- Mike and Jay are back at Mr. Plinkett's house and take advantage of his new 125 inch TV to watch the biggest movie event of two weeks ago, Wonder Woman 1984! The movie that eeeeveryone loves!
- Zábava
Kristin Wiigs character was set for failure when young Diana found out that cheetahs never win.
why have you done this to us?
Slide whistle.
That is the truth. And the truth is truly all we have
Wow. It’s the joke everyone’s been making.
Why are you like this?
It was a bold choice of Patty Jenkins to defeat the villain by letting Wonder Woman look straight at the camera and sing Imagine by John Lemon.
Wasn't that song written by Paul Banana?
@@m.w.9899 Yes, I think George Hairyson was also involved in some way.
@@flibbittygibbitt Nope. You're thinking of Patrick Starr.
Are you guys talking about the Bootles?
Hey now, everyone stop this arguing and Kumquat Together.
Her ending speech sounded like a drunk girl trying to give her crying drunk friend a pep talk
Kal-el no
@@moezess4846 Just because they're teenagers doesn't mean they have to watch this shitshow lol
just like the whole script
That is an INCREDIBLE comparison. 🤣
Those drunk girl pep talks can be really inspiring, you know! I can't tell you how many times they've inspired me to stop drunk crying and get out of the middle of the street!
The sudden reveal that her dad taught her an invisibility spell is extra funny when you remember that 90% of that first movie is her sneaking into places
...GOD DAMN IT I HATE THIS MOVIE MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY
Does she have a dad? Wasnt she made out of clay on an all female island?
@@DustinShaneYounce That’s her classic origin, but in more modern retellings that’s just a lie told by her mother to cover up for having broken Themyscira’s laws and banged Zeus
@@jamescollinge5043 Oh, that was in the first movie right? Haven't seen it since it came out and I remember her talking about her being made of clay, so I guess she was lied to? Then when did she meet her father to teach her the invisibility thing?
@@jamescollinge5043 So was Zeus there for her as a father to teach her spells?
She's yelling about "the truth" into a tv camera that somehow transmits to everyone on earth. Didn't Neil Breen make a movie like that?
That's right, Jay.
She needed multiple dead laptops and some satellite dishes attached to the trunk of her car to properly channel her inner Breenery.
@@NefariousKoel Also Tuna, lots of cans of tuna
Don’t you need cameras and microphones to pick up sound and picture and transmit it, not a beam of blue light?
All it was missing was for her to say "Isn't that immoral, isn't that illegal?" and it would have been a perfect Neil Breen speech.
In an earlier script it was revealed that when kristen wiig's character wished to become an apex predator, she turned into kevin spacey
Sheeeeet... well played
Underrated comment of the... Well, not that it has been much of a year, yet.
*slide whistle*
I literally spit out what I was drinking 😂😂💀💀
47:20, they could have just said something like, "wish this could broadcast to everyone,"
Opening act: Cheaters never win.
Final act: Cheetah loses.
@Boy Pussoir And in this scene, you'll notice that the truck she throws the creep into is green. Now, you might think that it's just a green truck, but actually, it symbolizes Cheetahs inability to...
*15 minutes of rambling*
...and that's why it's the best film I've ever seen. Truly powerful. Stanley Kubrick would be proud. - Vague samey film review channel
Well..... As Zazu from Lion King would say-
"Cheetahs never prosper"!
😘👌 - Perfection
It's like poetry, it rhymes
Ohhhhhh...they were cheating by wishing and the antagonist turned into a cheetah. Wow 😳 🤯 I thought this movie was pure garbage but now I realize it’s DEEP. ...very deep.
"Don't cheat. Just enjoy the benefits you had from being born a child of the gods..."
also I am the only person on earth who benefits from renouncing my wish but it is important that I demand that other people renounce theirs to save humanity
“One day you’ll be ready.”
Distressed 7yo Diana: “When!”
@@frankmerker630 I doubt that guy with the machine gun is going to give up on his nukes.
Being scion of literally god is the ultimate cheating
@@roysmith770 I think he did, but I don't think he was ever near a tv though.
The movie would have been way better if when Kristen Wiig wished to be an apex predator she transformed into Rich Evans
She just turned into Jeffery Dahmer.
What's funny is that the Cheatah is the only big cat not considered an apex predator, therefore the wish makes no sense.
Well, they couldn't have done that. Who would be able to suspend their disbelief so far that they could have Wonder Woman still win in the end.
Harvey Weinstein (Slide whistle)
@@frankieb9444 😂😂
This movie was so bad that I walked out of my own house.
😂
this is my new all-time favorite CZcams comment
I saw someone try to watch it on the airplane. They did the same thing.
I saw it with my older brother on Xmas Day, and all I could say when it was over was, "Those superhero movies sure demand an awful lot of suspension of disbelief, don't they?"
4 days into 2021 and we already have the most overused joke of the year. Not a promising start.
Hearing Rich say Crunchyroll is somehow unnerving it's like two worlds that were never supposed to meet
mr. plinkett watches anime...
@@613-shadow9 chilling...
What about Gaia?! That was more double-take inducing for me.
@@613-shadow9 what anime do you think he watches?
@@mrlaz9011 a bunch of Isekai. If he watches Ex-Arm, Mr. Plinkett will end up like Desmond from Smiling Friends if he ended up killing himself in front of Pim and Charlie.
Wishing to become an apex predator and turning into a cheetah is like wishing for the power of flight and turning into a pigeon.
I half hoped she would turn into Godzilla and the movie would actually be fun
I didn't like the movie either, but to be fair, cheetahs are by definition an apex predator. Just sayin'...
Well, they are apex predators, but it would have been funny if she had turned into a saltwater crocodile.
Cheetahs aren't even apex predators in every area. They get killed by lions and leopards, and get bullied by hyenas.
@sooza yeah, and pigeons can fly. Still not ideal
Spoiler - It's an hour of Rich Evans naming streaming services.
Still more entertaining than WW1984
I could swear at one point he says "Boo-boo" TV. I hope that was a gag and not a real thing.
@@john_blues It’s a real thing. For the low, low price of $7.99 + tax each month, you too can watch a nonstop livestream of Honey Boo-Boo (from the hit TLC series, Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo) living out her days as meth-addicted trailer trash.
@@john_blues I had a comment typed up along the liens of " meh, no [insert small streaming service hardly anyone knows about] sp screw that"
Crunchyroll was the first that popped in my mind(and it has it anyway lol)
I'm pretty sure he missed Vudu and Xumo, though.
It feels pretty disingenuous to have someone with immortality and a bunch of other superpowers tell normal people that they don't need their wishes to be happy.
Or a hollywood celebrity. And to suggest that the world is good as it is just shows how removed these people are from the reality of everyday people.
@@jerome1lm Yeah, that too. That's very well said.
It's a nice reminder though of how the world has been during the pandemic.
Be satisfied with the same crap everyone else has. Said every communist regime ever.
@@snoopstp4189 what?
A "nerdy" woman getting bullied by the other employees OF A MUSEUM!
Yeah...that's believable, museum staffs are just crawling with emotionally juvenile jocks and mean-girls. :-|
Honestly that only made sense if they thought she was a lesbian.
@@Michael-on3ku We can only hope...
Best coment! I laughed so hard 😂
"...staff OF A MUSEUM" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That being said, the security staff at the ROM in Toronto are kinda jock-adjacent, finding minimalist of moments to throw their 'weight' around. ...well some of them do, but now you've learned more about some random Canadian museum than you probably wanted out of a youtube comment.
Cheers.
@@ntr10me I'm very glad I know! I've never been to Canada but when I eventually make it to Toronto, I will wave at the ROM and think of you.
The lack of 80s music blew my mind.
It actual took me out of the movie.
I was actively thinking of 80s songs that would fit the scenes, because there were none!
I so wanted Relax to be playing over the party scene!
You had to settle for a different Frankie Goes to Hollywood song from the same album.
@@CJJC So...a song no one in the 80s actual knew.
@@AlanRid At the beginning of the mall scene, part of me really wanted to hear "Let's Go to the Mall" by Robin Sparkles (Scherbatsky)/Cobie Smulders.
Just because none of you lot have heard of Welcome to the Pleasuredome doesn’t mean it wasn’t an authentic 1980s song. Made a change from hearing one of the same ten songs of the era.
2012: "I don't need piracy, I have Netflix!"
2021: "There's so fucking many Netflixes I have to resort to piracy!"
I dont remember anyone saying that. I remember people still saying they would pirate because they didn't want to pay for a subscription service.
It is genuinely a hassle to find out what service a movie/tv show is streaming, especially considering cost factors and also especially if you live outside the United States
@@TheOriginal_Unaleska People definitely said that, though. The problem is not paying for a service. The problem is having to pay for multiple services. "The pirate library" is way better than paying for 1000x individual services. Mind you, some shows cant even be found legally. E.g. Like I cant even get all Love it or List it Too episodes from anywhere. Why is that? Because these ahole people who own these shows hoard them.
HBO MAX isn't available everywhere just like Disney+...
This is accurate! 👍
imagine a kid in Gotham trying to renounce his wish to have his parents back...
Holy shit, you got em there which means that poor little bat obsessed kid had to renounce his wish lol God this movie is horrible. You would think instead of BVS it would have been BVW.
⁰Ppl
Kacha! You nailed it. 👏👏👏
Martha
LoL! That's dark.
I agree with Jay. The style of 80's felt very surface level. barely any 80's music, not a speckle of cocaine lol
oh there was cocaine...
@@circedge clearly not enough cocaine
yeah it's like on the opposite spectrum of captain marvel where that film hammers you that it's set in the 90s this one it barely looks like it's in the 80s.
I feel like this movie could be like, 30% better with 30 minutes cut and 30 more minutes of 80s music
8:47 This is why I love Redlettermedia. I don't think anyone can portray the frustrations of trying to watch a movie at home, especially with friends who are half interested, better than they did here. When Plinkett answers the call about the car warranty I couldn't stop laughing.
@@zeppelinboys *BARK BARK*
It was like a monkeys paw, too. Poor Jay and Mike wished for the downfall of the theaters for a kick add home theater, and then got what they wished for, car warranty calls and all.
I haven't kept up with Half in the Bag for years, but I love that I can click on a random episode and the plot is still about Plinket trying to watch Night Court
I’m glad they’re still running along with the thing that works most with the audience instead of doing a cash grab reboot of it
I'm beginning to suspect he'll never get to watch Night Court.
I love night court!oh judge Anderson!
@@Commanderziff I'm beggining to suspect fixing the vcr isn't actually Mike and Jay's priority.
🤣
"She flys now?!"
"She flys now"
“Somehow Diana flew”
She flies now !
THEY. FLY. NOW!!!!
She.... FLY'S NOW!!!
Literally what I said when I watched the movie
Imagine writing a woman who is supposed to be strong and independent who is so haunted by a man she knew for a week 60 years ago that it nearly destroys the world
"Max Power? Great name!"
"Thanks! I got it off a hairdryer."
I thought the scene where Princess Dianna is in a pretty serious car crash with Egyptians should've been saved for WW97
Underrated comment my dude legit laughed out loud which I never do sitting alone in my room
I laughed because i understood your joke!
my sides are in orbit
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
I was born after that happened and I still find that a top-tier joke, have a hat 🎩
The monologues in this movie sound like they're procedurally generated.
They are procedurally generated. Most things in Hollywood that are all about the status quo are these days.
They are procedurally generated. That's how writing works.
The entire movie sounds procedurally generated.
"You will only become true by realize the truth by accepting the true truthiness of truth through truthality in finding the truth within your truth."
@@luckyduckydrivingschool3615 No, I think that's just a Pete Buttigieg quote.
I wish someone would explain to these Hollywood types that surveillance cameras don't actually store footage inside them.
They could've easily edited WW's entrance being her destroying the cameras instead of making that her exit.
OR, even better. Have her big exciting entrance be the audience seeing the surveillance cameras getting destroyed by something, we don't know yet and assume it's the crooks doing it to cover their tracks (cause they thought that'd work). Then we see WW's entrance being her catch her crown... thing (whatever it's called that she wears on her head) as the camera sticks to WW looking ready to fight those crooks as the music swells. Thoughts?
@@Literally-God You just put more thought into it then they did.
WW84 is one of those films i'm entirely content to just experience through other people's takes on the internet
Just content? I’m grateful! Watching this would have made my head hurt.
@@hinder90 I got as far as the car chase scene in Egypt that scene was laughably bad the slow mo shots really should stay in the early 2000s
"At some point, something has to matter." Jay's rather obvious insight is more profound than anything in this movie.
No Jay, this is the new normal.
Jay doesn't get that this movie is a homage to the cheesy and nonsensical comic book movies of the 1980s...just with CGI and a 2.5hour runtime.
@@tronali5703 The thing with having a homage is that unless it does something new and interesting with the material being referenced, the best it can do is remind you of better media you could be experiencing. If that homage itself is original, that's cool - but at this point we're fetishizing the 80s primarily for an audience that either didn't experience it, or forgot it was an absolute fucking nightmare era of AIDS and nuclear panic.
It's not even nostalgic anymore, just an aesthetic, and one we've seen a thousand times.
@@tronali5703 An awful homage, you mean. Just because something is a homage to something, doesn't make it automatically good.

I thought about that too. Douglas Adams
DON’T PANIC
It takes place in 1984 because Thor: Ragnarok was popular, and it had a retro feel. That's literally it.
Once the first poster came out with the same color pallette as Thor all I saw on social media was people calling it Wonder Women: Ragnorak which was pretty accurate.
Is it really that hard to write 'Ragnarok'? I swear most people write Ragnorok or something like that. I'll give you credit, though, Ragnorak doesn't even sound like the actual word.
@@92brunod You sound like one of those guys that say "Um actually it's octopi."
@@AspenBrightsoul Only if you said 'octipo'
@@stanbrule9357 Finally someone who spells Regirock correctly.
Chris pine looks like the Matt Damon puppet from Team America.

I've liked EVERY Chris Pine movie I've ever seen except for ST Beyond and this stinker. Just look at the maniacal joker like grin on his face when he tells Diana to wish him away.

Now THAT's a movie I would watch
Yea, the Amazonian island of Mascara. Where all the women spend their days painting their eyebrows and giving each other perfect cat eyes. Ruled by their Queen Maybelline. Maybe she's born with it.
Good job. I approve your comment.
Lol
Damn that was a good comment
Im chocked Lmao
I thought it was called Thyroid Mascara
If it's a hereditary title, I'd assume she was definitely born with it. _drum fill_
Jay’s gun changes into a shotgun in the middle of the shooting and then back into a handgun. That whole sequence is fucking hilarious.
It's faster than reloading
Why wasn't this just an hour of Rich talking to himself?
I genuinely expected that, and then a shot of Jay and Mike saying: "Eh. It was fine."
That's precisely what I was expecting. More special Plinkett reviews for outstandingly poor movies.

The funniest thing about this is, he wasn't far off from the actual name which is just hilarious
BTW, "Max Power" is a hairdryer setting.
That's where Homer got his new name from.
@@nicholasvinen Exactly!
Kristen Wigg being jealous of Wonder Woman’s shoes has been the best motivation for a DCCU villain so far.
Yup
It's the universal constant of feminist movies undermining themselves whenever they get into specifics:
Movie: Behold! Our strong, stunning and brave female character!
Audience: Okay. So what kinda stuff does she do?
Movie: Uhh. Hmm. I dunno. She's a woman...so...hmm. I guess...she gets pursued by two hot guys at the same time, creating a love triangle where she has to decide which one she likes most? That's a strong woman thing, right? Right?!
Audience: *facepalm*
It was truly embarrassing I couldn't believe what I was watching and this is the best feminist empowerment has to offer? Not just in this movie but in any series or movie they get their hands on, maybe apart from the silence of the lambs
@@casbyness I'm reminded of Evangeline Lily who only agreed to play Tauriel in The Hobbit movies if she didn't have a love triangle, because she didn't want the movie to add in a new female character in the Tolkein universe just for that. Execs agreed initially, then a few rewrites and corporate meddling later she was in one.
So condescending. I don't even want to watch this movie now.
Speaking of "non-selfish wishes"...sometime in 1984, a young Bruce Wayne wishes his parents were alive, then a few minutes later has to wish them dead once more. This will never come up or be mentioned again.
I saw some edit where the song that played during the scene of the Wayne murder was also playing during WW’s “truth” speech in the bunker. Whether or not that sound played in WW84 I don’t know, but it got me thinking that maybe that speech was directed at Bruce. Might be too clever for that movie tho
@@ctrlmag7107 It is the same soundtrack from BvS, a track titled "A Beautiful Lie"
If he did they would have came back in other people's body like Steve. Batman wouldn't take someone else's life away so that he could have his parents, he'd revoke his wish.
@@oranmcclintock302 it was so weird when that started playing. I actually really like that track but it makes no sense in the context of the movie, it'd be like if Han Solo's theme showed up during the climactic lightsaber fight in Return of the Jedi.
Then people wonder why he is so angry
"Hold on, I have to eat these potato chips while I talk." - Every kid with a mic on video games
51:07 , also how fucked up is it, that this literal superior being, just tells everyone that the status quo is good, and that is the truth and that it should just stay that way?
Really easy for her to say, shes immortal, pretty and strong. but she couldn't have her dead boy toy. very much a "If I can do without my gold plated toilet, then you can do without food or water"
It comes across the same as when rich/powerful christian people tell those suffering from disease/accidents "God has a plan for you". Easy for you to say.
This is Hollywood, where simultaneously they push "rich people are bad" while also being rich and bathing in their wealth, just to be praised for it.
@SA - 12ZZ 751106 John Fraser SS Which is hilarious, because again, that can easily translate into “do not question the status quo because that will only create chaos!” lol

I can't tell how many, if any, of those streaming services are jokes
I think that's the joke. It's gotten to the point where you can't even tell the real ones from the fake ones. There's too many of them.
I think none. Because, yes, somehow even imdb has a streaming service.
@@johnsnow04 IMDB has a streaming service?
@@ahomicidaltaco Yes, called Freedive. Its free probably because nobody will ever pay for that
@@johnt.campbell316 I actually have a disturbing feeling that none of them are fake.
The 'truth' speech landed about as well as the 'imagine' celebrity sing song.
Works great as a short film double feature 🍻
It’s even worse when one appreciates that the person/persons who wrote that awful speech likely wouldn’t know ‘the truth’ even if it jumped up and bit them on the arse... ;)
The irony is the people she's singing 'Imagine' to can't even imagine her playing Cleopatra

It’s not a coincidence she literally learns how to fly after she send Chris Pine away and is free from the shackles of men...
Night Court first aired in January of 1984. Who would have guessed that 36 years later, it would be a pivotal plot point in the intro skit for RedLetterMedia's review of Wonder Woman 1984 (also in January)? It's all so fitting.
It's like poetry. They rhyme.
What's your meaning? Night Court just came out a year ago.

The long winded speeches about truth in the movie all feel like what you’d write to fill up a required word count in your school essay
Yeah, the whole time I was thinking "truth? This movie isn't about truth. It's about *desire*. WW's desire for Steve, Max's desire to be someone. It's about what lengths you're willing to go to for desire... what do they keep talking about truth for, this isn't a PBS show where we need a moral spelled out to us."
@@carlotta4th I think it was more that wish fulfillment is lying to yourself and that she needed to face the reality that she couldn’t have Steve back.

It's hilarious watching Hollywood try to write strong female characters thinking they're doing it for the first time all the while forgetting the strong female characters that were created without trying to.
Wonder Woman is the literal OG strong female character and they fucked it up
Yeah.. you'd think that "strong female characters" are just strong characters that are coincidentally also female. But fortunately Hollywood did their gender studies homework, and learned to recognize a character's Level of Opression (LoO)™ as their single most defining trait. Thus, female characters must obviously be considered *female* first, and *characters* second.
There's a joke about subtle sexism and multilayered irony in here somewhere.
@@NorthernRealmJackal How is that kind of sexism subtle? More importantly, how is this kind of sexism being encouraged by actual women in the West?
@@melfsacidtarot4220 man of wo
i think thats why the first movie was such a hit. It sold itself as a fun summer blockbuster, no artificial female empowerment about it. Its the audience that liked it that decided the movie was a great piece of cinematic feminism, not the other way around, not like Captain Marvel. I have no idea how WW2 was promoted however.
Cheetahs aren't even apex predators, they get their kills stolen and their cubs eaten by lions and hyenas...

Just put in the end of Mad Men, Wonder Woman is meditating and reaches enlightenment while “I’d Like To Buy a Coke” begins to play
The “Ride the Lightning” album from Metallica came out in 1984. Get it? She was riding the lightning. In 1984.
Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry album came out in ‘84 too, I choose to believe there’s an alternate universe where the movie has several uncomfortably silent scenes of Wonder Woman eating tuna while driving a car through the desert.
Had they like... actually worked on the theme of truth... like with some writers who like... understood themes and stuff...
WW lassoing a lightning with her lasso of truth could have worked as a power that is not a mere lie detector but a tool which grabs onto truth... taps into... latches on if you will... to the fabric of reality itself.
Regardless of illusions and delusions.
Then in the end, she could have been connecting to everyone through the power of truth and have them realize the truth that their selfish little materialistic wishes (which all came at a cost) were not worth the destruction of the world, and the mass of that global realization collapsing the "wish field", "wish force", "wish-fish" or whatever it is that Maxipad Trump was broadcasting.
One of my neighbours also came out in 1984 boy what a year.
It's from the comics that predate the said album. Still a great callback. Superhero flicks need more metal in them.
@@JeffTheBunnySlayer that sounds like a Neil Breen film
The chase works in Raiders because we know Jones is just a regular guy and can die at any moment... This is a superhero movie where the protagonist is a demi-god... Even though they tried to create tension by making her lose her powers but the problem is we know she can't die so it deflates the tension.
Yes find it strange that Patty Jenkins, who’s father was a fighter pilot, has such inaccuracies with the aviation stuff.
She didn't write it.
@@MovieMagic515 yes she did. They let her create the whole narrative. And that, I believe, is what doomed the movie from the get go. A good directer isn't necessarily a great writer.
That opening. Clone wars. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Boooooo.. Take your verified comment elsewhere!
It was so dense that every single second had so much going on.
But does this video contain horseysause? Horseysause?

I knew it was over the moment Diana tell Wiig that she's so funny and personable at dinner based on a joke or conversation that takes place off-screen, before the scene starts.
The classic tell don’t show
My all time favorite is the cold cut in with 2 characters just laughing and saying something reminiscent to only them and immediately dropping the subject to discuss the plot.
Fucken hell that distracted me.
This is what happens when a writer hears the phrase “start late, end early” and doesn't actually get what it means.
@@nackskott12 explain?
I'm pretty sure the aircraft they steal is a General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark. They have (had; they've been retired from service) an operational range of 4,200. It's about 5,800 miles from DC to Cairo, so, no, the plane they stole absolutely couldn't make it from DC to Cairo. In the military, the plane would probably be refueled midair by a KC-135 based in Europe.
Is that range on internal fuel or loaded with drop tanks? One way or round trip? The F111 was one of the longest range fighter-bombers ever made but yeah, 5800 miles without refueling is a real stretch.
Maybe the Invisibility spell reduced drag so they gained some range, or a wizard did it.
51:11 I loved the line: "the illusion of emotion, the illusion of something grand happening". This is got the footage and music fools you. Basically that was like the whole Cloud Atlas to me
When they got to Dianas speech at the end, it hit me.
This is more or less a Neil Breen Movie.
Both in it´s foundation and it´s execution.
Isn't that immoral???
I've only watched the tuna movie, but what Neil Breen made there was so strange that it was almost arthouse instead of junk. So I think it is a disservice to compare it to a comic movie.
@@democrrrracymanifest NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A BREEN!
It’s a magical day!
I heard Rich Evans only agreed to this cameo on the condition his character would be killed off. Such a great send off.
Ehh. They'll pay him a bunch of money and he'll be back as a 'memory' in two episodes time. He'll forgive Jay for killing him and absolutely won't be a force ghost in any way.
he's immortal according to the lore
"I don't care."
-Harrison Ford
As usual, I totally agree with Jay. I said the same points during the movie. Especially on the point about it barely referencing the 80s. It flooded 80s references at the start for sure, but then it was just the occasional "oh yeah it's the 80s, throw in an old car or piece of clothing".
"One day you'll become everything you dream of and more". Way to set your child up for failure.
Well, the person saying it is doing it to the child of the god of gods while trying to teach that child to take the long cut and not get greedy etc.
Tbf she is saying it to the fucking kid of zeus
"It's implied that they have sex."
"I don't rememer that"
THEY WAKE UP NAKED IN BED TOGETHER, MIKE
They missed a lot of very obvious things in this movie. I think they were bored and not paying attention
@@TheRabidDeer can't really blame them tbh.
THEY HAD UNDERWEAR ON
justaguy12345
Sex isn’t always in the nude.
Maybe they were cold? Or there was no other bed, I'm sure it was very innocent.
IMagine the child cancer patients, the burn wards, the blind, the deaf. Everyone who wished to help themselves that cancelled their wish because a hot chick told them to "love what they had".
The script was incredibly stupid.
I understand what they were going for, and it was a noble attempt, but just like with time travel, when you introduces wishes in a movie, everything can go to shit in the hands of no so good writters.
It would come at a price though if a blind person wished to see it would take away their hearing etc.
There were literally giant posters that said NO NUKES (and right below Diana's apartment), someone def would've wished for no nuclear war...
"I'm sorry, sweethearth. I know having our daughter back after she died in that school shooting was amazing, but this lady is saying that the truth is enough, so we're gonna have to send her back."
I really liked the part where Wonder Woman steals the plane. And Steve looks in the camera and says "What are we, some kind of suicide squad?"
About the 80's factor: yes, they made it clear the movie was set in the 80s and they played that up A LOT. The problem is that it never felt, like the actual 80s. Rather, it felt like the 80s seen through a cynical 2020s perspective, fake and somewhat distorted. Like the way that almost every single man in the movie (especially in the first half) is portrayed as a lecherous hound that treats women as trophies and objects. Yes, it was another time where such behaviour was more prevalent, but the way it's depicted in this film is almost comical.
Btw, even if she were to turn a plane invisible to the naked eye, it would still show up on radar, would it not?
I actually thought they were going to list streaming services for the whole hour long video and never get to the movie.
Glad I occasionally peruse the comments first. I had this exact thought.
Thumbs to you over me saying the same. Before they stopped, I was kinda hoping for a repeat of the Star Wars Holiday Special review.
@@hooptiejones They totally would have done that if it weren't January
Same.
Yeah I thought it was gonna be like the Maze Runner review
The slow closeup of Jay while he loses the will to live is the funniest thing I’ve seen this year. I laughed out loud.
And that's saying a lot given that this year is 8 minutes long so far.
Imagine The Incredible Hulk Lonely Man theme along with it. Waterfalls.
That was brilliant. Finally can watch a film without the drawbacks of a public cinema...
That hit home for me as that's literally how much noise there is during the day in my house, he'll even worse... It's the reason I wait pass 11PM to watch shit
I clapped.
This is one of my all time favorite movies, simply because the studio spent millions on a movie that essentially went straight to home video, only for it to become comparable to any of the hundreds of B-movies that RLM reviews on a regular basis
It's a shame Wonder Woman couldn't make Batman's Troop Carrier plane disappear when they reached Steppenwolf's holdout. It would have made their mission easier...
Its also a shame Wonder Woman didn't make herself disappear when she was in no man's land fighting off snipers in the first movie.
@@Story2ScreenMovieReviewPodcast she should've used her speech on Darksied, I'm sure he would've kept searching for anti-life somewhere else
Or use the fancy armor after getting her ass kicked.
I love how the movie was so forgettable that Mike just started calling Pedro Pascal's character 'Max Powers' lmao.
Pedro Pascal is actually a good actor, too bad he was wasted in this movie.
Dude plays football for Sunderland :D & also a film editor aswell as a successful car magazine!
That’s more effort than just plainly calling him by the actor’s name like Chris Pine lol
Mike annoyed me little as Jay was right. Very little of the movie has anything to do with the 80s.
This review came out within an hour of me finishing the movie. I starting watching the review and completely forgot that his name was not actually Max Powers until I saw this comment.
The payoff to that 18 minute opening should have been that in the fight with cheetah she kills her instantly and cheetahs last words are "how" then wonder woman says "Because cheetahs never win"
Wow holy shit that would have redeemed so much of the writing. Bravo.
I like it
@@Davidsworldtravels Thank you I was extraordinarily high
What I dont get is how Wonder Woman makes a massive deal about stopping WW1 but does fuck all about WW2. We just skip to 1984! Its like nothing bad happened before that, was she just sitting around doing her nails or something.
She could have destroyed all nukes in the middle of the Cold War. Or beat Reagan to single-handedly toppling the Berlin Wall. AIDs would have been a timely thing to cure…
......the flashback to her on mascara, or whatever the f**k her planet is"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 17:39
FUN FACT: WW84 was written by the same screenwriter that wrote the 2005 masterpiece “DOOM”. Everything makes some sort of nonsense now
Yeah it's weird, because the 2017 Wonder Woman is hands down the best DC film of its era (barring the Nolan batman movies)
Doom is a fucking treasure
Yeah I’m pretty sure Geoff Johns has been like the Kevin Feige of the DC movie franchise, which would explain why everything is terrible
Ha ha, I was suprised by that too! Going from Synder to that guy who wrote Doom (the film was in 2005, Doom from ID was way before that younglings)
@@frankmerker630 johns is an awesome comic writer and also he's not the Fiege that's Walter Hamada
I was surprised that WW didn’t say 'Love, Life, Laughter' in her closing speech. Most of her dialogue sounds like it came from the inspirational plaques you find in gift shops.
"I pinned this on my wish board..."
'Home is family'
This is about the level of intelligence the female director was capable of.
"Eat, Shit, Die"
yeah cause a woman wrote it
Someone thought the idea of Chris Pine's character having an 80's outfit try on montage was hilarious and this is the entire reason the movie in set in the 80's. No other reason makes sense because this scene does not belong in this movie.
As a big comic fan I have 2 say there are some great wonder women stories out there. Allot of talented comic authors have taken the character in exciting directions and there are some great arcs that could be made straight into a movie. It’s sad that with the decades worth of stories that have been written about her they couldn’t find any inspiration to tell a decent story
Mike is wrong, Jay is correct - they wasted the 80's setting.
Would it add anything to the story though? I don’t see the point other than people going to it because 80’s nostalgia (as if anyone gives a shit about that garbage anymore)
Its wasted sure but it is everywhere, the cars, the clothes the dialog the idioms the style of interiors
@@skeletorpfunk6342 It had to take place before any of the other DC heroes were running around otherwise it would have needed to include them.
@@skeletorpfunk6342 thats exactly the point. This story has nothing to do with the fact that it was set in the 80's so it wont matter anyway. They should've go with entirely another plot that has nothing to do with nostalgia because even in that aspect they didnt even deliver
@@ralphengland8559 that's writing the movie for the writers. It's also an awful crutch. What you should have said is "it had to take place chronologically before the other Dceu heroes started their sagas because the writers don't want to have to think about the other characters of the universe". It also failed miserably because there are visual references to cultural artifacts that didn't exist at the time setting of the movie. It's both lazy and done poorly.
Rich Evans saying the word "crunchy roll" knowing he had to search that up made me laugh out loud.
@@caucasoidape8838 or maybe he was just going down the list of streaming services??
@@CarrotConsumer there are some games that are quite "weeby" too though.
I can't believe during the lightning scene they did not play Ride the Lightning which came out in 84
“Batman can carry a movie without a love interest”
Oh my good god the only Director to ever realize that was Zack Snyder...
Joel Schumacher?
@@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786 nope, In both of his movies Bruce has a love interest
@@cobra1xtz I was going to argue Nolan until I remembered the random hook up at the end of TDKR. Nolan might know how to make a good move but he couldn't depict romance if his life depended on it. That's why all his heroes love interests are dead or estranged.
>get internet celebrity Rich Evans
>kill his character
Wouldn't be surprised if he never did anything with RLM again.
They all die from COVID
Sorry, Rich doesn't do podcasts.
You really think they can afford a superstar like Rich Evans for more than one scene? Those hack frauds are lucky he was willing to do this much.
Wait, that's Rich Evans!? But that's a different guy!
It's okay it was just a clone
