Fun fact: The kid actor is a huge fan of Deadpool and has watched it so many times he knows the dialogue of the movie and can recite it He learned the wittiness and joke delivery from Ryan himself lol that’s probably why he is so good at mirroring him
As a teacher, yeah he’s a spot on 12 y/o. They are witty, sarcastic and inquisitive It’s incredibly frustrating but also really endearing. Also a lot of them are pretty emotionally aware. They’re not as “absent” as ppl think they are.
This is definitely true, the newer generation have so much information at hand and alot of the times it isn't sensored to them at all. Sometimes it's like talking to a mini adult, I think what now differentiates adults behaviour to an older child is emotional intelligence and experience.
yeah I was an extremely sarcastic child even at like 7 or 8 I knew what sarcasm was and used it on the daily so when Dylan was like "he's too witty and sarcastic for a 12 year old" I was very confused bc it made complete sense to me lol
@@zxcytdfxy256 do you not understand their comment? That was them responding to Dylan saying that the kid shouldn’t be acting like Ryan Reynolds’s already since he’s too young to act like that and the point being made is that the kid already acts like Ryan Reynolds’s outside of the movie. Okay???
dylan: he's to witty for a 12 year old percy jackson: imma end this mans whole career (the actor walker scobell, who plays young adam is playing percy jackson)
I agreed with him, honestly shocked at how many people are sounding off otherwise lol. Guess we just don't hang around enough traumatized kids to find it believable
I agreed too and thought the same when I was watching it. Yes kids can be smart and observant, but they don’t have that level of psychological understanding of emotions, what causes them, coping mechanisms, etc. And even if somehow they do, putting that into perfect words after just realizing it is still a stretch, so I agree with Dylan that it doesn’t seem believable, it would’ve been more so if it was done in another way (more accurate for a 12 y/o) or if the kid was a few years older
I think Dylan has a completely different expectation of 12 year olds today. He fails to realize while we learned from Nickelodeon, Disney and hbo family, they learn from tiktok. Censors aren’t really a thing for kids today and their humor is definitely extremely sarcastic, honest and flat out mean. I think he portrayed a 12 year old today correctly.
Also, I know he hates recommendations, but I feel like this viewpoint would vanish if he watched a TV show like Outnumbered, where the kids pretty much improvised all their dialogue.
its actually cool to see Jennifer and Mark be a couple in the movie especially because of 13 going on 30, which also has the same idea of time travel too. its like a mini reunion.
It's like a perfect continuation of their story. "13 Going On 30" came out in 2004 and Adam in this movie was born in 2010, so you can say they were married for 6 years and then had a kid.
as a teacher, yeah, 12 year olds definitely act like this. also, when the kid says "you hate him because he died" he's not reading/analyzing Ryan Reynolds's character. they're the same person, and his twelve-year-old self is telling him his present truth before he grew up and twisted it into something else: he hates his father because he died.
This is the only reaction that I actually disagree with you Dylan. There are lots of 9-14 year olds that are REALLY witty, speak their minds, and even are empaths. I guess it may be the trauma they went through or it's just their personalities. I honestly thought Walker was amazing in this role, playing as a young Ryan Reynolds. This is even his first acting gig and he's done so well.
@@pedrogonzales4364so what you’re saying is “he played 12 year old Ryan Reynolds to perfection.” 12 year olds in general are annoying as shit. But add in the Ryan bit and yikes. Don’t get me wrong I love both of them but this is like saying “omg the villain was awful. They were so mean and villainous” Yeah. That’s the point😂
Dylan underestimating children is an ok thing. I really don't expect him to be talking to a bunch of 12 year old boys, but these new kids are definitely smarter than you think. The amount of times I've been shocked by the children at my job and my own children..... it really shouldn't still be shocking me. Lol
I think with the growth of technology and the information readily available to kids now adays, we have to expect them to act alot differently to kids in the older generations did
to be fair, Dylan, there are some very witty and self-aware kids out there!! kids are scary, especially ones that are smart enough to come up with insultingly good responses
I feel like 12 year olds who make adult jokes don’t fully know what they’re saying. I find it really hard to believe that they would make pedo jokes knowing the full extent to what they’re saying
yeah he's really writing off kids that have to grow up quick and therefore develop a deeper sense of humor than fart jokes and gross humor (like most kids their age).
i have definitely met 12 year olds that were that witty! and it’s not just the writing, walker scobell is very “ryan reynolds-esqe” in real life. i thought he did a phenomenal job!
Agreed. Plus his personality is very believable as a childhood Ryan Reynolds and you kind of need that. There's no way in hell some boring kid just suddenly gets the personality of Hollywood's sarcastic funny-man.
Yeah I had friends that were almost exactly like this kid when I was little, and I would have been more like that except my parents thought saying "fart" was a punishable offense.
I like how Dylan couldn't accept that the kid was really witty and self-aware the whole time, I was like that when I was a child but that's sadly what trauma will do to you
as someone who went through significant trauma at 12 I can definitely say we mature faster than other kids. I was definitely extremely self aware at that age and you pretty much learn how to get attuned to other people's moods and emotions because it's a survival mechanism at that point.
At 8:42, when Dylan appears to make allusion to himself when he says trauma can lead to become pretty funny, this is of course in reference to the traumatic experience he went trough when his college suddenly closed down, an event that led him to become the audible guy.
“You can be a real jerk sometimes” that line was so realistic to me like that is 100% something my mom has said before and in the movie the mom just seemed so exhausted with Adam.
I loved this movie! 12 y/o kids are actually really smart, they become actual people at 12. Loved the young actor and I'm super excited to see him as Percy Jackson in the new adaptation.
the conversation between Jennifer and Ryan in the bar made me so emotional when I watched it... but Dylan's commentary totally killed the moment lmaoooo
I think not all 12 year olds are as mature as this kid but i also think trauma plays a huge part in maturing early. I know i was much more like this 12 year then the childish ones you see a lot because i had to grow up a lot faster then a lot of kids my age. So i actually enjoyed seeing them have his character more aware and mature then a lot of movies do cause it felt more relatable to me.
I agree. Plus kids grow up faster thank you think. I think my sister (she recently turned 11) is quite mature, sometimes I forget she’s only 11. Also I hate when they have like a 30 year old acting a 17 year old as if they’re really immature and dumb 😭 It’s nicer to see younger kids being portrayed as mature and witty for once
I thought the same thing. That realization that kid had about it being easier to be angry than sad was a revelation I had at 14, so not too far off from the character’s age
I love that young Adam is as witty as Older Adam I’m impressed he can keep up the wit and it flows naturally off each other and makes it immediately apparent he’s the younger version of Adam they didn’t want to waste time flushing out his character because it’s more important to get to the big Adam and that dynamic
As a high school teacher - I can definitely attest that most 8-13 year old “kids” are sooooo switched on. They are basically witty, mini-sized adults and have very outgoing, individualised personalities, that are heightened even more by hormones. They can be full-on adults and then in a split second change to puberty driven teens who say/think the craziest, intense or insightful things. Having just 4-5 of these kinds of kids in a class of 28-30 is basically just controlled chaos at the best of times LOL. Junior high school is pretty funny and most teachers have to wear a poker face for 90% of class time. They also absorb EVERYTHING like sponges, so the synapses in their brains are just firing off 100% of the time and they mimic/mock adults like parrots.
@Gary Baldi from personal experience as a mum of now 20-22 year olds, an Aunt to 5 teenagers aged 10-15 and a teacher of 11-18 year olds for the past 22 years, I can definitely tell you that 12 year olds often speak better and more polished than most 18+ adults. Of course writers are involved as they produce the script, but young people are so quick witted and say very perceptive one liners like they’re comic geniuses :)
Gary Baldi wow you’re really bent on… “debunking” the fact that kids can be more developed as free-thinking human beings than people think? Congrats to your limited view on children I guess, and missing the point of these comments entirely.
I had my classroom observation for a college class and as I was sitting in on a middle school class I was STRUGGLING to not laugh. Like the amount of roasting that both the teacher and students were doing was amazing. Then there was just me at the back of the class over hearing the little conversations and comments they'd make.
@Gary Baldi Okay, but the op commenter was just giving examples from three different perspectives of being around kids, not just being a mom to her own kids. All she's claiming is that kids are a lot smarter and well spoken than they may seem, and you're accusing her of making it a competition and calling her desperate and weird. You're kind of being a dick for no reason other than you're completely misinterpreting what she was saying.
I have a 13 year old son and an 11 year old son and Dylan definitely needs to get to know some kids lol. This kids wit and perception of things is not remotely unrealistic! Most kids are shockingly more observant and introspective than adults realize. I can honestly say my kids teach me stuff constantly, my youngest is especially deep and insightful. Both of my boys are ridiculously funny too, and they roast the crap out of my husband and me. Sorry for the rant, that was just irking me throughout this commentary lmao.
Respect to a parent who can recognize that children are a lot smarter than most people realize. Thanks for listening to your kids and valuing their opinions, I’m sure they see you as someone they can confide in when they need to.
Yes, exactly. Tbh, Dylan's gotten a bit too cringey to watch. Noticing it more and more. You weren't the only one being irked. I think this is it for me with him.
Yeah I think people that don’t spend time around kids start just seeing how young they are and forgetting what it was like to be that age. So people hear 12 year old and think of the development closer to a 7/8 year old. I see it when people write 6 year olds and make their dialogue sound like a 2 year old and it irks me to no end
Coming back after Walker was cast as Percy Jackson. This video was the first time I’d ever seen him, and while the movie definitely had some issues I was super impressed with Walker’s performance. His career is about to skyrocket.
Kids these days are mad clever at talking shit man. I mean I'm not tryna say that I have much experience I'm only 26 but jesus some of they insults have so much references it's insane 😂
Yeah, I think Dylan has very little experience with kids. A lot of kids are idiots, especially where I grew up, but there are quite a few who are like Walker Scobell. Kids who are underestimated often wind up being kinda... bland, personality-wise. I'm not saying treat your kids like adults, they're not adults, but don't talk down to them and you'd be surprised how smart they can be. Mainly because they're still young enough that they pick up things a hell of a lot faster than adults.
You know, I wasn’t a witty 12-yr-old, so I was right w you last year on them not being this witty and worldly. HOWEVER, after working w middle schoolers all year my mind is entirely changed. They can be incredibly well spoken, sarcastic, and hilariously quippy. However I think this is partially due to near constant exposure to the internet for their upbringing, bc it teaches them how people speak way earlier than we learned without it
Most definitely. Exposure to the internet really rubs onto kids. It made me become very similar to what you have explained. For my younger sister she's all like pretty much like everyone her age obsessed with Tik Tok loves those weird Tik Tok dances and stuff. I find that stuff weird and disgusting. It's actually really fascinating.
oh yeah definitely the Internet contributed to it. The next generation might stand completely dumbfounded from all those little videos they watch or completely unbearable when they becomes annoyingly sarcastic. I personally got into the Internet at a young age, went on apps I probably shouldn't have since i was underage for the guidelines and stuff but it definitely shaped me. Saw some horrific things, found some horrific things that made me uncomfy but met some people who'd actually shown me how reckless some people are and subconsciously made me mature the fck up lol (plus some nice people too). The internet is so diverse it can quite literally shape you, idk if I would have the same personality and humor if I wasn't just as curious and reckless as I was before.
This was the first movie commentary was like "I gotta watch the movie before seeing dylan's reaction" and I honestly thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was just a fun movie that I don't think needed to be taken too seriously but I liked the overall message. I personally think the feel good scenes needed to be more lead back and let these amazing actors do it because there is already so much action.
Ahh yes. The most awaited movie commentary MONDAY. That means it's definitely Monday today. Thank you, Dylan, for keeping me in track of date. Edit: Jk, Dylan. I love yooouuu hahhahgah
i think walker scobell (young adam) did a great job especially for this being his first real movie. i found him really funny in this movie and in some of his interviews (specifically him reciting deadpool 2 lmao) kids with trauma have to grow up faster which is why he’s “too witty” which makes this movie realistic. i think he’s doing great so far and i can’t wait to see him play percy jackson!!
Definitely underestimating 12-year-old kids, lol. I'm a nanny to a 7 year old boy taking 6th grade classes. The knowledge and emotional intelligence is surprising! I liked this kid 😊
Ryan Reynolds wasn’t acting he was so himself. The kid was so damn on point. I love the kid. Edit: I am here after Blake lively and Ryan Reynolds met gala 2022. They were such a power couple.
Ryan Reynolds has been playing the same sarcastic character since the first Deadpool. I don't really blame him though, he's been paid probably around 100 million to basically play a version of himself in movies. You go girl.
The movie is great and the kid did amazing for his first film. Also Dylan, believe me...there are kids like that out there. Sometimes adults could learn one or two things from children.
Wtf I literally watched this earlier today. I think that the child actor was amazing, I really hope he goes places. I liked seeing a 12 year old that isn't all "toys and jokes". I find it kinda annoying that movies still think all children of all ages must act stupid or naive. And he still had the characteristics of a child (for example asking lots of questions and being focused on how ripped he's gonna get).
Yeah. I 've been waiting for this movie for a long time and I remember Ryan Reynolds posting in his instagram the child actor (adam scobell?) doing the deadpool monologue. It was really funny the kid is clearly witty he's like ryan reynolds junior or something that's why he suits this role so well.
Things Dylan missed that are shown at the start: His dad is a scientist and dead. The kid kicks the fridge door shut because it’s faulty. The bodies explode into dust because dying not on your timeline is different.
listen dylan i myself am a 13 year old and have been watching you since i was 11 and always understood the adult jokes and stuff. i personally got a more mature mindset just by having social media and can i just say alot of my 12 year old friends are really aware of these things and also a lot of us are observant of adults and learn and figure things out by them
That movie was actually pretty fun, I watched it around 1 a.m., on my phone, sitting on the bathroom floor sorting through all my nail polishes and painting my nails. Serious movie watchers would probably be horrified by that, but it was the perfect vibes for it. 😂
@@3dstuff654 interesting, I'm the complete opposite, I can't sit through a whole movie without doing anything else at the same time anymore. At least my hands have to be occupied.
14:00 as a female I wanna say its so true at this point- my movie theater speakers are very nice but any really loud sound it will vibrate so I be like GOLLLLY 😭
Dylan has a point with how the mom is acting with her son. He's also gone through something traumatic and doesn't have the coping mechanisms an adult. Assassins of happiness was lowkey mean lol
As someone who did suffer a lot of trauma when I was a child, today I see I was WAY more witty/thoughtful than I even realized. I have a aunt who nowadays says that she was constantly impressed by me. When I was 8 she was 18, and she said that one time she came back home from college crying for something that had happened and I was the one consoling her and giving words of advice. So yeah, we should not underestimate 12 years olds.
Ay, you seriously underrate that kid. I was eleven, in tenth grade when I figured out I had depression. My parents didn't have any sort of mad mental health knowledge (I don't think they cared or even believed in it). I understood that I was also emotionally repressed because I was left to take care of my siblings when I was four and that I had to be their parent figure at that age, giving up my own childhood. Hence why I believed I was simply emotionless for most of my life. Give the kid some credit. Dang.
Every time Dylan makes his insanely smooth video sponsor transitions, I feel compelled to actually watch the sponsor segment just out of pure respect lmfao
dylan is definitely underestimating 12 year olds. im twice their age and the shit they say sometimes are just unintentionally intelligent and way more empathetic than adults.
I don’t know I feel like 12 year olds as someone who was kind of recently that age and have been around are witty once and ridiculous the other times. What I think he meant was 12 year olds sometimes say the most random and completely stupid things most of the time their normal and sometimes they say some cool stuff but it’s few and far between.
Listen, I get where Dylan is coming from with the kid being 'too witty' but as someone with a significant amount of trauma, the kid's wittiness and matureness is pretty accurate to my experience. As many people in the comments have pointed out, kids with trauma often grow up faster to deal with the situation they're in. Plus, 12-year-olds aren't 'little'- people often group 8-year-olds and 12-year-olds together when they're not the same. 12-year-olds (especially traumatised ones) are often self-aware due to their early matureness.
@@ma_de_sa5848 self aware does not = healthy human wtf. Creator is speaking from personal experience not glorifying trauma Edit: please read the definition of often it might help you when reading 👍🏼
Gary Baldi you’re kinda missing the nuance of the comment. The only person saying witty is Dylan. The point was to contrast Dylan’s expectation that kids should be more “dumbed down” in media (especially in this conversation about a kid with trauma) and the reality that children with trauma MATURE faster. Not “get wittier.” I agree with the rest of your comment as an analysis on Dylan’s intentions with his rant, except for that self-serving assumption about a person you don’t know who’s already admitted to having suffered a lot of trauma as a kid.
@Gary Baldi exactly. Why would someone who went through such a traumatic experience as a child grow up to “brag” about it or even just mention it to random people when nobody at all asked. This is just attention seeking. There’s way too much of it on the internet…
@Gary Baldi wtf is wrong with you? I was speaking from my own experience as someone with a significant amount of trauma on a topic that effects me. I used the word ‘witty’ because Dylan used it. I never said all kids with trauma are like this, I said I grew up faster and became generally more mature earlier than my peers because of it. Your weird assumptions about my childhood and life because they don’t line up with your narrow way of thinking is gross and insulting.
Dylan: “I don’t think I have ever been impressed by a twelve year old” Dylan just minutes earlier: “what a badass kid I don’t think I’ve ever been more impressed with a kid right now”
@@Naahi95 same . I feel like the writers just copied and pasted some of Ryan's jokes from the past, and just made it part of younger Adams script . Not to be mean or anything, I just feel like people are giving this kid too much credit .
It didn't bother me in this instance, but I get why it might bother people. I mean about 90% of kids in movies are written to be way more mature and witty than real life kids. It's a cliche. Hollywood writing is 99% a cliche ridden borefest nowadays, so... I didn't even finish this movie. It's nothing we haven't seen about a hundred times already. Meh.
As someone who dealt with major trauma when I was 10 and continuous emotional abuse afterwards, i used to be the therapist to my mom to help her get through the equally shitty situations. Kids can grow up really quickly. Young Adam's personality was the most realistic thing in this sci-fi movie.
I wish this was a show rather than a movie. The relationships were underdeveloped and they had a lot interesting discussions about past relationships and events, so it would have been cool to see and explore that. I just wasn't that invested in this movie. The cast was great and I like the concept, but there was a lot that was crammed into a movie that is less than 2 hours long
@@cassidyweathers Honestly they did the best with what they have. But Dylan was right. If this was a short series instead, they coulda shown us much much more stuff
This isn't even the commentary you want. Look for crumb tv adam project decoded. This movie is based on the book of genesis and some deep occult metaphysical stuff most people have no knowledge about. A lot of Hollywood movies are deep in subliminal messages specially linked to the Bible.
Dylan makes such a good point about integrating dialogue in scenes, instead of having them walk from Point A to Point B, stop to talk, them move to Point C. Like one of my chill faves movies (as in it's obviously not some cinematic masterpiece but I like it as a chill, stress-free rewatch) is Ocean's 8, and but it's kind of slow. Their build-up to the heist where they're still establishing key information, introducing the team, and working out the plan is slow and could've been snappier if they whittled down a lot of unnecessary scenes _while still_ keeping everything intact. I've rewatched it so many times I can rewrite the scenes in my head to better cut down the length but still keep majority of the dialogue - now whether or not my imaginary rewrites is any good is completely questionable because I'm not screenwriter/director, nor a Professional Movie Watcher™ like Dylan, but the need to cut unnecessary walking scenes and rearrange the conversation scenes is there.
he's got a point on the trauma thing, although you can be both scarred and badass in some way too. my mom has epilepsie, so even though it terrifies me (especially in the weeks after she's just had one), when she has a stroke, I immediately know what to do. I've got anxiety problems, but I'm absolutely fearless and proactive in a crisis.
As an older sister to a 13 yr old brother... they are smarter than we think and I have been absolutely obliterated by him. Never underestimate the mind of a middle schooler
Dylan congratulating us for having childhood trauma because it might make us better people is not what I expected to see today, and I don't know if I want to laugh or cry. Thanks, I guess? 😭
Right?! And that description of who you become as a result of trauma sounds an awful lot like Dylan lol…sounds like that little rant was about himself more than us
I was so sure that Ruffalo would be alive in the end! It would have made so much sense if the villain actually orchestrated his death so she would have full control, especially since they mentioned how she got so successfull after the dad´s death. But I guess it was really just an unavoidable accident without any outside influence.
The movie was pretty fun to watch, the classic Ryan Reynolds play in action, Zoe Saldana gave us EVERYTHING but that godforsaken deepfake on that woman's face- distracted me for as long as it was on screen.
@@arasbackwards003 Sorian "past" and Sorian "future" are actually two different actresses which makes it even creepier imo cause the younger one really does look like a deepfake
it's one of those movies that's alright, definitely fun, not worth seeing again unless it's as a movie to have blaring in the back while focusing on some other task
My little brother and my mom had this interaction when he was 4: “I’d like it if you would respect my wishes!” “What do i look like a genie??” So I definitely believe a kid can be funny and witty like this. Access to the internet has only escalated the sass too
Can we just talk about how PRETTY their house is tho? I rly wanna make it on the sims but I’m not talented enough 😭 (Edit: ok I just watched the video and I’m so glad Dylan thought so too lol)
