My favourite part of the movie is when Russell is telling everyone that the aliens abducted him years ago and everyone's response to this is to roll their eyes at the crazy old man. While preparing to go fight aliens.
Just like every episode of the X-Files where Scully scoffs at Mulder's supernatural theories despite the previous week seeing aliens with her own eyes right after the two of them had just finished fighting a werewolf.
A lot of jokes at the expense of the alien. Basically, "I'm pissed that you killed my best friend, so I'm gonna mock and ridicule you while I also repeatedly kick you (in another scene)." Catharsis.
i remembered back in the 90s in the theatre when jeff goldblum wanted to upload virus to the alien computer, a guy who sat behind me said "wow they used Windows like us"
It was nice of the aliens to attack during America’s Independence Day, otherwise the President wouldn’t have been able to give that motivating speech that united the world into watching Americans destroy the aliens.
maybe they missed an opportunity here. Rememeber Fragglerock? It had intentional regional differences to be more marketable in various countries if I got it right. Would it not be cool if there where different versions of ID4 around? The one we have but plus a Cool Britannia version where the king saves the world, a french version where they attack on bastille day, chinese version and so on?
@ Phreak Azoith There was an SNL about the modern day knights having to defend England against a dragon. So the British Independence Day movie can have Sir Elton John, Sir Patrick Stewart, and Sir Mix-a-lot fighting the aliens.
I know you want the joke, but many still wear that today in Egypt, in India they have been wearing the same type of clothing for thousands of years. The head dress is still worm today all over. Mostly the poor people wear them but that's like 90% of the people those countries.

That is the wrong question. The real question is, how the hell did they connect when the best we had was 802.11 WiFi released the year after the invasion?!?! Seriously, how was an earth computer connecting to the alien computer, did someone rig up a universal translator? Could a human made computer virus 1996 effect an alien OS of a super advanced computer design using technology we haven't even fathomed yet??

Cannot get enough. Wish there were a million to watch. The way you have now really nailed the 2 characters you portray is fantastic. Feed me more! :)
I’m surprised they didn’t talk about all the people celebrating the aliens being defeated at the end: “And everyone all over the world is celebrating!” “How do we show that?” “Well, we’ll see French people in Paris. Chinese people at the Great Wall. English people in front of Big Ben.” “What about people in Africa?” “They’ll be dancing in grass skirts and shaking their spears!” “Is that how all people in Africa act?” “I assume so.”
Why? Why the Hell would you put something so awesome in my head and not give me an actual visual to go along with it? What is wrong with you?! You're more of a tease than my high school girlfriend.
How were the aliens computer technology be able to get infected by a human invented computer virus? Such a complex system shouldn't be compatible with earth computers, right? Yeah... I'm gonna need you to get WAY off my back about this... Fair enough...
If Americans don't know there are other countries, why do they also spend so much time bragging about all the other countries they have beaten in various wars, and why do they spend trillions of dollars on military equipment? Do Americans think Nazis and Soviets were just rebellious Americans? Vietnam is a state? Not knowing much _about_ other countries isn't the same as not knowing that other countries exist. Most Americans don't even know that much about America. Although I'm not convinced the average person in the rest of the world is a geography expert and can give you detailed summaries of the history of any European nation and the main exports of African nations ranked by trade volume. Europeans tend to know a bit more about other European nations because they are, you know, all right beside each other and freely travel among themselves, and take up an area less than half the size of the continental US, and only know the US by the negative stereotypes they gave heard and what they have learned from watching Hollywood films. Since Hollywood makes most of the major films which are consumed worldwide.
i love that you waited to post this on July 4th...i love all of your content and i drive my wife crazy watching your videos over and over again. she keeps saying "i wish he would do a labyrinth video or dark crystal or the goonies"....we are old lol
The funny thing is that the abduction is included in the comic adaptation and that event is the one that starts the downward spiral of his life as before that he was a quite accomplished and well-regarded pilot. Afterward, everyone just saw him as crazy for Coco-pops. Him saying "I'm back" is the catharsis of his entire life. I'm so glad that I read the comic before I saw the movie as I would have been so confused otherwise.
I feel like you didn't need a comic to get that. ID4 wasn't a subtle movie or well-developed by any means, but they did pretty clearly establish that he was a wreck and that a likely cause (in whole or in a large part) was his abduction.
US: Now, to bring down each ship you need to fly directly into the superlaser at the precise moment it starts to fire. Every other country: That's super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Thing is though, most of the characters DO have character development, it's just not emphasized outside of Russel Case. Is the development Oscar-worthy or super-ultra-amazing? No, but it is still there.
Watching this at the midnight showing on July 3rd/4th was the most fun I've ever had watching a movie in the theater. The entire audience was cheering and clapping by the end.
It was my first big blow em up movie I saw in a theatre as a young man. When the city I was in got specifically mentioned as being destroyed by the aliens a huge happy cheer went up in the theatre. We were just happy to be mentioned. 😂🎉 Best moment I've ever had in a movie.
@@justinkennedy3004 that's awesome :) times were different then. Now I don't ever go to the theater, I'd rather just watch on my nice big tv at home without dealing with other people lmao. I'm old /sigh
Yup. I went July 4 also. Looked forward to it for a couple months because all the marketing said it would be released July 4. Movies used to be so fun.
(Finally) making a pitch meeting of Independence Day is TIGHT. But given how long it took to make it I have to assume that it wasn’t super easy, barley an inconvenience.
"Wait, so if Pre-1996 computers were capable of sentience and summoning hamburgers why haven't we utilized and explored that technology further?" "I don't know." "Fair enough."

@@caelen8053 Actually, the computer's software is American and the hardware is from China. The producer is from LA and the Screenwriter is from Montreal. And Ryan is from Canada. He tells Producer Guy and Screenwriter Guy what to say. Just Canada in general. Ya know. Because.
All funny Canadians immediately become property of the U.S. As we have done with Dan Akroyd, John Candy, Jim Carrey, Tommy Chong, Phil Hartman, Norm MacDonald, Mike Meyers, and many others. You will all be assimilated.
That speech was more like a parody of a pre-battle speech than a sincere effort. Also, strikingly tone-deaf considering the movie was marketed to a global audience.
@@NDTexan Considering that everything I said was a statement of opinion rather than fact, I am unsure how you can be so certain whether it was correct. Can you elaborate on what I got wrong?
There was literally nothing parody about that speech in the greater context of the movie. Nor was it a non global motivational speech. Wasn't American centric at all. The entire point of the speech was about the Fourth of July no longer being an American holiday and mankind as a whole. Not entirely sure what was tone deaf about it. So yeah I don't care if it's your opinion I think it's wrong. You're the one that chimed in on my comment making your claims that came off as absolute statements rather than opinions. Or would you prefer I said incredibly off base?
I learned a *very* long time ago that while watching Pitch Meetings it's not wise to be eating or drinking anything you don't want spewed all over your keyboard :).
That was wonderful! Also, was that the first cover you’ve ever done without blowing up the eyes?!?!?! 🤯 (but what you did here was better... so... I still count it as a win)
“The aliens are going to blow up American landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the White House and the Capitol building.” “What about the Pentagon?” “I have a strange feeling that showing that would seem like a bad idea in a few years.”
"So we're only going to use the Air Force to counter attack? No long range surface to air support from the Navy or ground based forces? At least to test their defenses first?" "No, wasting highly trained pilots against a superior aerial presence is tight!"
"And then they get let right in and get parked by an alien." " The alien mothership has valet?" "That's what we're going with." "So what do they do then?" "They basically nuke the valet and run."
Writers: ... because every computer can talk to every other computer and they're magic Producer: That's strange. I can't load files from my PC on my mac. Writer: if we use an ibook to upload the virus, Apple will pay us a lot of money Producer: That's just how computers work.
The 90's, when having one of your heros suicide attack your enemies with a airplane was still an acceptable thing to put in your summer blockbuster.... Good times
Just a pointer, Will Smith flew to what remained of his air base, which is where he told his wife to head to before he left. So he didn't just 'find her' in the middle of ruined L.A lol
This is what I came to the comments to point out. He found her because he told her to go to El Toro, and then he heard it had been destroyed so he went to look for her.
Oh my, the personality interactions with the Producer and Writer guys makes me giggle. So well done. This entire video series has definitely made me rewatch movies in a whole different way!!!
"And near the end we're going to show various cities around the world which have been saved by America." "How will you know which cities they are?" "By the landmarks." "Wait, didn't you say the aliens blew up all the landmarks?" "Oh, whoops!" "Whoopsie!"
You can kind of tell how good a movie is based on these. Even after a pitch meeting its like "that sounds like a lot of fun".... it is, it was. Shows how id4 was the perfect summer blockbuster
Not gonna lie, as an American, when we play a WW2 board game, I do the real life America tactic. Sit around, and wait for Europe to destroy each other, then get involved when we’re attack. Except I never got involved even after they recreated Pearl Harbor, they attacked me once for control of the see, then went back to killing each other while I just built up my army. By the time they realized “WAIT, AMERICAS NOT DVEN LOST GROUND TROOPS!” It was too late. I already had control of Canada, North America, South America, and even Mexico, even the countries under America were now part of America. By default I won the game with only suffering the loss of one ship. Meanwhile, Europe is filled with bodies. That’s the art of war.
@Thor Odinson I predict we will get over 1 million deaths before all is said and done. I'm pretty sure people are re-acquiring the disease. There is no proof of this yet, but keep in mind that Corona viruses like the common cold only give temporary immunity, not permanent immunity, and Covid is also a coronavirus. As for a vaccine, well, we haven't even cured the common cold yet, so I don't have high hopes for that. I predict this will stick around a decade or more, and over the course of a decade most likely will kill 1 million Americans.

Haven’t seen you in a while how r u doin? Watching less YT nowadays?
@@Dargonhuman The casting in these videos is tremendous! It goes to show you how deep the art of movie-making goes!
Oh hi again
This was a missed opportunity for "Oh, anal probes are TIGHT!"
I dont know what to say.. I found these vids yesterday, and am binging them like a mad man. It is genius. Nothing short of that.
If a team writes them, excellent, if its just Ryan, its staggering.
Cannot get enough. Wish there were a million to watch.
The way you have now really nailed the 2 characters you portray is fantastic.
Feed me more! :)
I’m surprised they didn’t talk about all the people celebrating the aliens being defeated at the end:
“And everyone all over the world is celebrating!”
“How do we show that?”
“Well, we’ll see French people in Paris. Chinese people at the Great Wall. English people in front of Big Ben.”
“What about people in Africa?”
“They’ll be dancing in grass skirts and shaking their spears!”
“Is that how all people in Africa act?”
“I assume so.”
Yeah but.... AMERICA
Indian people at the Taj Mahal. Wait.... was that the Mars Attack? 🤔
No but Africa is a contenient so it's the closest we can get to ever countries culture .
Fair enough
-Isn't that racist?
-Whoops
-Whoopsie!
(I don't even remember that scene. Gotta look that up)
Edit: it's real.
Well... But... America!?
"I was surprised actually that there are other countries" -every american movie always
Yeah, but they, you know, don't really count...
They exist but they're just not as interesting
The whole earth is pretty much USA 🇺🇸 ENGLAND 🏴 and ChiCom 🇨🇳 and that’s it ,,,
@@anichka101 there is no such a thing as a boring country, just boring stories
We don't care
Writer guy: "Dogfight"
Producer guy: "So what are the dogs fighting?"
🤦🏻♂️😂😂
I have heard it 20 times now. I will never not love "barely an inconvenience". This man's optimism is infectious.
Not so much optimism as obliviousness. He doesn't care about consistency, realism or plot holes.
Celebrating July 4th even though I’m not American is tight
Nice lol
Awesome Person as an american i like to see it
Where are you from?
Fireworks
Won't it be difficult though, if you're not an American?
Will Smith: "Now this is pod racing!"
lolz
Why? Why the Hell would you put something so awesome in my head and not give me an actual visual to go along with it? What is wrong with you?! You're more of a tease than my high school girlfriend.
Wow wow wow wow
I didn’t expect to have such a strong emotional attachment to Mr. Background Computer
This series is the best thing ever! lmao
Barely an inconvenience!
yeah and its super easy. Pitch Meetings are tight
Very exciting!
,
Definitely, the best ever
That works for me.
Aliens be like: Attacking the US is TIGHT
It must be difficult to defend Earth against aliens?
Actually, it's gonna be super easy barely an inconvenience
How were the aliens computer technology be able to get infected by a human invented computer virus? Such a complex system shouldn't be compatible with earth computers, right?
Yeah... I'm gonna need you to get WAY off my back about this...
Fair enough...
@@Menaceblue3 Also how they transferred the virus? Wifi? Bluetooth? How?
It was super easy; barely an inconvenience.
@@Jose04537 No, it was a direct connection. Remember how the aliens in the control tower were able to open up their ship's blinds when they docked?
"Fire can't go through doorways?" LOL! That scene always bothered me as a teen, back then.
I always figured she closed the door a split second after the cut.
"Millions of people died"
"But America!"
That got me good
Why?
@@mr.battle20 u want the short answer or the really annoying deep one?
"So you DO have character development!" "Yeah I guess I do!" Best line ever.
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to expand the Ryan universe here. The computer should have asked if he wanted a pretty big pickle in a bun.
Obviously this Ryan is gay
@@exodustimes4266 sorry wut
He's saying that a Ryan who would want a big pickle in a bun might just be gay?
@@exodustimes4266 comments are the toilet of the soul
There's probably a copyright issue.
SR: Can we make something on independence day?
Ryan: Yes, super easy barely and inconvenience..
What should we call it?
Aww look at proud screen writer guy at 6:09!! He's so proud he accidentally put character development
“I was actually surprised in my research that, there are other countries”
-Every American in an action movie
Most Americans........
If Americans don't know there are other countries, why do they also spend so much time bragging about all the other countries they have beaten in various wars, and why do they spend trillions of dollars on military equipment? Do Americans think Nazis and Soviets were just rebellious Americans? Vietnam is a state? Not knowing much _about_ other countries isn't the same as not knowing that other countries exist. Most Americans don't even know that much about America. Although I'm not convinced the average person in the rest of the world is a geography expert and can give you detailed summaries of the history of any European nation and the main exports of African nations ranked by trade volume. Europeans tend to know a bit more about other European nations because they are, you know, all right beside each other and freely travel among themselves, and take up an area less than half the size of the continental US, and only know the US by the negative stereotypes they gave heard and what they have learned from watching Hollywood films. Since Hollywood makes most of the major films which are consumed worldwide.
American jingoism is no laughing matter
I guess this might make Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy canonically American?
i love that you waited to post this on July 4th...i love all of your content and i drive my wife crazy watching your videos over and over again. she keeps saying "i wish he would do a labyrinth video or dark crystal or the goonies"....we are old lol
Old people are tight!
Seconding these requests
I also support your wife's requests 👍
@@dangerousfreedom1960 Ryan voice and slightly disgusted smile face "Eeuww"
I love how he clarified that the only character development was aliens probing a guys butt.
LOL
The funny thing is that the abduction is included in the comic adaptation and that event is the one that starts the downward spiral of his life as before that he was a quite accomplished and well-regarded pilot. Afterward, everyone just saw him as crazy for Coco-pops. Him saying "I'm back" is the catharsis of his entire life. I'm so glad that I read the comic before I saw the movie as I would have been so confused otherwise.
@@nielsjensen4185 this film is something like twenty years old and I never knew there was a comic expansion of the story!
@italkcrab in the words of my generation, UP YOURRRRRRSSSSS
I feel like you didn't need a comic to get that. ID4 wasn't a subtle movie or well-developed by any means, but they did pretty clearly establish that he was a wreck and that a likely cause (in whole or in a large part) was his abduction.
Why don't you do a pitch meeting for the movie "Idiocracy"?
Great idea 👍
Do we need a pitch meeting for reality?
Ant Cannone yes
You just have to watch CNN for that.
@@XanderHarris1023 CNN is tight
His response to the dogfight was hilarious! And the fact that he brought it up again afterwards.
Squeezing in dogs is TIGHT!
US: Now, to bring down each ship you need to fly directly into the superlaser at the precise moment it starts to fire.
Every other country: That's super easy, barely an inconvenience.
"Are you going to have time for any character development?"
"No."
Not having any character delvelopment is tight.
The Modern School of Moviemaking.
Thing is though, most of the characters DO have character development, it's just not emphasized outside of Russel Case. Is the development Oscar-worthy or super-ultra-amazing? No, but it is still there.
So Willl Smith plays a Will Smith (character) then does a backflip and breaks the alien bad guys (neck) and saves the day.
So will Smith did a will Smith
Accurate
@@komodogaming9598 True.

Watching this at the midnight showing on July 3rd/4th was the most fun I've ever had watching a movie in the theater. The entire audience was cheering and clapping by the end.
It was my first big blow em up movie I saw in a theatre as a young man. When the city I was in got specifically mentioned as being destroyed by the aliens a huge happy cheer went up in the theatre. We were just happy to be mentioned. 😂🎉 Best moment I've ever had in a movie.
@@justinkennedy3004 that's awesome :) times were different then. Now I don't ever go to the theater, I'd rather just watch on my nice big tv at home without dealing with other people lmao. I'm old /sigh
Yup. I went July 4 also. Looked forward to it for a couple months because all the marketing said it would be released July 4. Movies used to be so fun.
(Finally) making a pitch meeting of Independence Day is TIGHT.
But given how long it took to make it I have to assume that it wasn’t super easy, barley an inconvenience.
It didn’t take a long time they were just waiting for July 4th to post
TRAM PHAN fair enough but this series has been going on for a while now, they could have posted it last year too.
Wow Wow Wow
Well they decided to do it now so how about YOU GET ALL THE WAY OFF MY BACK.
Mr. Dantastic LOL
*Having a Canadian celebrate the 4th of July is TIGHT!*
"Wait, so if Pre-1996 computers were capable of sentience and summoning hamburgers why haven't we utilized and explored that technology further?"

True, I'm only here cause of Ryan.

Same
What's a ScreenRant? All I know is Ryan George.
wow, what an original comment! it's not like this has been commented on every pitch meeting episode ever made about a thousand times. You must feel very accomplished pulling off this joke that you totally 100% created yourself!
I was writing an essay for my college HR class, and I snuck in "super easy, barely an inconvenience". Proud man right here 😎
Oh sneaking in "super easy barely an inconvenience" is tight.
@@sideshow6830 Wow, wow, wow, wow!
😂😂😂
You:I just made an obscure reference. Ah whoops
I hope the person grading it will write "essays are tight" onto it
"... I was actually surprised in my research that, y' know, there ARE other countries..." says the Canadain accurately trolling Americans.
Didn't know he was Canadian, that explains so much.
which one is canadian? The producer or screenwriter?
@@caelen8053 Actually, the computer's software is American and the hardware is from China. The producer is from LA and the Screenwriter is from Montreal. And Ryan is from Canada. He tells Producer Guy and Screenwriter Guy what to say.
Just Canada in general. Ya know. Because.
Of course, if the nation right next to you were Canada, you'd probably forget there were other countries, too.
All funny Canadians immediately become property of the U.S. As we have done with Dan Akroyd, John Candy, Jim Carrey, Tommy Chong, Phil Hartman, Norm MacDonald, Mike Meyers, and many others. You will all be assimilated.
"i'm glad that these aliens are considerate of our marketing strategy" haha
'Computers can do anything cuz they're made of magic'
Oohhh is that how they work
That's pretty much how Hollywood has been portraying computers since the 80's.
@@JimmyMon666 Ain't that the truth
I'm glad these aliens are considerate of our marketing strategy - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not a single mention of perhaps the greatest pre-battle speech in cinema history from Bill Pullman....shame
That speech was more like a parody of a pre-battle speech than a sincere effort. Also, strikingly tone-deaf considering the movie was marketed to a global audience.
@@patrickd8654 I dunno. The whole gist of the speech was "The Fourth of July will no longer be an American holiday."
Amazing how nothing Patrick said was even remotely correct...
@@NDTexan
Considering that everything I said was a statement of opinion rather than fact, I am unsure how you can be so certain whether it was correct.
Can you elaborate on what I got wrong?
There was literally nothing parody about that speech in the greater context of the movie. Nor was it a non global motivational speech. Wasn't American centric at all. The entire point of the speech was about the Fourth of July no longer being an American holiday and mankind as a whole. Not entirely sure what was tone deaf about it.
So yeah I don't care if it's your opinion I think it's wrong. You're the one that chimed in on my comment making your claims that came off as absolute statements rather than opinions. Or would you prefer I said incredibly off base?
"Don't even show the dogs I say"
Oh goddamn it I spat cereal everywhere again
I learned a *very* long time ago that while watching Pitch Meetings it's not wise to be eating or drinking anything you don't want spewed all over your keyboard :).
whoops
whoopsie
That was wonderful! Also, was that the first cover you’ve ever done without blowing up the eyes?!?!?! 🤯 (but what you did here was better... so... I still count it as a win)
Nope, the recent ones in the same style are Ghost Rider and The Matrix. And occasional others before that.
I know they did the same thing to the endgame one, and for the sonic one they shrunk his eyes down
“This guys got a ton of jokes”
“His friend just died”
“Ya a ton of jokes”
Jimmy dying is pretty sad, so that comic relief was very much needed.
“I’m glad that these aliens are considerate of our marketing strategy.” 🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“The aliens are going to blow up American landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the White House and the Capitol building.”
“What about the Pentagon?”
“I have a strange feeling that showing that would seem like a bad idea in a few years.”
Oh vaguely hinting at tragic events that will happen some time in the future is tight!
For the same reason they picked the Empire state building instead of the World trade center?
“He’s got a lot of jokes.”
“His friend just died.”
“Yeah, he’s got a lot of jokes.”
Rewatched that part several times xD Ryan is so great at these roles now.
I mean, I guess that could be how he copes... 🤷🏽♂️
"So we're only going to use the Air Force to counter attack? No long range surface to air support from the Navy or ground based forces? At least to test their defenses first?"
"No, wasting highly trained pilots against a superior aerial presence is tight!"
Whoopsie
TBF, U.S. military doctrine is heavily reliant on total air superiority, I'm not sure what we would do if we could not establish that.
"And then they get let right in and get parked by an alien."
" The alien mothership has valet?"
"That's what we're going with."
"So what do they do then?"
"They basically nuke the valet and run."
Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I love this! Please do the sequel. It was so awful, but seeing a pitch meeting about it will have made seeing it worth while.
"That's not how fire works"
"You said fire works"
Fire works are tight!
I hope Ryan’s back is ok from carrying screen rant and producer guy this whole time
It's super easy barely an inconvenience, he says 'sir I want you to get all the way off my back' and
Producer guy says: oh let me get off that thing.
@@chinnidiwakar beautiful. Thanks for this.
wait theirs something other than Ryan on this channel?
@@morpheoss other things are narrated by Ryan too just in his normal 'pitch' xD
@@chinnidiwakar He's gonna get off of that thing !
Writers: ... because every computer can talk to every other computer and they're magic
Producer: That's strange. I can't load files from my PC on my mac.
Writer: if we use an ibook to upload the virus, Apple will pay us a lot of money
Producer: That's just how computers work.
Which is true of course but more likely than HG Wells Martians succumbing to an earth bacteria or virus
Captain Hiller found them cause they were at the base he was stationed at... Not overly complicated. The only bad comment I have, love these though.
"his best friend just died"...."yea, he's got a lot of jokes" X"D
''They did weird stuff to his butt probably"

Make a Pitch Meeting for Hamilton (2020)
Independence Day: the US gets organised and defeats the aliens.
Covid-19: yeah right.
That's one of the deepest, yet shortest, excellent takes.
Well, they had president Whitmore and a mid 190's Apple laptop so...
Well, you can't shoot a virus, so...
I have a theory that only aliens can unite us.
@@C20H25N3oh That was basically the crux of Ozymandias's plan in the Watchmen comic.
The 90's, when having one of your heros suicide attack your enemies with a airplane was still an acceptable thing to put in your summer blockbuster.... Good times
really weird seeing the twin towers in older movies
we still do that
@@NewPaulActs17 we have similar profile images
@@candasmith it's us 30 in sw iowa (facing west)
Suicide attack by airplane? If only there were a word for that.
Just a pointer, Will Smith flew to what remained of his air base, which is where he told his wife to head to before he left. So he didn't just 'find her' in the middle of ruined L.A lol
A hole in Ryan's plot
But how did she find the base.
This is what I came to the comments to point out. He found her because he told her to go to El Toro, and then he heard it had been destroyed so he went to look for her.
@@JimmyMon666It was implied that that's the base he regularly reports to, so she probably already knows where it is.
Executive guy "but millions of people died tho"
Screenwriter guy "but America"

@@leoui1085 I didn't. I'm so grateful that nearly every comment is just a direct quote.

@Ole Nickel Accurate
“Well millions of people died”
“Yes but America”
When COVID is finally eradicated in the US
Cal B ha
@@jetlag51 so, like when it's slightly worse than the flu after infecting 350 million and most dead were already terminally ill?
Covid is weak sauce.
@@TheGuruStud yeah but one of them we have a vaccine for and the other is a virus we don't have a vaccine for...
"I'm glad that these aliens are considerate of our marketing strategy." LOL! Great writing there!
Oh my, the personality interactions with the Producer and Writer guys makes me giggle. So well done. This entire video series has definitely made me rewatch movies in a whole different way!!!
"And near the end we're going to show various cities around the world which have been saved by America."
"How will you know which cities they are?"
"By the landmarks."
"Wait, didn't you say the aliens blew up all the landmarks?"
"Oh, whoops!"
"Whoopsie!"
You can kind of tell how good a movie is based on these. Even after a pitch meeting its like "that sounds like a lot of fun".... it is, it was. Shows how id4 was the perfect summer blockbuster
Now that Hamilton is technically a movie we need a pitch meeting for it
Yes!
Ok Jacksfilms!
YES!
Not gonna lie, as an American, when we play a WW2 board game, I do the real life America tactic. Sit around, and wait for Europe to destroy each other, then get involved when we’re attack. Except I never got involved even after they recreated Pearl Harbor, they attacked me once for control of the see, then went back to killing each other while I just built up my army. By the time they realized “WAIT, AMERICAS NOT DVEN LOST GROUND TROOPS!” It was too late. I already had control of Canada, North America, South America, and even Mexico, even the countries under America were now part of America. By default I won the game with only suffering the loss of one ship. Meanwhile, Europe is filled with bodies.
That’s the art of war.
Very
And then the computer did a backflip, snapped the producers neck and saved the day. 🤣
TIGHT
That’s super easy barley an inconvenience
I love how proud he was about the character development!
“Millions of people died though”
“But America” 😂😂😂😂😂
isn't that one of the amendments?
isn't that exactly what's happening right now? >.
@Thor Odinson I predict we will get over 1 million deaths before all is said and done. I'm pretty sure people are re-acquiring the disease. There is no proof of this yet, but keep in mind that Corona viruses like the common cold only give temporary immunity, not permanent immunity, and Covid is also a coronavirus. As for a vaccine, well, we haven't even cured the common cold yet, so I don't have high hopes for that. I predict this will stick around a decade or more, and over the course of a decade most likely will kill 1 million Americans.
Meanwhile, one drug addicted career criminal gets killed by a cop and half the country loses it's mind.
"Welcome to Earth" IS a great line.
This is a guilty pleasure for me.
Postive vibes all through this comment section 🙂 I hope youre all having a great day!
