Very minor, but I had the understanding that Luke’s green lightsaber was for practical purposes rather than marketing, as the blue wouldn’t have shown up as well against the backdrop of Tatooine during the fight at the beginning of ep6
@Adam Wasiura If new ideas aren't necessary, that would mean there shouldn't have been a Star Wars film after the first one, or that Star Wars and all stories since the beginning of time bar one would be unnecessary. You do realise how absolutely absurd this notion is, don't you? I'm entirely convinced you're trolling now. Moreover, the reasoning for ideas such as green lightsabers or Dooku's curved lightsaber were for practical reasons, making them necessary.
""Star Wars should be simple." Same people: "TLJ is great cause deep themes. Its just so deep you don't understand them." Also also same people: "Its for kids, stop thinking." God I hate these reasonings.
If you want a good star wars that is deep go play KOTOR 2, if you want a simple buy goof star wars story go play the Jedi knight games or even the new fallen order game
@@sportsgamer8524 Cosmo probably said all of them; he supports and repeats nearly everything RLM says like "SW should be simple," but then takes it to another level by supporting TLJ, which I don't even think RLM does.
OmegaPyron No RLM are not fans of TLJ either. They have however been way to friendly with it. Thank good we have Mauler who called the film out for what it is.
Most issues in the prequels are kind of like paper cuts, annoying but minor But the sequels are like torn limbs, or an animal mauling. Fundamentally damaging but the body goes into shock so it can survive. You don't feel the pain, you also don't feel anything. You're bleeding out but everything seems fine. But it's not
Arcexey You talking about Anakin before he became Darth Vader? You expected him to be born a sociopathic mass murderer, and then become a sociopathic mass murdering Jedi, before finally becoming a sociopathic mass murdering Sith Lord?
Luke’s green saber for ROTJ was not merchandise based it was actually meant to be blue but the rendering was too difficult to achieve at the time in the Tattoine sail barge sequence so it was made green from there.
Movie: starts with two Jedi that are trapped, after their ship is destroyed, with their own crew in it, poisoned, assaulted by Droids non-stop, cool fights, cool force powers... After that there are few other mini-battle against other droids, and a chase under water where they have to escape from THREE gigantic sea creatures! Then they save the queen and escape from a blockade that almost blow them out of the universe. They have to go low-profile, for a while, before an epic race scene, followed by a brief lightsaber duel! Yes there are the political scenes, after that, but they are necessary to show 1: The Republic doesn't work anymore; 2: The Profecy exist; 3: The Jedi don't trust Anakin; 4: Padmé has to do things his way; 5: Jar Jar, like in the rest of the movie, is one of the main reasons why they all succeed. Then the return to Naboo with a massive conflict divided in four battle: 1 Regain control of Theed; 2 Defeating the Droid Army; 3 Defeating Maul; 4 Destroying the Battle Station. And then the conclusion that builds up even more story than what we already learned. Cosmonaut: "This Movie is boring... " Ok(?)
I think the main problem was the overly stoic, almost robotic acting leading up to and during all that action. I think the mistake Lucas made was he wanted to portray the Jedi as this highly self-disciplined order, which is great, but ended up poorly executing them so most of the Jedi seemed bored or disinterested, uninvested in the world around them. It wasn't until the very end of ep 1 that Kenobi emoted a little - angry and then sad over the apparent death of his master. I think that's why most people say ep 3 was the best prequel, the characters were more emotive, even if it was, at times, clunky like with Anakin and Padme. This can be taken too far, btw. In the sequal trilogy you have nothing but hypercharged, over the top, nonstop emotion, action, ect at the expense of reason and plot that got worse as the sequels went on.
@Go Time Now They were. And you can have serious characters but they still have to be relatable. One of the reasons Spock from Star Trek worked so well was he was surrounded by such expressive and well-defined characters. His seriousness helped to ground them as well as helped throw them in sharp relief. Think of how dull Star Trek would have been if every character had Spock's personally - that was kinda how Ep 1, 2, and a little bit of 3 were.
@@177SCmaro This actually one of the better critiques of the prequels I've heard, I do have a hard love for them so when people just describe something as 'boring' or 'unenjoyable' I feel the argument is flawed from the onset. But you actually took into account what the author attempted and why you believe he failed. whilst I would disagree somewhat as I really did like Qui-gons take on a more rogue-ish Jedi Knight and how him and obi wan while having a very obvious bond would still at times have disagreements. Though I do wish they both had more time together, as past the initial scene on the trade federation they are together and interact less often (especially on tatoine). But yeah still reasonable criticism.
@@177SCmaro "Jedi seemed bored and uninterested" - highly disagree. Obi Wan seemed very attentive, disciplined and had the utmost respect for his master and showed that by his dialogue towards him. Qui Gon showed variety in emotions from being a stoic leader, to a warm father figure to young Anakin, to concerned for Anakins mother and intrigued about his origin to being cheeky by using the force to alter dice rolls. I found these 2 Jedi fascinating so this bored criticism really bugs me. Its best exemplified in the final battle when Qui gon is trapped between the laser walls and he chooses to sit and meditate peacefully in the middle of a battle to the death. That is who Qui Gon Jinn was
Loved Kotor I & II and nothing impacted me more than the Darth Bane trilogy. Without the prequels I dont think Star Wars would have been explored in these ways.
Silverhollow Prime My thoughts exactly. The original trilogy had the best movies and the prequels gave us the best spinoff content. The sequels failed in both departments *cough* the last Jedi *cough* Star Wars resistance
So George Lucas is a soulless toy seller and Disney Isn't??? Disney. A company that barely has had any original ideas since Micky Mouse and his friends. A company who changed C3PO's arm just to sell more toys of him. A company that advertises X legacy SW character in a film and then barely shows them in said film. But George is soulless. They're like the EA of Movies and TV shows. They just acquire companies and IPs and then run them into the ground like Guitar Hero. Pirates of the Caribbean is probably the most original idea Disney came up with recently and guess what? It's been ran into the ground. This guy has the BALLS to ask me what planet I'M living on???
George most definitely isn’t just a toy seller. Shit, he took a major risk with the merchandising of Star Wars because something like that didn’t exist back in those days, not to mention that Star Wars was expected to flop.
When he starts ranting about how kids are brainwashed into buying these toys, yet as a kid the only Star Wars toy I ever asked for was a single figure of maul. Which I got....and lost😢 but still, he acts like all kids were like him. Yet I liked them and never got any toys
Same. All I can remember owning from the prequels were a few toy lightsabers (that I would've gotten regardless of if they were prequel lightsabers or ot lightsabers) and a keychange of that hovercar from the second movie.
Azariyel Varro I’ve got a mace windu lightsaber (still got it after years) and when I got it I didn’t even know who mace was bc I hadn’t watched them yet. And I’ve got a darth Vader one which I got bc of the ot Edit: I think this is why I love purple lightsabers so much and why I liked mace as a kid
z NightOwl z I only remember asking for LEGOs related to the Prequels because I wanted to have my own clone army and have battles like in the movies because I love the Prequels.
Viper’s Got You in the Pipe Five by Five I never specifically asked for LEGO toys but I got some as a kid bc they knew I watched the clone wars But I never really had many LEGO toys tho
“Captain Panaka” always makes me laugh, “Panaca” in my language means “imbecile” or “idiot”. They actually changed his name to Captain Panassi or something like that, many characters in Star Wars have names that are actually rude words in my language (Brazilian Portuguese btw), or funny puns in a way or another like Count Dooku (literally means “Count Takeintheass”) and I’m not even making this up they changed his name to “Count Dookan” in the brazilian versions of the dubs and on the subtitles... This is so hilarious Jesus fuck edit1: “Count From the Ass” or “Count I do Anal” is also applicable. ROFL
@@pedroayresb it's a small whoosh but i thought just saying brazilian was abit funier than Portuguese. Not to mention that Brazilian Portuguese and normal Portuguese might have differences in them like Amarican English and British English though i doubt to that exstent. I do understand they speek Portuguese in and around Brazil (but don't know which exact countries, i do think Argentina speek Portuguese) and i do know they speek Spanish in Mexico.

@The Infamous bro you're taking a random prequel quote too seriously. I don't think everything anomaly says is right. He's also not the only prequel defender in the community, in fact I'd argue you'd rarely see many prequel bashing videos much anymore. If you are looking down on the intelligence of people who agree with a certain view you need to reconsider how shallow of a thought that is. I don't care about how you feel but I do think the phantom menace is superior to the force awakens. It's more subtle, nuanced, has better symbolism, and has better characterization. I wouldn't call it perfect but I'd place it higher than the force awakens. I don't see the force awakens the same way as the rest of the sequels as it has much more going for it but I wouldn't say it's good nor bad. It has little characterization (other than poe), has a very noticable and on the nose similarity to a new hope and kills one of the most important characters to the franchise so unceremoniously. Bringing it back to the quote I made, I was trying to make a point that the prequel hating bandwagon which was at a high in 2014 and 2015 had little substance and it looked at the films very one dimensionally and not excepting a different perspective. They werent studying it to all its aspects if you will
@The Infamous I do not agree with anomaly 100% as I said earlier and I do not believe the hate comes from butthurt fans with nothing to go off of. I acknowledge that opinion and its reasoning but I respectfully disagree. I just don't think it's looking at the movies in all perspectives
This is unfair criticism the difference here is that George Lucas is a person, an individual creator. Disney is massive corporation, a collection of people who yes, are trying to make money What you’re forgetting is the hundreds of people who are trying to make the best film they can. It’s completely unfair to discredit them especially seeing the care they put into all the films
Revan Depends on you’re definition of good leadership but I’d say yes, every director they’ve hired are great at directing actors, their cinematography is beautiful, and the new additions they bring are all pretty interesting Just like every director they have flaws J.J is too caught up in his mystery box and Rian has problems in plot and tone and they both had problems following up after each other’s movie but bottom line, you can’t direct the biggest movie franchise in the world without being a good leader
@Thomas Bequette If they care about Star Wars, why have they completely ruptured the narrative of it and nullified the OG trilogy and the prequels? Better yet, why couldn't they at the least provide a somewhat cohesive story? The new trilogy is the pointless trilogy I've ever seen. It added nothing to Star Wars, it only took away from the narrative, lore and rules.
It's really eyeopening reading Episode I's crawl fro yourself and realizing how simple the plot is to follow after years of being told it's boring. Personally I've found I like the political aspect in stories like these, it makes the worlds seem more real.
@Valdet Paumi Not just in the opening crawl but Ep1s plot is considerably more grounded than the crapfest in ep9. Naboo has been blockaded, the senate can't do anything about it cos of the bureaucracy, drastic action was taken, Palpatine took advantage to maneuver into positions of greater power, right under the noses of the Jedi no less. It made sense, it was plausible, made the main villain intelligent and threatening. I think the trade federations dispute with Naboo could have been expanded on a bit better but that's a minor issue I have with ep1. But in ep9, they made the emperor put a bullseye on his back by announcing his return to the galaxy and dares the galaxy to come after him. PT and OT Palpatine/emperor would have used cunning and maneuvered his way into wresting control of the galaxy. He would never have been this stupid to dare the galaxy to band together and come after him.
@@kaptinbarfbeerd1317 True, shit like that might work for saturday morning cartoons, but in a serious story it's a VERY bad move for the villain because you basically did half the work for the heroes by telling them where you are.
@@kaptinbarfbeerd1317 We went from villains using stooges as disposable pawns so they can avoid being stopped to weirdoes daring the heroes and anyone else to come to stop him.
Nobody is saying its complicated. We are saying it makes no sense. Unless your reading the books or whatever alot of the things happening really make no sense. Like how the senate can't trust the testimony of two jedi knights sent to act as ambassadors.
@@appropriate-channelname3049 The 2 Jedi knights were not sent by the senate, but by the supreme chancellor to solve it quietly. And we are dealing with Qui Gon, who is not a master on the council exactly because he was not as the rest. He butted heads with them. And his master was the "political idealist" that disagreed with the republic. And it was their world vs the guys who kept their power well up in the second movie. Money speaks. It's basic politics. Did you ever see any sort of bribery or corruption? This things are common as dirt. It does not matter if in a system based on fairness this would look suspicious, they aren't in such a system. It isn't in the books, it is on screen. Another example please.
@Adam Wasiura Which he won't do when this video series perfectly deconstructed and debunked all of his points and Cosmonaut still has enough sense to let things go when his points have been argued against (eg. conceding to MauLer's points against his Raimi Spider-Man video). Again, stop replying to every single comment on these videos with the same "hurr durr prequels bad, Anomaly bad, Cosmonaut good" rhetoric and make actual arguments. I've told you once and I'll tell you again the way you're acting is both childish and mentally unhealthy to do this to such a degree. At this point, I'm convinced you're either a troll with nothing better to do or seriously mentally unwell to keep doing this on these videos without offering any substance to your comments.
@Adam Wasiura Then how about you start doing that in response to people rather than constantly saying "you're a child" and other derivatives of it that make you look like an embarrassment. I'd also advise you watch through Anomaly's other prequel videos in order to double-check how your evidence holds up. Had you done this from the beginning rather than spamming the comment sections of several videos with the same baseless rhetoric, we wouldn't be at this point.
@Adam Wasiura That's a complete misinterpretation of Qui-Gon's character. Qui-Gon is characterised as being somewhat rebellious compared to other Jedi, letting the will of the Force control his actions rather than the Jedi code. To say he was just "grumpy" throughout the film is untrue, and he was static due to playing the mentor role and already being whole as a character. By the same metric, you should be considering ANH Obi-Wan as bland and static despite him also filling his purpose in the wider narrative. Obi-Wan beat Darth Maul through exploiting his arrogance and him doing so was an essential step to him being granted the rank of Jedi Knight without which he would've been unable to train Anakin, so to say it was for "no reason" is a complete falsehood that can only be interpreted such a way by paying zero attention to the film. If you consider Anakin wanting to leave Tatooine, wanting to become a Jedi and wanting to find a way to save his mother, then later wanting to learn to stop those he cared about from dying in episodes 2 and 3 to be unmotivated, then there's clearly something wrong with your criteria. He didn't cause the Jedi to break their code either. Having a vote on the matter isn't the same as an absolute code. Yoda's dialogue when conceding to Obi-Wan to let him train him also suggests that the majority had ruled in favour of Anakin being trained and that Yoda (and likely Windu) used their authority to suppress it, as hinted by the line "Agree with you, the council does." Qui-Gon bringing Anakin to the battlefield can be justified through his belief in the living force protecting the Chosen One and wanting Anakin to learn from him despite not being able to teach him directly. Is this plan a good one? Not quite, but to say it's stupider than Holdo's is completely wrong when her plan provided zero benefit to the Resistance and only weakened them through infighting. I assume your last point is referring to Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon at the start of the film? The Trade Federation ships all landed on a small area of the planet and being able to sense where someone is has been a staple skill of the Force established as early as A New Hope. To say this is "coincidental" is proof of not paying attention to points made very clear within the films. Still, I commend you for at least making an argument for once and not just saying to anyone who disagrees with you "hurr durr you're a child. Prequels bad because I say so."
@Adam Wasiura You obviously do not know what a discussion is if that is your only counter-point or the necessity of coherently explaining one's points within a debate, nor do you have any points with which to respond to what I said and resort to ad hominem, thus showing the weakness of your "argument". Again, actually participate in discussion, or go annoy others with your idiocy elsewhere, not that I expect you to make a logical decision either way at this point. Also, if your definition of anyone who wants to partake in a logical and organised discussion rather than hurling immature insults in the way a monkey hurls their turds is to call them a "fucking rat" rather than offering a counter-response, it's clear there's no point trying to appeal to your with logic when it is something you are devoid of.
@Adam Wasiura Because discussion allows people to learn from other perspectives and expand their knowledge, something you're clearly unwilling to do. If you think such a plot-hole riddled mess as TLJ that destroyed any semblance of logic within the Star Wars universe before TROS ruined things even further was fine yet find the prequels without merit, however, it's clear discussion with you is pointless. Also, you do realise fans complaining about the prequels just as you're doing is why Disney got the franchise to ruin it beyond repair in the first place, don't you? Let me ask your contradictive self this as a closing response - If you're so against the idea of discussion, why are you even bombarding every single comment in this and Rick Worley's video with stances opposite to you when you know it won't be productive to yourself or the other person? You could easily just ignore them and go elsewhere if you're so against the idea of a civil discussion, which would frankly be better for everyone.
Yo seriously! Cosmonaut doesnt seem to realize that while these are human characters, they are NOT Earth humans. I think George did very well with crafting a dialectic style that feels not of this Earth. Like you said, it feels very organic. Even though I like some of Cosmonaut's reviews, I honestly feel like he watched star wars without making any real attempt to understand it at all. Hes just constantly questioning why things are happening but doesnt seem to realize the answers are right in front of his face.
@@dookiebrains3824 I had an argument with some prequel hating asshole and I told him everything you said and he insulted my telling that my argument is the “lamest excuse on why you think dialogue is not bad” and “the oRiGiNaL tRiLoGy’s DiAlOgUe fLoWs NaTuRaLlY aNd tHe pReQuEl dIaLogUe dOeSn’T”? What the hell? If he thinks that then it’s his problem but why would he trash me because I explained everything and he didn’t? he won’t give any concrete examples to why he think that I am wrong and also that bitch took it too far to calling me someone with “cognitive dissonance”.
My dad took me to watch the re-release of the OT before phantom menace and then he took me to watch all of the prequels. I don't get his point about being brainwashed.
When you see a movie as a kid, you only remember the good parts of the movie. As a kid you probably slept through the character-building stuff because it was "boring". Seeing the old outdated choreography right before you see the new flashy fantastic choreography probably helped to boost your perception of the film.
@@casecao8412 By this genius logic people would absolutely enjoy newer versions of classic films and probably even go on to say those movies 'raped their childhoods'. Please.
@@EarFarce4 What? You literally just contradicted yourself. If you enjoy a movie, then how does it 'rape your childhood'? Wtf is that even supposed to mean?!
@@casecao8412 That was really well said. But I think by putting politics or things that adults would appreciate, allows for your perception of the film to change as you grow up. Lucas didn't view kids as many others do, impressionable can't think for themselves etc. I think what he did was really great and am kinda sad cosmonaut couldn't see it this way. A very good precedent that has sadly not been replicated in star wars ever since. Like with the rebels tv show for instances, besides Thrawn your given a very surface level narrative, that will stay that way no matter how many times you watch it.
@@casecao8412 The point was how the majority of this prequel hate is a circlejerk echochamber where every moron becomes Roger Ebert by dissing these three movies in particular and treating the other 3 like the second coming of Christ.
I really hate how he calls anyone who likes the prequels an idiot, really shows what kind of person he is. Also his video seems out of date like it was suppose to have been made years ago when prequel hate was more common instead of now when they are more loved.
Such a refreshing view of the prequel trilogy. Thanks for this. I agree on so many levels. I went to see all the prequels growing up while of course already having a deep love for the OT. The prequels ran from age 4 to 9 for me and I still enjoy them to this day. They're not perfect movies by any means but they are well thought out Star Wars movies. Like them or not they tell a coherent story that links up well with the originals. Let's not forget the clone wars either. I never needed a nonsensical clustered mess of a sequel trilogy to appreciate GL but at least the amount of criticism the man has had to take from 'fans' over the handling of his own creation is finally being aimed at more appropriate people who have actually damaged Star Wars. Thanks again for the video
Prequel haters: George made the prequels for merchandising. *Fast forward to when Disney acquired star wars* George donated majority of what Disney paid him, George seems to be more depressed about the treatment of his story then how much he is getting paid, Bob Igor books tells how George got angry and went crazy when he found out they would not follow it even use parts of his story for the sequels. So from this seems like George really did love star wars they were almost personal to him. In an interview George look like he was going to cry and stated star wars is his children.
@Adam Wasiura remove the prequels and star wars isn't what it is bro. You take for granted many stories of star wars yet undermine their source. No prequels there is no dooku, rule of 2, no ventress, no grievious, no clone wars, no mandalorians, no Jedi temple, no coruscant, no saw guerrera, no depth to Vader, no ahsoka
I appreciate your attitude and will to stand up for what you believe in. I honestly believe this will be a great watch. Also while on the topic, I love how Cosmonaut sometimes just says things about what he's reviewing that just aren't true. Like a simple watch of the material could prove some of the stuff he says is wrong. He does this about three times in his Death Note review.
Hey, don't discredit movie critics (RUclips or mainstream), they clearly know what they are talking about. Mainstream critics bashed films like T2 : Judgment Day, The Thing and Alien, at the time those movies came out, and they praised The Force Awakens and Last Jedi when those movies came out. I rest my case ... The ones who are trully illiterate on the movie making process are the directors like Ridley Scott, John Carpenter and George Lucas. The real experts on movie making are the movie critics (movie fans), like RLM and Cosmonaut VH who bring forth facts NOT opinion!
Racho Rachev sorry man, that’s bullshit. The only “critics” that can state facts are accomplished directors, writers, professional staff and/or people with film degrees from real universities. Anything else is simply option, typically subjective, on the finished product with little to knowledge on the actual details, mechanics, and the professional experience to understand the intent of the writer and director.
@@DC8091 Sry man, I was trying to be sarcastic. I actually hate chanles like RLM and online critics, and T2, The Thing and Alien are some of my favourite films of all time : ) Thats just it, online critics only provide opinion (no sarcasm this time)
The most unbelievable thing about Prequel critics is that none of them seem to be able to follow the plots of the films. It’s really not hard to follow them at all, so by using that as an “argument” they just reveal how dumb they are.
I quite like Cosmonaut's videos, but that one was really weird. It felt like a leftover from the era when blind prequel hate was popular. It did have like one or two valid points, but most of it felt like he tried to find excuses for saying that him not liking the prequels is more than just an opinion, when it really is just an opinion. I'm glad to see it destroyed by facts and logic.
There are times I like Cosmo, but there are also times he *really* irritates me. He wants to trash Resident Evil 3's Remake? Right there for it. But I don't think the Prequels deserve what they get, especially from someone who seems to do nothing but suck the Sequels off. Every single criticism of the Prequels applies to the Sequels.
The worst thing cosmonaut said 18:44 He doesn't say -i ll give my honest take He declares that he pretty much wants the prequels to suffer the hatedom again WTF?
@Adam Wasiura Say you . And I disagree a series of movies solely made for children wouldn't have as much death of main characters ( as well as burning , disarming ...decapitating ) , wouldn't have this much politics . In fact all things put in perspectives the originals qualify much more as movies made for children .
@Adam Wasiura Children like action sequences but I would argue that most adults like them too ( which is a weird argument since one of the biggest argument people have against the prequels is that there is too much dialogues and not enough actions) but you say : "they hate cool characters" I don't follow you , what are you referring to ? Generally kids love cool characters . "don’t tell me I’m wrong." You are not right then .
@Adam Wasiura Oh yeah ? let's take a new hope for exemple : 1-the storm troopers assaulting the ship . 2-the bar fight were Obi wan slash a guys hand 3-Obi wan vs vader 4-Luke rescuing leia from the storm troopers and using a graphing hook while han charges right into the storm troopers . 5- the escape from the trash compactor . 6- the final fight with the death star .
never heard of it, but it sounds like a shit movie to fit a terrible attempt at series fan fiction that fundamentally break the Star Wars universe because Disney doesn’t have an inch of creativity in their cheap corporate bones
@Adam Wasiura if that's the case, why bother making up stories at all, seems really shitty and pointless to demand the audience get to control the story and not the person who wrote the thing.
I like how he said "People were brainwashed by George into liking the prequels" when I actually think it's the opposite "People were brainwashed by the internet into hating the prequels".
Me: Hears this will be multiple parts and hearing Revenge of the Prequels will eventually cover the Plinkett reviews. Anomaly to CVH: Hohoho, you fool. This isn't even my final form! In fact, I'm only using 1% of my power!
Looking back, with the help of these very videos, I think Disney just took all the WRONG lessons from the Prequels and the hyperbolic fan reactions, and tried to do the exact opposite...with a heavy handed "progressive" message tacked on.
I used to really like watching Cosmonaut. I thought he was very good at breaking stuff down and critiquing it. Until I realized that I just occasionally agreed with his opinionated conclusion on the subject, rather than his argument actually being good or supported by facts. He just...says things are a way without explaining why that's true. Which makes his videos incredibly frustrating to watch if you disagree with him on ANYTHING, because you can't counter any argument, because THEY DON'T EXIST.
FearingVirus Case and point his ‘Video Game Movie’. He uses Bioshock a game who’s narrative is a meta commentary for the interactive medium of gaming. Ignoring the countless movies are adaptions of books another totally different medium.
He says "Everyone talks the same" then say seconds later "They talk differently". If your not paying attention, it's easy to fall into the trap of just agreeing with what you want to hear.
19:50 there's some stuff around this point I wish you'd refuted specifically, like when he says Luke is really good with the force with no training (showing him struggle to force pull his lightsaber in empire), this is such an ignorant statement it actually annoyed me more than anything else he said. Luke _was_ trained in ANH, is the son of the most powerful force wielder on record, and _still_ struggles to use an ability shown to be incredibly basic in the prequels, this shows how powerful he is but also that he has a lot to learn... whereas Rey can lift the side of a mountain with half a failed training session from Jake, triple collateral shot 3 TIE fighters, beat the main antagonist in the first film, download all his training, etc. Otherwise fantastic video Anom, keep up the great work 👍

If you are someone who hates people like Bolsanero or Duerte and thinks the prequels are boring and useless, then you are an actual moron, since the films actually very succinctly show how these sorts of populists rise to power.

"All the characters in Star Wars are lucky because they're the main characters" Suuuure. Anakin who got his limbs cut off by Dooku and got manipulated by a sith lord because of his arrogance, the guy who couldn't save his mother and his wife, the guy who despite being the chosen one got his ass kicked and had to train and work for his abilities. Luke. The farmboy who could barely do anything else outside of piloting, got his butt saved throughout ANH because of his inexperience, got almost killed by a Wampa and had to be saved by Han, struggled to lift a few rocks when training with Yoda, and got his arm cut off by none other than his own father, later having to be saved by Leia, Lando and the crew. Unlike Rey who upon discovering that the force was a real thing can already pull off mind tricks, resist torture from a force user who actually has experience, can beat said force user not one but three times, despite barely knowing how to fight a few thieves with a staff, can somehow out pace Luke Skywalker despite the huge gap in their abilities, is profficient with a lightsaber despite never holding one in her entire life or knowing how it functions, knows Han Solos fucking ship better than the owner himself and somehow fly it better, can lift a bunch of boulders and use force heal without breaking a sweat like it's just some common thing anyone can do and the list goes on and on. Point being that no, never in any world are these characters comparable to MaReysue cuz unlike her; Obi-Wan, Anakin and Luke failed, struggled, endured pain and hardship and despite being very talented force users they still had to work their asses off and train to be profficient and achieve mastery with their respective abilities. But oh well, i guess being a "strong female lead" is enough now a days.
Lol you are fool of bs I can't even pointing out the struggles of the old with the success of the new look I can't do that too. Luke was a Gary stu he was able to use the force with no training to blow up the death star with a shot not even the best pilots of the rebels could take and also was able to use force pull with no knowledge of that abilities existence while Rey struggled with the constant stress to run back to her planet because of her false hopes about her parents while also not being that strong because kylo captured her with no effort. See..... Does this sound stupid to you yes it's the same thing with what you did also Rey beat kylo once I don't know what you are smoking with the three times bs
@@ariklion37 Luke a Gary Stu? What are you smoking? First off, A New Hope established that he was a talented pilot, because while he was helping out at the farm he always dreamed about finally leaving tatooine one day. He trained with Yoda before even being able to lift a couple of rocks, while Rey lifts a dozen without any former knowledge or experience with EASE. Luke got his hand cut off after his first battle with Vader. Rey never lost a single fight with Kylo even though he had been thought the force since childhood. But you call LUKE a GARY STU? Lmao go off, I guess.

I agree 1000000000% with that statement I don't like fma 2003 much (specially the second half and in comparison to the manga) But I can't say it fails in every level because it's false
@@Noname-nk5kv Writing only works when you look at it at a distance so you don't see how roughly executed the arcs are scene by scene. Cinematogrophy is bland and unimaginative. The acting is mostly on the rage from horrible to doable. So yeah, I can see why many more people would say that the movies fail at most levels if not all to some extent. The Sequels however, atleast have great actors and performances if everything else fails, so it is much less plausible for someone like me to say that the Sequels fail on all fronts. That's why I think it is pretty hypocritical that the same people who say that the Sequels are in every way horrible, get offended and think it is unfair if someone says the same for the Prequels, which, taking into consideration classical movie-making, are much more rough movies all around. Don't get me wrong, I love and watch all of the movies through 1-9, but this is just how I think.
Kung Olaf well yeah as movies obviously the sequels are WAY better but in terms of lore of the Star Wars universe, the sequels are shit... they destroy everything
Also, regarding Cosmonaut's arguments that Rey's origins are good because it proves that people don't have to be Skywalkers or Palpatines to be strong in the Force, he does know that most Jedi have the same thing, right? Most Jedi aren't Palpatines or Skywalkers, they were just random kids "adopted" by the Order because they were strong in the Force. We don't need Rey's bullshit story to prove that, since even big hitters like Dooku, Windu, and Yoda had nothing to do with Jedi bloodlines and were probably randomly taken from some orphanage or some parents who gave them away.
@@mrscribbles2693 Uh, yes they were. We even saw most Jedi didn't come from royal families, but taken by Jedi at their youth and never told where their parents come from.
@Adam Wasiura Except it isn't even that good. Exposition in the new movies exists solely to pad out the same tired crap cliches Hollywood had been drilling into our skulls for the past few years. Yes, anyone can be a hero-but almost every Jedi comes from nothing. The Skywalkers were an anomaly-caused by a Jedi who didn't follow the rules. But most Jedi are either orphans or babies given up by no-name families. Do you know who Yoda's parents were? Or Kenobi's? No, you don't.
Cosmonaut doesn't understand the type of story that episode 1 is trying to tell. It is supposed to in direct contrast with episode 4 which puts you at the right center of the long going conflict. While in episode 1 the galaxy is a state of calm and peace. It is the calm before storm. That's why the most disruptive thing in the galaxy at the moment is merely a mundane ''taxation crisis''. Sure, it is a fair criticism to say that the opening crawl could have worded better.

@@lornithogeek7049 That's like saying it's stupid for an organization to send a subgroup who send a member of that group who sets a bomb which is then diffused.
“That’s not how the Force works.” “Everything you just said is wrong.” Though both of those are used to criticize the sequels, they’re still good memes.
I'm honestly baffled by Cosmonaut's description of Shakespeare's storytelling as "the actions of the characters dictating their emotions". THAT IS BULLSHIT! The characters actions (and the entire stories) are determined by the emotions of the characters. Not the other way around. Hamlet - The whole story is driven by Hamlet's feelings of suspicion and paranoia regarding his Uncle Claudius, and his irrational need for revenge. Romeo and Juliet - The story is driven by two hormonally charged, emotional teenagers who make stupid decisions as a result of their emotions. Othello - Every character's action is driven by mistrust and suspicion. That's three stories alone which prove this to be untrue. If anything, Shakespeare makes a point in nearly all of his best works that it is the emotional side of people which drive them, not the action, and that humans often make stupid decisions when they let their emotions overrule logic and reason.
Ironic you point this out because when Palpatine says that he can save Padme, Anakin decides to genocide children for it with absolutely no questions. The prequels are the literal definition of characters being in service to the plot, which is shit storytelling.

I hate it when people say that good acting makes a good movie. Let's look at the sequels, the sequels have pretty good acting. I think Adam Driver really kills it but the issue is that the plot sucks ass. Plot isn't interesting and really rushed.
The sequels have good acting?? Never noticed that before. All I see is constant overacting, which is completely out of place. Boyega being out of breath every five minutes, Ridley staring wide-eyed like a madman, and everybody in the First Order constantly yelling (as if that made them intimidating). Plus, TFA features the single worst acted moment in all of Star Wars: General Hux` speech on Starkiller Base.
Good acting doesn't make a good movie, but bad acting can make a bad movie. Which is the case for the prequels. A shitty acting job can ruin a well-written moment.
case cao A lot of the acting in the sequels aren’t crystal clear either though. Daisy Ridley is pretty bland and often have the same facial expression. The rest either overact or in a way that doesn’t fit the saga. The later is more of a script problem however and not really the actors fault.
@@J1O2C3K4E5S I honestly disagree. I think the cast of the sequels do as well as they can with the script that they're given. The only reason Ridley's performance would ever come off as bland is because of how uninteresting her character is.

@@RogueFox2185 When he is being criticized, he always resort to the "it's my opinion" excuse. The thing is with opinion is that it's not a free pass. If someone has opinion, he better get ready to argue with it, because arguing about someone's opinion, is also an opinion. So people are allowed to have opinions on someone else's opinion. It works both ways, yet people like him are the ones who usually don't understand this.
I laughed out loud when Cosmonaut said: "For the first time I'm gonna try to watch this movie with my fully evolved film brain" (26:52) Yes Anomaly, my bullshit detector certainly went off when he said that, although that is probably true for nearly every sentence spoken by Cosmonaut that I heard in this video.
@Leo All good. I can agree with most of what you're saying. one thing I can't get my head around though is people say Rey is a mary sue which she kind of is. Although I would say the same with Anakin in episode 1. Anakin and Rey in episode 1 and 7 are somewhat similar. Both have some heartbreak family story and do outrageous things that they shouldn't do with that type of skill level. What are your thoughts though
Jeezus, how tired I am of "hard to follow plot", "hard to understand what is going on", "8/10 too much politics" etc arguments regarding Prequels. The only thing arguments like this prove is that people who say that are dumb.

This came out in the middle of my ROTS binge and I couldn’t be happier. I don’t know how, but this angry Aussie made me appreciate the prequels again Thanks Anomaly, you’re doing the Whills’ work
I watched all of Star Wars only last year and was led to believe by everyone OT > ST > PT but I ended up seeing it as OT = PT > ST and I had never even seen Star Wars to have the capacity to be "brainwashed" to love the prequels, and yet, I loved them all, assuming there is some outside force that causes people to like something you don't makes you come across as incredibly petty and just plain wrong.
This is basically what happened to me. I watched the OT ages ago when I was still a kid, long enough ago that I didn't remember most of what happened. I didn't grow up with the prequels. I watched both trilogies recently, the first time I'd seen the PT in its entirety instead of just short clips. I rewatched them again recently as well, for good measure. I like them both equally. So that vapid statement that PT lovers solely like it for nostalgia is dead wrong.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your Revenge of the Prequels series. Thank you for making these and thank you for standing up for the real OG! Its wonderful to see all this support coming out in favor of George's legacy... though shameful it took Disney's destruction of the universe for people to finally start to see it. Your work here in particular is inspiring because you're not afraid to tackle much bigger fish, these giants who have kept the anti-prequel circlejerk going for so long on YT. Personally I found it incredibly insightful when cosmonaut started to talk about how "there was peace on the internet" regarding the prequels and how they had been universally shamed into a corner pre disney era. Perhaps you could argue this was hyperbole for a joke or something, but I found it very emblematic of the attitude these people have. You see the same thing in Mr Plinkett's "review" of the force awakens, or rather how it spent the whole first half complaining about renewed appreciation for the prequels and going in depth on the "ring theory". I suppose in a manner of speaking there was peace. They HAD essentially won for all that time, dominating the conversation and spreading the story that George Lucas ruined star wars. But now we get to see the fruits of their labor... What they had been pushing for all this time with the sequel trilogy: star wars tailor made especially for what those fanboys wanted! And hilariously.. most are trying to distance themselves from their involvement creating the Star wars without George. RLM themselves had pined for getting JJ abrams to direct but now uncomfortably shift themselves over to be in the "it sucks" camp, just trying to remain relevant. IHE did the same thing recently and I remember his videos about star wars/lucas not too long ago. Cosmonaut on the other hand is a rather special breed who just decides to doubles down. I swear his latest video on the prequels looks like it should have come out of 2013. But I guess that's not too surprising coming from his long list of bad takes... You've earned yourself another sub sir. May the force be with you...!
@@anomalyinc3239 Hey i just wanted to ask if you finally started watching the Clone Wars! You are missing out on some of the best Star Wars content of all time!

@Adam Wasiura And Cosmonaut thinks we’re retarded for liking the prequels while he dictates what the franchise should be is being a mature adult while Anomaly pointing out the terrible arguments that the OT butthurts share is childish. Trying telling us that if that is childish
I have always loved the prequels and I understood the story of 1,2 and 3 when I was 6 years old. The prequels are honestly my favorite trilogy of star wars (YES I SAID IT FIGHT ME)
Dude I fucking love the prequels. Looks like they'll have to fight us lmao. It's not my favorite trilogy because I love the OT and the PT equally and wholeheartedly and absolutely despise the Disney trilogy.
@The Infamous I'm not lying I was alive after all. I definitely didn't enjoy the constant hype people had through the 3 episodes though. I am not sure if people have the news broadcasts up on the internet though.
I stumbled upon that guy’s review of the prequels cuz I wanted insight on why people hate the prequels and the whole time I was thinking “saying something in a brash way doesn’t increase your authority on the topic”
Mine breaks moments after when I look to the comments and find the same idiots complaining about the same nonsense, clearly having started their bitching without bothering nor caring for said prior explanation God I fucking hate people sometimes. I love humanity as a concept, and I adore individuals, but people? God it can be tiring to deal with people.
Which is why he does, for example, "Character coming up with a plan" "Character coming up with a plan" "Character coming up with a plan" "Character coming up with a plan" "Character coming up with a plan" Which cites how the film mostly prioritizes plot progression without much cahracter development or even characterization
The problem with Cosmo is, it wouldn't be nearly as bad if he wouldn't try to dismiss all of his opinions as if they're objective facts. He just comes off as pretentious.
But he’s right though… explain how the dialogue isn’t terribly written, explain how the acting isn’t terrible, explain how the lack of character development is in any way redeeming. I’ll wait 😂

@@GoblinKelly they are terrible the actors THEMSELVES said George Lucas doesn’t know how to write dialogue. Plus this dude’s points are wrong, he said cosmo said the movie is boring because politics are involved, the movie is boring because it’s boring. He said cosmo didn’t like that characters talked alot in the movie, the point was the characters have no character and their dialogue is forced and pointless. He’s making up shit cosmo never said, twisting it for his star wars fanboyish sake. Star Trek Wrath of Kahn is a good movie, The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe and Robbert Pattinson is a good movie, Bladerunner 2049 is a good movie. The prequels are shit. George Lucas literally said “Jar Jar is the key to all of this, if we could get him working” George doesn’t even understand his own material. The og star wars trilogy was good because the editors fixed the nonsense George was going to do to the film. The prequels gave George full creative control and they were all the worse for it. I know art is subjective, but the prequels are fucking awful, boring, terribly acted, terribly written, CGI shit show that appeals to people who like Star Wars and not film.
If you watch his video on the sequels, then pretty much everything Cosmonaut says here is invalid. He's so hypocritical and inaccurate, I'm surprised he still has followers.
@@legendarymarston9174 He stated that the people behind the clone wars hated George Lucas and the prequels and made the show as a fuck you to the prequels and that George wasn't involved with the show.

Him saying that Rey beating Kylo is just like Obi-Wan beating Maul is so fucking idiotic. Like yeah sure having lived as a scavenger on a sand planet should make you as strong as a jedi in his early 20's who has been trained since birth to use the force and lightsaber is a great comparison right ? , if you ignore all context such as him using the dark side, still losing the fight and having to use a surprise attack is the same as closing your eyes for 5 seconds and then winning. And don't say that Rey was using the dark side and anger just as much, she barely knew Han and Finn compared to Qui Gon who Obi-Wan was basically raised by during his life.
kylo was shot in the kidneys by a bowcaster. a weapon that is shown to have immediately killed 3 other people in the same movie. kylo is honestly lucky to still be breathing after that shot
Legacy Of The Beast Eddie because he isn’t efficient in hand to hand combat?? he holds his own against the one stormtrooper for some time but ultimately fails, and he holds his own against kylo for some time but ultimately fails. one of the first things we see rey do is take out two grown men at the same time on her own. she is shown to be good in a fight
Legacy Of The Beast Eddie it’s not like her original weapon was a slingshot. it was a staff. and before you say that’s nothing like a lightsaber, i’ll remind you that darth mauls lightsaber is basically a staff. if you’re great at using one melee weapon, i’ll assume it won’t be hard for you to use another melee weapon that’s fundamentally very similar
He did, in the second and third parts of his video intended for episodes 2 and 3. Anamoly just didn't cover those parts for some reason... I wonder why
Yuh like I agree with what he said But he didn"t even talk about it like wtf? Like i fucking hate the Prequals i think they are easly the worst star wars films Execpt ROTS its an improvement as he said in his video but it still terrible As a film and as a star wars film and i like Cosmont I want to hear what he think and how he is gonna analysing them but he was just talking shit on them Thats a no no from me dawg
@Adam Wasiura I like how this Adam Wasiura guy is commenting on every single comment here...trying desperately to insist on "prequels bad, CVH is good" and that all people in the comments are wrong xD
@Adam Wasiura So... you are basically just a desperate hater who thinks his opinion is the only "good" one, aye? Damn, that's sad honestly. You know, I for my part hate the sequels... but I can understand if people say "Yes but despite all their mistakes or problems I still love the sequels"... because everyone can have an own subjective opinion. Also in this video series here there are plenty of arguments made on why the prequels are still *objectively* better than the sequels... and if you are not able to actually counter these arguments then you should just accept them. Because that is how discussions/arguments work.
@Adam Wasiura In that case I'd advice you to for example rewatch the exact video we are commenting below right now. He gives subjective *and* objective statements. I honestly fail to understand what exactly you mean with your second sentence though... giving objective proof for your argument is *not* being a robot. It means being a rational, thinking human being (keep in mind that does not exclude having emotions). And when you say things like "The prequels are dumb and everyone who likes them is too" that is a statement that requires proof/explanations (unlike with saying "I personally don't like the prequels") People who defend the prequels have the *opinion* that those films are good, but they can also give exact and logical reasons for that, apart from just saying "I like it". Prequel haters (and sequel lovers usually), like with the Cosmonaut VH you can see in this video, are from what I have seen the more illogical and hypocrite ones. Because they often use an argument to say why they love the sequels but then when the same thing also exists in the prequels it is suddenly a bad thing.
Aside from his The Clone Wars video (and even that has some areas that were lacking), I can't cite a single video he's done that isn't either incredibly bad or regurgitating what's already been said by far too many before (or both). His Rebels video does a decent point at highlighting the faults of the show, though even that is brought down by the heavy double-standards he takes and inserts into the video revolving around Disney Star Wars.
@@antimatter3084 Nice strawman, but no. CVH's argumentation to the points he makes are almost always incredibly flawed, this video response being definitive proof on how poor his takes can be. He is an embodiment of cognitive dissonance.
@@choueriito2548 I don't think I'm strawmanning when the Star Wars fanbase literally throws a fit over any video even daring defending the Last Jedi and just want repetitive videos regurgitating the same opinion about how Rian Johnson is a menace for making a mediocre popcorn flick. Also I been watching Cosmonaut for like 4 months, and I don't really see no cognitive dissonance for his opinions. I don't agree with Cosmonaut all the time(especially when it comes to the Watchmen show) but he hit the nail on the head when talking about the garbage prequels.
@@antimatter3084 Assuming I only dislike his videos because they go against my opinion is a massive strawman. There are plenty of RUclipsrs I like who I disagree with on certain things (even Anomaly Inc. on some areas), but what matters most is the strength of argumentation. That is why practically all of those TLJ defences you mentioned get lambasted. Not because they're defending the film, but because the arguments they bring forward don't stand up at all under scrutiny. As for some major examples of Cosmonaut being filled with cognitive dissonance: - Tries to act as though the spinning lightsabers in Rebels were more damaging to the franchise than TLJ's plot holes, the former of which being a dumb idea yet not world-destroying whereas the latter contains elements that prevent prior movies from having any integrity due to the introduction of things such as Force Ghosts interacting with the living and light speed kamikazes. - Made a video on the Freeza Arc in DBZ being the best arc in Shonen, says the Chimera Ant Arc from Hunter X Hunter is not long after it's uploaded and gives flimsy reasons as to why he cited the Freeza Arc as the best. - "You can jut skip the first season or two of The Clone Wars", despite how many important characters and plot points are introduced here. - Says Rey isn't a Mary Sue yet calls Sabine out as being one. - Says white people have no right to write about oppression. That just speaks for itself. - His whole "Worse than you remember" video for the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy in general. - Jumped on the "Nothing in film is objective" bandwagon, despite that mindset destroying any integrity one can have as a critic and then went onto say that only "true" critics like himself have a basis to analyse the quality of film. Argumentation from Authority, without backing up why he should be treat as the authority. And, of course, the poor argumentation he had in his prequel videos that feature either blatantly misrepresenting certain parts for his narrative or employing heavy double-standards when it comes to the sequels. The fact you haven't picked up on this makes me sceptical you even watched this response to him. Then again, if you cite the prequels as "garbage" yet consider a film that completely destroyed the integrity of Star Wars' world building all for the sake of subverting expectations as a mediocre popcorn flick, I guess CVH isn't the only one with some cognitive dissonance.
I'm glad I watched all of these, b/c you convinced me to give the prequels a second chance, and... you were absolutely right. Just bought the blu-ray set last month. Thanks for explaining everything in detail. I mean I was 10 when Episode I came out.
Honestly Anomaly, I think that your approach to deconstruction is very respectable and one that this platform needs to adhere more to ensure that all of us, peers or not can stay consistent and admit mistakes in their argumentation without having to be scrutinized. Oh and I very much look forward to hearing more Revenge of The Prequels- especially as the quality and argumentation grows.
Among the first things we're taught in history class is that over taxing without representation caused the war for independence. And that's 1st grade shit. Now um. . . .HOW is this Ep1's title crawl confusing again?
@@boshwa20 The Ironic thing is that a lot of countries built their system off the American System and then say the American system is bad. There certainly countries that do the system better. (Korea and Japan do it better. But that is almost entirely a difference of culture) And just have a better system. (I don't know any at the moment. So...) But for the most part. Most countries are just pure copy and paste.
Well what i meant was that i never expected to cover cosmonaut but then his video came out and people were asking for it like crazy when i was definitely going to do it anyway
"You just don't like The Last Jedi because you don't understand the theeeeeemes." Sounds like something a English or Language Arts teacher would say. Edit: Okay this comment might have gone too far in a few places.
@@Foobie07 not really, it is a false equivilance. an english professors is a trained professional thats main job is to find the themes in a piece of literature and teach it to the students. people who defend the last jedi with that rebutle aren't professionally trained for that job, are they?
It always puzzled me when people constantly hated on the dialogue, when it literally says "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away." So humans not from Earth, from an era begone and past, living in a galaxy an unimaginable distance away, don't speak the same as Earth humans?
@@joedatiusmy dude I’ve seen you suck off to Cosmonaut and RLM like there’s no tomorrow, so you don’t have any say when it comes to judging movies. Also “boring” is not valid criticism. We don’t share the exact same brain and feelings as you, and thank god for that
@@joedatiusmaking excuses to justify your short attention span and lack of understanding basic worldbuilding and storytelling for why people would talk the way they do in that era doesn’t make the dialogue “boring” or “unengaging”. Especially with how low your IQ is. Try again
Is it sad that when cosmonaut was reading phantom menace title crawl and skipped it because it was boring I got very mad. I was excuse me I was reading that, I can always use reminder of a good star wars opening unlike Disney's trilogy. With those 3 paragraphs I am alrdy understanding the prelude to the story beforehand which is great
I rewatched this video and still got heavily pissed at cosmonaut for skipping the text of phantom menace and saying it's too boring. I would love to read the original saga words anytime. The new movies text crawl all garbage
I never heard of this guy Cosmonaut. He sounds super arrogant, almost like a caricature. Does he not know that Lucas worked with Williams on the music. He gave him a lot of input on how it should sound. It's the reason why it's so good and so bad in the Disney movies. Because Abrams for example didn't know what the movie should even be. They were just one dimensional directors.
@@OliSwuz07 He did change though, the clone wars is an example of this with some of the best episodes coming from ideas from George and his daughter (Mandalorians and nightsisters). But I was talking about a bigger change. The star wars underworld series had so much potential and it would have opened the doors to so much Eu material. By this point George was more open to other people directing his work. People forget that George originally wanted Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard to direct the prequels, but they denied his offer. George couldn't trust anyone else to direct his work and I'll agree with you that this was a bad idea. But he showed so much growth after ROTS allowing other people to direct entire arcs in the clone wars and originaly planned for multiple writers for the star wars underworld show (this shows that he wouldn't take on multiple roles like he did with the prequels). So I'm sorry I think your wrong, George definitely would have changed.
Niles Cooper thad okay. But it somehow means you overlook the bad stuff because your such a fan of the franchise. Wich means you can‘t talk objektivly about these movies.
Hooray! The series is back! Edit: I can't thank you enough for this series, because it makes me realise, that the prequels are better then i gave them credit for in the past years. Sure i still see flaws, and to fully rewrite my opinion about them, i have to rewatch them. But still, thanks for giving those who liked or even loved the prequels a voice.
I still don't understand how everyone was so confused by the politics of the prequels. I remember i was like 7 or 8 years old and i completely understood what was happening in The Phantom Menace. A group of separatists (clearly supposed to be the south during the civil war, i watched a lot of Liberty's Kids) were angry at the Republic (the north) and took over a planet that was part of the trade route they worked through, and the Queen had to escape before signing a treaty to allow them to take control fully. The Republic doesn't believe in their claims, so Palpatine makes his move to make the Chancellor look like a fool so he can take over. It's really not that hard of a concept to understand.
I honestly thought he wasnt really being serious. After the Reimi Trilogy video, i seriously thought that entire thing was satire with some actual criticism. Apparently, it was all criticism... which is just horseshit
I love he says he was brainwashed by the prequels because of merch. As if the original Star Wars wasn't merchandised too, as if Back to the Future wasn't merchandised too, as if Lord if the Rings didn't have many games back then?! But those are okay I suppose. Only the prequels. Yeah thats not hypocritical at all. What kind of idiots does he have in his noggin that we think we are unaware that every blockbuster is cash grab. Everyone knows this!
I like how cosmo makes such a big deal about learning about the character’s feelings when all of the characters except for Anakin are duty bound and professional who are almost in their element when their life is in danger. Anakin is different because he’s a child and he expresses many times how he feels. Also, his argument of multiple plans having to be made is how most movies further their plot. It doesn’t make it bad. And if it was so bad, cosmo should offer some constructive criticism as to how it could be improved so he could stop adding to the garbage fire of displaced hate for the prequels
@@Dragonage2ftw And they show plenty of emotions outside of their prim and proper areas. But it does make sense to not show emotion when you're a member of a religious sect who's dogma is the removal of emotion. Or a child who's spent your entire life as a political figure and nothing else.
I went from not liking Episode I when I saw it in theaters, but as I've gotten older it's genuinely fun to watch from a storytelling perspective. Jar Jar Binks actually has some great scences; that scene between he and Padme near the end about their two nations is legitimately really good.
@Husky Lover My father used to call me Jar Jar when I was a kid; I've never really had any negative associations with him. Some of the slapstick is a bit much now, but he doesn't get on my nerves to the degree, say, BB-8 or Baby Yoda do. Jar Jar at least manages to serve a purpose within the narrative, whereas the other two are there to be a plot device and sell merchandise.
Yeah, jar jar has a point to be, he is the one that encourages padme to take action, he stood by her because, like her, he was worried for his people, there was some depth to him, unlike 99.99% of the entire disney star wars canon
You know this isn't the only channel that carries this opinion right? There are loads of videos on RUclips that discuss the prequels in a positive or neutral light. This isn't 1999...
the prequels had their moments of glory and their moments of shame, just as every movie, but at least they stood true to themselves, had an overall consistend plotline, and good action moments, the opening of episode 3 was the most glorious of all of them i loved the prequels when they came out, i still love them today all things i cant even in the least say for disney, it was a convoluted mess, no overall plan where it was going, the only speck of light since the dark age of the mouse came upon us was rogue one
And the Prequels were in some sort of way inventive. You can say what you want about Jar Jar but the motion capture techniques used for him did make way for tech being used to this day. It made way for Gollum, Davy Jones and such. So in some way Lucas did affect the film industry once again. Have Disney done anything like that with their films?
Adam Wasiura It takes away from the more serious tone of Star Wars. And honestly just ruins the tone of the film. You don’t see any of crappy jokes in the Prequel trilogy or the Original trilogy
Well Its Finally Here Ladies & Gentleman, This Is Only Part 1 Remember There Will be More To Come, I hope The Audio levels Are Satisfactory this Time Round I Proof Watched THis With EarPhones & Made Adjustments Where I Felt Necessary, Let Me Know What You Think :)

Have you watched the Clone Wars TV show? You’d really like it if you haven’t, considering it expands on the prequels(and it’s canon)
Anomaly Inc Oh da baby..... Wa wa wi wa. Very nice 👍Borat aside........ I've been looking forward to this😎
Yes!!!! Get him Anomaly! Get him good! For the OG!
@Joshua Munn EXACTLY
These guys keep mentioning Red Letter Media. When are you going to tackle the elephant directly?
Very minor, but I had the understanding that Luke’s green lightsaber was for practical purposes rather than marketing, as the blue wouldn’t have shown up as well against the backdrop of Tatooine during the fight at the beginning of ep6
If thats true well then i apologise for getting that little detail wrong
Also the minor story detail of his original blue lightsaber having been lost in the Cloud City bottomless pit. Along with his hand.
IamDeadToast Oh wait. Now it’s been found somehow and being used by Rey.
KimboSlice Sounds like bad fanfiction.
@Adam Wasiura If new ideas aren't necessary, that would mean there shouldn't have been a Star Wars film after the first one, or that Star Wars and all stories since the beginning of time bar one would be unnecessary. You do realise how absolutely absurd this notion is, don't you? I'm entirely convinced you're trolling now. Moreover, the reasoning for ideas such as green lightsabers or Dooku's curved lightsaber were for practical reasons, making them necessary.
""Star Wars should be simple."
Same people: "TLJ is great cause deep themes. Its just so deep you don't understand them."
Also also same people: "Its for kids, stop thinking."
God I hate these reasonings.
If you want a good star wars that is deep go play KOTOR 2, if you want a simple buy goof star wars story go play the Jedi knight games or even the new fallen order game
No need telling me about KOTOR2, I am part of the TSLRCM team. ;)
And yeah, it's great, we don't "need" simple stories.
who are you quoting right now ur just saying random things
@@sportsgamer8524 Cosmo probably said all of them; he supports and repeats nearly everything RLM says like "SW should be simple," but then takes it to another level by supporting TLJ, which I don't even think RLM does.
OmegaPyron No RLM are not fans of TLJ either. They have however been way to friendly with it. Thank good we have Mauler who called the film out for what it is.
Most issues in the prequels are kind of like paper cuts, annoying but minor
But the sequels are like torn limbs, or an animal mauling. Fundamentally damaging but the body goes into shock so it can survive. You don't feel the pain, you also don't feel anything. You're bleeding out but everything seems fine. But it's not
Eloquently put, couldn't agree more.
This is quote of January 2020. I can't agree more.
The_Lost_Son showing Darth as a whiny, crying little kid is not a paper cut it's open heart gash, squirting blood.
Disney sequels are worse though
Arcexey
You talking about Anakin before he became Darth Vader? You expected him to be born a sociopathic mass murderer, and then become a sociopathic mass murdering Jedi, before finally becoming a sociopathic mass murdering Sith Lord?
Yep
Luke’s green saber for ROTJ was not merchandise based it was actually meant to be blue but the rendering was too difficult to achieve at the time in the Tattoine sail barge sequence so it was made green from there.
Movie: starts with two Jedi that are trapped, after their ship is destroyed, with their own crew in it, poisoned, assaulted by Droids non-stop, cool fights, cool force powers...
After that there are few other mini-battle against other droids, and a chase under water where they have to escape from THREE gigantic sea creatures!
Then they save the queen and escape from a blockade that almost blow them out of the universe. They have to go low-profile, for a while, before an epic race scene, followed by a brief lightsaber duel!
Yes there are the political scenes, after that, but they are necessary to show
1: The Republic doesn't work anymore;
2: The Profecy exist;
3: The Jedi don't trust Anakin;
4: Padmé has to do things his way;
5: Jar Jar, like in the rest of the movie, is one of the main reasons why they all succeed.
Then the return to Naboo with a massive conflict divided in four battle:
1 Regain control of Theed;
2 Defeating the Droid Army;
3 Defeating Maul;
4 Destroying the Battle Station.
And then the conclusion that builds up even more story than what we already learned.
Cosmonaut: "This Movie is boring... "
Ok(?)
Well said, Dude.
I think the main problem was the overly stoic, almost robotic acting leading up to and during all that action. I think the mistake Lucas made was he wanted to portray the Jedi as this highly self-disciplined order, which is great, but ended up poorly executing them so most of the Jedi seemed bored or disinterested, uninvested in the world around them. It wasn't until the very end of ep 1 that Kenobi emoted a little - angry and then sad over the apparent death of his master.
I think that's why most people say ep 3 was the best prequel, the characters were more emotive, even if it was, at times, clunky like with Anakin and Padme.
This can be taken too far, btw. In the sequal trilogy you have nothing but hypercharged, over the top, nonstop emotion, action, ect at the expense of reason and plot that got worse as the sequels went on.
@Go Time Now They were. And you can have serious characters but they still have to be relatable. One of the reasons Spock from Star Trek worked so well was he was surrounded by such expressive and well-defined characters. His seriousness helped to ground them as well as helped throw them in sharp relief. Think of how dull Star Trek would have been if every character had Spock's personally - that was kinda how Ep 1, 2, and a little bit of 3 were.
@@177SCmaro This actually one of the better critiques of the prequels I've heard, I do have a hard love for them so when people just describe something as 'boring' or 'unenjoyable' I feel the argument is flawed from the onset. But you actually took into account what the author attempted and why you believe he failed. whilst I would disagree somewhat as I really did like Qui-gons take on a more rogue-ish Jedi Knight and how him and obi wan while having a very obvious bond would still at times have disagreements. Though I do wish they both had more time together, as past the initial scene on the trade federation they are together and interact less often (especially on tatoine). But yeah still reasonable criticism.
@@177SCmaro "Jedi seemed bored and uninterested" - highly disagree. Obi Wan seemed very attentive, disciplined and had the utmost respect for his master and showed that by his dialogue towards him. Qui Gon showed variety in emotions from being a stoic leader, to a warm father figure to young Anakin, to concerned for Anakins mother and intrigued about his origin to being cheeky by using the force to alter dice rolls. I found these 2 Jedi fascinating so this bored criticism really bugs me. Its best exemplified in the final battle when Qui gon is trapped between the laser walls and he chooses to sit and meditate peacefully in the middle of a battle to the death. That is who Qui Gon Jinn was
" star wars should be simple."
kotor 2 is my favorite star wars story.
:high-five:
Me too
Same here, fuck Disney for blowing up the EU and then having the gaul to steal from it because they are to lazy to make their own material.
Loved Kotor I & II and nothing impacted me more than the Darth Bane trilogy. Without the prequels I dont think Star Wars would have been explored in these ways.
Silverhollow Prime
My thoughts exactly.
The original trilogy had the best movies and the prequels gave us the best spinoff content. The sequels failed in both departments *cough* the last Jedi *cough* Star Wars resistance
megamike15 literally thought of kotor 2 when he said that
So George Lucas is a soulless toy seller
and Disney Isn't???
Disney. A company that barely has had any original ideas since Micky Mouse and his friends. A company who changed C3PO's arm just to sell more toys of him. A company that advertises X legacy SW character in a film and then barely shows them in said film.
But George is soulless. They're like the EA of Movies and TV shows. They just acquire companies and IPs and then run them into the ground like Guitar Hero. Pirates of the Caribbean is probably the most original idea Disney came up with recently and guess what? It's been ran into the ground.

George most definitely isn’t just a toy seller. Shit, he took a major risk with the merchandising of Star Wars because something like that didn’t exist back in those days, not to mention that Star Wars was expected to flop.

Yet another corny lame quote from the prequels that prove how shitty the dialogue is 🤣
@@Masterdeber okay how is that bad dialogue?

Same. All I can remember owning from the prequels were a few toy lightsabers (that I would've gotten regardless of if they were prequel lightsabers or ot lightsabers) and a keychange of that hovercar from the second movie.
Azariyel Varro I’ve got a mace windu lightsaber (still got it after years) and when I got it I didn’t even know who mace was bc I hadn’t watched them yet.

“Captain Panaka” always makes me laugh, “Panaca” in my language means “imbecile” or “idiot”. They actually changed his name to Captain Panassi or something like that, many characters in Star Wars have names that are actually rude words in my language (Brazilian Portuguese btw), or funny puns in a way or another like Count Dooku (literally means “Count Takeintheass”) and I’m not even making this up they changed his name to “Count Dookan” in the brazilian versions of the dubs and on the subtitles... This is so hilarious Jesus fuck

@The Infamous ok...? What's your point?
@The Infamous bro you're taking a random prequel quote too seriously. I don't think everything anomaly says is right. He's also not the only prequel defender in the community, in fact I'd argue you'd rarely see many prequel bashing videos much anymore. If you are looking down on the intelligence of people who agree with a certain view you need to reconsider how shallow of a thought that is. I don't care about how you feel but I do think the phantom menace is superior to the force awakens. It's more subtle, nuanced, has better symbolism, and has better characterization. I wouldn't call it perfect but I'd place it higher than the force awakens. I don't see the force awakens the same way as the rest of the sequels as it has much more going for it but I wouldn't say it's good nor bad. It has little characterization (other than poe), has a very noticable and on the nose similarity to a new hope and kills one of the most important characters to the franchise so unceremoniously. Bringing it back to the quote I made, I was trying to make a point that the prequel hating bandwagon which was at a high in 2014 and 2015 had little substance and it looked at the films very one dimensionally and not excepting a different perspective. They werent studying it to all its aspects if you will
@The Infamous I do not agree with anomaly 100% as I said earlier and I do not believe the hate comes from butthurt fans with nothing to go off of. I acknowledge that opinion and its reasoning but I respectfully disagree. I just don't think it's looking at the movies in all perspectives
@The Infamous then why is there even a debate?
@The Infamous damn salty
12:44 "George wanted to create and make money. Disney only wants to make money."
Well said.
This is unfair criticism the difference here is that George Lucas is a person, an individual creator. Disney is massive corporation, a collection of people who yes, are trying to make money
What you’re forgetting is the hundreds of people who are trying to make the best film they can. It’s completely unfair to discredit them especially seeing the care they put into all the films
Revan Depends on you’re definition of good leadership but I’d say yes, every director they’ve hired are great at directing actors, their cinematography is beautiful, and the new additions they bring are all pretty interesting
Just like every director they have flaws J.J is too caught up in his mystery box and Rian has problems in plot and tone and they both had problems following up after each other’s movie but bottom line, you can’t direct the biggest movie franchise in the world without being a good leader
@Revan Its funny cause George Lucas appointed Kathleen Kennedy, the biggest dumbo in all of disney.
Peter ps CVH knows that George is a good person. In his video he is just saying that DISNEY ISN'T THE ONLY REASON FOR CASH GRAB
@Thomas Bequette If they care about Star Wars, why have they completely ruptured the narrative of it and nullified the OG trilogy and the prequels? Better yet, why couldn't they at the least provide a somewhat cohesive story? The new trilogy is the pointless trilogy I've ever seen. It added nothing to Star Wars, it only took away from the narrative, lore and rules.
It's really eyeopening reading Episode I's crawl fro yourself and realizing how simple the plot is to follow after years of being told it's boring. Personally I've found I like the political aspect in stories like these, it makes the worlds seem more real.
@Valdet Paumi Not just in the opening crawl but Ep1s plot is considerably more grounded than the crapfest in ep9.
Naboo has been blockaded, the senate can't do anything about it cos of the bureaucracy, drastic action was taken, Palpatine took advantage to maneuver into positions of greater power, right under the noses of the Jedi no less. It made sense, it was plausible, made the main villain intelligent and threatening. I think the trade federations dispute with Naboo could have been expanded on a bit better but that's a minor issue I have with ep1.
But in ep9, they made the emperor put a bullseye on his back by announcing his return to the galaxy and dares the galaxy to come after him. PT and OT Palpatine/emperor would have used cunning and maneuvered his way into wresting control of the galaxy. He would never have been this stupid to dare the galaxy to band together and come after him.
@@kaptinbarfbeerd1317 True, shit like that might work for saturday morning cartoons, but in a serious story it's a VERY bad move for the villain because you basically did half the work for the heroes by telling them where you are.

Nobody is saying its complicated. We are saying it makes no sense. Unless your reading the books or whatever alot of the things happening really make no sense. Like how the senate can't trust the testimony of two jedi knights sent to act as ambassadors.
@@appropriate-channelname3049 The 2 Jedi knights were not sent by the senate, but by the supreme chancellor to solve it quietly. And we are dealing with Qui Gon, who is not a master on the council exactly because he was not as the rest. He butted heads with them. And his master was the "political idealist" that disagreed with the republic.
And it was their world vs the guys who kept their power well up in the second movie. Money speaks. It's basic politics. Did you ever see any sort of bribery or corruption? This things are common as dirt. It does not matter if in a system based on fairness this would look suspicious, they aren't in such a system.
It isn't in the books, it is on screen.
Another example please.
"I have waited a long time for this, my smiley, yellow friend."
@Adam Wasiura Which he won't do when this video series perfectly deconstructed and debunked all of his points and Cosmonaut still has enough sense to let things go when his points have been argued against (eg. conceding to MauLer's points against his Raimi Spider-Man video).
Again, stop replying to every single comment on these videos with the same "hurr durr prequels bad, Anomaly bad, Cosmonaut good" rhetoric and make actual arguments. I've told you once and I'll tell you again the way you're acting is both childish and mentally unhealthy to do this to such a degree. At this point, I'm convinced you're either a troll with nothing better to do or seriously mentally unwell to keep doing this on these videos without offering any substance to your comments.
@Adam Wasiura Then how about you start doing that in response to people rather than constantly saying "you're a child" and other derivatives of it that make you look like an embarrassment. I'd also advise you watch through Anomaly's other prequel videos in order to double-check how your evidence holds up. Had you done this from the beginning rather than spamming the comment sections of several videos with the same baseless rhetoric, we wouldn't be at this point.
@Adam Wasiura That's a complete misinterpretation of Qui-Gon's character. Qui-Gon is characterised as being somewhat rebellious compared to other Jedi, letting the will of the Force control his actions rather than the Jedi code. To say he was just "grumpy" throughout the film is untrue, and he was static due to playing the mentor role and already being whole as a character. By the same metric, you should be considering ANH Obi-Wan as bland and static despite him also filling his purpose in the wider narrative.
Obi-Wan beat Darth Maul through exploiting his arrogance and him doing so was an essential step to him being granted the rank of Jedi Knight without which he would've been unable to train Anakin, so to say it was for "no reason" is a complete falsehood that can only be interpreted such a way by paying zero attention to the film.
If you consider Anakin wanting to leave Tatooine, wanting to become a Jedi and wanting to find a way to save his mother, then later wanting to learn to stop those he cared about from dying in episodes 2 and 3 to be unmotivated, then there's clearly something wrong with your criteria. He didn't cause the Jedi to break their code either. Having a vote on the matter isn't the same as an absolute code. Yoda's dialogue when conceding to Obi-Wan to let him train him also suggests that the majority had ruled in favour of Anakin being trained and that Yoda (and likely Windu) used their authority to suppress it, as hinted by the line "Agree with you, the council does."
Qui-Gon bringing Anakin to the battlefield can be justified through his belief in the living force protecting the Chosen One and wanting Anakin to learn from him despite not being able to teach him directly. Is this plan a good one? Not quite, but to say it's stupider than Holdo's is completely wrong when her plan provided zero benefit to the Resistance and only weakened them through infighting.
I assume your last point is referring to Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon at the start of the film? The Trade Federation ships all landed on a small area of the planet and being able to sense where someone is has been a staple skill of the Force established as early as A New Hope. To say this is "coincidental" is proof of not paying attention to points made very clear within the films.
Still, I commend you for at least making an argument for once and not just saying to anyone who disagrees with you "hurr durr you're a child. Prequels bad because I say so."
@Adam Wasiura You obviously do not know what a discussion is if that is your only counter-point or the necessity of coherently explaining one's points within a debate, nor do you have any points with which to respond to what I said and resort to ad hominem, thus showing the weakness of your "argument". Again, actually participate in discussion, or go annoy others with your idiocy elsewhere, not that I expect you to make a logical decision either way at this point. Also, if your definition of anyone who wants to partake in a logical and organised discussion rather than hurling immature insults in the way a monkey hurls their turds is to call them a "fucking rat" rather than offering a counter-response, it's clear there's no point trying to appeal to your with logic when it is something you are devoid of.
@Adam Wasiura Because discussion allows people to learn from other perspectives and expand their knowledge, something you're clearly unwilling to do. If you think such a plot-hole riddled mess as TLJ that destroyed any semblance of logic within the Star Wars universe before TROS ruined things even further was fine yet find the prequels without merit, however, it's clear discussion with you is pointless. Also, you do realise fans complaining about the prequels just as you're doing is why Disney got the franchise to ruin it beyond repair in the first place, don't you?
Let me ask your contradictive self this as a closing response - If you're so against the idea of discussion, why are you even bombarding every single comment in this and Rick Worley's video with stances opposite to you when you know it won't be productive to yourself or the other person? You could easily just ignore them and go elsewhere if you're so against the idea of a civil discussion, which would frankly be better for everyone.
I'm a Star Trek fan, so the formal dialogue coming out of these future space people seems very organic to me.
Yo seriously! Cosmonaut doesnt seem to realize that while these are human characters, they are NOT Earth humans. I think George did very well with crafting a dialectic style that feels not of this Earth. Like you said, it feels very organic.
Even though I like some of Cosmonaut's reviews, I honestly feel like he watched star wars without making any real attempt to understand it at all. Hes just constantly questioning why things are happening but doesnt seem to realize the answers are right in front of his face.

When you see a movie as a kid, you only remember the good parts of the movie. As a kid you probably slept through the character-building stuff because it was "boring".
Seeing the old outdated choreography right before you see the new flashy fantastic choreography probably helped to boost your perception of the film.

@@casecao8412 That was really well said. But I think by putting politics or things that adults would appreciate, allows for your perception of the film to change as you grow up. Lucas didn't view kids as many others do, impressionable can't think for themselves etc. I think what he did was really great and am kinda sad cosmonaut couldn't see it this way. A very good precedent that has sadly not been replicated in star wars ever since.

I really hate how he calls anyone who likes the prequels an idiot, really shows what kind of person he is.

Such a refreshing view of the prequel trilogy. Thanks for this. I agree on so many levels. I went to see all the prequels growing up while of course already having a deep love for the OT. The prequels ran from age 4 to 9 for me and I still enjoy them to this day. They're not perfect movies by any means but they are well thought out Star Wars movies. Like them or not they tell a coherent story that links up well with the originals. Let's not forget the clone wars either. I never needed a nonsensical clustered mess of a sequel trilogy to appreciate GL but at least the amount of criticism the man has had to take from 'fans' over the handling of his own creation is finally being aimed at more appropriate people who have actually damaged Star Wars. Thanks again for the video
The original movies aren’t perfect either. Actually there’s no such thing as a perfect movie
Prequel haters: George made the prequels for merchandising.
*Fast forward to when Disney acquired star wars*
George donated majority of what Disney paid him, George seems to be more depressed about the treatment of his story then how much he is getting paid, Bob Igor books tells how George got angry and went crazy when he found out they would not follow it even use parts of his story for the sequels. So from this seems like George really did love star wars they were almost personal to him. In an interview George look like he was going to cry and stated star wars is his children.
@Adam Wasiura remove the prequels and star wars isn't what it is bro. You take for granted many stories of star wars yet undermine their source. No prequels there is no dooku, rule of 2, no ventress, no grievious, no clone wars, no mandalorians, no Jedi temple, no coruscant, no saw guerrera, no depth to Vader, no ahsoka

Just as Lucas said, many critics are illiterate when it comes to movie making.
Zvonimir Tomac lol did he really say that?
Hey, don't discredit movie critics (RUclips or mainstream), they clearly know what they are talking about.
Mainstream critics bashed films like T2 : Judgment Day, The Thing and Alien, at the time those movies came out, and they praised The Force Awakens and Last Jedi when those movies came out.
I rest my case ...
The ones who are trully illiterate on the movie making process are the directors like Ridley Scott, John Carpenter and George Lucas.
The real experts on movie making are the movie critics (movie fans), like RLM and Cosmonaut VH who bring forth facts NOT opinion!
Racho Rachev sorry man, that’s bullshit. The only “critics” that can state facts are accomplished directors, writers, professional staff and/or people with film degrees from real universities. Anything else is simply option, typically subjective, on the finished product with little to knowledge on the actual details, mechanics, and the professional experience to understand the intent of the writer and director.
@@DC8091 Sry man, I was trying to be sarcastic.

Racho Rachev fair enough man, my bad!!
The most unbelievable thing about Prequel critics is that none of them seem to be able to follow the plots of the films. It’s really not hard to follow them at all, so by using that as an “argument” they just reveal how dumb they are.
@Revan That's a good point. But regardless, they still make themselves look dumb!

Dude, if you can’t follow my original comment I can’t help you.
I quite like Cosmonaut's videos, but that one was really weird. It felt like a leftover from the era when blind prequel hate was popular. It did have like one or two valid points, but most of it felt like he tried to find excuses for saying that him not liking the prequels is more than just an opinion, when it really is just an opinion. I'm glad to see it destroyed by facts and logic.
I'm Glad To See A Cosmonaut Fan Take His Bias Out of The Equation
Bravo Sir
Agreed,for the most part his reviews are okay or pretty good but his star wars and mcu reviews can be quite frustrating sometimes.
There are times I like Cosmo, but there are also times he *really* irritates me. He wants to trash Resident Evil 3's Remake? Right there for it. But I don't think the Prequels deserve what they get, especially from someone who seems to do nothing but suck the Sequels off. Every single criticism of the Prequels applies to the Sequels.
The Prequels are shit though.
Because the Prequels are bad?
The worst thing cosmonaut said 18:44
He doesn't say
-i ll give my honest take
He declares that he pretty much wants the prequels to suffer the hatedom again
WTF?
Actually, he says that at 23:43
But I agree; that is probably the worst thing he says in this whole shitstorm of a video.
@Adam Wasiura I take that you hated the originals too then since they were also made for children .
@Adam Wasiura
Say you . And I disagree a series of movies solely made for children wouldn't have as much death of main characters ( as well as burning , disarming ...decapitating ) , wouldn't have this much politics .
In fact all things put in perspectives the originals qualify much more as movies made for children .
@Adam Wasiura
Children like action sequences but I would argue that most adults like them too ( which is a weird argument since one of the biggest argument people have against the prequels is that there is too much dialogues and not enough actions)
but you say :
"they hate cool characters"
I don't follow you , what are you referring to ? Generally kids love cool characters .
"don’t tell me I’m wrong."
You are not right then .

2-the bar fight were Obi wan slash a guys hand

5- the escape from the trash compactor .
6- the final fight with the death star .

I used to really like watching Cosmonaut. I thought he was very good at breaking stuff down and critiquing it. Until I realized that I just occasionally agreed with his opinionated conclusion on the subject, rather than his argument actually being good or supported by facts. He just...says things are a way without explaining why that's true. Which makes his videos incredibly frustrating to watch if you disagree with him on ANYTHING, because you can't counter any argument, because THEY DON'T EXIST.
FearingVirus Case and point his ‘Video Game Movie’. He uses Bioshock a game who’s narrative is a meta commentary for the interactive medium of gaming. Ignoring the countless movies are adaptions of books another totally different medium.
He says "Everyone talks the same" then say seconds later "They talk differently". If your not paying attention, it's easy to fall into the trap of just agreeing with what you want to hear.
I agree that the prequels are dogshit, but I think he's a pretty bad reviewer all the same.

Luke _was_ trained in ANH, is the son of the most powerful force wielder on record, and _still_ struggles to use an ability shown to be incredibly basic in the prequels, this shows how powerful he is but also that he has a lot to learn... whereas Rey can lift the side of a mountain with half a failed training session from Jake, triple collateral shot 3 TIE fighters, beat the main antagonist in the first film, download all his training, etc. Otherwise fantastic video Anom, keep up the great work 👍

"All the characters in Star Wars are lucky because they're the main characters"
Suuuure. Anakin who got his limbs cut off by Dooku and got manipulated by a sith lord because of his arrogance, the guy who couldn't save his mother and his wife, the guy who despite being the chosen one got his ass kicked and had to train and work for his abilities.
Luke. The farmboy who could barely do anything else outside of piloting, got his butt saved throughout ANH because of his inexperience, got almost killed by a Wampa and had to be saved by Han, struggled to lift a few rocks when training with Yoda, and got his arm cut off by none other than his own father, later having to be saved by Leia, Lando and the crew.
Unlike Rey who upon discovering that the force was a real thing can already pull off mind tricks, resist torture from a force user who actually has experience, can beat said force user not one but three times, despite barely knowing how to fight a few thieves with a staff, can somehow out pace Luke Skywalker despite the huge gap in their abilities, is profficient with a lightsaber despite never holding one in her entire life or knowing how it functions, knows Han Solos fucking ship better than the owner himself and somehow fly it better, can lift a bunch of boulders and use force heal without breaking a sweat like it's just some common thing anyone can do and the list goes on and on.
Point being that no, never in any world are these characters comparable to MaReysue cuz unlike her; Obi-Wan, Anakin and Luke failed, struggled, endured pain and hardship and despite being very talented force users they still had to work their asses off and train to be profficient and achieve mastery with their respective abilities.
But oh well, i guess being a "strong female lead" is enough now a days.
Lol you are fool of bs I can't even pointing out the struggles of the old with the success of the new look I can't do that too. Luke was a Gary stu he was able to use the force with no training to blow up the death star with a shot not even the best pilots of the rebels could take and also was able to use force pull with no knowledge of that abilities existence while Rey struggled with the constant stress to run back to her planet because of her false hopes about her parents while also not being that strong because kylo captured her with no effort.

@@Noname-nk5kv Writing only works when you look at it at a distance so you don't see how roughly executed the arcs are scene by scene. Cinematogrophy is bland and unimaginative. The acting is mostly on the rage from horrible to doable.
So yeah, I can see why many more people would say that the movies fail at most levels if not all to some extent.
The Sequels however, atleast have great actors and performances if everything else fails, so it is much less plausible for someone like me to say that the Sequels fail on all fronts.
That's why I think it is pretty hypocritical that the same people who say that the Sequels are in every way horrible, get offended and think it is unfair if someone says the same for the Prequels, which, taking into consideration classical movie-making, are much more rough movies all around.

yup
Yeah, whilst at the same time considering Sabine from Rebels to be a Mary Sue.
She isn't. She's not a great character but as far as Star Wars characters go she's not a mary sue
Ya let's leave out the part where he called multiple people a mary sue....
Contradictory, cuz he pretty much said Sabine is a Mary Sue... and Rey is just the same thing
Also, regarding Cosmonaut's arguments that Rey's origins are good because it proves that people don't have to be Skywalkers or Palpatines to be strong in the Force, he does know that most Jedi have the same thing, right? Most Jedi aren't Palpatines or Skywalkers, they were just random kids "adopted" by the Order because they were strong in the Force. We don't need Rey's bullshit story to prove that, since even big hitters like Dooku, Windu, and Yoda had nothing to do with Jedi bloodlines and were probably randomly taken from some orphanage or some parents who gave them away.
Twice the comment. Double the logical proven.

While in episode 1 the galaxy is a state of calm and peace. It is the calm before storm. That's why the most disruptive thing in the galaxy at the moment is merely a mundane ''taxation crisis''.

I'm honestly baffled by Cosmonaut's description of Shakespeare's storytelling as "the actions of the characters dictating their emotions". THAT IS BULLSHIT! The characters actions (and the entire stories) are determined by the emotions of the characters. Not the other way around.
Hamlet - The whole story is driven by Hamlet's feelings of suspicion and paranoia regarding his Uncle Claudius, and his irrational need for revenge.
Romeo and Juliet - The story is driven by two hormonally charged, emotional teenagers who make stupid decisions as a result of their emotions.
Othello - Every character's action is driven by mistrust and suspicion.
That's three stories alone which prove this to be untrue. If anything, Shakespeare makes a point in nearly all of his best works that it is the emotional side of people which drive them, not the action, and that humans often make stupid decisions when they let their emotions overrule logic and reason.
Ironic you point this out because when Palpatine says that he can save Padme, Anakin decides to genocide children for it with absolutely no questions. The prequels are the literal definition of characters being in service to the plot, which is shit storytelling.

Hello there
Wanna play a very dangerous game? you have to take a shot of Vodka whenever you see Adam acting a fool on every comment reply you look at ever.
@The Infamous what skill? Lmao
@The Infamous damn, you just love throwing around insults don’t you?
I hate it when people say that good acting makes a good movie. Let's look at the sequels, the sequels have pretty good acting. I think Adam Driver really kills it but the issue is that the plot sucks ass. Plot isn't interesting and really rushed.
The sequels have good acting?? Never noticed that before. All I see is constant overacting, which is completely out of place. Boyega being out of breath every five minutes, Ridley staring wide-eyed like a madman, and everybody in the First Order constantly yelling (as if that made them intimidating).
Plus, TFA features the single worst acted moment in all of Star Wars: General Hux` speech on Starkiller Base.
Good acting doesn't make a good movie, but bad acting can make a bad movie. Which is the case for the prequels. A shitty acting job can ruin a well-written moment.
case cao A lot of the acting in the sequels aren’t crystal clear either though. Daisy Ridley is pretty bland and often have the same facial expression. The rest either overact or in a way that doesn’t fit the saga. The later is more of a script problem however and not really the actors fault.
@@J1O2C3K4E5S I honestly disagree. I think the cast of the sequels do as well as they can with the script that they're given. The only reason Ridley's performance would ever come off as bland is because of how uninteresting her character is.

It’s weird how some people turn a blind eye to the flaws of the sequels but put the prequels on full blast, hell I like CVH’s reviews but the double standard is a bit silly at times.
Well according to him, every movie reviews, analysis, and etc. are completely subjective.
Oh so we got another Just Write situation here, clearly CVH needs to evolve as a critic with Reader Response Theory.
@@RogueFox2185 When he is being criticized, he always resort to the "it's my opinion" excuse. The thing is with opinion is that it's not a free pass. If someone has opinion, he better get ready to argue with it, because arguing about someone's opinion, is also an opinion. So people are allowed to have opinions on someone else's opinion. It works both ways, yet people like him are the ones who usually don't understand this.
And don't forgetting blowing them completely out of proportion.
Rogue Fox what if both are bad.? Disney just much worse.
I laughed out loud when Cosmonaut said: "For the first time I'm gonna try to watch this movie with my fully evolved film brain" (26:52)
Yes Anomaly, my bullshit detector certainly went off when he said that, although that is probably true for nearly every sentence spoken by Cosmonaut that I heard in this video.
Gerrit DeMan guess he didn’t realize that “evolution” is a constant process, and not an end. “Fully evolved” is a bullshit pseudoscientific falsehood.
This is big brain time
I’m pretty sure he was just making a joke
It was a joke. God, you people are beyond lame 😅
Nigga relax he was just talking about looking for technical filmmaking aspects instead of laserswords calm down!🤦♂️
He defends the new trilogy, but talks crap about people who defend the prequels. Bruh
Yeah well to be far this critique defended the prequels while talking crap about the sequels.
@Leo I can agree the sequels are trash. Special effects were good and music not amazing although still good.
@Leo what do you not like about the sequels. The fact that they're hollow nostalgia cash grab isn't a good reason I mean going into the actual movie
@Leo All good.
I can agree with most of what you're saying.
one thing I can't get my head around though is people say Rey is a mary sue which she kind of is. Although I would say the same with Anakin in episode 1. Anakin and Rey in episode 1 and 7 are somewhat similar. Both have some heartbreak family story and do outrageous things that they shouldn't do with that type of skill level.
What are your thoughts though
The prequels do suck lol.
One reason a lack of creative ideas is considered a problem especially in terms of Star Wars is that Star Wars was a series built on creative ideas.
since when? almost all of star wars in its original form was entirely derivative of action adventure stories and pulp science fiction of that time.
Jeezus, how tired I am of "hard to follow plot", "hard to understand what is going on", "8/10 too much politics" etc arguments regarding Prequels. The only thing arguments like this prove is that people who say that are dumb.
Alexey Serov Ep 1 plot evil company armory planet won’t trade with them does a blockage in retaliation. Hidden evil man tell evil company to invade the planet.
That’s it the premise of Phantom Menace.
Palpatine destroyed the Jedi with politics, not with his lightsaber or the force. The politics is crucial to the story.
Ikr How exactly is that an argument for why it’s bad?
@The Infamous Oh that guy who spread misinformation about GL in the comment section of his videos and who made a terrible response to a part of possibly one of the best Star Wars fan documentaries?
I used to be a fan of his until I realized he uses “its my opinion” as a shield and has zero idea what objective critique is. He is incredibly foolish.
And passive aggressive and full of himself. The only decent video of his I watched were the TCW and Rebels videos.
@Jimb0 I think people like him because the way he speaks is easy to follow, even if he says a lot of bullshit.
@@DanieleMulas-up7np His Rebels video decent? LOL. He calls Sabine a Mary Sue right after he made a reference to The Mary Sue Awakens in it.
@Jimb0 Just like people who take Patrick H. Wilhems seriously as a movie reviewer. Dumb sheeps.
@@Verebazs Well, while calling Sabine a Mary Sue is a stretch, she's got way too many things going. Mandalorian, inherits the Dark Saber (before giving it to Bo-Katan) former Imperial cadet and engineer, bounty hunter, street artist. While at least there's some attempt to make her lightsaber training an actual challenge, she has all these token traits that feel all too perfect, while her actual character is just a bland spunky tomboy.
That said, CVH couldn't argue it properly for shit, being the tool he is.
This came out in the middle of my ROTS binge and I couldn’t be happier.
I don’t know how, but this angry Aussie made me appreciate the prequels again
Thanks Anomaly, you’re doing the Whills’ work
I watched all of Star Wars only last year and was led to believe by everyone OT > ST > PT but I ended up seeing it as OT = PT > ST and I had never even seen Star Wars to have the capacity to be "brainwashed" to love the prequels, and yet, I loved them all, assuming there is some outside force that causes people to like something you don't makes you come across as incredibly petty and just plain wrong.
This is basically what happened to me. I watched the OT ages ago when I was still a kid, long enough ago that I didn't remember most of what happened. I didn't grow up with the prequels. I watched both trilogies recently, the first time I'd seen the PT in its entirety instead of just short clips. I rewatched them again recently as well, for good measure. I like them both equally. So that vapid statement that PT lovers solely like it for nostalgia is dead wrong.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your Revenge of the Prequels series. Thank you for making these and thank you for standing up for the real OG! Its wonderful to see all this support coming out in favor of George's legacy... though shameful it took Disney's destruction of the universe for people to finally start to see it.
Your work here in particular is inspiring because you're not afraid to tackle much bigger fish, these giants who have kept the anti-prequel circlejerk going for so long on YT. Personally I found it incredibly insightful when cosmonaut started to talk about how "there was peace on the internet" regarding the prequels and how they had been universally shamed into a corner pre disney era. Perhaps you could argue this was hyperbole for a joke or something, but I found it very emblematic of the attitude these people have. You see the same thing in Mr Plinkett's "review" of the force awakens, or rather how it spent the whole first half complaining about renewed appreciation for the prequels and going in depth on the "ring theory".
I suppose in a manner of speaking there was peace. They HAD essentially won for all that time, dominating the conversation and spreading the story that George Lucas ruined star wars. But now we get to see the fruits of their labor... What they had been pushing for all this time with the sequel trilogy: star wars tailor made especially for what those fanboys wanted!
And hilariously.. most are trying to distance themselves from their involvement creating the Star wars without George. RLM themselves had pined for getting JJ abrams to direct but now uncomfortably shift themselves over to be in the "it sucks" camp, just trying to remain relevant. IHE did the same thing recently and I remember his videos about star wars/lucas not too long ago.
Cosmonaut on the other hand is a rather special breed who just decides to doubles down. I swear his latest video on the prequels looks like it should have come out of 2013. But I guess that's not too surprising coming from his long list of bad takes...
You've earned yourself another sub sir. May the force be with you...!

He’s making up shit cosmo never said, twisting it for his star wars fanboyish sake.

George Lucas literally said “Jar Jar is the key to all of this, if we could get him working” George doesn’t even understand his own material. The og star wars trilogy was good because the editors fixed the nonsense George was going to do to the film. The prequels gave George full creative control and they were all the worse for it.

Him saying that Rey beating Kylo is just like Obi-Wan beating Maul is so fucking idiotic. Like yeah sure having lived as a scavenger on a sand planet should make you as strong as a jedi in his early 20's who has been trained since birth to use the force and lightsaber is a great comparison right ? , if you ignore all context such as him using the dark side, still losing the fight and having to use a surprise attack is the same as closing your eyes for 5 seconds and then winning. And don't say that Rey was using the dark side and anger just as much, she barely knew Han and Finn compared to Qui Gon who Obi-Wan was basically raised by during his life.
kylo was shot in the kidneys by a bowcaster. a weapon that is shown to have immediately killed 3 other people in the same movie. kylo is honestly lucky to still be breathing after that shot
@@TeamPopTartGaming Okay? Why did Finn lose to Kylo? Not only is he also force sensitive, he was taken at birth to be a stormtrooper.
Legacy Of The Beast Eddie because he isn’t efficient in hand to hand combat?? he holds his own against the one stormtrooper for some time but ultimately fails, and he holds his own against kylo for some time but ultimately fails. one of the first things we see rey do is take out two grown men at the same time on her own. she is shown to be good in a fight
@@TeamPopTartGaming She still hasn't picked up a lightsaber.

@Adam Wasiura no u.
@Adam Wasiura I like how this Adam Wasiura guy is commenting on every single comment here...trying desperately to insist on "prequels bad, CVH is good" and that all people in the comments are wrong xD
The prequels suck ass and I don’t understand why this is a “hot take” right now
@Adam Wasiura So... you are basically just a desperate hater who thinks his opinion is the only "good" one, aye? Damn, that's sad honestly.
You know, I for my part hate the sequels... but I can understand if people say "Yes but despite all their mistakes or problems I still love the sequels"... because everyone can have an own subjective opinion.
Also in this video series here there are plenty of arguments made on why the prequels are still *objectively* better than the sequels... and if you are not able to actually counter these arguments then you should just accept them. Because that is how discussions/arguments work.
@Adam Wasiura In that case I'd advice you to for example rewatch the exact video we are commenting below right now. He gives subjective *and* objective statements.
I honestly fail to understand what exactly you mean with your second sentence though... giving objective proof for your argument is *not* being a robot. It means being a rational, thinking human being (keep in mind that does not exclude having emotions).
And when you say things like "The prequels are dumb and everyone who likes them is too" that is a statement that requires proof/explanations (unlike with saying "I personally don't like the prequels")
People who defend the prequels have the *opinion* that those films are good, but they can also give exact and logical reasons for that, apart from just saying "I like it".
Prequel haters (and sequel lovers usually), like with the Cosmonaut VH you can see in this video, are from what I have seen the more illogical and hypocrite ones. Because they often use an argument to say why they love the sequels but then when the same thing also exists in the prequels it is suddenly a bad thing.
Finally its here.
I liked CVH when I first four his channel, but he's but out some incredibly bad hot takes in the past 6 months or so
Aside from his The Clone Wars video (and even that has some areas that were lacking), I can't cite a single video he's done that isn't either incredibly bad or regurgitating what's already been said by far too many before (or both). His Rebels video does a decent point at highlighting the faults of the show, though even that is brought down by the heavy double-standards he takes and inserts into the video revolving around Disney Star Wars.
@@choueriito2548 So basically, you want videos that validate your opinion, and get fed up when a youtuber has a differing opinion.
@@antimatter3084 Nice strawman, but no. CVH's argumentation to the points he makes are almost always incredibly flawed, this video response being definitive proof on how poor his takes can be. He is an embodiment of cognitive dissonance.
@@choueriito2548 I don't think I'm strawmanning when the Star Wars fanbase literally throws a fit over any video even daring defending the Last Jedi and just want repetitive videos regurgitating the same opinion about how Rian Johnson is a menace for making a mediocre popcorn flick.

I don't agree with Cosmonaut all the time(especially when it comes to the Watchmen show) but he hit the nail on the head when talking about the garbage prequels.
@@antimatter3084 Assuming I only dislike his videos because they go against my opinion is a massive strawman. There are plenty of RUclipsrs I like who I disagree with on certain things (even Anomaly Inc. on some areas), but what matters most is the strength of argumentation. That is why practically all of those TLJ defences you mentioned get lambasted. Not because they're defending the film, but because the arguments they bring forward don't stand up at all under scrutiny.
As for some major examples of Cosmonaut being filled with cognitive dissonance:
- Tries to act as though the spinning lightsabers in Rebels were more damaging to the franchise than TLJ's plot holes, the former of which being a dumb idea yet not world-destroying whereas the latter contains elements that prevent prior movies from having any integrity due to the introduction of things such as Force Ghosts interacting with the living and light speed kamikazes.
- Made a video on the Freeza Arc in DBZ being the best arc in Shonen, says the Chimera Ant Arc from Hunter X Hunter is not long after it's uploaded and gives flimsy reasons as to why he cited the Freeza Arc as the best.
- "You can jut skip the first season or two of The Clone Wars", despite how many important characters and plot points are introduced here.
- Says Rey isn't a Mary Sue yet calls Sabine out as being one.
- Says white people have no right to write about oppression. That just speaks for itself.
- His whole "Worse than you remember" video for the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy in general.
- Jumped on the "Nothing in film is objective" bandwagon, despite that mindset destroying any integrity one can have as a critic and then went onto say that only "true" critics like himself have a basis to analyse the quality of film. Argumentation from Authority, without backing up why he should be treat as the authority.
And, of course, the poor argumentation he had in his prequel videos that feature either blatantly misrepresenting certain parts for his narrative or employing heavy double-standards when it comes to the sequels. The fact you haven't picked up on this makes me sceptical you even watched this response to him. Then again, if you cite the prequels as "garbage" yet consider a film that completely destroyed the integrity of Star Wars' world building all for the sake of subverting expectations as a mediocre popcorn flick, I guess CVH isn't the only one with some cognitive dissonance.
I'm glad I watched all of these, b/c you convinced me to give the prequels a second chance, and... you were absolutely right. Just bought the blu-ray set last month. Thanks for explaining everything in detail. I mean I was 10 when Episode I came out.
Honestly Anomaly, I think that your approach to deconstruction is very respectable and one that this platform needs to adhere more to ensure that all of us, peers or not can stay consistent and admit mistakes in their argumentation without having to be scrutinized.

I rewatched this video and still got heavily pissed at cosmonaut for skipping the text of phantom menace and saying it's too boring. I would love to read the original saga words anytime. The new movies text crawl all garbage
@redwill17 Okay Boomer
@redwill17 You subjectively label as if it's fact.
@redwill17 Take off your Mickey Mouse hat, normie.
not really, i dont like text crawl neither
I never heard of this guy Cosmonaut. He sounds super arrogant, almost like a caricature. Does he not know that Lucas worked with Williams on the music. He gave him a lot of input on how it should sound. It's the reason why it's so good and so bad in the Disney movies. Because Abrams for example didn't know what the movie should even be. They were just one dimensional directors.
yeah Lucas does not get the credit he deserves, an actual legend.
@Julian R True, just wish people gave him a chance. He would have changed.
KingFoofy well clearly not because they gave him three chances and it was awful every time
@@OliSwuz07 He did change though, the clone wars is an example of this with some of the best episodes coming from ideas from George and his daughter (Mandalorians and nightsisters). But I was talking about a bigger change. The star wars underworld series had so much potential and it would have opened the doors to so much Eu material. By this point George was more open to other people directing his work.
People forget that George originally wanted Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard to direct the prequels, but they denied his offer. George couldn't trust anyone else to direct his work and I'll agree with you that this was a bad idea. But he showed so much growth after ROTS allowing other people to direct entire arcs in the clone wars and originaly planned for multiple writers for the star wars underworld show (this shows that he wouldn't take on multiple roles like he did with the prequels). So I'm sorry I think your wrong, George definitely would have changed.
You do realize this video’s title calls him a dumbass right?
I genuinely loved the prequels as a kid they're not as bad as people say they are.
a kids brain is not the same as when you are grown up. We didn‘t questioned the cringe dialoge back then.
@ Haha, and I was too adult to get hung up on the dialogue and just enjoy the film.
Me too then I grew up....
Niles Cooper thad okay. But it somehow means you overlook the bad stuff because your such a fan of the franchise. Wich means you can‘t talk objektivly about these movies.
@ not really
I love you man thank you for making your revenge of the prequels!
No problem
Hooray! The series is back! Edit: I can't thank you enough for this series, because it makes me realise, that the prequels are better then i gave them credit for in the past years. Sure i still see flaws, and to fully rewrite my opinion about them, i have to rewatch them. But still, thanks for giving those who liked or even loved the prequels a voice.
I still don't understand how everyone was so confused by the politics of the prequels. I remember i was like 7 or 8 years old and i completely understood what was happening in The Phantom Menace. A group of separatists (clearly supposed to be the south during the civil war, i watched a lot of Liberty's Kids) were angry at the Republic (the north) and took over a planet that was part of the trade route they worked through, and the Queen had to escape before signing a treaty to allow them to take control fully. The Republic doesn't believe in their claims, so Palpatine makes his move to make the Chancellor look like a fool so he can take over. It's really not that hard of a concept to understand.
His points are very bland, I don't see why people take people like Cosmonaut seriously
Nova Bushido I mean they aren’t that bland. These movies r awful
@@beraviousargentino9865 yea but his reasoning have no ground, he just states something without anything to back it up.
I honestly thought he wasnt really being serious. After the Reimi Trilogy video, i seriously thought that entire thing was satire with some actual criticism. Apparently, it was all criticism... which is just horseshit
Maybe they just don't take it all so seriously and like his humor and the way he talks. At least I do
I do because even tho I may not agree on some of the things that he says, he is still a funny guy and his videos are fun to watch.
I love he says he was brainwashed by the prequels because of merch.
As if the original Star Wars wasn't merchandised too, as if Back to the Future wasn't merchandised too, as if Lord if the Rings didn't have many games back then?!
But those are okay I suppose. Only the prequels. Yeah thats not hypocritical at all.
What kind of idiots does he have in his noggin that we think we are unaware that every blockbuster is cash grab. Everyone knows this!
The poster for a new hope was actually changed because of the Flash Gordon appearence, so yeah smart market was always involved
yeah but those movies were actually good movies
I like how cosmo makes such a big deal about learning about the character’s feelings when all of the characters except for Anakin are duty bound and professional who are almost in their element when their life is in danger. Anakin is different because he’s a child and he expresses many times how he feels.
Also, his argument of multiple plans having to be made is how most movies further their plot. It doesn’t make it bad. And if it was so bad, cosmo should offer some constructive criticism as to how it could be improved so he could stop adding to the garbage fire of displaced hate for the prequels
Cringey.
Being professional =/= no emotions.
@The Infamous Great argument as always👏...
@@Dragonage2ftw And they show plenty of emotions outside of their prim and proper areas.
But it does make sense to not show emotion when you're a member of a religious sect who's dogma is the removal of emotion. Or a child who's spent your entire life as a political figure and nothing else.
In clone wars we learned a lot about the characters feelings. L tale stfuu
People will really dismiss every criticism of the prequels and claim it was secretly genius. These movies are simply bad.
The opening statement he makes at the very beginning of this video is incredibly ironic when we know he’s seen the sequels
I went from not liking Episode I when I saw it in theaters, but as I've gotten older it's genuinely fun to watch from a storytelling perspective. Jar Jar Binks actually has some great scences; that scene between he and Padme near the end about their two nations is legitimately really good.
@Husky Lover My father used to call me Jar Jar when I was a kid; I've never really had any negative associations with him.
Some of the slapstick is a bit much now, but he doesn't get on my nerves to the degree, say, BB-8 or Baby Yoda do. Jar Jar at least manages to serve a purpose within the narrative, whereas the other two are there to be a plot device and sell merchandise.
Yeah, jar jar has a point to be, he is the one that encourages padme to take action, he stood by her because, like her, he was worried for his people, there was some depth to him, unlike 99.99% of the entire disney star wars canon
Not enough views. People should see that Prequels are awesome.
You know this isn't the only channel that carries this opinion right? There are loads of videos on RUclips that discuss the prequels in a positive or neutral light. This isn't 1999...
the prequels are tolerable at best
Two in a Canoe If anything this video will just make people hate the prequels more
the prequels had their moments of glory and their moments of shame, just as every movie, but at least they stood true to themselves, had an overall consistend plotline, and good action moments, the opening of episode 3 was the most glorious of all of them
i loved the prequels when they came out, i still love them today
all things i cant even in the least say for disney, it was a convoluted mess, no overall plan where it was going, the only speck of light since the dark age of the mouse came upon us was rogue one
And the Prequels were in some sort of way inventive. You can say what you want about Jar Jar but the motion capture techniques used for him did make way for tech being used to this day. It made way for Gollum, Davy Jones and such. So in some way Lucas did affect the film industry once again. Have Disney done anything like that with their films?
Adam Wasiura lol ur telling me that a shitty your mom joke from TLJ is for „adults“. Go educate yourself please
Adam Wasiura It takes away from the more serious tone of Star Wars. And honestly just ruins the tone of the film. You don’t see any of crappy jokes in the Prequel trilogy or the Original trilogy
Adam Wasiura so does Luke who just threw his fathers lightsaber off a cliff and ChROm DoME. Very funny adult humor am I right?
@The Infamous
The sequels are kids movies
Whoever thought it was a good idea to copyright John William's music should be forced to watch the sequels over and over.
