@@spiffygonzales5160 indeed! I feel the same way about certain Star Trek movies and series. If you on the DEI nonsense or Orange Man bad mindset then you ain’t producing good stories. Hire the best, write the best, stick to the history that made the genre great. Everything else, no one asked you for. And we won’t pay you for trash. The fans hold the wallet. Without that, you done.
Amazing, yes. Unexpected that someone with passion for faithfully telling the story instead of pushing some "message" would produce better art, not at all. I just hope the trend continues and that Big Hollywood goes bankrupt and is forgotten.
Back when George Lucas had no money, just an idea, Star Wars was a labor of love. But then, after he became rich off the franchise, it became more, 'throw more money at it', and it showed in the prequels. Corporations are not interested in taking chances on labors of love, they want a return on their investments, so rather than tell a good story, they'll try to dazzle you with over reliance on special effects.
It's sad when we can see what can be done by people who actually care & KNOW THE CANON of what they are making & on a shoestring budget at that, compared to disgusting nonsense they put out as "official product "vomit. Some fan films are cringe, but their hearts are in a good place. Then there's really good stuff like what you mentioned. Thanks Dave!
Batman Beyond was a great series. I always wanted to see more done with the property but I'm also glad Hollywood hasn't gotten a chance to mess it up...yet.
One of the good things about making fan films about Batman is that since he's an unpowered human fighting other unpowered humans it's easier to make a film doing him justice than as, Superman.
The Problem with the Popcast channel is that the creator is semi-woke and dislikes sexiness and female beauty. He makes up stories about actresses hating their revealing clothing in older movies or TV shows. But when I checked the interviews and sources, it turns out many of the actresses actually were fine with their costumes. Some were even proud because they worked hard in the gym to get into shape for a role and gave interviews talking about how proud they were and had no problem showing off.
Hollywood (especially Disney) purged out much of its creative talent and replaced them with wokee amateurs. “Fan film” used to mean amateur productions of low quality, but that now describes major Studio producers. Actual fan films are frequently well written and produced, and their makers are the new professionals while big Studios put out amateurish trash. The tide has turned and Studios are falling behind by their own hand. Good.
The Batman beyond short film looks awesome. Gonna take a pass on the Star Wars one though. Nothing against the fan film or the makers of it, just cant do Star Wars anymore.
Your recommendations are ranking right up there with Critical Drinker, and that's saying something. He's a little too jaded about star wars and star trek to delve into those, so your reviews are appreciated.
I think it's so terribly sad that these aren't original ideas. (Other than Rebecca Gold) All that creativity and attention to detail, in the service of paying homage to mega corporations that actively hate their fans. Make something new, damn it. Then, not only can you tell whatever story you want, but you'd fully own your creation.
Sad that all woke companies want is to make garbage like the new lord of the rings movie where the main characters humiliates every man she encounters including her father, easily kills the main villain and rides off into the sunset with her lesbian lover. I still really wish I was making up the ending
Other than you falling for the Paramount "Picard" S3 ploy like so many other usually smart commentators, your views are usually spot on. Going to have to check these out...even if the Trek one leans into Kurtzman "Trek" a little.
-Never watched Batman cartoons. Not interested. -Alien was ok. Only saw it once. Aliens, however, I would be interested in a documentary about. -Rebecca Gold: Never heard of it. Can no longer stand female-led shows. Pass. -I might look at Bucketheads. -I have absolutely no interest in any characters from STD or any other NuTrek. I wish OTOY had excised that entirely and just handwaved it rather than acknowledge that crap exists. I freely admit that these shows probably have excellent production values, may be well-written, and will please fans of these franchises. I just don't care about any of them, either through prior ignorance of its existence and dislike of the premise, indifference to the source material, or having my affection for the franchise destroyed by creators who hate me. I'm glad you do these videos, because I've seen some good stuff because you recommended it, but this one I have to pass on most of it. Sorry.
If Hollywood won’t give the fans what they want, the fans will take matters into their own hands.
True compair the Sims 4 Star Wars DLC to what the fans build, the fans did it better
So true!
If it is in Disneys archives... than it does not exist.

its amazing how fans with no money can make something better than billion dollar studios

The billion dollar studios probably splash most of their money today’s version of Epstein, whoever that may be… 🧐

@@Evilmidnightbomber2870 Artistists require a certain level of poverty to perform at their pinnacle.
"Duuuh, if we get rid of copyright, no one will make good stuff"
Fans, working for free: "Are we a joke to you?"
The Batman Beyond Year One looks BRILLIANT. The fight scene looks so great.
I just saw that film the other night. Absolutely spot on. We need more of this!

The fans are making the best stuff
Batman Beyond was a great series. I always wanted to see more done with the property but I'm also glad Hollywood hasn't gotten a chance to mess it up...yet.
The Trekyards guys get a lot of studio assets and insider info to work with, they're pretty chill dudes to chat with as well
Thank you David Cullen 🙂
Great to see Rebecca Gold in the list. An excellent series from an all-round top bloke.
The fans are tired of Hollywood and are doing the job themselves. This is how a new crop of directors and crew starts.
The Batman Beyond series is excellent, the animated movies were pretty good too.
Highly recommended.
It was clearly inspired by Akira.
The Fans are doing Hollywood's work for them. Again
What? Dave, are you saying that fans can create better entertainment than Hollywood? Who knew? 😃
Everyone have a wonderful day.
I love when fans take matters into their own hands and make their own faithful entertainment!
Wow! Looks like I've got my TH-cam playlist for the holidays! ♥

Bring back Star Trek Continues
Thanks! Its a treat to hear positives on any videos/films/ etc, esp when they earned it.
Hollywood (especially Disney) purged out much of its creative talent and replaced them with wokee amateurs. “Fan film” used to mean amateur productions of low quality, but that now describes major Studio producers. Actual fan films are frequently well written and produced, and their makers are the new professionals while big Studios put out amateurish trash.

Wow! Ain't no way I'm sharing my film on here, compared to these beauties!
There you go Dave! I love seeing positive stuff. You've a great brain, enjoy seeing it used in this way. Thank you sir.
Thanks for the Rebecca Gold shout outs again Dave… keep up the great work 😃🙏👍
The drop-dead date for the current Hollywood business model is sometime in the 2030s, when the copyrights for these popular franchises start expiring.
The Viking Wolverine short and "Legend - A Dragon Ball Tale" are dope fan films too.
It’s only a matter of time until one of the fan productions gets more mainstream attention than the bulk of the official content.
Oh my god, the Batman Beyond Year one is incredible! This could have been you Warner Bros with this success of a live action Barman Beyond movie.
Block by Block The Amulet looks great and way better than WB’s crap Minecraft movie.
Rebecca Gold is a great pick. It’s the perfect time to catch up as Season 2 is finishing up post-production.
Highly recommend Splash Wave for professional documentaries on key games of history. Really, really well done.
Was that the kid who played Beast Boy in Titans as Terry McGinnis in the Batman Beyond film?
Thanks Dave, I have some viewing to do 👍
I dunno Dave, WB's Batwoman (She / Her) set the bar pretty high for the Batman franchise.
The Batman beyond short film looks awesome. Gonna take a pass on the Star Wars one though. Nothing against the fan film or the makers of it, just cant do Star Wars anymore.

this is awesome. great to see independent storytellers do their thing. I would love to send you my feature documentary to see what you think.

Of all the projects to bring Michael Keaton back for, never forgive DC for wasting it and not giving us this. This could be the sequel to his films.
Ian David Diaz aka MegaGeek is one of The Critical Drinker mods by the way
"Acting?" Are you sure it's acting? The Batman Beyond fan film could very well be AI Assisted. Looks good. Thanks for the recommendations.
At least they knew not to call the new batman Martin!!!
Buckheads shames Kathleen Kennedy's ability in every way.
The Batman Beyond one is terrible. Insult to the character!!!!! The other ones I thought were okay.
Dave please review blakes 7 🙏
Sad that all woke companies want is to make garbage like the new lord of the rings movie where the main characters humiliates every man she encounters including her father, easily kills the main villain and rides off into the sunset with her lesbian lover.

Why did you use your "WTF?" face for this? This is good stuff.
That's a fan film??
Samuel Cockings did the USS Halibut affects for my channel! th-cam.com/video/GMKGJJd4qdQ/w-d-xo.html
Batman Kalergi edition. No thanks

@TheDaveCullenShow This is a great series of videos. It would be cool if there was a playlist for them, so they can all be found in one place. 👍
