"Bad movie, but at least it advanced the plot of the series.",
"agreed, better than the sequels. story is good but execution leaves a lot to be desired..",
"I agree that the movies as they were released are bad. What I do love about them is they set the stage for the Clone Wars show, something I've only just recently started watching.\n\nThe first season feels like the same disjointed mess as the movies, but then they begin dialing in on things and it's become such a fantastic show. Re-watching the prequel movies gives me so much more appreciation for the villains that were killed off too quickly, or the clones, or even the main cast.",
"Couldn't agree more.. Most of the last season was amazing. Wish the prequels were as well done"

"Because it was fucking dumb",
"Are you a skateboarder?",
"His timeline is off a bit on skateboarding. In the late 80s skateboarding was huge and died in the early 90s. \n\nI kind of question his numbers of both the skateboarding and rollerbladers in the 90s. Rollerbladers were definitely bigger in numbers, but never saw a skatepark or spot where bladers outnumbered skaters.\n\nI personally think the reason that blading died (beyond the famous joke) it just doesnt look as good as skateboarding or other sports. If you freeze a frame in a skating or blading video, the skaters definitely look cooler. This is the same problem with scooters. Scooters will never be cool or take over the numbers that bmx or skateboarding has.",
"Yeah I’m dying to know where the 29 million vs 4.5 million vs 3.8 million came from. Is that just counting how much equipment was sold?\n\nBecause… duh? Every kid gets a pair of skates at some point. But I would have never considered myself “part of the sport” or anything, just like I’m not a football player despite owning like six footballs. Rollerblading is significantly easier, so it makes sense that kids get them as toys. \n\nGrowing up as a kid, even during the height of the X-Games, I don’t ever remember there being more hype around in-line than skateboarding. Except for maybe Brink, I guess.",

This type of thinking leads to lack of consideration for the environment, corporate abuses, benefits of welfare programs, etc. It leads to believing that socialism is evil, government is all corrupt, and all the other self-centered, bigoted, power-consolidating propaganda spouted by the conservative media. Don't listen to this bullshit.",
"It was his original title to the video so I honored that. Can't tell him to correct it cause he's resting in peace.",
"1. People who work at Walmart can join the military so idk where you got that from \n2. I'm sure this guy realizes his situation could have been different but chooses to encourage young people. Nothing wrong with telling someone not to give up, even if they do work at Walmart. What's wrong with that ???",
"He was in the military",
"Don't disrespect someone for thanking a veteran",
"The last country that realistically threatened to invade the US was the British Empire, so I’m not so sure about your dates there",
"Also I was a heroin addict 8 years ago and now I'm attending university for computer science and I did that all myself, paying for it and everything. So don't EVER say people can't change or can't achieve their dreams cause of the hand they've been dealt. I am an example of how people can truly change and I plan to pay it forward the rest of my life.",
"We are just thanking an old man who is resting in peace for his advice beyond the grave. You are thinking into it too much. Take your argument elsewhere.",
"No, you were doing that and then adding some weird militarism on top, which is unnecessary for appreciating what he himself is saying",
"You didn't watch the rest of his channel so you don't know anything about that guy",
"People need to watch \"Maid\" on Netflix. True story about a single mom and her struggles. The system is designed to keep people down. If you're a woman, there's more difficulty. Black, add even more difficulty. Black woman. That's hard mode. Yet we don't want to teach CRT in schools. \n\nI don't think this old man has bad intentions, but he does seem like a \"bootstraps\" guy, and that shit is just not realistic. You need a hell of a lot of luck and support to make it. I don't think some people realize just how many impoverish there are and what they go through.",
"It's true that systemic change and aid is required to help groups in need, however, if you are an individual in a bad spot you really have no other choice but to try and get yourself out of it. You shouldn't just throw your hands up and say \"fuck it, I'm screwed, guess I'll just let myself die.\" Advice for an individual is different than what you'd prescribe for society as a whole. On a societal level, you want broad systemic change and welfare. For an individual who is poor and uneducated NOW you can only hope they'll attempt to work their way out of if it rather than sit back and wait for change that might never come.",
"what the fuck really? go look in the mirror. see that person? punch him in the face.",
"“Hey guys, what’s up. Be sure to like a subscribe, even before you watch this video”",
"The guy is trying to tell young people not to give up on themselves and your message is there is no hope.",
"We love our Western version of North Korean nationalism/ militarism. Don’t take it personally.",
"This video comes up a lot and I'm glad someone else see's through the bs. Here's some notes from last time this came up on videos: \n\n\n\"I quit school in tenth grade. Left on a street corner.\"\n\n(Okay so lets assume this man is what? 70 years old? So grade ten means he would have been around 15 years old. That puts us at 55 years back atleast. To 1966. This guy says the 50's so I guess we'll take his word for it.)\n\n\"I had a job working at a shell filling station. I was making a dollar an hour.\"\n\n(In 1955 $1 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $10.21 today.)\n\n\"I began working 90 hours a week. My home was the back of an old car.\"\n\n(That means this kid was making $918.00 a week, \\~$3800 a month. )\n\n\"Once in a while when I was really hungry I would go to the grocery store and snitch an apple or an orange.\"\n\n(Why? Why would you steal? Why would you be hungry making \\~$3800 a month. With that much surely someone would rent you a room? Particularly when rental prices were better back then.\n\nI could go on but this guy is obviously making up parts of his story. The fact he leads off with \"they sent all the jobs overseas\"; nah im not into letting some poorly planned appeals to emotion teach me to worship capitalism and blame foreigners for our woes.)"

"Oh wow, that video is a real special kind of stupid.\n\nIn the off chance that you're actually serious and not just a troll, evolution doesn't just put together DNA in a random order and see if what pops out is useful. It's an iterative approach where each new step just has to be marginally better than the step that came before.\n\nWe literally do the same process with computer programs and genetic algorithms. A large chunk of AI is developed in this way. That's how Google's chess program, AlphaZero, learned how to be the best chess playing program in the world in like 9 hours. They gave the program the rules of chess, and had it play itself over and over again, while making tiny, random, incremental changes to the program. After each iteration the program would make random changes to it's program, then have those new programs play each other to see if any of the random changes were beneficial. The ones that were stronger were kept to make the next generation, and the ones that were weaker were discarded. Just like how evolution works.\n\nI couldn't find the exact size of AlphaZero's binary file, but it's going to be much, much larger than than the 10-digit combination lock in the video. Even if we say the program is 100MB, the number of possible 'combinations' is an insanely huge number. It's a number that has over 30 million digits! I don't care how fast your computer is, it's not going to come across that by random chance.\n\nYet, AlphaZero works fantastically. At time time it was the best at playing chess in the world. So just like a computer that teaches itself to play chess through random mutations, organisms can develop insanely complex DNA and proteins through evolution. And while the changes to DNA are random, the end result is anything but.",

These include [duplications](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3497230/), in which a gene is accidentally copied twice, with the copies diverging in useful ways (this is how primates acquired our three-color vision, as well as different forms of hemoglobin); changes not in gene function but in how and when a gene is turned on and off, like [mutations producing lactose tolerance in milk-drinking human populations](https://www.nature.com/articles/ng1946); the repurposing of ancient genes acquired from viruses (one source of the mammalian placenta); “chimeric genes” cobbled together from odd bits of DNA (e.g., [genes producing antifreeze proteins in fish blood](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC34156/)); and simple changes in DNA sequence that alter proteins without breaking them ([tolerance of low oxygen levels in high-flying geese](https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1007331)).

To a lesser extent, you're less likely to catch and spread it, but that can still happen (especially with delta).\n\nSo, in effect, not taking the vaccine and/or not masking (when it makes sense to, like small indoor spaces with poor air circulation) is like purposefully flooding the backyard so the shark can more easily spread beyond the pool.",
"Or you can think that regardless of race, gender, creed or political affiliation that not getting a vaccination that can not only save your life and those around you who may not be able to vaccinated, but to do so based on misinformation and a lack of basic human decency is idiotic and is not based on any other bias than that.",

"This right here is a good question. Going to throw out some spoilers, if you haven't watched the movie go watch it, it's an amazing movie.\n\nOkay, first thing is that you have to recognize the time frame the movie took place in. Jaws was released in 1975 so there aren't going to be things like cell phones, cable television, the internet... etc for a few decades. People needed a way to distract themselves from the day to day.\n\nEnter Amity Island, white sand beaches, warm waters to swim in. People want some sort of simple getaway vacation and Amity is one short ferry ride away.\n\nSo this shark thing happens on the island, people are freaked out so the mayor puts a bounty out on the shark. The bounty causes all kinds of crazy people to show up and eventually someone catches a shark, they think they have it all buttoned up and the mayor wants to re-open everything. \n\nMayor gets people to come out to the beach but no one is going into the water. If people aren't going into the water, there is an underlying sense of fear associated with the beach. \n\nThe mayor needs the people to have a good time so they can tell other people it's safe so he drags his family out to the water which eventually causes everyone else to follow suit after which all hell breaks loose. \n\nSo yes, technically people could just not go in the water but the mayor over-rode their fear with a perception of safety which led to their immediate enjoyment that they were yearning for. \n\nTo put it into perspective. Imagine wanting to do something really bad. Being told hey no, you can't do that, it's not safe. Then suddenly you have a green light to do that thing. (sounds somewhat familiar)\n\nSo again, great question. Very good metaphor from /u/Sol5020 though the J in Jaws should be capitalized. Go watch the movie if you haven't seen it.",
"There is a difference between not giving money to creators and rewarding thieves. \nIt's like buying a rug from a street vendor, but before you hand over your money, the creator runs up defining the man you're dealing with as a thief. If you then, in the face of the creator, hand the money to the thief, you are rewarding thievery and encouraging continued theft. \nAnd sure, *your* view is worth a fraction of a cent, but to allow the stolen copy to remain and not replace it with the original amounts to many, many, many cents--something actually substantial--going to someone who did nothing but upload a video rather than the person who depends on that revenue to provide you entertainment. No money = no entertainment to pirate. It's such a nonsensical position to take when all it amounts to is you clicking this button instead of that button.",

If there was no difference, then it wouldn't be a metaphor.\n\nIn this case, to spell it out for you, the relevant commonality that everyone is seeing and talking about, is that both for Covid and for the shark in the pool, there is a number of easy, low-risk, very effective methods to reduce the risk, and a large number of people refuse to use them for nonsensical reasons.\n\nThat you can find all kinds of differences between the two situations is simply completely irrelevant to the metaphor.",

Did the rules change in that country? Did the schools open up again, shops, concerts... Did the mask mandates change, what was the weather like etc.\n\nSame goes the other way with this study, but the other way round.\n\nObviously it's impossible to factor the \"what ifs\" in, but it's never really adressed. \nSomeone will dig through my comments and see which side I am leaning towards, but I actually have more problems with the anti (covid!!!) vax side of the discussion. There is more cognitive dissonance on that side, wherease they should be way more meticulous, since they are trying to disprove the mainstream view. Pumping out stupid headlines without reading the background makes their arguments so idiotic. For example, some people say how great norway is for opening everything up and \"see? There are hardly any cases there\".\n\nYeah... because +80% of the people are vaccinated there.\n\nI don't know. I just don't believe either study too much since it's just too little time that has passed to be sure about anything, scientifically.",

The island is so tourism dependent that the 3 months or so of summer keep the island financially viable for the rest of the year.

He had borrowed money from the wrong people and needed a good year to profit from the real estate (rentals) in order to pay it back. The towns journalist dug into it and found his conflict of interest. This conflict and the island's economy led him to covering up the early shark attacks.\n\nThey finally decided to hire an experienced fisherman to make the problem go away but he too was eaten.

Or follow Ivanka Trumps advice and just go find a better job or create your own business. \n\nPersonal responsibility for your actions seems like a difficult position for you to face when you are trying to make a vaccination seem like oppression huh?\n\nJust an aside mRNA vaccines have been studied for 20 years genius.

"Being talked about everyday doesn't make it true. If there was such a issue with care being provided, I doubt they'd be firing nurses left and right. Not to mention, the million+ that were laid off when hospitals stopped doing elective surgeries and routine procedures due to the retarded lockdowns.\n\n Far more damage has been done by the responses to covid than has been done by covid itself. Yet there are still little cheerleaders like yourself happily bending over to take more.",
"Masks are not that affective protecting the mask wearer. They work better keeping the infected from spreading the disease. Meaning to get the best protection you need other people to wear the masks (and they in return get better protection from you wearing a mask). And vaccines are not 100 percent effective. And the less people vaccinated the less effective vaccines will be (and more chance a variant happens that the vaccines don’t work against). So, yes, you meeed everyone to make up and vaccinate to get good protection. Hell,if enough people vaccinated we could start going back to normal. \n\nAnd if enough people had masked up and been super careful when this disease first popped up we might have been able to get rid of it.

Other well tested vaccines that eliminated diseases which were common, were important to prevent young children, those too young to get the vaccine from catching and transmitting to others. Covid is currently killing older people, who are eligible to receive the vaccine",

"Many years ago I had a friend who worked tech at a venue and said he could get me in to the GWAR show for free but we had to go way early. So since I actually had no real job there I ended up getting enlisted to drive one of their guys around to buy supplies (since they didn't know the city). \n\nWe went to the grocery store and bought every powdered non-dairy creamer cannister on the shelf (later to be mixed with water and shot out of a fake dick). Also stopped by the thrift store to buy a simple black cotton sheath dress in big girl size, which I later figured out was the undergarment for the alien costume.",

I found that GWAR touch to be fucking hilarious. i think Oderus would shit all over the concept of greek houses in general but...maybe he'd appreciate the fact that they GWAR and used it to punish pledges. Second best frat party i went to in LA.",

Oderus is a something-billion year old intergalactic barbarian with a blood-spurting cuttlefish for a dick, born of a supercomputer and a petri dish.

And it happens more than you might think, if a job requires overseas travel, for example, you'll need to have a range of vaccinations. This isn't a new thing, it's just become a bigger issue with COVID.\n\nSo from the point of our human rights (in Australia) there is no violation by mandating vaccines in certain situations.\n\nAs for coercion, the word actually has a lot more meaning than just having a consequence for not doing it. For example, it's not coercion to say that if you murder someone you go to jail, or you don't get dessert if you don't eat your pumpkin. Coercion requires there to actually be some kind of ill-intent, telling someone they'll be fired if they don't have sex with you, for example.\n\nUltimately, it isn't coercion.",

If we have a healthy 30 year old that has already had the COVID, I dont see any reason they need more protection because they were never at risk.\n\nWith all of these mandates if it were about who is protected, then they would be allowing for antibody tests or some other proof would be just as important.

I don't trust the government or the pharmaceutical industry in general, neither of them truly have our best interests in mind (although many of the scientists/experts may, they tend to not have the final say, as is evident all throughout history).\n\nThe situation is unprecedented.

I have no doubt mandatory vaccination will be looked upon similarly to the Japanese internment in WW2 as one of the larger violations of human rights in the modern US history.",

Do you really not see the contradiction here?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIf you are worried about the 'many people' having adverse reactions to the vaccines, **how are the literal tens of millions of complications and deaths due to the virus not a** ***much greater*** **concern to you? How can one be 'low risk', and the much** ***lower*** **risk represent \"many people\" in your mind?**\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAgain, getting the vaccine just lowers your risks across the board, and we have plenty of data to back that up. This is one of those reasons that can't stand up to a *second* of honest scrutiny, so I wonder how you can maintain it makes sense. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nUnless this is the media narrative you have chosen keeping you from seeing reality.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>When they decide to start shooting people for not wanting to take the vaccine\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAnd when this never happens, you are going to take a long look in a mirror and ask how you got so manipulated with fear, and will change your perspective on the media you consume, right?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nOr is such self correction something outside your ability? I think you can do it if you try.",
"He seems to be attacking misinformation rather than the vaccines themselves. Still he's an interesting read.",
">Do you think the alternative media sources you seem to enjoy are somehow not more invested in 'lying and fear mongering', or is this you exposing your bias?\n\nThey are very few and far between and just like people none will be perfect but like with food, you try to make the best choices of what is available to you. I'm currently not watching any news b/c of other personal reasons but little by little I watch less and less and stick to a few sources. I do think we can glean some stuff from mainstream you just have to be very critical about what you take and how you process it. I personally stay away from anything that seems manipulative or fear mongering. \n\nIf you think mainstream media is center, you're not even paying attention\n\nI don't follow Project Veritas or support them but I am slightly aware of what they do. Project Veritas is the type of stuff they put out there, the drug for the people on the right. Same coin, different side. \n\nYou think mainstream media has accountability?! Now that's something. There is vital signs there and you do seem like an intelligent person. More than that you don't seem full of hate. You will actually discuss and ask questions and listen. I don't run into many people like that. You seem to be honest in your engagement or at least like your trying. But, there is no accountability in mainstream media. I could go into this if you want to change subjects. It is relevant to the topic though b/c we get a lot of information from mainstream media and we are shaped and molded by it. If will affect our thinking and beliefs. \n\nI would't compare Polio and Covid b/c there are many difference with those two. But the polio epidemic is a whole another animal we can talk about. Recently we've had the SARS epidemic (more deadly), Ebola, and H1N1. We also have the flu annually which causes many deaths. Also, the hit of the Covid-19 restrictions had other health repercussions in people with mental illness and other social factors. Suicide had an alarming spike during Covid. Domestic violence and child abuse went up a lot. And education for children specially low-income and minority suffered greatly. These kids will never recover the education they lost during Covid. \n\n&#x200B;\n\n>And yet those risks are magnitudes higher than anything associated with the vaccines, even for the young and healthy, and so repeating this talking point just proves you are not paying attention to anything I am saying, but just looking for reasons to ignore me and maintain your biased preconceptions.\n\nThat doesn't mean people want to take that risk just because it's low for the vaccine. It's low for the disease too, so why chance a severe vaccine reaction? \n\n>Sure, did you hear how his policy didn't actually force anyone to take in people they didn't think they could safely, and later contact tracing showed the people bringing covid into these places were more often visitors and workers, and not the old people who had gotten over covid enough to leave a hospital?\n\nThat's a new one, LOL. Sounds like the kind of mental gymnastics and manipulation the news media does to \"fix\" it. I will have to look into it. Yes I know the media was all over it, always after the fact well after. like months and years. That's not news! The news is supposed to be current not after they can't hide something anymore",
">They are very few and far between and just like people none will be perfect but like with food, you try to make the best choices of what is available to you\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAnd generally speaking, if you want news dispensed to you from an individual, the 'mainstream media' is demonstrably the best choice available.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nI agree you need to have a certain level of skepticism about anything you hear, but the fact that all news media markets toward emotion is a result of what sells, not some nefarious intent.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAnd the facts on covid as reported by 'mainstream' media seem to be mostly based on medical consensus, not some bias towards the left.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>I personally stay away from anything that seems manipulative or fear mongering.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIronic, given how you are phrasing your concerns over the vaccine. It really seems like you enjoy fear mongering that aligns with what you want to hear.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>If you think mainstream media is center, you're not even paying attention\n\n&#x200B;\n\nThey are much closer to the center (which is what I actually said) than leaning \"heavily left\" it has just become the entire point of right wing media to be contrarian to anything that could be considered the establishment, including medial science.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>You think mainstream media has accountability?!\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIn comparison to alternate media? Absolutely, people lose their jobs or are forced to issue retractions all the time over false statements, where Fox 'news' is able to say anything they want without repercussion under the guise of 'entertainment', and people on youtube are only held back by demonetization based on how much they make on ads relative to their sales of snake oil supplements, emergency rations, and coffee mugs, **and a huge part of their sales pitch is of course going to be distrust in traditional media.**\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>I could go into this if you want to change subjects.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIf you think you have a great specific example of the media not having accountability for something, we can discuss it. I don't care if you just decide we won't agree on this though, I'm more interested in the vaccine, but it seems like your distrust of the media is likely tied into your distrust of anything related to covid.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>I would't compare Polio and Covid b/c there are many difference with those two.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nRight, one difference being how much more deadly covid has been. Just ignoring this point is making it seem like you don't know how to address it.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>Recently we've had the SARS epidemic (more deadly),\n\n&#x200B;\n\nNo it was not.... Millions didn't die from SARS. If you meant the death rate of those infected, you know that is only one metric that determines how deadly a disease is, right?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nLike if a communicable disease has a literal 100% deathrate, that is very likely substantially less deadly than something with 1% deathrate, since it will have a much harder time to spread after killing the host.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nRegardless, none of those outbreaks came even close to a global pandemic, these categories exist for a reason.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>Also, the hit of the Covid-19 restrictions had other health repercussions in people with mental illness and other social factors. Suicide had an alarming spike during Covid. Domestic violence and child abuse went up a lot. And education for children specially low-income and minority suffered greatly. These kids will never recover the education they lost during Covid.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAnd even with the incredible scope of these restrictions, we still had hundreds of thousands of Americans die. Remember when Trump and his followers were mocking the experts predictions of 200k dead in a year?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nDon't you think society would have had an even greater problem than those associated with covid restrictions after several ***million*** Americans died in the 'do nothing' scenario?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nBut none of this is related to the vaccine at all, it just seems like you are repeating a bunch of talking points you have gotten through facebook memes.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>That doesn't mean people want to take that risk just because it's low for the vaccine. It's low for the disease too, so why chance a severe vaccine reaction?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nOk... I guess I have to say this again.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**Because taking the vaccine LOWERS your chance for a severe reaction. The side effects from covid are** ***magnitudes higher*** **than any associated with the vaccine.**\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**If you think a 1 in 100 chance of dying from covid is acceptable risk, why is a 1 in 500,000 chance of short term heart inflammation (which is also associated at much higher rates with covid) something to worry about?**\n\n&#x200B;\n\nCan you engage with this idea at all, or is this a literal blind spot for you? If you have to answer only one question in your next reply, please let it be this one.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>That's a new one, LOL. I will have to look into it.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nPlease do.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>That's not news! The news is supposed to be current not after they can't hide something anymore\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSo then you accept your narrative on how people treated the situation is manipulated and opposed to reality, and plenty of mainstream news sources got it right after the data had come out, which I guess is not fast enough for you.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nGreat! At least we agree on something, the early policy to put old sick people in those places was called out *even by mainstream media* as having been a bad idea.",
">And generally speaking, if you want news dispensed to you from an individual, the 'mainstream media' is demonstrably the best choice available.\n\nCan not disagree with this more.\n\nNot all of it is nefarious, but it's nefarious enough for me to not give them one iota of trust\n\n>Ironic, given how you are phrasing your concerns over the vaccine.

They are more about maintaining the status-quo whether that looks right or left, (I believe it leans left more but they do flip-flop in the long term of things)",
">Can not disagree with this more.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nThen give me a more reliable source that is not even less accountable than what you consider mainstream media.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nGood luck.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAnd to be clear, what about the mainstream media narrative do you find deliberately nefarious?\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>I did not become vaccine hesitant over night, and I was already vaccine hesitant long before covid\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSo you agree then that you are someone who enjoys fear mongering as long as it is something you agree with, as opposed to someone who 'avoids' that sort of media. Glad to help you learn a little about how you differ from your ideals.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nNow, is there a reason you avoided the one question I asked you to answer? In case you missed it;\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**If you think a 1 in 100 chance of dying from covid is acceptable risk, why is a 1 in 500,000 chance of vaccine side effects like short term heart inflammation (which is also associated at much higher rates with covid) something to worry about?**",
"fake. not one use of the word cunt.",
"The inventor of mRNA vaccines is against people treating them like a vaccine?",
"https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/qbz08o/first_responders_face_termination_as_vaccine/ \nHealth workers don't want the vaccine",
"Why are you avoiding answering my question? I don't care **who** does not want the vaccine, I care about **why.**\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSo again, \n\n&#x200B;\n\nIf you think a 1 in 100 chance of dying from covid is acceptable risk, why is a 1 in 500,000 chance of vaccine side effects like short term heart inflammation (which is also associated at much higher rates with covid) something to worry about?",
"Have you read his stuff? His own website literally says\n\n>Dr. Malone is the discoverer of in-vitro and in-vivo RNA transfection and the inventor of mRNA vaccines, while he was at the Salk Institute in 1988\n\nWhy are you wrong?",
"1 in 100 of dying of covid is not accurate. You have 1 in 100 chance of dying from covid if you get it. But what are the chances of getting it? Probably pretty high but you would multiply that times the chances of dying if you get it to get a more accurate probability of death. Take into account the percentage is a decimal so multiplying a decimal times a decimal gives you an even smaller decimal. Now, I did get Covid and so did some friends of mine. My family did all right. But we'd be in that category that did actually get it. The 1% death rate is probably for the general population. But correct me if not. Comorbidity greatly increases your chances of dying from it. I have no comorbidity but I am overweight. Healthy enough though I survived the covid virus. So I'm not thinking about that 1% when thinking about the vaccine. I don't take the vaccine b/c I don't know all the risks from the vaccine. Even if there are no serious reaction I feel vaccines make us less healthy, not more. I would rather try to be as healthy as possible and let my immune system be healthy and help me keep away and fight disease in the chance it does happen. We will not know long term effects of the vaccine for years and I'd rather wait.",
"I think reading his website counts as basic research and apparantly I can't even trust that so it's difficult to find somewhere reliable.",
"It is sort of amazing how often in these discussions it turns out the person with your point of view has already had covid. It sort of feels like a post hoc rationalization of the fact that you very likely infected and therefore injured or killed people with your actions. If you and your friends were fine then it must not be such a big deal. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nEven though all the side effects of the vaccine are now something you have to contend with at a magnitudes larger likelihood, somehow your chances of myocarditis from the vaccine are something to worry about, but you are fine with potentially getting covid again.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nYou know what else we don't have long term studies on? The effects of getting covid. If a single spike protein from the virus is something you are afraid to get in your body, why are you so comfortable with that one protein... plus the rest of the virus?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nEven if my numbers were off 10x in both directions favoring your position, the vaccine still represents a lowering of your personal risk, which is not to mention the risk of the people around you.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nBut this is likely a waste of time, since you are someone who has decided vaccines make people less healthy. **Which is an incredible privilege you have been given by vaccines.** \n\n&#x200B;\n\nI guarantee that if you were alive before modern medicine you would get pretty upset with someone saying something so absurd. Or you would be dead of polio or measles before you got the chance. Stop being manipulated by fear and get the vaccine, if you survived actual covid you can take the shot.",
"Yikes this guy is upset he didn't get the recognition he thinks he deserved as a self-professed intellectual and inventor in the scientific community, so now he's lashing out and appealing to anti-vax 'logic' so they stroke his ego instead. Why are you listening to this sore loser?",
"Yes, many people got covid. Me included. People who got the vaccine, previously had covid. It's so silly you're trying to make me feel dirty about having had covid. I know we don't know all the long term effects of covid. Please keep in mind i got covid waaaaaay before we had a vaccine so by the time the vaccine was out. Too late. I prefer to play my cards with science than politicians and big pharma. I don't trust either. Nature can kill but it's not corrupt and greedy like the big players of the world",
"I didn't get nearly as many vaccines as children get today. When I was growing up there was maybe 8 required vaccines and I'm from Mexico so maybe there was even less. Now days, children get over 50 dosages of vaccines from the minute they're born to less than 5 years old. most of those they get before 2. And we're still getting new vaccines. So you can't compare myself to children today",
">It's so silly you're trying to make me feel dirty about having had covid.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIf speculating about your motivations for downplaying the virus is making you feel 'dirty', that seems like something for you to work on, not me.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>I know we don't know all the long term effects of covid. Please keep in mind i got covid waaaaaay before we had a vaccine so by the time the vaccine was out. Too late.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**It's not too late, you can still get vaccinated**, and doing so would still represent a significant increase in your protection from covid, and thus is the lower risk, which is ignoring your risk of infecting others (again). All of your concerns over the vaccine are much more prevalent with the disease itself.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>I prefer to play my cards with science than politicians and big pharma.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSo what do you do when Science, Politicians, and Big Pharma all agree?

Or does this mentality only last while convenient?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIf you badly break your leg, are you gonna set the bone and make sure you didn't damage any nerves and tendons by yourself, and perform surgery to fix any problems like that? Sepsis is natural after all, but antibiotics for when you have to amputate are not.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>Now days, children get over 50 dosages of vaccines from the minute they're born to less than 5 years old.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n[https://www.healthpartners.com/blog/childhood-immunization-schedule-by-age/](https://www.healthpartners.com/blog/childhood-immunization-schedule-by-age/)\n\n&#x200B;\n\nWhy would new vaccines protecting people from different illnesses be a bad thing? Do you think someone getting polio or hepatitis when they are a child will result in a 'stronger' immune system?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAs someone who didn't have access to the chicken pox vaccine and who had a shingles outbreak in their 20s, I am happy kids today are safer than I was, but to you this somehow represents something bad. I for one am also glad this generation does not have to contend with genital warts the way yours and mine did.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nWhy do you think you are better able to make these calls than the doctors doing the science? Is anyone that does not agree with you just the result of corruption, or could you be falling victim to dunning kreuger confidence and alternate media propaganda?",
"You started this by saying this guy doesn't support mRNA tech and now you're changing you're argument to 'ignore his emotions'? The whole point of this is to figure out why he doesn't support mRNA tech and it's clearly not because of the science.\n\nHe is asked about his contribution to the technology and his very first statement talks about nobel prizes and getting credit. What's that got to do with anything? You still think this is about the science of the matter?\n\nHe thinks he invented it but he changes his own website to use the name everyone else gave it? So clearly he's not in control because he didn't invent it. He's one of 100s of scientists who contributed to it's creation but he's not getting the nobel and credit he thinks he deserves and now he's suddenly a revered icon in the anti-vax community. This is why he changed his website, to appeal to fools like you.\n\nThere is no science here. Stop idolizing him and see him for the ego maniac he is.",
">This guy doesn't support mRNA tech being used as it currently is and sold to the public to idiots like you eating it up and parroting what you've heard despite no knowledge of what they are and their limitations.\n\nHe's doing more than that. He's actively fighting against it because he didn't get the credit he thinks he deserves. You've been told this guy is the main inventor and 'the media is bad' therefore you're right and everyone else is wrong? You're a hypocrit.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>Can you not read?

Next you’ll be expecting a nobel.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>Yes, he's one of the main scientists who invented it. Did you read the change in his website? He didn't add that he invented mRNA treatments, he just changed it to call them vaccines because that's what they have been incorrectly labelled as. Like I previously said, there is potential for mRNA technology to make vaccines, these are not vaccines though\n\nWhy are you like this? An invention doesn't get renamed because others incorrectly label it. It gets correctly named by the most fitting definition. This man is not the inventor nor main inventor. He did not come up with the idea nor did he work on the final product. He has no control over something that isn’t his. His own research produced failures that inspired other scientists to create something useful. He's no more responsible for mRNA than the inventor of the syringe.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>You've literally mentioned absolutely no science or arguments in your post once again.\n\nCan you not read? I said there is no science here. It's an old man's interview attempting to confuse an issue to desperately get the Nobel he feels he deserves before retirement.

It's honestly just sad\n\nThe 'evil mainstream media' and the CDC both agree they are vaccines but your hero knows better therefore everyone else is wrong? Do you hear yourself?\n\nDefinitions are constantly changing to include new technologies and stay relevant. The word 'immunity' was never accurate anyway. A fully vaccinated person can still become infected if exposed often enough. 'Protection' makes far more sense. Is that enough science for you?\n\nYou live in a world where the kind old man with an ego must be right because he's kind and old. Please keep entertaining me with your fanatism.",

It's like arguing with a child. You've had the same thoughts over and over since the start of this nonsense.\n\nYou want scientific arguments because I'm sure you have some dredged up half clever response ready but you're ignoring the actual argument. Why does this man not like how mRNA is being used?\n\nI've answered this many times using a quote from the video you linked.

You imply mainstream media are feeding us misinformation, I was referring to them in the silly manner that suits you. Do you not understand basic grammar? I never included the CDC.\n\nMaybe something changed after those 40 years, a new invention perhaps?",

"Well, he's a converted Muslim and they don't look upon such things favorably. I have ZERO problems with Muslims, but I'm just trying to rationalize why he seems obsessed.

"How can one animal be so cute and so ugly at the same time?",
"Dude that’s his girlfriend",
"turn down the mic input, it's too high.",
"Came back to say this too. Also, get a spitscreen or make one the T's and K's are so raw",
"Yeah it makes sense. She really needs to put in some research into quality audio recording, structuring her scripts, and pacing her word flow. \n\nIt's a neat idea but if she'd rather quit on the views rather than learn to improve, maybe this isn't for her.",
"Actually find those videos quite interesting.. also that they are short and on the point is great. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nLooks like your gf only does Video like a month or so... you can't expect tons of views. It takes time for a channel to grow. Maybe it's worth to check some reptile discords for potential viewers",
"I think she's smart. She should find a new hobby.",
"Just up the production quality a bit. Add an intro and outro, fix the audio and these could be really popular. It would also make the video actually 1 minute to match the tag-line",
"Her views are always going to be low. I don't think something so short will be recommended by YouTube much. I thought 10 minutes was the sweet spot, and there's no way she could drag this out 10 minutes. \n\nWouldn't Tik Tok actually be a better platform for something like this?",
"Yeah she's thought about trying TikTok recently.",
"I think this is a good start for a neat concept. She needs to practice putting her enthusiasm for the subject into her speech, I'm sure she's excited about the content but doesn't convey her own pleasure to be sharing this knowledge. If she's only making them for the views that's one thing, but if she's making them for the fun of sharing something encourage her to keep practicing and take feedback from some of the other comments like pacing and mic input quality.",
"I feel, Youtube is the wrong medium for this.\n\nTiktok or instagram perhaps (where it is easier to share, like etc)",
"Of course her views are low, she doesn't tell people to \"smash the like button and subscribe!!!\". \n\nI'm glad she doesn't do that.",
"Production quality is too bad for it to ever warrant many views.\n\nBut that shouldn't deter anyone from quitting it. If she is enjoying it as a hobby, there's no reason to quit.",
"I like it :).\n\nEven Mr Beast took years to build his viewership to anything profitable. Not only do you need more time, you need to study what's required to grab views. This includes thumbnails, content, engagement metrics of viewers you do have, how do drive up those engagement metrics, and cross exposure with similarly themed channels. There's loads of work to make a channel successful. And 3 months isn't even enough time to define a strategy, much less become successful.",
"Audio quality needs work. The room sound is coming thru and the mic \"tone\" is... less than stellar.\n\nLarge condenser microphone is the way to go, there are plenty of them in the 100$ range. There are some that are dirt cheap but very decent, like Samson C01. AT2020 is one very widely used, Shure SM7B being a benchmark of sorts (but requires Cloudlifter or preamp of some kind).\n\nA pop filter is also a must, you can't record anykind of human voice without pop-filter that removes the actual air current that comes from plosives (letters P, T etc). We can't move away from the mic because of proximity effect, which is what makes the \"radio voice\" happen; that sweet, bass heavy sound. To use proximity effect we need to talk very close to the mic, even when it is a female voice.\n\nThe last piece of the puzzle is the room sound, we do not want to hear someone talking in our room while the sound is coming from their room. There is a slight disconnect if we aren't in the same acoustic space with the person speaking. To create that illusion we need to remove the room sound on your end. Keep a distance to every wall, acoustic panels or DIY absorption can help. Note: the cheap foam that is too cheap to be true, is not true. We need more mass. Fortunately human voice is not at the most difficult areas to treat so a mattress on the nearest wall can be enough. Side and backwalls are the most critical if the microphone is cardioid (which all of the mics i listed are, it means the microphone has some directionality), front wall is only somewhat important. There are no real shortcuts in acoustic treatments, something small and light is not going to do it properly. But the biggest error in most who haven't done this in some professional capacity will use a corner of the room to record, and that is the worst place in the room.. Sound follows inverse square law, distance double means four times less intensity.. That means doubling the distance to the nearest wall will lessen the reflections coming from that wall by a factor of four. Speaking close to the mic also helps to lessen the room sound, A LOT.\n\nFor audio processing, the use compressor and limiter is recommended (try to avoid noise gating, it is tempting but.. just don't.. if there is static noise in the background, leave it there. Noise popping in and out will make us notice it, constant static noise is soon hidden from us by our hearing system. If there is too much noise, the only real cure is to re-record again, without that noise). Audio processing can be done in post processing, in the editing phase. Short intro and outro would be nice, 3-5 seconds but no more.\n\nNote: Large Condenser microphones requires phantom power. There are separate phantom power supplies but far easier, and better is to buy a small sound mixer that has it inbuilt. This gives also more hands-on and immediate control over the sound levels, usually they also have some sound level metering that helps the signal have the best quality. So.. about 100-150$ range investment will up the production value to be more than adequate, and some DIY acoustic treatments does the rest. To get that quality 20-30 years ago would've been a LOT more expensive, we are talking what some would call \"professional\", so in those terms it is peanuts.\n\nAudio quality in Youtube has increased quite a lot in the last two or three years.. the competition does it better now. And since the content you create is really just audio, spoken words while everything else being stock/borrowed footage that some professional has shot, color graded and edited... you have to make sure your audio quality is at the SAME level. Script, rehearsing, practicing, improving the speech part... It requires a bit of work to get viewers, their expectations have increased especially during the pandemic. There are tutorials, practice advice etc for those that wish to take it more seriously, and taking it more seriously is the only way you can get any viewers. If either of you think this is too much.. then it is too much and you will continue to do it for your own pleasure and bother all the friends and family for years to come.. and they won't tell you what is wrong with it.. Audio and sound in general is not very complicated, it really is not rocket science at the user level. Few key principles and some hand on experience is enough. Oh, and love.. it absolutely requires love and care, in most videos audio is more important than the image.",
"Yea try tic toc. It's short attention span theater.",
"not until they post it on reddit about how discouraged she's feeling about her views",
"I'm not op, but this was very kind of you to write out. There are a lot of folks who could be enriched from reading this.",
"She should absolutely give up on this. Not only is she bad at it, but its also just a terrible idea in general.",
"audibly painful\n\nvisually beautiful\n\nget a better mic, work on post processing, and edit the script to flow better. also 1 minute isnt great for youtube. try tiktok or longer videos",
"I think you might be angry/upset?",
"Sorry, friend, I did not mean to make you angry/upset.\n\nI was just trying to share my honest opinion.",

"uhh ok, but that doesn't explain why people in the UK were similarly fascinated by it as well. \n\nAnd I had to look it up and she met him as his teacher when he was 15. YIKES. Yeah that is not ok.\n\nBut a 30 year old guy developing a relationship with a 17 year old? Also not ok. Even if the emotional connection is real, if you truly love someone you should realize when a relationship with you might not be the best thing for them. Even if both parties think the relationship is real, even if the relationship is *really real*, the 30 year has to know that the 17 year old doesn't have enough experience to know what's real and what they really want in life. \n\nAnd so even if they truly believe it's real they have to acknowledge that a person that young might not know what want/need, even if they think they do. I can't respect a relationship like that, because in the end the 30 year wanted the relationship more than they respected the need of allowing their partner to grow to make sure the relationship was real."

"I took the time to watch this incredible video from start to finish. I honestly expected it to be a shameless scientific case for atheism OR perhaps even the opposite, and get a view of why God had to have been responsible for creation. However, to my delight it did neither! \n\nThis video never mentions a higher hand in creating the universe or even a case against such a possibility. It does promote what I think are very insightful questions about our existence, and how wonderfully rare and special that existence is. All the while, leaving my faith or non-faith, depending on what I may believe completely alone.\n\nIf you have the time, I recommend watching this. After viewing this program, I\nunexpectedly walked away feeling better about myself and my place in the universe as a whole. \nCheers!",

"As far as we know, we are it. Scribble numbers and yell at the sky all you like, we are the only life that exists as of right now. Since this is the case and cannot be refuted then life, of any kind, is the most rare thing in existence. Look at the way we steward living things. We as a species understand nothing, but we celebrate and congratulate ourselves for our advancements in the sciences. Sagan promoted the view that no alien species is going to come save us so we need to work that out ourselves and we are failing spectacularly. Any argument to the contrary is lost in the roar of absolute silence from space and the observable universe. \n\nWe humans are either very rare and special indeed, or we are a hidden malignant disease that needs to be eradicated as quickly as possible. Take a look around the world today, what do you see?",

"\"Greatest game I've played all year. 8/10\".\n\nGenerally curious why it was an 8 and not a 9 or 10? What's your scoring scale based on?",
"Greatest game all year, not of all time. It seems like every game out there right now gets a 9 or a 10. Im trying to be stingy with the ratings, 9's are reserved for games that leave an impression on you that will last forever, either with a story or the gameplay. The games that you will play again and again your whole life. 8 is an amazing game. But not one that changes you as a gamer, if thats not too dramatic.",
"Don't even really need an intro",
"Gotcha. Makes sense to me. I've always been a gamer. For over 35 years. Your review intrigued me. I've had my eye on Little Nightmares for a while. Never played the first, but I've only ever heard great things about the series.\n\nAppreciate your response. And I thoroughly enjoyed your review. Looking forward to more 90 second reviews!",
"I thought the same thing, but i was told by a few people that alot of the people you are interested in following, is based of an interest in the person and what they have to say. Otherwise I am just another faceless voice making a game review. As much as that even makes me cringe saying. I think im gonna dabble in doing just intro's and maybe popping up every few seconds...but leaving the rest of the video just gameplay. Im gonna play around a bit",
"At least make it under 90 seconds. Thats the one thing that makes the videos unique.",
"I love the format. I haven't watched game reviews for years, but now I feel I can watch all of them!",
"But he's pretty..",
"Exactly! You can binge them all in 20 minutes. Talk about a bargain!",
"Im gonna make the intro shorter, and shoot for exactly 90 seconds. Shooting for a timer on screen, so the actual review is exactly 90 seconds",
"Pretty solid, man!",
"Perfect"

"Perfect shot at 0:18",
"It's scooping up water, that's cool footage.",
"Yup, here's the wiki on the \"[super scooper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Scooper)\" plane.",
"Basically, they have a huge water tank with bomb-bay doors to dump it all at once, and then a forward-facing scoop in the belly of the plane (basically a a large pipe). They skim the surface of the water, dipping the scoop. into the water and the speed of the plane fills up the tanks in seconds.",

"and kudos to the camera man!",
"I caught myself saying \"pull up! pull up!\" the whole fucking time. Man that's some ballsy flying",
"It's a bit more risky, sure, but that's legitimately how the planes are built and designed, and what the pilots are trained to do. It's like the Chinook pilots who are trained to do [Spec Ops water extractions.](https://youtu.be/JcxFqzNGtjY) I'm sure it takes a special kind of steel nerves though.",
"I like to think that it really is duct tape on the top, holding it together.",
"This seems like some risky shit. How do they get insurance?",
"That's a Bombardier/Canadair CL-415. If you look closely you will Quebec on the side of the fuselage. Quebec Government Air Services has 8 CL-415s (turboprop) and 6 CL-215s (radial engine). They are leased out to other jurisdictions when possible. Other Canadian provinces have similar fleets.",
"is this footage of training? was only a limited view for a couple of seconds, but i saw 2 individual trees on fire without flames on the ground. maybe purposely set on fire for practice?",
"the most american question",
"The colors and the crazy flying made me think of the TaleSpin plane",
"The pilot already knows there's enough room to scoop water and take off, otherwise he'd never attempt it. That plane is the Bombardier CL-415, and it needs 1,340 meters of flyable space for a full scoop. And by \"flyable\" I mean with sufficient clearance to fly 15 meters above ground or water. The plane flies in at 15 meters, dips down to scoop up water (requires 410 meters of water contact to fill tanks to capacity of about 6 tons), and then return to 15 meter altitude.\n\nIf the water body is shorter than that, the plane can partially fill the tank instead. And if it's really short, the plane can simply turn around 180 degrees on the water and scoop the other way.\n\nThis place was specifically designed for scooping water to dump on fires. If the fire is close to the water body, it can make about 6-7 round trips per hour to scoop up water and dump it.\n\nViking Air bought out the manufacturing license of this plane from Bombardier recently, and they're currently upgrading it to the CL-515. The new model will have more capacity (7 tons of water) and will need even less flyable space to fill its tanks.",
"Incredibly accurate flying aside, the weight shift must be immense. Thread a needle, drag your belly through the water without losing too much speed, and then take off again several tons heavier up the side of a hill? Unreal.",
"What? I’m not American and I can’t think of many countries in the world that wouldn’t insure operations like this… pretty sure he’s not talking about personal health insurance.",
"They hire really experienced pilots. Although insurance is becoming a major problem for floatplane operations, due to all the death.\n\nAlso these are mostly operated by governments and militaries, or under government contracts. Insurance isn't a problem when the government is paying for it.",
"Interesting, thanks for the color. Guess it makes sense that it is a government operation so no insurance."

"They’re really selling that Dwayne Johnson is gonna be super different in the role, but he’s played the same character in the last six movies. Tough but sweetheart of a guy. Hobbs in F5,6,7,and 8 felt rough, but since those he lost that trait. Force-fed image to the audience. He wants his cake and to eat it too, but I’m losing interest.",

More of the same Batman, same costume, same tone, same character.",
"No visible blood.",
"They need to take a couple pages from the newer spider-man movies. Marvel knew to respect the viewers time and cut out Ben's death because everyone knows it. DC needs to learn the same. We know why Batman does what he does, stop showing us that and just give us more Batman being Batman.\n\nDC's biggest failure sometimes is forgetting that movies don't always need to be immediately relatable to the viewer. They don't NEED to show you the why, they can just imply it and give us more of the result instead.",
"Did they just spoil the entire movie?",
"Yeah it did a good job of leaving an impression on the audience while showing absolutely no blood.\n\nIt's why the Carnage movie was so disappointing to me. I was sad to learn it was PG-13 but hopeful they'd work around it. Nope, Carnage just was never shown doing anything remotely brutal. Just throwing cops around like any CGI villain.",
"I think Rob Pat has slowly been earning his street cred. Pretty much every indie film he’s been in the last few years has been a killer - he’s gone from being the latest teen idol to taking roles I could have seen young Joaquin Phoenix taking. \n\nI’m interested to see what he brings to this.",

"I think directors are like \"Guns, pearls, and slow motion... I can't resists.\"\n\nDC has the problem of Warner Bros. and their execs being involved.

Maybe they can learn, but probably not. Sony has the same problem.",

They're at a point now where they have to reboot characters too, though - but I think they're being smart about it. You need an \"Iron Man\" character, but it's going to be Riri Williams and not Tony Stark. \n\nI still think we'll see RDJ back again one day, and Chris Evans is already in talks to come back for Fantastic Four 4 as Cap.

"The trailer's too good for a 1/10. Worst this can be is a 4/10.",
"The problem with Bale is that he is terrible at playing likable characters. He is AMAZING at playing crazy parts, but when he has to be charming or likable, he always comes across as cold and hollow. It works for Batman because he has to play Bruce Wayne like an entitled prick to the public. But even in those moments where its just supposed to be Bruce and Alfred... he lacks the ability to convey likability. Look at a line like \"Does it come in black?\" from Batman Begins. His delivery is weird. You think what an actor who plays a likable leading man could have done with that line. But Bale just can't convey that. Even though technically that would probably be what a real life Bruce Wayne would be, for the audience its unrelatable.",
"You’re damn right, kid.",
"Also his dumb voice and the ugliest of all suits didn’t help.",
"I feel similarly. Also, as much as I love Andy Serkis, casting him as Alfred just feels wrong.",

"Because it's not just about looks. Farrell is damn good at character ~~rolls~~ roles. Yeah he looks good, but he also can do a ton with his eyes and tone of voice can.\n\nNow that said. Could they find a good ugly actor? Probably. But Hollywood is notoriously averse to taking risks so they know Farrell has worked for other roles and they know other actors have gotten a lot of notoriety and free press for fat suit roles like Christian Bale's Dick Cheney. So some uncreative producers think they're being super creative by putting 2 and 2 together.\n\nedit: typo",

They woke up one day and saw Marvel finally hit the goldmine both studios wanted from the start: superhero films that could become a financial juggernaut instead of a one-off summer ht.\n\nSo they rushed to try to and repeat the process and missed literally everything that makes the MCU popular. Colorful personalities, colorful visuals, and above all *fun*. Outside of Birds of Prey and a few moments in the two Squad movies, the DC films just are not fun. Dark and gritty has its place, but not when you're trying to one-up the biggest film franchise in history.",
"Looks horrible, especially whatever that car was, definitely not the batmobile. That is not Selena Kyle.\nAnd it's just \"Batman\" not \"The Batman\"",
"They're not rebooting characters. They either replace characters through plot events or replace actors. You don't need to reboot an entire franchise just because you lost an actor.",
"You’re not alone. This trailer felt like a Batman highlight reel edited by a committee of 10-13 year olds. What the fuck is the STORY here? What is the state of Gotham? What is the Riddler up to? Where is Bruce Wayne right now? What’s he dealing with? \n\nNope! Just bullets, bat mobile and punching. \n\nSeriously DC I know you know that people are going to see this movie no matter what kind of trailer you put out… but could you be bothered in the slightest to do something, anything to raise the bar? Even an inch? No?",

"> They need to take a couple pages from the newer spider-man movies. Marvel knew to respect the viewers time and cut out Ben's death because everyone knows it. DC needs to learn the same. We know why Batman does what he does, stop showing us that and just give us more Batman being Batman.\n\nI have a huge respect for Netflix's Daredevil for this reason. We see the progression of the superhero grow as he gains his skills and parts of his persona like the batons and suit. It would be really cool to tie Matt Murdoc back to the MCU, and hoping we see him in the next Spidey.",
"I don't think there was a single original or interesting moment in that entire trailer. This feels like a movie designed by committee to crib every recognizable concept from the last decade of batman canon. Robert Pattinson isn't doing a Batman impression, he's doing a Christian Bale impression. And similarly this version of the Riddler just seems like it's going to be a discount version of Heath Ledger's Joker.\n\nThe result is a movie that lacks any identity of its own. Just a lazy continuation of the tired trend of dark, gritty, gravely, and psychopathic Batman.",

"Looks like they made the christianiest baleiest batman they could, sans christian bale, and found a cinematographer that's half art house noir, half Michael bay. So... I'm interested. Cast is superb.",
"Also they had no patience. They should have had solo movies for their characters and fleshed them out. Your audience doesn't know or give a shit about a sympathetic, vengeful Batman yet because we don't understand him. We get a quick flash that Bat Affleck was jaded for a reason, but that didn't really get time to breathe. \n\nWe didn't even know the Wonder Woman character until after the BvS movie where she just pops up. Then the Justice league came out and all of these characters just pop up and the whole thing is just rushed. Marvel does a really good job of introducing or fleshing out a good majority of their characters first before cashing in on the huge ensemble Avengers movies. The first Avengers film the only characters who didn't have a movie first was Widow and Hawkeye, but she was introduced in Iron Man 2 so we already were somewhat familiar with the character and Hawkeye in Thor.",
"except this is matt reeves? a renown fantastic director?",

I much prefer the more realistic character archetype that Nolan became famous for. I literally shut the Justice League movie off in 15 minutes because it was so freaking boring. Give me a plot first, then a good Batman second. Also, Pattinson is by all accounts a better actor than Ben Affleck.",

This movie would have to be drastically different and much more stylized to set itself apart and that doesn’t seem to be the case. \n\nI hope I’m wrong, because I love Batman, but who would want to watch a dollar store version of the same Batman we’ve seen in the Nolan trilogy without Nolan’s writing and directing behind it? \n\nThis isn’t the time for a new Batman movie imo. The Dark Knight movies are *still* too fresh, even years later. They came at a time when Batman was on the ropes and totally reinvented and refreshed the franchise but that’s not what’s going on today. Batman is not viewed as a joke franchise that desperately needs a reboot in its dying hour like it was before Nolan took over—I think most people feel that Batman was *perfected* in the DK trilogy, and that there’s 0 call for a reboot, especially one that looks almost the same but...worse.\n\nSo maybe this movie is the Batman we deserve, but not the one we need right now. That’s what I’m trying to say.",

"This one also just doesn't really look all that great from the trailer. It seems like another one of the DCU movies where you have a basically invincible hero with barely anything that could be described as a personality going through a series of meaningless action scenes to get to the end of an uninteresting story.",

"The Twilight Knight",
"You can reach a balance of dark and goofy. BTAS managed it.",
"Why should it be different from the others? It's already different in the world of shiny, courful Marvel/Disney superhero movies.",
"IMO it feels closest to the the dark knight. batman begins and dark knight rises were similar but this and the dark knight have a similar grit and darkness...\n\nalthough I'll say that this one looks DARKER and GRITTIER than any of the dark knight trilogy. I'm not sure I'm thrilled with this direction because it is a bit samey from what DC has been doing with all their live action for ages now but it doesnt look bad which is a relief. it even looks pretty good, which is more than I can say for almost every other live action DC production since the dark knight trilogy.\n\nit would be nice to get something else but DC seems to just wanna continue to put all their money on dark and gritty, even including a lot of their cartoon stuff which is somehow even more fucked up a lot of the time.\n\nI miss 90s cartoon batman and the camp of batman and robin kinda stuff. More comicbooky and less... graphic novely?",
"Yeah. Looks amazing. Fantastic reset.",
"His Bruce Wayne is good, his Batman sucks.",
"Eh, I thought that trailer was poor. And it got mediocre ratings, not irredeemably awful ratings.",
"Not digging emo Bruce Wayne.",
"I didn't say that's the only batman that would ever work. That is, however, the main batman everyone recognises and the best version in my opinion. \n\nBut way to assume and attempt to be patronising. You must be very intelligent.",
"They could certainly make the character less 1D than \"look he's so obsessed with riddles that he draws question marks on everything!\" And they could have been a little more subtle. I like it when movies don't tell you everything and instead give clues.",
"Equally, 10/10. \n\nThis looks like absolute schlock",
"A stand-alone Affleck movie would have been good. He looks great as an older Wayne and instead we got him shoved in that terrible Superman movie.",
"Seriously so much untapped Batman potential and they just want us to relive the Nolan years all over again.",
"Lol exactly what I thought. Why not hire a guy that looks the part? But I love the dedication to his craft so I’m on board.",
"Seems like this portrayal of Batman is actually kind of a sadist, will be interesting to see how the character is fleshed out.",
"Already my favourite Batmobile ever.",
"Thank you for getting it, that’s probably the direction Batman needs. Make it a detective movie disguised as a superhero movie. Throw in some BTAS Art Deco while you’re at it so it can be a noire. Something other than this shit all over again.",
"I watched them recently, and they're definitely similar enough especially if a lot of people are drawing the connection regardless of what you think.\n\nit's not a bad thing to be similar to something that was widely celebrated though. don't really care all that much that they're similar, but they definitely are. I think the BIGGEST difference is that this one looks to be WAY darker shot for shot and has almost like graphic novel lighting in plenty of the shots we see?",
"One thing Marvel could use is less of the terrible humor.",
"DC was still involved during Nolan's tenure.",

"That’s typically how Reddit rates things already anyway.",
"Eh. When they aren't trying to force a cinematic universe they're usually pretty good",
"I don't know... I think Btaman is one of those mythical archetypes that benefits from reboots and reinvention, sort of like James Bond.\n\nThe same does not apply to characters like Superman.",
"There are tons of interpretations of Batman and his pathos. I'd like to see the Bruce Wayne who doesn't even bother with the playboy persona. He's not even in the public eye.",
"bored with gritty crime and mobsters. bored with gunfights. bored with pretend martial arts cheerleading routines set to fake punch sound effects. bored with near future military tech. bored with car chases that end in explosions. bored with sexy actresses in catsuits pretending to be trained killers. bored with villains who want to burn it all down. bored with their whispered threatening one liners. bored with DC superheroes. bored with the other superheroes. bored with whatever universe hollywood wants to sell me. \n\nits all\n\nthe fucking\n\nsame",
"Man, I really wish Jim Carrey would reprise Riddler but do it in the new darker style... this new guy reminds me of the Scarecrow from the Nolan films.",
"They were also involved also during Batman and Robin. No one is saying that all DC movies are bad, but they are very hit or miss. Marvel movies (under Disney) have been far more consistent, but never reaching the same high DC has been able to. Never reached the same lows either though.",

"Batman Begins (and other Batmam stories) have established that the billionaire playboy persona is an act that Bruce Wayne had to develop. Prior to the premiere of this trailer, Reeves noted that this version of Bruce Wayne has yet to clearly define the two personas and is still in the early years of figuring it all out, so your observation seems like it was actually a deliberate choice.",
"I was exactly you until I heard the casting. Totally not interested in a sparkly vampire playing Batman. Just like how I'm a huge Venom fan and got pissed when they cast Topher fucking Grace to play Eddie Brock. And I ended up being right. The movie was awful.",
"because colin farrell's a well known (and excellent) actor",
"I liked just about everything in this preview except... Bats is just bulletproof suit wise now? Hopefully he's wearing some sort of special outfit. I'm fine with a bullet proof suit, similar to vest we have now, but taking 20 rounds in a row at point blank is dumb. Batman isn't superman. He's supposed to be at least a little worried about getting killed.",

Everything has to be perfect. The hair, the lines, etc. Nothing feels natural.",
"Ok alls I'm sayin is that its not on the level of the joker tattooing damaged on his head . The Riddler having question marks is perfectly canonical for his character. He would ask for a question mark if he ordered a coffee in the comics.\n\nAnd especially if he was about to be arrested, it's his calling card that he always leaves behind as a bread trail for Batman.",

"When snyder isn't involved it tends to be much better",

"I actually didn't hate Snyder's take on things. The visual style and broad themes he explored were interesting and stood apart from the MCU, but I think he struggles with non - action filmmaking which stood out way more with DC trying to skip all the setup the MCU did to get to the Avengers payoff.",

"The best thing about the newest DC movies has been Affleck’s Batman. In fact, Batman is the thing they gotten consistently correct for a very long time. If the movie is even a tenth as good as the trailers have been, The Batman is going to be a *very* good movie.",
"I feel the same, can’t get excited, it just doesn’t seem polished for some reason, like it’s in super pre production or something, not sure what it is, just something is off",
"For me it's those English teeth, especially when Pattinson yells. I'm surprised they didn't give him a dental appliance.",
"Yeah agreed I’m tired of the super dark takes. I’d prefer a 91 animated series styled one. Also Robert Pattinson was a poor choice for Batman, however I think he would’ve been perfect for a Batman Beyond movie which I’d rather have than a normal Batman movie anyways.",
"Yeah as long as he's not actually bleeding the censors don't care.\n\nHollywood is weird.",
"This is all I want",
"The ol' Robocop conundrum.",
"The LOOK is not similar at all. Color palette and tone are so totally different.\n\nYes there are a few shots that are similar, that's it.\n\n\nPeople are drawing a connection because it's the same franchise. But if you go and look at frames from TDK and this you'll see they look nothing alike.",
"Bob Iger was good about letting Kevin Feige and Marvel do their own thing too. Same with Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau with Star Wars. I worry about Bob Chapek taking Disney down the same path that WB did when it comes to having too much creative control over their best-performing properties.",

"Being almost fully bulletproof against handguns is pretty realistic",
"Maybe you just don't like movies?",
"I understand the concept, but the question mark in the coffee was more like what you’d see if Jim Carrey were still playing as Riddler. It just didn’t work for me.",

"I’m SO SCARED!",
"Watched the trailer and didn't even know Colin Farrell was in this until this comment",
"Ah right I forgot about that. It’s kinda crazy how early Disney jumped on the Marvel train, so at this point I just group all of the MCU under Disney’s banner",
"Riddler live streaming means this takes place I modern times, so I think they are going for more contemporary",
"FUCK. I want to see this.\n\nLooks awesome.",
"Totally understandable. To be honest I had to check myself because I completely forgot that Hulk movie existed.",
"Cyborg eats bullets, Jack!",
"Nolan’s Batman was *never* so brutal that he beat a criminal to the point that it freaked out Catwoman. He was never shown snapping arms and punching a dudes face in that was already down to the point where you could hear sickening wet crunch of collapsing skulls. If anything, this seems to be closer to Affleck’s Batman.",

"I’d rather have higher highs and lower lows than the mediocre slop so many Marvel fans gladly shovel into their gullets. The MCU has produced a grand total of 3, maybe 4, “good” films. The rest are forgettable cookie cutter nonsense. For all of the many failures of titles like Batman and Robin, number one, you’re still talking about it, and two, at least it was *committed*.\n\nDon’t get me wrong — this isn’t a DC be Marvel thing for me, but comparing some of the DC properties to some of the Marvel properties, there’s no doubt in my mind that there are DC films that will still be regarded as masterpieces (Dark Knight) in 30 years while no marvel film could claim the same.",

"That’s a hell of a plot twist, that it turns out penguin was Colin Farrell the whole time!",
"His parents were shot in an alley while rooting through the garbage. On that day, Trash Man was born",
"So… Robert Pattinson went from one type of bat man, to Batman, huh?",
"He's Batman",
"It just looks like a worse version of the Nolan/Bale movies. Nothing better, some things worse.",

"1080p is slowly but surely becoming the new 480p in 2021",
"It's been getting progressively worse over the years. I kinda get why, but it freaking sucks nonetheless.",
"Not even bruise. That many rounds the the spalling is going to fuck up his throat. It didn't look like there was a catch layer to the body armor (or with that many rounds it would have been pretty shredded anyways). He should have tons of little hot metal fragments in his jaw",
"Nah, not quite there yet (but not much longer either!). Lotta folks don't have 4k monitors yet. I do a bit of color-sensitive work, so upgrading a single monitor is almost never <$800. Gotta wait for one that'll keep me happy for at least another 10 years.",
">\tor did he receive his coffee then put his own question mark in it?\n\nJokes aside, you can see his hand coming up off the coffee when the cops told him to put his hands up. So literally he was fingering the **?** in the coffee himself.",
"Same, I'm not feeling particularly excited about this. I feel like Dark Knight Trilogy was pretty great. Also I'm totally not feeling Pattinson as Batman...\n \nReally hope I'm wrong.",
"Well, that looks like a batmobile downgrade.",
"What have I not seen before that I was just shown?",
"Exactly my thoughts. (Some) people are just trying to hate on anything related to this movie, it seems.",
"Idk, it could suck, but I'd want to see it in context.",
"Yeah this new trailer has way too much going on. \n\nI was really hoping for something almost similar to Se7en, with Batman chasing after a very dark version of the riddler but being one step behind. \n\nSomething really highlighting the horror/thriller and detective aspects of Batman. But now we have action sequences and Selina and Cobblepot which means less time on the central mystery and character of E. Nigma and a serious tonal shift from the first teaser trailer.",
"Still doesn’t make the movie look any better unfortunately",
"Far worse places to take inspiration from, but personally, I felt like the song was also taking notes from the grittier parts of the [bladerunner 2049's](https://youtu.be/ipGNuFXubL8) score (the first few minutes of that link are a decent example), which is also a solid place to take inspiration from",
"Kinda hard to aim in pitch black room while everyone’s getting their ass beat",
"Almost as good as Sixth Sense when it turns out the guy in the hairpiece is Bruce Willis all along!",
"unironically, not a half-bad title for a movie",
"Because Colin has a recognizable name, is more guaranteed to make the production companies money, and he probably has the right connections in the business. Acting isn't so difficult that amongst the hundreds or thousands of actors in the world that look like the character, somehow Colin Farrell is the only man with the skills.",
"I just want a true-to-comic-book version of Bane for once. He is such a cool character, why do they have to butcher him so badly?",
"Honestly, I think it would make more sense for Wayne to *not* be overly concerned with philanthropy. It fits the current sentiment towards the uber-rich as being selfish and fixating on their own actions being the only way to enable change instead of funding larger scale, less flashy, changes (bezos going to \"space\" for example).",
"With prep",
"Okay, it's inspired by Nirvana.",
"Same for me. I was expecting something mind-blowing. This trailer has put things in perspective for me. I'm now hoping for an ok movie.",

"Fucking attractive people stealing our jobs. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING ELSE, LET US HAVE THIS!",
"I watched it twice and this was (very) surprisingly good, BUT.....\n\nLikes: everything with Batman in it, except...\n\nDislikes: \nthe Batmobile\n\ntoo much Catwoman; she was in the trailer just as much as he is, is it 'The Batman & Catwoman' ??\n\nthe Riddler talking like he just binge watched The Sopranos\n\nhundreds of bullets being walked through with ease and somehow none hit his face, not even a ricochet\n\nThat's all I can remember without watching again.",
"Am I the only one who doesn't buy Pattinson as Batman? All the closeups of his face and the action shots looked terrible. Like he's a little kid wearing his dad's suit. \n\nWhen he banged his elbow against the glass, I laughed. His face and feeble slam were hilarious.",
"They are all turds. I saw the Nolan flicks years past their release. And after all the hype they sucked next to it.",
"Absolutely. What do people see in this…",
"Yay. Another slowed down dramatic version of a popular song.",
"Meh. DC takes itself far too seriously.",
"Eh. Doesn’t look any different than most of the other super hero’s movies.",
"Should he backflip away from the bullets like in the animated series/comics?",
"Can Batman just die already? How may reboots they going to do? Move on,. Shazam will be a better franchise than this dark shit.",
"They had Danny Devito the first time. Little makeup needed. He nailed the role.",
"Zoe is a good casting choice, for sure....but at the same time, the whole thing looks both terribly ponderous and like it's trying so hard to be oppressively grim-dark it risks becoming self-parody.\n\nIf I do bother watching this, it'll probably be for Zoe and not much more.",

"He's not wearing hockey pads",
"No.\n\nHalf of his face is exposed.\n\nIf a single shot did hit his armor, it’s causing deep tissue bruising, and possibly internal bleeding.\n\nMultiple shots? Just get out of here.",

"It's 2Dark2Night so I turned 2on2lights on the Batmobile",
"Being a billionaire isn’t a “Nolan” thing though. It’s sort of an axiom of Being Batman.",
"A thing that Nolan leaned into somewhat heavily. Lots of Batman stories hardly deal with him being a playboy. \n\nThat being said since Catwoman seems pretty prominent I'm sure he'll be involved in some high society stuff.",
"Insane take",
"> but he doesn’t come off as a billionaire playboy philanthropist.\n\n......we've seen maybe 2-3 shots of bruce, and it's mostly him at the funeral or taking off the cowl. \n\nbased on that , it's hard to say he doesn't pull of the playboy philanthropist part",
"You're thinking of the prequel The Fifth Sense starring Dr. Dolph Lundgren.",
"Batman is always a detective first. Think more like the Robert Downey jr Sherlock Holmes movies.\n\nIt’s not gonna be a detective movie. If you’ve seen the Arkham games, you do a lot of detective work using gadgets and stuff in the game. It’s more like that. \n\nThere’s this comic book of Batman that I can’t remember the number of the issue. It’s about a serial killer who kills people by drowning them and Batman is in a race against time to find him before he kills his next victim. A very good detective comic book that has Batman. He eventually uses his gadgets to rescue th last victim but for the most part of the comic it’s him trying to parse the clues to find out where the next victim is gonna be.",
"Oh cool…. Thanks to this summary, I’ve basically watched the movie.",
"there is no way any conclusions can be made from the two trailers\n\nthe sole nolan connection is they're both more grounded than the 90s Batman..........and that's it\n\nthe description the director gave is they're going for a noir detective story - and as good as the Nolan movies were, they had zero detective/mystery elements outside of the lame fingerprint on a bullet scene. and it certainly wasn't noir. \n\nby the time the movie comes out, it'll be 10 years since the dark knight rises, that's plenty of distance, especially considering there was an 8 year gap between Batman & Robin and Batman Begins\n\nBesides, at this point they're like a Bond franchise. \n\nLastly, while Nolan's movies were good, i think most would agree in reality only Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were great. Rises sucked. And the Joker carried The Dark Knight. \n\nBottom line - the movie is supposed to be detective/noir which is totally different from Nolan, it'll be 10 yrs, and there is plenty of good Batman stories to cover.",
"Yeah, and am I'm saying nobody is ever going to do that because when you pay out your ass to make a Batman movie, your investors are going to want some level of grandeur and scale. They're not going to allow you to create a passion piece based on a cult favorite story arc from the 1980s or whatever, they'll want to see the biggest and flashiest stories.",
"I'm guessing you haven't shot an actual gun before. Certainly not an automatic.\n\nIf you thought head shots are hard to pull off in a FPS in the comfort of a padded gaming chair, imagine how hard it is irl with a maniac dressed like a giant bat, usually in the dark, who's constantly moving around in odd ways normal people don't, and you have a ridiculous amount of adrinalin pumping through you because you know, if he gets a hold of you, he's going to 50 Shades of Fuck Your Shit Up.\n\nYour going to instinctively aim at what you can see and hit first. This is why I like Michael Keaton's outfit with the yellow symbol on this chest. It's a bullseye that tricks you into aiming at the most well-protected part of his suit \n\nNow how you effectively kill someone is you pop a few in a person's chest. THEN when they fall, you aim for the head. If there's multiple threats, I would limit 2 per chest (no less though), then when each is down, pop the first guy you shot or whomever is closer if the first guy is far away, then go down the line shooting them in the head.\n\nFor Batman, if he doesn't close the distance fast (he often does), a shotgun loaded with a slug with high-powered light attached (turn darkness weapon against him as it will momentarily blind) blast to the chest at semi-close range to knock him back combo'd with a headshot with your most accurate pistol. Make sure you're fast enough before he uses his gauntlets to shield his face.",
"> trend of dark, gritty, gravely, and psychopathic Batman.\n\n.....that's what Batman. Sane people don't dress up like Bats avenging their parent's murder by taking on crime\n\n>it's going to be a discount version of Heath Ledger's Joker.\n\nbecause all the fans (and they were the majority) who dismissed Ledger's Joker before they saw the movie were 100% right back then too..........oh wait",
"> He's supposed to be at least a little worried about getting killed.\n\nThis Batman does not seem to give a fuck about dying.",
"Remember that season in got where we couldn't see shit in the dark, It was traumatic. And watching this brought that trauma back.",
"If they stick to the detective/noir story promised, this could be the first good comic book movie since the Dark Knight",
"Zack Snyder's Justice League was pretty good. His involvement in the reshoots literally saved that movie from being a confusing, disjointed mess in 2017, to something actually worth watching.",
"It looks not good from the trailer. I regret seeing the trailer.",
"Batman The Animated Series.",
"...wait, isn't she what we're all here for?",
"Whoa! First, I was like that's totally Nolan, then after, wow, that's totally Villeneuve! Can't wait.",
"We literally got that. That's what LEGO Batman is and that was a solid movie.",
"It's a character reveal, so yeah, likely not even in the final movie.",
"Oh okay",
"Its not like there arent films like that. Its just that alot of end up being too weird for most audiences and bombs in the theatre.",
"Meh. Just looks like another lame attempt at batman. Hopefully the whole movie will change my mind.\n\nI'm looking forward to Black Adam and the Flash movies way more.",
"Yeah I thought this was suppose to be more \"detective batman\" oriented. Then you see this trailer and its almost entirely action.",
"It is flashy. It's not some cult story or anything. What people are saying is that most of the movies show batman as a brawn over brains kinda guy. Like all I see in this trailer is fighting fighting and more fighting. When in reality, his fighting skills are not his best trait (even if he is one of the best at it). He is supposed to be like sherlock holmes and a fighter too. Like show a scene where he anaylzes everything a room before the bad guy even hits a punch. There was this really good part in the nolan movies where he finds out the kind of gun and bullet used in one of the murders using this machine he has in his batcave. more stuff like that.",
"I've been hoping for years they play batman as a near psychopath with only his black and white moral structure keeping him from being a villain. The other movies tend to play him as obsessed but essentially good. I want to see the Batman that is basically a criminal, but just playing on the \"good\" side, like Rorschach. \"I am vengeance\" is a cringe line but that should be the point of Batman imo. A hero shouldn't be about vengeance. He should be in Arkham himself.",
"Hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it, right?\n\nLet's just reboot the DK trilogy every few years with a different batman actor and [insert random villain here]. I wonder how they'll show the Wayne's death this time. I'll bet they'll show those pearls flying each time, huh? Fuck it, lets recreate it scene for scene next time. Eventually the entire cast will be digitally replaced with ewoks, and the weapons replaced with walkie talkies.",
"The Dark Night",
"*-histories",
"You're right. How can anyone watch this who has seen Batman on the big screen over the past two decades and call this exciting? NOTHING NEW. NOTHING! I seriously do not understand.",
"Again?",
"Thought exactly the same of exactly the same scenes. It's so obviously a call back, but a good one? You don't want to call back to scenes from a different Batman movie, when your movie is incapable of distinguishing itself from said Batman movie in the first place.",

"Bro are you talking about the blue people movie? That Avatar has nothing to do with The Last Airbender, lmao. There is no TLA movie.",
"I think people are mentioning it due to the shot of him slowly walking up to the dudes while they maintain concentrated fire on his chest. His chin stands out as the only non-black part of his body yet they somehow fail to shift their aim upwards 12 inches to hit it.",
"Or 10/10 with rice",
">It just looks like the same Batman they’ve been doing for years\n\nSo badass, enjoyable, and the best that DC movies have to offer? Sounds worthy of at least a little excitement to me.",
"We can only hope it is so good",
"I don’t like movies now that comic con won",
"Bales' Batman was severely lacking in the genius inventor and world's greatest detective parts, so idk about \"thats what batman is\". TBF, all of the live action Batman movies focus way too hard on the action shit and miss the detective bits which is a shame because his whole tag line for the longest time was \"World's Greatest Detective\". If all he does is pop out of the shadows and beat people up then he's hardly a detective, he's just a bruiser.",
"I don’t think anyone in this thread actually knows who Batman is",
">brilliant\n\nYou and I have very different interpretations of that word.",
"Marvel has been cranking out the same film for 10 years, not like dc cant attempt to do the same.",

"I was thinking the same. I’ll go and see it but it’s getting old hat.",
"Probably using auto aim",
"I think it is a 1. It might not be the only movie with badly written characters and plot but it commits the worst crime an already bad movie can commit: It's fucking boring.",
"Batman is doing what Ninja Turtles should be doing, and vice versa?",
"If it's a 1 that means it's on par with shitty fan movies with incoherent stories bad cameras and godawful acting. Atleast you follow what's happening in it . And there's characters that do things and have motives.",
"That would be nice. He drugged the barista and switched places, knowing that the cops were coming for him. Then he just *had* to do the question mark because of his ego. Now they think they have the riddler and he has the cops off his back for a bit.",
"Will there be nipples?",
"He has a jaw made of steel though, it's fine.",
"Robocop still had a brain and part of a digestive system.\n\nWhich now makes me wonder how did he poop?",
"In some of these scenes I feel like Pattinson is giving this the kind of performance that Heath Ledger gave his Joker in DK. I'm very cautiously optimistic to see what he does.",
"Kinda like with music, there’s only so many notes to work with. A batman movie is *going* to have certain elements in it. It’s like ordering a meatball sub from a sandwich shop. It’s going to have bread, cheese, sauce, and meat balls. Individual components that make up the sandwich can differ, and you could add stuff to it; homemade bread, a spicy sauce, sausages… But if they remove the meatballs, then it’s not a meatball sandwich anymore.\n\nIt’s fine to not enjoy what you don’t enjoy, but there *are* certain parameters that the movie must adhere to to be a Batman movie. He’s definitely going to fight crime and dress like a bat. He’s going to have dead parents and a butler. There’s going to be over the top villains and choreographed fights. Sure, they could explore some other aspect of Bruce’s life, maybe late childhood or doing his day job, but people kinda want to see him do Batman stuff same as they want meatballs on their meatball sandwich.",
"Where did you get the idea that this riddler was going to be anything like heath’s joker? They’ve shown literally 1 scene of him lmao.",
"DC probably makes the best trailers of any major film studio out there. So good, in fact, that they’ve grossly misrepresented many of their movies to actually *be* good movies!",

"Even the fucking shot into his armor that I swear I've seen 3 to 5 times now",
"It's also worth noting, automatic weapons are hard as fuck to shoot accurately, there's a reason many weapons feature a \"burst fire\" mode. So if you're spraying into a motherfucker you're going to be focusing on controlling the muzzle climb and it can be difficult to let it climb enough to hit his head for example.",
"It’s not just Batman movies it’s all action and sci-fi and fantasy and historical drama and adventure comedy. It’s all meatballs. Hollywood thinks we like meatballs so much they spend all their money on meatballs",

"Pffftt! Obviously it moves on to year tw……oh….I see….ummm….",
"To me, it looks like they're trying to tell a pretty mature grounded story here. Like, I don't think the riddler and batman are going to have a big CGI fight in this one. So in that regard, they're the same as the Nolan movies. Both are movies about comic book characters that show what a comic book story might look like in a realistic setting. But in addition to that the costume design, the batmobile design, the \"bat-gadgets\"-design, and the bat-cave design all look why more grounded and realistic here than they do in the Nolan movies. We'll have to wait and see, but based on what I've seen I think these movies are actually **more** grounded.",
"Yea I don’t get it. There’s many good actors that could have filled that role. But let’s see he makes that role amazing.",
"Part of the issue is money. Whatever makes good money will be emulated. It’s why we have pop music. Studios want to maximize profits so they look at the market and copy what’s being done. If someone wants to experiment and do weird, creative stuff, they will have a hard time getting funding. Supply and demand. People *do* like the meatballs!",
"Man. Thought I was the only one. I watched the teaser like 10 times in a row. This trailer I watched once and was like “ok, cool.” I mean, it’s Batman so I’m in no matter what. But I’m actually happy to be knocked down a peg. I’d rather go in with lower expectations.",

"Maybe he IS Superman dressed as Batman in that scene?",
"Yeah but when I try to brainstorm something that *would* be a departure while still being Batman, I have trouble. Future Batman? Girl Batman? Batman becomes the villain? Batman goes crazy and hallucinates everything? A second Batman emerges and they fight? Or team up? Batman hired by the CIA to prevent international crimes? Batman takes down a Mexican cartel? More detective noir stuff?\n\nI just don’t see branching out too much being a good idea. Maybe for another franchise, or a completely new one?",
"Batman is supposed to be the good guy right?",
"Batman took like 20 point blank shots to the chest in the hallway scene like they were nothing. Jumped from a fiery explosion with ruble flying all around him landing a few stories below and did a superhero landing. Those scenes felt more like Snyder's Batman than Nolan's Batman. I agree that this will tell a mature story. But, action wise this won't be as grounded as the Nolan films. So far this looks way more like a comic book brought to life than the Nolan films.",

And sure yeah, assemble a squad and sent them to kill evil belly dancer is the plot of the movie but it's still an incoherent mess. The characters have motives? What? None of them want to be there, they have no chemistry until at some point the movie decides that they're emotionally invested now because suddenly they love each other like family and want to protect each other. Maybe the real motive was friendship all along, amazing writing. But I sure am glad that there are characters that do things. You're right, it's now a 10/10 movie because characters indeed \"do things\". Fuck, I love movies where characters do things, I wish every movie had characters that did things.",

"Every movie that tries to tell a realistic superhero story has the problem of guns. Most will just conveniently have goons without guns or goons who miss every shot or goons who forgot that they could use the gun they are holding or goons who refuse to use their ranged weapon as a ranged weapon. The Nolan movie employed all four of these tropes to get around the problem of guns and I don't think that makes them more realistic. You can either have actual unrealistically good armor that requires suspension of disbelief or you can have plot armor that requires suspension of disbelief. Neither is at all realistic, but one at least tries to give a pseudo-scientific explanation. As for doing crazy superhero landings, check out this one [https://youtu.be/-FW9Sqxb-4o?t=134](https://youtu.be/-FW9Sqxb-4o?t=134) completely unscathed! There are so many comic booky stunts in the Nolan movies, the one in the trailer doesn't strike me as any more unrealistic than half the moves Nolan's batman pulls off.",

I never realized how weird that was until now.",
"My only nitpick with this trailer is that it feels claustrophobic in its cinematography. It reminds me more of TV than cinema. I'd like much, much wider shots. I just compared it with the Batman Begins trailer and either the problem is that the sets are much smaller and studio like, or that they have too many center shots. Either way it doesn't feel like a blockbuster movie, I think I'll see this at home instead.",
"If you filmed yourself taking a shit that's not a movie. It wouldn't be rated 1/10 because it's nothing. Something is only a movie if it has some kind of plot to tie scenes together with characters doing stuff, that's like the basic definition of when something can be qualified as a movie. It's not already automatically at least a 2/10 just because it has those things. The Room also had a plot, it had characters that \"do things\" and who have motives. But all of that was horribly executed and that's why the Room is a 1/10 just like Suicide Squad. A movie doesn't get pity points because it **attempted** to do things, it only gets points if it did those things **well**. That is true for the Room, so it's also true for Suicide squad.",

There's a plot and there's a character with a goal. None of that sounds at all good though and the director doesn't seem to have any faith in the project whatsoever, so yes, I assume it will be a 1/10 just like Suicide Squad. Because your movie doesn't get any points just for doing stuff, it only gets points if the stuff it is doing is good.",

And I'm not even saying that either of those movies is perfect because nothing is purely perfect. All I'm saying with a 10/10 rating is that it's as close to perfect as something can be and that I will recommend these movies always.

Also judging by the reception this is getting here and in the /r/movies post I presume making a flashy action flick will make them more money as teenage boys will be the primary audience.",

(And we know this from real world) so yes you could design something for a billion or so dollars that would be light years ahead of anything used in mil. Because we can’t afford 1 billion in armor for every soldier.",

Batman, Black Widow, Hawkeye/Green Arrow, whatever. I don't care how many times Triplicate Girl practices her \"I'll split into several people right before the bullet hits\" maneuver, a guy with an automatic rifle and a full clip kills all of her. And gymnastics won't save you.\n\nHow many times did Peter Parker get slammed into a brick wall hard enough to leave a perfect Peter-shaped indentation a foot deep in brick or concrete? You know what you call a regular person that happens to? Jelly. That's what you call them, because they're a liquid or no longer have an intact spine. If half the people in the universe reappeared after 5 years, they would starve and civilization would collapse because the infrastructure to feed and water them no longer exists. Clark Kent's glasses would never hide his secret identity. \n\nIt's part of the deal. If you can't muster willing suspension of disbelief, you can't enjoy the movie.",

From what I've read this is Bruce's 2nd year as Batman (sensing a prequel) so he's not learned an real lessons or perhaps never gone against a true supervillain.\n\nThat's what I liked about Joker. Yea it wasn't accurate to how the Joker came to be but was intriguing to watch things unfold, the struggles, and conflicts that built this Joker's character.\n\nI want to see Batman go through the same development. Batman Begins attempted to do this but still struggled with shoehorning it in to an action flick. We all know who Batman is and vaguely aware of why. But I'd like to see the missteps, mistakes, and lessons Bruce learns from that makes him who we are all familiar with.\n\nBattinson......nice",

"It's not so much a theory as a fact. Lucas was a big fan of *2001: A Space Odyssey*. When Kubrick was directing 2001 he used a lot of classical music as temp tracks. He ended up liking it so much he elected not to use to use the score that Alex North had provided and just keep the classical. So when Lucas was making Star Wars he wanted something that sounded like 2001, which meant that Williams based a lot of his score off of the music used in 2001.",
"Well doing a bit of reading on it, it sounds like Lucas had used The Planets as a temp track or wanted The Planets as his soundtrack and wanted something similar if he couldn't use it. So that's what Williams was asked to do. (maybe)",
"I really wanted this to look good but it just… doesn’t. Look like more generic crap.",
"Yeah, good thing these technology didn’t exist a few decades ago for Danny.",

"Pubes. \n\nNo, wait…that can’t be right.",
"I'm asking because he posted this on a trailer for a live action Batman movie, and with that caveat, the answer to your question is yes.",
"Why won't they show Danos face!!!!! Lol",
"it tested very well in early test screenings so hopefully they'll keep up the quality until release",
"The side of compelling conflict where people actually try, thus making the resolution of that conflict more satisfying.",
"No.",
"Ehhh.",
"Ahh, guess you meant the Michael Cera movie then.",
"Honestly I'm getting sick of grimdark Batman",
"No, he's talking about The Last Airbender movie. Live action. It sucked so badly that you didnt even know it existed",
"It's kinda dumb to put on a fetish suit to fight crime but I'm digging it.\n\nShow Bruce take the suit off to reveal intense bruising, some skin breakage, maybe a comment from alfredo about this doctors warning he might die the next time he takes multiple high velocity shots to the vest.\n\nEdit:lol just realized my great idea was in a nolan one.",
"I restarted all my network equipment, because I thought my connection had gone to shit. Ruined the experience of seeing the trailer for the first time.",
"It kind of looks like an amalgamation of the past 4 batman franchises, and nothing about it seems fresh. Robert Pattinson is a good actor though, maybe he will add something new.",
"the writers need to fix this for sake of intelligence. they need to stop with half the face exposed, and make the enemies so dump they always aim for the body that is covered with adamantium armor.\n\nIf Bruce had adamantium face then I can allow this to pass.",
"I really don't mind them remaking Batman every 5/10 years, whatever, it is what it is.\n\nWhy on earth though do they insist on always slamming 5 villians in each movie? Why are they always the same- Batman is unkillable and angry? All these actors are different ages and the last few Batmans have been at obviously different stages of their Bat-careers, why not play around with that type of stuff more?",
"He paid each bullet 10k to fuck right off",
"No it wasn't. His face was stretched over a metal skull, it wasn't his real head.",
"Yeah, I hate that. I appreciate realism. If he’s going to get shot, have it be once and it puts him down. For the rest of that scene, he should be visibly struggling. For a few days after he should clearly be sore. Etc.\n\nNo body armour on earth would protect you from automatic gun fire at point blank range.",
"They also extracted a usable fingerprint from a shattered bulled that was shot…",
"Hell yeah, came looking for this. That full quote would be nostalgic af and give me chills (while others would probably get cringe shivers).",
"With more and more 4k videos from wars and terrorist acts, these action movies look more and more unrealistic",
"It’s sucking the money and the air out of the industry",
"I was super worried Batman was going to sparkle…",
"Chaotic and lawful are mutually exclusive. Either you care about the law or you don't. The batman I know is probably chaotic neutral. Does he use his billions for good? No, he uses them to inflict unilateral vigilante justice on the mentally ill.",
"Into the spider verse pulled it off",
"Way too much complaining about Batman being too bulletproof. You guys realize this is BATMAN right? He probably has some fictional high tech armor that's beyond the real life stuff you guys are all arguing over.",
"I know you’re kinda joking but the new Flash movie will have Ben Affleck Batman and Michael Keaton Batman. So there’ll be 3 active Batmen in DC movies for a moment.",
"Exactly, the thought that you can be a good enough marksman to just shoot someone in the arm or leg to stop them is ludicrous. Surely there are few that talented, but your everyday Joe burgler, cop, or homeowner is not.",
"Its not just this batman movie. It’s all movies over 100M budget",
"I don’t listen to any top 100 songs and then I still complain that music isn’t varied. Radio I can sort of avoid but I have a kid and superhero movies are gonna be on the menu",
"I'm waiting for the \"THE BATMAN – The absolute 100% Main Trailer, promise\"",
"iiii dont know. might not see it. like a 50/50 feel",
"I like how, afterwards, he gets up like “well shit…that didn’t work”.",
"I also thought it looked ridiculous when they lighted him up! But since he is a superhero, even though he does not have any superpower besides being super rich, I imagine he has better armor than what's currently \"out there\" on the market.\n\nGrapplegun is another thing which is ridiculous but kind of cool if you can roll with it.",
"Seriously though, how are people still not tired of these superhero movie remakes? Do people hate seeing something original?",
"Yeah, I wish people stop trying to say Batman has no superpowers and say their version is grounded in reality then show him taking machine-gun fire to the chest with zero effects.\n\nIf you want a realistic Batman, you need to give him plausible gadgets and suits, otherwise, you can give him any superpower and claim \"oh it's just something his suit/gadget can do and he financed and invented it because he's so smart.\n\nHe's basically just Iron Man in some of these shots.",
"I'm not watching batman again until they make a campy version",
"Yeeess",
"I’m sure since it’s a DC movie, the next installment will have being bisexual",
"Isn’t that literally what this one is?? I remember reading that this Batman is going to be a lot more detective focused.",
"Dano is a good choice for a darker riddler.",
"I like the way DC Titans portrayed him. Even Dick Grayson called him a psychopath and the reason for his weird \"isms\" a number of times.",
"Even those are still not truly 1's IMO. A 1 would have to be complete and utter gibberish. No matter how terrible those two movies were, it can be much worse.",
"My problem with this movie is the lame actor that made twilight. His past is cursed for that movie, why they contracted this guy to make batman? That movie will probably be horrible because of him. They should called Christian bale to make a older batman",
"How many Batman movies til we get Batmen?",
"Didn’t he also pretty openly refuse to do the full gym (and probably gear aka steroids) to get the huge ripped look during the COVID downtime?\n\nI like actors without unrealistic body standard, but this is, y’know, Batman. The character himself (Bruce Wayne) is supposed to be that ripped and fitness obsessed.",
"Are they going to join all these dc movies into a shared universe? It all seems so disjointed with justice league, suicide squad, joker and now a new Batman and flash. I can see phoenix’s joker and this Batman coming together though",
"No.",
"Bro I think I would know if there was a live action TLA movie. Theres not.",
"He's actually a great actor, dude. Did anything in the trailer lead you to believe that he would be bad in this?",
"This is wierd. Trailer like in the old times, where you don't get to see whole movie or connect plot.\n\nFuck you for getting my hopes up",
"I'm that guy who doesn't like it for that reason. I can't say what it is but if the tables were turned we would hear all about it.",
"Woah, a gritty batman remake. This is exciting and new!",
"Jim Carrey where?",
"I'm definitely joking, and I'm definitely not down with this batmen and spidermen phenomenon. I find the movie offerings these days really stale and I'm still trying to decide whether it's me getting old or new shit being shit.\n\nOne thing I do know though is that reddit's spell check has a problem with the word spidermen but it's O.K USA for batmen.",
"I just hope this is reaches the expectations",
"Ugh, totally get you.\n\nBatman and Spiderman are the two worst offenders. 20 movies released, 25 fuckin' movies where in the first five minutes, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS TO UNCLE BEN / THOMAS AND MARTHA WAYNE !!!1!!",
"And then I heard Colin Farrell turns into Johnny Depp!",
"I don't get why you're so adamant about this. 2010 M. Night. Shyamalan movie titled \"The Last Airbender\" based on the show. Get rekt",
"I'm completely ok with this. The dark knight films are some of my favorite. I'd love for another and if this is it then hell ya.",
"They were but IMO they were just about enough. We’ve explored that dark gritty universe. It was a great niche of the super hero world. But DC is trying so hard to make more of that and it just doesn’t work.",
"He's actually older than Christian Bale was in Batman Begins.",
"Lol the 6th Sense guy? Nah, man. There is no live action ATLA movie. Would be cool if there was one though.",
"I work with someone who likes the first one and they said it was better than the second one. I had to walk away from the conversation before I got irrationally worked up over such a bizarre opinion.",
"This one in particular, probably not. JL/SS universe already has Ben Affleck as Batman\n\nEdit: maybe they could use Flashpoint if they really wanted to introduce some “alternate universe” but I don’t think they will - the Batman in Flashpoint was still the same Batman as in the original timeline, and this Batman is still Bruce Wayne, so it’s not like they’d be different people even in-universe. I just don’t see it happening",
"The pubes are just the part above-ground, like a root vegetable. Yank on the hair stalk and up pops the pootato 🥔",
"I hate that I watch trailers. It feels like they just showed us way too much in the movie. It's a Batman movie, people are gonna watch it no matter what, why show so much of the movie in the trailer?",
"I think Batfleck was a good Batman/Bruce. We just didn't get enough of him as Bruce in the movies he was in.",
"Saw this a second ago, and was like, *another* batman, man this is becoming repetitive like the last 3 spider mans I didnt watch... Press play.... OH THE RIDDLER, AWESOME, HYPE",
"I really hope not. I’d be happier with an independent Batman story that isn’t trying to fold itself into any shared universe or trilogy. It might be an unpopular opinion but I think when studios try and force things like the MCU into other characters and stories it makes things a lot less creative, and a lot more contrived. It would be fantastic to see a movie like this take a few risks and try to tell its own story without trying to set anything up.",
"Bro even if there were a TLA movie there's no way in hell the fuckin Sixth Sense guy made it hahaha wtf",
"Most people who are taught to shoot humans are taught to always shoot center-mass.",
"I don’t just consume msm. I find what I can but I’m bored with most modern entertainment. It didn’t used to be quite like this. The templates are firmed up now and inviolable. I’m even more disappointed with the utter waste of creative potential the gaming industry has become.",
"At least no Ben Affleck",
"Or it was straight up panic shooting. Seeing a guy beating your fellow mates, and just casually walking towards you in dark hallway, would be terrifying itself",
"I know they snip different scenes together for trailers, but it definitely looked like Batman was beating the shit out of someone and the police were like shook, watching him? I keep wondering if what you said will have a big role in this movie. I really dig what we’ve seen so far.",
"Uh Batman has been they only one they HAVENT rebooted the fuck out, or at least the least most.\n\nWhy are they’re 17 Spider-Man’s",
"so the riddler works as a barista making question mark latte art",
"Looks great. What an excellently cut trailer",
"But also follows a strict code of ethics, giving him lawful qualities!",
"I liked him 25 years or so ago, BECAUSE of the smug assholery. I was a teenager and grew out of it, while he grew in the opposite direction.\n\nHis recent take on taxing the rich, with his bullshit self-serving excuses, makes me want to fucking slap him.",
" Guess I am the only one that liked B v S. 😐",
"I agree he just needs a good editor because that mother was loong and slow af.",
"I’ll check. Appreciate recs. I thought Journey was gorgeous. Following Stray with interest. Disco Elysium looks like a great counter example but tbh we are still horribly locked into genres. Potential of VR for genre busting is enormous but I’m afraid the money will get us to conformity just like consoles have.",
"Finally someone said it! Same reason I stopped reading newly released movies discussion threads. Everyone tries so hard to do the 'gotcha analysis' they forget to enjoy the movie, too many people finding the 'plot holes' and questioning characters every small decisions (Stuff like, why would a character do this instead of doing that? Answer: Because the writer wrote him that way) Not everything has to connect or has to have logic. I blame the 'film analysis' YouTube channels.",
"I'm reserving judgement. He takes a handgun shot with significant staggering, then tanks the full auto. I'm assuming it'll play into him developing his gear throughout the movie. That's pretty standard for a Batman feature. But yeah, hopefully it's used sensibly. Like as a one-off body armor saved for the ending, or he does take considerable damage from it and the injury plays into it somehow. I wouldn't mind a Vader-esque hallway scene, because it's from the perspective of the goons, so Batman *seeming* invulnerable is scary as shit. Only for the audience to find out that it really fucks him up.",
"https://i.imgur.com/GgnLzP6.gifv",
"They figure that out if season one is popular enough. Otherwise it was just a \"limited series\".",
"5/7\n\n7/5 with rice",
"Because guns are fuckin hard to shoot that accurately especially when you are incredibly stressed out against a moving target that wants to break your bones.\n\nMost people at the handgun range struggle to even hit paper beyond 15m",
"I think the Flash movie is Flashpoint? If that's the case they'd probably use that justify wiping the snyderverse and shifting to a new continuity",
"Hollywood Batman seems to be mostly 3 things now: weird color palettes, *artistic* filming techniques, and explosions. I really hope they prove the trailer wrong and remember he's also a really REALLY good detective, especially considering who the villain is after all, but eh supposedly it did well with previews or something so that means lots of things blowing up I guess.",
"Still has nothing on [I'm the goddamn **Batman**](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/164/882/panel.jpg).",
"are there? The Bond movie phoned in all the same bullet points on the template. What a fucking snore. \n\nI welcome any reccos but [take a look](https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/most-anticipated-movies-of-2021/) at what's anticipated for 2022",
"I see the exact scene I described, tbh.",
"I do seek out new things but I am constantly disappointed. It's a timeless complaint but times are actually different now. We are having a creative crisis just as technology is enabling creativity.",
"i’m with you. i’m still going to see this but man I feel like we get a new batman/ spider-man every 4 years. how many batmans do we need lol",
"superhero burnout is a good term I am pretty much on the same boat. I feel this way with the new spider-man",
"There is literally 5 seconds before the barrier where you can hear the motor struggling and then it sparks and snaps it definitely failed regardless of barrier",
"Heard it’s Bruce Banner",
"Why is there yet another batman reboot, so soon?",
"Clearly you are unaware of James Bond Franchise if you are asking these questions.",
"Reddit doesn't have a spellcheck. That's your browser.",
"Damn you just got me excited again for Boba Fett coming at the end of the year!",
"I didn't know he was a comedian until I was told that he was. Even still, I talk about it in the past tense because I havent heard him say anything funny yet. He just 'was' funny, a 'long time ago'.",
"I hate all the DC movies for the most part, but Batfleck's suit was probably my favorite ever seen on screen, that includes this new one. Reminded me more of TAS Batsuit.\n\nEveryone tries to make batman's suit more armored or realistic, and here I just want him to be super mobile and jumping from shadow to shadow.\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lJvEiDiPcE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lJvEiDiPcE)\n\nIn this scene you almost feel he is supernatural and provokes such a fear response from the cop. Shame about the rest of the movie and character portrayal.\n\nEDIT: Also the Martha Rescue was pretty great as we finally see Batman fight with primarily gadgets the entire fight instead of grunting and being brutish like Nolan's batman.\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7GWGLkPepU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7GWGLkPepU) \n\nAnd when we finally see him engage in hand to hand combat he is quick and smashes people through walls and stuff. Again maybe not realistic human depiction, but really sells the POV of thugs seeing him as super inhuman.",
"It's more like Batman is never gritty enough. Give this movie five years, and people will telling us the next version of Batman will be the REAL gritty one",
"Doesn't everything test well in screenings?",
"Just annoyed.",
"a weaker chin would be less of a target",
"Probably he didn't write that himself either.",
"giving away action is ok, i'd rather they do that than giving away story details if there is a good mystery",
"I hate to say it but this looks like a Batman show on the CW.",
"I guess I'm saying that it's just going to be an action movie with, at best, a mediocre detective plot that serves only to push us from action scene to action scene.",
"He looks like a fkin teenager. He looks like, I could beat him up.",
"more like between trash and watchable. For sure this won't be good.",
"It looks terrible, because once again, they've made Batman out to be this brooding, broken, brute out for revenge, and that's not Batman. Batman is a scientist, inventor, investigator, and brilliant tactician. As a last resort, he kicks some ass.",
"The visuals, the dialogues, the actors, the music …. It’s all good, but nothings making me excited to go watch it in theaters. I will always treasure my memories of watching Batman Begins and The Dark Knight in theaters.",
"but mah pahenths",
"Unpopular opinion. But that Batman was not my Batman. He lacked a lot of the tortured characterization, wasn't a very good detective, and for my money relief a lot on technology to do a lot of work for him. I'm personally excited to see a Batman working on his own tech, doing some actual detective work, and beating the shit out of some criminals along the way.",
"It’s not normal body armor. He’s incredibly intelligent in this film at the Tony Stark levels. He’s also extremely rich.",
"Your saying this like this is a carbon copy. I personally see some core aspects of Batman and a few story similarities with TDK, but the characterization seems totally novel. Imo that was the biggest issue with TDK trilogy. Bruce was never really a great Batman. This looks like it might get that part right.",
"This Batman seems a lot more true to the comics than the Dark Knight version. He seems actually angry. He seems like he's involved in the actually detective work. Looks like he makes his own tech rather than raiding a secret military wing of a billion dollar corporation. He seems like he's out to hurt people. Honestly other than being Bruce Wayne/Batman, this is a very different character. \n\nStory wise, it does have a lot of similarities to other Batman stories we've seen.",
"Characterisation seems way different than anything in the TDK trilogy. Story seems similar to TDK tho, I'll admit.",
"Huh? Are you talking the cinematography is too Hollywood? Cause it really doesn't look like a Batman in any other movie.",
"It looks good tbh",
"Why is some of the audio so bad? All of Bats' dialogue sounds like it's recorded in a bathroom.",
"Imagine being entertained by a solid 7 lol\n\nMovie/game reviews are all so inflated, it's nuts.",
"Gustav Holst has influenced so much modern day theme songs, it's nuts.",
"Its a great nuance I always loved. I like when super heros fuck up. For batman is so much more grounded, cause hes not got any powers other than training and his inventions.",
"I haven't been a Batman comic collector but I've always wondered why his enemies don't just lure him in and pay a trained sniper to put one through his mouth. Why someone like Deadshot hasn't done this by now is beyond me, but I haven't seen Batman address this outside of \"comicbook magic\" where Batman somehow detects the shot or the shooter in the nick of time, or he gets shot in a non-fatal area.",
"The side of logic and realism",
"Being bulletproof is one thing, walking towards/into a hail of bullets like you're Superman is entirely different.",
"Meh, this seems like \"teenage angst\" Batman, like he has a hard time keeping his emotions in check. Doesn't fit the \"calculated detective\" vibe I thought they would be going for. I'm sure goth fans will dig it.",
"> Are you talking the cinematography is too Hollywood?\n\nModern Hollywood.",
"Please be GOOD!",
"I'll add Eragon movie to that list.",
"I want to see a one-off where the actor who plays Batman is kept super secret from the audience. There are scenes where Bruce Wayne is present but it is ambiguous as to who Bruce is. Then you're introduced to the masked villain who is mad-cap and obsessed with their own idea of justice. Then Batman and the villain chase each other around much of the movie, until the end where we find out they are the same person and Batman has fully lost it and has to be taken out by Robin, who then becomes the next Batman.",
"TBH I've not ready any articles on the casting for this movie and what not but I did recognize Collin Farrell who plays Penguin in the trailer. I actually had to look up an image search to be sure: [https://www.google.com/search?q=colin%20farrell%20as%20penguin%20in%20batman&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjvtIS5\\_tLzAhXHc94KHcO-BD8Q\\_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1600&bih=789&dpr=1](https://www.google.com/search?q=colin%20farrell%20as%20penguin%20in%20batman&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjvtIS5_tLzAhXHc94KHcO-BD8Q_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1600&bih=789&dpr=1) \n\n\nI actually thought Penguin was played by Robert Duvall.",
"I'm pretty pumped for this one. I'm not a die had batman fanatic, but I do enjoy most Batman Movies. \nIt has a lot to live up to in a Post-Schneider Cut DC era. \n\n\nBut if that new Batmobile is anything to go off I'm sold. It looks like the gear he has this time is more 'home-made' kinda.",
"To be fair Gotham is a New York City knock off.",
"looks like shit",
"ahh shit in 4k",
"Also, no shakey camera bs making it impossible to see what’s happening",
"I think it is pretty obvious what makes the new batman special .\nNolan movies were hopeful , their tone was empowering and Bruce is mostly alright in the mind .\n\nThis new Batman outright has mental problems . \nIn the trailer a glimps to his diary is shown where he mentions \"I have to push myself to remember what happened last night.\" , his brutality is also very much terrifying . \n\nAparently Reeves wishes to deal more with the psychological problems and the detective aspect of Batman , something that we haven't seen much in other movies . Not to mention how his Gotham has a great amount of world building and how we are finally getting a good Riddler in film .\n\nThat multiple batman movie is not something to sleep on ,it is actually a flash movie . It is an adaptation of The Flashpoint Paradox .",
"The Batman and Joker are completely seperate from DCEU .",
"Anyone know anything about that \"Something in the Way\" cover?",
"I was thinking the same, glad it wasn't just me",
"That's what she said",
"goddamn batman best batman.\n\nWish they had finished it.",
"What aspect specifically feels modern Hollywood to you?",
"Soooo, is this a Reboot? What happened to the Batman in the Justice League movies (I only saw the first one, I think)?",
"Yeah, I remember reading that Gotham was supposed to represent NYC at night while Metropolis was NYC in the day.",
"And Good Time",
"Why so serious ?",
"Y'know, I was considering batfleck as well. But just like you said, we didn't see his Bruce Wayne that much. And when we did, mostly he was batman without costume.",
"[\"Why do you think I wear a target on my chest -- can't armor my head\"](https://ditto004.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/p-52-2.jpg)\n\n\\-The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel",
"I feel like this has happend before",
"Can’t make assumptions a year before the movie is out. We’ll see",
"Well it’s Afflecks fault",
"The remake is due to Affleck leaving. If he didn’t leave, Batman wouldn’t have been recast and Afflecks script/movie would have been produced instead",
"I discovered playing Half Life: Alyx in VR, that it's much, much harder to hit things without a crosshair and a mouse :)",
"Suicide squad looked dumb as shit. My expectations for it were low and were exceeded. Happy I didn't pay to see it, sorry to the person who paid for our tickets",
"Apparently the story is meant to be more detective focused which is an aspect of batman the previous films have failed to really capture imo",
"Good for you champ",
"Good thing none of those bullets hit him in that big strong jawline!",
"Man that dumb voice has not aged well.",
"One day you’ll learn what a character arc is 🙌",
"Yes, he played only one role, of course everybody knows that, right ?!",
"Wasn't there like 5 Twilight movies?",
"Oops, yes he only played one role, sorry about the error",
"That’s all Batman is.",
"It's in it's own universe"

Funny things don't just come out of my mouth through divination. I have to actually try and think of them.",
"It's not for everyone I guess. I like his podcast, it's very comfortable background noise and honestly he just treats it like a journal. Which is fine, he has no airs about it. But you can catch the development of jokes. Like stuff he talks about casually, sometimes they end up in his sets in more polished form, and it's cool to see that progress in real time.",

Almost seemed like a dude doth protest too much kinda thing.",
"No, my point is that those comics I mentioned didn't need to push the edge. They were insightful, observational, bizarre, but not offensive. These aging comics like to cite their heroes and say that those guys were told to shut up, and they were hailed for only getting louder. But that was different. They were told to shut up because of the bullshit puritanism. A dude in a suit wringing his hands at the idea that someone would dare say \"Fuck\" on stage.\n\nThese guys are equating that to not being able to make fun of marginalized groups. And that just pisses me off. At this is point, there is no need to be edgy. There's no reason to say the things no one else will say.

In this particular story he was saying that as a kid in Louisiana they used to eat all kinds of weird birds, and he specifically names hawks and doves. Maybe this is a war metaphor...during the Vietnam war the word \"hawk\" was used as a metaphor for a pro-war supporter, and a \"dove\" was anti war. Anyway, he said kids would eat stuff like \"hawk nuggets.\" One time he saw two dudes grilling up a dove and they offered him some, and he was like \"nah doves are birds of peace, I don't eat peace meats.\" It's a weird Theo Von way to say \"I don't feel comfortable killing and consuming this bird which is commonly seen as a symbol of peace.\"\n\nTheo Von's a weird dude.

"Learn some physics my friend…",
"Train lines are almost always raised so that the surrounding gravel keeps the train line straight.\n\nCrossings therefore are almost always on a raised section.\n\nThe shit design is a truck that can get stuck like that, and which doesn't have a driver who knows that. or who ignores signs.",

"Getting hit by a train or rolling your truck over going too fast or an accident while texting those are all end of your career offenses. My truck was blown over (rolled) by a 70MPH microburst a couple of years ago but that was deemed a act of God.",
"The guy went full double rainbow, starting to sound like a triple rainbow after that hit.",
"So did his trailer get stuck on tracks?",
"Yes. And it's such a common occurrence that he should have seen it coming. And he almost certainly ignored signs warning him not to go that way. At the last intersection where he could have turned off, there was likely a sign saying \"TRUCK ROUTE\" with an arrow pointing away from this disaster. After that was a \"NO TRUCKS\" sign. And then the very obvious raised tracks. He missed every available warning. This is the end of his trucking career, and he knows it.",
"i dont think he will ever get the chance to make this mistake again.",
"Not always, Its just not that black and white. My friends brother rolled his truck from taking an off ramp to fast and he still has his same job. It also depends on the company and the drivers relationship with them.",

"I totally get that for a huge freight pulling train. Diyd it really take a mile for two locomotives and two passenger cars to stop?",
"I'm sure it was an accident. And I hate to change the subject. But it's crazy a cop can \"accidentally kill\" a person and be back on the beat in two weeks, but a freak accident ruins this simple truck mans career.",
"he probably would, or somethign similar. this is beyond training.",
"Better unions, because most truck drivers anymore aren’t part of a union. /s",
"Was refreshing that it wasn't vertical with some guy repeating a word or phrase inanely.",
"So let's actually solve the problem instead of just saying it can't be solved, shall we?\n\nStep 1: Train crossings can communicate with trains coming down the rail. I admit ignorance on this front, but I assume they're already capable of this, right? If not, it's not a difficult engineering problem to resolve.\n\nStep 2: Train crossings now close earlier, when the train is considerably more than a mile away. Give it about 30 seconds or so on top of the mile to be safe. If stopping time varies, adjust accordingly.\n\nStep 3: Crossings can detect if something is blocking the train tracks, and will send the signal to the train to begin an emergency brake.\n\nDone?",
"Maybe SWIFT can hire him as a trainer.",
"Look at me I'm a train , I'm a train, I'm a train , I'm a train , I'm a choo choo train yea. Look at me I'm going somewhere , I'm a train, I'm a train , I'm a train , I'm a choo choo train yea.",

We've ended up watching Russian ones instead where I can't read the comments, so it's not as miserable.\n\nI'm seriously surprised that there's not more discussion around the utterly weird social artifact that is people desperately trying to find both parties in the wrong on such videos from the last five years or so.",
"Why didnt the train stop?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nWas it not possible or did the conductor not care?",
"He's fucking lucky he didn't cause a derailment and injure/kill someone.",
"If you pause at the moment of the collision you can see the front of the train actually lifts upwards. I wonder if any wheels came off the track for a moment. That could have been really bad.",
"Thank you. I love how the train set on a track is the problem to many people... nah its the truck and driver that drove onto it and got stuck.",

"It can take miles for a train to stop. This was in the middle of nowhere a lot of times those trains are authorized to go up to 100mph in these broad flat areas.\n\nIF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU often times there's a sign on the crossing with a number to call. Call it and they can tell the train to stop in time.",
"This is not the case. Train tracks dont get higher and higher, while roads get lower. I am not sure why you would think a lack of maintenance would cause that. Driver probably ignored a bunch of warning signs while getting to this point.",
"Just watching the video, he was on a road he was not supposed to be on.",
"What do you mean by high centered?",
"I'd be awestruck as well if this happened in front of me. Look at the hang time on one of the cars! And that was just two locomotives and one car!",
"The trailer bottomed out on the tracks leaving him without traction to move.",
"Omg, that sounds terrible!",
"Or someone nearly frozen in fear.",
"Hard coding it at a mile plus 30 seconds is going to really suck for a really slow moving freight train. You'll be sitting at that crossing for half an hour waiting for the train to even arrive.\n\nWhat you're suggesting would require both knowing the speed of the train which isn't too hard because speed sensors are pretty easy...\n\nBut also the weight of the train which can vary heavily depending on how long it is and what it's carrying. Some of these trains can be over a mile long.\n\nSo you're suggesting that we have scales underneath the rails that then weigh the train and speedometers that determine how fast it's going do the math and dynamically raise and lower the gates according to the train that's actually approaching.\n\nSo one -- that would cost immense amounts of money and the national rail infrastructure is already grossly underfunded, mostly privatized, and fractured between different companies way too much already.\n\nSecond -- How the fuck are they going to maintain those little scaly things under the tracks which may need to be miles and miles long between every single crossing? Especially considering that instances like this are normally in very rural areas that are remote, prone to bad weather, and let's be honest located in states where spending on national infrastructure is really not the priority...\n\nIt is not anywhere near as simple as you're making it out to be.",
"If there was a sign on the crossing with a number to call they probably didn't see it or didn't call ahead but going at the speed he was going that conductor didn't see anything was wrong with the crossing until he was maybe 10 seconds away.",
"Easy insurance money!",
"Roads can be built out and raised to minimize these problems but that costs money and is often avoided. \n\nSometimes they put signs, but if you've never missed a sign while driving while driving, you're better than most... and missing that sign can be devastating.\n\nAnd many times they do not put signs. And while a truck driver knows very well the height of his truck and there will always be signs regarding a bridge height (which doesn't stop trucks from being opened liked a tin can... I digress) they might not know the exact clearance and aren't going to get out with survey equipment to measure the height and grade of a crossing.",
"The documentary \"Final Destination 2\" is all you need to watch to be scared of logs for life.",
"There's a game called \"Derail Valley\" that's a pretty good simulator of train physics. You should check it out.",
"Risk comparison, 5 people were injured from whatever level of brakes were used and hitting the obstruction but with 110 souls on board you could injure a lot more by applying the brakes too hard as any unsecured passenger or object will keep moving under inertia and will smash with force into the structure of the train or other passengers who are braced against that structure.",
"“Hoooly fuuuck. Hooooly fuuuuck, man. Hooooly— HOLY FUCK! Fuuuuuck, man. Hoooly fuuuuuck. Hooooooly, you okay, man? Hooooly fuuuuck.”",
"I feel we should keep talking about it until we fix the problem. Police have zero accountability. This guy isn't able to review himself to decide if what he did was wrong.",
"Yes, it was a passenger train. Amtrak. 110 customers + staff and conductor.\n\nI think he was hired to deliver the cars, not the owner. So, hopefully the dealership is ensured for those.\n\nAnd since I doubt he did anything to willfully strand his rig on the tracks, his insurance will also cover his rig.\n\nAlso hope the dealership doesn't sue him. Or if they did, they lost.",
"Fucking rolling",
"Narrated by Morgan Freeman",
"Stuff like this is also very likely to kill or severely injure the conductor/train driver.",
"Yeah If I recall correctly the proper procedure here is to release the brake interlock (normally you have to be pressing a lever for the brakes to *not* be on) and then just get as far back in the train as it will let you.",
"I honestly have no idea what the procedure is since I've never asked the RR that question, but yeah this is basically just a horrible situation for a conductor to run into. No pun intended.",
"> Hard coding it at a mile plus 30 seconds is going to really suck for a really slow moving freight train. You'll be sitting at that crossing for half an hour waiting for the train to even arrive.\n\n...\n\n> Give it about 30 seconds or so on top of the mile to be safe. If stopping time varies, adjust accordingly.\n\n\"Adjust accordingly\". Plus, you're talking about the *inconvenience* of having to wait at a train crossing, when the alternative you're suggesting is basically \"screw safety let's just hope there's nothing stuck on the tracks\". I really hope you *aren't* an engineer because Jesus Christ. Safety fucking first, dude.\n\nAlso, what the hell?\n\n\nYou're telling me that the best engineering solution you can come up with for determining the stopping distance for a train is to literally fucking weigh every single train along miles of track?\n\nYou don't think they could, I don't know, have each train keep track of its cargo's estimated weight and its own speed independently, and send that information to upcoming crossings?\n\nAnd that's like, the very first solution I came up with. Imagine if we actually charged some railway engineers with this task? like wtf are you saying, it's nowhere near as *complex* as *you're* making it out to be.",
"During my road training at a certain railway, we were told in an emergency to hit the deck and lay flat",
"You think a truck shouldn’t be on a paved road with active crossing signals? What?",
"There are MANY roads that have signs that say \"no trucks\", and by the looks of the crossing this is one of them.",
"Since I haven't seen someone actually post an article about this incident yet, I guess I will:\n\nhttps://www.kfor.com/news/local/heartland-flyer-collides-with-car-carrier-trailer-cars-sent-flying-upon-impact/\n\n>MARIETTA, Okla.

"The best episode by far. I love it. Re-watching DS9 right now. It's a great series! If anyone hasn't seen it, I highly recommend you do so. There are some iffy episodes for sure but you can say that for any TV show.",
"For me, any of the Section 31 episodes are my favorite. The first episode of Sloan was just great. Watching him slowly, but methodically peel back his mask to show Bashir who he is and what they can and *will* do.",
"He hams up every scene so bad.",
"Is it a fake, though?",
"holy shit this looks great! I wish I could watch the whole series in 4k!",
"avery brooks overacts sisko SO HARD and I don't get how people take that character seriously. \n\nAndrew Robinson, Armin Shimmerman (quark), Colm Meany, Marc Alaimo (dukat) and later Michael Dorn pull DS9. Not trying to shit on the rest of the cast.",
"I wish Paramount went ahead with the remasters for DS9 and Voyager. TNG looks so fricken good now and the other two still look like they're fresh off tape.",
"IT'S REAL!!!",
"I liked these episodes too just not as much as Pale Moonlight. >!I kind of wish they didn't kill Sloan off. !< William Sadler is such a great actor.",
"It took me a while to get used to the change in quality after finishing TNG for the first time and moving on to DS9. I could be wrong, but as fantastic as the TNG remaster is I think they may have lost quite a bit of money on it and considering the relative popularity of DS9 and Voyager compared to TNG it's not likely we'll see a proper remaster any time soon (or ever).",
"I've always attributed it to his character. Sort of like he's got a problem dealing with his own anger. Sort of like it, but I agree - it does come off a bit jarring to see him twitch around like that.",
"[remasters can go real bad.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZWNGq70Oyo)",
"As of March a remaster is supposedly [in the works](https://www.thevulcanreporter.com/exclusives/star-trek-deep-space-nine-remaster/), but I'm not convinced this isn't just a rumor.",
"[It's a fake!!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6yQOs93Cgg)",
"There was hope streaming revenue would incentivize them to remaster the other shows but Paramount Plus didn't exactly excite the masses.",
"Yes, but the TNG remaster is real good, so we want them to do the same to those.",
"Were these filmed on tape or on film? Since it's \"TV\" I it's probably tape, right?",
"[It's real!!](https://youtu.be/6lHgbbM9pu4?t=31)",
"Shot on 35mm but edited on tape, vfx are more cgi than tng.",
"Hah, memes aside, I forgot how just different and fun DS9 was. Maybe now that i've watched all the star trek series worth watching, I should rewatch them all again....",
"How are you finding the series specifically for the second time? I've seen Voyger, DS9, ToS, and of course TNG. I don't know if any of the others are as highly regarded, but I loved all of those (ToS aged a bit strange to me though), and was wondering perhaps if just going back into one of the old series is a way to go! lol",
"Oh shit? When did they remaster TNG?",
"Amazing how these two cheesy moments came from absolute banger episodes",
"This is my fourth re-watch and to be honest it gets better every time. I really think this show has aged better than anything I've seen on TV.",
"I have re watched all but tos so many times I know the episodes by heart, star trek is amazing and one of my most watched shows besides Babylon 5 and Stargate. Haven't found anything in years to stand up to older scifi.",
"I'd say that episode is among the top of best episodes through all the startrek series.",
"DS9 and Voyager were edited on tape and many effects were CGI. They either need to locate the source files for every GCI effect in those shows to upscale them or recreate them. Plus all the editing would need to be redone. Doing a remaster would be much more costly and time consuming. The ROI just isn't there. So 480p is what we'll get. AI upscaling can be the saving grace but it development still has a long way to go.",
"At this point, can someone just make a dedicated AI trained on the HD clips from the documentary to recognise faces and uniforms and things and has reference for how they look in high res, to help form sharper, more accurate versions of upscales?",
"I doubt it will happen unless it can be done cheaply by AI but if this rumour is true, I’ll buy the entire series on day one. I’m a Niner to my core.",
"How does one upscale?\n\nWould someone mind explaining the tech?",
"Looks real good!",
"DS9 is always a good watch. Just keep in mind that like many other series (TNG, ENT) the first season and some of the 2nd is a bit slow and clunky, but the series continues to pay off on rewatches.",
"I dunno. After getting into the expanse this stuff just seems cheesy to me. And I grew up with it. Tng was my favorite show as a kid. Tried reaching and kept talking asleep.",
"oh wow, that's some extreme fuckery",
"The TNG remaster also didn't come anywhere near being profitable.\n\nEdit: This is a fact people. You're downvoting a fact.",
"Or, like here, you can use AI. It's getting good enough, you can just go for it.",
"At oh-eight-hundred hours, station time… the Romulan Empire formally declared war against the Dominion. They've already struck fifteen bases along the Cardassian border. So, this is a huge victory for the good guys! This may even be the turning point of the entire war! There's even a \"Welcome to the Fight\" party tonight in the wardroom!… So… I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover up the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But most damning of all… I think I can live with it… And if I had to do it all over again… I would. Garak was right about one thing – a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it…Because I can live with it…I can live with it. Computer – erase that entire personal log.",
"I'd argue he's not so much overacting, as acting more like a theatre actor would. \n\nI like it, reminds me of Shatner in a good way.\n\nAnd I remember that scene where he's playing a character who breaks down, the 'overacting' suddenly feels very real. It's a bit much, because the character is like that.",
"[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-YyL7X4CWw)'s that monologue. Not upscaled so you can see the difference with OP's upscaled scene.",
"garak's my favorite character in ds9. he has some of the best lines and plot lines in ds9.",
"DS9 is the best of Star Trek.",
"Can you explain the difference between edited on film and edited on tape? I thought tape *was* film?",
"This and Picard's speech on freedom are some of the best Star Trek.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP-2S62y3_8\n\nAlso Kirk reading the the Preamble to the US Constitution \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGO-SldLrNA",
"I don't think anyone gives a bad performance in Voyager. Not the best show, but the cast does a decent job. Likewise, the newer shows also have solid performances all around. (Again, not the best shows but the acting is good).",
"For me it's tied with Far Beyond the Stars. For anyone who hasn't seen DS9, you can watch this particular episode without the context of the rest of the show and it holds up as a self contained story.",
"[Here ya go bud](https://youtu.be/rVpABCxiDaU)",
"I love Sisko.\n\nWhile all the other captains are very black and white, Sisko walks the path on more of the grey side.\nThe ends justify the means kind of thing. He doesn't like doing these things, but they work.",
"The show ended like over 20 years ago, I think you can post spoilers.",
"I loved Avery Brooks as Sisko, just a shame he seems to have gone off the deep end in recent years.",
"I heard rumours, but honestly who knows. Last I heard, he's still a professor.\n\nLiving his life with fuck you money, and not too much public attention, probably.",
"I couldn’t agree more. In my opinion, this episode could be a contender for best Star Trek episode between all the series.",
"You can post spoilers for a show that aired tonight, the question is why would you? Especially in a thread of comments that recommends watching the show if you haven't seen it? It's just a dick move considering all it take is hiding the text >!like this, taking a whopping 0.5 seconds of your time.!<",
"I would never watch this show looking like OPs video over the standard release.",
"The only time I ever looked forward to Wham!",
"Guy who was in the fitting room at the time: O.O",
"It’s the difference between overacting (Avery) and *big* acting (Robinson). You can tell Robinson is running circles around him, and Sisko is trying to raise his game and just can’t do it. \n\nI always found it a bit sad for Avery, because he was such a weak link. Even Jake Sisko was better than him and he was kind of a bland half assed character. It worked for him though.",
"I tried really hard to like The Expanse, but the characters seemed to be mostly assholes constantly making bad decisions. Older Trek (TOS, TNG, DS9) wasn’t like that, although Discovery certainly is.",
"The root beer discussion with Quark is great too.",
"There are many ways, but with Machine Learning a computer program essentially finds and classifies every object (and maybe sub-object like a com badge) in a scene, quadruples the number of pixels for it, blends the internal ones but treats the edges differently. \n \nA little more detail here: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/310029-how-to-upscale-video-content-to-4k-8k-and-beyond",
"Imo DS9 hasn't really aged at all, it still holds up brilliantly, and is still great on multiple rewatches.",
"Tbf, those moments in the above video seem cheesier than they actually are because they've been taken out of context.",
"Lots of companies are working on it. Sometimes it works well but not always. Often a human will supplement the AI when it makes poor choices.",
"Holy crap that upscaling is incredible! How was it done? How long did it take?",
"Agreed. His snark is delightful. \n\n\nBashir: Ah, did Sisko threaten you?\n\nGarak: Nothing so course, the captain bribed me.",
"I love the episode where Dukat and Cisco crash on that alien planet and Dukat is slowly losing his mind. Cardassians have some interesting psychology",
"DS9 has been AI upscaled in its entirety to 1080p at least, they tried with ''Voy'' as Boimler would put it but the results weren't great.",
"That is exactly what they did for tng. They went back and got all the raw film stock and rescanned it. They had to reedit reach episode because the raw film isn't cut to episodes. Had to color balance everything, and remade effects that couldn't be scaled correctly. \n\nIt's marvelous. I bought all 7 blurays as they were released.",
"The end of drumhead with Picard talking to Worf, admitting how he was easily coerced into helping her, cloaked in righteousness, always felt like the larger takeaway. Great episode.",
"Arguably worse than the original. AI must be gasping for breath man.",
"It's sadly not as easy to remaster those two shows. To my understanding they did all off TNG on film. Including the special effects, which was mostly physical models back then. Those films have survived to the present day and can easily be scanned in whatever resolution you want.\n\nNot sure about DS9, but Voyager was also recorded on film, film that was then immediately developed and scanned with the special effects (which were becoming mostly CGI by then) then added onto the scanned footage. In most cases there is no film for Voyager anymore. All that's left is the 480p scans made in the 90s. So upscaling that footage is a process that doesn't have the same fidelity as TNG has, since all you have to work with is a relatively low resolution source. \n\nPerhaps that the AI methods used in the above video could offer a solution, but that might be years away before it happens.",
"Here in Europe that's the version of TNG that is on Netflix. It looks beautiful. That show aged like fine wine visually.",
"The Expanse is a different kind of sci fi (more \"near future\" while Star Trek is definitely \"far future\"). They tell different kinds of stories. Funny enough, they are both apparently set around the same year. At least, I looked up when The Expanse is set and it seems to be 2350, and Star Trek: TNG is set in 2364. But \"near future\" vs \"far future\" is not about arbitrary number of years from \"now\", it's more about the level of difference of the setting from \"now\". \n\nThey also differ in that The Expense is completely serialized - the entire series is one big story where each episode is a direct continuation of the last, like chapters in a book, while Star Trek (even DS9, which is the most serialized, not counting Discovery) is more episodic. \n\nThe Expanse is excellent. It tells a story where humans have advanced a bit further from our technology today and begun exploring our solar system. Set in a \"near future\" (no FTL travel or communication, no artificial gravity, no controlled matter-energy conversion, etc). The focus is on intricate mysteries and politics and human relationships. There's only one \"alien\" element that is the main mystery of the story, and the rest of it is all about the conflicts between Earth, Mars, and The Belt, and how the main characters affect and are affected by these conflicts and events.\n\nStar Trek is also excellent. It tells stories set in a \"far future\" where the level of technology is drastically more advanced than \"now\" - warp drive, transporter beams, phasers, force fields, replicators, and aliens all over the place. Technology has eliminated many of the reasons for conflict between humans; there is no scarcity of resources, human society has largely become a utopian paradise. The focus is on exploring the universe, finding and understanding new worlds, alien species, wierd spatial phenomena and such. Many alien species or strange situations are used as a metaphorical mirror to reflect of some concept of humanity. \n\nStar Trek series always take a while to \"find their feet\" - for the writers, in the absence of a single unifying/overarching narrative plan, to figure out who these characters are, how this world works (or this part of this world, since later Treks have to work within the framework of previous ones when they're in the same continuity), what works and what doesn't. The first season or two of TNG and DS9 were pretty bad in a lot of ways. It's just how it had to be while the writers were figuring things out. I also think Gene Roddenberry's influence early on may have hurt more than it helped, and contributed to the \"cheese factor\". The man was a visionary, but he was committed to certain aspects of how Star Trek \"should\" be, and Star Trek needed to adapt and change.\n\nThe Expanse is an adaptation of a series of novels, where the writer wrote characters and a story from start to finish (I guess they're still being released, but I'm assuming they at least had the outlines for the upcoming novels planned out). The novels being adapted were completed and published works before a single frame of the show was shot. So it's not surprising it feels like a more composed and focused story, and, with its setting closer in many ways to today, not surprising that it feels more realistic and grounded. \n\nI don't see one as superior to the other; I would say The Expanse is more consistent, for obvious reasons, but it's really an apples-to-oranges comparison. We're all allowed to have our preferences of one type of story over another, or one ensemble of characters.",
"Nah man, Profit and Lace!\n\n^joking, ^please ^don't ^kill ^me",
"This is one of my favorite episodes. Avery Brooks and Andrew Robinson were both such talented actors. I loved the honest interpretation of how Starfleet would act in a full scale war.",
"This is why cbs hates ds9. DS9 removed the soft padding and shown what goes on behind the scenes.",
"LOL Avery Brooks is a Michael-Scott level actor. Enters the scene with a fucking BACKHAND and then he just yells and jerks and shakes with every syllable he utters. He's painful to watch at the best of times, but here especially up against a much more talented actor. The jerking and moving with every single word is so bad.",
"Wasn’t profitable back then. Might be profitable now. Especially with streaming and tv rights around the world",
"The cost is like an episode of any new show. The cost is negligible. Especially if it’s a selling point for their own streaming service. \n\nThe problem is time and effort and availability of source materials. \n\nI have no doubt it will come in time. \n\nNever say never, even Babylon 5 got a half hearted remaster for the launch of HBOMax and people were all but sure that would never happen.",
"1)Quark \n\n2)Garak \n\nez top chars in DS9",
"Same in the US",
"What is the current state of \"best DS9 possible\"? Is there anything better than DVD quality? I assume no one has AI-upscaled all seven seasons?",
"they talk about that between 16m and 17m in the video.",
"Dukat is also up there. Great character development, and he's complex but relatable.",
"Really? What makes such an ordinary tailor so interesting?",
"But he is just plain simple garak, a shop owner. Nobody to take notice of in the show.",
"Just like the Federation...",
"There isn't film for DS9 and Voyager. They were all on tape. For TNG, it was mainly effects shots they had to redo to get higher quality since they had film to fall back on for the rest.",
"They were still being printed in 2016. If streaming were going to change anything it already would have.",
"oh i thought someplace else someone said they filmed it but edited it on tape. i'll admit i don't know what that means.",
"Probably the best monologue on any of the ST series and some if the best acting I've seen from Avery Brooks.",
"Dude, >!spoiler!<.",
"I love the subtext of it.\n\nThe federation conquers, not through conquest, but through cultural assimilation. \n\nThe effects of this can be seen not only in the Klingon empire but the Ferengi as well. Kang once lamented about warriors serving racht to the grandchildren of men he slaughtered in battle. The Ferengi when rights are extended and Rom became Grand Nagus.",
"That's actually why I always cringe a bit when people post just those scenes (or the one I see most often, the monologue at the end of \"In The Pale Moonlight\"), because the episodes and the series itself builds up to those moments but out of context they just feel a bit silly. I love DS9 but it's kind of throwing it under the bus to show people a scene where a lot of the emotional weight is being carried by silly sci fi words from actors in inch thick make up.",
"Thanks! That's super cool!",
"You can already watch DS9 in HD, just not legally\n\nSearch up the Queer Worm DS9 upscale, available from your nearest torrenting site",
"You can already watch DS9 in HD, just not legally\n\nSearch up the Queer Worm DS9 upscale, available from your nearest torrenting site",
"It doesn't look nearly as good as official TNG remaster",
"Garak five minutes later: \"That's a lovely selection, and it will fit perfectly...at your funeral.\"",
"Much harder for DS9 than TNG due to the latter's use of miniatures while the effects in DS9 were CGI and natively rendered in 480p. They can probably only do it with AI upscaling."

Now my wife is south African, I am south African with a Canadian passport, our daughter was born in Vietnam and will be brought up mostly in Canada as I don't have the means my father did to fly home once or twice a year for a few months. I'm interested to see how she identifies when she gets older.\n\nEdit: also everyone except my parents and my wife have Canadian accents so we sound Canadian but culturally identify as south African with the language we use, things we eat, our family dynamic, how we dress, how we dance, what music we listen to...",

"> Because it's only the US that thinks this way of compartmentalizing its citizens. I mean....the video is clear evidence of this. a young child that hasn't been taught to think in little boxes yet is confused why she isn't American.\n\nYeah, because America is a young nation comprised of mostly immigrants. Not a difficult concept. How is it ‘compartmentalizing’ to acknowledge a person’s heritage? She’s an American with Korean heritage, you’d rather that not be taught to kids? That they have heritage that doesn’t come from America?

"Why are you mocking by saying ‘very interesting heritage’? As if America doesn’t have a very nuanced history with nationality and ethnicity because we’re a young nation comprised of mostly immigrants. Most of us were originally from somewhere else. The fact that so many people are conveniently ignoring and disregarding this fact says a lot to me.",

She would never identify with being called Chinese, and she barely speak the language, but she would still always be a 2. degree chinese imigrant.\n\nMy experience here in Denmark, is that people generally identify with where they grew up. They might add some asterisks about their cultural upbringing being different due to their parental heritage, but that is again an individual and personal question.\n\nThis makes it rather fun for me to read this thread, where people go hard on both sides of the coin of her \"being\" anything other than just a girl, showcased in her own confusion :D",

For example, I don't believe I have met a white American without them detailing their exact ethnic make-up, as it it means anything to anyone else. \nIntroducing your ethnicity as 'I am \\_\\_\\_\\_' is unhelpful because for most of the world that means something, it means you grew up there, have a common experience with the people there etc. I cannot tell you how many times I've met an American and they've told me 'Oh, I'm from \\[my country\\] too!' and I've thought 'Well, they've lost their accent but that's not uncommon' and I've continued the conversation trying to establish where they're from before they tell me their great-great-grandfather was born there. There's nothing wrong with wanting to share your heritage, just claiming **to be** a nationality is unproductive.",
"Yes\n\nI mean like, literally yes.",
"I think part of it is that immigrant communities in the US historically used to be very self contained, such as neighborhoods or entire towns consisting of people from the same country. Because of their relative segregation, immigrant communities did retain a lot of their distinct cultural identity over time, even while still being American. As far as I can tell, this effect has lessened nowadays, but people still incorporate their heritage as part of their identity mostly because those before them did as well.",
">But the word \"Korean\" doesn't only refer to nationality\n\nWhy is it hard for Americans to understand that 'I am \\[nationality adjective\\]' means something for most of the world, yes - it can mean ethnicity, but when someone has another nationality they normally would say 'ethnically \\_\\_\\_\\_'.\n\nPut it this way, if you are referring to the country adjective **ethnicity only** and believe that is fine and communicates the idea well, you would go to Korea and speak to a korean-national that is **ethnically Vietnamese** and because you believe it's normal to use nationality adjectives to mean race without any caveats you would say 'You are not Korean' and that shouldn't be an issue. Is that correct? You are saying they are not ethnically Korean - can you see how this could be an issue?",

I would guess this video is waaaay too new for Suvi to be part of that phenomena but hell... the US doesn't expect every white person to know all about where their ancestors came from. Hell, most white Americans probably couldn't fill out a map of Europe correctly. So don't pick on poor Suvi. She's doing great.",

"Its a fairly common thing in America (and here in Canada too) to say you're \"korean\" or \"Italian\" or \"Irish\" or whatever, but what you really mean is \"have Irish ancestry\" or whatever.\n\nWe're basically all immigrants with only a couple generations on average since our families came to this country so we have stronger cultural ties and identity with the \"old country,\"whatever that is. \n\nObviously we all know we are just Canadian in reality but it's fun and interesting especially for kids to have those ties, and everyone would have a tapestry of ancestries",

"They aren't drawing an identity to an old country they don't understand. They're drawing an identity from their own ethnic groups in America that they absolutely do understand. Immigrants in the US formed their own neighborhoods and social groups that were defined by their ethnic identity. This was practical. They spoke the same languages, ate the same food, shared the same traditions and all of those things can be traced in some way to their country of origin. Don't forget that these groups (typically catholic and/or brown skinned) were not seen as equals in the US until well into the 20th century (and sometimes not even then). Italian heritage festivals aren't celebrating Italy- they're celebrating the history of Italian immigrants in the US.

It is less common that it comes the other way so they aren't going to have that much opportunity to be annoyed by that.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nEdit: Also your point about people being uncomfortable with blood defining Scottish in particular is most def written from a non-immigrant perspective. I am a natuarlised UK citizen from an immigrant background who lives in Scotland and I would say that broadly speaking people do not consider me or my family Scottish.

"Europeans completely misunderstand this. When immigrants come over to America they often live in communities that are filled with people from their homeland. People don't just drop all their cultural roots when they come here. This is often an important part of a families identity for generations. And so of course in America, where many people are within a few generations of their ancestral immigration, people refer and talk about their background.\n\nFor instance my dad's side is Irish and my mom's side is Italian, when people ask me what my background is I say \"I'm Italian and Irish\". It's understood that what I mean is that my ancestry is Italian and Irish, not that I am literally an Italian citizen. And this of course contains information about myself and my family. It tells the person what my cultural references might be, it explains my looks, what I probably ate growing up, my religious background, where my family comes from in the US. \n\nMy Mom grew up in New Jersey in Italian neighborhoods, and my Dad grew up in upstate New York, this is where you would expect to find those immigrant families. I grew up having spaghetti and lots of Italian dishes, and also corn beef and cabbage. Which I understand that corn beef is actually not an Irish dish but an Irish-American dish. Which is the whole point. The Irish continued growing and creating their new Irish-American culture in the US, but they didn't just drop being Irish, this was still a very important part of their identity.\n\nI understand that people can be obnoxious about it and be ignorant themselves but this criticism is often completely ignorant of what it's like to grow up in America.",

But none of those are my ethnicity, which is Austrian, for whatever *that's* worth. \n\nSuvi apparently doesn't speak Korean or have any other close connection to that culture, or at least her ignorance would allow that assumption. So by what *meaningful* way is she of Korean ethnicity?",

And I'm not going around always talking about my Italian-american identity but just pointing out the misunderstanding around the language and how of course it is important to people and actually informative about a persons family and general identity.

"Except that's not true at all. It's very clear that Americans are referring to their ancestry when they say \"I'm Irish\". It's obvious they're also considered Americans because they live in America. \n\nColonial nations cannot be compared to non-colonial nations for saying what a person is for a very obvious reason, ethnic homogeneity. \n\nHere's a [nice map](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/05/16/a-revealing-map-of-the-worlds-most-and-least-ethnically-diverse-countries/) of ethnic homogeneity. You see Europe and decent chunk Asia's homogeneity? They're not very diverse. Now compare that to the Americas and areas where Europeans divided up the map. \n\nWhen you go to Germany and talk to a person, there's a very good chance you're talking to a person whose family has been in Germany since the middle ages. The idea of asking about someone's ethnic history isn't something that comes up because 95 times in 100, the answer is German. \n\nCompare that to the Americas and they're obviously American, but the ancestry is different from person to person. This absolutely still has regional cultural impacts as you can often find people making things like Sauerkraut in areas that were heavily German but not in English areas. \n\nPeople that pull the \"you're not Irish, you're American\" are deliberately ignoring the reality that asking what a person is is asking \"what is your ancestry\". \n\nThe interpretation also has absurd colonial implications. When you talk to a person from Punjab and ask where they're from, the answer is almost always \"Punjab\" rather than Pakistan or India. Now imaging asking a Navajo person what they are and telling them \"no, you're American\" when they say they're Navajo. \n\nBy deliberately ignoring the nuance to the question of what a person is to reduce it to the name of the nation they are from, you're continuing the concept that a part of a person's identity is always defined by colonial constructs.

One is a nationality, the other is an ethnicity/ancestry. Saying Suvi is Korean doesn't mean or imply she's not also American. \n\nIn Europe (especially in France, with their universal republicanism), \"integration\" feels much more exclusionary, that you can't be both [ethnic background] and [European country] unless you literally hold both passports.",

"I love how the comments here are like \"Who cares?\" and it's driving a certain subset of birdlovers insane. \n\nPersonally I really like sound design in movies, and this feel like a lazy shortcut. But they probably just have a folder called \"Outdoor Sounds\" and this is \"creepy.mp3\" and that's that. There's no more thought about it. It's only about setting the mood. \n\nI will notice this from now on though, like the Wilhelm Scream and hopefully it doesn't take me out of the scene.",

"Haha I love how nit-picky they are and then they get the state that On Golden Pond takes place in wrong (it’s New Hampshire, not Maine).",
"I grew up in New Hampshire and have the same association. Loons there were much more shy than other birds, and I'd mostly hear their calls in the quieter hours on the lakes. As a result, I associate that sound with peace and tranquility.",
"Same here, I'm from northern MN. I think it's a nice morning noise to wake up to when you're on the lake. They do make it hard to sleep when camping if they won't shut up all night.",
"This got me good, cracking up in bed here tryna not wake my partner lol",
"Lol bird Twitter user offended for loons….fucking losers",
"It's part of Vox's brand. Others do it too, but they're trying to create a sense of authenticity. That you're there doing the research alongside them. That's also why she mentions her editor and director by name. It's a team of \"real\" people you can relate too. \n\nBut yes you're totally correct, it's manufactured. Still I think it makes it more fun to watch than a faceless narrator, at least for a quirky topic like this.",
"I worked at a scout camp that had loons nest in the pond. We told ghost stories and the evil spirit or whatever we'd say had a distinctive yell.. then we'd do a loon call.

"It's the state bird of Minnesota!",
"Kookaburra maybe.",
" The other bird you hear all the time is the red tailed hawk.",
"Most of the time it’s not laziness as much as it is time. Finding good individual bird calls that fit both a locale and mood can be really difficult. Let alone if the recording is good enough to use in the movie. That could take an extra hour. Or you can use the effects that you know are going to work on a background bird call and move on so you can focus on the difficult gun fight, monster, spaceship chase, etc",
"There's an episode of Schitt's Creek where a bird call is just nonstop in the background. Been meaning to back and ID it...",
"Weirdest place I've heard this sound is in first Dark Souls game, when you kill one of those creepy mushroom enemies. They literally make this sound.",
"Bro are our phones listening to us? I literally just explained this to my Gf LAST NIGHT because we watched Creepshow 2 on Netflix and even though Stephen King is from the Loon state, Maine, they used the loon call at least twice in what was clearly a southwest desert terrain. \n\nThe fuck ?",
"This reminds me of that irritating stock animal howl sound in the distance. It's used a lot in the first world in the adventure game \"Outcast\", but even Game of Thrones used it once iirc.\n\nIt goes first high, then low \"Ouhawhawha Ho-hu-houw...\"",
"I notice that filmmakers also use the *screeeee* sound of an Osprey call for every type of raptor depicted in films, hawks, eagles, etc. And you know that night sound used to sound like crickets? It is actually the call of a tree frog, *Hyla regila*. But why let factual accuracy get in the way of an enjoyable film.",
"I'm OK with Donald Duck being pantless, but a flesh colored critter kind of bothers me.",
"Not a single mention of Tom Green and the bum bum song?",

"Creepy bird? Don’t disrespect my provincial bird!",
"I have a hawk that lives near me and gives that iconic screech (Bay Area CA.) It sounds exactly like it does in movies and it's so cool",
"My theory is that (just like with most overused sound effects) it was originally recorded as part of a large sound collection by a company which was then sold to Hollywood studios and networks. Then people who made things for those networks/studios had access to these recordings to use in their shows and films royalty-free and actually preferred to use them, since doing your own recordings, whether in nature or foley, was and still is more expensive than just using something that is readily available.\n\nYou can imagine that especially in the past, before digital storage, they would not have that many recorded sounds to chose from, so you hear a lot of the same stuff in Hollywood films over and over again. One of these would be the loon call. Just as a demonstration ive googled a bit and found a website where you can buy sound collections like this. https://www.sound-ideas.com/Product/79/Foley-Sound-Effects\n\nIts similar with TV shows and music too. TV networks have licenses to some songs so you'll often hear the same stuff over and over again if youre watching shows from the BBC for example.\n\nI dont get why this was not explored as a possible source in the video.\n\nCompletely disappointed in the video and I did not even have any expectations going in. The video never actually answered the question Why Hollywood uses the sound so much. Seriously one of the worst Vox videos Ive seen. 8 minutes just to say that bird called a Loon makes that noise and that it sounds creepy.",
"This video is putting A LOT of weight in \"Hollywood\". There isn't usually a big team going around, checking out each other's sound effects making sure its up to snuff in every way. It's most often one, maybe 2 people that do the BG/Sound effect editing, which is where these loon calls would fall under.\n\nIn sound effect editing, you have to move very fast, and you spend most of your time focusing on harder more complex sounds instead of comb scraping over every last detail. You watch the movie probably dozens of times over the course of the edit, so there isn't time for all that.\n\nIn Background editing, (think general ambience but there's more too it) you have another thing called \"specs\" which are one shot sounds that you lay over background audio. Background clips run the length of the scene so if you don't have enough to make it feel quite \"full\" you put in basically anything you can think of that would fit the scene, and there in lies the issue. You usually put in hundreds of specs over the movie and the director decides which ones to keep and which to toss. We know that directors like that sound so it's a safe bet to put in there. \n\nI'm willing to wager the majority of the examples they used in this video were taken from a sound effects package called \"SI 6000\". A lot of sound designers own it so would use it often. A sound designer doesn't have the luxury (usually) of doing research on the animals in an area, and they really don't have time to do the research and then go out and try to get good clean recordings of said animals. Getting clean animal recordings is already hard as fuck, much less getting specific ones that may be on a different continent.\n\nAlso, the golden rule of sound design is, \"Does it sound good?\". Meaning that it doesn't really matter how you got or made a sound as long as it feels right. And if you think this loon thing is bad, wait until you hear about how inaccurate cars are most of the time. Pretty much everything that makes a noise is misreprensted on some level, but you don't notice because not everything lines up with your interests, and that's ok. Just watch the movie and don't hyper focus on an insignificant sound bite an intern probably threw in.\n\nTLDR: this video is bad, it completely misses the other side of the argument and boils it down to, \"lul Hollywood lazy and bad\". Also Loons sound fucking cool, so I'll keep using them in Vietnam whether you like it or not.",
"NO NO NO NO NOT THE LOON!\n\nI WANNA HEAR THE CANNON!",
"Eh. I was fine with all of em until Ren & Stimpy came along with [this fucked up scene.](https://youtu.be/pSYEtrBjt1U?t=240s) \n\nNow I assume everyone from Donald Duck, to Buster Bunny, to Chip n' Dale are just wearing some sort of flesh-suits with hidden zippers. \n\nDon't get me started on the numerous examples of 'toon males wearing clothing up top, but females in the same universe only clothed from the waist down. \n\nWhich reminds me, I have access to the new Animaniacs, gotta look in to that\\>_\\>",
"You made me realize I have never seen an eagle except in solitude.",
"You go, Glen Coco! Agreed!",
"The weird thing is that you don't NEED to do your own recordings at this point. Maybe they simply have existing sound libraries with \"familiar\" sounds that audiences are comfortable with but there are so many easily accessible sound libraries (paid and free) now that I don't see any excuse to put in so little work. At least put some audio effects on it or something.\n\nAudio in Hollywood movies has become extremely lazy in the last 5 to 10 years. The same sound effects (swords clashing, explosions, etc.) are repeatedly used and it has become noticeable in movies and TV shows. Like you I wish Vox had talked to some actual sound designers and experts in Hollywood about why they use the same sounds so often when there are literally millions of sounds they could use instead or modifications they could make to those sounds.",
"This is such a lame excuse. Find the region the movie is occurring in, google birds native to the region, search the sound library for appropriate sounds. At the VERY least, edit the sound in some way to make it sound slightly different than the source material. Much of the other sound design is just as lazy and reused and it's becoming obvious when we hear the same sounds over and over again.\n\nIt's not just a bird call, it's setting the mood and that's just as important as rushing to the gun fight scene only to use the same 10 gun sound effects used everywhere else.",
"The chuckling children is another stupid one. Take 2 hours and get some kids in a studio to record them laughing or use a different sound, there have to be hundreds. It's so obvious there's a \"standard sounds\" sound pack someone puts all this crap in and people pull from.",
"They're also the bird on the Canadian 1$ coin, which gives it it's name, the [Loonie!](https://www.coinsunlimited.ca/image/cache/data/decimal-coins-canada/rolls/2019/2019-canadian-1-dollar-common-loon-coin-1-800x800.jpg) Accordingly, the 2$ coin has a polar bear on it so we call it a Toonie!",
"I saw a red tailed hawk screech a few months back and it was awesome",
"Yep, it’s the pacific tree frog endemic to Southern California. It was a nearby type of frog species Hollywood could record, so it became a standard noise.",
"Watchmen ?\n\nIt says the movie title at the top",

"I want to hear the cannons!",
"Hollywood is clearly loon looney.",
"do yourselves a favor and never learn about movie sound clips. they get reused like crazy, unlike scenes and props. once you know a sound, it'll take you out of the movie so bad. i can not stand the wilhelm scream nowadays.",
"Yeah, according to [this documentary](https://youtu.be/Vwn_UfG2spc), guns are always making noise.",
"I always thought it was a wolf howling in the distance. 😂",
"Yep that’s gotta be it.",
"Aren't these the guys who wrote about cum cocktails?",
"One cracked article I remember long ago made me understand how subtly movies can give you assu.ptions about places. Their point was that, in the movie True Lies, on of the scene takes place in a skyscraper hotel room in DC. Theres no buildings that can be considered skyscrapers in DC. But why on earth would you ever doubt such a small detail unless you lived in DC personally?",
"Also, random [peacock noises](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GikHegxYtTw) when it needs to feel like \"dense woods\".",
"This is actually my favourite sound in nature. Once a year I go back to where I grew up to go moose hunting with my uncles. Waking up in morning and hearing a loon call makes me feel so connected to nature.",
"That and the squeaking door sound that's always used in everything. You can't unhear them!",
"VT native here, same. I love loon calls, it's so nice and peaceful. I live in Utah now and miss all the bird calls :(",
"And horses always sound when they are walking. People might not realize horses are on screen if they don't hear loud clopping!",
"No, it's just laziness. If it's set in a location, they simply need to google the native birds of the area and there WILL be a recording of it.\n\nFor example, most Australians would know that the Bush Stone Curlew would make a creepier sound than a loon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB8T0dV5YNA",
"I’m a sound designer for film. I guarantee you it’s not laziness. Sound editors and designers work tirelessly to make things as good as possible. It’s not just about a local bird. It’s a local bird that is recorded well, fits the emotion of the scene and show, and has purchasable synchronization license that can be used in media. If I have to decide between using a loon that works in the scene and sacrificing my time on the monster, I’m going to use the tried and true sound and focus on making the thing that doesn’t exist. Canned design is so much worse than a single cliche.",
"[Can we discuss the fact that the Kookaburra call is also used in ANY movie with a tropical jungle and it's ridiculous?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc_-icFHwQo)\n\nDISCLAIMER; I think it's less commonly used these days but definitely in older retro movies and tv shows.",
"> It's hard to tell which film kicked off Hollywood's Loon obsession\n\nReally though, it was because a sound fx recording was tagged 'bird spooky' or 'bird haunting'. Most sound editors type keywords into their database and throw that into the project without any consideration of what it means. No one has time to research bird calls on an average film.",
"\nwhat a really specific and weird thing to be upset about.",
"Oh great thanks first it was the Wilhelm scream now i won't be able stop noticing this sound. While we are at it is there any other sound effect i should know about",
"I have a cabin in Northern Michigan on a lake and when I took my gf now wife there for the first time she was woken up by the loons and thought it was a monster or something out in the woods!",

"**Original content** \nThomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an English philosopher, considered to be one of the founders of modern political philosophy. \nTo logically and theoretically understand why State is sovereign? – Why can a person not have police power? – Why only State can use it? – Why do they have a monopoly of force? – Modern Political system? We have to bank upon Hobbes. \nIn the ‘State of Nature’ (hypothetical concept when there is no State), there is no injustice as power is right. Therefore, no concept of justice. **In international politics**, there is a struggle for power as there is no concept of justice. In Hobbes Leviathan (State), justice exists as law becomes the yardstick for justice and injustice. \n“where there is no common power – there is no law, and when there is no law there is no injustice” ",

"Fairy rings and Iron Age forts are not the same thing. \n\nFairy rings are found by the thousands all over ireland, and are often no larger than a hula hoop. They often have nothing to do with Iron Age forts and settlements. Fairy rings are caused by the growth of fungi under the soil that can either lead to a circle or mushrooms or a circle of discolored grass. That’s the standard fairy rings. \n\nStone forts are sometimes called fairy rings, but it’s not the same thing. Moreover, to suggest the irish don’t take “pride” in our history is fair. Why should we take pride in something other folk did before us? But that’s not to say we don’t feel a strong connection. My roots in ireland go back to cemeteries that are 500 years old, and I have a plot in that Cemetary where I plan to be buried. To suggest we don’t feel a tie to our cultural past isn’t right, we just don’t brag about it because it isn’t ours. \n\nMoreover, we do certainly celebrate the past. The Hill of Tara and Newgrange are immensely important historical sites in ireland that many school children were brought to visit as a child. And everyone grows up knowing our legends, such as Cu Chulainn.",
"Sorry if I wasn’t clear or if I misrepresented something. I didn’t mean to imply that there was no pride in the past and I’m sorry that it came across that way. Quite the opposite in fact! I was responding to the superstitions spoken about in the video.

"**[Fairy fort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_fort)** \n \n >Fairy forts (also known as lios or raths from the Irish, referring to an earthen mound) are the remains of stone circles, ringforts, hillforts, or other circular prehistoric dwellings in Ireland. From (possibly) the late Iron Age to early Christian times, the island's occupants built circular structures with earth banks or ditches. These were sometimes topped with wooden palisades and wooden framed buildings. As the dwellings were not durable, in many cases only vague circular marks remain in the landscape.\n \n^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/videos/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)",

"You should have seen it before",
"Guinness.",
">it always baffles me that more folksy interest and pride isn’t taken in the fact that people have been in Ireland for so long.\n\nThose settlements are pre-Christian and essentially pre-writing. The higher tiers of Iron Age society inhabited them. And they were the Druids, the allegorical snakes who Saint Patrick is said to have driven out (i.e converted). Or going one level above that, the allegory is Christianity itself replacing Druidism. \n\nAll that is to say one belief system and historical record was (with a few quirks here and there) replaced by another. Whatever Ireland was like when Druids were doing their thing is almost as alien to us as it is to you. It's hard to feel associated with it and we weren't really encouraged to try.\n\nBut from an archaeological timescale point of view, there is interest and pride. We have good protections for Iron Age and Stone Age structures and they've been well researched and studied.",
"Today he’d be doing YouTube challenges",
"I would think the ancient inhabitants would be happy to see that people are still living in and appreciating their monument",
"Are the snakes really meant to be the Druids??? I have always assumed that the story of Saint Patrick was just another myth to explain why there are no adders in Ireland.",
"A hobby metal detectors dream then?",
"I think part of the problem is that Iron Age remnants are **everywhere**. \n\nAs for \"taking pride in the old stuff\", there is Newgrange. It's a passage tomb, but on the winter solstice it aligns with the rising sun and the inside lights up - so clearly it was built to indicate the solstice. Oh, and it's older than Stonehenge or the great pyramids of Gyza (it was built around 3,000 BC).",
"> Fairy rings and Iron Age forts are not the same thing.\n\nAnd the video calls it what it is - \"A Raheen, or Fairy **Fort**\". [And a contemporary description of a raheen makes it clear they don't mean a fairy ring](https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5008925/4967074/5108916?ChapterID=5008925)",

"We know the story isn't literal and we know it was written centuries after St. Patrick died. Druids as snakes is one interpretation. There are others too.\n\nIf you were to track how the sun rises and falls throughout the year, it would appear to draw [a serpentine path across the sky](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpodcast.sjrdesign.net%2Fimages%2F024_SunPathDay.jpg&f=1&nofb=1). When early Christians talked about Sun-worshippers they also meant people who made astronomical observations of it, for such non-religious purposes as knowing when spring was coming and when to plant crops etc. Lots of Iron Age (and older) structures have such astronomical alignments. Like when the sun rises over this particular monument on this particular hill, it's the first day of the Summer solstice etc. \n\nThat's why the serpent or snake symbolises the Sun, the worship (and proto-scientific observation) of the Sun, and the people who did the worshipping and observation. And that holds true all over the ancient world.\n\nThere's a whole study of that stuff called Ophiolatreia which also incorporates the phallic and sexual connections and symbolism. Here's [an interesting old book](https://www.sacred-texts.com/etc/oph/index.htm) you can read on it. \n\n>Ophiolatreia - The Rites and mysteries connected with the origin, rise, and development of serpent worship in various parts of the world, enriched with interesting traditions, and a full description of the celebrated serpent mounds & temples, the whole forming an exposition of one of the phases of phallic, or sex worship.\n\nSo when you read early Christians talking about snakes and dragons and serpents and sex, and how evil they are, they're talking about pre-Christian belief systems.",

It is essentially a trademarked/patented apple variety (I don't really know the details), does not grow well in many areas (bad for NY, good for WA), and costs three times as much as many varieties that are very nearly as good for eating (Cortland, Granny Smith, etc.).\n\nAll of the people going on about honeycrisp and cosmic crisp here apparently are not noticing the price tag.\n\nEdit: [Here is an article about it](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-08/the-curse-of-the-honeycrisp-apple), not the one I was thinking of but there are many of you search it up.

Despite being obviously fresh and in good shape, they tasted really bad. Bitter with a bad chemical aftertaste. I thought it was probably a fluke and they must have gone bad or something.

"There is a difference between \"patent\" and \"trademark\". He never said \"patent\" at that section of the video and you can't patent a name.\nHoneycrisp wasn't trademarked so there was no way to stop others from calling their apples \"honeycrisp\". To stop that from happening again the name Sweet Tango was trademarked. Now you need their permission to call your apple a Sweet Tango",

Those breeding Red Delicious for appearance rather than flavor seem to have failed to realize they were slowly killing their own business over time as the taste got worse and worse, because in spite of how good the apple looks on the shelf, people will still rememeber how it tasted the last time they tried it.\n\n> Are consumers supposed to just pick the ugliest looking apples?\n\nThey will, if those are the only ones which ultimately taste good. Do you not buy a slightly brown bananna if you're planning to eat the bananna almost immediately? You do if you're halfway intelligent and know that brown means ripe, and ripe means tasty, even if the skin is less pretty than a bananna which is pefectly yellow or eve slightly green.",

"Some of yall have never had Pink Pearls or Nikitas and it shows.",
"I really don’t think you watched the video. The entire point was that some apple farms were staying true to the original honeycrisp flavor. Others were deviating from it because of appearance being better selling. Obviously consumers are taste driven, which is why the red delicious is no longer even sold. \n\nBut if you’re a consumer, how are you supposed to tell the difference between a fake and the real McCoy when they are marketed as the exact same apple? Even within the same bin at the same grocery store you might have a mix of the two.\n\nDo you really think you know the difference between an apple that looks fucked up because it didn’t ripen properly versus an apple that looks fucked up because it wasn’t bred for looks? Do you think the average consumer does? Especially when there is absolutely no consistency within the cultivar anymore?\n\nYou say “you buy it, you try it, and but it again if you like it,” but it’s not that simple.

"Envy is everything you like about Gala, but kicked up a notch. Also, they have a much longer shelf life before getting mushy/mealy. I got tired of the Gala lottery. When Envy apples get mealy, the peels shrivel slightly and you know without having to take a bite.",
"Now? Perhaps. But it wasn’t the case when I was a kid, you might see a Cox’s orange pippin, but the majority of apples in the shop would be granny smith, golden delicious, or bramleys.",

Always crisp, always exactly the sweetness level I wanted, totally my favorite apple, and nothing like the big mealy ones at the grocery store. They were commercially purchased too, not from a local old apple orchard or anything.

When someone has a patent, all that means is that they are the only ones you can do what is patented. Doesn't prevent others from doing other things, such as growing worse apples.\n\nA trademark on the other hand is a monopoly on a name. Which also has nothing to do with growth of anything, but can be used to prevent confusion of consumers, because the trademark owner can enforce, for example, that only certain kinds of apples can be sold under that name.\n\nAlso, patents expire. Trademarks don't. When the patent on an apple expires, anyone can grow and sell it, but the owner of the trademark can still prevent others from selling it, or other apples, under the trademark name.",

I live there and it's probably been 15 years since I last had a red delicious because everytime I had them they had a super thick skin that was bitter and the inside had the texture of foam. By all accounts the Red Delicious I experienced was the same as the one in the US. The fact that the youtuber in the video is Australian would also suggest to me the video is rooted in some personal experience too. Maybe they're better now but I definitely remember them always being awful, at least in NSW.",
"I still sometimes manage to find good crispy red delicious apples. The key to finding the good ones is something he mentioned in the video as being a trait to the 'old' red delicious apples: the skin should have some yellow on it. If it's pure red, it's going to be mushy and bad. If it has yellow, well, it's not guaranteed to be good, but you've got a good chance.\n\nOverall, though, I think even the good red delicious have been outclassed by honeycrisp and sweetango and others.",

They were by FAR the best apples I've ever had. Amazing balance of tartness and sweetness, but as crisp in texture as a honeycrisp or pink lady. They were both a joy to eat and made the best pies.\n\nSadly I haven't seen them since I moved out of the DC area",

Like any food, there are different grades, and your local markets or Whole Foods may (but not always) have better quality ones than Walmart or other discount grocery stores.\n\nI’d say size and color aren’t meaningful consistent indicators for texture, but things like how they are handled can make a difference.

"I work in a produce department and I've come to realize most people's bad experiences with apples stems from being out of refrigeration too long before being bought. Some apples do hold better than others, but some will get mealy and the skin will get kinda wrinkly rather quick.\n\nIt is interesting what he said about honeycrisp and sweet tango because the sweet tango will go bad quicker than the honeycrisp. Also would be great for their marketing if they were able to tell that story because not many people buy them.\n\nI remember eating an organic red delicious apple as soon as it came in our store and was very surprised how crisp and delicious it was. I'm sure there were multiple reasons why that was, but I've never had a red delicious taste like that.",

"While he's generally correct he glosses over one of the major points about why Red delicious is harder to find. Because it's not trade marked and anyone can grow it. Growing apples is not a massively profitable enterprise as it is. In fact here in B.C. we had a lot of orchards plowed under and converted to grape vineyards for making wine. [It's way more profitable.](https://thetyee.ca/News/2021/01/08/Last-Days-BC-Apple-Industry/) So producers tend to grow trademarked apples which they can demand more money for.

"Apples can be very dependent on growing location and climate. McIntosh and most of the varieties bred from it (Cortland, Macoun, Empire, Liberty, Spartan, etc.) do really well in the northeastern U.S. and taste great when grown there. In the south, they aren't anywhere near as good. They do better when ripening in cooler temperatures, so if September-October ends up being rather hot, than Macs might not be so good and have a mealier texture. Honeycrisp does really well in the upper midwest, but in some other locations they just don't taste that great. They are always rather bland here (PA) whereas Macs are some of the most flavorful apples you can imagine and tend to be very crisp when in season.",

John McIntosh was a Scottish immigrant who moved to the finger lakes from New York and started an apple orchard. After decades of trying so hard to create the perfect apple for the harsh northern climate and eventually almost giving up he noticed an apple tree growing from an old compost pile on the edge of his property. He left it to grow and it was the apple of his dreams. It became known as the McIntosh apple that his son later began to graft. His granddaughter is in her 60s now and is a seamstress an made some dope cotton pants to help me avoid the mosquitos where I’m staring my own farm in Oaxaca, Mexico!",

So you could be sure they were current season and nice and crisp.\n\nThen they were available year round. Idk if they weren't able to be kept in the cold stores, but something changed. Now even in February you might get a floury apple, but sometimes a good one in October.\n\nA good way to test any apple; give it a flick with your finger, if it sounds dull put it back. What you want is a crisp sound.",
"IIRC, the homogenization of produce meant that the variety of markets went away in supermarkets. That largely killed other apple varieties, as stores wanted the same selection in all their stores. Then you had that one uni orchard make a ton of delicious apple varieties, which happened to coincide with the localization of chains and supermarkets. As an added bonus, there was a single apple farmer that made a big bet and planted his entire farm with one of the new varieties, while others planted small batches (knowing Red Delicious was the only thing stores wanted), and actually managed to get the 'chicken-egg' problem of stores needing variety to offer variety and farmers needing a demand for variety before they offered variety, sorted.",

You can also go get allergy shots which will likely cure your apple allergy, though you are likely to find other allergies pop up afterwards.",

But it couldn’t survive being shipped so it nearly disappeared altogether as shipping (versus growing and selling locally) became the norm.\n\nSame for tomatoes.

Chapman's erratic but industrious efforts led to an explosion in apple varieties. \n\nSomething else the Wikipedia article says about Chapman, who was also a Christian minister:\n\n>He preached the gospel as he traveled, and during his travels he converted many Native Americans, whom he admired. The Native Americans regarded him as someone who had been touched by the Great Spirit, and even hostile tribes left him strictly alone.\n\nWhich could be interpreted in two ways: the Native peoples believed he was a holy man, or thought he was insane.

"So this also coincided with a development of seasonal allergies. I’ve learned that essentially when I chew apples it gets broken down the the same proteins found in tree pollen. This is why it only applies to non-citrus tree fruits. Pears, peaches, apples etc. it also means that I can eat apple pie because heating the apples means that protein breakdown happens in an oven instead of my mouth. \n\nI still don’t try it just to be safe….but yeah man….it’s so easy to discount it as a minor inconvenience but having enjoyed something your whole life then suddenly no longer being able to go near it is no small thing.",

"SweeTango aka the Minneiska. It’s one of the best kept apple secrets. I mean it’s not really a secret, but everyone dick rides the honeycrisp so hard that they overlook this crispy, sweetheart with a hint of tart. No apple (that I have eaten) crunches like a SweeTango. Instead of biting a piece off, it’s almost like a juicy, brittle piece shatters away from the rest of the apple. It’s a goddamn agricultural marvel. \n\nI bought a bag on a whim years ago.

"Red Delicious.\nThey used to be delicious,\nbut not so much anymore.\nHow did they go from spending 70 years\nas America's favorite apple,\nto today, where they're not even stocked\nat my local supermarket.\nI've come to the Belkin Family Lookout Farm,\none of the oldest in Massachusetts,\nto find out what happened.\nWho killed the Red Delicious?\nOur story begins 10,000 years ago\nin the Tian Shan mountains of Kazakhstan\nwith a species of tree known as the Malus sieversii.\nIt produced fruits which were similar enough\nto modern apples for you to see the resemblance,\nbut they also tasted pretty terrible.\nBest left for cooking with rather than eating raw.\nEventually some seeds from the tree\nmade their way to Europe,\nand it is at this point,\nwith European love of all things sweet,\nwhich work began on mutating the apple.\nIf you're familiar with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution\nby natural selection,\nthen you'll be aware that if parents have\nsome useful characteristics,\nthey're likely to pass on these traits\nto some of their children.\nWe can also do this artificially through selective breeding.\nFor example, if I have one ugly pumpkin,\nand were to manually cross-pollinate it\nwith another ugly pumpkin,\nthen they're likely to produce some very ugly crops.\nIf we were to then get one of these very ugly pumpkins\nand manually crossbreed it with a very large pumpkin,\nwell, then we're lucky to end up\nwith something a bit like this.\nOver the centuries, we've used this technique\non pretty much everything we eat,\nexcept, as it turns out, for apples.\nApple seeds are extreme heterozygotes.\nThat means their genetic makeup includes variations\nwhich combine randomly to cause significant differences\nin characteristics to each apple's parent.\nIn order to make better tasting apples,\nthe only option is to plant thousands of seeds\nand test out fruit from every single tree.\nOnce you have one which tastes okay,\nyou clone that individual by taking a wood sample\nand grafting it to the rootstock of another tree.\nWe call a collection of cloned apple trees a cultivar.\nIf you have one apple from one tree,\nand another apple from a different tree,\nand they're from the same cultivar,\nthen they're going to taste and look identical\nbecause they're clones of the same individual.\nOccasionally, a grafted individual isn't quite the same\nas its parents, which allows farmers to select\nfor certain traits.\nIn 1620, settlers landing in Massachusetts\nbrought with them a selection of English cultivars.\nUnfortunately, most couldn't survive in the new conditions\nso had to be abandoned.\nPeople still grew apples from seeds\nand although these didn't taste very nice for eating,\nthey were great for making cider with,\nwhich was by all accounts a very lucky thing.\nOccasionally, due to pure genetic fluke,\nan apple would come along producing nice-tasting fruit\nthat could also survive in these conditions.\nThat was something worth cloning.\nWith this rather haphazard approach,\nAmerica eventually came to produce 15,000 varieties\nof locally developed cultivars.\nSome of these tasted so good that they could be shipped back\nto the Old World,\nfetching a price up to 10 times that\nof the local English variety.\nOne of these, a hero among apples,\nwas called the Hawkeye,\nlater rebranded as Stark Delicious,\nand finally to Red Delicious.\nIt's a good point to note that at this point,\nit truly was delicious,\nheralded by some as the greatest apple of any time.\nAs America became more urbanized in the 1900s,\npeople started to getting their produce from the grocers,\nrather than the farmers that grew them.\nRather than stocking all 15,000 cultivars of American apple,\ninstead grocers selected just one.\nThat, of course, being the Red Delicious.\nThere are three factors you need to juggle\nwhen selling apples in the shops.\nFirst of these is taste.\nWhile you may think that it's the most important,\nsince it's not a factor you can test out\nuntil after paying for it, it really goes by the wayside.\nNext, we have appearance.\nPeople want a nice, bright, lipstick red apple,\nlike the one that Sleeping Beauty ate,\nbecause obviously that was really good for her.\nOriginally, Red Delicious had these weird yellow patches.\nSo obviously they had to go.\nAs it turns out,\nthe gene which gave them this yellow coloration\nis also the same gene which gave them flavor.\nSo we bred for some really nice-looking,\nbut ultimately very bland-tasting, apples.\nFinally,\npeople don't want to pay all that much for that produce.\nIn order to save money on transportation costs\nand to stop them bruising, farmers went for an apple\nthat had thick skin and mushy interior,\nmaking them bruise-resistant,\nbut also taking away the entire experience\nof eating a nice, crisp apple.\nOver the decades, we got an apple that looks good\nand was really cheap,\nbut unfortunately didn't taste all that nice.\nOur hero had turned into a villain.\nBy this point, most of America's old school cultivators\nhad long since been abandoned,\nleaving us with no viable alternative.\nSomeone would have to create their own.\nThat someone was a man named David Bedford\nand a team from the University of Minnesota.\nStarting in the 1980s,\nthey spent 30 years trying to brute force their way\nto the perfect apple,\nsome days testing out 500 different fruit.\nEventually, they succeeded with this one.\nIt tasted honeyed and had a crispy texture to it,\nso they called it the Honeycrisp.\nSoon orchards all over the country were growing it.\nBut many of these were selecting for an apple\nwhich looked better and tasted worse.\nDavid was furious.\nIt was told that the Honeycrisp\nwould destroy the Red Delicious, not join them.\nIn secret, he and his team began to work on another apple,\neventually succeeding a couple of years later\nwith the SweeTango.\nThis time, they took out a trademark on the name SweeTango,\nwhich means that you could only sell your apple\nas a SweeTango if it actually tasted like one.\nNow, customers could buy based on brand recognition\nrather than looks alone.\nWith these building blocks in place,\nsoon new apples exploded onto the market,\nbacked up with some insane investment\nand rather good advertising.\nUnder the onslaught of objectively better competition,\nit was only a matter of time\nbefore Red Delicious was defeated.\nIn a way, the story of the apple\nis also the story of America.\nArriving in a strange new land,\ninitially surviving here was difficult,\nbut as soon people and their orchards were able to thrive.\nIt's a country built on its diversity,\nand made great by some truly fantastic innovators.\nWas longterm sustainability ever sacrificed\nfor short-term profit?\nYeah, of course it was.\nBut, at least for now, it looks like things are trending up.\nApples, as American as an apple pie.\nUntil next time,\nthis has been James Dingley from the Atomic Frontier.\nKeep looking up.",

He tells a story of watching some tomatoes surviving a fall off a truck:\n\n> I [Estabrook] thought to myself wait, wait, apples don't grow in Florida. And as I pulled up behind [the truck carrying what looked like green apples], I saw they were tomatoes, a whole truckload mounded over with perfectly green tomatoes, not a shade of pink or red in sight. As we were going along, we came to a construction site, the truck hit a bump, and three or four of these things flew off the truck.\n\n> They narrowly missed my windshield, but they did hit the pavement. They bounced a few times, and then they rolled onto the shoulder. None of them splattered. None of them even showed cracks. I mean, a modern-day industrial tomato has no problem with falling off a truck at 60 miles an hour on an interstate highway.\n\nHe also highlights the terrible conditions in which the workers live:\n\n> FLATOW: Wow, and you outline in your book something I have never heard since I watched \"The Grapes of Wrath\" on television recently, that there are there are foreign workers who are brought in and they are made to be virtual slaves to pick these tomatoes.\n\n> ESTABROOK: I'm going to have to take a little bit of an issue with you. Virtual is not a qualifier I would use.

I'd be surprised if, when something's grown in its millions and then has *so* many other variables to contend with between being grown and you eating it, there *weren't* the odd few that weren't so nice. What's weird to me is how, the different varieties of fruit generally at supermarkets and grocers seem to be on average good for periods of time and then that same variety on average not so good and the varieties I'd previously eschewed now have become the go-to variety to buy. I thought it might have been a seasonal thing, but the following year there's no guarantee the formerly good variety will be good again. It's to the point now that every few months everything needs a switch up and even ones I'd cast in to the never-buy category become a viable option when my favourites have turned bad.",

Region where Red Delicious are now sourced from, 2. Storage and handling in distribution centers, and 3. Shortcuts in the growing process. Those tend to be common factors with other produce.

"> I really don’t think you watched the video. The entire point was that some apple farms were staying true to the original honeycrisp flavor.\n\nYes, but your post was suggesting consumers would not select an apple which looks worse. They would if the worse apples consistently tasted better. Which they would if the pretty apples had all the flavor bred out of them.\n\nBut supermarkets are the problem here. They're the ones choosing not to carry any of the ugly fruit, so consumers have no choice but to buy the less flavorful fruit, or choose nothing at all. \n\n> Do you really think you know the difference between an apple that looks fucked up because it didn’t ripen properly versus an apple that looks fucked up because it wasn’t bred for looks?\n\nWe're not talking about a mixed bin of the same variety of apple. We're talking about one bin with an ugly variety of apple, and another with a good variety of apple.\n\nYou could achieve this without resorting to patents or even needing different apple varieties simply by having supermarkets seperate the apples by the farms that produced them. One farm will have ugly honeycrisp that taste great and another will have pretty honeycrisp which taste terrible. Consumers would figure it out eventually. But again, that relies on the supermarkets to do the right thing, or even stock the ugly apples, which they won't. So I guess patents / trademarks are the way to go. Personally I think trademark is the better option. Package those apples in bags and put your company name on them and market it like Coke and then you don't have to patent the thing in order for consumers to be ensured of getting consistent quality.",

My kids like honey crisps I think mostly for the name, because the name sounds yummy. But I usually go for others and the kids love them - golden delicious (gotta make sure they’re not bruised, GDelish get bruised easily), cosmic crisp, or gala. A lot of the others - pink lady, Kansai, Fuji, etc - around here, taste sweet-bland. I’m sure they do taste really great elsewhere. Here, not so much.

"I mean...it was bred by the U of MN...why we thanking you lol?",
"Usually it’s a decade or two. But cosmic is very early into it, and they can keep reapplying for the patent or whatever so it may never be released. Cosmic is a pretty evil variety when you’re on the production side of things, though. It’s Washington retaliating against the fact that the east coast produces better quality honeycrisp. They are planting tons of acres of this variety in hopes of devaluing honeycrisp (the only apple variety keeping eastern US farms afloat). It’s fine if you want to buy it, but it hurts apple farms in every other state. If you haven’t tried SnapDragon or RubyFrost yet, please do!",
"They are a cross of red and yellow delicious! You can find them at honeycrisp.com",
"They grow them at Scott Farm in Vermont. Artifact Cider uses Scott Farm apples for their cider. They're ridiculously knowledgeable about heirloom apples.",
"Didn’t someone reply and say honeycrisp wasn’t created in MN? Haha sorry I honestly have no idea. It’s MI state mandate to respond to any comment representing MN in a positive light with a comment about MI.\n\nDid you know Michigan has 12,000 inland lakes? Albeit the criteria we use is different than MN’s. Still. Interesting.",

"Ugh, sorry to hear that!!",
"I've been thinking about it, and maybe it's sugar content versus acidity. I'm in America, so I don't imagine I'm getting any apples from NZ. I also really like granny smith apples, and they last forever, maybe because of the acidity. Maybe there's just not as much with pink lady apples so that they taste sweeter, but they turn gritty and lose that snap to the skin relatively quickly. I'm just spitballing there.",
"[Lobo apples](https://www.orangepippin.com/varieties/apples/lobo) are my fav (unfortunately can't find them in any London, Ontario grocery stores). Crisp, and slightly tart. \n\nGreen apples are the best for baking apple pies.",

"They are harvested in November, keep checking!",

"Now that's patrician taste. I don't eat anything but Granny Smiths, sometimes I'll buy Spartan or McIntosh. Apples have to be tangy!",
"> an even more crisp apple with McIntosh?\n\nI feel like I'm reading posts from an alternate world or something. McIntosh apples are terrible. They're the opposite of crisp, they're mealy, soft, and have a poor flavor.",
"> I bought some McIntosh apples for a change last week and they were bland mushy crap.\n\nYes, they're absolutely terrible. It blows my mind that several people in this thread have said those are their favorite.",
"No, are they yummy?",
"Hm, where do you live? And what time of year are you buying them?\n\nI live in the Midwest where I rarely see them, but I grew up in northern NY where I would buy them late fall thru early winter and they were always the most crisp to bite into, yet the flesh still had a wonderful fine texture. The skins are slightly thicker than other apples though, but it kind of adds to the crunch when you bite in. They were not as sweet as some other apples.",
"Good riddance, red delicious is terrible",
"Yea, in Michigan we also do a lot of apples. I honestly haven't seen red delicious in a long time and this video helped explain why. They are very....wet-cardboard feeling and tasting. Apple variety is a fascinating topic. Apparently it's even fairly recent that \"eating apples\" as opposed to juice or cider apples have even profitable at all for most farmers. Lots of other apples are also good for pies, and that is what was told was what Michigan apples were mainly for for a very long time, but I don't really have anything to back that up with besides what family told me.",
"They’re the best Apples I’ve ever had. Very short window for them though.",
"Just checked out his channel - a wide choice of engineering-related vids of seemingly high production values. https://www.youtube.com/c/atomicfrontieronline/featured",
"Awww, Lucy's the best",
"They have a great balance of sweet with slightly acidic, so they're not cloyingly sweet like many varieties. The flesh is lovely and crisp, with a much thinner and more palatable skin than many apples.\n\nBeyond that, I'm not sure how else to describe them in any way that does them justice, they have a subtle flavour all of their own that has to be tried!\n\nHere in the UK they're one of the standard 6 or 7 varieties of apple you see most everywhere (though perhaps not quite as much as you used to), so perhaps they're a traditionally English cultivar which isn't so readily available elsewhere?",
"I know it’s been two days but I was at the store thinking about apples and oranges and my pink lady gang. And my goofy ass burst out laughing looking at apples and thought “apple-krips vs blood oranges.” I’m sure people thought I was insane.\n\nStill pink lady gang 4 life.",
"It clearly wasn't fuck head or you'd be able to answer.",
"Jesus Christ what the fuck\n\nFirst of all, the entire video is one big explanation of what killed the Red Delicious: It became bred for looks and durability at the expense of taste. Literally from the transcript:\n\n>Originally, Red Delicious had these weird yellow patches. So obviously they had to go. **As it turns out, the gene which gave them this yellow coloration is also the same gene which gave them flavor. So we bred for some really nice-looking, but ultimately very bland-tasting, apples. Finally, people don't want to pay all that much for that produce. In order to save money on transportation costs and to stop them bruising, farmers went for an apple that had thick skin and mushy interior, making them bruise-resistant, but also taking away the entire experience of eating a nice, crisp apple.** Over the decades, we got an apple that looks good and was really cheap, but unfortunately didn't taste all that nice. Our hero had turned into a villain.\n\nSecond of all...\n\n>It tasted honeyed and had a crispy texture to it, so they called it the Honeycrisp. Soon orchards all over the country were growing it. **But many of these were selecting for an apple which looked better and tasted worse. David was furious.** It was told that the Honeycrisp would destroy the Red Delicious, not join them. In secret, he and his team began to work on another apple, eventually succeeding a couple of years later with the SweeTango. This time, they took out a trademark on the name SweeTango, which means that you could only sell your apple as a SweeTango if it actually tasted like one.\n\nAlso literally from the transcript. It's incredibly clearly stated, I really don't understand what's so hard about this.",

"Gotta check out evercrisps. Mix of honeycrisps and fuji",

I see mass inefficiencies and unfinished products waste millions.\n\nOur systems are garbage. We've been trying to migrate to the Cloud for two years now and IT can't figure out how to wire up the connectors or build the proper APIs. I work with automation and Machine Learning and I can't the proper data. They tell me to work with what we have, and it's all unstructured and laughable sample sizes. The models just won't work.

"I lead a team which is based in India and there's a huge gap between the guys from solidly middle-class (like Mumbai) backgrounds and guys who have come up from rural poor backgrounds. The former are almost indistinguishable from our on-shore colleagues, latter there's a bit of a disconnect.\n\n\nWhat I think it is is that being middle-class is about fitting in. It's about not looking like you're trying too hard at anything, looking like you're owed everything that comes to you, never admitting that you're excited by what's on offer. \n\nIf you go to a club and see a guy in a three-piece suit then it's almost certainly a blue-collar worker. If you see someone in an old t-shirt and old jeans then it's probably someone relatively wealthy. It's about visibly demonstrating that you know the 'code' and have nothing to prove. Maybe it's different abroad but people in the UK take it absurd extremes sometimes.\n\n\nBut then you've got a guy from Chhattisgarh who's managed to scrape a degree and get a well-paying tech job in Bangalore despite growing up without electricity or indoor toilets. For him being able to afford a proper watch, a flagship phone, a camera to start his photography hobby, a flat of his own - it's all new and exciting and he's not had an \"induction\" into the omerta of being middle-class, so *of course* he wants to share it! In the UK people only talk about their football teams negatively, but this dude (uh, hypothetical dude) grew up wearing a Liverpool strip despite not having a TV and *definitely* not watching the games, so he wants to bask in the excitement of watching them and talking about them.\n\n\nSo yeah, I think what you've seen is the effect of a rapidly expanding middle-class which is *very* globally exposed. They might not know how to be 'cool' about it but they're having a much better time than people on triple their salary worrying about whether it's still okay to be into Tame Impala or not.",
