Ned didn’t Cat about Jon’s parentage because he barely knew her when they got married. She was originally engaged to his brother and they met for the first time at their wedding, had sex their wedding night (which resulted in Robb), and Ned went to war the next morning. And Cat tended to share a lot with her sister (who lived in Kings Landing with her husband who was hand of the king). If Cat even hinted to her sister about Jon’s real parents it would have been big trouble.
Okay. The mortal instruments series is brilliant. They do a pretty good adaptation of the books while keeping it entertaining. The fact some people review stuff for a living and cant get past the first few episodes says a lot and not good stuff Percy jackson wasnt as bad as people make out also (hot take)
okay for someone who only read the percy jackson books long after the films were released I actually really loved the movie and didnt know it was considered a flop 😵💫
I really disagree with your statement that just because he saved the life of his (adopted) daughter makes him a bad person. I don't think that you are a father yet. So what that Ellie thinks that she doesnt have a purpose in life? Every child thinks that he/she needs to have a purpose in life. You even mention that she does have a purpose in life, which is just to live. A father needs to protect his daughter, which also means that he needs to protect her from making bad choices. She is just a child. A child cannot think that she needs to be sacrificed for 'the greater good'. Let her grow up and then give her the choice what she wants to do with her life.
This movie sucks for one big reason. If you could relive the day over and over, why wouldn't you immediately start working towards more soldiers having the ability to do the same. It's the first thing I thought of... The instant thought process is tactical advantage. They get an edge but don't exploit the crap out of it? Instead they die hundreds or thousands of times to go on a crusade? It's ret@rded. Great idea that failed to deliver...
sorry Golden Compass/His Dark Materials, but the majority of the population isn't interested in a story by a neckbeard-fedora that exists exclusively as a temper tantrum about people liking Narnia.
i remember when the golden compass was being made it was pushed heavily by the BBC, they kept talking about a single scene being filmed and got a few of their CBBC (childrens bbc) presenters to be a part of that scene, it was a huge parade scene and i think it was filmed outside a BBC office so thats why they covered it so heavily and where allowed to be a part of the crowds... the scene never made it into the final cut
Obviously while severance is the main plot of the show, you need to remember how they explicitly say; The Severed Floor, hinting that not everyone at lumon is severed.
Having wread the books that had come out by the time Eragon the movie came out i was exceedingly disappointed as they wrecked the storyline in the movie X-D
13:40 Shadowhunters tv shows end in the same place that books ends. Although show is far shorter overall then the books. But its a complete story. Also you forget about Vampire academy - horrible movie based on actually good series of books (i thing there is a tv shows although I did't watch it yet).
Yesss watching this series as an adult really hooked me. I already liked Scream 1 because of my original experience watching it, but the whole series is cohesive and fun and smart and I am excited for this breakdown!
8:50 always remembered seeing the Inkheart series in school libraries, I never bothered to check them out or read them. I didn't know they made a movie with Brendan Fraser with it.
You also don't mention another insane difficulty in these fantasy franchises... child actors. I don't know how HP was able to get kids who stayed with the series all 10 years. It is so insanely hard to get kids who are good enough actors already and who embody the character and then have them naturally grow up while still playing that character who is also growing up. This is why the Percy Jackson series looks so darn promising. They hired actual children.
I totally support the theory of the children are immune/are the key to the cure. With the storyline’s of PADRE, Daryl and Laurent trying to escape France and Hershel Jr being captured on Dead City. There is a huge opportunity here for the writers to take this sort of direction.
Sadly, fantasy series don't have a very good track record of longevity either. But that's the opinion of a sad Shadow and Bone fan. (Btw, another Alita movie is in the works with James Cameron involved)
Duane Jones, is a nod to the original Ben in the 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead. The image on the bottle is of the actor... not Morgan's son, although Morgan's son was also an homage to Duane who was one of the first African American actors to lead a widely recognized film, and his death created a ton of controversy.
