You clearly didn't read the book lol
-
The oasis. A world where the only limit is your imagination. As long as your imagination is based on someone else's imagination.
-
The author: "Yeah! The movie sucked!" "The book and the film" The author: "Oh."
-
What pisses me of the most is how they incorrectly threw the holy hand granade of Antioch, they just wanted to put as many pop culture references as possible.
-
“Evil corporation, basically EA Games”
-
wades the sort of dude who irl would refer to women as THE FEMALES
-
"if a gun had a soul and it didn't want to be a gun" Tell that to the machine spirits of all the bolters mate
-
I always assumed people watched this purely for the pop culture references. I didn't realize people actually thought it was a good story.
-
I thought I was going to hate this video, and be mad at the points made. Then he actually made some really great points, and I now agree with him... Great video!
-
Not to mention how the two days the Oasis is closed... Like how is that actually supposed to be beneficial? If you're get drunk/wasted only on weeknights, you're still an alcoholic.
-
This actually touches on something that I’ve been really hating about movies and media lately. The concept of referencing something that I already like, and by association, surely I must like this other thing, this other thing must easily be also good, because I like the source material or something that is referenced.
-
I always wondered why I never could get into ready player one was. Then I listened to this and realized it because ready player one is just nice guy fan fiction.
-
On one hand there's MECHAGODZILLA but on another there's R/NICEGUYS
-
ready player one: an r/niceguys and r/nicegirls power fantasy
-
spy kids 3D > ready player one
-
So basically the plot of most of chinese webtoon and web novel where the protagonist skill is plot skill and the armor is plot armor
-
As someone who had to read the book for class, it wasn’t that good. Also, the MSN conversation you mentioned, was like 8 pages long, not just 1. It was hell
-
Someone finally put this to words! Thank you Karl!
-
Addendum: the writer of the book even writes the female love interest as a reward more than anything else. He only gets to see her at the end of the final battle after he's 'won' and this is a deliberate choice of the writer. Rather than seeing her before and using that meeting to motivate the main character or something to that effect, nah, she's just a trophy basically.
-
You have ruined RPO for me but i'm not mad. Thank you for opening my eyes to this.
