I'm glad that Adonis isn't just a Carbon Copy of Rocky. Both are underdogs but in different ways. Adonis is my favorite character because unlike Rocky who seemed to always have a sense of Optimism and will to never back down bolstered by the love of those around him. Adonis is angrier and rougher around the edges due to his upbringing and constantly needs to prove he's more than where he came from.
It's satisfying when a new character actually becomes their own character, and not a carbon copy or a product of a woke message (which makes for a boring or none character).
I always loved Adonis and always saw him as his own character. It was clear he learned from his father and Rocky but still managed to keep his own style, not just in boxing but also as a person. Similar to his father, Adonis is full of anger and ego but the difference is he knows when to let go. Apollo didn't know how to back down from a fight when necessary and sadly it brought his death.
My favorite part in Creed II was when the Russian guy wanted to disqualify him and asked, "What's your name? What's your NAME???" "CREED!!!" F yeah, he earned it and then started to believe it. I love that movie... absolute favorite in the whole franchise.
I wonder what to Apollo’s kids who were heard but not seen in the second movie because I recall that before Damien Anderson was created that Jonathan Majors would be the first born son of Apollo. When my dad and I went to see Creed 3 he pointed out how ridiculous that Mariam dying from the stroke because a real life stroke you wouldn’t be able to speak properly and I saw it coming Speaking of George Washington Duke who do you think is the most evil character in the Rocky/Creed movies because I do believe it’s Ivan Drago’s ex wife as well as George Washington.
In Creed III the kids are mentioned as treating Adonis like an oucast. I've always thought they should've had some kind of on-screen interaction, at least in Creed I or II, but perhaps that is also what makes Adonis' portrayal special - Creed I really focuses on Adonis' journey. Mary Anne had at least one other stroke prior to this, and if not taken preventative measures, strokes can cause death. As far as evil characters, Duke and Ludmilla are definitely up there.
Creed IV I could see as the final film of Adonis the question is what will story be we could see both Adonis and Bianca family appear that would be interesting because a boxing match won't solve that problem.
Right. I wonder how they'll move the series forward in that direction. There's a comic set to come out this summer where Adonis trains Amara 10 years after Creed III
@@whitie5142 maybe a new fighter wanting a chance at the title (kinda like Clubber Lang) or someone related to Clubber Lang; a son or nephew who wants revenge on to Rocky and the Creed family for disgracing his uncle or father, Clubber Lang. Or some fighter from out of state wanting to fight the current champion which is Creed.
They are seen briefly in Rocky II, and they do appear in the Director's Cut of Rocky IV. However, I do agree that we should've seen some interaction between them and Adonis at least in Creed I.
This is a real good video. I love your perspective the parallels what is not what should be more quickly. I appreciate that. Problem is this. I’m not looking for a Adonis to be his father, nor for him to be rocked. My issue is Adonis as a fighter has regressed. Whereas Rocky has a fighter only elevated would be king strong faster. I at least wanted Adonis to surpass Rocky. But the reason why little difficult it because Rocky BK when he was always a Supernatural fine. Adonis is not a super natural fighter. That’s my small gray. Other than that everything else is good.
Thank you! Yeah, I'd like to think in some ways he HAS surpassed both Rocky and Apollo, but that sometimes is hard to say in sequels like this and Cobra Kai
I like your videos very much and love the Rocky and Creed franchise. Creed 3 was not the movie I expected, the overall speed was slow and the motivation of Adonis (I want to prove to my old homie, that I am a real Man) is ridiculous and childish. There was no real development, no growth of Adonis and the story is not providing any deep learning for the audience. Therefore I am not expecting that this franchise will move in the right direction and due to the low speed of the storytelling it will become more a drama than a sportsmovie.
I kinda agree. I felt the movie could've fleshed out Adonis' character and adding more scenes to the movie that would've made it a lot better. Like for example having Adonis talk to Viktor, and Creed asks him to train him (a similar but opposite scene where Apollo seeks Viktor out and convinced him to get his eye of the tiger back by training him in his rematch against Clubber Lang). And maybe even more dialogue between Adonis and Viktor like Viktor even telling him "You're more than just one fight." And this motivates him to continue training and motivates him to fight Damien.
Thank you! I thought Creed III was a different take but a good one. I think like Rocky V - now, it also suffered from deleted scenes. It's a shame because the more recent movies (Rocky V up until Creed III) had a lot of great material they choose to cut for whatever reason.
They will turn the franchise into a sitcom. Creed, Viktor and Dame run a farm in texas and Rocky is the senile neighbor who keeps chasing their chickens.
Why should the Winklers give Stallone the rights to Rocky back? Stallone sold Rocky on his own terms, and it gave him an entire career. Everything Stallone has came from Rocky. I get Stallone wanting control of the property back, but why should it just be handed to him? If he wants the rights to Rocky back, he can pay for them
What's next for Adonis Creed?
Retirement
I honestly think the creed saga has ended
I honestly think he could train Viktor Drago and the two become friends
Rematch w Viktor Drago.And after losing the title,a retirement exhibition match vs a younger opponent.
@@Alispun2003 you and me both

Agreed, at least he fought his way to the top and wanted to do so without Apollo's claim to fame.

I love your videos. The Rocky franchise is 1 of if not my favorite series of films. Your explanations and analysis in these videos are top notch 👌
Thank you so much!
Stryfe keep blessing us with peak content 😭
Thank you!
My favorite part in Creed II was when the Russian guy wanted to disqualify him and asked, "What's your name? What's your NAME???"
"CREED!!!"
F yeah, he earned it and then started to believe it. I love that movie... absolute favorite in the whole franchise.
Keep these vids up man I enjoy them🔥🔥🔥🙏
Thank you!
Adonis Creed,Is & Has Always Hold His Own!
100%
I wanna see where Apollo's other 2 sons are & 1 of them wanting to fight or take down Adonis.
I'm glad Creed III at least mentioned them
I really enjoyed Adonis creed and the creed films 🙂
Same!
Hope they explain how Drago was not the champ in the three years since Donny retired ,
Agreed
It was also Bianca's idea to move to LA which Adonis was originally hesitant to do.
100%
Great video!
Thank you!
Epic movie review sir
Thank you!
Creed III was awesome, I honestly really liked the film and is definitely up there for me.

@@StryfetheWarrior exactly on the most evil characters in Rocky movies and Apollo’s kids part

Creed IV possibly similar to Rocky IV where he fights someone out of the country
Damien's death lol someone would kill him another more intimidating killing machine than Ivan Drago

@@dragonfire4527 That would be dull and repetitive. I think it's better to face some European guy from Germanic country.
@@whitie5142 hmm, your idea sounds interesting.
I feel like they explored this in Creed II though. I'd like to see more Viktor, Dame, and Felix personally.
You never see creed half brother & sister in movies?
They are seen briefly in Rocky II, and they do appear in the Director's Cut of Rocky IV. However, I do agree that we should've seen some interaction between them and Adonis at least in Creed I.
I'm not into whole rocky franchise as whole but creed films swift my mind a little good trilogy of films, first one the best 😁
It definitely has some awesome moments
Adonis is the best
Definitely one of a kind!

adonis was born to fight
Agreed
It's ironic that Adonis has a similar background to Tommy Gunn.
Agreed. I talked about this in my Tommy Gunn video as well; I feel like they share a lot of similarities
Adonis fighting style feels like a mix between Andre Ward and Errol Spence Jr.
That makes sense, especially since Ward was Wheeler.
I wish they had found a way to bring back Clubber Lang.
Agreed; too memorable not to bring back
Number 2
Hey Stryfe, can you make a video on why Tommy Gunn isn’t that bad of a fighter?
Hey! I made a Tommy Gunn video already, but I wouldn't mind expanding on this in the future.
@@StryfetheWarrioralright thanks amigo

When I said give back, I meant buy back.
@@StryfetheWarrior ok, that's fair. If the Winklers aren't even willing to negotiate, which I hadn't heard, then they suck
