It's so much easier to look at a finished, post-produced product and sit there with commentary, than it is to do it in an office space before anybody's started on preproduction. The luxury of looking at what you think is the script (most people have no idea what the script was like) after the fact that it has gone through pre and post production is one that you are dismissing when praising this man - not to say he isn't capable or anything, just curbing your enthusiasm.
Keep in mind that thousands of people work on a production like this and that, as a writer, you will have to deal with getting pushed around by dozens of producers, the director and execs when coming up with stuff, that is if you don't have to rub elbows with other writers, too, and a lot of that involves compromising. There are many factors that make the end product so starkly different and distorted from the point of view of a first or second draft script.
Atticus I was thinking the exact same thing as I read the compliments. Not to say his revisions aren’t good. Just made easier from being judged in a visual manner.
This is brilliant actually, nice work! a) Love the idea of making Poison a foil. b) Love the idea of getting rid of Ares and making the finale Wonder Woman surfing on a biplane in a dogfight.
I would say this is also similar to the real life Wernher Von Braun. The only way he could continue his progress in rocket science was to build missiles for Hitler.
Interesting. Also, I didn't realize this when I watched the movie but did you know that Ludendorff was a real guy? And evsn though he seems like a real monster, it feels weird having him fight Wonder Woman, because he's real.
I did not know that! I will check it out. Von Braun designed the V2 rocket which pummeled London. He was able to surrender to the Americans and was one of the pioneers of the american space program.
"Hindenburg became the second and last president before Hitler took over and was the only thing standing between Hitler and total control up until 1933" . So you could say that Hindenburg's attempts to prevent WW2... *puts on sunglasses* ...crashed and burned
I also thought of Fritz Haber. He invented the process for synthesizing ammonia for fertilizer as well as Zyklon A (an insecticide), vastly improving food production around the world. He also worked on chemical weapons in WWI and invented Zyklon B, which was used for gas chambers in WWII.
germany lost not because of anybattle field loss, they were slowly looseing but their army was still fully operational and may have turned it around in fact they would have based on studies. what made germany loose was the communist revolution back home, it would have made more sense for Ludendorf to gas the german communists (thus removeing the reason for the germans seeking peace, thus convinceing the other german leaders to continue the war as they can now win (no trouble back home and a super weapon). i think they should have also made the german's want to win as they think any peace would be terrable [like they did] combined with extreme patriotism (i love germany too much to see it crippled by their [the allie's] peace). At the end i would also do a montage of the germans giveing up due to renewed cominunist activity and the loss of the super weapon aswell as the army being tired of war (make the germans reluctant to end the war due to pride and fear etc but wonder woman can 'rope' them into admitting they want the war to end)
Since Nando talks about the scene involving the planes, this was a perfect time for Wonder Woman to introduce the Blackhawks into the "DCEU". Another missed opportunity. I know WB wants Steven Spielberg to direct a Blackhawks movie, but at this point it's too little, too late.
Wow, that rewrite was incredible! I was completely engrossed and could actually visualize every word you said. I always thought it was odd and a waste that Dr. Poison and Wonder Woman never spoke a single word to each other. I was waiting and waiting and waiting for them to meet, speak, cross paths, or something.... It's really sad (or incredible) that fanfiction has written Dr. Poison better than this major blockbuster film. They were incredible polar opposites whose chemistry I'm sure would have sizzled and been an incredible segue for a sequel, after-credits things, etc.
This and the one from last week belong to the best you have done until now. You have grown way beyond fixing plotholes or adding details. Theses changes change the story as a whole and the way it would have been received by the audience. What makes your version so good is that it points out the important points of war, human behaviour and Diana's character. I'll applaud you, sir
Agent Carter Season 2 did exactly this.They made Whitney Frost a character who seeks power only because she was denied it multiple times in her life.Its that need to make your own choices that drove her.
I hate to admit this but Agent Carter Season 2 is the only part of the entire MCU that I haven't seen. Which means I finished Inhumans. I know. It's shameful.
I've got that one totally written. I almost did it two weeks ago. It came down to one vote on my Patreon poll between Apocalypse and Wonder Woman, but Wonder Woman won. It will be soon. Can't guarantee next week, since who knows what Infinity War will inspire, but it will be very soon.
Nando v Movies I hope you do something about A) Why Havok's death didn't matter because he and Cyclops barely had any on screen time together and B) how poorly handled characters like Storm, Angel and Psylocke were and how to fix them. Also C) how to set up Mystique's path to becoming a villain
I was waiting for this exact type thing in the movie and I don't understand how everyone working on the movie missed this opportunity. It was obvious that Wonder Woman and Doctor Poison should have had a real thematically resonate end scene. So thanks for doing this, your videos are the first thing I think about when a movie trips over itself. C:
Love how this channel just exploded over the past few months! Nando keeps raising the bar with every upload PS love seeing that Patreon list continue to grow
Nando, ever since it came out I've always felt that something was off with the ending of The Dark Knight. I always thought that both of the cruise ships should have blown up at 11:59 Batman could look confused/angry and Joker could laugh and say "Oops I think I crossed some wires there. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to do a few more trails." Insane laughter. Then Batman pushes him off the ledge, catches him and the movie continues as normal. Mostly because I've always thought that the knowledge that all the passengers chose to do the right thing kind of undermines Batman's decision to be blamed for Two Face's actions. I think it kind of intensifies Batman's need to make an extreme decision in order to save the city from itself.
Tom Smith I agree with you fully, but even TDK has it's problems and I also think that the ending doesn't quite fufile all the buildup the rest of the movie has set up
Nando v Movies Wow, I'm so happy you agree 😁 What I was thinking is that you could take this in different directions depending upon what you wanted as your ultimate message. TDK seems to be leading to Joker's ultimate hypothesis "Everyone could be a villian" This is proven through the corrupt cops, selfish mob bosses, the bloodthirsty mobs and Dent/Two Face. If Batman and his philosophy "Everyone is worth saving" get this crucial win BEFORE he confronts Two Face then it kind of takes the wind out of this scene. Batman steals the win by knocking Two Face off the building because that was the only way he could save Gordan. In my mind, Batman should be more desperate in order to make that decision. Then, after Two Face is dead he realizes that he is tainted, Joker forced him into breaking his highest rule. Batamn just killed. This new mentality allows him to change his purpose of being Batman. Instead of being the symbol of good fighting evil and cleaning the streets, he needs to be a symbol of evil that the good can use to clean up the streets. Then all those discussions with Alfred are put into context. Bruce realizes he needs to "burn the forest down". And if you want you could justify that Batman was really correct all along by having Lucias record everything on the cruise ships before they blowup, revealing that none of the prisoners or passengers pushed their buttons. Joker rigged them to go off because he is always prepared.
Spencer Malley He can still say that, but now the Joker has a stronger footing (while paradoxically hanging in the air) to refute it. Afterall, it's not like we haven't seen any good people in Gotham, plus being in a bad situation and making a wrong decision doesn't make you bad (which would be a great theme to pick up in Rise with Batman's relationship with Catwoman, a professional criminal who he falls in love with (something I really liked from Rise))
Great video. Again. I have to say that I've watched maybe 5 or 6 of your videos and each of them has ( greatly ) improved each film you talk about. Really good stuff. I don't know if there is a profession out there were you improve other peoples work but if there is, then you have a big future ahead of you. Keep it up.
With the power set for Ares that he mentioned, A fight with him in the modern day would be so fun! Ares would not just be able to summon swords and shields and other ancient weapons, but also be able to summon guns, explosives, lasers, and other modern weapons. Just imagine Ares in a full suit of armor holding up his cape like a matador, taunting Diana into lunging towards him, and he drops his cape and reveals a full on naval cannon that fires into her. He could have a chill moment where he is talking with someone, summons a molotov cocktail, and then just puts it out and offers a drink. If you want to expand on it to have more fun, make him able to summon anything that was used as a weapon, so he could just go all WWE on someone and summon a folding chair, or drive a jeep into someone. And if he is a Justice League movie villain, you could have a scene where he and Superman lock eyes and Ares says "Ah, Superman, you know I was actually scared you would try to stop me. But luckily I have something made just for you..." and he summons the kryptonite spear from Batman V Superman. And Superman just gives a look to Batman, and Batman goes "....I said I was sorry!"
God damn, i can see Diana using her lasso and swinging over to other planes, catching them in the air and throwing swing them away etc. It would have been awesome. But i still think they handled Wonder Woman vs Ares better than most films atleast.
A very interesting take, except the "Steve is crashing the German plane into the ocean" part because that's exactly how Cap America: 1st Avenger ended so that would be waaaaaaaay too similar.
Could you please do a video on fixing X-men Apocalypse? I feel it had its great moments but could’ve easily been the best X-men movie had it just used some elements more efficiently (Magneto’s relationship with Quicksilver, the wasted horsemen, Cyclops and Jean)
Waited for this for a week. This really makes me wonder what villan they will use in the next movie since we know they will make another wonder woman movie. They already used universal Villan in the Darkside camp in justice league so not in that camp and they made sure no other Gods are out there in the present time at least the Greek gods. So what come after this? cheetah is not really a villan I think people will find... well interesting. Maybe they will introduce female villans in Birds of prey movie and use those characters i don't know. i just hope Ares was a bigger villan as your version.
That's because you know nothing about Cheetah. Barbara Ann is an archeologist, she's Diana's workmate at the museum, they're friends, however, Barbara grows jealous of Diana and seeks the Cheetah curse in Africa. That's the story in a nutshell, mark my words
Nicely done! I love these videos. As a writer, it's fantastic to watch you pull stories apart--whether I already enjoy them or not--and fit them together in new and compelling ways. Keep on!
What do you think of dark night rises and would you make any changes to ir? ( I know it's random but I'm curious because I've been thinking about it recently)
It has it's moments but I don't like it anyway near as much as TDK or Batman Begins. I haven't thought about that one yet, but I'll give it another look.
Yeah I honestly like Begins most out the three. It's so we'll put together. TDK is great but the Joker plot contrivances mixed with the Two Face ending are where it loses me.
Nando v Movies It does feel like 2 movies, the 1st finishes with the Jokers victory that he has power of Batman (shown in the interragtion scene) followed by 2 more ending so I get your point. Would you say the dark Night trilogy beats most of the MCU?
I always look forward to your videos! They’re pure genius and make me regret what could’ve been. I love how calmly you explain throughout the video and I can envision EXACTLY what you describe. Thank you so much 😊 I can’t wait to see future vids!!
I’ve never screamed in excitement so loudly in my life before hearing you discuss that blind spot part of the movie. No spoilers for those yet to watch this video. Best. Idea. Ever!
Duuude. This is so well thought out. Doctor Poison totally IS a great foil to Diana. The gray morals stuff is fantastic and I totally agree that it fulfills all the deeper meanings they were hinting at throughout but didn't quite establish to their completion. Plus Charlie gets a redemption moment and Diana standing to the plane's wing would be hella cool. And THANK YOU for pointing out that Ares shouldn't have lightning powers! As a classical greek nerd, it was totally bugging me while I watched the movie
Watching these videos makes me wish of a 'Nandoverse' where all your movie edits are how the movie actually went but then I'm sad that I don't live in that universe. Keep it up!
I always thought, instead of the Amazons already having an invisible jet, Trevor should have stolen it from the Germans/bad guys/whatever and it being an expirimental stealth thing. Not my most articulate sentence, but you get the idea.
This is so satisfying! Ever since I first saw Wonder Woman, I've been saying she needed to face a conflict she couldn't fight her way out of - what does a warrior princess do when fighting isn't an option? It's so much more interesting!
I would have loved Wonder-woman movie more if they did this, you did such a great job incorporating all of the side characters to have their own moments!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It was originally just a way for gamers to have a reliable way to communicate while playing games, but it has evolved into a bigger social network that is incredibly useful, I'd be glad to help you set it up!
yeah! no rush. you can learn as much as you want about discord before you get started. It's basically a chat room with moderators and anyone can join it. It is now a very big network that will only get bigger in the future.
Great edit but Steve or Doctor Poison could just jump out of the plane as it nears the water or else swim out of it. It's a good way to off them and make Steve sacrifice but still escapable
Hey Nando, I started listening to Mad Bracket Status after your last video went up, and I can’t get enough of it! It’s great, and I can’t wait to see what the new iteration of the podcast ends up being!
Nando, you are a god amongst movie-rewriting UA-camrs. I come away from every one of your videos wishing you were part of the writing team. Your hotfixes are so artful and elegant. If you like this guy's videos, Patreon the guy!
While I was a little dismissive of the first one of these two for having a complaint I don't feel is legitimate and I see all the time, this solidified it for me. Doctor Poison is really a perfect antagonist and foil for Wonder Woman, and was my favorite of the three antagonists in the movie. I will say that instead of not laughing with Ludendorff, she could just have a different tone, an uncomfortable playing along tone, on realizing he's laughing about killing a room full of people. It gives some decent character to both of them without any explicit dialogue.
I like these 2 parter re-writes you are doing, they are great, also, can You do a review for Infinity War? I would love to know your opinions on the film, or maybe on Ready Player One.
Disarming Ares was genius, aerial combat for the ending? Hell yes please, it's perfect. I see you've covered a lot of my fav film, I'm starting to afraid to watch your rewrites that it will ruin how I see these movies xD
This is a nice change to the movie but i don't like it because i liked that scene where she laughs at the people dying. The female villians are always the one who are emotionally conflicted and turned over to the side of the hero see every bond movie ever. I really loved that scene because it shows that she loves what she does. You are right, being a female chemist at that time would have been difficult and the only place she would have be effective would have been in the war. I personally think that rather than fighting the war she would have been happy to be in her chosen profession. Yes she can't practice chemistry as a civilian but why would she want to, in the war she is respected, her work is respected and frankly there's no point in being sad about joining the war effort when she's doing what she wants. Also, dr poison is never seen in the movie at the frontlines, she's always in the comfort of her lab so she didn't see the horrors Diana did. The way she kills people is clean and efficient, no spilt blood or flowing guts or dangling body parts. I think that Dr Poison should have been the villian of the story, but i wanted her to be someone who cared about herself and adapted to the situation she was in. I don't want her to be someone that is uncertain in her morality, we already have every other female villian for that. So yes i think she was one dimensional but not because she was evil and didn't care about the lives of other people but because the movie didn't explore her.
compass696 yes I agree with what your saying, I think a combo of your idea and the videos would make a compelling Villain, where she at first doesn’t want to be “evil” but enjoys finally seeing the people who doubted her perish, I think her deciding to help Wonder Women could be a little anti-climatic and out of character; so instead she tells WW that she is only like this because this was the only way for a woman to achieve something great (in the 1910s) she goes hysterical and drops her gun freeing Steve, I can’t see how it ultimately ends, perhaps dr poison blows up with her only creation who knows.
Heads up, so sorry for the ridiculously long comment. Perhaps when WW gives Doctor Poison the choice to help them, when it is really her choice, just as the video says, she chooses to not help them. WW probably disarms her, but then she escapes or something. WW, Steve, and the gang are left with a plane full of active bombs and no way to defuse them. This is where we would join the conflict as it is in the video, with Steve saying goodbye and forcing Diana to leave him in the plane, but this time they didn't do all the work of defusing the bombs for nothing and they are still forced to do something with the plane. The argument of "so that they don't get into the wrong hands" seems kinda weak. (although you still run into the problem of why Steve can't just set the plane to crash into the ocean and jump out with the rest without coming up with some plot-convenient problem of why that won't work). I think Dr. Poison actively choosing to "be evil" would farther make her a foil to Diana and enforce the idea of choice. Sure, most people might not have a choice. But even when they are given a clear choice, people will still choose to do bad things, and it's that choice that defines people. This would enforce the theme that Steve has been trying to tell Diana the whole time, that it's not just all good people forced to do bad things, or all bad people who choose to do bad things all the time. It's a mix of all of those. People do good and bad things because they are forced, and people do good and bad things by choice. Diana's lesson is that humanity is complicated. One more thing: If all the main character's are simply doing bad things, or things they don't want to do, because they are forced to, that is exactly what Diana thought in the beginning of the movie, except now it's not Ares controlling them but society. I think it's more dynamic if she realizes that it's a mix of being forced and having a choice despite your situation.
I hated the scene. It felt like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon and didn't fit the tone of what was happening on screen, gender doesn't even need to enter the discussion. Compare it to another black comedy moment in a DC property; the "magic trick" in TDK. It's quick, brutal, and doesn't linger. The humor is derived from the relaxed line delivery accompanied by a nonchalant homicide. The gas mask pun is lame because it forces the characters to explain the joke to the audience.
I don't think she should roll her eyes and jump off the plane, especially since gal Gadot and wonder woman don't fit with eye rolls. Instead she should have a smirk-smile as if she finds his hopeless imfatuation a little amusing as a kid would (she is new to society after all)
Yeah a couple of people have mentioned this and I should have clarified. It's not as much of a "ugh, men" kind of eye roll and more of a "oh you scamp" kind of eye roll. She can be smiling during. Kind of like the same intonation as in Justice League, when she says "I work with children".
Eh... not quite liking this ending for Wonder Woman. To put things into a modern parlance, Diana needs a "Red Pill" moment to jolt her out of her naiveté. This... doesn't give her that. I'm not sure it's significantly better than what we already got with Professor Lupin throwing lighting at Diana. Different, yes, but better? It's nice for the other characters to get their moments, but for Diana, I don't think it's significantly better. I'd prefer if Dr. Poison had to fight her way to get into the German army scientific research division. That she WAS psychotic and sociopathic and just plain evil - something that Diana has never encountered in a woman. She's heard stories of men who were like that (always being told it was Ares who made them that way), but just assumed it was something that only could be done for men. Then in the movie she thinks Dr. Poison is corrupted by Ares like men can be; after she "kills" Ares, she finds that the war doesn't stop AND Dr. Poison is still evil. She thinks that Dr. Poison will be able to tell Steve how to disarm the bombs, but as she is telling Steve how to disarm them, Steve recognizes that she's simply delaying him and toying with Diana. By the time he realizes it, there isn't time to find a way to safely land the plane somewhere else - he's over the ocean, just minutes away from London, and he has to crash it into the ocean before it can deliver its payload. When the radio crackles and falls dead after Steve crashes into the ocean, Dr. Poison goes berserk because she's been thwarted, and her life's work is ruined. No redemption for Dr. Poison. No "This was my only choice!". Straight up, Dr. Poison is Evil, and she CHOSE to do the things she did. Diana realizes that when she was thinking of "Man", she was literally thinking only of Men, and that Women were merely victims of Men. With Dr. Poison being straight up evil, it "Red Pills" her into realizing that the world is far different than she was taught.
Wonder Woman was already a near perfect movie. But the two big changes you've made to the movie have solidified it as a truly perfect movie. I don't think there are any other changes out there that could "fix" the movie into the masterpiece you've created. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Haha, "a near perfect movie"? Absolutely not. I think you're contrasting Wonder woman with the rest of the dceu a bit too much, it doesn't take much to be a better movie than Suicide squad or Batman v Superman, but Wonder woman is still *nowhere* near a perfect movie, and still not close to being one of the best superhero movies, that title lies with either Logan or The Dark Knight. Wonder Woman is the only "good" dceu movies so far, but it is not great nor is it extraordinary.
love this, the wing walking dogfight would have been an amazing set piece and would have had so much room for them to play with, and i can just imagine WW swinging from her lasso as the plane aileron rolls and loop de loops
I love this change! If only the filmmakers went this route because it's a vast improvement on the character of Dr. Poison, and very in line with Wonder Woman's character!
You. Are. AMAZONG!!! That’s 6 whole levels above amazing!!! Has Hollywood contacted you yet, to help tweak their scripts? You simultaneously fixed and ruined WW for me. Subscribed for life!!!
Good suggestions all around. I really like the direction you propose for Ares. One adjustment I would make is that I don't think Diana would willingly leave Steve to die. She wouldn't parachute out and let him sacrifice himself, and there's no way he could make her go. She would need to have some compelling problem to solve elsewhere. Maybe Samir and the others are about to get shot down, so she has to go rescue them, trusting that Steve and Dr. Poison can handle the bombs. Then you can still have Steve die (or appear to die, when in fact he is pulled into space to become a Green Lantern so you don't lose Chris Pine in the DCEU, huh? Huh?), and Diana still can be affected by his sacrifice in the end. Also, I don't love having Steve choose to down the plane in the water. It's too Captain America: First Avenger in a movie that already feels overly derivative of that film. I would have Steve, Diana, and Dr. Poison try to think of a plan. They can't blow the plane up, they can't risk letting the gas fall into anyone's hands on either side. Where can they hide the bombs where no one can find them? Themyscira. They can fly the bomber to Themyscira and hide the gas there in the keeping of the Amazons. They can face any number of challenges getting there, Diana would show them the way, etc. But she's not allowed to return. Maybe the magic barrier rips her from the plane when they cross it and that causes it to crash, or maybe she just has to willingly leave for other reasons as I mentioned before, and Steve and Dr. Poison have to cross to the island of the Amazons alone. Maybe Steve is wounded by a fighter bullet, but hangs on long enough to bring the plane to the ground before he dies. Then the Amazons can give him the rare honor of a Themysciran funeral, honoring a man for his sacrifice and bridging their divide a little with his world (unless he gets taken by the Lantern Corps first) In the end, Dr. Poison could choose to stay with the Amazons and re-make herself in their company, away from the war and the troubles and the judgement about her face and the sins of her past. Maybe Hippolyta wants to lift the banishment of Diana and welcome her back, but she chooses instead to go back into the world and do some good. There are lots of interesting paths for how the movie could end, but all of this would be better than the lame CGI fight with Ares. Nice work. Love the channel.
I get the feeling that most of these issues we see in superhero movies are down to the studios getting involved saying 'We need a big CGI fight to finish the movie! that's what the kids want!' but godamn they need to learn that with writers like you they would be getting lasting success, not just a quick buck. Love these videos and I'm overly impressed with your writing and editing skills. I think it's actually going to change how I watch these superhero movies because as you point out these improvements I think it really shines a light on where the writing is super lazy/enforced. Well done, hope to see more!
Great changes in this and the previous video. I would say that in my head cannon the Dr Foil laugh does not show that she is evil, she is desperately seeking approval, just as she was in the party talking to Steve.
THANK YOU, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD AN ISSUE WITH ARES USING LIGHTNING!! also overall this is a great video and would much rather go see this version of wonder woman than the actual wonder woman
And theb Steve wakes up in modern day New York and... Oh wait, wrong Steve.
....Or is he.... Dun dun DUN!
And the wrong Chris...
"I gotta put it in the water"
instead of modern day new york 1980s new york ha
Hunter Brown Ayy
Holy crap, dude. I'm only 5 minutes in and I would have absolutely loved this fixed movie. "Not everyone gets to have a choice" sits so perfectly.
It really doesn't
@@dignerds fan of big cgi fights huh
Once again, so, so, soooo much better than what we got in WW. Seriously, some screenwriters should be hiring you as a story editor. Well done.
I know, right? I mean they kill Ares, but they let this C-list villain survive. Complete madness.
True
It's so much easier to look at a finished, post-produced product and sit there with commentary, than it is to do it in an office space before anybody's started on preproduction. The luxury of looking at what you think is the script (most people have no idea what the script was like) after the fact that it has gone through pre and post production is one that you are dismissing when praising this man - not to say he isn't capable or anything, just curbing your enthusiasm.
Keep in mind that thousands of people work on a production like this and that, as a writer, you will have to deal with getting pushed around by dozens of producers, the director and execs when coming up with stuff, that is if you don't have to rub elbows with other writers, too, and a lot of that involves compromising. There are many factors that make the end product so starkly different and distorted from the point of view of a first or second draft script.
Atticus I was thinking the exact same thing as I read the compliments. Not to say his revisions aren’t good. Just made easier from being judged in a visual manner.
"Thank you to everyone who patronizes me"
lol, i heard that too
Actually "patreon-izes".
I was waiting for this... you did a great job!!!
You really should think about become a “script doctor”.
Someone really needs to hire him to be one.The film industry needs him.
No he shouldnt
He should write Scripts for DC, Marvel, Nintendo, SEGA, and Star Wars.
This version would have been the greatest superhero movie... ever. Such a missed opportunity
BTW: Re-writing the last 20 mins of the movie means no big stupidly boring gray monster fight, lol. I'm down for that
Not even close to the greatest ever but it would've been a phenomenal movie
I LOVE THE INVISIBLE PLANE MOMENT! LOVE THE CRASHING INTO THE OCEAN! LOVE ALL OF THIS! YOU'RE SO GOOOD!!!
Oooh totally missed that lol.
so this version of wonder woman cant fly, and doesnt have an invisible plane, i never realised it during the movie
"Generic comment stating how awesome Nando is."
More like genetic comment.
Generic reply to comment praising Nando
Generic comment about how someone should hire Nando to write a movie
Generic Comment that chastise your sense of humor.
This is brilliant actually, nice work!
a) Love the idea of making Poison a foil.
b) Love the idea of getting rid of Ares and making the finale Wonder Woman surfing on a biplane in a dogfight.
Yvaelle I’d add that I love the idea of giving the band of ruffians a role in the finale.
I would say this is also similar to the real life Wernher Von Braun. The only way he could continue his progress in rocket science was to build missiles for Hitler.
Interesting. Also, I didn't realize this when I watched the movie but did you know that Ludendorff was a real guy? And evsn though he seems like a real monster, it feels weird having him fight Wonder Woman, because he's real.
I did not know that! I will check it out. Von Braun designed the V2 rocket which pummeled London. He was able to surrender to the Americans and was one of the pioneers of the american space program.
"Hindenburg became the second and last president before Hitler took over and was the only thing standing between Hitler and total control up until 1933" .
So you could say that Hindenburg's attempts to prevent WW2...
*puts on sunglasses*
...crashed and burned
I also thought of Fritz Haber. He invented the process for synthesizing ammonia for fertilizer as well as Zyklon A (an insecticide), vastly improving food production around the world. He also worked on chemical weapons in WWI and invented Zyklon B, which was used for gas chambers in WWII.
germany lost not because of anybattle field loss, they were slowly looseing but their army was still fully operational and may have turned it around in fact they would have based on studies. what made germany loose was the communist revolution back home, it would have made more sense for Ludendorf to gas the german communists (thus removeing the reason for the germans seeking peace, thus convinceing the other german leaders to continue the war as they can now win (no trouble back home and a super weapon). i think they should have also made the german's want to win as they think any peace would be terrable [like they did] combined with extreme patriotism (i love germany too much to see it crippled by their [the allie's] peace). At the end i would also do a montage of the germans giveing up due to renewed cominunist activity and the loss of the super weapon aswell as the army being tired of war (make the germans reluctant to end the war due to pride and fear etc but wonder woman can 'rope' them into admitting they want the war to end)
DC hire this dude NOW!
Nah, marvel needs him
Since Nando talks about the scene involving the planes, this was a perfect time for Wonder Woman to introduce the Blackhawks into the "DCEU". Another missed opportunity. I know WB wants Steven Spielberg to direct a Blackhawks movie, but at this point it's too little, too late.
MrDman21 yeah having andre as a nephew to sameer would have been a great introduction to the blackhawks to the DC universe.DC really messed that up
True.
dc needs him most
As Count Dooku once said: "I've been looking forward to this."

Wow, that rewrite was incredible! I was completely engrossed and could actually visualize every word you said. I always thought it was odd and a waste that Dr. Poison and Wonder Woman never spoke a single word to each other. I was waiting and waiting and waiting for them to meet, speak, cross paths, or something....
It's really sad (or incredible) that fanfiction has written Dr. Poison better than this major blockbuster film.
They were incredible polar opposites whose chemistry I'm sure would have sizzled and been an incredible segue for a sequel, after-credits things, etc.
Yeah, and the actress for Dr. Poison deserved more credit for her performance.
This and the one from last week belong to the best you have done until now. You have grown way beyond fixing plotholes or adding details. Theses changes change the story as a whole and the way it would have been received by the audience. What makes your version so good is that it points out the important points of war, human behaviour and Diana's character. I'll applaud you, sir
Thanks a lot Zorro!
Agent Carter Season 2 did exactly this.They made Whitney Frost a character who seeks power only because she was denied it multiple times in her life.Its that need to make your own choices that drove her.
I hate to admit this but Agent Carter Season 2 is the only part of the entire MCU that I haven't seen. Which means I finished Inhumans. I know. It's shameful.
Watch it.Its better than season 1 and makes you swear a lot at Marvel for not making a season 3.
I hope I havent spoiled it for you.
That's what I hear. And I have already kinda been spoiled for it, so I don't mind.
Ok.Cool.
Nando v Movies I wouldn't say it is better than season 1, but it more fun in a campy kind of way.
Please do X-Men Apocalypse
I've got that one totally written. I almost did it two weeks ago. It came down to one vote on my Patreon poll between Apocalypse and Wonder Woman, but Wonder Woman won. It will be soon. Can't guarantee next week, since who knows what Infinity War will inspire, but it will be very soon.
Nando v Movies I hope you do something about A) Why Havok's death didn't matter because he and Cyclops barely had any on screen time together and B) how poorly handled characters like Storm, Angel and Psylocke were and how to fix them. Also C) how to set up Mystique's path to becoming a villain
Nando v Movies Just delete Mystique from the script and It's fixed
Honestly, it's most of those things.
Replace with original cast gets my vote
Same problem as the Ares video: no CGI effects fight with big grey villain, No WB approval.
Simple fix: big cgi fight between two grey blobs in some desaturated clouds while Ares explains what happened with the Greek gods in a flashback.
You missed that the native american fighter was also a god....and introduced himself to wonderwoman as a god....
That is so interesting. I just read about it a bit. I had never heard that before.
Wait seriously?
I was waiting for this exact type thing in the movie and I don't understand how everyone working on the movie missed this opportunity. It was obvious that Wonder Woman and Doctor Poison should have had a real thematically resonate end scene. So thanks for doing this, your videos are the first thing I think about when a movie trips over itself. C:
Love how this channel just exploded over the past few months! Nando keeps raising the bar with every upload
PS love seeing that Patreon list continue to grow
Literally such a golden channel you have, hope you get a role in writing one of these big movies on day!
Nando, ever since it came out I've always felt that something was off with the ending of The Dark Knight.
I always thought that both of the cruise ships should have blown up at 11:59
Batman could look confused/angry and Joker could laugh and say "Oops I think I crossed some wires there. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to do a few more trails." Insane laughter. Then Batman pushes him off the ledge, catches him and the movie continues as normal.
Mostly because I've always thought that the knowledge that all the passengers chose to do the right thing kind of undermines Batman's decision to be blamed for Two Face's actions. I think it kind of intensifies Batman's need to make an extreme decision in order to save the city from itself.
That's a really interesting point. I like that rewrite a lot. The ending the TDK being so all over the place is one reason I really prefer Begins.
Tom Smith I agree with you fully, but even TDK has it's problems and I also think that the ending doesn't quite fufile all the buildup the rest of the movie has set up
Nando v Movies Wow, I'm so happy you agree 😁
What I was thinking is that you could take this in different directions depending upon what you wanted as your ultimate message.
TDK seems to be leading to Joker's ultimate hypothesis "Everyone could be a villian" This is proven through the corrupt cops, selfish mob bosses, the bloodthirsty mobs and Dent/Two Face.
If Batman and his philosophy "Everyone is worth saving" get this crucial win BEFORE he confronts Two Face then it kind of takes the wind out of this scene. Batman steals the win by knocking Two Face off the building because that was the only way he could save Gordan. In my mind, Batman should be more desperate in order to make that decision. Then, after Two Face is dead he realizes that he is tainted, Joker forced him into breaking his highest rule. Batamn just killed.
This new mentality allows him to change his purpose of being Batman.
Instead of being the symbol of good fighting evil and cleaning the streets, he needs to be a symbol of evil that the good can use to clean up the streets.
Then all those discussions with Alfred are put into context. Bruce realizes he needs to "burn the forest down".
And if you want you could justify that Batman was really correct all along by having Lucias record everything on the cruise ships before they blowup, revealing that none of the prisoners or passengers pushed their buttons. Joker rigged them to go off because he is always prepared.
Crick1952 Kind of undermines Batman's "full of people ready to believe in good" declaration.
Spencer Malley He can still say that, but now the Joker has a stronger footing (while paradoxically hanging in the air) to refute it.
Afterall, it's not like we haven't seen any good people in Gotham, plus being in a bad situation and making a wrong decision doesn't make you bad (which would be a great theme to pick up in Rise with Batman's relationship with Catwoman, a professional criminal who he falls in love with (something I really liked from Rise))
Great video. Again. I have to say that I've watched maybe 5 or 6 of your videos and each of them has ( greatly ) improved each film you talk about. Really good stuff. I don't know if there is a profession out there were you improve other peoples work but if there is, then you have a big future ahead of you. Keep it up.
So passionate. I would love to see you pitch a superhero movie that is not out yet. Or your dream superhero movie or something.
@NandovMovies I was iffy on WW, but with both of your changes I think I would been on board all the way. Fantastic changes!!
Thanks!
Dude I've been waiting for this since you "changed" the ending.
I completely agree with this, but you left a very important part
Doctor Posion’s obviously a skrull.
With the power set for Ares that he mentioned, A fight with him in the modern day would be so fun! Ares would not just be able to summon swords and shields and other ancient weapons, but also be able to summon guns, explosives, lasers, and other modern weapons. Just imagine Ares in a full suit of armor holding up his cape like a matador, taunting Diana into lunging towards him, and he drops his cape and reveals a full on naval cannon that fires into her. He could have a chill moment where he is talking with someone, summons a molotov cocktail, and then just puts it out and offers a drink. If you want to expand on it to have more fun, make him able to summon anything that was used as a weapon, so he could just go all WWE on someone and summon a folding chair, or drive a jeep into someone. And if he is a Justice League movie villain, you could have a scene where he and Superman lock eyes and Ares says "Ah, Superman, you know I was actually scared you would try to stop me. But luckily I have something made just for you..." and he summons the kryptonite spear from Batman V Superman. And Superman just gives a look to Batman, and Batman goes "....I said I was sorry!"
God damn, i can see Diana using her lasso and swinging over to other planes, catching them in the air and throwing swing them away etc. It would have been awesome.
But i still think they handled Wonder Woman vs Ares better than most films atleast.
Yeaaaaaahhhhhhh, been waiting for this. Anyways, gonna watch it now.
YOURE HIRED!
Great! I'll be in bright and early at 8:30. Whats the dress code? Business casual?
A very interesting take, except the "Steve is crashing the German plane into the ocean" part because that's exactly how Cap America: 1st Avenger ended so that would be waaaaaaaay too similar.
It is too similar already. There's no problem.
Could you please do a video on fixing X-men Apocalypse? I feel it had its great moments but could’ve easily been the best X-men movie had it just used some elements more efficiently (Magneto’s relationship with Quicksilver, the wasted horsemen, Cyclops and Jean)
Totally. Its the only other one I have completely written. I think it will be called Four New Horsemen.
So....im gonna assume this is what really happened to the movie...(again,ur rewrites are awesome)
Waited for this for a week. This really makes me wonder what villan they will use in the next movie since we know they will make another wonder woman movie. They already used universal Villan in the Darkside camp in justice league so not in that camp and they made sure no other Gods are out there in the present time at least the Greek gods. So what come after this? cheetah is not really a villan I think people will find... well interesting. Maybe they will introduce female villans in Birds of prey movie and use those characters i don't know. i just hope Ares was a bigger villan as your version.
My money in on Circe being the real big bad and she is responsible for turning Minerva into Cheetah.
Dr. Psycho?
That's because you know nothing about Cheetah. Barbara Ann is an archeologist, she's Diana's workmate at the museum, they're friends, however, Barbara grows jealous of Diana and seeks the Cheetah curse in Africa. That's the story in a nutshell, mark my words
They have already cast Cheetah as the villain for WW2
Kristen Wiig has been cast as Cheetah, but I doubt she'll be the only villain. It's hard to go from a literal god to Cheetah.
You are just freaking amazing wow, that was realy realy good. Full respect !
Awesome video, you always manage to fix movies even those which are amazing, you are one of my inspirations to post videos keep up the awesome work
Thanks
Nicely done! I love these videos. As a writer, it's fantastic to watch you pull stories apart--whether I already enjoy them or not--and fit them together in new and compelling ways. Keep on!
What do you think of dark night rises and would you make any changes to ir? ( I know it's random but I'm curious because I've been thinking about it recently)
It has it's moments but I don't like it anyway near as much as TDK or Batman Begins. I haven't thought about that one yet, but I'll give it another look.
Thanks man, I'm in the minority thinking it's the best of the perfect trilogy (entertainment wise but obviously not in its use of themes)
Yeah I honestly like Begins most out the three. It's so we'll put together. TDK is great but the Joker plot contrivances mixed with the Two Face ending are where it loses me.
Nando v Movies It does feel like 2 movies, the 1st finishes with the Jokers victory that he has power of Batman (shown in the interragtion scene) followed by 2 more ending so I get your point. Would you say the dark Night trilogy beats most of the MCU?
Nando v Movies I agree with your opinion here. I felt that they missed the mark on theming with Rises.
I'd love to see what you can do with it.
I always look forward to your videos! They’re pure genius and make me regret what could’ve been. I love how calmly you explain throughout the video and I can envision EXACTLY what you describe. Thank you so much 😊 I can’t wait to see future vids!!
Fantastic. You amaze me every time you upload a video.
I’ve never screamed in excitement so loudly in my life before hearing you discuss that blind spot part of the movie. No spoilers for those yet to watch this video. Best. Idea. Ever!
Liked it before even started watching!
Duuude.
This is so well thought out. Doctor Poison totally IS a great foil to Diana. The gray morals stuff is fantastic and I totally agree that it fulfills all the deeper meanings they were hinting at throughout but didn't quite establish to their completion. Plus Charlie gets a redemption moment and Diana standing to the plane's wing would be hella cool.
And THANK YOU for pointing out that Ares shouldn't have lightning powers! As a classical greek nerd, it was totally bugging me while I watched the movie
Ooh I was waiting for this so much!
Watching these videos makes me wish of a 'Nandoverse' where all your movie edits are how the movie actually went but then I'm sad that I don't live in that universe.
Keep it up!
I always thought, instead of the Amazons already having an invisible jet, Trevor should have stolen it from the Germans/bad guys/whatever and it being an expirimental stealth thing. Not my most articulate sentence, but you get the idea.
The other option I like is them making a jet Steve brings invisible, via magic.
A jet? In ww1? Let alone an invisible one, that would be a bit out of place.
@@josharntt Wolfenstein: Hold my weizenbier
As long as Steve's speech is as emotional as the one in the movie I'd be so into this
What a fantastic edit
Hey im its_a_me_SPAGHETTI !!
It's Been great building a pc for you, Keep on being awesome !!
This guy is the best! Thank you again Spaghetti.
This is so satisfying! Ever since I first saw Wonder Woman, I've been saying she needed to face a conflict she couldn't fight her way out of - what does a warrior princess do when fighting isn't an option? It's so much more interesting!
Love the Wonder woman vids, but isnt there a Justice League rewrite coming?
It's coming. Probably at least a month out. But it's coming.
I would have loved Wonder-woman movie more if they did this, you did such a great job incorporating all of the side characters to have their own moments!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're honestly brilliant.
Thanks!
Ive honestly loved all of your changes to all of the movies youve done. Keep up the great work.
Make a discord.
People have mentioned this before. What would it be for? Like what do people do with them beside play video games?
It's a really good way to communicate with your fans directly, and to discuss future ideas
Do other UA-camrs do them? Maybe I can check out how they use it.
It was originally just a way for gamers to have a reliable way to communicate while playing games, but it has evolved into a bigger social network that is incredibly useful, I'd be glad to help you set it up!
yeah! no rush. you can learn as much as you want about discord before you get started. It's basically a chat room with moderators and anyone can join it. It is now a very big network that will only get bigger in the future.
So clever. I always felt the ending of Wonder Woman was lackluster, and this brings a lot more to it emotionally. Keep up the good work!
Great edit but Steve or Doctor Poison could just jump out of the plane as it nears the water or else swim out of it. It's a good way to off them and make Steve sacrifice but still escapable
Hey Nando, I started listening to Mad Bracket Status after your last video went up, and I can’t get enough of it! It’s great, and I can’t wait to see what the new iteration of the podcast ends up being!
Thanks! We are getting close to launching the new thing. The name is honestly the hardest part.
Watching this pisses me off that billion dollar budgeted movies don’t have writing this good.
Have you seen infinity war yet? And imagine if they had also hired him.
Nando, you are a god amongst movie-rewriting UA-camrs. I come away from every one of your videos wishing you were part of the writing team. Your hotfixes are so artful and elegant.
If you like this guy's videos, Patreon the guy!
Your versions are better than the original especially the Ares one
I have been binging your videos and I want to say your script doctoring skills are fantastic!
I hope to write as well as you!
Can you be in charge of DC movies from now on?
While I was a little dismissive of the first one of these two for having a complaint I don't feel is legitimate and I see all the time, this solidified it for me. Doctor Poison is really a perfect antagonist and foil for Wonder Woman, and was my favorite of the three antagonists in the movie. I will say that instead of not laughing with Ludendorff, she could just have a different tone, an uncomfortable playing along tone, on realizing he's laughing about killing a room full of people. It gives some decent character to both of them without any explicit dialogue.
I like these 2 parter re-writes you are doing, they are great, also, can You do a review for Infinity War? I would love to know your opinions on the film, or maybe on Ready Player One.
We'll probably talk about those on my podcast Mad Bracket Status. We actually did a ready player one episode two weeks ago.
Nando v Movies oh cool were can I find your podcast
Oh it's on iTunes and Stitcher and stuff like that. Also SoundCloud.
Nando v Movies ok awesome, Thanks!
Disarming Ares was genius, aerial combat for the ending? Hell yes please, it's perfect.
I see you've covered a lot of my fav film, I'm starting to afraid to watch your rewrites that it will ruin how I see these movies xD
This is a nice change to the movie but i don't like it because i liked that scene where she laughs at the people dying. The female villians are always the one who are emotionally conflicted and turned over to the side of the hero see every bond movie ever. I really loved that scene because it shows that she loves what she does. You are right, being a female chemist at that time would have been difficult and the only place she would have be effective would have been in the war. I personally think that rather than fighting the war she would have been happy to be in her chosen profession. Yes she can't practice chemistry as a civilian but why would she want to, in the war she is respected, her work is respected and frankly there's no point in being sad about joining the war effort when she's doing what she wants. Also, dr poison is never seen in the movie at the frontlines, she's always in the comfort of her lab so she didn't see the horrors Diana did. The way she kills people is clean and efficient, no spilt blood or flowing guts or dangling body parts. I think that Dr Poison should have been the villian of the story, but i wanted her to be someone who cared about herself and adapted to the situation she was in. I don't want her to be someone that is uncertain in her morality, we already have every other female villian for that. So yes i think she was one dimensional but not because she was evil and didn't care about the lives of other people but because the movie didn't explore her.
compass696 yes I agree with what your saying, I think a combo of your idea and the videos would make a compelling Villain, where she at first doesn’t want to be “evil” but enjoys finally seeing the people who doubted her perish, I think her deciding to help Wonder Women could be a little anti-climatic and out of character; so instead she tells WW that she is only like this because this was the only way for a woman to achieve something great (in the 1910s) she goes hysterical and drops her gun freeing Steve, I can’t see how it ultimately ends, perhaps dr poison blows up with her only creation who knows.
Heads up, so sorry for the ridiculously long comment.
Perhaps when WW gives Doctor Poison the choice to help them, when it is really her choice, just as the video says, she chooses to not help them. WW probably disarms her, but then she escapes or something. WW, Steve, and the gang are left with a plane full of active bombs and no way to defuse them. This is where we would join the conflict as it is in the video, with Steve saying goodbye and forcing Diana to leave him in the plane, but this time they didn't do all the work of defusing the bombs for nothing and they are still forced to do something with the plane. The argument of "so that they don't get into the wrong hands" seems kinda weak. (although you still run into the problem of why Steve can't just set the plane to crash into the ocean and jump out with the rest without coming up with some plot-convenient problem of why that won't work).
I think Dr. Poison actively choosing to "be evil" would farther make her a foil to Diana and enforce the idea of choice. Sure, most people might not have a choice. But even when they are given a clear choice, people will still choose to do bad things, and it's that choice that defines people. This would enforce the theme that Steve has been trying to tell Diana the whole time, that it's not just all good people forced to do bad things, or all bad people who choose to do bad things all the time. It's a mix of all of those. People do good and bad things because they are forced, and people do good and bad things by choice. Diana's lesson is that humanity is complicated.
One more thing: If all the main character's are simply doing bad things, or things they don't want to do, because they are forced to, that is exactly what Diana thought in the beginning of the movie, except now it's not Ares controlling them but society. I think it's more dynamic if she realizes that it's a mix of being forced and having a choice despite your situation.
I hated the scene.
It felt like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon and didn't fit the tone of what was happening on screen, gender doesn't even need to enter the discussion. Compare it to another black comedy moment in a DC property; the "magic trick" in TDK. It's quick, brutal, and doesn't linger. The humor is derived from the relaxed line delivery accompanied by a nonchalant homicide.
The gas mask pun is lame because it forces the characters to explain the joke to the audience.
This sounds like an awesome movie! My only problem with it is the lack of actual Wonder Woman action in a Wonder Woman movie. It's still fantastic!
Love your stuff man
Thanks!
This was actually a phenomenal video. I’m legit impressed in every way.
So it’s even more like Captain America: The First Avenger now, I didn’t think that was possible. It’s a great fix though
Barrett Jordan honestly that just shows how good that movie was.
that movie was a piece of shit
Chukwudubem Okocha, Wonder Woman? Nah, and Cap 1 definitely isn't.
J Arnett cap 1 is a flaming turd
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers. This is all spot on. Would have loved this ending.
Another fantastic video!:)
This is so much better than the ending. I appreciate all of the "nice touches" also.
I don't think she should roll her eyes and jump off the plane, especially since gal Gadot and wonder woman don't fit with eye rolls.
Instead she should have a smirk-smile as if she finds his hopeless imfatuation a little amusing as a kid would (she is new to society after all)
Yeah a couple of people have mentioned this and I should have clarified. It's not as much of a "ugh, men" kind of eye roll and more of a "oh you scamp" kind of eye roll. She can be smiling during. Kind of like the same intonation as in Justice League, when she says "I work with children".
And I thought the Disarming Ares was good. This just knocks it out of the park. You rock, good sir.
Eh... not quite liking this ending for Wonder Woman. To put things into a modern parlance, Diana needs a "Red Pill" moment to jolt her out of her naiveté. This... doesn't give her that. I'm not sure it's significantly better than what we already got with Professor Lupin throwing lighting at Diana. Different, yes, but better? It's nice for the other characters to get their moments, but for Diana, I don't think it's significantly better.
I'd prefer if Dr. Poison had to fight her way to get into the German army scientific research division. That she WAS psychotic and sociopathic and just plain evil - something that Diana has never encountered in a woman. She's heard stories of men who were like that (always being told it was Ares who made them that way), but just assumed it was something that only could be done for men. Then in the movie she thinks Dr. Poison is corrupted by Ares like men can be; after she "kills" Ares, she finds that the war doesn't stop AND Dr. Poison is still evil. She thinks that Dr. Poison will be able to tell Steve how to disarm the bombs, but as she is telling Steve how to disarm them, Steve recognizes that she's simply delaying him and toying with Diana. By the time he realizes it, there isn't time to find a way to safely land the plane somewhere else - he's over the ocean, just minutes away from London, and he has to crash it into the ocean before it can deliver its payload. When the radio crackles and falls dead after Steve crashes into the ocean, Dr. Poison goes berserk because she's been thwarted, and her life's work is ruined.
No redemption for Dr. Poison. No "This was my only choice!". Straight up, Dr. Poison is Evil, and she CHOSE to do the things she did. Diana realizes that when she was thinking of "Man", she was literally thinking only of Men, and that Women were merely victims of Men. With Dr. Poison being straight up evil, it "Red Pills" her into realizing that the world is far different than she was taught.
I like this more
That tease for the upcoming video had me gasp, I'm so ready. You've very quickly become one of my favorite channels, I tell everyone I know about you.
you are the best
Wonder Woman was already a near perfect movie. But the two big changes you've made to the movie have solidified it as a truly perfect movie. I don't think there are any other changes out there that could "fix" the movie into the masterpiece you've created. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Haha, "a near perfect movie"? Absolutely not. I think you're contrasting Wonder woman with the rest of the dceu a bit too much, it doesn't take much to be a better movie than Suicide squad or Batman v Superman, but Wonder woman is still *nowhere* near a perfect movie, and still not close to being one of the best superhero movies, that title lies with either Logan or The Dark Knight. Wonder Woman is the only "good" dceu movies so far, but it is not great nor is it extraordinary.
HOLLYWOOD HIRE THIS MAN!
I like how you built your version out of other movies. Really makes it easier to imagine!
You are a wonder!
love this, the wing walking dogfight would have been an amazing set piece and would have had so much room for them to play with, and i can just imagine WW swinging from her lasso as the plane aileron rolls and loop de loops
Great dialogue. Great video. Definitely would watch this version of Wonder Woman too. More compelling. And more nail biting too.
Jesus Christ I'm so happy I found you like 3 months ago, this is easily my favourite channel on UA-cam.
I love this change! If only the filmmakers went this route because it's a vast improvement on the character of Dr. Poison, and very in line with Wonder Woman's character!
You. Are. AMAZONG!!! That’s 6 whole levels above amazing!!! Has Hollywood contacted you yet, to help tweak their scripts? You simultaneously fixed and ruined WW for me. Subscribed for life!!!
One *tiny* dialogue change:
"Wow, she is a wonder"
should instead be
"Wow, she is a wonder of a woman."
Roll credits.
Nailed it again. Lord I wish you’d get a chance to do this before the movie is made
You deserve infinitely more subs than you have now, one of the best channels I've ever seen
Good suggestions all around. I really like the direction you propose for Ares. One adjustment I would make is that I don't think Diana would willingly leave Steve to die. She wouldn't parachute out and let him sacrifice himself, and there's no way he could make her go. She would need to have some compelling problem to solve elsewhere. Maybe Samir and the others are about to get shot down, so she has to go rescue them, trusting that Steve and Dr. Poison can handle the bombs. Then you can still have Steve die (or appear to die, when in fact he is pulled into space to become a Green Lantern so you don't lose Chris Pine in the DCEU, huh? Huh?), and Diana still can be affected by his sacrifice in the end.
Also, I don't love having Steve choose to down the plane in the water. It's too Captain America: First Avenger in a movie that already feels overly derivative of that film. I would have Steve, Diana, and Dr. Poison try to think of a plan. They can't blow the plane up, they can't risk letting the gas fall into anyone's hands on either side. Where can they hide the bombs where no one can find them? Themyscira. They can fly the bomber to Themyscira and hide the gas there in the keeping of the Amazons. They can face any number of challenges getting there, Diana would show them the way, etc. But she's not allowed to return. Maybe the magic barrier rips her from the plane when they cross it and that causes it to crash, or maybe she just has to willingly leave for other reasons as I mentioned before, and Steve and Dr. Poison have to cross to the island of the Amazons alone. Maybe Steve is wounded by a fighter bullet, but hangs on long enough to bring the plane to the ground before he dies. Then the Amazons can give him the rare honor of a Themysciran funeral, honoring a man for his sacrifice and bridging their divide a little with his world (unless he gets taken by the Lantern Corps first) In the end, Dr. Poison could choose to stay with the Amazons and re-make herself in their company, away from the war and the troubles and the judgement about her face and the sins of her past. Maybe Hippolyta wants to lift the banishment of Diana and welcome her back, but she chooses instead to go back into the world and do some good. There are lots of interesting paths for how the movie could end, but all of this would be better than the lame CGI fight with Ares.
Nice work. Love the channel.
Brilliant!
This is a very clever solution, admittedly I loved the scene where Diana is deafened before Steve gets in the plane
You are a god Nando, I cant believe you dont have more videos. DUDE!
I get the feeling that most of these issues we see in superhero movies are down to the studios getting involved saying 'We need a big CGI fight to finish the movie! that's what the kids want!' but godamn they need to learn that with writers like you they would be getting lasting success, not just a quick buck. Love these videos and I'm overly impressed with your writing and editing skills. I think it's actually going to change how I watch these superhero movies because as you point out these improvements I think it really shines a light on where the writing is super lazy/enforced. Well done, hope to see more!
Conglaturations--once again you have fixed all my issues with an otherwise great film. Bravo, my friend
It's brilliant work! Superseded all my expectations from the Ares video. Waiting for more analysis and Hat's off Nando! =)
This dude needs to be hired by the movie people. HONESTLY, this is why Black Panther was such a good movie! Well done dude!
Great changes in this and the previous video.
I would say that in my head cannon the Dr Foil laugh does not show that she is evil, she is desperately seeking approval, just as she was in the party talking to Steve.
THANK YOU, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD AN ISSUE WITH ARES USING LIGHTNING!! also overall this is a great video and would much rather go see this version of wonder woman than the actual wonder woman
