Hey all! Just a speed round this week but it is leading up to the theme for next week's post. I'll explain more at the end of this post. As for this speed round I will be sharing my top 10 movie chosen ones and since this is a speed round lets hop right into this weeks box!
Speed Round 3: Top 10 Chosen Ones
10. Agent J (Will Smith), Men in Black: While the only real reference to this in the first film is through a brief and quite conversation between Zed and Agent K during the tryout with all the military members, it is truly revealed that J was destined to become a member of the MIB with how the third film ended.
9. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), J.J. Abrams Star Trek Franchise: Just watch the first film. Pretty much all of Pike's dialogue deals with James being destined to be a starship captain.
8. Po the Panda (Jack Black), Kung Fu Panda: I really enjoy both of these movies and Po is a great Chosen One.
7. Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum), Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: For those of you who want to try and challenge this pick, watch the movie again. Wonka says at the end he decided a long time ago to give the factory to a very honest and loving child. You try and tell me Wonka didn't know who would win the second he saw the kids if not sooner.
6. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), The Hunger Games: So I feel she didn't truly become the chosen one until Catching Fire but everything see did in the first book/film was needed to lead up to her being shaped into the Mocking Jay.
5. Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), X-Men/Wolverine Franchises: So maybe not technically the chosen one in the franchise he has been the main focus of almost every film. Days of Future Past is the first film that it feels like he is the chosen one since he is the only one that can survive the trip back in time.
4. Neo (Keanu Reeves), The Matrix Trilogy: You can't have a list of the chosen ones with out Neo...The One. He falls to fourth on my list for unnecessary sequels that really hinder the entire story.
3. Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), The Lord of the Rings: While he couldn't make the trip on his own he was the one who had to carry the burden...literally.
2. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Harry Potter Franchise: A great story of a young boy who was the only one who could save the world.
The only thing is he wasn't the first boy who found out he was the only one who could save everyone. The difference is this next one saved the Galaxy!
1. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Star Wars Original Trilogy: Yeah this was pretty much a no brainer. Plus I think Luke gets bonus points since his dad was a misinterpreted Chosen One.
Final Thoughts:
So next weeks blog post is something I'm pretty excited about. I'm going to push the chosen one topic even further when I explain my theory that there are other movies that feasibly could exist in The Matrix. Frankly they would even be better sequels then the shitty ones that exist.
If anyone has any theories on this or has any comments, ideas or thoughts you can reach me in all the same methods as usual.
