Annnnd im gone lol.. I made it to about 9mins and he lost me 😅 If he actually like M Night, that is fine. That is his business but I dont have to listen to it.
do you have a favorite director?
@@clankclankimatank I do. Why?
@@AllyJ1141 just curious . Maybe your favorite director is very unlike Shamalan
@@clankclankimatank My fav director is actually Steven Spielberg
Did you just expect 2 1/2 hours of dunking, based on the title?
The last Airbender is like starving yourself so you can appreciate you spouses cooking
I really ought to disagree. It was a fun, overproduced and dumb re telling of a great fucking series, if only they would have made the 2 other books for that sweet sweet nostalgia😩😩
@@aturchomicz821I'm so glad they didn't. It was such a vapid retelling of an already excellent animation that honestly didn't need to be made.
I wanna say the true value in The Last Airbender is in showing the power of animation as a medium capable of doing things that simply can't be translated to 'live action' effectively, and should be taken more seriously. The entire production reeks of people who didn't take it seriously because in their mind it was based on a cartoon for babies and not worthy of any more effort than it was given.
@@NuvizzleThat's pretty much the impression I got when I first saw TLA film. First of all, they tried to make the film super serious, almost to the point of being grim. Aang, Katara and Sokka were kids, and in the animation, were shown to be playful like kids generally are. It was serious when it needed to be, but also light hearted. The film had none of that, and it just came across as soulless. It felt almost like Aang wakes up after an apocalypse into a world devoid of life and everything is dire. It's almost as if Shyamalan didn't know a damned thing about the characters or setting of the film at all.
"It's Brucing time. Let's get Willicing!" is at risk of creeping into my everyday vocabulary.
I ruined The Sixth Sense for myself by accidentally guessing the twist during the opening credits. I ruined it for my mom as well, by turning to her and saying "wouldn't it be funny if.."
its funny how obvious the twist is when watching the movie again. so many scenes are so obviously strange, where people just completely ignores willis in ways that make absolutely no sense.
@@jeffiot had a whole essay to explain how your reply isn't really the cheap shot you think it is, but just shows your own inability to either comprehend, analyze or internalize information, regardless hope you grew wiser as a person since that comment. Even tho my money is that you will probably continue spewing ignorance in complete self confidence for another decad.
@@chaosking911 decad
@@chaosking911how is his reply a cheap shot. It's a valid criticism of the movie
@@chaosking911Huh? 😂
“Aaaaa I’m insane with anger!” Has similar energy to “disaPOINTEED”
Yes! Sebastian gets me every time. Just so goofy.
I came for Final Destination lore, I was astounded by The Mystic Trumpeting Skull, and now I am captivated by you just talking for 2.5 hours. So much quality
Why is that my same order I watched it in💀
That’s literally the order the algorithm fed him to me, with the exception that I went out of my way to watch the Toy Story one when I clicked on his channel
I came for the trumpet, then the final destination and now this.
I think that's how he hooks us all!!
Same as you but I started with the Toy Story one
The avoidance of the last airbender still makes me laugh
There is no live-action adaptation in Ba Sing Se.
@@Shadethewolfynot yet anyways, netflix might release one. Or that has to be wiped from history too.
@@fulopmeszaros5330well it wasn't that bad
@@VisceralSupreme haven't seen it yet, I heard good things and hate too. The hate came from people who wouldn't be satisfied by nothing but perfect, or just speak out of nostalgia though.
@@fulopmeszaros5330yeah I've watched a lot of the original show, it's probably one of my favourite shows, and I think the netflix adaptation was fine. did some cool stuff like the crew thing, and did some not so cool stuff, but overall a live action adaptation of a show that only worked so well because it was a cartoon was never going to be great
"But he's a SKELETON?!!!"
I don't know why but the way you say that in the opening always gets me
I watched all 226.48 minutes at normal speed, and am glad I live in a world where a few patreon dollars can go to creating such a masterpiece.
226 minutes?
146 minutes, my man lol
maybe there's 226.48 minutes in the extended Patreon cut... there's only one way to find out
(i don't _think_ there is an extended patreon cut lmao)

That entire bit with Will Smith was edited so well and got genuine chuckles out of me
The only reason I watched 'Lady in The Water' was bc when I first looked at the dvd cover at my aunt's place, I mistook the titular lady for being Elijah Wood and that intrigued me.
Only to find out that it was find fact not Mister Frodo as a mermaid. It was, as you said, Ginger.
But at that point I was already so mesmerized by all the quirky characters that I kept watching.
I do love me some urban fairytales.
to clarify, I don't think she looks like Elijah Wood in general, literally only on the cover
Never knew what it was about but the cover for the dvd is great ngl
Oh my gosh, I promise-to-goodness, I also thought it was Elijah Wood on the cover!! That is wild!
Which is funny because I knew it was Bryce Dallas Howard and that's exactly the reason I watched it 😂
I have one better. In the mid 2000s I watched _The Devil Wears Prada_ because I completely misunderstood the title of the movie and put far too much weight on Devil. I thought it was a thriller and was still waiting for the fashion magazine subplot to yield to the main story when the credits rolled.
„The balls store the piss“ 💀
Amazing that you don’t have more traffic, great work.
This is literally the funniest thing I've ever seen on CZcams, and I'm not sure if that reflects more on my personal taste or the quality of the bit, but I feel like a happier person having seen it.
2h26m to naaaaaail the last air bender? This is no mere man
The "i've got no bars" joke got me so good lol
How did I miss the news that M. Night Shyamalan, of all people, tried to do his own MCU? Wild.
the visit could have been amazing if instead of the "escaped crazy people" reveal, the premise of the film was just that the mom didn't realize that the grandparents were senile, and the horror could have come from being kids stuck with caretakers who couldn't take care of themselves while unable to contact their mom
Yes but mentally ill people are scary and should be demonised is easier to make.
Idk about that
Yeha just weaponize mental illness as much as possible that's always his solution usually anyways.
that just kind of sounds even less interesting i cant lie
true!! that would’ve been way scarier imo, it’s much more real
HOW?!?! Explain to me how Jeffiot doesn't have tens of thousands of subs already.
The production quality here is amazing, the script is always funny and interesting and the video length is youtubes golden algorithm.
It just doesn't make sense!
Right!? I read this comment, then went to check the view count and... what!?
Well, his most recent one seems to have blown up so he will
I’ve been watching likeing and commenting on everything this man will become big if all those drew gooden copy cats can get into the algorithm this man will too
Like CJ the X
This is his third video I'm watching and he's already my current favorite creator! I can't believe he's only at around 100k at this moment
Making us listen to the entire rap from The Visit is the greatest torture you could inflict upon us all, you monster.
This video hasn't necessarily improved my opinions of M. Night. Shyamalan. Many of my reservations about him still hold true for me. I still feel that he demonizes mental illness in a way that is really gross consistently. But I legitimately appreciate this video for showing me what he does do well, and for showing me why someone would hold him in such high esteem.
Legitimately, this video was enlightening. Thank you for the watch.
Haven't watched the video yet but what do you mean demonizing? If you're talking about split then I don't know what to say, my whole family loved that movie and both my parents have worked countless jobs with mentally ill people, so if there was a problem with it they would've 100% seen it, instead they both love the movie.
not people calling DID a mental illness please god. its not depression. its not anxiety. even if it almost always comes from trauma its an adaption its not an illness. fuck sake.
@@Rukushin ...DID is a mental health condition. It's listed under the NHS's mental health conditions list. It's a psychiatric disorder. You'd never guess what else is a psychiatric disorder; Depression and Anxiety (which can also be an adaptation from Trauma, which is why a lot of people with other disorders that can cause trauma; i.e. Autism, ADHD, etc, are more likely to develop Anxiety/Depression.)
@@kakesleep6620no one is omniscient. just because someone "works with mentally ill people" doesnt mean you would have "100% seen it" lol? like, are you implying that if i work with people of colour then i will 100% always see all racism anywhere? for all races? because i worked with SOME people of colour? is that how you think it works? "i now am the arbiter of what is and isnt demonising mental illness because i worked with some mentally ill people. no i do not have a mental illness why do you ask?"
@@Rukushin That's fair. I did mistakenly bundle multiple mental conditions under the umbrella of illness in this comment incorrectly. I will make a point of using the word condition in future.
That said, I was referring to a broader pattern between the visit, the village, old, the unbreakable trilogy, as well as to a lesser extent some of his other films. I wasn't strictly referring to DID here. My point was that there's a pattern of poor representation and demonization of mental health conditions throughout his work.
Showing a picture of Alan Resnick while talking about Kubrick is genius comedy, 10/10 no notes
No idea what you're talking about
I'm sick right now and that bit of mispronouncing the director's names for the funnies made me think he was legit talking about Alan Resnick. I genuinely watched that part like 6 times thinking "why is the wham city comedy guy here, i don't think he made 2001..."
TUTORIAL!
@@jeffiotLet me just say I appreciate you and your content I've gone down a rabbit hole following you and that's been the one of the best holes I've into in a while😅
Keep it up I foresee much success in your future sir!
yea had to do a double take 😭jeffo is my favurit youtuber now
I think M night movies would all be great if someone could properly put the safety on for him. Lucas is similar in that his movies are great when given the freedom to pitch almost anything and someone tells him no.
Absolutely.
No, Jeff, you can for sure say you're a better actor than Marky Mark. (The bar may be set very low, but still 😂)
Mark walburg used to be one of my favorite actors as a child but as I get older and learning his history there's nothing good about his performances in serious movies unless it's Ted or Daddy's home of Mark is the main character you can miss me with it lol
What? No!
Thank you for another documentary of you slowly descending into madness :D
its what i do (apparently)!
My hindi workmate, hes an older fulla, says the same thing about god. it doesnt matter who youre praying to or what you believe in, you just need a relationship with the divine. apparently my atheist arse feeling the vibe at rock concerts counts in his books. my favourite kind of theist by far!
"Grumps Williams was a goblin??" Had me chuckle so hard I nearly choked on my lunch.
Fantastic vid through and through. Rarely does a 2 and a half hour stay so consistently funny throughout. Great job on the edits too. Some of the green screen gags had me dying.

Dude that line about her changing perspective being like having more colors but them being less vibrant is so good, because the wording makes sense because of what kinds of words she would've known at the younger age, and her level of education.
It's a good line because it's stolen and slightly reworded.
@@gladspooky9455 Indeed? Where does it originate?
@@impartialthrone2097the comic Sandcastle, which M. Night adapted to make the movie Old
I honestly find M. Night's work hit or miss at best, outright amateur at worst... and truthfully, I still think he is a middling director with some very creative ideas, who stumbles into success here or there. He's not a hack, but neither is he a genius. Regardless of my opinion on M. Night, however, I still sat through the entire runtime of this video because listening to your passion was enthralling. You are a joy to listen to, truly. So even if you didn't make me completely change my opinion on M. Night's films, I still thoroughly enjoyed hearing you talk about them. Also, I guess Signs is a little better than I remembered. Cheers, mate
I think the guy is very creative and has many good ideas. And he surely knows how to operate a camera. Unfortunately, he also has many bad ideas, and it looks like he is the kind of person who can't tell wich ideas are good and wich are bad. His movies would benefit a lot if someone helped with that, telling him what to NOT put in a film.

You have no idea how unreasonably happy this Front Bottoms reference made me. I am a huge fan of their music and that small reference was enough to make me smile like an idiot.
same :)
This video is just insane. As a Cutter/Editor, I know excatly how much effort went into writing, filming and especially editing the whole process (making you sit in the train with the actors for 2.5 seconds - enormous editing effort for that short piece). Producing a 2 1/2 hour video with that much creative elements... and it "just" took you two months... If I didn't get this detail I would have thought about the double of that time. I think that is kind of fast.
I'm new to your channel (thanks to the jazz skeleton video) and I really like how much thought you put into a video. I guess you are overthinking everything but well... that's the thing I like about your videos. It's always a journey and you take us with you and let us look into your thought process.
I really appreciate this video because it stands against everything the YT algorythm would prefer. It's the antithesis to popular CZcams for people with low attention span and not fleshed out points. Thank you for delivering videos that I need.
Oh yeah and a second ghost capturing video would be nice. I loved everything about it :)
I'm sorry jazz SKELETON video???? That sounds glorious!
Oh yeah on editing time most the creators I follow with heavy editing will hire extra editors so and the whole team does this almost full time but it’s having 2-3 people in editing that gets it cut down to 1-2 months for them
honestly, i have a low attention span (ADHD) and it actually HELPS me pay attention when things are so well crafted as this. i can’t watch iceberg videos because they’re so loosely structured and it’s just a bunch of “here’s this thing. here’s another thing” and i can’t for the life of me make myself listen to it, despite how much i love hearing people talk about their passions. the iceberg videos on this channel, though? i never once zoned out. even people with low attention spans can enjoy longform media (and i actually prefer it), as long as it has structure and is engaging. i mean, i guess i can’t speak for everyone, but it works for me

What a fun watch! Worth the wait, I had no idea there was a Shyamalan trilogy! Oh, don't forget to add the chapters!
thank you for the reminder. will get on that asap.
I'd give The Last Airbender movie props for something different, namely some of the visual design.
Aang's (or Oong's) arrow looks good and is a great adaptation of what that arrow might look like in real life.
The fire nation army ships looked really good.
That's all I got tho.
Rainworld
Yue's actress was probably the best thing about the film, so much so that she came back and voiced one the most popular characters in Korra. I wonder how many people are aware that Asami was in The Last Airbender?
@@flyingpiggy1475 I only know why you say that because someone else pointed it out a while ago.
I've got this pfp for longer than his channel existed though.
@@Powersd451 still, cool game. You should play it
The music was okay. I think "the music did not turn me insane, the dialogue and acting did" is a compliment to whoever made the score so there's that!
You're giving favorite middle school history teacher energy and I'm here for it
I was convinced that "Devil" was an M Night, which I suppose he is, but only written credit. I loved how this was an essay on your love for him as I am a massive fan :)
you have such a charming way of giving info, such a nice tempo and a friendly tone with really good jokes
i'm so surprised you have less than 500k subs!
Okay, I am a new follower from the trumpet skull video and I just have to say wow! I can’t like this video enough! I wish I could give hundreds of likes to this video. The composition is *chefs kiss* and I just have to say thank you SO much for making this!
Also Signs is one of my favorite movies! I somehow never realized how much I like m night.
I’m constantly bamboozled by how well produced and fun your videos are, keep it up man :)
so good. i have a new appreciation for this goofy director
im happy to hear it. he do be goofy.
both Split and Glass handles DID quite badly.
like, not even bc of the superpower stuff, since the context is that it's actually sorta incidental rather than the disorder being the cause of the power.
But bc of stuff like "the real personality", as that is just not a thing. All the alters are equally real and part of a single whole, which also leads to the problem with the common and harmful stereotype of the "Evil Personality", no alter would go as far as committing murder unless all of the alters wanted it.
And destructive alters are way more likely to harm their own body than anyone else.
So the only way to have made Mr Beast make sense would be to have Kevin deep down share those same values and desire to kill, he just never had the guts to act on it.
Like... I feel like these movies are on some level trying to represent DID somewhat accurately at times, but that kinda makes it worse than if they had made thing completely inaccurate.
I could even see, in a vacuum, an "evil personality" making sense in context of a more fantastical story, but with how overused that trope is and how much it's stigmatized real life ppl with DID, it just doesn't rly feel worth it to me.
No to mention due to the Unbreakable reveal being so late into the film most ppl who only saw Split but had not seen Unbreakable then just saw DID being portrayed as something mystical, supernatural and sinister within a seemingly normal world for seemingly no reason.
Yeah, I was thinking about this while I watched that part, wondering if he would mention it. Ultimately, I can see why he might not have, considering this is a video about finding positives in films that up-front are immediately declared as flawed by most people.
But I do still think it bears saying that Split (I haven't seen Glass so I can't really speak on it past what Jeff has said here) really did a piss poor job at explaining and characterizing a person suffering from DID.
In MNS defense, Dr Fletcher mentioned that "some" DID case she handled manifest physically in a way that's only possible within the film universe (DID won't save you from rising insulin price in real world, for example).
Moon Knight arguably have the same problem with violence tendency of the alters, but the backlash against Split was more pronounced. Probably due to his role as villain rather than hero.
To be completely fair he’s not misrepresenting on purpose he’s just taking what the comics say
@@bepamungkas!spoiler! For moonkight
I have to disagree with the moonknight example mark is a mercenary he is more than willing to kill people he just prefers to kill people who are evil (mark is the main personality sorry to ruin the plot twist)
Thanks captain obvious... literally everyone knows this already. Why you had to write an essay about it is the real mystery
This is all so amazing and well done. I did not like Signs but now i respect it. I figured out the twist in The Village and thought it was mediocre but Jeffiot made me realize that i was overlooking the good details in it.
My man, what did you do to make Mr. Algorythm not like you? CZcams cannot be considered just until it promotes you. I am handing you out to everyone I can think of. I know I'm just a some dude and that doesn't mean much but hopefully other people will do the same.
And chance of you collaborating with a bigger name so you can get the exposure?
Thanks!
As far as collabs with bigger channels go: not up to me, really! tweet and message your favourite creators (without bothering them) and maybe it'll happen!
@@jeffiot If I had any reach I would use it! Instead I have decided to do something I told myself I would never do...I am going to join a patreon. This is what you've done to me! I need this content!
This is genuinely one of the best videos I’ve stumbled upon in a while. I don’t remember the last time I was able to actually watch a 2+ hour video start to finish without taking a break. The months of work put into it were definitely well spent!
Oookay I'm only 10 minutes in but I'm utterly hooked and on board for the duration, I just need to make sure I've got enough snacks and drinks for next couple of hours.
How on earth does this only have 3k views? How has this channel not already exploded? It surely can't be far off. Your jazz skull video brought me here and that is Hbomberguy levels of awesome.
Congrats on your amazing work and thank you very much for providing my Christmas Eve entertainment!! god Jul!
Watching an M.Night Syamalans film? 🙅♂🙅♂🙅♂Watching a video analysis of every M.Night Syamalans ✅✅✅
i’ve been binge-watching a ton of your videos since discovering your channel and ngl as a shyamalan fan i was a little scared when i clicked on this video but i audibly yelled “let’s fucking GO” when the twist came, thank you jeffiot for passing along the good word 🙏
You can't just drop Ace of Base on us in the first 20 seconds without a trigger warning for all us fragile elder milennials, shit hits too hard for these dusty corpses..
I know it’s pretty much an extended bit but defining the value of a bad folm like that is really good. Seeing the value of a bad piece of media not to laugh at it but as a way to measure other media is really nice. I will be adding it to my range of ways to appreciate garbage
I've seen two of your videos so far and they've both blown me away! Can't wait to watch more tomorrow.
Gasoline makes fumes, the fluid doesn't burn the fumes do. You light that match surrounded by gasoline and youd go up in a huge poof of flames and then be covered in burning gasoline having your face used as a wick.
The end of the video is hilarious, your sense of humor is awesome!
The payoff at the end of this highly entertaining video essay brought me more joy than I could have expected. Thank you for this.
I know it's not directed by M. Night but he also wrote Devil which is... interesting. Little sad it wasn't included but I get it.
Oooh yes. Devil. I'd have preferred if the jelly toast man was the Devil. Would've been a better twist. But I like it just the same.
Imagine him spending the dozens, maybe hundreds of hours it took to watch all of these movies and write this script, only to realize he missed one lmao
Lady in the Water gave me the worst migraine I’ve ever had, and I’ve got 25 years of chronic migraines to compare it to. I have never before or since encountered a movie I hated so viscerally that it made me physically ill.
(You didn’t convince me that Shyamalan isn’t a miserable hack, but you’re a fantastic filmmaker, I have subbed, keep making things)
that color dialogue is amazing, hit me so hard when I watched it.
First off, this was a marvelous piece of entertainment. You certainly are good at what you do sir, from the summary, to the scripting, to the filming you've made a fantastic video.
Secondly, that background music hit me right in the nostalgia. From the golden age of flash games.
This is amazing. I literally just snorted at “I didn’t expect newborn”
You are my new favorite channel, my guy
Brilliant.. the village is my favorite. It was just marketed so it looked more horror and I had many friends let down by it.
Merry Christmas and happy birthday Jeff.
Fick you for inserting the clockwork Orange scream into the freestyle segment, I was mid vape and coughed up a lung
LOL
So happy to have found your channel, it's hilarious, insightful and your analytical breakdowns are great.
Been watchin your Skull Trumpet, Sad Scp videos and now this. When this is all over your definitely gonna be remembered as one of the best youtubers oat, the quality is insane.
I love that you showed what's his toes from Wham City Comedy instead of Kubrick. 😂
Good work here, man. Some of your best stuff :)
The production and editing level you put into your videos is absolutely amazing and it is truly surprising you don't have millions of subs. I have no doubt that you will eventually and highly look forward to that day. Please keep up the amazing work these video essays are amazing.
Your editing is so damn good. Also, I'm glad to see some love for M. Night Shyamalan!
I already thought you were hilarious but the front bottoms joke really sold the subscribe
I've never seen one of your videos before this, and I enjoy a few of Shyamalans films, but im not a massive fan, nor do I hate his work. I must say I watched this from start to finish in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for making this.
I'm really glad your Jazzskull video got recommended to me so I could find your channel. You've done so much excellent work and I'm going through all your old videos like a stoner with a case of white castle sliders. But your videos are much better than white castle sliders. I'm off track.
Thanks you for making these and even when your older videos weren't performing so well on the algorithm, for having the strength to persevere and keep creating. I really love these and I'm excited for more. When I get in a more financially secure situation after my move in March I'm absolutely planning on becoming a Patron.
The bionicle analogy made me cackle like a child. Delightful, thank you
I love how you analyze these scenes. It's such a wonderful take on imperfect movies, the idea that everything has some nugget of gold. And the mashed potato scene did not have to go that hard holy shit
My favs (in order): Signs, Unbreakable, Lady in the water, and The Village. ---- However, I honestly didn't know about some of these. I'm going to give them a go, even though they've been "spoiled". (For me? Spoilers don't really matter much, it's about the whole experience). Thanks for doing this it was really fun actually.
(Also hotdogs are kind of underrated, I get his mindset)
I'm so happy youtube randomly recommended your channel in my feed. Where have they been hiding you, your videos are great!
I watched signs on a tiny 4:3 tv in black and white at like 10 years old. Very very spooky, i think it really added to the experience
Split has done a thousand time more damage to the public perception of DID than teenagers on tiktok could ever do. But that's just because For Some Reason people think the movie where a guy crawls on walls is real life
I have sundowned from icu psychosis and now sometimes do it when I’m sick. I reference “the visit” to explain this and NO ONE knows what I’m talking about
Also I’m loving this video. Made me subscribe
what an insanely good video. never once did it play as background noise, sat down and watched my screen for the whole thing. such fantastic presentation!!!
This video was such a beautiful love letter. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said M. Night is at his best mixing family drama and cool stuff. I didn’t realize it before, but all my favorite movies do that. Wonderful video
Stående ovationer. Bravissimo!
the artist formerly known as grandma 😂
Thank you for finally making me watch the only two MNS films I've yet to see. I had to skip your recap for those ones, but I'm going to watch them then return. Amazing video as always!
Fantastic work sir! 👏 👏 👏
I truly enjoyed every minute of that, I had never heard of you before this video and I genuinely don't know why you were in my recommended but I'm glad you were because if this is the quality of content you produce then you have already shot up as one of my favorite finds on the Internet, let alone CZcams. I am a 30 something year old cynical man who has seen too much trash on the world wide web but every now and again i stumble upon a gem or a piece of gold, you sir are the diamond in the rough. Bravo and keep it up brother! And congrats on a 100k subs! Well deserved!
I really wanna urge everyone to go check out what actual DID is. It's such a more interesting and komplex disorder than the movies portray. Split and Glass really took out allt the most interesting parts of it haha.
yes !! i think it could be cool to have some kind of fantasy story about DID changing the body in extreme ways like that, but probably not in a story where the DID system is the bad guy, considering how stigmatized the disorder already is. but agreed, it's not needed to make DID interesting. i'd love to see a story that goes into stuff like inner worlds!
If I put on a movie (like Old) that people haven't seen so they don't know it's a Shaymalan film, anyone else who ends up watching with me consistently likes them.
The freestyle rap killed my fucking airpod and now I have to finish listening to it where everyone else can hear me listening to it.
Signs had a scene filmed in my old hometown (Pharmacy scene was shot at Burns Pharmacy in Morrisville, PA) along with other scenes across Bucks County, so yes there is good to me because local stuff rules.
I would say the writing is inconsistent. At times it's REALLY GOOD but then it very much isn't. And I think that may just make the bad stuff stand out even more, leading to general bad reception.
ur channel is criminally underrated bro, i just found u from twitter n im blown away!! hope ya shit blows up sometime soon 😊😊
Found your channel a few days ago, was not expecting to enjoy your vidoes the the extent that i have. Couldnt be more happy to be wrong!
Damn, you have a lot of funky ties!
I never had any deep appreciation for Shyamalan, but I never heard that he is considered a bad director eather (apart from spectacular failure of Airbender). I think I always thought that his films just kinda neat ¯\_( ツ )_/¯
Before the making of this video, my collection of funky ties was significantly smaller. Had to stock up once I realized how many movies I had to cover.
Thanks for watching!
[REDACTED]'s choreography was *not* the best part lmao
Like, nothing in the movie was the best part but the choreography might have been the low point of the movie
I am aware that he was engagement baiting but he deserves the comment for handcrafting this outrageously terrible take lmao
High key considering supporting him on patreon now :'D
Your channel is criminally undersubscribed. Your writing is BRILLIANT
Calling Bruised Willis a skeledon is probably the best joke in this whole video
Now I'm even more confused... Is Bruce Willis a Ghost? Skeleton? Zombie? Shade? Goblin? Hobgoblin??? I just don't know anymore.
M Night is the only Director who deserves our respect. It's not easy to make a bunch a films most people hate with a passion but keep making them out of spite/love for the medium. A Bad Film will always be better than Mediocrity and if you look close enough you might just find something you like about it.
Idk who you are, moustache man, and how you ended up in my youtube suggestions, but I'm very glad you did. This is exactly the quality content I need in my life right now.
Absolutely amazing.
Your summary made me realize that I don't think I had genuinely laughed out loud in months, possibly over a year.
Thank you.
Jeff Gained 300+ subs in the time it took for me to watch this video breaking 75k. I am so happy that he is starting to get the recognition that these videos deserve.
well ... no, the Choreographies are also bad and lame.
I accept the statment, that M. Night Shyamalan is capable of writing serious moments and wrap them into a interesting setting, to let these dialogs ... these dropletts of ingenuity happen, but thats it and he never developed any further, especally as a Director.
Seeing the scene from "Signs" and "The Happening" in comparison it becomes obviouse that the Success of these Scenes and films depent strongly on the actors and Shyamalan is unable to direct his cast. Gibson in "Signs" understood the scene and delievered what this was about. Wahlberg in "The happening" had absolute no idea what he is doing. As a director it is nice if the cast get their roles straight, but you have also to see, unterstand and help if they struggle.
Yes, Mark Wahlberg is a basiclly not a very good actor, but hell, while the "the happening" somehow happens to my brain drained helplessly asking "What the fu do you want to tell me?"
In this regard "The Last Airbender" is actually better because even a braindead get the Story of a "Choosen one, that will save the world!"/"These ones are the good and the other ones are the badies!" straight.
Maybe it is unfair to rate "The happening" even worst than "The last Airbender" ... but while the one dares to try whatever something even when it is bad through and through, the other one does absolutly nothing but just annoying me.
i do genuinely think that the choreography is good in last airbender. most of the time its unfortunately drowned out by the visual clutter that they chose to drench every scene in.
i usually try to avoid answering peoples own analysis in the comments, both because I dont want to accidentally effect or alter someone elses take that they may have formed while watching the video, but also because depending on the contents of their analysis i might not even be able to genuinely respond without contradicting parts of my own video (short elaboration at 1:10:10). that being said though, I do for some reason feel compelled to respond shortly to your thoughts (probably because I agree with you on parts of it):
I think M night shyamalan is a flawed director. I agree with you that he seems to lack the ability to help his actors deliver their best performances. a directors job is first and foremost, as far as im concerned, to get the absolute best performances out of their actors, and if an actor who's previously performed well in other films perform badly in theirs, its very likely because they didnt provide them with enough/good direction. all that to say: i think you are right in that m night shyamalan never developed beyond a certain point.
my actual, true, genuine opinion (without taking entertainment value into account) is that I love watching M nights films because they are always fun (like i stated in the video), hence i can genuinely say that he is one of my favourites, but i'm also of the opinion that he is, as a director, not among the best at his job. it's like a balancing act between these genuinely good moments and all the strange and surreal choices he makes for everything surrounding those good scenes.
I am entertained by everything m night shyamalan has done. but i am not blind to his flaws.
thank you for your comment, i appreciated reading it.
Yoooo what is this underrated comment doing tucked away from this video haha @@jeffiot
@thyxarts9736....The whole video is his opinion. Make your own video because no one else cares that you think the opposite LOL.
I subscribed right when the hall of the mountain King started playing because I knew this was gonna be good and I wasn't disappointed. Going to binge through your other video now
"The artist formerly known as Grandma" god tier writing, that got me good
