You have to start from Screen Rant's version first then. He came far and now managed to own this Pitch Meeting and its own channel for the whole series!
In Divergent, people play a video game at age 16 to do a little magazine personality quiz that tells them what cult to hang out with for the rest of their lives: choices are Hippie, Fraternity, Laws?, Amish, and Supervillain. Because all the nerds are in Supervillain, frat bros punching nerds is unquestionably morally correct. No one knows how to repair buildings but neuroscience has advanced to the point that Scarecrow's fear toxin is mass-distributed for basically recreational purposes. Also for some reason guns are wildly unpredictable the closer two combatants are to each other.
"And that's going to break the curse." "I thought it was a serum" "I don't care." That had me in stitches. I was literally thinking "how does that stop the serum?"
The books are supposed to be a general reflection on the interconnection of evil and its solution. Tris isn't actually special, she is biologically a normal girl. (To us.) Divergence is actually regular brain chemistry. The "regular" population of the series had their D.N.A. altered so that they had a proclivity towards ONE type of solution to life's problems. The serum can suspend upper level mental functions because Dauntless minds all share the same mental architecture. Tris uses chemical love as a way to rewire Four's mental architecture so that the serum no longer works. Also, it's a Y.A. novel.
@@VitaminCBable "Tris uses chemical love as a way to rewire Four's mental architecture so that the serum no longer works" Telling someone you love them doesn't change the chemicals in THEIR brains! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA If he already loved her, then his brain would already have changed. She telling HIM that SHE loves him, wouldn't change HIS brain "architecture". You should have started and stopped at " it's a Y.A. novel".
@@92brunodyes that’s the unrealistic part, not the original “they rewired everyone’s brains to work differently” thing. It’s fiction, not science fiction. The goal is to tell a story, not create a realistic alternate reality. The explanation provided above at least keeps the internal logic of the story consistent, so that’s enough of an explanation for the story to function.
@92brunod it's quite difficult to prove that there is no chemical change within another person due to experience- but that's not the argument I was making. Mental architecture is the process through which a brain experiences and builds itself to accommodate the world around us. Theoretically, the technology in Divergent COULD exist as long as we could map predictable routes within the human mind. (Serums) Rereading my comment, I can understand why you seem confused. The study of the development of the human mind is quite complex, to say the least.
@@writingafrica "Who's On First?" from Abbot and Costello came way before, but I doubt they were even referencing it in Rush Hour, because it's a joke that comes naturally to people about miscommunication.

Thanks for the recommendation, I just watched Damsel and it really screams for a Pitch Meeting. Although it is an enjoyable movie it has such a bad twist(s).
@@ember13dpNope they decided to split the third book into two movies as was the trend back then but the third movie was so badly received they never made the second part.

I figured it was a meta-next-level joke because this movie is so obviously derivative that he wanted to have an obviously derivative joke in it that's been done to death, with zero orginanity. Edit- I just got a message from Ryan George, he wants to be best friends because I'm the only person who really gets his humor.
@@dmochat I agree with @bravetherainbow. He didn't look into the camera because he was blinking as he said, "That went well." You can play it back in slow motion. I did.
About Tris breaking the curse. I haven't read the books so what I took from that scene was that Four thought he was in simulation, he mentions how he has to look away when he kills an inoccent girl during the test. When they were in simulation instead of a random girl he for a moment sees Tris. So, when she puts a gun to herself and Four starts to look away she forces him to look at her, tells him she loves him and touches his face the same way she did during the kiss, so he realises its reality. I remember it so vividly because I genuinly thought it was very clever how they executed it.
"Who's on first?" "Four is." "For what?" "No, not for something, just Four." "Four people?" "No, just one Four." "One for whom?" "One is for Four." "Then who's on second?" "Eric." "...Okay, that makes sense."
That “The serum works in different ways” made me laugh hard! 😂 I feel like the Divergent series had a lot of interesting ideas, but most of them were poorly fleshed out. TBH, the tests and the mind control were the most unique parts of it, in addition to the factions. It would have been so cool if we had a greater sense of the identity of each group and how each group feels about each other. But hey, it was a movie. It movied.
And how absolutely dumb is mind control serum that's voice controlled! If anyone's voice can activate the serum without the computer, then a single person crying, "Stop, don't shoot!" would have stopped the serummed Dauntless army.
The existence of a Divergent Pitch Meeting implies a future PM for Allegiant. If that happens, I’m sure Ryan would be the first person to have ever actually *watched* Allegiant! Also, can you believe Divergent came out 10 years ago this month? Wow, I’m old.
You realize that's just a direct copy of famous old Vaudeville routine that's been going around for over a century, right? Well done homage but I wouldn't give him too high credit for it.
You would expect Dauntless numbers to be much smaller than the others, due to the higher chance of injury when falling off buildings, compared to admin work or farming. But I guess that is barely an inconvinience.
Farming is usually the second or third most dangerous job in America, behind only pilots/navigators and occasionally truck drivers when looking at deaths per 100,000 workers...the only sector of the economy more fatal to work in statistically than agriculture is mining.
Smaller numbers? Think on this: "In the most irresponsible age in your life you have to choose to belong to the nerds, the simps, the backbreaking laborers, or the super cool guys! And this is forever, no backsies!". It's a miracle this society is not 100% cops.
That bit about the age difference was hilarious "So that's kinda wrong." "Not in this fictional world, it's not." "...why did you write this?" Me in every weird anime I watched where it has that weird trope of making characters that look like children a thousand years old
Because the Japanese don't even pretend, past the point of meeting legal obligations. Why do you think that they started making them "fictional thousand year old characters" in the first place? Because they aren't technically minors then. Since they only passed those laws recently. And I am pretty certain you get a lot more people like that in the US and Europe than ever admit it. Strangely enough. I can't imagine why anyone would lie about something like that.
The commentary for this movie makes it a lot better. The director talks about using lots of reflections to tie into the theme of figuring out who you are and stuff

Ryan! I trusted you and almost passed out from not breathing at the end! But it turns out that breathing out without being told is actually super easy, only slightly an inconvenience so I'm okay.
I forgot that I actually saw this movie until they reached the Fear Landscape. But I had no clue how it continued or ended. It left such a deep impression on me.
Thank you for making outros long enough that I can consider the suggested videos, and tap on them if I want, before RUclips says “NOPE HAD YOUR CHANCE”
Kind words - absolutely love the channel and your non-PM work. Question - My absolute favourite PM is 'The Ultimate Twilight Saga' and it is super hard, definitely not convenient to pick just one. Do you have any plans to do a PM:Revisited for it as a whole or do you feel you would need to do each one in turn? Thank you - keep up the brilliant work!
Okay it's hard to find faults in the pitch meetings, but the reason why the tests take place was explained in the movies as well, it's so that the characters know what they are good at - it's similar to an aptitutude test before choosing your career, you know your strengths but you may follow something you are genuinely interested about, or are responsbible for following, regardless of the test results.
Unfortunately Ryan seems to be getting more and more bits from Cinena Sins which are mostly explained by paying attention or accepting basic editing and storytelling conventions.
Which doesn't negate the logic behind sneaking her out the back door...if the test is just an aptitude test, and she still gets to choose her path, who really cares about her results aside from her?
@@nickmonks9563 It's because in this dystopian world, being a divergent is basically a crime, because they are treated as dangerous people owing to their potential. It was explained in the movie as well
@@np9145 Divergent individuals are dangerous to the faction society because a Divergent mind can mentally control a simulation and therefore break free from the limitations of the factions. They are a threat to existing authority basically.
1:12 I think this might (and it's a very big might) be the one place where the movie makes sense. The faction test is merely a strong suggestion, not a decree, and your placement is where they think you'll most likely succeed in training.
The planned sequel was called “Not Urgent”. Upon reading the title, all the producers put it aside and buried it under whatever, like the script for Sharknado 8 or something.
I love the moments where writer guy actually realizes that he's written something incoherent. "Cause it works...somet--it works in different ways!" So damn funny!
Watching Ryan with my morning cuppa and I was all in for the quick medication. Took the deep breath in and then burst out in laughter. His writing is only partially his genius, dude emotes perfectly!
Grats on the homage to "Who's on First." Well done, even if it's just you vs. well, you. Still took a lot of work to script that out and get the timing and beat down correctly between 2 versions of yourself. :)
Ryan, should you read this: Have you considered making a pitch meeting for Avatar (the good one, by which I mean the cartoon)? If you do one per season it should work out.
I legit forgot that Divergent wasn't Maze Runner til about 3/4 of the way through this Pitch Meeting
Oh gawd, that's right - lol. They all sorta blended together.
I just learned this from this Pitch Meeting.
I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂

"Why you'd write this?" I felt that. I can't wait for the saga!

Thank you Abbott and Costello for inspiring Pitch meeting with their own list of pitchers.
Watching Pitch Meeting instead of working is TIGHT
Divergent was so forgettable, I'd forgotten almost everything about it except that Janine was Rose and she should have let Jack up on the door next to her.
I've never even heard of this lol
All I remember was the dickhead trainer and how they all had to go to the bathroom together because there were no walls around the toilets.
THERE WAS ENOUGH SPACE ON THE DOOR, ROSE!
Theo James and shailene ❤oodley were magical!!
@@dougsmith6262 sure there was enough space the thing is when he tried to get on the god forsaken door it sank. It's about buoyancy people get over it 😅😭 (I've seen this movie once when I was 7)
Ryan! I trusted you and almost passed out from not breathing at the end! But it turns out that breathing out without being told is actually super easy, only slightly an inconvenience so I'm okay.
Thank you for the breathing exercise at the end, it was really helpful. I absolutely did not check the runtime before commiting! Nope, never did that.
I forgot that I actually saw this movie until they reached the Fear Landscape. But I had no clue how it continued or ended. It left such a deep impression on me.
Please, Ryan, do a JUPITER ASCENDING pitch meeting !
And a District 9!
And "The Creator" too!
Do ALL THE MOVIES!!!!!!
Oh hells yeah
And Valeryian!!
The “Who’s on first” bit about Four had me dying
Four whats?
Thank you for making outros long enough that I can consider the suggested videos, and tap on them if I want, before RUclips says “NOPE HAD YOUR CHANCE”
Kind words - absolutely love the channel and your non-PM work.
Question - My absolute favourite PM is 'The Ultimate Twilight Saga' and it is super hard, definitely not convenient to pick just one. Do you have any plans to do a PM:Revisited for it as a whole or do you feel you would need to do each one in turn?
Thank you - keep up the brilliant work!
Abott and Costello's "Who's on First?" and a darn fine job it was.
The delivery of "it works in different ways" is actually killing me
help
I've got a thumbs up. Does that help?
@@lisaroper421 Now you've brought me back to watch it again, I am not okay
@@hulkaiden6178 Press stop!! You can do it!
Okay it's hard to find faults in the pitch meetings, but the reason why the tests take place was explained in the movies as well, it's so that the characters know what they are good at - it's similar to an aptitutude test before choosing your career, you know your strengths but you may follow something you are genuinely interested about, or are responsbible for following, regardless of the test results.
Unfortunately Ryan seems to be getting more and more bits from Cinena Sins which are mostly explained by paying attention or accepting basic editing and storytelling conventions.
Which doesn't negate the logic behind sneaking her out the back door...if the test is just an aptitude test, and she still gets to choose her path, who really cares about her results aside from her?
@@nickmonks9563 It's because in this dystopian world, being a divergent is basically a crime, because they are treated as dangerous people owing to their potential. It was explained in the movie as well
@@forhax4794but why?
The only bad guys are the one faction who want to take over the government.
Why is being divergent a bad thing in this world?
@@np9145 Divergent individuals are dangerous to the faction society because a Divergent mind can mentally control a simulation and therefore break free from the limitations of the factions. They are a threat to existing authority basically.
👏 That Abbot and Costello "whose on first?" Routine with four/for was terrific!
1:12 I think this might (and it's a very big might) be the one place where the movie makes sense. The faction test is merely a strong suggestion, not a decree, and your placement is where they think you'll most likely succeed in training.
Why have you chose a faction you don’t have the personality for? Sounds like you’re just being set up for failure
I took a deep breath in and passed out for 24 hours. When I came to, I heard Ryan say "Breathe Out".
I love whenever you do a who's on first style joke. Always gets me
Divergent, Insurgent & Allegiant. I watched all of them & just now understood the concept. If they make another one, I hope it'll be called Detergent
The planned sequel was called “Not Urgent”. Upon reading the title, all the producers put it aside and buried it under whatever, like the script for Sharknado 8 or something.
It was going to be called Resurgent, but then they noticed they were about to spell out DIARRHEA, so they canceled the series.
Deterrent more likely.
That For/Four skit was great - must have been complicated to make, but keep it up! :)
"Get a load of this sir...JANINE." Almost choked on my lunch.
The "Four" bit was a nice touch from Abbott & Costello
The segment ”…cause it works in different ways” was spot on! 😂👌🏻
You should most definitely do Starship Troopers, because y'know, why not.
Seconded. That movie is perfect for the pitch meeting treatment. Nazi uniforms are TIGHT!
"Isn't this a book adaptation?"
"Yes."
"Is that in the book?"
"I didn't read the book."
“Hey, shut up” kills me every time!🤣
The “yes!” at 3:23 😂😂😂
Love this channel, in just under one hour I can watch several movies, and it’s all free. Thanks pitch meeting guy!
I love the moments where writer guy actually realizes that he's written something incoherent.
"Cause it works...somet--it works in different ways!" So damn funny!
I always love the "who's on first jokes." Enjoying them is super easy barely an inconvenience.
That Abbott and Costello bit was GOLD.
Who’s on 1st?
@@annierebeccaa
That's the man's name!
@@Za_Lup Who?
@@themr_wilson Yes!
Watching Ryan with my morning cuppa and I was all in for the quick medication. Took the deep breath in and then burst out in laughter. His writing is only partially his genius, dude emotes perfectly!
The Who's on First bit was perfect.
I can't wait for you to cover the entire Divergent series. Just every single movie, especially the final one
BRO if he did an entire pitch meeting for the last one and then producer guy was just like "nah" LMAO
They never made the final one :P
@@rickstaismYou found the joke then!
@@floodlitworld'So you've got a movie for me?'
'No'.
I thought this was the final one.
Great 'Who's on First' bit with the four
Screenwriter guy: I have this movie about dogs for you!
Producer guy: bow wow wow.
Wow
😂
I laughed way too hard at this. Nailed the format perfectly. 👌
Brilliant!
That Abbott and Costello bit was feckin tight!
2:24 that hand wave and "gross" hahahaha
Holy christ the "four" bit was hysterical. Damn I love you my man😅
Who's On First
Been waiting for you to tackle this series!
You pulled off a successful "Who's on First?" reference, that's tight!
Grats on the homage to "Who's on First." Well done, even if it's just you vs. well, you. Still took a lot of work to script that out and get the timing and beat down correctly between 2 versions of yourself. :)
That outtro. Made me wanna re-like. Love the work mate. Bravo
Glad to see the return of "all the way off my back".
yeah yeah yeah!
Ryan, should you read this: Have you considered making a pitch meeting for Avatar (the good one, by which I mean the cartoon)? If you do one per season it should work out.
Riding trains into sequels is tight!
Good job on the variation on 'whos on first', that was very well done.
Thank you, Ryan George, I did enjoy the video. YA novels are a gold mine for Pitch Meetings.
