What is YA?
>>67272413
Movies aimed at young adults that throw out five movies in three years that are all identical.
>>67272413
young adult
>>67272375
Divergent series has always been the weakest of the three
>>67272375I unironically enjoy the Maze Runner movies
i love you katnip
It all started with Harry Potter, right? I say it's about time.
Decades ago, when Italy still had a movie industry, we would have gotten dozens of crazy Italian clones of the genre by now instead of these sterile Hollywood made-by-committee bullshit.
>>67272480
No you don't.
>>67272375
Reminder that Hunger Games 2 was a genuinely good movie
>>67272507
I wouldn't say so, I'd say it really began with Twilight. Harry Potter were kids' films the audience grew up with, and also, their releases were mostly paced reasonably.
>>67272507
Harry Potter advanced in age over time along with the reader, so from preteen to teens
>>67272375
Still waiting for "Not Another Young Adult Movie"
>>67272375
I thought TFA was a shitty YA clone.
>>67272631
OOOOH HE WENT THERE
Yeah, you're right.
>>67272631
FTA was definitely a YA clone and I fucking hoped Indy 5 & 6 are not like that
>>67272550

What the fuck is with this bitch and her popularity? She is so fucking bland looking and infuriatingly pudgy I do not believe for a second that she is capable of pulling off any heroic feats with that flabby, inactive as fuck body.

>>67272375
YA has been circling the drain for a few years now and looks ready to me pushed aside.
I didn't hate the three OP movies, I've seen much worse, but they all just hit the same beats over and over so if you've seen one you've seen them all. At least Divergent implied that the characters fucked and weren't sexless Barbie dolls.
>>67272480
I did somewhat enjoy the first one even if it had some problems.
The second one was trash though. Aidan was great but everything else is shit.
>>67272375
No its not the end of YA just the dystopia subgenre.
>>67272480
Same.
>>67272480
I liked the first one, but the second one just didn't do it for me.
>>67272441
I don't know how it ended up having two sequels.
Does this one also belong in that list?
>>67274204
*SNAP*
>>67272375
Deserves it! I daresay it does. Many movies that have sequels deserve development hell. And some that are cancelled deserve remakes. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out rotten ratings in judgement.
>>67273928
>but they all just hit the same beats over and over
And with increasingly ludicrous starting points, to make it try and stand out.
>>67274204
nah, that's like 2012 or san andreas, it's an entire different shitty genre
>>67273783
She looks like a rapebabay of Lena Dunham forcefucking JLaw.
>>67273928
Isn't that the movie where all the commercials were just screaming teenage girls and told us nothing about the movie
Should YA's be allowed to read?
>>67272375
We can only hope it is.
>>67272480First one was good, second didn't click for me. I hope third will be decent
>>67275410
I can't believe I'm saying this but it's actually worse than the movie.
>>67273928
Standard YA Formula:
>Teen lead
>In society run by oppressive regime of evil government
>Teen eventually joins rebellion
>Overthrows evil authority
I can't believe how un-self-aware people are about this. It's obviously all meant to appeal to the stereotypical teen "Grown-ups don't understand me, they're just bad, freedumb 5ever". Do people watch it just to be ironic or something?
I feel like writing a series about a group of upstanding youths protecting their good and just society from bands of violent rebels, overcoming their adversaries' wild, self-centered ways with discipline and honor.
>>67272375
I don't recognize the ones on the top and bottom, are they new?
>>67275632
>I feel like writing a series about a group of upstanding youths protecting their good and just society from bands of violent rebels, overcoming their adversaries' wild, self-centered ways with discipline and honor.
Sounds like a shonen anime
>>67275632
don't forget that everyone in the rebellion are also teens
>>67272375
Hope so.
Most teens don't even read books so...fuck em.
>>67275663
Shounen animes are all actually about male friendships with homosexual undertones. Every single one. The plot is just window-dressing
>>67272413
Young Ass
>>67275632
Yeah I like the idea, but it's been done to death in anime. It's tough coming up with an original script.
That's why everything is so formulaic.
>>67274204
Yup
>>67272480
i only liked skarchposting
>>67275749
>tfw I started thinking about counterexamples but I can't come up with jack shit because you're completely right
And the romances are always tacked on at the end too, almost like they're the author's way of saying "they weren't gay you guys, it's just bromance".
>>67275749
>Shounen animes are all actually about male friendships with homosexual undertones.
Naruto and Sasuke sure, but Goku and Vegeta are legit hateful rivals that become buds.
TFA made billions
so no
>>67272441
The last Hunger Games didn't have a great return either.
The era of Blockbuster YA adaptations was ushered in by Harry Potter. The strength of the book's fanbase was such that the movies enjoyed great success despite their meh-ness. First Hunger Games had prime Jennifer Lawrence and standout performances from Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentey and Donald Sutherland. Everything else was a pretty bland cashgrab, and people are finally cluing in to this simple fact now that Harry Potter is a distant memory. One can only hope that this is, indeed, the end of big-budget YA shitfests.
>>67275808
>Goku and Vegeta are legit hateful rivals that become buds
Isn't that basically what happened in Naruto, just faster and on a smaller scale? They hated each other at the beginning, but they were bffs by the timeskip (albeit bffs who shove their arms through each other's lungs)
>>67275632
None of these people read Animal Farm.
If you let a group of petulant teens have a revolution, there would be a Napoleon among them to sieze power.
>>67275774
After I saw Maze Runner I was so disappointed for the explanation about why they were in the maze that I started planning my own story about people trapped in an isolated environment with more intriguing reasons that... what was it? "We need to figure out how to cure the zombie plague?"
>>67275866
Napoleon didn't seize power until more than a decade after the revolution started, though. Still, it would be really cool to see one of these YA series run with the idea in a sequel or something.
>Harry Potter book 8, 15 years later
>The Order of the Phoenix was given "emergency" powers to restore order, since the ministry was destroyed/infiltrated
>Harry naturally rises to the top
>Starts arresting and imprisoning Death Eaters, then secret Death Eaters, then sympathizers, then collaborators, then anyone who pisses him off
>Hermione runs a massive orwellian spy network mixing magic and technology
>Ron is head of the Secret Police
>Protagonist is Draco Malfoy's kid, who joins a revolution led by Neville Longbottom
>>67275866
>I am in ninth grade

Fuck at least on the ones before she did SOMETHING. How can people even enjoy such a shitty movie?
Chick in Divergent cut her hair in the second movie and went with a nu-lesbo look. That was the death of the series, nobody wants to watch some ugly chick.
>>67276324
Don't know
All I know is HG was hyped as the biggest and best shit since the original SW trilogy, and then when I saw it I found it to be insanely boring and Jennifer Lawrence to be over-rated.
>>67276372
HG just gets worse as it goes on.
Fuck, I wasn't ready for the feels.
(Also that soundtrack god damn)
>>67276372
I fell for the HG meme, it's a pretty solid movie. But then it got really retarded real fast. I'd wager it's in no small part of Jennifer Lawrence's indispensability + her bitchy attitude.
>>67276453
Her attitude is what ruined her because she was un-fucking real in Winter's Bone. Well, she had a great supporting cast but she fucking carried that film. I think X-men was the breaking point for her.
>>67272507
>>67272538
Harry Potter, Twilight and Hunger Games all became popular on their own. The only thing that they've really got in common is that they made normies read and their autistic fanbases obsessed with shipfaggotry.
Ultimately all the ripoffs came from studios going "X is popular, let's find an IP similar to it and ride it's coattails to get easy shekels", which is extremely normal, see all the capeshit nowadays and all the swordshit in the mid 2000s.
After Harry Potter came out we got a shitload of long running fantasy book series filled with magic creatures getting movie adaptations, after Twilight came a bunch of love stories about vampires like True Blood and Vampire Diaries and after Hunger Games came the dystopian futures ruled by opressive dictators and rag tag group of teenagers that have to overthrow them.
>>67276566
>After Harry Potter came out we got a shitload of long running fantasy book series filled with magic creatures getting movie adaptations,
Care to give some examples? I can't think of any, other than that shitty movie with wizard Nic Cage
>>67275954
You forgot to talk about hermione being the head of the elf liberation front movement.
I don't see it dying anytime soon.
Its all about demographics, there will always be a new batch of teens so there will always be movies directed towards teens.
It will feature people closer to their age group, that talks about how unfair and oppressive society is, a "chosen" teen to turn things around and cool effects. Everything teens love.
Harry Potter also showed that people love when they can grow up with the stars they have watched, so I can see a series like Harry Potter coming on the horizon soon they just need to find something popular enough.
>>67276525
Yep Winter's Bone was really good. She started feeling good about herself, people were telling her she took shits that smelled fabulous, then the Fappening is what really flipped her shit.
>>67272480
now that the protag is basically kill this series is over
>>67276128

>>67275840
>albeit bffs who shove their arms through each other's lungs
Jeez that must've been a rough fisting session.
>>67276017
Why are the protagonists normally female teenagers with an obvious greek god romantic interest?
>>67276372
I feel like she's the reason why the movies were bland, everyone else, including that serial killer from the first movie actually made a decent acting.
What's up with this nu-male in Shadowhunters?
>>67276324
I loved the Hunger Games movies, but Mockingjay part 1 was awful. The really should have made one movie instead of splitting it.
>>67276619
Percy jackson automatically comes to mind. I think Sorcerer's apprentice also tried to ride that wave.
>>67276664
>Harry Potter also showed that people love when they can grow up with the stars they have watched, so I can see a series like Harry Potter coming on the horizon soon they just need to find something popular enough.
That's very hard to happen, very few of the intended movie franchise ever get to finish their run. And even Twilight and Hunger Games were losing their popularity by the time they released their final movies and they didn't even come close to 8 movies.
>>67276619
Spider Wick Chronicles
Percy Jackson
Series of Unfortunate events
Eragorn
A few others I can't remember the name
>>67272375
The problem with these YA books is that the plots are fuck-tarded, and that becomes more obvious onscreen than it is on the page.
Divergent: People are separated by personality for some unknown reason, then they fight.
Hunger Games: Lets put traps in the city, except lets make the traps not actually KILL the invaders, but give them a chance. Like lets make the oil fill the room slowly so the invaders can get away!
Maze Runner: Lets make kids live in a maze that tries to kill them. Nobody knows why this is a good idea.

>>67273783
It used to be that teenage girls' identification figures were pretty - I mean, they were usually stars, you know? But increasingly, teens are self-aware at a younger age about both their looks and the media they watch. Stars like this potater provide a identification figure that doesn't depress them with their own limitations, or make them feel like maybe they should grow out of this shit. It's a pity. At one time, as soon as you realised you were being given unrealistic expectations by the shit you watched, you moved on. Now the lies are more calculating but no less pure horseshit for that.

No one likes teller. Every movie he is in i spend half the runtime seething at his dipshit smug expression.
>>67272375
I think the thing I hate most about these YA movies are their terrible need to split the last book in to two movies. And since for some fucking reason it's a goddamn sin for these shitfests to be under two hours long inevitability one or both of the ending movies run out of actual plot and just drag like crazy since there just isn't enough content to justify over four hours of movie.
>>67277527
YOU JUST KNOW
>>67275774
The reason everything is so formulaic is that you grew out of genre shit but the mass media do a better and better job of concealing the fact that anything else exists. Watch an Apichatpong Weerasethakul film.
>>67277702
Not him but WHEN did that happened?
>>67277694
It's an easy way to make twice the money.
>>67275826
It really wasn't Harry Potter, which wasn't released or marketed that way, it was honestly, honestly Twilight. Don't let the fact that that was for girls fool you, all the subsequent movies have mainly been for girls anyway.
>>67277694
Harry Potter did it for no reason and we ended up with one really boring movie with only the final House Elf scene with any punch, then every single other movie does it and we end up with really boring movies with only a single scene at the end with any punch and everything else goes in the Final Final movie.

Because middle-aged fat women are the only adult demographic who have the opportunity or hormones to get emotionally invested in their own masturbation fantasies. This means they're disproportionately represented among successful Mary Sue authors.

>why the fuck did Peter make a sinlge book into a whole trilogy?
Everyone involved in LOTR were now industry experts and weren't going to do the Hobbit unless they got paid triple, not to mention New Zealand charging more in taxes. The studio was never going to pay for a single Hobbit movie.
With extra stuff like Gandalf's quest, Thorin's backstory, making Bard more of a character, the fall of Erebor and not cutting the Battle of Five Armies after Bilbo gets knocked out there was actually enough material for two movies. Problem is that in the end the studio and Hackson realized they could make even more money by adding another movie.
>>67277982
I love that they thought that they could film that. Two kids are sent to murder God. Stay tuned for the third movie where they fuck. Lunacy.

>>67280632
Fortunately a guy then undressed her action figure while people posted 'stick it in your ass' and 'jizz on it', so karma.
>>67279728
>>67279852
And that's really what kills it for me: Goku and Vegeta have an arc of enemies>allies for now>rivals>friends>enemies>friends. Vegeta actually backslides into villainy just to feed his old grudge, that's great storytelling.
Meanwhile, I never got the impression that Naruto and Sasuke ever liked each other. Their arc is hated fellow students > hated fellow soldiers but grudging allies > enemies (this is where the bulk of the story sits) >friends. They were always arguing (and not in a friendly ball-busting shittalking way that guys do, just anger), Sasuke never found out about Naruto getting mad and going fox mode after his "death", and unlike literally every other team, they never spend time together outside missions. We see InoShikaCho, and Kiba's team just hanging out walking around together all the time. Lee's team always trained together. But as soon as Team Kakashi comes from a mission (we see it three times, the cat mission, Land of Waves and another one done offscreen) everyone goes their separate ways. They have no camaraderie, no actual bond. Sure, Land of Waves was a serious shitshow, but Sakura never even got hit once, and apart from that one cool trick against Zabuza, no one ever actually tried to work together. The fight on the bridge should have been Zabuza v Kakashi, and Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura v Haku. But no, it ends up being a solo fight even when Naruto is involved.
They aren't teammates, they aren't comrades, and they certainly aren't friends.

>Percy Jackson (probably. I don't know enough to say for certain)
>Maze Runner
>Eragon
They are all legit the same
As others have mentioned: Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and maybe even Twilight are the exceptions as they started it... but... I think Twilight is a stretch as it came from Rowling and Rice's limelight in a sense.
I'm more liberal with Chronicles of Narnia and The Golden Compass (the books)... They are different enough.

>>67272375
Divergent was never that popular to begin with.
>>67272480
I watched the first one with a sibling. It wasn't that bad, although like all YA movies it made me question a lot of things.
Second one was surprisingly darker than the first one. Honestly, I watched it for CIA. The Korean guy is actually cool too and gets things done.
>>67276017
I saw a picture of the author for Divergent and she didn't look bad
>>67283435
>Eragon
That was something else entirely.
>>67277318
>>67279378
I only watched it for him
>>67277527
This guy knows what's up
>>67282915
>The first movie was one of those movies where you just want to know the answer to the mystery no matter how fucking retarded it is.
Shit, this. I liked it but I think it was more on wanting to know what the fuck was up.
>>67283470
Cause Harry Potter started it all.
>>67282915
i love movies like this. they have an "existential" vibe to them, thats what i liked about the maze runner.. the location/concept was just so out there and spooky.. i like movies with an "otherworldy" maze that traps the humans in a sick game, its a big metaphor for life i guess..
check out shit like Cube, The Exam, resident evil/escape plan (kind of, with the location), some japanese anime is a bit like this such as Kaiji, attack on titan reminded me of maze runner a bit.. even the Saw franchise or Cabin in the Woods to an extent..
>>67282967
completely agree, i thought catching fire was really underrated. mojackingjay 1 has good parts, part 2 is just boring trash
>battle royale for the twilight audience
I never understood why people took the hunger games meme seriously
>>67280305
This is just true.
>>67284347Only good part was when they massacred the civilians.
>>67284424
cant remember but i thought the montage with the song was good
the horror part in the tunnels in part 2 was the only good part of the movie. that was pretty based, reminded me of movies i used to love as a kid like pitch black and the descent
Anime and manga are next once the YA market crashes. Why do you think studios have bought the rights to so many series?
If you thought Dragonball Evolution was bad, it's about to become so much worse.
All this talk of YA audiences and shit and no mention of Shannara.. Was Shannara an actually decent version of all the YA shit we've seen recently???

Why does it feel so pedo? Not only is he legal he's actually also older than me.
>>67284518
I've been curious myself, bought the first book since I actually enjoy reading fantasy but it seems like them most Tolkien derivative thing ever.
>>67276875
it's written for girls on tumblr
>>67284648
I liked it at first but it got repetitive, also it was too urban and not adventurous enough
>>67278390
I fucking loved those books
Spielburg is releasing this soon, I wonder how folks will take it when it is revealed that the straight white male bro-tier best friend is ablack overweight dykeand the awesome overweight/curvaceous bloggerburn victimlove interest was casted instead as the skinny Olivia Cooke.
>>67283900
i died

>Mockingjay p2 flops
>drop the part # and change the name of part 2 to trick people
>they don't fall for it
are normies finally wising up?
>>67272375
Haven't watch any of these desu.
But how was CIA in the Maze Runner sequel?
>>67286049
Very entertaining and delivered the memes
>>67273496
It's like poetry. They rhyme.
>>67285118
I cant believe I read even half of that shitty book.
>DUDE 80S REFERENCES LMAO
Knowing nothing about these awful book series, the part of the Maze Runner where they had to evade those cybernetic spider/ scorpion whatever the fuck they were was actually pretty awesome.
>>67272375
Hopefully it's the beginning of more furry kino :^)
>>67283260
>the giver
never heard of this film, what's it about? other than being a YA film
>>67272480I think it has a good premise.But why does every YA and its mother have to be set in post-apoc/dystopia?
>>67287484
Was it not part of your school curriculum to read the book version?
>>67287627
no, not english born, mostly just read english translated chinese mystery books during class and some native ones that had an ending that didn't hold up to the rest of the story
>>67283900
I forgot how ugly the dude from erigon was. the only thing I remember about that movie was that it was stunningly bad
>>67287490
Cause otherwise authors have to deal with reality and they don't know much about it.
>>67277642
kek, currently watching whiplash and trying to find sympathy for the protagonist and failing miserably. Nicely said.

Toriyama's stated a few times that he can't write romance to save his life. It's why all the actual romantic stuff happens in timeskips.
Real question is why does every YA movie suck?
>>67276619
Spiderwick Chronicles, though that was only one movie. Inkheart.
>>67283116
>I stick with those that are unique... Negima, Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, etc
Had a laugh
>>67289673
Because they're not aimed for us. YAs are stupid and we just don't share their taste/mindset. Simple as that.
>>67289673
because we're transcended
>>67284374
Because Battle Royale is obscure enough that not everyone knows it, and it's a somewhat more mature and interesting setup while appealing to exactly the same people, which means that all the Twilight fans jumped ship and started laughing at their old thing.

Good. YA xenofiction is GOAT
>TFW no grim-dark r-rated Ga'Hoole adaptation.
>>67289673
YA flicks are for YA's.
Back in my day, when we weren't building walls to protect the village against predators and roving savages, we enjoyed Goonies, Weird Science and BTTF.
I get the urge to laugh at people who are now in their 20's who speak fondly of Harry Potter, but then I remember that I was once in their shoes.
Nostalgia is a cruel bitch.
>>67277024
Shit, did the Narnia series even finish or did it just stop?
>>67290203
i think it just stopped, the last one was the one were they're on a ship
>Books are dark fantasy adventure, with a bit of horror
>Talking about a boy overcoming his fears and trying to do his best to fight evil
>Movie is a shitty generic action movie with a YA as the main character
It hurts /tv/, I genuinely loved those books.
>>67284518
More like mfw I saw the trailer and apparently the world is apparently post apocalyptic earth. I never noticed that when reading the first couple of books before dropping them since they were derivative af shit even for my kid taste
>>67272413
Tweenshit
>>67290121
Jokes on you, I never liked that shit.
>>67290203
They did finish it. However, there are other stories written in Narnia that have different characters. They are just as fun.
>>67277569
But "Not Another Teen Movie" is GOAT.
>>67287669
It's another post-apocalyptic book. Worth reading. It required parent permissions (seriously). It's interesting but alot liek the others in certain aspects. DON'T READ A SYNPOSIS. It might spoil shit. And definitely don't see the movie first.
>>67289741
Negima is harem for 25% and then it becomes shounen but with loads of parody. Only the end does it become DBZ.
Lucifer + Biscuit Hammer; Main character is a bad guy till almost the end. Once again, it's the end that became cliched shounen crap (he can beat EVERYONE NOW?!)
But both began great and I still think Negima was perfect all through
>>67289673
They're made for mentally-subnormal 12-to-14-year-old females, not patricians like us who appreciate genuine kino like The Dark Knight Rises.
