"It doesn't matter if you're fat
Or rat
Or a toy cowboy with a hat"
Oh man, that's some true poetry
And The Wild Bean Appears He's the new Shakespeare
"Everything is political. The only time it stands out is when you don't agree with it"
THANK YOU. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THIS???
Kelly Joule Everything isn't always political. That's the ideology of certain collectivist groups, such as NeoMarxists and NeoMarxist feminists.
You proved his point.
Kelly Joule Ah yes O remember when Kirby began talking about the dangers of extreme communism and how democracy is the best for freedom.
Everyone and everything thing has an agenda but saying that everything is political just sounds absurd.
Because it`s not true.
Not everything is political, but everything is ideological, as art is all about communicating ideas.
That is honestly not a good sentence, telling kids to be themselves shouldn't be seen as political.
I always loved Mulan growing up, My parents weren't in a good place while I was growing up. I would always take my brother to the park whenever things were getting ugly. She helped me to remind myself to be strong for my brother. After high school, I needed to strong once again but for my whole family and I enlisted into the army. I never expected I would find someone to be my Shang towards the end of my training but I did. And just like Mulan's family they couldn't believe I got married 😂
Thanks for sharing!
Your comment was legit better than half the stuff I watch for this channel 😄
celesteatsouls Wow, maybe there's Hope for me after all.
Elastigirl is my favorite Disney princess.
I loved that scene in Wreck it ralph 2 about princesses.
PowahSlap Entertainmint
Nah, she's a *THICC QUEEN*
Fancy meeting you here PowahSlap Entertainmint
PowahSlap Entertainmint *THICC* ness
PowahSlap Entertainmint you are going to trigger a lot of people
Yeah, it’s all about the way you view it, right? A person can see Elastigirl standing for women in general, but I see her standing for moms who don’t believe they have what it takes to get their second wind. The movie rocked where it counted and flopped when trying too hard, but you could say that about nearly any Pixar movie.
And if you asked me, Bob was better written than Helen. I loved that he gave a genuine effort to be a good father, but still struggled with the fact that he was staying at home. Not because of “gender roles“, but because he had a thirst for hero work. Even though he was selfish, he still wanted his wife to succeed and his family to prosper.
Fantastic perspective. On both Helen and Bob
I liked that too. It didn't feel like the approach that the left takes towards sexism and gender roles. It felt respectful of both.
Besides, Helen stops a train, she gets flowers and parades, BOB stops a train, he ends up breaking the camel's back, get sued for doing his job, and suddenly superheroes are made illegal. I can sympathize with the guy.
NitroCharizard that's the funniest part
Bob's parts were my favorite bits lol getting through parenthood with a personality like Bob is hilarious (at least watching it)
Elastigirl role in the movie is not bad, nor is it forced like most SJW movies nowadays such as the new Star Wars movies, Ocean's 8, Ghostbusters, etc. The movie wasn't just that memorable, and the plot for The Incredibles 2 is just average to mediocre at best.
This is actually a brilliant observation. The politics and manipulation of Pixar is not something I've considered. That probably means they've been doing it well.
They’re sneeeeaky
Nigga you lame.
Hi Nate nice to see you here
I already have my own thoughts on matters. It's just nice to see more positive and progressive concepts being introduced to younger generations.
God forbid women become leaders, or family be a flexible concept, or people of the same gender being in love, right?
These are fairly reasonable moral objections, and I have no issues with them being big parts of future generations' upbringings.
Dudeeeeeee I watch ur vids, it’s cool that I randomly stumbled upon this comment haha
I believe that my tree in my backyard is *_incredibly_* political.
TRIGGERED!!!
So your saying that he attacks people on the internet? Must be tough.
Or is he just running for office in 2020?
That pun was *incredible*
my one rule with this is that if you are going to showcase a message that deals with social justice topics it has to blend well with the story, I felt that incredible 2 did a great job showcasing female empowerment without shoving it down peoples throats like the Ghostbusters movie did. Dc did a great job with this with the wonder woman movie.
Tsvakirai Mutombo I guess you are right
I disagree on Incredibles 2: while I thought that more time was spent hyping the feminist angle than actually talking about it in the movie(thank goodness...I can't stand preachy movies), Elastigirl's character arc was poorly written...bordering on nonexistent. She didn't grow as a person or learn anything in the movie. If you're going to make such a big deal about "it's HER turn" and her being the Strong Female Character®, then at least put some thought into making her a well-rounded character.
RianeBane - Yeah, from a character/story perspective, Helen's half of the movie was super weak. It was fun to watch, but like you said, she just goes along abandoning her family and saving everybody, and doesn't learn anything or change as a person.
The true villain just pops up and Helen's part of the story simply ends as the movie rushes to the third act.
Drinker_Of_Milk - Actually, that was a clip from the first movie that they put into this one for some reason. In the context of the first film, it was to show the contrast between the young Elastigirl (the interview) and the older, married Elastigirl.
RianeBane I see where your coming from, because the more I think about Bob really did get all the character development.
"...The only time it stands out is when you don't agree with it." BINGO lol Easily one of your best videos, balanced truth bomb.
That`s only true if someone is subjectively viewing movies. I try to watch them through an objective lens. I wanna see the movie accomplish what it wants to convey.
I would like if a movie had message about how you can be friends with your family and older friends even though they don't agree you on politics and other things.
Because I think that's a message especially west needs.
That would be great, right now. It's getting ugly out there, and learning to see other perspectives (even those we disagree with) is something kids don't get a lot of, these days.
We need a Family Ties type show or even movie right now.
MetaTeoria X-Men with Charles Xavier vs magneto is proof of that. I do feel the bit at the end of the video is lame. I don't even have to mention Mulan or Tiana, Belle from beauty and the beast heroically traded her life for her father's. Shown so well in that beauty and the beast manga: the beast's tale.
@powerstar 2028 lol LGBT can do no wrong eh? Stay brainwashed. Never forgetting that bs against Ruby Rose and Ginuwine
There might be, there probably is a degree of politics with leading Incrsibles 2 with Elastigirl. But you've gotta think about Pixars approach to sequels. Cars and Cars 2 had a protagonist switch from Lightning to Mater. Monsters Inc. to University switched from Sully to Mike. Finding Nemo to Finding Dory, that ones in the frickin title. I'm kinda blanking on Toy Story right now, but I remember that one as consistently leaning towards Woody. Anyway of course Pixar was going to shift protagonists. They've been doing it.
I think putting Elastigirl in the forefront was a great idea and was still allowed to be an equal with her husband as her family is her highest priority. I'm iffy on a lot of women led films because hey like to tell us as if it's special when it should just be normal if it's all female, all male, or mixed depending on the story.
Kathryn Vincent It was also somewhat a subversion of the "Strong female lead" since... Well, the story was actually split between both characters equally, and emphasises the cooperation of family as a whole rather than just "fighting to save her family"
I think the whole point of the Incredibles is that they're a family and they work best when they're together. Both Bob and Helen tried working alone and they both needed their family to save them, but I'm glad Incredibles 2 featured Helen a lot because I like her character.
Pixar even lewded Elastigirl, nothing is sacred.
Justin Y. Bruh she T H I C C tho
It’s the nonexistent yet ever present commenter. How unsurprising.
Justin Y. Lol. You again.
Oh you finally came, you son of a bitch! He mentioned you in one of his videos by the way 😡
Justin Y. I just saw you on the last video I was watching.
elastigirl my thicc queen 😍😍❤
How u know she thicc and not just stretching like that 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Jackson Hayes ik a thicc queen when i see one mate 😍😍 mrs. helen par is the og baddie
Jackson Hayes if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck mate.
Schwinn D. Yeah but what if it's a shape shifting rabbit and makes itself look that way
If a shape shifting rabbit makes itself look like a duck Elastigirl is still thicc
the real heroes of sleeping beauty are three old fairies who gave the prince a sword & shield to defeat maleficent.
Ali AlQaed the hero of sleeping beauty kissed a girl without consent!!!! Lip Rape. XD
Fjparasite Moreira I mean it woke her up and the kingdom from the curse so that's a good thing.
Fjparasite Moreira you should read the original story. You'd be surprised to know Disney toned it waaay down from actual rape and even birth
If anyone's to blame for that kiss it's the fairy who put the spell on Aurora that said only true love kiss can break the spell
Growing up my mom worked at our local Disney store so all of my favorite movies from childhood are Disney princess movies. That sticks with you. One of the first papers I wrote in college was defending Disney princesses because people like to say they make little girls less well rounded and ultra feminine.
Damn you had the hookup!
The people who say that are just insecure and don't have any life whatsoever lol Nothing wrong with girls being feminine or tom boys, the fact that you can have such different type of girls PROVES that they're well rounded.
Preach it, man. I think movies/tv has had such an enormous effect on my development (I'm 27 so The Lion King was my shit) but I also see things like what I believe being wrong because of the way media influenced me as a child. Things that my mind was brought up to believe about the kinds of people in this world being reduced to a few stereotypes, 80% of the time that shit isn't true and I think back on where I learned that and it comes down to the movies I watched as a kid. Very important work that Pixar is doing but it's also equally on the parents to help navigate their kids too.
100%
Blankface91 Great comment. I agree.
Jason Voorhees man I've never seen someone take a comment to such offense when it wasnt directed at them even remotely. I encourage you and the other individual who felt the need to go out of their way to prove to me that evidently, "Stereotypes are a good thing" to do some research about why they aren't. You deny people an opportunity when you've predetermined who they are based on what color skin they have, what their sexual orientation is or any other uncontrolled factor they might have about them. Take a chill pill dudes, the world won't change by you replying to comments with your angsty opposing views, it changes by having discussion. Look at both sides of that coin before you decide which one you agree with.
Blankface91 He never said they were a good thing.
They just reversed the roles from the first movie for the sequel, elastigirl got the new job and bob was left home, I highly doubt pixar had any agenda
Swagger McJagger it's also something that can happen. The wife stays at her work and the husband's company closes or something and he takes care of the kids. No agenda.
I didn't think that was an agenda at all, but I did notice that there's little comments from Brad Bird sprinkled throughout, particularly with media, messaging, social media, distraction, simulation, and nihilists or reactionaries
Quinn Fluet I dunno about the whole nihillistic part. Where did that come from in the movie?
Saúl Ortiz Rivera towards the end, Evelyn says something about like "your core values..." And Helen comments "at least I have core values"
It wasn't even an agenda, just a basic storytelling point of Pixar: have your characters faced with a situation they're uncomfortable with.
It happened for both Helen and Bob: Helen wasn't very convinced (At first) of the new job and Bob could really be seen struggling between his jealousy and his love for his family (Pss, Bob's arc IS better and more relatable).
In the end, Helen's attitude about "leaving the rest to the second guard" does make it very human though, she enjoyed the job but it shows she truly missed her family and apreciated Bob's support (Which was probably for a certain ultimate goal of being back in action but it does show an interesting and believable couple relation of truly understanding each other and respecting their motivations).
A lot of people were upset after they saw the incredibles 2 complaining that the movie was designed just to cater to the feminists agenda and personally I disagree. I think it makes sense to have a roll reversal like this because in the original mr incredible got to go out and fight crime while elastigirl stays home and takes care of the kids. In this movie those things are swapped and it shows that both jobs are hard and that both parents can be good at them. The movie never blatantly complains about how a man always saves a woman like in the wreckit Ralph trailer. Modern children’s movies have a problem with talking about how there is an unfair balance between their male and female character but then they never don’t really do anything about it they just acknowledge it and it is pointless and clingy. What I liked about the incredibles 2 is they showed a girl in the spot light being badass and they didn’t make it a huge deal that she was a woman, she was just a superhero and I think that’s the kind of content we need made by these companies that want to have a feminist agenda.
Yup. Even more so - it was the family working together that saved the day!
AND Frozone, of course
Frozone is _basically_ family at this point.
They even subvert the "We need a strong female lead" in the plot by marketing her as such when in the end Helen simply dismisses the importance of her being "A female hero" and just does everything out of being "a competent hero"
Yeah, we need more movies that stop making a huge deal of their leads being female, as long as they are strong leads the story works
It's not just about Elastigirl, it's the entire family + Frozone
I thought Elastigirl was great as the lead. Her superpower has always been my favourite, so I'm glad I got to see some amazing action sequences particularly the train scene. Although in my opinion the first is still superior, largely due to the villain. However on the topic of political messages I felt that Incredibles 2, tries to put forward this whole "men suck" message. I felt this way when they show Mr. Incredible struggle taking care of his family without his wife. Although I convinced myself it was just a nitpick, up until I saw a cooking show playing in the background of a scene, and I literally heard the sentence "It's so easy even he can do it". Women shouldn't be made to feel empowered through the degrading of the male sex. That's not how equality works. It was a small issue for me, and it didn't ruin the overall experience of the film. But I have been noticing a considerable amount of unintegrated political statements in movies these days (SOLO), and I hope it doesn't continue. Messages should be deeper and even metaphorical. They should just be expressed through a single character (L3-37) or a line of dialogue, because in the end of the day "that's just lazy writing".
I actually thought he did a good job of taking care of the kids, of ‘course at the beginning he was a bit clumsy because he wasn’t used to it. He really grew on me in a way he didn’t in the first movie.
Btw not trying to undermine your view of it. And I totally agree about the villain 👋🏻
Nice ending line as always.
Max Keeble influenced me in a BIG way
Living near Disneyland and with the opening of Pixar Pier I see the influence of Pixar and it’s crazy. Toy Story is almost 25 years old and for many people Pixar has just always been around and like Disney, they are the standard for animation. Pixar can do anything and they can influence everyone. -Josh
When it stands out to me is when it isn't subtle, and the Incredibles 2 is not subtle
That’s fair. It does have like 69 themes going on at once
I will say I might not agree with everything you say, but the videos are entertaining and I will never stop watching them
i didn’t really grow up with disney but i finally got around to watching some of them, the only ones i liked/related to were mulan (and treasure planet, the rescuers down under, and tarzan, but those aren’t really princess movies). mulan was such a badass
Mullan is the ONE live-action adaptation I think would be dope
Nope they don’t have shangli in it so that means I won’t hear my favorite song
ɮօʊռċɛ օʄʄ i grew up on the animated scooby doo movies and a selection of pixar movies- finding nemo was the first i think, the opening scene scared the hell out of me as a kid tho😂
This is such a good take. Really well made and entertaining (proving your point lol). Subbed.
My princess is Fiona
I still love the original film than the sequel because it felt more sober and had more moments. While the sequel kept going on to the next scene and the next scene and the next scene and etc. Plus is it just me or did the sequel feel more adult than the original? Anyway I liked incredibles 2 but I admire the first one a whole lot more.❤🌹
They caught me off guard when they were drinking Manhattans lol
I loved Incredibles 2. Elastigirl kicked butt and the new supers were great too.
Ryan Carless But the plot was shit and it didn’t bring anything new to the table.
In my opinion it was kinda disappointing, the pacing felt jarringly fast compared to the first movie that took it's time exploring the family's mundane everyday life. And I kinda agree with Adam from YMS, they missed an opportunity to set the movie further into the future where we see the characters develop even more with age, also maybe have the design and aesthetics be an homage of the 90s like how the first ones was homaging the 70s/80s
Ryan Carless I really liked it too! Despite it not being nowhere as dope as the first one. It still held up.
Of course it didn't bring anything new to the table. Between Incredibles and Incredibles 2 were 14 years of Marvel and DC movies
Adewale Umbeteweawea New to the table in the sense of the first film you bozo.

Isn't she too big?
Elastigirl is somehow popular in the comment section
-Like if you agree-
Wait, so everything is political, we just don't see it when we agree with it? So how is something like Dark Souls political? Or Kingdom Hearts? Last I recall, I wasn't like "Thank God Dark souls has their form of the second amendment or else I wouldn't be able to kick so much ass." Things are getting MORE political nowadays, which is the main reason why things like Marvel Comics are suffering so much. People legitimately turn to entertainment to get AWAY from politics. They don't want to stop watching news stories that focus on feminists pushing "strong, powerful women" just to read comic books pushing "strong, powerful women". They turn to them to watch Wonder Woman kick ass or Batman solve some sort of intricate puzzle.

Besides packed with nice info, your videos are legitimately entertaining to watch
I mean I like the idea of strong women in movies but where are the strong men and fathers rn?
When they are most needed? (Male suicide rate growibg faster than female suicide rate)
What does suicide have to do with who's the lead in movies?
Plus strong male leads haven't gone anywhere. if you're for female leads then stop feeling threatened by them by insinuating that the growth of female leads is actively harming male leads.
It's not. Both can coexist.
David Lopez I mean that men often look for father figures and role models, mostly without realising it. It's important to boys to have a man around who they can learn from how to be "a man" and get inspired and empowered by. This also applies to women (I think to lesser extent though) and it's great we have had some great fictional role models like Mrs. Incredible.
I'm sad that the amount of strong (well written strong) men in movies is declining rn.
I wouldn't be the person I am today if not for obviously my parents teaching me about empathy and fairness but also the movies I grew up watching; Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and so many others. Through all of that I'm of the belief that no one is superior to anyone, we're all capable of great things but we only do it, and do it right if we're wise enough to know what's right and what's wrong regardless of politics or religions.
I was actually surprised that Incredibles 2 didn’t go full feminazi when I watched it. It’s still a mediocre film but definitely not as bad the Ghostbusters remake or the new Star Wars films when it comes to “pushing an agenda.”
When I grew up I was OBSESSED with the joker and Esmeralda .
"my friends saw harry potter and they're not wizards"
Are you sure that lady doesn't just avoid eye contact with any stranger though yo? Social anxiety is pretty prevalent today.
Ohhhh let me tell you. I skipped over the part where she tried to hit me with the mop when i entered by “accident” lol
But at the register - this lady had a 7 minute convo with her friend who was ahead of me because she didn’t want to cash me out.
I was like “Ok, maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe she isn’t just glancing right at me to see when I decide to dip the line” UNTIL she straight called the dude behind me to come up in order to avoid me 😂😂
The AtZ Show Wellllllll point made haha.
I thought The Incredibles 2 was amazing. I thought the writing was great the action was great but most of all everything that happened with the characters I thought was 100% believable.
My favorite two things were the reason they picked Elastigirl to be the face of the new movement, and the reason Mr. Incredible had to wait for Elastigirl to do her thing before he came out.
Elastigirl has the power to stretch, that's it, she couldn't destroy anything if she tried really when you think about it. Which makes perfect sense if they're trying to minimize destruction that they would pick somebody who is powers are minimally destructive. They didn't pick her because she was a woman, because it's about time, or anything like that. They picked her because she was the right person for the job, and I think that's the right way to do it. And as far as Mr Incredible goes of course he wanted to be in the spotlight, of course he wanted to be out there. But he didn't want to be out there only because he didn't want a woman taking it Shine, he wanted to be out there because he's mr. Incredible and that's the only thing he's good at. But when he really buckle down and put his mind towards being a father to his kids he started to shine in that area too oh, and he started to realize that that is just as important, if not more important than saving the day, being a father
Belle had a big influence on me when I was young. I recognized myself in her because she felt like an outsider/kinda lonely at times, she loved books, wanted to fit in but wasn't willing to sacrifice her beliefs for it, and she understood that people being different from her didn't make them "bad" people. Just have to show people kindness to see what's beneath the surface.
1. I prefer Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre to Disney's Fairy Tale/Princess franchise.
2. However if I were to choose a Disney Princess as my favorite it would be Briar Rose/Aura aka Sleeping Beauty. She's only a sleep for a few minutes in the movie and her man, Prince Phillip, is the best developed, heroic, and just awesome of all the Disney "Princes".
3. Insodently why don't the leading men get any love? Both Snow White & Cinderella's Prince Charmings are just trophy husbands, they get no development or characterization. (Disney animated versions, live action films treat the characters better.)
4. Barbie as Rapunzel is better than Disney's Tangled. Just throwing that out there.
5. Incredibles 2 was a much better family film as it presented the film as on ensemble cast where as the first film was all about Mr. Incredible and his struggle with the other family members existing to service his arc and be window dressing. (that is a knock on the first film but I do think that adult focus and tone is a big reason it isn't as enjoyable for younger audiences as the 2nd.)
I loved Incredibles 2 tbh. They did it REALLY well. The reasoning for Elastigirl to be chosen made LOGICAL sense. The themes also of family, supporting your spouse, that jealousy is normal and it's important to work it out are important. There were a lot of messages form BOTH sides of the isle which made it balanced and feel organic.
Woowww, book shade, you uncultured swine.
Oh god, don't get me started on people thinking seeing a gay character is going to make their kids gay. I had a pretty big argument with someone about this because of the Last of Us 2 trailer (which isn't even remotely targeted at kids) so I can only imagine the sheer ignorance that's going to sprout once it starts trickling down more regularly into media for kids/adolescents.
I would have seen Toy Story 3 no matter what, but the fact that it really seemed to line up with where I was in life definitely made the larger impact, a larger impact than the second Incredibles did, for example.
Triggered.
Amanda the Jedi I give u an A+ in the grammar portion
It's not that they think itll make them gay, they just dont want their kids exposed to that sort of stuff at a young age. I agree TLOUP2 is a mature rated game, but alot of people were uncomfortable when that scene happened. They should of instead kept it in the game and not show it during e3.
So people were fine with kids seeing the scenes of someone being disemboweled and Ellie slashing out throats? The game isn't for kids, but neither were a large portion of the games demo'd at E3. That argument against the kiss, in my opinion, is super weak. There's literally nothing different in that kiss than if the girl had kissed the guy Ellie is talking to instead. I think the trailer was edited together beautifully to both show off the gameplay, but also display the contrast between the life they've all been able to build in the wake of the disaster and regaining some sense of normalcy, while acknowledging that just outside the walls is a wasteland of terror. Should we start censoring movie trailers as well?
And yes, the argument I was having with someone was 100% because he thought it was going to make kids gay.
People being uncomfortable is exactly why it's important to have more gay characters present in media.
Here’s the thing tho, gay people exist, so why shouldn’t their story be told?
In the case of tlou it’s just showing that you’ll still find someone to love no matter how dire the situation. This is not about Ellie’s sexuality, but if you’re a bigoted person, ironically, you’ll give her sexuality a bigger role than it actually has...(I wasn’t bothered by the romantic tones in the UC series, nor am I afraid that it’ll turn my kids straight, it’s just good writing)
Your channel is my hands down favorite for movie analysis and concept breakdowns. I LOVE your work and keep it up!
Yeaaahh, I thought Elastigirl was written better in the original "Incredibles" than she was is the sequel. Somehow she seemed too perfect and chill in the sequel.
If anyone tries to claim that I didn't like "Incredibles 2" because it had the female being all heroic and whatever, I will have to beat them to death with a DVD of "My Little Pony: The Movie."
I actually liked the incredible 2! I thought it had many good messages.
I think movies do have a powerful influence whether we realize it or not. It is a great way to get a message across and it
provides entertainment not only for kids but for adults too! (Especially in the case of Pixar) However, there really is a fine line when it comes to the influence. I personally hate when people hijack a story, movie or TV show just to "Make a bold political statement" rather than tell a good story. The love of a story and characters are what should bring the audience together. (Not what skin color the character has.) It has been said that the art of cinema has been lost, it use to be about the art of visual storytelling before anything else. These days there are hardly any more original ideas. It's all about money and political agendas. I suppose that artists have always had interesting ways of showing their critiques on culture, politics and society and I think that's a good thing, but it's gone overboard.
Also, perhaps that lady was just an ignorant racist by "assuming" that you were bad because you are Hispanic. If that is the case, she was very wrong to act that way toward you. Still, I've always found that it's best not to assume what other people are thinking or feeling without knowing the motive. Her actions did seem to point to the possibility of racism. Still, you made the assumption that she watches Roseanne? so by that same logic, you are saying that people who watch that show must all be a bunch of racists? correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounded just a little hypocrical to me.
THANK YOU for the comment about Rey. I was always a huge star wars fan but seeing a super amazing female character like Rey made me so happy. Lea is amazing and Padme has her moments, but Rey is the real badass of this generation
Some really strong accusations, sounds like you’re claiming any movie with a message is not only 100% intentional, but the reason why the movie was made in the first place. Like every single movie is propaganda to its core. Like, slow down, man, sounds like you’re about to make a video how fluoride is controlling our minds.
Nah.
Just saying every movie has influence, even those that are dumb.
2:21 when video editing on point with the jokes. GOLD!
Audiences love gotti!!
Thank you so much for this! I swear most (if not all) of your videos bring up things that most people like to sweep under the rug!
Tbf there's an argument that some of the older princesses taught moral lessons about patience and kindness, but I see your point and also like, screw that I want my princess to kick butt
I cannot wait for a Romanian main character in a blockbuster movie. Call me when the day comes, IF the day comes.
Honestly, I didn’t even catch on to the “strong female lead” thing. I don’t think anyone would unless they’re some anti-everything Mark Dice type of person. 🤷🏽♂️
Aaron P. Some men are so insecure that the mere depiction of a woman as more than a walking uterus is « SJW pRoPaganDa » to them:
Eli N.S lol right
Can i just say that i love the way you explain and talk about things and hit every point of view, like you're truly incredible! Thank you for your content!
This video gives great insight to who you are and how aware you are. NOT EVERYTHING CAN INFLUENCE YOU BUT EVERYTHING IS MEANT TO INFLUENCE YOU!
Your scripts are always written so wonderfully!
Minnesotan here. Idk what that lady's deal was. As the American version of Canada, we pride ourselves on our hospitality. You're always welcome in the gas stations by my place :D
3:01 the reality of his last sentence hit him hard
I think many people forget that there’s more credit than we give sleeping beauty. She falls in love with the prince, and then is told she can’t be with him because she’s a princess. We over look the fact that she still went home to fulfill her role as a monarchy, she put her people before her self. And the idea that she is asleep is also overlooked as a nap, less than her being in a enchanted comma. If a girl wants to be like sleeping beauty (Aurora), by putting others before her feelings and emotions, I’m all for them.
This video is amazing, and pretty much explained the most important media literacy lesson that exists in perfect words.
Thanks!

Top 5 Pixar films?

1. Finding Nemo
2. Monsters, Inc.
3. Ratatouille
4. Inside Out
5. Toy Story
Prussian Eagle...No....Cory in the House, That’s so Raven, Suite Life of Zack and Cody...that’s anime..
VB MUTT the fact that you have inside out before toy story...
This is a personal list and Inside Out had me teary eyed, Toy Story didn’t..
You got #1 correct, congrats!
For real though Finding Nemo is the best
You have my ever lasting respect for putting Nemo at #1
Man, you are always creating the best content. I pretty much like every video you put out.
people said the same thing when it came to diversifying barbie dolls, I personally loved my brunette barbie more than any of my blonde ones, just because it felt like it was me. I’m half latina myself and absolutely loved coco in every way and was waiting for disney to finally have some representation
Cool vid mate I love opinions communicated in a friendly manor without hate towards anyone because they have deferring opinions.
Bruh I need to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Movies are the most effective way to cause change on a wide scale, but it doesn’t work when you’re heavy handed w it, cuz people don’t wanna know they’re being influenced, right? I think a lot of the new filmmakers have the right idea though, v excited for the future of movies!
They are!
You dropped a Dora the Explorer reference in this. Nice!
One thing you didn't mention is that while Pixar films do generally come up in political discussions, the ones that get the most attention are, without a doubt, the Brad Bird movies. Incredibles 1 and 2, and also Ratatouille. The reason for this is probably because Bird has a very definable worldview that he puts into every one of his films. It's a unique mark of the director, which a lot of Pixar films don't have. Even the best ones, you'd have a hard time remembering who directed them.
"I'm not even as dark as my tio Juan" best line ever 😂
FLAWLESS first 20 seconds!
The main problem for me is that in the first one she hated the "superhero stuff". She thought her family was more important. Then in the sequel (without any time jump), she suddenly enjoys it so much that she barely comes back to her home.
If that was a character arc then great. But it just felt very rushed to me.
To be fair I didn’t see an agenda in incredible 2 when Helen got selected to be the hero on the job. Her power wasn’t as destructive as Bob’s. Hence why. Plus we got to see Bob grow as a legit parent here.
"I think everything's political. The only time it stands out is when you don't agree with it."
Been trying to explain this to peeps ever since they started complaining about Solo being too political. A few folks even tried to claim that it's only been in the recent movies that Star Wars have been shoving politics down our throats. Had to point out that the very first movie was about an all controlling government trying to hunt down and destroy anyone who tries to act against it, and the few rebels trying to stop it.
I read books more then I watch movies.
Also, even the afterlife had borders.
Legit main line of reasoning as to why I wid ever get into the industry. Influence the kids. visibility. Also tireda mad movies making live action non-white actors green purple n blue etc... like overwhelmingly so, the stats r there..
Anyway dude, nicely done!
Ok so watching the newest Power Rangers (2016) without any context of how the tv series was and no good expectations, I have to say it's pretty great. Its a pure story about how genuine friendships form and how to deal with difficult problems even when you're scared. All without being too preachy. I would like my kid to watch this movie because I think the impact would be great. :)
I liked how not everything was left, not everything was right, and some political things were a mix in Incredibles 2. Just like in real life, there's contradictions in views.
Growing up I always wished I was someone else. I wish my hair was straight and my skin was lighter. I saw Coco and it just struck something in me. Now I listen to all the Spanish music by mom blasted as a kid on a daily. I'm proud of where I'm from. I'm proud to have big curly hair. I love my tan skin. Coco really is a great movie man
You the realest and i've been having the same argument for years, glad im not alone
Phantom Dream Fall alt-right alt-left two sides of the same coin
This video was great! You just earned yourself a subscriber :)
Movies do not leave an impact anymore. I'm 25 and have felt that way since I was a kid. I've been watching these movies like you but the thing is we forget about them as much as we bitch about them. Music and video games are true mediums for manipulation. The repetitive nature of modern music and games leaves more of an impact, especially when you sink thousands of hours into them, unlike sinking 2 hours into a movie.
Awesome video, wished it was longer, nice job.
“The only time it [being political] stands out is when you don’t agree with it” That’s such an accurate quote that I wish the people who say shit like “keep politics out of my video games/movies!” would keep in mind.
Hey I already spotted another book lover in here. Lets try to keep the shade to a minimum eh? I don't know if you ever take requests, cause I know you lay awake at night hoping your fans will tell you what to do, but I think it would be amazing to see a top 5 best ( or worst) film techniques aside from just hiring famous people or hiring John Williams/Hans Zimmer to do the soundtrack. Just a thought; great video as always.
My goodness. Honestly man you are opening many peoples eyes with your videos. Keep it up man ❤️blessings
Appreciate it Cruz!
this guy always knows how to get the point across
Yo this was dope. Loved the analysis!
Dude. Yes! Thank you for thinking.
100%. Our media shapes us, whether we're aware of it or not. Always has.
I love your videos!! keep up the great work!
You need to do a review or reaction or some kind of video on NF!!! The rapper is so interesting and has such a unique stance in the rap game. He is a Christian but he focuses on making his art GREAT instead of just making it christian. Not that Christian rap is bad, but sometimes it can be Christian for the sake of being Christian and the artist doesn’t do anything to improve their craft.
