Video Description
The Entity: Why Mission: Impossible 7’s AI Villain Doesn’t Work MI7 is a blast, but its AI antagonist never quite lands. This breakdown looks at why “The Entity” feels abstract on screen, and what the film does (and doesn’t) do to make it dramatically compelling. What we cover - The villain’s actual goal, and why it plays vague - Missing rules and limits for the AI (and how that kills tension) - The MacGuffin logic around the key - What still works: pacing, set pieces, and sharp staging Disagree with a point, or have a scene where the Entity does work? Drop it in the comments. I’m collecting the best counter-examples. #MissionImpossible #DeadReckoning #TheEntity #FilmAnalysis #VillainDesign 📓 Chapters 📓 00:00 - AI in storytelling 00:40 - The Good 01:37 - The Bad 02:37 - The Ugly 07:09 - Five Fun Facts #MissionImpossible #AI #WritingTips
