I think a big part is also the time commitment. The Homelander scene is short, and verges on "no way, did he do that?" but before you accept it as the truth they take it back. That Twilight scene goes on for so long that if they took it back it'd feel weird, and then they do lol
I can explain Twilight. Those movies are based on books. Unfortunately, those books aren't very exciting and end without any action. For the last movie, the director wanted some sort of action to close out the series, but had to end it the same way as the books. The answer was clear, use an established ability on a supporting character to give us the viewer that action, but still end the same way. The vision had to be fake, and was also only added for the movie.
yes thank you! That was insightful! I can see the dilemma for the filmmakers here, maybe I would even have done the same (make a half way interesting movie and still be faithful to the source)
My favorite example is the final fight between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty in A Game of Shadows where they are both playing regular chess and "mind chess". Jared Harris as Moriarty is great.
You're actually really good at these things. You have great potential. I've seen your other Lord of the Rings video, you need to focus on these because they way you speak and go more into depth with emotion/visual vs good story telling, I was intrigued the whole time even though I knew these false futures we're horrible and lazy storytelling.
Thanks for the feedback! I am trying to bring more of those kinds of videos and I am surely working on making them better! The feedback is much appreciated!
What? I completely disagree, other examples were nowhere near to the one in Twillight, it makes complete sense for the character to not do the thing because he literally sees his fate as dying. In other examples its just other character saying "it won't work bro". The movie is about gathering everybody, which results in them winning the future fight, them winning in the vision wouldnt happen unless they made steps towards it in the movie. Both scenes are serving completely different purpose, it is made as character development in the boys, but as a last conflict in another. Those scenese, despite showing "a vision" are completely uncomparable in that way.
Fair point. Let me put it this way: an antagonist I find worthy would not be shaken in his resolve just because of a vision, even if in that world the vision is reliable. I want to see a bad guy that sees himself above fate, that would be a strong antagonist. But you are free to disagree on that :)
What's your favorite dream/fake out sequence in cinema/tv? You want me to break it down?

Good one true that‘s a completely new spin on the idea!
