    Tbh I like how older movies don't treat their kid audience like idiots. Like it's ok to not explain every single detail and just trust that viewers will get it/ figure it out.

      Most kids usually don’t figure things out but it makes the movie more enjoyable for adults. And when the kids rewatch the movie, it makes the experience much better.

    For me, the most apparent sign of times changing is how the characters reacted to virgin.
    In the 1993 movie, Danni said "A _virgin_ lit the black flamed candle..." and rolled her eyes.
    2022 characters supposed to be about 15 saying "Wait?! Eww!""
    So pathetic, cringey and creepy.

      Especially when a grown ass 40 year old man was expected to be a virgin for some reason. Like the 16 year old girl said "ew" when shop owner dude said if he lit the candle it wouldn't work. Like yea dude he's an adult...

    Bro thank you for calling out how many times they say ‘virgin’ in the first one!! I watched the movie for the first time the other day and I was like wtf you’re talking about a kid! Thought I was missing something or I was going crazy overreacting lol

  • @NikkieTwix
    @NikkieTwix 7 месяцев назад +5

    The biggest thing I didn’t like was the fact they made the witches barely even evil. They kill a kid in the first 10 minutes in the original. She also didn’t care at the end when her sisters were about to be dust she was going to take the youth for herself. They did this with Maleficent and Cruella too ! We can like evil villains because they are a good villain AND they can still be fun without having to be sympathetic or “nice” deep down because they are fictional characters !

    The original Hocus Pocus was incredible, the sequel was half baked and poorly thought out. Too many wrong people involved who didn't value what the original had to offer which is such a shame because there was so much potential for a continuation. Wokeness definitely infected it, the teenage girls were obnoxious, all the new male characters were useless morons, and once again Disney tries to make classic female villains sympathetic when they shouldn't be. One of the worst sequels ever made and not having Max, Allison, and Dani back was the biggest mistake

    *The movie isn't that good because they are pushing that feminism agenda that men are creepy, weak, weird and annoying and woman are powerful and better the first Hocus Pocus was about boys and girls getting together taking down scary witches the new movie was making boys and men look bad and woman strong and powerful they couldn't even give the black guy a break he had to be a manipulator uugh i hated the way the movie ended the sister that didn't die should have been furious and changed into a real monster before she realized she couldn't go on without her sisters but hey what ya gonna do lol*

    @codyp.1184 Год назад +1

    No offense but the first one wasn't scary at all either, it was cheesy. I can think of several off the top of my head that are far more horrific. A Nightmare on Elm Street, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Jeepers Creepers, House of a thousand corpses, cannibal holocaust, The Shining, Last House on the left, Poltergeist all put this movie to shame on the scare factor. I'm watching it now, I enjoyed the first scene because at least here in America we have a fascist religious faction called the Christian right or more appropriately christofascists that want everyone living under laws based upon there faith and it definitely is an assault on that. Most people these days don't have the balls to come out and say that they believe everyone should have to subscribe to the Christian fascist ideology so they have to attack any form of art that chastises or condemns that propaganda. I built an entire fantasy world and based the history of the country my main character is from upon the history of America. Its a work in progress but it severely critiques capitalism, imperialism, government that has been hijacked by a corporate elite that is so hellbent on driving up profit margins for less than 3% of the population that the rest have to be enslaved, indentured to loan sharks, or forced into the military to aid in the acquisition of resources from colonies they have in less developed regions. I'm also heavily critiquing the class system of America but the way I built the military complex of country my main character is from. Basically even though it is mainly for the purposes of entertainment it has some depth, the plot isn't completely devoid of any meaning.
