This _Pitch Meeting_ has been watched by more people than the _Crow_ remake, and deservedly so.

This is as close as im getting to watching it

Watching a remake of the Crow would be too hard, too frustrating. But a Pitch Meeting on it? Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Remember in the original Crow where Eric was a genuine good person who loved his fiancé, basically adopted a young girl who had a bad home life, and stopped to pet his cat when he returned from the dead?

Yeah let’s do none of the things that made Eric Draven likeable in the first place and make him an emo drug addict who goes on a rampage and traumatizes a bunch of innocent people for literally no reason because he’s “damaged”

"There's just no way to know what I meant by this" is one of the best Pitch Meeting lines of all time.

The only good thing about this film is that it'll drive more people to the classic original.

Not seeing a movie in theaters but watching the pitch meeting for it the moment it comes out is tight!!!

Love the fact that when you do movies where like 6 people total saw it you don't even bother with the "potential spoilers" at the start.

The Crow (1994) : a cult classic
The Crow (2024) : written by an actual crow using AI, probably

Producer guy asking if this remake is necessary. A new low has been reached by Hollywood.

Dude got brought back from the dead and told "you love this girl more than any man has ever loved someone who was killed" and then immediately starts thinking "huh... maybe I don't like her that much" 😂

[boogiesmell]

"...their love was so powerful deep and pure that it transcended the traditional rules of death."
"Wow that was some weekend"

Plots like this is why I don't even bother watching any movies anymore. Beyond ridiculous. What is wrong with script writers these days???"

2:53 I like how screenwriter guy did such a good impression of a 8 year old boy trying to describe a superhero.

[kaylahensley]

I love how the writer describes the plot like an indecisive teenage fanfic writer, it captures the movie’s vibe perfectly.

Over the years, Ryan has truly made some epic sacrifices for all of us. Think of all the awful movies he's not only sat through, but painstakingly studied and taken notes on. He's truly a hero. Thank you for watching this so that none of us had to.

Eric Draven (1994): Romantic soul, former metal guitar player, long-term-relationship with the love of his life, returns from death to get justice, heals a drug addict and stands for ideals like fighting for justice, against drugs and love conquers all. A gothic icon of the 90s.

Eric Draven (2024): Drug-using Gangster that goes on a killing spree for a girl he just met, only to doubt himself and sell his soul for badass powers, ending up killing and traumatizing people unjustified. This... actually makes him a bad guy at the end of the movie, then causing a weird time-jump that completely makes the plot irrelevant because it never happened?

[thorasskicker]

The Crow (graphic novel) was originally written to help the author James O'barr to cope with the loss of his fiancee, who was killed by a drunk driver. It is a very dark and depressing graphic novel about anger and loss. This movie seems like it just shits all over that. Like literally, these guys missed the whole point.

These Pitch Meeting videos are invaluable for any wannabe fiction writer. The lesson is, you just can't get away with bad character development and plot holes and hope that no-one notices. Made me look at my own work. Thank you.

Ryan accidentally showed us a picture of the audience for this movie at 0:33

It's amazing how the remake writers don't get the concept of the Crow. None of the gang members that murdered Eric and Shelly on Devil's Night knew them beforehand. The couple was picked at random, just a random act of violence in a violent city, one more hideous crime out of hundreds that would remain unsolved. All these victims just gone, their killers unpunished, no justice for them. And then a cosmic entity or whatever, out of a macabre lottery, chooses one person based on the love that they gave in life, to come back and have a chance at revenge to make things right. But that concept doesn't work if the audience feels like the main character doesn't deserve a second chance like this remake.
