Great to see your skeeming shenanigans reacting to this battle. Hope you nail the 60k soon. But, I hear Miami is beautiful at this time of year. Remember "no skipping" and.... obviously you need to actively vote for the map if it pops up. We'll have our people watching :)
@@sick0em0more0 Not code, We Skeem lost the challenge to reach 60k before this video dropped, so as a result, he has to play Miami, his least favorite Cold War map, at every opportunity.
@@athleticgamer66 I liked the Pitch Meeting explanation for that one. "Yeah, George sometimes breaks into the archives and makes changes again. We don't know how he keeps getting in."
“You used your mom as a bulletproof vest.” Dang, Luke. How’s Harry gonna recover from that? “You mom died of heartache when she saw your face.” OH! OKAY THEN!
Gotta love it when a rebuttal takes a hard hitting line and just erases it like that. Pure uno reverse there. Luke roasted harry with his line, but when harry came back you just forgot all about lukes version.
@727loco Yup, that's why in my book the rebuttal by Harry though great, didn't "erase" the bar dropped by Luke. Props also to Anorexic Hobbit. That's nastier than people realize (or I see to much into it & wasn't ERB's intention).
The sequels to the main trilogy are literally just the main trilogy story, but done again and with worse writing and with a Mary Sue character that never really lives up to Luke or Anikan or the mandelorian or any of the clones wars protags or ... well you get the point. Ya I have to agree while the prequels were bad because boring the sequels were bad because they just made a worse version of the original Trilogy. Which is the more unforgivable sin because atleast the prequels tried to do something different.
@@MVPUnlucky The thing about the prequels is...they're awful as a whole, but ROTS is actually pretty great. It's just not great enough to make up for the other two and say the prequels are great. The prequels are two bad movies with some awesome parts and one great movie with a few really headscratching parts. The original trilogy is two great movies (one of which has begun to show it's age) and a decent movie that gets carried by the other two movies as a trilogy. The sequel trilogy is pretty much like you said. One movie is literally a copy of a previous original movie except worse, one had the balls to try something very different and had some good ideas except it was executed horribly, and the other was just a losing racer that said "fuck it" and regardless of everything was determined to at least finish.
@@KingShadowOmega I'd say empire strikes back and Rogue one are great movies, ANH, RotJ, RotS are good movies. The Force Awakens is a decent movie, the rest are bad.
19:40 Skeem: "It doesn't need explaining, but I'm enjoying the bars, so I explain the ones that I enjoy whether you like it or not!" Me: **standing ovation** This is what people who complain about pauses need to understand. This is why reactions are fun: because we get to see others geek out about stuff we geek out over!
"I have a bad feeling about this" is the most said quote in the Star Wars franchise, beating even "may the force be with you". Pretty much all of the major characters have said it at one point.
@MamaWuf not really. I think Dune is a great example of why in desert planets moisture farming is a very necessary business. Transporting water can be done but if you want to actually retain that water you will need reclamation from bothe the air and ground.
26:27 Deathsticks are from "hey you wanna buy some deathsticks" *jedi hand wave* "you're going to go home and rethink your life" "I'm going to go home and rethink my life" AND the elder wand was called the deathstick a couple times
"Its harry potter and star wars...There's gonna be references inside of references wrapped into references that are referencing the other references" *Instant Sub*
Exactly. Dave was worried that with his hair the way that it is, he wouldn't ever be in an ERB. I'm glad this was a way to have him be in a battle. He absolutely killed it
I know Harry Potter had harder disses but I just loved how much fun Luke's bars were. Even if some where cheesy like Griffin-dork. They made me chuckle.
Regarding the Potter/seed planting line, the plant Luke pulls out of the pot is called a Mandrake, which is a living plant in Harry Potter that shrieks when taken out of soil. Its shrieks are so loud and intense that they will cause most people to pass out within seconds and can even be fatal. This is a visual addition to the line in that what Luke is about to say is going to be potentially fatal for Harry to hear battle-wise.
Got a triple on this, Dave Brown, ERB and Skeem. Long time fan of all 3 so I get to geek hardcore. Poor Skeem having to actively vote for Miami though.....so harsh. I'll be supporting you!

Also, with breakdown formats like this, it's easier to catch all the stuff being slung, coz you don't miss as much while reacting to a previous bar.
Padme’s death was actually due to Palpatine. He transferred her life force into Anakin because he would have died during surgery otherwise. Which is why the medical droid said she was dying despite being perfectly healthy.
AbsalomIndustries Privet Drive wasn’t a home for Harry, it was a prison. He hated it there, at one point he literally had iron bars on his window and even that was only after his aunt and uncle were threatened into giving him a room instead of a cupboard under the stairs.
Gotta disagree about the prequels being worse than the sequels. The prequels didn’t ruin every aspect of the franchise. Luke’s character was wrecked in the sequels. The sequels have ruined spacebattles with the Holdo Maneuver, there’s no reason to do anything else. The sequels have elevated the stakes to levels that are just ludicrous, 1000 Star Destroyers each with the ability to destroy a planet is just about as far as you can go. The writing in the prequels wasn’t exactly the best but it wasn’t as bad as “these highly advanced Star Destroyers don’t know how to go up” or “The Emperor survived the Death Star exploding because Dark Side”. Force Healing as it’s presented in the sequels breaks the story of other characters. I wonder who could have possibly wanted the ability to heal someone they cared about? The characters in the sequels are inconsistent and wasted. Finn has so much potential that went nowhere, Poe is just suddenly friends with Rey and co with no explanation, Rey is bland and overpowered to the extreme and Kylo/Ben flips and flops on what side he’s on and what he wants. The Force has gone from an interesting piece of the universe to a plot device. Palpatine is back because The Force, Palpatine can drain life force from someone he’s fighting because The Force, Palpatine can somehow become all of the Sith and Rey all of the Jedi because The Force and Kylo and Rey can teleport things and make video calls to each other because The Force. I’m sure that there are more examples that I haven’t written. Force Ghosts can now interact with the physical world and use The Force, why don’t they help out with anything? Anakin never brought balance to The Force because Palpatine survived. Anakin says to Rey in her final fight with Palpatine “bring balance to The Force as I did”. The people writing the movies don’t even understand them. Let’s not even delve into the stupidity of a chunk of the Death Star that large surviving the explosion and then reentry into water. The glass isn’t even broken. Rey, someone born and raised on a desert planet, manages to perfectly sail through waters that the more experienced characters said that they wouldn’t risk attempting to sail through on her first try and is perfectly safe. The writing in the sequels makes the prequels look like the most well written story in history. The prequels aren’t exactly the best but they’re vastly superior to the sequels.
as movies they were better, structure wise. And they were less boring. Lore wise, even though they did not bring it together that well; was better in the prequels while Lore wise the Sequels were worse
I've watched you for a bit and you didn't seem to go back into my recommendations until now. And WOW! You've grown a lot and have upgraded to an amazing setup! Glad to know that you're succeeding on UA-cam.
I appreciate the amount of work and editing that goes into your videos. While this maybe a reaction video, it's far and above all others in the fact that you add content and give actual thought and not just straight up steal other's hard-work. That ending pixel deer, music, and snowflakes made me stick through the credits all the way to end.
Mcklunkey is the latest attempt by Lucas to "fix" the Han shot first scene, now not only does Han dodge a blaster shot, but Greedo also yells out Mcklunkey before firing his gun.
Your ability to stretch a what should be a 5-7minute reaction into a 30+ minute video is simply amazing Also I heard a great quote from a friend that jarjar banks had more characterization than the sequel trilogy
Yeah, like who is going to farm moisture on a planet covered in water? You farm moisture on a desert planet because no one's gonna deliver it to you. The whole point is Tattooine is a backwater void that nobody would ever choose to live on and the only trade that goes on is of the blackmarket variety. Somebody has to make sure you don't die of thirst.
The Selena Gomez line is not just a reference to the Disney Channel bumpers, she played the main character in the Disney Sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place. Since Star Wars is owned by Disney, it makes that reference even more potent.
For some reason I didn't get the notification for ERB, but I did get the notification for his reaction lol.So thanks for letting me know there's a new video :-D
lol me too! i saw the notification for skeem's video first and thought he was reacting to something else. when i realized it was an ERB, i had to watch the original first, then i came here
He's dead. They can try and bring back Maul and Fett. But nah. They dead. So far as I'm concerned it's far more likely that someone is posing as them. Huge galaxy easy to do. For me to be able to even enjoy Star Wars that's how I watch it lol. Otherwise it goes into "nobody actually dies" bs territory and is unwatchable. Fix their mistakes by saying "nah, someone stole the identity". Bam. Watchable again.
I mean, it's not that NicePeter wanted to do it but he couldn't get the impression right, it's that they wanted the voice to be a real british accent from the start.
I'm pretty sure the "Hero's story" template goes way further back than fucking tolkien , i love the legendarium but tolkien didn't invent the template for the movies
@@stevenilijanich1248 Bruh, JK Rowling and George Lucas have both said this 🙈🙈🙈 But yeah sure Tolkien probably got it from somewhere else. However i can’t see anything in Greek or Roman mythology, neither in Shakespeare or Dostojevski or Sun Tzu or whatever. So please indulge me o wise one. Where does it originate then? And if you don’t know... STFU 🤫
Well done Skeem, really good reaction. I really wish I could be a member of the channel. Anyway hope you a very good day. Edit: that rant about the prequels is nice and I agree, I wasn’t even around to see that movie when it came out. From the acting to the bad writing.
Its not like you can grow rice on a desert planet, so gathering up moisture is a decent living. Aint nobody on that planet living large but jabba, but they had their own land, enough money to buy droids to do labor, eat and have a roof over their head while not being slaves. For that planet they did pretty good.
@@thenuclearreactor9334 one of the main positives of placing Luke Skywalker on Tatooine was that it was both a backwater and the planet Darth Vader hated the most and would never want to visit again, making it a perfect place to hide the child that Obi Wan and Yoda thought would save the galaxy. Moving to a nicer planet would put Obi Wan and Luke at greater risk of discovery just because more people are there to notice force shenanigans.
This is a great review! I discovered your channel only a few hours ago, and it was a quick sub before I finished the first video (a few more and here I am!) I always appreciate a good reaction but I also appreciate breaking down the jokes/digs/lines and going into them and explaining them too. Many jokes I do get, others I do not (either I didn't know enough abiut them or it went over my head) but it is great to see what some really mean in detail! Keep up the great work with your videos! As for who won...well I am a Star Wars guy myself over Harry Potter (I enjoy both) but Harry took this!
@@SpiderMan-ni8ek Or maybe because he doesnt want to be spock for the rest of his career and instead wants to be known for his laundry list of other works. Not every actor wants to live the convention circuit to make money.
I didn't know this many Zoomers watched my channel. But I hear that's a demographic you want. Welcome Zoomers! You're totally right, the prequels are excellent. True art is found in horrible CG, boring political narratives, acting on par with High School plays, and creating potholes instead of fixing them. Perfection. Thanks for helping me see the error of my ways! Subscribe for more prequel loving content!
@@Eldergodconsultant yeah, the memes made me look to these two with a The Room pair of glasses. Especially Attack of The Clones, almost every line that Anakin says on that movie can be turned into a meme.
@@neostrax3646 I think that the sequels are worse. Even though I like The Last Jedi quite a bit, Kathleen Kennedy didn't had a view of where she wanted the story to end (to make the trilogy a path to this ending), she just hired some good directors and said "meh, just do your thing, I don't give a shit, I just want the money". The prequels were poorly made, yes, but they had at least a soul, a clear intent of what they should represent and where the story should lead to. The sequels were just a bunch of random stories wrapped up with silver tape and sold to the public in the hopes that nobody would notice the silver tape barely holding them together. I mean, I don't even know what themes the sequels wanted to discuss, was it the struggle of Rey to find her identity? Was it the clash of generations and the different way to view the world? I don't fucking know! At least the prequels had this tiny bit of narrative coherence to the Star Wars universe that you could tell the major themes of each film and how they related to the original trilogy. Even though, yes, it was extremely poorly executed, it at least was there, unlike the sequels, that felt like a shameless cashgrab to milk a popular franchise on the expense of the fans of the originals.
I bet this will get lost in the sea of comments but just an idea. For starters I love your stuff and I think it could be cool if ranked all of the erbs this season (Elon vs zuc - luke vs Harry)
only thing you got wrong was the spelling of Dursleys but it's very obvious what you meant so it's fine and anyone who says otherwise can go screw themselves because it's very obvious what you meant so who cares if you made a slight typo
Amazing breakdown as always my man. Ya missed a couple bars but I'm not gonna be the one to rag on ya for it, especially since I see others mentioned them already. Can't wait for your next vid my dude.
Coming from someone who had never seen a single Star Wars movie in their entirety until 6 months ago at the age of 17: Revenge of The Sith and Empire Strikes Back are both tied for first place. Fight me (Rest of the prequels are god awful tho)
The dialogue is awful in the prequels, almost especially ep3... but the story is soooo much better than the sequel movies and they're patchwork garbage. And if you watch through the clone wars series it actually fleshes out the prequels immensely. The final four episodes (have to watch the rest first) are up there with empire to me.
Legit found this out yesterday. Maclunky was something that Greedo said to Han in the Cantina as well as Sebulba said to Anakin in the Phantom Menace. Basically, it means “this will be the end of you,” which Luke said in the rap battle in Yoda speak only to have Yoda repeat it essentially by saying “Maclunky”
Great reaction as always. You're correct the prequels are trash. Harry Potter is a good. I'd love to see you do a tier list for all of the ERBs. That would make an epic video.
“Im a rhyming jedi like my father before me” Its a reference to Luke saying to the Emperor in Return Of The Jedi “I am a Jedi, like my father before me”
Finally, someone who never forgot how much the prequels were hated and remembers how much they suck. Earned a subscriber. The new movies aren't amazing, but it takes a special kind of crazy to put them beneath the trilogy that gave us Jar Jar.
well, lets compare good things in the prequels: Ewan McGregor as young obi wan, Ian MacDiarmid returning as Sheev Palpatine, the lightsaber fights (specifically the Dual of the Fates and Battle on Mustafar), a closer look at Order 66 good things in the sequels: bad things in the prequels: bad directing leading to occasionally stiff acting, jar jar, cringy romance, politics. bad things in the sequels: *Cracks Knuckles* retreading the original trilogy, just without the quality. killing off established character's willy nilly. a bland main character that shows up and is just better than everyone. Star Wars episode 8: The Last Jedi. the Emperor kills himself, all rey did was hold up some stick while the Emperor shocked himself to death. "Who are you?" "Rey" "Rey who?" "Rey Skywalker" I guess this goes to show that quality is subjective, because from my position, there's literally nothing good about the sequels
prequels are bad at smaller micro stuff like dialogue and character moments and way too much cgi, but the story the prequels tell is still great. the sequels have the exact opposite problem, individual scenes and character dialogue is great but when you zoom out a little bit and look at the big picture and the overall story they tell, the sequels are objectively way more of a mess. at least the prequels knew what they were going to do
I havnt seen anybody call out that the selena gomez bar actually is about wizards of waverly place too not just drawing the mickey ears but it took me lime 13 watch throughs to catch it Wizards of waverly place us a show on disney
Did he just reference one of the OG virals??? I love me some TROGOR the BURNINATOR!!!! Burninating the countryside!! There is a line in the battle that I really really wanted them to reference Trogdor and they didn't.
His mom used the blood bond charm to save harry. By using her life as a barrier her love for harry flows through in every fiber of his being keep him safe from magical or physical attacks cast by the attacker.

Force Healing as it’s presented in the sequels breaks the story of other characters. I wonder who could have possibly wanted the ability to heal someone they cared about?
The characters in the sequels are inconsistent and wasted. Finn has so much potential that went nowhere, Poe is just suddenly friends with Rey and co with no explanation, Rey is bland and overpowered to the extreme and Kylo/Ben flips and flops on what side he’s on and what he wants.
The Force has gone from an interesting piece of the universe to a plot device. Palpatine is back because The Force, Palpatine can drain life force from someone he’s fighting because The Force, Palpatine can somehow become all of the Sith and Rey all of the Jedi because The Force and Kylo and Rey can teleport things and make video calls to each other because The Force. I’m sure that there are more examples that I haven’t written.
Force Ghosts can now interact with the physical world and use The Force, why don’t they help out with anything?
Anakin never brought balance to The Force because Palpatine survived. Anakin says to Rey in her final fight with Palpatine “bring balance to The Force as I did”. The people writing the movies don’t even understand them.
Let’s not even delve into the stupidity of a chunk of the Death Star that large surviving the explosion and then reentry into water. The glass isn’t even broken.
Rey, someone born and raised on a desert planet, manages to perfectly sail through waters that the more experienced characters said that they wouldn’t risk attempting to sail through on her first try and is perfectly safe.
The writing in the sequels makes the prequels look like the most well written story in history.
The prequels aren’t exactly the best but they’re vastly superior to the sequels.
Thanks for that
Yeah this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, the prequels were an 100 times better than the sequels
as movies they were better, structure wise. And they were less boring. Lore wise, even though they did not bring it together that well; was better in the prequels while Lore wise the Sequels were worse
I've watched you for a bit and you didn't seem to go back into my recommendations until now. And WOW! You've grown a lot and have upgraded to an amazing setup! Glad to know that you're succeeding on UA-cam.
Born 2002 and while the movies are objectively bad, they opened up the universe so much I’ll defend then for that alone.
Nostalgia is strong, Zoomer.
Maclunky is a refrence to refrence to the A new hope Disney plus edition which adds one line to greedo before he gets shot: maclunky
I appreciate the amount of work and editing that goes into your videos. While this maybe a reaction video, it's far and above all others in the fact that you add content and give actual thought and not just straight up steal other's hard-work. That ending pixel deer, music, and snowflakes made me stick through the credits all the way to end.
Glad you liked it
Best reaction on UA-cam dude keep up the good work
Mcklunkey is the latest attempt by Lucas to "fix" the Han shot first scene, now not only does Han dodge a blaster shot, but Greedo also yells out Mcklunkey before firing his gun.
Your ability to stretch a what should be a 5-7minute reaction into a 30+ minute video is simply amazing
Also I heard a great quote from a friend that jarjar banks had more characterization than the sequel trilogy
I think Percy Jackson vs Harry Potter would be a very interesting and intense battle. They have a lot of similarities and things to roast.
24:50 the reference was inspired by Selena Gomez’s roll in “Wizards of Waverly Place” not the magic wand of Disney.
Not even gonna try to lie...the pause counter is definitely the best part of the video.
Just finished watching ERB then came straight here. Break it down for me Skeems! Let the PAUSING, BEGIN!
Also, the prequels are awesome screw you fight me.
I like skeem calling out the moisture farming bar, I thought it was pretty dumb as well
Yeah, like who is going to farm moisture on a planet covered in water? You farm moisture on a desert planet because no one's gonna deliver it to you. The whole point is Tattooine is a backwater void that nobody would ever choose to live on and the only trade that goes on is of the blackmarket variety. Somebody has to make sure you don't die of thirst.
ok this is fucking skill XD like god never have i saw someone make 4 min video into half an hour
“I got the cooler stick”
Used for BUTT STUF- I’m sorry
no you're not don't lie
Out of all the reactions I've seen. You caught the most references. Nice!
The Selena Gomez line is not just a reference to the Disney Channel bumpers, she played the main character in the Disney Sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place. Since Star Wars is owned by Disney, it makes that reference even more potent.
For some reason I didn't get the notification for ERB, but I did get the notification for his reaction lol.So thanks for letting me know there's a new video :-D
lol me too! i saw the notification for skeem's video first and thought he was reacting to something else. when i realized it was an ERB, i had to watch the original first, then i came here
"where Bobafett gets totally jank killed"
Mmmmmm.... wouldn't say he gets killed mate. Just taken out of the movie.
He's dead. They can try and bring back Maul and Fett. But nah. They dead. So far as I'm concerned it's far more likely that someone is posing as them. Huge galaxy easy to do. For me to be able to even enjoy Star Wars that's how I watch it lol. Otherwise it goes into "nobody actually dies" bs territory and is unwatchable. Fix their mistakes by saying "nah, someone stole the identity". Bam. Watchable again.
@@WeSkeem you watch the mandolorian yes ? There’s explanations for why he’s alive kinda
@@WeSkeem on the latest episode of madalorian he is... no spoilers.
@@WeSkeem Ah, basically denial. Gotcha.
@@WeSkeem The Mandalorian basically confirmed that Boba is still alive years after Return of the Jedi
This video introduced me to you Skeem. And now I have watched all of your erb reactions and have to browse through your channel for more of your sass.
Even NicePeter admitted that he couldn't get the accent right so he had actual brits voice Harry Potter while he voiced Luke Skywalker
Dave brown aka boyinaband check him out
I mean, it's not that NicePeter wanted to do it but he couldn't get the impression right, it's that they wanted the voice to be a real british accent from the start.
Was waiting for your reaction! Top notch as always 😁❤️
That wasn't Voldemort's face in the pot, it was a mandrake root from the Harry Potter franchise.
Love the pauses❤. Great reaction!
Both their stories are based on Frodo and Gandalf anyways 🤷🏻♂️
Truueeeee
I'm pretty sure the "Hero's story" template goes way further back than fucking tolkien , i love the legendarium but tolkien didn't invent the template for the movies
@@valaquiz6851 don’t think we said that tbh but thank you captain obvious 👏
@@stevenilijanich1248 Bruh, JK Rowling and George Lucas have both said this 🙈🙈🙈
But yeah sure Tolkien probably got it from somewhere else. However i can’t see anything in Greek or Roman mythology, neither in Shakespeare or Dostojevski or Sun Tzu or whatever. So please indulge me o wise one. Where does it originate then? And if you don’t know... STFU 🤫
@Frisky Centipede I've seen arguments that the legend(s) of King Arthur could fit this Hero's Journey template as an ancient example.
Well done Skeem, really good reaction. I really wish I could be a member of the channel. Anyway hope you a very good day.
Edit: that rant about the prequels is nice and I agree, I wasn’t even around to see that movie when it came out. From the acting to the bad writing.
But he's poor and not doing well selling moisture cause its a really hot desert planet that doesn't have much moisture so its actually a very good dis
Its not like you can grow rice on a desert planet, so gathering up moisture is a decent living. Aint nobody on that planet living large but jabba, but they had their own land, enough money to buy droids to do labor, eat and have a roof over their head while not being slaves. For that planet they did pretty good.
Then move to another planet
@@thenuclearreactor9334 one of the main positives of placing Luke Skywalker on Tatooine was that it was both a backwater and the planet Darth Vader hated the most and would never want to visit again, making it a perfect place to hide the child that Obi Wan and Yoda thought would save the galaxy. Moving to a nicer planet would put Obi Wan and Luke at greater risk of discovery just because more people are there to notice force shenanigans.
@@thenuclearreactor9334 moving to another plant isn't cheep (i presume) just trying to travel between plants seems expensive.
@@thenuclearreactor9334 poor? just move to another country! It aint that simple, and besides luke was being hidden at the time too remember
"Why don't you have Goldie Balls show you the protocol."
C3PO is a protocol droid.
the prequels are great.... memes. they're great memes. but uh... that's it.
Edit: dual of the fates was cool
ROTS
So was the the ending march theme if you listen very carefully and rewatch return of the jedi
This is a great review! I discovered your channel only a few hours ago, and it was a quick sub before I finished the first video (a few more and here I am!) I always appreciate a good reaction but I also appreciate breaking down the jokes/digs/lines and going into them and explaining them too. Many jokes I do get, others I do not (either I didn't know enough abiut them or it went over my head) but it is great to see what some really mean in detail! Keep up the great work with your videos! As for who won...well I am a Star Wars guy myself over Harry Potter (I enjoy both) but Harry took this!
Honestly if they had asked they could have probably gotten Daniel Radcliffe to actually do Harry
@Master Of Internet Because he's an ungrateful idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. :)
@@SpiderMan-ni8ek I’m pretty sure it’s because he personally disagrees with certain opinions of JK but don’t quote me that’s just what I’ve heard
@@SpiderMan-ni8ek Or maybe because he doesnt want to be spock for the rest of his career and instead wants to be known for his laundry list of other works. Not every actor wants to live the convention circuit to make money.
Your videos are awesome man! I'm not from an English speaking country, so I wouldn't catch some bars without all your pausing stuff! Keep doing it
I didn't know this many Zoomers watched my channel. But I hear that's a demographic you want. Welcome Zoomers! You're totally right, the prequels are excellent. True art is found in horrible CG, boring political narratives, acting on par with High School plays, and creating potholes instead of fixing them. Perfection.
Thanks for helping me see the error of my ways! Subscribe for more prequel loving content!
Sarcasm on point skeem lol
Prequel memes has taken over my generation. I'm certainly not complaining.
i don't care about any of this im just happy you referenced that goofy ass cartoon bro lol.
Don’t forget about conversations in half circles! Those are the best!
Lmao, take care man.
Loved the prequel rant, such passion.
I love the prequels but I admit they’re actually bad, except Revenge of the Sith. I just the world, the story and the characters. Oh and the action.
Phantom Menace is bad and Attack of The Clones is fucking appalling, but Revenge of The Sith is actually my top 4 Star Wars movie.
@@MarceloZ2 for some reason, I enjoy them all. Even the terrible dialogue. I think that memes help me like the scenes instead of hate them.
@@Eldergodconsultant yeah, the memes made me look to these two with a The Room pair of glasses. Especially Attack of The Clones, almost every line that Anakin says on that movie can be turned into a meme.
Revenge of the sith is the least bad of the prequels but the prequels are still just as bad as the sequels.
@@neostrax3646 I think that the sequels are worse. Even though I like The Last Jedi quite a bit, Kathleen Kennedy didn't had a view of where she wanted the story to end (to make the trilogy a path to this ending), she just hired some good directors and said "meh, just do your thing, I don't give a shit, I just want the money". The prequels were poorly made, yes, but they had at least a soul, a clear intent of what they should represent and where the story should lead to. The sequels were just a bunch of random stories wrapped up with silver tape and sold to the public in the hopes that nobody would notice the silver tape barely holding them together. I mean, I don't even know what themes the sequels wanted to discuss, was it the struggle of Rey to find her identity? Was it the clash of generations and the different way to view the world? I don't fucking know! At least the prequels had this tiny bit of narrative coherence to the Star Wars universe that you could tell the major themes of each film and how they related to the original trilogy. Even though, yes, it was extremely poorly executed, it at least was there, unlike the sequels, that felt like a shameless cashgrab to milk a popular franchise on the expense of the fans of the originals.
Yo I’ve never heard of you before, but after this vid, happy to say you got a new sub & I hope you keep growing! 🔥
I bet this will get lost in the sea of comments but just an idea. For starters I love your stuff and I think it could be cool if ranked all of the erbs this season (Elon vs zuc - luke vs Harry)
Amazing reaction, so good to see a fresh ERB!!
Correct me if im mistaken BUT The privet drive reference was the street harry lived on with the durselys
you're right don't worry
@@jrcspiderman2003 thanks bud :)
only thing you got wrong was the spelling of Dursleys but it's very obvious what you meant so it's fine and anyone who says otherwise can go screw themselves because it's very obvious what you meant so who cares if you made a slight typo
Funny fact: your video popped up in my feed before ERB. LOL
17:27 Lmao. U just earned urself a new sub dude. 😆
I think he's the only reaction guy that pauses so much and I still like it.
This was the probable season finally and is the first battle where Lloyd doesn’t make an appearance in (either as a rapper or cameo)
"Rhyming Jedi..." Reference to Lucas' famous meme line regarding the structure of the whole saga.
"It's like poetry, it rhymes!"
I've lurked to skeem for a looooong time.... Sir, your mini rant about hating the prequels has forced me to hit the subscribe button. Thank you!
I did it!
I think the prequels were okay lol
@@TheMetalman897 I mean if you compare them to a movie like Dragon Ball: Evolution they are award winning movies
@@rockerchris82 putting anything next dragon ball evolution is going to it look good
@@TheMetalman897 that was the point
Amazing breakdown as always my man. Ya missed a couple bars but I'm not gonna be the one to rag on ya for it, especially since I see others mentioned them already. Can't wait for your next vid my dude.
Coming from someone who had never seen a single Star Wars movie in their entirety until 6 months ago at the age of 17: Revenge of The Sith and Empire Strikes Back are both tied for first place. Fight me
(Rest of the prequels are god awful tho)
The dialogue is awful in the prequels, almost especially ep3... but the story is soooo much better than the sequel movies and they're patchwork garbage.
And if you watch through the clone wars series it actually fleshes out the prequels immensely. The final four episodes (have to watch the rest first) are up there with empire to me.
Legit found this out yesterday. Maclunky was something that Greedo said to Han in the Cantina as well as Sebulba said to Anakin in the Phantom Menace. Basically, it means “this will be the end of you,” which Luke said in the rap battle in Yoda speak only to have Yoda repeat it essentially by saying “Maclunky”
25:11 69 nice
subscribed. you’re the most entertaining reactor i’ve seen so far on this hellsite. thank u 4 content
Haha it’s funny number haha
lol ok, that “leviosaaawww” reference earned you a like and subscribe 😂
Great reaction as always. You're correct the prequels are trash. Harry Potter is a good.
I'd love to see you do a tier list for all of the ERBs. That would make an epic video.
That is actually a very good idea
“Im a rhyming jedi like my father before me”
Its a reference to Luke saying to the Emperor in Return Of The Jedi “I am a Jedi, like my father before me”
Finally, someone who never forgot how much the prequels were hated and remembers how much they suck. Earned a subscriber. The new movies aren't amazing, but it takes a special kind of crazy to put them beneath the trilogy that gave us Jar Jar.
THANK YOU
well, lets compare
good things in the prequels: Ewan McGregor as young obi wan, Ian MacDiarmid returning as Sheev Palpatine, the lightsaber fights (specifically the Dual of the Fates and Battle on Mustafar), a closer look at Order 66
good things in the sequels:
bad things in the prequels: bad directing leading to occasionally stiff acting, jar jar, cringy romance, politics.
bad things in the sequels: *Cracks Knuckles* retreading the original trilogy, just without the quality. killing off established character's willy nilly. a bland main character that shows up and is just better than everyone. Star Wars episode 8: The Last Jedi. the Emperor kills himself, all rey did was hold up some stick while the Emperor shocked himself to death. "Who are you?" "Rey" "Rey who?" "Rey Skywalker"
I guess this goes to show that quality is subjective, because from my position, there's literally nothing good about the sequels
Prequels have the best memes but the worst dialogue
prequels are bad at smaller micro stuff like dialogue and character moments and way too much cgi, but the story the prequels tell is still great. the sequels have the exact opposite problem, individual scenes and character dialogue is great but when you zoom out a little bit and look at the big picture and the overall story they tell, the sequels are objectively way more of a mess. at least the prequels knew what they were going to do
I havnt seen anybody call out that the selena gomez bar actually is about wizards of waverly place too not just drawing the mickey ears but it took me lime 13 watch throughs to catch it
