Never in a million years, I would've expected someone to compare 'Avengers: Endgame' - and Marvel Cinematic Universe - to a movie like 'Student of the Year 2' but these are strange times.

'Endgame' is literally the biggest movie right now and is all set to become the highest grossing movie ever soon, and I don't think I need to say anything about 'SOTY 2' that hasn't already been said.

But, Aditya Seal, who stars in 'SOTY 2', apparently has a problem because while people love an 'unrealistic' movie like 'Avengers', they're hating on his movie for being unrealistic.

He talked about the criticism 'SOTY 2' is facing for showing a very unrealistic school and college life. He said, “That is exactly the section of society who will watch 'Avengers' and love it and believe that superheroes exist, but they will give us flak for it.”

I really don't see any correlation, truly.

It doesn't end there, he further tried to explain that 'SOTY 2' is also like a fantasy world that people would want to be a part of. He said, “This is a fantasy. Who wouldn't want to be a part of a school like this, where you have such amazing-looking people and the school is this good? We are just trying to create a world for people where they can just watch it and be like, 'Oh, I wish I was a part of this!' When I watch 'Avengers', I want to be a part of it. I want to be Tony Stark/Iron Man. The same way, we are trying to create a world for them.”

I really don't want to be mean to him, but does this dude even know the meaning of fantasy? I have a lot of counterpoints for this. One, no one is believing superheroes exist, everyone knows that it's a fictional universe, hence we have MCU.

Two, supersoldiers and just basically superheroes don't exist for real, everyone knows that, but schools and colleges do and that's why it's so hard to see such an unrealistic portrayal.

Third, who would want to go to a school where everyone is 'so amazing looking'? I don't want to see thirty-year-olds pretending to be teenagers.

And no, a lot of people wouldn't want to be a part of the Avengers universe. I would surely be a bystander that gets killed first there.

All I would like to request is that please never even compare 'Avengers: Endgame' to SOTY 2, please.

Haha

nice post!!

Lol what is he smoking..

It's not about realistic or fake. It's about presentation and story telling. Y will i spend on hindi movies when I get better product from Hollywood on same price? Bahubali has raised my expectations now. N I will spend only on movies like this unless it features my fave artists!

Hollywood movies give me great view and They re like an event. So comparison don't make sense at all. If u make a movie even if it's unrealistic make it watchable. NOT WITH your wannabes accent etc

Adita dear. Puhleaaaazeee.

Oh dear this guy made a complete fool of himself

Sometimes I feel Bollywood actors do not understand Fantasy Fiction/Sci-Fi/Superhero genres. No one believes that dragons, superheroes, elves, Jedi Warriors, or mythical creatures exist. People walk into these films expecting fantastical unrealistic tales. Movies like Avengers, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Baahubali are successful because they tell compelling stories with well-developed characters.

Movies have to be somewhat authentic to the world they are building. Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter would be ridiculous if you had blaster wielding space aliens. The original SOTY was a hit despite unrealism is because the story and characters appealed more. Plus it was a novelty at the time for a teen/college flick (I don't think one has been made since Ishq Vishq). SOTY 2 failed because it amped up the unrealism from the first part. The story and characters were poorly written.

You don't need perfect realism. You can have realistic movies like Breakfast Club, To All the Boys I have Loved Before, Love Simon, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Sixteen Candles. You can also have the exaggerated comedy like Clueless, Mean Girls, Easy A, Princess Diaries, Bring It On, Pitch Perfect, Revenge of the Nerds, Legally Blonde, High School Musical, American Pie. Or you can be a Juno or Lady Bird that is the rare balance of humor and realism.

Bollywood lacks good teenage/college movies that other countries make plenty off. Films like SOTY have the potential to tap into an underserved market. But the makers cant expect a hit just because they make an underserved film. Story + characters will always be necessary. And if your story and characters are good enough - you will get away with your unrealism.

Topic maker I must ask you remove dragon from your name

Nutcase made a complete mockery of himself. He doesn't even deserve an explanation.
