Everything Wrong With Divergent In 16 Minutes Or Less 

CinemaSins are you going to do venom

CinemaSins I MADE IT

ARE YOU PROUD OF ME

coplete the trilogy first please

Can you do everything wrong with RU-vid rewind pleeeeeaaaaaseeee

Nadia Rizvan That’s so true

Strangely they kinda touch in this in the books. Tris has nightmares of slightly similar to this.

I'm rereading Divergent and that thought crossed my mind too

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@JAMS Dream I was about to comment this; I reread parts of the book this morning. It didn’t dawn on me until this comment that Tris has this huge fear of getting found out as a Divergent, and yet it’s never addressed. Bit of a plot hole, but I don’t know how I would’ve addressed it as an author.

My friend said the same but for Allegiant she said pledge of allegiance

🤣

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I can't stop laughing

Explain why I’m peeing myself laughing 😆 😂

That is amazing

@@owen1994 exactly!

@@owen1994 you're right, but the point of a good film is that people don't have to read the books to understand or follow it.

Yeah, but its still a stupid premise, as it should render near every character utterly boring.

You forgot that if that’s true…well, then shouldn’t every character be divergent?

@@ieatplaster9884 no, the people were genetically engineered to only have 1 of the traits.

I know right, adults are too old to understand what their 16 years old phase was. They want to cater to the masses, thats its okay for 16 year olds to experience this. Ill only understand making characters these if they really need them, like end of the world and there isn't enough of them around.

I am a sixteen-year-old, and I agree - my dream job changes every 3 month or so, like I actually understand I want to do it more than anything, and then... it just changes. Also I wouldn't be in Dauntless - I would much rather go in Erudite. My complaint is that only Dauntless fraction there seems to have a tattoo and piercing studio - like come on, I want it too! :D

Maybe bc the study is far different from the story. Its fiction for a reason

No, 16-year-olds are gonna be like: "You know what, I think I hate lying. Telling the truth is my thang. Also Candor sounds way more fun." /s

I feel like it make more sense for them all to start in dauntless then chose what they want later in life

For Whom The Taco Bell Tolls that was the best moment

Renesmee Cullen-Black agreed, whenever I get to that part I think to myself “Yes! Kill her! Kill her!”

And when four takes her to his room after Drew, Peter and Al try to kill her

Just Sargam hold up... they cut that?!

For Whom The Taco Bell Tolls omg same!!

omg never realized this 😂

The test tells you the faction you would *best* fit in. You can choose whichever you want.

its worse than gacha logic, now its just detergent logic

@@juno2871 Which honestly defies the very logic of the book, especially considering how bad Divergents are supposed to be.

@@Mandy-nv1tx I looked up "Gacha." It literally means those machines where you put a coin in a slot, turn a handle and an egg rolls out containing a mystery prize. These are collectable, so it can mean "collectable" or "figurine." About computer games, it means ones where you pay real money for virtual collectables or gambling. I've played the game "Gacha Memories" which is completely free. In this game, someone called Luni sends you and others on missions, so I guess the you've been gachad (collected) (added to a collection) (or turned into an action- figure) not sure what "gacha logic" is.

Same.

I have an unhealthy obsession with divergent series i actually really liked the movies and i’m certainly reading the series

@@sawanna508 yeah well everyone knows women dont know comedy, so that doesn't matter

I pray they didn’t say you lying whore

yeesss i was thinking that too, its like uhhhh...

I forgot that’s actually canon in the movie.

I know. For some reason a lot of movie adaptations of books make their characters a WHOLE lot older. For example, Jonas from the Giver is supposed to be 12 (its the ceremony of 12) but, in the movie he's 18 and the ceremony is called the ceremony of 18. I understand it because it'd be a little weird to have a 12 year old be the main character of the movie, but still.

@@izzypaige07 bruh in percy jackson it went from 13 to fucking 17. i hate movie adaptation they get nothing righttt

@@xhsvnti5076 the movie should be able to address such details on its own without requiring viewers to have read the book

@@sukhkaransingh8369 well if u knew more about the series (books and/or movies), you would know thag the movies (mainly the second and third) are spinoffs of the book. The storyline is not the same.

Because the divergents have too much control on their selves, as a person. The factions were meant to control the population. Having multiple factions inside yourself throws the control out the window. Can't control a variable.

U need to read the books. It makes a lot of sense in the end.

@@danielleking262 Tbh I actually liked how she showed a soft spot for Tris, they could've become friends if developed properly in the future (i'm a movie only, idk about the books)

Actually, that's a bit of a major plot point which I'll try to explain below, just note it's huge spoiler for the series. . . . . . . . . Honestly, I don't remember a whole lot, but iirc long before the events of the books, humanity has become super terrible. Basically like Sodom and Gomorrah mixed in with some Nazi Germany levels of terrible. And so to combat this, the government basically brainwashed everyone to just exhibit only one personality trait with the hope that when people only have one personality trait, they'll be less murder-y, and eventually, they'll be able to start learning other personality traits and become functioning and normal humans again. Don't ask me why that's the best option they came up with, I don't remember, but that's the rundown at least.

AJ Tomeček don't worry about spoiling it haha, I've read all three books and watched the movies and I just forgot some of this 😂 also thanks!

AJ Tomeček oh that explains a lot. I forgot about some stuff from the book so that really helps thank you!!

When he said, “They’re human right?” They are, the have been genetically modified to only have those specific attributes. You would know this if you read the books

Natalya Guiden yeah I did read the books except I read them a long time ago

We got 6 mins to get up, get dressed, shaved, brushed teeth, and downstairs in uniform. All of which takes longer with 50 people at once sharing spaces. 6 minutes to shower, 6 minutes to eat once sat down in the chow hall. 2 minutes is, as you say, plenty.

I like your comment but you have 420 likes so….

finally some ppl with sense in the comments 😭. like i do agree w/ some points in the video but instead of calling out important scenes that they cut or didn’t do as well, this guy just nitpicks at every little things including things that actually made sense 💀

Yes, because Tris has no survival instinct. Well-put.

well you see, this is pointless. He's rating/reviewing the movie. And the movie did NOT explain or tell us that at all or in any way. Which is exactly why he's "sinning" it

@@fernandarivas9677 they do explain it though in the movies, just later in the trilogy

@@fernandarivas9677 The thing is, it's the trilogy. The first movie/book is just a set up of the world, and the whole story unravels in subsequent movies/books. So here we just have to accept the rules of the fictional world and go with it. Basically we learn all that along with characters, who just leave in this world of factions and believe that is what's supposed to be. Sorry for stating the obvious, but that's the thing with any fictional world, it can have any rules different from real world, and that's what makes all these stories interesting ))))

YES! Honestly I enjoyed this comment more than i should've

Sometimes a movie version is as good or better than the books and Harry Potter was one of them, and the Lord of the Rings was another. Sometimes you can’t compare books to movies. But this...garbage...man does this movie suck...

"Harry Potter movies followed the books better" That's a low bar. Is it a hurdle or a limbo stick?

i remember that one from one of the books, but how do you fail the personal questions test? and i wonder what kind of tests the other two functions would have, especially tris' parents'

I remember that. Was hat from Insurgent or which one? Also they would ask questions like “Did you receive outside help throughout the challenges?” And stuff like that to see if you’ve cheated.

Wouldn't giving them truth serum make it easier for them to tell the truth?

EMMIE Maybe you give them truth serum and ask them if they tell lies. Quick test!

nah the thing was if your greatest secret was out, then there would be no point in lying about anything. at least that's what the books say. an extremely problematic test, imo but whatever

THIS. It’s so bad but still my favorite movie ever because it introduced me to the books. There’s a lot of flaws but I still love it.

This may not be a movie but the mortal instruments series strays SOOO far from the book that it feels like they aren’t even related.

Listen, I’m not saying you’re wrong, but have you read/seen Percy Jackson 😂

Natalie Outlaw clearly he hasn’t😂😂

Umm to be honest it’s not even that bad, watch the Percy Jackson movie

James Bond would like a word with you

If I remember correctly, these people actually do typically only display one trait. Humanity like...broke itself through extensive modification or some such bs

@@waldrcla000 Traits naturally crossover. The dauntless would also have to be intelligent to pull off their stunts; if you're brave but stupid you won't last long. And the abnegates have to have a degree of courage in order to be leaders, as do the intellectuals. It stands to reason that the selfless abnegates would also value truthfulness as honesty is related to morality, and the supposedly 'factionless' would have to have a degree of bravery and intellect just to survive when they are cast out and allotted almost no resources. And why aren't there at least 10 factions? What about funny people, creative people, what about the principles of justice and fairness, utilitarian pragmatists, sensualists and aesthetes? Those people have a role in society too.

@@moonlily1 Hey, I never said the explanation made sense. That was just the explanation they pulled out of their butts in the third book. Also, the Abnegation folks definitely weren't truthful, given that they had the information about the purpose of their city and kept it to themselves. Still, that's the explanation. They're trying to fix humanity by making divergents or something. But they also didn't bother telling the city that divergents are a good thing for no good reason. It's not a good explanation by any means, but it's unfortunately the canon explanation. Edit: Holy crap, I said explanation a lot.

@@waldrcla000 Well, that's the whole point of my comment: that the film and the books are weak in that the entire premise makes no sense, nothing else following it is going to either because the whole idea is logically indefensible.

@@moonlily1 The way the books covered this was much better, and the movie left it out entirely, but the whole thing goes like this: In an effort to make humanity better, people began to genetically modify itself in a effort to force certain specific personality traits. There were 5 different "ideas" as to which trait was most beneficial in this way so each one went into production. This, of course, caused horrible problems and the world basically killed itself off. Now the few remaining non-genetically modified people who still run the world have created city-wide experiments to see if the genetic damage can be reversed. Chicago is one of those experiments. The goal of these experiments is to reverse the genetic modifications and produce "normal" people. In these cities, "normal" people are the ones that are labeled as "divergent," because they show propensities to more than one of the traits focused on in the original genetic experiments. So, essentially, Tris isn't special, she's just a normal person and it's everyone else that's fucked up. Now, it has been a few years since I read this book series so I may have missed a key point or two, but that's the general idea. Also, no...it's not a particularly good theory to base things on, but hey...science *fiction* . Also, the books had a super obvious religious leaning, and in the end, Tris was a Jesus allegory who died to save humanity. It was kinda bullshit, really lol.

The maze runner (books & movies) are okay(ish)(same for the Divergent books/movies/series), but they BOTH have RETAIRDO premises. The maze runners' premise is WAY worse though, as is their "solution" to it. They even both delight in killing off MAIN characters. For me, that's NEVER forgivable.

"Some" of them? HA HA HA😆😆😆😆😆!!!!! Thanks for the joke! Seriously, people CLAIM that these books/movies/series rip off other books/movies/series (like I care), but the DICK-LESS faction (they dishonor the concept of dauntlessness) might as well be a ripoff of "Fight club", because that's literally the ONLY thing that they DO! They should all have killed each other (& other people) long before they were ever old enough to JOIN the DICK-LESS faction.

Hunger Games > Divergent

And even then, book isn't that good

Literally anything > Hunger games and divergent Boy am I glad the whole “special young adult starts rebellion in post-apocalyptic world and also finds love because why not” young adult series bullshit finally died out. I got sick of the Hunger-vergent Runner movies. Maybe everyone finally realized they’re all just badly made cookie cutter bullshit made to pander to young adults and get money.

Always.

The Divergent book series is utter trash, completely nonsensical, and each new "twist" undoes anything of value that came before it. But yeah, they are better than the movies.

@@berengustav7714 I get that one a lot too

Yeah but someone watching the movie shouldn't have to read the books to understand that. The movie needs to stand on its own. The directing/dialogue should have communicated it more clearly to the audience.

I understood it just fine watching the movie and never read the books. You can tell he hints to her MANY TIMES that he can tell something is different about her and that's why he tries to help her. He slowly keeps pushing her to tell him, but of course she can't.

Yyeess like the last movie doesn't even make any sense

She didn't forget about Will. He is mentioned multiple times in the other two books. Actually, he was mentioned *tons* more in Insurgent than he was in Allegiant. Still.

I agree she can’t forget will as hard as she tries

yeah because they are very different relationships plus tris most certainly does not forget about it, she had trouble holding a gun and there's a lot more evidence

Half of the Insurgent book is Tris dealing with the fact that she killed him. She forget in a short time period because hundreds of people were dying. Once the chaos died down she was hit with everything. That’s how trauma works💀

In the books they show that they actually do train the girls to strike low and use their speed

That's from The Hunger Games between Peeta and Katniss, since they keep comparing this movie to that one. 🙂

This one made me laugh

GeographyDawg Playz what about Will

What about Will, or Al, or Uriah, or Marlene, or Lynn, or Peter’s consciousness, you know, the other characters that weren’t Tris that still died.

also don't be involved with the main characters like don't even talk to them

@@thepickygamer4450 even if they did, they dont really explain much and are super cliché.

Yeah the movie has to stand on it's own, you shouldn't have to read the books to enjoy it. If they're going to make a movie, it will be judged like a movie.

The books don't matter, they have their own issues, and that still means it's a terrible adaptation.

God, did you all read something different to me? At what point do they say that you *should* have to read the books to get the movies? They’re not saying the books matter here, they’re simply stating that the books are *better* . Which obviously they are. They’re not defending the movie, they’re defending the books you blind arse bitches. Ily

Who's going to tell him?

yes cause it just ended with them totally screwing up all the mazerunner sequels. Not gonna lie and say I didn't enjoy seeing how Hunger Games played out but the series as a whole is overrated and most others are going to be forgotten, for now. I watched a direct-to-dvd one that was better than the mazerunner or divergent sequels, not that that is saying much lol.

Holy shit you're right I ain't seen one in forever

This means you don't need the death cure (last maze runner installment in theatres lol). @@NathanWhite22

Yes and you knew you were watching one because the male actors were always better looking than the females and the males chiseled good looks always far exceeded their acting abilities. Miles Teller is probably the only one who showed up in these movies that inverted that formula.

I dunno man the actors playing Tris and Katniss were pretty nice

Because they're basically the same movie lol Teenager who's special+ dystopia + a bunch of nonsense that is never fully explained because then the rest of the book would be full of logic and plot holes, and the writer isn't talented enough to get around it = Young Adult Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Movies if it was a combo

Read Four, divergent in Tobias’ perspective. It makes sense.

Heather Nelson his name was four because he had four fears it might have been a typo I don’t know

His name is four because that's how many fears he has

I totally get that he has for fears in the simulation, what I don’t understand is how he picked the name ‘Four’ before he ever went through the stimulation, because all four fears are his father and he wouldn’t have seen it in that way until he went through the simulation, and you can’t change your name after that first day. But I’ll have to look at that other book.

@@Heather_Nelson I think people just started calling him four after the test even though that’s not what he said

True that

I disagree. While reading the novel, all I could think about was how much the writer disapproved of people who are more intelligent than she is.

The entire idea of the book is ridiculous, a kid could have written this series. Idk how these became so famous.

I have all the books and only ever read the first one. Hate the main character in the first book and decided to not complete all the books

@@LedgerJoker77 A kid kind of did if you consider her one, considering she was a college student when she wrote them. This series makes me irritated because it's someone getting rich off of ripping off several popular YA novels at the time (mainly Hunger Games and Harry Potter). It's also aggravating because the more time you spend considering the story, characters, and such, the more you begin to realize how little sense most of it makes. Then again, I get annoyed someone got rich from making poorly written crap like Twilight and stupid crap like Fifty Shades of Grey... Now that I'm older, I choose to try and ignore these mostly terrible existing franchises instead.

Resurgence Of The Shadow Dragons no, the books are BRILLIANT.

@@leahmarie7290 The books are okay Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series arguably better, entirely different genre though Spans 14 books, about 1000 pages each As for comparable series, I'd argue that Maze Runner was a bit more innovative than Divergent, although Divergent was a lot better than Hunger Games You're talking to someone that read more books in three years just from the School Library, than had all the remaining 19 of the top 20 had in the last 25 years of recorded history at that library :)

Resurgence Of The Shadow Dragons I’ve never read the “wheel of time series” so wouldn’t know if it’s better or not. The Divergent books in my opinion are better than maze runner. And it’s so fckn annoying that the divergent movies were terrible.
