We focus on failure because we instictively want to learn from them. If we can understand where it went wrong, and how it should have gone instead, there's a lesson to be learned. So to make critisism whole and satisfying, the solution is to dissect how a piece of media failed, and how to fix it.
So true, thinking about how I would "fix" a flaw, inconsistency, or issue is one of the first things I do when I start to criticize any media Especially if it had great ideas, but terrible/flawed execution
True, as one can easily see by how often critics try to give solutions for writing problems of many movies. Some even put the effort in to fully rewrite certain movies to show a way on how this and that movie could have been much better. This is not negativity, far from it. It shows the passion of the critics who just want the movies to be good.
The reason why you hate the bad stuff because like a parent your not angery you just want them to do better you know. They can do better once you bring there flaws to he surface not. Out of spite or hate but because you care.
Stuckman has joined the elite filmmakers without being invited in. He honestly comes off like he's above the plebs since he made a film. That he didnt even pay for..
It's not Chris's argument I have a problem with, it's his hypocrisy. His popularity was derived from him crapping on other people's work(see his SW prequel videos) but now that he's making his own movies and he realized "Oh crap people can do to my work what ive been doing to others work" then suddenly NOW he's against harsh criticism of film.
Every Frame a Painting was very popular while it was around. People are extremely enthusiastic to celebrate greatness. We're just in a period where even mediocrity is too high a bar for Hollywood, so there isn't much to celebrate.
True, if a series/show/movie is truly great it gives good critique enough things analyze and provide their own set of puzzle especially when it is something non-traditional. i have recently seen "Frieren: Beyond The end" (it is a fqn japanese cartoon) and i am like gorging on every single review deciphering its greatness like a glutt0n. this shtt is so good it is making retired youtubers come outta retirement to make a positive video trying to analyze its greatness and celebrate its triumphs. in case of recent hollywood, even the good ones are simply so mediocre there is nothing to chew on ,analyze or Decipher nor to celebrate. no wonder no one wanrs to talk about them
Feedback and criticism help people get better. Consider the movie 12 Angry Men: everyone in that room strongly disagreed with each other, but they eventually worked together. Feedback and criticism helps individuals improve, whether it’s personal or related to their work.
The reason negativity is interesting is because most media is either okay or pretty good, which is nifty but there's not a whole lot to talk about. There are more things that are 1-4/10s than there are masterpieces. Also, most great things people agree are great (unless they pull out the "it's overrated because I found it boring" which just means it's not for you because your subjective boredom is not a concrete flaw) but a lot of bad things people back into corners to defend their precious goo so as a result its nessecary to explain the ways those things mess up.
Everyone has said if they liked movies or not since the beginning of films. People are better at understanding why something is bad now and bad writers cant hide anymore 😂
Damn, you have a real knack for this: both the visual design and putting thoughts into words. I completely agree with your assessment surrounding the whole "people are too negative" whining. Just because lots and lots of people are critiquing the absolute state of modern Hollywood doesn't mean that there is no reason to do so. In fact, be glad that they do, it means they still care; the true death of cinema is apathy. Keep up the good work :)
I used to feel bad for my amateurish writing, but looking at current Hollywood, I realized that maybe my skills are slightly better than most of these overpaid clowns.
I think algorithms promote negativity. Videos where I express negative opinions get far more views than when I express positive ones. This encourages people to make more negative content. It’s the same reason why most news stories are negative. People love hearing about bad news. I also disagree that good art can’t be fascinating. Finding out why a work of art is good is more interesting to me than exploring why a work of art is bad. It’s the reason why great artists are taught in school. Many people may have a proclivity toward negativity, but it will often leave them feeling bitter and empty inside.
I think a lot of negative criticism does come from passionate fans. We like to dunk on movies because it’s fun, yes, but at the same time I don’t think fans of a franchise should settle for less than what the studios are capable of. At the same time certain people take it too far where they eventually enjoy the negative discourse more than the media itself.
Thank you for this. On top of what you’ve said, criticism is also a form of helping people improve. It’s hard to know what you may have done wrong when looking at your own art, so having people give tips on what to change and why, is the best way to help them get better! Praising everything just because it’s “more positive” does more harm than criticism- by ignoring the flaws, it is more likely for those flaws to show up in the future
I’m really liking your arguments! To sort of counter, but more so agree, all I can share is my experience: I did not enjoy Greatest Showman. I hated it. I loathed it entirely. I left the theatre expecting my friends and family to feel the same. They didn’t - every one of them loved it. I was shocked, and totally alone in my feelings. I found others online that shared my sentiment and frustrations, and felt better. I had my reasons, and I cared a lot about why my expectations weren’t met. I appreciated feeling heard in my frustrations. However, because I was immature, I was also acting like a jerk. It started with frustration, but turned into hate. Others enjoyed themselves with the film. I thought they were stupid for doing so. “They just don’t know any better, they’re just literal children with child-brains, etc.” But no matter how hard I tried to convince them that it was bad, whether I succeeded or whether I failed to do so, I didn’t feel better about myself. I kept feeling angry, and I kept not enjoying myself. THAT I think is the real negativity to combat. That is insecurity. And yes, those are strong emotions that others use art forms to create with. And it is natural to feel those emotions. But it controls the artist rather than the other way around. That being said, I agree with this video. There are clear ways to express frustrations, and that can bring about a lot of good (it sure helped Martin Luther, for example) but I guess what I wanted to add is that there’s a drive of hatred I believe for some that make matters worse. People who critique film criticism itself just need to recognize the difference.
One thing to add (because I can’t edit for some reason), I didn’t realize this was a counter video to Chris’s - I didn’t watch it beforehand, so now I understand that you were more so combating his arguments
I also have the experience of hating a movie that most others I know loved. I find that I spend a lot of time frustrated, trying to explain and rationalize why I found the movie awful. I do try to find someone who doesn’t mind me talking negatively about the film, because as you said trying to convince people who loved a film that they should hate it is mean-spirited. When I find someone methodically voicing all the same criticisms I had, I find it cathartic. It removes a lot of the frustration and disappointment I had from the film.
To accept criticism is to learn from our mistakes. I don't think GRRM has been told "no" or "that wasn't good" enough times since he was surrounded by money... and I think it is common among the extremely successful, they forget the importance of people like editors (whose job is to criticise their work) or managers (whose job it is to tell GRRM "to write the Winds Of Winter ffs George") so when they hear someone say it they take it personally. Stuckman on the other hand is just a coward.
I won't stop speaking truthfully for anyone. I won't encourage other people to stop speaking truthfully. But you are entilted to not do it, whatever allows your conscience to sleep at night. I encourage you and anyone to speak your mind and in good faith, gathering the most amount of accurate information you can, with the best logic you can think of. It's not about perfection, it's about striving to the best possible good one can accomplish. Good luck.
i feel embrassed listening to her on public cuz her voice sounds too cute😅 Cant beat simp allegation in front of my homies litening to a voice like that
G.R.R.M. i do believe is being disingenuous. It seems that he doesn't know how to end his series. He also is a very smart man, who understands politics in the small and big "p" sense of the word (as shown in his work). I do think, given his understanding of politics, that he knows he is in trouble. It is convinient for him to believe that "negativity" is a bad thing at the moment. Was GRRM an 'anti-fan' for asking about Aragorn's tax policy? This is obviously a nitpick, given that economic policy is not the point of Lord of the Rings, it is a mytho-poetic work. Yet his whole work according to him was experienced by this nit-pickyness My other 'conspiracy theory' is that GRRM's attitude towards 'anti-fandom' has to do with finishing his series and the reception of season 8. I think that Bran King and Daenerys burning down King's Landing were in the notes he gave D&D. Of course they fucked up. But it seems that even he has had difficulty to move the pieces to create a satisfying ending, even before Season 8, and him watching the reaction has made him extra cautious and resentful of his fanbase. This is to indicate that if we adopt the frame, that everyone is a bad actor, it is seems that the "other camp" is generally more established or trying to be (Stuckmann). Therefore the are pro-status quo, because it is convinient. It is a tactical positivity. They will, of course, complain but they can blame George Positive Guy for teaching me this mode of thinking, through his work 😛
This is an interesting perspective. The way I see it people often look at Negativity as Offense and Positivity as Defense. A lot of this is a semantic issue. No one ever feels "attacked" for what they would consider a "positive" review. People complaining about "negative" reviews are often "defending" a movie they enjoyed. It's less about the content and about the way it makes people feel. If I wrote a scathing review in the form of a satire so that it was less clear in what ways I am criticizing the movie people would be less likely to call me negative. If I wrote a review but praised only the good things and then left the score a 1/10, people would be less apt to call me negative (they might call me other things though). There are a million other factors that go into why we act the way we do online but tribalism and parasocial relationships play a part. I could make the argument that perhaps using the internet as therapy isn't the healthiest way to conduct ourselves any more than lashing out at someone who is giving a movie a bad review. The internet is not something any of us are and probably will be within our lifetimes equipped to deal with.
It's not necessarily *indistinguishable,* there are at least several words that Nutsa tends to pronounce in ways that I've never heard before from a native English speaker. Though my first instinct wasn't "English isn't her first language", it was just "she says some words differently". Let's be honest here, it is noticeably different. Not hating, just being honest. As far as English being her second language, I couldn't tell at all.
Man, I'm pretty sure George R.R. Martin's just looking for excuses not to write at this point. Like, I feel like he's just saying this kind of stuff to bait a reaction so in a year or so he can say some nonsense like "Winds of Winter was supposed to be out by now, but the harassment from fans made me afraid to release anything". I was firmly in the camp of cutting Martin some slack but when he released that blog talking about anti-fans and how he's spending all his days watching politics and news on tv, I lost quite a bit of faith in the man.
Very sound and interesting take on the subject. I think negativity is not the problem, but the degree of rational and critical thought put into the "negative" content. Great video overall, but the last reference to Tarantino was pure gold👍
Something I would add is that one of the reasons we more frequently gravitate towards the negative is because it's simply easier to point out why something didn't work for you. The moment something negatively impacted you, you noticed. The more these moments pile on, the more your brain starts compiling a list and even looking for more problems. If you're enjoying a movie and it does a lot of good things, then there's the possibility that you won't ever stop to think why you're having such a good time (which is also why positive praise and positive criticism tends to be so bland and repetitive. If you're a video gamer, you've probably heard the term "visceral combat" used even when no viscera is present in the combat). However, by reflecting on what you dislike, you can start to look to the things you like and think "Wait... why DID I like that so much?" Especially if, after several rewatchings, you start to notice the little issues and flaws. By understanding what we don't like, it helps us understand what we like, and even understand our own biases and what we're willing to forgive. There's also one additional factor that you pretty much touch on towards the end there: if you disliked something that seems to be getting endless praise everywhere else, creating that negative critique can not only be cathartic, but can also create a sort of oasis for others. "Oh, man, I thought I was the only one who thought this way! I'm not crazy after all!" That, itself, is incredibly valuable and, as you noted, can turn negativity into something positive. Admittedly, I've been trying my hand at this criticism thing long enough that I prefer analyzing things I enjoy over critiquing that which I dislike, BUT I even have negative criticisms of what I like so it's not all brainless praise, AND I've been trying to critique things for nearly 20 years and these old man bones are tired. However, I kind of appreciate people critiquing movies I'll never see and breaking down their negative attributes because the critique itself is often informative, plus it creates a window into that individual. You and Little Platoon/LostChord will watch and discuss movies I'll never see, but I don't watch you for the sake of hating on something. These days I'm even apathetic to the films you discuss. It is your brains I'm more fascinated in. Which, again, is a positive. In these times of depression, economically, politically, and every other-ically way conceivable, escapism is good, but so is connection. If the wealthy elite in charge of the arts are doing a poor job with their escapism, then the consumer has the right, privilege, and one could even argue duty to let those wealthy elite know they're failing. If the criticism creates connections between humans, then all the better, because it's better for people to feel as if they're understood than isolated and alone. Thank you for the video.
I relate to your take on your Star Wars video being therapeutic, I'm a massive fan of Fraggle Rock and my Top 10 Least Favorite Fraggle Rock Episodes video felt very therapeutic to make too, felt good to unload all my thoughts on what I consider the worst episodes of my favorite show :)
There is an interesting thing when it comes to how humans interact with the world. We don't praise anything when it does what it expected to do. When that thing performs its function there is nothing extraordinary about that. Criticisms can be levied to make that thing better than what it was, but it takes people who are highly invested in that thing to try to improve upon it. The rest of the population doesn't bother with that though because it fulfilled its function to satisfaction. When it comes to media criticism, this same standard applies. I've seen thousands of movies (I'm gen X). The movies that I will gush about for hours and watch every reaction or commentary video I come across over those movies are either insanely good or insanely bad. To me, Casablanca is one of the few perfect films. I will drone on and on about it if given a chance. At the same time though, I'll do the same thing for an Ed Wood movie despite his utter lack of skill or talent when it comes to making movies. It is the properties that fall sort of mediocre, in either direction, that cause us to question, criticize and praise. Why would I want to bother droning on and on about the John Candy movie "Delirious?" It isn't Candy's best work. Its serviceable and entertaining, but not perfect or horrible. It is precisely what it is supposed to be. There may be some people that have it as their favorite movie, but rare few will ever say its underappreciated so it will likely be lost to the annals of time.
People who complain about negative media discourse tend to forget that the number of consumers who are discussing media and care about it is not that high. The internet might come together and agree that Fast and Furious or Transformers movies are bad but the vast majority of the general public would easily give those movies an 8/10 or something - and rarely think about it again. Ask your family and relatives what they think about that plainly silly blockbuster movie and they'll probably have liked it and thought it was good, which is fine - not everyone needs be nerdy about storytelling - but you can see what that entails in scoring. Most shows and movies you see on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc, books on Goodreads or games on various plataforms are rated a lot highers than we, who are nerdy about this stuff, would rate them. The reaction to this overwhelming, almost default positivity that normies have when experiencing any piece of media is to try to breed more critical discourse surrounding it, which will often go negative. The reality is though, no matter how much people on Twitter, RUclips and Reddit hate on something, the vast majority of the reactions to it tend to always be overwhelmingly positive, so complaining about criticism always seem like talking about a smaller issue to me. Yes, I wish most people, most consumers would give a second thought to what they put their money into instead of just buying the 90th Sims 4 expansion pack or lining up to watch the 60th Marvel movie. If that was the case, those who care about media, beyond quick entertainment, wouldn't have to overcompensate for this, often, complacenct positivity towards poorly made movies, shows, games, books, etc, but that not our situation right now. Does that mean we should only embrace negativity in this circle? Well, no. Breaking down how solid, good or great something is has the same value. It's simply that the positive reception *is* the norm, despite what spending a lot of time on the internet might lead you to believe.
I was never huge on Transformers, but I used to be a fan of Fast & Furious (I was a car kid), I still like the first 3 or 5 movies, but I see no point of continuing the franchise beyond Paul Walker's dead (coincidentally he died in a Porsche, just like James Dean), now it's all like a mix between Marvel and Transformers, it's Mission Impossible but with cars, and I'd rather watch M:I for that.
Lately I've only experienced movies through your lens by way of your channel. I'm more into rewatching science fiction television than engaging in the current state of movies. Great work Nutsa!
19:19 I think you put it perfectly. It’s easier to make videos on bad movies because you want to have a good experience from the franchise you love. And the only way to get that is by creating your own art discussing it. So it does create a paradox where negative criticism acts as a catharsis for positive emotions.
I always pondered why we tend to criticize and see negative stuff so easily but also why doing the opposite is so difficult, I came to the conclusion that we as human being see good as a normal natural thing that should happen always, being a good person should be the norm, having a job that pays well based on the amount of work you do should be the norm, consuming entertainment should always be good, there might be different types of if that we may enjoy and others that we dont but just because of that we dont see it as a bad just not of our preferences. So when something is out of that norm it falls into the not good as result the negativity and criticism comes in, this shouldnt have been like this, it only they would changed this aspect, how did they even think this is acceptable etc etc etc, however one thing that I notice is that there are like 3 tipes of people when it comes to criticism, 1 the ones that care too much, 2 the ones that dont care and 3 the ones that have a sheep like mindset in which everything related to said thing is always good because they like said thing The people who care too much are always the vocal ones, they have passion they want to see it better over time and it hurts when it objectively isnt therefore they go out and make their grievances known The ones who don't care just forget about it, dont pay attention, cant get into it and move one The ones who have the sheep mentality tend to be very immature and have some sort of weird loyalty to the brand more than genuine love over be it writing, game design, music composition, they are just there cuz "I like this because reasons and I devote myself to it" who endup clashing a lot with the ones that care too much
Okay, life is about the balance of all things. Yes, it’s natural that we’re attracted to and fascinated by tragedies, negativity, etc. But I fear that we are perpetuating the amount of negativity and hate to an unhealthy level, thereby tipping the balance too far in the wrong direction. Thoughts?
Simple: people really just want most things to be good enough. We know most things won’t be incredible. There are only a few masterpieces; only a few supermodels; only a few real heroes. We know most things will just be alright, and that’s good enough for us. So when someone comes along and makes bad or subpar things, it genuinely ruins our day. We’re not asking for everything to be great; we just want things to not be bad.
People who are terminally online were reacting to Stuckman's positive Madame Web video and Martin's comments on how fandom these days is all negative. These two things created a lot of buzz on X and other social media platforms.
YT seems to have deleted my comment so here goes again. Stuckman released a positive review of Madame Web and Martin made comments about how fandom is mostly negative these days. If you're not on social media, you probably didn't experience the reactions.
It doesn't matter how much sense you make when your opinions are shared with restrained snideness masquerading as sarcasm. Your video reeks of 'Haha, you're all actually spiteful assholes like me!' instead of, 'We're all human, and this is just how we are.' like I assume you intended. That text half way through about going back to hear what you made us miss...really?
"Most of the movies I talk about disliking on my channel are the ones I didn't like" Fake rage confirmed, Nutsa is injecting manufactured hate into the veins of children with flashy colours and stylized editing. Basically a school shooter.
Humanity has always been the same. People have always been attracted to negativity, it's just that the internet has brought it to light, especially to those who don't want to see it
This is not directly related but this is similar to why in fandoms (especially shipping fandoms) it's important for people to have spaces to talk about those things they hate, whether it's a ship or a character. I'm talking just about a space, not attacking people who do like what you hate (that is unnecessary harrassment and an asshole move), because it's unrealistic and frankly not healthy for people to contain their negative emotions. It's much more catharthic to give people a space to rant maybe even interact with others just as angry as them to channel that and express themselves to let it out of their chest. We have tags, we have content warnings, there's way for people who don't want to see that to avoid us! As long as I'm not personally attacking someone for having a different opinion, why shouldn't I talk about how much something sucks? It's easier for me to coexist with the rest of the people, knowing I have that space to do so, than if I didn't.
I've been watching your content since that initial boom and this was your first subjectively bad video so I will allow myslef to spread bit of negativity and criticism upon you. First of all, successes and positivities are sometimes celebrate and we indeed should do it more often whenever its possible. Obviously not in stupid forms like clapping when plane successfuly lands. But instead in forms of how Avengers Endgame was praised when it delivered on the built up hype pretty well. Or how new Puss in Boots movie got praised when it surprised us all how superior to any new cartoon it was. Criticisng absolutely does work and its why we call them "critics" and not "praisers" People are absolutely more overall inclined to focus on usually unexpected outcomes like hyped movie flopping. But the point is that this should not blind us to only criticise and never praise as you do. Criticise when its just, but frankly, giving some good movie prop-up sometimes would really be refreshing content on your channel after all this time. Its indeed in our nature to be interested in "titanics" but we humans are unique because we can overcome our primitive nature. Just how we can against all odds master completely counter-intuitive logics and mysteries of science, we too can master our emotions and give a shot to heavily criticised movies and discover that may be actually great. I will put Napoleon as example. How much hate it got for being historically inacurate and how terrible movie it was. Yet I would say the innacuraces are mild at best and Napoleon himself is very well depicted, all within very intense and visually stunning movie, full of action. (unlike so praised either parts of Dune which I wrestled not to fall asleep to) Its even more ironic considering how Gladiator movie is so praised while being way worse offender of historical innacuraces. But Napoleon was made during times of endless horde of internet critics who was quick to point out any and all mistakes of it, while Gladiator is not relevant enough to be similarly tharshed nowdays while known enough to be praised as "great" movie. TLDR: I simply dont agree. Negativity sells. Whether you know it or not, you and many others like you take a full advantage of it and get famous for spreading it. But positive emotions could also be well recieved and put into well constructed videos that would be more than enjoyable to watch ... buuuuut for that you'd have to spend less time making visuals and more writing a script as its far easier to criticise than to praise :) (which is exactly that allowed me to make this long ass comment and turn myself from fan to jerk so damn quickly)
I really tried to like Napoleon, the film looks stunning, costume and set design, I can say I enjoyed it, but ofc if you read more profoundly about Napoleon, you're gonna hate it, but it truly had the tools to be far more great, I fell the film too short for the story it wanted to tell, maybe the extended cut improves it (as usual with Ridley Scott, a living legend but also a hit or miss by now). Also, Gladiator is one of my favorite movies ever, I'm very aware of it's innacuracies, but that dosen't put the movie down, it already had a great story, characters, actors, set, battles, photography, score, etc... Same with Indiana Jones to me, I never stopped loving it because of it's historical innacuracies, Indy, just like Maximus, is ficticious, I can forgive those flaws, I like to think they're an alternate universe to ours.
@@jesustovar2549 so why cant you do the same with Napoleon as with Jones or Gladiator? But yes, I am quite confident that extended cut will be an improvement, especially in story pacing for Napoleon, but its already above any average movie from current times
My idea is that its easy to be negative and hard to remain optimistic. This doesnt mean I dont believe in criticsm. If something is truly awful then donf be a sellout lol
It's always a happy and sad occasion to see one of your video pop up. Happy because I know I'm about to watch a video of quality but sad because it will take a month or 2 before I get to see another.
I point out the flaws b/c i know it could be better, to not point them out it to say its okay that its bad. not b-movie bad, but obj bad. The fight scene in TLJ was flashy and all, but it was bad. if they had taken the time to make it good, to make sense and be flashy. id praise it.
I think part of the reason YT film criticism is so... Critical, is because it's an entertainment sector unto itself. Some channels are doing legitimate deep dives like a film analysis course, while some are simply having a good time to entertain their audience. The mistake film creators make is believing that they own the audience and any criticism is pulling audience away from them. In reality, a lot of the RUclips audience was never going to watch the Bad Movie in question, they are here for an entirely different style of entertainment. Both are ok.
Thank you for delineating your sponsored segment in its own chapter so viewers can easily skip it. P.S. It's always midnight on the scales, until you try to weigh something.
I’ve been wanting to start making videos about the new star wars shows because how much they piss me off for what they’ve done to the franchise as well as marvel because they have the resources and talent to do great content, andor happened but it’s likely to not happen again. I don’t want to shit on them for the sake of making content but out of my love for Star Wars and to criticise them to one day hopefully improve even if they never will. I want to vent my frustrations but to be objective too, I gravitate towards people like mauler for his criticisms because i learn from his content, specially watching efap learning about storytelling etc. negative criticism definitely helps with people who want to learn as well as venting frustrations together however i think positive tends to do well when it’s an underrated or misunderstood project although its not always the case
I would watch your videos, seriously, as Star Wars fan I also being kind of let down by the franchise current releases, I haven't seen most of the new shows (tried with Ahsoka but only until chapter 5), honestly I liked The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi back when they came out (they were my first Star Wars movies in theaters, I went with my family to see TFA, my Godfather is a huge fan since 1977), I remember my friends telling me The Last Jedi was bad befor3 seeing it, I was like "they can't do wrong", when I saw the movie I could see things they didn't like, when I came to the internet, I saw breaking downs and all that, I couldn't bring myself to hate the movie, but maybe it wasn't as good as I thought, and I rewatched it. All that left me with 0 hope for The Rise of Skywalker, visually looks great but it is a disaster of storytelling, my theater was almost empty (there was this old man with white beard who saw the originals in theaters, also an old lady), even my Godfather who enjoyed it, still had it's own criticisms about Rey facing Palpatine and said "it's not the same anymore", he also didn't like the new Indiana Jones movie, didn't even paid me to see it, I regret it honestly, I later saw the movie and enjoyed it, but I can see the aspects that bother people (the character of Helena).
@@jesustovar2549 I remember liking TFA but walked out TLJ and thought “that wasn’t Star Wars” ever since the quality got lower and lower. It’s a shame because we should be in this golden era with all these special effects and massive budgets but disney etc hire people who don’t care about these franchises and set to ruin them. All the marvel show directors/writers said they didn’t or were told not to look at source material and it shows. So far 11k words into ahsoka and how terrible it is and i know i can do more for other SW shows nearly everything is an issue. I’ve been reading legends because there’s soo much care and passion in those books it feels like star wars made by writers who are star wars fans compared to disney who hire disney star wars ‘fans’
Im not even like Movies that much ...i mean, the ones you talking about. So i was just popping in for wasting time, but i watched in the end the hole thing. So, good Job! :) Keep the good work coming!!! Love from Berlin :)
There's this small excerpt from a poem by Sasha Chorny, written in 1922. Wish I was a better translator to get it across less clunky, but to this day I find it the best description of criticism: Кто не глух, тот сам расслышит, Сам расслышит вновь и вновь, Что под ненавистью дышит Оскорбленная любовь. ___ Who's not deaf will hear it plainly Hear it once and once again That beneath the hate is breathing An insulated love
I think it just comes down to the simple survival strategy we employ in everything. If you do things correctly in the wild you get to live another day where you have to do that again and again day after day, but if you fail that's it game over. I think this part of our psychology is what causes us to focus on negative things, because our lizard brain considers failure a much more important factor. In other words good is expected and bad is unacceptable. We can appreciate a really good thing but it is much harder to explain why it is so good when our brain is focused on good enough and below line
For me, I just genuinely love practicing critical thinking; critical thinking is just a very useful skill to have. Critiquing art is a great way to practice, and by extension (if you are also an artist) it can improve your own art in the process. My favorite RUclips film critics are also funny and I could only know about their jokes that make me laugh through watching their content, it's even improved my comedic skils as someone who likes making people laugh. I've learned so much from watching reviews and it just fuels my urge to learn more things (which by extension makes you better at critical thinking). I would not know half the things I do now without watching these kinds of videos. Being a critic doesn't have to be miserable, cynical, or hateful; it can be super fun. It's a shame that certain individuals are missing out on the positives that stem from this "negative" content.
Space Odyssey intro was worth it, my very first thought was “oh, sick as hell!” And my very second was “how long did that take?” Hilarious with the glowing youtube bubble. Nutsa are cinema. Nutsa sure edita like it’s-a movie.
I agree with you 100%. BUT It does bother me when casual viewers leave nothing but negative comments and vitriol for otherwise good shows. I first really noticed this reading what people have to say about House of the Dragon (specifically S2). It’s an amazing show, one that brings back everything we all loved about GoT, yet people are ripping into it, giving it one star and horrible reviews, because there weren’t enough DRAGONS. 🤦♂️ People like that are the reason we can’t have nice things. But you’re right when it comes to creators, art, and human nature. I just think good shows - REALLY good shows, objectively good shows, especially in context with other releases we’re seeing - need to be recognized for what they’re doing right. Otherwise, we can’t really blame the studios for not delivering consistency. How could they? Just read the comments for HotD and you’ll be as confused as the studio probably is. I just hope they stay true to their vision.

We focus on failure because we instictively want to learn from them. If we can understand where it went wrong, and how it should have gone instead, there's a lesson to be learned.
So to make critisism whole and satisfying, the solution is to dissect how a piece of media failed, and how to fix it.
So true, thinking about how I would "fix" a flaw, inconsistency, or issue is one of the first things I do when I start to criticize any media
Especially if it had great ideas, but terrible/flawed execution

He does exactly that. He’s quite good.
True, as one can easily see by how often critics try to give solutions for writing problems of many movies. Some even put the effort in to fully rewrite certain movies to show a way on how this and that movie could have been much better. This is not negativity, far from it. It shows the passion of the critics who just want the movies to be good.
The reason why you hate the bad stuff because like a parent your not angery you just want them to do better you know. They can do better once you bring there flaws to he surface not. Out of spite or hate but because you care.

Stuckman has joined the elite filmmakers without being invited in. He honestly comes off like he's above the plebs since he made a film. That he didnt even pay for..
It's not Chris's argument I have a problem with, it's his hypocrisy. His popularity was derived from him crapping on other people's work(see his SW prequel videos) but now that he's making his own movies and he realized "Oh crap people can do to my work what ive been doing to others work" then suddenly NOW he's against harsh criticism of film.

Every Frame a Painting was very popular while it was around. People are extremely enthusiastic to celebrate greatness. We're just in a period where even mediocrity is too high a bar for Hollywood, so there isn't much to celebrate.
True,
if a series/show/movie is truly great it gives good critique enough things analyze and provide their own set of puzzle especially when it is something non-traditional. i have recently seen "Frieren: Beyond The end" (it is a fqn japanese cartoon) and i am like gorging on every single review deciphering its greatness like a glutt0n. this shtt is so good it is making retired youtubers come outta retirement to make a positive video trying to analyze its greatness and celebrate its triumphs.
in case of recent hollywood, even the good ones are simply so mediocre there is nothing to chew on ,analyze or Decipher nor to celebrate. no wonder no one wanrs to talk about them
Feedback and criticism help people get better. Consider the movie 12 Angry Men: everyone in that room strongly disagreed with each other, but they eventually worked together. Feedback and criticism helps individuals improve, whether it’s personal or related to their work.
I do love the amount of cat memes in this video
The reason negativity is interesting is because most media is either okay or pretty good, which is nifty but there's not a whole lot to talk about. There are more things that are 1-4/10s than there are masterpieces. Also, most great things people agree are great (unless they pull out the "it's overrated because I found it boring" which just means it's not for you because your subjective boredom is not a concrete flaw) but a lot of bad things people back into corners to defend their precious goo so as a result its nessecary to explain the ways those things mess up.
I completely agree with you, nice pro-pic and user name👍
Everyone has said if they liked movies or not since the beginning of films. People are better at understanding why something is bad now and bad writers cant hide anymore 😂
Damn, you have a real knack for this: both the visual design and putting thoughts into words. I completely agree with your assessment surrounding the whole "people are too negative" whining. Just because lots and lots of people are critiquing the absolute state of modern Hollywood doesn't mean that there is no reason to do so. In fact, be glad that they do, it means they still care; the true death of cinema is apathy.
Keep up the good work :)
I don't know said it but "worse than being loved or hated, is to be not talked about".
I used to feel bad for my amateurish writing, but looking at current Hollywood, I realized that maybe my skills are slightly better than most of these overpaid clowns.
SAME
I think algorithms promote negativity. Videos where I express negative opinions get far more views than when I express positive ones. This encourages people to make more negative content. It’s the same reason why most news stories are negative. People love hearing about bad news. I also disagree that good art can’t be fascinating. Finding out why a work of art is good is more interesting to me than exploring why a work of art is bad. It’s the reason why great artists are taught in school. Many people may have a proclivity toward negativity, but it will often leave them feeling bitter and empty inside.
Production value OVERLOAD! ♥
I think a lot of negative criticism does come from passionate fans. We like to dunk on movies because it’s fun, yes, but at the same time I don’t think fans of a franchise should settle for less than what the studios are capable of. At the same time certain people take it too far where they eventually enjoy the negative discourse more than the media itself.
Thank you for this. On top of what you’ve said, criticism is also a form of helping people improve. It’s hard to know what you may have done wrong when looking at your own art, so having people give tips on what to change and why, is the best way to help them get better! Praising everything just because it’s “more positive” does more harm than criticism- by ignoring the flaws, it is more likely for those flaws to show up in the future
Another incisive video. Your impartiality and fair commenting is appreciated.
Was it just a coincidence that you released a video with extensive Titanic references on the 112th anniversary of it hitting the iceberg?

@@Nutsa Lol I hereby award you an honorary inclusion into “Titanic Week”! Welcome aboard.
"welcome aboard" haha just insensitive
New nutsa upload? Hell yeah!
I’m really liking your arguments! To sort of counter, but more so agree, all I can share is my experience:
I did not enjoy Greatest Showman. I hated it. I loathed it entirely. I left the theatre expecting my friends and family to feel the same. They didn’t - every one of them loved it. I was shocked, and totally alone in my feelings. I found others online that shared my sentiment and frustrations, and felt better. I had my reasons, and I cared a lot about why my expectations weren’t met. I appreciated feeling heard in my frustrations.
However, because I was immature, I was also acting like a jerk. It started with frustration, but turned into hate. Others enjoyed themselves with the film. I thought they were stupid for doing so. “They just don’t know any better, they’re just literal children with child-brains, etc.” But no matter how hard I tried to convince them that it was bad, whether I succeeded or whether I failed to do so, I didn’t feel better about myself. I kept feeling angry, and I kept not enjoying myself.
THAT I think is the real negativity to combat. That is insecurity. And yes, those are strong emotions that others use art forms to create with. And it is natural to feel those emotions. But it controls the artist rather than the other way around.
That being said, I agree with this video. There are clear ways to express frustrations, and that can bring about a lot of good (it sure helped Martin Luther, for example) but I guess what I wanted to add is that there’s a drive of hatred I believe for some that make matters worse. People who critique film criticism itself just need to recognize the difference.
One thing to add (because I can’t edit for some reason), I didn’t realize this was a counter video to Chris’s - I didn’t watch it beforehand, so now I understand that you were more so combating his arguments
I also have the experience of hating a movie that most others I know loved. I find that I spend a lot of time frustrated, trying to explain and rationalize why I found the movie awful. I do try to find someone who doesn’t mind me talking negatively about the film, because as you said trying to convince people who loved a film that they should hate it is mean-spirited. When I find someone methodically voicing all the same criticisms I had, I find it cathartic. It removes a lot of the frustration and disappointment I had from the film.
I didn't saw the movie but I think it just wasn't for you.
I'm going to play this video on our big TV screen while we're eating dinner in an effort to convince my husband to subscribe to you 😈☺️
My grandma was stuckmanized at aushcwitz
I am always happy to see your content.
To accept criticism is to learn from our mistakes. I don't think GRRM has been told "no" or "that wasn't good" enough times since he was surrounded by money... and I think it is common among the extremely successful, they forget the importance of people like editors (whose job is to criticise their work) or managers (whose job it is to tell GRRM "to write the Winds Of Winter ffs George") so when they hear someone say it they take it personally. Stuckman on the other hand is just a coward.
👏👏👏👏👏
I won't stop speaking truthfully for anyone.
I won't encourage other people to stop speaking truthfully.
But you are entilted to not do it, whatever allows your conscience to sleep at night.

It's not about perfection, it's about striving to the best possible good one can accomplish.
Good luck.

I'm trying to find answers
It's her voice
i feel embrassed listening to her on public cuz her voice sounds too cute😅
Cant beat simp allegation in front of my homies litening to a voice like that
G.R.R.M. i do believe is being disingenuous. It seems that he doesn't know how to end his series. He also is a very smart man, who understands politics in the small and big "p" sense of the word (as shown in his work). I do think, given his understanding of politics, that he knows he is in trouble. It is convinient for him to believe that "negativity" is a bad thing at the moment. Was GRRM an 'anti-fan' for asking about Aragorn's tax policy? This is obviously a nitpick, given that economic policy is not the point of Lord of the Rings, it is a mytho-poetic work. Yet his whole work according to him was experienced by this nit-pickyness
My other 'conspiracy theory' is that GRRM's attitude towards 'anti-fandom' has to do with finishing his series and the reception of season 8. I think that Bran King and Daenerys burning down King's Landing were in the notes he gave D&D. Of course they fucked up. But it seems that even he has had difficulty to move the pieces to create a satisfying ending, even before Season 8, and him watching the reaction has made him extra cautious and resentful of his fanbase.
This is to indicate that if we adopt the frame, that everyone is a bad actor, it is seems that the "other camp" is generally more established or trying to be (Stuckmann). Therefore the are pro-status quo, because it is convinient. It is a tactical positivity. They will, of course, complain but they can blame George Positive Guy for teaching me this mode of thinking, through his work 😛
This is an interesting perspective. The way I see it people often look at Negativity as Offense and Positivity as Defense. A lot of this is a semantic issue. No one ever feels "attacked" for what they would consider a "positive" review. People complaining about "negative" reviews are often "defending" a movie they enjoyed. It's less about the content and about the way it makes people feel. If I wrote a scathing review in the form of a satire so that it was less clear in what ways I am criticizing the movie people would be less likely to call me negative. If I wrote a review but praised only the good things and then left the score a 1/10, people would be less apt to call me negative (they might call me other things though). There are a million other factors that go into why we act the way we do online but tribalism and parasocial relationships play a part. I could make the argument that perhaps using the internet as therapy isn't the healthiest way to conduct ourselves any more than lashing out at someone who is giving a movie a bad review. The internet is not something any of us are and probably will be within our lifetimes equipped to deal with.
Your English is indistinguishable from a Native Speaker.
It's not necessarily *indistinguishable,* there are at least several words that Nutsa tends to pronounce in ways that I've never heard before from a native English speaker. Though my first instinct wasn't "English isn't her first language", it was just "she says some words differently".
Let's be honest here, it is noticeably different. Not hating, just being honest. As far as English being her second language, I couldn't tell at all.
Man, I'm pretty sure George R.R. Martin's just looking for excuses not to write at this point. Like, I feel like he's just saying this kind of stuff to bait a reaction so in a year or so he can say some nonsense like "Winds of Winter was supposed to be out by now, but the harassment from fans made me afraid to release anything". I was firmly in the camp of cutting Martin some slack but when he released that blog talking about anti-fans and how he's spending all his days watching politics and news on tv, I lost quite a bit of faith in the man.
Very sound and interesting take on the subject. I think negativity is not the problem, but the degree of rational and critical thought put into the "negative" content. Great video overall, but the last reference to Tarantino was pure gold👍
Something I would add is that one of the reasons we more frequently gravitate towards the negative is because it's simply easier to point out why something didn't work for you. The moment something negatively impacted you, you noticed. The more these moments pile on, the more your brain starts compiling a list and even looking for more problems. If you're enjoying a movie and it does a lot of good things, then there's the possibility that you won't ever stop to think why you're having such a good time (which is also why positive praise and positive criticism tends to be so bland and repetitive. If you're a video gamer, you've probably heard the term "visceral combat" used even when no viscera is present in the combat).
However, by reflecting on what you dislike, you can start to look to the things you like and think "Wait... why DID I like that so much?" Especially if, after several rewatchings, you start to notice the little issues and flaws. By understanding what we don't like, it helps us understand what we like, and even understand our own biases and what we're willing to forgive.
There's also one additional factor that you pretty much touch on towards the end there: if you disliked something that seems to be getting endless praise everywhere else, creating that negative critique can not only be cathartic, but can also create a sort of oasis for others. "Oh, man, I thought I was the only one who thought this way! I'm not crazy after all!" That, itself, is incredibly valuable and, as you noted, can turn negativity into something positive.
Admittedly, I've been trying my hand at this criticism thing long enough that I prefer analyzing things I enjoy over critiquing that which I dislike, BUT I even have negative criticisms of what I like so it's not all brainless praise, AND I've been trying to critique things for nearly 20 years and these old man bones are tired. However, I kind of appreciate people critiquing movies I'll never see and breaking down their negative attributes because the critique itself is often informative, plus it creates a window into that individual. You and Little Platoon/LostChord will watch and discuss movies I'll never see, but I don't watch you for the sake of hating on something. These days I'm even apathetic to the films you discuss. It is your brains I'm more fascinated in.
Which, again, is a positive.
In these times of depression, economically, politically, and every other-ically way conceivable, escapism is good, but so is connection. If the wealthy elite in charge of the arts are doing a poor job with their escapism, then the consumer has the right, privilege, and one could even argue duty to let those wealthy elite know they're failing. If the criticism creates connections between humans, then all the better, because it's better for people to feel as if they're understood than isolated and alone.
Thank you for the video.
I relate to your take on your Star Wars video being therapeutic, I'm a massive fan of Fraggle Rock and my Top 10 Least Favorite Fraggle Rock Episodes video felt very therapeutic to make too, felt good to unload all my thoughts on what I consider the worst episodes of my favorite show :)
I hear Lorax demos, let’s do this.
beautifully put and made. I've obviously been a fan since the original star wars video but it's always a pleasant surprise to see one of your videos
There is an interesting thing when it comes to how humans interact with the world. We don't praise anything when it does what it expected to do. When that thing performs its function there is nothing extraordinary about that. Criticisms can be levied to make that thing better than what it was, but it takes people who are highly invested in that thing to try to improve upon it. The rest of the population doesn't bother with that though because it fulfilled its function to satisfaction. When it comes to media criticism, this same standard applies. I've seen thousands of movies (I'm gen X). The movies that I will gush about for hours and watch every reaction or commentary video I come across over those movies are either insanely good or insanely bad. To me, Casablanca is one of the few perfect films. I will drone on and on about it if given a chance. At the same time though, I'll do the same thing for an Ed Wood movie despite his utter lack of skill or talent when it comes to making movies. It is the properties that fall sort of mediocre, in either direction, that cause us to question, criticize and praise. Why would I want to bother droning on and on about the John Candy movie "Delirious?" It isn't Candy's best work. Its serviceable and entertaining, but not perfect or horrible. It is precisely what it is supposed to be. There may be some people that have it as their favorite movie, but rare few will ever say its underappreciated so it will likely be lost to the annals of time.
People who complain about negative media discourse tend to forget that the number of consumers who are discussing media and care about it is not that high. The internet might come together and agree that Fast and Furious or Transformers movies are bad but the vast majority of the general public would easily give those movies an 8/10 or something - and rarely think about it again. Ask your family and relatives what they think about that plainly silly blockbuster movie and they'll probably have liked it and thought it was good, which is fine - not everyone needs be nerdy about storytelling - but you can see what that entails in scoring.
Most shows and movies you see on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc, books on Goodreads or games on various plataforms are rated a lot highers than we, who are nerdy about this stuff, would rate them. The reaction to this overwhelming, almost default positivity that normies have when experiencing any piece of media is to try to breed more critical discourse surrounding it, which will often go negative.
The reality is though, no matter how much people on Twitter, RUclips and Reddit hate on something, the vast majority of the reactions to it tend to always be overwhelmingly positive, so complaining about criticism always seem like talking about a smaller issue to me.
Yes, I wish most people, most consumers would give a second thought to what they put their money into instead of just buying the 90th Sims 4 expansion pack or lining up to watch the 60th Marvel movie. If that was the case, those who care about media, beyond quick entertainment, wouldn't have to overcompensate for this, often, complacenct positivity towards poorly made movies, shows, games, books, etc, but that not our situation right now.
Does that mean we should only embrace negativity in this circle? Well, no. Breaking down how solid, good or great something is has the same value. It's simply that the positive reception *is* the norm, despite what spending a lot of time on the internet might lead you to believe.
I was never huge on Transformers, but I used to be a fan of Fast & Furious (I was a car kid), I still like the first 3 or 5 movies, but I see no point of continuing the franchise beyond Paul Walker's dead (coincidentally he died in a Porsche, just like James Dean), now it's all like a mix between Marvel and Transformers, it's Mission Impossible but with cars, and I'd rather watch M:I for that.
New film, let's celebrate
Lately I've only experienced movies through your lens by way of your channel. I'm more into rewatching science fiction television than engaging in the current state of movies. Great work Nutsa!
I've never seen so many wasted cats 😂
Yep! It's okay to criticize things. Criticism can help people improve.
19:19 I think you put it perfectly. It’s easier to make videos on bad movies because you want to have a good experience from the franchise you love. And the only way to get that is by creating your own art discussing it. So it does create a paradox where negative criticism acts as a catharsis for positive emotions.
I *refuse* to get Stuckmannized!
I thought you were dead welcome back !
Yet another based Nutsa vid, thank you for your hard work
I always pondered why we tend to criticize and see negative stuff so easily but also why doing the opposite is so difficult, I came to the conclusion that we as human being see good as a normal natural thing that should happen always, being a good person should be the norm, having a job that pays well based on the amount of work you do should be the norm, consuming entertainment should always be good, there might be different types of if that we may enjoy and others that we dont but just because of that we dont see it as a bad just not of our preferences.
So when something is out of that norm it falls into the not good as result the negativity and criticism comes in, this shouldnt have been like this, it only they would changed this aspect, how did they even think this is acceptable etc etc etc, however one thing that I notice is that there are like 3 tipes of people when it comes to criticism, 1 the ones that care too much, 2 the ones that dont care and 3 the ones that have a sheep like mindset in which everything related to said thing is always good because they like said thing
The people who care too much are always the vocal ones, they have passion they want to see it better over time and it hurts when it objectively isnt therefore they go out and make their grievances known
The ones who don't care just forget about it, dont pay attention, cant get into it and move one
The ones who have the sheep mentality tend to be very immature and have some sort of weird loyalty to the brand more than genuine love over be it writing, game design, music composition, they are just there cuz "I like this because reasons and I devote myself to it" who endup clashing a lot with the ones that care too much
Okay, life is about the balance of all things. Yes, it’s natural that we’re attracted to and fascinated by tragedies, negativity, etc. But I fear that we are perpetuating the amount of negativity and hate to an unhealthy level, thereby tipping the balance too far in the wrong direction. Thoughts?
"nough."
Hey!❤ love this channel!
Simple: people really just want most things to be good enough.
We know most things won’t be incredible. There are only a few masterpieces; only a few supermodels; only a few real heroes. We know most things will just be alright, and that’s good enough for us. So when someone comes along and makes bad or subpar things, it genuinely ruins our day. We’re not asking for everything to be great; we just want things to not be bad.
0:33 christ stuckman and george rr martin happned? what does that mean?
People who are terminally online were reacting to Stuckman's positive Madame Web video and Martin's comments on how fandom these days is all negative. These two things created a lot of buzz on X and other social media platforms.

It doesn't matter how much sense you make when your opinions are shared with restrained snideness masquerading as sarcasm. Your video reeks of 'Haha, you're all actually spiteful assholes like me!' instead of, 'We're all human, and this is just how we are.' like I assume you intended.

"Most of the movies I talk about disliking on my channel are the ones I didn't like"
Fake rage confirmed, Nutsa is injecting manufactured hate into the veins of children with flashy colours and stylized editing. Basically a school shooter.
Good editing and video! Breaking down this behaviour is really interesting
Humanity has always been the same. People have always been attracted to negativity, it's just that the internet has brought it to light, especially to those who don't want to see it
This is not directly related but this is similar to why in fandoms (especially shipping fandoms) it's important for people to have spaces to talk about those things they hate, whether it's a ship or a character. I'm talking just about a space, not attacking people who do like what you hate (that is unnecessary harrassment and an asshole move), because it's unrealistic and frankly not healthy for people to contain their negative emotions. It's much more catharthic to give people a space to rant maybe even interact with others just as angry as them to channel that and express themselves to let it out of their chest. We have tags, we have content warnings, there's way for people who don't want to see that to avoid us! As long as I'm not personally attacking someone for having a different opinion, why shouldn't I talk about how much something sucks? It's easier for me to coexist with the rest of the people, knowing I have that space to do so, than if I didn't.
I liked this vid. I am posting this comment not because of that, but to drive user engagement.
“Is there anything positive or human about this?” *shows the Joker*
I've been watching your content since that initial boom and this was your first subjectively bad video so I will allow myslef to spread bit of negativity and criticism upon you.
First of all, successes and positivities are sometimes celebrate and we indeed should do it more often whenever its possible. Obviously not in stupid forms like clapping when plane successfuly lands. But instead in forms of how Avengers Endgame was praised when it delivered on the built up hype pretty well. Or how new Puss in Boots movie got praised when it surprised us all how superior to any new cartoon it was.
Criticisng absolutely does work and its why we call them "critics" and not "praisers" People are absolutely more overall inclined to focus on usually unexpected outcomes like hyped movie flopping. But the point is that this should not blind us to only criticise and never praise as you do. Criticise when its just, but frankly, giving some good movie prop-up sometimes would really be refreshing content on your channel after all this time.
Its indeed in our nature to be interested in "titanics" but we humans are unique because we can overcome our primitive nature. Just how we can against all odds master completely counter-intuitive logics and mysteries of science, we too can master our emotions and give a shot to heavily criticised movies and discover that may be actually great.
I will put Napoleon as example. How much hate it got for being historically inacurate and how terrible movie it was. Yet I would say the innacuraces are mild at best and Napoleon himself is very well depicted, all within very intense and visually stunning movie, full of action. (unlike so praised either parts of Dune which I wrestled not to fall asleep to)
Its even more ironic considering how Gladiator movie is so praised while being way worse offender of historical innacuraces. But Napoleon was made during times of endless horde of internet critics who was quick to point out any and all mistakes of it, while Gladiator is not relevant enough to be similarly tharshed nowdays while known enough to be praised as "great" movie.
TLDR: I simply dont agree. Negativity sells. Whether you know it or not, you and many others like you take a full advantage of it and get famous for spreading it. But positive emotions could also be well recieved and put into well constructed videos that would be more than enjoyable to watch ... buuuuut for that you'd have to spend less time making visuals and more writing a script as its far easier to criticise than to praise :) (which is exactly that allowed me to make this long ass comment and turn myself from fan to jerk so damn quickly)
I really tried to like Napoleon, the film looks stunning, costume and set design, I can say I enjoyed it, but ofc if you read more profoundly about Napoleon, you're gonna hate it, but it truly had the tools to be far more great, I fell the film too short for the story it wanted to tell, maybe the extended cut improves it (as usual with Ridley Scott, a living legend but also a hit or miss by now).
Also, Gladiator is one of my favorite movies ever, I'm very aware of it's innacuracies, but that dosen't put the movie down, it already had a great story, characters, actors, set, battles, photography, score, etc... Same with Indiana Jones to me, I never stopped loving it because of it's historical innacuracies, Indy, just like Maximus, is ficticious, I can forgive those flaws, I like to think they're an alternate universe to ours.
@@jesustovar2549 so why cant you do the same with Napoleon as with Jones or Gladiator? But yes, I am quite confident that extended cut will be an improvement, especially in story pacing for Napoleon, but its already above any average movie from current times
I decided to stay I'm the video solely because of the fact that you player bigger in the intro.
Did you model that desk scene yourself?
My idea is that its easy to be negative and hard to remain optimistic. This doesnt mean I dont believe in criticsm. If something is truly awful then donf be a sellout lol
Ignorance and ugliness need to be pointed out and combated so that people can learn what is true and beautiful.
It's always a happy and sad occasion to see one of your video pop up. Happy because I know I'm about to watch a video of quality but sad because it will take a month or 2 before I get to see another.
I point out the flaws b/c i know it could be better, to not point them out it to say its okay that its bad. not b-movie bad, but obj bad. The fight scene in TLJ was flashy and all, but it was bad. if they had taken the time to make it good, to make sense and be flashy. id praise it.

Amazing analysis as always, you have the best video essays on youtube 🙏
I think part of the reason YT film criticism is so... Critical, is because it's an entertainment sector unto itself. Some channels are doing legitimate deep dives like a film analysis course, while some are simply having a good time to entertain their audience.
The mistake film creators make is believing that they own the audience and any criticism is pulling audience away from them. In reality, a lot of the RUclips audience was never going to watch the Bad Movie in question, they are here for an entirely different style of entertainment. Both are ok.
Thank you for delineating your sponsored segment in its own chapter so viewers can easily skip it.
P.S. It's always midnight on the scales, until you try to weigh something.
The cat images are very funny 😄
nah, imma be shitting on them horrible films the earliest chance i get
I’ve been wanting to start making videos about the new star wars shows because how much they piss me off for what they’ve done to the franchise as well as marvel because they have the resources and talent to do great content, andor happened but it’s likely to not happen again. I don’t want to shit on them for the sake of making content but out of my love for Star Wars and to criticise them to one day hopefully improve even if they never will. I want to vent my frustrations but to be objective too, I gravitate towards people like mauler for his criticisms because i learn from his content, specially watching efap learning about storytelling etc. negative criticism definitely helps with people who want to learn as well as venting frustrations together however i think positive tends to do well when it’s an underrated or misunderstood project although its not always the case
I would watch your videos, seriously, as Star Wars fan I also being kind of let down by the franchise current releases, I haven't seen most of the new shows (tried with Ahsoka but only until chapter 5), honestly I liked The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi back when they came out (they were my first Star Wars movies in theaters, I went with my family to see TFA, my Godfather is a huge fan since 1977), I remember my friends telling me The Last Jedi was bad befor3 seeing it, I was like "they can't do wrong", when I saw the movie I could see things they didn't like, when I came to the internet, I saw breaking downs and all that, I couldn't bring myself to hate the movie, but maybe it wasn't as good as I thought, and I rewatched it. All that left me with 0 hope for The Rise of Skywalker, visually looks great but it is a disaster of storytelling, my theater was almost empty (there was this old man with white beard who saw the originals in theaters, also an old lady), even my Godfather who enjoyed it, still had it's own criticisms about Rey facing Palpatine and said "it's not the same anymore", he also didn't like the new Indiana Jones movie, didn't even paid me to see it, I regret it honestly, I later saw the movie and enjoyed it, but I can see the aspects that bother people (the character of Helena).
@@jesustovar2549 I remember liking TFA but walked out TLJ and thought “that wasn’t Star Wars” ever since the quality got lower and lower. It’s a shame because we should be in this golden era with all these special effects and massive budgets but disney etc hire people who don’t care about these franchises and set to ruin them. All the marvel show directors/writers said they didn’t or were told not to look at source material and it shows. So far 11k words into ahsoka and how terrible it is and i know i can do more for other SW shows nearly everything is an issue. I’ve been reading legends because there’s soo much care and passion in those books it feels like star wars made by writers who are star wars fans compared to disney who hire disney star wars ‘fans’
Im not even like Movies that much ...i mean, the ones you talking about. So i was just popping in for wasting time, but i watched in the end the hole thing. So, good Job! :) Keep the good work coming!!! Love from Berlin :)
Disney marvel ruining everything
She has returned
Great video!!! Too many cats.
There's this small excerpt from a poem by Sasha Chorny, written in 1922. Wish I was a better translator to get it across less clunky, but to this day I find it the best description of criticism:
Кто не глух, тот сам расслышит,
Сам расслышит вновь и вновь,
Что под ненавистью дышит
Оскорбленная любовь.
___
Who's not deaf will hear it plainly
Hear it once and once again
That beneath the hate is breathing
An insulated love
russians go home
Turning something negative into something positive is simply just how the wheel of art works
Im happy I wasn't the only one who was disappointed with KFP4...
blender is awesome, isn't it?

Is this a dream or is this the real life?
I like how you dropped the time stamp to your face reveal in the Barbie video
babe wake up new nutsa classic just dropped
Wake up everyone Nutsa just dropped a new video!
I really like your videos
I think it just comes down to the simple survival strategy we employ in everything. If you do things correctly in the wild you get to live another day where you have to do that again and again day after day, but if you fail that's it game over. I think this part of our psychology is what causes us to focus on negative things, because our lizard brain considers failure a much more important factor. In other words good is expected and bad is unacceptable. We can appreciate a really good thing but it is much harder to explain why it is so good when our brain is focused on good enough and below line
For me, I just genuinely love practicing critical thinking; critical thinking is just a very useful skill to have. Critiquing art is a great way to practice, and by extension (if you are also an artist) it can improve your own art in the process. My favorite RUclips film critics are also funny and I could only know about their jokes that make me laugh through watching their content, it's even improved my comedic skils as someone who likes making people laugh. I've learned so much from watching reviews and it just fuels my urge to learn more things (which by extension makes you better at critical thinking). I would not know half the things I do now without watching these kinds of videos. Being a critic doesn't have to be miserable, cynical, or hateful; it can be super fun. It's a shame that certain individuals are missing out on the positives that stem from this "negative" content.
the editing stepped up in this one, love your videos
Space Odyssey intro was worth it, my very first thought was “oh, sick as hell!” And my very second was “how long did that take?” Hilarious with the glowing youtube bubble. Nutsa are cinema. Nutsa sure edita like it’s-a movie.
The music and sound design in this episode was a fun ride 😂
Well said Nutsa!
1:13 movie name?
See this Factor sponsorship add looked way more appetizing than Chris Stuckman’s.
I agree with you 100%.
BUT
It does bother me when casual viewers leave nothing but negative comments and vitriol for otherwise good shows. I first really noticed this reading what people have to say about House of the Dragon (specifically S2). It’s an amazing show, one that brings back everything we all loved about GoT, yet people are ripping into it, giving it one star and horrible reviews, because there weren’t enough DRAGONS. 🤦♂️
People like that are the reason we can’t have nice things.
But you’re right when it comes to creators, art, and human nature. I just think good shows - REALLY good shows, objectively good shows, especially in context with other releases we’re seeing - need to be recognized for what they’re doing right. Otherwise, we can’t really blame the studios for not delivering consistency. How could they? Just read the comments for HotD and you’ll be as confused as the studio probably is. I just hope they stay true to their vision.
I love your voice and the way you speak. So glad i found you. Its also a plus you speak so much LOGIC. Love it
Quite true.
