Summary of This Desperation is Crazy
In the video titled "This Desperation is Crazy," the host critiques Sony's marketing strategy for its upcoming film, "Craven the Hunter," highlighting the company's apparent panic over the lack of buzz surrounding their new release. The video opens with a humorous take on Sony's track record, referencing the infamous failure of "Morbius," which was re-released after its initial flop, only to flop again due to misguided confidence in meme culture.
The host discusses the release of an 8-minute intro for "Craven the Hunter" on YouTube, suggesting that this move reflects Sony's desperation to attract viewers. He humorously compares the film's quality to previous Sony projects, like "Madam Web," and expresses a mix of skepticism and cautious optimism about "Craven." He notes that while the opening sequence is not groundbreaking, it is more competent than its predecessors, showcasing some action sequences that suggest a formulaic but entertaining experience.
The host critiques Sony's misunderstanding of the anti-hero concept, arguing that "Craven" appears to be more of a traditional hero rather than an anti-hero, despite its R-rating and violent content. He emphasizes that for a film centered on an anti-hero, the character should embody the moral ambiguity typically associated with that archetype, rather than simply being a "good guy" who kills bad guys.
Throughout the video, there are several humorous moments and exaggerated reactions, such as the idea of a hypnotist being brought in to convince audiences to see the film. The host expresses curiosity about whether Sony will ever learn from its past mistakes and adapt its approach to storytelling.
