WTF Happened to M NIGHT SHYAMALAN? 

Definitely one of my favorites and was so happy that Split was connected to it when I saw it

The only problem I had with that film was how the hell a guy with super powers somehow has forgotten that he’s incredibly strong, ripped the door off a car and has never had a cold... Don’t get me wrong, I loved the movie it’s just always bugged me.

Elijah Price: “It’s Ok to be Afraid, David. Real Life doesn’t fit into little boxes that were drawn for it.”

That and Signs are both underrated in my view. I honestly think that the type of audience that watched signs (sci-fi lovers; thrill seekers, looking forward to a twist; hard headed types) couldn’t accept the final, twist premise, that God was real, watching, and had planned for the finale, so long as the hero read all the, “signs,” God left for him. Some atheists are really evangelical about it, and can’t take the notion of God, even in a fictional, sci-fi fantasy. So, they all didn’t want to come off as bigots, and went on about the water being illogical, which makes no sense to a scientist, btw. Given how rare Earth is. Imagine you had no Earth left, and roamed the universe looking for a planet to colonise, and find one, with all of those incredibly rare things you need? The right gravity; nitrogen and oxygen mix; minerals and resources; food sources; radiation protection; temperature; stability; the list is literally endless. But the only catch? Oceans of sulphuric acid. The odds of finding another, more suitable habitat are literally billions to one against. There’s nothing wrong with that premise (though there are some, few, flaws in the execution). We are literally trying to set up a society on Mars. Why would a species, made of 70+ % water want to inhabit a planet with virtually no water, and no atmosphere? See what I mean? And don’t get me started on what these aliens would have seen of Earth culture? They’d be wise to eradicate us, but they at least seemed to be sending out teams to explore, before dropping bombs on us? People hid behind an ill informed argument, to cover their bigotry. I honestly think that. Man, I must be, “triggered,” or something? I went on a bit! I must have been carrying that around for some time 🤣👍

@@adamwest8711 : Is that your real name? If so, I know your secret identity . . . 😉

you've never heard of self-hating Asians? the US is full of them, supporting white supremacy like M Night here.

@@RandomUserX99 As non-white, non american and someone who actually has experienced racism in my travels, let me tell you. You sound like those crazy religious cults always screaming about sin and the end of the days. Just replace those two idea by racism and white supremacy.

@@jotatsu I'm not white dumb ass. Shamaladingdong is a white-washed hack who hates Asians in Hollywood just as much other racist directors in Hollywood. If you are defending fucking Hollywood racism then u are just as bad as this fucking hack.

They are accusing Mike Pondsmith, creator of Cyberpunk 2077 of white supremacist, this people are morons.

thought he was Indian

EXACTLY!!!!!!

It’s like getting the “Best New Artist” Grammy award.

🙈; "what can you say about Steven Spielberg?" 🙊; "He eats whole babies... 😆"

M night has already passed him

Schindler’s List is better than every M. Night film combined.

Yeah, it was dead all along

Ahhh i get it

Nah he brought it back with the visit and split

Cleverly done.

That’s pretty sharp. Hope you’re wrong, as I’d love to see something of the level of 6th Sense, Signs, or Unbreakable again. Have you noticed? His best movies are all family drama’s about loss and grief, with a sci-fi element to them. I’d like to see him in darker, David Fincher type territory? Bet he could do a really excellent dark and deadly thriller? But, that was a good quip, I’ll give you that 😉

I’m gonna be honest, the visit was not all that great. The camera quality ruined the illusion of it supposedly being a found footage movie and the kids were very obnoxious, especially the rapping kid. Split seemed to be a return to form, but the script was written back when he was making good movies like unbreakable. Then he shat the bed with glass and now he seems to be back making terrible movies. I’m guessing he must’ve taken credit from an unseen hand that played a part in the script or film aspects of sixth sense and unbreakable, because how else can you explain his horrendous track record.

@@ivancorredera4241 Glass was good, friend-o

I mean he kinda set himself up for failure, people see his films as good or bad based off the endings of them

Every great creatives plateaus and comes back

Except Signs.

@Türker was it? Because the CGI was pretty bad. The story was weird, “swing away”?, and the twist was well... everybody knows what we can say about that...

I could argue that the village should be on there

Signs was utter shite

The happening to, dont forget

Or when in neighbor's house loses something under the door and reaches for it when alien hands try to grab and he slices the fingers part had me jump! 😂 His movies worked best in seeing them in full Dolby sound movie theaters back then that will change in our futures, now with the Corona virus movie theater decline.

Move children. Vamanos!

me too

It was very financially and critically successful. Hardly the criteria for an underrated movie. There exists a very vocal crowd of haters who reject the movie largely due to the absence of any big SFX reveal of a full scale alien invasion and the Aliens’ Weakness (the same as David Dunn’s) which was arguably underwhelming. I still say that the movie is still great for creating trope-defying canon, i.e. Intelligent Space-Faring Aliens that that do not use technological weaponry against characters that do not have firearms. I have also never before or since seen an alien movie that featured creatures with a biological ability to release poisonous vapors as a weapon.

PUSSY! I mean seriously that was the lamest cgi alien I have ever seen. I bet you have trouble going to sleep without the lights on.

Signs was good. No one can convince me otherwise.

The first time I ever saw Signs, the part when the alien walked quickly across the screen was genuinely scary. The ending sortve let it down, but everything leading up to that was very good.

I liked Signs. I guessed the ending of The Village too early and it ruined the rest of the movie for me.

Raoul Walsh directed the naked and the dead 1958 with cliff Robertson Aldo ray Raymond Massey joey bishop

I also liked the Village.

yes. And Debra Winger

Oooh, that's a good one. This will be fun.

She's busy being lesbian

@@andersask5503 full time job that ;)

thiagots85 I saw the first few episodes and I don’t get it. Just seems like another kid’s cartoon. A “Chosen One” protagonist (hate that trope), obnoxious “funny” useless sidekick character in the brother, even a poop joke! Really what’s the big deal? Does it get better? Why are people falling over themselves?

@@archer1949 just watch the whole damn thing

@@archer1949 God watch the whole thing

@@archer1949 Yes, it gets much better. Especially seasons 2 & 3

@@archer1949 Watch "Zuko Alone" or "The Storm"

& people don’t even realize that

And butchered a great show with a really good awful adaptation. Even if you never watched the show, it has too many plot holes and pacing issue, no emotion.

The lies you tell. That movie was crap like the rest of his movies.

I loves the idea of the villiage plot but the movie did not work for me.

Cough cough Darren Aronofsky.

@@JamesASharp Aronofsky as a director has more movies I like than dislike but with Shyamalan it's pretty much split down the middle. When he's good he's amazing. I can watch Unbreakable on repeat, for example. But the ones I dislike cause me pain because I'm grinding my teeth the whole time. 🤣

The combination of a massive inconsistency meeting a massive ego [it doesn’t help that he puts his name above the title and his face too many of his movies] makes him a lightning rod for critics and audiences alike. Creating an expectation of a twist ending every time out it’s a recipe for disaster. As is making a movie after movie that services your ego instead of a box office. I can’t believe nobody told him what shit half of his movies were while he was making them.

Too bad you didn't.

I agree that The Village was great and underrated.

Yes. Audiences probably just disappointed because the big reveal contained no elements of the supernatural. People want fantasy and not a reminder that there is nothing in the dark that isn’t there in the light, except fear.

yea, that's the only film of him i like. The Sixt sense have so many plot holes when you see it after the first time.

The Village is not underrated at all. Most people kind of hate it, because it sucks. M. Night was one of the biggest filmmakers in Hollywood at that time, so everyone saw The Village. It had its time in the sun, and it was rightfully forgotten because it's just not that great- and the twist ending completely undermines the emotional impact of everything that came before it. It's fine that you like it, I'm just saying it's not some hidden gem.

i love it!

I did too, but I think I'm biased due to my huge crush on Zooey...

Me too

SAMEEE! I really enjoyed the movie maybe will change a little the cast but I still like that movie

@@trackatlas6626 I understand but not even her massive baby blues saved it for me...

I also enjoyed it

Still not as bad as “The knowing” which I still believe is secretly directed by him under the pseudonym Alex Proyas

Speilerg did have a few flops...but I don't count Hook as one of them. Lol!

Don't forget about 1941.

Crystal Skull is a good movie. If you want to critize Spielberg why not to point out Ready Player One.

Not a fan of how it casually dismissed David in the second half of that film. An unworthy conclusion to a solid character.

People didn't like it because They built up an entire mythology, while building up an insane rivalry, while teasing a criminal mastermind, and they killed the Myth unceremoniously, The Epic Rivalry Never came to a head, and the Criminal Mastermind's plan is stupid and hinges on a car backfiring which is a stupid movie trope and too contingent on that employee Never fixing his muffler which is not how criminal masterminds should operate... it's just dumb luck the car makes that noise, there's Nothing brilliant about the escape plan... Also people like David Dun, we want him to live to fight another day if only in our imagination, and if he does die, it shouldn't be with his face in a puddle, from some random nobody Because that's anticlimactic and defuses all the tension he'd crafted over several decades...

@@RedRonin126 Sounds to me like expectation is your worst enemy. Also, there's a lot of "wants". Guess what? You don't get to decide how he makes the movie and being disappointed at you not getting what you want is for toddlers.

@@thegillmanedits I "wanted' the movie to not be a total piece of shit. Can't always get what we want. Sounds like you "want" everybody to agree with you or they're babies. Funny how that works.

The problem with glass was they drowned a metahuman in a mud puddle. So anticlimactic.

this argument is so lame considering those y'all use it on have impressed us with a number of their films they've written

No shamalans terrible he hasn’t made a good movie in years

@Oves Du Bro Shayamalan did not direct Gemini Man or Avatar. Those are movies by Ang Lee and James Cameron

He meant the last airbender(avatar)

Well he hasn’t made or written a good movie in a while so his writing has slipped a writer can fall from grace

🤔🤔🤔....Good question! Let's hope JoBlo makes a video on her soon😁😅

@@lesleyesau watch this video please.

Unbreakable, split and glass are definitely one of the best superhero trilogies. Personallly I think unbreakable is more realistic and grounded then dark knight

Bro can I have a opinion , I said it feels more grounded and realistic then the dark knight, that’s just my opinion now chill out I didn’t even say it’s better then dark knight it’s just feels more realistic then the dark knight that’s my opinion

I like Unbreakable and Split but I was disappointed with Glass

Breathtaking 😂 weird word to describe movie music

glass was legit dogwater

I don’t hate Lady in the Water 🤷🏽‍♂️ I don’t think the movie itself is that bad. I took more issue with him painting his own character as this genius visionary that would change the world with his writings.

@@michaelj6392 Good cast, neat idea, well shot (not exceptional but a step above average)... personally it just hurt to watch. Couldn't connect with the characters and the preachy self adoration of the misunderstood writer is something I'd expect to see at an open entry film festival. I'm glad you enjoyed it, truly. I enjoy some films unironically that most people hated. Great thing about cinema!

@@natecw4164 i like lady in the water. Unbreakable, the village. I like the story and cinematography. His others i dont really care.

@@mzrorange7527 I too enjoyed The Village. For me it was the performances that held it together... and I liked the twist. I know I'm in the minority there :)

Lady was a wonderful movie. People don’t understand it.

Yea i think that same thing happened with that dude setting in the white house.

@@Kaledarkwind6151 Hahahaaaa...

@@Kaledarkwind6151 Setting? Do you mean sitting?

@Channel X I fucked up, obviously I meant sitting, but oh well dude doesn't sit there anymore lmao

@Channel X I'm honestly kind of shocked that a few trump supporters even caught the typo.

I second that, I enjoyed them a lot alongside Signs

@@ZrodyApo I'll this that. I liked all his content up to and including Lady in the Water.

@@ScrapKing73 I think even his fans acknowledge that The Happening was an absolute dumpster fire. I’d love to see him do another classic twist movie though, back to his roots.

To each his own. The Village wasn't bad until the end. I don't even remember the other movie.

@@johnashley327 I liked the twist of the ending, double twist actually, which was part of what made the ending really cool in my book, but the execution of it was a little clunky, I’ll give you that.

I actually hear this alot, funnily the people that say this say its his best direction ever! Of course im like well ya know...

I loved it

The movie is fine, but the jam toast thing was just... plain stupid

Aww that's wrong. 😂😂🤣

No maybe midly underappreciated.

true.

Do you guys REALLY expect a serious examination of a subject from a video with that clickbait title? smh

I understand what ya mean however... have you watched any of their other WTF Happened vids? They do usually get more into things than just someone's filmography but like, M. Night was never involved in any scandals or anything. So what else would there really be to cover?

@@josecezar7903 I have watched a bunch of them, and in my experience they're all just filmographies.

I know this is probably the first in the last WTF about a person that I'm going to watch but I've literally watched every WTF he's done about movies they're great he should just stick to that

Thats the twist!

But he literally says “there will Be spoilers” in the video so...

I hope youre joking... These movies have been out long enough lol

There was a spoiler alert warning, in case you didn't notice.

Did you somehow miss watching these films? They're old enough to be lore. Most of them have been turned into SNL skits and pop culture catch phrases by now. Are you in a parallel universe where RU-vid was just invented? You're going to freak out when you hear about Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok. gtfoh

They aren’t aliens. That’s the twist. We are meant to think they are aliens because of our association with crop circles but they are actually demons. A hint is that the main character is a preacher. Most misunderstood movie ever.

1979's 'Alien' is my favorite.

Not my favorite but still enjoyed it. There was supposed to be a trilogy of this movies, all written by M. Night but directed by other others, don't know what happened

A masterpiece? Come on bro..

@@tommysanchez4757 If you think not.. you don't understand film.

@Herb Garden I graduated film school, and I'm a licensed and certified cinematographer. It's you that has poor taste. Tak Fujimoto

yea, but was that him that made that? Didn't know that. It's a cool little flick

@DillyDyson007 more power to you, my friend.

Only the first part of glass was good

@@rogerfrazier785 The Act 3 fight was also good.

@@rogerfrazier785 Exactly.

It starred off good and it got kinda boring and then the twist happened. 😐 What a disappointment.

Saw it in theaters and I don’t remember it very well 😬

Dude! Yesssss! The scene with the machine that bites dudes’ dicks off traumatized me as a kid! God, I haven’t seen that flick since like 1989!

Was that a clean and censored version of "The Ring Pirates"...?!

Wait what? Not a person alive liked Airbender. It has objectively the worst directing i’ve ever seen

Yes

@DillyDyson007 The very ending could've been different

I didn’t know he was in signs
