The Time Everyone Tried To Copy Hunger Games

my name is pinley but it's spelled in a dumb way like K it may not look like it but I'm actually 15 years old in our society every teenager is forced to sit down and watch 11 teen dystopian movies our power suppli is run by other teens just like me ranking these movies so that's what I'm going to do now okay these are the rules we're only talking about Teen dystopias which means young adult movies which are taking place in like a bleak future that probably says something about today's society specifically the ones that count the big three franchises that dominated the 2010s back when I was a teenager that means four Hunger Games three diversion three Maze runer and now you're like oh but you said 11 movies for the power supply thing well with the new Hunger Games coming out I'm a bit hopeful that this once great genre is about to make a comeback so after I watch these 10 movies I will go to make sure that our future is not a dystopia by watch by watching the new Hunger Games I'll just I'm just going to go and watch the new Hunger Games and I'm just going to go and make sure that it's good if you guys like this and subscribe and all that I'll do one where I talk about all the ones that weren't good enough for a franchise as well Hunger Games the mother of the Teen dystopian franchise Mama Mia this right here was the [ __ ] when I was a teenager and it still is let let me tell you right here the book more so than the movie but I I still like the the movie it's it's a good movie boom Jennifer Lawrence says Katniss everine what a great performance ladies and gentlemen boom there are 12 districts one Capital that's a [ __ ] and everyone there is dressed up like a clown these [ __ ] just take two kids from each district and make everyone fight to their death once a year like in fortnite suzan Collins the author of the book she got uh special intel some inside industry info that they're going to make fortnite and she was like I got to capitalize on this uh a few years before they make this incredible game I'm going to be spoiling a lot of things in this movie and all the movies that we're going to talk about so uh watch out but yeah all in all grew up on this movie casting in this movie and all the movies in this franchise is pretty great Josh uh Hutson I think I think he's great we can focus on a billion different details but I actually just want to talk about one one thing so at the beginning of the movie we establish that Katniss and her boyfriend Gail who we'll talk about later on but Katniss is really good with a bow and arrow she's really good at hunting which obviously in a situation where uh a bunch of kids need to like murder each other that's good that's you need you need to be good with a thing that kills people but for PETA who sent into the games with her what we establish is that he's really good at painting because he makes cakes he's a baker and when I watched that I I had a like I was thinking in my head what when are you going to like people are going to try to kill you to distract them you're going to draw like a like a penis on their face and they're going to be like what well no this whole buildup with Peta being good at painting accumulates in this incredible scene after some time where cat and Peter are separated Katniss walks into like this area next to a river or something like that and Peter he's there as a rock Peter is there and he's a he painted his face to look like a rock during his injury he took the time to to paint himself as a rock how did he do this to himself to his face well he's he's injured also he's a baker in one of like the poorest districts he's making like the driest sort of most stale breads possible he's not decorating like fancy ass wedding cakes like that in this movie we also get like a slight glimpse into the love triangle that's going to happen in the rest of the movies in this one I feel like it's done pretty Tastefully katness has been dating Gail before she went into the games but once they start getting into the the whole Hungry Games Vibe Peta and Katniss need to sell the idea that they have some sort of a relationship to help with people at home sponsoring them and sending them you know medical supplies and paint supplies as well I guess so we get this really interesting Dynamic where in this film we're not sure if Katniss is really in love with Peta or not or if she's just doing this for the cameras but Peta he is actually in love with her so you know it's it's a little it's a little interesting sort of uh thing going on my biggest problem with this movie is that sometimes because they're trying to kind of fit in so many events from the books it kind of feels weird like the pacing of it all for example and again spoilers I remember I cried when uh ru's death scene happened in the books when you read them you get the real sense that her and Katniss have spent a lot of time together in the movie I think they spent like five minutes together and then she dies and I'm like okay I feel like if we spent more time in the games which is in my opinion the most interesting bit of these movies then you know I I feel like that would be better I don't really see a lot of importance in just trying to tick off every single event that happened in the book just because it happened I think more time in the games and less time in the capital would have been better at the end of this both Peta and catniss uh managed to to live because they say that they're going to eat some poisonous berries and the people operating the game are like whoa whoa you can't don't do that it's going to make this game look stupid would I have survived the Hunger Games um absolutely I'm also pretty good at drawing admittedly not as good as Peta is what I would have done is paint myself and make myself look like a uh like a knife and then people would carry me around the whole game that way I'll still be within the zone of the games and then at the end of it I'll be like hey I'm actually a human I'll pull out my little knife stab the the the uh the winner so dystopian pinely spelled with a K what are you doing looking for a bad habit to deal with my pain oh maybe you should stop that what you got to use mind control to to to control me never what no today's sponsor fume is looking at this problem differently not everything about a habit is wrong so instead of a drastic uncomfortable change you can just remove the bad part of it all fume is completely natural zero Electronics I like that instead of disgusting bad for my lungs Vapor filled with horrible addictive garbage I just use flavored air and instead of harmful chemicals use delicious delicious flavors your fume comes with an adjustable airflow dial and is as design with movable parts for you to fidget with which is good for de-stressing while breaking your habits when I tried it it really surprised me how tasty and flavorful it is you can really taste the orange in this one go to

and after that you can still use my code for 10% off Hunger Games 2 I think it's called Catching Fire cuz her dress is like on fire at some point so Katniss is a bit of a celebrity in this one the whole uh stunt with the poisonous berries has made everyone be like whoo I think we're going to make this person or uh uh icon for this Rebellion that we're we're going to do in the next movie in many ya uh novels slm movies we get this phenomenon where with each movie where we see our protagonist we kind of see this mountain of trauma just kind of Stack up we're at the end of the series our main character is sort of like a shell of who they used to be it's actually pretty horrifying President Snow the bad dictator guy really wants Katniss to die now he's a bit pissed off that she's like a symbol now he doesn't he doesn't like that at all he's pretty great in those movies look at this they're holding hands I want them dead so he wants Katniss to die but you know in a way where like it won't cause more Rebellion cuz that would uh kind of suck that would kind of suck on his end that's kind of the whole thing that he's trying to avoid so what he does and I absolutely love the concept of this is he decides to do an Allstar season of The Hunger Games all the past winners all these people who've just just had this horrible traumatic uh kind of life one of these people is like a 70-year-old woman who doesn't speak and you know they bring her back as well and yeah we're essentially supposed to see who's the hungriest of the hunger uh Gamers is it going to be that 70-year-old woman or will she just kind of walk into a fog of poison and die uh we'll never know would I have survived the events of this teen dystopia um I don't think so these Hunger Games are just a load of dog [ __ ] let's talk about poison is fog for a second poisonous fog what is this load of horeshit they're sleeping and you're sending poisonous fog after them what the are they even supposed to do president know you have completely lost the plot this isn't what the Hunger Games is about they somehow escaped the poisonous fog I would have died in that bit already cuz I would have just been asleep and then a poisonous fog would have [ __ ] killed me about 5 minutes after that they got a bunch of crazy little monkeys chasing them down crazy little rabid monkeys how is that fair and after they managed to run and escape from the monkeys the Crazy Monkeys they go to the shore and a tsunami is about to kill them but then it's only like a tiny tsunami AKA a wave uh so they're fine I get I get the whole thing right I get it they they did there's a thing and all the all the traps are actually there's that the arena is like a clock or whatever and The Traps are set off at certain times I don't give a [ __ ] this is about the dynamic between all the the kids and the 70-year-old woman who are trying to murder uh each other no one gives a rat's ass about the poisonous fog you've completely removed the Integrity of these games President Snow you dick bag love triangle update in this one Gail is uh starting to become a little [ __ ] if you're team Gail and you're in my comments what is wrong with you Gail is like o Katniss I can't believe that you kissed Peter that makes me so sad Katniss you dick she was going to die she was she was sent to a game where everyone needs to murder each other what the is wrong with you she managed to save her life and the life of a friend and you're like oh I can't believe you kissed him shut up with your ya [ __ ] man I do love this movie though I think it might be my favorite one in the whole series I think I prefer the core plot of the first one but as a movie everything here feels uh just a lot more cohesive everyone who made this is kind of like in their element now and the ending of this where catniss shoots a an arrow into the thing and then the whole Arena uh like shuts down and then this happens you have been our mission from the beginning the plan was always to get you out half the tributes were on it this is the Revolution and you're the Mocking Jay I was losing my [ __ ] when I read this part in the book there's a revolution hey Mitch is there I didn't mention hey Mitch up until this point in the video I realized but hey Mitch is there and then Gail says this [ __ ] there is no District 12 it's all gone and then Katniss is trembling like a storm ising brewing inside of her I was hyped as hell for the next one Hunger Games 3 this series was making a lot of money they didn't want it to end so they split the last book into two parts Harry Potter Style and what we get out of this is uh like two movies that are just just really stretched out just the plots of the are really really stretch thin for absolutely no reason besides the fact that you know they made another $600 million or whatever so Katniss is brought into District 13 you know how I said at first that there's only 12 districts uh well I actually uh lied to you to trick you at the beginning of the story we think that the capital blew up District 13 cuz they rebelled against them but actually District 13 they're they're around they're just living under a bunker now and we spend most of the movie inside of this bunker and it it feels it feels like a bottle episode really and it's not like nobody cared about these movies it's just the Practical side of it shouldn't have been this long I think we got some of Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence's best performances in this series they're just so [ __ ] up at this point it's pretty horrifying to see so after the last games were disrupted by kiss's Arrow we find out that only she got rescued uh but Peta was not Katniss is kind of losing her mind over this she's like where's Peta where's Peta and after a while we suddenly see him I want everyone who's watching to stop and to think about what a civil war could mean we almost went extinct once before and you know he's saying all this stuff that the capital clearly put in his mouth but instead of understanding this everyone starts being being like get it he's one of them he's one of the bad guys guys this is the same Capital that makes children uh murder each other for a reality TV show do you really think that like torturing a person and altering their brain is beneath them Gail comes into the room with a I told you so kind of face shut up Gail did you see what he looks like thank you I saw a coward for being you don't have any idea what he's going I don't care I would never say what he just said well whoa whoa whoa whoa shut the hell up Gale before I smack your head with my fist I hate this guy more than I hate President Snow this guy is a [ __ ] The Love Triangle stuff here is really dumb at this point all these characters are so like messed up and we're still focusing on this like dumb rivalry this happens right after Katniss sees uh the the a es of her entire District every single person that she knew what what this is dumb this is very dumb kissing is dumb and this isn't a thing either he tries to like murder her at the end of this movie they they they manag to uh take him back from the capital he like chokes her and he tries to kill her so that's not really great I think I do really like the whole focus on how uh Philip seore Hoffman tries to turn catniss into this sort of uh propaganda piece essentially how do we create this bigger than life image of this person who in reality is not perfect it also shows us that this universe has the option to pre-record videos um something that I think the capital should know about all of the events of Hunger Games probably wouldn't have happened if the capital stopped doing uh live broadcasting and I really mean it it's almost every single event in this movie while Peta is being interviewed to do Capital propaganda he tells Katniss hey they're about to to bomb District 13 they're coming Katniss they're going to kill everyone and in District 13 you'll be dead by warning he's warning us the whole thing with the berries in the first movie like they could have avoided the whole stress off of that by just like I don't know pausing the whole thing and being like hey you can't do that everyone knowing that catniss shut down the Hunger Games with her Arrow all the victors holding hands in unity live on air to to kind of put pressure on stopping the games I want them dead this scene from the second one how many people saw it hard to say there was a 5-second delay but 5 Seconds you're just working with a 5-second delay guys you're a you're a dictatorship making kids kill each other in an island is is not beneath you uh so why is the moral line drawn at live broadcasting I guess you could say that you know this is like just a result of their hubris right they don't care about live broadcasting everything but that's dumb as [ __ ] there are like six or seven major events throughout all these films that drive the plot forward and lead to the fact that you know that the capital was taken down that wouldn't have happened if they just didn't broadcast it live I mean when we see the rebels film all the propanda stuff we see that they have pretty good like CGI abilities this is where their integrity lies no we're going to scream these entire events we can't lie to the people instead of when we uh brainwash a guy and make him lie to the people one last thing every time they show Peta on TV CIS is like oh my God he's not doing very well and Josh hon he didn't like actually physically lose weight for those moments which is absolutely fine but instead said what they did is that they both CGI him to make him look skinnier and they also make his his collar look Tighter and Tighter every single time and by the last one he kind of looks like a court jester Hunger Games 4 so you know how I said that pedo was rescued from the capital well we find out that this was apparently all parts of Snow's plan apparently snow thought that the most effective way of getting Katniss killed is to essentially brainwash Peta using uh bees with mind altering poison to get him to want to kill Katniss that's why he goes and chokes her at the end of the last movie that in his mind is the easiest way of killing her in a base filled with people with guns but this isn't the end of this you see coin the leader of District 13 and the rebels she knew that this is the situation that's why she risked her Force to send them to go get Peta from the capital uh because she knew that if Peta killed her and not if she killed her that way Katniss won't be able to run against her in the presidential elections that will happen after the event of Hunger Games 4 so what they do is that they then decide to send Peter alongside with Katniss onto this uh propaganda mission in the middle of a war zone Peta is this mental unstable man who was tortured with mind altering poison bees and he isn't sure what reality is they put him in a battlefield which pans out really well yeah he murders one of the guys on the team so that that went really well this movie isn't as bad as I thought it would be uh but I really miss them doing like a hunger game at this point they sort of try and do it you know we we see some like traps that the hunger game makers made but those are the bits that I like the least out of The Hunger Games I don't give a [ __ ] about those traps I just want to see people going at it you know fortnite style Gail is here again and I still don't really like him his first thought after seeing Peta in the horrible state that he's in is huh what how that's going to affect This Love Triangle I don't stand a chance if he doesn't get better he'll never let him go listen I I really think that there are more important things going on right now leave this poor girl alone really she's been through so much listen I still definitely enjoy this movie and I think that as a franchise these four films are pretty solid yes it gets stupid and it gets convoluted but the core things still work pretty well there's a reason the Hunger Games are as big as they are if you're wondering the winner of the love triangle is PETA him strangling Katniss in the last one did deduct some points away from him but in this one uh Gail probably bombed Katniss's sister in the books he definitely knew about it in the movies he's like oh I'm not sure I'm not sure if I knew about this goodbye Gil but yeah sucks to suck Hemsworth you [ __ ] I don't think the actual I don't think the actual actor is a [ __ ] I don't I don't know him okay guys I think we all have to admit these these aren't very good this movie's fun I'll admit that I had a good time watching it it's a fun action movie with a lot of things that I like in it that I've already seen in other places first clue to how confident they were in this movie is when it started arts and you find out that it was apparently like H Zimmer was involved in this and let me tell you you can really feel his involvement in the making of This [Music] film now imagine a movie like this there's this world where when teenagers arrive to a certain age they get divided to certain uh different groups essentially in some sort of ceremony and every single one of these groups has sort of a different meaning a different sort of Personality attribute there's like a brave one there's a a one for smart people but our main character is a bit too special for that they don't fully fit within that category sadly though both of the parents of of our main character end up dying and also the factor slome SL District that our uh characters from gets eradicated the dystopian leader of the area where the story takes place has sort of set a notion that beyond the borders of where everyone lives there's essentially nothing the outside district is essentially gone but in a later film we find out that that's not true now you may think to yourself pinley you just described two different movies but no I just described one movie that rips off those other two movies [ __ ] Divergent so yes this movie has four different factions I couldn't for the life of me remember the names of them even after watching three of these movies but luckily uh Google exists so I will read it off of that now the factions are The Dauntless who are supposed to be the brave we have Amity who are the kind we have audite who are the intelligent and abnegation who are uh the selfless and also Candor who are the Hest the ha why did I pronounce the h like that crap names compare that to something like liin you know that's that sounds that sounds like a bad guy so our main character Tris when she becomes 16 on this appointed day she needs to take like a drug or something which is supposed to be part of a test to determine which factor is does she belong to factor faction I'm probably going to get the two words confused but it is faction we find out that apparently she fits with all the factions which makes her uh Divergent the name of the movie her being a Divergent is apparently bad but I I I don't I I don't think I ever got like a good explanation as to why they said that the factions were made to like maintain peace in a very vague way but in practicality in the actual ceremony that's after the test the the kid is allowed to pick whatever faction they godamn please so what so these people who can come from whatever home whatever Place whatever whatever area they all live in Chicago whatever area in Chicago they can pick whatever place they want to so why in God's name would that help keep peace that doesn't that doesn't make any sense what is this test anyways is it just like a like one of those like stupid personality tests is it is it like a BuzzFeed quiz besides being able to like shoot a gun well which is something that our main character trains for we don't really like like I don't get what makes her special the action scenes are fun I enjoyed them and I enjoyed a lot of this movie but all throughout the back of my head I was like none of none of this makes sense none of like a none like like it's it's not it's nothing so Trish even though she comes from abnegation who are the selfless sure she decides to to go with dauntless the brave she can't tell anyone that she's actually a diverse ENT because then she'd be like shot or something because everyone in this in this movie is a [ __ ] also I'll say this I don't think that audite are really that intelligent because uh tris's brother is in that and he's like this bumbling [ __ ] throughout this throughout throughout this entire Series so yeah The Dauntless are a pack of weirdos but they're clearly supposed to be very cool they're just jumping off of trains the entire time like throughout this whole movie it's specifically trains they're jumping onto trains off of trains from like a building to like a like a net stop relax what are you doing when they're showing Tris her living quarters they find out that they have this fascinating toilet Arrangement I'm just disgusting who why did who why why did they do this why did they do this what what is supposed to happen here are they supposed to be like taking a [ __ ] and like sitting down in front of each other or like or like peeing in front of each like what's what's the situation here that you built this for just build stalls you dumb asses they're supposed to make them seem really cool like how Gryffindor is presented in Harry Potter but like they they don't [ __ ] they don't have to [ __ ] in front of each other in Gryffindor you bunch of weird know it seems like the strategy for teen dystopos when it comes to giving characters memorable names is just giving them uh the dumbest names in Hunger Games we have pea and catnip but here we have my name's four four like the number what happened 1 through three were taken oh he really didn't like that did he the first lesson you learned from me if you want to survive here is keep your mouth shut so yes the hunk for this movie his name is four which is what a [ __ ] name what a what the hell what were you thinking to Yourself four you're calling him four it's a real shame because I I think he's one of the better uh teen dystopian hunks in there we're going to give him a whole rating right now so in terms of pure hunkiness this guy's a total hunk a very very attractive man undeniable has a good voice he has a very very calming sort of voice to him I'm going to give him uh 10 points for that now let's examine the jawline okay this is this this is a good jawline this is one of the best jawlines in the hunk game Liam Hemsworth that's that's I mean that jawline is undeniable that's a good jawline right there but the Hemsworth brothers they're I like they're like genetically made in a lab so I don't feel like they count I'm going to have to give him 12 points for that jawline yes sir but now let's talk personality most important thing for a good hunk uh now compared to the the last two hunks from the from the Hunger Games this one is actually like mainly nice uh to to to the girl so that's that's good he is essentially her commander in these movies so yes he does use his position of power to flirt with her which is very bad but you got to remember that uh Peta uh tried to strangle catniss and the other guy probably bombed her sister so you know you got to work with what you have over here uh 10 points everyone in these movies has the brain of uh what a peanut has in his brain a day after this guy tries to kill Tris for being really good at all the tests he comes up to her and he's like oh please forgive me please I didn't mean to [ __ ] throw you off of a cliff and then she's like what what you just you just tried to do the murder like that was Yer you can't that was yesterday so then obviously he then decides to be the one that jumps off of a cliff and like what what are you even trying to do here was she supposed to do something differently it's my fault that he dead no it's not because of you your fault for what he's the one that did that tried to do the murder the villain in this is so common Al evil the Brilliance of the faction system is the Conformity to the faction removes the threat of anyone exercising their independent will she wants to put chips and all the dauntless brains so they can uh then go and kill the faction that is like her kind of rival party essentially but then the good guys win because Tris is uh Divergent apparently this chip is not very effective because it can easily be dismantled by holding someone's face and saying it's me it's me it's me wake up it's [Music] me would I have survived this dystopian scenario absolutely not if I had to jump off of one of those trains I would I would die the most original thing about these movies is probably how they decided to name them the first Divergent movie is called Divergent fair enough fair play nothing to say about that second movie though as you've probably seen in the title screen is called insurgent and the third one is called Allegent what making this essentially the Gent series the Gent every movie ends with gent it was really hard for me to remember this movie it's just like this vague mishmash of the bad guys winning and then the good guys winning the security for the bad guys may I say is horrible our main characters just kind of barge into whatever area that they want at any time they tell us in this movie about this big [ __ ] wall that's there to protect protect us all from all the bad things we are all that is left of humanity the vast wall that encloses this city may protect us from our toxic surroundings I've seen enough teen dystopians to know that the thing on the other side of the wall is probably all right then there's probably life over there Trish and her hot boyfriend are on the run now Trish has a bunch of nightmares now about all the trauma that she has now from the last movie they're doing the trauma stack up again like in Hunger Games like in Harry Potter again you killed us all has so much trauma that she decides to cut her hair and her boyfriend absolutely loves it it's definitely different he [ __ ] hates it I don't oppose her changing her look or more specifically getting short hair but that haircut is uh criminal for a girl who's supposed to be like 16 I forgot to say but Miles Teller is in these movies playing the most unlikable man on planet Earth Trish I think you should go to arite and kill Janine yourself I'll stay with Caleb so that you don't get him killed too his character should die I think the deaths in this mean nothing I did not care when her parents died she keeps crying in this movie about how she had to Kill Max in the last one uh because he was mind controlled I don't fing know how that guy [ __ ] looks like we find out that she's 100% Divergent in this Divergent 100% I'll be damned she has big ADHD everything in these films just feels fake it's a fake World a fake villain fake dumb names fake chemistry there's like a point where tris's brother F betrays her and essentially almost gets her killed uh I I I didn't care how can you fail so much at telling a story where I don't even care about this level of betrayal there's not enough work done in this to make Tris a character that you really love it's not the fault of the actress she's just kind of given nothing to play with what are her personality traits I don't know you can say a lot about like the World building in Hunger Games but at the very least you have this very strong route which is Katniss's character she's incredibly developed you feel for her you feel every Nuance in her decision with Tris I don't know why she wants to do half of the things that she does her personality trait is that she has all personality traits her thing as a character is that none of her qualities are more substantial than the other which leads us with a nothing of a character at the end of the first movie or protagonist is mind controlling the villain and has the option to kill her and end this whole thing but she chooses not to why because we need to try and squeeze three more movies out of this stupid franchise I don't know what the motives are of fck anyone snow motives are very clear you know whether they're good or absolutely evil he explains them very clearly throughout these films I don't really understand what's This Woman's big deal with Divergence every time a character is in a tough spot in any of these movies it's it's solved by like two headbutts and a punch if you're an actor and you manage to survive a career after these movies you should get $100 million as compensation I was shocked I I cannot tell you my my surprise and my shock when I found out that Miles Teller gave his whatever kind of performance in this during the same year he did Divergent in the very same year that he did Whiplash he did Divergent [ __ ] Divergent in the same year as as as the one of my favorite movies his performance in Whiplash is incredible there's so much to that character so much that you can empathize with what's going on over here he probably signed a deal to do all three of these movies when Hunger Games was being very very popular before Whiplash got the reception that it was just just sucks that he had to do this for three movies also apparently there's like life behind that uh big wall so who would have guessed that one Divergent 3 or whatever this one's called what were they thinking hey whoa hey what are you doing put me down we're not going to focus too much of the plot of this one I think we've established uh that it really doesn't matter this much they tra and her hot boyfriend and their gang they go beyond the wall and they find out that there's a bunch of people there that that live in a good place and they created the factions you see it doesn't it doesn't matter does it they did it as some sort of experiment and Divergence are actually The Good the good ones they're the pure ones whatever right it doesn't this doesn't mean anything the leader of this whole situation is like the guy from Dumb and Dumber I forgot his name he's a very good actor uh but he's also found out to be a bad guy at the end it's it's what they did it's it's what they did in Hunger Games you know I don't care about that I don't give a [ __ ] about any of that I just want to focus on the insanity of this movie so first of all let's talk about the adrs ADR is automated dialogue replace they go crazy with the adrs in this movie we should Slaughter you kill him yeah kill him coward Traer get and then after that we get to see this shot when I saw this shot I wrote in my notes that this is the funniest shot that I've ever seen in any movie ever little did I know that Less Than 3 minutes minutes after that it was topped by this [ __ ] thing we're going to be okay what what are these [ __ ] bubbles what is this what is this this looks really bad this looks like something from Shark Boy and Lava Girl what are they doing over here Tristan goes into some CGI goo and it looks like the Nickelodeon slime oh my God this is the ugliest movie I've ever seen in my whole life Dumb and Dumber guy is the leader and he shares how he watched Tris as a little girl I watched you being born I saw the love that your mother and father had for you I watched a little girl have a happy childhood and grow into a courageous young woman which may sound creepy but not as creepy as what he actually meant which is apparently his entire Society for the past 200 years has been watching watching tris's entire Society in Chicago uh like a sort of Truman Show kind of thing the story at this point is so far removed from the original that for you to seriously enjoy this you need to like actually like these characters which of course you don't why why would you everyone here is a [ __ ] none of their decisions make sense this sort of new regime that they're going into decides to bring for on one of their secret evil missions and tell them all about their secret evil plans this is the guy who toppled like another bad regime like a week ago you morons there's this really cringe scene where Dumb and Dumber brings uh Tris to talk in front of a bunch of evil politicians human beings cannot be categorized in this way it doesn't work and maybe it's time to start embracing everyone instead of dividing them into groups yeah you know if all these evil politicians from around the world just had a just had a folksy girl talk some sense into them the world wouldn't be as bad of a place no that no you're that's dumb anyone can just walk into any room there's no security for anyone Tris at some point steals president dumb and dummer's ship and there's no real percussions to make something like that not happen where are you going taking your ship and I'm not coming back you can't fly any person in this universe can just go into president dumb and dummer's office and steal whatever the [ __ ] they want because there's no there's no locks on anything this it's chaos it's there's no security guards what the what the hell are you doing what is the legacy of Divergent absolutely nothing these movies suck these movies suck so much especially this one first one was fun this one remember earlier when I said that they were supposed to make four Divergent movies well they did it this is the last one thank God it could be because this movie is a pile of ass but it could also be because what are these names as a casual viewer as a non-fan why would you see the name Allegiant and think that it's a sequel to Divergent the main character doesn't even have the same haircut for Christ's sake would I survive this scenario I don't know I guess I just float around in their dumb CGI bubble this movie ends with her doing another one of her speeches she does a lot of speeches and voiceovers in this movie but ha haa I don't care your speech doesn't mean anything to me because you there's not another movie there's not there's no there's no other Divergent what would you have called the fourth one man management no that doesn't end with jent I don't care because a fourth one would never exist the fourth book is apparently just called four but I think that's just like a collection of short stories they really thought like yeah we're the type of our franchise is good enough to split the last book into two parts maybe if you did a better job you know maybe if you made the movies better can't comment on the quality of the books cuz I've I've never read them okay let's talk about Maze Runner Maze Runner was like an ocean of Sanity after dumb uh Divergence dumb virgent dumb virgin that's that's a good joke the plot wasn't devised by uh the insane monkeys from Hunger Games it was made by like a human and like it makes sense our characters have motivations that make sense no one is just like evil because oh I choose to be evil now this is just a calm family movie about a group of kids traveling through a mze there's this fascinating sense of mystery in the first Maze Runner we start off not even knowing our main character's name he doesn't know his own name he doesn't know where he's at he doesn't know why he's there and the plot moves forward as us and Thomas which is his name peace out what's going on here bit by bit when he wakes up we realize a few things a him and everyone there is in a similar situation all of the boys in this uh grassy sort of area none of them remember their past at all and Beyond the grass we see this massive wall which leads to the Maze and so the plot is pretty straightforward we reach to the end of the Maze and uh find out what this great mystery is all about and you know what that's a good thing the fact that the plot doesn't have as many events inside of it works a lot better uh for the film format that it's in I really like the relationship between all the all the guys all the all the teens that are there some of them look like actual teens and some of them look like they're uh like 30 not really 30 but like my age all these people are pretty nice to each other and when they're not there's a valid reason for it it doesn't do this thing that I hate where the plot moves forward uh just because the characters I don't know [ __ ] misunderstand each other or uh they just hate each other for no real reason that never happens there is a character that hates Thomas but that's because um a bunch of batshit crazy stuff starts happening uh after Thomas gets to to where they all live like most of his friends die so that's like a legitimate assumption to you know to make and then after Thomas wakes up he's told that they have two rules over there I don't remember the other one but the first one was uh that you can't you can't go into that maze man never go beyond those walls and about 3 minutes pass and then this happens hey all the sequences inside of the maze are stressful as [ __ ] you don't know what's going to happen you know that you know Thomas is not going to die cuz he's like the main guy but with all the other kids it's free game and let me tell you this movie is [ __ ] terrifying so many kids die in such a brutal Way by these monsters who have like a like a do o sort of tentacle kind of situation and they and like even ones that I really like spoiler alert spoiler alert spoiler alert at some point throughout the movie We're introduced to Chuck who's my favorite my favorite kid in in this I'm talking about Chuck stop riding your motorcycle introduce to Chuck and Chuck is a legend he says my favorite line in any teen dystopia movie ever girls are awesome hey Chuck you're awesome too man he has so many great moments this kid is great Chu why would you give this to me I can't remember them anyway maybe if you find a way you can give it to them for me he's so cool man you love Chuck I love Chuck he's great well he dies Chuck dies I made you like him because I wanted you to feel what I felt when Chuck died he it made me so sad anyways Thomas manages to convince a bunch of them to go through that Maze and then they get to the end of it and then they find out that all all of this was actually orchestrated by a company called wicked that is literally their name it's really really on the nose they watch this video by the by the evil lady from the company and she's like yeah seems like I'm going to die now but you're still going to have to complete this uh maze because you guys are The Maze Runners and then she uh shoots herself in the head and like you finish it off being like damn this franchise is going to follow these kids who you know complete these messed up tasks made by a ghost essentially G I think that's his name it's dumb teen dystopian name he's the guy who didn't like uh Thomas and he goes maze crazy I belong to the Maze and he's the one who kills Chuck so obviously they need to kill him because that's the worst thing that anyone can ever do and then a bunch of soldiers resc the kids and then we find out that the lady who died is actually not dead and is actually alive so it's essentially like saw for teenagers really Maze Runner 2 also I forgot to say uh but I definitely wouldn't survive the events of Maze Runner 1 I'm incredibly clumsy so when running on one of those narrow Bridges I would probably uh slip on a banana and fall to my death so after the first one what I mainly expected is that you know they get dragged out by the fake good people who are actually the evil people and very quickly get thrown into what is another maze or another sort of puzzle that they need to solve because I was like this is the saw franchise this is the saw franchise for teenagers but let me tell you I couldn't have predicted anything about this movie because it is wild in this movie we find out that the Maze Runner is actually a zombie franchise there's even the whole classic scene of one of the guys in the group finds out that he got scratched and then he's like oh you guys got to let me go you guys got to give me a gun I don't want to turn into one of [Music] them so this is the plot of this one after they got taken away by the fake good guys who are actually just the bad guys from earlier the company Wicked Thomas finds out incredibly quickly uh what's going on over here which is something that I really like about this series it doesn't drag on at all it's a very non-bullshit sort of story Thomas realizes that wicked's whole plan is to take uh these kids who for some reason show a level of immunity to the zombie virus and put them through this maze because for some reason they can then like extract uh the thing that makes them immune this movie just goes crazy there's like a secret Legion of people who use zombies as guard dogs we see a party where Thomas takes a drug and then he sees like two zombies fight each other like their Pokemon Jean Carlo espacito is in this and he's incredible love that man to bits put him in more movies put him in everything put them in every franchise please please please please please put them in my face at the time of recording this I I still haven't seen Maze Runner 3 so what I'm curious about is that one going to take like a different horror kind of genre and you know uh make it for teenagers because that's pretty that's a pretty cool sort of concept I guess there's some pretty vile [ __ ] here man I think I was like 15 when this came out and even as a teenager I think I would have been a bit scarred by some of those scenes the whole moral question with the bad guys here is a lot more interesting they are certain that extracting all that brain juice from these kids is the way to save the world we see this post-apocalyptic world it's [ __ ] man those zombies are [ __ ] and they ruin everything the fact that it's not really as black and white as uh bits and Divergent where character's whole motivation is like I'm going to do a racism because uh that's that's going to help me with my next elections and I know what you might be thinking or when Hunger Games uh changed its concept by a lot you were you were angry you were Furious I remember this happening earlier in the video you were running around like a like a madman screaming inside your room why are you giving Maze Runner a pass well because Maze Runner 2 didn't spend a whole movie inside a bunker and then you may also say but or that's my actual name by the way uh the third Divergent movie whatever that one's called they also changed the plot and you didn't like that uh and they didn't they weren't in a bunker well that's because Allegent uh can suck my ass that movie is so bad I like the characters in Maze Runner they're they're nice they're they're fun to watch Maze Runner 3 whatever that one's called the the Death Cure the death yeah I think it's called a Death Cure so this is the last movie I just realized that like they all only ran through a maze like twice throughout this franchise so I just wanted to point that one out at the end of the last movie the bad guys came over to where all the good guys were hiding and they kidnapped Mino a legend and a great part of the mazee runner crew I really like him as as I like the rest of the crew they're all they're all great the reason they managed to do that is because Teresa decided to rat everyone out to Wicked which is really like that's like a not a cool thing to do she did it because she thought it would be a necessary sacrifice to try and find the zombie cure uh which I I mean I get that but that's still like incredibly rude to do so I thought that this would be another Twist on a horror sub genre but no they just go like full-blown action in this the start of this movie is just Mad Max they're driving these old car cars in the desert John Carlo espaco points an old ass gun out of a window and he's like [ __ ] I'm John Carlo espaco I'm going to blow your goddamn head off he's just so cool in these movies it's such a delight to see him whatever you say [Music] armano there's a bit where he comes to save everyone and he's on a [Music] spaceship all right boys we're here awesome this man is a great actor stop just casting him as a villain give him every role in in Hollywood please this movie really strengthens the fact that the friendship and the chemistry of this group is really one of the most defining features of Maze Runner I love seeing the whole gang just in full friendship mode doing action stuff together it's really fun and it also makes you realize how suy and mean everyone is in other teen dystopias like I get that you're having a bad time I I get that but come on friendship so we find out that there's only one city left in this horrible horrible world and Thomas wants to go straight into there and get their friend Mino back we get all these interesting moments in this film of Teresa trying to rationalize to herself her decision everything we're doing here it's working do you understand that's why this is so important I think this scene is great I love how important it is for her to try and clear her conscious I love the fact that the moral question here is actually you know something that you can think about should we torture a bunch of children if it gets us the cure to this Zombie Thing If it saves the whole world you know it's like a it's like a massive trolley problem essentially also will polter is alive the [ __ ] who killed Chuck hey greeny kill him kill him kill him well poter you son of a [ __ ] you killed Chuck you will see the wrath of Pally till the end of times you big piece of [ __ ] I actually I actually like will palter quite a bit he's a he's a great actor they really go full action Blockbuster there's some stunts here that are just Fast and Furious level they're doing this whole Heist to bring back Mino but meantime Nino is actually the Hulk and he throws a guy out of a glass they're cornered in a room but don't worry because they just jump out of a window from a building into like a puddle of water but they survive because when you land on water there's no fall damage then there's a bus filled with rescue children that gets lifted up by a crane and then that gets thrown on the ground but the the kids are fine they end the whole thing with the Rebellion doing some sort of war against the dystopian government which now that I think about it that's that's how all these franchises end it's all of them happens in Hunger Games happens in Divergence happens in this one they just can't get enough of a of like a that thing and then after that both in Hunger Games then in this we see the main character in like a naturey sort of place and and they're like they're like yeah I guess I have trauma but I'm also feeling pretty Blissful at the moment that virgin didn't get to have that ending because it's the worst uh movie all in all pretty solid series you know the end bit with the war does drag on too much I feel like they never really Managed IT to do that well it dragged on in Hunger Games it God knows that dragged on and Divergent and it happened again now but I think that if you're looking for a pretty fun way to scar uh your little sibling or like a cousin or something uh show them those movies you know they're genuinely a great time the cast is great are they a bit generic yeah at times but I think they do have a bunch of heart to them oh yes are filming now I'm excited to watch this movie I'm literally in the process of moving places I don't have my lights anymore I'm using my phone but my flash on my phone but godamn it I went to see the new Hunger Games movie just now this is going to be the best movie ever this guy is that snow is that supposed to be do snow wow he's really hot me buying the ticket this is footage that I'm going to use in the video I'm strict to viewing oh no is this going to be scary are you old enough for this no no I'm I'm actually 10 years old it's going to be difficult it's going to be a rough one I watched this movie after watching 10 movies in this genre in a row this is admittedly a really bad way to to consume movies when I sat down and the trailer started playing I was full of dread I really didn't want to watch another teen dystopian movie but then I watched it and I hello I just watched uh this movie can you ask me what I think um what do you what did you think and I really really liked it I like this movie about sexy uh Hitler Origins I had so much fun I was really pleasantly surprised by how wellmade this movie is I'd go see this movie Just for Viola Davis playing this complete uh just extravagant lunatic he's so unbelievably extra and so much fun to watch on screen Jason schwarzman is a delight to watch in this his character is just so incredibly funny it's really fun to watch kind of the news presenter version of Stanley Tucci's character but you know what is essentially supposed to be like a 40s uh sort of setting reporting on The Hunger Games when it was essentially a failing TV show Rachel Zigler I wasn't as excited by her performance I don't think that she was bad or anything they just they made her sing a lot it's like a really big part of this movie it's this this thing is sort of a musical also this is how I'd like the Hunger Games themselves to be filmed it looks brutal you know the camera is so like attached to every swipe and every stabbing that happens in this you really feel every death whereas in with the original one you don't really get the full impact of the brutality of what's happening in front of you and all in all it's just really fascinating to see uh the progression of this character losing his Humanity bit by bit I think I'm ready to do my ranking Hunger Games 2 and this new one are essentially on the same level for me I I don't think that this movie has quite anything that's like Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss everine and I think just for that I'm going to have to put Catching Fire as my favorite one out of these 11 films and it's this new one Ballads of song bird and and a snake then it's the first Hunger Games movie then it's Maze Runner 1 then it's Maze Runner 2 then it's Maze Runner three then it's Hunger Games 4 Hunger Games 3 sorry not sorry and then I think we have uh just the three Divergence left you could just place them all in in their order straight at the bottom where they belong I did it the story that I said at the beginning with the power supply is over it's over I would have done something else for theend but man I like I just you got to understand I'm I'm really in between things I got to move my computer somewhere else [Music] now
