Well, the Notredame novel in which the hunchback of Notredame is based of was originally meant so people will start talking about the cathedral and the authorities would take better care of it. So this might just be!
This movie was great.. wow, I hated that they weren't able to have final battle at the towers, and that they killed off the characters for a fuckin cult? Otherwise, holy sht he caught the ball with pitting David up against the Beast, was not let down
He could have just lived, went into hiding, and gotten a triumphant "you don't need to hide anymore" moment from his son. Anyone defending Shamalamadingdong is just a fan boy like when the idiots who unironically praise Rick & Morty as next-level-IQ writing.

Jeremy missed it completely.. One of Glass' final lines is about how this isn't the climax/showdown, it's actually the origin story. This isn't the main character dying in a pathetic way, this is the main character's dad being shot in a dirty alleyway. Glass, Horde, and Overseer are the martyrs that inspire and drive an upcoming world of heroes and villains. This is the origin of supers, and new heroes seeing the clover society drown one of their own in a puddle will put them on guard and position them in opposition to that shady group. That's the Shayamalan twist. You thought this was a full superhero arc. But it didn't end like one because it was actually the opening incident before the story really begins. Normally 3 full movies aren't devoted to such a small part of a story. This microscope view of things is what made this story different.
So you're saying that there's only a payoff if there is some continuation of the story from here? Further films? Because if not, then it is kind of a waste. I've seen plenty of other superhero origin stories that have left me feeling much more fulfilled. I don't see how "being different" means I must forfeit that feeling. Nothing about it made me feel "oh man, if I were an enhanced, watching those leaked videos, I'd have a rush of intent; a burst of courage to come out." - NO! I'd see that as "Damn, I better keep my head down otherwise I'll be taken out like a chump". There isn't enough context for a first-time-leaked-footage-viewer to suddenly "make a change". What emotional connection do they have to the relationship that those three had together? The meaning or purpose of the whole encounter? Further from anything other than "oh it's just revenge + curiosity". If anything, it would make me feel less inclined to believe in my abilities. You think a bunch of said enhanceds would suddenly start a subreddit in order to come together? After that footage? Nah. They saw something spectacular, sure. Something confirmational, yes. But ultimately, smothered in an instant by some faceless goons - exactly the kind of thing such people would've been fearing their entire lives in secrecy anyway.
Don't worry about simple ppl can't understand the story M night was telling. Also not every story has to be grandiose ppl get fuck over by expected things everyday and with somebody weakness is pretty much water make some pretty easy to kill
Dunn's death was just cheap and wasted a great character. I thought we needed at least another solo movie each before Glass so we knew the characters a bit more
David isn't dead. In Unbreakable it was stated that he laid lying on the ground for forty five minutes before miraculously coming back to life. Like Superman, Dunn's weakness can put him into a stat of vegetation, but not death.
McAvoy was phenomenal. SPOILER: I suspicioned the shrink was a bad guy when she was making up excuses for the steel bending and other things during the therapy sessions. Thought she might have had super powers too, but I was close.
Well they explain why the secret organization didn't show up in Unbreakable. They only neutralize threats when 2 super humans are clashing. After Glass was imprisoned in Unbreakable, Dunn was by himself. She left Dunn alone because he was the only super person in his region after that. The whole point of the organization is to stop the escalation of super human powers. It seems like both the organization and Mr Glass know that the world really does reflect the themes of comic books. In comics, the heroes get stronger, but so do the villains. It gets absolutely out or control. They mention that part in the movie. The girl from Split says that Superman, in his original form, couldn't fly. He could just jump really high. Eventually, he becomes Earth destroyingly powerful. My only problem is that they should've showed Dunn and The Horde get stronger, or learn new abilities as they fought, to really drive that idea home.
Yeah that's the qualm I had to. We haven't seen these two do god like things and the whole film had me thinking a tactical team could easily kill them both. If a sat had showed up and the two of them start gaining healing powers and other things then it could have worked better. As is the organization felt a little overblown.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 I'm right there with you. It was the lack of respect to the arc that I couldn't deal with. And if the message was that belief can kill they should have driven it home better.
I accepted David Dunn’s death, even though it wasn’t a blaze of glory. Sometimes that’s just how our hero’s go out. That being said, it was still really tough seeing it and I fully understand why people feel anger over it. He deserved to be celebrated, or credited, but we didn’t really get that. People just continued believing that he was a myth, no matter how many lives he saved. (Until he was already dead and the video evidence came out, anyways) Also Jeremy, I just wanted to say, the reason the girl from split was in this is because much like how Elijah is the opposite of David, she is the opposite of the beast. Both faced similar upbringing of physical abuse but took different paths to cope. The difference is that she stayed whole and overcame, while Kevin krumb split into different people. That’s why she became the beasts literal kryptonite. After all, they all had a weakness.
David Dunns death was horrible This film was supposed to be the 19 year wait to see David and Price back on screen with the beast thrown into the mix.Instead, they sidelined Dunn for the entire film, then just killed him in the end in most tasteless fashion imaginable. Like I doubt that he even had 12 speaking lines in this entire film. WTF! Then to have him have a shitty action sequence and then just die like was shitty. Im all for killing off the main character. I dont even need it done in some profound way or some blaze of glory.But holy fucking shit, to just sideline him for the whole film, give him literally no character, arc then that bullshit death scene is absolutely ridiculous. Like wow!
a.j. m finally someone who gets it! I agree with everything you said. This movie doesn't follow the formula. The hero does not get what he deserves. Instead Shyamalan stayed true to what he wanted and send the message he wanted to send with this movie. No fakeouts, no miraculous save. I think I will remember this movie for a long time and I can honestly say that it has restored some of my faith in Shyamalan.
@@darksideofevil13 He believed that for a bout 2 minutes, then the next time he's on screen, he knocks over a steal door. Thats not a character arc. Thats bullshit.
Except that Switch was a side character; imagine if Neo, Trinity or Morpheus went out like that, and instead of Cypher pulling the plug it was "Random Zion Dweller #205"
I literally said "wtf was that" outloud when they drowned David in the puddle, people around me laughed at me, but that was my initial reaction to seeing that cheap ass death.
@@SouthCalifas619 I don't think he died. Remember in unbreakable, when he was under water for 5 mins as a kid and they thought he died? My theory is, water Doesn't kill him, it just shuts his organs/body down until it leaves his body. Mister glass is so smart, it wouldn't surprise if he had a plan to survive too. But kevin Wendell crumb is mostly likely dead.
Loved every second until the last 10 min, ending was at the same time uplifting that the recorded footage got out to the mass media, but so so sad how each one of the main 3 characters were killed off 😞
The only thing lamer than the way they took out Dunn in this movie would be if he met his demise at the hands of a squad of clover tatted hitmen armed with super soakers.
What angered me the most about David Dunn’s death is how nobody noticed him getting drowned by that Swat dude? Like wasn’t his son like 10 feet away, how did he not notice
well in the prison like place the girl did explain that the water dispensers they had install was using high pressure systems so that it would have made a tone of water in the cell to drown him fast and then open the sinks to empty it out to avoid killing him
The fucking room sprayed water on him like a hose, and he was on the floor like a lil bitch after they sprayed him for like 30 seconds. Do you know how long that room would take to fill up completely with water, that shit would take days!
I was hoping the hospital housed other captive "super people" that would have been freed by Elijah when he hacked the computer, who in turn would have come to David's rescue at the end. 🤔
If David Dunn couldn't take showers, he and his wife would have thought he was different way earlier. However, she shows no indication that he was weird physically at all, especially in the scene when trying to recall if he ever got sick. Plus, David never thought his behavior around water was that weird until glass commented on him choking on it more easily, nothing to do with feeling weak when it touches him.
@Evmaxbra what i took from the movie is not him geting wet, its him choking on water, the high pressure valces in his room would fill all the space around him with water, its like trying to breath with a water hoose pointed at your face, thus why he fell on the ground and not while he is taking a shower because he can face away from the water
@Evmaxbra It can flood in through his eyes, it could have filled the room (he was drenched when Dr Staple came in and there was signs that the floor was a bit filled up), went in through his nose, etc. He probably doesn't need a lot of it, and it's also like a hose flying into him from all directions, that's getting in somehow. Even then, remember, an amount of this is tied to belief as well
I think he said I love being nine which is so much more heartbreaking but I love this scene so much especially with Kevin taking over the light and telling casey that he is taking control of the light for the final moments
Yeah, it was retarded. Had a debate too at the cashier if I was gonna get the IMAX tickets or just get regular ones, so fucking glad I went regular.. nothing worse than seeing someone That's supposed to be "unbreakable" drown in a pot hole on an IMAX screen what a waste of time. A few laughs with the different personalities though, the only highlight in the movie for me.
I rewatched Unbreakable, and Dunn said he almost died when 2 kids dunked his head under water. Also,Elijah hinted about secret org hiding superhero existences. He also talked about coming books being some sort of a truthteller to society about superheroes existing. That's basically the premise of Glass I think. Glass is his movie, he created Dunn and The Horde, and he's the mastermind. Glass, in my opinion is not a sequel buh it's all one continual story. Also, a Superheroey showdown at a tower actually would make zero sense to a movie set in realism. Yes, it could have worked buh I like the direction it went. It's ballsy, someone said it's an origin story for basically every single superhero movie. That's pretty epic.
I mean the whole secret organization of hero/villain killers kinda isn't very realistic either. If they had next level god like powers sure. But all three of these guys could probably be taken out by explosives, getting gases, highly skilled snipers etc. So really is an organization dedicated to take out people like them really necessary? I like the concept but it feels forced with this more grounded superhero film. This would have worked better in the Incredibles or something.
@@darksideofevil13 well think about it. There are actual cults in this world that dedicate themselves to silly and crazy shit. All it is to the 'organization' is an agenda. Imagine get out but more organized instead of just one family but a whole cult.
This movie is not an origin story to every super hero movie. There is absolutely no basis for this at all lol. David Dunn in unbreakable said he swallowed water when he was dunked under and almost drowned. He brought that up because that was the only time he had ever been hurt in his entire life. Dunn and The Horde fighting at a tower would still be realistic. You act as if people cant fight at a tower. It wouldve made for a better ending than a dumb ass organization that shows up to keep super heroes under wraps. Like where the fuck were they when David Dunn survived that train crash without a scratch on him?
Personally, the biggest problem with black clover group was that their victory was 110% circumstantial. You mean to tell me that this org that has been around for 10,000 years was planning to kill the beast during the 30 seconds anya taylor joy turned the beast weak AND that the organization was planning to use the pothole in the parking lot against David Dunn?! It's highly improbable that the organization had a good plan to dispose of the main characters, cause they only showed up with guns, and if the movie didn't play out like a bootleg version of the Final Destination films then there was no way this organization "that has been around for 10,000 years" was going to win, and it makes no sense how they could possibly be consistent in beating previous super powered people. I can't remember who said it, but one of the other youtube reviewers said it best when he said "This is the most M Night Shyamalan ever."
Tachibana Ukyo they didn’t plan to kill them then. They planned to convince them they didn’t have powers and if that didn’t work they were going to use the brain wipe thing. It only happened in the parking lot because glass broke everyone out
@@ZR38315 Absolutely agree! But that's what I'm saying. Plan A and B didn't work, so plan C the clover guys run out into the parking lot with guns and do...what? What did they think they were going to do? They (clover) didn't have a good contingency plan for if the guys escaped, but the movie tells you these guys have been dealing with mutants for thousands of years. So was this the first time mutants ever escaped? An organization that has been dealing with mutants for years should have something up their sleeve other than guns, cause they already knew that bullets wasn't either of their weaknesses; which is why I think the clover reveal wasn't nearly as effective as Shyamalan wants it to be. Plus they should've just used the mind wipe thing in the first place and called it a day. :p
Tachibana Ukyo that’s true lol. They should’ve just used it in the first place. Sorry I misunderstood what you said in the first post hahaha. Now that I think about it that’s true what you say. I guess I just assumed that how surprised they were at glass escaping led me to believe that they were the first ones because glass is like one of the smartest guys out there. But your point is totally plausible. I feel stupid for not noticing that lol
Yes and they are called the illuminati. They've been working for the same cause/ideology/boss and been around since the dawn of mankind, as long as there is a mass of ppl, there will always be some who control us and control what to get out to the public
Abe Yeah but since the organization wasn’t a problem until the very last minutes it’s pretty unfulfilling resolution. Also this true hero killed a lot of people. I like that in the end the villain got what he wanted and “he was right” in a way even though his methods are wrong ... But the reason a true hero like Dunn was trying to stop him in the first place was because he is a freaking mass murderer. And as Jeremy points out, the movie never addresses this as it should. They have so little time together it’s frustrating.
How? By security camera videos showing, as Paulson's character put it, feats that really anyone really strong or acrobatic could do. Very slowly flipping a cop car from the side and bending a metal bar? Two buff guys fighting and denting a panel van? Actually think about what's on those videos and if you'd actually believe they were super-human if you saw them. And that's assuming you even thought they were real and not faked/staged because, again, security cameras. It's honestly the least impressive master plan ever.
I don't like your review because you didn't stick the landing...I don't care how interesting the rest of it was nor how good it was...you didn't stick the landing so I don't recommend it.
About water making him weak, I didn't take it that way from Unbreakable. From what they showed, his weakness was simply that he could drown. I mean, if water made him weak, when he fought that guy at the end of Unbreakable to free those kids, he would have gotten owned. Why would he have gotten owned? He was already wet before he fought the dude, because it was raining outside. To top it off, once the kids help him out of the pool, he goes back inside (after being submerged in the pool and being out in the rain) and chokes the guy out. If water made him weak simply by touching him, he would've been done for. Glass literally made it seem like water was his kryptonite. Like, I understand he was kinda choking at the end, however, compared to how Unbreakable ended with him also gagging, why in Glass does he all of a sudden not have his strength? It was a regular joe schmo holding him in a puddle that was a few inches deep. Dude should have been able to just simply do a push up and hold himself up. I think M. Night kinda botched how he made the character look in Unbreakable, if indeed water simply touching him makes him weak. That, or he simply forgot how he made the character, and screwed the pooch in Glass.
Also, I thought the ending could have been way better. I was at first thinking that no way David Dunn was going to die. Then, when he did, I thought about Mr. Glass saying to his mom that "This isn't a limited addition. It's an origin story.", and immediately I thought "Oh shit, because the one girl held the split guy in her arms as he was dying and David Dunn's kid was there when he died, that those two would have powers that were buried within them unlock because of the trauma they just went through, and they'd unleash hell on those other guys.". Think about it, it would literally show the origins on how their powers were "unlocked". Sadly, I was wrong, and disappointed by it.
About the brains power over the body. I think that only pertains to certain individuals, like Kevin Crumb. He obtained his powers by going through trauma all throughout his child hood, and because of that, his body coped by making all these personalities (as is true when people in real life go through trauma as a kid growing up). I have watched interviews and vlogs with actual people that have multiple personalities, and they say for each personality, a different traumatic event in their lives is what made each specific one. Each one is made specifically to cope with whatever they were encountering at that time. For David Dunn, he was just born with the strength and not being able to be harmed/get sick. I think with David Dunn his strength and being immune to getting hurt (besides water) was something he never thought of, and that's why as a kid he wasn't trying to do crazy acts of strength and what not. When he was a kid, the only thing he encountered was finding out he can drown. That was purely a coincidence, in my eyes, and it wasn't a factor of his powers manifesting. I think it was just a matter of him actually needing the strength, and finding out at that time that he could do crazy acts of strength.
Now, as far as the girl not being needed in the movie. I don't think that's true. When Kevin Crumb is The Beast, he is essentially bullet proof. His skin hardens, and he gets additional strength. That's why the shotgun blast to the chest area in Split didn't penetrate his skin. She was needed because other than those flashing lights, she was the only thing that could get him to change from The Beast and into another personality. Basically, when he's The Beast, his skin becomes like a bullet proof vest. He'll take the impact, it'll cause him some pain and bruising, however, it won't penetrate his skin.
As far as the ending with the video going viral and you thinking that'll be that, and people with just move on. That's not necessarily true, either. You see, the world knew who Kevin Crumb, David Dunn, and Elijah Price were BEFORE seeing the video of them displaying super human abilities. Elijah was known for being in the psych ward for causing all of those huge events that killed tons of people, Kevin Crumb was known for being in that psych ward for kidnapping many people over a period of time and killing them, and David Dunn was known as "The Overseer" and saving countless people all over the city. That's why at the end when they were announcing the video on the news cast, they talked about the psych ward and how the people involved were those specific people that everyone had already heard about. By them already being established as REAL people, when everyone watched it, they would be like "OMG, it's true!!!!". Especially if now, all of a sudden, those people are actually dead. Like, why make a fake video to go viral, if those people are actually dead? It gives validity to their powers actually being real, and the fact that people were trying to stop them from being known.
All in all, I think the movie was OK. I'd give it somewhere between a 6-7 out of 10. The ending did irritate me, especially Dunn simply being held in a couple of inches of water by a dude with no powers. The Beast/Kevin Crumb being killed in the manner he was, I'm OK with that. But, a guy who has super strength, the only thing that can kill him is water, and they made it to like the water simply touching him turned him into having no strength at all. That was pretty stupid. I would've been fine if they had like 4 guys bum rush him while he was choking, wrap him in a tarp so he couldn't move, and water board him. That would've been more believable. But, alas, some nothing guy just had to barely hold his face in 2 inches of water. The only other down side to the movie was that it was too long. They needed to either pack more interesting and detailed filler into the middle of the movie, or, cut it down by about 30 minutes.
I feel as though you hit the nail on the head touching all the gripes I had with it as well so I can agree with pretty much everything you've said here, well worth the read.
@@TGCDJS Thanks. I've thought about doing my own channel for a while now. The only thing is, I'd want to do more than just movie reviews. So, I'm in a dilemma on whether to put everything on 1 channel, or have multiple channels for each specific thing.
Powers in the Unbreakable/Split/Glass universe spawn from traumas. The frontal lobe issue that's touched upon shows that the brain changes the physiology or cognitive ability of super human people. It's not even trying to be high art, it's very blatant how it works by trying to laser Mr. Glass's frontal lobe.
If what she was saying was even true. I interpreted it that she was lying and trying to get them to believe that they’re not heroes so that the secret organization didn’t have to kill them.
@@The-Cole-Train Yeah that's on point. The organization doesn't resort to killing. It could be interpreted that there's been many cases where what we know as crazy people or people with talents actually have super powers and they don't know it
I liked Glass, but it’s definitely a step down from Split and Unbreakable imo. I’d give it a good time no alcohol required, but it really is something that could’ve been a lot better. I’d rather defend this movie than blast it, but I can’t fault anyone for being disappointed
Wow, you clearly had pre-consumption's with this film Jeremy. I literally was down on it after seeing early reviews, went in and thought this was M.Night's best film since unbreakable. He tied everything together even tied his cameo from unbreakable in this at Dunn security. I thought Kevin background got explained more, David's relationship with this son, and that he seems to at his age be going out still doing the hero thing in my opinion to get over the death of this wife. Elija just wanted to let the world know, and honestly it's hinted at early on he had suspicions of this place and the other patients. As in the other patients other than himself, dunn and kevin. They tied kevin's relationship with the girl from split up well, they tied together elija's mother. i felt this film was hyped too much because of how struck you and everyone else was with split. I think that the pre conception that split was tied to unbreakable made people want something that was as spell binding and revolutionary as unbreakable was when it hit cinema's. I felt though this could have been unbreakable 2, was a good way to give us more of the things that we loved out of both those movies and give a conclusion that was very thought provoking just like the ending to each split, and unbreakable. Bringing together many themes was what I got out of it. Maybe the clover society stuff didn't land as well, but i felt how everyone died was so true to everything. David went out still saving people, Kevin didn't die alone, he had someone who cared for him by his side, and the hoard didn't hide him from the light. Elija wanted to prove to the world in a good guy way that they exist. I thought david dying in a small pool of water came full circle to unbreakable, and especially when he grabbed her hand. He was reassured before he died he was who he was. I disagree with you and every other critic who totally in all honesty got this movie wrong. And I THINK it';s because you were expecting another unbreakable or split in how it kept us guessing in what the movie was about. But we knew from the get go what it was about, but what we got was another Elija pulling us along and just like M.night in Unbreakable giving us hints throughout of Elija's motives and plan that to our surprise reveal the truth.
I agree with a few of your points J, but not all. I really enjoyed the movie, yes even the ending, and I appreciate you explaining your reasons and giving us an honest review, yet being completely respectful. You're one of the only critics who don't trash and root against the movies they aren't particularly a fan of. Thank you for being you :)
Personally, I found the direction it took to be fascinating. When people argue that this isn't Glass' movie, I think it really is because his actions are what define the movie and its direction: heading towards the final showdown and revelation. I understand why some would be disappointed with the deaths of these characters. But not only did it blow any expectations out of the water, but it worked for the story Shyamalan was trying to tell. Society shuns those with faith, belief in something more than what science can tell us, demonstrated in their superhero abilities. This is personified in Sarah Paulson's psychiatrist. Glass makes the ultimate sacrifice for himself, Kevin and David, so that the world can see the injustice and be inspired once more to accept faith and believe in something beyond the real that we exist in. It's an optimistic ending for sure, but one shrouded in the sudden shock of what's just happened. A second viewing is essential I feel.
Where are you all getting the idea that people of faith are shunned? In America, some places won't allow an Atheist to run for office. Americans would rather vote for a Muslim than an Atheist. Where do you get off as some persecuted minority?
@@ericp1139 For me it's more like people don't fight for their beliefs anymore , now we make a speech everything to be equal and nice no one should offend anyone tha it's depressing .
There’s one difference between Unbreakable and Glass: Unbreakable starts with a train wreck and becomes a masterpiece, while Glass starts with a masterpiece and becomes a train wreck.
A lot of the movie is deleted scenes from Unbreakable and Split. The carnival ride was a deleted scene from Unbreakable, which caught me off guard because I had scene this before. Then I realized I had scene it on my DVD copy. The other personalities were also cut from Split. They focused on four of Kevin's personalities: Patricia, Hedwig, Dennis, and The Beast.
they were also alot of scenes taken from The Happening, the Lady in the Water and Last Airbender in order tie those movies into the universe that were left in the cutting room floor.
We were promised a grounded superhero movie we’d never seen. What we got was a movie that forgets about superhero’s and is like every crazy house movie we always see. I’d prefer this have been split into 2 films. The first 20 mins be its own movie. A noir film of David hunting the beast and Elijah in the crazy house pulling the strings to get them both there. Part 4 could have been the crazy house but they break out. They do make it to the giant building . David beats the beast and stops Elijah from blowing up the tower . They all turn on each other Elijah is broken and is dying, the beast is killed by the secret Organization and maybe David dies trying to save him but drowns. But this was all part of Elijah’s plan in the end the world saw hero’s fight . Then it ends maybe by seeing other superhuman beings. Maybe someone who can run 60 mph . Shows another reading minds etc. maybe shows a dogman . Then it ends .
I don’t hate the ending, I actually thought it was pretty smart, but I think for this movie it didn’t work just because with how long people have waited for this, and to end with all them dying in such a way, it kind of left a bitter taste in my mouth. I think if unbreakable and split didn’t happened, the ending for this movie would have been received better
Agree, most of people disappointed because they waited so long only to see David get killed by some random guy. They expected the classic "Good guys win, bad guys lose, everybody is happy" ending or the "Superheroes die with superheroes style" ending.
i really hate the ending, not bc they kill all the main chars, but bc the plan was so stupid. yeah, like people will belive everything in a video they watch on internet, amd that is the plan of the smartest man on earth, that's like a middle finger to my face
Kill Me no you’re wrong, people like to use the excuse that we expected the classic good guy to win, that’s not true at all. All of us would have been ok with him dying like the other two, it’s not about the fact that he did die, it’s about the way it was executed.
I to felt he was struggling to create an ending that could be effective, ending on a secret organisation. Here's an ending that would have maintained the story through line and still kept the same twist: During act 2, as the doctor is trying to convince them all they have no super powers, she puts them all bar glass through a series of tests such as smash this rock, climb this wall, etc. Dunn hurts his hand, the beast slides off and reverts back to another personality....all including the audience are shocked and confused thinking that maybe it is indeed all all illusion. Act 3 continues as per normal, all deflated but glass is the one that is determined to get the beast to believe in himself and get Dunn to come out and force himself back. He achieves this and all of a sudden Dunn breaks down the door, the beast does seem to be back, etc. During the final fight were they are trying to escape and contend with each other and the cops, glass has a theory which is that a chain of events and belief in one self allows the power of the mind to make physical improvements- so if someone's belief is shaken the abilities subside. This is perfectly in line with split and how Kevin can bring the beast out. Twist- what convinced glass of this theory was when he found out that Kevin dad was on the same train, and realising there is some sort of chain effect that flows from incident to incident...severe traumatic experience is required to kickstart this process which they have all gone through. When the beast finds this out he is shocked that this has only happened because of the train crash orchestrated by glass...and so that shake in his origin starts making him lose strength and power as he no longer believes in his purpose being truly his. Dunn also fulfills his arc by seeing that the best way to stop glass is to not be a hero...and he to plays pretend that he is not and superhero no longer Glass is killed by the beast by choking. In a scene with the doctor with Dunn alone, she confirms that her faith has been shaken and cannot explain what she saw them do during the fight....but Dunn in sits to HER its all in your head and now he is convincing her that she is suffering from illusions , and with everyone dead does it even matter. Come some time later Dunn is released back to his son. he states why he can no longer be the overseer in fear of raising another glass. Come final scene. Viral video has dropped and it is revealed that glass recorded the whole fight and now the world knows heroes exist...Dunn now looks to his son in shock as they now know the world knows of his ability...and thus glass wins and we are left to decide how Dunn chooses how to twckle his future as the overseer with the world knowing about his powers. What do you think? It maintains our hero, actually gives arcs to all characters (dunn wants to be a hero then chooses not to be for the greater good, glass wants then to be known and gets it, the beast learns his true creator, the doctor now believes the unbelievable but questions her own sanity) and we end on glass winning with dunn now having to face the future and possible ramifications
@@resilientpictures9990 No it wouldn't, sorry man, until you get better, stick to your day job lol. If you didn't like the ending, that's your opinion. I liked it, and I believe in terms of story it's a good ending. But that's my opinion, if you don't want to take it that's you.

I’m surprised by how much the trilogy has been known as a low-key super hero series but people wanted grand deaths for the heroes. Dunn can bend steel, he can’t level a skyscraper. Glass is smart but brittle, and fittingly created his own end, The Beast is a wild force, but Kevin is vulnerable (as was said, The Horde was protecting him). Yeah, I buy Dunn dying by drowning, Kevin by a bullet, and Glass as he planned it. We focus on the puddle, but he was fighting The Beast in the water tank. Can he not be already exhausted from escaping a vat of his weakness and then be killed by a mortal?
No one has an issue with the way Glass or Kevin died. Just Dunn's, if he had drowned in the water tank or something a little bit better, then the movie would of been a lot better.
I think the reviews and opinions in the comments are a symptom of the times. Everyone wants what they want and aren't open to the unexpected. Dun was old, and just got the shit beat out of him by a much younger EQUAL or stronger mutant, while drowning in a tank of his death juice, barely broke out, and within minutes of laying in a big ass puddle, got drowned in a smaller one. This wasn't a lame MCU/DC kiddie flick, and if that's what you wanted you're delusional. The hero doesn't always triumph against the odds, sometimes they only leave a crack big enough for the light to reach others.
I just saw Glass last night and I feel like you misunderstood David's room. They aren't sprinklers, they were 40, highly pressurized water hoses aimed to him. So...just think of yourself being trapped in a mega carwash that's tucked away in a tiny room. The water pressure alone would kill basically everyone.
@Evmaxbra But he can drown, that was the whole point. Not to get him wet, but to hold him down with pure water pressure and choke or drown. The whole room was made to prey on his fear of drowning.
@Evmaxbra they would only kill him if he got out, the water was only to control him and make him realize there's no escaping alone, it was just to keep him in check.
However that room was terribly designed do drown him or to even restrain him with the high pressure water. Why were all the pipes and nozzles like 2 feet from the walls. Dunn can just stay between the walls and pipes? This movie is enjoyable, so long as you don’t look too deeply into it. Because there is so many things that just don’t make sense or things characters or people do that no actual human would actually do, but it looks good (it looks ok)
In terms of the Water being Dunn's Kryptonite, I interpreted it as the water sprinklers spray directly at his face with a really high pressure (the high pressure/15000 gallons thing was mentioned), which gives Dunn the _illusion_ of drowning. In other words, his "weakness" is all in his head, and this is pretty consistent with Unbreakable.
I disagree with several points mentioned about Glass; I think it was very effective in what it was setting out to do. Dunn was allowed to live his life up till now without interference by Black Clover because he wasn't using his powers and becoming a spectacle in the public eye. Black Clover's goal is to keep the existence of supers hidden. If Dun had led a normal life and never used his powers, they wouldn't have bothered him. The Doctor even mentioned that if she had convinced them that their powers were a delusion, she would have let them go. Glass - well she was going to lobotomize him and make him 'normal' again since he simply wouldn't play ball. Dunn and the Beast are harder to contain so they were going to kill them if they couldn't sew enough doubt into their mind. It makes perfect sense in that regard and thus why Black Clover didn't pick up Dunn right after the trainwreck. He wasn't doing anything to warrant their attention. Another thing of note, and something that was assumed because of the end of Unbreakable - Glass is not Dunn's arch nemesis. Glass IS the villain, but not Dunn's villain per se. To use a venture brothers term, Glass is Black Clover's Arch. His sole purpose is to show the world supers exist; Black Clover's purpose has been the exact opposite for centuries. Also, Dunn and the Beast were created from the same tragedy; their powers are similar, (super endurance and strength, semi-invulnerability) They are rivals of one another whom Glass created with his actions. Another tick that makes Glass the Arch of Black Clover and not Dunn or the Beast. His actions literally create Supers; plus he was born this way so the triggering event was his birth which doesn't coincide with anything in Dunn's life IIRC. I enjoyed the movie and after sitting and reconsidering all the clues provided, I enjoyed it even more once I realized Glass was the antithesis to Black Clover. Plus, his last words "I wasn't a mistake" is even more evidence that his whole purpose was to upset Black Clover's centuries long agenda which he did in the end through the help of the supporting cast (which he called the cast of main characters).
I actually liked the movie, except for two things, I agree with Jeremy, I thought it was drowning; not water in general. And David's death; the retcon and his death just felt lazy. Yeah the secret society too, that was just odd...
Regarding David Dunn weakness to water, while he was in the tank of water he still had the strength to bust through the wall. So it makes no sense why he couldn't use it while being drowned in a puddle. Besides the fact the movie was lacking in every regard.
5:50 "Why is she in the movie?" Well actually the part where she brings back Kevin at the end was my favourite scene of the movie, it was a very touching moment. Also the part where she sees the comics (thanks to the soundtrack), so yeah for me, the best part of the movies involve her
Jeremy, you got a few things wrong: 1: the reason that they don't go after Dunn after his train crash is because the doctor say right before they kill him that she was going to leave him alone but the beast forced her and the Clover's hand. 2: Casey needs to be in the movie because Casey wouldn't just walk away. She's a stronger person than that, and she saw Kevin's turmoil. She would've come back to talk to him either way, and the doctor would want to know how to get Kevin out and use her to do so to convince him of his "delusion". Honestly Casey's probably my fav character because she's the only one who has no powers who puts herself on the line in order to save a tormented soul because she sees the same in herself. Also, Anya's a fantastic actress and anytime I get to see her act in a performance that shows off what she can really do I'm all for it. 3: The Court of Clovers doesn't make them think their powers aren't real. When speaking to the Court, Dr. Staple makes it pretty clear this is their first time trying this and this is how the orginization will operate afterwards (but obviously that doesn't happen because Glass ruins them all). 4: it would be a viral video? The Beast & Glass likely made national headlines. A mass murderer and a man with 20+ different personalities who kidnapped and murdered a bunch of teenagers at a zoo with his bare hands, and continued to do so for 3 weeks after escaping capture and reportedly surviving multiple gunshot wounds? That's a serial killer that makes Dahmer look like a bratty child. Also The Overseer, a vigilante in a major city that likely operated for months if not years finally getting caught? Yeah, all three of these people are pretty well known. Also, they filmed everything in the ward, too. They saw Dunn beat down a steel door with his body and bend a steel bar. They dented a car with their fists and kept fighting. The Beast climbed up and around walls. And all of those abilities were reported by the news but dismissed as "conspiracy theories", now there's physical evidence, which also means the cops covered it up. Also there's footage of Dr. Staple watching David Dunn get drowned, as well as A COP DROWNING A MENTAL PATIENT AND GUNNING DOWN AN UNARMED MAN! Who tf wouldn't be paying attention?!
The problem isn't that there was a viral video. It was how they decided to show the video being viral. Even when a mass shooting or a bombing happens (which makes headlines), you don't see everyone around you pull out there phone looking at a video taken during the incident. It would take an event near the level of 9/11 to make the rounds in the same way that video did. It felt like an exaggerated scene, that could have been achieved in a more realistic way if the David's son and the other 2 (can't remember their names) were watching the news and the footage was shown. So no matter how I look at it, that scene seems like a bit much.
I overall enjoyed this film. The acting from James Mcavoy is amazing. That dude needs at least a oscar nominations by his performances in these 2 movies. I really love the fact that, I didn't see that ending coming. For the people that didn't like it, I think they need to watch it twice.
come on... A secret organization that's revealed in last 10min of the movie? That's poor writing. And the execution of Dunn's death was just bad. It wasn't violent, he didn't seem to even struggle to get free lol and don't forget the breaks from drowning, just for Paulson to explain the plot.
Watched the about two nights ago and agree with Jeremy. David Dunn's weakness was drowning, he was as the movie stated UNBREAKABLE, meaning nothing could hurt him but he was still a human and needed air so I assume suffocating him would work too but then we get the whole argument about his lungs and shit. His death was shit, For me the way Glass died due to the Beast was near perfect. I get that they needed to take out the Beast because he was too wild and uncontrollable but Dunn would have jumped when they said how high. Up until the doctor showed him the vision he knew nothing, she was just a shrink and nothing more. They could have just shot the Beast and said it was a sniper. He would have believed that shit, killing him, to me was just seemed like shock value. The Doctor said the They left him alone for all those years because there was only one, He was the only one left so why couldn't they still just leave him be? thoroughly enjoyed he movie up until then. It just seemed unnecessary. Also the whole flash scene with her just seemed like an exposition dump, like why did she have to show him the truth? I think it would have been better to scrap the whole clovers cult and just had Kevin get shot by a swat sniper. It would have been a bitter sweet moment because you knew he didn't deserve to die but know the cop did the right thing. Have Dunn survive and Doctor now knowing the truth lets him go, saying that He was sane, leaving him and his son, and I guess the girl, to fight street thugs again, Maybe the son and girl get together or something? but that I think would have been a truly just ending, one leaving you both sad but with a little bit of happiness at the end. (God knows Dunn fucking deserved a happy ending. Cunt was a literal hero). But that's just my take, would like to hear yours, love it , hate it? let me know.
The importance of the video being released actually connects to something that Mr. Glass said to David's wife Audrey in Unbreakable. "These are mediocre times Mrs. Dunn. People are starting to lose hope. It's hard for many to believe there are extraordinary things inside themselves and others."
To me Casey had a purpose in the film. To show Kevin that he wasn't alone and that it was okay for him to be in the light. Her and Kevin formed a bond/friendship. She tried to help him and tried to protect him. To see where she ended up after Split. She was there with Kevin, Dennis, and Hedwig till the very end. She forgave them. I mean you could say the same thing for Mrs. Price. She didn't really have a reason to be there. She really didn't do anything.
They never had that kind of bond in split lol. In split, kevin just told her to kill him before he switched personalities lol there was really no bond. It's a plothole in this movie. If anyone, it would be hedwig.
@@ciyoduhkriter she only spoke to Hedwig, Dennis, and Kevin. You're telling me you don't know how her and Hedwig "clicked?" There's a deleted scene in Split where Dennis tells Casey about his doubts. I'm sure Casey found out later on about what happened to Kevin otherwise she wouldn't have understood what he said to her in Glass. That's all I'm gonna say. If you don't see it then it really isn't my problem.
@@jaycruz7520 no. You got it wrong. How casey and *kevin* clicked in glass. It felt like they met more than just that one time at the zoo. I don't think you realize that there's a missing gap between split and glass in order for casey and kevin to get that intimate. In other words; plot hole. Of course casey understands what kevin is going through but was kevin ever that close with casey in split? I don't think so.
I really didn’t like how they handled David Dunn’s death. But I feel the ending was somewhat improved by the public learning that superheroes actually do exist.
They explained why the secret organization didn’t intervene before. It was because there wasn’t a villain at the time. With no villain there wasn’t much risk for getting exposed to the world. But when they realized Dunn was after the beast they feared their powers could get exposed to the world if they fought in public.
But in the end, I completely agree with the fact that there was no payoff in the end, and that the ending didn’t stick the landing it was intending to land. The message is all well and good but at the cost of developed characters, and a decent execution, it wasn’t worth it, because I sat there with a real disappointed expression when the credits started rolling
I could definitely understand why many ppl cud hate this ending. It does feel rushed and out of no where but I feel there could be a deeper meaning behind it. In today's movies we have a shit ton of super hero movies and the heros dont seem to die. The film ends basically establishing that there are more super heroes and super villains
Congratulations for recognising how the ending makes you feel, now you know why its called glass. Because your expectations got shattered. (WE ALMOST GOT YOU BRO)
M. Night Shyamalan: Yeah, I know people have been waiting for 19 years for an Unbreakable sequal and 2 years for a Split sequal. So fuck it David Dunn, Mr. Glass, and The Horde are dead. And yes, David drowned in a puddle
I loved Glass. I understand completely how fans of Unbreakable could go in with certain expectations that would lead to them being disappointed by the ending but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a well made and well acted movie. Objectively. And of course Casey should be in the movie! She is an importat piece of Kevin's story and their interactions were super powerful. Yes, they could have taken him out some other way but then i'd probably not have sobbed my heart out in the middle of the theater.
@@deathsdoor07 I understand that. But he's basically saying there was no reason for her to be in the film. She had as much reason as David's son and Mr. Glass' mother. Plus i think most of us were interested to find out what turn her life took after Split.
bro it just cause something is well acted doesn't mean it can't be shit a porn could be well acted where some literally eats shit doesn't make it not shit.
The psychiatrist told David that the “Clovers” were okay until he started going against the Beast, the conflict was causing chaos. When David was alone, he was just a normal vigilante in the eyes of the people.
I didn’t initially think David wasn’t any way allergic to water, but if you think about the events in unbreakable, it kind of makes sense. By the time he decides to do the caped vigilante thing, the movie has already established that he’s significantly stronger and more durable than the average man, but when he goes up against that guy in the house, it’s nearly an even match. And it shouldn’t have been, given what we know about David. But when you realize that it was pouring rain that entire night, and despite having a poncho on, David was most certainly getting wet, which if water was his actual kryptonite, might explain why he struggled so much to overpower that guy. And it could be that David in actuality he has no problem with water in regards to drinking or showering, but while showering, he may be rendered powerless, not necessarily weak.
I think the fact of this being a Glass movie is all about his line at the end. "It's not an exclusive, it's an origin story." And when you realize that you'll see he set up this whole trilogy 19 years ago to play out like it did in the end to show the world heroes exist. The whole trilogy is his plan all along.
That was just his security guard outfit he wore to hid his identity but if you wanna be artsy you could say that but it was just a coincidence he wore it to fight crime.
@@Ytomany well Samuel Jackson got a purple suit as his favorite color (also his light saber) and he suggested to get a cane made out of glass to make metaphorical representation. Which led to Shymalan add an insert of his cane breaking down the stairs.
The way I remember it from Unbreakable, water does sort of impede his functionality. Think of it this way, does it make sense that a superhero's weakness is drowning? I don't think so, that's too specific. On the other hand, saying water in general is his weakness makes sense. I assumed the pool almost killed him because he was in a large pool of water. Also, his rain slicker is a reference to his weakness, it's his shield against water. It would have no symbolic value against drowning.
Obi-Wan Kenobi he didnt die. he left himself be one with the force. Obi Wan didnt die, he disappeared before Vader struck him. Yoda is technically the only one to die die through the force
@@filmfreakreacts2516 I was cut with a lightsaber. Yoda was dying of old age. There was no physical cause of death for Luke. He just died because the director wanted him to.
@@MH_Zard Yes, I absolutely was. I was killed by the blade and you can see it crash into my body. The moment I was killed is when I disappeared. Anything thing to contradict this is a poor retcon.
Will Strickland no lol it didn't work lol from the first movie "unbreakable" till now it was 19 years right,so how does someone convince you in three days that the past 19 years of you doing super human shit is bullshit,thats like me going up to Luke Skywalker at at "return of the Jedi" and trying to convince him he isn't a Jedi,cmon
Never saw the first moive and didnt know this moive was a trilogy but what catch me it the begain was way have they weakness in the cell with you if you think there are just crazy? I knew feom the begain they knew they power was real and they was just trying to convance them it wasnt. My first questin would have been if i was lock up was why you have my weakness in this cell with me? If i am crazy why not just a normal crazy cell like other crazy people?
SPOILER!!! DONT READ THIS UNTIL YOU SAW THE MOVIE David Dunn's death pissed me off, but what pissed me off even more was that the reveal of the Illuminati.
My attempt of approaching some of your criticisms... 1. After David learning about water being is kryptonite and became more anxious and sensitive to it causing himself to have the Chuck effect as you described regarding Better Call Saul 2. Davids death is justfied because he thought he was weakened by the water and thus physically manifested those symptoms. Just like how The Beast can crawl ane bend metal and take bullets as he did in Split. So David being weakened prevented his ability to fight off the soldier he drowned him. 3. Casey has a connection to Kevin she developed at the end of Split when they bonded over their history of being abuse. She also felt bad for him and his other personalities like Hedwig 3. There is a huge difference between David Dunn and Superman. We can't picture Superman dying at the hands of regular person because Superman is heavily exaggarated but David Dunn could easily be drowned by a regular dude. Hell David Dunn almost died when the Orange man pushed him in the pool.
It's more then just sprinkles that was in his room. His whole room fill ed up with water from the tank outside then drains out. Him choking from being under water is what weakings him for a bit. He didnt get weak from rain outside at night. He has to choke on water. He can drink water and shower and be just fine. Its the choking of water in him that does it.
I don't think the videos of superhumans would be forgotten because it involved a prison break, people died, so that would get media coverage. Terrorist threats were made, and there would be an investigation into Ellie Staples and the organization. All that would give the traction for the word of superheroes to spread.
The first act is brilliant, second act average but it was still entertaining to watch, it hit me hard when kevin came to the light and died I thought what a waste of character we only just met him in Split. As for david what a stupid death.
I liked the ending unlike most people. It was a good conclusion to the film and wasn’t like the fairytale ending like most stories these days where the good guy wins and they all live in peace. It was different and I love stories which are different and unique as it keeps it interesting. I hope Shyamalan does a spin off about this organisation who hunt down superheroes because they have been around for over 10,000 years. It will be cool to see new powers and how the organisation have dealt with it in the past.
I thought the same! That David Dunn's weakness was that he was still capable of drowning like everyone else when it came to a lot of water (he probably could also be burned with fire or electrocuted, but it's not like that was ever tested). But instead they retcon it so that water in general makes him weak. If that was the case why go after bad guys when it was raining?? Sure, he had on a rain poncho, but that wasn't made of indestructible material. Anyway, I did find that it was shitty way for him to go out and that it could have been done better. Like he was still strong enough to punch through the plastic water tank while fighting The Beast (who's hella strong to flip a police car). So seeing a random regular grunt being able to hold him down to drown him doesn't make much sense. Unless this secret organization has special people too? I doubt that because they're hell bent on making sure no one plays at being a 'god'. Overall, I did like the movie. I appreciate in how the trilogy approached superheroes in a realistic way. But some areas in the film could have been done better. You've actually pointed them out in your review and I agree.
Other people have probably already commented about this, but the way I understood it was that David is much more dense because of his super powers. He has such vast strength and durability because his muscles and his bones are more dense than an average person, and because of that he isn't able to swim or atleast swim well enough to prevent himself from sinking. The sprinklers in his cell I thought were actually there to flood the room in case he tried to escape.
A line that really stuck with me was when Sarah Paulsons character says they don't pick sides when one side appears the other comes after or however she says it I thought about it really David duns counterpart would be the hoard or "the Beast" seeing how the train crash that Elijah price had created them both, but made me question who was Elijah's counter part and I realized it was the court of clovers seeing how they wanted to keep these meta humans a secret but Elijah has always wanted to prove their existence and i was amazed how captivated I was during this movie it was great
Yes when need more movies like this that kind of break the movie format that movies go through like alot of people really wanted a marvel ending for glass but this isn't a traditional superheroe movie
Like I said I see the Beast is the opposite of David dun if you think about they were both created by the train crash both equally strong I believe their strength Is based on belief (sounds corny) but I think the reason why it took David dun so long to break down that door because he didn't believe that he was this heroe, he didnt believe in himself but on the other hand there's the Beast which I believe his strength is measured by the amount of personalities that believe in the Beast. While I also believe Mr. Glass counter opposite is the Court of clovers giving that their mission opposes Elijah's, all Elijah wanted to do is make every one believe that superheroes and Gillian's exist that was his whole plan in this movie not to mention when Casey, Joseph and Elijah's mother Mrs. Price walk outside of the raven Hill he said the line "ah, the collection of the main characters" because the third act consist of MS. Staple figuring out Elijah's plan and Casey, Joseph, and Mrs. Price continuing Elijah's plan. Allowing him to best the court of clovers
I just thought how this movie is getting recieved is bad maybe because most people are just so used to the Marvel movies it feels wierd to have the unique approach of Glass.
Taiki Mori actually, I think it’s the opposite, especially after Jeremy’s thoughts I believe that the reason people were looking forward to this movie is because it looked much more different than a marvel movie, we went in to glass expecting a complex superhero story that on the surface is about something much smaller, like the first two, but in the end glass tried to be more like a marvel/dc crossover than what we’ve been getting out of these movies so far, which is fine but it takes away what made these series of movies so special, it just makes it feel like a watered down version of the superhero movies we like
Marvel fans aren't going to see this movie. It is fans the 2 previous films in the trilogy, or M. Night Shyamalan fans in general. Even if I were to go by your logic, then wouldn't people have hated Split? It was a thriller with very little action, and a unique spin on the genre. Only came out 2 years ago, and Marvel movies have been around much longer than that. Yet people loved it.
@Forgettable Pebble This movie have nothing to do with Marvel why some fans are disappointed. Thats just a cop out excuse because we all know most likely Marvel or DC fans are not going to see Glass. These are fans that loved Unbreakable and Split and felt Glass didn't live up to those two movies.
I am a Marvel fan, super hero fan, and M. Night fan since Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, The Devil, The Visit...and I was disappointed in this movie...I wish it was actually a smaller movie like Split or Unbreakable...there were things that I liked...but the twist ending fell flat to me
I couldn't look at Mr glass in the face in all those close up shots without laughing! I could just hear Samuel L Jackson saying stuff like: "Bitch please" to the psychiatrist.
Jeremyjahns I gotta disagree with the deaths particularly David Dunn. It shows just how powerful his belief in his weakness of water and how traumatic it is for him despite his extraordinary strength and visions he gets. His death was all the more saddening and powerful when he set up the ending to be a showdown between beast and Dunn at the giant new tower. I like it didn’t take the meta dc/marvel approach and the real point of the movie was glass showing the world the extraordinary feats of men and women and how super heroes and villains do in fact exist. Hopefully it just ends on this three movies and lets it be :)
I can see that until you remember David shattered the water tank to escape the Beast trying to drown him. I'm strong enough to break a tank but can't push up off the ground to escape a puddle? I dunno...
Its not just that he died but how he died. If a protagonists died heroically then the audiences wont have a problem with it but when they die like a bitch. Its just leaves a sour taste. Thats how I felt.
I don't know if it was intentional or not but I like the little nod to Marvel with the magazine cover of the tower and it saying "The real Marvel". I felt like it was saying this is what real Marvel superhero are like.
Since they put so much emphasis on the set up of Kevin's dad dying, Joseph finding out his dad was on Eastrail 177, Mr. Glass reading it in his file, I think David should have read the file also and should have been the one to tell the Beast about Kevin's dad, not Joseph.
I believe what M Night Shyamalan Was trying to do with Anna Taylor Joy’s character is that she had developed Stockholm Syndrome where she unwittingly developed a connection with Kevin. Perhaps she even developed feelings for him. It was clear when Kevin abducted her, he ultimately saved her from her abusive uncle. She seemed genuinely sad when he died.
The movie was about the consequences of poor road maintenance.
Finally - a perspective that FITS.
Well, the Notredame novel in which the hunchback of Notredame is based of was originally meant so people will start talking about the cathedral and the authorities would take better care of it. So this might just be!
Hell yes
best one sentence review of the movie.
This movie was great.. wow, I hated that they weren't able to have final battle at the towers, and that they killed off the characters for a fuckin cult? Otherwise, holy sht he caught the ball with pitting David up against the Beast, was not let down
When Kevin was dying then he switched to Hedwig it broke my heart.
Riiight?!
I like being 9.
Mr Stark I don't feel so good
I can’t hang on to the light
Cuz McAvoy is THAT good!
Just wish David Dunn's character was given a better arc and end in this film.
This. He had so few screentime ,that when he finally shows up for good, the just dies, in a very stupid way too
Bruce Willis could not be bother with more any more acting force upon him than what’s already there tho
He could have just lived, went into hiding, and gotten a triumphant "you don't need to hide anymore" moment from his son. Anyone defending Shamalamadingdong is just a fan boy like when the idiots who unironically praise Rick & Morty as next-level-IQ writing.
@@mega17Who the hell thinks Rick and Morty has next level iq writing? I thought that was breaking bad
Jeremy missed it completely..
One of Glass' final lines is about how this isn't the climax/showdown, it's actually the origin story.
This isn't the main character dying in a pathetic way, this is the main character's dad being shot in a dirty alleyway. Glass, Horde, and Overseer are the martyrs that inspire and drive an upcoming world of heroes and villains. This is the origin of supers, and new heroes seeing the clover society drown one of their own in a puddle will put them on guard and position them in opposition to that shady group.
That's the Shayamalan twist. You thought this was a full superhero arc. But it didn't end like one because it was actually the opening incident before the story really begins. Normally 3 full movies aren't devoted to such a small part of a story. This microscope view of things is what made this story different.
So you're saying that there's only a payoff if there is some continuation of the story from here? Further films? Because if not, then it is kind of a waste. I've seen plenty of other superhero origin stories that have left me feeling much more fulfilled. I don't see how "being different" means I must forfeit that feeling. Nothing about it made me feel "oh man, if I were an enhanced, watching those leaked videos, I'd have a rush of intent; a burst of courage to come out." - NO! I'd see that as "Damn, I better keep my head down otherwise I'll be taken out like a chump". There isn't enough context for a first-time-leaked-footage-viewer to suddenly "make a change". What emotional connection do they have to the relationship that those three had together? The meaning or purpose of the whole encounter? Further from anything other than "oh it's just revenge + curiosity". If anything, it would make me feel less inclined to believe in my abilities. You think a bunch of said enhanceds would suddenly start a subreddit in order to come together? After that footage? Nah. They saw something spectacular, sure. Something confirmational, yes. But ultimately, smothered in an instant by some faceless goons - exactly the kind of thing such people would've been fearing their entire lives in secrecy anyway.
Non-sense. What a load of bs.
Don't worry about simple ppl can't understand the story M night was telling. Also not every story has to be grandiose ppl get fuck over by expected things everyday and with somebody weakness is pretty much water make some pretty easy to kill
It would be pretty nice if it continued, even as small movies, but with the upcoming ones.
theblazer ...So you’re saying this was a trilogy about Uncle Ben getting shot? I want a refund then.
David Dunns death genuinely made me sick to my stomach
Anxiety High Same.
exactly, i legit thought i was gonna throw up.
Dunn's death was just cheap and wasted a great character. I thought we needed at least another solo movie each before Glass so we knew the characters a bit more
I found it as a big "fuck you" to us lol the main protagonist going out like that. Ruined the movie for me
@@stranger990 you do know the main protagonist was glass right. Dunn had his story told in unbreakable
While I didn’t mind the ending overall I didn’t like that Dunn got taken out by some random grunt.
Would have been better had it been another powered person!!
@@MrNigandnog Not really
Yeah that's exaxtly it, and they didn't even show the guys face?! So it didn't feel impactful?! ... 😀 🔥
Honestly I would of preferred it if Dunn and The Beast both ended up killing each other.
He was weak
David isn't dead. In Unbreakable it was stated that he laid lying on the ground for forty five minutes before miraculously coming back to life. Like Superman, Dunn's weakness can put him into a stat of vegetation, but not death.
For another sequel, who knows?
No. Hes dead. As much as i hate it.
@@IncPoint I strongly disagree :p Until Shamalon confirms it in an interview, I'll stick to my theory
Well the movies over so yea, hes dead.
I'm with you. I remember that detail too
McAvoy was phenomenal.
SPOILER:
I suspicioned the shrink was a bad guy when she was making up excuses for the steel bending and other things during the therapy sessions.
Thought she might have had super powers too, but I was close.
I guess the same after "whisperer" villain comic. only because there is a guy who can really bend wrenches or roll up the pan.
Yeah I had the same reaction. I thought all those explanations were too convenient that was a dead giveaway she wasnt right.
I dont hate or liked this movie but i appreciate it's existence and iam glad this unique trilogy is finished
daniel white yes I’m the same
"unique"
I'm not. All it proved is that Dunn was Breakable.
@@persevere4655 Dunn was always breakable. Water is his kryptonite. Superman is unbreakable, until a green rock comes into play.
Persevere that’s the point
Well they explain why the secret organization didn't show up in Unbreakable.
They only neutralize threats when 2 super humans are clashing. After Glass was imprisoned in Unbreakable, Dunn was by himself. She left Dunn alone because he was the only super person in his region after that.
The whole point of the organization is to stop the escalation of super human powers. It seems like both the organization and Mr Glass know that the world really does reflect the themes of comic books. In comics, the heroes get stronger, but so do the villains. It gets absolutely out or control. They mention that part in the movie. The girl from Split says that Superman, in his original form, couldn't fly. He could just jump really high. Eventually, he becomes Earth destroyingly powerful.
My only problem is that they should've showed Dunn and The Horde get stronger, or learn new abilities as they fought, to really drive that idea home.
Umami's Boy I agree. And if they gave them more dignifying deaths I would be 100% onboard with this movie.
Yeah that's the qualm I had to. We haven't seen these two do god like things and the whole film had me thinking a tactical team could easily kill them both. If a sat had showed up and the two of them start gaining healing powers and other things then it could have worked better. As is the organization felt a little overblown.
Swat I meant
I agree
@@eyeheartsushi2212 I'm right there with you. It was the lack of respect to the arc that I couldn't deal with. And if the message was that belief can kill they should have driven it home better.
I accepted David Dunn’s death, even though it wasn’t a blaze of glory. Sometimes that’s just how our hero’s go out. That being said, it was still really tough seeing it and I fully understand why people feel anger over it. He deserved to be celebrated, or credited, but we didn’t really get that. People just continued believing that he was a myth, no matter how many lives he saved. (Until he was already dead and the video evidence came out, anyways)
Also Jeremy, I just wanted to say, the reason the girl from split was in this is because much like how Elijah is the opposite of David, she is the opposite of the beast. Both faced similar upbringing of physical abuse but took different paths to cope. The difference is that she stayed whole and overcame, while Kevin krumb split into different people. That’s why she became the beasts literal kryptonite. After all, they all had a weakness.
David Dunns death was horrible This film was supposed to be the 19 year wait to see David and Price back on screen with the beast thrown into the mix.Instead, they sidelined Dunn for the entire film, then just killed him in the end in most tasteless fashion imaginable. Like I doubt that he even had 12 speaking lines in this entire film. WTF! Then to have him have a shitty action sequence and then just die like was shitty. Im all for killing off the main character. I dont even need it done in some profound way or some blaze of glory.But holy fucking shit, to just sideline him for the whole film, give him literally no character, arc then that bullshit death scene is absolutely ridiculous. Like wow!
a.j. m finally someone who gets it! I agree with everything you said. This movie doesn't follow the formula. The hero does not get what he deserves. Instead Shyamalan stayed true to what he wanted and send the message he wanted to send with this movie. No fakeouts, no miraculous save. I think I will remember this movie for a long time and I can honestly say that it has restored some of my faith in Shyamalan.
@@NinteddyRose I really wish there was more focus on David Dunn.
He did have a character arc though. He started to believe the Psychiatrist that he wasn't special. That it had all been in his head.
@@darksideofevil13
He believed that for a bout 2 minutes, then the next time he's on screen, he knocks over a steal door. Thats not a character arc. Thats bullshit.
Beginning: My admiration for M.Night was Unbreakable.
Middle: My admiration for him was Split.
End: My admiration for him shattered like Glass.
So Dunn's death was kinda like Switch in the Matrix.
"Not like this....not like..."
Essero Eson for real
Lmao! Perfect
Except that Switch was a side character; imagine if Neo, Trinity or Morpheus went out like that, and instead of Cypher pulling the plug it was "Random Zion Dweller #205"
the one that drown dunn was a juggernaut, stronger than him you can tell it cause he drag dunn so easily into the mud pool
I literally said "wtf was that" outloud when they drowned David in the puddle, people around me laughed at me, but that was my initial reaction to seeing that cheap ass death.
@@Aniboiii5600 AMCs dont have security in every theatre to do that
@@Aniboiii5600 Someone should have removed that lame ass death from the movie.
he drowned in a puddle? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 wtf lol now Im glad I saved my money lol
How do you want him to die? Tsunami? Lmao
@@SouthCalifas619
I don't think he died. Remember in unbreakable, when he was under water for 5 mins as a kid and they thought he died? My theory is, water Doesn't kill him, it just shuts his organs/body down until it leaves his body. Mister glass is so smart, it wouldn't surprise if he had a plan to survive too. But kevin Wendell crumb is mostly likely dead.
Loved every second until the last 10 min, ending was at the same time uplifting that the recorded footage got out to the mass media, but so so sad how each one of the main 3 characters were killed off 😞
its not that they were just killed, Its HOW. Especially Dunn
Since Unbreakable is my favorite movie EVER, Glass broke my heart. It is what it is.
Its my favorite movie as well
The only thing lamer than the way they took out Dunn in this movie would be if he met his demise at the hands of a squad of clover tatted hitmen armed with super soakers.
What angered me the most about David Dunn’s death is how nobody noticed him getting drowned by that Swat dude? Like wasn’t his son like 10 feet away, how did he not notice
That pissed me off so much. It was as if his son sat back and watched the show
you know he got drag out by them
It was done discreetly. The "SWAT" dude even pretended to revive David after killing him.
He was fine when he was in the rain, every time water made him week he was drowning
well in the prison like place the girl did explain that the water dispensers they had install was using high pressure systems so that it would have made a tone of water in the cell to drown him fast and then open the sinks to empty it out to avoid killing him
The fucking room sprayed water on him like a hose, and he was on the floor like a lil bitch after they sprayed him for like 30 seconds. Do you know how long that room would take to fill up completely with water, that shit would take days!
Part of the reason why he wears a poncho as his getup
I was hoping the hospital housed other captive "super people" that would have been freed by Elijah when he hacked the computer, who in turn would have come to David's rescue at the end. 🤔
I think it was, and that's why the doctor made the staff move all the patients away from the fight
It's not xmen 😅
If David Dunn couldn't take showers, he and his wife would have thought he was different way earlier. However, she shows no indication that he was weird physically at all, especially in the scene when trying to recall if he ever got sick. Plus, David never thought his behavior around water was that weird until glass commented on him choking on it more easily, nothing to do with feeling weak when it touches him.
@Evmaxbra what i took from the movie is not him geting wet, its him choking on water, the high pressure valces in his room would fill all the space around him with water, its like trying to breath with a water hoose pointed at your face, thus why he fell on the ground and not while he is taking a shower because he can face away from the water
When it gets in his lungs
Jesus, you people. Jeremy is wrong. He isn't weak by touching water. He almost drowned in the tank and was weak from that.
@Evmaxbra It can flood in through his eyes, it could have filled the room (he was drenched when Dr Staple came in and there was signs that the floor was a bit filled up), went in through his nose, etc. He probably doesn't need a lot of it, and it's also like a hose flying into him from all directions, that's getting in somehow. Even then, remember, an amount of this is tied to belief as well
Dunn probably took showers with the ideology that you don't need to be strong when taking a fucking shower.
Am I the only one who nearly broke into tears during Hedwig’s death. “I won’t be nine any more!!!”
I think he said I love being nine which is so much more heartbreaking but I love this scene so much especially with Kevin taking over the light and telling casey that he is taking control of the light for the final moments
“I can’t take the light!”
Did Jeremy just created the greatest twist ending of all time? Chris Stuckmann gave Glass a "huh?" as well. O_O
Dunn: room full of water guns
Kevin: room full of lights
Glass: a guy will drop a flashlight on his knees from a short distance 😂😂
Glad I wasn’t the only one who was pissed off with the way that David Dunn died
Yeah, it was retarded. Had a debate too at the cashier if I was gonna get the IMAX tickets or just get regular ones, so fucking glad I went regular.. nothing worse than seeing someone That's supposed to be "unbreakable" drown in a pot hole on an IMAX screen what a waste of time. A few laughs with the different personalities though, the only highlight in the movie for me.
@@agentmay0 Amen!!!!!! I felt like Sarah Paulson's obnoxious character got more screen time than all 3 of the "main" characters combined.
I rewatched Unbreakable, and Dunn said he almost died when 2 kids dunked his head under water. Also,Elijah hinted about secret org hiding superhero existences. He also talked about coming books being some sort of a truthteller to society about superheroes existing. That's basically the premise of Glass I think. Glass is his movie, he created Dunn and The Horde, and he's the mastermind. Glass, in my opinion is not a sequel buh it's all one continual story. Also, a Superheroey showdown at a tower actually would make zero sense to a movie set in realism. Yes, it could have worked buh I like the direction it went. It's ballsy, someone said it's an origin story for basically every single superhero movie. That's pretty epic.
THANK YOU!!
I mean the whole secret organization of hero/villain killers kinda isn't very realistic either. If they had next level god like powers sure. But all three of these guys could probably be taken out by explosives, getting gases, highly skilled snipers etc. So really is an organization dedicated to take out people like them really necessary? I like the concept but it feels forced with this more grounded superhero film. This would have worked better in the Incredibles or something.
@@darksideofevil13 well think about it. There are actual cults in this world that dedicate themselves to silly and crazy shit. All it is to the 'organization' is an agenda. Imagine get out but more organized instead of just one family but a whole cult.
I mean Elijah creating the horde was basically a coincidence so that’s kinda stupid
This movie is not an origin story to every super hero movie. There is absolutely no basis for this at all lol. David Dunn in unbreakable said he swallowed water when he was dunked under and almost drowned. He brought that up because that was the only time he had ever been hurt in his entire life. Dunn and The Horde fighting at a tower would still be realistic. You act as if people cant fight at a tower. It wouldve made for a better ending than a dumb ass organization that shows up to keep super heroes under wraps. Like where the fuck were they when David Dunn survived that train crash without a scratch on him?
Just seen this film and I hated the end. David Dunn survives a train crash but can't survive a puddle.
Superman can survive black holes but not a green rock.
@@raynwolfsbane2084 well said
I mean they always said his weakness was water
But he was fine fighting in the water tank but couldn't fight back in the puddle?
@@captainspazma2002 damn, that is a good point
Personally, the biggest problem with black clover group was that their victory was 110% circumstantial. You mean to tell me that this org that has been around for 10,000 years was planning to kill the beast during the 30 seconds anya taylor joy turned the beast weak AND that the organization was planning to use the pothole in the parking lot against David Dunn?! It's highly improbable that the organization had a good plan to dispose of the main characters, cause they only showed up with guns, and if the movie didn't play out like a bootleg version of the Final Destination films then there was no way this organization "that has been around for 10,000 years" was going to win, and it makes no sense how they could possibly be consistent in beating previous super powered people. I can't remember who said it, but one of the other youtube reviewers said it best when he said "This is the most M Night Shyamalan ever."
Tachibana Ukyo they didn’t plan to kill them then. They planned to convince them they didn’t have powers and if that didn’t work they were going to use the brain wipe thing. It only happened in the parking lot because glass broke everyone out
@@ZR38315 Absolutely agree! But that's what I'm saying. Plan A and B didn't work, so plan C the clover guys run out into the parking lot with guns and do...what? What did they think they were going to do? They (clover) didn't have a good contingency plan for if the guys escaped, but the movie tells you these guys have been dealing with mutants for thousands of years. So was this the first time mutants ever escaped? An organization that has been dealing with mutants for years should have something up their sleeve other than guns, cause they already knew that bullets wasn't either of their weaknesses; which is why I think the clover reveal wasn't nearly as effective as Shyamalan wants it to be. Plus they should've just used the mind wipe thing in the first place and called it a day. :p
Tachibana Ukyo that’s true lol. They should’ve just used it in the first place. Sorry I misunderstood what you said in the first post hahaha. Now that I think about it that’s true what you say. I guess I just assumed that how surprised they were at glass escaping led me to believe that they were the first ones because glass is like one of the smartest guys out there. But your point is totally plausible. I feel stupid for not noticing that lol
Yes and they are called the illuminati.
They've been working for the same cause/ideology/boss and been around since the dawn of mankind, as long as there is a mass of ppl, there will always be some who control us and control what to get out to the public
Mr glass is the true hero since he defeats the organization
Abe Yeah but since the organization wasn’t a problem until the very last minutes it’s pretty unfulfilling resolution.
Also this true hero killed a lot of people. I like that in the end the villain got what he wanted and “he was right” in a way even though his methods are wrong ... But the reason a true hero like Dunn was trying to stop him in the first place was because he is a freaking mass murderer.
And as Jeremy points out, the movie never addresses this as it should. They have so little time together it’s frustrating.
Mr. Glass did what was necessary lol.
Thats coming from you....supreme leader
How? By security camera videos showing, as Paulson's character put it, feats that really anyone really strong or acrobatic could do.
Very slowly flipping a cop car from the side and bending a metal bar? Two buff guys fighting and denting a panel van?
Actually think about what's on those videos and if you'd actually believe they were super-human if you saw them.
And that's assuming you even thought they were real and not faked/staged because, again, security cameras.
It's honestly the least impressive master plan ever.
He doesn't. He beats the doctor, that wanted no violence and to convince people with superpowers that they were crazy.
Wait, why did you end your video like that???? It's unfulfilling!
Jeremy is so clever ☺
Exactly my thoughts: I see what you did there :)
'Think you've just answered your own question, dude.
It just leaves you there it's just like..... huh
I don't like your review because you didn't stick the landing...I don't care how interesting the rest of it was nor how good it was...you didn't stick the landing so I don't recommend it.
About water making him weak, I didn't take it that way from Unbreakable. From what they showed, his weakness was simply that he could drown. I mean, if water made him weak, when he fought that guy at the end of Unbreakable to free those kids, he would have gotten owned. Why would he have gotten owned? He was already wet before he fought the dude, because it was raining outside. To top it off, once the kids help him out of the pool, he goes back inside (after being submerged in the pool and being out in the rain) and chokes the guy out. If water made him weak simply by touching him, he would've been done for. Glass literally made it seem like water was his kryptonite. Like, I understand he was kinda choking at the end, however, compared to how Unbreakable ended with him also gagging, why in Glass does he all of a sudden not have his strength? It was a regular joe schmo holding him in a puddle that was a few inches deep. Dude should have been able to just simply do a push up and hold himself up. I think M. Night kinda botched how he made the character look in Unbreakable, if indeed water simply touching him makes him weak. That, or he simply forgot how he made the character, and screwed the pooch in Glass.
Also, I thought the ending could have been way better. I was at first thinking that no way David Dunn was going to die. Then, when he did, I thought about Mr. Glass saying to his mom that "This isn't a limited addition. It's an origin story.", and immediately I thought "Oh shit, because the one girl held the split guy in her arms as he was dying and David Dunn's kid was there when he died, that those two would have powers that were buried within them unlock because of the trauma they just went through, and they'd unleash hell on those other guys.". Think about it, it would literally show the origins on how their powers were "unlocked". Sadly, I was wrong, and disappointed by it.
About the brains power over the body. I think that only pertains to certain individuals, like Kevin Crumb. He obtained his powers by going through trauma all throughout his child hood, and because of that, his body coped by making all these personalities (as is true when people in real life go through trauma as a kid growing up). I have watched interviews and vlogs with actual people that have multiple personalities, and they say for each personality, a different traumatic event in their lives is what made each specific one. Each one is made specifically to cope with whatever they were encountering at that time. For David Dunn, he was just born with the strength and not being able to be harmed/get sick. I think with David Dunn his strength and being immune to getting hurt (besides water) was something he never thought of, and that's why as a kid he wasn't trying to do crazy acts of strength and what not. When he was a kid, the only thing he encountered was finding out he can drown. That was purely a coincidence, in my eyes, and it wasn't a factor of his powers manifesting. I think it was just a matter of him actually needing the strength, and finding out at that time that he could do crazy acts of strength.
Now, as far as the girl not being needed in the movie. I don't think that's true. When Kevin Crumb is The Beast, he is essentially bullet proof. His skin hardens, and he gets additional strength. That's why the shotgun blast to the chest area in Split didn't penetrate his skin. She was needed because other than those flashing lights, she was the only thing that could get him to change from The Beast and into another personality. Basically, when he's The Beast, his skin becomes like a bullet proof vest. He'll take the impact, it'll cause him some pain and bruising, however, it won't penetrate his skin.
As far as the ending with the video going viral and you thinking that'll be that, and people with just move on. That's not necessarily true, either. You see, the world knew who Kevin Crumb, David Dunn, and Elijah Price were BEFORE seeing the video of them displaying super human abilities. Elijah was known for being in the psych ward for causing all of those huge events that killed tons of people, Kevin Crumb was known for being in that psych ward for kidnapping many people over a period of time and killing them, and David Dunn was known as "The Overseer" and saving countless people all over the city. That's why at the end when they were announcing the video on the news cast, they talked about the psych ward and how the people involved were those specific people that everyone had already heard about. By them already being established as REAL people, when everyone watched it, they would be like "OMG, it's true!!!!". Especially if now, all of a sudden, those people are actually dead. Like, why make a fake video to go viral, if those people are actually dead? It gives validity to their powers actually being real, and the fact that people were trying to stop them from being known.
All in all, I think the movie was OK. I'd give it somewhere between a 6-7 out of 10. The ending did irritate me, especially Dunn simply being held in a couple of inches of water by a dude with no powers. The Beast/Kevin Crumb being killed in the manner he was, I'm OK with that. But, a guy who has super strength, the only thing that can kill him is water, and they made it to like the water simply touching him turned him into having no strength at all. That was pretty stupid. I would've been fine if they had like 4 guys bum rush him while he was choking, wrap him in a tarp so he couldn't move, and water board him. That would've been more believable. But, alas, some nothing guy just had to barely hold his face in 2 inches of water. The only other down side to the movie was that it was too long. They needed to either pack more interesting and detailed filler into the middle of the movie, or, cut it down by about 30 minutes.
I feel as though you hit the nail on the head touching all the gripes I had with it as well so I can agree with pretty much everything you've said here, well worth the read.
@@ARottenMuffin Thanks for reading. I can get carried away with my comments, because I like to be very detailed. Haha
Yeah I can completely relate so no worries ;]
You should maybe do vid reviews yourself. That was a pretty good review
@@TGCDJS Thanks. I've thought about doing my own channel for a while now. The only thing is, I'd want to do more than just movie reviews. So, I'm in a dilemma on whether to put everything on 1 channel, or have multiple channels for each specific thing.
Powers in the Unbreakable/Split/Glass universe spawn from traumas. The frontal lobe issue that's touched upon shows that the brain changes the physiology or cognitive ability of super human people. It's not even trying to be high art, it's very blatant how it works by trying to laser Mr. Glass's frontal lobe.
If what she was saying was even true. I interpreted it that she was lying and trying to get them to believe that they’re not heroes so that the secret organization didn’t have to kill them.
@@The-Cole-Train Yeah that's on point. The organization doesn't resort to killing. It could be interpreted that there's been many cases where what we know as crazy people or people with talents actually have super powers and they don't know it
I don’t believe that bitch. She was trying to give Mr Glass a lobotomy, make him a zombie. He didn’t consent to that shit.
The fact that you ended this video the same way, to prove a point is.... Awesometacular
The irony of Jeremy ending This video like the way he described the movie's ending is hilarious😂
I legit went back because I was confused lol
I laughed it was clever
that wasn't an irony it was precisely made that way to prove the point he was coming across.
@@fleeplayTV ok lol
I liked Glass, but it’s definitely a step down from Split and Unbreakable imo. I’d give it a good time no alcohol required, but it really is something that could’ve been a lot better. I’d rather defend this movie than blast it, but I can’t fault anyone for being disappointed
Wow, you clearly had pre-consumption's with this film Jeremy. I literally was down on it after seeing early reviews, went in and thought this was M.Night's best film since unbreakable. He tied everything together even tied his cameo from unbreakable in this at Dunn security. I thought Kevin background got explained more, David's relationship with this son, and that he seems to at his age be going out still doing the hero thing in my opinion to get over the death of this wife.
Elija just wanted to let the world know, and honestly it's hinted at early on he had suspicions of this place and the other patients. As in the other patients other than himself, dunn and kevin. They tied kevin's relationship with the girl from split up well, they tied together elija's mother. i felt this film was hyped too much because of how struck you and everyone else was with split. I think that the pre conception that split was tied to unbreakable made people want something that was as spell binding and revolutionary as unbreakable was when it hit cinema's.
I felt though this could have been unbreakable 2, was a good way to give us more of the things that we loved out of both those movies and give a conclusion that was very thought provoking just like the ending to each split, and unbreakable.
Bringing together many themes was what I got out of it. Maybe the clover society stuff didn't land as well, but i felt how everyone died was so true to everything. David went out still saving people, Kevin didn't die alone, he had someone who cared for him by his side, and the hoard didn't hide him from the light. Elija wanted to prove to the world in a good guy way that they exist.
I thought david dying in a small pool of water came full circle to unbreakable, and especially when he grabbed her hand. He was reassured before he died he was who he was.
I disagree with you and every other critic who totally in all honesty got this movie wrong. And I THINK it';s because you were expecting another unbreakable or split in how it kept us guessing in what the movie was about. But we knew from the get go what it was about, but what we got was another Elija pulling us along and just like M.night in Unbreakable giving us hints throughout of Elija's motives and plan that to our surprise reveal the truth.
I agree with a few of your points J, but not all. I really enjoyed the movie, yes even the ending, and I appreciate you explaining your reasons and giving us an honest review, yet being completely respectful. You're one of the only critics who don't trash and root against the movies they aren't particularly a fan of. Thank you for being you :)
Eda BK *replicas didnt like that comment*
I loved the ending as well. I dont understand the hate.
You're a pussy that can not handle brutal honesty.
The ending sucked ass and the rest of the film was average at best what are you on?
Love The trilogie
Personally, I found the direction it took to be fascinating. When people argue that this isn't Glass' movie, I think it really is because his actions are what define the movie and its direction: heading towards the final showdown and revelation. I understand why some would be disappointed with the deaths of these characters. But not only did it blow any expectations out of the water, but it worked for the story Shyamalan was trying to tell. Society shuns those with faith, belief in something more than what science can tell us, demonstrated in their superhero abilities. This is personified in Sarah Paulson's psychiatrist. Glass makes the ultimate sacrifice for himself, Kevin and David, so that the world can see the injustice and be inspired once more to accept faith and believe in something beyond the real that we exist in. It's an optimistic ending for sure, but one shrouded in the sudden shock of what's just happened. A second viewing is essential I feel.
i agree fully
i enjoyed the movie very much so!
It’s precisely that which made the film so utterly pretentious.
Honestly the film this reminded me of was Lady in the Water, and that’s not good.
@@alsybroth "Pretentious" is such a non-criticism.
Where are you all getting the idea that people of faith are shunned? In America, some places won't allow an Atheist to run for office. Americans would rather vote for a Muslim than an Atheist. Where do you get off as some persecuted minority?
@@ericp1139 For me it's more like people don't fight for their beliefs anymore , now we make a speech everything to be equal and nice no one should offend anyone tha it's depressing .
There’s one difference between Unbreakable and Glass: Unbreakable starts with a train wreck and becomes a masterpiece, while Glass starts with a masterpiece and becomes a train wreck.
"Sorry Elijah you died for nothing." I laughed out loud on that one.
Mr. Glass pulled a Rorschach in the end.
He sure did.
meh. not quite.
Oh shit, he did in a way
No, Rorshach died without getting the truth out. Mr. Glass succeeded in getting the truth out.
watertommyz he did. Watch/read the movie/comic again, rorshach's journal gets out
Shyamalan has said there’s a 3 1/2 hour cut of ‘Glass’. So much of the movie screams there are deleted scenes.
A lot of the movie is deleted scenes from Unbreakable and Split. The carnival ride was a deleted scene from Unbreakable, which caught me off guard because I had scene this before. Then I realized I had scene it on my DVD copy.
The other personalities were also cut from Split. They focused on four of Kevin's personalities: Patricia, Hedwig, Dennis, and The Beast.
they were also alot of scenes taken from The Happening, the Lady in the Water and Last Airbender in order tie those movies into the universe that were left in the cutting room floor.
The Ghost of John Lennon id love to see that cut, this movie had so much color and felt like an interesting world
C. Harr The World sucks! Shyamaladingdong is a hack!
I need to see that shit
We were promised a grounded superhero movie we’d never seen. What we got was a movie that forgets about superhero’s and is like every crazy house movie we always see. I’d prefer this have been split into 2 films. The first 20 mins be its own movie. A noir film of David hunting the beast and Elijah in the crazy house pulling the strings to get them both there. Part 4 could have been the crazy house but they break out. They do make it to the giant building . David beats the beast and stops Elijah from blowing up the tower . They all turn on each other Elijah is broken and is dying, the beast is killed by the secret Organization and maybe David dies trying to save him but drowns. But this was all part of Elijah’s plan in the end the world saw hero’s fight . Then it ends maybe by seeing other superhuman beings. Maybe someone who can run 60 mph . Shows another reading minds etc. maybe shows a dogman . Then it ends .
dannyhuskerjay I like that, Danny. Especially seeing other superheroes rise. That would’ve taken a bit off the pain for my hero David Dunn dying.
I always thought that just "Security" would've been a good name for David Dunn
In my opinion, this franchise was really great overall. My rating for the movies would be:
Unbreakable- 10/10
Split- 9/10
Glass- 8/10
Mike Tank Brown ll glass 0/10
I wish there's 2 version ending releass for Split w/o David Dunn.
So it would be self contained chapter
I don’t hate the ending, I actually thought it was pretty smart, but I think for this movie it didn’t work just because with how long people have waited for this, and to end with all them dying in such a way, it kind of left a bitter taste in my mouth. I think if unbreakable and split didn’t happened, the ending for this movie would have been received better
Agree, most of people disappointed because they waited so long only to see David get killed by some random guy. They expected the classic "Good guys win, bad guys lose, everybody is happy" ending or the "Superheroes die with superheroes style" ending.
Yea if unbreakable wasn't so long ago, I think people wouldn't have been so mad. I watched them all within a week
Unless ...that's precisely why it does work. Ahem.
i really hate the ending, not bc they kill all the main chars, but bc the plan was so stupid. yeah, like people will belive everything in a video they watch on internet, amd that is the plan of the smartest man on earth, that's like a middle finger to my face
Kill Me no you’re wrong, people like to use the excuse that we expected the classic good guy to win, that’s not true at all. All of us would have been ok with him dying like the other two, it’s not about the fact that he did die, it’s about the way it was executed.
I to felt he was struggling to create an ending that could be effective, ending on a secret organisation.
Here's an ending that would have maintained the story through line and still kept the same twist:
During act 2, as the doctor is trying to convince them all they have no super powers, she puts them all bar glass through a series of tests such as smash this rock, climb this wall, etc. Dunn hurts his hand, the beast slides off and reverts back to another personality....all including the audience are shocked and confused thinking that maybe it is indeed all all illusion.
Act 3 continues as per normal, all deflated but glass is the one that is determined to get the beast to believe in himself and get Dunn to come out and force himself back.
He achieves this and all of a sudden Dunn breaks down the door, the beast does seem to be back, etc.
During the final fight were they are trying to escape and contend with each other and the cops, glass has a theory which is that a chain of events and belief in one self allows the power of the mind to make physical improvements- so if someone's belief is shaken the abilities subside. This is perfectly in line with split and how Kevin can bring the beast out.
Twist- what convinced glass of this theory was when he found out that Kevin dad was on the same train, and realising there is some sort of chain effect that flows from incident to incident...severe traumatic experience is required to kickstart this process which they have all gone through.
When the beast finds this out he is shocked that this has only happened because of the train crash orchestrated by glass...and so that shake in his origin starts making him lose strength and power as he no longer believes in his purpose being truly his.
Dunn also fulfills his arc by seeing that the best way to stop glass is to not be a hero...and he to plays pretend that he is not and superhero no longer
Glass is killed by the beast by choking.
In a scene with the doctor with Dunn alone, she confirms that her faith has been shaken and cannot explain what she saw them do during the fight....but Dunn in sits to HER its all in your head and now he is convincing her that she is suffering from illusions , and with everyone dead does it even matter.
Come some time later Dunn is released back to his son. he states why he can no longer be the overseer in fear of raising another glass.
Come final scene. Viral video has dropped and it is revealed that glass recorded the whole fight and now the world knows heroes exist...Dunn now looks to his son in shock as they now know the world knows of his ability...and thus glass wins and we are left to decide how Dunn chooses how to twckle his future as the overseer with the world knowing about his powers.
What do you think? It maintains our hero, actually gives arcs to all characters (dunn wants to be a hero then chooses not to be for the greater good, glass wants then to be known and gets it, the beast learns his true creator, the doctor now believes the unbelievable but questions her own sanity) and we end on glass winning with dunn now having to face the future and possible ramifications
I liked the film but that works too
Yeah, I like your enthusiasm for writing, and keep trying.
But it's not better than Shamalyan's ending.
@@SamA-cl5pn don't be one of those defend shamalyan fools. His ending sucked hard and my take on it would have salvaged the film
@@resilientpictures9990 No it wouldn't, sorry man, until you get better, stick to your day job lol.
If you didn't like the ending, that's your opinion. I liked it, and I believe in terms of story it's a good ending. But that's my opinion, if you don't want to take it that's you.
Resilient Pictures Damn man, you were doing just fine until you reacted rudely to someone simply stating their opinion about what you wrote, compared to the movie. How insecure must you be to react like that to a differing opinion?
I’m surprised by how much the trilogy has been known as a low-key super hero series but people wanted grand deaths for the heroes. Dunn can bend steel, he can’t level a skyscraper. Glass is smart but brittle, and fittingly created his own end, The Beast is a wild force, but Kevin is vulnerable (as was said, The Horde was protecting him). Yeah, I buy Dunn dying by drowning, Kevin by a bullet, and Glass as he planned it. We focus on the puddle, but he was fighting The Beast in the water tank. Can he not be already exhausted from escaping a vat of his weakness and then be killed by a mortal?
No one has an issue with the way Glass or Kevin died. Just Dunn's, if he had drowned in the water tank or something a little bit better, then the movie would of been a lot better.
I think the reviews and opinions in the comments are a symptom of the times. Everyone wants what they want and aren't open to the unexpected. Dun was old, and just got the shit beat out of him by a much younger EQUAL or stronger mutant, while drowning in a tank of his death juice, barely broke out, and within minutes of laying in a big ass puddle, got drowned in a smaller one. This wasn't a lame MCU/DC kiddie flick, and if that's what you wanted you're delusional. The hero doesn't always triumph against the odds, sometimes they only leave a crack big enough for the light to reach others.
I just saw Glass last night and I feel like you misunderstood David's room. They aren't sprinklers, they were 40, highly pressurized water hoses aimed to him. So...just think of yourself being trapped in a mega carwash that's tucked away in a tiny room. The water pressure alone would kill basically everyone.
@Evmaxbra But he can drown, that was the whole point. Not to get him wet, but to hold him down with pure water pressure and choke or drown. The whole room was made to prey on his fear of drowning.
@Evmaxbra they would only kill him if he got out, the water was only to control him and make him realize there's no escaping alone, it was just to keep him in check.
This reviewers will see marvel/DC movies few times but they saw Glass for one time and gave incorrect info like this
Right. It's like a fire hose being sprayed in your face. All it takes is for David to get some in his lungs and he'll get weaker.
However that room was terribly designed do drown him or to even restrain him with the high pressure water. Why were all the pipes and nozzles like 2 feet from the walls. Dunn can just stay between the walls and pipes?
This movie is enjoyable, so long as you don’t look too deeply into it. Because there is so many things that just don’t make sense or things characters or people do that no actual human would actually do, but it looks good (it looks ok)
after I saw this Movie Twice.. I change my mind.. this actually next level comic book movie.. M Night create his own universe and then he ended it..
Except this wasn't an ending or a limited edition it never was. It was an Origin Story.
@@Multistrangedude1 I understood that reference

M-Night Cinematic Universe
@@zandyzain6241 M-Night Shyamalatic Universe
In terms of the Water being Dunn's Kryptonite, I interpreted it as the water sprinklers spray directly at his face with a really high pressure (the high pressure/15000 gallons thing was mentioned), which gives Dunn the _illusion_ of drowning. In other words, his "weakness" is all in his head, and this is pretty consistent with Unbreakable.
I disagree with several points mentioned about Glass; I think it was very effective in what it was setting out to do. Dunn was allowed to live his life up till now without interference by Black Clover because he wasn't using his powers and becoming a spectacle in the public eye. Black Clover's goal is to keep the existence of supers hidden. If Dun had led a normal life and never used his powers, they wouldn't have bothered him. The Doctor even mentioned that if she had convinced them that their powers were a delusion, she would have let them go. Glass - well she was going to lobotomize him and make him 'normal' again since he simply wouldn't play ball. Dunn and the Beast are harder to contain so they were going to kill them if they couldn't sew enough doubt into their mind. It makes perfect sense in that regard and thus why Black Clover didn't pick up Dunn right after the trainwreck. He wasn't doing anything to warrant their attention.
Another thing of note, and something that was assumed because of the end of Unbreakable - Glass is not Dunn's arch nemesis. Glass IS the villain, but not Dunn's villain per se. To use a venture brothers term, Glass is Black Clover's Arch. His sole purpose is to show the world supers exist; Black Clover's purpose has been the exact opposite for centuries. Also, Dunn and the Beast were created from the same tragedy; their powers are similar, (super endurance and strength, semi-invulnerability) They are rivals of one another whom Glass created with his actions. Another tick that makes Glass the Arch of Black Clover and not Dunn or the Beast. His actions literally create Supers; plus he was born this way so the triggering event was his birth which doesn't coincide with anything in Dunn's life IIRC.
I enjoyed the movie and after sitting and reconsidering all the clues provided, I enjoyed it even more once I realized Glass was the antithesis to Black Clover. Plus, his last words "I wasn't a mistake" is even more evidence that his whole purpose was to upset Black Clover's centuries long agenda which he did in the end through the help of the supporting cast (which he called the cast of main characters).
I really loved this movie and honestly not disappointed.

I actually liked the movie, except for two things, I agree with Jeremy, I thought it was drowning; not water in general. And David's death; the retcon and his death just felt lazy. Yeah the secret society too, that was just odd...
Regarding David Dunn weakness to water, while he was in the tank of water he still had the strength to bust through the wall. So it makes no sense why he couldn't use it while being drowned in a puddle.
Besides the fact the movie was lacking in every regard.
5:50 "Why is she in the movie?" Well actually the part where she brings back Kevin at the end was my favourite scene of the movie, it was a very touching moment.
Also the part where she sees the comics (thanks to the soundtrack), so yeah for me, the best part of the movies involve her
Jeremy, you got a few things wrong:
1: the reason that they don't go after Dunn after his train crash is because the doctor say right before they kill him that she was going to leave him alone but the beast forced her and the Clover's hand.
2: Casey needs to be in the movie because Casey wouldn't just walk away. She's a stronger person than that, and she saw Kevin's turmoil. She would've come back to talk to him either way, and the doctor would want to know how to get Kevin out and use her to do so to convince him of his "delusion". Honestly Casey's probably my fav character because she's the only one who has no powers who puts herself on the line in order to save a tormented soul because she sees the same in herself. Also, Anya's a fantastic actress and anytime I get to see her act in a performance that shows off what she can really do I'm all for it.
3: The Court of Clovers doesn't make them think their powers aren't real. When speaking to the Court, Dr. Staple makes it pretty clear this is their first time trying this and this is how the orginization will operate afterwards (but obviously that doesn't happen because Glass ruins them all).
4: it would be a viral video? The Beast & Glass likely made national headlines. A mass murderer and a man with 20+ different personalities who kidnapped and murdered a bunch of teenagers at a zoo with his bare hands, and continued to do so for 3 weeks after escaping capture and reportedly surviving multiple gunshot wounds? That's a serial killer that makes Dahmer look like a bratty child. Also The Overseer, a vigilante in a major city that likely operated for months if not years finally getting caught? Yeah, all three of these people are pretty well known. Also, they filmed everything in the ward, too. They saw Dunn beat down a steel door with his body and bend a steel bar. They dented a car with their fists and kept fighting. The Beast climbed up and around walls. And all of those abilities were reported by the news but dismissed as "conspiracy theories", now there's physical evidence, which also means the cops covered it up. Also there's footage of Dr. Staple watching David Dunn get drowned, as well as A COP DROWNING A MENTAL PATIENT AND GUNNING DOWN AN UNARMED MAN! Who tf wouldn't be paying attention?!
And Dunn was able to be drowned because he was still weak from the beast trying to drown him
@@TheExecutioner21 Jermey doesn't dispute that it was possible, he just didn't like how it turned out. It's not his fault his opinion is wrong 😂
Let's not forget the SWAT guy being eaten alive by the beast.
@@Winnetou64 You riģht you riģht
The problem isn't that there was a viral video. It was how they decided to show the video being viral. Even when a mass shooting or a bombing happens (which makes headlines), you don't see everyone around you pull out there phone looking at a video taken during the incident. It would take an event near the level of 9/11 to make the rounds in the same way that video did. It felt like an exaggerated scene, that could have been achieved in a more realistic way if the David's son and the other 2 (can't remember their names) were watching the news and the footage was shown. So no matter how I look at it, that scene seems like a bit much.
I overall enjoyed this film. The acting from James Mcavoy is amazing. That dude needs at least a oscar nominations by his performances in these 2 movies. I really love the fact that, I didn't see that ending coming. For the people that didn't like it, I think they need to watch it twice.
Mike Tank Brown ll same! I didn’t see it coming and I really liked it!
@@MovieMagic30. yeah I kind a like it, secret societies are all around us it's real and it's ancient
come on... A secret organization that's revealed in last 10min of the movie? That's poor writing.
And the execution of Dunn's death was just bad. It wasn't violent, he didn't seem to even struggle to get free lol and don't forget the breaks from drowning, just for Paulson to explain the plot.
Watched the about two nights ago and agree with Jeremy. David Dunn's weakness was drowning, he was as the movie stated UNBREAKABLE, meaning nothing could hurt him but he was still a human and needed air so I assume suffocating him would work too but then we get the whole argument about his lungs and shit. His death was shit, For me the way Glass died due to the Beast was near perfect. I get that they needed to take out the Beast because he was too wild and uncontrollable but Dunn would have jumped when they said how high. Up until the doctor showed him the vision he knew nothing, she was just a shrink and nothing more. They could have just shot the Beast and said it was a sniper. He would have believed that shit, killing him, to me was just seemed like shock value. The Doctor said the They left him alone for all those years because there was only one, He was the only one left so why couldn't they still just leave him be? thoroughly enjoyed he movie up until then. It just seemed unnecessary. Also the whole flash scene with her just seemed like an exposition dump, like why did she have to show him the truth? I think it would have been better to scrap the whole clovers cult and just had Kevin get shot by a swat sniper. It would have been a bitter sweet moment because you knew he didn't deserve to die but know the cop did the right thing. Have Dunn survive and Doctor now knowing the truth lets him go, saying that He was sane, leaving him and his son, and I guess the girl, to fight street thugs again, Maybe the son and girl get together or something? but that I think would have been a truly just ending, one leaving you both sad but with a little bit of happiness at the end. (God knows Dunn fucking deserved a happy ending. Cunt was a literal hero). But that's just my take, would like to hear yours, love it , hate it? let me know.
The importance of the video being released actually connects to something that Mr. Glass said to David's wife Audrey in Unbreakable. "These are mediocre times Mrs. Dunn. People are starting to lose hope. It's hard for many to believe there are extraordinary things inside themselves and others."
To me Casey had a purpose in the film. To show Kevin that he wasn't alone and that it was okay for him to be in the light. Her and Kevin formed a bond/friendship. She tried to help him and tried to protect him. To see where she ended up after Split. She was there with Kevin, Dennis, and Hedwig till the very end. She forgave them. I mean you could say the same thing for Mrs. Price. She didn't really have a reason to be there. She really didn't do anything.
They never had that kind of bond in split lol. In split, kevin just told her to kill him before he switched personalities lol there was really no bond. It's a plothole in this movie. If anyone, it would be hedwig.
@@ciyoduhkriter he literally tells her "you're just like me" or something along the lines of that in Glass. Anya literally says that in an interview.
@@jaycruz7520 okay? That still doesn't explain how they *all of a sudden* click in glass.
@@ciyoduhkriter she only spoke to Hedwig, Dennis, and Kevin. You're telling me you don't know how her and Hedwig "clicked?" There's a deleted scene in Split where Dennis tells Casey about his doubts. I'm sure Casey found out later on about what happened to Kevin otherwise she wouldn't have understood what he said to her in Glass. That's all I'm gonna say. If you don't see it then it really isn't my problem.
@@jaycruz7520 no. You got it wrong. How casey and *kevin* clicked in glass. It felt like they met more than just that one time at the zoo. I don't think you realize that there's a missing gap between split and glass in order for casey and kevin to get that intimate. In other words; plot hole. Of course casey understands what kevin is going through but was kevin ever that close with casey in split? I don't think so.
I really didn’t like how they handled David Dunn’s death. But I feel the ending was somewhat improved by the public learning that superheroes actually do exist.
That was the point
THANK YOU! It wraps up the movie from the very first comic book to their deaths and exposure.
did they. or they just went "this video is fake and gay"....
You're so right about the lack of interaction between David and Elijah. What the hell, that should have been the core of the movie.
They explained why the secret organization didn’t intervene before. It was because there wasn’t a villain at the time. With no villain there wasn’t much risk for getting exposed to the world. But when they realized Dunn was after the beast they feared their powers could get exposed to the world if they fought in public.
But in the end, I completely agree with the fact that there was no payoff in the end, and that the ending didn’t stick the landing it was intending to land. The message is all well and good but at the cost of developed characters, and a decent execution, it wasn’t worth it, because I sat there with a real disappointed expression when the credits started rolling
I could definitely understand why many ppl cud hate this ending. It does feel rushed and out of no where but I feel there could be a deeper meaning behind it. In today's movies we have a shit ton of super hero movies and the heros dont seem to die. The film ends basically establishing that there are more super heroes and super villains
Yea it occupies a unique space in superhero filmography
@@adamgarcia7192 The ideas in the film are great but the execution could have been a bit better. But the movie is definitely worth a watch
I'm really glad that Glass went against expectation. Hero movies are a dime a dozen anyway.
@@Tonius126 whether someone like or hated the ending unless we can agree that this movie is not forgettable
DvDO7 Yeah, and it establishes they’re all dead.
Congratulations for recognising how the ending makes you feel, now you know why its called glass. Because your expectations got shattered. (WE ALMOST GOT YOU BRO)
M. Night Shyamalan: Yeah, I know people have been waiting for 19 years for an Unbreakable sequal and 2 years for a Split sequal. So fuck it David Dunn, Mr. Glass, and The Horde are dead. And yes, David drowned in a puddle
I loved Glass. I understand completely how fans of Unbreakable could go in with certain expectations that would lead to them being disappointed by the ending but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a well made and well acted movie. Objectively. And of course Casey should be in the movie! She is an importat piece of Kevin's story and their interactions were super powerful. Yes, they could have taken him out some other way but then i'd probably not have sobbed my heart out in the middle of the theater.
Not objectively, no.
Watching James switch characters in a blink was so fecking good. I'll be surprised if he doesn't get nominated for the Oscars
I can see Jeremy hating that she shows up so a grunt can kill Kevin.
@@deathsdoor07 I understand that. But he's basically saying there was no reason for her to be in the film. She had as much reason as David's son and Mr. Glass' mother. Plus i think most of us were interested to find out what turn her life took after Split.
bro it just cause something is well acted doesn't mean it can't be shit a porn could be well acted where some literally eats shit doesn't make it not shit.
The psychiatrist told David that the “Clovers” were okay until he started going against the Beast, the conflict was causing chaos. When David was alone, he was just a normal vigilante in the eyes of the people.
I didn’t initially think David wasn’t any way allergic to water, but if you think about the events in unbreakable, it kind of makes sense.
By the time he decides to do the caped vigilante thing, the movie has already established that he’s significantly stronger and more durable than the average man, but when he goes up against that guy in the house, it’s nearly an even match. And it shouldn’t have been, given what we know about David.
But when you realize that it was pouring rain that entire night, and despite having a poncho on, David was most certainly getting wet, which if water was his actual kryptonite, might explain why he struggled so much to overpower that guy.
And it could be that David in actuality he has no problem with water in regards to drinking or showering, but while showering, he may be rendered powerless, not necessarily weak.
I think the fact of this being a Glass movie is all about his line at the end. "It's not an exclusive, it's an origin story." And when you realize that you'll see he set up this whole trilogy 19 years ago to play out like it did in the end to show the world heroes exist. The whole trilogy is his plan all along.
I think Dunn's costume shows water (wet) is his weakness. He wears a poncho to protect himself from water.
I think
That was just his security guard outfit he wore to hid his identity but if you wanna be artsy you could say that but it was just a coincidence he wore it to fight crime.
He shouldhve invested in a wet suit.
Imagine if David Dunn was running around in scuba gear
@@Ytomany well Samuel Jackson got a purple suit as his favorite color (also his light saber) and he suggested to get a cane made out of glass to make metaphorical representation. Which led to Shymalan add an insert of his cane breaking down the stairs.
@@taikimori3186 I knew that already cause I am a mega star wars fan and I watched unbreakable alot.
The way I remember it from Unbreakable, water does sort of impede his functionality. Think of it this way, does it make sense that a superhero's weakness is drowning? I don't think so, that's too specific. On the other hand, saying water in general is his weakness makes sense. I assumed the pool almost killed him because he was in a large pool of water. Also, his rain slicker is a reference to his weakness, it's his shield against water. It would have no symbolic value against drowning.
6/10 movie. Easily the weakest of the trilogy.
Daniel Mashanic Same. 6.6/10
This should've been the strongest of the trilogy. Truly a tragedy.

Never saw the first moive and didnt know this moive was a trilogy but what catch me it the begain was way have they weakness in the cell with you if you think there are just crazy? I knew feom the begain they knew they power was real and they was just trying to convance them it wasnt. My first questin would have been if i was lock up was why you have my weakness in this cell with me? If i am crazy why not just a normal crazy cell like other crazy people?
SPOILER!!! DONT READ THIS UNTIL YOU SAW THE MOVIE
David Dunn's death pissed me off, but what pissed me off even more was that the reveal of the Illuminati.
My attempt of approaching some of your criticisms...
1. After David learning about water being is kryptonite and became more anxious and sensitive to it causing himself to have the Chuck effect as you described regarding Better Call Saul
2. Davids death is justfied because he thought he was weakened by the water and thus physically manifested those symptoms. Just like how The Beast can crawl ane bend metal and take bullets as he did in Split. So David being weakened prevented his ability to fight off the soldier he drowned him.
3. Casey has a connection to Kevin she developed at the end of Split when they bonded over their history of being abuse. She also felt bad for him and his other personalities like Hedwig
3. There is a huge difference between David Dunn and Superman. We can't picture Superman dying at the hands of regular person because Superman is heavily exaggarated but David Dunn could easily be drowned by a regular dude. Hell David Dunn almost died when the Orange man pushed him in the pool.
It's more then just sprinkles that was in his room. His whole room fill ed up with water from the tank outside then drains out. Him choking from being under water is what weakings him for a bit. He didnt get weak from rain outside at night. He has to choke on water. He can drink water and shower and be just fine. Its the choking of water in him that does it.
They do kind of explain why the shadow society left David Dunn alone
Pretty much because he kept to the shadows and did nothing super public UNTIL the publicity got bigger and bigger.
They probably weren’t even after Dunn. They were probably there for The Beast but Dunn just happened to be there.
@@magnolia549 not a retcon. It's just an explanation. Be pissy all you want but it doesn't change the established continuity
@@magnolia549 what retcon?
XOVO I believe they mean the “shadow organization
its sad to know that Bruce's mental illness is why his part was smaller and there was less interaction between him and the other villains
I don't think the videos of superhumans would be forgotten because it involved a prison break, people died, so that would get media coverage. Terrorist threats were made, and there would be an investigation into Ellie Staples and the organization. All that would give the traction for the word of superheroes to spread.
And in the news we hear that there was a mass break out in her asylum.
The first act is brilliant, second act average but it was still entertaining to watch, it hit me hard when kevin came to the light and died I thought what a waste of character we only just met him in Split. As for david what a stupid death.
Walker Reviews Agreed on all.
I liked the ending unlike most people. It was a good conclusion to the film and wasn’t like the fairytale ending like most stories these days where the good guy wins and they all live in peace. It was different and I love stories which are different and unique as it keeps it interesting.
I hope Shyamalan does a spin off about this organisation who hunt down superheroes because they have been around for over 10,000 years. It will be cool to see new powers and how the organisation have dealt with it in the past.
Im sure most people don't mind the characters dying, it's just how they die is quiet disappointing
I thought the same! That David Dunn's weakness was that he was still capable of drowning like everyone else when it came to a lot of water (he probably could also be burned with fire or electrocuted, but it's not like that was ever tested). But instead they retcon it so that water in general makes him weak. If that was the case why go after bad guys when it was raining?? Sure, he had on a rain poncho, but that wasn't made of indestructible material.
Anyway, I did find that it was shitty way for him to go out and that it could have been done better. Like he was still strong enough to punch through the plastic water tank while fighting The Beast (who's hella strong to flip a police car). So seeing a random regular grunt being able to hold him down to drown him doesn't make much sense. Unless this secret organization has special people too? I doubt that because they're hell bent on making sure no one plays at being a 'god'.
Overall, I did like the movie. I appreciate in how the trilogy approached superheroes in a realistic way. But some areas in the film could have been done better. You've actually pointed them out in your review and I agree.
Other people have probably already commented about this, but the way I understood it was that David is much more dense because of his super powers. He has such vast strength and durability because his muscles and his bones are more dense than an average person, and because of that he isn't able to swim or atleast swim well enough to prevent himself from sinking. The sprinklers in his cell I thought were actually there to flood the room in case he tried to escape.
A line that really stuck with me was when Sarah Paulsons character says they don't pick sides when one side appears the other comes after or however she says it I thought about it really David duns counterpart would be the hoard or "the Beast" seeing how the train crash that Elijah price had created them both, but made me question who was Elijah's counter part and I realized it was the court of clovers seeing how they wanted to keep these meta humans a secret but Elijah has always wanted to prove their existence and i was amazed how captivated I was during this movie it was great
He was the protagonist and he won
Yes when need more movies like this that kind of break the movie format that movies go through like alot of people really wanted a marvel ending for glass but this isn't a traditional superheroe movie
Funny, that line stuck out to me as well and I brought that up with my brother. I see David and Elijah as opposites, so who and where is the Beast's?
Like I said I see the Beast is the opposite of David dun if you think about they were both created by the train crash both equally strong I believe their strength Is based on belief (sounds corny) but I think the reason why it took David dun so long to break down that door because he didn't believe that he was this heroe, he didnt believe in himself but on the other hand there's the Beast which I believe his strength is measured by the amount of personalities that believe in the Beast. While I also believe Mr. Glass counter opposite is the Court of clovers giving that their mission opposes Elijah's, all Elijah wanted to do is make every one believe that superheroes and Gillian's exist that was his whole plan in this movie not to mention when Casey, Joseph and Elijah's mother Mrs. Price walk outside of the raven Hill he said the line "ah, the collection of the main characters" because the third act consist of MS. Staple figuring out Elijah's plan and Casey, Joseph, and Mrs. Price continuing Elijah's plan. Allowing him to best the court of clovers
Exact line is " once there is one of you, the opposite of you awakens, then it escalates and we have to step in"
I just thought how this movie is getting recieved is bad maybe because most people are just so used to the Marvel movies it feels wierd to have the unique approach of Glass.
Taiki Mori actually, I think it’s the opposite, especially after Jeremy’s thoughts I believe that the reason people were looking forward to this movie is because it looked much more different than a marvel movie, we went in to glass expecting a complex superhero story that on the surface is about something much smaller, like the first two, but in the end glass tried to be more like a marvel/dc crossover than what we’ve been getting out of these movies so far, which is fine but it takes away what made these series of movies so special, it just makes it feel like a watered down version of the superhero movies we like
Marvel fans aren't going to see this movie. It is fans the 2 previous films in the trilogy, or M. Night Shyamalan fans in general. Even if I were to go by your logic, then wouldn't people have hated Split? It was a thriller with very little action, and a unique spin on the genre. Only came out 2 years ago, and Marvel movies have been around much longer than that. Yet people loved it.
@Forgettable Pebble This movie have nothing to do with Marvel why some fans are disappointed. Thats just a cop out excuse because we all know most likely Marvel or DC fans are not going to see Glass. These are fans that loved Unbreakable and Split and felt Glass didn't live up to those two movies.
I am a Marvel fan, super hero fan, and M. Night fan since Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, The Devil, The Visit...and I was disappointed in this movie...I wish it was actually a smaller movie like Split or Unbreakable...there were things that I liked...but the twist ending fell flat to me
Taiki Mori or the boring 3rd act compared to more intense action sequences or actual stakes on the line other than “I might die”
I just realized David Dunn drowning by nameless fuck is now the equivalent of Abby killing Joel Miller with a Golf Club
I couldn't look at Mr glass in the face in all those close up shots without laughing!
I could just hear Samuel L Jackson saying stuff like: "Bitch please" to the psychiatrist.
Jeremyjahns I gotta disagree with the deaths particularly David Dunn. It shows just how powerful his belief in his weakness of water and how traumatic it is for him despite his extraordinary strength and visions he gets. His death was all the more saddening and powerful when he set up the ending to be a showdown between beast and Dunn at the giant new tower. I like it didn’t take the meta dc/marvel approach and the real point of the movie was glass showing the world the extraordinary feats of men and women and how super heroes and villains do in fact exist. Hopefully it just ends on this three movies and lets it be :)
I can see that until you remember David shattered the water tank to escape the Beast trying to drown him. I'm strong enough to break a tank but can't push up off the ground to escape a puddle? I dunno...
@@TwilightSunXXIV I don't think David shattered the tank.
Its not just that he died but how he died. If a protagonists died heroically then the audiences wont have a problem with it but when they die like a bitch. Its just leaves a sour taste. Thats how I felt.
@@Ravi-xf8dw He punched the side until it broke.
I don't know if it was intentional or not but I like the little nod to Marvel with the magazine cover of the tower and it saying "The real Marvel". I felt like it was saying this is what real Marvel superhero are like.
Robert Norman Yeah I got that vibe, as well.
Since they put so much emphasis on the set up of Kevin's dad dying, Joseph finding out his dad was on Eastrail 177, Mr. Glass reading it in his file, I think David should have read the file also and should have been the one to tell the Beast about Kevin's dad, not Joseph.
I believe what M Night Shyamalan Was trying to do with Anna Taylor Joy’s character is that she had developed Stockholm Syndrome where she unwittingly developed a connection with Kevin. Perhaps she even developed feelings for him. It was clear when Kevin abducted her, he ultimately saved her from her abusive uncle. She seemed genuinely sad when he died.
