 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here We're gonna talk about Maxine in this video here today So Maxine we know is supposed to drop or expected to drop anyway this summer at least that's what Michelle Monaghan believes We recently had a leaked image allegedly from online ceramics who has partnered with a 24 in the past for merch related to their films However, I was tipped off that someone from online ceramics denounced this leaked image in a disc Discord server. Anyway, the rumor related to this leak was that Maxine would drop on July 5th, which would have been perfect and It also would have been great because it lines up with Monaghan's beliefs about the film being a summer release I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the ceramics person Could have been lying and didn't want to confirm the leaked information That's not to say that the leaked image which I'm not gonna show here because again It could be real and if it's real the video gets flagged How what I just thought was funny was that they they I saw screenshots that were sent to me of this alleged online Ceramics person confirming that it's fake, but I'm like, why would they say it's real if they work for online ceramics and You are screenshotting this and then you want to spread it around and now this online ceramics person is on record saying Hey, yes, that leak is real. Why would they confirm that it's real? Should they shouldn't they not be doing that shouldn't they be doing the opposite? It could be damage control. I just thought it was quite ironic that the leaked image contained text relevant to Maxine That hasn't really been discussed by anyone like other than myself Like the mark of the beast that you guys pointed out to me and some other little things like it had the pentagram symbol on it Which is relevant to the story. It was just a bit fishy to me that this was Fake which again it still could be I just doubt that it is I think if you were legitimately talking to someone from online ceramics, they're probably lying to keep this a secret They're not gonna tell you. Hey, yes, it's true I've done it in the past some people some of you have come out and asked me is it XYZ and I've told you No, just to keep something a secret. I've lied to a lot of you You know who you are if you reach out to me on DMs on Twitter. So We're gonna now talk about What Ty West has teased after Maxine because I still think that Maxine will indeed drop in July But we'll just wait and see if it doesn't drop in July. That's fine I still think it's just gonna come out this summer Ty West has teased that the film could potentially lead to another entry in this franchise I guess you could call it at this point. So during an interview with what's under the bed He explained that there may be more. He says there's there is this one weird asterisk idea that he has And if he explained it, it would make sense But he wants to wait for this movie to come out first to see how that goes He also at one point during the interview showed a Puritan prop From the Maxine set and keep in mind set photos have already shown us that Maxine stars in the sequel to this film So now Ty West has confirmed that the film is relevant to the plot He also stated that he's almost done editing the film and that it's coming along He said the less we know about the film the better because he also started dabbling in fact that the trailer likely is gonna show Us a lot because trailers these days show us a lot show us a lot and we know more than we should go and into the movie Thanks to set trailer But let's entertain this idea of a fourth film because I feel like he's already pitched it to a 24 at another point Before those comments He was talking about how Maxine was almost what we got before pearl, but then he told a 24 It would actually work better if we do pearl before Maxine So knowing that that has gone on I'm like well if you're now also teasing a fourth idea that you have maybe you've already talked about it specifically with a 24 and I think the idea of what he is talking about because he said it will make sense if he explained it is Something like this We know in X pearl told Max that it'll all be taken from you just like it was taken from me So it's possible that a fourth film plays on that reality for her Maxine could snap Hollywood isn't what she thought it was and then a monster is born or The story could also be used to commentate on how Hollywood ruins lives of a lot of young talent and talent in general If you aren't careful I'm sure a lot of you can commentate a lot of unfortunate examples of childhood stars that you like growing up I as did I that have unfortunately just not had the best lives now that they're adults Due to trauma and other abuse that went on in Hollywood Could we see Maxine's career just go nowhere and because of this she snaps? I think so or we could always have a story about Max being being abused in Hollywood No one believed her so she takes matters into her own hands The other important bit is that while I've labeled Maxine as a conclusion to Ty West's trilogy It's important to remember that a 24 has yet to actually market it as such Shout out to opening kills for sending all of this to me by the way But a 24 originally just he's Maxine by calling it the next chapter Not the final chapter as I've liked to dub it because it's pretty much been made clear to me That you're telling a trilogy and it's been referred to as a trilogy which it still can be But if you start telling stories after the fact of course, then the franchise itself isn't a trilogy But the story could still be considered a three-arc piece that you're going through right now But they never marketed it as the final chapter. They called it the next chapter So that makes West's teasing of a four-film even more interesting I was juggling the idea of Maxine developing a fandom That goes off the deep end because they were obsessed with her enough potential foresee for film But I'd rather prefer I'd rather see pearls warning to Max Turned into foreshadowing for a four film and see that play out and see Max end up a victim of the Hollywood machine Which causes her to snap just like Pearl told her he would Now would you guys prefer that story for Maxine? Do you think it will be fitting or do you think they should just leave it as a trilogy? But with him teasing already having an idea and that it would make sense if he explained it That's why I want to circle back to that line that Pearl gave in the original movie X Where she told max it'll all be taken from you just like it was for me. That's likely the most Organic way to go With a fourth film. We're seeing her rise in Maxine So in the fourth film why not explore her unfortunate fall and it can come in the form of someone abusing her She takes matters into her own hands because no one believes her or She's just having a terrible career and it causes her to snap a lot of different things and a lot of different influences around her get to her psyche and She just cracks. She cracks under all the pressure. I don't see anything wrong with that It honestly in this case It feels more or more natural for a character like Maxine Then the pitches you hear about turning Sydney Prescott in the ghost phase or something like that with Maxine They are planting seeds for it.
