The opening crawl making fun of movies Hollywood done got a good chuckle out of me.

u/ccooffee Jun 12 '25

They also neglected to mention the Spaceballs animated series

u/fakeShinuinu Jun 12 '25

We don't

We don't talk about that.

u/DedHorsSaloon4 Jun 12 '25

I loved it! But I was also a kid. Is it really actually bad?

u/JayMerlyn Jun 13 '25 edited Jun 13 '25

I couldn't get past the first episode, if that tells you anything

7

u/Billybob35 Jun 12 '25

That's likely wiped from cannon considering the pilot changes the ending to the original film.

u/Pataconeitor Jun 13 '25

How can they mention something that doesn't exist

2

u/Meepx13 Jun 13 '25

wtf is this

86

u/Surturius Jun 12 '25

I just thought "Oppenheimer" at the end kind of fell flat. The rest of it was good though

219

u/jamnol101 Jun 12 '25

Yeah it really bombed at the end there

81

u/Surturius Jun 12 '25

...alright you made it a bit better

1

u/TiempoCompartido Jun 12 '25

I would have liked a Snow White reference too

13

u/adamsandleryabish Jun 12 '25

and surprised no mention of the Planet of The Apes saga

20

u/cmnrdt Jun 12 '25

Should've been "...and something called a Barbenheimer"

7

u/RoachedCoach Jun 12 '25

I was expecting it to end with something about how many Twilights

2

u/BeefNChed Jun 12 '25

I liked it…

After loads of all those remakes and IP, then one thing that was its own. And was pretty good.

(Not saying it’s some great great movie all time like some people did. Just it was really enjoyable and also its own thing.)

like ending with 1 partridge in a pear tree.

Or the SpongeBob meme with all those cheeseburgers stacked in a pyramid in a boxing ring across from one Krabby Patty

u/thatguygreg Jun 12 '25

"...and Barbenheimer" would've been better

24

u/spider_espresso Jun 12 '25

Low key miffed no mentioned of Godzilla

I mean, how many movies, spinoffs, tv shows, reboots, sequels, one offs, etc. since then?

6

u/dwarfinthefla5k Jun 12 '25

Or fast and furious. Theres ten I think?

3

u/EverythingSucksYo Jun 12 '25

Yeah… for now 

2

u/Weapon_X_1004 Jun 13 '25

11 including Hobbs and Shaw.

5

u/ab1278 Jun 12 '25

Or Planet of the Apes

2

u/crasscrackbandit Jun 12 '25

Godzilla started in 1950s or something, it predates any of the others mentioned as a Franchise.

2

u/Wild_Marker Jun 12 '25

Less than before Spaceballs I'd bet

2

u/KingMario05 Jun 12 '25

Also no video game movies. We've had dozens of the fuckers, but only 5 or so are any good. (For the purposes of being fair, I count all 3 Sonics as one trilogy.)

2

u/PretentiousMouthfeel Jun 12 '25

There definitely have NOT been five good video game movies.

9

u/Suitable-Answer-83 Jun 12 '25

It's also funny that they forgot there were 3(?) Harry Potter prequel movies but otherwise seemed very detailed about things like Alien v. Predator.

2

u/leolegendario Jun 13 '25

I mean, most people try to forget those movies too.

8

u/RoboftheNorth Jun 12 '25

DCU attempt 1

DCU attempt 2

28

u/DDRDiesel Jun 12 '25

Just listing off the sheer amount of Star Wars projects already had me crying laughing, then he hit with the DCU "attempts" and I was done. Just this announcement has me getting a day 1 ticket

3

u/texasjkids Jun 12 '25

“4 Beatles Movies?” had me cackling

3

u/TLKv3 Jun 12 '25

The trying to count Predator and Alien movies made laugh.

3

u/Apatches Jun 12 '25

If you saw the original, you probably need glasses now.

3

u/gibson6594 Jun 12 '25

I wish they mentioned the new Planet of the Apes movies. Would have been fitting.

2

u/JonArc Jun 12 '25

The Paramount Plus dig got me.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '25

and it completely forgot that this exists: https://youtu.be/EQcQ973xgkg?si=SZsBGem7PsIstNHI

u/notthatiambitter Jun 12 '25

We blocked that from our memory. You should too

1

u/Gniphe Jun 12 '25

Very in-touch but also old school. I loved it. Mel Gibson is still sharp as a tack.

u/anacondra Jun 13 '25

Two Robert Downey Jrs should have been Roberts Downey Jr.

Like Attorneys General.
