Netflix's Locke and Key - What's the Difference? 

Every single one of the "good" characters have the I.Q. of a rounded rock. I'm rooting for Dodge to just wipe them all out.

It honestly annoys me how they always forget about the music box key and the mirror key, those 2 are some of the most powerful keys and they didn’t even used them for nothing useful, like defeating Sam or Dodge, I mean they were all wondering how to defeat her/him just use the mind control box and say “ go to the mirror “ and lock them there, easy peasy

I think the characer's stupidity REALLY got in the way of the story when they were looking at Duncan's memories and saw that the identity key existed, and then 5 seconds later, saw their dad kill someone, and didn't once think that MAYBE the keys (or specifically the identity key) might have had something to do with it. I know technically it didn't, but STILL.

Them removing Lovecraft's name from the town was like a subtle hint that they'd removed the fear elements of the story in favor of magic and fantasy.

the novel was not meant for kids so netflix was like " hey let`s make this , but cut out most of the stuff that made the comic interesting and make it more suitable for kids "

The show felt more like a sort of long episode of Goosebumps rather than Locke and key...

The first episode was kind of amusing, but ultimately I'm glad I watched this video instead of the series. I loved the comic, and I do wish they'd kept some of the darker elements.

Why do I have the feeling that Jackson Robert Scott is currently the most typecasted child star in Hollywood?

One is an original horror comic with a great premise, an even greater execution of that premise and remarkable visuals, the other is a derivative teen-oriented show with good production design but baffling story choices and poor acting.

I liked the show, I would love to see a season 2. I do agree that the target audience seems to be for teens. But what the hell, I can still enjoy it as I did stranger things and It despite the focus been on kids characters.

Bode is my favorite character, because hes only one whose actions make sense. As hes a little kid, the other characters are dumb af.

Wasn't a huge fan of the more horror elements being replaced by mystery, was kinda disappointed that some characters felt dumb down at moments and was also really hoping they used the giant key. Granted they could be saving it for season two but still. Also another small thing, did anyone else find it odd that all the locke kids called their uncle Duncan by his first name?

If you also do Netflix shows now, can you also do whats the diference about The Witcher?

I kind of enjoyed it overall, but the characters are all idiots - there were so many opportunities to get out of bad situations with the keys/magic music box etc. And they never think to use the most advantageous things you could imagine when it calls for it. If the characters never did anything stupid, there would be no story, it ALL relies on characters being dumb, Ellie tries to resurrect Lucas, Bodhi frees the Well lady, they lose all the keys easily, they constantly make stupid decisions, they trust people quickly even though they know there's a shapeshifting key? They just left that lady trapped in her own head? They didn't figure that part out? it's completely erratic about who can remember what too, theres always a convenience, and even though I figured out the Gabe twist, I wasn't sure if it was an echo, or if there was a real Gabe at some point, or how he knew the Savinis, and so on...it's probably obvious, but it all felt needlessly convoluted. And they literally bring Lucas the key when they know he has the crown and they know where he is. It would be like someone going to the Death Star with the location of the secret Rebel Base, and walking right into Darth Vader's bedroom. Its stupid. Oh, and don't get me started on how they let a little kid dictate the potential fate of humanity, they just let a little kid wander off and play detective and protect potential world ending keys? And imagine if a crazed gunman walked into your home, someone who has already killed one of your family members....and you're complete expendable....and he has a loaded gun. I think most people would hold back on the sass and insults. I think you'd keep your mouth shut in that scenario and not piss off a possessed maniac. Right? Actually - why didn't Kinzie say...."I'll give you the key, I hid it in the music box, only I can open it" And then when she opens the music box she tells Sam? Was that his name (the gunman) ...she tells the gunman "shoot yourself in the balls and then head". Problem solved.

Great, brutally dark and Lovecraftian source material completely obliterated by a PG-13 teenie bopper makeover.. smh

I'm not a fan of the identity key or how they changed that people could remember magic or that echoes are immortal I feel like these changes add too many convenient ways to throw lukewarm twists in instead of the drama and suspense that the comics had

"leaning into fantasy so every member of the family can watch and enjoy" - tossed an innocent kid under a train

If you're doing Netflix shows, can you also do Umbrella Academy and A Series of Unfortunate Events?!

Not a huge fan of the Netflix series. The cuteness is sometimes too sweet and the decisions the characters make are just plan stupid. To the point you are kind of rooting for the bad guys. Stranger Things does a way better job of creating a tight and yet entertaining storyline with children as the protagonists and still having interesting relationships with each other and the other characters around them. Locke & Key definitely has their work cut out for them if they want this series to have any kind of success. I wish they left it TV-MA... making a more family friendly series (unless done very well) doesn't seem to breed the same popularity are Marvel films. Plus, on the rare chance that any execs read these comments... if you go into a comic book shop... the people you see in there are mostly older teens and adults. You rarely see families or children younger than high school age. That is your target demo.

Never read the comics but it sounds better than what we got.

I read the comics and loved them. When I seen there was a NetFlix series I was excited and then I watched it. I don’t say that to say I don’t like it, they wanted a wider audience with more mainstream appeal and i understood that when I watched the show. Do I love the original comics? Absolutely but I’m not mad at the show for the changes they made. I enjoyed the show for what it was and I will come to ur to watch it as well.

I was hopeful for the series, but after seeing the comparison, it just reminded me I need to get around to finishing the comics.

I hate when writers think they're doing something interesting or different for whatever reason and say that it will keep even the readers on their toes, but then by making changes they lose the initial audience. It's one thing when you're taking advantage of the different medium, but altering things for no apparent or necessary reason annoys me and makes me feel conflicted- mostly because I'm the type of person to really compare an original work to its adaptation. I thought the first season of the series was good and easy to binge, but there wasn't anything surprising. The ending plot twists were easy to pick up on in my opinion and I was more just confused as to why things went in certain directions and why specific things got more focus. Something I really like about the comic series is how dark it is, but to me with the lighter, teen show take with the adaptation, they lose a lot of the hard-hitting moments and storylines. The comics are quite memorable and the show is a jumble in my mind.

One of the biggest changes was Rufus... his Netflix character is a whole other person completely

Anyone else miss when CineFix would regularly release videos more frequently than once a month?

Could you do “What’s the Difference?” with YOU the book and Netflix show?

I only watched the first episode. They changed so much I couldn't keep going.

I guess adults can remember the keys. The dude that killed him self with the key knew what it was

I was the first born children of my parents. I am the more naive, playful, babyish, childlike, crybaby, curious, fun, happy, pampered baby child, and passionate one. I'm more like the kid brother. More as in, the kid sibling archetype. The classic good natured child vibe from the post baby boomer era. Even though I'm a post millennial. I am the oldest of the four children of my family. I am a snowflake. A post millennial. The good nature child of the baby boomer era. My parents, are from the post 1960's era. I feel like a post baby boomer. It's in my blood, heart, and memories of my ancestors.

This show really needed the Haunting of Hill House writers and creatives

I thought this was much better than I expected. It was a little slow in parts but overall kept me going through it so I can't complain.

Thank you for being the only video I have seen to use Aloha 🖕🏻 in the intro!! 👏👏👏

Now we just need a boys “what’s the difference” video

dudes, please make one of your lists to make this quarantine a bit better. PLEASE!

Hey for your next video you should make a “What’s the Difference?” Between Jojo Rabbit and Caging Skies. I think that would make a pretty interesting video with the changes Taika made for the movie :)

The cast did good!!!!

What a coincidence, I just finished it yesterday

I really loved the comics and was excited for the show but noticed how it was toned down. The thing is they took all the stuff that made the comics really great. I wish they didn't censor it like that I feel more people would have enjoyed it.

I never heard of the comics or the show but it looks really good

I hadn't heard of this show till now but I'm kind of digging it and I think I should check it out

Honestly the comic sounds ALOT more interesting

I was saddened beyond words how they took one of if not the best horror comics of the 21st century and sanitized and changed it into a CW-esque soap opera.

I got an idea for your next video on "What's the difference?" Try doing the comparison between the 2009 stop-motion film "Coraline" directed by "Henry Selick" which was based on the 2002 novel of the same name written by British author "Neil Gaiman".

How did Dodge make Ellie act like Dogde so that the kids thought they were tossing Dodge into the door? That switch-a-roo twist makes no sense. I re-watched it to check if I’missed something, but, nada.

I just found out this was a thing yesterday (the adaptation, not the comic).

Netflix guy is becoming a great character

Hahaha it was film in Lundberg, Nova Scotia 🇨🇦

And do the man in the high castle mate

hey did you guys do what's the difference the body and stand by me

You guys should do what's the difference with the outsiders

I hope it’s on the Canadian Netflix and we don’t have to wait for it (they really need a pouty face emoji)

Do “You” and it’s sequel, there are quite a bit of differences.

Can you do the difference between Stuart Little novel and the Stuart little movie?

Are you ever gonna do The walking dead season 4 what’s the difference?

I just finished watching it and... to give you an idea of how disappointed I am at the changes, it's not that this is one of my favorite comics ever, whose themes meant a whole lot at the right time, this series is a matter of national pride in Chile, where Gabriel Rodríguez is from. The TPBs are sold at the museum underneath the Government Palace, a major tourist spot. I'm OK with cutting out Nina being raped and stuff like that, but they turned this into Riverdale, down to the photography. If you read the comics, the colouring and shading is sharp. But more importantly, the comics unearthed the real thing at the heart of horror: Trauma and grief, as Ari Aster captured so well in 'Hereditary'.

Hey guys this is Enrique Ramirez and I have an idea for your next future video for "What's the difference?" Try doing the iconic christmas book "How the grinch stole christmas" by author "Theodor Seuss Geisel"(Dr. Seuss) which also became a film adaptation in the years 2000 (live action) and the 2018 (animated) trust you'll like this one believe me I watched both film it is absolutely fantastic.

I read the graphic novels and loved them. Is this show worth it or should I avoid

Does this video still contain spoilers for show if I've already read the entire comic series?

It’s been like a year or 2 since I’ve watched this channel, and I’m a little disappointed you guys didn’t make a homemade trailer for Endgame, even though y’all stopped doing those

I do hope we get the giant key when all is said and done.

I loved the show I watched it all twice

That they can make a whole series off of 3 comic books.

I got so many spoilers from this video... Did Dodge just introduce her/itself as Echo or is there another reason why in the version I've seen her name is Echo? Also she/it's a demon? When is that revealed?

Seems like a good show. I'll check it out

Jeez they really sanitised and dumbed it down. Fans will probably hate it.

wher's all the homemade movie trailers?

See in the show scott calls his friends ‘droogs’ which doesnt mean friends. It means ‘gang members who im going to commit horrible crimes with’

Yay!!

Any chance of continuing the Walking Dead What's The Difference series?

Could you do what's the difference "Carrie"? Thanks

I want to remind everyone... Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you should share it. (Even though the author asked for it.) Sometimes, no reply is best if you cannot say something nice.

I should know these, but it just been too long since I read the books, I've forgotten which keys were in there or not.

You guys should do the Netflix umbrella academy too, I’m tired of getting into a drunk tirade to explain why the comic is far superior to my friends. And honestly I hate all the changes made in the show, it feels wrong. I don’t mind more keys but the blatant changes to the rules and lore doesn’t feel like trying to keep the audience guessing it feels like Netflix said, “this is lame we could do better!” I would have preferred a soft reboot/sequel/prequel. You could tell the story’s about an earlier or later Locke family or if you wanted to make a kid friendly show have a younger cast collect the keys like Pokémon with a cartoonish villain. This somewhere in between dark and kid friendly and rewrite of elements just feels like a shameless cash grab

Can we please have what’s the difference on The Handmaiden/Fingersmith please

Do “what’s the difference: the escape of Alcatraz/ Clint Eastwood’s escape from Alcatraz.”

The differences made for the show is good on its own. The graphic violence in the comics would never be duplicated in the series for sure.

Could you guys do a video on the difference between the Godfather movie and book?

The show was "ok". I never read the comic, but I do wish the show leaned more towards horror than it does. As-is it kinda feels like a spiderwick type story, which the comic obviously is not. I don't know if cinefix was being serious or sarcastic when they said Elle being the one thrown into the omega door was surprising... Cuz it wasn't... At all. I saw that coming a mile away. The other thing that bothered me is Gabe being Dodge. We are introduced to Gabe so early on. How would gabe/dodge know that kensi would join in on that movie? Gabe had to be a new kid too, yet that's never mentioned, and it seems like he had been part of the group for a while. So I'll admit, I didn't realize Gabe was really dodge til probably the last episode. But that's cuz it doesn't make any sense

Nice

The difference is that the comics are actually good.

I'd like to see something about the Umbrella Academy (although maybe wait to do it until the next season premieres later this year)

Is there a What's the Difference? Episode on the Hunger Games? And if not I'd love to see one :D

I hear that Seven and the Bone Collector we’re both based on books. Bet the differences there might be fairly interesting.

you guys should really do an episode on Kingsmen comic/film. just the first movie tho lol

I never knew there was a locke and key comic book series? Regardless of actually plan on watching the show somewhere down the line.

please guys can you make (what's the difference)about walking Dead season 4?

Please do "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Willams!

I want them to do What’s The Difference? The Godfather

It's funny how bloody dark comic books or graphic novels get kid zoned or teen zoned in film/TV adaptations.

Yes

Can you what's the difference or 8 bit of The Wolf Of Wall Street?

You guys should make more homade costumes that was my favorite series

Bode is the only one I'm cheering for

You guys should do a what’s the difference on the show YOU

We found a way to remember reminds me of somehow palpatine returned

Both 5:56 and 6:02 look extremely painful so it makes no difference to me if one is bloodier than the other.

I wanted to like the show but the ending soured the already weak adaptation. The last twenty minutes where they held your hand. Target audience ages 12 -16. Show written for ages 4 - 8.

I love cinefix, but I love homemade movies even more. They took away my favorite RU-vid series. Bring Ben and Dustin back! Bring the original cast back! Why cinefix, why?

Should do Trainspotting next

My friend shoed me this series, i was mostly annoyed how the characters were and i even was able to tell where the stories were going to head way before the series was about to start
