Ryan George (Pitch Meetings)

Okay seriously, Ryan George/Screen Rant should just stop with the whole eye thing. Does anyone actually enjoy this kind of thumbnails?

Is that what bothers you? lol

I love this one. Haven't seen Tenet but it sounds right up my alley.

It’s a distinctive way of letting you know this is a Pitch Meeting and not Screen Rant’s usual malarkey or Ryan George’s satires.

Yeah, I am not a fan of the style, but it does it job communicating what it is, so it is fine.

Are you guys saying that there are people checking out Screen Rant for anything other than the Pitch Meeting series?

The Polar Express Pitch Meeting

You know, I feel like I've had a nightmare like this film once... oh, no. AM I STILL IN IT? IS THIS REALITY? AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

October is the best! "Death"

Wonder Woman 1984 Pitch Meeting

Wait why couldn’t they buy a commercial flight to Egypt?

Maybe it was like in Jojos Bizarre Adventure Part 3, where a flight to Egypt is so dangerous that the main characters just give up air routes.

Honestly WW 84's plot genuinely makes no sense. It feels like an 7th season episode of a show that was meant for five seasons.

... that said it's pretty fun and I think I like it more than the first WW movie. It's just nonsensical and weird.

Power Rangers Pitch Meeting

He really needed to go into details about how the movie is actually really fun when it's being The Breakfast Club.

Once again, I'm really glad I didn't bother to watch this and only saw the Pitch Meeting.

Way, way too much set-up.

As far as the movie goes, I think it's better than about half of the Power Rangers shows.

That's not exactly a recommendation. I used to watch Power Rangers with my son, and despite every single one of them having exactly the same plot, the absurd villains, and the pathetically obvious fact that all the combat scenes are Japanese while the voices bits are dubbed over by Americans... wait, I said "despite", implying that there was a positive there.

It's mindless entertainment for kids, so the issue of "quality" seems largely inapplicable, like someone wondering where the fast food burger they've eaten ten times this week ranks in terms of health. What astonishes me is how many supposed adults take the thing seriously. I grew out of my Transformers obsession by the time I was old enough to drive, so it's at least possible to have mature taste in media.

Well, I also like Deadpool, so scratch that.

Like i said, the teenager part of the plot is actually really good. The scenes where they train, become friends. Really good material.

The stuff that draws it down is the power rangers bit. The action is kinda boring and forgettable, except for the part where the megazord backhands Rita into space. The zords are boring. Elizabeth Banks tries to make Rita scary by giving her serial killer vibe, but it's like...meh.

Course the Power Rangers stuff is such a small part of the Power Rangers movie, that's almost to its benefit.

It kinda reminds me of It (2017) which was a fantastic Coming of Age movie that I really enjoyed even if I didn't find the attempts at horror scary in the slightest. Hell, even my wife who is a complete movie-scardy cat didn't find it scary and she's the easiest mark in the world for scary movies.

There were some good power ranger shows out there (for being what they were).

But the best ones usually strayed furthest from their original sentai trappings anyway.

Dunno about that. My favorite one is basically a direct adaptation (Time Force) of the Sentai, changing a few things (Turning the villain from a muppet to Vernon Wells)
