ain't no way bro
I love your videos. I really do.
It's a such a pleasure to see them. Great humour and to the point.
You making a sense.
Well done. Thank you. 😁
Ironic.
I totally appreciate that you gotta make your ad bucks and don't fault you for it, but this ai video thing is creepy as hell.
"Evil cannot be creative, it can only corrupt what already exists." - JRR Tolkien
Hollywood isn't jsut insane and evil, they are not even half as clever as they THINK they are. The only question is; how much damage will they do when they collapse?
Disney spent decades saying “love is all you need, power is cool but it isn’t everything” and this is true
Now it’s “power is EVERYTHING and love is NOTHING”
Sounds like the supervillains got into the writers room
Well, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
it's so disturbing, everything got flipped upside down the last 15 years
naw just some mad women got into the writers room
@@azzi6908 well, who are the top villains of Disney?
They believe love is patriarchal. Men and women are never complimentary. There are only accessories and rivals.
The idea of BaggageClaim standing in front of an AMC theatre saying all this while looking for her car is hilarious
But wait do you know where my car is parked?
@@BaggageClaimthis is San Francisco
Someone broke into it already
@@looinrims oh well, you can just find another one
@baggageClaim you can always see Dune again.
@@BaggageClaimGot a favorite book?
It's the undeniable fact none of the major production houses can stand to admit: *good writing is cheap.* Hundreds of millions of dollars cannot turn a bad script into a good movie, but a million dollars spent on the right people will get you one hell of a script.
Conversely, though, you can set a dozen good writers on a script and through some foul alchemy end up with something that brings the worst out of every single one of them. Too many cooks, etc. Some writing teams have good synergy, some don't, and it's unfortunate that much of the studio brass seems to have little ability to recognize which is which.
@sterling7 If you build a writing team based on who works well together, growing it organically, it'll probably work; if you build a writing team by a bunch of business execs checking boxes and then tell them they will work together or sacrifice the work they've already done and leave without pay, it pretty much never works.
You mean *isn't cheap? Good writing is absolutely NOT cheap.
@@omgwat They mean good writing is a tiny, tiny fraction of the overall budget. But studios want to skip all that and just get stuff out. Even if it means wasting literally a hundred times what they 'saved' by skipping the good writers part.
As a parent, my favorite part of a movie is the ride home with my kids. I enjoy the conversation afterwards about what they thought, what I thought, and what we all think is the big picture of the plot.
Recently, those conversations have simply stopped. Nothing in modern movies are actually thought provoking for either adults or kids.
So true
Just shut up and consume, leave the thinking for us.

@@Mjdemass fixed
You often hear the argument made, "It's made for kids". Okay then, so why/when did we lower the bar for kids so much?
The mediocrity is due to all projects being run by committees.
Agreed
That’s why Dune was great compared to the rest of the trash coming out
By woke committees at that.
...of idiots
Problem is not committees, but standards. Most of the standards for making stories are completely off. So already difficult job of making a good story becomes next to impossible. And with writing teams being filled with woke idiots, it is impossible.
It is infinite monkey theory. Except that in this case they will not eventually create "War and Peace".
@@sjentBut how on earth is there absolutely no one there that can put a stop to this when it’s painfully clear that everyone hates this & nothing makes any money.
You have my immense respect for wading through all that sludge in the opening montage on our behalf. 👏👏👏👏👏
Haha my pleasure!

Thank you
Dear... what? 😂
Disney have lost their magic and their ability to make quality now, it's nothing but downhill from here. If anyone still owns Disney shares, you're a fool
You're right. The talent is gone and even if it was there, management wouldn't allow them to make anything of substance. They are a creatively bankrupt company that is incapable of making anything good. The younger generation do not have any emotional attachment to their stories. I suspect there is going to be a lot of pain to come in the coming decades. It will probably be marked by the closures of some of their parks. Millennials will be too old to go and the young people won't want to.
I am the lucky one. I am rather poor, so I own no shares, but very many old Disney DVDs, bought second hand. They are great!
The magic is dead
Aaron Ehasz is the reason why the original show was as good as it was.
Remember, the Legend of Korra was led by the original two creators, and look how that turned out.
Yes!
I enjoy Korra
Korra is fine
I was looking for this comment! While Bryan and Mike were very good with coming up with creative concepts and ideas, Ehasz made it make sense.
@Fanthomas1742
I enjoyed it, too; although there is an obvious decline in quality compared to ATLA.
Seeing what Hollywood has become only reinforced these words I heard years ago.
“You can have a diverse number of stories and characters, but the story you are writing is entirely focused upon diversity then that story is going to be boring and uninteresting and shall be quickly forgotten”
You hit this nail right on the head. The younger generation too often thinks "because I didn't see the work being done, there must not have been that much work involved, so I can do the same thing with no effort." I see this unendingly on site after site. This will eventually come back to hurt civilization, but it will to be late to turn back when it happens.
🎯
This is right. People can't wrap their minds around what it really took to create incredible things. They just don't believe anyone tried that hard...but they did!
We generally grow out of this cognitive stage by the age of 4 or so. It's why toddlers can be amused by Peekaboo for what seems like hours, and kindergartners are past it - they know a reality continues to exist when they can't see it.
Actors and writers on a representation kick would seem to suffer from a specific retardation disorder.
Unless it's just grift.
Gen Z mentality: what I see is all there is. Well, wait for it.
This isn't limited to the movie industry. I see it in many other fields too. Everyone wants to leave their mark without even understanding the field.
Man after One Piece I was so naively optimistic about the Last Airbender.
With One Piece, the creator had insisted on full creative control and was given it.
A camel is a horse by committee.
It's Netflix. One Piece is an exception to the rule. They will find a way to make something quite bland and mediocre.
Remeber both live action One Piece and Avatar the Last Airbender started production and ads in the same time. Both are stark contrast of each other. One the original creator have more control and vetting. While the other seems more like truce between committees of different ideologies, saying good enough.
I thought Netflix massacred Nami's character by making her another cold-hearted modern female stereotype.
One may say, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Nowadays, that statement is considered offensive. 🤡🌎
We're not allowed to judge people at all anymore
@@jmal- I’m triggered. Literally shaking right now.
If you said that in 1924, you were a subversive.
If you said that in 1974, you were a moderate.
If you say that in 2024, you're a racist.
😂 Like Dostoyevsky said man is sometimes extraordinarily passionately in love with suffering.
Grown ass , ex military man. I gotta say your last comments made me tear up alittle. Absolutely nailed it
Wow thank you!
And it's EVERYWHERE. TV shows, movies, video games - anything with a character in it has been butchered. Any coloured female in any video game of the last decade except very few exceptions by indie studios is the same Mary Sue type does nothing wrong is always right bullshit. I'm so sick of it.
As a writer and someone who has studied storytelling for years, your videos are shockingly, and I mean shockingly, on point. Other reviewers, including those celebrated highly in this arena, in my personally estimation, fall drastically short to your insights. In your barbie video when you diagnosed why barbie was so popular in the first 50 seconds with "it's girly" I paused the video and screamed. I have been having this argument with other writers for months now, and you are the first person I have seen to call it dead on. This video was not only an interesting commentary on creative works and how they are corrupted, but your finale to this video genuinely made my heart ache. I hope one day you will read something I have written, and I hope it makes you smile. You are beautiful inside and out, and I wish you all the joy this world can offer.
She may never see (and/or respond) to your comment, but I will. Your commentary is DEAD ON perfect in regards to this content creator. As to why Barbie was massively successful alongside Oppenheimer? Also, DEAD ON. It's the first movie in a LONG while I can think of that caters to girls (little girls), girl girls (teens to young adults) and grown women wanting to relive their girly-ness. "Girls just wanna' have fu...un" comes to mind. Barbie allowed women of all ages to go back to a time before they had to work hard like men, act like men, think and talk like men and just ESCAPE into being super FEMININE for once, to be in their true nature/essence, without judgement or fear.
I personally think Bryan and Mike leaving doesn't play as much of a factor in the show's mediocrity as people think. If we look at something else they did together, The Legend of Korra, they can take things down a divisive route as well. The failings of both shows come down to the loss of this duo of writers from the original series: Aaron Ehasz and Elizabeth Welch - formerly Ehasz.
Aaron Ehasz is not the genius you think he is. His contribution to ATLA pales in comparison to Bryke and Eric Coleman.
Nope,ehasz is the brains behind the thrash called the dragon prince. The only thing he did was write a couple of episodes and made Toph a blind girl, y'all acts as if he literally created the world of avatar. Also,I don't get the hate for Korra even Ehasz himself said he loved it
@@vetarlittorf1807please tell them
I believe you both are greatly overstating what I said and also understating Aaron's role. He was one of the -head- writers and a one of the executive producers of the show, working on and involved with nearly every single episode, 13 of which he personally wrote. That is more than "a couple of episodes". And I was not stating that either were directly responsible for everything about the world--only that their loss, in my opinion, led to a drop in quality of the writing and story coherency. Creators of worlds deserve full respect for bringing their universes into existence. Another example of what I am trying to say would be Star Wars with George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan and the quality of the writing in the original trilogy vs the prequel. @vetarlittorf1807@@jeffersonhassan4558
@@jeffersonhassan4558 He was literally the head writer for every episode. Give him the credit he deserves.
The thing i will never understand is why they keep doing this? Why do I need to watch a live action version when I can just go watch the original? I genuinely dont understand the purpose. Is it to get viewers who are afraid to watch cartoons?
Answer: $$$
The purpose is to print money with a 'guaranteed success'. Most of the time it works. Original projects are scary, investors rather put there money on properties they believe are slam dunks. Remakes of classic Disney cartoons should all be slam dunks. The one thing holding the studios back from success, is the fact that they're morons.
@@xitaris5981 do you think they really make money though? I mean especially on this show, they spend 200 million dollars.
@@hylianchriss in this case it’s Netflix so how much money do they make? Presumably the only way they make money is through new subscribers joining to watch that show specifically right?
@@DrEnginerd1there's nothing on Netflix worth subscribing for
When I saw the sponsor at the beginning my first thought was, "damn the sponsor is the same tool used on Madame Web, huh?"😂
It should be noted that 1 of the 3 original main writers was missing. Aaron Ehasz is credited with being the inspiration for Uncle Iroh's personality and giving us Zuko's redemption arc. Him and his wife were key writers that helped Avatar the Last Airbender be as great as it was.
Ehasz didn't do any of those things. Bryke did with the help of Eric Coleman.
Ehasz didn't do any of those shit, please get your facts right
I think the two comments above are from one person only, they keep saying the same replies in other comments as well.
@@KillberZomL4D42494 or you are mad we are saying facts,next time get your facts right if you don't want to be rubbish and your all mighty Ehasz created the abomination called the dragon prince
@@jeffersonhassan4558 Facts my ass.
Since you always read comments. Thank you, you're a voice of sanity in an insane creatively bankrupt world.
Thank you!
As a video editor, I do not just watch videos for entertainment.
I also watch for inspiration.
The ending of this video evoked such a violent emotional reaction, if I had tears i would cry.
Well done.
I hope it's tears of sadness after dying industry?
Loving the more frequent video releases, I never miss one. Keep up the great work
Though I often enjoy listening to movie/show critiques from the voice of an angry Scottish drunkard, and sometimes from long rants of an irate Welshman, your voice by far is the sweetest listen to.
That's so sweet!
I don't know which is Scottish and which is Welsh!!
The Scotsman is telling you to go away now and the Welshman is asking you to stay for four more hours

@@bryan81584One smells like whiskey, the other smells like sheep.
I really appreciate your perspective & thorough explanations. Your delivery is also fantastic. Thank you, for what you do.
I truly appreciate the time and effort that you put into your videos.
Visuals to match your words, or emphasize a point in a way words alone cannot...
Ideas connected across multiple creative works...
The smooth flow of thought...
Terrific. Just terrific.
Incredibly well said. It goes without saying that you are an order of magnitude better at telling us a story than the soulless, dead behind the eyes, hacks who had the nerve to strike last year. I am sorry you are not nearly as well compensated, but we appreciate you.
I like how you veered into an uplifting ending.
To many essays from those of us on this side of the culture war focus on the doom and gloom of the deconstruction of our heroes and franchises.
Though certainly depression is justified, we all need a glimmer of hope. Inspiration to create something new to cherish.
9:28 - 10:51 Many of the words you said here and what you said after that, perfection. "Good stories speak to us. These are the moments that stay with us. Because we don't want to be pandered to or reprimanded. We want to be taken for an adventure, fantasized as our favorite hero. We want to feel. We want connection and a connection has nothing to do with a color of someone's skin and everything to do with the skill and talent of the writers, the directors, the actors, the animators, all the artist that come together to create magic and that's what's missing from these modern movies and tv shows." Brilliant words.
This is why I love the channel "Bullets and Blockbusters" it's all about how the final project is completely different than the first draft of major movies.
I'm gonna be a buck-fifty with you, are we really going to disregard how Brian and Michael completely butchered Korra? While the live action show is not very good under Netflix there was no guarantee that the show was going to be any better with Brian and Michael at the helm just because of their track history with the sequel to the original show.
I may be wrong but I remember something that they wanted to expand the character and more season but the production was doing something similar to what's happening again. They took most of their creative right and limited the time for production. She was rushed and you can feel it in the season too
everyone seems to forget that it was the head writer, Aaron Ehasz, was the one who really wrote all the characters of ATLA well. Mike and Bryan did the animations and stuff. But Aaron did the writing. And he did it well. There's a clip of him going over how he wrote the lore behind Katara's necklace. That alone shows his capabilities
imo there's no need for a live action in the first place. it was just for attention and money. and bc it was for that, they left out the real charm of the show@@djbobby224
I liked Korra. I liked how rough around the edges she was. I liked how her story showed some avatars were more fiery and more brawler-like than Aang and Roku, who are indeed the GOATs.
I think the idea of EVERY Avatar being a stoic, calm, cool character is boring. Some HAD to be fuck ups, right? Some HAD to take longer to grow. You’re gonna give ultimate power to ONE person and it’s NOT going to produce a jackass every now and then? Not one?
Is she perfect? Or even the best? Hell no. And that’s EXACTLY why I like her.
It felt like the first half of season 1 was up to standard, and then their prep time was basically all used up and they had to wing the rest of the show. They had some halfway decent ideas, and they've even done good stuff in the comics after leaving TLA, but it's clear that if you don't give them adequate time and space, they will flub it.
Man... that outro was outstanding. I mean, I really enjoyed it, but I wasn't crying You're the one that was crying. I don't cry, I work out!
Your writing is beautiful and insightful and funny and I think this was your best piece. Thank you for sticking it out on RUclips.
Your content is amazing! Thank you very much for making this thoughtful videos
Your scripts are always so wonderfully written. Many people (an ever increasing amount, thankfully) are waking up to the many issues plaguing the entertainment industry and modern Hollywood, creatives, and celebrities (and perhaps even society at large), yet very, very few manage to put all this into words so eloquently and fluidly. Your pacing, your talking points, your dynamic examples. It all flows so well, and it shows how much time you put towards it.
If I understand correctly, you have new editors to help with the workload so we can get more of your content? If so and they worked on this, then kudos to them. Some of the inserts were wonderful (looking at you BR2049’s iconic “God…damn it!”.
Always glad to see your channel appear in my notifications telling me that you have a new video.
Your content is always a pleasure to watch.
Love your edits so much. The end got me hard. Thank you. Please keep it up. I'm going to check out your sponsor too!
This what I’ve been feeling and been wanting to express for a long time and you compressed it in a 10min vid, thank you🙏🏾 for addressing/speaking on what’s been on our minds for the longest.
Hollywood and Disney has replaced art and magic with woke activism and "representation", and has forgotten what good stories are all about
Just so well done! You are a true artist. Thank you for putting what a lot of people are feeling into words! I watched it twice. So good. Thanks!
Such a great video! I have been thinking this for such a long time. I was an avid movie lover and now i couldn’t care less, recycling old movies over and over again. Love the content here. Keep it coming.
Soo glad that I got You in reccomended! Awesome vibe!
I admire your pain tolerance; suffering through all these artless, pandering “films” so that we don’t have to. I miss great movies and wish all the time for more original works focused on plot, emotion, and character to be made today. Great analysis and great video!
You're too kind! Thank you!
Very well done, Baggage Claim. As always. Thank you.
Baggage Claim!!! Love the influx of videos!!!! Always refreshing to hear you articulate issues with modern entertainment, it is truly a breath of fresh air
dude i frggn LOVE u. actually TRULY love ur videos and the way you say and phrase things. i wish MORE people had ur reasoning and sense. KEEP IT UP!!!
the world NEEDS more voices like urs!!!!!!!!
I was so dang mad when the last Indiana Jones movie killed off their son. Everything he and Marion went through and they do that. Just wrong.
Nietzsche wrote about this in his book, "Twilight of the Idols". To paraphrase, people can be divided into 2 groups: the artists, and the anti-artists.
Artists are filled with richness and life. They are so filled with power that they NEED to create things. They NEED to share their richness with others.
Anti-artists are hollow on the inside. They are so empty that they NEED to find anything and everything and suck the life out of it.
We are living in an age of anti-artists. Greedy people take our favorite art, suck it dry to make a quick dollar, then fill it with "diversity" because that is the socially acceptable way to give back as little as possible.
Your speech at the end really hits home! Thanks for an amazing video.
This has quickly become one of my all-time favourite channels. Thanks a ton for all of your hard work and insight!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the Sweet Baby brouhaha.
Your INCLUSION of Éowyn, Merry and Éomer made me tear up... Followed immediately by the Lion King, which made those tears spill over.
This means you created more emotion with your words and the images you chose than all the entertainment "for modern audiences" has ever achieved!
You hit the heart of the matter. 09:56 "Good stories aren't obsessed about what makes us all different. Instead, they focus on our universal experiences."
And Boom!
10:02 Rohirrim. (Have you seen the videos where Tolkien's voice is reading Ride of the Rohirrim while movie footage plays? There are two on RUclips and they're beautifully made.)
You're the first person to truly compare what works for victim points on social media, yet why it fails spectacularly when it comes to storytelling.
You also correctly identified the need for hard work, which is also the theme of:
"Call me Chato" Mar 24 2024 video about a Canadian govt-funded media company, POV. They had a commercial featured during an NHL game in which a lady of colour declares that "BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folk" don't have the "privilege" that "straight white males" have in the entertainment industry. (She does not specify whether she means the Canadian entertainment industry but that is implied.) She concludes with: "Stop hiding from our industry's lack of diversity and go to POV to pledge to help fix it." "Cheque Your Privilege"
I thought of his video immediately when you began to talk about why "diverse voices" are considered so important. (In his video, he starts to review the commercial at 5:21, although the intro of what he says is definitely worth hearing first.)
"Call me Chato" is a former network executive and therefore has a truly unique perspective because it includes career experience in the industry.
You are a treasure. I really hope you found your car and were able to get home!
Best wishes!! 🙏🥹💐🧡🐰🥕☀️
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment
@@BaggageClaim thank you for reading it! 🥰🙏💐
Suffering is just how the awesomeness of toilet money experiences the world
Bravo. Absolute masterclass, elucidated clearly and eloquently but directly.
I just discovered your channel. And I am quite literally overjoyed with how someone is able to so succinctly. Describe the issues with modern entertainment. You have done very well, ma'am congratulations.
I would agree on the "mistake of not trusting the creators" had I not seen the PJO show. They trusted Rick Riordan and look what happened...
In the movie/TV industry, it's always been, if you want to win big, you gotta gamble. I think the MCU era convinced Hollywood that if they just find the right formula people love then they can print $$$ forever without risk. Turns out that was a limited time phenomenon. Now we're back to having to take risks with new projects, and that means sometimes they'll fail even if they do give the creators full artistic control.
The real issue with Netflix's Avatar the last airbender series is they have effectively surrounded themselves with "yes men." The result is an uninspired circle jerk. And the actual result is nothing more than flat out "BORING" on all counts. The recent Gollum video game has more plot and structure than Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender Live action. And the main issue is most executives get overly focused on just shotgun blasting fans with content they don't want period.
Thank you. You won my heart with that ending. I can feel the passion in your words and your voice.
Great video. Thanks for bringing up Wish as well, terrible messaging in that film and can't believe it ended with "and everyone gets everything they ever wanted without consequence. Oh and she's also magic. The end."
One thing I noticed when I came to the US and worked on several projects that were failures was the corporation doing almost everything via committee. It's almost as though no one wants to paint a target on their back for a failing project so they default to sticking in a pack like a bunch of wildebeest trying to avoid the crocodile just below the water line. I remember thinking to myself all those years ago, in a huge corp, the feminine consensus model is strong here. The operating committee, the people committee, the technology leadership, on and on and on.
You suffer. "So We the Fans" do not have to. And I appreciate that. 😊
Your videos are perfect in my eyes!!! Thank you.
9:42 - 10:50 Thank you for so eloquently stating what we are all thinking 👏👏👏
Too many chefs , spoil a dish.
brilliant work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank u Baggage Claim!!!!xxx
THAT last few minutes' montage and dialogue was magic...
I love that you're churning out more material, but don't start rushing and leaving out the heart.
I'd much rather have to wait but continue to get to KNOW that when I see something drop from you, I'm gonna click right away, without hesitation.
I know only positivity and (frankly) sycophantism tend to get upvoted (and I guess thus likely read by the creator) - I suppose innately to counter the incessant cesspool that online comms have become - but I honor honest bluntness and so I'll offer it:
As you've increased your pace over the last few weeks, the quality has dipped.
I love your content too much not to let you know.
Thanks for all you do, BC.
❤️
I agree with most things of this, but think it’s a bit troubling to accuse a movie story of being stitched together by A.I., while promoting an A.I. company sponsoring your video.
My thoughts exactly LOL
I find hilariously ironic.
Idk, i feel what matters is how it’s used. Just bc a particular technology or product is mishandled or tainted by one group of idiots, it doesn’t mean the fundamental technology is bad. The vak-scene is another good example.
Hello. I wonder if you can cover the "Poor Things"
It has empowering prostitution, socialism, blames all men, it has it all!
Does it have strong Wahmins?
Yeah, that was a weird one. The more I think about it, the less I like it. The set-up and world building was fantastic, it felt like Terry Gilliam at his finest, but the final act took all that good work and squandered it as it shed it's chrysalis and showed it's true Oscar-bait colours. Disappointing.
@@stoneymahoney9106"the more I think about it, the less I like it" pretty accurately describes most Hollywood productions coming out
I DISLIKED the ENDING SOOOOO MUCH. Such a promising beginning and wonderful visualisation and then it ends with that poop of an ending. What a waste!
Say what? 🤦♀️
Great video. Great channel. Your work is important! Thank you.
I love this women.
She not complains, that Hollywood drives the woke hype train.
She pinpoint it exactly where the issues are and shows in one video more competence of story telling and editing then the cinema companies in their infamous "blockbusters".
Thank you very much Baggage Claim.^^
The original series was iconic.
Everything after that has been a fart in the wind.
Well said. I just hope that people who don't realize this also see your videos. I hope the industry will change for the better but as the years pass, I'm more disappointed.
That's an amazing video and everything you said is spot on! I respect your work a lot - Thank you!
The irony of complaining about lack of creativity in Hollywood just to later promote a AI video generator site…you lost me
AI generators are a tool that allow people to create videos. Using a tool does not mean that you are not creative. A person can use AI creator and produce work that is crap. A creative person that is willing to put the work in to learn the tool can create amazing things. There is no contradiction in Baggage Claim’s video and the sponsor.
Exactly
The irony of her making a video on creativity but accepting a sponsor for AI. I get you need to hustle but way to choose your partners, shameful irony
You got me teary eyed in the end.
And you’re very right. Last time i went to the movies i watched Gojira Minus one and loved every character and worried whether they’d make it or not.
I don’t remember when i first saw it, i was like 5 maybe 6, but Dragonheart is still to this day one of my favorite movies of my life. (Those other things that claim Dragonheart are fever dreams). Good actors, good script and you connect with every character and Draco’s sacrifice has NEVER failed to make me tear up.
Now the slop that today brings, with obvious exceptions can even make me crack up and i turn to a block of rock to get through the day as best i can… i hate what idiots have made of movies and entertainment in general
I almost cry at the end of your video. I miss good old day that movie is about good storytelling
I love your content, but please, please stop shilling for AI. It will be the death of creativity, talent, and meritocracy.
Walk into the surf and rage against the oncoming tide. That will be about as effective as trying to stop AI.
Good or bad, it's coming and nothing can stop it.
Just lost ALL respect for you after AI. Unsubscribed and any opinion you have on media is now worthless to me
I just love your videos and share them all the time!!
Really liked the ending of your video. It reminded me of Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society where he tells the boys about the real meaning and joy of poetry.
I saw your after skool video. :). well done.
I went to film school, i was one of the few working class kids in my year. Most of the students didnt understand character conflict/stakes, were nieve about the world and lived in a politcally correct bubble - dispite most of these students lacking in diverse friendship groups. the subjects in their short films were school relationship break ups and not doing uni corsework. I think thats very telling of their life experience. I wonder if their childhoods shielded them from hardships, and so they accidentally lack empathy and understanding towards the human condition.
Beautiful and truthful video.

damn your output is bonkers right now! thanks for all the thoughtful content.
Closing monologue earned my sub. Thank you.
Fantastic as usual, but that last minute about those great moments and why we go to the movies was worth the price of admission. Seriously you should clip that, because that alone was very potent.
Seeing that little clip of LOST thrown in at the end made my wee heart flutter!
The ending was brilliantly put! Whole heartedly agree 🙌
Enjoyed your comments & insights, have liked & subscribed .
Only the beautiful Baggage Claim's lovely voice and eloquent diction can tell me something so depressing without causing mr further depression. Thanks again for all your work, dude.
First, I was excited to see you posted videos two days in a row! Thank you, Baggage Claim!
Anyway, I couldn´t agree more about _Wish_ . I wanted to like it; I really did. But it´s underwhelming. I just wasn´t awed and thrilled the same way I was when I first saw Disney Renaissance´s films, particularly _The_ _Hunchback_ _Of_ _Notre_ _Dame_ (1996) , _Hercules_ (1997) and _Mulan_ (1998) .
I recently rewatched _Hercules_ (1997) and was reminded why it´s perfection.
The protagonist´s practically a god, a ridiculously strong one, kind too. But EVEN HE had to go through a literal hero´s journey. Despite his good heart, he wasn´t without character flaws, and didn´t initially get the true meaning of heroism. In contrast, Asha´s without faults or mistakes.
The heroine and supporting characters also go through rigorous character arcs of their own. At the end, they all emerge transformed, and for the better. In contrast, Asha´s friends possess neither distinct backgrounds nor clear characters of their own. Why they´re memorable is lost on audiences. Seems they´re only there to be Asha´s sidekicks, check all the boxes and nothing more.
And don´t get me started on the antagonist and his minions. They´re arguably the best villains ever. Hades, Pain and Panic are, by turns, tremendously funny, really witty, truly terrifying and most of all, relateable. In contrast, King Magnifico´s history, personality and intents are confusing. The film opens with his tragic, traumatic past but it doesn´t tie in with the rest of the story.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Your closing comments on this one made me cry.
Thank you
