What were your favorite Honest Trailer moments from the last 300 episodes? (Stream is down at 00:30:15 picks back up at 00:30:59) *FYI the stream drops for 30 seconds, please scroll forward and enjoy the entire commentary!* *Also don't miss our new documentary series Fandom Uncovered, the first episode is all about Twilight? Yup, Twilight - **kzhead.info/sun/aM-bj8NunZNqp40/bejne.html* POOL RULES One: Speak up and join the conversation- we encourage respectful debate. Two: Respect your community- racism, misogyny, homophobia and hate speech aren’t tolerated. Three: Don’t go looking for fights. Four: “Be nice.” - Dalton from Roadhouse
The Deadpool one was inspired, and the director of Kong Skull Island taking over was brilliant. The Spiderverse one was a genius concept too. And also this video where they discuss my thoughts on Thanos.
You guys forgot to include the Nick Fury car ambush from TWS in your Car Fights starring!
All of the Star Trek: TNG trailer. A true labor of love from Dan that mixed passionate love of the show and a willingness to laugh at the ridiculousness of the show’s goofier moments.
Favorite Honest Trailers moment: Kevin finally getting on to one of these discussion videos.
i'm looking forward to very wet commentary of MCU censored parodies
"Ryan! What do the kids listen to?" In which Spencer is such a dad.
I appreciate them acknowledging that they missed Yondu. Respect the humility.
I thought this video had got demonetised when the sound cut out almost right after mentioning Starlord’s “art collection”
I love that Spencer said "yeah he(dan) took that one to the face" 😂😂😂 3:56
"TO THE FACE!!!!!!"
Congratulations on 300 honest trailers. Been quite a journey. The MCU is an amazing part of that chapter
I don't know what you guys are talking about. Adult men being nervous about women was the most relatable part of the entire MCU.
The famous Kevin!! Great
I strongly disagree with the lifeless soundtrack thing. The guardians and thor ragnarok tracks elevated those movies for me.
Especially Black Panther w/ the great African instruments that have deeper meaning than just the sound they make.
And all four Alan Silvestri scores were great.
I'd say those are the exceptions that prove the rule (and Guardians' memorable music is the licensed stuff, not the original score). Other than the main Avengers theme, I can't think of a single memorable melody from the MCU -- it's all just "generic epic music," or "generic dramatic music" to me. With really great scores (say, Lord of the Rings, or Battlestar Galactica, for example), I can recognize a scene from its score. I can't say that for any of the MCU. There's a lot I love about the MCU, but to me, the scores have really been underachieving for a long time. I agree with you on Ragnorok though. That one was pretty good.
@@Doug_Hannon No way you don't find the Winter Solder soundtrack (or at least theme) memorable??
thedarkemissary truer words have not been spoken
Me: Oh good, the Honest Trailer Commentaries is up! (Sees 53 minute run time, cues up Rick James “Give It to Me Baby”)
Aha aha!
I wish Kevin said more, I was very interested to see his imput and opinions since we only hear about him and never seen him . I mean I get why he didn't. Maybe he is camera shy because he's never been in front of the camera. The commentary was great btw, it's always very fun
Yeah he's an editor. They specifically don't want to be in front of the camera
Finally the man behind the scene 👏👏
"What if the sticks where on his legs? Stilt Man! Now, we're cookin'." LOL! 😂
The “Why are we still wearing headphones?” moment made me laugh at least as much as anything in the Honest Trailer. I think there might be something wrong with my sense of humour...
Oh man I like Kevin! He didn't talk enough though, we couldn't get to know him much :/ He needs to be in front of the camera more often so he can get more confident and lose some of the tension :))
Spencer picked my fan question. Day made! Thanks for answering my question, guys!
Great question thanks for asking it!
The thumbnails for this video and the honest trailer look honestly KILLER!!
@33:00 the AC/DC song is put through the VToL craft's speakers. you can see from Natasha's PoV where the interface is hacked to put out AC/DC music
Spencer got that dad sized coffee
The soundtrack elevated GOTG so I wouldn't call that "lifeless" at all.
Pretty sure they are referring to ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK (OST) - they are right about those.
@@MeToURk Iron Man, First Avenger, Avengers, Iron Man 3, Winter Soldier, GOTG, Age of Ultron, Ant Man, Civil War, Homecoming, Ragnarok, Black Panther, Infinity War and Endgame all beg to differ.
it's by no means bad or anything, but it's not like Gunn's introducing these hidden gems practically nobody's ever heard of. As much as I'm so not any kind of Tarantino fanboy (I like most of his films quite a bit, but so many of my generation, he's like a religious figure to them) but he was pointing out a lot of 60s and 70s music that was great but obviously hadn't been remembered super well over time
Favourites include any one with “Alan!”
Omg! I have that running gag burned in my brain now so when ever I hear the name Alan I immediately chuckle and get weird looks.
Has alan come back after endgame??
Jemima Savage we might find out in the new post credit scenes when it gets rereleased
Shout out to everyone in chat yelling ALAN when the audio cut out
Get John on one of these. I know he's got some stories.
From right to left, Haley Joel Oments cool older brother, Vegan Tony Hawk, real life Robin Williams from Good Will Hunting, and Casey Affleck in Insterstellar.
Maybe you guys could do a compilation HT of all the really great movies that people request that you feel would be hard to do and then just do a mash up?
It would just be Coco on a loop
I believe Tony Stark actually overrode the Quinn Jet's speaker system when he played his music. Black Widow had used the PA just a minute before to order Loki to stand down.
Editors are the most underappreciated superheroes of filmmaking. They never get the credit they deserve.
My favourite Honest Trailer is Winter Soldier I think... But I also loooooove the Deadpool ones.. for obvious reasons. :D And Hiiii Kevin! You do an amazing job!
Now, next hurdle: The Simpsons. I want it!
Bravo Kevin for your terrific editing on honest trailers and please bring Kevin back.
Sweet TMNT mug
That's a dope/huge mug the editor has
As a massive Whovian, I think my overall favourite HT was modern Doctor Who. I also loved the classic DW episode, but I did feel really sorry for Dan, as you need to be a real die hard fan to endure sitting through that.
I hear a lot of confusion over the planets and other "space" stuff in the MCU. Basically: There are a shitload of species and habitable worlds in this galaxy. The Asgardians conquered 8, those (+Asgard) became the nine realms (from the Thor movies), which were connected with the Bifrost, also called the rainbow bridge. Earth is one of them, together with Muspelheim, Svartalfheim, Jotunheim, Nidavellir… All other worlds are not connected to the Bifrost, so you need a spaceship to go there and there are hyperlanes as well (Guardians 2) and wormholes (Thor 3, Sakaar is surrounded by them), so worlds like Xandar, Hala, Knowhere, Vormir, Titan etc. are travelled to that way. On that note: Its a bit weird, that Heimdall can see and talk to Thor while he's on Sakaar, as it's not part of the nine realms. Heimdalls power is connected to his sword, which can summon the Bifrost, so it should be contained to the nine realms.
The movies never said Heimdalls powers were connected to his sword or its powers only work within the nine realms.
“There’s going to be so much BTS in the guardian’s reboot!” Joe you are my hero. 😂😂😂
The Wes Anderson one is truly fantastic!
8:13 I'll be "that guy" in a couple ways. First, I'm commenting before the video ends, and second, I know there's a huge difference between the Norse Pantheon of the Prose Edda and Poetic Edda (of historical verbal legend and the contribution Snorri Sturluson) and Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's comic book characters, but here we go. Odin has several children, so Thor has many siblings. Hela (or Hel) is not one of them, nor is Loki for that matter. Loki is actually Odin's blood brother in that they both cut their wrists and shmushed their gross wounds together (I guess the Aesir and Juten don't fear God-AIDS), thus making Loki Thor's uncle if anything. Hel/Hela is actually Loki's illegitimate daughter, as was Fenrir/Fenris Wolf, the big wolf she was petting in Thor: Ragnarok, as well as Jormungundr, the Midgard serpent. In conclusion, Thor's biological brothers are Baldr, Vithr, and Bori (and possibly more identified by Sturluson, but unconfirmed by other traditional sources). Loki is Thor's (kind of) uncle, Hela is his cousin, and I am a know-it-all douchebag who likes to listen to lectures on KZhead, read some Neil Gaiman, and acts like some kind of scholar on the matter when in fact I'm just some grease monkey in Southern Oregon with no college education and barely made it through high school. Also Thor is supposed to have red hair. See? I can't even help myself. Are you still reading this? At this point it's on you. You're an enabler. I hope you're happy with yourself.
Genuinely hope this was cathartic for you hahahahaha :D
I'm sorry but didn't start your answer with "Um, actually..."
Don't you mean "Well, actually..."? ;)
Lol “ so much BTS” 🤣🤣🤣 was NOT expecting a kpop reference here. A trailer guys ! I always enjoy it!
I thought the same. Was not expecting Joe to drop that, love him!
I also have your versions of the songs stuck in my head... Particularly "get it out, get it out, get this song out of my head" and "we are gonna pork tonight, we are totally gonna pork" 😂 Good work you guys 😘
"For the first time in for-ever, Disney let us siiiinng"
Waiting and waiting and waiting. Finally its here
I miss this, i miss working while having this show on the background
Lon just blew my mind
Honest trailer commentary is my favorite FE/SJU show. This was a particularly good one. Missed Dan, but nice to meet Kevin.
I think electric cars had to add engine noises because they were too quiet and that made them dangerous to other drivers somehow?
Something just hit me, in Infinity war Dr Strange got on Tony's case asking if he can fly them home on the spaceship but in endgame does the "circle" thing and teleports the space team instantly.....
I noticed that while watching endgame, the only thing I could think of that rationalizes this discrepancy is that Strange learns to increase the distance while on Titan probably through watching all those different timelines.
When are y’all gonna do honest trailers for any of the TV shows, especially Daredevil? I was hoping you’d mention that here.
Except here, they were talking crap about them.
Favourite honest trailer - Jupiter ascending, favourite honest trailer commentary - The Predator. Both have my creased every time
**Pushed glasses up nose** The Audi R8 Spyder that Tony drives WAS a concept car when the movie was released. Pretty much every car that Tony drives is a pre-production car that Audi is working on. That way they can get real reaction to how it looks.
YAY! More Ska Talk!!!! I agree that her beating up people to Don't Speak would have been great though. :)
OH MY GOD ARE WE GETTING A WATERWORLD HONEST TRAILER?
The thing with both Yondu mult-hit combos is they were actually highlighted parts of the movies.
Missed Dan but rlly liked having Kevin, bring him around more :)
This is an amazing trailer and an hilarious commentary. I can tell you guys are so talented and work so hard. You always go above and beyond and rarely/if ever take the easy way out. I noticed Kevin didn't say much. Maybe he's a little camera shy. If he's up for it I would love to see him more. Congrats for 300 trailers and here's to 300 more!
There's also four people he's sharing the mic with so it's hard to pull focus! From my just a couple times on the movie fights couch I found that it was harder to speak with so many people on camera that you be distracting from, we'll see/hear more from Kevin! - Ryan
@@fandomentertainment yeah I get that. it's cool.
@@AnimalLover101195 Oh for sure could tell you understood just meant to add to your point not "yeah but" it, apologies hahaha
@@fandomentertainment But surely he gets to talk the most because he has the biggest mug. Isn't that how things get decided?
100%
Joe, I love you man, but that empty cup is driving me crazy.
The unique honest trailers are super fun to watch like, Greatest Showman, Happy Death Day, A Quiet Place, Mary Poppins, Spiderverse, the Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan compilation trailers. (I'm probably forgetting some.)
"Bloodless violence" Winter Soldier and Civil War says otherwise
very light on blood considering all the people that get shot.
"do you sketch your guilt?" such a funny line
WB Exec: Here is a successful universe, I just want it to be DC characters and live action DC Exec: Alright, sir, that's what we're trying to do but..... but honestly, it's impossible WB Exec: KEVIN FEIGE DID IT IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS. And before the inevitable comments if they read this far - I ma eguh CD naf, eno fo ym eitruovaf emit-lla sretcarahc is annataZ, yhw I tghuat flesym ot etriw sdrawkcab, I grew up on Barman 1989, reruns of the 60's shows, Batman and Superman TAS, the old Fleischer cartoons on VHS, Justice League animated series, Batman Beyond - etc. I'm a fan of both, but a bigger fan of DC. But when it comes to the DCEU they kinda dropped the ball till more recently and as fans we deserved better films than the likes of BvS.
It's great that you brought the editor on camera because it's a thankless job & glad you all highlighted him
I have been using a trackpad for almost 10 years and have been using the gestures since then. In fact I set the trackpad on the left side of my mac keyboard and use the mouse for pointing and clicking. I also use the 4 finger pinch on iPad so I don't wear out the home button. Learning gestures shouldn't be a problem for me. Probably the only thing hard about the new gestures is getting used to using 3 fingers to pinch and zoom.
This weekend my cousin's and I watched Ella Enchanted, much to the dismay to the others in the house. And that seems like one that would make a fun Honest Trailer 🤷♀️
The timeline actually makes perfect sense if you listen to how the movies tell you it goes and not by what year the movie came out
O man. I wished I had watched it live.
You guys should do an Honest Trailer for Lake Bell's "In a World"
I don't understand the hate for Ultron, Vision, the twins and Vision was Weadeon wanted them for the sequel so it was his "Vision" of the movie he wanted for the most part.
I do love (what is now) Fandom and everything you guys do or are involved with... but... the points you make about not doing "cinema sins", these are "trailers" and everything else you guys do to make Honest Trailers their own thing (something amazing we all love) - are all things I feel the current Game Trailers need to take on board more (I know they're their own thing and maybe only Spencer works on them sometimes(?); it seems relevant with you guys bringing it up here), I do love the game trailers, especially as a gaming nerd, but they feel more like Honest Reviews, very rigid and formulaic (early days too I guess maybe?). Just hopefully constructive criticism from a guy who literally does nothing but watches all your amazing content to get through the day :') Keep it up guys this trailer and commentary was awesome!
i think when dan single handedly watched all of TNG we realised this juggernaut had trancended its original format, and was a runaway train with no brakes, now nothing to do but keep going.
Re-release the MCU Honest Trailer with a bonus scene dealing with Yondu's arrow!!!!!!
Hahahah Lon was having a blast with his punchines, I loved it !!
Kevin is me in every social gathering. Happy to be there but not much to say coz I'm busy paying attention to what everyone else is saying.
16:53 - In english Wednesday is named after Odin (Vooden's day), Thursday (Thor's day), Friday (Friga/Freya's day).
I just watched that guardians scene again and you do hear boots being unstuck from the floor when Starlord shifts
Spencer Gilbert or....... Sketch your guilt-bert
👋 guys congrats on your 300th Honest Trailer!!! So 🧸 Story 2 & 3 next week? 🤔
I think we need Honest Trailers behind-the-scenes videos.
I noticed that none of their relationships go anywhere either. Tony has Pepper, the nagging girlfriend. Steve had Peggy that he went nowhere with until suddenly Endgame. Bruce was suddenly in a relationship with Natasha that disappeared overnight and then possibly he was with Valkyrie? I don't know. Clint has a family. He's the only one out of the main 6. Natasha has been bouncing around as romance partner no one wants for some reason but she's put out of her misery in Endgame. It's kind of sad honestly. I would go on but I think this comment is long enough.
I'm still hoping there will be a redo of the Agents of SHIELD honest trailer, not because it's bad but because they most likely didn't watch the whole show (unlike the other tv trailers). Apologies if I'm wrong.
There not going to watch the entire show
Considering the show was still on the air when they did the trailer, I'm not sure if they would go back and do it for what happened afterwards. I know with the Walking Dead they did a trailer for the first three seasons and then another for the next three.
Joe and, I believe, Dan still watch the show.
I am using that identical turtles mug right now
I'm amazed you guys didn't cover the thirst scenes. It feels like almost every MCU film has at least one scene of the well-built male star either shirtless or, hilariously, curling a helicopter with sun highlighting his muscular frame. Or basically any scene with Chris Hemsworth.
The Jizz line: Star Lord left Earth when he was 8... How does he A: know who Jackson Pollock is B: how does he know the context to use that in
Pollock died in 1956. He'd know who he was
Aliens steal stuff from Earth at least post-Asgardians departure. Rewatch Guardians - troll doll, Rubiks cube, more Walkman batteries, etc. Captain Marvel too. Alternatively one of his uncles was telling him all about it, or maybe they owned one?
So nice to finally see Kevin! Thank you so much for all your hard work! You always do an amazing job
22:29 Joe star is confirmed ARMY 😂😂
I don't understand why Age of Ultron is always referenced as the bad one. It is one of my favs. The introduction of Vision... all of the glorious snark between Tony & Ultron.
Compared to the other Avengers it feels rougher. The other MCU setups feel forced and the movie's pacing is not as good. It's not a bad movie, but the others are better.
I'm pretty sure they're right, Hela and Thor are only half-siblings in the MCU. I believe they are cousins in actual mythology.
In the mythology, she's Loki's daughter and yeah, Thor's cousin (Loki is Odin's adopted brother, rather than Thor's, in the mythology)
Am I crazy or was 15:51 a CR Keyleth reference?
Doesn't Star Lord's inspirational speech take place on Yondu's ship, rather than the Milano?
TheIncredibleMalk thank you! I just watched this for the first time and came her to say that
Y'all could do a compilation of 'Honest Takes' and knock out a bunch of the "just good" movies it would probably quench the needs of the fans who requested them!
The funniest thing for me: as soon as the glitch, two of the guys immediately went for their phones. No, unable to just sit there for a few seconds.
it cuts out like two minutes in between
Making Iron Man first made sense at the beginning, because he translates well to the screen. When I saw the trailer I was thinking the CLANGS of Stark punching Crimson Dynamo would be epic. And then we got...
My all time favourite trailers are probably “Les Miserables” (a movie I loved) and “The Notebook” (a movie I hated). Thanks for starting to do the commentaries: they’re even funnier than the trailers! However, I hope the commentaries don’t become a way of addressing the critiques of the comments section now that both won’t be posted at the same time. I’d rather hear the story of your own experience of creating the trailer.
my fave honest trailers....... in no particular order..... zootopia, lion king, boss baby
Hey Kevin! You’re awesome! Nice to meet you!
Waterworld!!!
Disney took over MCU distribution before Avengers 1. Contractually Paramount's logo appeared on Avengers and Iron Man 3, but Disney distributed both of those. But Marvel Studios is still the production house. Paramount (and Universal for Incredible Hulk) just had a distribution deal, so the creative continuity was unbroken from the outset. The difference between distributor and creator can best by seen now by the Spider-Man movies, which Marvel makes so it fits in the continuity, but Sony distributes it to theaters and home video per its ownership rights. Disney later acquired Distribution rights back to Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America FA, for home media distribution. Universal still controls Incredible Hulk home video rights but Disney can use it for boxed sets and such.
Disclaimer: love the show, but uh, neither the writers nor the editor caught while making the video the fact that they literally showed a clip of Thor, a character with a biological sibling as of Ragnarok (half or not), while saying he has no biological siblings?
Winter Soldier wielding Rocket should have counted as dual wielding.
audio drops out 30:23 to 31:07
Please do an Honest Trailer for Us at some point in the near future.
Actually, mentor/relative deaths were not part of the Lee/Kirby model. Iron Man and Captain America kind of had it, but it was such a quick part of those original comics, that no emotional weight was given to them until years later. Fantastic Four didn't have that, Hulk didn't, Thor didn't, Ant-Man didn't, etc. When Black Panther came along, his father was already long dead.
Adding to the comment about Disney owning so much, remember that back in 2004 Disney acquires the Muppets and the Bear in the Big Blue House properties from The Jim Henson Company. The Walt Disney Company | Muppet Wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia
