19:20 THANK YOU. OH MY GOD. I sent a series of texts to a buddy of mine a long while ago, saying "You watch. They're gonna make a prequel to this shit, and it's going to just be called 'Mufasa'". Mark my words, people - it's coming. It's coming, and you know god damn well it's gonna be called that.
In a world where online film criticism is an hour or 90 minute rant direct to camera, it'll never not be both amazing and hilarious to me how much time he's spent and is going to continue to spend, on this review.
For "county out", my theory is that John said the full line "count me out", but he was so off-time that they needed to chop off the "m" sound to condense the line and make it flow better with the music. And they decided to do that instead of getting a better take.
Zazu's "headstrong cub" line was actually taken word-for-word from the Broadway musical. There, it not only illustrates the similarities between Simba and Mufasa, but also enhances Zazu's friendship with Mufasa too. It's a shame you don't see that friendship at all in the remake, so thanks *JON* Oliver And Favreau as well.
I believe that the original movie purposely avoided showing similarities between Simba and Mufasa, since it wanted to portray Mufasa as an almost godlike being, like how a small child might see their father. I don't know if the musical did anything different, though.
This scene was added during the tryouts in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Originally, the problem was that there would be a long, awkward gap between “Be Prepared” and the Stampede scene, during which the stage hands would set up the set pieces for the Wildebeest Stampede. On some nights, Thomas Schumacher would go up on stage and have a small talk with the audience to fill in the gap. After a while, the production team decided to add the talk between Mufasa and Zazu to fill in that gap while the stage was being prepared for the Stampede scene. As of now, the scene after “Be Prepared” goes like this- Zazu and Mufasa have a conversation about how Simba’s behaviour worries Mufasa and Zazu reminds the king that he was once a naughty cub like his son. This is followed by a cheetah stalking a giraffe, which is then followed by Scar leading Simba to the gorge, thus beginning the Stampede scene.
there are some bad takes but "county out" is inexcusable. Either nobody watched over that or somebody did and thought nobody would notice. Regardless, a line that bad shouldn't make it into a multi million dollar movie
@@midneis his reviews are so freaking good. Watching yms is like waiting for a new manga chapter that's 1000 pages long and can't wait to read through in a day

@@janberkemeier7406 I mean if you listen to Gilbert's podcast, mainly the one hit wonder episodes, he's not that bad of a singer, his cover of Shannon brings a tear to my eye
Something I noticed in the commentary: Jon Favreau said "when you're doing a Disney movie a villain song is an important song. There's cards on the table." It's further proof that he doesn't know what he's doing with musicals, and certainly doesn't understand the musical format that Howard Ashman brought to Disney when they did The Little Mermaid. Jon doesn't understand how songs are used to advance the narrative, hence his fucking with "Be Prepared" and that Beyonce song you can remove without there being a hole in the story.
Yeah i belive it was something you want the talking to have some beat come in under it so it transitions easily to song and you wont notice and it adds entertainment to the exposition.
@@Laketwig What you're talking about there, you see that done to brilliant effect in the films of the Disney Renaissance. In The Little Mermaid, you hear a seductive vamp under dialogue before Ursula launches into "Poor Unfortunate Souls". In Beauty and the Beast, you hear an insistent, waltz-like vamp under dialogue before Lefou begins to sing "Gaston" to pull him out of his funk. And in The Lion King, you hear some creepy, atmospheric wordless voices under dialogue before Scar launches into "Be Prepared". There's countless other examples, but I zeroed in on the villain songs in this case because they tie into Favreau's mistake. You can't take any of those songs out without there being a massive hole in the story in each of those three films.
I once took the clip of Simba running back and replaced the Beyoncé song with the new version of He Lives In You. Not only did it make the scene feel so much better and tonally consistent with the rest of the film, the song’s beat perfectly syncs with Simba’s running (including the bit where he encounters Nala). It seemed to me then that they were going to put either HLIY or the Beyoncé song, and eventually they went with the Beyoncé song (which I think is good, but certainly not better than HLIY) because it’s a Beyoncé song.
@@aericabison23 "He Lives in You" would have at least been more appropriate as you say, and definitely would have been a better way of paying tribute to the musical instead of getting banished to the end credits. Anyway, we wouldn't have the new Xhosa version of the song if it weren't for this dumpster fire of a remake, so...
Listening to geezer James E. Jones voice, I really started to wonder why they didn't get Keith David to do Mufasa. (Obviously, it's because he isn't super famous)
Because they were terrified of toxic fanboys going to Twitter and saying, "OMG! They replaced JEJ, the one and ONLY Mufasa! He monopolized Mufasa! Shame on you, Disney!"
34:29: I have a somewhat different interpetasion of this scene. Scar is just not the type of villain that likes to get his hands dirty, he always lets someone else do it. Even his murder of Mufasa wasn't all that intimate since it was the fall that killed him. I think Scar does this so he can feel less guilty about his actions in a twisted sort of way.
That "county out" part says so much about the making of this movie in under a second. Nobody noticed, or nobody cared, either way it's not a good thing to happen during the making of a $250 million movie.
see it makes sense in the original because there's only three of them. but it doesn't make sense in the remake because a whole hyena pack can overpower one singular lion. seems like the lion king remake wasn't so realistic after all huh *JON.*
In the original film, it was three against one, but Mufasa was still strong enough to fight them. It's so weird that they upped the number of hyenas for that moment. If it was as realistic as Jon wants it to be, Mufasa would have been dead earlier on in the movie.
SNES definitely had better audio capabilities thanks to a robust audio processor, but it relied on programmed samples for everything, making it harder for lesser composers to get lively sound out of it. Not every studio had a David Wise on hand.
I think they only had one take being so lazy, and they still could have stolen a me from somewhere else in the recording but were also too lazy to do that
I actually watched the Original Lion King film recently, and something I realized is that there were many supernatural elements to the film to sorta remind us this is a “fairy tale Disney-esque film” (ie. the moments where Simba sees his father in the stars, when lightning strikes when Scar pushes Simba to the cliff etc.) and Jon Favreau was pushing so hard for this movie to be “realistic and live action.” Basically stripping it from those supernatural, fair tale-like elements that made the Lion King… the Lion King. And it’s so fucking dumb and frustrating to listen to, it’s like he didn’t pay attention to any details at all within the original film.
"Why would you sit in a room....Why make this change?" One reason and one reason only: So that it would be "original"; in the sense that Disney wouldn't have to pay the writers what they owe if they just used the same script. I actually really hope Adam talks about how the original SCRIPT WRITERS FELT because a lot were kinda MAD but not just at the fact that Disney was taking something beloved and turning it into trash, but because they wouldn't get residuals, while the writers of the remake will; and some of the original writers may not see their names on the remake even though it was expected to closely adhere to the original script. For a movie with a 260M dollar budget Disney decided to be as cheap and lazy with it as possible while also insulting anyone and everyone who worked on the original. Animation directors and writers are not covered by the DGA and Writers Guild and it is a serious issue that should and needs to be talked about more especially if Disney is going to keep churning out these remakes.
Disney own most of the entire film industry at this point, they could literally film an unwanted remake nearby a concentration camp (and thank China for the privilege to do so) and people would still go shell out money to see their movies. Oh, wait- They're like Nestle if Nestle owned every source of popular chocolate in the known world (and made it all intentionally bad to make the most money).
26:50 that is exactly how the word "spasm" and its derivatives are now banned from British media. There was a PSA made in the late 1980s about the affects of cerebral palsy and what they look like, with the most talked about symptom being random muscle spasms. It was done to show that disabled people are still people and ridiculing them is not a nice thing to do. The children then doubled down with all their new vocabulary the special taught them and the derogatory statements became so frequent and so harsh that the BBC and later parliament itself declared many words used in the special as unable to be aired uncensored, defeating the purpose of the special. This has caused problems as no other county has this issue, so media that contains these words have to be heavily rewritten and sometimes redubbed to be aired.
So glad he said Genesis all the way. I grew up playing The Lion King on Genesis, so the first time I heard the soundtrack and SFX from the SNES version, my immediate reaction was "ew".
Crazy thing is that like 7 years ago John Oliver voice acted for a disney show called Randy Cunnigham 9th Grade Ninja and was an actual character with funny inflections and didn't just sound like he was doing a talk show.
I liked Cinema Sins in my early 20s.. I never took it that literal and saw it as just jokes.. But then I realized that every video was the same, only with different movies
This movie shouldn't exist, but holy moly Keith David would have sounded beautiful as Mufasa. He wouldve sold that soooooooooooooooo well! Seriously, let anyone else take the reigns of such an iconic character rather than force this man to keep working when he sounds like that. It's not fair. While I'm here, and kno this comes from a very very white lady talking abt a movie set in Africa but made for westerners- I think it's a missed opportunity not to keep Scar a white actor because he's the bad guy. That's a thing a lot of productions of the musical do. I've read some posts from actors who've performed the stage show talk about how, when under their influence, Lion King becomes an allegory for the apartheid: w Scar being the British supremacy draining south Africa of it's culture and resources and also exploiting an underclass there (the hyenas) to get what he wants- even killing their leaders. I don't know if I see that exactly but it is a nice thought and kinda changes it up from the og film's accidental "authoritarianism is lit bro" message. But of course, the stage show just demonstrates how much of an allegorical-"actually abt people"-story Lion King is at heart and why making it hyper realistic is the worst thing you could do w this story. Seriously John/Disney, Bambi is RIGHT THERE and it has a lot of stuff from the source material Walt didn't touch.
12:24 I also found an instance of recycled voice clips I think, during the scene when mufasa talks to shenzi after saving the cubs he says: "if you ever come near my son again!" And it sounded like 94 James. Maybe my ears are wack but try comparing both voice lines they sound the same.
in regards to snes vs genesis sound effects. really just depends on the composer of the game. the sound chip on the sega genesis was solid. my two fav osts: th-cam.com/video/o1QAKVfRFas/w-d-xo.html - comix zone th-cam.com/video/tWJHhCpc2fU/w-d-xo.html - toejam and earl
In fact i’m fairly certain the Genesis had a more robust sound chip than the SNES did, at least initially. It’s main issue is that the sound chip was so good that most emulators (especially sega’s in-house ones) butcher it, and some later model consoles also swapped it out for a lower quality one.
19:50 speaking of that scene. I can belive a lion or in film Mufasa be able to take on 3 hyenas caught of guard. I cannot belive a lion or Mufasa could take on 20+ Hyenas all surounding him. Film or real life.
*32x And no, that was absolutely a knock at the Genesis’s sound chip. For whatever reason, time has brought the general consensus that the Genesis had a worse sound chip than the SNES, despite it being quite the opposite. In fact the Genesis’s sound chip is so good that most modern emulators fail to come close to its original sound for whatever reason.
He was drunk, he’s drunk at a lot of things, he’s seen drinking, talks about drinking, other people see him drinking. Your opinion doesn’t matter in the face of fact lmfao He’s also been speaking and working in English for decades. Having an accent doesn’t make you slur your words
Is the Lion King (2019) Prequel going to have its own story from scratch or will it be based off of the books? There are books considered canon by the fan base about Scar and Mufasa’s childhood so idk if they’d use that as source material
Something truly poetic about 2019's best vocal deliveries being from the REJECTED takes of the '94 film. Like, they weren't good enough for the original movie, but they're good enough for Jonny Boy!! :) *Edit:* I feel the need to say this as well; it's fascinating to me how an intelligent man can say the same rhetoric sincerely as alt-right mysoginists. That's not a knock against Adum, but perhaps feminist marketing should try harder to share these concepts in a way men can understand them (not that we haven't done more than enough already and some men will just never listen 🙄). Anyways, "Ban Bossy" refers to the double standards that young girls and boys are raised with: If boys demonstrate leadership skills and organize a group, they are usually praised, but when girls do the same thing, they are called "bossy", implying that their assertive behavior is aggressive and wrong. This discourages girls from adopting leadership qualities that would have helped them to advance their careers later in life. Also it's not _litetally_ a ban of the word, just a cute alliteration that sums up the goal to remove "bossy" from developmental education circles, and to call leadership abilities what they are.
I imagine that double standard may be true, but even if it is, a campaign to ban a word (even if it wasn't meant to be literal) isn't going to help the stigma against women being leaders, it's probably going to add to the problem. Especially if it's a word that can be used to imply genuine criticism if a leader regardless of gender goes a bit too far and acts legitimately nasty. It unintentionally makes them act like the word they're trying to ban. Also, I don't think it's fair to imply that all the people who have those criticisms are alt-right misogynists or extremists. I think that's a bit much.
@@octupusman1000 1.) Again, you're taking a campaign with cute alliteration to its absolute extreme. If you actually watch these ads, they even specifically say that their target is young girls with the *potential to grow up to be leaders.* This is a clear indicator that the "Ban bossy" campaign is exclusive to early education settings, and not adults who already *have* a leadership role. 2.) Even *if* this was meant to ban "bossy" in wider circles, I don't think that the word "bossy" is nearly as critical as you imply it is. We tend to call real leaders far nastier things when criticizing their behavior, and I've never seen "bossy" brought up once. There are plenty of ways to criticise a leader without use of the term; not that it would be correct to ban the term, I'm simply saying that even at its most malicious, this campaign won't nearly do as much harm as you say it would. 3.) I never said that all people who levy certain criticisms against feminism/activist movements are mysoginists, and the proof that I actually said the *opposite* is in me admitting that Adam says the same rhetoric *without* being one. But trust me, I've been on the internet long enough to live through the anti-SJW/anti-feminist/anti-activist waves. Most of them *are* alt-right mysoginists. I wish that the world weren't so ridiculous that you would think that I'm being insincere to you, but if you spent your life fighting for marginalized groups as us feminists have, it won't take long at all for you to realize that the world really is that ridiculous.
Ive litterslly heard a soul say a girl was being bossy or that a boy was a "leader" usuallt they were acting like self entitled assholes and were usually called rude

In regard to the whole Sega Genesis v. SNES music thing: Some composers just really knew how to work with the Genesis sound chip.
Current James Earl Jones sounds like he's mid-yawn every take
Yay more editing highlights!!!! I always look forward to seeing these
at this point, this is just Black: The Movie. my eyes roll soo far into the back of my head whenever Pharrell appears
Into the BLACK of your head, am I right?
Also, did you know that 95 percent of the universe is BLACK?

So glad he said Genesis all the way. I grew up playing The Lion King on Genesis, so the first time I heard the soundtrack and SFX from the SNES version, my immediate reaction was "ew".
TYSVM for using the Genesis tracks, that really brought me back.
Hope your hands get better.
As someone with chronic pain in my hands I can relate and it sucks.
For now these videos are the closest thing to part 2 of the lion king review we will get anytime soon.. 😘
33:38 imagine adum respectfully cutting to Confused Matthews 15 year old video as reference material in his magnnum opus review
I live for these Lion King uploads bro, you're doing God's work x
Dude, every time I listen to that drunk Hanz Zimmer clip, all I can think of is Obi Kenobi from _Ani: A Musical._
Crazy thing is that like 7 years ago John Oliver voice acted for a disney show called Randy Cunnigham 9th Grade Ninja and was an actual character with funny inflections and didn't just sound like he was doing a talk show.
Even the highlights are now taking too long. This film is cursed.
scar!1!😭😢😩...... HELP ME😡🤬👿
I say "count-y out!" probably daily.
Wow I can't wait for this review to come out
The first part did
th-cam.com/video/btNL1q-yU7E/w-d-xo.html first part of the review
Adam: "I'm not a woman, but..."
Hmm...suspicious...
It's so refreshing hearing the word poutine pronounced properly on youtube
Adum keeps peeling back the layers on the rotten onion that is this movie
I liked Cinema Sins in my early 20s.. I never took it that literal and saw it as just jokes.. But then I realized that every video was the same, only with different movies
"If this is where the monarchy is headed, COUNTIE out."
I'll still rewatch this before Endgame or Black Panther
This movie shouldn't exist, but holy moly Keith David would have sounded beautiful as Mufasa. He wouldve sold that soooooooooooooooo well! Seriously, let anyone else take the reigns of such an iconic character rather than force this man to keep working when he sounds like that. It's not fair.
While I'm here, and kno this comes from a very very white lady talking abt a movie set in Africa but made for westerners- I think it's a missed opportunity not to keep Scar a white actor because he's the bad guy. That's a thing a lot of productions of the musical do. I've read some posts from actors who've performed the stage show talk about how, when under their influence, Lion King becomes an allegory for the apartheid: w Scar being the British supremacy draining south Africa of it's culture and resources and also exploiting an underclass there (the hyenas) to get what he wants- even killing their leaders. I don't know if I see that exactly but it is a nice thought and kinda changes it up from the og film's accidental "authoritarianism is lit bro" message.
But of course, the stage show just demonstrates how much of an allegorical-"actually abt people"-story Lion King is at heart and why making it hyper realistic is the worst thing you could do w this story.
Seriously John/Disney, Bambi is RIGHT THERE and it has a lot of stuff from the source material Walt didn't touch.
12:24 I also found an instance of recycled voice clips I think, during the scene when mufasa talks to shenzi after saving the cubs he says: "if you ever come near my son again!" And it sounded like 94 James. Maybe my ears are wack but try comparing both voice lines they sound the same.
14:40 I don't know man, it's a pretty substantial upgrade imo since I can finally watch the movie without crying when mufasa dies
Can't get over John Favreau awkwardly spinning around and mugging the camera lmfao
"kinda weird given the reputation that the genesis's sound card has."
plays audio from a 32x game
I know, comparing the 32x sound to the Mega Drive is preposterous!
SIRE
Grandpa Mufasa: **half asleep** “…morning Sazu.”
*THE RIDE NEVER ENDS*
This mufasa just reminds me of marge from recent simpsons
13:05 woah didn't know he had a Garrus pillow, very nice
@2:28 sick Jeanne Dielman burn, GOT ‘EM
i love that holy mountain music :) 0:15
Bobcat goldwthait is... scar. Yw for the nightmares.
They completely fuck the reveal of the hundreds of hyenas in the remake. In the 94 film it's meant to be a shock and proof Scar's plan will work.
in regards to snes vs genesis sound effects. really just depends on the composer of the game.
the sound chip on the sega genesis was solid. my two fav osts:
th-cam.com/video/o1QAKVfRFas/w-d-xo.html - comix zone
th-cam.com/video/tWJHhCpc2fU/w-d-xo.html - toejam and earl
In fact i’m fairly certain the Genesis had a more robust sound chip than the SNES did, at least initially.
It’s main issue is that the sound chip was so good that most emulators (especially sega’s in-house ones) butcher it, and some later model consoles also swapped it out for a lower quality one.
owo this video isnt in the lion king playlist yet
awww yis, inject the Lion King Editing Highlights directly into my cynicism gland... **unf**
19:50 speaking of that scene.
I can belive a lion or in film Mufasa be able to take on 3 hyenas caught of guard.
I cannot belive a lion or Mufasa could take on 20+ Hyenas all surounding him. Film or real life.
If it makes Adam feel better, the SNES versions of the song still give off the same feeling. I clued in on the change being a copyright issue.
12:37 Scaaar HELP ME! Sounds like two ppl did that take
I got a crazy nostalgia flashback from that avgn clip.
Could not unsubscribe quick enough adum
The help me sounds like the Dark Souls pot
Is this new highlight content?
15:45 the more I watch this the more I realize the line was probably artificially shortened to fit with the song. Still a dumb decision though.
COUNTY OUT
Genesis does what Nintendont. Also, that Doom comparison is more a knock against the ill-fated Sega CD than the Genesis itself.
*32x
And no, that was absolutely a knock at the Genesis’s sound chip. For whatever reason, time has brought the general consensus that the Genesis had a worse sound chip than the SNES, despite it being quite the opposite. In fact the Genesis’s sound chip is so good that most modern emulators fail to come close to its original sound for whatever reason.
listing to the "county out" it sounds like it was edited? maybe to better fit the timing?
It feels like the Hans Zimmer "drunk" thing has more to do with him being ESL and the fact that he's old than him being drunk.
He was drunk, he’s drunk at a lot of things, he’s seen drinking, talks about drinking, other people see him drinking. Your opinion doesn’t matter in the face of fact lmfao
He’s also been speaking and working in English for decades. Having an accent doesn’t make you slur your words
*CHEW AND TELL* 🥴
Good gods, there’s more?
Now Disney knows what happens when you fuck around and county out.
❤️
31:12 if only this was in the review.
Is the Lion King (2019) Prequel going to have its own story from scratch or will it be based off of the books? There are books considered canon by the fan base about Scar and Mufasa’s childhood so idk if they’d use that as source material
If they’re good, they’ll be ignored. If they’re bad, they’ll form the entire base for the story
They wont yse them snd then say "We had nothing
1:33 this picture has been here since the very beginning and yet I still don’t know it’s origin
It's probably from a Beatles concert or something.
Something truly poetic about 2019's best vocal deliveries being from the REJECTED takes of the '94 film. Like, they weren't good enough for the original movie, but they're good enough for Jonny Boy!! :)
*Edit:* I feel the need to say this as well; it's fascinating to me how an intelligent man can say the same rhetoric sincerely as alt-right mysoginists. That's not a knock against Adum, but perhaps feminist marketing should try harder to share these concepts in a way men can understand them (not that we haven't done more than enough already and some men will just never listen 🙄). Anyways, "Ban Bossy" refers to the double standards that young girls and boys are raised with: If boys demonstrate leadership skills and organize a group, they are usually praised, but when girls do the same thing, they are called "bossy", implying that their assertive behavior is aggressive and wrong. This discourages girls from adopting leadership qualities that would have helped them to advance their careers later in life. Also it's not _litetally_ a ban of the word, just a cute alliteration that sums up the goal to remove "bossy" from developmental education circles, and to call leadership abilities what they are.
I imagine that double standard may be true, but even if it is, a campaign to ban a word (even if it wasn't meant to be literal) isn't going to help the stigma against women being leaders, it's probably going to add to the problem. Especially if it's a word that can be used to imply genuine criticism if a leader regardless of gender goes a bit too far and acts legitimately nasty. It unintentionally makes them act like the word they're trying to ban.
Also, I don't think it's fair to imply that all the people who have those criticisms are alt-right misogynists or extremists. I think that's a bit much.
You sound so fucking dislikeable, Victoria. That's why no one will listen to you
@@octupusman1000 That implication that anyone who doesn't agree with the left is a misogynist is why so many are turning away from the movement.
@@octupusman1000 1.) Again, you're taking a campaign with cute alliteration to its absolute extreme. If you actually watch these ads, they even specifically say that their target is young girls with the *potential to grow up to be leaders.* This is a clear indicator that the "Ban bossy" campaign is exclusive to early education settings, and not adults who already *have* a leadership role.
2.) Even *if* this was meant to ban "bossy" in wider circles, I don't think that the word "bossy" is nearly as critical as you imply it is. We tend to call real leaders far nastier things when criticizing their behavior, and I've never seen "bossy" brought up once. There are plenty of ways to criticise a leader without use of the term; not that it would be correct to ban the term, I'm simply saying that even at its most malicious, this campaign won't nearly do as much harm as you say it would.
3.) I never said that all people who levy certain criticisms against feminism/activist movements are mysoginists, and the proof that I actually said the *opposite* is in me admitting that Adam says the same rhetoric *without* being one. But trust me, I've been on the internet long enough to live through the anti-SJW/anti-feminist/anti-activist waves. Most of them *are* alt-right mysoginists. I wish that the world weren't so ridiculous that you would think that I'm being insincere to you, but if you spent your life fighting for marginalized groups as us feminists have, it won't take long at all for you to realize that the world really is that ridiculous.
Ive litterslly heard a soul say a girl was being bossy or that a boy was a "leader" usuallt they were acting like self entitled assholes and were usually called rude
4:59 whew!
You called me out at the end with the Cinema Sins thing. It's literally just occasionally abbreviated viewing of the film
Has Adam ever commented n the Lion King 1&1/2, Lion King 2, or that Lion King sequel cartoon series? I remember enjoying 1&1/2, but I was a kid last time I saw it and I can't remember if it as actually good.
Okay, by "in the black," he meant while the screen remained black, before the first frame of the film, right? Please let that be what he meant. . .
Autobots, COUNTY OUT!!!!!
Last time I was this early, Adam hadn't released part 1 yet.
Thank goodness he released part 1 then.
