Ready Player One explained by an idiot

6:02 Not an orc, Its Goro from MK

Ah yes, "Ready Player One" that one movie where you can tell 75% of the budget went into buying the rights to characters

The amount of crossovers and references in this movie is insane

whats so interesting about this movie, is that the book it was based on was way darker, more depressing and far more involved. The clues and puzzles actually feel like something thats challenging to solve and its really interesting.

Couple things about this movie: 1. In the books you logged into the oasis with your retinas, making you only be able to have 1 account. attempting to spoof it got you perma banned. (Just got further into the video and remembered the Nolan password part, so ig they changed that in the movies) 2. In the books hollidude is confirmed to be dead, but the movie’s strayed sooo far from the books that they could’ve entirely changed it 3. In short, they strayed so far from the books that any explanation I give is probably wrong in the movies. Man I like being that guy in the comments that read the books

the funny (order thing) is that at the end, literally nothing change for anyone except the Main characters : the world is still a dystopian nightmare where mega corporation control the world while humanity slowly die on the world they are stranded on...but hey now he can be the control obsessed admin everyone hate of a game where peoples will literally gamble their lifesavings for a temporary buff.

Ready player one is like a chronically online person’s wet dream

The reason they went for Adventure as the final key is after Atari's acquisition by Warner in 1976, Atari removed the names of game developers from their products, as a means to prevent competitors from identifying and recruiting Atari's programmers.This also was used as means to deny the developers a bargaining chip in any negotiations. This lead developer Warren Robinett to hide his own name into the game Adventure (1980) in what is now considered "The first easter egg in gaming" as a act of rebellion. When Warner made the movie Ready Player One (2018) they stated that Warren Robinet made the easter egg (a major plot point in the movie) because he just wanted people to have fun. Basically Warner did this purely to erase history because it wasn't even like that in the book. Also why Halliday avatar just didn't admit everything because he is indeed an AI with a plan to be free from OASIS, and he figured it's easier to wrestle control from hormonal teenagers than the entire Gregory Games. This came in the sequel BTW.

I love that wirtual reference at 5:00. "But then, hefest got this run"

"Sexy I'm so unique birthmark" and "all access pass to anywhere he wants to go aka a gun" lmfao really needed those laughs today.

Fun fact: There IS a sex doll for the oasis in the book.

4:54 that part literally fully broke my immersion in the whole movie lmao, till that point I was like kinda vibin' a little bit

That Trackmania and Wirtual reference was sooo on point🤣🔥

Dude is surrounded by 150 working class citizens, has the balls to pull out a gun, and somehow nobody tackles him. Must be California or NYC lol.

Never expected a fucking Wirtual reference by Highboi lmfao

5:28 I clipped it muhahahah

Doubt you’ll see this, but I honestly love the format of your videos and how it includes both valid criticism and comedy

Dude the trackmania reference went so hard

5:14 Funny enough, in the book, Parzival buys an "Anatomically Correct Haptic Doll" after breaking up with Art3mis, which is basically what Highboi is describing

Having read the book and seen the movie is a curse… the book is miles ahead of the movie, but if you’ve read Ready Player Two, you’ll know what Halliday is in-game
