  • Step back into the pitch meeting and revisit the completely factual accurate conversation that led to Shazam! Complete with commentary from Ryan George who is now several years older!

    After many years of development, Shazam has joined the DCEU! Billy Batson gets chosen by a wizard to take on the mantle of Shazam and develops the ability to turn into a full-grown superhero. The movie is a ton of fun, but definitely raises a lot of questions. Like what’s up with the bullies being absolute psychopaths? Why is the villain so generic? Why was it so easy for Billy’s mom to just abandon him? Why was the Shazam family so good with their powers?!
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Shazam! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

    My headcannon is that Billy being able to be happy and goofy as Shazam instead of his usual moody self is the result of the Wisdom of Solomon.

    • @isaacsorrels4077
      @isaacsorrels4077 Рік тому +104

      I actually like this. Wisdom isn't about being smart, which is why he doesn't act like some genius.
      Instead it makes him completely aware of the fact that things will eventually work out in his life, so even though times are tough he should enjoy being a kid while he can, as it's only temporary.
      The second he goes back to not having wisdom he gets moody, solemn, and can't look past his circumstances to make the best of his temporary childhood.
      Idk if we are reading into this far beyond what the writers intended, as idk if this was even intentional, but it works.

    I love how Shazam’s main quality in both movies is him wanting to give back his powers to the Wizard because the enemy is really tough lol. What a great character trait for the main character/superhero to have in BOTH movies.
    I also like how when Billy and his foster family say “Shazam!” together, everyone gains the powers, but when Hurut and his father say “Shazam!” (which stands for completely different gods yet still spells Shazam) together, Hurut loses his powers and Teth-Adam gains them. Inconsistency is TIGHT!
    Also, I like the joke of Shazam! not being able to hear what Dr. Sivana is saying, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense since Shazam! has super-hearing, one of the powers of Zeus. Maybe Billy didn’t know he had that ability, since the movie was about him learning what his powers were, but that ability would have automatically activated as Shazam! was trying to hear Dr. Sivana, but whatever.

      He'd probably need extra people to help with the playing and the writing for a VG Pitch Meeting. For story-driven RPGs, you have at LEAST 20 Hours just to finish the game itself, plus script writing time, and then making videos that would probably be much longer than regular Pitch Meetings. All of that on TOP of his regular movie Pitch Meetings. So if he were to do them himself, he'd probably only be able to do them about once every 3-4 months.
      But I'd be 200% Down for this (Or if someone else wants to steal the Pitch Meeting format, but do it for video games themselves)

    Hey Ryan, I was wondering, how do you decide which movies to do a "Pitch Meeting" for? Sometimes it's recently released movies, but other times it's older ones, when do you decide to do those and why select the ones you do?

  • @harrymills2770
    @harrymills2770 Рік тому

    I think it's a genius thing you're doing, Ryan. I think I'd stick around for serious film review, too. The creative process you describe is more craftsmanship than genius. George Carlin was the same way. He wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote until he had like 50 things he could rif on, without any big stake in any of them, and he'd whittle down to 20. He could put together a new one-hour stage show in about a month of full-time - and I do mean full-time - work. Your straight take on the movie, plus digesting what's being said about the movie (That's the perspiration part of your process), is an always-amusing snap-shot of the zeitgeist that never disappoints.
    I hope you find a way to branch out or at least get a good percentage off your pitch meetings, because you're carrying the outfit, whether it's yours or not.
    You've found the perfect vehicle for your comedic gifts.

    Request for Ryan:
    There is only ONE movie I’ve always wondered how they pitched, even years before these pitch meetings were made.
    Human Centipede.

    Will you please make that pitch meeting?

    Loving the revisited eps, amazing to hear some of the process involved and so much work to give us some LOLs.

    This is one of my favorites. Though I think one of the good things about the movie was that it was mostly family-friendly but had a couple of darker moments with higher stakes mixed in. Movies used to do that a lot more and now they seem really hesitant to have differences in tone or intensity throughout.

      That was how I interpreted it - he's gloomy because he's been a powerless kid without a family, and then suddenly gets to feel powerful and adult; I know if my moody teen self had the power to transform into an adult with superpowers, skipping over all of puberty and the other things that cause teen angst, I'd be way happier in that form and go back to acting like an angsty teen whenever I wasn't.

      It's the same as with Spider-Man and Superman. As their alter-egos, they are more subdued, clumsy and/or less confident, while their superhero personas are confident. Most superheroes, to some extent, are different than their alter-egos.
