@That one guy I pro democracy if it is true democracy if it helps people. But I am anti-government if it is self interests. I am Irish you should see our "government". Same the police respect them for doing their jobs not for unnecessary behaviour.
Seriously: in Mando S1 Episode 1, I thought "oh, he'll have to transport this thing, and this will be like a 3-5 episode story arc within this season." And it became the whole show... He was someone else before the kid for his whole life, a cold-blooded bounty hunter, and now he's basically not that at all anymore? He's slowly losing his character/personality.
@Fake Man spider … this is the strangest tale I’ve probably seen on this show so far lol. Not even mad just really confused about your perspective. It’s a totalitarian regime they’re battling, you see how little regard they have for the people, why would they chill out?
@Kyle Where? He likes a lot of beloved movies that come out, this entire video was him basically saying all these critically acclaimed movies and shows were good. YMS on the other hand...
Kenobi, Mando, even BoBF to some capacity, had some permanent dynamic with babysitting a smaller character. Andor really stepped up the game by having the main character abandon his adolescent sister right at the start 😎
@John Doh S2 felt like it was introducing the old characters to pilot new shows (Ahsoka for her own show, Boba Fett for BoBF, Bo Katan for Mando S3, and Luke in BoBf as well and potentially Ahsoka's show too) S3, on the other hand, actually feels like a standalone
@John Doh to be clear, I was joking. I still like Mando barring a few things, I just liked how Andor kinda broke that Disney formula out of coincidence
@LJK401 I think there's a balance that needs to be met. Hyperfocussing on the Skywalkers (and closely related parties) is extremely boring. There's so many interesting stories you can tell about the Jedi and the Clone Wars TV show touches on that.
It's the only piece of Disney era Star Wars media, anyway. I'm sure there's something out there since the buyout that doesn't mention Jedi, but you're right, all of the important stuff definitely shoves it in your face
@Sean MegaByte They give the Sith more depth in the EU at times but moreso examining WHY people fall to the Dark Side or challenging why people stay on the Light. The temptation to do evil or the difficulties doing good are what's interesting. Also learning more about the Force. You can't say SW should make the Force more mysterious when the original Trilogy was from the PoV of a Force user lol. Plus it's weird Disney gets this criticism when the old EU had this issue too.
@LJK401 Nonsense, the whole idea of "Sith vs Jedi philosophy" is so frequently depicted as being absurdly binary that it's laughable 90% of the time. The Sith are only ever depicted as selfish and power hungry for it's own sake, and the only time Jedi philosophy is interesting is when it's failure is interrogated, like in Clone Wars, Dooku's backstory in that new show, and TLJ, and "fans" apparently really hate when you do that. Andor could have had a Jedi in it, but it doesn't need one, it would be distracting fan service at best, and more likely would be actively detrimental to story being told. I think that Star Wars would be better off allowing order 66 to be an actually effective story impacting event and treating force users the same way that Game of Thrones uses magic wielders; mysterious, wise, dangerous, and incredibly rare. If every single story has to have some wizards fucking about in it they're not mystical, they're mundane.
My favorite part about Andor was the fact I was actually threatened by the Empire. They were actually scary with how quick and decisive they were in parts and I was glad to see a side of the Empire that wasn't an incompetent mess like they have been since... Since the beginning really. They unironically made stormtroopers terrifying and we finally got to see that "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise" in the finale when they started gunning people down and shot them even when friendlies were in the way without hitting them. It was all I wanted and going forward I hope the Empire gets treated like this more often and aren't a joke.
But he don’t need to cook he has already shown he knows how to make some good ass movies. Considering he made Avatar, Titanic, Terminator, Terminator 2 & Aliens before releasing Avatar 2.
@Poland Polandballowicz Polandballowski Movies like that are a plague to the movie industry. Filmmakers are not taking themselves seriously and in return we get ironic bullshit that doesn’t stick for more than 5 seconds. At least Avatar is sincere in its themes and doesn’t take an easy way out because making people feel things is bad apparently. Marvel is the absolute king of this, their movies are empty and hollow for a reason.
Trolls 3 and Boss Baby 3 will suck ass obviously, but i do expect Kung Fu Panda 4 to be incredible, seeing as it has the same director as Puss in Boots 2, as for the rumored How to Train your Dragon live action remake, fuck no, and i mean FUCK no
The Bad Guys absolutely surpassed all my expectations. Went in not excited, in fact my younger brother wanted to see it. Let’s just say I came out so damn pleased.
I mean...that’s what reviewers use to try to show some clips from the film that are relatively less copyright-sensitive than proper clips from the film itself.
RRR is literally one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen. Watched it faded in a group setting, we were all screaming like we were watching the Super Bowl
I totally get that, at some points I had to stand up because I was so hyped for everything that happened that I started to jump around and do poses and shit
Petition for more so-called "real" movies on Cosmonaut. I appreciate his thoughts on all kinds of films, not just the blockbusters and popular shows. I'd love to know his thoughts on Babylon haha. I'm conflicted, myself.
So happy Andor got a 10. It deserved it. It blindsided me in a way I didn’t expect. It was the show I least looked forward to of the upcoming Disney shows this last year, and then it turned out to be far and away the best.
@peachjedi it basically only takes the title and like 2 scenes. It changes pretty much every character, it gets rid of most of the segments of the book that cover daily life if soldiers, it adds a long sideplot about high command signing the armistice, and they massively change the ending
I loved RRR so much, as a guy whose not into random singing/dance sequences in movies, I enjoyed the ones in this movie. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet
I don't want that to become the standard for 3d animation though for a few reasons: 1. Insincere copycatting is cringe 2. As a gamer I like my 3d animation smooth usually 3. 3d can portray a wide arrange of styles and I wouldn't want all the big movies stuck in that style (Puss in Boots takes Spider-Verse's idea but whereas SV was trying to emulate comics Puss is trying to emulate old paintings and storybook illustrations, it's the best attempt at this style). 4. Seems people's appreciation of these movies is in part because of the elitism 2d animation fans have against 3d animation, so to them the only valid 3d animated movies are the ones that attempt to emulate 2d as much as possible. It feels like 3d animation needs to feel ashamed of being 3d animation to considered TRUE ART TM because of some Boomers. 5. By that token, I want more 3d animation that feels unabashedly, unashamedly 3d. People need to realize there's more art styles for 3d than the pseudo-realistic Pixar/Disney style and the hyper-stylized, 2d/3d Spider-Verse style. Arcane is a good example of a more unique look that doesn't try to draw upon whatever the big boys are doing.
The FableMans portion was wild. How has Marcus not seen Jurassic park or Raiders of the lost ark, and he took a date to Schindler's list? This new lore is insane
to be fair, he is a movie connoisseur in a way who probably took someone who also enjoys good movies to one of the best movies ever made that they havent seen to an actual cinema instead of watching it just on tv
@Gdadder It could be that his date picked it and he just went along with it. Regardless of who did though, yeah, not exactly a good date movie even if you aren't planning on making out.
Jack Horner was honestly the biggest surprise. I love how he just throws the modern rulebook out the window for a being a villain. He's just so evil for no reason that it's hilarious.
I watched RRR in two segments because I wanted to savor it more. It is amazing. There is nothing like it and never will be. I have never smiled so much at anything in my entire life
Spot on with RRR!!! I think it got shorted by its own country as it wasn’t put forth for best foreign film. I was purely entertained the whole time and wished I’d seen it at the movies. When actors become true entertainers!
Avatar 2 drinking game: take a shot every time you see someone reloading their gun. You may think i'm joking but unless you are Irish or Australian you'll probably pass out after 1 hour.
Thank you so much for getting me hit to RRR. My girlfriend and I just watched it and it was one of the most incredible movies I've ever seen, both in terms of action and heart. Simply phenomenal!
Andor is just beyond phenomenal for me. Literally one of my favourite shows I’ve ever watched! Also I am one of those people who have not seen the new Puss in Boots movie but I accidentally stumbled across a clip and now I want to see it SO BAD.
If there is going to be a cameo in Andor, it’s most likely going to be Bail Organa and teenage Leia. Considering they will be working alongside Mon Mothma during that time it wouldn’t be surprising if they appear, however I hope they execute it tastefully so that it doesn’t become distracting or disruptive.
I didn't hate the space ship scene in Andor, because it still served a purpose. It established just how meticulous, prepared, and careful Luther is. Sure, it had a action element to it, but there was also an emphasis on establishing the contingencies he had in place.
For the past 5 years or so I kept thinking to myself maybe im just growing out of liking cartoons, then I watched Puss In Boots Last Wish and I was blown away how good it was.
This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million Kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the Kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.
Can I just say how much I love seeing these stream videos? I just love watching you talk to an audience, it's very entertaining. More of these, please!
So I made myself some hot chocolate, got me a donut and sit to watch this cozy video. Loved it as always and I'm glad you like Avatar I really don't see why it gets so much hate, it was simple fun and sometimes that's all you want.
I was waiting for your comments on RRR, and I'm so happy you loved it, it definitely became one of my favorite movies of all times and I'm freaking obsessed with it!
hey marcus, saw RRR during its weeklong rerelease twice on your recommendation and my god you are correct on all points. Easily my favorite movie of 2022.
It's so funny to me that Andy Serkis has a much more compelling character and character arc as a support character in the Cassian Andor show than as the big bad guy of the sequel trilogy
@Adam Mr. Serkis gets around a lot given he still frequently does mocap for primarily CGI characters. If anything, then I am personally still getting used to him showing up in live-action movies as his human self.
Kylo was the villain of ep 7 and ep 8. Also why would Snoke need a character arc? Also, the fact that we know Snoke's name, but we call Andy Serkis' character in Andor just "Andy Serkis' character", tells me that his character in Andor isnt as memorable as Snoke, you guys are just deluding yourselves.😂
RRR was one of the first Bollywood movies that has wowed me from start to finish. Just genuinely enjoyable the whole way through and is basically an anime in real life.
Jack Horners is the most fitting 'hilarious pure evil' villain I can think of, exactly because of the themes of The Last Wish, which is all about appreciating what you have. He sees his incredible acquisitions as 'cool' and 'neat', treats them and his men as disposable toys. Valuable as tools and trophies, but also as discarded garbage that show just how wealthy he is. Like a bathtub full of champagne, going down the drain after use. The fact you throw it away is a symbol of status itself. He never appreciated anything and sees value in nothing and nobody. I also love how his bobbing head appears to not belong to its body, and how his speech itself is often unfitting in its delivery, like he's monologuing or narrating. And Jack fits perfectly with the other two antagonists. Goldilocks is sympathetic as she realizes she's had what she wants the whole time, and Death is the symbol of Puss' hubris, his utter disregard for the value of his life. Funnily enough, Puss would've likely ended up dead without Death pursuing him.
The one "cameo" I want in Andor is the Emperor. For one, I think it would be fun to see Palpatine doing Imperial bureaucracy the way Andor shows it, for another it would be funny if he like, showed up at Mon Mothma's party or some social function like that. This withered corpse man making small talk with a room of awed & terrified senators would be hilarious.
I disagree. I understand that people love Palpatine as this figurehead of the empire, but I think that works to the detriment of Andor's most interesting themes. One of Andor's strengths is the banality of the cruelty that exists in the Empire. It's not about the Evil Wizard Emperor destroying the galaxy, it's about all the everyday people who go right along and help him do it, because Palpatine's whole shit doesn't work if there isn't half a galaxy's worth of people willingly helping him. And they're not space wizards tripping over their own dicks on the path to world domination, they're just fascists who aligned themselves with a powerful leader, doing all the things they wanted to do only now with the structure of the empire behind it. Look at the two main empire agents in the show, the emperor's goals have nothing to do with what they individually want, it's just about their own ability to exert control. Examining the opportunistic nature of the people who exist in the structure below Palpatine is far more interesting than just returning to the thoroughly mined out vein of "Emperor does a cheesy evil speech and people love it despite it being completely one dimensional". I'll never understand how you can find it more interesting to hear the silly speech and see the people clap than to have the story examine WHY those people clap.
Hell, even just a Senate cameo of him talking shit to the senators would be amazing and you know Ian McDiarmid would relish it and chew strips off the scenery!
I think Andor impressed me for so many reasons but mostly, like I *know* Cassian has to survive the show to get to Rogue One, but he never feels safe once in the entire show.
@Captain Clutch nah bro the movie is literally a 2 hour teen drama with very noticeable plot holes. I can point out like 20 things wrong in the story, but I'm too lazy to write. I just didn't like it, 6/10 Edit: grammar
I dont know if I want to watch that movie again on my TV since the pull was the vfx and cinema experience, I was in awe for visuals all the time but storyline was , to put it lightly below average and action wasent entertaining, so I thin 8 was a bit too generous. I really loved the 1st part , world building, and actions , story were great.
@Rafa El it’s as good as any marvel trash bud marvel was pretty bad before this last phase people just forgot because infinity war and endgame like I said nothing special narratively but it’s not fucking overly played and loved like marvel if it had a shit ton of Stan’s I would probably feel differently about it but it was just a fun movie I could turn my brain off and watch and enjoy the environment and characters like I said you can get nit picky about a lot of dumb shit but they’re nitpicks about a random blockbuster
I feel like Andor had to be good. You have exciting shows for characters like Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, Ashoka, the Mandalorian S3 and then one for Cassian Andor. This has to be really good to keep up with the hype the other ones had.
I'm so glad to see you praising the Avatar movies! Like you said, it doesn't have to be complicated to be good. These are straightforward, but fucking good movies! They're some of my favorites and I love to see them getting some praise!
Be honest I think this should be a monthly thing on like stuff he wants to talk about and instead of making full videos I think it would be easier to just do this since not every piece of media can be made into full videos
Normally I'd grimace at the prospect of a video essayist I enjoy shifting to streaming because of the decline of quality in the content but he legit conveys his opinions on stream exactly the way he would if he pumped out a scripted video, it's uncanny. Definitely agree.
2022 turned out to be one of the best years for movies and tv in recent memory. We got so much good stuff that this is one of the first years that Marvel and Disneys's output has been almost completely forgotten.
3:45 I love how Marcus went from making fun of the Rise of Skywalker for how it used the word ghoul to now between this and the Transformers 3 reaction (re-uploaded on a different channel), he uses the word all the time
Andor was the first time I've willingly rewatched post original trilogy content just because it was so gripping. How it managed to be so complex without being messy is amazing by modern standards
Have yiu seen clone wars completely, if you have, id ask how long ago, since after rewatching the show and many episodes its far better then i remembered
I just finished my third watch and I'm considering a fourth one. Which is insane to me since I usually don't watch a show or movie twice let alone three times. This show just came out of nowhere setting a new standard for what Star Wars can be.
1 Andor cameo will be fine but it can only be 1 for half an episode where they help the rebellion. Because realistically the rebel network starts to unite at this time period so your gonna have characters naturally bump into each other. I think the most tasteful cameo would just be one of the Fulcrums (Ahsoka or even setter mutton chop guy from rebels) giving intel or a debrief and they never find out who they are and just leave it at that.
I do want Leia for season 2 of Andor now. She would naturally fit in with the double life angle, especially with Mon Mothma bringing Bail Organa into the fold.
Your thoughts on The Menu made me understand that people who didn't enjoy that movie thought they were watching a mystery or a thriller rather than the black comedy that it is.
Your experience with Jurassic Park is the same with me and the original Star Wars trilogy. I’ve seen all three movies in bits and pieces over the years.
@kdusel1991 honest review and please take it from me it’s good as a KIDS movie some of the violence is mild for kids and thus the battles are often mild other than that the animation is beautiful. The cinematography is rich the characters are fun and developed especially for a movie this small and has a beautiful premise along with banger music and much enjoyment even if u are an adult the humor and some conversations are much more adult having the gritty humor that adults will understand and enjoy although it really depends on your humor I found it very funny and although I am a teen I believe both mature and immature audiences for the most part will enjoy it. So yes I believe for the most and bet part go to the movies and see it or purchase it online, pirating is kinda of scummy and honestly it’s just one of those movies I believe deserves every dollar and so much more. I even watched the original and shrek 2 a few more times alongside my rewatches, if you still don’t believe me ask your freinds or fam who have seen it or look at reviews but tbh that’s not the best option. Other than that PLEASE WATCH IT ITS SO WORTH IT
I agree with you 98% of the time. Sometimes I think you're inside my head when you write reviews, even the more contarian ones....but your words about Anya are fighting words sir 🤣
*RRR* is my absolute favourite. I've watched it like 20 times now and its just as bombastic and fun every single time. Such a masterpiece. SS Rajamouli is an absolute craftsman. 👑
The only reason I haven't watched Puss in Boots yet is because I live in Sweden and they don't show most animated movies in English in theaters. It bothers me to no end. I will watch it as soon as it starts streaming or up for rent/purchase on iTunes.
The most amazing part about Andor is that there isn't a scenario or plotline where Cassian ends up having to protect a child
@That one guy as a general rule: anyone who uses the word “woke” unironically can’t be reasoned with
@That one guy The whole point of Star Wars is liberation😂
But wait, the droid and his sister in the flashbacks count (sorta)
@That one guy I pro democracy if it is true democracy if it helps people. But I am anti-government if it is self interests. I am Irish you should see our "government". Same the police respect them for doing their jobs not for unnecessary behaviour.
Seriously: in Mando S1 Episode 1, I thought "oh, he'll have to transport this thing, and this will be like a 3-5 episode story arc within this season." And it became the whole show...
He was someone else before the kid for his whole life, a cold-blooded bounty hunter, and now he's basically not that at all anymore? He's slowly losing his character/personality.
Andor really is a Star Wars story that says “when I die, put my ashes in a brick and throw it at a cop” but literally
@Team blue grow up
@Team blue working as intended
that sounds woke though
@Fake Man spider against fascism, relentless aggression and ruthlessness are always justified
@Fake Man spider … this is the strangest tale I’ve probably seen on this show so far lol. Not even mad just really confused about your perspective. It’s a totalitarian regime they’re battling, you see how little regard they have for the people, why would they chill out?
Marcus saying he’s not a big Spielberg fan, only to find out he’s seen half of his movies and likes them all is truly remarkable
I'd rather say that than claim to be a fan then "real fans" fight me over it
Yeah I barely know people who have seen half of his work they just seen his big blockbusters like Jurassic Park & Indian Jones.
@Kyle Where? He likes a lot of beloved movies that come out, this entire video was him basically saying all these critically acclaimed movies and shows were good. YMS on the other hand...
@Bucky Hurdle what you said and the original comment are not even slightly saying the same type of thing.
Marcus is a contrarian and I’m tired of pretending he’s not
Kenobi, Mando, even BoBF to some capacity, had some permanent dynamic with babysitting a smaller character. Andor really stepped up the game by having the main character abandon his adolescent sister right at the start 😎
@Mari Damn s3 so good but I cancelled my disney+ so looks like Im just gonna have to torrent it like a boss B)
@John Doh S2 felt like it was introducing the old characters to pilot new shows (Ahsoka for her own show, Boba Fett for BoBF, Bo Katan for Mando S3, and Luke in BoBf as well and potentially Ahsoka's show too)
S3, on the other hand, actually feels like a standalone
Mando s1 started it so it doesn’t count tho
@John Doh to be clear, I was joking. I still like Mando barring a few things, I just liked how Andor kinda broke that Disney formula out of coincidence
Andor is the only piece of Star Wars media that never once mentions the Jedi. And it works.
@LJK401 I think there's a balance that needs to be met. Hyperfocussing on the Skywalkers (and closely related parties) is extremely boring. There's so many interesting stories you can tell about the Jedi and the Clone Wars TV show touches on that.
@Ethan Berry Because nobody but uber nerds care about the rest
It's the only piece of Disney era Star Wars media, anyway. I'm sure there's something out there since the buyout that doesn't mention Jedi, but you're right, all of the important stuff definitely shoves it in your face

@LJK401 Over six million people would tell you it lasted too long.
@Sean MegaByte How long did that last though?
@Varden True
Marcus saying “Jimmy’s got a plan” is the equivalent to “Hold on, let him cook”
But he don’t need to cook he has already shown he knows how to make some good ass movies. Considering he made Avatar, Titanic, Terminator, Terminator 2 & Aliens before releasing Avatar 2.
@Poland Polandballowicz Polandballowski

@Daniel Arcilla he’s talking about tiktok trend

Avatar is mid
After The Bad Guys and Puss In Boots 2, the future of Dreamworks is bright and i will be watching everything they put out
@Sentient Mustache yeah a Live Action HTTYD is a reputation killer
Trolls 3 and Boss Baby 3 will suck ass obviously, but i do expect Kung Fu Panda 4 to be incredible, seeing as it has the same director as Puss in Boots 2, as for the rumored How to Train your Dragon live action remake, fuck no, and i mean FUCK no
@Areo31 i ussualy dont like everything oversaturated all the time like 90% of animated movies these days but this one found a sweetspot
Im a fan of this new style of animation they are trying
The Bad Guys absolutely surpassed all my expectations. Went in not excited, in fact my younger brother wanted to see it. Let’s just say I came out so damn pleased.
marcus: guys don’t watch trailers they kinda ruin stuff
also marcus: proceeds to show trailers for a bunch of stuff he wants you to watch
😊😊😊
Marcus: I don't really do "genres"
Also Marcus: so this is the best horror movie of the year for me
I mean...that’s what reviewers use to try to show some clips from the film that are relatively less copyright-sensitive than proper clips from the film itself.
RRR is literally one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen. Watched it faded in a group setting, we were all screaming like we were watching the Super Bowl
I totally get that, at some points I had to stand up because I was so hyped for everything that happened that I started to jump around and do poses and shit
as the american born son of telugu immigrants, it makes me happy that jr ntr and ram charan are getting way more love now.
I'm glad Marcus is pro Avatar and even more happy that he's pro Jake Sully. Let's get it done
The first one's alright. 2 is mid.
@Luis Sierra Your opinion is mid
@Luis Sierra skxawng
Jimmy’s got a plan.
@Luis Sierra Your mid
Petition for more so-called "real" movies on Cosmonaut. I appreciate his thoughts on all kinds of films, not just the blockbusters and popular shows. I'd love to know his thoughts on Babylon haha. I'm conflicted, myself.
Yeah
@LJK401 Yeah, it was nice to hear about a diverse set of films and shows.
Well he talked about quite a few here
Who’s ready for this 43 minute cosmonaut quickie
That's what she said
cosmonaut slowy
@Michael Christie congratulations you have won the Internet 😂😂 this was hilarious trophy is on the way no sarcasm
Cosmonaut Longie
Stahhpppp
So happy Andor got a 10. It deserved it. It blindsided me in a way I didn’t expect. It was the show I least looked forward to of the upcoming Disney shows this last year, and then it turned out to be far and away the best.
The way Marcus keeps saying "Jimmy has a plan" makes me think that he knows somthing that we don't
Didn't he say he knows people that worked on the sequels?
I’m disappointed how few people are talking about All Quiet on the Western Front. One of my favorite films of the year
@peachjedi it basically only takes the title and like 2 scenes. It changes pretty much every character, it gets rid of most of the segments of the book that cover daily life if soldiers, it adds a long sideplot about high command signing the armistice, and they massively change the ending
@Pearl is it more just following the vibe of the book and not adapting it directly? I didn't even know they made a movie.
@Pearl I’d say it’s quite a bit better than “fine”, but you’re entitled to your opinion.
As a standalone film it’s fine but as an adaptation it sucks
RRR was the best movie experience I’ve had since Mad Max Fury Road. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen
RRR getting praise from everyone makes me happy.
as the american born son of telugu immigrants, it makes me happy that jr ntr and ram charan are getting way more love now.
What Cosmo doesn't know is that Matt Smith actually IS a vampire. Clearly he hasn't seen the Oscar nominated best picture of 2022 Morbius.
Morb
🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious and Original!
we were robbed of Matt Smith's Oscar Best Supporting Actor nomination for Morbius. That dance scene was 111/10 gonna morb again.
Truly one of the movies of all time
Thanks for spreading the RRR love man, it deserves more attention. It's pure cinema in its most sincere chaotic form
as the american born son of telugu immigrants, it makes me happy that jr ntr and ram charan are getting way more love now.
When you said 9/10 for Andor I stared aggressively at the screen waiting for it to be a 10/10 and that's what happened, lol
I loved RRR so much, as a guy whose not into random singing/dance sequences in movies, I enjoyed the ones in this movie. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet
I NEED to see Puss. The spiderverse choppy animation just tickles something in my brain man.
I don't want that to become the standard for 3d animation though for a few reasons:
1. Insincere copycatting is cringe
2. As a gamer I like my 3d animation smooth usually
3. 3d can portray a wide arrange of styles and I wouldn't want all the big movies stuck in that style (Puss in Boots takes Spider-Verse's idea but whereas SV was trying to emulate comics Puss is trying to emulate old paintings and storybook illustrations, it's the best attempt at this style).
4. Seems people's appreciation of these movies is in part because of the elitism 2d animation fans have against 3d animation, so to them the only valid 3d animated movies are the ones that attempt to emulate 2d as much as possible. It feels like 3d animation needs to feel ashamed of being 3d animation to considered TRUE ART TM because of some Boomers.
5. By that token, I want more 3d animation that feels unabashedly, unashamedly 3d. People need to realize there's more art styles for 3d than the pseudo-realistic Pixar/Disney style and the hyper-stylized, 2d/3d Spider-Verse style. Arcane is a good example of a more unique look that doesn't try to draw upon whatever the big boys are doing.
i’ve only seen the first like 45 minutes of RRR and it is the single greatest thing ever put to screen
The FableMans portion was wild. How has Marcus not seen Jurassic park or Raiders of the lost ark, and he took a date to Schindler's list? This new lore is insane
@Gdadder why not? It's a goofy little movie
@Gdadder When people get sad, they are more likely to need a hug
to be fair, he is a movie connoisseur in a way who probably took someone who also enjoys good movies to one of the best movies ever made that they havent seen to an actual cinema instead of watching it just on tv
When we gettin the every Indiana Jones movie ranked and reviewed video lol.
@Gdadder It could be that his date picked it and he just went along with it. Regardless of who did though, yeah, not exactly a good date movie even if you aren't planning on making out.
Jack Horner was honestly the biggest surprise. I love how he just throws the modern rulebook out the window for a being a villain. He's just so evil for no reason that it's hilarious.
I watched RRR in two segments because I wanted to savor it more. It is amazing. There is nothing like it and never will be. I have never smiled so much at anything in my entire life
RRR is also conveniently split into 2 nearly equal parts! If you can watch 3 hours of anything, you can simply do the 1st and 2nd halves separately
So happy to see someone acknowledge how amazing RRR is
Spot on with RRR!!! I think it got shorted by its own country as it wasn’t put forth for best foreign film. I was purely entertained the whole time and wished I’d seen it at the movies. When actors become true entertainers!
The coolest moment in Avatar 2 is when Jake Sully says “Let’s get it done”. Nothing will ever top that for me
I love that line it's such a Sam Worthington thing to say 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite part of Avatar was when Jake activated his Avatar state and used all 4 elements to stop the Fire Lord Quaritch.
Love all the replies btw haha
Avatar 2 drinking game: take a shot every time you see someone reloading their gun.
You may think i'm joking but unless you are Irish or Australian you'll probably pass out after 1 hour.
I think Sam has grown as an actor. Or maybe he’s just matured as a person. He felt more believable this time around.
Thank you so much for getting me hit to RRR. My girlfriend and I just watched it and it was one of the most incredible movies I've ever seen, both in terms of action and heart. Simply phenomenal!
Thanks for watching and commenting text me I have something special for you 🎁
So so so so happy to see you loved RRR! It's in Hindi on Netflix, but if it's possible to watch it in its original Telugu I'd heartily recommend!
Telugu version is on Disney
Marcus has to bless us this year with a RRR picture show
I love how much Cosmonaut loves RRR
Andor is just beyond phenomenal for me. Literally one of my favourite shows I’ve ever watched!
Also I am one of those people who have not seen the new Puss in Boots movie but I accidentally stumbled across a clip and now I want to see it SO BAD.
Can’t help but chuckle at Jake Sully saying “We’re sea people now.” Best video game cutscene I’ve seen
If there is going to be a cameo in Andor, it’s most likely going to be Bail Organa and teenage Leia. Considering they will be working alongside Mon Mothma during that time it wouldn’t be surprising if they appear, however I hope they execute it tastefully so that it doesn’t become distracting or disruptive.
That or Galen Erso and Krennic
The Banshees of Inesherin was absolutely amazing, was so surprised and happy you actually watched it lmao
I didn't hate the space ship scene in Andor, because it still served a purpose. It established just how meticulous, prepared, and careful Luther is. Sure, it had a action element to it, but there was also an emphasis on establishing the contingencies he had in place.
For the past 5 years or so I kept thinking to myself maybe im just growing out of liking cartoons, then I watched Puss In Boots Last Wish and I was blown away how good it was.
I went in RRR VERY hyped. It still surpassed my expectations.
This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million Kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the Kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.
@Shockmesane power left the door 🚪 I have a problem I can ppppppp poo oo😊
The kangaroos navy simply does not have the logistical capacity to transport the army safely and keep them supplied.
@Julian Maria nah, but then they gotta fight Ghana as well bc of Suarez
Have you seen Singapore’s odds against the kangaroos
Me encanta q nos mencionen con semejante falopa
Can I just say how much I love seeing these stream videos? I just love watching you talk to an audience, it's very entertaining. More of these, please!
Stoked you shouted out Zack for barbarian. WKUK will always be one of my favorite shows ever
So I made myself some hot chocolate, got me a donut and sit to watch this cozy video. Loved it as always and I'm glad you like Avatar I really don't see why it gets so much hate, it was simple fun and sometimes that's all you want.
Marcus went from having to look up who Andor was for the huge movie review to giving his spinoff show a 9/10. Anyone is capable of change.
Thanks for watching and commenting text me I have something special for you 🎁
Just hearing Aquaman say "my man!" Every now and then just cracks me up
My man!!
My man!
My man!
Just got done watching RRR since you gave it a 10/10. I loved every second of it!
I was waiting for your comments on RRR, and I'm so happy you loved it, it definitely became one of my favorite movies of all times and I'm freaking obsessed with it!
Marcus is the type of guy to take a girl out on a date and go see Schindler's list
hey marcus, saw RRR during its weeklong rerelease twice on your recommendation and my god you are correct on all points. Easily my favorite movie of 2022.
RRR is so good. I seriously couldn't stop yelping with delight while watching it
It's so funny to me that Andy Serkis has a much more compelling character and character arc as a support character in the Cassian Andor show than as the big bad guy of the sequel trilogy
@Burke Hinton surprisingly Vader wasn't the main villian of the OT since he had an redemption arc lol
@Adam Mr. Serkis gets around a lot given he still frequently does mocap for primarily CGI characters. If anything, then I am personally still getting used to him showing up in live-action movies as his human self.
@Dante Kodor that's like saying vader wasn't the main villain of the OT dude c'mon
@Dani we all know his name is Kino Loy but we’re helping those who haven’t watched the show
Kylo was the villain of ep 7 and ep 8. Also why would Snoke need a character arc? Also, the fact that we know Snoke's name, but we call Andy Serkis' character in Andor just "Andy Serkis' character", tells me that his character in Andor isnt as memorable as Snoke, you guys are just deluding yourselves.😂
I saw RRR with my Free Company and we had such a blast watching it!
RRR was one of the first Bollywood movies that has wowed me from start to finish. Just genuinely enjoyable the whole way through and is basically an anime in real life.
Thanks for the appreciation brother. But it's not a Bollywood movie. It's a tollywood movie from the southern part of India
Can't expect a Time Lord to age at the same rate as humans
I am happy you loved Avatar 2, makes me feel much better when I give high marks to movies that def don’t deserve them. 😅❤
Thanks for watching and commenting text me I have something special for you 🎁🎉🎁
Tár is beautifully shot! A random scene where she’s driving into a garage had no business being as beautiful as it was.
These catch ups are so cozy. I really enjoy them.
@Andre Montoya I think it's actually from a Twitch stream, and edited down.
Me too
Same. I really dig em.
I think the almost stream of conciousness style helps as well
Right? They’re so wholesome.
I think you hit Glass Onion dead on. Is it a masterpiece? Not even close, but I had a ton of fun watching it and that's what it was trying to do.
Jack Horners is the most fitting 'hilarious pure evil' villain I can think of, exactly because of the themes of The Last Wish, which is all about appreciating what you have. He sees his incredible acquisitions as 'cool' and 'neat', treats them and his men as disposable toys. Valuable as tools and trophies, but also as discarded garbage that show just how wealthy he is. Like a bathtub full of champagne, going down the drain after use. The fact you throw it away is a symbol of status itself. He never appreciated anything and sees value in nothing and nobody. I also love how his bobbing head appears to not belong to its body, and how his speech itself is often unfitting in its delivery, like he's monologuing or narrating.
And Jack fits perfectly with the other two antagonists. Goldilocks is sympathetic as she realizes she's had what she wants the whole time, and Death is the symbol of Puss' hubris, his utter disregard for the value of his life. Funnily enough, Puss would've likely ended up dead without Death pursuing him.
Going to watch RRR, The Rehearsal, and Barbarian because of you!! ❤️ I usually agree with your takes so I'm excited for those 3
RRR is 🤌🏼
The rehearsal is transcendent. It’s nothing short of genius.
RRR is truly one of the movies of all time
Always leaving a like for an ending that wholesome
The one "cameo" I want in Andor is the Emperor. For one, I think it would be fun to see Palpatine doing Imperial bureaucracy the way Andor shows it, for another it would be funny if he like, showed up at Mon Mothma's party or some social function like that. This withered corpse man making small talk with a room of awed & terrified senators would be hilarious.
Bad batch did this this month with him having to turn up to a debate
GIVE THE PEOPLE SPICY SHEEV
I disagree. I understand that people love Palpatine as this figurehead of the empire, but I think that works to the detriment of Andor's most interesting themes. One of Andor's strengths is the banality of the cruelty that exists in the Empire. It's not about the Evil Wizard Emperor destroying the galaxy, it's about all the everyday people who go right along and help him do it, because Palpatine's whole shit doesn't work if there isn't half a galaxy's worth of people willingly helping him. And they're not space wizards tripping over their own dicks on the path to world domination, they're just fascists who aligned themselves with a powerful leader, doing all the things they wanted to do only now with the structure of the empire behind it. Look at the two main empire agents in the show, the emperor's goals have nothing to do with what they individually want, it's just about their own ability to exert control. Examining the opportunistic nature of the people who exist in the structure below Palpatine is far more interesting than just returning to the thoroughly mined out vein of "Emperor does a cheesy evil speech and people love it despite it being completely one dimensional". I'll never understand how you can find it more interesting to hear the silly speech and see the people clap than to have the story examine WHY those people clap.
Maybe him casually ordering a genocide over tea or something
Hell, even just a Senate cameo of him talking shit to the senators would be amazing and you know Ian McDiarmid would relish it and chew strips off the scenery!
Love seeing folks enjoying RRR
Warms my heart to hear that Marcus loved Puss in Boots.
Cosmonaut Marcus, I just wanted to say this video made me wanna watch movies again. I’ve just finished watching Tar and it was my kind of movie.
I think Andor impressed me for so many reasons but mostly, like I *know* Cassian has to survive the show to get to Rogue One, but he never feels safe once in the entire show.
I hope Disney look at how well received Andor was and gets Tony Gilroy and company back for similar stuff like this, even outside of Star Wars.
Cosmonaut giving Avatar the Way of Water an 8/10 makes me happy.
@Manas Mishra agree 100%
@Captain Clutch nah bro the movie is literally a 2 hour teen drama with very noticeable plot holes. I can point out like 20 things wrong in the story, but I'm too lazy to write. I just didn't like it, 6/10
Edit: grammar
I dont know if I want to watch that movie again on my TV since the pull was the vfx and cinema experience, I was in awe for visuals all the time but storyline was , to put it lightly below average and action wasent entertaining, so I thin 8 was a bit too generous. I really loved the 1st part , world building, and actions , story were great.
@Rafa El it’s as good as any marvel trash bud marvel was pretty bad before this last phase people just forgot because infinity war and endgame like I said nothing special narratively but it’s not fucking overly played and loved like marvel if it had a shit ton of Stan’s I would probably feel differently about it but it was just a fun movie I could turn my brain off and watch and enjoy the environment and characters like I said you can get nit picky about a lot of dumb shit but they’re nitpicks about a random blockbuster
I feel like Andor had to be good. You have exciting shows for characters like Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, Ashoka, the Mandalorian S3 and then one for Cassian Andor. This has to be really good to keep up with the hype the other ones had.
Fax
Puss in boots was awesome, it feels like a movie that was made by people who were excited and passionate about their creation
I'm so glad to see you praising the Avatar movies! Like you said, it doesn't have to be complicated to be good. These are straightforward, but fucking good movies! They're some of my favorites and I love to see them getting some praise!
I actually really enjoyed Avatar2 it could probably have done with a bit of editing but you sun it up well. It’s simple engaging interesting fun. 8/10
I'm so happy Marcus is appreciating AVATAR for what it is!
*Jimmy's got a plan and it might just be the greatest plan known to man*
Thanks for watching and commenting text me I have something special for you 🎁🎁
Be honest I think this should be a monthly thing on like stuff he wants to talk about and instead of making full videos I think it would be easier to just do this since not every piece of media can be made into full videos
Kinda like Karsten Runquist's "What I Watched in [insert month here]."
my man to lazy fo that
I think it should be about every 3 or so months like supereyepatchwolf or bhultra with “seasonal” videos
Normally I'd grimace at the prospect of a video essayist I enjoy shifting to streaming because of the decline of quality in the content but he legit conveys his opinions on stream exactly the way he would if he pumped out a scripted video, it's uncanny. Definitely agree.
I vote for this
if you haven’t, I would definitely recommend Everything Everywhere All at Once. It’s very…..your kind of comedy and your kinda of movie
2022 turned out to be one of the best years for movies and tv in recent memory. We got so much good stuff that this is one of the first years that Marvel and Disneys's output has been almost completely forgotten.
3:45
I love how Marcus went from making fun of the Rise of Skywalker for how it used the word ghoul to now between this and the Transformers 3 reaction (re-uploaded on a different channel), he uses the word all the time
i didn’t realize that Barbarian was directed by Zach from WKUK and that honestly explains why i enjoyed it so much.
The Grapist
In the Menu, whenever they showed the plates with the name of the dish, especially later, l actually laughed out loud.
Andor was the first time I've willingly rewatched post original trilogy content just because it was so gripping. How it managed to be so complex without being messy is amazing by modern standards
@Golden Age of Dinosaurs It's the best star wars show in a long time!
Have yiu seen clone wars completely, if you have, id ask how long ago, since after rewatching the show and many episodes its far better then i remembered
I just finished my third watch and I'm considering a fourth one. Which is insane to me since I usually don't watch a show or movie twice let alone three times. This show just came out of nowhere setting a new standard for what Star Wars can be.
@Emily B bro i like the prequels but they have a very fair point its messy asf
Yeah, I was blown away by Andor. Probably my favorite Star Wars since Empire Strikes Back.
1 Andor cameo will be fine but it can only be 1 for half an episode where they help the rebellion. Because realistically the rebel network starts to unite at this time period so your gonna have characters naturally bump into each other. I think the most tasteful cameo would just be one of the Fulcrums (Ahsoka or even setter mutton chop guy from rebels) giving intel or a debrief and they never find out who they are and just leave it at that.
Good to have you back - especially love the review of House of Dragons. Spot on with the Matt Smith non aging - I missed that
RRR is one of the best things to come out in the last decade
I do want Leia for season 2 of Andor now. She would naturally fit in with the double life angle, especially with Mon Mothma bringing Bail Organa into the fold.
Really enjoyed this format. I love super long videos too where I can just listen to you rant while I do some work or something
Andor finally did the thing where the story is good enough it doesn't need to have the framework of STAR WARS to prop it up.
Can't wait for Cosmo's review on this video and he suddenly finds out he was too generous with the scores all this time
Andor isn't just great star wars this is genuinely one of the best Sci-fi shows ever. It's so amazing
When Justin Long is measuring the space and finds the room and without missing a beat just starts measuring it. I died.
Your thoughts on The Menu made me understand that people who didn't enjoy that movie thought they were watching a mystery or a thriller rather than the black comedy that it is.
Your experience with Jurassic Park is the same with me and the original Star Wars trilogy. I’ve seen all three movies in bits and pieces over the years.
I can't get over how good Puss in boots was. I saw it twice!
@kdusel1991 honest review and please take it from me it’s good as a KIDS movie some of the violence is mild for kids and thus the battles are often mild other than that the animation is beautiful. The cinematography is rich the characters are fun and developed especially for a movie this small and has a beautiful premise along with banger music and much enjoyment even if u are an adult the humor and some conversations are much more adult having the gritty humor that adults will understand and enjoy although it really depends on your humor I found it very funny and although I am a teen I believe both mature and immature audiences for the most part will enjoy it. So yes I believe for the most and bet part go to the movies and see it or purchase it online, pirating is kinda of scummy and honestly it’s just one of those movies I believe deserves every dollar and so much more. I even watched the original and shrek 2 a few more times alongside my rewatches, if you still don’t believe me ask your freinds or fam who have seen it or look at reviews but tbh that’s not the best option. Other than that PLEASE WATCH IT ITS SO WORTH IT
mid ass movie
I’m gonna watch it for a 3rd time now
I've watched it 4 times now because I watched through the whole thing each time I showed it to a new friend lol
@kdusel1991 Please watch it. It's so good.
I agree with you 98% of the time. Sometimes I think you're inside my head when you write reviews, even the more contarian ones....but your words about Anya are fighting words sir 🤣
*RRR* is my absolute favourite. I've watched it like 20 times now and its just as bombastic and fun every single time. Such a masterpiece. SS Rajamouli is an absolute craftsman. 👑
Thanks for watching and commenting text me I have something special for you 🎉🎁
The only reason I haven't watched Puss in Boots yet is because I live in Sweden and they don't show most animated movies in English in theaters. It bothers me to no end. I will watch it as soon as it starts streaming or up for rent/purchase on iTunes.
I'm at the 1 hr 30 min mark of RRR...
And holy shit this movie slaps on another level
