The YA fad was massive for a few years in the 2010s, with movies like Twilight and The Hunger Games being massive cinematic events around the world. The Maze Runner was arguably one of the last in the genre before it kind of died out and people moved onto… Streaming shows and more superhero movies I guess?
Maze Runner: The Death Cure definitely raises some questions. Like are we supposed to remember exactly what happened in that last movie several years ago? Did the good guys just doom the human race by getting their friend back? How are all these kids so good at shooting?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Maze Runner: The Death Cure!

Trilogy started with them living in an isolated place and being miserable and ended with them living in an isolated place and being happy.
Maybe the real isolated place is the friends we made along the way :P

@@TheSuperappelflap The Friends they made along the way are DEAD!
@@ryanmumford5534Maybe the real dead were the friends we made along the way.
Sometimes you don't know what you have until you've lost it....
The computer being continuously on fire is better continuity than most films these days
This isn't even hyperbole, it's literally true.
Computers being consistently on fire is tight.
its not that its on fire constantly that does it for me, but the "on fire - audio" that keeps going once it starts. once noticed i found that hilarious
I was kind of hoping the fire would spread more and more throughout the pitch meeting.
Ikr, movies are so fast paced they literally contradict themselves every 5 minutes for the plot.Nothing ruins the storytelling for me more than continity error and annoying child actors.
We didn't actually see Teresa die. Its possible she got sandwiched by couple of fireproof hospital beds and somehow survived. 🤷🏽♂️
not only possible, but likely
Don't, man. Her dying was one of the only things about that movie I liked. lol
Or found by a rebel group, nursed back to health and making a full recovery…
On to the sequel we go.
The Flash appeared and put her in a microwave...
Ryan compulsively rolling his eyes at the mention of non-permanent screen death is my favourite part of this video 🤣🤣🤣
That’s a response to Ahsoka’s lightsaber stab.
That and the fact they just don't put out the fire
I mean to be fair the general rule of anime is that if you didn't see someone die they didn't.
At this point I think Hollywood writers are trying to write utterly absurd screenplays just so they can see Ryan do the Pitch Meeting for it.
*Udderly
Or just to see if there's even a breaking point at which people will actually stop paying to watch these dumb movies. All signs point to no.
@@ikmor its utterly
Thought that may well be true, this particular movie came out before Ryan started doing Pitch Meetings, lol.
@@themangoartificer882 "Udderly" is a joke. Whoosh.
“Oh no, he was one of the characters” is definitely a great new line to add.
I died
Its glorious and I love it. Also about the only thing you can say about any of them because they're so bland.
idk, i cant really imagine ryan ever going for the same joke over and over, it would probably be repetitive and wear itself out after 3 or 4 uses, max.
@@evankraabel5415 Actually its super easy, barely an inconvenience
@@purekinemaOh no, you were one of the commenters
I just realized that Ryan actually has to watch all these terrible movies and even sort of pay attention to them in order to make these vids. We truly appreciate your sacrifice Sir.
I think the first one was good, but in The Scorch Trials movie, they kinda forgot to include the trials and I don’t even know what tf was going on with the Death Cure.
Well, yeah, but, I mean, it's not exactly the worst way to make your money.
@cooperhurst2639 that's also what happened in the books, so sounds faithful to the material, at least.
Ryan is happy to pass the savings on to you!
Maze runner movies are so good
"well that's okay" is pretty much how everyone felt about Teresa's death in both the book and the movie.
I felt like when You've worked a 12 hour shift, have to stop for food on the way home because you're too tired to cook, set the food down, let your dogs out, then feed them, and are just about to sit down to eat when you remember you can take your bra off... aaah.
@@DerpDevilDDthat is oddly specific are you ok miss
@@ayoublahrach4169 Either you liked her more than I did or you've never worn a bra for an extended period of time.
@@DerpDevilDD oh I didn't feel strongly about her death and I'm a dude
@@ayoublahrach4169 Basically, it's feeling annoyed and uncomfortable for a long time and then a simple, sweet relief. I tried to think of a unisex simile, but drew a blank. Maybe if you had to wear shoes that were slightly too small for a while? Or you're a passenger in someone's car and they play music you hate for a two hour drive and finally shut it off when you reach your destination.
Never judge a movie by its poster, judge it by its pitch meeting
Never judge a book by its cower
Well said
Wise words.
This needs to be pinned
You got a dinner invite for that comment, at least...c'mon! Dude's Canadian! That was some helluva good free ad for Ryan, eh!
I appreciate Ryan's symbolism at the outro pointing at the fact that these movies milk their conditioned, cattle-like audiences for cash. Which in turn means that Ryan can continue to milk *them* for Pitch Meetings, and so the bovine-analogy cycle continues.
It's nice to know that (even in these distressing economic times) than Ryan can still afford cowhide suits.
😁
... (🆗, I'll see myself out.)
I think you are pretty muuuuuch correct
It would be even funnier I’d it was completely unrelated
You have two cows.
The circle kees mooving
I remember reading the second book and asking myself "We're rooting for the good guys, right?"
Welcome to YA books. So fucking shallow that you end up rooting for the bad guys because they're legit the ones keeping humanity going.
Only ones that made sense to root for the "rebels" was the hunger games, because that legit was just one city hoarding all the resources instead of rebuilding America. Hunger games actually made sense. There was no disease or anything of that, just a corrupt government using these games to humiliate the peasants and keep them in their place until the inevitable uprising.
@@ArenVrem Sorry wait what the company is actually called WICKED? I thought it was, I dunno, a word that sounded like wicked, like WICKET or WICKER or VICKER but no, they just straight up called the company a word that means evil?
@@ArenVrem which is a clunky and stupid name to begin with. Even by government standards.
@@davidshea6272yeah these books are so hilariously godawful
i felt the premise of the first book was interesting, and in the second and third book i asked myself if the author had contructed an interesting premise for the first book without ever coming up with any sorts of plausible explanations. for anything. in a way, i like the second and third movie better because they were just dumb zombie movies and not trying to add to the mystery the way the books tried.
My favorite nonsensical escape was when Thomas, Newt, and Minho were cornered by WICKED in a building near the top floor. Thomas looked out the window and saw a fountain on the first floor so he told Newt and Minho to jump. They all fell several stories and landed in the fountain completely unscathed! Hilarious. And no, that most certainly was not in the book.
Also a fun fact for that actual location as someone who lives there: that "fountain" is like 2 feet deep.😂
@@acelovesdiyschristopher7023 That's lucky, it doesn't negate fall damage if it's less than 2 feet deep
At least this one wasn't split into two parts.😂
Genuinely made me double take because I totally assumed it was, lol
Seriously
The last movie was a stretch on its own 😂
They probably considered it but cut half the plot at the last second. The half they cut was anything at all that happened in the books.
@@YMasterS oh, cutting book happenings in half is TIGHT!
Some people re-watch the previous movies in a series when the sequel are released - we re-watch the previous pitch meeting when the sequel's pitch meeting is posted to get caught up
This is a good wisdom.
Yup, I just did exactly that.😂
This is the way.
It's super easy
Same 😂
I had no idea, nor would have ever guessed, that the Maze Runner movies were about zombies. I had so little interest in them that I never bothered. I just watched this Pitch Meeting because Ryan George
He always gets me when Writer Guy gets asked "How?" and he goes, "I don't know."
My favorite part of this series is how often they trade the life of a kid for the life of another kid they like better..... RIP Jeff.
Don't disagree, but that's a pretty common movie trope. I've never really understood how a mission to save one person that ends up killing more than one person on your team can be considered "successful", let alone a happy ending - but it happens all the time. And that's not even getting into how many good guy protagonists go through innocent security guards like a hot knife through butter and then let the bad guy live because "otherwise we'd be just as bad as he is". :)
Oh man, Jeff. He was in the movie; I'm almost certain of it.
@@garysturgess6757that was blue beatle
@@garysturgess6757
I loved when The Lonely Island Boys mocked that in their song "Cool guys don't look at explosions" With JJ Abrams playing the electric keyboard (he really did he's a pretty good musician)
@@garysturgess6757 Depends on the importance of the person to be rescued. An entire squad may considered expendable for a single president or dignitary
"Let's be mature about this."
That's peak Ryan George comedy right there.
Aside from the plot issues (most events in the movie don't take place at all in the books) Dylan O'Brien does an incredible job and his talent is massively underappreciated in this series.
Wrong
@@williepete1969 Nope.
The movie is completely different from the books. The director acknowledged that they realized that the small adjustments they made in the first movie meant they couldn't continue the books' narrative so they basically just rewrote everything.
@@ArenVrem mmm yeah i don’t recall them being ZOMBIES 😅 not sure why they made that choice
@@byeguyssry oh really? No wonder I'm not interested to watch the sequels. They're not even faithful to the books. I mean someone could've actually READ all the books before deciding to make the movies but I guess nobody did the homework for it.
Holy cow! This was a great video, Ryan! I for one am so glad you mooved these to a new channel. I’m sure ScreenRant has no beef with you for the moove.
@@SouravDas-vi1jh wooosh
I'm sure this is still run by screen rant, but after so many people saying they would subscribe if only it wasn't on screen rants channel they probably relented to the idea.
I guess they own his new channel too so either way they're making moo-lah.
First Maze Runner Movie: Let's keep all the major events and characters; just change/shorten a few things to make it all fit in a single movie.
Second Maze Runner Movie: Let's keep the characters and a few major events; change everything else (including the climax) almost completely.
Third Maze Runner Movie: Forget the book; just have the same characters and turn it into Mission Impossible.
Sounds like the descent into Game of Thrones
Maybe Hollywood production is the maze they're running.
@@nateschultz8973yeah
So accurate. I really loved the first maze runner movie and it got me to read the books. Then when the second movie came out I was like wtf happened.
@@TayNez63 same. I thought the first movie was so underrated. The second movie was so awful, I didn’t bother with the third one. The fact that Teresa straight up betrayed everyone was such a stupid cliffhanger ending. Also, the make-out session with the protagonist halfway through the film was just gratuitous. I honestly couldn’t tell if that was real or some kind of hallucination, but the movie never explains.
I remember watching the original movie in theater because a buddy of mine was excited about it and thinking "Man, for a movie called Maze Runner, there's very little running through mazes in this thing." And it sounds like the sequels have even less mazes.
The hype train for the first movie must have been huge because my friend talked me into it as well.
Smile is another one that everyone wanted to see and I’m looking around like uh, ok? I think Smile was promoted as a date night thing idk but my girl (who talked me into it) fell asleep halfway through…
"Not enough maze - 7.8/10" lol
The first one is the only one with a Maze and they’re in it for like 3/4 of the runtime if not more.
The entire allure of the sequels was seeing what was outside of the maze, but I can’t believe people actually believed the titles, the movies just tacked that there so you would know what series it is, like how Catching Fire became Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Or how Twilight did the same thing with it’s names back in 2009 despite the names of those movies not really meaning anything.
It’s kinda like the people who complained about the lack of Fantastic Beasts in Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald.
@@expendableindigo9639 They were in the center area of the maze for most of the first movie, but they weren't actually doing any maze related activities except briefly.
Second, the above is mainly me being quippy. If it had been a good movie, I would have watched the sequels regardless of their percentage of maze content. But it wasn't.
Running stream is persistent, though. (it seems)
I love those Maze Runner pitch meetings. I learn so much from them about the movies, for example that they exist.
Yeah it was one of the movies
I thought rewatching all the pitch meeting videos would be difficult but it turns out to be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Oh really?!?
I liked the part in Maze Runner where the cow showed up at the end to discuss maturity. That was a thing that definitely happened and not part of Ryan George’s personal life or wardrobe choices.
Watching a pitch meeting for a film you’ve never seen is TIGHT
Watching a pitch meeting for a film you'll never plan to see is TIGHT
And never will ☝️ This pitch meeting makes it super easy to choose. Barely an inconvenience.
SUPER TIGHT.....LIKE A VIRGIN!!!!
Yeah, that may as well happen.
😏
I do it a lot.
3 + years of binging and checking out the new pitch meetings. Damn these never get old
It's insane how relatable this entire pitch meeting is! From the admittance of how unmemorable the previous film was to me, the unmemorable characters including the need to point out a "eyebrow kid" is someone in the movie, to the confusing "victory" of the main character which I really cannot recall his name lol I even forgot about the other characters exists...

Booooom!
True, I'll judge YA trash on its own lack of merit 😊
Correct, those books are bad enough on their own.
@@fconstraintsOkay, troll.
I mean, I don’t doubt that the books are better, but the books reviews are mixed as well.
That computer stayed on fire throughout the video. Showing more consistency than many Hollywood movies.
I remember my uncle, who doesn’t read books very often, reading this series and loving it. He couldn’t stop talking about them and how excited he was for the movies to come out
Then when they did he got progressively more and more disappointed with each movie and eventually told me “Yea, don’t watch those” 😂
precisely why I watched the movies first and will now go back and read the books. haha
"That was the plan?"
"It was & it went perfectly & the swooped in at the last second & saved the day."
"Wow, I mean what are the odds of a last minute rescue plan like that working?"
"A hundred percent."
... The confidence of that response got me wheezing.
Lets all be grown ups and not talk about Ryan's clothing choices. MOOOOOve along people.
Hehehe!
Come on guys! Don't milk it anymore.
His clothing choices are udderly ridiculous.
He's got some bulls to wear that!
Agreed. The pitch itself gives enough to ruminate on.
These pitch meetings brings so much happiness to so many ❤ The concept can’t get boring because movies and series are different so you know your in for a treat every time. I haven’t even seen 80%+ of the movies but I still enjoy this because of how ridiculous movies are and you are so great at poking holes and mocking them. Thanks for your work 🎉
Another great Pitch Meeting from the infinitely talented Ryan George! Always a treat, whether I've seen the movie or not.
Like a writer-free Hollywood, Pitch Meetings can keep digging up old movies and shovelling them out for the public. If no one saw them, they're arguably new.
Just like any Hollywood Executive, I approve of your idea for a REBOOT of old Pitch Meetings... 😁🤗
It can be the start of the PMEU (Pitch Meetings Extended Universe) 🤯
Pitching old movies is tight
They're never obscure movies, they have absolutely been seen.
"Wait how did they win exactly?"
"Well, they stopped the *cure* from being made"
"The cure that would have *saved* humanity?"
In the books, there’s no guarantee of a cure, Jansen just wants to dissect Thomas’s brain for a chance at the cure. Because of the circumstances, it’s only natural that Thomas would not consent to it. The safe haven (island) allows the immune to start a new society.
Because of the changes the film makes, all of this context is lost and the final decision makes no sense.
I think that's how the book ends too. Everyone else in the world is doomed except for a handful of lucky kids with immunity who all live on an island or something.
@@abduljah9355Wait, what's the moral of this story?
To be selfish I guess
Ah yes, Hollywood-Morals again. It doesn't matter how many people die or suffer. All that matter is the ego of the protagonist. Hollywood seriously forgot how to human.
Absolutely love these pitch meetings. I am bingeing. You asked about what movies you should pitch, and I think you should pitch older movies like the original "Warriors" from the 70's. And other older movies, like Any Which Way But Loose with Clint Eastwood from the 80s. I am 60 years old, and all of us pretty much watch youtube and not other media outlets every night.
The maze runner trilogy was a franchise that didn't take itself too seriously which I enjoyed and appreciated. It didn't have any part 1's or part 2's. It showed up at the party, mingled a little bit, and left gracefully.
I liked how screenwriter guy kept the plot mooooving with udderly ridiculous plot conveniences. They really milked those last minute rescues.
Heck of a mooooooove!
🥁
This comment is the cream of the crop!
screenwriter guy needs to mooooooove into a different field as the films seems to be getting really cheesy.
Ryan is actually a cow
Producer Guy isn’t the only one rolling his eyes 🙄
Ryan really mooooved me with this Pitch Meeting.
if you pay close attention at the end, you might notice that there is not actually a cow speaking to you, but some guy from Ryans world in a cow disguise.
Mmmm, I did not notice that! :-)
we aren't supposed to talk about it
My personal made-up theory about the mazes:
Someone within WCKD realized that they have no chance of achieving a cure. So he came up with the maze idea, telling everyone that it leads to a cure in some convoulted way, but his real goal was to toughen up and train the few immune kids, so that they - and therefore humanity - can survive in the post-civilization environment, even when everyone else dies.
Won't work if the only immune kids are all dudes.
The books have a legit reason for why the mazes. I just don't remember it because it's been years. They were supposed to stimulate something, that they believed would lead them to a cure. I don't remember the details anymore, as I said, but I think the price for achieving a cure was "too high" for the main characters, so they more or less destroyed WCKD. I think the cure was possible, but it involved a whole lot of sacrifice that the would be sacrifices didn't want to do. At the end of the day, I think someone in WCKD betrays the organization to help them escape to a hidden paradise so that the human race could live on or something. I should re-read them, the books were entertaining. Personally, I didn't like the movies
it didn't really say for sure that the cure was possible, but Jansen had taken over and it's made apparent that he's infected during the finally which is why he's so obsessed with finding the cure to the point where he's willing to straight up just try to juice the kids for their blood at that point.
also side note I hate how in the movie Newt just dies from a knife wound that Thomas did in self defense, the book he is on his last leg of sanity and his last action while still being him was putting a gun in Thomas' hand and pulling the trigger while it was in his mouth(Newt pulled the trigger), because he refused to become one of the cranks
@@gastonborda5607 wasn't it like the blood or brain matter of the immune kids when put through intense mental problem solving created a cure, but it was unethical, basically using humans as cattle for "milk", also there aren't a lot of these kids either.
the creators wanted to make the mazes to study the kids brain activity to make a blueprint for the cure, i’m not exactly sure how it works since it’s been a sec since i’ve read the books, but i’m pretty sure that’s why. Also a bit more spoilers
They wanted to take thomas’s brain for making the cure and finding out why the immune people are different.
Not knowing a movie existed but watching the Pitch Meeting for it is TIGHT!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Love your videos! Please do a pitch meeting for Southland Tales!!! It'll be super easy! Barely an inconvenience. I am going to comment this for as long as you make these, until you make it. I will never give up. This is my fortieth attempt.
The continuity in this pitch meeting was udderly brilliant.
minho waking up in the maze was the best moment of the entire trilogy, and they ruined it immediately by revealing it wasn't actually happening. well done
Was it that good? Sorry I'm not going to watch the entire film to find out.
Just thought of something that was bugging me about the city riot scene at the end: Why were the rebels taking out the ENTIRE city instead of just killing WCKD officials and taking the city for themselves?
Because they're the bad guys. See the story from the perspective of the average citizen of the city, and it becomes abundantly clear the rebels aren't the good guys.
Because the Rebels are the bad guys.
Cause big bad must go boom.
bcz they had to end these movies with a bang 😂
dude...first time i see one of your video.
I thought it was hilarious ^^
I don't even know what this movie is, and i don't want to know more after your video.
I will however watch another of your videos.
Thanks Maze runner!
Hi, Ryan. Great job! I notice there's no Pitch Meetings for things like Jaws the Revenge or the Room. If a movie is that bad, does it take out the challenge, and that's why they aren't made?
Good question. Hope he answers that in the next revisited episode.
"how come they're attacking now if they had so much firepower?"
"Coz this is the climax of the movie so they were waiting for that"
Ryan is a GOAT
Oh no, he's just a human with a cow disguise, but I can understand your confusion.
Technically Galley hacked the WCKD guns so the zombie leader guy could drive explosives up to the wall without being shot. And Galley could only hack the guns because Teresa got him into the WCKD facility and Teresa only did that because they kidnapped her and they could only kidnap her using Thomas.
No, he's a COW.
Referring to him being Champion Of the World of course. Not at all related to his clothing choices, as discussing such topics would be immature.
I wonder how the clothes Ryan wears is affecting his personal life
He's a cow in real life
It's not very mature of you to ask this kind of question.
That's a moo point.
He recently mentioned he got engaged, so his fiancé obviously has great taste in outfits.
@@yondaime500 *manure
Visited my parents in August, for the first time since before COVID. Mom & I watched dozens of Ryan's videos. She really likes them; esp the "First guy ever to..."
This is one of the best Pitch Meetings you've ever done.
Aiden Gillan becoming the Irish Terminator and being the only one in the movie having any fun was what made this an absolute classic. Not a single part of it makes any sense and every single decision every character makes is a terrible decision. I just love it.
I found Newt's death gutwrenching in the books (it's done quite differently there to say the least) so I'm disappointed that they didn't do him justice here:/
I KNOW, RIGHT?! The book is vastly better than the movie. It saddens me to know that most people probably won’t give the books a chance because of the terrible film adaptation.
@@jaredturner4742 for some reason it seams a lot of the people in these comments really didn’t like the books. I thought they were great
@@TheElegantPelican Yeah, so did I! I just recently started the fourth. I really love the books!

@@TheElegantPelican they probably never actually read them 💀 just following the crowd
It's always a good day when a pitch meeting ends with "What could possibly go wrong."
I was doing background work on Teen Wolf with Dylan O Brien
We were shooting on a subway set in the LA port (Same Subway set they used for Cloverfield) This kid was a little silly and not really focused the whole time, nothing wrong with this mind you but at one point he pulled open a door and somehow the entire set piece came crashing down on him, at the last second he dodged out of the way. This set piece would have ended the nights shoot for sure, it was very heavy.
When i heard of his injury i can assumed between his lack of focus and demeaner on set it was probably more or so his fault. Not focused with the stunt drivers and remembering marks is something only PROS like Tom Cruise should stick to, there is no time to be silly and unfocused on set when big stunts are taking place.
I don't wish him ill will and it sucks he got injured, but it should be a great lesson for all future Actors to take your job safety seriously. Don't for one second think your not immune to danger, film sets are controlled chaos, and if you lose focus, you could get hurt.
That Pitch Meeting was so mooving. Ryan spotted so many gray areas - not everything is black and white. He really took the cow by the horns with this one, no steering away from the plot holes!
Idk man IMHO he utterly milked this for all it was worth.
Pitch Meeting for National Treasure please!! I feel like it’s a perfect movie for a Pitch Meeting
Ryan maybe a fool, but he's not suicidal. He knows not to fuck with nick cage
Perfect Pitch Meeting ™️
@akale2620
"Because Nic Cage"
"All right"
Great pitch meeting! Another hilarious video!
I just have one question: what's with the cattle onesie?
I was really mooved by this pitch. It was udderly fantastic.
I remember the first movie because there was a Maze... and they Ran... The other movies, not so much.
Same, I actually liked the first movie because it’s mazes and running.
Meanwhile the second had no mazes or running or scorches and badguys literally called EVIL Corp
Edit: I care so little I mixed this up with an actually show their called WICKED: saviors of humanity. Clearly they don’t have a sense of irony.
That's what happens when books have individual titles, but Hollywood thinks everything needs an umbrella title so they just use the first book's title.
I think that's called "The Hunger Games" effect
Branding is everything tbh, that said after the first movie it kinda just becomes discount Resident Evil but with teenager's and I doubt that'll be an easy sell in the current market, so "Maze Runner" it is for the entire trilogy even if the title is misleading.
Well, it worked with STAR WARS @@carlrood4457
“Teresa does die, she does a lot….dead” absolutely hilarious yet easy to miss. Repeat viewings for added subtle bits is TIGHT!!!!

I was not looking at the screen when you said "eye brow guy" and knew exactly who you were talking about lol
The movies definitely cut out and change more from the books as the series goes on. I read the books and the First movie is honestly pretty damn good. Second jumps over some important info but then the third movie "jumps the shark" in my opinion. Overall decent movies for the book but Def read the books BEFORE watching the movies so you know what tf is goin on and you connect with the characters since they don't build on the characters in the movies as much like in the books.
Ryan George, a successful movie executive, paced his plush office, lost in thought. He was well-known for his keen eye in the industry, always spotting the next big hit. However, today was different; the unease he felt wasn't about box office numbers or casting decisions.
A tap on his door snapped him from his reverie. Ryan turned to see a disheveled man with wild eyes standing there.
"Ryan George?" the man asked.
"Yeah, that's me," Ryan replied, eyeing the stranger warily.
"I'm Screenwriter Guy," the man declared with an odd intensity. "I've written the ultimate Avengers script."
Ryan sighed. "Look, I get pitches all the time, but we have a process. Send it through the proper channels."
Screenwriter Guy's eyes widened. "No, you don't understand. This script is super easy, barely an inconvenience. I've put my heart and soul into it."
Ryan's skepticism turned to annoyance. "I don't have time for this. Please leave."
Days went by, but the encounter left a nagging feeling in Ryan's mind. His unease grew as he noticed the same man lurking near his office building. Screenwriter Guy was relentless, always appearing when Ryan least expected it.
Late one night, as Ryan locked up his office, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness.
"Ryan George," the voice hissed.
Ryan's heart raced as he recognized Screenwriter Guy. "What do you want?"
"I just want to show you my script," the man said, thrusting a battered manuscript toward him.
Frustration boiled over. "Fine, give it to me!" Ryan snapped.
Screenwriter Guy's eyes glowed with an eerie intensity as he handed over the script. Ryan retreated into his office, intending to toss it aside, but curiosity got the better of him. He started reading, and to his astonishment, the story was compelling, perfectly capturing the essence of the Avengers.
Weeks passed, and Screenwriter Guy's appearances became more frequent. His requests to discuss the script intensified, each time with that unnerving phrase: "super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Ryan couldn't escape the feeling that he was being watched even outside of work. The script haunted his thoughts, creeping into his dreams. As he read on, he realized the story was more than just a script; it was a portal to something darker.
One night, Ryan awoke to find Screenwriter Guy standing at the foot of his bed, the manuscript clutched tightly in his hand.
"Read it," Screenwriter Guy whispered, his voice chilling.
Desperation and fear drove Ryan to skim through the pages, his heart pounding. The lines blurred between fiction and reality. The characters seemed to materialize around him, their eyes filled with malevolent intent.
With a jolt, Ryan woke up, bathed in sweat. It was a dream-a nightmare. But when he turned on the light, the manuscript was there, resting ominously on his nightstand.
In a frenzy, Ryan grabbed the script and stormed into his office. He had to confront Screenwriter Guy and put an end to this madness. He rushed out onto the street, but the man was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, a whisper slithered through the wind, carrying those haunting words: "super easy, barely an inconvenience."
A figure emerged from the shadows, a sinister grin playing on his lips.
"Screenwriter Guy," Ryan choked out.
"Did you like my script, Ryan?" Screenwriter Guy asked, his eyes gleaming with a twisted delight.
"No! Get away from me!" Ryan yelled.
"Ah, but you see, Ryan, you can't escape now. You've read it, and now you're a part of it," Screenwriter Guy sneered.
Ryan's world blurred and shifted. Reality twisted as the characters from the script emerged around him. They laughed, their voices echoing in his mind. Ryan was trapped in a nightmare of his own making, a captive in the very story he had dismissed.
As the darkness consumed him, Ryan's final thought echoed in the void: "Wow, wow wow wow…wow."
You've got one too many "wow"s.
You have a lot
Of free time don’t you?
Absolutely brilliant!
In solidarity with the writer's strike, we're not writing... remember?
Love it!
The afterscenes are getting more and more chaotic.
the series almost ended- then the computer exploded. We've never been so close to reaching the improbability threshold before.
I didn't realize I had seen this movie until you showed the main antagonist toward the end of this pitch meeting.
The spear missed all of Galley's internal organs. Piccolo: "ALL OF THEM?!"
Pretty sure it was Spopovich who said that, not Piccolo.
Gary Oldman: "EVERY ONE"
@@TeeAiDeeDragonBall started before Z
Mocking YA movies is so easy, but so fun.
"He was one of the characters!" is such a great twist on the standard line. Also, love how Producer Guy just ignores the flaming computer as it continues burning.
I totally forgot about this series and this movie until this pitch meeting.
Fair. I never remembered. 😉
“Oh no, that’s one of the characters!”
Perfectly sums it up
I love that the computer remained on fire throughout the pitch 😂
It's Ryan's consistency in his world-building that I admire most.
@@jasonglebe3235 Indeed. I doubt we've heard the last of his secret plan to purchase Canada.
Oh right! And stupid me just thought that it was a CG effect.
Wow, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience to forget the first movie existed, and be unaware they'd made it into a franchise until this pitch meeting. Thanks, Ryan.
Hahaha! Love it!! Ryan, please never stop doing these... you're just too good at it!! :-)
Bro I need more eye rolls moments in the next ones,this is so good
I have watched enough pitch meetings to be able to sync "super easy, barely an inconvenience" and "oh really" with ryan and ryan. Its really super easy, barely an inconvenience
Oh really?
@@PaleImperator yeah, i can suddenly do a backflip, snap the badguy's neck, say "super easy, barely an inconvenience" and "oh really" and make my own day!
@@tiberiusbrain Wow wow wow - wow!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh, all of us having conversations in ridiculously long catchphrases is TIGHT!
The Austin powers pitch meeting would be super easy, barely an inconvenience
Yeah baby
Yeah!
Fook mi!!! Cannot wait for that!!!
Your profile picture is hilarious
Do it to me baby
I'd love to have you do No Hard Feelings Pitch Meeting. The banter between Writer Guy and Producer Guy on having JLaw star would be quite good I imagine.
My bestfriend used to LOVE Newt and even named one of her chickens after Newt. We used to talk about this trilogy all the time, so I’m thankful of Ryan making these.
Okie doke
My favorite part was when the cow totally saved Eyebrows Guy.
I am udderly impressed by this series and his maturity.
And the cowtinuity as well
@@Grasslander *chef's kiss*
"How could they have possibly known the moving train would stop at that exact spot?"
"Eh ha huh he... Math, probably? I don't know."
LONG LIVE PITCH MEETINGS
Another Awesome Pitch Meeting! Subverting expectations with a wardrobe change is ... (well, you know...) hip!
How do I not remember a single bit of this film even though I'm sure I watched it within the last five years.
It sounds a bit like it was total shit, in your defence.
dude that happens to me all the time. I watched extraction 2. then i forgot i watched it and i watched it again. took me like an hour to remember i already watched it and didnt retain a single plot point. to be fair, there wasnt much plot.
I literally don't remember a sentence of what was explained in this video but I'm 80% sure I watched every movie in this franchise so how is that possible (spoiler: because the last two were very bad)
Watching a Pitch Meeting when you don’t expect it anymore is TIGHT
Nice!
So funny. Always the highlight of the week. Please do 2001, more Bonds and the Christopher Reeve Superman films.
I’d love to see the Pitch Meeting for Despicable Me 1,2 or 3.
I'd love to see a Pitch Meeting for Donnie Darko. Every time Producer Guy asked a question about the plot, Screenwriter Guy would only have to say, "Unclear!" or "Because!"
Or "Hey Shut Up!"
Def work in a few jokes about the directors cut
Absolutely. I love the director's cut.
Either this is the first time I’m hearing about this movie, or I didn’t care when it came out and forgot.
You couldn't possibly be aware of all the films that release.
Yes.
What's the music that gets used at the end of each Pitch meeting? I get old video game vibes from that
Great Stuff, as always!
Can we all stop and give thanks to Ryan for watching absolutely terrible movies so we don’t have to. It’s most likely not super easy and a huge inconvenience, and we owe him our utmost love and gratitude.
he doesn't watch them all, some he just reads plot synopses
@@corberus3119 Where did you get that from.
"Can we all stop" Oh yeah, we must use the same old trite comment-section phrases without stopping to think how unnecessary it is to insert them. Because in true feminine fashion it should be about "me" and "we" instead of just the object to discuss. I bet you take selfies in front of things instead of taking a picture of the thing itself like an adult.
@@Grasslander what the hell are you talking about. I wasn’t saying “stop” as in “don’t do anymore” but rather as “take a moment to give thanks”.
@@GrasslanderI bet you do a lot of projecting on people rather than use an overhead projector like an adult wait I'm not sure if this works. Be nice.
Literally had no clue they made more of these. Pretty much figured it went the way of Divergent.
Same! Other than Ryan, I knew nothing about these sequels! LOL
Wait maze runner and divergent are two franchises???
They finished that series too. Just as forgettable, even though the books there were actually okay.
The 5th wave never got finished though. Percy Jackson either, though the movie adaptations there were the worst trash.
EDIT - They didn't do the tie-in novel "Four" for Divergent, but it's pretty much just a POV switch, and giving some backstory for Tobias. Not worth a movie on its own.
I was surprised there wasn't more Katniss. I was sure she would be on the airship. @@jamesjacobsmeyer72
They did and they were all successful
Hi Ryan! Please do a Pitch Meeting for The Room!
I love these but still would love to see how u would do a pitch meeting about some john hues movies or something like Dirty Dancing
