I hate that Cheetah's "evil" moment (where you're supposed to be like "oh shit she's evil now") is beating up someone sexually harassing her.
Yup, and how wonder woman had a romantic night with Chris Pine, which actually translates to how she pretty raped the guy Chris pine was possessing. This movie has some really fucked up values
Thank you! I’m astonished more people don’t harp on this.
The movie goes out of its way to emphasize it’s the same guy and not a look-alike (hell, he even attacks her again), yet I’m supposed to find her kicking his ass… discomforting?
I was more concerned about her getting her clothes dirty with his blood than I was for his well-being.
She straight up killed him, she didn’t stop
I don’t think at that point you think she’s evil. You more start to see how she’s changed from who she was before and how she’s getting more confident with herself and her powers to be able to stand up for herself. It’s then it starts to go to her head after seeing what she could do to somebody who she couldn’t defend herself from before
If they want her to be evil, take a man bumping into her and have her think he’s a pig or something and attack. Not beat the shit out of a man that tried to sexually harass.
the cut of gal gadot singing "there's no heaven" really resonated with me
I love that song, why did they ruin it?
Her singing just proves the line true.

Happy you're back!
I figured you’d hang out around here 😃
Loved your game of thrones video 😂😂😂
Hopefully we’ll see another IHE video by the end of 2023.
Elvis mah boy
Are you really an alien?
The bit where you listed WW's characteristics with images and just paused for the invisible jet was a great gag that got me good
Funniest part of the video.
@Logan Roof News ???
Um, timestamp?
@klegthak they're the same trolls who said Jacksepticeye's dad deserved to die. They're pathetic am i right?
"Truth Whip... Invisible Jet..."
I love how realistic you made the invisible jet. It's like I was really there to see it.
Beautiful editing
I did that thing "read as he said it".
Well, we didn't see it. So yeah.
Invisible alright
Steve's soul possessing a random innocent man has pretty disturbing implications. Diana's been kissing some unconscious dude. Oof.
Not just kissing....
The fix was also so easy, like just make him appear as himself by magic
You're absolutely right about the shortcut in life thing. Wonder Woman uses her intelligence and thinks on her feet to come up with a solution and she's scorned for it. Her only other alternative was to completely give up, but if she did that, she would probably be accused for not thinking on her feet.
I just don't like warner bros again coming from a DC fan bro we struggling out here
"Christen Wig is Cheetah, because ya know, she's a cheater"
OH HOLY FUCK, That point in the movie was so on the nose it flew over my head all these years.
My god what a new level of bad, I couldn't help but facepalm when IHE put those points together for me.
Go away, samuel
@@samuelthehobo4441 Don't act like you care Samuel
You mean Kristen Wiig?
To be fair, all the other 'messages' in the film are so blatant, with minutes on end of dialogue about "truth and honesty", that it's weird that they just let that one lie. I was fully expecting a 5 minute conversation of "you may be a cheetah, but I'm no cheater, I fight for truth and honestly and hope and blah blah blah"
They throw up such a smokescreen of bullshit when it comes to messaging that it's hard to tell if they actually meant that as a point or just used Cheetah because "it in comics, fans like it".
I dunno, that is a bit lost in translation when cheetahs and "to cheat" are said differently in other languages.
I think it's more of a coincidence.
The worst part about WW84 is that during the final speech, 'Beautiful Lie' plays. If it sounded familiar to anybody, it's (one of) Batman's theme in Batman v Superman. The Beautiful Lie told is something that Bruce talks about - 'the light', the lie we all tell ourselves to keep us from realising the horror of the world. It represents him at his murderous depths, the worst point of his life. It wasn't included in Justice League because that version of the character, represented by that song, has been uplifted and made honourable again. Using it in an inspirational speech is the absolute *worst* idea I could possibly imagine and makes the scene so hilarious to me.
And we know exactly why it was picked. Because it's a familiar song as far as they were concerned! Just goes to show they really really didn't care and well I Hate Everything said it best it was made simply because sequel we got to keep people's minds completely on this film otherwise they might move on... It only succeeded in making them move on even more you know when you see something that looks potentially good and then they fuck up the landing because they were so scared you lose attention that the only succeeded in fulfilling that self-fulfilling prophecy! I mean that's not among the many bad ideas they copied let's not forget the fact that cheetah origin story is carbon copy of Electro from Amazing Spider-Man 2! Dear God of all the movies they could have chosen to copy. They had the copy that movie from the unnecessary long watch time, to the very poor plot points no, from the annoying fanservice for the sake of fanservice the only had those who saw Batman v Superman wondering where some of that stuff was that's used in this movie. To finally taking what was an already okay origin for the villain from the comic books and I'm starting to think the nerdy loser to Psychopathic supervillain origin and this movie and the other one is just them trying to do what they did for killmonger in Black Panther where they changed his Origins to pretty much being black panthers cousin and push the whole evil counterpart point to the point he's not even recognizable to his comic book counterpart. Not that in that case was a bad thing is just it's just hilarious watching them try to copy what was done effectively well as I was kind of okay with that changeup with killmonger because he was a lot more interesting and less a ripoff of Bane from the Batman comics. Do I could have done with a lot less preaching, at least I could take it as just there to show how much of a hypocrite he is. I think many of your got even worse because I don't even think the wish made any damn sense on turning her into a cheetah! Honestly the movie should have been all about her and Max Lord never should have been in the movie to begin with! Because my favorite boy just keep getting the whip cracked at him because idiot writers need an evil white egotistical male villain because it's politically correct! I mean when they did in the comics changing his character into a villain that was just laziness and no idea what to do with his character so let's just destroy any potential of his type of character by making his villainous action irredeemable and then refrigerate him for the sake of needless Wonder Woman development and oh yeah before we do that let's show how evil he is by having him kill off Blue Beetle so then we can replace him with a kid minority who's pretty much what would happen if you mix Iron Man with Venom!
@@paulman34340 I'm going to be honest, I'm not going to read 500 words, especially without formatting.
But yes, I expect the choice was made in the editing room. Despite Zimmer being the composer for both films I doubt he would have chosen it.
Despite me also saying I wasn't going to read it, I saw 'white' and Max Lord in the same sentence and laughed. Pedro Pascal isn't white, stop trying to look for an evil white man narrative where it doesn't exist.
@@squirrel9544 then I apologize all that was made on my phone mike! I'm currently away from my computer and while I just had to make a reply I apologize for making as long as hell! When I rant, I can rant and it's usually when I'm on my laptop, I'm better at typing then texting. Again sorry
Who fucking came up with that? You're telling me Turkish Airlines approved of this mind control hoo-ha?
@@squirrel9544 Ah yes, we here commenters on RUclips only write paragraphs in proper MLA format and cite our sources-
What we think of as "80s iconography" has become pretty warped at this point. Palm trees and synthesisers were both very much present back then but how they were used in, say, Miami Vice or the music video for Rio by Duran Duran is very different to the modern vaporwave aesthetic. Also there wasn't nearly as much magenta - I think you can blame that on Hotline Miami.
i would say Vice City but it honestly kinda kept the setting realistic
Hotline Miami was mostly set in late 80s to early 90s and went for more of a modern-retro style especially with the music, but yeah a lot of people think of something like HM when thinking of the 80s which isn't the best example
In reality, the 80s were actually very brown.
@@jaydenmclean8786 It was, for sure. A great deal of the 70s was left over until the mid 80s. Wood paneling was still very much in fashion.
The essence of nostalgia is that it's idealized. The people trying to sell the '80s now either don't actually remember it ... or are kidding themselves.
The way he said “I’ll die before I watch this movie again,” was perfect.
Are you going to do all the shows too for 2021? If you start now it might be ready for 2023!
How about you go and make me one of those WatchMojo lists you like to do.
@@appelsien3775 The one list a year I do, except I don't even do that anymore and instead do a parody Awards Show every year? Sounds good man. Not sure why you're being passively aggressive to me, assuming it's because you watched a video of mine you didn't like and so for some reason you feel I've now "wronged" you by... making you click on a RUclips video? But I don't hate you. Take it easy pal.

Jokes aside though, I’m glad you’re back with a new video. Hope your mental has been doing alright this past year!
Yeah I hope he’s doing better
ruclips.net/video/1bdF5iUfKrs/видео.html
Lol, is one year too long of a wait for you, cry baby?
@@Lovicide ??? I’ve been following him for years, I’m not mad at all. I know how long these videos take to make, I wasn’t expecting it to be out a week into 2021. Just poking fun a bit.
this was delayed yes, but regardless he has to wait until the end of the year for these films, watch everything that came out in that year, review it and decide where it falls overall then he has to write a script, record footage and make the actual video this takes 100's of hours.
Give the guy respect he works so hard to make these videos for us.
@@Lovicide I mean, IHE has pretty much stopped doing videos without any explanation. It's ok for people to point that out.
Cyborg having that peaceful smile of content as he goes “Suck it bitches” feels like something should have set the Internet on fire. I love it SO much, the hardest I laughed this whole video! 29:02
I feel like with any other character it would have been great. But Cyborg has a catchphrase and him not using it in his final moments felt really weird and just edgy
It looked meme worthy.
22:22 First suicide squad made a lot of money because it was made for edgy kids who wanna feel grown up and who think this is what cool is. Lots of edgy characters, cool music etc. Every cosplay convention had lots of harley quinns and Jared Jokers. They were even painting the pubs with graffities of Jared Joker and Harley. There I realized, this movie had style. It was stupid, it was bad, but it had a style. And that's all preteens / teens need. Imagine being 13 and you haven't seen an actual good film yet because you weren't old enough. This movie was for kids, who wanna act like adults.
I just saw it because I love Harley tbh. It's definitely a guilty pleasure for me
I saw it as a kid and it was still the worst thing I’ve ever seen
No it made a lot of money because it was heavily marketed.
It sold well because it was marketed as being a film similar to Deadpool. People only watched because they had high expectations.
Yeah plus all the original music produced for it as well
The Superman: Red Son comic is actually way better than the movie, and it’s not just because of the art. The movie made a lot of very typical, Hollywood changes to the plot (despite being direct-to-dvd) by making it a lot more generic, like some of the morally grey aspects of the story were removed to have a more traditional good guy-bad guy dynamic between Lex and Superman. In fact the comic, even though it’s an Elseworlds tale, is often regarded as one of the best Superman stories. Honestly you would be better off just watching the motion comic, which is on youtube by the way.
DC superhero animated movies is the most overrated shit out there. I see so many people praising those movies, but they just look terrible to. Ugly and uninspiring.
@@meurer13daniel yeah they fell off a long time ago
Only one I liked was where Superman was framed for murder
@@meurer13daniel The Batman shit tends to be better than the others, mostly because it's more lucrative than other properties. Under the red hood, for example, is really good.
@@Sayajin3321 I'd also take a guess and say it's also because writers have to try harder and be more creative with a character that outsmarts his enemies instead of just immediately punching them.
Superhero movies are like soda brands at this point. They're everywhere, most of them are almost the same, and most people don't actively search for them, but everyone consumes em on some level
Honestly, I didn’t even now most of these existed. 2020 is certainly not a highlight for the genre lol
...high fructose corn syrup addiction
I have been avoiding them since back when Age of Ultron was a thing. I used to read comics as a kid, yet I got burnt out of comic movies fast.
@@caucasoidape8838 Exactly the same for me. Read quite a lot of comics as a kid, quit Marvel/superhero movies with Age of Ultron. I don't think I ever finished that one. Although I did see Shazam with my daughter. In part because the director is swedish and so am I.
Although I don’t watch movies that much anymore, I get what you mean
Bro I cant believe someone else has realized Dark Crystal is one of the best things Netflix ever did. Beyond underrated
i never managed to get more than a couple episodes into it, what was the thing that hooked you?
@@phoebexxlouise I adore Jim Henson productions, and they really went all-out on the Jim Henson-ness for it. In fact thats supposedly why it didnt get another season, it was just so expensive to build all of those practical sets. I hate CG, its ugly and lazy. Classic practical effects just help me get absorbed in a story 10x better
I never saw the original, but the entire Netflix series was an experience. I tried watching the original months later and had to struggle through it.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 There are plenty of CG in Age of Resistance, though. The Skeksis' tongues, the flight scenes, and erasing guide wires. The reason it looks seamless is because it augments the practical effects and puppetry, not replacing it.
@@nightandfayeify Some of the CG was pretty mediocre as well, like all the scenes where they flew were meh. But I accept that as part of living in 2021. I would honestly have preferred goofy-looking puppet flying over CG
Thank you for calling out the Kristen Wiig thing. She's great, obviously, but it does get distracting when some of her roles try their darndest to convince us that her character is this unlovable loser. Like, we have eyes. We can SEE her.
*I SWEAR TO GOD* the word masterpiece is thrown around so much with Superhero Movies.. it can never just be an enjoyable movie - - it’s gotta be “Shang Chi and Eternals is a masterpiece” people need to chill
Is Shang-Chi a masterpiece in terms of being a superhero movie or a martial arts film? Because honestly, I don’t believe in either.
@@kingbash6466 or just as a movie in general
Yeah it is weird that people feel the need to call stuff either a masterpiece or complete garbage, no in between. I wouldn’t call Shang Chi a masterpiece but it’s still fantastic and ridiculously enjoyable, with one of the MCU’s best written villains.
They're the same kind of people who see a decent performance and go "man give that guy an Oscar they deserve it" like bro the oscars are reserved for the best performances of the entire year, not when Tony Stank yelled at captain America in endgame, shut up.
I think the word “trainwreck” also gets thrown around too much.
ATTENTION IHE:
Ben 10 was literally created by the same team that created the DCAU, specifically the Justice League era of that universe, the DC animated stuff doesn't look like Ben 10, Ben 10 looks like the DC animated stuff.
It was their original superhero IP project after doing so much great work adapting the already established property that is DC Comics.
I assumed at the time that DCAU was mainly Bruce Time and whoever else or is that a misconception?
@@jamesstanley792 yes Bruce Timm created the DCAU and later on Dwayne McDuffie who created Ben 10 also worked on the justice league series
Ben 10 was created by Man of Action who were inspired by an obscure comic series called Dial H for Hero.
@@jamesstanley792 Yes, Bruce Timm had the most creative input when it came to the DCAU itself, but the DCAU and Ben 10 still share about 80% of their artists and animators.
@@albedo5455 Man of Action, when founded, was made up of staff that had worked on the DCAU previously.
2020 simultaneously feels like such a short and long time ago.
8:07 you described EXACTLY how I felt watching Diana take the shortcut. The lesson of “taking the shortest path” was already very weakly tied into Diana’s “arc” with her wish, but it further made no sense because she utilized her skills like an AMAZONIAN WARRIOR would. But movie has to have a lesson I guess
Man, just yesterday I was like "I wonder when he'll upload next". Seeing the notification for this video put a smile on my face
i just watched his avatar vid and thougth it was a long time since he had uploaded and then 30 min later he uploads

I checked is channel today like 4 hours ago thinking "huh he must be working on something big" lol guess he was.
Man just earlier today I was rewatching his i hate superhero movies from 2018 and 2019. This was a pleasant surprise
literally same
i hope this doesn't sound like a backhanded compliment but your videos always help me fall asleep. they take my mind off my own things and help me relax. dont get me wrong i watch your videos awake too but i love putting ones ive already watched on to fall asleep too. your deadpan voice is very relaxing. anyways, thanks for entertaining me endlessly and for many nights of good rest!
yeah I used to watch it to sleep all the time as well
Me too!! His videos have this calming atmosphere to them.
aaa he read it!!
WW84 bugged the hell out of me. Like actually kinda made me go "Oh my god what the hell?" cause think about it... they make it clear that Steve Trevor isn't really there and that he's inside someone elses body. Meaning not only was that person being possessed by a ghost, Wonder Woman had sex with their possessed body.
And the relationship is portrayed as tragic and sad, but it was mostly just freakin' weird.
I love how WW 1984 takes up a third of this video despite there being 11 other films in this. Proves how bad it truly was
Wouldn't it be kind of fun to have a Harley Quinn movie where she's unhinged but actually an intelligent psychoanalyst who knows how to mess with people? Like cause psychoanalysis was kind of a big part of her job before the Joker drove her insane?
Naaaaah mate we gotta have trailer trash lol random edgy haha 35 year old dressing like she's 15 quippy 'independent' woman who don need no joker stereotypical crazy airhead with daddy issues that the target audience can insert themselves onto. Nope. What did you expect them to go with injustice 2 Harley? Nah that'd take effort and integrity. And reading the source material. Effort is haaaard.
Personally no. I’m not a big comic person so maybe it’s just something you get used to, but I don’t like the constant re use re hash and RE everything of characters. I do not think Harley works in nigh any of the contexts she gets rewritten into.
Batman The animated series had a heavy emphasis on mental illness that things like that don’t and without that Harley rings hollow.
Honestly maybe I need to watch more show and animated movies with her in them, because at most I haven’t exactly seen her as much of a villain when it comes to media because all I have are just the DCU movies and that one movie where Harley, Batman, and Nightwing try to stop Ivey from fucking up the earth. Like I don’t see quite too much of the villain size of her, just the post Harley in SQ and that movie sucked. I didn’t even finish the second one yet tho ngl. The most evil version of her I have seen is in the Arkham games. I never watched Batman the animated series of many Batman cartoons, so I never got to see too too much of Harley doing bad shit just to impress the joker. Shit maybe I just need to consume more DC media if anything.
@@eggmug562 You literally just described the character of Harley in all contexts lmfao. Injustice 2 harley is a support character, and honestly BoP wasn't half bad. Just suffered from horrific marketing that made the charas unlikable from a get go by trying to spin the girl team narrative agenda bs which honestly wasn't portrayed at all in the film.
You can find some of that in the comics. Harley Quinn's 2000 comic run was one of my favorites. Psychopathic psychiatrist with a habit of killing civilians and a sense of humor.
However, "weird edgy but independent teen with quirky dyed ponytails" seems to sell more, so that's why you see that version of Harley Quinn in the movies.
In fact, in some of the more recent comics, that's what they're going for. As the years pass by, Harley resembles more and more like her film counterpart. Was quite annoyed to see that they abandoned the cool jester hat to go for the dyed pigtails.
It’s so sad that the New Mutants arc they adapted, one of the most visually unique X-Men stories, ended up becoming just some generic looking made for TV movie
They just assumed people would see it because edgy girl
Lmao the oneyplays pfp
I liked the characters, especially Anyas, and the premise. Not scary enough tho
It would have been so much better if it was adapted in a similar way to Legion
Hello da roach dog's son
They did "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" dirty, I was fully surprised when they cancelled as it seemed to be popular and had a LOT of potential
Netflix is dumb. For a service that claims to be “groundbreaking” they sure seem to throw out a lot of the stuff that fulfils that milestone in exchange for more over praised trash.

I think he was more so saying he wanted something new and creative instead of copying something that had worked and was safe
The fact that I hadn't even known of some of these movies before clicking on the video really shows how disconnected I've become from this genre.
I think even some fans of the genre would only know the marvel and dc movies.
@@UndrcoverCactus why is that there have been plenty of comics that are targeted towards older people. Ex Watchman, Savage Sword of Conan.
@Stranded NYer ¹¹
When it came out, I was so mad at WW84 for how long and boring it was that I made a cut myself without all the scenes that didn't matter (the first intro, that whole thing in Egypt that adds nothing, a lot of krysten wiig scenes that feel like dvd extras - she discovering her powers on the gym for example) and it was very poorly cut, but it was about 30/40 minutes shorter.
It's funny that I can't find comics physically sold in stores that aren't comics shops, except manga, while the movies from both DC and marvel are being pumped out like crazy still.
Idk chief, the comic section at Barnes & Noble is twice as big as the manga section lmao
@@paquio100 but that's a book store. I wasn't clear, but I was meaning more general purpose retailers like Target.
Point being at least the one I go to, I can browse manga and buy groceries at the same location.
@@krunkle5136 one authority: CCA

@@paquio100 stop shilling, nobody buys them anymore
The scene in The Boys where the girls give stormfront a beat down is probably my favourite scene from any TV show lol.
Also a funny joke to them making fun of the stupid girl power scenes they do by making that exact crap and stormfront being annoyed with it.
Fun fact, the only reason they included that scene was because the creator and a producer (who is a woman) saw endgame and hated the "she's not alone" scene.
*If we’re being honest* :
MCU movies: *Staying the same* .
DC Movies: *Getting better - but will be followed by getting immediately worse and take five steps back for the franchise* .
Lesser known comic book adaptions: *Carrying the genre* .
I mean the old guard wasn't great
elon musket - but Invincible and The Boys are the most fresh superhero shows and are effectively carrying the genre - MCU and DCEU shows and movies rarely venture outside of being mediocre
@@firstlast9846 oh definitely. I thought we were just talking films
I think Marvel is getting worse.
@@firstlast9846its Funny cause both of those series were written 20 years ago
I was really excited for scene when Chris Pine, a former pilot, enters the air craft museum. This could have been such a wholesome/child-like-wonder moment, but no, after like 10 seconds they steal a fueled jet and fly away.
I would like to see James Wan take on a completely horror-based superhero film. He could probably do The New Mutants properly, or hell sign him up for Ghost Rider.
Edit: I've just reminded myself that he did Aquaman and that was God awful. Maybe I take that back.
give the man a fuckin’ Spawn movie
I don't know, James Wan's horror doesn't work with me. Of course, it's alright, but his movies don't scare me. Maybe I am just SO COOL😎😎😎😎
So now that he's back he can finally do I Hate Mars Bars
I can definitely say the Red Son story wasn’t done much Justice in the movie. The comic expands a lot on the details missed out and a lot of the changes in the movie are for the worse, like the ending which misses the great twist of the original.
Most the animated movies feel way too fast pace.
They always try and jam years worth of story and exposition into an hour long movie.
They should either follow their source material closer and let it become a 2 or 3 part project or make even more changes so that you aren’t just rushing the source material’ plot.
I never read the comics but as a movie the red son film just felt like “this is happening, now this is happening, now that is happening, ok now we are sitting for a split second, ok now this is happening”
The same problem had the Injustice movie. Considering the source material I don't understand why they don't make it an animated miniseries so that they can flesh out the story more. Then I remember that is produced by Warner and their are afraid of trying something risky without 100% chance of success.
Really hate to say this but DC's animated projects have largely fallen apart. It's so greatly disappointing 😔. I hope some stuff they plan for the future can be better than what we've seen recently.
EXACTLY! I recommend reading the comic. It's a great story and has a really great twist ending. From all the things cutting short or alternating, leaving out the comic ending was the most stupid decision they could have done.
The motion comic is easy to find and excellent.
"it goes to show how much weight Marvel's carrying in terms of quality"
Boy did that age well
This kinda makes me realize how good chronicle is. I mean a standalone superhero movie that doesn't feel super generic. It has a unique tone not seen in these movies and does it really well
That was a supervillain origin story. We dont get too many of those

I was just super confused during the entire movie, tbh. 😵💫
"I could see an Harley Quinn Poison Ivy movie that might work"
That already exists in the form of the Harley Quinn animated show which is honestly GREAT
That show is fantastic
they should have made Birds of prey much darker and more dramatic. Them doing this "silly crazy hahaha shes so schizophrenic! Isnt that funny?" Just doesnt work.. its fuckin awful
birds of prey could of gone for a don't hug me i'm scared or adventure time, centaurworld vide where it's all colourful but there is just a constant feeling that something is very very wrong. also yes the animated show is amazing and it even has kiteman
I tried the first season. Was okay in some places but narratively questionable in others. Characters could be a bit much at times. Might purchase second season at some point in case it’s improved.
@@jamesstanley792 No, it's good
Thanks IHE for actually reviewing movies instead of most "reviewers" giving nothing but a beat recap
truth
Omg yes
Looking at you, Elvis the alien
Try watch filmento, The Critical Drinker and Channel awesome
Would you like to pont me at these bad reviewers you're talking about? Cause most of the popular reviewers out there are either the same depth as him or better. Not gonna lie, it's either you have only seen 2 or 3 youtubers or just s**king IHE off for likes.
I'm so happy that you liked the Old Guard! It's not an amazing movie by any means, but it is very dear to my heart and a lot better than you'd think. The human angle and the characters really sell it for me and I don't think I'll ever get over Joe and Nicky - the sheer romanticism of meeting on opposite sides of a war, killing each other over and over and learning to overcome their differences, resulting in eternal romance... It's so good!
Thank you for giving some spotlight to this movie, I wish people talked about it more so we could finally get that sequel. It has a lot of potential I think
You just reminded me of those Old Republic animations for the first time in like, a decade, and now I want to watch them.
When he metioned Sam Raimi....I felt that bro, right in the heart.
@Logan Roof News You are a horrible person, making fun of someone's loss. I hope one day you'll feel the pain Mark had to feel as then you'll understand.

How do you take so long to make a film that reshoots become impossible due to the cast’s aging? That seems like an accomplishment in failure, frankly.
What?
Nah, it's just part of casting preteens. They can have abrupt growth spurts at any moment, even if nothing weird happens with the movie. The scene in Phantom Menace where Anakin is getting the blood test has him sitting down since the actor grew a couple inches. In Terminator 2, Edward Furlong's voice changed during filming, so he had to dub himself for the whole movie.
YOO IHE is back, I'm pretty happy!
The Iron Maiden scene still keeps me up at night like 10 months later. Chilling.
somehow i feel like stal is the perfect song to play during ihe’s attempt to explain wonder woman’s plot
I like to think that the Wolff brothers share the same agent, but Alex kicks up a lil something extra under the table so that he gets all the good roles booked for himself.
New Mutants is a travesty. The original characters and comics are some of the best from the X-Men's heyday in the Chris Claremont era. And Boone went out of his way to get everything wrong he could have. Roberto's race was whitewashed. Illyana is so different she shouldn't even be called Illyana. She has more in common with Wanda Maximoff. Having her create a hell dimension with her mind is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If a child could create their own world to escape to as their happy place, it wouldn't be hell. It would be ponyland or Disneyland. She also never spouted such stupid racist dialogue, ever. She's a demon sorceress who was kidnapped to a hell dimension as a child where she learned sorcery and how to fight and fought her way to becoming ruler of that dimension, returning to earth as a teenager. The movie takes the magic out of Magik by making her a reality-warping mutant who never learned sorcery at all. They could have made her origin a mystery and revealed bits of it without going into too much detail, but that would require Josh Bone to not be a complete idiot. The fact that she can teleport and yet is somehow still 'stuck' in the facility is also never even addressed except in one throwaway line in a deleted scene. That's how little thought was put into the movie as a whole.
Making the demon bear just another one of Dani's illusions was another gigantic blunder. It's supposed to be a real mystical threat. And having it be so could allow it to be a constant threat throughout the movie and increase the tension and horror aspect. Then, instead of them defeating it through teamwork and skill, Dani just tells it to go away when she wakes up. It's just stupid.
For such a short movie, a lot of it is wasted time. There are entire scenes that serve no purpose, like the lie detector scene. Sam and Roberto might as well not even be in the movie they are so pointless. The dialogue is atrocious. There's pretty much nothing redeeming about it.
"Roberto's race was whitewashed." - there are far, far more white characters getting blackwashed or gender swapped so suck it up, buttercup!
@@Ricardo-cl3vs That's not an excuse to deflect proper criticism
@@guynamedrick4419
Tell that to the people blackwashing and gender swapping our characters while deflecting proper criticism!
We did not start this!
What we think superhero movies will be: epic battles full of tension and stuff
What we get: “I hate dust. I don’t want it in my home. You let enough dust build up, before you know it, you’ll have an army of dust bunnies wanting to take over.”
I love how direct he is.
You forgot "-Beautiful flowers where did you get those from our garden?"
I bet those flowers have dust get them out of here wench
and when we needed him most… he returned
What a original comment
RUclipsr: is gone for more than a couple weeks
The comments:
Oh shut uuup
Lol
harley quinn is hard to do without someone to ground her. its why pairing her with poison ivy is so important since ivy always grounds her.
While watching WW1984 for the first time, I legit thought Pedro Pascal was trying to pull off a Nathan Fillion impersonation, and I can never unsee that, lol.
“We’re nostalgia obsessed freaks”
Quote of the day for me.
The "80s" techno music ppl are being wowed by today was muzak for commercials back then and bad low budget movies. Its silly.
It's the way it is.
@@skylx0812 there's very few 80s songs i like naturally, and those ones are blue monday and sweet dreams, everything else i find average or just too weird for my liking
28:54 I’m honestly curious what Snyder thinks “for grownups” means is it making Joker say “reach around” in a forced dream sequence?
Honestly, the Snyder Cut wasn’t even that ‘grownup’ of a movie. Hell, I’d say Man of Steel and BvS are more mature and grownup movies because those tackle deeper issues for the characters and the story is based on those themes. Snyder Cut has the same thematic depth as Avengers 1 honestly except it has a dark tone and is very serious but that doesn’t make it grownup and I really liked the Snyder Cut but to be fair, to say the Snyder Cut is the same movie is so ignorant
Zack Snyder is one of those guys that thinks making a story dark and gritty is the same as making it grown up and deep.
I literally fell asleep about 45 mins in and woke up to Chris pine dying a second time. It was so boring. Even after rewinding and watching back up to that point, it was still incomprehensible.
So good to see you back! Used to watch you daily and re watch your vids when I was in college
To my big surprise, Shang-Chi and The Suicide Squad were my favorite superhero movies of 2021!!
Terrific video, there's something that happens in your mind when a channel becomes something more than the genre they belong in. You are a commentary channel but every time you post, my mind reacts differently to it than any other video. Well done, Alex.
Man, always love to hear your perspective on these films :) these videos doesn't even feel that long
Not about the video's content, but I've been watching your vids since middle school and now I'm in my 2nd year at uni. It's just really great that you still post high-quality vids after all this time. :)
The title reads like one of those movie collections you'd find in a Wal Mart bargain bin
What’s wrong with the animation looking like Ben 10? That’s a good style you got
Thank you for this, always a pleasure to hear solid commentary without fanboyish hype. Good luck and carry on :)
Something from birds of prey really stuck with me. It's overall a relatively light movie tonally. The violence isn't that bad or cruel....but at the beginning? A guy peels the face off of someone and you hear his agonizing screams. The victims child begs to not be killed, and this wish is granted until the kid ugly cries, and then the kidnapper decides to kill her for it. I was legitimately disturbed in this scene. And then we get a goofy movie. Like wtf
(Note: saw this in 2020, I was not gonna go back and watch the movie to ensure accuracy, so forgive any incorrect details)
I loved when you had her equipment segment and the invisible jet was... The invisible jet.
we need more 'not disney / not pixar' content please we're starvingggg
I’ll say this, the Snyder Cut wasn’t perfect, but it was miles better than WW84. Honestly, I think Zack Snyder can give Wonder Woman more justice than Patty Jenkins at this point. He even gave the Amazons more credibility too.
Patty Jerkins was only hired so they can market the film as a Woke Stuff, the female director girl power drama. She definitely did not direct the fight scene.
Why do you wanna make it worse?
Come on, it's all the same bollocks. CGI falling and flying in ridiculously high heights, doing the impossible which is completely unrelatable, and smashing through walls and blown up buildings over and over and over again without so much as a scratch, maybe one bruise at the end. They are live action cartoon movies for children that immature childish adults with low I.Q. want to see and get easily amused by.
I love that IHE uses Minecraft discs as his background music
Welcome back Alex!
Missed your main content and always happy to see it.
Thank you

@@samuelthehobo4441 don’t you step out of line
22:34 Gail Simone's run on the Birds of Prey comics was a massive success that brought DC a much needed feminine touch at the time. It was the kind of feminist statement that Warner Bros. wished Wonder Woman 1984 could have been.
Still hoping we get a 2021 video
I keep forgetting that the current year is 2021 and not 2020
2020 2
@@JRexRegis 2020 part two was early this year. That has long since past now.
Late 2021 feels much different than early 2021.
Today is my birthday, and this is my present. Thanks, IHE. ❤️
Great episode, I missed you. I think you are my favourite RUclipsr to pair with morning coffee.
Great video and welcome back! 👍🏻
One thing that pains me specifically about the Birds of Prey is that the superior Harley Quinn tv show came out around the same time, had a lot of the same general concept(Harley breaks up with Joker, comedy ensues), but the tv show generally does better both from a plot, comedic, and emotional perspective
I like birds of prey but i do agree the harley quinn show is much better.
IHE: (Undertaker theme plays) “I LIVE ONCE MORE!”
Love the video, but what you referred to as "rotoscoping" in the animated DC films was actually cel-shaded CG animation. Both often look jarring and out of place next to traditional animation (just look at modern anime), but rotoscoping is VERY uncommon for in modern animation, it's almost always just cel-shaded CG.
The hand animation he showed didn't look CG tho, it seemed pretty rotoscoped.
Patty Jenkins didn’t at any point stop to think “Maybe a movie having two opening sequences is a really dumb idea!”
Gotta get those young talented writers fresh with ideas and ambition. These scripts man the dialogue strikes me like 'who the fuck is writing these' and then in the same breath it hits me
How about no more fucking superhero movies, period
@@bonchbonch you can said the same as Romantic and comedy movies because they're way less successful than superhero movies and also i don't even think there're a good Romantic movie outside Titanic
@@13thKingMu Why would I say that about romances and comedies when you admit they're way less successful than superhero movies? This genre has sucked the oxygen out of the room and overshadowed everything else. Cinema is now a theme park ride.
@@bonchbonch because majority ppl don't know how to make superhero movie(some of them just copy and paste but removed alot of stuff that make it good),we can get some really good movies like Spiderverse or hot garbage which is same case all movie genre especially horror, animated,teens, romance and comedy. Every gerne have their own hot garbage movies and you said it like superhero movie is top of the gerne while horror and animted movies has more successful films than them
@@13thKingMu We don't need any more goddamn superhero movies. The reason they're top of the game is they're the only tentpole films that get released anymore. They're just theme park rides people go to see.
When a single new episode of a youtube animation series had me more invested than everything shown in this video you just know that these movies were really underwhelming to me.
Also I'm happy to see you back, really missed your voice man.
Helluva Boss?
@@parlinmains bingo
Imo I think it's because you actually feel the passion in HB over the sanitized and obviously money hungry billion budget movies with 0 self awareness
So happy to see you back IHE. Life's just not the same without Robot Monster or What's UP? Balloon to the Rescue ❤
Idk even Marvel movies this year have felt pretty underwhelming. Marvel's whole universal storytelling with their movies seem to work a lot better with series as opposed to movies imo, as proven by both Wandavision and Loki. That and I feel a massive burnout of super heroes in general after Avengers Endgame.
Shang chi was amazing in my opinion but both black Widow and eternals are garbage and I understand why people would watch those and say they don’t wanna watch anymore lol
WandaVision still disappointed me less than you disappointed your parents
@@tadpolegaming4510 My parents are proud of me but okay go off then
Last time I was this early Alex still hated Aquaman.
