Why Modern Movies Suck - Nobody Can Stay Dead!

"Somehow Palpatine returned" will remain the absolute worst written line in cinematic history and no one can tell me otherwise

It’s surprising that death is even considered a possibility in storytelling these days, given that modern protagonists have plot armour thicker than the writer’s skulls

Some will call it “actions without consequences,” I call it “lazy writing”

Remember when stories were allowed to END?

“Somehow…palpatine returned” I walked out

Good thing Disney overcame all this by not letting characters die in the first place, even though they just got run through with a lightsaber. What a genius move.

The concept of multiverse was utilized in comics to accomodate new art styles and costume renditions of new illustrators without having to erase the past versions. In movies, it's just used to plug plot holes.

It used to be "dead men tell no tales" and it has devolved into "dead characters sell no tickets".

The closing shot of Maximus heading through the Elysian fields is a perfect example of how death drives home a storyline and culminates a character's journey. It's "Happily ever after" for the real world.

I love that the entire video ended on the shot of Elysium’s fields in “Gladiator”; one of the most poignant stories of “embracing death with dignity” in cinema history. “What we do in life echoes in eternity.”
