agreed, some mystery's don't need answers, especially when told poorly or incorrectly.
Dracula Untold was probably the best Dracula movie tbh. It even fits with modern movies trying to make bad guys sympathetic. Which I dislike mostly, but I feel like Dracula needed an origin story.
Plus irl supposedly he kinda was defending his kingdom just like any other warlord leader of the Time. So he wasn't good or bad irl.
And I think it's the best display of the powers he brings to the table. That thunderstorm to block the sun so he and his ghouls could fight during the day...
@@benlevan5645 that was pretty epic flex
I liked Dracula untold...
i did too
Same here. I had a lot of fun watching it, and Luke did a great job. Plus, Dance is fantastic in everything he does, great choice for the master vampire.
a fun, good movie, the cast did a great job, it had some missteps, but altogether a creative take on Dracula story, with excellent historical view upon the Turks.
@@allanallan2171 same. Didn't think I would. Usually hate trying to turn Dracula sympathetic.
Highlanders timeline and retocns were a mess. The movies are still decent but it could have been an epic franchise if handled properly.
Highlander II doesn't exist in my personal head canon.
George Lucas said way back in the 80's that parts 4-6 were the redemption of Darth Vader and 1-3 would be about his fall, so yes, as soon as the prequels moved forward the turn to the dark side was a given.
Actually, there was a Hannibal Rising novel from the author of The Silence of the Lambs. The origin story was ALWAYS there.
You are correct however context is key. The author never wanted to write the Hannibal Rising novel however he was essentially forced to do it by the film studio who owned the rights to tie alongside with the movie. They wanted a prequel to essentially milk as much money out of the franchise as they could, in spite of the fact that the original author never wanted an origin story for Hannibal.
@TheIrishdriveby Now that I didn't know. Thank you for explaining. I was aware of Red Dragon (which became Manhunter), but didn't realise there hadn't been the previous prequel.
@@KittyKatt_Luna80s it probably explains why the Rising novel and film are pretty bad. Author had absolutely no interest in doing it and the studio probably didn’t care about the quality either, they just wanted to make more money off the franchise. Hannibal Lector as a character doesn’t really need an origin story
@@TheIrishdriveby I can get that. To the author, it was a TRILOGY. I can see why he was narked by the request to expand on his own story.
If Harris didn't write it, the studio would have employed someone who would, and we may have gotten something even worse than the dirge ".....Rising" was
That wasn’t the ‘Blair Witch’ in Blair Witch; Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett clarified that in interviews at the time. One would think y’all at What Culture would’ve know that…
@WitchesCat I find your faith in What Culture disturbing 😂 there's no way their researchers looked past "the witch makes an appearance in the sequel" 🤣
Anyone who wants to write or direct fiction needs to know which mysteries must be answered and which must remain as an enigma.
That was not the witch in Blair Witch, the film didn't explain sh_t clearly which is why I like it.
Man the Alien one had the entire fandom pissed. I grew up thinking they were a species from another planet, just to find out they were made by robots using human DNA. Shyt felt cheap and lazy.
Literally had this chat with my dad earlier. Plot holes or just awful story telling ?
Such a big disappointment 😢. Although thank god with Predator they did say that the creatures were from another planet although I remember the Aliens being from the same planet and had a war with them
There is an explicit origin story for Dracula in the novel. He attended a school of witches to learn how to become a vampire and was a warrior who fought the Turks.
That sure isn't in the novel!

Chapter 18: "He must have been that Voivode Dracula who won his nameagainst the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land. If it be so, then he was no common man; for in that ime, and for centuries after, he was spoken of as the cleverest and the most cunning, as well as the bravest of the sons of the 'land beyond the forest.' That mighty brain and that iron resolution went with him to his grave and are even now arrayed against us. The Draculas were, says Arminius, a great and noble race, though now and again were scions who were help by their coevals to have had dealings with the Evil One. They learned his secrets in the Scholomance, amongst the mountains over Lake Hermanstadt, where the devil claims the tenth scholar as his due. In the records are such words as 'stregoica' - witch, 'ordog' and 'pokol' - Satan and hell, and in one manuscript this very Dracula is spoken of as 'wampyr' which we all understand too well."
Chapter 23: "I have studied, over and over again since they came into my hands, all the papers relating to this monster, and the more I have studied, the greater seems the necessity to utterly stamp him out. All through there are signs of his advance; not only of his power, but of his knowledge of it. As I learned from the researches of my friend Arminus of Buda-Pesth, he was in life a most wonderful man. Soldier, statesman, and alchemist - which latter was the highest development of the science-knowledge of his time. He had a mighty brain, a learning beyond compare, and a heart that knew no fear and no remorse. He dared even to attend the Scholomance, and there was no branch of knowledge of his time he did not essay."

Chapt 18: I have asked my friend Arminius, of Buda-Pesth University, to make his record; and, from all the means that are, he tell me of what he has been. He must, indeed, have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land. If it be so, then was he no common man; for in that time, and for centuries after, he was spoken of as the cleverest and the most cunning, as well as the bravest of the sons of the ‘land beyond the forest.’ That mighty brain and that iron resolution went with him to his grave, and are even now arrayed against us.

You guys confused the movie “Leatherface” with “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning” 🤦♂️
No they didn’t. I don’t think . Did they?
@@justaguy7230 yeah he was showing scenes from and describing what happened in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, how ever he was referring to it as Leatherface which is an entry in the franchise that came out 10 years after the Beginning came out and wasn’t even part of that timeline 😂 The Beginning is a prequel to the 2003 remake
Haha. Didn’t notice that. They both suck but leatherface is much worse, in my opinion. Classic whatculture.
@@justaguy7230 that we can agree on haha. Leatherface is pretty dreadful with one of the worst twists I’ve seen in a horror movie 😂
Uh, Dracula’s back story has been known since his introduction. It was always intended to be Vlad Tepes.
I pretend Ridley Scotts destruction of his only two masterpieces doesn’t exist.
Well it's television, but we didn't need to see Mrs. Colombo
This.👆
We also didn’t need to see Jenny Piccolo in Happy Days, Sheldon’s Mee Maw in Big Bang Theory, Norm’s wife Vera in Cheers, or any other person that was mentioned a lot but never seen.
@@tedhaulley9885I think that's the major up for Frasier- there can truly never be a live action Merris, because they basically made her an impossible person via descriptor
I do enjoy Dracula Untold as a guilty pleasure 😅
"Alkali Lake," not Alakai Lake. Sorry.
Leatherface was never an unanswered question. At no point in that franchise was his origin unknown.
Okay, I disagree on Donnie Darko. Considering HE was reading the book, he didn't have to figure anything out, as you suggested.
7:13 “Alaki Lake”? 😂
A bullet would only momentarily make wolverine not remember anything because his brain heals all the way Everytime.
It's explained in the comics that his amnesia is caused by his healing factor. Essentially his healing treats psychological trauma as wound and wipes away memories as a result.
The bullet thing was ridiculous. Before all that nonsense I always thought it was the trauma of the bonding procedure that caused him to supporters his memories.
Highlander II suffered because the government of Argentina (I think that was the particular country where it was filmed in part) wanted it made into a sci fi film or they were going to refuse funding. That's why the (slightly) better "Renegade Version" removes all references to Zeist.
I own a copy and it came with a booklet to tell you what all had been done to rearrange it
@@nv4699 Nice. That must have been from the original "Renegade Version" release. I wish I had the booklet. I have the _Highlander 2_ special edition DVD, which has documentaries and such explaining what a travesty the development was. I definitely prefer the "distant past" version.
@@Revan2908 yeah because it explains all the changes and how some scenes were swapped out that sort of thing. You may be able to locate a used version of it somewhere.
You have to remember that Kenobi says he was seduced. As he was not there when Anikin turned to the darkside Kenobi is right from his point of view
Leatherface: based on an actual event. There was the very dark man named Ed Gein. Looked him up on Wikipedia. Another film referenced Gein….Psycho.
Also the inspiration for Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs
@@brannonhill4046 of course!
Lets not forget he's "the late great Hannibal Lecter". A reference to one of the stupidest people on Earth. 1:48
"ONE OF" all the others have their heads up Uranus!BIGLY COFEVE 😹
The video game Aliens Vs Predator 2 does a much better job explaining the history of the xenomorphs.
I love that game. They really knew how to build a properly terrifying atmosphere to the game.
RIP Gaspard Ulliel
The problem with Wolverine's Origin is that are still making a 'superhero' movie. One of main reason why Marvel actually have an 'Origin' graphic novel for him was precisely because they were worried that if Marvel don't, then the movies will. And the comics were great. The movie, not so much. And Highlander II does not exist in my head canon.
Also Anakin was still seduced by the power of the dark side. Because Palpatine told him earlier about Darth Plageus and the ability to bring back people as well as create life. He literally tells him way earlier than you want to realize. THATS why he went dark side
I like the director's cut of Donnie Darko. Sorry, not sorry.
You know, in The Blair Witch. I always thought the creature hunting the group wasn't the witch, but Heather mutilated body
Sigh, another great idea for a video, and another great presentation. All it needs is an ending : " That was ten times the mystery box was ruined by opening it. How many of these disappointed you, Can you think of any other great unexplained mysteries you don't want answered? Let us know down in the comments. If you want more intriguing videos like this, make sure to like, subscribe and hit that bell. I've been your host ____, this is what culture, thanks for watching, and see you next time." takes only a few seconds, makes a world of difference.
and by the way, Mediclorians.....a force sensitive blood infection, It stopped the movie dead, and surgically removed all the fantasy going forward. There were many people asking to know the back story of Darth Vader, nobody was asking for Mediclorians.
"Wow, whatculture. Hire this man."
We all say in unison
Young Hannibal reminds me of Aemond Targaryen
That was not the Blair Witch, it was Heather from the first movie. Deformed and punished for trespassing in the area...
You should have included 'Pearl' on this list. We really didn't need to know her backstory. 'X' stands on it's own quite nicely. We also didn't need the Star Wars prequel trilogy about Anakin. We could have done just fine without them. We don't need to know EVERY backstory for EVERY character in cinema.
Alien was an alien. It's origin can really be that simple.
To question Blade Runner's Final Cut as bad or unnecessary is equal to insanity or basic movie illiteracy.
The origins of the late, great, Hannibal Lecter. Mads Mikkelson does make a great Lecter.
I UNDERSTOOD THAT BIGLY COFEVE REFERENCE!😹
@@patrickdoyle6201 if they make another Meg or Jaws type movie they need to have the people on a sinking electric boat
Except the screeenwriter has stated themlarge creature in Blair Witch is not the witch.
I liked the director's cut of Donnie Darko. I could actually understand what the hell was going on.
They never answered the question if Deckard was a replicant.
The only thing I hated about "Leatherface" origin was the one you expected to become the iconic killer was killed and we got a no-name person taking that position instead. 💁🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
How does this channel have 2.2 million subscribers and only 73 comments on this video...
Honestly I always do love a good character origin story. But damn the X Men Origins Wolverine movie did disappoint because it focused too much on action instead of the actual origins! Even Hugh Jackman said he wanted the movie to focus more on the character and not the action but the director and producers said no. Such a big mistake done by them. Although as a X Men fan I still liked the movie 😂😅
I saw the directors cut if Donnie Darko before anything else and I thought it was amazing. I didn't think it ruined anything. I dont think understanding more about the time travel took away any mystery or brilliance.
Why the need to demystify everything?
Total agreement.
Indeed. The reveal about the engineers and the xenomorph's origins in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant were infuriating. It was so much better, and more terrifying, when the origin of both species were completely unknown. It was lore that just didn't need to be messed with or retconned at all. For me, the Alien series ends at the end of Alien 3. Everything that came afterwards just doesn't do the series any justice whatsoever.
Missed the point in Revenge of the Sith, didn't you!
Bram Stoker's Dracula gave a much better Dracula origin story in 10 minutes than the full movie devoted to it.
There is no origin story in the book. Dracula just is.
Your delivery on on this sounds bored and disinterested. Perfect for the subject matter, well done Ewan.
Thats not the witch! The directors have said this
I liked Revenge of the Sith. It was good imo
That wasn't the Blair witch..
nah missed the mark this time on this one WC. it was interesting to know some of the back story on some of these movies/people.
I enjoyed hanibal rising and wolverine
The Prequels are sequences of brilliance followed by sequences of bad execution, repeat.
Midi-chlorians 😐
Not trying to overgeneralize with oblivious positivity and unwavering support for all of cinematic star wars outings, but.... I personally think Anakin was tricked, yes, but that's because he was "seduced" by the extremely tempting and alluring idea of saving his love (of course not realizing he fell into a sort of self fulfilling prophecy). It's simple and one could argue it was underwhelming but bc of emotions and the power they can impact anyone, it's hard not to acknowledge that's all it took
Not to mention star wars history of subjectivity in characterization ("from a certain point of view")
Just saying that "from my point of view" it shouldn't have been on this list 😂
Be honest with yourself, you know youd be begging for explaination with many other fans if they never at least touched on it further. Just bc you didn't love an answer doesn't mean it was unnecessary
A very questionable video (again by whatculture) to put it mildly - To question Blade Runner's Final Cut as bad or unnecessary is equal to insanity or basic movie illiteracy.

I think the worst origin story is the Joker. It actually turns him into the victim. He isn't evil, he was just abused.
All mysteries should be answered.
Why?
Today's filmmakers truly believe they are doing something unique, when in fact, they are doing the same thing filmmakers in the 1950's had done, giving too much unecessary information to explain what is what and who is who and why. Dumb then and dumb now.
I think joker is another. I liked the film but I feel like it was better when we didn't know who he was
In a way we still don't. His "mother" stole him from his birth parents if I remember correctly.
Aren't there at least a 1/2 a dozen Jokers (Romero, Nicholson, Hamill, Ledger, Phoenix)
@patrickdoyle6201 Yeah. And you could ignore it and say its not canon. But for me it took away that mystery about the joker. Ironically I did actually like the film despite thinking this
@@chrismonks592 I mean you could also imagine it was *ALL*in Fleck's head, *NOTHING* in JOKER actually happened and the most reliable narrator is ironically Heath Ledger's version 🃏
@patrickdoyle6201 Perhaps Fleck watched the dark Knight rises and imagined the whole thing. And so we still don't know where Ledgers joker came from
