It’s so nice to hear that Ryan isn’t really over-paranoid about being recognized in public, especially considering how we all definitely ARE out to get him.
He has an army of clones though...
I’d be more scared to see baby Ryan. He loves blood
Being out to get Ryan is tight.
I thought I saw him once but it was Michael Pickleseller
@@Bilbo51 I mean defeating clones will bring back the balance to the force. So at this point we kind have to get him
6:49 I can’t believe Ryan pulled off a seamless costume change in an instant! Truly a great actor.
Wait a sec...The screenwriter and the producer are the same person!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
that was truly next level CGI. I couldn't believe it
Super easy. Barely an inconvenience
petition to make a pitch meeting with just these costume changes instead of cuts
What? He was talking and then the write guy showed up out of nowhere. I didn’t see any costume changes
6:55 the face he makes after saying "you guys can fork yourselves" is perfect. Feels like he came up with that joke in the moment, realized it, and decided to leave it in lol
I never read Mantis as complicit in Ego’s deeds. I read her as a victim of abuse. She never had the power to stop Ego herself, and when the guardians show up, she sees a window of opportunity to stop him. But she fears Ego so she hesitates telling them. Eventually though, she builds the courage to do the right thing.
Exactly. Mantis tells them Ego abducted her as a small child and raised her on his planet because her powers are "useful". She is basically a slave to a godlike being. What is she supposed to do? I believe only her empathic powers showed her that killing those children was _wrong_ because they suffered; otherwise how was she supposed to know if Ego says it's okay? Ego is utterly amoral and a psychopath: He killed Peter's mother because she is "his"... but because he can't stay on Earth forever in his avatar body without losing his powers derived from regular contact with the rest of himself (the "planet") yet he can't bear the idea of her existing without him, he kills her in a cruel way, making it look natural. Ego allegorically _is_ cancer... his "seeds" he planted on various planets are swallowing all matter they come in contact with to transform it into more of Ego.
Other Celestials grow from a seed into a planet and consume lifeforce of the planet's inhabitants, until they burst out of the planet. Ego is an weird Celestial... his planet is just a head, but he build himself a human body out of the molecules he controls, he craves love relations with mortals, and he's trying to absorb more biomass and non-organic matter to grow and spread on multiple planets but he first has to transform that matter into himself via those pseudo-plants. Ego is more like a fungus. And from what he was saying in the movie, he seems to be unaware of the other Celestials existing. He presumably knows about Knowhere... but that Celestial is long dead. Ego doesn't create Eternals either... he made offspring instead.
I wonder if Marvel was implying Ego was created by the High Evolutionary? Speaking of the Eternals, I consider that movie non-canon. Otherwise you'd think the Eternals would want to stop Ego from eating the Earth considering at the time where was a budding Celestial inside that needed to feed on all the humans and other lifeforms Ego was trying to eat.
I always assumed Mantis, having known literally noone but Ego, was just groomed to see nothing wrong with mass infanticide, until she feels Drax's pain about his family, and finally has _one_ other parent to compare Ego to. And immediately she goes to herself "oh wow _that's_ what a dad is supposed to be? "
I mean mantis was also one of egos lovechild
@@tonuahmed4227 Why didn't her mom bite Ego's head off and eat it?
@@coreyennis9411cause he is a planet
I love how no one noticed Drax standing in the background the whole time
Where??? I don't see him???
Where??? I don't see him???
Wait what? Where?
Where? I thought I saw him but it wasn't him😮
@@yoinki4679 hes standing so still, hes invisible to the eye
"It took James Cameron 15 years to go, but what if water instead of tree?" had me literally laugh out loud! Always great work, Ryan! Thanks so much!
literally laughed out loud in an office... sitting next to people...
“Literally” is kind of redundant with “out loud”. ;)
What was that in reference too?
@@sonofvergil to Avatar
@@sonofvergil he was making a joke as to how the director of Avatar took so long to make a second Avatar movie because the first movie was focused a lot on trees and the second one was focused on water
Looking back at these older ones, I think it's noticeable how your voice work improved over the years. Your scripts were always great, but the specific intonation you use nowadays just seems to bring everything together! Yours quickly became one of my favorite channels on youtube, keep it up!
I have noticed that too and really enjoy seeing the progression.
Yah I started watching back in the old days but now I can’t watch the old videos just because of how much better the voice work and characterization is now.
Agreed! When I watch old ones I watch them on 1.25 speed so it feels more fast paced and punchy like the new ones
Just mentioned the same thing. . . ;)
I feel like the biggest fix Ryan made was to make sure to deliver all of his lines while grinning widely.
The more I watch Ryan, the more i realize how people could believe Superman and Clark Kent are different people.
When those glasses went on it was like Screenwriter guy was RIGHT THERE
I feel the same way about Keye and Peele. Just add a little facial hair, different hairdo, or some glasses and they are legitimately different people.
It's crazy to me how a couple minor changes can make the same person go from looking like a lunatic to a heartthrob. Almost makes me want to put more effort into my outfits. Almost.
please don't forget about the "heyshutup" bit, that's one of my favorites of your newer bits in the pitch meetings and it always makes me squeal and clap my hands like a small child when i hear it 💖
That would’ve been the appropriate rewritten response to the drone Rewrite done during the Pitch Meeting commentary in this video which I just watched.
When it's not used in too many videos
I hate it. It makes me cringe every time. Hopefully it never comes back.
I don't like it either. I'd prefer the "get all the way off my back" response to that, which was brilliant.
“Hey shut up” is so simple and yet far and away one of my favorites.
Just like “i dont care, i dont care”
To be fair to Mantis, how could she stop a homicidal sentient planet and live to tell the tale?
Also, Ego gets beaten quite a bit in the comics. For the non-cosmic characters (and for some of the cosmic ones too like the Silver Surfer), he's got enough vulnerable internal bits that assuming someone can get beneath the planetary surface and survive the critters that act as his antibodies/internal defenses they can hit him somewhere that hurts enough to put him out of commission...for a while. He doesn't really stay dead without extraordinary measures (Marvel Zombies using the power of Galactus, for example).
@@DrakeBarrow Meanwhile Mogo has the Green Light of Willpower protecting him, as well as being able to manipulate his weather, gravity atmosphere and soil but a strong enough burst of energy inside him could permanently kill him. Also he apparently killed an entire army once.
@@mattwo7 now that's a name I haven't thought about in a while. I can believe the army thing, a good enough Corpsman is a match for a small army with just the ring itself. Being a literal planet can do nothing but help.
Seriously though. But it's part of the emotional depth of her character, she participated in committing atrocities for decades but was powerless to stop it
Also, Ego raised her. And he's her dad so she just does as she is told. I guess until she met people who could fight him.
The “all the way off my back” line is one of my favorites when it is able to get worked in, would definitely be a fan of that “old bit” getting used more lol
It’s a trip to watch how much more comfortable you’ve gotten on camera, bro. These were great back in the day, but you’ve come a long way. Well done
Alright, so my takeaway from this was that everyone going up to Ryan on the street should immediately say "no, you don't know me from elementary school", and save him that little bit of stress.
That's exactly what crossed my mind as well. lol
Might as well print it on a t-shirt so that it’s already clear from a distance.
also, never mention pigeons
Also, say that he is not bleeding from his face (unless he is, in which case let him know, he may have been using mind powers)
Or say "Hi, remember me from elementary school?" Just to throw him off.
Damn. It’s impressive how quickly you got into character without any warmup. It’s like you’re wearing their skin.
Hello. Clarice.
First guy to wear someone else's skin skit incoming!
Wearing someone else's skin is tight! Oh wait what!?
Feeling their innermost wants and desires.. it's how you get off.
@@SmoothOperaturr Can I get off with you?
Adam Savage talked about how people recognize (recognise) him in public. He tried to always remember that people feel like they know him but he doesn't know them from a can of beans (paraphrased). So he always acted like them knowing him was perfectly normal and was very friendly as much as is practical/safe. Adam Savage has a lot of wisdom to pass on. I like his channel.
What are your favorite youtube channels?
I read "paraphrased" as "parasocial" at first, hahahaha, how appropriate
Aww that’s awesome I loved watching Adam savage on mythbusters and it makes me happy to know he’s nice to his fans
Apparently, Billy Connolly, the comedian, was a real jerk when people saw him in public. If someone asked if he was Billy Connolly, he'd throw a massive tantrum.
I always thought Mantis was innocent. She clearly tries to stop him the first chance she gets. Before that, she was pretty much a captive.
It's kinda hard to go against the master you're serving when he's the only other person on the planet. And also the planet.
I admire the fact that he doesn't laugh at the jokes he makes even when he's not in character
stand up comedy 101, jokes are serious
Nice profile pic
I can’t tickle myself with my own touch, and I don’t laugh at my own jokes as I make them.
I'm one of those weird people that laughs at my own jokes. I actually think what I said was funny. I don't know.
@@roninnder That doesn't seem right - all dads laugh at their own dad jokes. :)
6:47 Ryan does a great Scriptwriter Guy impression. It must be all of those years he's spent working with Mr. George on these Pitch Meetings.
Ya gotta love Ryan’s attention to completing the revisit to this amazing trilogy!
I really did laugh out loud at the “I’m not going to spoon feed you, you guys are fork level, you can fork yourself” joke
6:40 The way he can just seamlessly switch between characters proves how versatile Ryan really is as an actor.
When Ryan first introduced the idea of doing commentary on these videos, I didn’t think it would be as engaging as the pitch meeting itself, but I was really wrong. Every second of his commentary and Q&A captivates me.
Its very interesting to see how Ryan used to be quite calm, compared to current times when he is filled with a trillion tonnes of manic energy. Now that's a character arc (going from amazing to amazing).
yeah both the characters have been flanderized a bit but in this case it totally works.
If you haven't seen it, "honest trailers" made an honest trailer about pitch meetings, and they specifically point out that transformation.
@@harzemyalcinkaya I didn't know that was a thing and yet somehow I'm very far from surprised. Thank you I will watch that!
There's a lot of cocaine in showbiz.
It was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Damn! This "Revisited" episode was the best! I can't believe Ryan actually got Producer Guy and Writer Guy to guest star in this one!
The fact he can put on his glasses and say a line and we already buy that it’s now another character is amazing
I love how you can tell the age of a Pitch Meeting by Ryan's voices
Being able to tell his age is tight!
His voice has progressively gotten lower through the years. Soon he'll have that Vin Diesel growly voice
Also he was a bit thinner before the pandemic
@@VinceValentine we all were lol
@@johnnyinstereo Sad truth
The most underrated line you did that can be brought back was the one you used in the Wonder Woman II pitch meeting: “Who’s to say?” “You are!” “Yeeeah”
I like when Ryan George says "Wow, Wow, Wow" and crinkles his eyes so that they look like upside down smiles.
Kinda want you to bring back the "I'm a writer" line. It really had me dying in your twilight pitch meetings. 😂
Seeing ryan become producer guy and screenwriter guy on screen was honestly uncanny (but also hilarious)
What do you mean Ryan just shoots a bunch of pitch meetings producer guy and screenwriter guy are TWO different ppl
It was like Superman and Clark Kent for a minute there.
@@ajprice ikr
@@thefirestaffboy oh yeah silly me
As an owner of several praying mantises, you're absolutely right; something's not right about them. My big dead leaf tries to eat me half the time I reach into her enclosure 😂😬
she's horny. they kill their mates
I just don’t wanna see superman dance
One bit my toe in NZ and it hurts
In "The Complex Feels of Guardians of the Galaxy v.2" Lindsay Ellis made a very strong case that the entire point of Guardians 2 is the struggle the characters have with questions of toxic family members and when to forgive and when to cut them off (Yondu/Nebula versus ego), and how to manage the psychological consequences of such upbringing. Mantis has cripplingly self esteem, Rocket pushes everyone away before they can hurt him, Quill has crippling narcissism that make him barely able to communicate with the people he cares about, like Gamora, as shown when she snapped at him about his pop culture reference that she has no way to understand.
Ego doesn't admit to killing Peter's mom because he's Mr Exposition, he does it because he is so terminally narcissistic that he can't see it as a bad thing tha the did, just a sad thing that had to happen.
She explains it a lot better than I can, it's a great video and it made me appreciate the movie a lot more.
"Ego doesn't admit to killing Peter's mom because he's Mr Exposition, he does it because he is so terminally narcissistic that he can't see it as a bad thing tha the did, just a sad thing that had to happen."
This. Ego is a narcissist and a psychopath, utterly amoral... he tells Peter what he did because he genuinely thinks Peter will understand. To Ego, other creatures are either useful/amusing or not. They are tools. When he said he "loved" Peter's mom, he loved that in his mind she _belonged_ to him. He openly states he couldn't bear the thought of her living her life out there without him when he had to return to his planet-body to recharge. So he killed her, in a cruel way, planting the cancer into her like he planted his weird "seeds" (those plant-fungus things) into the soil of various planets, infecting them. Ego allegorically _is_ cancer. He consumes matter and turns it into more like him.
The Baby Groot "commercial" is one of my favourite opening sequences of any movie. So well done!
1:50 "he's a Celestial being named Exposition" makes me cackle every time
The way you say "wow wow wow...wow" differently each time is a work of art. I think in the Mario movie pitch meeting you said it all very satisfied and with no pause and it was like a full emotional payoff for me.
that one with the owen wilson weohw
@@alveolatebest one
Or the John wick one where he says pow haha
0:50
Something about the pacing of this particular "Because." "That works." is especially funny.
Let's not forget my favorite Ryan George joke, the "oh its this way i decided"
Ryan: *being Producer Guy and Screenwriter Guy in the same scene*
Me: Clark Kent is Superman?!
A Revisited Video is TIGHT!
My god Ryan is so funny. And I'm someone who almost NEVER laughs out loud while watching a video. I'm so glad I found this chanel, every time he posts I know it's gonna be a good day
Really enjoying the reuploads of these Pitch Meetings. I've seen a number of them, but the extra behind the scenes + Q/A is a great addition 😁 👍
Drawing a mantis is not super easy, nor is it an inconvenience. Great job
"so is it gonna be easy to draw a praying mantis in under 3 minutes?"
"actually it's going to be fairly difficult, a bit of an inconvenience."
I think you meant "not super easy, and an inconvenience"
Or maybe "nor is it convenient."
3:14 Ryan saying "actually super easy, barely an inconvenience" always puts a smile on my face
Enjoying every piece of content Ryan creates is tight!
barley*
It is a stable of these skits, and not including them is blasphemy and I won't stand for it.
Bros job is to comment
So putting a smile on your face is actually super easy, barely an inconvenience
6:56 is one of the reasons to just love his comedy 😂
The Spoon/fork joke @06:55 was unexpectantly hilarious
That moment where Screenwriter Guy just appears out of nowhere was truly some masterful stuff.
Skipping work just to watch some old pitch meeting is TIGHT!
Recycling old content is genius, because this really is a ton of new content. The way you're doing this is perfect! @Pitch Meeting
I really enjoy these revisited pitch meetings. It's so fun hearing Ryan's thoughts about past episodes he's done 😊
I have a question!!
Are there any movies or directors who’s films you wouldn’t ever do a pitch meeting for just because you don’t want to mess with a masterpiece?
He's kind of answered a version of this question already. He finds doing pitch meetings for very good movies difficult because there's little to poke fun at.
@@PacMonster0 yea I know. Which is why I was curious if there are any specific ones that come to mind for him
from what I remember, How To Train Your Dragon is one of them.
I absolutely love how many lessons your draw out of your older work (i assume mostly just by yourself.
Being able to be critical of your own work without it turning toxic is a very important and difficult ability :)
Hey Ryan! Ever since I discovered the Pitch Meeting (my first was Godzilla vs Kong) I've seen every video not about a movie I still haven't seen and want to (sometimes I watch a movie just to see the Pitch Meeting later!) and from your channel. Now, for questions: Is that a Cosmo the Spacedog tattoo on your arm? Who chose the name of your cat? Did you propose to your fiancée by saying "Don't you dare close your eyes"? To finish: PLEASE, FOR ALL THAT MATTERS TO YOU, DO A BATTLEFIELD EARTH PITCH MEETING - It was the recordist of the Raspberrys for a long time and so full of crazyness. Love your drawings, keep improving them!
Thank you for the hours and hours of entertainment. It was super easy, barely an inconvenience to watch the whole series at least twice. Keep up the great work.
Ryan’s the type of guy to have a lightbulb go off above his head whenever he gets an idea.
Watching these amazing videos is super easy barely an inconvenience
👏 👏 👏
Oh really?!
Watching videos that are super easy, barely an inconvenience is tight!
Ryan George is TIGHT
being tight is tight
These recap videos are more entertaining than you'd think. It is fascinating learning the insights.
6:50 I just experienced an authentic "spit take"while having my morning coffee 🤣.
Thank you Ryan ❤
My favorite thing about life is how people just randomly turned on Neil Degrasse Tyson seemingly for no inciting reason just because they finally realized he was insufferable.
Maybe it was when he tweeted something insensitive about mass shooting statistics immediately after a mass shooting.
@@vijayanand6650 oh I didn't even know about that. Lol, what an ass
Possibly it was his obsession with kissing his reflection on the lips
He was doing a lot of fabrication of reality in his paid lecture tour. Razorfist has clips.
Ryan has become a foundation of enjoying pop culture for me. If there is a new movie/show, whether it's a really good or really bad one, I just look forward to Ryan's take on it more. He needs to start getting invited to be part of conventions so he can eventually be invited to one in Australia and I can meet this fabulous human being :)
P.S your skits that play on movie cliches are comedy gold, like the coffee side quest. If you could somehow get a list of cliches to somehow incorporate, I think that'd be a fun little addition as you encounter them in your pitch meetings :)
"Yeah yeah yeah!" is definitely my favorite Pitch Meeting thing you do! Glad you'll be bringing it back!
Hey Ryan since I’ll probably never meet u on the street I want you to know that I watch movies because of you constantly, a movie I would never watch on my own I’ll see u release a meeting and go out of my way to sit through a multi hour movie just to watch your video in its fullest. Keep up the awesome work
if i got the chance to see ryan in real life i would be more hyped than meeting any other actor
I liked the spoon feeding. Not just because it's kinky, but I love jokes being driven into the ground.
I enjoy watching these kinds of videos from you. Thanks for continuing to make them
Did I just watch the GOTG2 episode yesterday during my pitch meeting binge? Yes I did. Am I still watching this through to get to Ryan’s commentary? Fuck yes.
These little retrospectives really highlight how your voice acting and line delivery has improved over the years. Also, cute mantis.
I remember watching the original Pitch Meeting after getting home from the cinema, and I thought the exact same thing about the remote controlled armies
06:02 for me, the 'tight' joke from your Dark Knight Rises video (Manholes are TIGHT!) remains my favourite! That whole video is actually one of my favourites, how you calculated how many cops went to the sewers! But I enjoy all of these, keep m coming!
I really like the characters you draw during these revisits. Do you ever imagine that they're actually controlling you, like Raccacoonie in the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once?
I hope he’d cover the cooler, wackier stuff. Like EEAAO, and Peacemaker.
@@theperson8539 I am trying to imagine the pitch meeting for EEAAO and yeah that one would be wild.
@@allegate387 Difficult to insult it though, it’s genuinely self-aware and brilliant. I think it could work, but Ryan would need to change up the formula a little.
As someone with a paralizing phobia of mantisses... Yes, they're up to something.
I would love to see a series of pitch meetings for classics like Taxi Driver, The Silence of the Lambs, 48 Hours, etc.
Silence of the Lambs is too flawless to make fun of in a pitch meeting
Seconded!
awnsering to get this comment shown to more people
Does it even work like that?
Shawshank redemption and the Godfather movies would be difficult, but worthwhile pitch meetings
I really like the writing points you debate/review at the end of these clips. Thanks
I love the fact that you film your pitch videos and to your right there is this ominous photo of a bridge going into a Forest of Death.
GotG2's pitch meeting was still really good, but it's cool to see you growing as a writer by finding things you would do differently now
It’s nice the revisits when the sequels come out
"Yeah yeah yeah!" is my favorite, psyched to see it come back!
I LOVED the twilight one when he just stopped and sighed, ‘what are we doing here?’ Looolll
I prefer jokes about proper plot holes (which is 99.9% of the content anyway) more than the sort of ‘misunderstanding’ dialogue between your two characters. Amazing work tho, v excited every time you post a new one
My girlfriend will quote "Super easy; barely an inconvenience," but then she will also say "oh really?" Can you please tell her how weird it is that one person perform both parts?
I think she’ll need you to get aaall the way off her back about that.
Watching revisited episodes of pitch meeting is tight
I think my favorite recurring bit of yours is when the scriptwriter says "heyshutup" and then quickly moves on to his next point.
I'm mostly amazed that this pitch meeting format works so well, that it doesn't feel to get too old or repetitive and it's still super easy, barely an inconvenience to watch them.
Another excellent video. I think that more creative use of the greenscreen during these retrospectives could be a lot of fun, that 30 seconds you had here was excellent. And thank you for recognizing that we have moved from spoon fed to fork fed audience members. Go ahead and keep forking us, we like it.
Nice to revisit these awesome pitches.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do some more “yeah yeah yeahs”! And your delivery and timing on the “whoops, whoopsies” never fails to kill me. Perfect.
Keep on rocking’, RG.
"They are vicious creatures" The way he looked down got me hoeling😂😂😂
Hey Ryan, I have an amazing question here. Do you enjoy making videos for your personal channel more than pitch meetings? Love all of your work on Pitch Meetings and your own channel.
God, I love this behind the scenes stuff. And he makes it look super easy...........barely an inconvenience
Always love watching your vids man. Keep on keeping on!
1. I still love it
2. Just keep doing what you're doing. It's what makes it work
Ryan never fails with his videos!
Keep up the good work!!
How have you not done a Pitch Meeting for Princess Bride yet?!?
❤❤❤ Princess Bride! That would be awesome! 😂
Princess Bride is one of the most perfect movies ever made. I don't even know what he would do except gush about it.
I am watching for Ryan George every time I go to work, at the airport.
Boooyy ho boyyy, the delivery on these older pitch meeting. You've grown and evolved so much over the years !
I'm impressed with your drawing skills! That mantis was good! Also, you should do Pitch Meetings for the National Treasure movies! And/or the show 🙂
Since you speck French have you ever considered doing a pitch meeting in French (with subtitles) for a French or French Canadian movie? Also, since you are from Quebec, are you watching movies in theatre with French subtitle or not?
The characters of pitch meetings have progressed very nicely. You're very funny keep it up
Ryan your Coraline pitch is one of my favorites. Would be TIGHT if you revisited that video. Thanks for all you do for us!
Please do a Daredevil or Bojack pitch meeting
Intro so funny lol
I do miss some of thez bits like buying canada, I hope most of them will continue/ return because the randomness of them makes these video's amazing!
I have always loved uyour work and I hope that in 10 years you'll have at least 5X the amount of video's for me to binge when I am bored or need to cheer up, they have always helped me with that
6:59 that caught me off guard 😂😂
