All right, so, Vic, what comics are we talking about today?
00:00:35.317 --> 00:00:42.037
So we have Marvel Zombies Dead Days from 2007, Marvel Zombies 2005,
00:00:42.397 --> 00:00:49.657
Marvel Zombies 2, 2007, and Marvel Zombies Return 2009, all full-story arcs.
00:00:50.017 --> 00:00:55.257
That's right. There's a huge, like, Wikipedia calls it a meta-series.
00:00:55.257 --> 00:00:59.637
There's a huge franchise of Marvel Zombies within the larger Marvel comics.
00:00:59.717 --> 00:01:06.777
There's so many that they even published are Marvel's Omnibus called the Marvel Zomnibus.
00:01:07.477 --> 00:01:09.697
Then there was even more.
00:01:09.877 --> 00:01:13.357
Then they published a sequel, the Marvel Zomnibus Returns.
00:01:14.317 --> 00:01:20.377
Oh, gosh. Those are the only two Omnibuses that I do not care about.
00:01:21.337 --> 00:01:25.657
There's so much Marvel. And then they keep making more. We're going to talk
00:01:25.657 --> 00:01:27.197
about it at the end of the video today.
00:01:27.597 --> 00:01:33.117
But literally, September 17th, Wednesday, they released a new Marvel's Omni
00:01:33.117 --> 00:01:34.757
series. It just started.
00:01:35.777 --> 00:01:37.957
Marvel zombies will never die.
00:01:38.317 --> 00:01:39.817
Oh, no. Anyway.
00:01:44.290 --> 00:01:46.750
right okay so marvel
00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:52.450
Zombies was created by robert kirkman vick what is he famous for not invincible
00:01:52.450 --> 00:01:55.050
the other thing what's the other thing honestly.
00:01:55.050 --> 00:01:57.930
I can't remember anything right now about
00:01:57.930 --> 00:02:01.290
It the walking dead so they took.
00:02:01.290 --> 00:02:04.230
I have not read any the walking dead comic book
00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:07.030
So they took walking dead guy and they said we want
00:02:07.030 --> 00:02:09.890
walking dead but marvel and so he made marvel zombies
00:02:09.890 --> 00:02:12.690
make sense so how it works is there's
00:02:12.690 --> 00:02:15.270
marvel zombies 2005 that's the
00:02:15.270 --> 00:02:20.030
original then they made a prequel called dead date and dead days is probably
00:02:20.030 --> 00:02:24.950
better if you just read that first you agree yeah definitely yeah then there's
00:02:24.950 --> 00:02:29.530
marvel zombies 2 the marvel zombies return that's the core the core series then
00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:34.890
there's so many there's like a battle world spinoff there is There's Marvel Zombies 3, 4, 5.
00:02:35.190 --> 00:02:39.750
There's some Deadpool stuff. There's Army of Darkness. It was a crossover.
00:02:40.870 --> 00:02:45.690
There's, my God, there's so many. There's a Marvel Zombie, singular.
00:02:46.110 --> 00:02:48.410
There's Marvel Zombies, Black, White, and Blood.
00:02:48.910 --> 00:02:55.790
Like, I could just keep going, man. There's, like, probably 20 different spinoffs of Marvel Zombies.
00:02:56.010 --> 00:02:59.150
And, of course, there's the What If TV show, like, the episode.
00:02:59.250 --> 00:03:02.210
And now there's the new TV show coming out September 24th.
00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:06.670
So, Vic, what was your overall impression of these comics that you read?
00:03:07.583 --> 00:03:14.683
I will answer with just one very, very short question called why? Just why?
00:03:16.763 --> 00:03:18.543
If these zombies weren't dead,
00:03:18.663 --> 00:03:20.323
You would have just killed them. Oh.
00:03:21.663 --> 00:03:26.663
Okay. First of all, I'm not a very big zombie fan. The only zombie product,
00:03:27.303 --> 00:03:34.763
projects, rather, that I'm fond of are The Last of Us, both the game and the show.
00:03:34.943 --> 00:03:39.623
The Walking Dead. that I've watched few seasons, first few seasons of it,
00:03:39.763 --> 00:03:46.243
28 series, 28 days, 28 weeks, 28 years.
00:03:47.743 --> 00:03:50.163
The Cornetto trilogy, in a way.
00:03:50.303 --> 00:03:52.203
Sure, sure, Sean, that is great, man.
00:03:52.623 --> 00:04:01.223
Yeah, that's the one. And sort of Minecraft, in a way, because we have zombies there, whatever.
00:04:01.223 --> 00:04:09.783
but I don't think if there's anything else with zombies that I even care about
00:04:09.783 --> 00:04:14.323
Multiverse of Madness? That and a zombie That was pretty cool, right?
00:04:14.923 --> 00:04:22.943
But when I think of a zombie, it's like a mindless or brain dead persona who
00:04:22.943 --> 00:04:27.163
wants to just live for hunger or whatever Yeah Yeah,
00:04:28.743 --> 00:04:33.963
just like that But Marvel Zombies is another pair of shoes.
00:04:34.563 --> 00:04:39.063
Like, it has all of those zombie tropes.
00:04:40.823 --> 00:04:47.523
But it's just something that I do not like to see in superhero comic books.
00:04:47.723 --> 00:04:50.403
Okay. You don't like the mix of genres?
00:04:50.723 --> 00:04:55.323
Yeah, because sometimes, you know, comic books are crazy enough for me.
00:04:55.663 --> 00:04:58.623
Even those that are not too crazy.
00:04:59.805 --> 00:05:06.745
But, you know, when something is as crazy as this or even remotely reminds me,
00:05:06.845 --> 00:05:16.125
for example, a Bizarre World from the All-Star Superman or the other projects like Not Deceased also,
00:05:16.665 --> 00:05:24.905
for example, or the Batman Who Laughs series where things get crazy way out of bounds.
00:05:24.905 --> 00:05:28.665
then i'm starting to look deeper
00:05:28.665 --> 00:05:31.565
to see something that i can connect to in a
00:05:31.565 --> 00:05:38.025
way something more exciting something more interesting in it but when it comes
00:05:38.025 --> 00:05:44.405
to zombies i don't see anything like that because because in the case of marvel
00:05:44.405 --> 00:05:49.405
zombies just like a typical zombie project but with superheroes okay
00:05:49.405 --> 00:05:54.245
So it's a zombie genre first with just superhero costumes.
00:05:54.905 --> 00:05:58.305
Yeah, you just put superheroes in it, and they become zombies too.
00:05:58.485 --> 00:06:04.825
So it's just typical plague, typical people trying to survive, eat, everyone.
00:06:04.845 --> 00:06:06.645
And we've seen this before, but better.
00:06:07.145 --> 00:06:12.345
Yeah, many times, many, many times. Oh, I also forget about the I Am Legend,
00:06:12.745 --> 00:06:16.645
because it's also sort of a zombie project, but with the alternate ending,
00:06:16.825 --> 00:06:18.085
we see that that's not it.
00:06:18.625 --> 00:06:23.325
The movie, because I think that the book is vampires, but the movie is zombies, right?
00:06:23.325 --> 00:06:30.105
Yeah, a movie is like zombies, but in the end we see they are intelligent in
00:06:30.105 --> 00:06:35.225
a way in the alternate ending, which is canon right now.
00:06:35.465 --> 00:06:38.845
What would you say are the major differences between vampires and zombies?
00:06:39.757 --> 00:06:44.897
Also vampires okay vampires i like better than zombies because vampires typically
00:06:44.897 --> 00:06:48.537
usually have a interesting backstory yeah
00:06:48.537 --> 00:06:50.297
Yeah the tragedy tragedy.
00:06:50.297 --> 00:06:54.217
Yeah tragic tragic that's why blade uh
00:06:54.217 --> 00:06:57.097
every blade project even blade trinity is better
00:06:57.097 --> 00:07:00.577
than marvel zombies because you have vampires and
00:07:00.577 --> 00:07:04.697
yeah and you also vampires have more i
00:07:04.697 --> 00:07:07.457
all developed from okay okay and when
00:07:07.457 --> 00:07:11.017
you have a basic vampire you can tell so
00:07:11.017 --> 00:07:14.977
many stories with with a single vampire or
00:07:14.977 --> 00:07:17.737
with the even the composition the
00:07:17.737 --> 00:07:20.657
construction of it of this term you can choose
00:07:20.657 --> 00:07:23.457
very different paths where to lead how to develop
00:07:23.457 --> 00:07:27.137
them and for example it's not funny
00:07:27.137 --> 00:07:30.757
what i'm gonna say but i like the twilight series the vampires
00:07:30.757 --> 00:07:34.117
and i think that when you throw all this
00:07:34.117 --> 00:07:37.417
comedic stuff the love stuff or whatever that
00:07:37.417 --> 00:07:40.757
people are making fun of you have an interesting background
00:07:40.757 --> 00:07:45.497
of entire vampire vampire civilization
00:07:45.497 --> 00:07:51.237
i say because you have the typical normal vampires living you have vampires
00:07:51.237 --> 00:08:01.397
who were who are half breeds yeah half bloods and you have this whole uh illuminati vampire so
00:08:01.397 --> 00:08:04.297
There's like organization there's culture it's a civilization.
00:08:04.297 --> 00:08:10.977
Yeah it's a separate civilization, but with zombies usually in 99% of cases you can't have this.
00:08:11.377 --> 00:08:17.437
The Walking Dead tried to develop zombies more from what I've seen that in the
00:08:17.437 --> 00:08:22.817
latest seasons they made them more intelligent in a way, more self-sustainable.
00:08:22.977 --> 00:08:24.057
They were starting to
00:08:25.030 --> 00:08:31.750
you know to behave more like humans in a way and i get the idea but i never
00:08:31.750 --> 00:08:38.090
had time more time to you know to go through the next seasons i think i ended five or six
00:08:38.090 --> 00:08:42.650
It's something that i was kind of thinking 28 years later might they do it a
00:08:42.650 --> 00:08:44.350
little bit they introduce like these alpha males,
00:08:44.870 --> 00:08:48.770
different slightly different types of zombies but but i would be really interested
00:08:48.770 --> 00:08:52.970
in this new sequel that's coming in january bone temple if they if they really
00:08:52.970 --> 00:08:57.510
show like organization and communities and civilization within the zombies because
00:08:57.510 --> 00:08:59.470
a major theme of this last movie was like,
00:08:59.650 --> 00:09:02.790
who was the monster? Are the humans the monsters or are the zombies the monsters?
00:09:03.030 --> 00:09:06.450
Because the humans were the ones being slightly more savage, I guess.
00:09:07.130 --> 00:09:07.670
Yeah, but...
00:09:07.670 --> 00:09:11.770
But again, that's a twist that we've kind of seen before. You know?
00:09:12.850 --> 00:09:15.090
Especially in the Last of Us games.
00:09:15.430 --> 00:09:19.450
Yeah. Maybe. Can you tell us the overall story of the comics that you read?
00:09:19.890 --> 00:09:22.050
Besides, you know, so there's the plague, there's the infection.
00:09:22.450 --> 00:09:22.610
Ah!
00:09:23.170 --> 00:09:24.310
The superheroes are zombies.
00:09:24.610 --> 00:09:32.090
Okay, so long story short, we start with Magneto, who creates a plague to,
00:09:32.090 --> 00:09:37.390
you know, to defeat humans or whatever, so mutants can rule.
00:09:37.770 --> 00:09:42.510
Everybody becomes zombie, they infect others, then the whole population becomes zombies.
00:09:43.286 --> 00:09:46.506
Hank Pym, yes, Hank Pym is the Ant-Man here.
00:09:46.866 --> 00:09:53.206
He tries to create a cure, but he can't do this. He never succeeds in it.
00:09:53.826 --> 00:10:02.026
Then when everybody on Earth is eaten or they can eat more, they go into space,
00:10:02.206 --> 00:10:05.186
Silver Surfer comes, they eat Silver Surfer, they eat Galactus.
00:10:06.806 --> 00:10:12.846
Then they eat different aliens, different species. They even eat Ego.
00:10:14.546 --> 00:10:20.566
And you're telling me this is not awesome. No. All right, go on, go on.
00:10:20.606 --> 00:10:26.686
When they have eaten everyone, they go to Wakanda, where Black Panther has been
00:10:26.686 --> 00:10:33.426
infected, but it took them about 50 years or something like that, a few decades.
00:10:34.386 --> 00:10:37.026
So then everybody has been infected.
00:10:38.006 --> 00:10:41.606
Then we found out that Forge,
00:10:42.106 --> 00:10:48.446
one of the mutants, created the portal and that portal magically transported
00:10:48.446 --> 00:10:55.546
five infected superheroes into five different erves so they were spider-man
00:10:55.546 --> 00:11:00.226
wolverine hulk was there iron man conveniently
00:11:00.226 --> 00:11:01.946
The most popular super sure.
00:11:01.946 --> 00:11:08.566
Yeah and there was someone else but i forgot about them but initially the first
00:11:08.566 --> 00:11:16.646
Spider-Man is the most interesting one and he goes there, he infects people and by accident,
00:11:16.826 --> 00:11:20.266
he kills five out of six members
00:11:21.906 --> 00:11:28.206
and Sandman who was scared, he finds Spider-Man and he fills him up with sand
00:11:28.206 --> 00:11:34.586
and explodes him but by accident it was the real Spider-Man not the zombie Spider-Man
00:11:35.770 --> 00:11:37.710
And that was very weird.
00:11:38.250 --> 00:11:41.270
But imagine that scene, imagine that with Tom Holland.
00:11:41.950 --> 00:11:46.190
Okay, the best comic book ever. Yeah. Okay, we need this.
00:11:46.190 --> 00:11:48.190
Just rude. Okay, go on, go on.
00:11:48.450 --> 00:11:54.950
Yeah, sorry, Tom. Maybe Brand New Day will be awesome. Yeah. And then they return.
00:11:56.570 --> 00:12:00.370
And if I remember correctly, they try to eat the watcher.
00:12:01.310 --> 00:12:04.970
The sentry was infected also. Sentry fights watcher.
00:12:04.970 --> 00:12:11.050
and watcher does something to sentry to trap everything that happened in a loop
00:12:11.050 --> 00:12:16.990
but only on two earths only two earths are infected which is i can't comprehend
00:12:16.990 --> 00:12:21.710
it i don't understand it and i don't care to be honest
00:12:21.710 --> 00:12:24.570
Go on go on go on go on what else.
00:12:24.570 --> 00:12:29.830
Why should i go on it's just that it's everything that i remember because i
00:12:29.830 --> 00:12:36.310
to be honest i was just reading it reading it not focusing on reading because
00:12:36.310 --> 00:12:39.770
i don't like this type of zombie stories of
00:12:39.770 --> 00:12:43.510
All the comics you read for these videos is this is this the most depressed
00:12:43.510 --> 00:12:46.950
you've ever been like you're just like oh my god oh my god oh.
00:12:46.950 --> 00:12:47.390
My god
00:12:48.274 --> 00:12:59.694
No, but I've had, I don't know, some, maybe I was bored, maybe I was not focused enough. Oh my God.
00:13:00.374 --> 00:13:03.034
It's just, I just wanted to get over with it.
00:13:03.534 --> 00:13:04.374
These are the good ones.
00:13:06.034 --> 00:13:11.634
No, guys, I just blinked twice and that means he forced me to do this video.
00:13:12.674 --> 00:13:17.094
You're the one coming to me, hey, where's the video? When would you do it our video? Yeah.
00:13:17.854 --> 00:13:23.174
Yeah it's our rolling joke that that vin forced me to do this but yeah
00:13:24.274 --> 00:13:26.394
I did not make it well.
00:13:26.394 --> 00:13:31.054
Now that i compare it to what if what if did it better than the comic books really
00:13:31.054 --> 00:13:34.914
You think so you know this has happened before with the mc like honestly the
00:13:34.914 --> 00:13:39.534
mc sometimes will take like big awesome ideas that the comics fumbled with and
00:13:39.534 --> 00:13:43.674
then the the mc will sometimes land the plane do it better you know yeah.
00:13:43.674 --> 00:13:46.654
Especially with what if that it's just
00:13:46.654 --> 00:13:51.094
my opinion but i think that what if had more interesting
00:13:51.094 --> 00:13:54.254
episodes than many people had opinion
00:13:54.254 --> 00:13:57.234
about like many people thought that what if is just
00:13:57.234 --> 00:14:00.234
three seasons right three seasons that yeah yeah
00:14:00.234 --> 00:14:05.994
yeah that it was unnecessary but i think that some stories had potential were
00:14:05.994 --> 00:14:12.454
amazing of course there were some unnecessary filler episodes yeah but overall
00:14:12.454 --> 00:14:18.054
it wasn't that bad and marvel zombies episode proved it right now because it was in season
00:14:18.054 --> 00:14:19.534
One pretty good yeah yeah.
00:14:19.534 --> 00:14:21.154
Yeah and
00:14:21.154 --> 00:14:25.874
I i think part of the issue with what if the show is that it's different from
00:14:25.874 --> 00:14:29.634
what if the comic and a lot of people were expecting more like the comic and
00:14:29.634 --> 00:14:32.094
so they reject the show because it's different and i i.
00:14:32.094 --> 00:14:32.714
Think you know i
00:14:32.714 --> 00:14:37.014
Have criticisms of the show but it does have some good ideas and some good episodes.
00:14:38.021 --> 00:14:40.881
i think season three season two and three like really
00:14:40.881 --> 00:14:43.841
like you put it on you're like yeah whatever what
00:14:43.841 --> 00:14:48.881
if and then you watch it and you're like oh oh wow this is actually cool this
00:14:48.881 --> 00:14:53.121
is actually good there's some real good surprises and some real original ideas
00:14:53.121 --> 00:14:58.261
in there some standout stuff but it's it's different from the way the comics
00:14:58.261 --> 00:15:01.521
treat what for sure and i'm at.
00:15:01.521 --> 00:15:04.981
Least half of the episodes were very good.
00:15:05.321 --> 00:15:05.681
Yeah.
00:15:06.201 --> 00:15:07.881
In all three seasons.
00:15:08.301 --> 00:15:13.741
Yeah, for sure. Honestly, for sure. It's hard because each one is like a standalone
00:15:13.741 --> 00:15:16.841
story, so it's hard for you to remember it.
00:15:16.921 --> 00:15:19.801
It's almost overwhelming how many different stories there are,
00:15:19.881 --> 00:15:22.541
and you consume it so quickly and you just kind of forget about them.
00:15:22.941 --> 00:15:31.961
I would really like to see N Secret Wars some tie-in to these animated multiverse adventures.
00:15:32.021 --> 00:15:36.341
I would like to see the marvel zombies in secret wars in live action i'd like
00:15:36.341 --> 00:15:40.561
to see some of the what if characters and storylines come back and secret wars
00:15:40.561 --> 00:15:42.781
in live action what are your thoughts on that.
00:15:42.781 --> 00:15:50.401
Uh i think that i also want to see some of those but i only want to see those
00:15:50.401 --> 00:15:54.121
that will not interfere with the over story match
00:15:54.981 --> 00:16:02.941
so for example not I really wanted to see Strange but Strange was
00:16:04.461 --> 00:16:10.321
he became the whole separate new universe or so he revived his earth but he
00:16:10.321 --> 00:16:16.361
died instead so it's not possible but maybe I really hope for Kahori to appear
00:16:16.361 --> 00:16:21.081
and also there were some leaks that she will appear I
00:16:21.081 --> 00:16:23.921
Don't I think you have to If you create a character like that,
00:16:24.061 --> 00:16:26.561
she's going to come back. Right?
00:16:27.121 --> 00:16:34.541
Yeah. Especially now with, I think that in the end, because it's the theory, whatever,
00:16:35.141 --> 00:16:39.301
that in secret wars, in the end we'll have, there will be a battle world where
00:16:39.301 --> 00:16:43.721
only the most important individuals will be in.
00:16:43.921 --> 00:16:47.921
So it makes sense for Kahori to be there because she's one of the most powerful
00:16:47.921 --> 00:16:49.841
beings in the multiverse.
00:16:50.101 --> 00:16:52.421
Along with Gaia from secret invasion, right?
00:16:52.701 --> 00:16:59.701
Yeah, but we don't talk about her. I love Emilia Clarke, but no.
00:17:00.701 --> 00:17:05.401
I think now we're getting to the most interesting wrinkle about Doomsday and
00:17:05.401 --> 00:17:08.181
Secret Wars, which is how do we land the plane?
00:17:08.381 --> 00:17:12.101
Because the multiverse saga has introduced so many story threads,
00:17:12.641 --> 00:17:15.521
like individual story threads, and has not tied many of them together.
00:17:15.521 --> 00:17:22.681
We have like 20 ongoing storylines, and we're looking at these movies to tie everything together.
00:17:23.021 --> 00:17:28.221
And I honestly don't know how interested the Rousseau's are in doing that.
00:17:28.381 --> 00:17:30.741
I don't even know if they've been keeping up with all this stuff.
00:17:30.901 --> 00:17:34.441
I don't know how much focus they're going to spend on wrapping up the other
00:17:34.441 --> 00:17:37.501
storylines versus just doing some one storyline with Doom.
00:17:38.084 --> 00:17:39.244
It would be a miracle,
00:17:39.444 --> 00:17:40.784
I think, if they can do it all together.
00:17:41.284 --> 00:17:46.504
Yeah, but when you think about it, it was similar to with Infinity War.
00:17:47.964 --> 00:17:54.344
Because first we've heard that there will be three or four separate teams in Infinity War.
00:17:54.524 --> 00:17:58.744
And we all thought, how to make it? It's not possible to make sense.
00:17:58.964 --> 00:18:03.024
It's not possible to connect them in a way to make this even watchable.
00:18:03.284 --> 00:18:07.964
That people will start, they won't focus on it.
00:18:08.084 --> 00:18:15.144
and it worked it really worked it was magic but yeah it's my favorite mcu yeah especially
00:18:15.144 --> 00:18:18.224
Infinity war specifically just magic just yeah.
00:18:18.224 --> 00:18:19.504
Yeah i think
00:18:19.504 --> 00:18:24.644
I think that phase three of marvel was just operating on some untouchable level
00:18:24.644 --> 00:18:28.144
and i don't know if they're i don't think they're there right now and i don't
00:18:28.144 --> 00:18:29.784
know if they can do it again you know yeah.
00:18:29.784 --> 00:18:32.824
But when you think about it that you will have also separate teams
00:18:32.824 --> 00:18:35.624
in doomsday uh and it
00:18:35.624 --> 00:18:38.984
will be two and a half hour movie let's say
00:18:38.984 --> 00:18:45.424
and then you'll have secret wars then you'll have to spend less time with most
00:18:45.424 --> 00:18:52.184
important characters in doomsday so they can shine in secret wars a lot on the
00:18:52.184 --> 00:18:56.464
characters like for example young avengers okay okay
00:18:56.464 --> 00:19:00.604
I see what you're saying yeah yeah and the way that.
00:19:01.344 --> 00:19:06.844
Yeah i just want to say that for example fantastic four there will be in my
00:19:06.844 --> 00:19:10.484
opinion in the middle of it so they will they will not be the ones that will
00:19:10.484 --> 00:19:14.384
have not as many time as the others but they're the
00:19:14.384 --> 00:19:16.044
Ones they're the ones who don't matter right.
00:19:16.044 --> 00:19:22.384
No they're the ones that matter but they won't be the main focus of the of the
00:19:22.384 --> 00:19:26.564
story and they won't be in the background so they will be like the connection
00:19:26.564 --> 00:19:31.464
between the two in my opinion it's like maybe they'll separate or whatever yeah
00:19:31.464 --> 00:19:35.824
So i i think that's a that's a great point and so i would like to see the marvel
00:19:35.824 --> 00:19:39.684
zombies from this show i'd like to see that continue and i'm excited to see
00:19:39.684 --> 00:19:45.484
things like marvel zombie scarlet witch you know that just that poster that image looks amazing,
00:19:46.591 --> 00:19:53.411
Blade, I'm excited to see him Why is he Moon Knight? I don't know But whatever I'm gonna take that.
00:19:53.411 --> 00:20:02.591
That we'll have new characters Yeah First Blade appearance Unfortunately not Mahershala Yeah,
00:20:02.691 --> 00:20:06.191
They couldn't even get Mahershala for this Like, come on Dude.
00:20:06.191 --> 00:20:12.871
Was like Come on Come on, why? They
00:20:12.871 --> 00:20:14.511
Fumbled Blade so much.
00:20:14.511 --> 00:20:15.491
But at
00:20:15.491 --> 00:20:19.691
Least Blade and versus marvel zombies is a great pitch that's a great idea right
00:20:19.691 --> 00:20:22.431
i'm excited for shang chi i'm excited for ms.
00:20:22.431 --> 00:20:25.031
Marvel yeah this is
00:20:25.031 --> 00:20:27.091
Gonna be like a shang chi too.
00:20:27.091 --> 00:20:30.431
Well as it is so much
00:20:30.431 --> 00:20:36.111
They've we just needed to have a shang chi trilogy by now what are we doing right.
00:20:36.111 --> 00:20:44.191
Oh yeah shang chi one a shang chi episode in what if season three and now this this is our trilogy
00:20:44.191 --> 00:20:48.491
Yeah right they really i know it was hard with the strike and it was hard with
00:20:48.491 --> 00:20:52.871
covet but they really needed to like figure out their priorities i think and
00:20:52.871 --> 00:20:55.011
it's been it's been a difficult decade.
00:20:55.011 --> 00:20:58.251
But look back at then we've had doctor
00:20:58.251 --> 00:21:01.271
strange in the multiverse of madness which was
00:21:01.271 --> 00:21:04.351
a great movie and it was made in covet the
00:21:04.351 --> 00:21:07.791
same goes for the eternals and i'm not
00:21:07.791 --> 00:21:10.991
gonna talk about black widow because i don't care about black widow no tour
00:21:10.991 --> 00:21:14.611
for tour for never was never made but
00:21:14.611 --> 00:21:18.271
there were some projects that were good enough
00:21:18.271 --> 00:21:24.731
to you know that you you didn't have to say it was made in covid so people would
00:21:24.731 --> 00:21:29.851
still appreciate it because covid didn't matter back then uh when it comes to
00:21:29.851 --> 00:21:34.671
wanda vision falcon and the winter soldier lucky they were all made in covid so
00:21:34.671 --> 00:21:36.511
That's true that's true yeah,
00:21:38.490 --> 00:21:43.010
So I'm hoping for the best because I also want to mention, I think Marvel Animation
00:21:43.010 --> 00:21:45.570
has been really good. I think X-Men 97 was awesome.
00:21:46.210 --> 00:21:47.630
Your friend in the neighborhood Spider-Man.
00:21:47.790 --> 00:21:52.350
That was really good, man. And so I'm expecting this Marvel Zombies hopefully is good.
00:21:53.050 --> 00:21:56.850
I have a lot of faith. I have more faith in Marvel Animation than probably any
00:21:56.850 --> 00:21:58.190
other branches of Marvel right now.
00:21:58.830 --> 00:22:01.950
Yeah. Also, this will be the TVMA.
00:22:02.530 --> 00:22:05.370
Yeah, that's true. Do you think it needed it?
00:22:06.010 --> 00:22:09.170
I think so because they wanted to go a lot
00:22:09.170 --> 00:22:17.010
in the core area the core thematic in the a lot of blood a lot of violence especially
00:22:17.010 --> 00:22:24.670
with the spider-man just using his web to uh split to sever 10 or 11 heads at
00:22:24.670 --> 00:22:27.150
once of zombies so that was cool
00:22:27.150 --> 00:22:29.670
Do you think tvma was it used well in daredevil.
00:22:29.670 --> 00:22:34.010
Yeah I think that the scene with Kingpin and
00:22:34.010 --> 00:22:36.690
The guy with the jaw right.
00:22:36.690 --> 00:22:43.550
Yeah it added a lot of a lot of violence to Kingpin's character but I was the
00:22:43.550 --> 00:22:49.770
language also did the Netflix version was it TVMA
00:22:49.770 --> 00:22:57.170
I think it was PG-13 it was like towing the line it was almost far but I don't think it was quite.
00:22:57.170 --> 00:23:00.690
TVMA I think that the TV shows,
00:23:01.450 --> 00:23:06.750
TVMA really fits TV shows like Daredevil or Punisher because you know from comic
00:23:06.750 --> 00:23:11.570
books that those characters tend to be violent and there's a lot of violence
00:23:11.570 --> 00:23:13.810
in their backstory, especially Punisher.
00:23:13.890 --> 00:23:19.550
Punisher was for sure TVMA, there's no doubt in that, but Daredevil...
00:23:20.098 --> 00:23:27.058
with born again i think it worked for me because it was the return to this uh to this universe after
00:23:27.778 --> 00:23:38.378
eight years 2017 and you wanted to show us more of uh the broken daredevil the daredevil who was
00:23:39.058 --> 00:23:45.538
depressed who didn't want to you know to live anymore but had to you know to
00:23:45.538 --> 00:23:50.938
just he just tried to be strong as much as he can it really reminded me of the
00:23:50.938 --> 00:23:55.218
latest comic book series Daredevil called Day in Hell
00:23:56.318 --> 00:23:59.118
where it's just Daredevil going
00:24:00.978 --> 00:24:07.598
in his rage he's old and it's not much that he can do but I think that TVMA
00:24:07.598 --> 00:24:15.538
really helped Born Again to be to really feel that old Daredevil again because you have
00:24:15.538 --> 00:24:18.258
Especially especially coming in yeah especially coming into the
00:24:18.258 --> 00:24:21.298
mcu i think it was important to show the fans that you
00:24:21.298 --> 00:24:23.958
know this is not disney's daredevil even though
00:24:23.958 --> 00:24:26.878
it is on disney plus yeah but to really say
00:24:26.878 --> 00:24:29.938
no no we were serious about this
00:24:29.938 --> 00:24:33.758
you know and i hopefully hopefully that's the same for marvel zombies too like
00:24:33.758 --> 00:24:37.818
i hope it has a sense of seriousness even with like comedy and fun and stuff
00:24:37.818 --> 00:24:42.618
but and i hope it balances it well where it's not just saying you know shit
00:24:42.618 --> 00:24:47.158
but it actually feels like the kind of gravity of the situation.
00:24:47.158 --> 00:24:50.618
Yeah when you compare dma tvma in
00:24:50.618 --> 00:24:56.378
born again and marvel zombies for example you use tvma for a reason because
00:24:56.378 --> 00:25:01.658
when you plan a tv show you don't think about the rating the rating matters
00:25:01.658 --> 00:25:06.758
in the end when you shoot the scenes or whatever you decide whether to remove
00:25:06.758 --> 00:25:10.038
some harsh language to not use enough blood Bad, bad.
00:25:10.592 --> 00:25:18.912
when you use tvma it matters because people expect something they expect that you made a project
00:25:19.632 --> 00:25:22.392
that will fit this rating that you will see
00:25:22.392 --> 00:25:25.232
enough of blood that there's that it is there for a
00:25:25.232 --> 00:25:28.132
reason yeah just to simplify it yeah we've
00:25:28.132 --> 00:25:31.072
born again you had to have all those
00:25:31.072 --> 00:25:34.372
brutal fight scenes to show the rage of their devil to
00:25:34.372 --> 00:25:37.392
show how he is yeah depressed how he
00:25:37.392 --> 00:25:40.532
needs justice and whatever and marvel zombies you
00:25:40.532 --> 00:25:47.492
have to show how brutal is this world right now with zombies and everyone how
00:25:47.492 --> 00:25:53.872
even the the most the friendliest heroes like spider-man who always so good
00:25:53.872 --> 00:25:59.012
in other people yeah always so hope have to do brutal things in order to survive yeah
00:25:59.012 --> 00:26:02.912
And that's what i'm really looking forward to seeing and secret wars for example
00:26:02.912 --> 00:26:08.392
would you like to see them come to this universe and live action the the mcu
00:26:08.392 --> 00:26:09.772
characters come to this universe.
00:26:09.772 --> 00:26:13.032
Okay let's say that i would really
00:26:13.032 --> 00:26:15.992
appreciate their appearance but
00:26:15.992 --> 00:26:18.612
only if they were used in a
00:26:18.612 --> 00:26:21.572
way that infinity ultron used
00:26:21.572 --> 00:26:24.792
them in the finale of season one of what
00:26:24.792 --> 00:26:27.552
if okay that he just teleported them in
00:26:27.552 --> 00:26:34.212
the world or whatever or just to show their world when for example america chavez
00:26:34.212 --> 00:26:39.332
or someone else are traveling through multiverse i just like to look for something
00:26:39.332 --> 00:26:43.412
or whatever they just like say there's one component in the whole multiverse
00:26:43.412 --> 00:26:46.512
and it's on this earth and it's the marvel zombies for example
00:26:46.512 --> 00:26:50.892
Do you remember i think it's like in secret wars 8 i think it's namor and black
00:26:50.892 --> 00:26:52.912
Panther go to a zombie universe.
00:26:53.292 --> 00:26:54.812
The other one or the new one?
00:26:55.632 --> 00:26:56.272
The new one.
00:26:56.672 --> 00:27:00.772
I have not read the new one yet. I've only read the 19, yeah.
00:27:01.626 --> 00:27:07.746
i still didn't get to to read the avengers from hickman did not have time okay
00:27:07.746 --> 00:27:14.246
Anyway so i'm just saying there's comic canon for marvel zombies that universe
00:27:14.246 --> 00:27:18.426
colliding with secret wars and i would like to see this in live action yeah.
00:27:18.426 --> 00:27:24.106
This i don't have a problem with that but if you want to just put them to be
00:27:24.106 --> 00:27:29.546
a part of the main story no no like the part of the major major more major
00:27:31.666 --> 00:27:37.886
I like i i don't want the zombie infection coming into 616 that could cause
00:27:37.886 --> 00:27:42.126
you know a second a second blip that would actually be great but i don't think
00:27:42.126 --> 00:27:43.746
they'll do it you know imagine,
00:27:46.046 --> 00:27:51.346
yeah destroying destroying everything i would clap but they don't have the guts
00:27:51.346 --> 00:27:55.966
for that so i want to mention some bonus recommendations there's marvel zombies
00:27:55.966 --> 00:27:57.326
versus the army of Darkness,
00:27:57.546 --> 00:28:01.086
a crossover from 2007, issues one through five.
00:28:01.326 --> 00:28:04.346
There's Night of the Living Deadpool and Return of the Living Deadpool,
00:28:04.666 --> 00:28:06.686
which is a Deadpool Marvel Zombies crossover.
00:28:07.146 --> 00:28:13.206
And then just September 17th, 2025, they just started Marvel Zombies Red Band,
00:28:13.546 --> 00:28:16.626
which is an R-rated comic book with Marvel Zombies.
00:28:16.766 --> 00:28:19.466
It's brand new. There's only going to be four issues, a new miniseries.
00:28:19.626 --> 00:28:21.906
That's going to go September, October, November, December.
00:28:22.106 --> 00:28:24.486
So four months. Marvel Zombie time.
00:28:24.886 --> 00:28:26.726
Okay. It's Zumbin time.
00:28:29.166 --> 00:28:29.726
No.
00:28:30.666 --> 00:28:32.546
It was right there. I had to say it. Dr.
00:28:32.646 --> 00:28:35.846
Michael Morbius, what time is it? It's Morbius time.
00:28:36.126 --> 00:28:43.266
We need Morbius and Marvel Zombie. And then season two, Morbius. I need it. I need it.
00:28:43.686 --> 00:28:46.126
Is there even a way to make season two?
00:28:46.426 --> 00:28:50.786
In Marvel Zombies 3, which you didn't read, they have a new version of the Midnight
00:28:50.786 --> 00:28:52.146
Suns, and Morbius is the leader.
00:28:53.286 --> 00:29:00.706
Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah and it's not that bad it's okay that i think that's also
00:29:00.706 --> 00:29:04.146
the one that introduces head pool who was in deadpool versus.
00:29:04.146 --> 00:29:09.506
Wolverine oh yeah the the head with the spinning car yeah crazy crazy
00:29:09.506 --> 00:29:14.166
It's like it's like a zombie deadpool and you like chop off the head or something and then he's.
00:29:14.166 --> 00:29:16.946
Becomes headpool okay that makes sense okay okay
00:29:16.946 --> 00:29:23.006
Yeah okay anyway i think i think that's enough so thanks everyone for watching
