In the midst of a major reshuffling within the DCU, a few movies are just kind of floating in in-betweenland. Movies like The Flash and Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods basically flopped, at least partially due to the fact that audiences aren’t really sure if they’re supposed to care or not. Blue Beetle is the latest movie in that trend, that’s maybe starting off the James Gunn DC reign? Maybe? But also just kind of doing it’s own thing?
Blue Beetle definitely raises some questions. Like why does this movie look so familiar? Why is this the 10,000th evil business person that wants to use a supersuit to sell as weapons? Why does that guy on the Big Belly Burger box look so much like Screenwriter Guy?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Blue Beetle!

I'm just glad we live in the timeline where Pitch Meeting fatigue doesn't exist :D
Don't jinx it
You said the name of the channel!
Making pitch meetings is super easy! Barely an inconvienience for Down’s syndrome Ryan Gosling!! 😉😂
What if there's more to RUclips than a wisecracking Canadian talking to himself?
@noahsimon8776 you sound crazy right now.
The intro where he immediately responds to the pitch with "Shazam" had me in stitches. Ryan never misses
He is the reason writers are on strike. Producer guy watched a few episodes and is wondering why he’s paying more than minimum wage for the absolute shite scripts.
It was Shazam meets Iron Man
The absolute legend.
Same here!! Freaking golden 🤣🤣🤣
@@CorePathway IRL producer guys are WHY there are only absolute shite scripts. They don't want to takes risks on new stories, so almost every story they okay is the same old story reskinned, with MAYBE a bit or two of window dressing swapped in/out/around. Almost everything produced by Hollywood is highly formulaic.
When Scriptwriter Guy said "They live in poverty", I honestly half expected Producer Guy to ask something like "And what country is that?"
@@egonprint Well... an iPhone is cheeper than a house so yeah.
What do you mean? There's more than one country? 🤔
How silly. That's not a country, that's a LOT of countries!
Detroit
I'M SO GLAD they pointed out Big Belly Burger's mascot looks like Ryan.
they O.o
Yes, they, there are 2 guys in the video if you didn't know.@@J_GamerSP
@@itsgonnabeokay9341seriously. They’re in the same room. It’s _obviously_ two different people. 🙄
But the Big Belly Burgers' mascot only looks like one of them. Doesn't look like the other one.
@@willrunriotobviously!😅
Love how Jaime is like “killing is wrong!” then his grandma unloads a minigun on hourly wage security guards
This is why we need to build that wall.
@@MAGAMANGo away, troll.
@@MAGAMAN Youre right only a Wall can stop those minigun weilding grannies !
Oh, minigun-wielding homicidal grandmas are TIGHT
@@EBTS-3 I think that’s Trump’s 2024 slogan verbatim actually
The "superheroes fight villain with the exact same powers" trope would be so good if movies used it to show how differently the characters actually USE their powers and it reflects the different characterization and background.
Yeah, I remember in the 60's, there was an issue of the Fantastic Four where there was an evil duplicate of Mister Fantastic and he noted how the duplicate was using his powers more violent ways than he ever would have. It could really help differentiate the heroes and villains with the same powers.
The only trope I dislike for that is when the hero spends the whole movie learning how to use his powers and the villain just learns nearly immediately (like Clark spending 10 seasons of Smallville learning to fly, but most Kryptonian villains learn instantly; or Superman needing years to control his enhanced senses in Man of Steel, but General Zod adjusts withing a short time of trying; or Captain Marvel/Shazam needing to learn how to fly, but Doctor Sivana not having any trouble... of course, Captain Marvel Jr./Freddy also just instantly knew how to fly, so who knows...).
I mean it's basically good guy with a gun and bad guy with a gun.
That’s what the first iron man did well imo
But that seems less cozy.
So Shang-Chi
I can’t be the only one who didn’t realize this movie was out already, right? Props to you, Ryan.
I didn't know either. Just like I didn't know that Shazam 2 was in theaters
I didn't even know there *was* a Blue Beetle movie.
@@batmanrocks6727I read that as Stalin 2.
I only heard about it because I follow some movie reviewers, namely Jeremy Jahns. I use him as a guide to watching movies that are coming out lol.
@@somerandoladI absolutely thought blue Beatle was a transformer movie and also had not come out yet
Gotta give Ryan some respect for committing to his roles enough to constantly swap 20 pounds of weight on and off for his roles as producer guy and writer guy.
Christian Bale wishes he was that wicked
😂
20-pound glasses are tight!
I heard it was barely ...
I'll let myself out
@@OldmanNix wow wow wow wow
Wow
The production was so sure the movie had no other road to go than ending up being a pitch meeting they put a picture of Ryan in the movie just to say "Here -it's all yours."
The producer guy not being aware of poverty was a superb touch
Is it even an exaggeration for real CEOs?
Very à-propos of what some CEO have publicly declared during the writers and actors strikes.
@makepeoplemad LOL that magical fictional world you live in must be amazing.
Found the CEO@makepeoplemad
@makepeoplemadtop notch sarcasm!
Watching a Pitch Meeting so I don’t have to watch the actual movie/show is super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Thanks so much, Ryan!!
Oh, watching Pitch Meeting videos so you don't have to subject yourself to mediocre movies is tight!
Don't let the copyright lawyers hear this
Do watch the movie tho - it's actually really good. & I never liked SuperHero movies, so trust me on this.
Movies good though, you should watch it.
He's the hero we deserve
The Big Belly Burger joke was amazing.
The flash 😊
Man it's crazy how good Ryan got at making these. His early videos weren't bad, the jokes were funny but the back and forth between the characters was a little off but now he's got it down to a T and has such great chemistry with uh.. himself.
Having chemistry with oneself is super-tight!
I guess for Ryan to get so good at these videos was super easy, barely an inconvenience
He is not forever alone.
one can say its now super easy barely an inconvenience
@@greek_geek6306 fr tho, he actually works really hard making all these vids
I'm surprised they went with "anything you can imagine" rather than "a ton of highly deadly weapons, half of which would destroy an entire city, so only use the tiny ones"
Well see, you care more about writing a good story than they do. It's a common situation these days.
Even that had been done before with Green Lantern and neither one used the powers properly. I mean, anything you can imagine? Yet they settled for just regular boring weapon shapes and stuff.
Bro it’s a 2hr live action film. Not a three season anime. And Even anime starts small.
@@KR-P Mind you I'm a huge Blue Beetle fan, and it's just canonical that most of the weaponry is extremely lethal and so Jaime uses the less lethal ones, even if the Scarab isn't enthused about it.
Probably so it doesn't sound clunky
I liked how she said to the guards to lock down the building but then he walks out the main door with the burger beetle.
Scientist guy couldn't find his keys. He had to literally run around the whole building and turn every lock.
The "Hey shut up" lines have become my favourite moments in these. Always delivered so perfectly too.
He not said it in this video wdym
@@yaqinmalul6467hey shut up
@@yaqinmalul6467 2:28
It's kind of ok, but the "get off my back" is my favorite. Idk why he replaced it :(
I personally like the “oh really!?” That follows super easy… it’s so consistently shocked/surprised.
Since I saw the film I was waiting for this Pitch Meeting in the hopes that you would mention the scientist getting back into the lab without his key card. My inner Ryan George came out when that happened. Thank you.
It came out by gnawing its way through your belly? Cause that's also from a movie, another movie that I saw
I also found it weird how Jaime was able to leave a building that was under lock down with the Scarab, at the start of the movie, but Ryan didn't mention that part 🥲
Having Ryan George inside you is TIGHT
Thats more of a CinemaSins than Ryan. Too small of a detail
Hey shut up
I really hate how everyone blames “super hero fatigue” for movie failures when it’s just bad writing and awful acting.
I completely agree… super hero fatigue isn’t real… bad movie fatigue is real
@@felixestrada7265 Gonna disagree. I don't know if any of these movies were particularly good. They've all been vaguely different degrees of mediocre. Even the "good ones" from 10+ years ago. The snarky Marvel humor has aged horribly in all of them, including Iron Man where it all started.
Maybe you still like those older movies, and that's great for you. But me personally, I just don't get any of it anymore. Guardians 3 got all sorts of love with people talking about how emotionally draining it was, but I couldn't tell you what was supposed to make that movie so obviously superior to Thor Four. They seemed equally lame in quality to me.
Oh, and there's also a bit of a problem of, "Well, to fully understand this movie, you need to watch these movies and those TV shows." Being handed down homework in order to watch a movie is brutal. This problem can often be overstated of course, but it does still happen.
I think it's both. I don't see any reason to think that guys with superpowers in silly costumes is going to be universally popular forever. They had a run any then other character types take over. People she and get mature. The following generation has other interests. There was a while in the 1950s when cowboys and the Wild West was huge. Everyone was doing Westerns and dressing in clothes inspired by them, the music even changed. But they got over it. The genre never vanished, but it definitely got smaller and evolved. Just because there will always be a core group of fans who really like stupidly powerful guys in spandex with magical abilities and outlandish villains doesn't mean you can sustain an audience of hundreds of millions of casual viewers on that forever. And I don't think any of the films ever qualified as works of art. They just weren't outright incompetently done.
For a moment I thought the Big Belly Burger Box was a gag until I looked it up. The smiling eyes are what really cement the resemblence to Ryan.
I thought the character on the box looked EXACTLY like the scientist she stole the key card from. Which is even funnier because he's eating food from a place that could be his own franchise.
Is this like the Disney + series with Marvel where they had bad guys who looked a lot like Doom Cock? 🤔
This pitch has the most side-tangents a Pitch Meeting has had in a long time.
-Superhero and energy beams fatigue
-Explaining what poverty is
-Screenwriter guy being on the burger box
The exec being wrong about their weights is perfect.
The single longest side-tangent might be the dollar sign pupils in Mandalorian that need a doctor visit and a support group
@@onothankyou literally the same human
And still wrapped up in record time. The movie didn't allow for any analysis beyond "hey cool, everyone's seen all this"
Who is Po Verty?
I just want to talk about the indestructible pick up truck. It was able to withstand multiple shootings and it just seems to heal with barely any damage the wind shield was broken multiple times but at the end there was a few cracks
Tacoma’s man! Top Gear couldn’t even kill a Toyota pickup!
The truck’s durability was the most realistic thing in the movie
Honestly I had a Tacoma and it survived the freeze in Texas, the hurricane in Louisiana and was hit by garbage truck drunk driver, my wife used it (ultimate test women driving the car) hailstorm in Tennessee, eventually I had to sell it and get a Minivan because I got kids, Toyota cars are really indestructible. And the guy that bought it moved to Michigan and still driving it until today and he tells me he bought a tank not a truck .
I got Toyota Sienna now and although it’s not as fun but holding on to the most hyperactive evil 5 and 3 years old (my kids), I’m saving up to get Toyota 4Runner .
@@stephen3164Top Gear carefully staged that whole thing to make sure that almost everything they did to it was cosmetic and didn't effect the running of the vehicle, or could be resolved with a little moderate maintenance. Toyotas are great trucks but I'm sick of that being used as "proof". It's not. Most trucks of a similar era would have survived all that exactly the same. A newer truck might have some issues with the computers getting flooded, but since it's a TV show there is no reason at all to think they wouldn't just swap them out, just like they drained the engine and changed the oil after it was flooded, and whatever else needed to be replaced (which isn't much on a diesel that doesn't even require spark plugs or an electrical system). Other that that, they dented the front corner on a tree. They dented the sheet metal with a wrecking ball. They set the cab and upholstery on fire. They flooded it with water.. Then they dropped a building _under_ it so it landed on top of the pile. None of those things would be expected to destroy the engine and drivetrain. The frame can be bent, the springs broken, you can get rid of the body entirely, as long as the engine runs and the driveshaft is intact it will still roll forwards, and that's their "proof" that its "indestructible". Any old diesel can be made to run again after being flooded with just draining the engine and fuel system and replacing the oil and fuel. But that's a lot more visually entertaining than showing a truck that has driven 500,000 miles, which a Toyota will do with moderate maintenance. Although so will a lot of trucks. If they don't rust.
What exactly is a few bullets expected to do to a truck? It's mostly sheet metal. Unless you hit the radiator and keep driving there isn't much to hit that is going to kill the vehicle. The occupants, yes, vehicle, no. I guess if you hit the fuel tank in the wrong spot and it all drains out, or you get lucky and hit a fuel line, that will stop it. And there are a few small parts on the engine that might be vulnerable if damaged just wrong.
The big one is the radiator, that is very likely to be hit and the engine will die pretty quickly after coolant is lost. It depends on what direction they are shooting from.
I love how when Ryan George was watching this when he saw Big Belly Burger he instantly knew what he had to do.
I always thought it was interesting to think what it must be like to be one of these guys with a career like this who basically had to spend every waking hour of every day keeping an eye out for anything they can use as material for their work. Like do they stop and take notes? Does a comedian see something and think "hey, that would be funny if..." and write it down? And doesn't that get draining after a while?
BTW, the old classics are better. There is no spiritual depth in Christian Pop, at all. "Seek out the old paths and walk therein".
Ryan spitting straight facts about how playing the audio backwards wouldn't make any sense. 10/10 message, dude is a wordsmith.
Really wish I could of seen Ryan’s face at the cinema when he saw that Big Belly Burger
I started dividing movies into those I hold off watching their Pitch Meeting until I've seen the movie itself and those I have no intention of seeing at all and I click the Pitch Meeting right away.
The latter have been SO winning lately it's not even a contest. :P
I do the same
I absolutely do this.
about 2 years of pitch meeting over films tbh
Same here
Once in a while i have to halt the pitch meeting because suddenly i want to watch the movie
I like how despite being a literal living alien the Scarab had less personality and humanity in it's voice than any of the literal AI in Tony Stark/Peter Parkers suits. It also doesn't seem to have any goals outside of protecting Jaime so at no point is there conflict because of it doing it's own thing, there almost is when it tries to kill but then it just happily accepts the no killing rule so clearly the Scarab is a team player. Jaime could probably solve every conflict in this movie with no issues by just letting the Scarab fight for him.
My review, movie had a lot of potential lol.
Bits of it were unique then it all got covered up with a hero receives the power that can do anything, with the girlfriend that can do anything.
There was a bit of build-up for the suits AI. Although it was rare when it actually spoke, which made it jarring. It was snarky near the end, but the monotone voice kind of ruined it.
I wished the scarab acted more..hostile? That’s at least how I’m used to Black Beetle, but this wasn’t bad to me, the voice being a woman (Becky G) was also different to me
That is literally the scarab’s primary objective, to protect its host.
@@vincenzoditrolio6985so does the symbiote of Peter, Eddie and others, yet it has personality for conflict
They Live just turned 35 & I saw it on the big screen. It totally deserves a pitch meeting!
That Big Belly Burger guy literally looked EXACTLY like Ryan. It looks as if it was based off him
Call me crazy, but I'm getting some real She-hulk vs Doomc**k vibes from that one...
Not having seen the movie, was that actually the box?
@@johntabler349 Yes, it was
The movie industry has become aware of him!
@@zogwort1522 In any other industry, she'd be _looong_ gone... alas, she must obviously know where the bodies are buried.
Ryan only ever provides sharp commentary on the movie industry and I am always here for it
And in this case, it actually seems like he liked it (enough not to hate it). He just describes the movie and doesn't gut every single plot hole in it. To be fair, it was solid.
SK is trash
The pitch for this movie must have been "Can we do the scenes were Spiderman got his tony stark suit with the AI in Homecoming except make it more Iron Man and lets hope no-one has actually seen those two very successful movies"
We aren’t fatigued with super heroes
We have fatigue of bad movies
Exactly. I'm hoping it's a permanent genre, like sci-fi eventually became. As opposed to a trend like westerns or war flicks that come in and out of fashion.
"Superhero fatigue" is the biggest Hollywood coping mechanism ever.
No, your movie sucked!
I’d argue it’s a bit of both. People are no longer rushing out the door to go watch the latest superhero flick and our standards for good/worth seeing have gone up significantly, which could be seen as a form of superhero ‘fatigue’.
Speak for yourself. Super hero movies are the most lazy kind of movies out there. Boring, repetitive, full of CGI.
Super hero fatigue is real. I was a comic book fan since I was 10. Now I can't stand this shit anymore.
Always will be grateful for this channel - providing accurate synopsis for movies I have no intention on watching lol
Heck, I needed this channel just to know this movie existed
synopses. plural of synopsis.
Ryan watches these so I don't have to, as always. Thank you for your hard work!
(2:26) Thanks for pointing this out. When I saw the movie I accidentally said out loud "how did he get back in the lab if his keycard was stolen?" 😄
Heyshutup.
bro... in every superhero movie...Marvel or DC they have that stupid unlogical stuff.

Passion 🎉
Super easy barely an inconvenience
The lines in the beginning, seriously, some of your best writing, GREAT subtext on the STRIKES....keep doing that
We don't have superhero fatigue, we have bad writing fatigue.
I was wondering if the writers were already on strike and an intern just copy and pasted the script together from other superhero scripts
Actually we have both, even the animated dc movies that I used to love, I'm just tired of the whole thing good and bad.
Exactly! People are always saying "Superhero fatigue" while ignoring the real problem.
@@alenezi989a3I kind of wonder if it is a habit thing. I was in the habit of going to see every Marvel movie in the theater, but that steak was broken by Black Widow for the pandemic. I still saw Dr Strange and Spider Man, but between poor reviews and mediocre writing it's just too much of a hassle to go to all of them.
Same thing happened to Star Wars; went from "yay a new movie!" to "I'm not even going to bother with streaming" in 3 movies. Was hopeful of the first, disappointed by the second, checked out for the third, and I still haven't seen it.
But with both properties I'll still watch the known good ones. I'm not tired of them.
Part of the problem was Disney ownership. Igner being back and having already worked with Fiege to cut a few of the planned movies so each can get more focus from Kevin should help on that front. The DC issues should also improve with Gunn overseeing them. We could yet get a renaissance in the world of superhero movies. Assuming the writers strike is resolved.
The 20lb back and forth is a deep psychological look into what one might think when they look into the mirror
1:52 it does look like him
Fighting Henchmen without names: hit them with all your moves that will critically injure them and probably kill them.
Fighting Bad guy with a name: we don't kill, we aren't like them.
Also, super butt Beatles are tight 😂
In the very end, the bad guy try to get a last shot at you, and you defend yourself by giving the bad guy a head shot.
No bad guys have ever gone to jail, except in Batman where they all escape again, they are always killed in a defensive way.
When you have double the standards:
...wait, I meant *_double standards_* lol
It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience to deal with Beatles. Just breathe and relax, breathe and relax.
SK is trash
Batman 1989 with Keaton did the same thing. Literally burn no-name bad guys to death, kill them with grenades, etc..but then try to save the evil leader...
I'm now watching Pitch Meetings for movies I didn't even know existed and I'm still sure I enjoy the pitch meeting more than I would have enjoyed the movie. Where are we at this point, pop culture-wise?
Here’s the thing about superhero fatigue, The Boys, Invincible, Sipder-Man Into and Across the Spiderverse were still popular and loved while Marvel and DC lost millions. It’s less superhero fatigue and more Marvel and DC cliques fatigue.
Ryan you are "the super hero" we needed! Cheers from Australia!
I love getting to watch a Pitch Meeting instead of having to sit through the movie. 😀
Life hacks! Save time, frustration, and money!
Me too!😊
Honestly I'm this case it was worth it...
@Matt-ig4yk I agree. I WATCHED IT TWICE. It's well done regardless of it being a bit cookie cutter. As someone who liked the blue beetle a bit from previous media, I feel this movie captured the spirit of blue beetle incredibly well. Past versions as well as new.
To be fair I wouldn’t watch this regardless. 😑
0:30 lmao this back and forth is exactly what’s happening in Hollywood, exactly. Funny vid, great stuff

Blue Beetle is a movie that would have been awesome to watch... 10 or 15 years ago. In fact, if it had been the kind of movies that started the DCEU, it might have caught up to Marvel.

@@Geraldo_Rivian Not really. This plot was alright, and actors did a good job. GL was trash in that too

@@markbrierley6367Yea, Spiderverse and Guardians 3 were the only superhero movies that were succesful and well received this year so it's more like bad and generic superhero fatigue
Wow, they both got a haircut at the same time.
One of these days, you should record a pitch meeting in half, where the producer is before your haircut, and the writer is after just to mess with people and see who notices.
He's gonna need you to get alll the way off his back about his haircut schedules..
He already does this on his channel with his super real and strong mustache.
Oh god, Ryan and his brother George is amazing duo. Just love their Pitch Meeting videos.
That's his dad dude. Not his brother. Can't you see the clear age difference?
I'm pretty sure the Big Belly Burger Mascot is based on Screen Writer Guy.
It looks just like him.
How is this even possible? You are getting better and better at creating hilarious content..Big big ups to you, this one is now my favourite. Cheers m8
"You're becoming better and better"? What a shite way to give him compliment. He's been top notch for quite some years now
Being top notch and getting better aren’t mutually exclusive. I’ve been watching for years and always thought it was great, but with the expansions and new creative ideas Ryan tests out it’s definitely always getting better.
I don't know about you guys but the backwards audio made a ton of sense to me. I'd never thought of livestock that way. Thanks Ryan!
The effort, creativity and editing that goes into Pitch Meetings is likely more than the movies he's talking about.

Please do a pitch meeting for 'Snakes on a Plane'. Ta. 🐍
Yes, that would be good
YES
Ryan needs to see this comment.
I wonder whose idea it'll be to make the film more jokey.
How would that work? Snakes on a Plane amazingly is actually a good movie. Much better than 99% of anything in the last few years.
I am so glad i only got to see part of this movie... my son turned it on before i had to go to work. I got more than halfway through and wouldn't have even gotten that far along if my son (8 years old) hadn't been so into it.
I was waiting for this one since the first announcement of Blue Beetle
I feel like you guys don't even need to tell us "spoilers ahead!" because we're gonna watch it regardless lol
I'm HERE for the spoilers lol
And not watch the movie anyway.
It's sweet that he still cares even though it's totally not necessary by now.
Guys. Lol
@sweetredification yeah Ryan and George
As the hugest comic book fan around, I can guarantee you, we don't have "superhero fatigue", we just have lazy/generic/shitty writing fatigue.
3:46 Wasn't the blue beetle stolen from her? It was hers and *they* stole it; she just wants her shit back.
@5:05 Hey, it’s that Bob’s Big Burger Belly box … guy… !
LMAO I love how you point out that Jaime is literally the only character in the movie that doesn't want to kill people. His whole family was down with wiping out all of those soldiers. The movie literally ends with a supersoldier kamikazing the villain.
If you think about it Ryan is totally susceptible to the fatigue that afflicts film critics. It’s not the bad movies that wear you out, it’s the hundreds of movies that are just… okay.
I guess invincible , the boys and spider verse are unaffected
@@johnlawful2272 High enough quality products have a tendency to escape (sort of like how 28 Days Later, World War Z (the Book), and The Walking Dead (Season 1 and the game) were loved even though Zombie fatigue was very much a thing.
@@johnlawful2272 Ditto what the other guy said, plus those examples are all different enough takes on the premise that they have originality going for them. Although Invincible season 1 did end with a fight against a villain that has the same powers but evil and a different color, so not totally out of the box.
@@johnlawful2272Spiderverse popularized an entire animation style, of course It's unaffected
Totally expected Ryan to pull an actual Easter Egg out of his pocket there.
Super hero fatigue is definitely a myth. But the bad writing fatigue is real as fuck.
I no longer go to the cinema. I get my fix from watching pitch meetings. 👍🏻
I do this with the bad movies
Terrible thing to brag about
Oh , selection of movies based on pitch meetings is Tight
It’s way more entertaining
@@christopherbuckley11 I'd feel worse giving any money to buy a ticket to a shit film when no one even tried to make it good. Going to the cinema for the sake of it, is just stupid. You should give money to what you want to see more of.
I'm thinking that this is my favourite Pitch Meeting yet. The back and forth is great as usual.
This is the first time I watch a Pitch Meeting without having seen the movie its talking about.
1:59 I had same thought when I was watching the movie!!! Self incert, Mr. Screenwriter Guy!
I played it in reverse to check it out and now I feel compelled to buy everything someone called The Adstronaut is selling.
You forgot the fact that the film was filmed in Puerto Rico. The airport scene is where the Comic Con events are held, the long bridge scene where he falls from space it's called Puente Teodoro Moscoso, the scene where his family is outside supporting him for the job interview that's in Hato Rey.
Did he forget it? Where's the joke in that? Who cares where it was filmed?
I thought this movie had a lot of heart and was refreshing... when it was just the characters. The action was like everything else we've already seen.
The way they did the story also caused me to roll my eyes at a few points. Why would a random teenager say "we don't kill" the first time he's involved in a fight to the death and his family is in danger? It's just weird.
@@SeraphSeph That was odd. It felt a bit Spider-Man. I think Holland says something similar to Edith. It felt like they had 2 writers for this thing. When anything action-ish with him in the suit is happening, it's every other origin movie we've seen a 1000 times. But the parts where it's just him and his family, that's solid stuff.
Like after they visit the mansion and he realizes he can't get if off and goes to the roof. In every other movie the girl would go and that would be there "moment" scene. But in this one it's his uncle...because that makes sense. He just met this girl, of course it would be the person he's known his whole life and helped raise him.
But as you say, the plot sometimes, it's so generic. They need to do something different with the new DCU. If it's gonna be this, it's gonna tank.
@@mike9512 hopefully. The next movie is stronger, and while I did roll my eyes at points 5he story and seeing where things will go in the future did intrigue me.
@@SeraphSeph He's not a teenager, he's 22 years old. And also, he's not a violent person, like at all. He literally is forced into violence, tries to talk to the guy repeatedly and only when that is in vain, does he agree to let the suit take over for him so he can try to get away from this guy. When the suit is about to kill the guy is when he takes back control and just wants to get away. That's a part of his character is to be non-violent and non-murderous. Two parts that get tested and pushed later in the film.
@@SeraphSeph ALSO, I figured that it was still about displaying the poor family and the consequences. It was already mentioned about not calling the cops so that they didn't have attention on them.
Rich people wouldn't have the same problem with authority.
being the logo for a fast food brand is tight!
I’m actually really disappointed this didn’t do well in the box office. It was a bit generic yeah, but I thought they did the character really well and Xolo was great as Jaime
He really does look like the big belly logo thing 😂😂
Loving the Pitch Meeting Revisited series! Can you please answer my question?
What was the most painful film you watched for Pitch Meeting, and how many times did you force yourself to watch it?
I'm guessing Star Wars Holiday Special
My guess will be Cats
Probably.
Damn y'all took the good ones. Ummm Les Miserables?
@@User-rn4bb Me too.
Ghostbusters, the all female one.
2:28 She snuck it back into his pocket off camera. You can do anything if it’s off camera!
Ohh off camera just like how Rudy made that device for breaching security... 😂😂😂😂
Ryan is the Big Belly Burger logo? Wow.
Lol once again Ryan's pitch meeting is a hundred times more entertaining than the actual movie. Keep it up!
I just watch it now to save my money n time
The classic hero moral code … “ do not kill … only severely maim and disable people” 😅 👍🏻
Only kill henchmen who probably have lives and families and are probably working for the villain to get by. Never the actual villain who does all the evil stuff.
@@sergeant_crunchdude they were ready to shoot a disarmed family no questions asked.
4:30 That ending to such a good-vs-evil-with-similar-powers fight also felt rather cozy. I mean, that's kinda how it all started.
2:10 CW: allow me to contradict that
“What if there was more to movie-making than wise cracking characters shooting energy beams?”
Can you even imagine how good that film world would be to live in?
OMG even the movies I haven't seen sound so funny when Ryan Pitches them :D
1:51 - my thoughts exactly LOL
Just came back from the movie theater
It is a fun movie, my son and I enjoyed it
And the cgi is leagues above the Flash 🤔
It looked great
I'll soon watch the Flash because it sounds like it actually tried to do something interesting with the story. If Blue Beetle does too, its marketing should have mentioned it
I played the video in reverse, and I couldn't understand anything. Ryan really puts a lot of work into his Easter eggs!
Speaking of Super Hero Fatigue: Maybe Ryan could also move on to new territory, beyond franchise fantasy? Like, maybe include some classics, thrillers, action movies, historical dramas, love stories, old movies?
That could be great. Maybe even some old franchises: "I hear you have another Thin Man movie for me, what's it called?" "Another Thin Man." The Marx Brothers or W. C. Fields would also be good choices.
Hey shut up
I find it quite funny that the new dceu starts off with a wish version of iron man. It only took them 15 years
Based and hilarious as usual, Ryan. Love how you immediately point out how copy and paste the plot is lol
3:24 that’s my new favorite reaction from Ryan.
"I put a lot of easter eggs in here... When you play it backward... the audio just becomes nonsensical..."
So it’s like Shazam with a little bit of Venom?
Amazing!
I get a lot of Ant Man too from this
It's like Shazam, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Venom, and Ant-Man mushed together, I think.
I have not seen this movie and wasn't planning to, so thank you Ryan for confirming that I'm not missing much
Worst Superhero Ever.
He has to be Rescued by his Grandma.
0:29 Superhero fatigue is def a myth. People don’t get tired of good films. Ppl have bad movie fatigue. If every superhero film was the quality of The Dark Knight they’d just be movies ppl enjoy.
At this point i watch Pitch Meeting before deciding if i want to watch the actual movie.
Been doing that for a few years now 😁 unless it's a movie I actually really wanna watch
