00:00In the vast universe of cinematic history, one chapter that sparks both curiosity and
00:05nostalgia is the sci-fi epic, John Carter.
00:24A decade ago, it made its cinematic debut promising audiences a journey to the mysterious
00:29and awe-inspiring Red Planet. However, the path of John Carter was not paved with the
00:34success Disney had anticipated, leaving fans with cliffhanger endings and a thirst for more.
00:40Picture this, a charismatic hero, John Carter, portrayed by Taylor Kitsch,
00:45thirsts into an alien world, Barsoom, or as we know it, Mars. Andrew Stanton, renowned for his
00:51directorial success with animated gems like Finding Nemo and WALL-E, helmed this live-action spectacle.
00:58However, despite Stanton's storytelling prowess, John Carter struggled to find its footing at the
01:04box office. The movie, with its grand ambition and a production budget of $307 million,
01:10faced a daunting challenge to transport audiences to a distant planet, introduce them to warring
01:16civilizations, and make them care about a hero caught in the throes of an otherworldly conflict.
01:22While it made $281 million worldwide, it failed to turn a profit, casting a shadow on the
01:28prospects of the envisaged franchise. Have you seen the unveiled vision of the God of Mars?
01:34Had the cosmic rise rolled differently, John Carter 2 would've been titled God of Mars.
01:39Andrew Stanton, in an alternate cinematic reality, envisioned a series that would
01:43unfold the secrets of Barsoom, layer by layer. Each film would feature a different character
01:49delivering the prologue, with God of Mars entrusting Lynn Collins' character, Dejah
01:53Thoris, with this narrative responsibility. The sequel's plot would thicken as Dejah's
01:58prologue revealed a heartbreaking twist, the abduction of her child, Carthoris,
02:03by the shapeshifter Matai Shang. A reunion between John Carter and his family would be
02:09marred by the passage of time, setting the stage for a quest into the bowels of Mars.
02:14Here, akin to the surprises beneath the Earth's surface, in Beneath the Planet of the Apes,
02:18a hidden civilization with advanced technology would be unveiled, orchestrating the planet's
02:23functions from below. Do you know about the woes of John Carter, who's a victim of circumstance?
02:28Despite Stanton's grand design, John Carter failed to secure the future of the envisioned trilogy.
02:34The movie faced an uphill battle even before its release, with a troubled production history
02:40dating back to the 1917 publication of Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel. A complex marketing
02:46challenge further compounded its struggles, with fans resorting to recutting trailers
02:50in a bid to present the film more coherently. The financial disappointment of John Carter
02:56became a harbinger of its unfulfilled sequels. While the $281 million global box office might
03:02seem substantial, the colossal production budget left Disney in the red. The irony lies in the
03:08fact that the movie, about transversing vast distances, faced its own insurmountable gap.
03:14The financial chasm between earnings and expenditure. Have you heard the echoes of Barsoom
03:19or a fandom's call to arms? Despite its cinematic misfortune, John Carter echoes in the corridors
03:25of fandom. The disappointment over the unmade sequels has manifested in various forms, from
03:31online petitions for a continuation of the story to fan-edited trailers aimed at recapturing the
03:37film's essence. The depth of this engagement illustrates lingering hunger for closure and a
03:42desire to explore the unseen realms of Barsoom. A key element of the film's financial misfortune
03:49was its marketing campaign. Audiences were left bewildered by a confusing promotion,
03:54one that failed to convey the movie's uniqueness and compelling narrative. Director Andrew Stanton's
04:00reputation as the creative force behind films like Finding Nemo and WALL-E wasn't adequately
04:05emphasized. The film's marketing efforts were deemed ineffective and confusing by many. Despite
04:11director Andrew Stanton's successful works, the marketing did little to emphasize his abilities
04:16and the film's potential. Furthermore, Disney made the unusual decision to drop any mention of Mars
04:22from the film's title, which likely added to the audience's confusion. The passionate outcry for
04:28more John Carter's adventures becomes a testament to the potential left untapped. The fervor of the
04:33fanbase highlights the emotional investment spurred by the captivating world Stanton sought to create.
04:40The resonance of Barsoom in popular culture fueled by Burroughs' timeless novels and Stanton's visual
04:46interpretations transcends the constraints of a single cinematic outing. Do you know the grand
04:51finale is all about ambition and commerce? As we navigate the labyrinth of John Carter and its
04:57unmaterialized sequels, a poignant realization emerges. The delicate dance between artistic
05:03ambition and commercial viability. Stanton's vision sprawling across multiple films collided
05:09with the harsh financial realities of the Hollywood. The question of why John Carter 2 never
05:15materialized becomes a symphony of economic caution and creative optimism playing in the grand theater
05:21of the film industry. Dejah Thoris, the remarkable princess of Helium, is not merely a damsel in
05:27distress but a strong, intelligent, and capable character. She played an instrumental role in the
05:33unfolding saga of Barsoom and its diverse races. Her prologue narration in the proposed sequel,
05:39Gods of Mars, would have set the stage for a new adventure while her love for John Carter added
05:45depth to their relationship. In the complex web of Martian politics and power dynamics, Tardos Morse,
05:51played by Ciaran Hines, appears as a noble figure. However, in the sequel's envisioned narrative, he
05:57would have revealed his true identity as Matai Shang, a shapeshifting thern. The deception and
06:02intrigue surrounding Tardos Morse's character would have added a layer of suspense to the storyline.
06:07In the next installment of our cosmic exploration, we will unravel the intricate narrative threads
06:13Andrew Stanton envisioned for Gods of Mars and Warlords of Mars, peeling back the layers of
06:18unfulfilled tales and hidden revelations that might have shaped the destiny of John Carter
06:23on the Red Planet. Is Gods of Mars about a torn family? Let's unveil the world of Struggle, the
06:29sequel's narrative prologue, entrusted to Lynn Collins, Dejah Thoris, set the stage for a rescue
06:35mission into the depths of Mars. Carthoris, the child of John Carter and Dejah, became the focal
06:40point of Plot Entwined with familial love and the deception of shapeshifter Matai Shang. A reunion
06:46between Carter and his family unfurled against the backdrop of an underground city controlled
06:52by the enigmatic Firstborn. Here, Stanton's vision echoed classic trope of a hero returning to find a
06:58world changed, but with an added layer. The revelation of a hidden society manipulating the
07:03very foundations of Barsoom. Are you aware of the Beneath Martian Surface? Or about unveiling
07:08the Unseen? Much like the iconic twist in Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Stanton's vision for John
07:14Carter 2 ventured Beneath the Surface of Mars. The revelation of an advanced civilization operating
07:20secretively for eons added a layer of intrigue and social commentary. A technologically advanced
07:26society hidden beneath the facade of a seemingly primal world mirrored the duality inherent in
07:32Barsoom itself. Are you also aware of the difficult financial situation about a sequel lost in the
07:38abyss? Yet the dreams of traversing subterranean realms and unraveling the secrets of Mars were
07:44eclipsed by the stark reality of Hollywood's financial calculus. The aftermath of John
07:49Carter's lukewarm reception left the sequel stranded in the abyss of unfulfilled potential.
07:55Are you ready to witness the legacy of John Carter, a hero's odyssey which is unfinished? As
08:00we bid adieu to this chapter of our cosmic exploration, the legacy of John Carter lingers
