Why Max Landis Won't Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- Hard to criticize an objectively bizarre piece of art that is designed by someone who loves it for people who would love it. It's like reviewing cilantro; you're either going to love it or gag and spit it out. I stand by pretty much every opinion on movies I've ever expressed...But the tone and volume of those opinions ultimately got in the way of me as a person and an artist.
I will probably never watch The Snyder Cut, not out of hatred, but because it features versions of characters I'm not interested in, a villain I don't care about, and is ultimately just a longer, cleaner, truer version of a movie I paid for already and didn't like at all.
What matters is that it happened, and people love it.
Jesus, were you all really expecting me to shit openly on another artist whose work I usually don't like, when what he really was doing was literally his own version of the Kryptonian Epic?
If you've been paying close attention, nothing I say in this will be a surprise. Like everything involving the #kryptonianepic, this, like all the other stories, perhaps isn't what you'd expect from your canon experience of a fictional character you enjoy. But hopefully you'll still like it.
There was this video on Screen Junkies "Max Landis Dream Sequels" where you mention your vision of the Justice League and you mention how Diana is taller than everyone else and I was like "He's had this in his head for years". Loving this Gesamtkunstwerk.
Max this was such a sweet genuine update on your life and process as an artist. I also find it weird to "grow up" with you, but I did! I was watching these videos in highschool and I'm more or less in the same place as an artist. Always wanting to be supportive rather than kick people while they're down. Growing up is weird. Thank you for articulating something so well that I've been processing myself. @spazticjedi on Instagram
@@tommysepulveda6756 of course man! nice to see you
Would love to see a pitch for a duke nukem storyline. Video game or otherwise. Best regards from Brazil.
I really like a lot in Snyder works. But I love DC comics way more. Snyderverse DC is not DC. So I´m 0% or 350% with these movies.
The funny thing is that people feel that they have to watch this movies just to have an opinion about it. Here is my take: I didn't like the previous movies, so I don't feel like I want to watch this one. I don't know if it's good or bad, nor do I care. I'm a grown ass man who can choose not to watch movies I don't have high expectations for.
As for Snyder? I'm happy for him that he got to make a movie he feels good about, I really am, but it's obvious to me that we have very different tastes in movies, and that's ok.
My opinions exactly.
I noticed the Lex Landis thing the other day lol
I *wish* Hawkgirl was in the four-hour cut. Loved her in JSA: Animated.
By the end of that show i really wanted her and Bruce to get togheter.
That's good writing!
@@NostalgiNorden What? Hawkgirl was meant to be with John Stewart. They teased Bruce and Diana so often in that show which did work.
One of my fav characters in that show. They also did Jon Jonzz proud. Maybe WB execs should watch that show
I've enjoyed this Max Landis redemption arc.
How did he redeem himself?
@@assblastly334 By being honest and open with his terrible actions/decisons/past along with actively getting help and doing better. He may have messed up more than others, but he deserves a second chance.
@@user-ny5vp9be8v yeah but the reason he was cast out wasn't for being an obnoxious tweeter and dismissive of other people's art, it was for being an alleged serial sex criminal, which he has barely acknowledged, let alone atoned for.
@@assblastly334 He has acknowledged and just because he hasn't publicly atoned doesn't mean he hasn't. Dirty laundry doesn't have to be public, dude.
@@user-ny5vp9be8v the many allegations were made publicly, he publicly brushed them off and seems to have gone the Kevin Spacey route of trying to dismiss very serious criminal charges and deflect into an admission of fault in other areas while 'working on himself'.
I agree dirty laundry doesn't need to be public, but this is a bit beyond dirty laundry, he was accused of serious, predatory and criminal behaviour. Just saying 'I used to be a jerk on Twitter' doesn't amount to much of a redemption arc.
The Guardians of Ga’hool bit at the end had me dying 🤣
"I'm a bozo"
I know that feeling, because I'm dumb as hell.
So...anyone know where I can watch American Ultra with a different score?
This feels like an epilogue of the most recent trilogy of shorts you made with a very personal twist..I love your honesty, I love how you can reflect on your past and how you’ve moved forward..Don’t get me wrong I love your videos and the epic videos have been my highlight of this shit last year BUT I love the live videos and Instagram where it’s very much just your shooting the shit..as someone with so much respect for you, it’s always makes me feel really good when you seem in a good place in your personal and creative life (I am currently trying to work on some ideas and hope I can glass planet with you one day but I feel I would just be a mess of nerves) as always thank you for the content..very rewatch worthy content btw, I tend to have your videos on rotation when I’m working and need something to listen too!
There can be something kinda infectious and fun about shitting on things online, but becoming an artist and experiencing the creative process myself kinda changed my perspective on a lot of that. Art doesn't need to please everyone and it's kind of a dick move to ruthlessly tear down the passion of others. Love the video and I'm happy that you're in a better mental space dude.
This was like a trip down memory lane. I've been watching your videos since Drunk Comic Book History: The Robins was first uploaded. You mentioning some of your old stuff really reminded me about that time in my life. I used to watch Unbeatable Brain over and over. Then there are all of those Vlog style videos you put out. I remember always thinking that you were living a very fun, charmed kinda life. I even remember Dustin Dances Disney, even though it was taken down.
Keep being you and keep doing what you do.
UNBEATABLE BRAIN!!!! I was living a charmed life, for sure. Just in asshole mode.
zack is close to my age. He grew up during 90's edgelord comics.
Probably more influenced by European comics in Heavy Metal or 2001 AD, Judge Dredd and science fiction than Superheroes. Snyder’s DCEU feels more like an adaptation of Marvel MAX’s SUPREME POWER.
He’s also heavy into mythology, especially ancient Western mythology
@@christopherrichardson2945 Not only western.
You can see an underlying Christian metaphysics in Zack Snyder’s movies, but you can see it super heavily in ZSJL. I appreciate the hell out of this. I’m not Christian but the base Christian story is a very important one. You won’t see many other Hollywood artists use Christian themes.
Boy, if people hated Snyder likening Superman to Jesus in MoS, they're gonna hate when he flies up in front of the sun in JL, haha.
The older I get and the more stuff I make I've realized that no one ever sets out to make something bad, we all just want to make cool shit. Also try not to get too attached to stuff and just enjoy the things that do bring you joy.
Wow after I finished watching the movie I thought "I wonder what Max Landis thinks of this? The whole debacle over it all and the final product we got. I hope he makes a video talking about it all."
at leaast I'm not the only one hahah
I wasn't expecting there to be a character arc for Max in his video about NOT a review of snyder's cut. Way to subvert expectations.
he's definitely the Rian Johnson of his time!
Max this was awesome - and the last few minutes of this video is exactly why I'm so pro Snyder. As a composer myself who constantly battles with corporate meddling, seeing Zack be able to go all out with no interference and get such a positive reaction is so cathartic. Maybe us creatives do know a thing or two :) - You're awesome dude.
I remember while watching the Snyder cut of justice league I kept thinking "holy shit" zach Snyder is taking his dc fanfiction and putting it on screen.
He's living the dream.
You know how much i would give for the opportunity of putting my dbz fanfiction on the big screen?
@@mirror8519 hell,do you know how much people would give to just have the chance to honor a property they love and give it the respect they think it deserves?
Ok I’m turning 29 next week and this gave me some hope. Maybe my 30s will be calmer
I've loved watching you grow and mature over the years, Max! You've been a big inspiration to me as a writer. The passion you have about film and your screenplays mean so much to me. I'm actually turning twenty three this year. I've been lucky enough to work for the BBC and a short film I wrote is going to be in film festivals very soon. Just wanted to say thanks!
That's amazing! Congratulations!
Keep it up!
Thanks for helping me feel like change is possible I feel like we'd get along well. You're a chill dude keep up the videos!
Yeah, even though I have a negative opinion about his DC projects, I've never held any personal animus towards him, those were his visions for the characters/stories. Any 'blame' should fall on the studio execs, that I'm sure knew exactly what Synder had envisioned/planned and signed off on those movies.
Also was interesting to hear your thoughts about your older remarks, and I can certainly see where you're coming from as someone that's also putting their work out there. It is a bit sad though, that at least online, the idea of nuance seems completely dead. Everything is either 'Amazing! or 'Complete shit!'...and those labels also get applied to the creators...which is insane. Anyways, I'm really enjoying your current content so keep at it!
Based on the Snyder Cut, the studio execs should have interfered less or just not hired him in the first place.
Honestly, as someone who has followed this channel since Death and Return, it's been really interesting to see Max change. From long hair, to angry, to rainbow hair to now it's been pretty crazy, but Max has still provided a unique view into both screenwriting and filmmaking that I haven't seen anywhere else. I love to hear his opinions on Superman, movies and lately the Kryptonian Epic videos have been incredibly captivating. His movie pitches were cool and interesting to watch. I'm glad he's feeling more positive about life and I'm excited to see how this channel and his professional career grows and changes
Also as someone who doesn't care for Snyder's version of the DCU, I'm also glad he at least got to see his vision played out after Whedon League. For both him and the folks that enjoy his take
Your enthusiasm and obvious love for the material is infectious. You will always have fans and friends over here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us.
Your enthusiasm for your art is why I love you. Your growth as a person makes me love you even more.
What roll does a writer/director play in adapting an IP or novel or comic? Do they have a certain duty to maintain the essence? Or as an artist should they be given liberty or free reign to make decision against or slightly different then the source material? Also how far is to far for character deviations? And the bit to my three pronged question is...how important is idealogy to your script/story?
I Love the message but still would like to hear you’re opinion on the movie so I’m pretty conflicted inside but I would expect nothing less from a „Max Landis talks about DC movie” video❤️ It was great.
Y’know, I saw the premier announcement for this video and I was like “that’s weird? Shitting on Snyder League? I thought Max Landis didn’t do this kind of stuff anymore.”
And then I felt very gratified when I opened up the video proper.
I still found your opinions on films from that period of your life very valuable.
I stand by them.
On the periphery of all this fan fiction, Kryptonian-Epic stuff are the subtle truth I.E.D.s that you somehow jam into the soil... gradually detonating them in-between explanations and project elucidations... and what’s unearthed is something unexpected, and irreverent, the remnants and relics from your former life, one that is both genuine to you, yet imagined to much of your audience... the fictive, public persona, that vacillates somewhere between “Lax Mandis” to “John Landis’s kid” to “Max Landis, screenwriter/RUclipsr” to "Enfant terrible Head of the Colour Society" doing Nerf Battles in Griffith Park, head wrangler on the Eastside, ... you’re giving us more and more glimpses of the unhedged truth... I feel more than ever there’s a Jerry Stahl-style, PERMANENT MIDNIGHT lurking you that perhaps one of these days down the road, you’ll take the time to write, just plunk yourself down at Slurpin' Ramen like you used to and bang it out... no more masks, no more costumes, or comic book characters... just you and your Alien and the abyss... and I’ll be first in line for it.
bro i feel seen in a way where it's too much and i feel like you have a camera in my house
This was great. Your Superman American alien book was fantastic, I’m a big fan of Chronicle, and Bright was such a great idea that seemed to fall short from direction. Happy to see you taking ownership of what you perceive as bad behavior from your past.
Hey whats the over/under on a Bright sequel?
*Look at that, a retrospective episode of the saga of landis. Produced by Zack Synder.*
American Ultra is a good movie, it's an adorable sweet kinda love story. Perfect? God no but I think it has so much charme, legit.
Oh hell yeah!
I'm so happy that this video is what it is. I'm madly tired of the negativity that spawns from lots of the internet, and as I got older I realized that yeah, reviews that tear apart movies or stories in general can be really entertaining if done well, but I will never have the same level of emotional connection with that, as I do with the ones where people are genually happy, genuinely passionate and incredibly in love with what they're talking about. I think we can all agree that seeing people talking about their passions is one of the best things ever. My mom once made me noticed that while I was talking about Spider-Man (wich is probably the biggest obsession of my life), and since then I've been craving for the wonderful sight of people talking about what they love, getting excited for stories and characters and what they admire about those. I don't care about the "hot take" of the week, but I sure care if you tell me why THAT movie/comic/TV show/character/piece of art in general, in some way makes you feel warm, happy, comprehended, like it was ment to make you feel not alone and safe, cuz it seems made for you specifically, and makes you obviously excited as fuck. Of course talking about the negatives is important and we should not let negative criticism die, because we can learn a lot from that, but hell if it seems like it's been a while since things were balanced. It feels like a big chunk of the internet became the Comic-Book Guy from the Simpsons, to the point where you see him and go like: "Do you even like this stuff? Cuz you spend all the time talking about what you hate and really none talking about what you loved". That's also why I'm a fan of lots of the "Video Essayists" that spawned in recent years, cuz lots of them seem more imprinted in talking about "Why I think that this thing is wonderful" instead of "Fuck this thing, all the people who worked on this are incompetent!".
I'm really happy that you're spreading positivity, not only cuz it makes the world around you change (little bit of a big statement there but you know what I mean), but also because it means you're doing better and better. Well done!
Oh, and fun fact since you mentioned it: I found the pitch for "The Death and Return of Superman" so great, that I memorized it and translated the whole thing, so that I could tell it to my dad, who's a big superhero fan himself, in our language (wich is Italian).
When do you think the #Kryptonianepic will be done? 2021? 22?
Summer
It's so cool seeing Max's development lmfao I honestly didn't realize how much more actualized he seems until this vid (also, shout out to my hometown Davie FL!! I swear nobody knows about Davie unless they lived there or near it lmao)
I myself didn't realize how pointless and ridiculous it can be to shit talk other creator's works until I started getting into writing more. Once you experience (or suffer through) the creative process for yourself, you realize how beautiful it can be to just see someone's creative efforts get realized in the first place
Holy shit dude. You have come a long way. Also, just watched the Death of Batman, and am really glad I found this channel.
Do you have a weekly or monthly podcast where you speak about Superman etc ?
Loved the flick and very happy Zack got to put out his vision. Max I really hope one day they give the ball to you in the DC Universe. I know you will put out something we all will love.
Superman destroying the memorial of people he partially killed IN SLOW MOTION is the most Snyder thing ever. Respect.
Great review of your career over the last decade, and I'm really looking forward to the next one. More pitches. Hopefully one day I'll fund one of those pitches.
I mean, I don't disagree per say, things have gotten too negative, and people are definitely mining peoples dislikes for clicks. The News and mainstream sites have been doing clickbait for years.
However for some, maybe most, going to a video of a content creator you enjoy/someone who is as passionate about the property as you are is a way to digest and quantify their emotions following the movie. Not everyone has a group of friends to talk movies with. To discuss pros and cons. You can critique without being overtly negative.
I know when I came out of TFA my gut reaction was that I hated the movie, but I couldn't tell why. Most places online prescribed to the notion that if you didn't like it it was because Rey was a woman and/or Finn was black. Now I knew that's not why I didn't like it but with no real grasp on why, you feel betrayed and isolated by your own feeling.
Enter Max Landis and the explanation of the Mary Sue. All of a sudden my reaction to the movie snaps into place. I can more easily identify why I didn't like it, what my tastes are. I'm more equipped to express myself and my understanding of the world. Through passionate and honest discussion I'm able to rationalize my emotions and come to a better understanding not only of the art itself but of myself. I think that's important.
Discussion about Art is almost as important as the art itself. Why hold a mirror up if you're not gonna get anyone else's opinions? You're going to stare at yourself and pretend everything is perfect? That's just narcissism. Other people's opinions can hurt, but they're important. We don't live on a desert island.
And if that's all too pretentious then at the very least it's a fun way to have "water cooler" conversations about things you like with passionate people in the digital age.
The problem is: Max Landis isn't the guy who should be doing that. Max Landis is an artist who knows what it's like at the top levels of the film industry. Max Landis should be compassionate and understanding, not weaponizing his ability to concisely articulate what's wrong with things. I'm a human person and I got turned into a character that I don't even like. I stand by everything I've said about movies in the past.
@@Uptomyknees Well I like you Max lol and I appreciate your ability to articulate your opinions :)
This channel has meant a lot to me for a while
Man! I love your and your dad's enthusiasm for the work you both do. It is inspiring, motivating, and contagious.
Thanks so much!
Anytime you mention being bad at making/keeping friends, it makes me want to be your friend haha. And I love the message of supporting artists/weirdos even if you don't particularly like their work. Artists putting down other artists only serves to make them both look bad. And yeah, Watchmen WAS a good movie.
The plot of the #maxlandisepic thickens
I absolutely love Zack Snyder; that being said, I love your takes on Superman. I know you have not liked Snyder’s take, but I love your passion for Superman. I agree with your opinions on Superman, and I’m a fan of Snyder’s.
Keep being you Max ✊
I never thought of your rants on movies , comics and such as being mean. I saw it as a fan speaking from the heart. You just so happen to be famous.
love you bud, this was good. it was fun taking a trip down memory lane because i been here since death and return. your art and pitches bring me great joy and always bursts of creativity. good shit
Max and Zack are similar in the sense that they both have really unique and divisive takes on their DC universes/characters. I really want to see them have some sort of collab on a short film or something.
edit: Also, Jesse Eisenbergs' Lex is amazing.
I’ll always watch when you post. When I was in the army I showed so many people your Superman doomsday pitch. Hope to meet you and pick your brain one day, yes I’ve said that before... and I’ll say it until that happens.
I also really enjoyed Watchmen. Still wish they did the squid though.
the squid is dumb Silver Age shit that sticks out like a sore thumb in contrast to the novel's ahead of it's time grounded atmosphere
the movie ending is better, change my mind
@@He11Jumper ... Why would I try to change your mind? You're entitled to your opinion.
How true the words, "They will stumble, they will fall but one day they will join you in the sun".
Fair criticism is fair criticism
My grandma's phone has a better camera! Also hey good to see you being humble, don't think I've seen that before.
It's good he's using 360p feels like the old youtube vlog days in 2007
Fucking great video bro, recognize so much about your struggles in the past. Glad your in a better place man
I love you Max but I had better camera quality when I had a Myspace page. I'm just teasing I love you haha glad to see you putting more content out.
will the Kryptonian Epic animated film be 4 hours or more?, please say it'll be 4 hours or more
This is the Max Landis I love, thoughtful and intelligent.
You’re in your Peter B. Parker era even now lol.
Sooo..it seems as though Max has gone through his own character arcs, trials and tribulations. We see our hero, with the potential of great power at his beginning, go through an array of emotions and experiences that bring him down, only to find new resolve, pick himself back up, and bring hope to the community once again. Supermax. Maxman. MaxaSupe. One of those.
Oh man Max. I would love to sit and have an actual conversation with you. Your opinions seem to match my own. But holy shit, I had never realized that about Lex Luthor in BvS. To be honest, I loved Jesse as Lex, and if he used you as inspiration, that’s amazing. Something tells me a real world Lex Luthor would be the way he portrayed him. About Justice League, you may have really enjoyed it if you haven’t watched it yet. The score does make a huge difference here. But it’s still basically the same movie, storywise. The thing is, Zack made it way more character driven, and epic. So that is why you may have really enjoyed it.
maxwell
you should know that the death and return of superman pitch has been my favorite video since the day it came out. since its release, ive watched it yearly, if not throughout each year
you should, as well, know that im expecting the final and ultimate kryptonian epic video to surpass it as my new favorite piece of recorded media. if it doesnt, i WILL find you and i WILL... congratulate you on creating a nonetheless spectacular and beautiful piece of art and for the progress youve made as a person throughout the years
Wow, I’ve never really put two & two together between Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor & Max’s personality & mannerisms. I need to know if that were intentional
so I finally got around to watching it
Ive been obssesed with the JL movie and the entire DC movie universe for a while
what an absolutly facinating journy this movie went through, if I had an aunce of filmmaking capital and enough time id make an honest documantory covering every turn.
and im so glad with how it ended here, the film genuinly feels like snyder just went "im gonna adapt a full comic event that isnt written"
the look, the plot lines, the giant cast. took me a while to get going but when I get used to its rythm it was so smooth.
Thanks again for being so open about your struggles with your own mental health. You can’t believe how many people that can and does help.
Also Watchmen is not only in the top tier of comic book films, but it is one of the best films ever made.
Hey were you ever gonna do another wrestling video or something like the Wrestling isn't wrestling video again?
I hope Guardians of Ga’hoole gets a sequel by Zack Snyder. That movie is so experimental and interesting from a chaotic art piece stand point.
Right? Like I don't care for his DC universe at all, but I want him to make it. Even if it's not for me, clearly other people enjoy it. And I'll support an artist trying to put his vision out there every day over corporate studios trying to be as bland as possible.
I wouldn’t mind that as a TV show.
Not trying to start a negative argument but I'm really curious.
For me the Watchmen movie is a deformation of most of what the comic is trying to say, specially the Dr Manhattan being the responsable for the thing at the end.
Do you enjoy it as a separate piece or a good adaptation?
Separate piece with moments of spectacular adaptation.
The tag at the end is great.
Even with the score, American Ultra is a kick-ass movie, and I show it to people all the time as one of my favorites because of its heart, and tone that it puts out there. (yeah that's what I decided to comment on more than the actual point of the video which was very well articulated and great as well)
Hey Max, back in 2013 when you first posted your Regarding Clark video here I commented on it asking to have a deeper conversation about Man of Steel and you obliged and asked me to hit you up on Facebook. It meant a lot to me at the time as an aspiring filmmaker in film school to get to talk to you, I looooove Chronicle.
We had a great, deep, respectful convo about our differences of opinions on Snyders vision in MoS and while we still disagreed heavily in the end, 7 years later its a conversation that has always stuck with me as the kind of discourse surrounding these movies that I wish had been more the atmosphere surrounding these and Zack Snyder.
It means a lot to me to see you post this. Ive grown a lot as a person since that conversation and it looks like you have too and we both got to see this vision through. Thats a win for both us.
Anyways, lets have a follow up! Thanks Max.
I like how your vibe is “I don’t like it, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad or shouldn’t have been made” the internet is way too full of polarization as is so kudos
PS can’t wait for more content from your kryptoianepic #releasetheLandiscut
Can you give a good reason why someone who is not a fan of something would still want it to be made apart from it serving as an example of what not to make?
I met Max briefly at a Labor Day party in Hollywood back in 2016 and he was the strangest most down-to-earth guy I met in LA, was super cool and chill with everyone famous and not. He’s my favorite “celebrity meeting “ I tell people I had in my time in LA
Yeah 2016 was during my whole "wait a minute I gotta get my shit together moment." I actually remember you because of your very distinct name. Glad to see I made a good impression.
Good old days where death and return came out
Your take on Dirk Gently is one of my favorite things!
I know you’re working on a fair few things right now, but have you ever considered doing a pitch for a predator film, be it stand alone or sequel? I’d love to see what you could do!
Probably for the best this was a video focusing on Max instead of the movie.
There's a point in one of your old videos where you're incredulous at some archetype of guy and you go "wha- who trained you? where did you learn to be like this?" I know there's a whole cohort of other people like me who were growing up with your come up and learned a lot while all embattlement due to your opinions was going on behind the scenes. At any rate, I'm glad to still be here.
Your impression of yourself "I'm max landis, I'm so smart" is pretty accurate 😂
I don't know about any of that but your Wrestling isn't Wrestling video was the fucking bomb. Love more videos like that.
it's great to see you using your powers for good, max! :)
wow, max. so i knew you had been accused of being an abusive boyfriend, but i never looked into specifics because i had seen posts of yours openly admitting that yes, you had in fact been abusive, and that you'd been going through a lot of therapy to try to be better, and you'd reached out to make amends to those you hurt, and you're now donating your time gratis to help folks hone their writing craft to tell their own stories. and i thought all of that was great. and even this video i thought was great because it showed a tangible example of real growth from your younger "shit all over everything because it's cool" days, and how this is likely emblematic in a small way of your growth. hence my "powers for good" post.
so maybe i just didn't want to look any deeper because i thought "yes, he's made mistakes but he's owned up to it, and he's trying to make it better and isn't that good enough?", and to be honest, i really just wanted to continue enjoying your creativity and your new found positivity.
but i can't. a friend of mine just showed me the depth of the abuse you're accused of, and, yeah, i didn't know how far it went (maybe selfishly i just chose not to know). and its too far for me to ignore, so i'll have to get off the train now. i know you don't want to do it, but i think it would be great if you could more directly own up to the hurt you've caused. i think you have it in you to do it. it's great that you can talk openly about your "asshole online bullying persona" in this video and own it and directly demonstrate growth, but it's so much more important that you do the same on your other, much darker former acts.
i hope you'll be able to to lead by example at some point because i do think you're in a better headspace now, and you're in a position where you can lead by example by owning and atoning for the hurt you've caused.
This is all something I learned in my late 20s and early 30s. Shitting on other people's work is pointless. If you don't like something, it's fine to criticize, but to be a dick about it, just... why? I try not to use language that puts stuff down like, "Oh, that band sucks" or "that movie was garbage." It's way less stressful to be positive and there's room for everyone's art. So if you see something you don't like, just move on. It's that easy. Hopefully the attitude catches on.
Ok internet, the new hashtag is for Max Landis to #ReviewTheSnyderCut. Get it trending!
My favorite part of this channel are the story pitches. The horror epic with a lot of horror icons sounds like a fun time.
Thanks for being open about your growth Max. I've always loved your work and it's great to see you come back to these videos.
I appreciate that!
Appreciate you being transparent
Yeah, a lot of film/series reviews are "hot-take" centric these days...and a large part of the blame can be attributed to RUclips. Once people determined "engagement" meant likes AND dislikes...all hell broke loose. Now people just chase engagement and kick the hornets nest for fun. It would be nice to see a bit of positivity and more nuance now and again.
I was not all that excited about watching the Snyder cut but since I should watch that before I listen to your review I'll need to see it as soon as possible now
Now I want to see American Ultra.
Your hair suits you way more now, you just look much better in general actually, glad you're doing/feeling better too.
i would highly recommend seeing it if you like this aspect of snyder’s work. it is unfiltered, no holding back, going 100% all the way passion for these characters and it’s so awesome to see
I liked the rainbow hair
I didn't strike me as "cry for help"
Mind blown...Eisenberg emulated you in BVS... suddenly I want to go back and rewatch it. Knowing this might actually make it a better movie
Maximilian Landison I want you to talk about the Schneider’s cut
Have you ever considered doing another video like your Death and Return of superman as it was brilliant mate
I know they say don't talk about Epilogue of the animated series, (DCAU), but you gotta talk about Epilogue of The Synder-cut.
Guardians of GaHoole is a fantastic book series and an ok movie with incredible animation
But you were right in “Regarding Clark,” in my opinion. It is exactly how I felt about that fever dream of a film... That "knightmare" of a film. Also, is Bill Dung's Romaine a type of lettuce?
