Hey everyone welcome to the channel! Decided to make a new channel to focus on my tv and movie reactions. Currently have reactions for Avatar The Last Airbender (cartoon and live action, can be found on my original channel @EamonnReacts) and have begun The Legend of Korra and 3 Body Problem. Future shows/movies we will be checking out include Dune Part 2, Doctor Who, House Of The Dragon S2, Attack On Titan, and many more!
If you are interested in rugby/league/sports in general I also have a channel where I react to those things. Please consider checking out that and dropping a sub! www.youtube.com/@EamonnReacts
It's Guru Pathik who helped Aang. Guru Laghima's statements is important for Zaheer and particulary one for the character's development in this season. It's the calm before the storm: next episode will be wild!
Young Su Yin, in the flashback was voiced by the same actress that voiced Toph, and young Lin was voiced by the same actress that voiced Azula, I think.
Osha's saber changed color because she "bleed" it. It's a process of charging a kyber crystal with the dark side. The saber broke when Mae through it, so Osha's hand was touching the crystal while she was channeling her dark side killing Sol. That's how sabers turn red in current canon. We've seen it in Jedi: Survivor and in the Darth Vader comics. This is the first time in canon.
Gazan is a Lavabender/Earthbender. There's some new awesome skills to come. Funny you mentionned Azula because Ming Hwa is voiced by the same actress! Zaheer's girlfriend can't be Azula because she's too old: she has the same age as Katara(82-84), dude! Zaheer is around 50 max, he's younger than Tenzin. Azula's fate is in the comics if you're interested. The dragon is from the egg they discovered in the Sun Warriors' temple ruins in ATLA. Upload as you can, don't stress for it.
I'm first❤. Welcome back Eamonn. Season 3 is a masterpiece. There's a lot of first in this season. Zaheer is voiced by Henry Rollins if you know who he is: actor and singer. Unalak was the one who is pure evil in season 2! This season is connected with the final season. A movie with the old adult Gaang will be released in 2025 or 2026. Also, other movie projects like one on Zuko and another on the Legend of Korra are in the works too. The new Earth Avatar after Korra is soon to be released in the same year as the movie. Hope my infos are useful and enjoy the watching.
Gauthrik! Welcome back it had to be you that was first haha. Good info. So many projects coming out in the next few years that's amazing. Lots more to react to I guess then.
@@EamonnReactsTV more Avatar is never enough, my friend! We waited so much time after LOK's end to get good news. The Netflix live action is just to kill time before the real deal
Theatrical versions had hardcoded subs for the fictional languages. Maybe whatever service you were using just decided to use the versions where those are removed to avoid double subs in other countries or something? But a shame, cause Villeneuve movies tend to have super clean Futura font for hardcoded subs, which is nice (and what made me set my video player's subtitle font setting to use it as well lmao)
Incendies is one of Villeneuve's best movies, so since you liked everything else you've seen, would recommend. Just make sure you're mentally ready for something very heavy... you'll want to take a shower afterwards.
Definitely checkout the Tencent version it is pretty awesome. A lot different but if you like the Netflix one I think you'd enjoy the Tencent one as well.
So... Mae knows that Sol killed her mother, and knows what happened, and seeks revenge from all 4 jedi on that mission, or she had amnesia from the fall... and doesn't know why Qimir wants her to kill these guys... but then she also wants to join the Jedi and leave Qimir, but then when the opportunity comes to join the Jedi she fights them instead, and now she has enemies on both sides... and tries to convince Osha to be a witch again and leave the Jedi too... then she goes with Sol all the way to the ship to kill him in the cockpit, instead of just killing him in the woods when he was vulnerable on the floor. And Sol seems to "feel a connection" to Osha that he can sense, but he is completely fooled by Mae with a haircut... Otherwise he would have not left to the ship leaving Osha behind to die. And Aniseya was on the Jedi's side, but somehow decided to turn into evil black dust and move towards Sol in a menacing way... I am still confused...
I think for the second time we're not getting the full story of Brendok. We can reasonably assume that Qimir/The Stranger was there, too; we don't know how Mae escaped, we don't know how Qimir knows so much about Sol and what happened on Brendok (Mae probably could have told him her side of things, but he seems to know a lot more about Sol and the events than he should). To me, makes the most sense that Qimir was there for the vergence as well and he played a part in what went down in some way.
Oh great points. I completely forgot about Qimir in the context of Brendok. He definitely had to have been there. I'm a little confused on Qimir's age though. He seems to be like mid 30s to me which would make him pretty young at the time of the Brendok flashbacks. Maybe he's a bit older / ages slower.
Mandalorian steel is called Beskar. This guy was using something called Cortosis from the old EU books. It's a rare metal that has a high energy absorption. It can temporarily short-circuit light sabers, but is itself very brittle, which is why Jecki was able to break it. Pretty neat.
4:33 And THAT is how you introduce a villain!! Incidentally, Austin Butler, who plays Feyd-Rautha, spent 4 months in Budapest, Hungary, training with a former US Navy SEALto prepare for this movie.
The orangey lighting in that first Arrakis scene is a genuine solar eclipse! The film crew realised it was coming during their filming time, and planned around it.
@@EamonnReactsTV The entire show, and some of the questions you brought up on the plot. There is nothing deep in what happens in the show. It contradicts itself witin the same show, breaks it's own canon/rules, etc.
Good reaction i enjoyed it. 50:34 I do amateur astronomy and as far as I understand it that isn't possible. Frank Herbert wanted to write something fantastical in his book and invented the idea of a black sun that only gives off infrared light. That's the heat you feel radiating from a hot object. Human eyes can't see infrared light. So you wouldn't see anything with your naked eyes, if it was illuminated with infrared. Stars glow because of a fusion reaction in their core. Producing light from a wide variety of the spectrum, from radio waves to infrared light to visible light to x-rays. It is not possible for a star to just produce infrared light. Since the book was published in the '60s a object called a brown dwarf has been discovered. These are faild stars that are too small to produce a sustained fusion reaction. They do radiate infrared light but it is a small amount. Certainly not enough to warm a planet orbiting it. And again even if it did you wouldn't see anything where you to stand on a planet orbiting a brown dwarf any more than you can see by the infrared light admitted by a boili hot object. This idea is entirely fictional but works to symbolically show the evil black and white nature of the Harconan people.
11:39 about 10,000 years before the movie talks place there was a robot uprising and all thinking machines were banned. There are no computers. What they're doing there is using humans in place of computers to drive an analog display. Without computers space guild navigators have to use spice to see how to fold space and allow interstellar travel.
saul was chosen because of that conversation, but more important, it was the joke that made him the chosen one. the meaning behind that joke is the whole key to defeat the san-ti.
32:50 so yeah the Sardaukar are the emperor's elite soldiers. They and the emperor are from House Corrino. You also have House Ecaz, House Vernius and a lot more
Regarding seeing Paul as a hero or not, It's important to remember Chani. Throughout, she has been the rational voice of reason against the machinations and scheming of the Bene Gesserit (by design from Denis Villeneuve). Yes, we want Paul to beat the Harkonnens, get revenge for his father, lead the fremen out of oppression etc. But don't forget that from the very beginning, Paul admits to his mom that he's out for revenge, plans to sway the fremen to his side, and use them to get close to the Emperor. Chani (as should we) sees it for what it is, an outside force, a foreigner , manipulating and 'using' the Fremen for their own power games. And dont forget Paul is an engineered super-warrior of sorts himself, totally as planned (kinda, as Jessica sort of jumped the gun by having a boy but he's here now so what's done is done :P ). If you want to just see Paul as a hero, you're ignoring the fact that he's used fabricated religious patterns centuries in the making to subjugate the planet's native population, in order to fight his war and make a bid for the throne of the universe. That isn't a real hero, that's an opportunistic noble taking advantage of an otherwise shitty situation, and abusing the trust and faith of his new followers. Paul in the first half of this movie is trying his hardest to resist the path that has been engineered for him, but due to many many outside forces and events, eventually gives in and embraces the role the bene gesserit have engineered for him. After that he's no longer the good-intentioned resistance leader honouring his father's wishes and becoming one with the Fremen. After that, he's another 'harkonnen'. "This is how we will survive, by being harkonnens." He's a lost cause at that point and Chani sees it. We as the audience should be seeing it too if we aren't completely missing the warnings littered throughout the movie (like paul's visions of a nightmare future, etc). Remember his conversation with Gurney "because you lose control?" no, ... "because i gain it." His take over of the imperium spells the doom of billions, not to mention the uncountable Fremen who will fanatically die for him in battle after battle. All of this death and destruction because of a fabricated prophecy, a bene gesserit plan, to produce a super-psychic who they wish to control. Paul isn't a hero outside of the fremen fanatics that drank the coolaid, he's a warning of what horrible things can happen when you allow a charismatic figure to take control and lead a people unquestioningly into a 'holy war'. And one last point worth mentioning, there's no fixed guarantee that what paul sees as the best way forward IS the best way. It might be the best for his family's immediate survival, but what alot of people take for granted watching Dune, is assuming that because Paul has powers of foresight, that what he sees is the one true way forward, when it can be just as likely that Paul's own biases, desires and prejudice could be learing him to see some paths as better than others, meanwhile billions of innocent people will suffer for it. 👍 Don't worry about being expressive, we can see you react to events just with body language. No need to scream and shout at every scene like some reactors do :P haha. Getting to hear your thoughts on it is the real value in these videos.
Amazing reply. Definitely am understanding it a bit more. I think some preconceived notions/beliefs I had about the story sort of led me away from thinking about what Paul was ultimately doing/becoming. I was sort of under the impression that what happened was inevitable and needed to be done or else the Fremen would become extinct. It's clearly a lot more nuanced than that though.
@@EamonnReactsTV It was a bit wordy, but if i have one flaw it's being willing to talk about something i like endlessly 😆... But yeah, i don't begrudge anyone for not entirely getting the "alarm bells, this is bad" vibe with Paul at first, as good as Denis V's movies are, there's still that possibility that a viewer may take Paul at face value. We all have to remember that even Frank Herbert, dissappointed at how so many people read his book and assumed Paul was the hero, went and wrote the sequel Dune:Messiah SPECIFICALLY to hammer home the message of Paul being a dangerous false messiah. And just as a movie fan too, there's LOTS to enjoy in these two movies without even thinking about the deeper themes of the plot. Dune 2 kicks ass purely on visuals and audio alone! 😎
So thoroughly and nicely put. Especially the last paragraph, which is a point I tried to make to others commentators who said "he did not have a choice blablabla, that is destiny" Well we only know that because that is what he tells us. What if he is lying ? The water of life changed him like it changed his mother (who is not his mother anymore, she is the bene gesserit more than his mother). The Fremen, with him in the last battle against the Emperor, are burning the bodies, not recycling waters, are leaving Dune to fight a war, he is not destroying spice with the nukes, which could bring the green paradise as Dr Liet Kynes said in the 1st movie. He chose to go to the Holy War Path. Chani said : you promised me you did not want power. Well, I think he did. Not so heroic. It is hard because we love Paul, we saw him grow. But does not mean he is a good man.
This was a fun one to watch. BUt what's up with the whack-job subtitles spoiling dialogue seconds before they even speak them? Hope that wasn't distracting at all for you. 😄
Honestly I generally try not to read the subtitles at all while watching. I mainly put them up as I find I can edit easier with them there. But yeah they were completely out of sync. Really annoyed me while editing but didn't notice them too much during the viewing.
@@EamonnReactsTV That's good. Ive seen some subtitles that seem to get the fremen translations wrong as well, which confuses me as i thought the fremen subtitles were hard-baked into the original film???..... so at least you didn't have that happening haha.
Without spoiling anything, the message of Dune will become a lot clearer (particularly if you haven't read the books) in Dune Messiah (aka Part Three). It's worth remembering the early scene in the film where he tells Jessica he believes in revenge and plots to manipulate the Fremen in to believing in him so as to aid him in getting to the Baron. Next, there's the scene between Paul and Chani where he tells her if he goes south he'll lose her, which is the key driving force between why he subsequently does what he does. And then of course there's the war council, whereby he uses his newly acquired gifts plus his knowledge of Fremen culture to manipulate them in to believing he is the Lisan al-Gaib. It's very much about the often-stated danger of blindly following a charismatic leader, and the toxicity of religious fundamentalism. I highly recommend you read the books. It'll only add to your appreciation of what an absolute magician Denis Villeneuve is to take such a dense book and adapt it as well as he did across two films; notably with how he took Paul's inner monologues and concerns about the choices he was making in relation to humanity's future, and transposing them on to the woman he loves as a means of helping non-book readers understand the message that Frank Herbert was conveying.
Chani is the lifeline for us through the movie. Imagining if she wasn't there and just watching Paul descend into darkness as a character alone would have been really tough, and kinda depressing. She kept a spark of sanity and hope going through it . Really good adaptation by Denis V' 👍
Thank you. Yeah I think I sort of just ignored/blindly followed along with Paul and wasn't really thinking too deeply into what was happening in that regard. I may have just assumed what Paul was doing was the only correct way forward? I'm not sure. Anyways yes I need to check out the books.
Good reaction and editing...I have one criticism regarding the darkness that appeared during the fremen battle with Rabban and the harkonnens in dessert dust.
Hi. Ive watched a lot of reaction of this movies. And wanted to let you know that i really liked your edithing. You did it right for a 'newbie'. Keep Up the good work.
Yeah it was very tight editing. No sudden jumps from one part to another, some reactions can feel like they were hit with a hacksaw before being uploaded :P
Thank you! Definitely not as pretty as a lot of the reactors I watch but it gets the job done. May need to be a bit more tight with it going forward though as I definitely went a bit long for youtube standards (reason I had to upload this in two parts).
@@Musabre Yeah I always hate when some of the smaller awesome parts of stuff get edited out. I try to keep as much as possible but obviously there are times where you gotta cut down.
Lisan al Gaib and Kwisatz Haderach are not the same things. Lisan al Gaib is the prophecy that the Bene Gesserit planted on Arrakis for self-defense in case some one of their order was marroned there and needed protections. The Kwisatz Haderach is the man that the BC say can use "past ancestor memory" to rule the universe under their control.
Re: Paul seeing beyond his own death, in the books it directly states that he CAN and DOES. By the time the end happens, and he beats Feyd and takes the throne, he sees that even if he died in the fight, the fremen would rage out across the universe without him- they would say that he died to make their conquests possible. He'd be a legendary martyr. So basically, he was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't. By the time he reached that point, the Holy War (the book actually uses the present-day-politically-loaded term "jihad") was guaranteed no matter what he did or didn't do. The only way to avoid it, basically, was to let his enemies win outright and destroy him and everybody he cared about. Setting himself on the path of revenge in the first place set it up to happen No Matter What.
Alia became a Reverend Mother at the same time Jessica did. So yes. Reverend Mothers have all other Reverend Mothers within their psyche. So, Alia is communicating with Jessica before she is born. Is how Denis decided to handle Alia in the movie. Hard to cast an infant with all the abilities of a Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother. Thanks for the reaction. Can't wait for part 2.
Alia's "awakening" is probably one of the most brutal kind of abuse that could be inflicted on an infant. Just think about the fact that she is a human being that can never experience the innocence of childhood, being turned into an adult (with centuries-worth of other people painful memories on top) while still in her mother's womb. I always found that event scary and horrific, even in the book.
I'll be starting up S3 of Korra 'soon'. I was planning to get to it right away but there are so many new shows I want to check out right now so I'm going to try to catch up on them before Korra. I'd say 2 weeks and then we'll be back to Korra.
Very cool to see you watch this with fresh eyes. The conversation around this show is CRAZY right now. Please stay away from any social media about it so that you can give us an unbiased viewpoint. During the High Republic era, Jedi wore brown cloaks for fieldwork and the white and gold cloaks for ceremony. Anyway, great reaction again. Peace.
I'm pretty active on socials so I have definitely seen a lot of stuff. No spoilers just like the review bombing stuff and all that. Definitely will try to keep away from it going forward though. Thanks for the info about the cloaks!
Paul sees possible futures and the past (genetic blood lines), yes ! that's the power of a candidate Kiwsatz Haderach, BUT the future is not determined, it is hard to understand sometimes, but he can choose a path and he can be wrong !
I think this adaptation is taking things differently on purpose with Chani. DOn't assume that part 3 will be note for note the same as the book either as a result!
Some important parts of the books are not in these movies and/or hab been modified. The book is much more complex. Yes ! Dune is crazy, but the entire story of the Dune saga is crazier than you could ever tried to imagine...total 22 books at present.
Nice reaction ! the movie must be watch very carefully, there are a lot of informations and if you do not know the books, this can be difficult to understand
