Thor: Ragnarok Pitch Meeting - Revisited! 

Hello Ryan George from the thing I'm currently watching

“Ohh, doing your own bits is TIGHT” is one of the funniest lines you’ve written, and it wasn’t even in a real pitch meeting

For what it's worth, saying Hela "wants to take over Asgard, so she does" is still one of my favorite Pitch Meeting lines. It's up there with Gandalf's "breakdancing incident" and "my Physics teacher filed a restraining order after reading the scene I wrote."

Listening to you seamlessly change from your Ryan voice to your Producer Guy voice while rewriting the script is soothing to my soul.

I don't like how the older clones aren't eternally smiling or speaking in an unsettlingly joyful manner.

“I let myself sleep more, now.” - Words of wisdom from Ryan George

"Just keep doing it even if nobody's watching" I really needed to hear that today, thank you!

The document edit has instantly become my favourite thing about this revisited videos, please keep doing them, you precious angel.

Wait? This was only the second pitch meeting?! That is literally insane how good they were straight off the bat

I had a dream the other night that you released an April Fool's video but the gag was just that Producer Guy and Screenwriter Guy switched spots. 😂

Interesting to see how far the channel has come. Yeah the scripts are sharper now and there are more catchphrases, but it's really the delivery that has gone from just okay to the best part of the show. You've really nailed those characters, and nailing yourself is tight.

How do you always know exactly what thing I'm currently watching?? It's borderline creepy but very flattering at the same time. Wanna go to the prom with me?

ohhhh watching ryan editing his docs file is TIGHT

Film school support tech here. We cover both journalism and documentary (also used to do dramatics). We teach with everything from big studio cameras that _require_ a tripod, to shoulderCams, handiCams, to DSLRs to phones, with a bit of drone work on the side. All are valid, some better for certain situations than others, of course. "The best camera is the one you have on you when you need it" and all that.

With the HISHE crossover, who approached whom? I imagine the viewers of one tend to swim in each other's pool so it made sense. Loved it

I like seeing you go back and do the re-writes; you've clearly gotten better at your craft!

I enjoyed the doc editing. Also, "billions of dozens" is a criminally good line to just throw out there with no prep or anything

In my mind you did the "Rough, rough, Ruff" joke with the dog clips for your own amusement primarily, but I thought you should know that it was straight comedy GOLD! I laughed so hard and I applaud you for your work.

I personally think that Matt Damon cameo was his BEST WORK! 🍿 Dead serious, I look forward to more Actor Loki!

I love that you do these. Wrote a novel a little over ten years ago and published it, but I was looking at it last year for the first time since publication and was embarrassed by how bad it was. But then I saw you do these and literally rewriting your old material that doesn't quite meet your current standard. So I opened the old file and realised that my novel could be saved with a bit of tweaking. I don't have to burn it to the ground and act like it never happened.

The difference between the early and later videos is noticeable, but it's nice to see a revisit on them with critiques adding another level to them.

In Writer Guys defense, Who's Line was a pretty epic show.

REALLY love the revisiting of the script part. For me, that's the perfect Insight into not only what you were thinking back then, but how you have grown as a writer and in your understanding of that into which Pitch Meetings has evolved over the years. Would love if you kept that as a regular segment on these Revisited bits, which, by the way, I also really love.

Glad to see these revisited videos are still coming out. Question: I hope it isn't too personal, but how do your family/close friends think about Pitch Meetings. Ever got together, and hear someone say, "Let's watch Ryan's new Pitch Meeting video" or something else someone said that sticks in your head?

Watching Ryan go seamlessly from himself to Producer Guy to Scriptwriter Guy is delightful. How do you keep finding new ways to entertain us, Ryan?

Hi Ryan, kind words kind words. I'm currently a film student at the University of Michigan. To answer your question, no, we don't typically shoot on our smart phones. Usually we only use our smart phones as cameras when we're in preprod (location scouting, rough storyboards, etc). While the camera on phones are great now, they don't teach you some of the important things about filmmaking that an actual DSLR can, so almost every production focused course will use Canon XF605, Blackmagic 4k and 8ks, occasionally RED cameras (I can't remember which specifically off the top of my head), and sometimes legit film cameras using actual film reels. No other real way to learn about depth of field, f-stops, and filming techniques! I totally love this series, btw, after I watch any movie that's come out in the past decade or so I always check to see if you've made a pitch for it yet and it's always a happy surprise to see you have 😁

The laughter/clearing throat bit was my biggest laugh in the whole Pitch Meeting, but I think a big part of that was the way R.G. played it. So if we're focusing exclusively on the writing, I can see why it's worthy of being cut.

Honestly the early pitch meetings are very noticable not just from the writing but also they feel much more stilted in your delivery than your current work. You're much better at it now

The awkward cough is one of my favorite parts of that pitch meeting; personally I'd just tinker the setup to be less harsh instead of dumping the whole thing

It’s crazy that Hemsworth and Hiddleston were cast originally to play serious versions of Thor and Loki, but they still fit just as well when put in a comedic version of the same characters.

Hey Ryan, glad you've taken steps to avoid burnout. I'm a big fan of your content.

Like the editing portion, especially taking it to the next level and acting out the replacement lines. Thanks Ryan!

I liked how when Thor introduces himself to Valkyrie, he says "I’m Thor Odinson" - without mentioning he’s a prince or anything - and she calls him "your majesty". A cool hint that she’s Asgardian way before we’re told it explicitly.

Watching these retros is a good reminder how much better you've gotten.

I love the Google Docs part, especially when you get back in character to read out the new lines.

It’s awesome to watch these older ones again. You have come SO far with these! Keep ‘em coming!

jeez ryan you came up with one of the best Tight jokes of all time so nonchalantly. Gotta work that into a future pitch meeting

I really love the new Google docs portion of these videos

I get so excited whenever I see these Revisited! videos, they're always top notch choices from your library of videos! Not sure if you're just super at picking the right ones, or if all your videos are just fantastic and always worth another watch + fun commentary with you and just getting a bit extra Ryan George which is just the greatest part!

I don't know how it too me so long to realize how very Canadian you are. I appreciate it.

I really liked this google doc breakdown. You took the time to read the portions you were editing or removing, whereas last time, things got highlighted and deleted too quickly to follow without pausing the video constantly. This hits a good rhythm and I didn’t feel lost, nor did it drag out too long. Please keep doing this! I actually DID get the feeling you didn’t enjoy that movie, so it’s interesting to find out that you did (I hated that movie specifically for the reasons you pointed out-the heavy themes that were completely ignored in the interest of making a comedy, even though that meant that Thor became a terrible friend and a terrible character).

Holy moly I love in the rewrite part how easily you go into character. Amazing!

You really are the best! Thank you for bringing the simple joy of silliness back into our lives.

Love this. The points you pulled out in editing are exactly what I noticed, watching this Pitch Meeting after having watched several more recent ones the last couple of days, the bit of mean-spiritedness and the repetition that kind of slows things down a bit. Seeing you actually edit and improve them with the skills you now have with this was great. Writing concisely without losing anything, making every word pull as much as much weight as it can, that's such a tough skill and it was just great to see you using your own real life examples for editing. I do really appreciate that while these are critiques in a sense, they feel like more or less "loving" critiques. It's almost impossible to make a movie that doesn't have some contrivances in it, for the sheer need to tell a complete story in a short time span. You can't show the guy knocking on 50 doors before he knocks on the right one. Nothing wrong in calling movies on such stuff, but it's a fine line to walk to be critique-y but positive and you have learned to do this, too, very well, and I for one really appreciate it. I don't think the videos would be as fun if they felt like they were genuinely "meanly" insulting people.

I love not only these pitch meeting videos but every video this guy does

The editing section is soo good! Your new take on those lines made me laugh, your new writing is very effective.

I always hit the like button as soon as I hit play on your videos because I already know I’m in for a good time 🎉

It is so fun watching you do the bits while editing your script

Hello Ryan George from the thing I just watched, I’m so glad I discovered this thing that you do. Getting through the day now is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I’m so stupidly engrossed I was surprised he had time to draw two different pics and then I realized

Definitely one of your more interesting "revisited" videos, so many good points about what you'd improve about the video and how the videos have developed the style they have now.

When my brother went to film school in the mid 90’s, they were still learning how to cut film. Like, actual physical 16mm film that they would need to cut and splice together as they edited their film. Digital cameras basically didn’t exist outside of the largest Hollywood productions. It’s amazing how much has changed in the past 30 years.

This movie holds a special place in my heart. Right when Thor along with MCU peaked, and I was in a transitional phase from school to college (in 12th standard preparing for Engineering Entrance exam in India) a lot was going on at that time but a hell good time to stay alive and return if ever could. 2017 is goated fr for me

Accidentally calling Screen rant the devil is tight!

I missed the last one that had the doc editing, but loved it. It's good insight! Top notch work as always.

Love the behind the scenes of how you did everything, Ryan! It helps give me a little push into my own dreams as a filmmaker!

0:25 calling it. The drawing will be a banner that says "Bruce"

Do one for the show Manifest! I feel like the concept lends itself well to a Pitch Meeting

Never realized how much I expect the voices. They make them better but still a great bit

You picked my question!!! Thats amazing!! Thank You Ryan!!

YES! Thank you! We get to hear the new line reads! I commented on the last revisit and you delivered.

looking forward to see what slacks you've made by next time. loving the doc editing!

I really enjoy these looks at older ones. It really does show how far you have come in a fun way.

Was a pleasure seeing your creative process. I think that making art is less of a lightning-in-a-bottle/work when inspiration strikes you, and more as a constant, never-ending job. Just sit down and do it always.

I think the ability to criticize your own work constructively without letting it drag you down seems to be a good quality you have acquired over the years. ...and would you go to Prom with me?

God bless you and your work sir Rayan 😎😎😎 respect from Croatia Europe 💙💙💙

Loved the “Ruff Ruff Ruff” bit! 🤣 I am so down for more random ryan editing jokes

6:00 Lol “billions of dozes, even” was really good

Ripping on Thor is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Bravo, this is an amazing video, well done.

Seeing Ryan George barking is TIGHT!

the rewritting the old script part is fantastic. Love getting to watch your creative process in action and how you explain why certain lines would work better with just minor tweaks.

Hi Ryan thank you for all your hard work! Watching your comedy is super easy barely an inconvenience! What is favorite food?? Warmest of Canadian goodbyes from the Cariboo region!🎉

I had a dream about you recently where you were showing me how you made your videos but it was on a really nice in-screen porch. You were friendly but as you were talking I noticed the weather changed from sunny to rainy to snowy in 10 seconds. Then you asked me to come inside and it was a giant mansion, and you showed me your wife and your now, 4 kids. I had a nice conversation with your wife while you were playing with your kids. Then I woke up thinking to myself, "did I just have a dream about Ryan George??" The answer is yes, yes I did

Hey Brian I hope you're doing much better and just know that everybody loves what you do and we all support you and we got you back okay buddy❤

There's that catchphrase we all know and love love. "Super easy, barely an inconvenience" "-oh! .. what happens"?

Love your videos! Please do a pitch meeting for Southland Tales!!! It'll be super easy! Barely an inconvenience. I am going to comment this for as long as you make these, until you make it. I will never give up. This is my seventieth attempt.

Whoa, during the edit you did an amazing impression of producer guy and screen writer guy

Once again, that script-revision segment was a really neat and insightful peek into your (redoing) process, and entertaining to boot! (The live dialogue of script-writer guy and producer guy)

I freaking love these videos. Love ya Ryan

Hey Ryan I love your video's! Can you maybe make a pitch meeting for The Bad Batch or The Flash (2014)? Or other shows like those like Arrow or The Clone Wars That would be tight!

I'm Ryan George from the thing you're currently watching. Everytime you say that I think that your favourite Movie Band name idea was That Thing You Do. "What if we call ourselves The Band You're About To Hear"

I like how you address that in your recent work you aren't making jokes that punching down like some of your older work. The light spirited nature of your pitch meetings is something I really appreciate compared to some of the meaner past stuff. I also find these movies enjoyable, and making fun of some of the stuff in them is just finding more enjoyment in them rather than making fun of the people behind them.

The “hehehehe (clears throat)” part was so funny. I watched it like 5 times. Let’s keep that 😂.

You know, it'd be cool if you did Pitch Meetings for video games.

Start doing revisits of the videos on your own channel! I want to see how you came up with all the Naming Things videos.

I really liked the "hehehe (clears throat)" joke a lot and you nailed it

Liked Doc review again. Thank you!

Hey Ryan, You know how when RU-vidrs have been posting for a while and have a substantial audience, they will sometimes do a face reveal? Could you do a leg reveal?

“I was just a kid then. No more than 27.” I’m DEAD😂😂😂

Hearing you switch into Producer Guy cadence so casually is a true perk of the rewriting section.

The “bless you” bit was gold though 👌🏼

I’m giving you a sin for not winning Loki’s scene where he screamed in joy as Thor got smashed with the same move that hulk gave Loki in avengers.

Plz do Hazbin Hotel and/or Helluva Boss S1

Oooh i like the rewriting section! I am here for it!

Film student here: We still use big bulky cameras with tripods. Phone cameras are good, but the amount of things you are able to do with them aren’t. Accurately changing aperture, ISO, etc. is much better on proper cameras.

more like bore ragnarok

Mean humour is the funniest tho. Especially when its aimed at a multi-billion dollar corporation thats bastardizing all our favourite characters for profit

Ooh, loved seeing your creative process explained in the rewrite section.

Great job dude!
