Nathan really just wakes up and thinks “I’m gonna make a video on a topic nobody knew they wanted to hear analyzed until now”
And now it's a classic
lmaoo exactly my thoughts
📠
And thats why I love his work!
That's pretty much why I'm here, this guy doesn't need to talk about trends to become an instant classic
Nathan Zed has just passionately gave a summary for the twilight love triangle and I am all here for it, it’s actually beautiful
It's crazy to see how far both Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have come since Twilight. Both have proven to be solid actors and almost completely phased out of the Twilight hate at this point.
Facts.
The Batman was fire. It also helps how much and often Pattinson slanders Twilight.
A video about 'The Art of Movie Soundtracks,' would be really interesting.
YESSS upvoted
💯💯❗️❗️
!!!!
Inception, Dune, Baby Driver and Gladiator are a must in that vid
@@d.ml.g9902 nah like soundtracks
"No chemistry, just vibes". Wow I've never thought about Bella and Edwards relationship as them just vibing and understanding each other's vibe but that just makes a lot of sense.
I swear to god you be one of the best creators out there

I found it :]
For real
no cap
top 10 youtuber ever. dont @ me
No cap
Bella being automatically cool because she's a new girl is something I didn't expect from a movie. Even though she had little personality, people were drawn to her because she was new. It was so true. If there was ever a new kid at school, they'd make friends real easy. People really want to talk to the new kid.
As someone who was the new kid in high school: this is true
This is so true holy shit
Haha what I moved so much as a kid. I was never cool. No one cared I was there. Guess I really was a loser
@@AirQuotes with that attitude yeah probably
this is true. People WANT to know what the kew kid is like. It was realistic!
Girl. Can we all talk about Warm Bodies more? The movie: superior. The book: SUPERIOR. The comedy, the horror, the romance are all perfectly balanced. Nic Hoult is God tier.
The book was so good! I need more of these. I wanna see the unwind series as a tvshow or movie. Those book effed me up.
Guy. Agreed
It actually got pretty good reviews too.
Great film
warm bodies my favorite movie of the genre
This man has convinced me to watch Twilight and I never thought I’d say that
same
not even gonna lie, twiilight is good
ive been rewatching the movies lately after quite a few years and that shit is entertaining. im so happy nathan spoke ab new moon, it's genuinely great. twilight saga isn't bad if u can just get into it!
if you take it for what it is, it’s definitely fun to watch! u get sucked into it without even realizing and then when u turn the movie off ur like. wait what even was the plot
Twilight is a classic example of watching something ironically but then you end up loving it
Factual, I read it out of curiosity expecting to hate it but it was actually an enjoyable read
FR i was watching it with my friend who is the biggest twilight enthusiast to hate on it but it was actually enjoyable and funny
Kinda like Sharkboy & Lavagirl. Bad movie but it’s a good enough watch
I'm so glad you addressed the ridiculous vehemence the male lead shows towards the witchy girl in Beastly. Had me looking around wondering where his level of grudge came from. Did she murder his family like wtf
Ms. Catherine Hardwicke did her thing with the first film. The ONLY Twilight movie directed by a WOMAN. Thank you.
apparently the director of the first twilight movie was really passionate about the project and tried to earnestly make a good movie, and i think that’s more obvious to people now. it’s just sad bc she was able to make it such a unique experience with a very specific aesthetic and it just got panned at the time because “media for teen girls bad and sparkly vampire bad = movie bad” :\ i’m not entirely sure but i don’t think she’s done much work since
Cartherine Hardwicke! my mom never let me talk shit abt twilight as a teen because she was friends with her back in the day haha
she directed red riding hood with amanda seyfried a few years later! aesthetically very similar to twilight tbh. but other than that i think you're right
@@iLoVeYoU3602 ohhh interesting!! I don’t think i ever saw that one but i read the book it was based on. might check it out 😊
She had a really hard time finding work after that movie because of the stigma attached to the genre, yet people like Micheal Bay are still thriving despite only ever creating trash.
female directors even when they have a huge hit struggle to find work which is infuriating
The Twilight sound track and cinematography is so good and fits the movie super well. Stylistically, you know a Twilight scene when you see one. But those other movie in the same genre just don't have the right feel! They just feel like cash grabbers
It's interesting because the success of the Twilight saga sort of inspired Hollywood to do The Hunger Games, which in itself spawned another new sub-genre "YA heroine in a post-apocalyptic world" - A few that come to mind are Divergent, The Host and The Fifth Wave.
it led Hollywood know that big budget movies starring teen girls were profittable
Divergent and The Host owe so much to Animorphs, and nobody's talking about it.
@@TheDanishGuyReviews ^ This comment ^
And the sub-genre was also short lived and died out after like 5-6 years.
And Maze Runner
"She chose the tall pale caucasian man!" Lmaoo honestly why Bella.
"That came from a place of hurt." was so funny.
I enjoyed Warm Bodies too, it really captured the vibe of the book too. Yeah it sucks that it seems like the YA book to movie adaptations have died off.
Lmaoo I honestly look back at these movies & feel like the twilight books/movies were all just lowkey wight supremacy softporn
@@o-wolf yeah, LOL. They kinda were. This was also during the "cool male British" wave with stuff like Doctor Who or Harry Potter. Then people started making fun of England again and it died out.
I remember being on a church bus trip to an amusement park and they put on Beastly and all the boys were so upset. Then by the end they were on to the edge of their seats because they NEEDED to know what happened and they all cheered when they kissed at the end lol
THAT is a story lmao I love that it was a church trip
"no chemistry just vibes" is the most exact description i've ever heard of twilight
how does he keep dropping classics at us like this?!?
It’s because he’s Nathaniel Zeddy
he's a king
is it bad that ive actually watched these "the death of" videos over and over multiple times lmao
I was in middle school at the height of Twilight fandom and I was OBSSESSED. Such a huge fan. Read all the books, watched the movies in theaters. At the time I was like “this is amazing!” Then when I got older I became really embarrassed by it and stopped claiming it. Recently, I’ve become proud again of how big a fan I was! It really was a cultural moment that’s hard to describe if you weren’t involved in it at the time.
Same here! Amanda the Jedi's Twilight videos helped me embrace the fact that I still love Twilight for what it is, even though there are so many legitimate reasons to criticize it. I find that I only truly enjoy the first book and movie though. Everything after is more of an ironic enjoyment at this point. Regardless, it was an important part of my early teens, and that will always matter to me.
My favorite genre of video is watching people realize that twilight isn’t actually that bad and we’ve all just been conditioned to hate anything directed toward teen girls. I was indeed a “I’m not like other girls” girl that pretended to hate twilight but saw the finale in theaters
I watched it, yea it's dogshit
beastly is one of my favourite bad movies. the main character is so funny, and the fact that his american accent is not even a little bit convincing makes me laugh any time he says anything. also YES, post transformation he isn't even that beast-looking, the alt community would be all over that man
i fucking died laughing when jay started listing off monsters
Warm bodies is also a Romeo and Juliet retelling and the soundtrack was a vibe! I forgot about that book/movie til now
I’ve grown accustomed to just instantly liking Nathan Zed and Noel Miller vids
*Noel looks into the camera for the first 30 seconds
He’s giving us a classic, a classic ladies and gentleman.
you know what isn’t a classic tho. Twilight
I love how Nathan spent 2 seconds talking about Warm Bodies, the decent movie, and like 10 minutes talking about the Twilight Saga 👏 Twilight is legit a vibe and a GREAT movie marathon series though
Damn not even 5 minutes and it's already a classic.
Also justice for Charlie Swan. A dad that's just trying his best. The goat
Team Charlie!!
Reading the twilight books and then going to the midnight premieres was literally so fun as a kid and I swear people hated so bad bc it was something innocent that teen girls could enjoy. And then you had the grown women who were getting tattoos of team Jacob or Edward and waaayyy too into it
I love that you're going for deep cut background music! Tears in the Rain is a bop and Kissland isnt talked about enough.
- there was this movie called "the fallen" where the love interest was an angel, i've never seen it but everyone said it was so bad, i only saw the dylan video and it looked pretty terrible lmao.
- everyone hated vampire academy, i liked it, idk why, nostalgia at this point, but i vibed hard lmao
- the mortal instrument is famously terrible, great source of meme
- i am number four really tried, back when alex pettyfer had his moment, but they only made one movie, so flop i guess. i genuinely can't remember it though so probably not great?
- omg i just remembered beautiful creatures as well, oh dear i hated that so much, but i can't say if it's because i dropped the books halfway through bc they were getting crazy, or because the movie was not good? like i cant remember if i liked the book an thought the movie was bad, or just didn't like the movie bc i didnt like the book? i have confused memories regarding that whole thing
thats all i can think of rn with the help of google, unearthing memories lmao
the i am number four movie did the books so dirty
As someone who read Fallen when it came out (I was like 11/12), I loved it but the book was legitimately interesting 😊 the movie was so cringe tho. Which is a shame because the sequel books were just as good 🤷♀️
Never listen to the critics: make your own mind up if you like something or not.
@@FreakyTeeth my favourite movies are all objectively bad, i don't care about critics at all, the only criteria is did i vibe or not lmao, who cares about what a random person has to say? yeah im gonna watch a dcom 20 times, what about it new york times?
I have been commenting multiple times on Kennie JD's (a bad movie reviewer) to finally watch the dumpster fire that is Fallen 2016
Edit: especially because she calls herself a "recovering twi-hard"
The trope of women/girls falling in love with a monster and “fixing them” is a deep seated psychological phenomenon that has its roots in archetypal reality and by extension our instinctual hardwiring. It is a variation of the female version of the hero’s journey.
I always liked in Twilight that she never needed to fix him he was actually doing fine until he smelled her lmao
@@athenajaxon2397 HAHAHAGAHA Hilarious
the way new teen shows like Euphoria would have strived in the tumblr era..
nice pfp
wait aren't u that dude off twitter
Let's talk about the tumblr era
euphoria will never be skins.
Two videos in one month? feels like Christmas
Fr
I liked Warm Bodies so much when we got it from RedBox that I wrote my mom a letter asking if we could keep it and telling her I'd pay for it. So she told me she bought the book and movie online and it was coming in the mail.
Long story short, if you like the movie, I'd recommend reading the book. I haven't read it since freshman year of high school, but I remember it being better.
I love these “the death of…” videos!! Thank you for making this one! I like what you said about Bella not being the typical "outcast new kid until she finds her own IT factor" girl. People usually do want to talk to new kids because they want to know what they are like. It was realistic. I like how even tho twilight was one of those "shy quiet girl falls in love with 100 year old hybrid animal-human-mAN" or something movies, it wasn't an abusive badboy-goodgirl thing. Edward wasn't the "hot popular guy" either. Sure their relationship was pretty toxic in the first two movies, but i feel like when Bella becomes a vampire, it gets better!
I owe Twilight an apology.
IT AT LEAST *LOOKED* DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER MOVIES OUT NOW.
I also have to applaud Beastly for being hilariously bad.
"Shrek is a big ugly green guy"
He is the most beautiful creature in all of creation and you know it
Warm Bodies was definitely the best one!!!
Most of these movies were also “hated” on so much is because they were directed to young girls - misogynistic people like to trash anything teen girls like. The box office sales are nothing to scoff at for the twilight franchise - middle-aged moms were also big into the books and movies!
Seeing the Beastly trailer in theaters might’ve been my first memory. Ever. Life’s been rough ever since
I'm so glad you found a format you like and are posting more often because of it! It's been great seeing you more frequently! I actually wished this video was longer I wanted to hear more about your thoughts on the final fight sequence fake-out lol
I wish he had a podcast. He could talk about literally anything
the fleabag transitions were the cherry on top of another nathan zed banger
UA-cam give this man the respect he deserves!! Nathan is the goat. Also I’m so happy to have 2 videos in one month!
Look... Twilight slapped. The movie is such a vibe that will never be recreated, it's absolutely iconic. People tried to copy it, but it could not be done.
genuinely cracked up out loud at multiple moments in this video. love how you gave your honest opinion and didn't just automatically discredit any of these movies for no real reason.
idk I hold a lot of nostalgia for the times when very little mattered and I could be attached to characters without it having to be a form of escapism. its the kind of genre you can afford to be invested in at a certain time in your life and I definitely miss it. I was more obsessed with the books than the movies though and its kind of upsetting to see how movie adaptations tended to never take themselves seriously, like teenage girls could be satisfied with mediocrity so they could do whatever they want - we know now how that worked out. I'm happy to see that changing somewhat with to all the boys i've loved before, for example.
new moon is lowkey a solid ass movie. the character development, the soundtrack, the cinematography >>>
'The Death Of' series is what got me into your channel. Glad too see one that I'm semi-early too
in king kong’s defense, falling in love with kong is realistic. i want to be his best friend
I spat out my drink at the “I ain’t gonna lie I’m getting cooked” I need your videos more often bro
Warm bodies is such a cute movie. I remember watching it in an empty theater with my sister. But the snow scene in Breaking Dawn pt. 2 has to make that movie the most iconic of this era.
The one thing that kept me invested in the Twilight movies is the action. I wasn't as concerned about the relationship issues, even when I was younger. But vampires and werewolves fighting? Oh heck yeah.
OMG so, these aren't movies, but Twilight inspired the HELL out of some TV shows, Vampire Diaries and True Blood being two shining examples! Honestly I think a much bigger era culturally, as a lasting effect of the twilight craze, was the supernatural dramas of the late 00's to early 10's. INCLUDING "SUPERNATURAL" which JUST ended a couple years ago!
i was roped into watching twilight for the first time by a friend recently and it's safe to say i did not enjoy it even a little bit, BUT i have to respect the impact. and it provided the love triangle fandom divide to end all others. tomas and leon from violetta tried, but they just couldn't beat this.
teen monster era also deeply permeated tv, creating two of my favorite tv shows of all time: teen wolf and the vampire diaries. i think supernatural teen dramas are actually Brilliant bc for non supernatural teen dramas, the only way to up the stakes is by introducing crime, betrayal/cheating, or other basically life-ruining plotlines that the characters will forget in a season. with supernatural shows, you can contrive plot/relationship drama by putting characters in these Very Specific Life Threatening scenarios, and i just find that so fun.
it’s camp. that’s what it is
I like the series of “Death of Teen _____ Era”
It really highlights how certain genres of literature affect pop culture.
Holy crap this entire genre is the greatest fantasy of women thinking they can "fix" a monster. It's genius.
Not women "think they can fix a monster" - women think they *need* to fix them, that (toxic) man's mental and emotional health is our responsibility. That's what we learned from movies like this.
@@rachelmoldavsky4264 lol
Babe wake up! Nathan dropped a classic🤧👑
Havent seen this yet but all im gonna say in anticipation is that Jenny Nicholson’s video on Beastly is one of my favourites on youtube 😌
"Who cares about a love triangle at a time like this"
This is my biggest gripe about the movies. In the Hunger Games books the whole time Katninss is like I don't have time for this shit, I'm just tryna stay alive. But of course they had to push the love triangle in the movies cause that sells tickets I guess
Honestly. Katniss' relatability and her want to just live was realistic and pretty great.
But yeah, after the Twilight/Hunger games era, I haven't been able to read a book or watch a movie with a love triangle plot since. It literally makes me roll my eyes because of how overused it is.
i remember watching the first twilight when it first came out and thought, “hey it kinda slaps???” never been too crazy about the sequels though. now i just marathon it for the lols bc i find it so fucking hilarious now
A few years ago I watched the entire twilight franchise with my friends (made a drinking game and drank Rainer for the last film) and it was honestly incredible. Those moves are camp
I love when he uploads omg 😩
I love coming to his new videos excited to hear the songs he uses in his backgrounds.
This guy KNOWS music
I cried laughing multiple times through this video 🤣 You're so entertaining and well spoken. I didn't want it to end 💜
Your content is top tier. Consistently! Somebody get this man an award
"no chemistry just vibes" this is my line now
Warm bodies is one of my favorite movies of all time and I don’t know why? maybe it just has the vibes, right soundtrack, or story, but it’s so great and memorable, I’m glad I’m not the only one who can sit down and enjoy it lol
I LITERALLY just made my little sister binge watch twilight cause she'd been clowning it for so long without seeing it - now she's obsessed. Twilight is a comedy I will argue this till I die. I feel so validated🥰
I really enjoyed The Originals. Most people would’ve thought it was your typical Vampire story with said love interest, but it was way more than that.
It highlighted something none of the series ever had, the complicated but powerful bond of Family.
Definitely my personal classic.
I’m so stoked when your videos drop
They had 17 year old Taylor Lautner in a lace front while on steroids and we all were obsessed 💀💀
Whoa god he was on steroids?
The memories of these movies man lol I actually never seen Beastly. I loved Warm Bodies, I thought it was cute and actually made sense to me. I will forever love Twilight no matter how cringe it is, its a vibe. I grew up being team Jacob because he was hot to me but now as an adult, both need help lol
the most entertaining thing to come out of the twilight franchise is the fact that taylor lautner is entirely caucasian
Thank you so much for doing a vid like this. That era was my entire life. And even now as a 21 year old i come back to these films. Glad to see some love for this 😭😭😍😍
2:02 this is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard
I could never get behind Twilight. I did watch all of the movies, but I wanted to take my eyeballs out of their sockets and scrub them with bleach every time I saw Edward and Bella kiss, every kissing scene was so awkward and cringey.
Warm Bodies tho, now that's a teen love monster movie classic. 10000/10, would recommend.
Love some of The Weeknds beats behind this vid (tears in the rain, out of time, is there someone else)
Love your editing!
thank you for new vid nathan
Thanks Nat for the statement "Twilight is not that bad." I loved those books/movies then and I love them now. ❤
This video had me dying because I recently decided to revisit Twilight, the books and movies and I still think they’re great. The haters honestly didn’t know what they missed out on.
Your videos are one of the few things that give me this much seratonin. We appreciate you Nathan fr
Teens just dont get good or iconic content anymore, instead they get whatever Netflix decided to do in this particular month.
Think I should mention the movie Spring here. An actually endearing monster romance story where, for once, the girl is the monster. I thought it was pretty good and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t typically care for romances.
I'm a big fan of these kinds of movies. Some recommendations: The Covenant: witch guys and human girls (Sebastian Stan in cast). The Host: girl with alien parasite in quadrangle with 2 guys, one in love with the parasite. Fallen: girl in love with an angel. Endless: a girl in love with the ghost of her boyfriend.
The Host, not to confused with The Host, a monster movie directed by Bong Joon Ho.
I have been binging the covenant as background noise for the last month because I have a fatass crush on Reid (the blonde one) because that's the only good thing i could take away from the movie
Nathan Zed’s becoming one of my favorite music/pop culture content creators. I know editing these aint easy. Yer killin it tho. Look forward to see your career continue to grow.
You did not. I was just going to sleep. Now i can’t cause i’m sure you dropped another classic.
Looking good consistency king.
teen monster movies were replaced with “teen with terminal illness” and “teens with severe mental health issues” movies lol
I remember a time when it felt like most teen movies had to feature at least one young person in a hospital bed by law
i swear to god hollywood can come up with the ugliest sounding "monster" character ever & they will cast the hottest actor to play them lmfao
i've been waiting for this...
nathan using weeknd songs in the background omgggg love!!!! a tasteful king!!!! BEST content creator fr
This actually isn’t new , not so fun fact: girls throughout history were told multiple different versions of beauty in the beast to prepare them to be sold off and married to an older man
Oh Nathan, if only you knew about the book community’s love of books about teenage girls falling in love with immortal faeries.
the thing about Nathan’s vids are his soundtrack is elite.
I'm so glad you included Warm Bodies, that's the actual best of this genre
you’ve must’ve written really good essays in college lmao. like these are literally video essays and i’m so impressed
Ok, but how are you gonna talk about vampire romance and not mention THE OG - Buffy the Vampire Slayer??? Seriously though, I would love to see your take on the show if you ever feel like watching 7 seasons of peak 90s-early 00s TV.
i am ashamed to be a former beastly fan but at least it introduced me to my favorite poem
fun fact in the beastly book the monster transformation was actually more intense, it made him super furry and basically like the beast from beasty and the beast. when I was a kid I was disappointed that the movie didn't do that, and I thought it was obviously so that they could still make him semi attractive so that teens would still want to watch the whole movie.
