      Is that a trick question? I have seen M. Night Shyamalan movies in the order of their theatrical release which I gather from the posted question is a little odd? That's ok, I like odd and bat s*** crazy movies like The Happening (2008).

      although it was occurring to me right along with as I was watching it that it'd actually be not really much difficult or complicated at all to prove David's abilities to an objective third party. Besides the easiest one of almost unmatched brute force strength that someone with the physical makeup as a 60 year old Bruce Willis simply shouldn't have, his "seeing" power could also be demonstrated. Sure it might take a little paperwork, but contact the nearest prison, go into the convicts serving for violent crimes, and pick as few as 5 completely at random. Someone in the doctor's position should be able to have them furloughed to the hospital for barely even half a day, have David touch them, and he'll be able to see a vision of at least one of their crimes scenes, information he otherwise couldn't possibly know (especially when he does it to all of them). Now, I know a likely response to that would be "but she WASN'T an objective 3rd party, she didn't want them to be able to overtly demonstrate their powers", given the 'secret mission' she was really on, but David didn't know that. Even if it wouldn't have worked anyway because of her agenda, it seems very reasonable David would've come up with that or any number of other arguments to TRY to get out of a place he very much did not want to be.
      I mean part of what kinda bothers me is they actually DO have a moment where David says "But you can't possibly explain away all of it", and... that's it. He doesn't even really advocate anymore for his own case.

      "The Overseer" that is one awkwardly poor name for a superhero, I know that. It actually reminds me a little of the running joke about the original band name in "That Thing You Do", like with trying to spell the Wonders but to be different as the number one, "the Oneders", so people thought it was pronounced like "oh-need-ers" lol So like in this movie's sake, there's no way at least some people aren't saying the "seer" part as only one syllable.

      @kevinw712 5 лет назад +2

      Okay forgive me but I kinda roll my eyes when I see people break out this rationale for divisive opinion. It's very possible to completely "get" a movie and what the filmmaker was trying to do AND find it quite inferior. For one I don't think M Night is quite as 'deep' as some fans would seem to think. And don't get me wrong I don't say this as a blanket hater, I've really liked a good few many of his films, including The Village (which I somehow miraculously stayed ignorant about the nature of the twist despite not seeing the movie til like a solid 4 years after it came out, and it was something I didn't guess while watching). And to hit on something the guys brought up, no I don't think really any fan was coming into Glass expecting it to be anywhere even close to something akin to the MCU despite it being "about comic books/superheros", and so their dislike would've been rooted in the wide gulf between two examples like that. I just thought there were a number of plot and character elements that made little to no sense, even with re-looking at the first 90 minutes thru the lens of knowing the ending.

    Hey, Lon, there are villain comics, especially if you stretch the definition. They usually aren't as good (The Joker got what s widely considered to be a terrible miniseries), but some of them are pretty good, even if they are limited time engagements. Long runners include The Suicide Squad, which features villains doing good deeds because they have to (and some eventually reform somewhat. Killer Croc even sponsers Speedy/Arsenal for AA), Superior Spider-Man, which is about a more villainous or anti-hero Spidey after Doctor Octavius swaps minds, and Secret Empire, the story of when Hydra, led by Captain America, conquers the United States.

      I mean, in that way, I could say at least I would respect M Night some for it (well and the self-financing, I hadn't known he'd done that), because really anything you're doing that's artistic, the only person you ever should or can be accountable to is yourself.

    I'm on Dan's side of this. People tend to hate film's that are different. They want to watch another MCU type movie over and over. I loved the metaphor of the film more than anything which these guys don't understand. The metaphor is.. no matter who tries to take your identity away from you, you are what/who you are. And you are what you believe you are or what you believe in. And in the end Glass won, and Ellie Staple lost. Glass is genius and just like the film Us. These film's aren't for everybody. But the main thing is "Don't criticize what you can't understand".

    Into the Spiderverse had Miles literally reading a Spiderman comic book as he was going through each panel's motions in real life. Very meta way to turn into Spiderman. Into the Spiderverse was an actual masterpiece, though.

    I feel Dan's frustration when defending the movie to the others. I liked the first hour and half of the movie very much. The 20 minutes of confrontation weren't bad in the ideas it presented, it was bad in its execution, imo. It was over the top, and M. Night unfortunately has convinced himself that he's good at the twist part of the movies, when in reality he's good at drama. He's great at examining characters whose life have been shattered and they're trying to put all the pieces back together, which is why Unbreakable and Split work so well. The last 10 minutes when it's revealed what Mr. Glass's plan was all along redeemed those 20 minutes of poor execution of good ideas.

    When Spencer said that the thing about the black clover people taking out gen 1 heros so we don't get Dr Manhattan I was thinking the same thing when I saw the movie. The part where the actress is taking about not needing gods among us pretty much means these guy have been doing this for a while and stop some real powerhouses from coming into the world. Sounds like they are scared to let humanity evolve.

      @Kris_AB 5 лет назад +2

      I mean there's two ways of looking at it (which is why it's easy to feel conflicted about the secret society). Are they afraid to let humanity evolve, or are they afraid that a select few (or several, or dozens -- but a minority, whatever the case) will come to dominate the rest of humanity and potentially make life miserable for many ?
      The supers could just as easily be liberators, but the black clover society isn't willing to take that chance. They've made a judgement call for humanity and they want to maintain control.
      I think, in the end, the conclusion of the film is a positive one. The truth getting out is more important. Let the chips fall where they may. Granted, were I living in that world, I might be singing a different tune if the empowerment of supers lead to global catastrophe.
      But what sits worse with me is a small shadowy organization getting to decide what they think is best for billions (which, while I'm not a conspiracy theorist, COULD theoretically happen in real life and we know the extremely wealthy exert their influence where they can).

      @@Kris_AB Yes to everything you just said. I mean you would hope that a super-race would be a good thing for the world. Still there is no way to know so B.C.S steps in and says no sorry can do that. My thing is if I was in that universe and had powers or not. Then find out there is a group that controls how the world should be based on what they think is best. How am I supposed to know that they do all this with altruism in mind? How do I know they do these things for the betterment all and not for nefarious purposes?

      It's a big giant question mark at the end, yep. Ellie Staple is presented to us as someone doing this for the greater good (few people think they're the bad guy, though, of course). They don't HAVE to humanely suppress the supers by trying to convince them they're delusional or killing them relatively humanely (??? I guess??? David's death-by-drowning was pretty horrific), but they HAVE chosen to suppress in a way that could be viewed as humane, so...point in the Black Clover Society's favour ?
      If they ARE doing this more so to keep a tight grip on the world, we weren't shown this darker side, but it's not a stretch to guess at that.
      Power usually corrupts. M. Night's vision seems to be a more optimistic worldview. Most people in the Unbreakable-verse are good people -- Glass and the family-killer in the first film are the exceptions, Kevin is a victim of his mental condition and therefore not to blame in Split (not forgetting Casey's pedophile uncle), and...I don't think there were any new villains in Glass. But his optimistic worldview is probably misguided. It's the one thing about these grounded superpower films that probably doesn't add up. The Black Clover Society and many of the people with powers would TOTALLY abuse that power if they existed real life, just as people with exceptional wealth, physical and mental prowess beyond the norm, and any other advantage you can think of...just as ANYONE with an advantage uses it to get ahead in life and often to exert influence over others.

    Dans moment of “Oh my god...” when Lon kept saying “That’s not an origin story, it’s a prequel”: I’m right there with you buddy. It seemed like taking the stance “it’s not an origin story” was such a stupid stance to take, when the whole point of the overall story was to do NOT the same thing as comic book movies.

    The implication of the “Superman started as just being able to lift cars.” thing was that Superman was based on real-life strong men who could lift cars, and that’s what real life super powers are like, as The Beast does it. Superman was embellished over time to an unrealistic level, which made people think that super powers have to be that extreme and flashy in order to be super powers. But in real life, super powers manifest themselves more subtly, which is why people overlook them in favor of only recognizing the fictional version as qualifying.

    The more it is discussed, the more I find it close to Aranofski's Mother! For making a film mainly due to pure catharsis.
    A) interesting, of rhymes on the social commentary (kids doing viral internet things) , until you feel
    B) disgusted, when the reason behind the rhyme is spelled out on the 3rd act with Glass Masterplan speech, then
    C) Feel for Shyamalan when his idea about Comicbook cinematic universe was perhaps shut down when presented to Disney's Buena Vista way back.
    Then repeat process.

    I'll settle this once and for all. Unbreakable is NOT a superhero movie, it's a coming of age story with a superhero angle based on identity. Glass is intended to question what was established in Unbreakable. What if you are mistaken about who you thought you were? What if your identity is something else? Yes, Shyamalan rushed the script, and I'm a LITTLE disappointed b/c it could've and should've been better. He was betting on Split being a success, and when it turned out to be one, he made Glass. The drowning in the puddle scene is meant to emphasize an ordinary man's power to take down an extraordinary man, in my opinion. I think Shyamalan would agree. This movie is good, almost great, just like Unbreakable. I remember forcing my friends to watch it with me when Unbreakable first came out. Their response was lackluster. All of them. Except me. That's b/c of the lack of intense fighting scenes & special effects you'd expect in a superhero movie. But it's not a superhero movie. None of them are. Dan, as usual, is correct in his assessment of this film.

    okay so here's the thing, I Don't know who said this was a super hero movie? Maybe Shyamalan said it himself but these people aren't superheroes. Take chronicle for example, the three friends are altered by unexplained energy and that gives them special abilities. The three characters in Glass are more in lines of Lucy, where scarlett's character is still human, her brain is still of a human but the capacity is expanded. There is alteration on both examples but its not like they became captain america or invincible hulk. They still can be killed very easily by very human like weakness, just as they are killed and they are very much human like Iron man who has no special abilities, just a meat bag in a suit and still survives outer atmosphere and Titan without knowing the air is breathable.
