Quickie: The Bad Guys, The Northman 

Oooo. I wonder why... 🤔

HELOOOO

Been wondering how "bad guys" was going to be

Huh I thought the animation would've have been interesting on the first one

Bad Guys or Zootopia?

Riddle me this cub

I 100% disagree. Awful movie

@@yehiahisham8425 you're right, minions is better

My mind has been corrupted by Adam's gaming channel, I keep hearing him say 'bacon and eggers' whenever I read this comment.

The casting is one of the main reasons. No strong wahmen of color in medieval Europe like other current year historical shows.

@@GeraltofRivia22 Come on dude, don't be that guy.

@@MrPlaylist1991 they literally did that in the new Vikings show. Replaced a real historical white male with a female POC.

@@MrPlaylist1991 tell me if you can see my reply, RU-vid is pretty censor heavy these days. Basically look up one of the cast of the new Vikings TV show. She's a PoC woman who's somehow a jarl in medieval Scandinavia.

@@Lilbuckets2 I heard he's remaking Nosferatu.

@@kamikazoo6599 That would be amazing. The Murnau original and Herzog remake are both fantastic as well.

rlly good to know actually, thank u for that info. srsly!

lmao, true

@Lighthouse in the Storm the northman is a version of hamlet, just like lion King

@@filthyneutral5801 the story of amleth is actually what inspired hamlet, shakespeare just moved the h to name his character. technically hamlet and the lion king are just spin-offs of the original story of the northman.

What an ignorant comment. The Northman is based in an Icelandic saga that precedes Lion King by about 2000 years. The Lion King is based off of Hamlet.

@@llgogo Hamlet was based on the same story that the Northman is based on, so the similarities between the Lion King and the Northman make sense dumbass.

Wasn't Nosferatu cancelled in the light of Morbius getting critically panned?

@@HenryWayat As much as I love Eggers, he probably realizes he can’t top Morbius as the truest of vampire kino. And I think it was cancelled for other reasons as well, which is a shame because I really would have loved to see what he could do with that film.

@@HenryWayat I wouldn't consider Morbius a vampire film, any more than I'd consider Man of Steel to be a superhero movie. lol

@@stanley13579 well yeah, but Hollywood may see it differently. From the source I seen there was a bunch of vampire related movies cancelled right after the release of Morbius.

Hasn’t it been cancelled?

To be honest, diane foxington from the bad guys is like spamton from deltarune chapter 2 because they both wear glasses and they both make deals and i think i remember the fox girl say now's your chance to redeem yourselves like how spamton says now's your chance to be a big shot. When wolf talked to the fox girl on the stairs it reminded me of the original spamton fight in deltarune and when the fox girl was reavealed to be the crimson paw, it reminded me of spamton neo. Instead of rescuing wolf and the gang, i was expecting the fox girl to fight them instead and have wolf's soul turn yellow and be able to shoot things and wolf and the gang will be in minecarts and the fox girl wants to take wolf's body as a vessal and says he doesn't need his freinds. Wolf and the gang can either beat the fox girl up or break her strings and then they get an item and a shadow crystal and also marmalade is also kinda like queen since they're both selfish. Could someone please do a YTPMV of now's your chance to be a big shot where the fox girl sings now's your chance to be a big shot and also with sounds from the movie as the melody. Since matpat did a ness is sans theory, i could also see him do a diane foxington is spamton theory. So at the end of the day, the fox girl from the bad guys is like a female version of spamton from deltarune.

Yeah, I wonder what he thinks of The Lion King and its remake 🤔

Judging by his own statements, he would give the 1994 lion king a 10 and the 2019 lion king a 1

Even if it bombs in the theater, a high quality movie like this will definitely make its budget back in the home release.

Honestly for a movie like that it isn't doing bad it just has an insanely high budget it would have to make 300 million to make a profit

I saw a clip. Trust me, it’s not surprising at all.

I also work at a movie theater but never really had anyone see Northman. Especially not in large crowds. About 10-15 people at the most on weekends.

Where is the theater? I’m curious about what place is this invested in The Northman lol

everytime furries related going on in a movie he's swinging alright

I wish the movie did a better job establishing the world of it. Only the main characters are andromorphic while the rest are humans, and then there're also non-speaking animals which was pretty jarring and added nothing to the overall story. Not to mention they dumbed down the humans like they all have the IQ of a 5 year old or something, except maybe the chief police lady. I could have looked pass this if it's an old movie that came out 20-30 years ago, but for a modern day family film, I'd expect the creators to put more thought into the world building.

@@ryantheanimator1156 Yeah the universe was really weird. I don't know if the settings are like that in the book it was based on, but I had trouble with getting the movie's universe especially how human characters were reacting to animal characters. Like somehow wearing a mask suddenly makes you non suspicious wolf? I know that part was probably a joke, but there were so many instances like that throughout the movie, even in serious scenes, the logic kinda took me out at few points. Kinda made me appreciate Zootopia more on world building. Still loved the animation and action scenes and also the character designs. I heard that the director said he would love to do a sequel, I just hope they get better script on the sequel.

@@sori_osori_ Yeah, and don't forget this film literally follow all the predictable plot structure that has been done to death since maybe Pinocchio, like there gotta be the obligatory "You betrayed me, we are not friend anymore!" plot to add "conflict and drama" to the story, lol. I wish animation studio just move past that cliche and come up with new type of conflict or something fresh.

Considering Dreamworks has made a cartoon franchises from their movies before, notably Kung Fu Panda and monster that is HTTYD, a Bad Guys cartoon on Netflix doesn’t sound too bad. I’d watch that over Boss Baby the cartoon series.

Castle of cagliostro is a huge influence for many animators and directors

Yea I think anyone who loved the bad guys and is craving more should absolutely check out Cagliostro or another Lupin III movie for sure! This movie was very strongly and lovingly based on that series. Especially it’s bold animation style, the assorted cast of characters and the theme of criminals with morals or “bad guys” who aren’t actually that bad. Lupin iii originally found a lot of its inspiration from western cartoons, so it’s super cool and poetic the way this goes full circle. A lot of modern anime and Disney / Pixar have been inspired by Lupin III and reference it so I always recommend it to animation lovers for the history and inside jokes. You only need to watch one Lupin movie or a few episodes to be in the loop tbh so it’s not an overwhelming endeavor like One Piece or trying to read marvel comics or something All the Lupin movies are independent stories you can watch in any order and don’t need to have seen any of the show. They’re all pick up and go and a lot of fun. And a lot of them are free to stream online so that’s great Although if you mainly liked the Bad Guys for being furries you’re out of luck lmao the Lupin characters are always human. Maybe check out Miyazaki’s Sherlock Hound instead.

It was a great experience for me.

@@patriciajin6206 Yeah it was a lot of fun.

Yeah, I think so too - towards the end it felt like the pacing was running a bit out of steam. I also wish there was a bit more mundaneness (?) incorporated in the movie. All the myth and magic lost a bit of its impact because it didn‘t have enough counterweight.

I agree with it being a bit too long for my taste but I chalked it up to my own eyes getting tired from staring for a screen for too long (that's why I don't particularly enjoy watching movies - lighthouse being the sole exception for the past few years). I would comment that while I find the length to be too long I have no idea where it should be cut.

When the plot is this simple it doesn't justify the runtime.

@@kingsleycy3450lol baby brain

@@Lauli55 I loved the magic in the movie. it was typical of Viking sagas

Agreed.

Pretty sure Eggers himself said it was based on what Hamlet is based on / another telling of Hamlet. Main character's name is also "Amleth" which is the direct inspiration for Hamlet.

@@cxm0d And Hamlet was based on sagas so there we go.

How can this be true when his movie is not even the best film this month?

He's great but lets not get carried away

How to say you haven't seen "Ambulance"

@@YearsOfLeadPoisoning lol

@@joysexual his first 3 movies are literal masterpieces

Very stoked for Nosferatu too but you NEED to check out The Witch and The Lighthouse ASAP

Lighthouse is widely considered to be his masterpiece amongst film lovers, but VVitch is a much more "accessible" film, meaning I think more people will like it. Lighthouse is very abstract and surreal.

IDK we already got an experimental Hansel and Gretel horror film 2 years ago. Would it still be considered copying another studio?

The Tell Tale Heart and Hansel and Gretel adaptations were actually early short films of his, I think you can find Hansel and Gretel online

@@Godstowho Apparently, he's not sure if he'll go through with it or not. And quite honestly, I do hope he still gets to do that film because seeing his style of directing combined with Vampire mythos would be awesome as all Hell.

Yeah I think it's because most of the fight scenes were oners as in one long take, or at least made to look that way

Movie theater employee here, unfortunately a lot of theaters (mine included) have a proverbial gun to their heads by Disney and demand we show their movies in as many theaters for as many showtimes as we possibly can fit or else they stop letting us show them. Hence, Morbius took up all the space and Northman was kind of given sloppy seconds. You hate to see it, but what are we supposed to do against the mega corporation that guarantees butts in seats, no matter the quality :C

@@madeofmeats damn that shit sucks. I thought Northman was okay (definitely not a movie for me but good nonetheless) but it is LEAGUES better than Morbius.

As a parent I took my kids to watch it and they had a blast so it work great for what it is. Very basic but fun movie

@@tallestgoose1570 As a furry I watched it and enjoyed it. The film was a bit predictable at times, but I had fun overall

Well it IS based on a children book series.

@@Mate397 Ye

I would also argue there’s a third reason it exists, that being the directors long running passion for it: The Bad Guys is actually Pierre Perifel’s directing debut (at least in terms of full feature film) and it took a lot of development to get where it was, with Perifel aiming to succeed in getting in finished, not just for his career, but for the sake of all on the team. Prior to this, his other director credit was on the animated short film Billy (a cult fave among the modern cartoon communities I’m in), Regardless and with all that said, I know you didn’t mean to imply that the director didn’t have a passion for this project or anything, I mean you are right that those are the two primary reasons. I just figured I’d comment all this, since I was also surprised that YMS didn’t mention anything about Bad Guys being a directorial debut (not that it’s a bad thing he didn’t mention it, I’ve just heard a lot of other reviews say it)

Yeah, a lot of movies coming out have had little advertisement. Same issue happened with Last Duel, I hadn't even heard about it until news came out that it bombed at the box office.

adam is a furry

You have it the other way around.

Adam would go there himself Don't worry

@@MasterSubLink you can be a furry AND have furry friends. 2 things are simultaneously possible

Maybe it depends on what you like in movies. I’m really glad I saw The Northman in a theater. It is a visually beautiful and immersive film that I don’t think would be the same experience on a television set.

You thought this film was LIGHT on Norse mythology? I thought it had shitloads of it, bordering almost on too much. Seems like every ten minutes or so there's a spiritual sequence or narration.

@@badjujubes Don’t get me wrong, there’s a ton in this film, and there’s probably more that I’ll pick up on rewatches. But there were only a handful of scenes that dove into those aspects outside of the rituals and traditions (and the story itself) from my recollection. It mostly felt like there was supposed to be more put into the film, but they cut it out (probably due to time and test screenings). I do think this current cut is a complete film by itself that I’ll gladly revisit, but I feel like there’s a 10/10 director’s cut somewhere.

Yeah big names and easily recognizable for movie enthusiasts, just like he said. Thats not the same thing. This type of movies usually go for A list star power. People don't exactly line up to theaters for a Meryl Streep side role either

Besides Nicole Kidman those names mean nothing to general movie goers. I know who they are but I watch a lot of movies. Adam is right when he questioned the casting for box office returns. They needed a household name for a 90 million dollar movie unfortunately.

@@StabStabStabStabby Sounds like this is boiling down to a difference of opinion but do you really not consider Anya Taylor-Joy to be a more household name? And Dafoe and Hawke? These 3 have all been in various Marvel adaptations.

@@ItWasRevealedToMeInMyDreams I don't think most general movie goers know the names of actors like Dafoe or Taylor Joy - they probably see them and recognise them, sure, but in the sort of "Hey that's the actor from movie/show X". And especially if they're playing side characters in a movie like this and barely appear in marketing material, they will have some but not enough of a sales impact imo. I agree that this film probably needed an A list type lead to get more normies to come watch the film. Although I thought Skarsgard was a great choice and did very well, but he's even further from a household name than the aforementioned Dafoe and Taylor Joy. Problem with getting an A lister lead tho is that it would probably double the budget just because of the salary lol

Same its interesting seeing it get so much praise

I'm glad someone said it.

As YMS said, he's not the American education system; 50% is not a failure.
