I'm gonna be generous and just assume this is sort of a "first draft." Because it seems a lot like one. Just a general idea of the flow of the story, the little world and the characters in it, made in a way that you could hack off as many pieces as you want or add new stuff along the way without too much of a hassle for the original "vision." I mean, we're talking about Bob here, so he'd probably get irate if you tried to alter his masterpiece, but I still have to assume that because there's like nothing there.

The thing that I found fascinating is how little time in this pitch is spent on character development or an actual story. The only person is to get any real development, pathos or a character arc is the villain, who Bob pretty clearly projected himself onto. Rock & Roll might as well be props because the only thing we learn about them is "they're more human than other robots." The relationship between Rock and Protoman is non-existent, and they're not even siblings in this version. Amazingly, he managed to take a series that barely had any character development and dumb it down.

A great example of this is how Megaman X shows up, but he has no brain or personality at all and is just a spooky boss for Megaman to fight. All the things that made him compelling as a character? Not important here. It's implied they'll be there later, but for now he's just Robot Bizarro. Like, it isn't particularly bad or cringey, but it's just so dull. There's like nothing to sink your teeth into. The opening scene with the big robot conference is the most interesting part because actual character development is happening.

Well like I said, he seems way more interested in having things people know. But not in any like real way. Like you said, X is here, but lacking all the stuff that makes him a character. Especially as if you cared, you would have better choices. And its all bits and scenes that he has seen elsewhere. And I cannot help but notice that the two women team to do stuff. And like I feel Ive seen the conference scene in a dozen other movies. Like in big broad strokes, but still.

Didn't Bob say once that he doesn't believe in budgets, and movies should be allowed to cost however the filmmakers want or need it to?

We might be mocking Bob over this, but really it's not far from real modern Hollywood. They add the thing you know and like, but not with any depth or even the recognizable traits you know it should have. It's just there as a reference for you to get excited for and maybe see in a CGI fight scene.

Yep, he literally wanted to shove everything into it at once and didn't care at all about things like ethos for anyone but Wily slightly. It's an overstuffed mess that makes Batman Returns look restrained with how much crap it did. And yet despite that, it's emptier than the truck of chicken nuggets he just went through.

If you want a more fun ride, his Care Bears one is really really bad. Like inspired level stupid.

Didn't Bob say once that he doesn't believe in budgets, and movies should be allowed to cost however the filmmakers want or need it to?

Yep. It only applies to ones he likes though given he tarded out when Zach Snyder got the chance to recut Justice League to be closer to what he wanted to do.

Elon Musk is just a weirdo born rich:
View attachment 2798525

Elon Musk smart enough to know who's good at what job, and to hire them and delegate responsibility. The reason Musk's companies are as successful as they are is because he knows how to bring the right people for the right jerbs together at the right place, at the right time.

In other words, Musk knows what do do because he knows who can do it, and delegates accordingly. He's smart enough to recognize his limitations and weaknesses, and he acts accordingly.

As others have said, he's smart enough to recognize good investment opportunities as well. Yes, he's heir to a gemstone fortune, but that fortune means nothing if you don't know how to use it (you need money to make money.) By shrewdly investing his money, he was able to rise to the top of the financial food chain.

So tell me, Kino der Robert: what have you used your (admittedly limited) intelligence and funds for?

Basically the Ready Player One school of film making: jingle recognizable keys in front of the audience and don't worry about anything else. "Look! It's Iron Giant!" "Wait, why are you using Iron Giant as some generic fighting robot? The whole point of the movie was --" "SHUT UP! IT'S A THING YOU LIKE! ENJOY IT!" Or in other words:

You aren't kidding. He even shoved in characters from other Megaman series. Not just Megaman X, but also Tron Bonne and Mayl Sakurai... who are both 14 year old anime girls...

uhhhhhh...

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

So, I somehow missed this one. And what I really like is that this is almost unfilmable. I'm not an expert in films, but you're talking like what 8 big fights? Not to mention a really long prologue. Two separate main characters? And not even like, simultaneous ones. Just all of a sudden the two characters we start the movie with disappear.

Actually, you know, I am a big ol fan of The Protomen. And I think there is a very important thing there. In that both albums really focus in one thing each. Sure, there are a lot of actions, but the first one really stresses that whole failure of Protoman thing, and the second the relationship between Wily and Light. And all the stuff that happens goes back to those. Like the middle of Act I is all about how Rock is following the same path, to show the difference. And the latter half of Act II is showing the relationship by showing the guilt of Light about Wily and how his actions get uhh Joe? hurt.

Like this isn't even high art. This is the shitty ideas Bob has, but done by people who have a few more brain cells, and a better understanding of how art works. And, once again, Bob is a goddamn critic. Hell I'm shit at understanding how film or TV or music or anything besides game design works, but I'm willing to bet that I have more of an understanding in why his movie is unfilmable, than he does.

EDIT:

You know what, getting thinking about it. I am reminded of this video. And as deeply autistic as it is, it's better idea and better grasp of Mega Man as a movie. In 4 minutes. Like, I shouldn't be. But I'm just impressed how incapable Bob is at understanding his actual job. Because what's more. Is he has nothing new. Like, it's dumb and hokey, but "Hope Rides Alone" is a pretty cool hook to the whole idea. And it's something. It's an interpretation of Mega Man. They made it into their own thing. Well, they made a thing using this base. And all Bob has is just "Oh I'm gonna name drop things that people recognize". Which is just so telling really, of what he enjoys. Like the Protomen were edgy kids the way they shout dumb hackney anime lines. But lines they made up. And Bob couldn't make up one thing.

The Protomen absolutely rock, and if I remember right, their first album was them "breaking all the rules our teachers taught us", which is very important in art. One must know the rules, to break them in fun and cool ways. The fact they have multiple albums speaks to them putting in way more effort than Bob ever did.

I wonder where Bob learned how to do a "pitch". Do they teach it at the community college in the film studies department? Or did Bob just ask some people how pitches at Hollywood are made? I get the feeling that Bob at least believes "pitch first, worry about development later". Like, I get the idea that a "pitch" isn't really as involved as an entire story, it's just a rough-drafty-ish thing people do in order to get a producer/studio to greenlight a thing, and then everything else comes after.

First draft implied he would ever make more.

I find the pitches amusing because they are exactly what I expect a story from Bob to be: Half-assed, missing the point of the original, and just cobbled together from things he thinks people will like. There's no thought to it because Bob never thinks about what he's doing.

Didn't Bob say once that he doesn't believe in budgets, and movies should be allowed to cost however the filmmakers want or need it to?

Yep, because he thinks bigger is better. Must be why he got so fat.

BTW Lesser Brother loves Dune.

To said brother's credit, at least he likes what he likes. It might be something stupid like his idealized memories of Blockbuster, but he doesn't force every last thought through the dirty old coffee filter of political "insight" before posting.

His brother has his own job and place, more than anything Bob will ever be able to accomplish.

move away personal vietnam, trump presidency being as evil as a blue rat movie is IN
i know is a pold post but relevant nonetheless

 

[Mr. Duck]

Is he implying that they are enslaving the animators again for the sequel?, he really can't get over the fact that the studio listened to the fans after the reception for the original movie design.

Then again, he tried to justify ME3's terrible ending (without even playing any game in the series), just because the audience hated it.

EDIT: Boebert's shit take on ME3 (first 2 minutes are unrelated Game Overeater autism).

Good thing Mario never had any kind of media product that required animators.

I'm late as shit, and I apologize for that, but I take offense to what Blob said here.
Jeremy Irons didn't just chew the scenery, he went full fucking Tarrasque all up in that piece. He was clearly the only one having fun on set. I unironically like that movie, and it's all thanks to Profion.
Bob is fat and Thora Birch would have him raped in a dungeon by ol' blue lips Damodar.

 

[Gaear Grimsrud]

I really hope the Sonic movie franchise runs a long time because the amount of butthurt it causes Bob for existing is outstanding.

 

[Grumpy Pickle Rick]

Yep, because he thinks bigger is better. Must be why he got so fat.

I never understood why Bob and his ilk think ‘bigger is better’. I really don’t understand that mindset.

I mean, why can’t they settle for being great, why do they always got to be better than everybody and everything else.

I know they’re narcissistic but still it baffles me.

Because they're midwits who need some kind of concrete proof that they're doing better than the rest of humanity, and having "more" of something is as basic bitch as you get when it comes to doing better than someone. BTW, Genuine millionaires and the super rich often don't flaunt their riches in a crass way. Rather, they buy high quality items with obscure named brands that only other millionaires would know about. Crass, nouveau-riche celebrities who just stumble onto money will buy big flashy shit to flaunt their newfound wealth and people like MovieBob will act all impressed at these trashy displays, not realizing that actual, classy rich people are looking down their noses at them.
