- In 2019, Glass disappointed millions of fans of the Unbreakable/Split world. The time has come to fix a broken movie that should have been the 2010's answer to Silence of the Lambs.

This is great, thanks for the video!
Glad you liked it!
BAM! FIXED!
This is much better.
Nooo because, the whole thing of Unbreakable was the son that believed in him. It was a father son story, the belief the son had in his father could do the impossible and is a super human was what made that movie heart warming and great. You take that away in Glass and you just ruined everyone childhood
I completely disagree. As people (and in good character writing) people change in time. What can once be good can change and vice versa. I highly doubt you have the same exact interests now as when you were 10 (I'm assuming you're older now). It's reality and what makes us interesting as people. I would also think that the relationship from when he was young actually brings more gravity to the twist.
In regards to "ruining everyone's childhood", if they had that twist in Glass and people realized their childhoods sucked, they have other things going on. The only exception I can currently think of to the "ruined my childhood" thing is the Quiet On Set documentary. (That will haunt you.)
In all seriousness, I very much appreciate your comment. The amazing thing about art, in all its forms, is the conversation it inspires. I would love for you to make a video on how you would have fixed Glass or tear my version apart. Criticism helps a creative mind to grow.
But it was an unhealthy fixation by the son. Remember, he pulls his dad’s gun on him at one point. It takes David saying, “I will go away,” for the gun to be lowered. The seeds are there. This works really well

The idea to me is quite cheap writing, it’s very tropie. There’s this weird assumption that in order for someone to stay interesting they have to have to be flawed in some way but choose to continue to do the hard job of saving people anyway etc. That his greatest enemy was the one he created himself such as his son being his biggest enemy or probably another one his wife becomes his greatest adversary or his best friend, hell why not his cat 🐈⬛ or dog 🐕 😂. It’s cheap unimaginative writing just playing typical tropes that has being over done and saturated. It’s the equivalent of someone taking a photo in black and white or off brown, playing with a viewers bias to believe is more artistic than it really is. It’s a gimmick, no what was clever was creating a character like Swarm a character with multiple personalities and one with great agility and strength who strikes fear again his enemies having to fight an enemy strong and more durable who stands their ground. What was great about ‘unbreakable’ was a man who defied most odds and was in the verge of greatness as a football star but gave it up for love. Gave it up for the simpler life such as a family, even though multiple times it has been proven that he is not ordinary he chooses to not believe it. In a world where everyone wants to be special he was a man who was special but didn’t want to see it and it took the love and faith of his son to make him the hero we see in the future. It brings back that great feeling of nostalgia when you see his son supporting him in the future, if you was to make him the bad guy you essentially taint the whole origin story and create loss of faith of why he was finally able to choose to be a hero. I think it’s an idea to make the son the bad guy but person I just think it’s very typical form of writing and just basic that doesn’t think of the essence or the core origin of the story. In a way it’s a betrayal to the original idea, I think better idea is that Glass should have been a more mastermind of a character, it should have been unveiled that both villain and hero have been in a constant battle since the first movie and not him just locked up in a facility. Then other stuff about other people with powers and a hidden powerful group trying to get rid of them all is still a great idea
As the author, I can confirm it's cheap writing. That's why I'm not a professional writer. 😂 I completely agree there are tropes used, but they are all tools available to tell a story be it good or bad. One of the challenges of a good film maker is how to make those tropes work.
John Wick did nothing that we haven't seen before, but it was done in a way that glued us to the screen.
This exercise was not to write the perfect movie but to show how what was done disappointed those of us that loved the world building that led up to this. It was also to show possibility that was missed.
I would also agree that Glass deserves (both in my version and the actual version) to be foremost in regards to his intelligence. That's why I like the idea of someone pulling the strings from a position that no one would see, relying only on his intelligence. In this case the hospital. If you then argue that The Eye then cheapens that intelligence, I would then say that it's stronger because Glass was so blinded by his obsession with The Overseer and the Horde, while underestimating anyone without powers (as the eye was just an average man) that it exposed his weakness, his pride.
Ironically, to your point of giving something up for a different life, that's what The Eye would be doing just as his father did with football all those years ago.
You may find it interesting that two options for the twist was that the wife was pulling the strings or Glass's mother. Both would have been interesting but when I wrote those alternative versions, they felt too much like a stretch. I could not make them work even with the help of a friend who makes a living with this type of stuff.
Again if the film maker can make the trope work, it can be magic. You made mention of the black and white photo example. Steven Spielberg won best Director, and picture because he knew how to work that very trope.
Again I love the comments. I don't get to stretch my movie nerd legs very often and I enjoy this conversation. Thank you.
@@hotchoc5 Sorry, but I agree with OP. The twist of the son is just that: a twist. The person David gave his life up for and did everything for betrays him in the end. It’s almost biblical, and that’s why it works.
