i hate movies that try to explain fantasy cultures through exposition. if these cultures REALLY existed.. why would they explain their own ways to eachother?
with fantasy cultures there definitely should be more show than tell, especially when most of the CGI went into animating the visual clusterfuck that was atlantis
It's the obky scenario that ever works, bit under very specific circumstances i.e when the subject of the film is esentially exploring another culture. In this case show, don't tell is the better option.
@@Here_is_Waldo that's different, but is still an excuse for exposition dump. You can show apprehension between groups through their looks/avoidance, by showing adherence to social norms, and by culminating clear distinction between areas. There's so much you cam glean from visuals, and when you have a movie (a visual medium) dumping exposition is just not engaging or fun. You're having a short story picture book dropped on you instead of seeing the natural exposition on the design.

They actually film at a higher framrate to sneak in a frame of rich evans into every video without anyone noticing. This way we get contitioned to love and rever rich.
Ad revenue is high in December (the whole fourth quarter, really) and drops pretty steeply in January. Even if they would get the same number of views, a video put out in December makes more money than it would in January, so they're pumping out as many videos as possible. I would expect to see a steep drop in their release rate pretty soon.

Did you guys know all of Aquaman’s hair and facial hair was CGI? No, Jason *Moana* didn’t shave. They digitally removed all his hair and then CGI’d it back. Quite remarkable actually.
Hamdon Nut the trick is to render every wrinkle differently. Just like real life no 2 wrinkles are the same. Yes it is very time consuming but well worth it when you see the end product
if i had a nickel for every time DC had to digitally alter someone's facial hair, id have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice
How about the reverse, when the actor is "aged up" and then NOT shown as their normal selves later? Of all the questions I had about Prometheus, that was the biggest one.
I think you guys missed Ocean Master’s actual motive. It’s not the pollution. Pollution is just the excuse. His real motive is that he wants to destroy humanity because he blames them and Aquaman for his mother’s death. That’s why he surrenders when he discovers his mother is alive.

Whenever Mike said, "I judge movies by how depressed I am" or whatever... that shit was so real. The whole point of entertainment is to distract us from the misery that is intrinsic to existence. Some of these fucking movies add to it! What the fuck, Hollywood?
Do you think movies can also teach or inspire? Can they show us a window into other lives and the human condition in general? Can they affect our perspectives and attitudes? Or are they really just mindless panacea? It feels like you have a very limited scope as far as what entertainment is.
@@DaniloSantosVieira That was his last sighting, anyway XD Besides AVGN, what other channels has he been on? I did see him in a short film a couple years back
I was a bit weirded out when Mera was complaining about the humans dumping their sewage into the oceans of the Atlanteans. If only the highborn can breathe air, this means most of the population has to poop in the water, and as we know, poop floats. They can't be doing that sitting down or else it would float up into their hair. So logically thinking, Atlanteans poop while they're swimming(probably at those high speeds) in order to dodge their own poop. So either they have grand arenas, let's call them "Poopariums", constructed so their people can swim in larger circles while pooping, or everyone just poops out there in the wild and they have no toilets at all(except maybe for the highborn). I thought about this a lot as you can see. I probably have to buy the movie and watch it again as I missed some scenes while thinking about this. Anyways, not many movies make me think about how people are supposed to poop, so I guess that's.. something.
Late reply I know but I always thought of this as a kid watching lord of the rings, I suppose they CAN most likely get their trousers off but do they just do it behind a rock or bush or something? Do they poop in groups? Goonies gave me an unrealistic expectation for portraying bathroom breaks while on an adventure. It would have been a good opportunity for Sam and Frodo of maybe Legolas and gimli to do some kissing shenanigans.
There’s so many ocean puns in this comment section by the time I got here I was wondering what it was about aqua man that you thought mike and jay couldn’t get it.

Yes! I just commented the same thing before I saw this. She mentioned it earlier in the movie. But I will say that I agree with Mike's point that it would have been interesting to still have a cutback from Aquaman fighting the monster to a quick line or two between Amber Heard and Nicole Kidman.
If it wasn't Mike having the stroke, it would really say something about the storytelling that they couldn't even remember those characters' names, much less their relation to each other.
Did they? Because it stands to reason that she was younger than Aquaman and Kidman had been banished for 2 decades. How would she have recognized her after all that time?
@@Not_Always Maybe cuz she was a Queen so im sure they had a photo or two laying around while they told stories of her especially if shes famous for going on land to flee from a arranged marriage to fall inlove & bare a son with a man who only breathes air lolll only to return to bare another kid then got banished/killed? Wait she was force to have sex n another son then they threw her to the wolves... holy shit They are horrible...Did Zack write that part? Anyway, they also made it clean in the justice league movie that the red head knew al about Aquaman & his family history, even where to get his mothers Trident .... thats if you remember that under water scene... which nobody does so lmaooo
For some reason I actually laughed out loud when Jay went "we get so swamped during the holidays" and then stared into the distance like a haunted 'nam vet.
@@TrekBeatTK Yes, you are correct, and there was also an episode of Voyager that had a similar race of aquatic people, though they were more realistic and less mermaid-y
Actually, funny enough, Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
I couldn't help but think it was a similar character. I already thought Pfeiffer looked ridiculous when they found her back, but, man... Kidman improvised attire was even worse! xD
Because Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic portrayal of Selena Kyle as Catwoman in _Batman Returns (1992)_ never happened? That’s why she “showed off her Catwoman skills” on social media, upon finding her whip this March 2019??
The film was good popcorn fun with a healthy side of ham and cheese, but at least it was self-aware enough to appreciate how ridiculous it was which made it more endearing. It's not the best comic book film by some distance but it held a balance between serious and camp that made the time fly by for me.
@@MarcoLongoMusic My thanks to you. Now, the amusing thing is, I was not mocking you in the first place. On the opposit, I really liked your post; gave it a tumbs up and my comment hailed your joke as the second viwer/first one among the rest of us. But as that apperently went over your head and made you angry and defensive, I'll leave this conversation in peace from now on ^^
The fact they're missing out on the legit BEST movie of the year, animated or otherwise, because of their biases is really sad. I've excused the lack of animated movies for the longest time but when they'd rather go see Aquaman for 2.5 hours, that's where i draw the line. What's funny is massive amounts of Aquaman and most Marvel movies too is pure CG, ANIMATION, which they've never had a problem with judging and analysing. Do they not see the irony here?
Jay's comment about being swamped while doing nothing was me last night when my store decided to stay open an extra hour on the day before Christmas and literally nobody showed up.
@@DaniloSantosVieiraYeah, because THAT'S not thirsty XD I mean come on, maybe Suzy should have known better than to say that (it was indirectly addressing a person and just referring to a celebrity crush I guess, and if it was just a joke then that's fine) but so should you, this is not a dating site, and we don't need to put every impulse into words, especially so creepily!
You guys are incredible. It's amazing to watch these movies and think about the same things you guys have the ability describe. You put these things into words I feel but can't put together.

Aquaman V. Bibleman - Dawn of True Cinema
Is that why Patrick Wilson was in aquaman? Just because the dude who directed the conjuring directed it?
taking itself to seriously. did you not see the octopus playing the drums. was pretty camp
The whole movie was camp. Also, RLM's suggestions to the plot are god-awful.
i am shocked they did not mention the drum-playing octopus
The drum playing octopus is a throw back to the comics, where Aquaman had an octopus drum-playing buddy.
Little Mermaid did it better.

Whenever Mike said, "I judge movies by how depressed I am" or whatever... that shit was so real. The whole point of entertainment is to distract us from the misery that is intrinsic to existence. Some of these fucking movies add to it! What the fuck, Hollywood?
Movies that make me want to kill myself improve my life. Movies that try to lift my mood just don't work for me
Do you think movies can also teach or inspire? Can they show us a window into other lives and the human condition in general? Can they affect our perspectives and attitudes? Or are they really just mindless panacea? It feels like you have a very limited scope as far as what entertainment is.

11:00 - In Aquaman, there's a Lovecraft book in the opening flashback on the coffee table.
I was a bit weirded out when Mera was complaining about the humans dumping their sewage into the oceans of the Atlanteans. If only the highborn can breathe air, this means most of the population has to poop in the water, and as we know, poop floats. They can't be doing that sitting down or else it would float up into their hair. So logically thinking, Atlanteans poop while they're swimming(probably at those high speeds) in order to dodge their own poop. So either they have grand arenas, let's call them "Poopariums", constructed so their people can swim in larger circles while pooping, or everyone just poops out there in the wild and they have no toilets at all(except maybe for the highborn). I thought about this a lot as you can see. I probably have to buy the movie and watch it again as I missed some scenes while thinking about this. Anyways, not many movies make me think about how people are supposed to poop, so I guess that's.. something.
Late reply I know but I always thought of this as a kid watching lord of the rings, I suppose they CAN most likely get their trousers off but do they just do it behind a rock or bush or something? Do they poop in groups? Goonies gave me an unrealistic expectation for portraying bathroom breaks while on an adventure. It would have been a good opportunity for Sam and Frodo of maybe Legolas and gimli to do some kissing shenanigans.
Poop doesn't always float.
I’d say Mike and Jay might be out of their depth reviewing this movie.
Yeesh
They certainly dove into the deep end.
That pun is leagues better than the one I thought of.

Aqua Man didn't need to introduce Nicole Kidman's character to Amber Heard's because they already knew one another.
Thank you. I scrolled to see if someone pointed that out. She knows her better than she knows Aquaman.
Yes! I just commented the same thing before I saw this. She mentioned it earlier in the movie. But I will say that I agree with Mike's point that it would have been interesting to still have a cutback from Aquaman fighting the monster to a quick line or two between Amber Heard and Nicole Kidman.
If it wasn't Mike having the stroke, it would really say something about the storytelling that they couldn't even remember those characters' names, much less their relation to each other.
Did they? Because it stands to reason that she was younger than Aquaman and Kidman had been banished for 2 decades. How would she have recognized her after all that time?
@@Not_Always Maybe cuz she was a Queen so im sure they had a photo or two laying around while they told stories of her especially if shes famous for going on land to flee from a arranged marriage to fall inlove & bare a son with a man who only breathes air lolll only to return to bare another kid then got banished/killed? Wait she was force to have sex n another son then they threw her to the wolves... holy shit They are horrible...Did Zack write that part? Anyway, they also made it clean in the justice league movie that the red head knew al about Aquaman & his family history, even where to get his mothers Trident .... thats if you remember that under water scene... which nobody does so lmaooo
That 'plucky music' makes me think of Desperate Housewifes.
For some reason I actually laughed out loud when Jay went "we get so swamped during the holidays" and then stared into the distance like a haunted 'nam vet.
This reminds me what we called the ocean in the Navy: "the big blue trashcan"

@@TrekBeatTK Yes, you are correct, and there was also an episode of Voyager that had a similar race of aquatic people, though they were more realistic and less mermaid-y

Marvel - Michelle Pfeiffer

I couldn't help but think it was a similar character. I already thought Pfeiffer looked ridiculous when they found her back, but, man... Kidman improvised attire was even worse! xD
Yeah literally the same situation.
Because Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic portrayal of Selena Kyle as Catwoman in _Batman Returns (1992)_ never happened? That’s why she “showed off her Catwoman skills” on social media, upon finding her whip this March 2019??
@@kneau huh?
@92brunod I'm just a fangirl for Michelle Pfeiffer's portrayal of DC's Catwoman.
The film was good popcorn fun with a healthy side of ham and cheese, but at least it was self-aware enough to appreciate how ridiculous it was which made it more endearing. It's not the best comic book film by some distance but it held a balance between serious and camp that made the time fly by for me.

Eh I doubt they would get much out of it. Spider-verse seems more tailored towards fans of the different spider men
Johnny Scissors it seems tailored towards people who like good movies, I don't give a shit about the different Spider-Man and I loved it
Rich evans talks about into the spiderverse!
The fact they're missing out on the legit BEST movie of the year, animated or otherwise, because of their biases is really sad. I've excused the lack of animated movies for the longest time but when they'd rather go see Aquaman for 2.5 hours, that's where i draw the line.
What's funny is massive amounts of Aquaman and most Marvel movies too is pure CG, ANIMATION, which they've never had a problem with judging and analysing. Do they not see the irony here?
