Cinema Sins

No, they can change their genders like frogs, so in an all-female population, some turn male. (It's also not made clear if that's an issue with World! Dinosaur, only that it was with Park!Dinosaurs).

Eitherway, animals like Raccoons would put such a dent in any attempt to reproduce (If the films operated on Logic). It'd be unlikely any egg would reach maturity. A species so big that it cant hide its nest (or put it atop of a tree) might as well be sending out a call to all Raccoons, Foxes, and other Ovivores to come and pillage the nest when it goes to feed, sleep, drink, etc...

Small sample size would also put a dent in any attempt to reproduce.

The one tyrannosaurus and one mosasaur on the planet aren't reproducing at all. Neither is the one allosaurus or one velociraptor. Some of the herbivores seemed to have two or three members in that tiny, tiny basement, so they might reproduce. But that just kicks the can down the road; you can't successfully repopulate from a population of like five.

That's only the tip of the vast list of ecological and biological problems facing dinosaurs on modern-day Earth. As much as I agree that the scenario presented in the Jurassic Park franchise is absurd, you have to be able to suspend a minimum amount of disbelief if you're going to get anything out of it.

It's sort of like saying, "Superpowers are impossible, therefore I won't watch any superhero movie." That doesn't make you a cool person; it makes you a douche.

That said, if a film tries to establish some kind of consistency by making claims about reality that are blatantly untrue, then it's fair game for criticism. Either be a sci-fi monster movie or be a realistic depiction of what might happen if we tried to breed dinosaurs today.

Jeremy uploaded a video on Hotel Translyvania 3 only an hour ago, and Universal already took it down.

Hah, of course they did.

Okay, real upload this time. The Cinema Sin of Hotel Translyvania 3: Summer Vacation. It's no secret that Jeremy LOATHES this series, which makes it annoying to watch. Most of these sins are excusable simply by way of the movie being a wacky cartoon that breaks its own rules all the time.

I find the hatred of this series to be completely ridiculous. There are a lot worse movies to be incredibly vitriolic about.

Vitriol isn't a zero-sum game. You can hate a bad movie and also hate another bad movie. Jeremy is under no obligation to conserve his ire for movies that "really deserve it".

True, but hearing all these sins listed one after the other, in a movie he hates, is like hearing "I hate this" spoken over and over, and it gets tiresome.

Isn't that the entire format, though?

Not when you know he isn't being personal.

Infinity War!

Sad that he didn't take off a sin for Parker's death scene. Even though he was the character more than any other I knew was coming back, the performance was legitimately moving to me. Every other one was "eh, they'll be back" but that was just a well done scene.

I didn't notice the whole "Gamora was supposedly the Last of Her Kind but oops, nope!" I wonder if future releases of GOTG 1 will quietly remove that line from the computer since while it's incredibly minor, it is a bit of a Continuity Snarl.

I wonder how long it'll be before someone adds a Dan Browned to Jeremy sinning Tony making the Iron Spidey suit so quickly by claiming that he made it back in Homecoming. Except that they're clearly not the same suit, as this one has nanotechnology that Tony just started implementing.

The comments section already pointed that out, but as you noted, that just introduces another continuity error.

So, with the new Mary Poppins coming out... Mary Poppins.

Haven't watched it since I was a kid, and even knowing memetically how bad DVD's cockney accent was, I was... not prepared to hear it as an adult. That is astoundingly bad.

I've heard it was because his acting coach (or voice coach or whatever) for the movie was really bad.

So, finally, Justice League.

Some notes: Glad he didn't focus too much on Superman's mouth. That's been covered to death. It's not ignored, but there's no reason to rehash it.

God I... I just hate this movie. Not because it's terrible, but because it's so disappointing. They take these beloved characters and give us... a movie that's "not that much worse than the Avengers that came out half a decade ago." Like, it just makes me sad. And as a "they team up to form a league!" story it's an utter failure because besides Cyborg and Supes, everyone is redundant. Making Superman as fast as the Flash isn't annoying from a "but the comics!" standpoint, it's stupid from a screenwriting standpoint.

One thing this video made me realize was that the film also had one of IW's most annoying flaws and somehow made it worse: Thanos' Infinity Stone radar mirrors the Mother Boxes calling to Steppenwolf. And as infuriating as the nonexplanation of Thanos' ability to find the Stones was, it was better than the inconsistency of the Boxes calling to Steppenwolf/him smelling it.

I can't disagree with this video at all, and Jeremy's had some misses recently.

I think that's why it took him so long to do it; I think he actually wanted to cross his tees and dot the eyes on this one because it's one he finds genuinely annoying but doesn't want it to be like Age of Ultron where his getting a few points (incredibly) wrong undermined the video.

Though I will defend his sin of Banner going "Has anyone heard from Helen Cho?" and the sin of "WHO?!?" because that scene was amazingly clunky.

Yeah, I can understand that one since she was literally on screen for a few minutes and barely introduced.

K. So not a bad film, just a needless prequel that needlessly relies on nostalgia.

It kind of is. It's an enjoyable but unnecessary film; probably the most average of the Star Wars films.

The Meg

Oh God, this movie!

This is kind of the movie that I want CS to cover the most: ones that I greatly enjoyed but is chock full of sins, like Furious 7.

When I watched this on theater, one of the audiences actually said "Shut up, Meg!" out loud. God, what fun I had that evening. XD

Smallfoot.

Man, this thing came and went fast. I didn't even know it had come out in theaters. Literally all I ever heard about it was just seeing the trailer before The Incredibles 2.

I remember seeing a lot of ads for that "Wonderful Life" song before it came out, along with a few TV commercials. The song was alright, but yeah, the movie basically came and went fast as one of those mediocre animated movies.

I find it interesting that the villain song was a rap number, but otherwise, this is painfully by-the-numbers.
