Hi again! Today I am ranting about the Insurgent movie, based off the book by the similar title by Veronica Roth. The movie was good BUT THEY FORGOT STUFF OKAY I'M ANGRY BECAUSE THERE WAS STUFF MISSING!!!!! So I'm going to share with you a BookTube video of the movie compared to the book by a fellow fangirl who also rants about books: Christine of PolandBananasBOOKS. Enjoy!!
*Note: this is not my video, it's property of PolandBananasBOOKS on YouTube, so if you like the video go subscribe to her or something it's not mine so I just thought I should put that sown somwhere...
**There's probably some swearing in the video. Just some forewarning.

Okay, let the ranting begin! I've actually been good at not spoiling while I rant, but this time I couldn't care less. This time I'm going all out. So, the movie was okay. If you didn't read it, it was even better. But if you didn, you were mostly questioning:
a) where the heck is the peace serum
b) the Edith Prior video at the end freaking wasn't Edith Prior you had one job
c) Evelyn Eaton/Johnson is literally too young to be Tobias's mom she looks like she's his sister I'm pretty sure Abnegation doesn't support teen pregnancy
d) WHERE WAS THE FOURTRIS????? THERE WAS LITERALLY ONE SHIPPY SCENE OKAY NOT COOL
e) Eric's death was anticlimactic
f) Literally no one at the theatre read the book because they all clapped when Tris came back and wasn't really dead
g) If you didn't cry when Eric killed the little girl you have no soul
h) Caleb is a two-timing jerk can we kill him now
i) YES THEY FINALLY ADDED URIAH
j) Where the heck was Edward he's important and instead there was some stupid factionless guy
k) You can't just switch directors halfway through a series it was so different from Divergent
l) What even was the box Veronica said she liked it but I didn't
m) TORI IS SUPPOSED TO KILL URIAH NOT EVELYN ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
Alright, I hit most of the main points. Half of you won't understand what I'm talking about, half of you want to punch me because you haven't seen it yet, half of you are appluading because you understand, and half of you think 'wow she's stupid becuause you can't have 4 halves'. To those math pessemists. I say "GET OUT BECAUSE I CAN HAVE AS MANY HALVES AS I WANT OKAY ITS MY WEBSITE NOT YOURS!!"

That, my friends, is the box. The thing that hold the Edith Prior-but-not-because-it's-not-Edith-in-the-movie video. Apparently, you have to be 100% Divergent to open it, and of course the only person that is 100% is none other than our favourite self sacrificial character, Tris Prior. Freaking figures. So she has to go and pass a whole bunch of simulation tests to open it. The sims are actually really cool, especially the one where Tobias tries to help her escape. But what I don't get is that Tris is Divergent for Dauntless, Abnegation, and Erudite. Not Candor, and not Amity. So why is she 100% Divergent? OKay, yes, now I'm getting into the math, but I don't care because I can do what I want here. Moving on. What I meant about the Edith Prior video was that in the book, the video says at the end: "'... I will be Edith Prior, and there is much I am willing to forget.' A silence fell. And then all pandemonium broke loose." This is important because Prior is Tris's name so does that mean she's not truly a Prior? She never even introduces herself as Amanda Marie Ritter, either, which is also dissapointing. In the book, Jeanine doens't want to let the people see the video, and Abnegation was going to release it. In the movie, Tris's parents were hiding the box in their basement, and Jeanine wants to release it. So this is where I will end my rant today, so it doesn't go on for eight years and take up all my space. But I'll be back... -Jamie
