whoa just watched army of thieves... if this theory is true or part true then IF we got sequel to army of the dead we might see all the army of the dead cast again.. NICE
Dieter is the best character in both movies you can't help love him, first time watching army of the dead i wasn't to crazy about him now with army of thieves rounding it out i love him
I have to agree as well! Usually, I'm more into the alpha type characters, but in both the army of thieves and the army of the dead, he is definitely my favorite character. I love his wit and overall intelligence. Plus, he just seems like a good guy.
Thought that the idea of closing the safe in the movie represented the idea of Schrödinger’s cat. The person in the safe is both alive and dead in a way. Just my thoughts lol.
When he gets away on the train after being betrayed he asks himself how he was able to perform all the tasks it required to evade the police. Also a tip of the cap to a cycle he’s likely already lived!
When Batista's character asked about the vault, on Army of the Dead. They went straight to Dieter. But on Army of Thieves, they went to the Old Man first, before they went to Dieter and Dieter mentions "so you asked the old man about something, and then he led you to me"
@@cellarart.9232 not gonna lie, there could have been a better timeline where they actually lived but we might see that either on Planet of the Dead or a Repeat Cycle Army of the Dead Sequel
so if the “cycle begins anew” once the Götterdämmerung is opened… it would be really cool if Army of Thieves isn’t just a prequel but the start of another cycle!! One where Dieter finally remembers the previous cycle and saves them all hahaha
I have a strange feeling that Hans Wagner and Sebastian are just the same person, just traveled back in time to see if he can reunite with Gwendoline. What do you guys think?
@@tylerdurden722 for the same reason you'd like Mark Hamill to be Luke Skywalker in the mandalorian. Or would you like someone other than Brad Pitt playing Tyler Durden in Fight Club?
tbh, i am not fans of army of the dead when its first came out, always feel likes something is missing in that movie and too many characters died, but after watch army of thieves, and watched this video, it really opened my mind, and i can't wait for the next sequel.. if this loop shit come true, it really is mindblowing...
I could careless if Zack Snyder is going to direct the sequel. Army of the Dead felt “meh” at best. Army of Thieves was sooooooo much better, and was directed by Matthias Schweighöfer (aka Dieter). Someone pull away Zack Snyder from this project and let Matthias Schweighöfer take the reins.
I'm almost sure that he's going to return in the next movie. All the characters that died in Army of the death we saw their deaths, but we didn't see Dieter's death. If I don't see it, I don't believe it
@@monster_peas8257 idk 🤷🏻♂️ Snyder himself said dieter might have unfinished business with the girl gwendaline from army of thieves. I’m not Snyder so I can’t really give you more than I know lol
What if the zombie at 8:45 is actually Vanderohe because there’s only one zombie and Vanderohe was the only one in both movies to be locked up behind a vault. Furthermore, Vanderohe was also bitten as well which makes sense towards his zombification in the vision/dream.
Normal people dont understand how awesome this Cycle loop concept is . Zack Synder is the King of All Nerds!! Damm the storyline he has made with this is crazy & WB not supporting him with this tells how crazy stupid there were..
No way Zack Snyder is trash. Matthias Schweighöfer is what brought everything to life. He directed this pre-equal and flushed out a much more interesting world. The overall look and feel was much more detailed and nuanced. Get Zack Snyder away from this project, his vision was crude and more Hollywood blockbuster bs at best.
@@thepkeezy LOL you do know Snyder wrote both Movies right?.. so this is his vision whether you like it or not, no offense to Matthias but he only directed it.. almost all these character scenes and developments came from Snyder for better or worse.
I think everything is linked with hans wagner. When he wakes up in the van he sees wagner as a zombie. I think its somehow connected with Wagner shutting himself inside his last vault. I dont know but i am really excited to find out.
Or once dieter/Sebastian Cracked the 5th Safe or were Hans Wagner is locked in He will travel back in time and become Hans Wagner re crating the safe yet again lol
@@hrestibar2982 well it seems unlikely since the vault that wagner had locked himself in is said to have been dumped in the ocean. Dieter randomly saw wagner as a zombie but he died years before the apocalypse. I think the zombies and wagner have some connection. Since his wife and son died maybe he tried something to bring them back or something and they came back as zombies so he locked himself with them in the vault i think. These are just speculation but goddamn it sound cool 😅😅😅.i am just really excited for the next iterations.
@@hrestibar2982 haha thats a really creative brain mate. But the problems the same for every one. Using our brains for things other than our studies but its not our fault that there are other things intriguing than books 😂
Also when you highlighted about the bride on the news, there was the same lady that was yelling at him in the bank which again could've been a glimpse into one of the alternative timelines
All these time travel theories are deeply intriguing. I love all the clues put in both movies that suggest time travel and the looping of time is actually happpening. If it is in the future revealed that the looping of time has occurred in anyway, then both of these movies would be placed on my short list of the greatest zombie movies of all times
09:07 "You know you should be that big, tough man" In the loop Dieter always locks himself in the safe to hide from the zombies and that means he abandoned his friends, I believe after hearing those words from Korina he decided to save Vanderohe knowing the cycle would repeat.
The scene of the team successfully getting onto the chopper with all the cash as one of the previous loops is supported with your theory of 4. There are only two sets of duplicate bodies, so add the chopper group, and the main movie group and that's all 4 of them.
If he’s coming back, I think they will have the omega-man be the one trying to kill him, so the hand inside the safe which grabs him, could be foreshadowing the sequel !
This is why i love Snyder's work. In every film he makes he never just tells 1 story. He always adds little hints and clues to show a larger story behind the scenes. Loved both AoT and AoTD.
I thought you were talking about aot the anime in which case has the same tone where a million foreshadowings and clues are placed throughout the show but you only realize them if you're analysing like this person is.
That could be why in the beginning of the army of the dead when Dieter said if he should have a bigger weapon, Vanderohe said "If you had one, you already be dead". It could be referring to a past timeline when Dieter tried to use a big weponn and ended up dying? Thoughts?
Zach is a Nolan student who clearly hasn't mastered Nolan's style before adding his own style to it.. the whole Army of the dead was supposed to be confusing like a Nolan movie but it wasn't he should have gone all in without worrying be about a sequel
@@kevinslaye you are wrong here see Zack is not Nolan's student but they are really good friends and admire each other's work in his previous interviews (at the time of MOS and BVS), Nolan said that people were not just ready for his movies and his movies are way above their league. also nolan's movies are not that confusing to understand if you pay attention.
I'm super excited for the part 3 of this great movie. I think the part 3 would be the getting together part of Ludwig and Gwendoline and much more exciting adventures will happen.
Exactly like the New Kingsman movie its a prequel and there will be a Kingsman 3 so you can’t really call Thieves Part 2. Can be confusing at times I believe they could make an actual sequel to Army of Thieves but no leave it alone. Make Planet of the Dead and as ppl have been saying make some sort of another prequel to Army of the Dead where we see how Zeus got into the vault before he infected Vegas or Nevada and how he was infected to become the Alpha. If you think about it like what came first the chicken or the egg was Alpha the first or was there was regular zombie or zombies before him and somehow the government perfected the zombies making him the first Alpha (or was he even the first Alpha). All would be amazing to explore I’d like a government movie on how it all came to be a Zeus prequel and have it end with him meeting his Queen or choosing who his Queen is going to be (for his zombie baby)
I got a wild theory. What if the 4th vault is still hidden somewhere in the ocean and the vault they actually open is a replica. Which means that dieter still needs to open the original vault hidden on the bottom of the ocean floor somewhere. Which either resets the time loop or breaks it.
I saw some people say that the army of the dead is a 4 timeline. When I watch The Thieves twice, I notice that Sebastian's room had the number 3 and in the second bank you also can see the number 3 again when Gwen open the door for him. Army of thieves became before Army of the Dead (Number 4), so... I suppose that Army of the Thieves it's the number 3 and remains another two numbers before the thieves
Wagners safes are some sort of time machine ,he tried to travel back in time to save his wife and child,and the military found his safe and tried to use it and they went somewhere else and brought an infected soldier back
2:21 also, I think this could be taken another way. When he says he shot her three times, it was taken by V as he's shot her on that many occasions, and therefore corrects him
Honestly, I don't have enough faith in Synder & Co. to have thought up something this ingenious. Although this video does get me to thinking why there was a need to make a prequel with Sebastian/Ludwig in the first place. If Ludwig somehow did survive Army of the Dead and ends up meeting with Gwendoline again, there would have to be a very good reason to keep him alive. I feel we are going to be very disappointed when Planet of the Dead comes out and there is no mention of either.
And it makes me really confused because Dieter said in Thieves that he will find and open Gotterdammerung together with Gwendoline but in Dead, he just went like that. Thieves was made after Dead too so it's not something that just missed.
Anyone else notice that the first male zombie we see when the team gets inside the Vegas wall (the zombie with the tiger) has a gunshot wound in his left shoulder, the exact same spot as Brad Cage had in Army of Thieves? Also Karina is freaking HOT in the first bank scene!!!
@@FlicksAndTheCity or maybe they are trying to take individual movies for all of them about how they ended up there . Maybe ... We gotta wait until the cast come out 😂
@@t37joiceandrean38 Snyder made it a point to say “if we do not see a character die then we can bring them back”. The main zombie could’ve took him hostage like he did some of the other characters. Of course that’s just one scenario of many possible.
Wow that's an awesome theory! I love all your connecting of the dots. Whether true or not, it seems incredibly plausible. So do we think it's magic? The safe is a magic portal? Does Snyder add stuff like that to his movies? The zombies and safe cracking seem like a real enough scenario so bringing magic or a time rift or something into it feels weird to me.
Yea I’m confused don’t know if it’s walking dead a zombie movie or back to the future over and over again just wanna know what I’m getting and not no fast and furious a little of everything
It really seems that if you just get out of Snyder's way and let him do what he wants with his movies, he DOES have a plan. Wish DC/Warner Bros. had trusted him to make some of his Snyder cut ideas for Justice League in the original movie. Maybe then they would still have their cast and not alienated the cyborg actor.
When dieter explains the story of “Götterdämmerung” while cracking “Siegfried” he says “Siegfried dies and brunnhilde throw herself on his grave” I believe Zack Synder is telling us Ludwig is in fact dead and tell us Gwens faith in the “Planet of the dead”
I thought the time loop was them breaking fourth wall and admitting once the movies over their lives are over til we re-watch the movie, making the loop of fighting, dying.... All over again. Til the movie ends. And we re-watch it later on, starting the loop again.
Years ago I watched a huge PBS documentary on Wagner's Ring Cycle.... I really feel like "Army of Thieves" was a shade richer for me, but like they say: "It's not over till the Fat Lady sings".
the hotel must be stuck in a singularity in order for the previous group to be visible to the second group. other wise if it was an actual loop no group would be visible to the other, except in som dejavous capacity.
Counting to 4 like in music is a Loop plus the counting is timing... Or maybe the time loop theory in AoTD has to also do with sequences of the film like how a combination dial works. 1. Dial Right (clockwise)... Got out of Vegas with a Ring Wall 2. Dial left (counterclockwise)... Go back to Vegas, find team, 2nd blueprint. Doubled back to entrance took Queens head. 3.Dial right... Find 2nd Team before opening the safe,theorize the time loop, open safe 4. Dial left... Time has been shorten on the Nuke, final battle with Zeus vs Van=(kratos) GoW2 reference Remember once in the vault opens and closes opens another realm. Meaning dieter lived saving Vanderoahe sending him to another realm and got biten
I watch army of thieves before watching army of the Dead and Ludwig was definitely my favorite character. I was really bummed when Zeus got a hold of him so hearing that he might not be dead gives me hope.
Army of the dead was snoozefest at first (I'd literally turn it on as I'm going to sleep). One day I decided to actually give it a watch, and each time after that I got deeper and deeper meanings from it. Army of Thieves was the move that really got me into the franchise though.
The dream he had when some zombie was inside the vault and pulled him it wasn't actually a zombie because obviously it was the guy who closed the vault on to save in the movie (army of the dead)
Well, I have never seen the army of dead. My girlfriend introduced me into the army of thieves, and wow, it was a great decision. Now I feel like I need moreee!
In Army Of Thieves the protagonist dreams with a zombie apocalypse (almost like a vision of him about to die while trying to open the safe). This could be him seeing his other self from the previous loop. Similar to Dr. Strange dreaming about his other selfs in other dimensions.
A lot of people hates this movie cuz they cannot fully understand it.thats why we should watch any explanation videos after watching this type of movie especially from Snyder.
Nice video. I saw the film when it came out and already knew the time loop theory, but still haven't seen Army of thieves so will watch it for sure! I think it would be great if Dieter was allowed to survive in Army of the Dead because Dieter is Zeus. Sure there is an obvious difference in their build and one of the theories is that Vanderohe is Zeus, but maybe Dieter gets infected, ends up being experimented on by the army or aliens (if they are a genuine part of the story) then eventually evolves into the muscular Zeus. Sorry this is probably in no way an original idea, but it would be another nice loop for a version of Dieter to be stuck in.
Dieter is invincible, right? His name also means the people's warrior, right? Maybe, Deiter is immune to becoming a Zombie. So the head Alpha bit him and it had no effect.
you see in army of thieves when Interpol browse RUclips to see Sebastian video, It displays it was uploaded 1 minute ago but it was at least 2 day ago. He met Gwen and succeeded two banks heists already when Interpol found that clip. TIME TRAVEL??
This is clever, at first I didn't understand why thieves barely had nothing to do with the actual the zombie outbreak in Vegas but this really has put it into perspective for ms, thank you, also I'm getting mega call of duty zombies vibes, time loops, alternative time lines? You know. Anyways good theory!
Wasn't a fan of him in army of the dead, but after seeing army of thieves I fell in love with the character. I really hope he comes back for Army of the dead 2. Imagine him, and gwen reunite again, and this time they find the last safe, and crack the last sunken safe to save humanity. That would be awesome.
I think the vault is built with alien tech ,You see aliens at the beginning then later see zombies that are zombies .The thing about Army of thieves its not a prequel but a sequel set after the timeline resets after the nuclear blast which is what triggers the safe to reset the timeline .In the timeline where they succeed Gwen is important and she's freed before the final timeline.
REMEMBER THE HAND?! People don't seem to talk about how Vanderogh knew it was the heat that attracts the zombies and not the flesh. And even Guz was like, "where do you keep finding these things?". Well, I know zombies were around a lot, but by how Dieter and Guz didn't seem to mind much that he just suddenly left and returned implies that he didn't disappear for long. Especially suspicious since why is there a random trolley in a casino? If he got that from a storage room or something, he should've taken longer because he shouldn't have known where it was, right? Also the microwave, he even had time to find a kitchen? Or maybe there was a restaurant area, but he did things too efficiently.
As Zack says, "if you don't see them die, means they could still return"... None of the rich characters, yes even Brad...who has decided, he's "no longer the hero"...NONE of them dies! Even Rolf, the driver, has decided he wants to change sides...leaving all of them could be the core of the NEW CRÜE, and Brad to be one of the antagonists. How do they get out? It's now a PLANET OF THE DEAD, and we're dealing with a much more civilized Europe, where they would release prisoners, instead of letting them starve. Perhaps Delecrox enlists Brad to help take down our heroes? What do y'all think?
Theres something fishy about those times when he wakes up from a dream. It actually felt like real, like it really happened to him. Like its not a dream, its a memory
Ngl, "Army of" movies by Zack might be some of his best produced stuff! He can really make a cinematic universe instead of ruining DC(sorry if i trigger ppl)
Have you seen Army of Thieves and do you think Dieter is still alive in Army of the Dead?!

If Ludwig somehow did survive Army of the Dead and ends up meeting with Gwendoline again, there would have to be a very good reason to keep him alive. I feel we are going to be very disappointed when Planet of the Dead comes out and there is no mention of either.
Nice thoughts...glad you thought em.
Snyder wanted to build the same loop in DC, but those morons shot down his project.
And it makes me really confused because Dieter said in Thieves that he will find and open Gotterdammerung together with Gwendoline but in Dead, he just went like that. Thieves was made after Dead too so it's not something that just missed.
I love this movie. I think it was 10x better than Army of the Dead.
It was directed by Matthias Schweighöfer aka Dieter! Someone seriously pull Zack Snyder off this project and let Matthias Schweighöfer take the reins.
@@thepkeezy Zach synder was a writer though
@@thepkeezy and the movie is producted by Zack Snyders, story by Zack Snyder... keep crying, hater...
@@actiongameaddiction591 xD
@@actiongameaddiction591 bitch... why you can't leave zack haters become happier for a second? Lol
Anyone else notice that the first male zombie we see when the team gets inside the Vegas wall (the zombie with the tiger) has a gunshot wound in his left shoulder, the exact same spot as Brad Cage had in Army of Thieves? Also Karina is freaking HOT in the first bank scene!!!
It's good actually ... I'm just waiting for his gf to save him 😂
I think we'll see them both in Planet of the Dead
@@FlicksAndTheCity or maybe they are trying to take individual movies for all of them about how they ended up there . Maybe ... We gotta wait until the cast come out 😂
@@FlicksAndTheCity they promise to meet again:P
he's dead anyway
@@t37joiceandrean38 Snyder made it a point to say “if we do not see a character die then we can bring them back”. The main zombie could’ve took him hostage like he did some of the other characters. Of course that’s just one scenario of many possible.
Dieter is honestly my fav thing about this movies
Man I loved this movie. That hacker girl stole my heart I will never be the same person again. Deiter is the bomb too.
yes! Korina was my favorite character.
Wow that's an awesome theory! I love all your connecting of the dots. Whether true or not, it seems incredibly plausible.
So do we think it's magic? The safe is a magic portal? Does Snyder add stuff like that to his movies? The zombies and safe cracking seem like a real enough scenario so bringing magic or a time rift or something into it feels weird to me.
Yea I’m confused don’t know if it’s walking dead a zombie movie or back to the future over and over again just wanna know what I’m getting and not no fast and furious a little of everything
At the 3:01 mark as they're entering Dieter's establishment, there's a billboard outside with a 544-4444 phone number.
More 4's...
It really seems that if you just get out of Snyder's way and let him do what he wants with his movies, he DOES have a plan. Wish DC/Warner Bros. had trusted him to make some of his Snyder cut ideas for Justice League in the original movie. Maybe then they would still have their cast and not alienated the cyborg actor.
He was my favorite character, glad he got a prequel! Hope to see him survive in the next movie!
What if the Planet of the Dead, or a subsequent sequel, somehow incorporates a time-loop where it leads to the events of his Dawn of the Dead remake??
Next thing, when Dieter says He’s Invincible, is a hint about how he survived in Army of the Dead
I found army of theives to be much more enjoyable than dead.
@ Flicks and the City very nice breakdown and analysis that I had not thought about earlier. Keep em coming...
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
8:00 Matthias Schweighöfer said It's a direct refrence to Snyder's Dawn of the Dead Movie the crew really tried to get the same outfit for the zombie.
When dieter explains the story of “Götterdämmerung” while cracking “Siegfried”
he says “Siegfried dies and brunnhilde throw herself on his grave” I believe Zack Synder is telling us Ludwig is in fact dead and tell us Gwens faith in the “Planet of the dead”
I thought maybe the actor just thought his back story was so cool that it warranted a prequel, but you are making a lot of sense here.
3:04 the key she has on her neck in army of thieves has 4 holes. if its his 1st time meeting her and its the 1st loop then it should have had 1 hole
Wow, I genuinely enjoyed this video! Great job explaining, and I can really see those possibilities
I enjoyed them both and can’t wait to see what happens next
I like the character of sebastian hopefully he comes back in the sequel.
I think the first alpha zomb was hans. He locked himself in the locker remember and the first alpha zomb was in locker????
this made me love those vaults I didn't know there are different designs and mechanisms about them
I thought the time loop was them breaking fourth wall and admitting once the movies over their lives are over til we re-watch the movie, making the loop of fighting, dying.... All over again. Til the movie ends. And we re-watch it later on, starting the loop again.
Years ago I watched a huge PBS documentary on Wagner's Ring Cycle.... I really feel like "Army of Thieves" was a shade richer for me, but like they say: "It's not over till the Fat Lady sings".
Dieter was my favorite character in the Army of the dead by far.
the hotel must be stuck in a singularity in order for the previous group to be visible to the second group. other wise if it was an actual loop no group would be visible to the other, except in som dejavous capacity.
Counting to 4 like in music is a Loop plus the counting is timing...
Or maybe the time loop theory in AoTD has to also do with sequences of the film like how a combination dial works.
1. Dial Right (clockwise)...
Got out of Vegas with a Ring Wall
2. Dial left (counterclockwise)...
Go back to Vegas, find team, 2nd blueprint. Doubled back to entrance took Queens head.
3.Dial right...
Find 2nd Team before opening the safe,theorize the time loop, open safe
4. Dial left...
Time has been shorten on the Nuke, final battle with Zeus vs Van=(kratos) GoW2 reference
Remember once in the vault opens and closes opens another realm. Meaning dieter lived saving Vanderoahe sending him to another realm and got biten
I watch army of thieves before watching army of the Dead and Ludwig was definitely my favorite character. I was really bummed when Zeus got a hold of him so hearing that he might not be dead gives me hope.
I can’t wait to see the next sequel 🥰 I love Dieter.
Army of the dead was snoozefest at first (I'd literally turn it on as I'm going to sleep). One day I decided to actually give it a watch, and each time after that I got deeper and deeper meanings from it. Army of Thieves was the move that really got me into the franchise though.
The dream he had when some zombie was inside the vault and pulled him it wasn't actually a zombie because obviously it was the guy who closed the vault on to save in the movie (army of the dead)
YESSSSS I was scrolling so far to find a comment like this! I totally agree!
Well, I have never seen the army of dead. My girlfriend introduced me into the army of thieves, and wow, it was a great decision. Now I feel like I need moreee!
In Army Of Thieves the protagonist dreams with a zombie apocalypse (almost like a vision of him about to die while trying to open the safe).
This could be him seeing his other self from the previous loop.
Similar to Dr. Strange dreaming about his other selfs in other dimensions.
You've done it again
A lot of people hates this movie cuz they cannot fully understand it.thats why we should watch any explanation videos after watching this type of movie especially from Snyder.
GOD I HOPE SEBASTIAN IS ALIVE, I WANT HIM TO MEET WITH KORINA AND GWEN AGAINNNN
Me too ... I just loved Sebastian and Gwen together ♥️
What about the 5th vault?..It sure must be involved somehow.
Damn right!
Most likely
As a German I have absolutely no idea what she's talking about when explaining the meaning of the names Ludwig and Dieter
it is true though
Nice video.
I saw the film when it came out and already knew the time loop theory, but still haven't seen Army of thieves so will watch it for sure!
I think it would be great if Dieter was allowed to survive in Army of the Dead because Dieter is Zeus.
Sure there is an obvious difference in their build and one of the theories is that Vanderohe is Zeus, but maybe Dieter gets infected, ends up being experimented on by the army or aliens (if they are a genuine part of the story) then eventually evolves into the muscular Zeus.
Sorry this is probably in no way an original idea, but it would be another nice loop for a version of Dieter to be stuck in.
i am aso excited for this series snyder projects...
3:54 reminds me of what Alan Cummins always said on Goldeneye
This is amazing, I can't wait to see more.
Love the chemistry of Ludwig and Gwendolyn
Omg I just found out that this was a prequel to Army of the Dead.
Dieter is invincible, right? His name also means the people's warrior, right? Maybe, Deiter is immune to becoming a Zombie. So the head Alpha bit him and it had no effect.
you see in army of thieves when Interpol browse RUclips to see Sebastian video, It displays it was uploaded 1 minute ago but it was at least 2 day ago. He met Gwen and succeeded two banks heists already when Interpol found that clip. TIME TRAVEL??
This is clever, at first I didn't understand why thieves barely had nothing to do with the actual the zombie outbreak in Vegas but this really has put it into perspective for ms, thank you, also I'm getting mega call of duty zombies vibes, time loops, alternative time lines? You know. Anyways good theory!
Wasn't a fan of him in army of the dead, but after seeing army of thieves I fell in love with the character. I really hope he comes back for Army of the dead 2. Imagine him, and gwen reunite again, and this time they find the last safe, and crack the last sunken safe to save humanity. That would be awesome.
I think the vault is built with alien tech ,You see aliens at the beginning then later see zombies that are zombies .The thing about Army of thieves its not a prequel but a sequel set after the timeline resets after the nuclear blast which is what triggers the safe to reset the timeline .In the timeline where they succeed Gwen is important and she's freed before the final timeline.
Sebastian, I mean Dieter, is amazing. Also Army of the Dead is a better watch when you watch the prequel right before it.
REMEMBER THE HAND?! People don't seem to talk about how Vanderogh knew it was the heat that attracts the zombies and not the flesh. And even Guz was like, "where do you keep finding these things?". Well, I know zombies were around a lot, but by how Dieter and Guz didn't seem to mind much that he just suddenly left and returned implies that he didn't disappear for long. Especially suspicious since why is there a random trolley in a casino? If he got that from a storage room or something, he should've taken longer because he shouldn't have known where it was, right? Also the microwave, he even had time to find a kitchen? Or maybe there was a restaurant area, but he did things too efficiently.
maybe the solution is like the movie "The Tomorrow War". where they use time travel and which caused the creation of the multiple timelines.
I really want deiter to live he was my favorite character
As Zack says, "if you don't see them die, means they could still return"...
None of the rich characters, yes even Brad...who has decided, he's "no longer the hero"...NONE of them dies!
Even Rolf, the driver, has decided he wants to change sides...leaving all of them could be the core of the NEW CRÜE, and Brad to be one of the antagonists.
How do they get out? It's now a PLANET OF THE DEAD, and we're dealing with a much more civilized Europe, where they would release prisoners, instead of letting them starve.
Perhaps Delecrox enlists Brad to help take down our heroes?
What do y'all think?
I really liked, that Dieter's German actor Matthias Schweighöfer cursed in German in the prequel :D
I watched the army of thieves movie i love how korrinas computer in the van is an anime wallpaper
I’d be ok as long as dieter is alive, best character in it
Theres something fishy about those times when he wakes up from a dream. It actually felt like real, like it really happened to him. Like its not a dream, its a memory
Ngl, "Army of" movies by Zack might be some of his best produced stuff! He can really make a cinematic universe instead of ruining DC(sorry if i trigger ppl)
