- Men In Black: International, was just an okay movie. It was not, however, a good reboot. In this video I went through some key elements of MIB: International and how they don't work in the movies favor for relaunching the MIB franchise. Have you seen the movie? What did you think? Let me know in the comments section down below!
Thank you for watching and a special thanks to my patrons for supporting me!

If you think I'm affiliated with the Men In Black you're funny.

*IMHO your idea for an origin story and overall concept was so much better than what we were given.*
My interpretation might be a bit off but IMHO the lead felt kind of like a MIB Groupie paired with an insufferable barely competent partner. The script was lazy. It felt like Fan-fiction. I fell asleep several times. granted I have narcolepsy but this time I welcomed narcolepsy with open arms.
nah man you gotta go on ao3 and you'll understand how much better fanfiction is
I really wasn't a fan of the line "why MEN in black?". It was too forced and didn't make sence to me since the movie was inspired from 2 men who wore black and asked strange questions about aliens. From what i've read.
Because "People in Black" doesn't sound as good.
@@matane2465 "Persons in Color"
SiCraft26: exactly. It was based off a comic book about 2 guys who fought space aliens, and other odd things.
@@testosteronic Men doesn't mean necesarilly mean men as in the gendre. Men is plural for people.
@@Yodalemos ya kinda like when people say "Mankind"
From how you described her backstory it sounds like this would have been a great backstory for an mib human villain
Can't have women being villains.
Dr. Dwight Manne i am just saying they had a chance to do something really neat like basically she could have been more of a mr glass type you know someone determine to do anything and everything to prove to humanity that she’s not crazy and aliens exist just saying they lost a great opportunity
@@dwightmanne nuh-uh, they can but there's a caveat. The villain can be a woman if, and only if, the main character is also a woman.
Dr. Dwight Manne: Tf are you on about
🙄kyu: Tf are YOU on about
This movie taught me about how my mom is like a bad movie radar-good/entertaining films are able to maintain her general interest. THIS movie had her asleep about halfway in. She's nearing her mid-60's btw
Lool my mum also fell asleep during this 😂😭
My dad (in his 60’s) falls alseep through most movies, so... 🤷🏽♀️😂😂
Dang, I wish I had that ability or parents with that. Sounds awesome
It's not Men In Black without Will Smith.
Remember the time travel plot in Men In Black 3 ? Well for your information, its _rewind time_
or Tommy Lee
Facts
I didn’t think about the fact that their names were H&M until just now. 😅
The trope of "absurdly-competent female character" is a really persistent one right now. It reads to me as "we want to get the feminist audience so make this character effectively infallible, and make sure its apparent shes better than the men around her"
The funny thing is that’s not even what most feminists want (actual feminists anyway). We want a character with flaws who has to learn and grow. We just want well written characters, lol not “girls are better than boys” because it’s not even true. Everyone is on an even playing field. It’s why I tend to always gravitate towards male protagonists with the occasional exception, because they have much richer and fuller characters.
YES YES YES BOTH OF UR POINTS ARE SO AMAZING
@@cinema_cemetery I think The Legend of Korra does women so so well. Lots of badass female AND male characters with believable flaws and desires. Such a great variety of women as well in that series
@@Alizyran but even then has a big faceplant in the first scene with korra bending 3 elements when she's 5 one of which is supposed to be her most challenging one then yelling at the audience im the avatar you gotta deal with it
It really bugs me that all female characters before 2000 get written off as sexist but honestly I can't think of a single one since 2000 that didn't make me want to stab my eyes
The hammer scene sounds so cringe! These are entirely different universes.
It was a bit cringe, but it was also the funniest scene in the film.
Doing her back story properly would actually create a good back story for a sympathetic villain character. She could have been taken in by a bad actor (a rogue MIB Agent like Alpha perhaps) and trained to infiltrate MIB in order to internally destroy it.
@Lucius Fawkes True. I was thinking sympathetic villian turned hero like Terra from Teen Titans, but I agree. Sumpathetic villians in general are awesome across every metric.😁
Hell yeah, some hydra shit
I didn't like the whole "Men? In Black" thing, but not because of "fragile masculinity" from my part, but because it was super cringy. Like, it's 2019, they should be aware by now that it's a common idiom to use the word "Man" to refer to the whole species. Sure, you can not like it all you want, but acting surprised at it is preposterous.
Yeah and theres man in woMAN too so
Man is also short for mankind. And there is the word man in woman too.
There's also terms like "Mother Nature," but you don't see guys like me crying "sexist against men." Cuz I honestly don't care and it's not a big deal whatsoever. There's way more important things in life.
It’s like when Justin Trudeau used the word peoplekind
It comes from a saying back in the 50s. A saying is a saying is a saying. It's like arguing about the term 'going postal' and saying it's no longer relevant nowadays. Practically every word we use has a past that can be considered irrelevant today. Otherwise good luck removing 80 percent of the damn language because "it's 2019"
It's the same for when I watched Kingsman and my friend got confused why it was named that even with a female on the team.
Most people don’t know this production was absolutely wreck by interference from producer Walter Parkes. So much of the script and plot were altered by Parkes that Director F. Gary Gray tried get his name removed from the film and both Hemsworth & Thompson hired script coaches to figure out the changes.
Yeah I heard similar things as well which sucks because F. Gary Gray seems to be a good director and Thompson and Hemsworth are both really charismatic this should've been a hit
I did not watch MIB International. I’m a massive MIB fan, and so it didn’t appeal to me. Something about it seemed like a whole different beast altogether.
I was really excited when hearing about it, me and my family love MIB, when I saw the trailer it didn't feel like a MIB movie, it didn't have that vibe I get from the other MIB movies, when I finally watched it it was like I was watching some ripoff of the original, it was just bad.
I haven't seen this movie because it didn't look like it was worth my time, but I got the impression that while filming Thor: Ragnarok, Chris and Tessa took a bit of extra time to film this thing, which probably should have been an SNL sketch or maybe a commercial, but not a full-length reboot film.
Emma Thompson took over the role of Zed in MiB 3 so she's the only returning actor.
Technically
The conflict of the devastation of what the MIB do’s to her and her family vs the “greater good” the MIB does would have been a great story and could stretch multiple movies..
You are a genius! Don’t take it to Hollywood though. They would find a way to screw that up.
I’m watching this while playing F.E.A.R
And I gotta say, hearing “tentacle fucker” while trying to get a head shot on Boba Fette just made my brain shut down, lmao.
Is it just me who was taught growing up that whenever it says "men" or "he" in a text, it means everybody? My dad read to me from a children's Bible from like 4 years old and he explained that anytime Jesus said "he" in a story talking about people, He meant everyone, girls and boys. Maybe that's why I've always felt it's weird and unnecessary to go out of your way to change the -man suffix to -woman for every single career choice. I've never felt I couldn't do a job just because the title ended in -man. So that "MEN in Black???" line irritates the hell out of me.
male is as default also, is a neutral gender. saying hey guys to a group of mixed gender is ok. plus look at the word perSON. feMale, woMAN, huMAN, MANkind. do we also need to change those words
Wait you mean growing up in a society like that didn't stunt your growth as a woman? /S
i mean. i think the men in Black thing is fine, but the reason those terms were considered gender neutral is because men were definitely considered "standard" at the time? you can't seriously argue that "man" isn't a gender or that "he" isn't a gendered pronoun.
@@Feteronii It goes back to the root language that Modern English developed from. Man/Men used to be fully gender neutral with gendered prefixes. Man being used as a prefix/suffix comes from this.
@@davidsmith7752 ... and your point is ??? i understand man as a root. but why would i use the old-ass fully ungendered definition when barely anyone does? the entire point of communication is for it to be able to convey your ideas to others. so why would i EVER use language that i know isn't clear and wouldn't be immediately understood by most people?
I *really* didn't like the scene where Agent H had to sleep with that alien in exchange for his survival, it was super dubious and gross.
I also thought it might've been better if Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson's roles were reversed, where Agent H is the rookie instead. He would be less jaded and a lot less insufferable.
Your idea for Molly having suffered bc of MIB and then being offered a job by them and being conflicted bc of it was really interesting, I would've liked to see that. (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡
Damn!!! I want, no, NEED to see your pitch of what the MIB reboot should have been!!
Also, I've discovered your channel 5days ago and now I'm binging all of your content 😁
You actually made a great point with that opening to her character. It could have been a struggle she faced all her life to the point where she subjectively villainizes the group in that she doesn’t understand what they do and why it might be important. As she gets further and further involved with the MIB, she starts to understand how it’s a necessary element along with it’s secrecy and thus finds closure in her experience. You see a lot of conspiracy theories and downright animosity towards all sorts of institutions that are based on public ignorance, so it’s not horribly far fetched and can be identifiable. The average Joe doesn’t realize what’s actually going on because they aren’t well versed on the subject, and so they develop mislead opinions which can sometimes go extreme. You could say that vaccinations are a decent example of this issue. A lack of in depth understanding leads to fear and opposition and of course questionable choices at least at some point or another. I haven’t seen the movie and likely won’t even though I grew up with the original MIBs, but it may have taken a slightly darker or just heavier tone which doesn’t seem like they wanted to do. The marketing made it seem more playful, so that’s my best guess. Either that or it was just lazy writing...
Im here for this opinion
*Reboots tend to make me long for/ watch the original.*
I thought chris Hemsworth's character wouldve been revealed to he secretly an alien the whole time cuz honestly there were some things there that made it seen like that but maybe I'm just reaching lol
one of the few things i like about it was the whole movie i was painfully waiting for the two leads to like make out or something but no, they didn't. so that was nice.
Rafe Spall is also in this actually watchable and witty rom-com called What If with Daniel Radcliffe and Zoey Kazan. Highly recommend!
“Hard to watch” parts = yup. Poor setup = Yup. Nice critique! Your end comments are interesting, though.
I was at a Comic-con where an actor accused fans of hating Captain Marvel and asked why fans didn’t give it a chance. The actor was surprise when fans answered:
1) Captain Marvel made over $1B
2) Captain Marvel has the sixth highest grossing opening of all time (now seventh)
3) No one in the audience hated Captain Marvel, and most had seen it & enjoyed it
The actor pulled out an iPhone, looked it up, and replied, “Wow. I thought it didn’t do well. It outperformed Justice League, every Thor movie, Joker, Aladdin, multiple Star Wars movies, Toy Story...”
Someone asked if the “Negative Fanboy” news was blown out of proportion as a free-marketing ploy, and added the movie opened better than two Avengers movies, Superman v Batman, Captain America...
I watched Captain Marvel on opening weekend. When I discussed it with friends at work on the following Monday, I was met with, “Oh no. You’re not one of those fanboys about to lay hate are you?” I said, “What? I enjoyed the movie, but what if I didn’t? We discuss movies all the time. Why are you attacking me now before I even begin?” They apologized, and told me they saw more news about “Negative fanboy” posts than actual trailers for the movie.
I’m not saying there weren’t negative fanboy comments that may or may not have been blown out of proportion. I’m saying it’s interesting and unfortunate how it even impacted your very good critique video.
I am so jealous of not only the Captain America outfit but how perfectly it suits you and you suit it. The nails matching the gloves. I can't even.
I took Molly wanting a bigger gun to be a reference to Will Smith & the tiny “Noisy Cricket” gun he was initially given in the first movie.
It didn't look very good and looked like it was riding entirely on that it was Thor and valkeiry
well I found your channel because you mentioned jenelle van girl and now I find you do movie reviews, definitely subscribingg
Omg same
16:53 "What if women were included in this?"
Because that's the problem- They already were included. At no point in time were there a bunch of men in these franchises saying women couldn't join. Many of the franchises, and stories, already included women and were welcome at the start. Like with the Ghostbusters 2016 they made it out to be some kind of boys club when Janine, and other female Ghostbusters, existed way before this movie. Then to paraphrase Red Letter Media, "They're a bunch of shlubby exterminators and con men" if they wanted to 'attack the patriarchy' then they could have picked a manlier franchise. When they relauched the cartoon called Extreme Ghostbusters, they had a female Ghostbuster with blue hair.
So the narrative of: "What if women were included in this?" is bs, because if people were paying attention to the franchise they never weren't included, and nothing keeps them from joining. It's outsiders looking in saying everything is wrong, when there's no issue at all.
No... women being present as background characters if you really squint and look for them isn’t actually real inclusion...
What she said was: “what if women were more included in this” - like as actually important leading characters (and not just in some random spin off for children).
And it’s pretty rich to say nothing was stopping these fictional women from joining... except the writers...?
"women being present as background characters if you really squint and look for them isn’t actually real inclusion"
It's like you read nothing I wrote at all. What part of "They already were included" don't you get?
" like as actually important leading characters "
Yes. This is what already happened. Marvel, DC, Image Comics and many other big players already do this.
"And it’s pretty rich to say nothing was stopping these fictional women from joining."
Well I was talking about characters and females (IRL) wanting to join the subculture. Like with the Magic the gathering card game its always been open for everyone.
".. except the writers...?"
Kinda. They can only write what will sell to the corporations and the corporations will only ask for what sells.
@Elvick as if there aren't secondary and tertiary characters that become people's favorites and spawn spin-offs.
It’s just “fragile femininity.” Am I doing that right?
Justin Ashman I agree, and their were also franchises with major female leads like aliens, terminator, and even Star Wars.
The only chuckle I had while watching this was the scene where M wanted to drive but got in on the wrong side of the driver's seat. I thought it was a little simple funny joke that they don't dwell on too much. If it were another director, she would get in the right seat and went on a 5 minute unfunny monologue about subverting expectation or something.... and also there's a kink in her Mary Sue-ness, so that's kind of funny too, I think :D
I had thought that Tessa T was going to be Will Smith's character's daughter from the trailer. Her origin in the film was boring. Your idea would have been better than what we got.
Your idea for the story really close to what I expected from the movie when I watched the 1st act. I expected Her trying to track the MiB because they practically ruin her life, by maybe tracking and alien first to lure the MiB out, and when they show up then she do the all "I've been waiting for this", and when they try to neuralize her, she's already competent enough to avoid being neuralized, and try to take them on, only to be cornered, of course, but the quarrel impressed them enough to recruit her into the MiB. And then the movie go on and disappoint the shit out of me
interesting point. how many jobs have chris had since the 'thor' business started where he did not in some way, shape or form, deal with hammers? :P
In my opinion, the only way they could’ve possibly made MIB International a bit better was if they kept Agent J (Will Smith) maybe have him take over Agent Zed’s place as the head of the Men in Black or in an equally high rank (Edit: or if Emma Thompson and Will Smiths characters were partners). Or even if he took a mentor/father figure to Agent M like Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) was for him starting out and it would’ve been just full circle connecting them if the writers and director wanted to keep them in the same cinematic universe as the originals.
Pfffft, they weren't shell out the Will Smith dollars
Will Smith felt happy with 3 movies. He said a while ago that he couldn't see the series being exhausted beyond that many.
I personally would love to see what you have to say about Hellboy 2019. I absolutely despised it and I feel like I would gain such a nice catharsis by seeing someone else that is passionate about the Hellboy universe rip it to shreds. I don't want to be all alone in my anger.
How can they have more than 26 agents????
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Bc it's MIB INTERNATIONAL! DUHHH! & they're using the Cambodian alphabet! 73 letters or some shi... Everybody knows that! [sarcasm] Stop tryna make sense out of a nonsensical bs movie, friend. We're obvi thinkin harder than the producers of this super trash! Lol
I’ve seen agents called AA and BB. That could open up some opportunities.
When agent AA hits someone is it referred to as AA battery?
X A 😏 good one
@@levi1929 Is there an Agent XXX then?
There are people called Ponds in this.? Why did I automatically think of doctor who 😂
not ponds, pawn
3:22 Hell, I can already see it: the only ones that remember what happened that night were her father and her. Thanks to an eye condition her father had, he remembered what went down that night, but acts like nothing happened. He reassures his daughter that one day they will get payback for all the pain the MIB have caused their family. Instead of the scene we get her discovering their secret base, have it (at first) go as normal...until she gets close enough to the stand in K, and our protagonist punches her across the face, screaming and cursing at her for all her family went through, thanks to the MIB. Her arc would involve what you just said. Agent H would even be forced to take on more of a support role, and maybe try to get her to loosen up.
I feel like you have a cool dad. Whenever you mention him, I’m like, aw, dads
The best plot for MIB: International is a videogame called "Control"
I had to re-listen to when you said “they made Agent H canonically a tentacle sucker” like 6 times before I was sure that’s what you said.
Agent O is still there and she's from the previous movies
Majority of people aren't really mad about a strong female protagonist, it's been done great before...when it was just about having a strong protagonist. It wasn't about the fact they were female, it was that they were admirable and strong. You can be a weak ass person of any gender, mentally and physically... being of that gender doesnt make you strong by default. Its what you do morally. Constantly looking for validation in movies when a female protagonist does something good just gets old and takes away from the impact of the action... not because of any gender, but the obvious pandering
This x1000
Most of Charlize Theron, Angelina, Milla Jovovich and Hillary Swank's are amazingly good and strong female characters, they are unapologetic and quite badass.
With franchises like The Men In Black that lots of people hold nostalgia for, they tend to get crazier when reboots change things. When this movie's trailer dropped there was whirlwind of rage online that a woman was taking a lead role.
A lot of people hated it before it came out and there were lots of video's/discussions dragging the film and the actress. So while the majority of the world didn't care enough to kick up a storm, there was still a large and vocal group online that did care and expressed a lot of anger that the protagonist was female.
There are so many great female characters, like Ripley, Sarah Connor, Princess Leia...
I like Leia especially, she is brave, always trying to stand up to men around her, doing traditionally male stuff, while not compromising her femininity and not being best at everything. Luke is "stronger in force" than her, Han is physically stronger and more skilled in flying, fighting, etc. And yet, she is still considered "strong female character"
I’m just here. ❤️
I truly wish the origin included one of her parents died or even both of them and someone innocent was framed and she spent her life trying to prove that they were innocent. And then maybe I don't know, found out she can't save this person because of the secrecy of the agency and had a much more interesting arc?
I was so hype for this movie due to the ln screen chemistry between the leads, i was convinced they could do no wrong and totally walked away from this movie learning i was wrong. So much potential that just got flushed down the drain.
Late to the party, newly subscribed. But love this! I don’t know how much time and effort you put into the alternative narrative, but it crushes what we got from a damn Hollywood production company. 😬
I tell you one thing. The fact that agent h was neurolised caught me by surprise in a good way. Because I spent the whole movie thinking that agent h was just being obnoxious with describing how he won the other battle and then I realised at the same time as agents h and m that he was neurolised. If anything, for me at least, the movie got that part right.
I didn't watch it because no Will Smith, not even a cameo. Which told me that like Independence day resurgence, would also be bad. And it didn't help that Liam told that wild story.
Dude I'm 3 minutes into this and I already want to see the movie *you* plan out
I avoided this video for a long time. I have been a fan of the men in black franchise literally since I was a small child, it was one of the first movies I ever watched, and it was my first special interest. I loved this movie, I thought the visuals were amazing, and I loved the continued alien creativity, also I loved seeing new main characters (I will always love J and K, but they were getting tired of the franchise, and it would have been sad if they were there tbh, they're too old for this). I cried the first time I saw it, and it felt like such a loving homage to the existing 3 movies. But you made some really solid points, I think you're right about most of it. I also realize my focus is the cinematography and effects, and I have a habit of caring significantly less about the story, and don't always notice that the story is week. I really enjoyed listening to your opinions about it ^^
Or hell I would have settled with an MIB version of Training Day instead of what they gave.... MIB is more or less intergalactic cops, so there are so many avenues that they could have gone down... They could have gone with an MIB version or Casa Blanca, and it would be better than what was given to the audience...
To me it was terrible...for so many reasons...but how did this go from a review to man shaming? I get some dudes can be hung up, but...that was a hard left.
yeah, that threw me a little too. I was interested to get what is usually a really objective, moderate view on a film I had considered trying to see, to all of a sudden checking if I’d been attacked/“checked”. I’m not sure I was because I’d never heard of anyone freaking out because “Men AND Women (or People?) In Black” had been postulated, but any attempt at social politics/justice etc in movies puts me right off. I want to escape this B.S. in our culture right now, not see it in Star Wars, Marvel, or other fiction.
I took it for what was, reductionist frustration, I mean why else shrug off something meaningless that she's over, it's not like it means anything to her. Meh, another day, another opinion.
I’m convinced they banged out the script in about 20 minutes
what if he took his glasses off dipped them in black paint and put them back on
what if my fragile masculinity is the result of shitty reboots?
mcgrewism
This movie is too forgettable to influence anything... but it was a shitty reboot.
How does your idea make me more excited to see a nonexistent movie than the trailer made me feel towards the actual movie? Like damn. I almost feel teased.
The biggest problem with this movie is that Tommy Lee Jones & Will Smith weren't in it
Good video. Please add more scenes from the film in your reviews. Makes it more engaging.
LOL @ your closing points. Look, I didn't mind it. I expected less than I got, so I was happy enough with a movie I didn't have to think hard about. Low expectations is key I guess.
Enjoyed the review. Anytime someone says we are relaunching a franchise I assume it's going to be horrible. That way when I rent months later and it's mediocre I dont feel the waste of money. I am glad I didnt see it in theater. I did like pawnie and the bodygaurd was the alien she helped.
See the problem with your idea for agent M, is that it doesn’t make her seem super incredible special.
You’re a bad b*#ch, I love how creative you are, and I know you’re good at writing interesting themes for movie scripts🙇🏽♀️ amazing how I can listen to you and you have no clips or photos and I’m so entertained. U have gained me as a subscriber mi lady, I would love to go to the movies with you.
I pressed like for the point out to the strap on reference in ragnarok lol
They were better off continuing with Hellboy 3 than rebooting it. What a stupid move.
During the intro and the aftermath of it really caught me off guard wtf xDDD
Emma Thompson appeared in MIB 3 and 4!
They had Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth - two actors with great chemistry and great comedic timing. Men in Black - a franchise with a lot of ideas and potential for new stories.....and didn't use it well at all.
I saw the preview and instantly disregarded the movie. To make a reboot that’s equal to, or better than what Smith & Jones made, they would have to pull out all the stops. I could clearly see that they didn’t, so I didn’t even bother to waste my time. The reviews of the movie sadly only confirmed what I saw in the preview. Great video 👍🏻
So this is the second time I've done this now because the first one was too long and I just want to say you are much nicer on your review on this movie then I am I'm a huge fan of the MIB trilogies as well as the animated TV show so this movie spits on my childhood and everything I love about this franchise.
Ridiculously terrible scripts are yet another side effect of hiring people based solely on Politics, color, gender, race, and creed, instead of ACTUAL ABILITIES/EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE.... Text book example of this: Lilly Singh.
Dez Demonah 😂😂😂💯 FACTS. This is a conversation modern day pop culture PC communities and Hollywood itself want to avoid.
You are a welcome antidote to a lot of the guys here -and it is mostly guys - who just are mostly sore at the representation and not really at the bad, bad stories. Because even the 'good old days' had lots of representation they just want to pretend they didn't. Our problem as you, and they in their more lucid moments, point out is not representation. It is weak writing, consistently weak writing.
The one good thing that came of this movie was Hemsworth's workout routine. Compared to the usual hardcore stuff they were traveling constantly for shoots so it's all doable at home and much sleeker than the Thor body build so it's not as intimidating for a beginner
Also doesn't bode well for a film when I walk out of the theatre and have already forgotten all the characters names despite the fact that they're alphabets
Your story is good ... much better than what they did
Late to the party but your idea for the origin story basically is Jesse from Control lol, would have been cool to see that here
As a fan of the Hellboy comics...saying the 2019 film frustrated me is a massive understatement...
I was with you up until the comments at the end. It seems really uncalled for to insult and criticize other people for not liking the same movie as you. Really, small penis insults? That's so childish. I doubt you would have made those comments before your popularity. By the way, I'm a woman, and I hate Tessa's comments about white men and I hate when movies put an overpowered woman next to a whiny or annoying guy. Come at me.
Ooh so brave.
I don't expect an answer from her but I wonder if Tessa is still part that fantasy now that she's been a vocal support of "Cuties."
Why did Molly have to be damaged? Hemsworth's character was damaged enough for both of them
When you said that they made Chris Hemsworth's character insufferable, it made me think of how thor acted with the guardians when he's leaving with them at end of endgame 😣. So cringy.
I love your narration / view of how the movie should have been
These first 5 minutes were SO funny
And your idea for it sounded a lot more interesting
But I took it as a fun kids movie
now i want an Amanda captain america spinoff
Yeah M storyline was completely wasted, but that’s the main problem most of Hollywood reboot now Focus on checkmark controversy then actual character. I agreed with most of the points with the review, but did you really have to go with the fake narrative of men don’t like female lead action movies. Come on now that’s not true please stop perpetuating the BS narrative.
“Fragile femininity”
Hope I’m doing that right.
Wonder if the comment will get deleted because people don’t recognize tongue-in-cheek.
Why should we care about the international aspect of this film? It's the MIB. They deal with interplanetary, intergalactic, hell inter-dimensional stuff. Why is a location change important when compared to the fact that we are dealing with aliens?
For some reason, reading this made me think that it would have been funnier to have agents that are just trying for a paycheck and are cynical with the whole MIB thing. "International assignments? Don't we deal with space? Isn't that as international as it gets?" and just totally not even trying when they neuralize people. Like they have some huge action scene and destroy someone's house, and they just do the flash and are like "Wow I can't believe you survived a tornado ripping through your and ONLY your house. Truly incredible. Anyways, see ya." and then just driving off. Give them some scenes of getting reprimanded and only staying in because they really need agents at a crucial time. Or hell, even have them get fired, but then brought back because of a larger scale invasion or something. Bit cliche, but that's how you reboot. It's been years since I saw MIB and I always feel that the lighter tone and non-serious attitudes are what made it so good. Sure you can have serious moments, but it feels like too many films are "We HAVE to do this. Now we HAVE to do that. The ENTIRE WORLD is at stake." I feel guardians of the galaxy proved a lighter tone with a less serious plot can do well.
@@Winasaurus Thw world would be a better place if people like you were writing movies
About the Rafe Spall thing, that was me too. Idk what happened either, lmao.
I honestly really liked the new MIB though I really liked your suggestions to make it better.
There was a new Hellboy?
How did you write a better scope for the script in 3 minutes than the actual plot of the movie
Ha ha, yes, same thoughts about Rafe Spall. I had to go look him up on IMDb.
I not only predicted the twist before it came (i.e. as soon as the twist villain was introduced), I was rooting *against* it. Reason being: I wasn’t able to predict the twist based on context clues or subtle foreshadowing. No. I predicted it based on *tropes and movies with the same type of villain twist*.
Watching this after I got my 1st vaccine shot! Thanks for showing up on my recommended and being watchable in public lol
It wasn’t the Marvel theme but it was the theme to Spiderman homecoming.
How DARE she take the Agent M spot from Micheal
He worked hard with those penguins to become Agent M
F==k _him_ ...and his hypothetical, "maybe, what-if, Neverland" bulls==t. 😠😡🤬
I didn't know this was a comedy channel a good reboot in 2019?!? That had me rolling.
I love your videos. Its thoughtful and intelligent
When I saw new men in black announce I was on board. When I saw Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth I was even more on board. Then I thought about it and watch the trailer again a week later and realized it was just gonna be a lame cash grab reboot. It sucks being right
Tessa Thompson is also in the 3rd MIB
If you haven't watched doctor who, it sounds like the Matt Smith era is something you would like and some of these interactions play out in it except as written by someone who has spoken to other people before. Hie tenure starts with season 5 of new who - give it a shot.
.. why does the harmless alien story seem weirdly close to Captain Marvel's? Idk..?
I was just thinking that. As is was being described I thought "Isn't this literally the same in Captain Marvel? Right down to them even doing evil stuff but only to the people they have to to find the FTL technology?" Feels a bit cheeky to not only take some star actors from Marvel, but to rip half the plot from one of their movies is a little much.
