The way you give your opinion regarding these movies really impresses me. Certain other content creators rant over movies like they're giant pieces of shits, or they praise something as if it is from heaven, however your opinion regarding each and every one of these iterations of Cruella, actually seemed genuine and real! In my opinion, that isn't something common nowadays as the formula of "attack the one universally hated" and "praise the one universally loved" is so obvious in this day and age, to the point where it becomes exhausting to experience most of the time. It seems as though people are no longer giving their genuine opinions on the things they enjoy, but just stating the popular opinion to avoid toxicity online. I'm just so glad we have a content creator who genuinely speaks his honest truth, as opposed to just stating the popular opinion! Huge respects to you for that Eric. In a day and age where some people are afraid to share their honest opinions regarding movies they either love or hate, im so glad that you're not shying away from how you truly feel about something, regardless of how some people may react! Besides the insane respect I have for you for that, the video itself was just as outstanding as ever! I was NOT anticipating a 3 way VS video as they aren't too common on your channel (and for good reason, due to how time consuming/difficult to produce they are), so I literally jumped out of my seat when I saw the new upload! This new video is such a major improvement in terms of quality, from your previous few 3 way VS video's, it definitely highlights just how much better you're getting and I cannot WAIT to see your future content if THIS is how fantastic your current one is! I'm astonished! I also loved the little minor details you added such as deliberately changing the background music to the Joker trailer theme, whenever Cruella was talked about and/or shown on screen. I loved those minor details! Brilliant work Eric! I've run out of words to express how much I enjoy your content at this point! How you dont have at least One Million subscribers.....I will never know...more people need to see your videos and your channel needs to get spread like wildfire! Regardless of that, I personally cannot wait to see your next videos you have planned! Keep up the fantastic work man! You have some incredible talents! :)
Glenn Close gets pretty close to recreating the original. She’s just as threatening. Not to mention she’s having a blast in the role and you can tell. Also, for western audiences who haven’t seen Black Adder, we know Hugh Laurie from House MD
I love the live action remake of 101 Dalmatians it’s that fact they kept it campy. Not everything has to be down to earth and gritty especially when it’s based off a kids cartoon.
Cruella's villainy (her character basically) comes from her wanting to skin a bunch of puppies; if they don't do that then all we have is your typical smug socialite fashion designer. I fail to see why this type of story was done with Cruella Deville.
Well actually her villainy was more that her obsession with fashion was such she basically had no morals what so ever to where skinning a bunch of puppies didn't even strike he as bad.
I think the scene that perfectly summarizes what went wrong with the Cruella movie is the moment she discovered that her mother is the baroness and went to the fountain, gives her monologue that seems to be perfectly transitioning into her evil narcissistic persona, and THEN that evil grin faded, she became sad and humble again and said "But I still love you" to the mother that raised her. This moment is the personification of what Disney is doing with their movies. Honestly with your video and the one that "Filmento" did about Cruella I am more convinced that this movie would've worked better if it was a original movie and not a origin villain story.
I didn't really see the problem with her still being humble bit. I do however agree that this would've been great as an original film instead of an origin, but I still loved this movie overall. But ah well I'd like to imagine this is just an alternate version/interpretation of Cruella. Kinda like with batman. Every actor has played the same character but it's not the same interpretation ya know? I'd like to think it's like that haha
Because its an origin movie of her becoming cruella , Thats why were getting a cruella 2 to see between this movie and 101 dalmations how she got to that point of her life, The first movie is only showing how she left behind estella and became cruella de vil so in the first movie shes still got that humbleness and love for people, Something else must of happened after she got the Hellman hall to her wanting to skin the 101 dalmations, First movie kinda shows it because dalmations killed her mother , the fact they announced Cruella 2 so soon after Cruella means that they already had it planned to do a 2 part or even a 3 part movie series , Cause lets be honest if she just went from mid 20's girl to a pyschopathic animal slayer in 90 minutes it wouldnt do it real justice.
@@QrazedGaming The Dalmations killed her mother but she never disliked or hated them during the movie, throughout the whole film she never even blames her mothers death on the dogs but to herself and only stopped when she found out it was the baroness that actually killed her. But i am curious if they're gonna turn her into the evil villain that everyone expects her to be or still keep being the anti hero and the whole plot of 101 dalmations isn't canon atleast in this universe (which I don't mind if they do, I very much prefer the latter for this Cruella).
Not trying to redeem anything like that, and then people also hate on it because she's not a puppy killer and loves dogs in the new film. They were not going to win either way it would appear.
@@WartyWarthogHogger The Baroness in the movie was more of a Cruella than Cruella herself, honestly I just find it impossible how are they gonna find a way to turn This Cruella immediatly evil, When this Cruella was an anti hero
But if you hate her the most doesn't that mean she's the best Gillian doing what she's supposed to do being a villian like how monsters and crap in shows if you call them ugly they like it if you khow what I mean
@@moon_shadowx12 I don’t know if that applies to this, as we are looking at two very differently written characters. By all means, both Cruella’s have the character parts necessary to make them memorable. However, even in that, the Cruella from the new film does not take the entirety of the steps necessary to emphasize her as a villain. Let me explain. With the older film, we have no reason not to root for her, since she’s going to skin the puppies. She is static and flat as a character, as that’s what the story needs her to be, but is written with quirks and subject matter so rich and uncomfortable, that she is very memorable. The Cruella of the new film, though classified as an anti-hero is rather static and round, refusing to give up, despite being thrown into altercations that put her down. She is endearing, but the elements of being static and round do not follow through to who she is destined to become. We root for her success over the baroness, but we are never left by the end with the sense of dread of the person she will become, thanks to lack of foreshadowing and retconning many of her characteristics and decisions. Take it the way many view the end of David Lynch’s DUNE from 1984, and the books. At the end, Paul Atriedes succeeds in overthrowing the emperor and stopping the malfunctions of the galaxy in the hoarding and feuding over Planet Arrakis. However, unlike the books, where his future undoing due to the phony prophecy of his position in the universe is heavily foreshadowed, in the message of second guessing charismatic leaders, the David Lynch film conveys Paul’s rise to power as a full hero’s journey, making his arc and character (inverse to Cruella) static and flat, rather than round like in the book. The larger point is that, a better villain isn’t one you hate more. Hate is a strong word. A villain is by all means, or at least a good one, is a character that makes us think. The original Cruella, though Cartoony and flat, often makes us wonder through her quirks as to what could drive a person so mad and insane. Cruella (the film) does not give us that, and tries to make Cruella into an antihero, a role that is undeserving at most, and needing of more steps toward villainy at least.
Am I the only one who's getting tired of this "remaking old villains into sympathetic anti heroes?" trend? At least in joker they make quite clear that Arthur despite having a sympathetic background, he's still the bad guy at the end, a tragic one, but still a bad guy notheless
Which as we saw with the Killing Joke, making the Joker Sympathetic wasn't anything new. We know the Joker is at the end of the day an extremely mentally ill man and we can understand and even sympathize with him, but that doesn't automatically make him an antihero.
I read a comment that said “I love how joker isn’t the villain, it’s society” I’m sorry but this guy didn’t pay attention to the movie. He does many bad things and at the end he’s the root cause of all the riots
@marius kristensen the guy who plunged the city into chaos and mass riots isn’t a villain? You are aware the point of the movie is to show how Joker became the villain. Yeah sure society is the “main” villain but you can’t just be like “Joker is not a villain”
I didn't really see Cruella in this movie as a misunderstood hero. I can see where you got the idea but I always thought of Cruella in this movie as a hero turned villain.
I remembered watching the 1996 101 Dalmatians when I was younger before I watched the animated one from the 1960's. I thought the 1996 live action remake was better than the modern day disney remakes. The animated one is also really good as a small disney animated classic. I never saw Cruella but it's one of the those modern live action disney remakes that nobody asked for. I recommend to stick with the original animated film and the 1996 live action remake I would also say 102 Dalmatians is good not great but it's also enjoyable
I mean I don’t really like the live action 101 Dalmatians, I do like 101 Dalmatians animations better and I really like Cruella but it’s just my personal opinion but I really like the way when you explain things that I didn’t agree with but for some reason keep wanting to hear your opinion and that’s really talented!🤗
I hate the fact nobody talks about the animated series from the 90’s And does show us a episode where we see a young cruella in a Christmas carol style *idk if the show would be consider canon but it the fact it’s still is the same character and it really underrated* 12:25 this was after she made a movie called fatal attraction *thanks to that movie was the reason why Glenn was chosen for the role of cruella. And the fact that despite being made years ago, people are still terrified of that movie. It proves how good of acting she did and the movie as well. Plus even kids are scared of learning that she played cruella to the point she made a kid cry because she did the laugh😂*
I recently watched Cruella. I honestly enjoyed quite a bit honestly for what it did. Especially for a modern live action origin tale. I guess maybe in a potential sequel they’ll address these critiques. Although I guess we shouldn’t have to wait for a sequel to get the Cruella de Vil we recognize. I don’t mind different takes of the character if it fits, but It’s very annoying how they take away there purpose of being villains. But, maybe a sequel will be just. The rise of her Cruella de Vil. I love the original live action 1996 101 Dalmatians myself.
I honestly loved Cruella. I like it the same reasons why I like Batman Returns. The story is clunky, the tone is inconsistent, they make major character changes that may turn off some fans (Batman kills) but it has style and the actors are giving their all into their performances. It's madness. Which I think a movie about Cruella should be. But I highly recommend watching Filmento's video on other reasons why I think Cruella works. But that is my opinion.
You forgot to mention the huge script hole that occurs at the end of the credits. Almost at the end of the film it is revealed that one of the three dogs is female and pregnant, in the post-credit scene Cruella gives Roger and Anita their respective dogs Pongo and Perdita, implying that they are the children of that dog (whose name is Genghis). The question is, wouldn't that make Pongo and Perdita brothers?
Fantastic work there man. every day I check of there is a new Eric Carter video even when I now it's going to be coming out a few days later. great work. 👍
@@sunitasarangal4156 Not right now I'm now. I have plenty of videos to work on right now and that video is not even on my mind yet. I might do it in the future but I have no immediate plans at the moment.
Absolutely agree on everything.....I still enjoyed Cruella as it's own thing, but as a origin story of one of the most evil villains in Disney pantheon is just laughable.
You sir are one of the only reliable film critics, alongside Filmento and several others. And, despite me not agreeing with all of your tastes, I still enjoy your stuff. Keep it up
Walt Disney himself had a problem with women/mother characters. He killed off Bambi's mum, Snow White's stepmother - evil, Cruella's birth mum - evil, Aladdin - not a mom to be seen, Little Mermaid - no mum, Pinocchio - no mum, Beauty and the Beast - no mum, Tarzan - mum killed, Finding Nemo - mum killed (though technically the dad could have turned into mum), Ratatouille - mum dead, Frozen - mum and da both dead, and Cinderella, -mum dead, stepmother evil. There's a lot more like this, and still some that actually the mum was alive and made it through the whole movie. But this still seems to be a thing. I think mostly to create a tearjerker moment (which actually hits home every time) to sympathize/empathize with the main characters.
@@madamesproete Let me rephrase my statement: I can’t believe they did something so stupid as make Dalmatians responsible for Cruella De Vil’s mother’s death. It borders on imbecilic.
101 Dalmatians (1996) is remake we never asked, but it delivered. -Cruella- _Estella_ (2021) is an origin story we never need, and it was just another desecration on old Disney gems, joining the horrible ranks of Dull of the Lifeless (2017), Jasmine (2019), CGI Tech-Demo King (2019), and Captain Mary Sue (2020)
If they make a Rescuers Live action remake, I’ll feel I’ve died inside. 101 Dalmatians and Rescuers stood out for me in the Rescuers and 101 Dalmatians with my family.
my ranking would be cruella 101 Dalmatians 1996 and 101 Dalmatians Dalmatians 1961 sorry to anyone who disagrees with that everyone got there own opinion remember also Eric carter your one of the reasons I’m starting to do film Comparison videos since I enjoy your videos even if your a bit critical to these remakes
I was curious to see how you viewed the female empowerment theme in Cruella, I thought it was a big improvement to other modern female empowerment movies
Same. Especially since most female movies focuses on making men bad. But when I saw Filmentos and Eric Carter saying how cruella handled feminism well I want to give it a chance since I want to do Diverse Joker but better and the feminist themes of cruella in a female led superhero movie.
@Shark War Okay, but why does everything with a female protagonist have to revolve around "empowerment"? If anything, that only further paints women as "weird" or "other" or "special", when instead we should just write them as normal human beings. _Inside Out_ had mostly female characters, and it painted them all as normal, and didn't make a big deal out of their gender. Same with _Punky Brewster_ , _Daria_ , _Hilda_ , _The Mitchells vs. the Machines_ , _Laverne & Shirley_ , _The Owl House_ ... Need I go on? There's nothing weird or special about being a girl; they're just people like you and me. I think it's about time we continued writing them as such, instead of just pandering to the "female empowerment" crowd.
@@themasterofgaming4149 Also, "most female movies" make men look bad? I mean, sure, most of the feminist-pandering movies nowadays make men look bad, but if you seriously think the majority of movies and shows with female protagonists are like that, then you really need to watch more movies, instead of just the ones the mainstream movie buffs and SJW pricks push onto you.
I know you didn’t like the cartoonish elements of Cruella, but personally that was my favorite part of the movie, it’s so over the top and campy that it’s really fun to watch and Emma’s performance was amazing. i feel like you didn’t take into account that Cruella, Horace, and Jasper are younger in the movie therefore their not gonna act like they do in the animation or the 1996 remake, I think that this was more of a story of Cruella the fashion icon, than Cruella the puppy killer which she would become when she’s older. I personally loved it, it was a really fun movie to watch.
Hey eric, can u review the 4 ip man movies? It is a martial arts franchise and it is an origin story for ip man and Bruce lee. I highly recommend checking them out since all 4 of the are really good action and drama films.
It’s been a while I’ve heard cruella is actually a good remake haven’t seen it yet still watching the mandolorian Eric and other stuff and talking to my friends on Instagram and will you be doing a video on a movie which for some reason I’ve seen only a little bit but not a lot it’s called coralline and I’ve seen paranorman and I liked it I might watch it before Travis knights come out created by Laika you should really do a video on their movies there stop motion animation movies and I like it a lot I feel like a kid going into this world for the first time and the soundtrack is going to sound beautiful and I’ve heard there doing live action movies now but with variety I’m excited I’ve seen a bit of kubo and the two strings I need to start watching these stop motion animation movies they look so good
I do have to say that the 2021 versions of Horace and Jasper got the body language down. That was the only part about them that seemed authentic.😆 If I were to vote which is overall the best I would have to go with the original. I love the art, I love the animation, the characters, the music, and the classic feel. 😄😊It came first so I guess it holds a special place in my heart.😁
Thanks buddy. I really liked The Suicide Squad movie. I am making a versus video of it so I will elaborate about it more in that video. As for Red Dead Redemption 2, I have not played that game. I really don’t have that much tie to play games anymore as I am just so busy.
I have a personal anger towards Cruella I remember as a kid my siblings and I were in a van that can play movies and we saw a trailer for 101 Dalmatians and my brother was actually scared of cruella and begged for it to be skipped that was the only time I saw my brother scared as a kid and for this movie to make cruella a sympathetic misunderstood character insults that to my very core
Personally I think that if Cruella would have been an anti hero for most of the movie then did something despicable in the end would have made the movie earn the title of Cruella
Is Scorpion's Revenge and Battle of the Realms and Spacd Jamand Space Jam A New Legacy on your radar of a comparison video? Although I'm not sure what movie you can compare to Black Widow though,God I hate and despise that movie.
God no not another live action nice vid. I ahve a few vid ideas Jurassic park vs lost world Jurassic park King kong 1933 Vs King Kong 2005 And last Godzilla 1954vs Godzilla 1955
How about a verses video about watchmen. Would love to see your opinion on the movie. The casual viewer seems to like it and the comic books fans don't seem to like it or has a mixed bag
When u compare cruella to the other live action remakes like Mulan it’s considered good but when u compare it to joker it falls hits it’s head then rolls and rolls and rolls then falls into a hole and gets buried alive
Glenn Close was PERFECT! She literally took the character Cruella from the animated version and brought her to life! Glenn Close IS Cruella! Emma on the other hand...well. I do love Emma, she's a great actress, and her performance was sold. HOWEVER! I didn't feel like she was playing Cruella, I don't who she was trying to imitate, but it wasn't Cruella. But like many others, my biggest problem with the film was that Disney was trying to make Cruella Deville sympathetic. Of ALL the Disney villains, why Cruella!? WHY? A woman who loves to kill animals for clothing, sympathetic. Not only that, but the word "DEVIL" is literally part of her damn name for God sake! And that's what I and many others loved about Cruella, she's a character you're SUPPOSE to hate! Not to sympathize with. Also, for some of you who don't know, the film Cruella bombed really badly at the box office. And from WHAT I'VE HEARD! It's Disney's biggest flop so far. Yeah, more so than the shitty live action Mulan film! But either way, Disney didn't make that much money back from it. Which is all good news for me!
The 101 live action remake the second by Disney after Jason Scott lees jungle book . was the first movie I seen in theaters so lot of nostalgia there and I love both the animated version and the live action but Glenn close makes it a win for me .
I have a suggestion for a future video. Do you think you can make a vs. video between The Jungle Book 2016 and Mowgli: legend of the Jungle? I like both movies and it would be interesting to see your thoughts on both of them.
it should be different tho, who wants to see the same shit over and over again, and we don't even know what's coming in the next movie👀 it was good to know a bit of the backstory of it all, maybe the next movie will be just as the old ones
Hey Eric thx for answering my question. I have a quick question. I was watching your it vs video and you said that during the third act pennywise got you angry. What scene did he get you angry? I mean don't get me wrong I was angry but not during the third act.
Don't mind me asking I really like your videos and especially the vs videos but when are you going to upload your black widow vs video don't mind but I am really excited for that don't take pressure take as much time you want all the best
Thanks so much for the kind words buddy. I've got the script and the voice over done. Now I need to edit the rest of the video which I will get started on next week.

The 2021 Cruella has its flaws, BUT I love how they gave Jasper and Horace actual personalities and character, than just being "Cruella's henchmen
It’s a great day whenever Eric posts.

I recommend to stick with the original animated film and the 1996 live action remake I would also say 102 Dalmatians is good not great but it's also enjoyable
Well said
Hey Eric! You should not only review Raya and The Last Dragon but also do a versus video between Raya and The Last Dragon (2021) and Mulan (2020)
Actually I want him to do a comparison between Raya and The Last Dragon and Moana, bc I think Raya had sort of a similar plot.
Thanks so much for this upload, Eric! I was wondering when we'd hear your thoughts on all three versions, and you didn't disappoint! 😍♥️
I mean I don’t really like the live action 101 Dalmatians, I do like 101 Dalmatians animations better and I really like Cruella but it’s just my personal opinion but I really like the way when you explain things that I didn’t agree with but for some reason keep wanting to hear your opinion and that’s really talented!🤗
Thanks Alex. 😊
You should make a three way versus of all the Conjuring movies
I felt the stella and Cruella thing was a souble personality thing, so I actually really liked how she changed personallity wise so often
I hate the fact nobody talks about the animated series from the 90’s
And does show us a episode where we see a young cruella in a Christmas carol style *idk if the show would be consider canon but it the fact it’s still is the same character and it really underrated*
12:25 this was after she made a movie called fatal attraction *thanks to that movie was the reason why Glenn was chosen for the role of cruella. And the fact that despite being made years ago, people are still terrified of that movie. It proves how good of acting she did and the movie as well. Plus even kids are scared of learning that she played cruella to the point she made a kid cry because she did the laugh😂*
I love the live-action remake. Definitely the best Disney live-action remake to this day
Nice to get another three-way versus video :)
They take a lot more work out of me to make. So I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
I recently watched Cruella. I honestly enjoyed quite a bit honestly for what it did. Especially for a modern live action origin tale. I guess maybe in a potential sequel they’ll address these critiques. Although I guess we shouldn’t have to wait for a sequel to get the Cruella de Vil we recognize. I don’t mind different takes of the character if it fits, but It’s very annoying how they take away there purpose of being villains. But, maybe a sequel will be just. The rise of her Cruella de Vil. I love the original live action 1996 101 Dalmatians myself.
Next Up Hopefully. Suicide Squad (2016) VS. The Suicide Squad (2021)
I how Eric uses the Joker trailer music when talking about Cruella 😂😂
I honestly loved Cruella. I like it the same reasons why I like Batman Returns. The story is clunky, the tone is inconsistent, they make major character changes that may turn off some fans (Batman kills) but it has style and the actors are giving their all into their performances. It's madness. Which I think a movie about Cruella should be. But I highly recommend watching Filmento's video on other reasons why I think Cruella works. But that is my opinion.
You forgot to mention the huge script hole that occurs at the end of the credits. Almost at the end of the film it is revealed that one of the three dogs is female and pregnant, in the post-credit scene Cruella gives Roger and Anita their respective dogs Pongo and Perdita, implying that they are the children of that dog (whose name is Genghis). The question is, wouldn't that make Pongo and Perdita brothers?
Proper term is siblings, but yes it's creepy.
Eric posts videos
"Everyone liked that"
You are so underrated you deserve 1million subs
Thanks buddy. :)
Fantastic work there man. every day I check of there is a new Eric Carter video even when I now it's going to be coming out a few days later. great work. 👍
That really means a lot. Thanks buddy. :)
Sure, I am getting pumped up for the next video. Keep up the great work
@@sunitasarangal4156 Will do. :)
Also I wanted to ask, are you making a conjuring 3 verseus video
@@sunitasarangal4156 Not right now I'm now. I have plenty of videos to work on right now and that video is not even on my mind yet.
I might do it in the future but I have no immediate plans at the moment.
Absolutely agree on everything.....I still enjoyed Cruella as it's own thing, but as a origin story of one of the most evil villains in Disney pantheon is just laughable.
You sir are one of the only reliable film critics, alongside Filmento and several others. And, despite me not agreeing with all of your tastes, I still enjoy your stuff. Keep it up
I was speechless when the Dalmatians killed Cruella’s mom. I couldn’t believe Disney actually went there.
It wasn't the Dalmatian's Fault, It was the Baroness.
@@slytheringuy0529 oh she was a douchebag
More like been awhile since Disney did that.
Walt Disney himself had a problem with women/mother characters. He killed off Bambi's mum, Snow White's stepmother - evil, Cruella's birth mum - evil, Aladdin - not a mom to be seen, Little Mermaid - no mum, Pinocchio - no mum, Beauty and the Beast - no mum, Tarzan - mum killed, Finding Nemo - mum killed (though technically the dad could have turned into mum), Ratatouille - mum dead, Frozen - mum and da both dead, and Cinderella, -mum dead, stepmother evil. There's a lot more like this, and still some that actually the mum was alive and made it through the whole movie. But this still seems to be a thing. I think mostly to create a tearjerker moment (which actually hits home every time) to sympathize/empathize with the main characters.
@@madamesproete Let me rephrase my statement: I can’t believe they did something so stupid as make Dalmatians responsible for Cruella De Vil’s mother’s death. It borders on imbecilic.
Also in Cruella the 101 domination story is a story in that movie and this movie is supposed to say what really happened
101 Dalmatians (1996) is remake we never asked, but it delivered.
-Cruella- _Estella_ (2021) is an origin story we never need, and it was just another desecration on old Disney gems, joining the horrible ranks of Dull of the Lifeless (2017), Jasmine (2019), CGI Tech-Demo King (2019), and Captain Mary Sue (2020)
I was actually watching cruella so I could see your comparisons but I got bored of the movie. Also thanks for uploading :)
It really feels good to see a good old vs video
My gosh it is so good to see you back Eric!
Amazing video Eric but would love to hear your thoughts on Loki. Could you maybe do "Let's Binge-Watch Loki" ? Will be waiting for that
If they make a Rescuers Live action remake, I’ll feel I’ve died inside. 101 Dalmatians and Rescuers stood out for me in the Rescuers and 101 Dalmatians with my family.
Do the animated dumbo vs the live action one
my ranking would be cruella 101 Dalmatians 1996 and 101 Dalmatians Dalmatians 1961 sorry to anyone who disagrees with that everyone got there own opinion remember also Eric carter your one of the reasons I’m starting to do film Comparison videos since I enjoy your videos even if your a bit critical to these remakes
You weren’t a fan of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Home Alone? Out of curiosity, what is your favorite John Hughes movie?
I was curious to see how you viewed the female empowerment theme in Cruella, I thought it was a big improvement to other modern female empowerment movies
Same. Especially since most female movies focuses on making men bad. But when I saw Filmentos and Eric Carter saying how cruella handled feminism well I want to give it a chance since I want to do Diverse Joker but better and the feminist themes of cruella in a female led superhero movie.
@@themasterofgaming4149 yeah
I like Filmento too
@Shark War Okay, but why does everything with a female protagonist have to revolve around "empowerment"? If anything, that only further paints women as "weird" or "other" or "special", when instead we should just write them as normal human beings. _Inside Out_ had mostly female characters, and it painted them all as normal, and didn't make a big deal out of their gender. Same with _Punky Brewster_ , _Daria_ , _Hilda_ , _The Mitchells vs. the Machines_ , _Laverne & Shirley_ , _The Owl House_ ... Need I go on?
There's nothing weird or special about being a girl; they're just people like you and me. I think it's about time we continued writing them as such, instead of just pandering to the "female empowerment" crowd.
@@themasterofgaming4149 Also, "most female movies" make men look bad? I mean, sure, most of the feminist-pandering movies nowadays make men look bad, but if you seriously think the majority of movies and shows with female protagonists are like that, then you really need to watch more movies, instead of just the ones the mainstream movie buffs and SJW pricks push onto you.
Very excited! Personally I enjoyed Cruella and I’m very interested for your thoughts 💛
I know you didn’t like the cartoonish elements of Cruella, but personally that was my favorite part of the movie, it’s so over the top and campy that it’s really fun to watch and Emma’s performance was amazing. i feel like you didn’t take into account that Cruella, Horace, and Jasper are younger in the movie therefore their not gonna act like they do in the animation or the 1996 remake, I think that this was more of a story of Cruella the fashion icon, than Cruella the puppy killer which she would become when she’s older. I personally loved it, it was a really fun movie to watch.
Wonder if you'll do a review of the New Candyman movie. Curious to here your thoughts about it and how it stacks up against the original.
Your content is so good
Again, great video!
Thanks! :D
I still hold up to the fact that Cruella told a new story and didn't do a shot-for-shot remake like they have done and will continue to do
Hey eric, can u review the 4 ip man movies? It is a martial arts franchise and it is an origin story for ip man and Bruce lee. I highly recommend checking them out since all 4 of the are really good action and drama films.
It’s been a while I’ve heard cruella is actually a good remake haven’t seen it yet still watching the mandolorian Eric and other stuff and talking to my friends on Instagram and will you be doing a video on a movie which for some reason I’ve seen only a little bit but not a lot it’s called coralline and I’ve seen paranorman and I liked it I might watch it before Travis knights come out created by Laika you should really do a video on their movies there stop motion animation movies and I like it a lot I feel like a kid going into this world for the first time and the soundtrack is going to sound beautiful and I’ve heard there doing live action movies now but with variety I’m excited I’ve seen a bit of kubo and the two strings I need to start watching these stop motion animation movies they look so good
I do have to say that the 2021 versions of Horace and Jasper got the body language down. That was the only part about them that seemed authentic.😆
If I were to vote which is overall the best I would have to go with the original. I love the art, I love the animation, the characters, the music, and the classic feel. 😄😊It came first so I guess it holds a special place in my heart.😁
Hey Eric nice video and BTW what did you think of the new Suicide Squad movie and Red Dead Redemption 2 game
Thanks buddy. I really liked The Suicide Squad movie. I am making a versus video of it so I will elaborate about it more in that video.
As for Red Dead Redemption 2, I have not played that game. I really don’t have that much tie to play games anymore as I am just so busy.
I have a personal anger towards Cruella I remember as a kid my siblings and I were in a van that can play movies and we saw a trailer for 101 Dalmatians and my brother was actually scared of cruella and begged for it to be skipped that was the only time I saw my brother scared as a kid and for this movie to make cruella a sympathetic misunderstood character insults that to my very core
Just wait until cruella 2 and cruella 3 where she transforms into a psycho like she is in the other movies.
Personally I think that if Cruella would have been an anti hero for most of the movie then did something despicable in the end would have made the movie earn the title of Cruella
Eric You should do one on the new scream movie vs the original or maybe one of the sequels ?
Is Scorpion's Revenge and Battle of the Realms and Spacd Jamand Space Jam A New Legacy on your radar of a comparison video?
Although I'm not sure what movie you can compare to Black Widow though,God I hate and despise that movie.
Great video as always
17:02
It's nice that he turned his life around, changed his name and became doctor House
Hey Eric I have a question! When are you planning to upload the sucide squad vs sucide squad?
I grew up loving the cartoon. & the new Emma Stone has become one of my new favorites
I really wanted to see Godzilla Vs Kong, vs Godzilla King Of The Monsters.
Hey Eric Can you do a binge watch video on invincible?
The 1996 remake is really the only live action remake I actually enjoy, it honors the original movie better than live action remakes of modern times.
when Lightyear comes out Can you please do a video of that vs Buzz lightcher of Star Command???
God no not another live action nice vid.
I ahve a few vid ideas
Jurassic park vs lost world Jurassic park
King kong 1933 Vs King Kong 2005
And last
Godzilla 1954vs Godzilla 1955
He should do a 3 way verse video on King Kong 1933 vs Kong Kong 1976 vs Kong Kong 2005
How about a verses video about watchmen. Would love to see your opinion on the movie. The casual viewer seems to like it and the comic books fans don't seem to like it or has a mixed bag
When u compare cruella to the other live action remakes like Mulan it’s considered good but when u compare it to joker it falls hits it’s head then rolls and rolls and rolls then falls into a hole and gets buried alive
Agreed. Because on the one hand cruella handles it's feminist themes better than mulan 2020 but on the other cruella is too kind to be like Joker.
your videos are very great!
Glenn Close was PERFECT! She literally took the character Cruella from the animated version and brought her to life! Glenn Close IS Cruella! Emma on the other hand...well. I do love Emma, she's a great actress, and her performance was sold. HOWEVER! I didn't feel like she was playing Cruella, I don't who she was trying to imitate, but it wasn't Cruella. But like many others, my biggest problem with the film was that Disney was trying to make Cruella Deville sympathetic. Of ALL the Disney villains, why Cruella!? WHY? A woman who loves to kill animals for clothing, sympathetic. Not only that, but the word "DEVIL" is literally part of her damn name for God sake! And that's what I and many others loved about Cruella, she's a character you're SUPPOSE to hate! Not to sympathize with.
Also, for some of you who don't know, the film Cruella bombed really badly at the box office. And from WHAT I'VE HEARD! It's Disney's biggest flop so far. Yeah, more so than the shitty live action Mulan film! But either way, Disney didn't make that much money back from it. Which is all good news for me!
I just love how he put Joker music when Cruella comes
15:41 just realized it’s Nandor from What we Do in The Shadows
The 101 live action remake the second by Disney after Jason Scott lees jungle book . was the first movie I seen in theaters so lot of nostalgia there and I love both the animated version and the live action but Glenn close makes it a win for me .
Hannibal movies (1986-2007) vs Hannibal tv show (2013-2015) or Hannibal tv show (2013-2015) vs Clarice tv show (2021).
I have a suggestion for a future video. Do you think you can make a vs. video between The Jungle Book 2016 and Mowgli: legend of the Jungle? I like both movies and it would be interesting to see your thoughts on both of them.
I suggest that the very next "Old Vs New" video shall be the two Space Jam Movies.
Your wish was granted
Nice video Eric! I was wondering, when will the sucide squad vs sucide squad come out?
Cruella should've been played by Kelly Reilly, Not Emma Stone. Emma stone is about as threatening as 101 Dalmatian puppies running around licking you.
I would LOVE to be in a room full of cute Dalmatian puppies licking me over whatever the heck modern Disney made!
The original and Glenn Close Cruella were scary but Emma Stone's Cruella isn’t she’s attractive instead
Well Cruella was like it attractive in her younger days
Love the video 🤩
Damn fire vid bro 🔥
The 1961 version of 101 Dalmatians is the best
hell yeah
Hi Eric I just wanted to know if you saw the trailer for Venom 2, What did you think of it.
Eric I a question about did you watch the Netflix daredevil if yes what do you think and why it better than the mcu Disney show
I mean her hair being like that the day that she was born is consistent with the book
Which I’m almost positive was a coincidence
Cruella is just the origin of Cruella De Vil in 101 Dalmatians
it should be different tho, who wants to see the same shit over and over again, and we don't even know what's coming in the next movie👀 it was good to know a bit of the backstory of it all, maybe the next movie will be just as the old ones
Hi Eric? I am just wondering how your black widow video is going. When do you predict you'll release it?
1:01 I thought you were going to say "baronet" for a sec.
Arthur Weasley: *Sees Harry Potter’s scar on his forehead* "Oh Look at the size of that scar"
i hear that at the start part of crullea Story u play the joker trailer sound in the backround
Awesome vidoe!!!!!
When is Suicide squad (2016) vs the suicide squad (2021)coming out?
Hey Eric thx for answering my question. I have a quick question. I was watching your it vs video and you said that during the third act pennywise got you angry. What scene did he get you angry? I mean don't get me wrong I was angry but not during the third act.
When the holidays come this year can ya do Jim Carrey Grinch vs Benedict Cumberbatch Grinch
Don't mind me asking I really like your videos and especially the vs videos but when are you going to upload your black widow vs video don't mind but I am really excited for that don't take pressure take as much time you want all the best
Thanks so much for the kind words buddy. I've got the script and the voice over done. Now I need to edit the rest of the video which I will get started on next week.
Will you do a versus video between Tom and Jerry 1992 vs Tom and Jerry 2021? Also will you do a versus video between nobody and John Wick?
