His white skin on his chin and orange skin on the rest of his face isn't. I'd shoot at that a second time just to make sure it won't spread to other people.
Two writers, one script supervisor, one script assistant, two "dialogue editors", and one sadly underappreciated actor were responsible for the writing, direction and delivery of the line "I guess I am a little... nutty." (The killer, "Urban Legend", 1998.) I'll say this for the "Avengers" films: love 'em or hate 'em, they have a lot to live down to.
Penny Lane Lol, it's probably the only time in the history of the world a dude's ever been relieved he never banged his dreamgirl. With one little change, Civil War could have easily been a lighthearted remake of Oldboy. Nazi planes saved my childhood.
Nah, I'm sure that's a weekly occurrence in Mick Jagger's life. Random 20-year old model: "My mother/grandmother met you once!" Mick: "Well, isn't that nice? Come into my parlor."

RE: Iron Man's suits. The whole point there was that those suits weren't up to his standards. They were thrown together as part of his post "Battle of New York" paranoid, PTSD-ridden attempt to have a suit for every possible disaster that could ever happen. He realized that that wasn't possible, and got rid of all his half-assed project suits, but it was never about abandoning the Iron Man suit entirely.
I don't understand that people even remember that movie. It's two hours of incredibly dumb and predictable horse shit accompanied with pretty pictures that was only special waaaaaaaaaay back then. My 8 year old son does better graphics than that. You must have a great memory for an old guy. I only remember that the people were tall smurfs and that the forest glowed like it does in about 987349587143587163987639587134685763 pieces of graphics art, which are all better and despite being still pictures they all have better stories to tell than Avatar did. Also, there was a sequel to those tall smurfs? Why?
About Mr Robot, in the second season you actually see that, even if the corporations were hit in some ways, the people were the most damaged , because exactly of what you said (no money for withdrawals, etc...)
This is what I try to tell people I know who are convinced (through the alt-media) that some sort of global economic meltdown is going to happen any day now and, with the banks collapsed, suddenly it'll be all Power To The People. They just refuse to spend enough time researching how **any** of this works in the real world to understand that this econ-pocalypse they're rooting for would screw the little guys far more than "the elite."
People should read the book fight club, then some othe chuck Palahniuk books because most show the schism caused in society by the actions in fight club
I thought the main reason they abolished pre-crime in Minority Report was because Tom Cruise had realized the pre-cogs were being held against their will since being abducted from their families and had never been given a choice and were super traumatized from having to spend their entire lives in sensory deprivation tanks experiencing horrible rapes and murders. Like the mystery of Minority Report ends up being that the guy who founded pre-crime did it by murdering the mother of the main and most powerful pre-cog so he could abduct her daughter and keep her in a sensory deprivation tank to make use of her psychic powers. I know Cracked sometimes misrepresents films on purpose to make a point, and like, yeah, obviously pre-crime worked and the prisons were the dystopian part, but the point ended up being that even though pre-crime does work it's founded on something horrible: the imprisonment and psychological torture of three people who aren't even treated like human beings.
Patrick Hogan It's only okay if you aren't sending them to a mindtorture prison / other cruel option. If 2/3 precogs said you would commit a crime and 1/3 said you wouldn't commit that crime, and you were put under surveillance or given a probation officer to make sure you got therapy, instead of locking you up and throwing away the key, that might be alright. I think he's saying that a rehabilitation-based system with due process instead of a retribution-based system without due process could still work in that universe. Covering up the minority reports instead of acknowledging that the future can change and building it into the system was the problem.
That's so very wrong to a lot of people. Good thing that's not what was being said. It's basically just saying "Hey, you have a way for telling the future. Even if that's not 100% accurate, it's still pretty useful. Just don't treat them as DEFINITELY guilty right away, because they're not."
The precogs predict the future by seeing it through the eyes of the perpetrator and/or witnesses. So yeah, as in general with telepathy, there's the issue of zero privacy. It was unethical to create the precogs. It was unethical to take children with the power to see the future and isolate them and hone their skills. Super unethical to keep them in that ice bath thing. They only see things given that in a future timeline a negative thing happens and ripples backwards for them to notice, so they aren't constantly spying on everyone, just sending surveillance to check out a hunch. It's arguable that they have reason to believe a crime will be committed which gives them the right to investigate. Have you seen the tv show, though? They go into how everyone is always being watched by police facial recognition cameras and there are a bunch of people who get face tattoos to avoid being logged in the system wherever they go. Fun stuff.
The biggest problem I had with minority report like you said comes back to the cold storage, or put more simply that they started locking people up forever for attempted murder when we have laws for attempted murder already(the movie claims it's different because the murder would have actually happened, but that's the case with ALL attempted murder! They would have killed them if something hadn't intervened, and the key point being that there wasn't an actual death of the victim). They're treating attempted murderers worse then we treat actual murderers. It's kinda messed up.
Never saw the movie and never intend to, but the reason our sentences for attempted murder and murder are different is that current law allows for the suspect to halt the action if they change their mind. The premise, as explained in this video, is that the psychics saw it happen. If they saw the suspect not follow through with the crime, then it wasn't a murder. Maybe in the movie they stopped everyone that set out with murderous intent, but the way it was explained here is consistent with our current system, in that way.
They are not in cold storage forever, they relive memories until they become compliant, basically an interpretation of what purgatory would be like in real life
@@teemusid old comment but the answer to your question is in the video: the precogs are fallible, and it was proven when Tom Cruise didn’t commit the crime he was predestined to commit. Of course if one guy didn’t commit the crime it means the precognition could be changed (it’s confirmed we have free will even if the precogs may have seen a different outcome) so maybe some others convicts were also innocent. Another thing that’s not entirely explained in the video but it happens in the movie is stayed murders. One big politician paid a homeless dude to kill a girl, the police stopped the guy way before the crime, great. But then, the politician dressed like the homeless guy, asked the girl to go the same place where the original crime was about to be committed and killed the girl nonetheless. The precogs recognized the “new” murder but because it looks so similar to a previous one the police analysts discard the memory as an old “reverie”.
Hi I'm from the future; 2020 is insane, BUY TOILET PAPER and like a shit tone of DVDs... Oh and they're actually finally doing an avatar sequel... But who cares? The world is basically ending r-now :s... Not kidding about the toilet paper :s
My biggest problem with Avatar is that Sully never tries to actually do his job. He is told he has so much time to get them to move but he never even warns them or even broaches the subject with anyone. He never tells them they are living on top of a rare mineral that his species needs or that it would be in their best interest to move. And then his time is up and he freaks out like he didn't know it they were coming.
The London Has Fallen one is actually a common police/FBI strategy known as the "double-tap". It is used primarily to make absolutely sure the opponent is neutralized and has no chance of attacking back/ becoming a treat in the future. Alternatively, the movie was just showing how much the shooting character hates the other one.
Well, I think Mr Robot season 2 establishes that destroying credit card debt is the first act in revolution to disenfranchise the public's attitude to capitalism
That was not their objective at all. Also most of the stuff they complained about in this video about Mr. Robot was the whole purpose of season two. Their plan didn't work, the government is fucked because it's on the hook for debt, people can't access the money they do possess, etc.
Agreed. Also the main character is insane and cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality. It's a very hard sell for a writer and in this respect it failed because I lost interest in Season 2. These types of stories are better suited to mini-series, IMHO.
Neuroticmancer The show itself is really good, but this is a child's view of how debt and banks work. I know that this is one of the reasons some people didn't like the show, just like fight club it shows an internal struggle against mindless consumerism and our mundane lives, however both characters fail to bring any positive change. Furthermore Elliot realises how insane this idea is and that is why he tries to stop MrRobot later on.
*Why do people always forget that the other side in Avatar aren't military? They're a PMC.* No government is under any obligation to help them, and in fact would probably distance themselves from such a colossal operational failure. The only thing that might happen, is that the company might try again with more contractors. But if they feel the potential financial loss (not to mention loss of life) might be too much, now that they've permanently made an enemy out of the now weaponized natives and the wildlife on the planet as a whole, then they might want to leave well enough alone.
ok, vernacular misstep aside, do you see my point? Because this isn't a GOVERNMENT LED military, the GOVERNMENT is under no obligation to retaliate against the Na'Vi. This wasn't some grand federal venture for the needs of the people. It was all just industrial enterprise that went tits-up when their shady tactics caught up with them. So if the checkbooks don't align with them doubling down on retaliation, then there's fuck-all any government will do. Also, at the beginning of the film, it's said that people are in some form of hypersleep on the way to Pandora for about 6 years. Meaning, any plan that the corporation did to strike back would have to take at LEAST 12 year to come to fruition with. That's a LOOOOONG time to attempt to strike back after being given the information from survivor's of Jake Sully's coup; one where investors would probably go 'yknow what? Nah. Nix this shit and let's move on".
That's a good point but I think you're forgetting the part where Sully talks about how all of Earth is dependent on unobtanium and that the world is energy starved and polluted. Taken in that context, the government has no choice-- the threat is existential. Either secure Pandora by force and get the unobtanium, or struggle with a massive energy crisis and the possible collapse of civilization. Given how high the stakes are, the fact that a PMC was charged with the mission probably speaks volumes to the power of governments on Earth relative to private interests like corporations.
Pretty cool you're senior editor now. Last time I watched cracked (I marathoned like... All of it) but anyway, last time you were locked in the basement.
OK. Iron Man 3. What you're forgetting is that A.) The decision to make all of those suits wasn't, itself, a reasonable, well-thought-out tactic. It was Tony grappling with PTSD and a nightmare (no pun intended, but hey, look at that!) of an anxiety disorder. B.) He IS the Iron Man. He established himself as the SpecOps version of McGuyver in the turning of the second act. He stops thinking of himself as only as good as his suits, meaning he doesn't need to spend all of his time in the garage, tinkering away, as he steadily loses touch with the most grounding influence in his life: Pepper Potts. It's the reason why he gets rid of the Arc Reactor in his chest, the thing that he only has there because of the SHRAPNEL NEAR HIS HEART. He doesn't just have to live with his problems, or try to work around them through artifice, he can do something about them. C.) He machined a complete suit of Iron Man armor in basically three days in IM1, and his manufacturing capabilities have only improved since then. He wasn't getting rid of all of his Iron Man suits, he was getting rid of THOSE Iron Man suits, the ones that symbolized all the psychological strain he was under, while retaining the innovations each suit brought for his Mk. 43, the Iron Legion, and the Veronica suit we see in Avengers 2. It was worth it for him to do for himself and Pepper, and given that he's the only one in the MCU who can do what he does, I'd say that's justification enough.
I gave this video a thumbs up becauae I really do like cracked, but also largely because of his recommendation at the end that you go ahead and comment if only to overreact to something in the video or maybe just in the world right now! I actually laughed out loud!
This vid was you at your best Josh. Well done! Your Minority Report report makes perfect sense. And ya those blue people are for sure gonna glow in the dark, but there will be some bizarre suspension of disbelief that will result in the Navi beating nukes with their togetherness, and folksy wisdom. :)
I thought were only going to be 3 Avatar sequels. S'long as the world's just as cool as in the first, it's all good. Love me my feats of world-building.
She shoots him in the head, and then again in the chest on the ground? That's just terrible direction. In that situation, the first shot should have been center body mass to put him down, and then the head shot on the ground to ensure he was dead. Done that way, it makes more sense, and has more visual impact, especially if they have the shooter pause a half second while aimed at the head. Movies getting the little things right makes it easier to accept the larger points of it, which just makes for a better movie viewing experience overall.
Failed Bard people can live through a single head shot. A double tap further ensures cardiac arrest or at least a bleed out. It doesn't matter what you hit first, just get a shot in, then another. If you don't see enough blood pouring out, go for three, and next time use hollow points.
From a practical standpoint, I agree with you, that a double-tap in either order is as effective. An argument could also be made that head first makes more sense if you have reason to think they might have on some manner of body-armor that would make a body hit ineffective, or at least less effective. At a close range like that, I just see the head as a less reliable target since it takes such a small shift to get it out from the firing line compared to the body. Reality aside, from an artistic standpoint, it just comes across as shooting a dead man on the ground, rather than finishing them off, which would be the intention of the second bullet.
She shoots him in the chest. Look for the blood spray and whatnot, it's at about armpit level. Can't be more specific then that because it wasn't filmed to give a good lateral placement, but the second shot was the gut, which is just... silly. He's also moving when she shoots him the second time.
@@FailedBard see id agree that from an artistic standpoint it would look like just shooting a dead guy if we hadnt seen double and triple taps used throughout the movie, the context of the movie shows professionals go for the double or triple tap, thus it makes logical sense artistically in that moment to also use double tap, even more so as it was someone that it was necessary to make sure they died
Avatar will always be the most overrated movie of all time at least to me it is. I mean really I don't understand how its called one of the greatest movies of all time just because of some good CGI work. I mean most movies from that year onward had good to great CGI not to mention video games have been doing just as great work with animation years before Avatar. So yea lets call it an amazing movie just for the CGI. I mean the plot was as generic as you can get. Not to mention what ever the Blue Natives are called would have been whipped out during that all out attack. I mean they are basically just as advanced as the Native's were facing off against men with muskets. So how the hell would the Blue guys win with basically the same level of weaponry the Natives had going up against a force that has crazy Gundam Suits and Automatic Rifles.
CoClock Hahah its like impossible to sound mature trying to explain Avatar. Remember my friend trying to explain the movie to me because I didn't care if he spoiled it all for me and he spent like 15 minutes trying to explain how they basically have to fuck giant birds in order to ride them. Really the plot for Avatar would be perfect for a video game but not for a movie that many call one of the greatest films of the modern era. Really they may have enhanced speed and strength but the Native Americans were faster stronger and knew the wilderness much better and yet that wasn't enough and they only had to go up against men with Muskets. While the Blue guys from Avatar had to go up against Mech Suits, Automatic Rifles, Explosives, Planes, Choppers and so on. So no matter what I will never believe sticks, stones & animal friends no matter how athletic the users are will ever beat Mech Suits and Auto Rifles not to mention everything else they had.
I disagree that Tom Cruise Character (TCC) over-reacted in Minority Report. Because I'm not sure that the situation with the pre-cogs was ok. Keeping the three of them all drugged up and having daily murder-nightmares and stuff just to keep a demonstrably flawed system of law enforcement going is kinds horrific if you ask me.
Conspiracy to Commit Murder would be the charge there. But actually they openly admit that premeditated murder has ended and its only murders in the moments, acts of passion that still happen. So it would be hard to charge them with that, as temporary insanity is a valid argument for most situations of sudden and severe emotional distress.
The two cases we see in the movie are a guy charging his cheating wife with a pair of scissors and a cop punching a man to the ground and then sticking a gun in his head, isn't that "attempted" enough?
Yes those are called Attempted, and are TWO cases. We see in the prison scene that there are hundreds if not thousands of people there. You think each of those had such clear cases? I mean we see the two attempted scenes because the cops got there seconds before the moment of passion would have resulted in murder. The Husband was not planning to commit murder, he snapped in a moment of passion lost his mind and attempted to stab his wife. I am saying instead of charging them all with attempted, especially if for example the Pre-Cogs see a man who is gonna walk outside, step in dog shit and shoot his neighbor for letting his dog off the leash. And the Pre-Crime stop him before he left the house... then he has done nothing wrong, he has certainly not attempted it yet.
I see. It'd get cluttered in sub rules but it could be done. In reality I think they should have another entirely different class of agents for that type of case. Cops undercover who could go to the guy and just say "Hey what time is it?" to alter the guy's path just enough... Hell maybe even have the cop just say "Hey man there's some dog shit there". Leave the battalions for psychos and for cases where discovering the place takes too long so they'll have to swoop at the last second.
In both the book and the film, it was planned by a psychotic Hollywood schizophrenic. It's kind of moot to point out that he'd "overreacted". Which apocalyptic plan designed by your imaginary insane friend _isn't_ an overreaction?
SockPuppet80 i simply meant that it was true that it served no point nor did not fit with the actual ideologies of the character if you think about it. Which is ok for the movie because it isnt what's important. It's nitpicking, but after seeing the movie 20 times it's something you notice.
I thought Avatar 1 was alarming. Like the part when the guy was driving the battle robot and got speared in the gut with a 7 ft arrow through armored glass, or whatever. I found that shocking egregious violent, or whatever.
I thought the Minority Report issue was that the precogs were basically drugged-up slaves being forced to use their visions that way. Even if precrime was 100% effective, it would be illegal for the precogs to be treated that way, so it had to shut down.
Any Avatar sequel that lasts longer than a 20 minute firework display is 19 minutes longer than it needs to be. To quote Isaac Arthur; "you only need to actually invade if you give a sh*t about preserving the ecology of the planet you intend to take over."
Wow. Went from four kinda funny sardonic observations about overreacting in movies to a concise and intelligent breakdown of how blowing up banks does not help the little guy.
Jake didn't warn the Navi about the imminent orbital bombardment because Jake wasn't there anymore. His body was overridden by Eywa, the spirit of the planet, to unite the clans and force the humans off the planet.
6:06 In both of those instances the characters were identified as crazy and their plans were not displayed in any heroic manner. In Mr Robot Season 2 for example, Elliot's plan is shown to work out terribly for "the little guy" throughout the season. Although, now that I think about it this video is about situations where a movie character overreacts to something and I guess both situations are technically cases of that.
UUUUUU. You buster "Mr. Robot". Thanks! I like that show, but I like your reasoning even better. The same thing could be said to people who are renting against Banks but don't realise that those banks has their own money (money from small people).
okanhawk there was a Deadpool comic where Deadpool doesn't cash in his pay checks because he doesn't trust the bank because Deadpool feels the banks are untrustworthy to give money to.
4 sequels? F***ing hell, I didn't want to see the first one and got dragged to it anyway, maybe the next one will be horrible enough I won't be dragged to the rest.
Last night's Sherlock episode. When Sherlock steals a boat and sails to a high security prison because...his sister might be trying to kill people except that she clearly isn't because she deliberately didn't kill people in previous scenes
"so his only chance was to convince the Navi that violence was gonna end badly for anyone who doesn't understand what ICBM stands for". (4:26) Just.... wow... that made my lungs bleed.
Tony didn't blow up his suits in IM3 because he realized that "the real iron man was inside of him all along", but because he realized that being with Pepper Potts and not being in mortal danger all the f***ng time was more important than being iron man. It's kind of a midlife crisis metaphor "giving up on ones dreams of being a rock star/professional athlete/ biker to settle down and found a family" sorta thing.
Minority Report: If most of the murders in this film are murders of opportunity or jealousy, then stopping the murder at the time it happens would stop the crime completely and there shouldn't be a reason for locking them up, should there?

"I totally support your avenging.' I forgot that line was spoken aloud in a film written by a highly paid and respected filmmaker.
You do know that line is a joke. It's not supposed to be taken seriously.
It's very much a Joss Whedon cutesy-quippy type of line. Have you ever seen Buffy?
Two writers, one script supervisor, one script assistant, two "dialogue editors", and one sadly underappreciated actor were responsible for the writing, direction and delivery of the line "I guess I am a little... nutty." (The killer, "Urban Legend", 1998.) I'll say this for the "Avengers" films: love 'em or hate 'em, they have a lot to live down to.

Good thing the precog system never got taken down then since the entire movie took place within Tom Cruise's mind prison
HotChocletyLez Twist!
Hmmmm...
Ohhhh solid theory !
Hhhhmmmmm
Let me think about that and get back to you.
Eeeeeeeeh?
I thought the main reason they abolished pre-crime in Minority Report was because Tom Cruise had realized the pre-cogs were being held against their will since being abducted from their families and had never been given a choice and were super traumatized from having to spend their entire lives in sensory deprivation tanks experiencing horrible rapes and murders. Like the mystery of Minority Report ends up being that the guy who founded pre-crime did it by murdering the mother of the main and most powerful pre-cog so he could abduct her daughter and keep her in a sensory deprivation tank to make use of her psychic powers. I know Cracked sometimes misrepresents films on purpose to make a point, and like, yeah, obviously pre-crime worked and the prisons were the dystopian part, but the point ended up being that even though pre-crime does work it's founded on something horrible: the imprisonment and psychological torture of three people who aren't even treated like human beings.
Saying it's okay to be wrong about innocent people being guilty as long as we get guilty ones is so very wrong to me.
Patrick Hogan It's only okay if you aren't sending them to a mindtorture prison / other cruel option. If 2/3 precogs said you would commit a crime and 1/3 said you wouldn't commit that crime, and you were put under surveillance or given a probation officer to make sure you got therapy, instead of locking you up and throwing away the key, that might be alright. I think he's saying that a rehabilitation-based system with due process instead of a retribution-based system without due process could still work in that universe. Covering up the minority reports instead of acknowledging that the future can change and building it into the system was the problem.
That's so very wrong to a lot of people. Good thing that's not what was being said. It's basically just saying "Hey, you have a way for telling the future. Even if that's not 100% accurate, it's still pretty useful. Just don't treat them as DEFINITELY guilty right away, because they're not."
But what do these things say about privacy? I mean, should all of our DNA and information be on file just in case we commit a crime?
The precogs predict the future by seeing it through the eyes of the perpetrator and/or witnesses. So yeah, as in general with telepathy, there's the issue of zero privacy. It was unethical to create the precogs. It was unethical to take children with the power to see the future and isolate them and hone their skills. Super unethical to keep them in that ice bath thing. They only see things given that in a future timeline a negative thing happens and ripples backwards for them to notice, so they aren't constantly spying on everyone, just sending surveillance to check out a hunch. It's arguable that they have reason to believe a crime will be committed which gives them the right to investigate. Have you seen the tv show, though? They go into how everyone is always being watched by police facial recognition cameras and there are a bunch of people who get face tattoos to avoid being logged in the system wherever they go. Fun stuff.

But then, the politician dressed like the homeless guy, asked the girl to go the same place where the original crime was about to be committed and killed the girl nonetheless. The precogs recognized the “new” murder but because it looks so similar to a previous one the police analysts discard the memory as an old “reverie”.
Hey I'm from the future, there's still no avatar sequel by 2019
Hi I'm from the future; 2020 is insane, BUY TOILET PAPER and like a shit tone of DVDs... Oh and they're actually finally doing an avatar sequel... But who cares? The world is basically ending r-now :s... Not kidding about the toilet paper :s
No need the sequel
My biggest problem with Avatar is that Sully never tries to actually do his job. He is told he has so much time to get them to move but he never even warns them or even broaches the subject with anyone. He never tells them they are living on top of a rare mineral that his species needs or that it would be in their best interest to move. And then his time is up and he freaks out like he didn't know it they were coming.
The London Has Fallen one is actually a common police/FBI strategy known as the "double-tap". It is used primarily to make absolutely sure the opponent is neutralized and has no chance of attacking back/ becoming a treat in the future. Alternatively, the movie was just showing how much the shooting character hates the other one.
I just burst out laughing in the cafeteria...this channel is golden
Love how you call House of Cards a documentary! Spot on my friend haha :D
Avatar: Dances With Wolves staring blue cats.
You're right
Well, I think Mr Robot season 2 establishes that destroying credit card debt is the first act in revolution to disenfranchise the public's attitude to capitalism
Neuroticmancer Jibberish
That was not their objective at all. Also most of the stuff they complained about in this video about Mr. Robot was the whole purpose of season two. Their plan didn't work, the government is fucked because it's on the hook for debt, people can't access the money they do possess, etc.
Agreed. Also the main character is insane and cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality. It's a very hard sell for a writer and in this respect it failed because I lost interest in Season 2. These types of stories are better suited to mini-series, IMHO.
Neuroticmancer The show itself is really good, but this is a child's view of how debt and banks work. I know that this is one of the reasons some people didn't like the show, just like fight club it shows an internal struggle against mindless consumerism and our mundane lives, however both characters fail to bring any positive change.
Furthermore Elliot realises how insane this idea is and that is why he tries to stop MrRobot later on.
Artie ok, we don't know at the moment so there's no point debating it. When the show finishes, I will say I'm wrong if I'm wrong
i should sleep but oh wait here's some cracked
118 minutes does NOT equal 2 and a half hours. Math!
I hope you guys continue with your list videos having a narrator instead of just text, makes it much more enjoyable.
I think yours are the best Cracked videos around. Great job!! Thanks.
I had forgotten about why I ever liked Cracked in the first place for a long while there. Thanks for the reminder, Josh
*Why do people always forget that the other side in Avatar aren't military? They're a PMC.* No government is under any obligation to help them, and in fact would probably distance themselves from such a colossal operational failure. The only thing that might happen, is that the company might try again with more contractors. But if they feel the potential financial loss (not to mention loss of life) might be too much, now that they've permanently made an enemy out of the now weaponized natives and the wildlife on the planet as a whole, then they might want to leave well enough alone.
what does the M in PMC stand for?
ok, vernacular misstep aside, do you see my point? Because this isn't a GOVERNMENT LED military, the GOVERNMENT is under no obligation to retaliate against the Na'Vi. This wasn't some grand federal venture for the needs of the people. It was all just industrial enterprise that went tits-up when their shady tactics caught up with them. So if the checkbooks don't align with them doubling down on retaliation, then there's fuck-all any government will do. Also, at the beginning of the film, it's said that people are in some form of hypersleep on the way to Pandora for about 6 years. Meaning, any plan that the corporation did to strike back would have to take at LEAST 12 year to come to fruition with. That's a LOOOOONG time to attempt to strike back after being given the information from survivor's of Jake Sully's coup; one where investors would probably go 'yknow what? Nah. Nix this shit and let's move on".
But they have "space oil"... They need freedom
Because the government would NEVER find an excuse to fund a war for private interests, especially energy concerns.
That's a good point but I think you're forgetting the part where Sully talks about how all of Earth is dependent on unobtanium and that the world is energy starved and polluted.
Taken in that context, the government has no choice-- the threat is existential. Either secure Pandora by force and get the unobtanium, or struggle with a massive energy crisis and the possible collapse of civilization. Given how high the stakes are, the fact that a PMC was charged with the mission probably speaks volumes to the power of governments on Earth relative to private interests like corporations.
Sargent's giggle-fit over the second gunshot? Golden.
Rule #2: Double Tap.
IT WAS PRETTY GOD DAMN ADORABLE.
Overreaction complete.
Seriously though, I think that's legally overkill at that point.
I can always count on Cracked for my 2am youtube fix
Oh, you are dangerously likable. Good video! Hoping for more.
This was great. More of this please. Immediately.
You know, I normally don't like your stuff, but this was pretty funny. Well played, Josh.
FOUR, Dances with smurfs is Getting 4 squels?!?
10 more hours of Sam Worthington showing no emotional range.
If they find a reason to bring back Stephen Lang from the dead I'd probably still watch them though
+The End is Night He's back in all of them so..you win. Hopefully. So long as the movies don't suck.
James Cameron has to do something with his retirement. Just humour him.
I like totally support your cracking.
A spoken Cracked video. That's a great way to start the day. Also, I'd really like to unlearn about those Avatar sequels. One movie was bad enough.
I have a huge crush on the skinny dude with the tattoo
SvemirZeka who wouldn't
Pretty cool you're senior editor now. Last time I watched cracked (I marathoned like... All of it) but anyway, last time you were locked in the basement.
J F Sargent is easily one of my favorite content producers on the internet right now. Nice work, as always, sir.
OK. Iron Man 3. What you're forgetting is that A.) The decision to make all of those suits wasn't, itself, a reasonable, well-thought-out tactic. It was Tony grappling with PTSD and a nightmare (no pun intended, but hey, look at that!) of an anxiety disorder. B.) He IS the Iron Man. He established himself as the SpecOps version of McGuyver in the turning of the second act. He stops thinking of himself as only as good as his suits, meaning he doesn't need to spend all of his time in the garage, tinkering away, as he steadily loses touch with the most grounding influence in his life: Pepper Potts. It's the reason why he gets rid of the Arc Reactor in his chest, the thing that he only has there because of the SHRAPNEL NEAR HIS HEART. He doesn't just have to live with his problems, or try to work around them through artifice, he can do something about them. C.) He machined a complete suit of Iron Man armor in basically three days in IM1, and his manufacturing capabilities have only improved since then. He wasn't getting rid of all of his Iron Man suits, he was getting rid of THOSE Iron Man suits, the ones that symbolized all the psychological strain he was under, while retaining the innovations each suit brought for his Mk. 43, the Iron Legion, and the Veronica suit we see in Avengers 2. It was worth it for him to do for himself and Pepper, and given that he's the only one in the MCU who can do what he does, I'd say that's justification enough.
I gave this video a thumbs up becauae I really do like cracked, but also largely because of his recommendation at the end that you go ahead and comment if only to overreact to something in the video or maybe just in the world right now! I actually laughed out loud!
I think the point of minority report was also to show how it's kinda morally unethical to imprison people for something they haven't done yet.
Popping the guy twice in the parking garage to make sure? Not a bad move if you want to make sure he's dead.
Guys, I will always support YOUR avenging.
This vid was you at your best Josh. Well done! Your Minority Report report makes perfect sense. And ya those blue people are for sure gonna glow in the dark, but there will be some bizarre suspension of disbelief that will result in the Navi beating nukes with their togetherness, and folksy wisdom. :)
I thought were only going to be 3 Avatar sequels. S'long as the world's just as cool as in the first, it's all good. Love me my feats of world-building.
I like you josh. Can you be in more cracked videos please? Because this was really good
She shoots him in the head, and then again in the chest on the ground? That's just terrible direction. In that situation, the first shot should have been center body mass to put him down, and then the head shot on the ground to ensure he was dead.
Done that way, it makes more sense, and has more visual impact, especially if they have the shooter pause a half second while aimed at the head.
Movies getting the little things right makes it easier to accept the larger points of it, which just makes for a better movie viewing experience overall.
Failed Bard people can live through a single head shot. A double tap further ensures cardiac arrest or at least a bleed out. It doesn't matter what you hit first, just get a shot in, then another. If you don't see enough blood pouring out, go for three, and next time use hollow points.
From a practical standpoint, I agree with you, that a double-tap in either order is as effective. An argument could also be made that head first makes more sense if you have reason to think they might have on some manner of body-armor that would make a body hit ineffective, or at least less effective.
At a close range like that, I just see the head as a less reliable target since it takes such a small shift to get it out from the firing line compared to the body.
Reality aside, from an artistic standpoint, it just comes across as shooting a dead man on the ground, rather than finishing them off, which would be the intention of the second bullet.
She shoots him in the chest. Look for the blood spray and whatnot, it's at about armpit level. Can't be more specific then that because it wasn't filmed to give a good lateral placement, but the second shot was the gut, which is just... silly. He's also moving when she shoots him the second time.
Maybe just REEEAAALLLLYYYY wanted to shoot him again. Wasnt for affect so much as for the shear joy of shooting someone your fuckin HATE!
@@FailedBard see id agree that from an artistic standpoint it would look like just shooting a dead guy if we hadnt seen double and triple taps used throughout the movie, the context of the movie shows professionals go for the double or triple tap, thus it makes logical sense artistically in that moment to also use double tap, even more so as it was someone that it was necessary to make sure they died
So in 2020 and there’s still no Avatar sequel, never mind 4 haha
Avatar will always be the most overrated movie of all time at least to me it is. I mean really I don't understand how its called one of the greatest movies of all time just because of some good CGI work. I mean most movies from that year onward had good to great CGI not to mention video games have been doing just as great work with animation years before Avatar. So yea lets call it an amazing movie just for the CGI. I mean the plot was as generic as you can get. Not to mention what ever the Blue Natives are called would have been whipped out during that all out attack. I mean they are basically just as advanced as the Native's were facing off against men with muskets. So how the hell would the Blue guys win with basically the same level of weaponry the Natives had going up against a force that has crazy Gundam Suits and Automatic Rifles.
You make a good point there.
tony quad I suppose they stood a chance because they're like, Blue Giants..... not quite sure how mature I sounded there........... yup. Nope.
CoClock Hahah its like impossible to sound mature trying to explain Avatar. Remember my friend trying to explain the movie to me because I didn't care if he spoiled it all for me and he spent like 15 minutes trying to explain how they basically have to fuck giant birds in order to ride them. Really the plot for Avatar would be perfect for a video game but not for a movie that many call one of the greatest films of the modern era. Really they may have enhanced speed and strength but the Native Americans were faster stronger and knew the wilderness much better and yet that wasn't enough and they only had to go up against men with Muskets. While the Blue guys from Avatar had to go up against Mech Suits, Automatic Rifles, Explosives, Planes, Choppers and so on. So no matter what I will never believe sticks, stones & animal friends no matter how athletic the users are will ever beat Mech Suits and Auto Rifles not to mention everything else they had.
tony quad you make a good point there.
It won't always be the most overrated.
Just wait for the sequels.
Great video.
josh kinda looks like me if I wore glasses and was also a junkie
In regards to the avatar sequels I enjoy the theory about how once Jake plugged into the massive alien Hive mind it reprogrammed him to switch sides.
"I'm senior editor Josh Sergeant and I know the reasons you play games!"
I disagree that Tom Cruise Character (TCC) over-reacted in Minority Report. Because I'm not sure that the situation with the pre-cogs was ok. Keeping the three of them all drugged up and having daily murder-nightmares and stuff just to keep a demonstrably flawed system of law enforcement going is kinds horrific if you ask me.
This guy is the friend you avoid speaking to as much as possible.
Glad this video went to Fight Club, bc I was definitely thinking "Sarge's hair follows the same arc as Tyler Durden's" at the start of this.
no over reaction :) i find your character to be lovely and enjoy watching your videos :)
Keep it up!! :D
talking about mr. robot without spoilers. good job. no honestly, not ironically... i mean it: good job.
There is a crime called attempted murder. You could just prosecute the people for that.
But attempting it and just planing it is still different.
Conspiracy to Commit Murder would be the charge there. But actually they openly admit that premeditated murder has ended and its only murders in the moments, acts of passion that still happen. So it would be hard to charge them with that, as temporary insanity is a valid argument for most situations of sudden and severe emotional distress.
The two cases we see in the movie are a guy charging his cheating wife with a pair of scissors and a cop punching a man to the ground and then sticking a gun in his head, isn't that "attempted" enough?
Yes those are called Attempted, and are TWO cases. We see in the prison scene that there are hundreds if not thousands of people there. You think each of those had such clear cases? I mean we see the two attempted scenes because the cops got there seconds before the moment of passion would have resulted in murder. The Husband was not planning to commit murder, he snapped in a moment of passion lost his mind and attempted to stab his wife. I am saying instead of charging them all with attempted, especially if for example the Pre-Cogs see a man who is gonna walk outside, step in dog shit and shoot his neighbor for letting his dog off the leash. And the Pre-Crime stop him before he left the house... then he has done nothing wrong, he has certainly not attempted it yet.
I see.
It'd get cluttered in sub rules but it could be done.
In reality I think they should have another entirely different class of agents for that type of case. Cops undercover who could go to the guy and just say "Hey what time is it?" to alter the guy's path just enough... Hell maybe even have the cop just say "Hey man there's some dog shit there".
Leave the battalions for psychos and for cases where discovering the place takes too long so they'll have to swoop at the last second.
this video in 3 words: 4 avatar sequals.
Your grate. I love your videos. You should have your own channel
Loved this!!😘✨👍🏾 ‘Don’t blow up banks!’ 😂😃🤣🤦🏾♀️ Be safe, stay inside!!
fight club thing was so true. In the book it was a museum.
In both the book and the film, it was planned by a psychotic Hollywood schizophrenic. It's kind of moot to point out that he'd "overreacted". Which apocalyptic plan designed by your imaginary insane friend _isn't_ an overreaction?
SockPuppet80 i simply meant that it was true that it served no point nor did not fit with the actual ideologies of the character if you think about it. Which is ok for the movie because it isnt what's important. It's nitpicking, but after seeing the movie 20 times it's something you notice.
"4 avatar sequels" = "4 really fucking terrible as all flaming shit movies"
crypto66 but visually impressive all the same
crypto66 why do they have to be terrible movies tho...they can be as good as the first
tayo turan yeah but the first, while it looks great, has such a bad plot
I thought Avatar 1 was alarming.
Like the part when the guy was driving the battle robot and got speared in the gut with a 7 ft arrow through armored glass, or whatever. I found that shocking egregious violent, or whatever.
Grunchy really? You think it's alarming that there's some violence?
my body is ready for 4 more avatar movies
shooting people after they are down is a great way to make sure that they don`t come back in the sequel !
oh my god that unforgiven line killed me.
I thought the Minority Report issue was that the precogs were basically drugged-up slaves being forced to use their visions that way. Even if precrime was 100% effective, it would be illegal for the precogs to be treated that way, so it had to shut down.
About Minority Report one could argue that since Tom Cruise's character knew that he would commit murder it was easy to avoid doing so.
Any Avatar sequel that lasts longer than a 20 minute firework display is 19 minutes longer than it needs to be. To quote Isaac Arthur; "you only need to actually invade if you give a sh*t about preserving the ecology of the planet you intend to take over."
where is the real cracked youtoob channel... you know, the one with the good funny stuff...
Are we putting on weight to remake the Machinist? looking good!
Dear Josh,
Do you even eat?
Sincerely, someone with eyes
Kudos to you for being the first non Italian I've ever seen to say mooke. Seriously, I thought that would never happen.
Great video
This is great. :)
Wow. Went from four kinda funny sardonic observations about overreacting in movies to a concise and intelligent breakdown of how blowing up banks does not help the little guy.
Jake didn't warn the Navi about the imminent orbital bombardment because Jake wasn't there anymore. His body was overridden by Eywa, the spirit of the planet, to unite the clans and force the humans off the planet.
Well done!
maybe the Avatar sequels are going to be a "choose your adventure" thing where there are 4 different timelines depending on which you watch
6:06 In both of those instances the characters were identified as crazy and their plans were not displayed in any heroic manner. In Mr Robot Season 2 for example, Elliot's plan is shown to work out terribly for "the little guy" throughout the season. Although, now that I think about it this video is about situations where a movie character overreacts to something and I guess both situations are technically cases of that.
I love him... I like when he does videos
this episode was so true though. . like seriously
Lol, even 4 years ago when everyone WAS talking about Avatar, I knew there would be no sequels.
Now it's 2021, still no sequel
UUUUUU. You buster "Mr. Robot". Thanks! I like that show, but I like your reasoning even better. The same thing could be said to people who are renting against Banks but don't realise that those banks has their own money (money from small people).
He's right though about though about the banks thing. Marvel made a comic about that.
Light Yagami What comic?
okanhawk there was a Deadpool comic where Deadpool doesn't cash in his pay checks because he doesn't trust the bank because Deadpool feels the banks are untrustworthy to give money to.
Avatar is a good movie in the same way cotton candy is a good snack. It's fun while it lasted, but leaves no lasting impression.
4 sequels? F***ing hell, I didn't want to see the first one and got dragged to it anyway, maybe the next one will be horrible enough I won't be dragged to the rest.
Last night's Sherlock episode.
When Sherlock steals a boat and sails to a high security prison because...his sister might be trying to kill people except that she clearly isn't because she deliberately didn't kill people in previous scenes
Nevermind that Jake Sully was supposed to explain why they wanted the metal which he never even tried to do.
You're so odd, AND I LOVE THAT!!!!
Seriously though, keep up the odd. The world is a better place for it.
Antoine Fuqua is an underrated directer man, he's great
London has fallen: she shoots him twice. So what? Ever heard of double tap? Got to make sure the sucker is down for good.
"so his only chance was to convince the Navi that violence was gonna end badly for anyone who doesn't understand what ICBM stands for". (4:26) Just.... wow... that made my lungs bleed.
Tony didn't blow up his suits in IM3 because he realized that "the real iron man was inside of him all along", but because he realized that being with Pepper Potts and not being in mortal danger all the f***ng time was more important than being iron man. It's kind of a midlife crisis metaphor "giving up on ones dreams of being a rock star/professional athlete/ biker to settle down and found a family" sorta thing.
Minority Report: If most of the murders in this film are murders of opportunity or jealousy, then stopping the murder at the time it happens would stop the crime completely and there shouldn't be a reason for locking them up, should there?
"Next year when the first of 4 sequels..." lmao not exactly correct 😂
This guy thinks imprisoning people in pools and then arresting people who have never committed a crime is a good thing.
"cuz then they can just sit around and crochet".....I'm crocheting while watching this....
Any tension the Avatar sequels try and build up is going to be instantly undermined the fact that there are more sequels on the way.
I feel like almost every decision in civil war could feet in this category
