"I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are" -Mewtwo
-Zachary Thomas Thoroman
@@theuniversedoesntcare we dreamed of creating the world's strogest pokemon and we succseeded
“Myuu~~” -Mew
Yes, thanks, we definitely did not know he said that
I just have to wonder. Instead of just going on about what Mewtwo was SUPPOSED to do, imagine if the scientists did something different. Said hello, hugged Mewtwo, asked how he felt. Treated him less like an object and more like a kid in a new place, which he kind of is. What if he got love and support instead?
Monroe Robbins then they probably wouldn’t have died lol
the movie wouldn't have happened and Gary wouldn't have lost that gym battle
Somebody needs to write that fanfic.
So basically
If Mew was a proactive parent and mindhaxed those scientists.
He would still be facing massive problems, when giving a human like mind to an all powerful being they get bored. Boredom is what we humans hate the most. He would still have to learn to enjoy life going through stages of finding something that pushes back against his great power. I don’t think the lesson is how you treat someone I think it’s more about the human mind. In a lot of ways we all crave that power that mind yet it’s ultimately what would put a limit to our purpose. We all mistaking my desire that power but all fear the moment the pieces on our chess board have fulfilled there purpose and have no reason to move. The key to fulfilling our human mind is to enjoy life as an animal does
Mewtwo is also extremely pissed about life in general
"welcome to the club pal'' - Rick Sanchez
Can't blame him
Would you like to be used by other people dumbass
@@user-bk2ic3mf2j well alot of pokemon like neing with trainers but theres also some people who force pikemon who dont want it. And im possive theres pokemon abusers so i do understand mewtwo's anger but he's acting like all of humanity is the same
emotwo
Inb4 he doesn't mention the part about the professor's daughter and previous clones dying and mewtwo as a psychic child watched them leave before his eyes.
Nick Rondinelli everybody like this so everyone can see this
It's more that the English dub completely changed the motivations for the characters
Nick Rondinelli Troll
I'm pretty sure they wipe Mewtwo's memories after that, leaving him confused with nothing but vague feelings. It's strong, but not complete motivation in and of itself. It just puts him in the right frame of mind for the arrogant scientists to mess him up psychologically later
Night Phoenix Productions cc!!s!x!slsaax!?woss😇😣😨😤😤😐😐
Mewtwo only did that in the movie because he was raised by a young girl that he loved, but when she is gone, he enters the real world, then he feels he loses his purpose and flips out.
The young girl is professor Fuji’s daughter
You did't mention the one line that sums it all up. "I now realize that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that makes you who you are".
I really appreciate you mentioning that Mewtwo had to rebuild the lab, add the castle, make his own pokeballs and that it didn't happen overnight. He essentially perfected the cloning technique that the scientists took years to even have one success in...when creating Mewtwo. I also liked that you describe Mewtwo as having these God-like powers, but with an immense intelligence and that this actually causes him to be bored and isolated. I've never heard him described this way. 802 pokemon, and Mewtwo is still my favorite.
The best part is that Mew thought that they were just playing.
I mean,what else would Mew think?
Most parents don't think their kids are attempting murder when it seems like catch is being played.
...only Mew's motivations for fighting were less innocent in the Japanese version and Mew intentionally fought Mewtwo to prove originals superiority over clones.
I still cringe at the fact the english script went way out of its way to paint Mewtwo far more negatively.
@@markchang7523 yeah I heard mew was an ass in the Japanese version too
I’d like to point out that Mewtwo only had a little while to actually train meanwhile Mew has had possibly billions of years to slowly grow stronger.
Would that really make a difference to someone who thinks they are perfect
Well hes a clone
@@divinedarkness3208 Clones are genetically the same, like an identical twin. They don't include experience. They start as a fetus and grow into adults, just as Mewtwo did.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa790 Except that Mewtwo was created at a physically adult stage.
Hey Grant, you forgot to mention the cut portion of the film with Mewtwo and Ai. It's really a heart breaking scene that sadly never got to the west, it can be found on UA-cam if you know where to look, it is mostly referenced under the name "Birth of Mewtwo". It provides a more cohesive reason as to why Mewtwo is pissed at humans, as in the cut show that they died and he could not understand why until much later, in that he was the only successful clone watching the ones he grew to love die.
... Yeah its dark and the comment section already talked a bit more about it. Hope your day is going well Grant and Crew.
Its funny you say cut because if you owned the HVS tape version of mewtwo strikes back it was actually included at the beginning for the North America version.
I do have a VHS copy of Mewtwo Strikes Back and I did not see the cut at any point (until I looked it up much later on). Although it might be due to me living in Canada. And when looking into it further, it was included but only the first two minutes were dubbed it seems. It was later fully dubbed at some point but was in a Japanese DVD (according to Bubapedia) as it was played before the start of the film for VHS and as an extra on DVD.
I live in the US and also did not see the cut until I came across it on the internet. And I watched that tape from start to finish entirely too many times. XD
Hmm, do you think it adds more to Mewtwo's character or takes away from it? I think it humanizes him a bit more as he was fairly innocent, and to just see his closest friends perish because they were not as strong as him making it the first human death in the Pokemon Series... That has never happened since. Feel free to add more to the discussion. I would love to hear more about this as I've never really heard much discussion about it.
You know its funny cus I live in canada and I know my VHS tape of it has it as after I said that I went back to confirm it. Must just be differences in production runs maybe?
It's too bad you didn't go into the story of Mewtwo's origins. There's a whole intro opening sequence startint with mew buzzing some scientists after they find a fossil, then later in the lab, with a baby mewtwo and the scientist's daughter that he's trying to clone, (The original died). Along with the girl and mewtwo there's also a charmanger, bulbasaur and squirtle. All of them, the girl included, die, and leave mewtwo alone. This leads into the opening with mew in the water with Mewtwo speaking and questioning himself. If we consider what he's already gone through, it's a good place to start with analyzing his character and phylosophy since it shows more of what he himself has experienced. The only friends he ever had died, and later, he recreates those friends, minus the human girl. (Though we could argue that the brainwashed Joy is a substitute for her).
I agree. Even though his memory was wiped he most likely had a subconscious memory of the child and his POKÉMON friends. And I think that the reason Mewtwo was prejudice against natural born POKÉMON is the only POKÉMON he had known were the created POKÉMON. As for his anger towards humans, is, I think due to what Govoni said, "You were created by humans for humans." And because of that Govoni says that Mewtwo has no choice but to obey humans. (Of course I disagree with that. POKÉMON have a choice. They are intelligent creatures. And Govoni being Mewtwo's first contact with humans it's not hard to understand why he had anger towards humans. But when he saw that this young human (Ash Catchem) give his life for cloned and uncloned POKÉMON it opened his eyes that not all humans are bad. And if you know the back story of Pikachu you know that he used to be owned by Govoni, but escaped. That is why in the very episode of POKÉMON Pikachu hated Ash. He no doubt had the same view of humans; because, like Mewtwo Giovanni was his first human contact. But when Ash showed him kindness he too learned that not all humans were alike. I really liked the lesson that the movie had. Just because we are born from different backgrounds doesn't mean that we are better or lesser than someone else. I believe that with all my heart. Sorry that this was a really long comment. I just really like this movie. Because of the lesson I just mentioned. I hope you have a good day.
I didn't notice he had recreated those two. Did he really? That's interesting.
I had this movie on VHS tape anybody remember them
Crowe Lee what's a video home system
i still have it on vhs in a hard case, i love it
I watched my one way too much and it broke
been there, my star wars box set is wearing out lol
I still have it on VHS, though I no longer have a VCR(parents gave away my dual DVD/VCR in one TV.)
The problem with Pikachu defeating a Golem isn't because it's a rock type. It's because it's a ground type. 1:00
Everyone's said it before but I gotta again: All of Mewtwo's actions are motivated by him losing Amber and his three friends in the tube.
He might not actually remember it since they erased his memory, but residue of what she told him and that feeling stayed... hence him being born as a pissed off cat when they treat his life as nothing more than a project.
1:03 Golem is also Ground, and that's why Pikachu shouldn't have dealt damage to ground.
I like how he said rock in the beginning instead in ground.
Ishaan Jain😇ok loser
Zahran Khan123 if anyone is a loser it’s you for responding to a comment from a year ago
00:55 Yes, Golem is a rock type, but more importantly it is a GROUND type which is immune to electric.
Electric hits rock types
Electric does NOT hit ground types.
Golem still shouldn't be affected but yeah.
Why do I get the feeling I should have finished the video before making the comment?
Optitron98 c
Optitron98 well if they are using the type rules for red/blue they didn’t have dual types meaning it would only belong to one group either rock or ground and not both so it is still possible 🤔
@@alecabram9235 What the hell are you talking about nothing about that is true.
He also says Ash's Pikachu fought Onix in episode 1 which also just isn't true. I too didn't finish watching the video, so I'm not sure if this person intentionally makes mistakes as easter eggs or if it's the result of poor research. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Electric attack can work on rock pokemon, bat can't on ground
alexander opsimulis bat can't on ground. That took me a few seconds to work out
Best animated movie villain for me. He's got the best backstory and character.
Too bad it was a one and somewhat twice, and done story; years have passed and they never really went back to such a thing; just a slight scene of some Mew DNA morphing into Mewtwo from that Genesect movie
And game wise the diary even I hadn't noticed till Origins reminded me that Mewtwo was BIRTHED by Mew and the clone story was anime exclusive
@@TheKpa11 Detective Pikachu is a much better movie if you think of that Mewtwo as the one from the first movie.
If only Mewtwo's godlike qualities were able to be transferred into Super Smash Bros
@Dancing Israeli
That’s his final smash
Mew is millions of years old and mewtwo being only afew months to a year old is standing toe to toe. Level 100 vs level 4.
To be fair the lead scientist took the opportunity to bring his daughter back to life, which ended in failure and mewtwo's sanity decline.
Sorry I have to nerd at you
*inhale*
PIKACHU BEAT THE ONIX CAUSE HE TRIGGERED THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM AND COVERED IT WITH WATER WHICH CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY
Yveltal TV But that still shouldn't have work! Yes the water weakened it but the electricity shouldn't have been that effective! That illogical! [im sorry Yveltal Chan]
Saiya San His mouth was open. Case closed. XD
Night Demon 😂😂😂😂
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Soak_(move)
Ash's pikachu conducts so mıch electricity even ground takes damage
Really needed to pad out the video with Brock's "No Chew Stew" huh?
we made room for the memes my dude, i wasnt trying to pad it out i just wanted to make it a funny segment ;)
Now that Mewtwo is explained to me, the first thing that comes to my mind is that Mewtwo is a mix of two DC Comics characters: Bizarro and Doctor Manhattan. He's like Bizarro cause of how he is a "clone" to Mew, just as Bizarro is a clone to Superman and he is like Doctor Manhattan because of how he has these god-like abilities but is bored with humanity and pokemon alike
But what about the Genesect Mewtwo? That one had the exact same origin but saw the world differently.
joe crusher that mewtwo didn't have his mind erased. Watched mewtwo beginning. Mewtwo originally was kind just like mew. He watched amber two and the other clones die. The second mewtwo, the one that fought Genesect was tortured yes, but kept its mind in check.
We don't speak of it. Ever!
Same species but different individual. That Mewtwo was more in favour of Pokemon as a whole and didn't want to cleanse the world of natural borns, and at worst saw humans as something to be avoided, although in the films' short, she told the good guys to forget they met her
because he changed, there's an episode that shows what happens to mewtwo and the other clones. He kind of realises that killing all humans wasn't the brightest idea. Search pikatwo on bulbapedia.
multiple Mewtwo theory...
The actual "Philosophy of MewTwo" happens beyond the halfway point. @7:50
3:23 When I was little, I thought he said, "I am ready, to pee to pee to pee"
Why wouldn't it work? Rock types aren't immune to electric attacks
Harmony Dissonance hes also a ground type
Golem and Onix are part ground sooooooooo
Still right, but for the wrong reason.
Harmony Dissonance they are in gen 1
kabuto, omanite, their evolutions, and aerodactyl are all rock types but weak to electric attacks.
09:30 and this is when ash became immortal and stayed 10 years old forever.
In some storylines, Mewtwo is a genetically modified Mew fetus.
5 years after I first picked up the series I just realized that Mewtwo is a combination of Mew and Two. He’s a clone of Mew.
I’m an idiot! Yay to go!
How did it take you this long?
I’m very stupid.
Mewtwo is my spirit animal. He knows my struggle.
But Mewtwo can only use struggle when it runs out of PP
Pokémon Trainer Joel Best comment
Pokémon Trainer Joel GG 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@dreamlanderjoel8162 Clever
Actually, Meowth's translation of Mew's speech is much different in the original Japanese. He says that the clones were the inferior team, because a natural Pokemon had heart and soul behind their power, and the clones didn't. Also in their first fight scene, Mew wasn't laughing just because he was having fun. He thought it was hilarious that Mewtwo actually thought he could fight Mew. You can still see evidence of this behavior in the dub, mostly because of how seriously Mew takes the one-on-one fight afterward, going so far as to summon his full power to strike at Mewtwo. The ego must be genetic.
I think You got the line wrong with all due respect
It's more or less: "Even if the clones fight at full power , if the originals fight with their skill, they Will never win "
If I'm remembering correctly, in the original Japanese mew said that mewtwo and his clones were abominations. Anyone have any thoughts on how that might change this movie's philosophy.
jsdcool A lot
Yup... That's kind of *pokémon*struous.
It doesn't really fit Mew's character. I like the English dub's interpretation better.
It said something like the true ones will always be superior. I got it off of ThatguyinSuedes Pokémon the First movie review.
Basically, Mew said that the original Pokémon were the true ones, and as long as they would fight without using any special powers (this explaining why they didn't use any moves during the massive fight to the death), the originals would never lose to the inferior copies.
Even if I can understand why it was changed for the Western audiences (they obviously didn't want to portray the cute little Mew basically being just as "evil" as Mewtwo), I still personally prefer the original Japanese version of Mew's character. The whole "It's What's Inside That Counts" speech they gave Mew in the dub was overly sugary and cliche to my taste.
Electric types can hurt rock types not ground which are immune
just want to say: the time of the invitation and the time of the trainer's arrival doesn't matter for when the castle was built. mewtwo could have easily built the castle MONTHS or even YEARS in advance and THEN sent out the invitations when he was done. there was no indication to my knowledge that mewtwo invited trainers over mere moments after destroying the lab.
I'm pretty sure it's not years. Because Giovanni stomped Gary with his Mewtwo. It might be just some few weeks or even few days considering how Gary and Ash meet.
I am probably the only person who saw the tumbnail and thought
*"ohh boobs!"*
Ohh the wonders of the mind...
Feather Sword what?
Dude nofap
Yes you are always the only one, my special snowflake.
sorry to say,but u ended up on the wrong channel
the channel u might be looking for lies deep within the realm of SUBSCRIPTIONS AND TRENDING!
so please go paste it on your desired site with boobs in thumbnail
Like a master surgeon without a patient. Or a grill without a burger.
May I say that if you saw the first few minutes of the opening to the Japanese version you would see how more sad Mewtwo backstory is because the English version got rid of those extra minutes at the start that show important character moments
So Mewtwo is like the Silver Surfer who got the power from Galactus and no one can beat him.
Want us to go into the philosophies of other pokemon characters? Let us know who and maybe we'll do it! Also make sure to check out our boy Maikeru's channel! You won't be disappointed!

Treesicle Hi Grant! 🙂👋🏽How are you today?
Treesicle well you have to do mew now. Font forget the info in the games, like how its mewtwos mom or some shut and something about a jungle birth? I can't remember.
The change of heart of Metwo, was caused by the Phantom Thieves of hearts,lol.

So mewtwo is basically a poké god with some kind of depression
Yea
k. kippie so it's poke Rick Sanchez
Arceus is god God. Mew is Adam and Mewtwo is Eve.

The cut-out scene that became a *radio drama,* has a chance to give you *trauma!*
1:01 electric attacks are normally effective against Rock types. It's Golems ground typing that should make him immune to electric moves.
Electric type can hit a rock type , but golem is both rock and ground , electric moves can't hit ground , you are wrong and so is the anime . Your welcome .
You are wrong about Mew and Mewtwo being equal in power. While Mewtwo was fighting Mew he also kept a enormous storm going while Mew was using his full power in the fight. So (Mew's power) = (Mewtwo's power) - (the power it takes to keep that storm going). So Mewtwo was far stronger than Mew.
Dr. λ the Checker of Types that makes him an idiot, just ditch the storm and focus on your target
@@carrier2823 Not really. It was not his goal to have Mew beaten, his goal was to prove and confirm that he is the most powerful. Beating Mew was merely a means to achieve that goal.
So he had 2 possible reasons for keeping the storm up:
- To keep outsiders from interfering.
- To prove more conclusively that he is the most powerful by using only a small part of his power to beat Mew.
@@oneheckofabanana2016 correct
Was Mewtwo maintaining the storm? I thought he just got it started.

"Where my heart can learn what yours knows so well. What transpired here today I will always remember, but perhaps for you these events are best forgotten."
Mew is the child
Mewtwo is the grumpy stubborn teen to me 😂😂😂😂
Love Pokemon !!!!
You forgot the deleted scenes where mewtwo plays with the scientists dead daughter. Just discovered this its pretty dark 😭
Mewtwo was just trying to be zen and find his inner self? I just thought he was an introvert.
If you read his Pokédex entries it says that because his battle abilities were raised to the maximum level, all he thinks about is fighting. In addition, the Pokédex states that he remains statue-like and unmoving in battle to conserve energy. Make of this what you will.
Actually, Mewtwos pokeballs aren’t masterballs. A masterball cant catch a pokemon that already has a pokeball, but Mewtwos pokeballs can. Maybe a good name for them woudl be Megaballs or something?
I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one who calls the OG Mewtwo a "he/him" and not an "it" or "they/them" most of the time.
yeah,pretty sure mewtwo is a guy.
You're not really all that special in thar regard. Most people refer to him as male
Special Ability: Ash's Pikachu's Electric attacks are magic and will do damage to all types.
"Mew, mew mew mew mew!" - Mew
Gets me everytime 😥
I really enjoyed this analysis of Mewtwo both in the movies and games. I loved the first movie as a kid and because it's so old it's not a common topic youtubers delve in. Mewtwo's such a fascinating existence in the lore but hardly known for that or his backstory but his potential in battle meta if he's even legal to use in the games. Fans love Mewtwo but I've seen many really only care about the game version (which is normal honestly and some do not like the animation so it's bound to happen) and despite the detailed lore in the original games it's still hardly something I see appreciated.
It's kind of deep; is this movie meta about fans/trainers in general? People in general? Not many people are concerned with Pokemon lore as much as they do design and capability for battling (competitively or otherwise). Pokemon aren't real but the possible underlying message is interesting. Are we as uncaring to the idea of life and creatures as Team Rocket was to Mewtwo? Are we that callous to each other as humans? The events of 2017 so far says yes and while Mewtwo came to the conclusion that working together and having strength as a whole rather than segregated is the better way to live due to Ash's sacrifice what will it take for humans in reality? Will a similar tragedy have to happen? Will it take a world ending event to reach that realization? It's pretty interesting to step the first movie side to side like this with how people work and think. Mewtwo really does represent human consciousness and he's a hybrid caught between the intellectualily of human and Pokemon and cannot find happiness with either (which can be seen as a metaphor for those born mixed as well, not belonging anywhere but not happen on one side either). He needed to be surrounded with those like him, representation of what he is living, to be able to find some level of solitude and feel less alone (at least in the movies). This reminds me of how important representation for people of all demographs can be for development and self-esteem. You mentioned the movie touches heavy subjects and I agree. This movie does not get the credit it deserves for touching on deeper topics without being condescending to its audience (you know the whole thought process of "it's just a kids move for kids, it doesn't have to be smart/though provoking/have meaning and every little thing needs hand-holding exposition).
Mewtwo is honestly one of the most relatable characters introduced in the animation (funny considering he's a Pokemon too). As people we seek potential, whether in ourselves or in others or from other's validation, but in the end what we seek is also what can make us or break us. Happiness is both within our grasps and also unobtainable depending the person. We all have ever chattering minds that need stimulation and/or distraction to avoid self destruction even without the boredom that comes with demi-god status. We all have dreams and aspirations that are tainted by reality's expectations (social/environmental or from those around us) and hardships. Everyone in a way is a Mewtwo. Less of the fantasy stuff obviously but more in terms of what is happiness to us and how people who can't find meaning often are always lost. How innocence is a fragile stat of mind that can easily be influenced by the evil around us-as in the video you mentioned Mewtwo was ready to be alive but when 'born' he was only surrounded by the icy hand of those who are selfish and uncaring skewing his perspective and molding his reality into something far from what he desired before birth.
To add, Mewtwo may also jaded by what happened to him while still just a young consciousness. I recall some scenes from the first movie removed (it was considered too heavy and 'graphic' with depictions of death to be aired in US theaters but that's censoring for you) with Mewtwo and a little girl (daughter of the scientist I believe?) and the three starter clones with her. The scientist was researching to bring his littler girl back to life. This girl showed Mewtwo the fascinations of life and explained things to him because he didn't understand (this was when Mewtwo was still forming? He was small/a baby in these scenes and knew little like a new born) and gradually a time came where the three starters gradually died off and then the girl who reached a sense of acceptance as she explained to Mewtwo it would happen to her too. I think they wiped Mewtwo's memory since the loss of the girl was risking Mewtwo's own stabilization/life but I would think he didn't forget. Like even if the memories are repressed it's also familiar, probably like how deja vu works. He knew death before he was even alive and I think even with memory manipulation that stayed with him and maybe his zest and dreams for life originated from his younger self with the girl but because he's a clone from Mew he saw those visions from Mew's perspective? I haven't seen these movies for while so I'm not sure but thought it'd be interesting to add to this topic. (I don't mind being corrected, I need a refreshing on these movies).
Anyway, this comment is so long and I went on a tangent lol Great video as always and hope to see more! I'd love to see the second movie analyzed if the interest is there!
All that matters was the ground typing
8:33 “Who will rule? My super Pokémon, or your pathetic group of spineless inferior pokem-” “Mew!”
Wow, I almost forgot Mewtwo was a thing. Nowadays with the “Ultra Beasts”, it seems like Mewtwo never had a purpose in more ways than one, in the way told about in this video, and in real life. Nintendo just used Mewtwo, and replaced him with the next godlike Pokémon they could come up with, making Mewtwo’s tragedy even worse. And his likeness is not even kept that well, I have a couple of Mewtwo Pokémon cards, and they are so much worse than some basic Pokémon I have.
One thing that kind of drives me crazy about the comparison of Mew keeping up with Mewtwo is no one ever seems to take into account that he's both pushing a globe wiping storm, and suppressing all the special abilities of every other Pokemon in the arena while he's fighting mew.
Not just that but also his Lvl is probly still pretty low while Mews Lvl is probably really high.
Electric type hurting rock type is normal damage, it's ground type that electric type can't affect.
I can't help but laugh my ass off when I see Ash go to punch Mewtwo
The death of ash could have been a sign that he messed up. That his struggle may have some sense it doesn't mean the death of someone is ever acceptable
According to the notes of takeshi sudo, ash doesn't die when he is petrified
He's just petrified
what if mewtwo's only improvements were that he had increased body mass, could talk, and had full fledged limbs? no power increase at all
I was 9 when the movie came out...I feel so old!
In the first movie, Mewtwo is effectively a god, but in all the subsequent movies, he's...little more than a slightly amped up pokemon. Power scale your characters, Japan!!
Has anyone told you that you are extremely handsome? Because I opened this video and paused it to watch it later and it was a closeup of your face and I was taken away. YOU PRETTY
and maybe they just impoved Mewtwo by making him taller
Rebecca H did you see his herpe on his lip during that close up?
you should see him in real life, he's tall too
;)
Oh my..
Sean Ransom 😂😂😂😂😂 I fell asleep n woke up 2 this video playing and came 2 the comments just to see if anybody was gonna say something about that 😂😂😂😂😂
When I heard mewtwo talk the first time I heard him say "I need to pee" and then I was like XD
FINALLY VIDEO ABOUT MEWTWO
"I see now that I can use my fingers and hello,try and catch me..just kidding leave me alone" -mewtwo
Mewtwo's philosophy is 'be yourself'. That's the message of the entire Pokemon series.
During the final confrontation, mew powers up faster than mewtwo. Mew was as a disadvantage. Probably the first time in its entire life
Remember when people knew what Pokemon was before Pokemon go?
Those were the good ol' days
So much better times
Before normies
jontel03 Pokemon is prime Normie shit what you talking about...
Yes
i think if you renamed this "The Mewtwo story and tragedy you never knew" youd get 10x more views. love ur vids
Someone should do a video of why metwos voice changed from male to female. He was an awesome character before he changed genders and forgot ash. Hundreds of people are wonderin what happened with that and theres no video explanation on UA-cam
That was a different Mewtwo.
Mewtwo is my favorite pokemon because of the first film. To that point in my childhood, no cartoon had hit that level of "Shit just got real", the flippant way he CREATES A DEADLY HURRICANE with the flick of his wrist was like O.O.......... In the end, he wasn't defeated, he CHOSE to stop fighting because he was moved by Ash's sacrifice and the tears of both trainers and pokemon. I've caught glimpses of the updated versions of him and even the in game versions take away from that shock factor his first appearance brought. I mean in recent years he doesn't even talk, that was one of his selling points was (aside from Meowth) he was the only pokemon to speak to people even if it was through his psychic abilities. As much as I love the show to this day, can't really beat the first film in my opinion, it's always the star in my book.
In Japanese mew was actually only on the island to rid the world of the inferior abominations known as clones... so really it’s no better than mewtwo. The point was in the end neither one was better. The “conditions of one’s birth” line is mewtwo voicing what both he and mew were thinking.
A few other things of note....Rock type doesn’t resist electricity... what IS significant about this, is that golem’s secondary type is ground! Now that is cool.
Also ash doesn’t fight Brock until like episode 4 and the logic behind that was onyx was wet.
Is there an extended intro that I’m not aware of??? I have seen the movie somewhat recently and definitely repeatedly I don remember any of that.
Still great video you know sigmand freuid (probably speed his name wrong) once said something similar if you gave a baby the power to destroy the world... he will.
Mew's line in the japanese dub is: "Even if the clones fight at full power , if the originals fight with their skill, they Will never win "
Nothing about exterminating the clones

1. I'm pretty sure Mew's intentions aren't explained in a single line of dialog, you have to look at the full story.
2. That might be true (I don't know Japanese tbh, I'm going off what I heard) but it still proves mew's focus was on "winning" not making a point about "the power that's inside" and putting a stop to mewtwo's destruction.
Hey for those in the comments: mew never said that mewtwo needed to be destroyed or that he was an abomination in the japanese Dub, far from it
What mew said is essentially: "Even if the clones fight at full power , if the originals fight with their skill, they Will never win "
That's it, Mew never says anything close to: Mewtwo should die
I heard in the Japanese version mew mocked mewtwo for being a copy
Apparently it's more along the lines of "Even if the clones fight at full power , if the originals fight with their skill, they Will never win "
i'd like to point out that while Mew wasn't struggling, neither was Mewtwo, it's likely neither of them approached their limits, so we cannot use this movies as a determinant to them.
Okay people he made a mistake when he said Electric types don't affect Rock types. Stfu we all know he made a mistake. Like we all don't.
Plus there's already 30+ clones of your comments.
"Golem is Rock-Type! You can't use Thunderbolt on it!"
That'd be Ground-Types.
If FF7 Cloud had Pokémon, he could make Pokémon sad after seeing Aerith death, and then Aerith would come alive again. Most likely we will have Pokémon on FF7 remake.
the beginning of this film is incredibly good
soooooooo what i learned: humans have a short attention span
OK, now I want to see you do a similar video on Lucario from the 8th movie, who was definitely the deepest character in a Pokemon movie since Mewtwo
When I was younger, I thought Mewtwo was a female because of the thighs.
Same
Mewtwo just hit everyone with that protect spam
That wasn't episode 1, 8 or 11 I think
I still remember watching the movie for the first as a 7-ish year old and feeling weirdly facinated by Mew-two. Who would have thought a pokemon would be my introduction to philosophy and existental thought. From Mew-two to Dostoevsky, what a world 🤣👌
U mad !!😂😂😂😂😂
gyrados
i laughed my ass off when i put that in lol glad you liked it!
Mewtwo returns is good
Human fusion did not just make mewtwo a improvement of mew. It made him able to speak english
Hold on. If pokemon can fuse through cloning and being synchronized with their trainers *cough* ash greninja *cough* does this mean genesect is metagross fused with kabutops and blastoise?
No, Mewtwo is a clone of Mew that had his battle abilities raised to the maximum level. They also tweaked his genes to improve his overall endurance, resulting in a larger body. He can speak due to his incredible intelligence and psychic powers. Even if he read the scientists minds to learn English, telepathy eliminates language barriers anyway.
But look at the Meouth of Jessie and James. He learned to speak by reading books and observing humans. He also learned how to walk watching humans. So Mewtwo being an exceptionally smart POKÉMON has nothing to do with that. I think the reason Mewtwo is able to speak is he has the ability to so I psychically connect with person(s) he wants to communicate with and uses their knowledge of human speech.
Thunder works on Rock type Pokémon, it doesn't work on Ground Type Pokémon. Most people get this confused with so its ok.
- At least four minutes of filler spread throughout the video. Over a minute dedicated to a 'No Jew Stew' joke that, if it were removed, would not affect the video in the slightest. But you gotta hit that 10-minute revenue requirement, right?
- The fact that Treesicle only acknowledged the 4Kids dub of the movie for Meowth's translation of Mew's speech.
- The fact that Treesicle mistakes Rock Pokémon to have Electric immunity. GROUND TYPE CREATES THE IMMUNITY. Ever see lightning strike a rock in real life? Lightning is capable of breaking rock!
The good parts of the video were fine, but the bad parts and the filler lower the overall quality.
In other words Mewtwo suffers from the same dilemma as humans: Being too smart for his own good. Well, doesn't that suck.
Mewtwo in Pokémon? Ok
Mewtwo in Smash bros? Bad Bad BAD
Lemme correct ya.
Mewtwo in pokemon:OP
Josephman900 mewtwo in pokemon is op
In smash 4 hes #6 hes top tier but in melee hes low tier
Gotta know how to use him
BRO imagine if they played the battle music from the games during the climax like you just did! That was the most badass edit! Great video as well!
