film, Disney failed to make us WANT it either. We didn’t NEED an Ant-Man movie (especially one that had kind of similar director issues), but they convinced us to want it by showing his cool powers and conveying the film’s fun tone. Solo didn’t start marketing itself until way too late, and didn’t show the sort of stuff that might have generated interest in the film, like the smuggling aspect and the droid uprising and stuff, instead focusing on just showing us Han Solo and Cherie and Lando and other things that we have already seen.
They really failed in the marketing department.
It really felt like they were banking on the Star Wars name alone.
*"The Force Awakens got 57 million for a Thursday-night opening. The Last Jedi got 45... Rogue One got 29... SOLO... got 14 million! So... low!"* (- muh boi WW)
For some reason I am reminded of a lecture by Jordan Peterson where he talks about how when people rise to success that success tends to multiply, and so too does spiraling down into failure. "To those who have, more will be given. And to those who do not, more will be taken away". Some bible quote I'm sure. It's a really interesting analysis about how successes and failures can build on themselves and make themselves greater than before.
With Star Wars we now see, exemplified, the downward spiral.
*"Rogue One is a movie nobody asked for, and look how THAT turned out!"* (- some guy who's not as handsome as me)
Yeah it's RIIIGHT there behind solo on that whole "downward spiral" thing. :V
That said, I disagree with this guy completely. Star Wars is a franchise, and a franchise absolutely DOES have an obligation to cater to it's audience, it's called Supply and Demand. If you supply something nobody is demanding you better pray to god your INCREDIBLY RISKY GAMBLE pays off. It's simply not safe or smart to hinge your bets on wild, out-of-left-field ideas (unless you're Nintendo but you're not Nintendo now, are you?).
5:13 - (REFLEXIVE PAUSE!) This should've been the thumbnail. B)
6:28 - *THE PROBLEM OF ALDEN ERENREICH* ... Eren? No Attack on Titan joke?
Didn't see the movie so I can't say for sure, but maybe the problem wasn't so much that AoT's MC didn't act like the Han Solo the fans know, but that he didn't act like a younger Han Solo that was BELIEVABLE? Like, Young Han Solo is Point-A and Harrison Ford's Han Solo is Point-B, and I think the fans tried connecting Point-A and Point-B and went "... what the hell? How does this line up!?".
That's the impression I get, anyway.
15:49 - *"Oh, her memory has now become the Millenium Falcon's navigation thing?"*
... does that make it the MILLENNIAL Falcon??? *BADUM-PUM-PISSSHHH!!!
16:25 - *"The icing on the cake is that ANITA SARKEESIAN knows it's a joke!"*
She'll be fine. She'll console herself with the GIANT PILES OF MONEY she made conning her brainwashed feminist SJW followers into giving her so she could "afford" to put up a DISCORD SERVER.
They should have made it a tv series and show Hans life as a badass smuggler
A Filipino movie critique ! You got yourself a new subscriber sir. You should do home grown tagalog movies , the shitty ones lol
1:45 Okay, this had me laughing.
WTF WAS THE DANCING THING AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO OMAOOOO
2:27 Wow! You're American? Never having seen you before I had thought just from the audio you were from eastern Europe with english as a second language. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ragging on you, it was just that I pictured you as such for some reason. BTW, what regional accent would you yourself describe as having? Great vids btw.
Oh no my dude, I'm from the Philippines.
@@WeekendWarrior1 I realised that after I watched another of your vids and you mentioned it. I think I am bad at guessing accents :)
Hey bro what's up long time not seen hop you doing good 🍻
Hey Darshan, thanks for the kind words bud. Hope you have good one!
I had forgot the monster

what's really funny is that solo is a brand of butter here in belgium

Nicely edited stuff, you gained a sub :)
The thing about L3 is that she's now forever enslaved in the Falcon...
Glad to have earned your sub N7Mith!
Disagree! SOLO is great return to early form, with Ron Howard directing. I watched it twice, and love it. Too bad for you.🎬🎥
