00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:03.589
Right now on Source Pages, our WandaVision, Agatha all along,
2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:06.559
and Vision Quest journey is about to come to an end.
3
00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:09.640
We are doing a primer for Vision Quest, and we
4
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:11.679
can't wait. But first... As.
5
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.740
The news messages, we'll be right back.
6
00:00:30.929 --> 00:00:33.909
Shh! It's time for the podcast.
7
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.979
Welcome back, my fellow high school Greco-Roman wrestlers. I'm Brian B.
8
00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:40.840
Klein. I'm Haley Hobbs.
9
00:00:41.380 --> 00:00:43.920
And this is Source Pages, and Haley's probably confused, but
10
00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:47.020
I'll get to that in a second. We read comics
11
00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.049
and novels as primers and all that good stuff. And
12
00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:52.770
if you guys know, what I was referring to was
13
00:00:52.909 --> 00:01:00.200
the 1985... wrestling movie with Matthew Modine, who was Papa
14
00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:02.710
in Stranger Things, called Vision Quest.
15
00:01:03.109 --> 00:01:05.890
Man, that cut is so deep that I think you
16
00:01:05.930 --> 00:01:08.069
might be the only one who knows it.
17
00:01:09.709 --> 00:01:12.450
I think the thing that it was most famous for
18
00:01:12.469 --> 00:01:14.469
was it had a number one hit from Madonna called
19
00:01:14.489 --> 00:01:17.250
Crazy for You as the love theme from it.
20
00:01:18.349 --> 00:01:18.969
I believe you.
21
00:01:19.329 --> 00:01:21.000
Sometimes, I guess they can get away with it because
22
00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:23.640
that was Vision Quest, two words, and this one is
23
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.299
Vision Quest... One word.
24
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:26.980
Like WandaVision. Yeah.
25
00:01:27.260 --> 00:01:29.219
So it's like Agatha Allalong.
26
00:01:29.859 --> 00:01:30.040
Yeah.
27
00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:31.299
That's three words, actually.
28
00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:33.780
She's her own little dark horse. It's okay that she
29
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.459
was not following form.
30
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.650
No. Plus, wasn't Agatha Allalong like the 17th and final
31
00:01:39.709 --> 00:01:41.109
different name for that show anyway?
32
00:01:41.769 --> 00:01:44.469
I forgot about all the names I had. Yeah, you're right.
33
00:01:45.329 --> 00:01:47.230
Harkness, Hail, whatever.
34
00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:50.299
I don't remember all the ones. Good callback because, yeah,
35
00:01:50.329 --> 00:01:51.060
there were a lot of them.
36
00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:55.510
Um, speaking of all those things, I can't remember what, um,
37
00:01:55.650 --> 00:01:58.109
who's the creator of all these shows. What's her name?
38
00:01:58.379 --> 00:01:59.090
Jack Schaefer.
39
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.030
Was it Jack? Okay. Who is the writer then? Who's
40
00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:05.680
the one that's basically in charge of doing the, um, uh,
41
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:06.980
reboot of Stargate?
42
00:02:07.620 --> 00:02:08.180
Jack Schaefer.
43
00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:09.780
Is it Jack Schaefer? Yes.
44
00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:12.379
She wrote, she, yeah, she's like the showrunner and the
45
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:13.580
writer from four of these.
46
00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:15.699
So that was my point is that she is, uh,
47
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:20.300
now in charge to be the showrunner at the second
48
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:26.289
attempt to reboot, uh, Stargate at Amazon. Now Stargate is a,
49
00:02:26.810 --> 00:02:28.439
if you guys don't know, it was a, it was
50
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.620
a Showtime franchise that went to Syfy after the original
51
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.819
movie from the, um, it was a basically a sequel
52
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:37.879
to the original movie starring, um, well, speaking of this,
53
00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:42.780
it had, um, Kurt Russell and, uh, Ultron. I can't
54
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:43.159
think of his name.
55
00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:43.699
James Spader.
56
00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:49.949
James Spader as the main character. So, um, it, The
57
00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:54.139
first two series, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, set a
58
00:02:54.379 --> 00:02:58.219
perfect tone for those sci-fi shows. It had humor. It
59
00:02:58.259 --> 00:03:04.120
had action. It had sci-fi elements. It gave us Jason Momoa.
60
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.069
That was the first day. He's pretty much the only one.
61
00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:09.169
I'd be a knock against it, but whatever.
62
00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:13.129
The first series had Richard Dean Anderson as the linchpin.
63
00:03:13.150 --> 00:03:17.610
That was MacGyver. It was Canadian stuff, or Canadian actors
64
00:03:17.669 --> 00:03:21.389
and producers. And it had the, then they had a
65
00:03:21.509 --> 00:03:26.030
third series called Stargate Universe, which was made after and
66
00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:29.849
during the time of Battlestar Galactica. So they decided to
67
00:03:29.909 --> 00:03:32.169
change the tone of it and make it more serious.
68
00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:35.210
Remember how like the superhero movies were one way and
69
00:03:35.250 --> 00:03:38.900
then Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy wanted to make him dark
70
00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:40.879
and edgy. And it was sort of like that was
71
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.780
a tone. And then Iron Man just said, yeah, give
72
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.819
you the big middle finger saying we're going back to
73
00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:47.879
what it was. And it's that whole Dark Knight side
74
00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:51.780
of it has sort of gone by the wayside. That's
75
00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:54.400
what happened to Stargate, is they tried to make it
76
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.430
more Battlestar Galactica, and it fell flat. It lost everything
77
00:03:58.469 --> 00:04:00.780
that made it what it was, and they tried to
78
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.229
make it feel like Battlestar, and it was just like,
79
00:04:04.250 --> 00:04:10.189
this doesn't work. So, hopefully, the tone of those shows
80
00:04:10.289 --> 00:04:14.969
and writing is right up the same alley as this
81
00:04:15.009 --> 00:04:16.870
trilogy of, I mean, we don't know anything, although I've
82
00:04:16.889 --> 00:04:20.339
been reading a lot of the good quick synopses of
83
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.509
people that have seen the show already, Vision Quest, and
84
00:04:22.569 --> 00:04:24.389
are like, it's the perfect way to end this thing.
85
00:04:24.730 --> 00:04:26.230
Getting rave reviews, of course.
86
00:04:26.629 --> 00:04:31.649
Yeah, but I think that she can grab that tone
87
00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:36.279
and mixture of characters, which we know that we can,
88
00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:38.959
you know, Agatha Harkness came out of nowhere, and she
89
00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:43.420
was like a D-level character in, maybe C-level, comic book character,
90
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.470
and made it into a household name. They had a
91
00:04:46.509 --> 00:04:50.889
top 40 song. because of the little diddy that they had.
92
00:04:51.629 --> 00:04:54.149
So as long as you can write and get all that,
93
00:04:54.949 --> 00:04:58.379
the characters right. And the blend, like the mixture of
94
00:04:58.449 --> 00:05:00.750
humor and make it still serious, but you also have
95
00:05:00.810 --> 00:05:03.740
to have, you know, you can't everything be at the
96
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.459
end of the day where you go like, wow, that
97
00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:08.620
was great. But it's so heavy that it just, it,
98
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.199
it does the seriousness of it, of it is just
99
00:05:13.740 --> 00:05:14.839
crashes down on itself.
100
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:17.079
So yeah. And like I said to you, I am
101
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.120
sad that she was supposed to be the showrunner for
102
00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:24.100
Fourth Wing at Amazon, and she left, and obviously she
103
00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:26.790
left to do this. And I just would really love
104
00:05:26.850 --> 00:05:28.670
to see her at the helm of that show, but
105
00:05:28.750 --> 00:05:31.509
that's okay. I think it'll be fine. Michael B. Jordan
106
00:05:31.589 --> 00:05:34.089
is producing it, so it'll probably be good.
107
00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:37.060
The Fourth Wing? I saw a thing.
108
00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:40.839
I told Liz to read those a long time ago.
109
00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:43.779
I think I got one of the books I got
110
00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:47.459
for free. It's sitting in my Audible library. Whichever book
111
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:48.699
was released a year ago.
112
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.459
Onyx Storm.
113
00:05:52.850 --> 00:05:55.730
I did read something recently. I forgot what movie we
114
00:05:55.769 --> 00:05:58.589
went and saw. Maybe it was Spider. Maybe it was Spider-Man.
115
00:05:58.689 --> 00:06:00.629
This movie sort of has a very tone of Black Panther.
116
00:06:06.930 --> 00:06:08.990
And it's based on books.
117
00:06:09.949 --> 00:06:11.860
Oh, is it The Children of Bone and Blood?
118
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:13.680
Yes. Where the writer of it's like.
119
00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:16.480
And the writer is like, has nothing to do with it.
120
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:20.240
This is the name. It's like, it's that, I know,
121
00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:23.100
the in-name only. She's like, whoever did.
122
00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:25.709
It is completely butchered. She hates something about it, yeah.
123
00:06:25.949 --> 00:06:27.769
So they basically wheel the timed thing, so.
124
00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:31.680
Yeah. I, I don't, I haven't read children of blood
125
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.399
and bone, but yeah, that's, that movie is going to
126
00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:37.379
be overshadowed with that narrative. Like it already is.
127
00:06:37.870 --> 00:06:40.990
Right. And that was like, she didn't even like go
128
00:06:41.110 --> 00:06:43.430
out and do it on her. They asked her the question.
129
00:06:43.529 --> 00:06:44.829
And so she's like, if you really want to know,
130
00:06:44.889 --> 00:06:46.910
here it is. Like she didn't want to promote herself
131
00:06:46.990 --> 00:06:48.589
for it, but they're sort of like, Hey, what's going
132
00:06:48.670 --> 00:06:51.689
on with it? No idea. Just sort of like they
133
00:06:51.709 --> 00:06:54.100
took the IP and went, you know?
134
00:06:54.569 --> 00:06:54.750
Yeah.
135
00:06:55.230 --> 00:06:57.110
Took it and did what they wanted. Was it a
136
00:06:57.129 --> 00:06:59.329
Disney produced thing or is that one that was Disney
137
00:06:59.589 --> 00:07:00.759
and then they lost it?
138
00:07:00.790 --> 00:07:06.629
I just saw something about New York Comic Con with
139
00:07:06.649 --> 00:07:09.089
that too. Because they already.
140
00:07:08.970 --> 00:07:11.120
Have a trailer out. Because I saw it and I go, wow,
141
00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:13.100
this very much looks like Black Panther.
142
00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:18.639
Yes. Go away, ad thing. I'm trying to read this article.
143
00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:19.420
Hey!
144
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:19.509
Hey!
145
00:07:21.930 --> 00:07:24.769
Was this the thing? Okay, so who is... Okay, and
146
00:07:24.889 --> 00:07:28.639
I'm going to lose....
147
00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:31.730
She was supposed to have a Comic-Con panel where she
148
00:07:31.769 --> 00:07:36.009
was going to promote another book, but she canceled it.
149
00:07:36.649 --> 00:07:39.170
Paramount is the one adopting.
150
00:07:39.870 --> 00:07:42.769
Children of Blood and Bone. Because there was a... Okay,
151
00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:45.120
this is the one that I'm thinking of. When it
152
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:54.089
was in Disney Plus' hands, Rick... I always butcher his name. Famuia?
153
00:07:54.230 --> 00:07:56.089
Famuia. Famuia.
154
00:07:56.129 --> 00:07:59.860
Famuia, whatever, was set as a showrunner and director of
155
00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:06.540
it in 2019. And then in March 2019, Walt Disney
156
00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:11.930
Company acquired Fox, blah, blah, blah. Went to Lucasfilm, wanting
157
00:08:11.949 --> 00:08:15.170
to focus on intellectual properties. Lucasfilm quietly put the project
158
00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:17.990
in the turnaround and eventually allowed the film rights to lapse.
159
00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:20.620
In 23, it was announced at Paramount Pictures. So this
160
00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:23.709
is the one that Rick Pamuia was supposed to be
161
00:08:23.750 --> 00:08:24.370
in charge of.
162
00:08:25.089 --> 00:08:27.370
Pamuia. It's not that hard.
163
00:08:27.870 --> 00:08:31.189
Well, no, his name is spelled F-M-A-U-I.
164
00:08:31.569 --> 00:08:31.930
I know.
165
00:08:32.509 --> 00:08:35.269
But it's Wea, not Yeewa.
166
00:08:35.309 --> 00:08:37.789
When I hear people pronounce it, that's how I hear
167
00:08:37.809 --> 00:08:38.929
them pronounce it. Pamuia.
168
00:08:39.649 --> 00:08:39.840
Okay.
169
00:08:42.769 --> 00:08:44.110
Okay. Yeah.
170
00:08:44.129 --> 00:08:47.639
So that was that. So anyways, this was one of the,
171
00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:50.279
there wasn't a lot that really came out of New
172
00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:51.419
York comic con this year.
173
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:57.179
Well, that's okay because a lot of big stuff has
174
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.769
already been announced and happening.
175
00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:01.309
And obviously you weren't going.
176
00:09:01.230 --> 00:09:03.789
To get everybody's kind of like playing it close now.
177
00:09:04.389 --> 00:09:06.990
Right. We weren't going to get anything from Lucasfilm, although
178
00:09:07.009 --> 00:09:10.830
we got a couple of book things that, Yeah, the third.
179
00:09:10.950 --> 00:09:13.039
I've got it pulled up here. The third book in
180
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.299
the Reign of the Empire series is going to be
181
00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:18.840
called From the Ashes. I have that second one in Audible.
182
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.529
I just haven't started listening to it yet because I
183
00:09:20.549 --> 00:09:24.429
keep getting like library holds that are coming up. I'll
184
00:09:24.470 --> 00:09:28.049
get to it. Claudia Gray, Queen Claudia of Star Wars
185
00:09:28.110 --> 00:09:32.629
book renown, is doing a YA Leia novel called Star
186
00:09:32.649 --> 00:09:34.970
Wars Princess of the Rebellion. We've had a lot of
187
00:09:35.029 --> 00:09:38.139
Leia novels lately. I liked most of them. Of course,
188
00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:40.159
I didn't like the one they just did, but I
189
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.639
must say the cover art on that book is beautiful.
190
00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:49.440
Are you talking about Legacy? Yeah. I finished Legacy. And honestly, okay,
191
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.629
so I'm listening to the audio book and they're dealing
192
00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:55.879
with some stuff with Kylo Ren. And I look and
193
00:09:55.889 --> 00:09:57.919
I go, there's like 13 minutes left in this book.
194
00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:00.580
And I go, did I not have $ 1? downloaded? And
195
00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:03.059
then the book just ends. Like, what was the, literally
196
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.720
I go, was this, I remember something about them trying
197
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:11.590
to fix, go to Titan to fix Luke's lightsaber. It's
198
00:10:11.629 --> 00:10:15.509
like non-existent. Yeah, but then there's this existential crisis where
199
00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:20.110
Rey almost drowns and then dies of frostbite. There's this
200
00:10:20.149 --> 00:10:22.909
annoying kid who is the bad guy that isn't the
201
00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:25.659
bad guy. Anyways, I got done with it going, this
202
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.539
honestly might be the most pointless Star Wars novel I've
203
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.679
ever read. I've read some bad ones, but at least
204
00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:32.259
it had a point.
205
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.639
It could have been really cool. I thought that it
206
00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:36.759
was going to be cool based on the premise, and
207
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.279
then it just wasn't. It was so boring and repetitive.
208
00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:41.730
I'm sorry. if you like star Wars, like I say,
209
00:10:41.750 --> 00:10:42.149
good for you.
210
00:10:42.769 --> 00:10:43.230
Yeah.
211
00:10:44.070 --> 00:10:47.690
Um, there's some manga coming out, manga, however you say that.
212
00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:48.169
Yeah.
213
00:10:48.210 --> 00:10:50.320
There's a bunch of, since next year is 50 years
214
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.759
of the, uh, new hope. There's a lot of like
215
00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:56.500
that kind of thing, a celebration of blah, blah, blah.
216
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.399
Oh, they announced a novelization of star fighter coming out
217
00:10:59.419 --> 00:10:59.879
in June.
218
00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:03.679
Delilah S Dawson is writing it. I do like her. She's,
219
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.669
she's more consistent for me than not. And then they're
220
00:11:07.690 --> 00:11:11.320
going to do a visual dictionary. You sent me this,
221
00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:15.600
which I had seen for comics, Ahsoka Escape from Thrawn,
222
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.940
which is not going to be just a retelling like
223
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.220
some of these comics have been of the show.
224
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.870
No, that's going to be, Filoni wrote it, and it's
225
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.110
going to be Ezra, how he survived that whole time
226
00:11:26.190 --> 00:11:28.730
on Peridia, waiting for them to get, you know, so
227
00:11:28.809 --> 00:11:29.610
it's actually kind of like.
228
00:11:29.909 --> 00:11:32.879
This is cool. So that's going to be cool. Um, no,
229
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:34.620
that was, that was about it. Those are the highlights.
230
00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:37.100
There was a, maybe we'll have to cover it too,
231
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.399
because we haven't talked about it yet, but Kevin Smith
232
00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:42.480
is writing a five or six part, uh, comic book
233
00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:45.940
for Marvel in it, where one of, it seems like
234
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.120
one of Dr. Strangers or a spell goes wrong. And
235
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.789
the characters from star Wars go to the six one,
236
00:11:53.830 --> 00:11:54.610
six comic universe.
237
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:56.120
Oh, I have seen that.
238
00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:58.070
Because there's that picture where you've got Darth Vader and
239
00:11:58.110 --> 00:12:00.590
he's got his arm up and he's wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.
240
00:12:00.629 --> 00:12:02.309
And it is MCU.
241
00:12:02.610 --> 00:12:03.370
That goes hard.
242
00:12:04.509 --> 00:12:05.309
It's not like.
243
00:12:05.470 --> 00:12:06.129
That's pretty cool.
244
00:12:06.429 --> 00:12:08.090
Because you have to sit there and think like if
245
00:12:08.149 --> 00:12:10.490
the characters come over and here's Mace Windu, everyone's going
246
00:12:10.509 --> 00:12:14.870
to be like, you're Nick Fury. What's going on here?
247
00:12:15.169 --> 00:12:15.409
Yeah.
248
00:12:15.490 --> 00:12:18.250
Especially because they have to know. That's the one kind
249
00:12:18.289 --> 00:12:20.879
of thing that irks me sometimes. We know that Star Wars,
250
00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:24.279
that whole thing exists in the MCU because of Spider-Man.
251
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.860
There's been two movies where they mentioned there's a Death
252
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.590
Star Lego thing. But yet they're dealing with these guys
253
00:12:32.009 --> 00:12:36.370
who are in Star Wars, in the movies, and they're
254
00:12:36.470 --> 00:12:40.230
in the MCU too as actors. You know what I'm saying? Right.
255
00:12:40.269 --> 00:12:43.220
But is that comic series going to be canon?
256
00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:46.659
No, but I'm saying is like if Tom Holland sees
257
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.289
Nick Fury and goes, wow, you look just like Mace Windu,
258
00:12:52.389 --> 00:12:54.889
Samuel L. Jackson from the Star Wars movies.
259
00:12:55.110 --> 00:12:55.990
Oh, I see what you mean.
260
00:12:56.269 --> 00:12:59.789
See what I'm saying? It's just a weird little.
261
00:13:00.009 --> 00:13:00.669
That's funny.
262
00:13:01.250 --> 00:13:03.629
I have started, after I did finish Legacy, I started
263
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.700
reading that Low Red Moon, which is the Star Wars Outlaws.
264
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.779
It's also a little too long, but I liked it.
265
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.850
The thing is, though, the characters, the two main characters,
266
00:13:17.610 --> 00:13:24.539
so Jaden and Slyro... we know like right away in,
267
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.720
cause the book takes place way before the game. I
268
00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:29.960
started replaying the game and I get, I literally started
269
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.980
the game and cause the Jaden and Slyro don't really
270
00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:38.019
come into the game till halfway through. And so the
271
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.720
commando droid and Jaden and Slyro are all there. So
272
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.139
now I'm listening to this book going, okay, they're going
273
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.259
to find out that this happens because I know already,
274
00:13:47.299 --> 00:13:50.519
I had this pre-knowledge listening to the book, which actually
275
00:13:50.539 --> 00:13:52.710
kind of was like, Because half the book, or most
276
00:13:52.730 --> 00:13:55.009
of the book, is Jaden trying to find out what
277
00:13:55.049 --> 00:13:59.250
happened to his half-brother. Not realizing that it is what
278
00:13:59.309 --> 00:14:01.879
it is. But we know that already if you're playing
279
00:14:01.899 --> 00:14:04.000
the game. So it's sort of like a prequel type thing.
280
00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:06.360
But it's actually a lot... I mean, it's interesting. You
281
00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:09.419
don't know any of these characters in this book at all.
282
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.950
There's a couple of references they have to things that
283
00:14:12.990 --> 00:14:15.230
are going on. Because it takes place right at the
284
00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:18.809
end of the Clone Wars. And then it jumps like
285
00:14:18.870 --> 00:14:19.669
nine years ahead.
286
00:14:19.690 --> 00:14:21.720
So... it's right.
287
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.059
You know that what they're doing and who's, who's like
288
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.470
the power players in there. But with it being whole cloth,
289
00:14:27.509 --> 00:14:30.490
you care about a lot of these characters, like the droid,
290
00:14:31.029 --> 00:14:33.730
who is a commando droid as reprogrammed and sort of like, wow,
291
00:14:34.029 --> 00:14:37.399
he has some aspects that are very interesting and it
292
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:44.830
makes it where you want. Anyways, okay, that was Cora
293
00:14:44.950 --> 00:14:47.570
for your listeners out there going, I don't know what
294
00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:48.090
that was.
295
00:14:48.929 --> 00:14:53.940
I don't know what she's upset about. Life, probably.
296
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.440
Someone was knocking on the door maybe or something. I
297
00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:56.759
don't know.
298
00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:59.870
I don't know. No, I don't know. She's just a disaster,
299
00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:00.649
but I love her.
300
00:15:02.690 --> 00:15:04.309
She's going crazy upstairs.
301
00:15:04.330 --> 00:15:09.629
She's like going absolutely nuts.
302
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.600
If you hear residual background noise while we're talking about
303
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.639
this comic series, it's just Cora being Cora.
304
00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:17.820
It's just Cora.
305
00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:23.000
Don't write us asking us if we're all okay. Everything's fine.
306
00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:24.919
If you ask Cora, she would probably say she's not.
307
00:15:25.259 --> 00:15:27.480
How are you? She would probably say she's not okay,
308
00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:27.789
but she is.
309
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:34.190
So, All right, we're going back almost 25 years here.
310
00:15:34.190 --> 00:15:34.870
24 years.
311
00:15:34.889 --> 00:15:40.059
I know! But you know what? This held up pretty
312
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.740
well for an early aughts comic.
313
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:45.360
Yeah, because it pretty much has, I mean, there is
314
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.870
still what they like calling the fan service when it
315
00:15:48.889 --> 00:15:51.590
comes to a lot of the drawing. I mean, one
316
00:15:51.629 --> 00:15:53.750
of the main characters in here where she literally is
317
00:15:53.809 --> 00:15:58.149
wearing a, a button-down, half-button-down shirt, which is.
318
00:15:58.210 --> 00:15:59.909
Well, we have to show midriffs.
319
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:05.840
Yeah, midriffs and just buxom and going like, okay, that's whatever.
320
00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:07.480
You like boobs?
321
00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:08.200
Yeah.
322
00:16:08.659 --> 00:16:11.500
Teenage boys are the guys that are reading this. But anyways,
323
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.279
Avengers icon, The Vision. If you guys don't know who
324
00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:21.269
The Vision is, or Vision, or whatever, this is a
325
00:16:21.370 --> 00:16:25.740
different take on it. than one that we're normally used to.
326
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.500
Which makes sense.
327
00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:30.779
Because Jeff Johns wrote it, and he writes some interesting
328
00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:31.379
stuff sometimes.
329
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.320
Right. Yeah, so he is the writer. And the first
330
00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:36.700
issue of this, of this four-issue limited series, came out
331
00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:41.580
in August of 2002. And Ivan Rees, Joe Pimentel, and
332
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.799
Chris Sotomayor is the... I'm so glad I know how
333
00:16:44.820 --> 00:16:46.320
to pronounce his name, because it looks at it and
334
00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:48.320
goes Sotomayor. But it's Sotomayor.
335
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.419
Sotomayor, yeah.
336
00:16:49.659 --> 00:16:53.940
Sotomayor. That's how H & M always... Sotomayor. pronounced it
337
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.240
when i was listening to i didn't realize like most
338
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.120
of those marvel shows because you're saying like the new
339
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:01.610
york marvel office is gone so like we talked about
340
00:17:01.649 --> 00:17:03.370
that i know but a lot of the shows that
341
00:17:03.429 --> 00:17:05.490
came out of there and stuff are just not existing
342
00:17:05.529 --> 00:17:08.329
anymore because they were based in new york yeah maybe
343
00:17:08.349 --> 00:17:10.470
they're just worried that they've got they got the hell
344
00:17:10.509 --> 00:17:12.349
out of new york because that's where all the damage
345
00:17:12.390 --> 00:17:16.609
and destruction happens.
346
00:17:14.990 --> 00:17:17.819
I mean they've got iman valani and that guy from
347
00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:22.759
the basement yard podcast doing the countdown to doomsday yeah.
348
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.819
So issue one is called Yesterday and Today, and it
349
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.700
starts in Queens, New York.
350
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:29.680
Yesterday and Tomorrow.
351
00:17:30.809 --> 00:17:31.200
That's right.
352
00:17:31.269 --> 00:17:31.509
Okay.
353
00:17:31.589 --> 00:17:33.930
I even wrote Tomorrow, but I'm so used to saying
354
00:17:33.950 --> 00:17:39.970
Yesterday and Today. Yesterday and Tomorrow. Queens, New York, August 31st, 1939.
355
00:17:39.970 --> 00:17:43.569
I'm assuming this is the New York World's Fair or
356
00:17:43.609 --> 00:17:45.930
some World's Fair or some expo or something that they
357
00:17:45.970 --> 00:17:48.809
used to have before we had better ways to communicate
358
00:17:48.849 --> 00:17:49.269
with people.
359
00:17:49.289 --> 00:17:52.829
They even call it the one that Tony uses in
360
00:17:52.930 --> 00:17:54.019
Iron Man 2.
361
00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.279
Okay.
362
00:17:54.380 --> 00:17:57.640
Not the Stark Expo. They call it the world. Yes, something.
363
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:58.259
I don't know.
364
00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:00.839
I need to get my mic a little bit better here.
365
00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:06.950
So there is Professor Phineas T. Horton, who is going
366
00:18:06.970 --> 00:18:10.329
to do his little spiel called The Vision of Tomorrow.
367
00:18:11.410 --> 00:18:15.789
And it is this robot that is sentient. And everyone's like,
368
00:18:15.849 --> 00:18:17.490
how do you get to make it walk? How do
369
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.160
you get to do this? And it's like, he's got
370
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.319
a solar gem I made on his forehead, like the
371
00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:24.230
Mind Stone. And then it catches fire and everyone leaves.
372
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:26.940
And they're just like, yeah, whatever.
373
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:27.440
Hack.
374
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.480
But then all of a sudden, Vision starts speaking. And
375
00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:34.920
he goes, wait, how are you speaking? And one of
376
00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:37.329
the reporters comes back and is talking to him. And
377
00:18:37.470 --> 00:18:41.029
he steals a gem. And he's pretty much like, Auf Wiedersehen.
378
00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:42.769
He's a Nazi.
379
00:18:43.269 --> 00:18:43.950
World War II.
380
00:18:44.230 --> 00:18:47.829
Yeah, he's a Nazi. And he goes, go get him.
381
00:18:47.930 --> 00:18:50.069
But he's inoperative now because he doesn't have the stone.
382
00:18:50.130 --> 00:18:52.390
But he was just, you know, he was talking to him.
383
00:18:52.410 --> 00:18:54.579
So it was like, this is weird. So we go
384
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:59.819
to modern day Queens, 2002. And there's some kind of
385
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.579
energy crisis going on because they're worried about electricity and
386
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.130
blackouts and this and that. And this kid, Derek Hoffman,
387
00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:08.829
is IMing somebody about conspiracy theories.
388
00:19:08.910 --> 00:19:12.079
It was very nostalgic, I must say.
389
00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:16.440
It was cool. The way that they focused in the
390
00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:22.289
IM from AOL. That whole type thing. I thought it
391
00:19:22.329 --> 00:19:25.690
was cool where they mentioned, that gremlin from the episode
392
00:19:25.750 --> 00:19:28.650
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet at Twilight Zone was an actual thing.
393
00:19:29.730 --> 00:19:31.269
And they're like, okay, whatever, dude.
394
00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:31.750
So, yeah.
395
00:19:32.589 --> 00:19:36.529
There's problems with blackouts. And so his dad, Derek's dad,
396
00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:39.259
who comes in and he kind of seems at first,
397
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:43.819
I make him seem like he's the typical single dad, drunk,
398
00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:49.880
yelling at his kid. But no, it's Steve Hoffman, and
399
00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:53.779
he is an Air Force pilot. And so Derek is
400
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.180
an Air Force brat, and he keeps moving him around.
401
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.400
And of course, he doesn't like it. And they're talking
402
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:04.490
about how his grandpa was in World War II and
403
00:20:04.509 --> 00:20:08.150
that his plane went down and he died. because of
404
00:20:08.210 --> 00:20:13.470
these gremlins. Gremlins is a very central word.
405
00:20:13.490 --> 00:20:15.059
Gremlins with a capital G.
406
00:20:16.190 --> 00:20:20.559
So, later on, they're sleeping, and all of a sudden,
407
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:28.259
Vision comes onto the kid's computer, and he's like, yesterday
408
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.640
is tomorrow. And the kid's like, what's going on here?
409
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.019
He looks, his thing is unplugged, his computer is unplugged,
410
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.990
and So, one of the things the guy who was
411
00:20:40.109 --> 00:20:42.750
IMing Derek said is, like, go outside, because I guess
412
00:20:42.769 --> 00:20:44.670
they're on the army base or close to, like, there's
413
00:20:44.710 --> 00:20:47.220
restricted areas on the army base. It's haunted.
414
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:47.880
Yeah.
415
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.259
And so, he gets.
416
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:52.259
I think they're just in Queens, but.
417
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:54.500
Maybe he's.
418
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.759
Yeah, there's, like, there's an area that's, like, all fenced
419
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.220
off and.
420
00:20:58.900 --> 00:21:01.079
Right, which I'm assuming if he's moving around, they're living
421
00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:04.920
on a base or close to him. Army bases are
422
00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:05.579
very pertinent.
423
00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:07.819
I didn't get that from it, but yeah, I know
424
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:08.119
what you mean.
425
00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:11.509
There's a close area that's cordoned off, and he gets chased,
426
00:21:11.910 --> 00:21:16.450
and this guy comes to smash his camera, and it's
427
00:21:16.490 --> 00:21:19.450
the vision of tomorrow. Now, this is creepy vision. I
428
00:21:19.490 --> 00:21:24.819
call it skele-vision. Mm-hmm. because he looks like, imagine comic vision,
429
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:27.500
green and yellow, but you could see like the skull
430
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.759
and like Ultron almost part of his, because the vision
431
00:21:31.019 --> 00:21:31.680
of tomorrow.
432
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.359
Not exoskeleton, his Inno skeleton.
433
00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:38.619
Yeah. It sort of looked like, like Ultron a bit
434
00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:40.180
like comics version of Ultron.
435
00:21:40.380 --> 00:21:40.740
Yeah.
436
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:42.490
Also human skull.
437
00:21:43.329 --> 00:21:45.109
The one we see at the fair is like all
438
00:21:45.190 --> 00:21:48.170
silver metal. He doesn't have the red and green. So
439
00:21:48.210 --> 00:21:52.250
he's like, developed the red and green throughout, you know,
440
00:21:52.289 --> 00:21:55.710
being quote alive all of this time, apparently, but it
441
00:21:55.750 --> 00:21:56.829
doesn't always stay.
442
00:21:57.630 --> 00:22:01.069
No, it's he, it's, that's kind of, cause sometimes, and especially,
443
00:22:01.089 --> 00:22:04.490
you know, it's weird to say when vision gets bad,
444
00:22:05.150 --> 00:22:08.210
his like skill of vision purse personality comes out too.
445
00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:11.230
So that was the end of issue one, issue two,
446
00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:14.779
I have the beholder. It starts off with back in time. Again,
447
00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:19.289
Phineas is lamenting that he never was famous. He's like,
448
00:22:19.410 --> 00:22:23.150
I never got to be as big as Stark and blah, blah, blah. Like, okay.
449
00:22:24.529 --> 00:22:28.190
Go back to the present. Derek and Vision are chatting.
450
00:22:28.230 --> 00:22:35.420
He fixes his camera. Baraculously, Vision does. Yeah. He's a synthezoid.
451
00:22:36.339 --> 00:22:40.920
And they just happen to be at Phineas's grave where
452
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.440
he died. Or not where he died, but he died.
453
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.980
Or he's buried. Yeah, Vision did not realize. And we
454
00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:49.640
have no reason to know why Vision just showed up
455
00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:55.099
now anywhere. But there is a note on, like there's
456
00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:59.029
flowers and stuff on the grave. And it's like, thank
457
00:22:59.069 --> 00:23:03.369
you for securing my future, Grandpa. And it's from this person, Victoria.
458
00:23:04.329 --> 00:23:09.329
So this helicopter starts shooting at them for some apparent reason.
459
00:23:10.450 --> 00:23:12.230
I didn't know where you hear the thump, thump, thump
460
00:23:12.289 --> 00:23:18.289
in this. And so they are running and there's explosions
461
00:23:18.329 --> 00:23:20.869
going on and the cops show up and they're calling
462
00:23:20.910 --> 00:23:23.579
in the fire department and this net and vision and
463
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:27.079
Derek's Derek escape, but they need to have a car
464
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.539
that has no GPS on it. So they, It doesn't
465
00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:31.220
get controlled.
466
00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:34.339
I love, because this is 2002, he was like, this
467
00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:38.039
has the GPS guidance system. It's from a satellite. It
468
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.279
can find us because that was so new back then.
469
00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:41.869
Yeah, I know.
470
00:23:42.309 --> 00:23:45.210
It was like, we thought we were in the space age.
471
00:23:46.509 --> 00:23:50.130
It was very funny. I literally know now. So they
472
00:23:50.230 --> 00:23:54.289
end up grabbing Derek's dad's car. Like, they steal Derek's
473
00:23:54.309 --> 00:23:56.170
dad's car. And he sees them and he's like, get
474
00:23:56.309 --> 00:23:57.470
back here with my car.
475
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.099
He's like, Derek, no!
476
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.349
Vision then tells Derek that he's like, I need to
477
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.069
find the one person that can help me and do
478
00:24:07.150 --> 00:24:11.990
so without any technology to find them. So there is
479
00:24:12.930 --> 00:24:18.490
something that is tracking them through CCTV and they're connected
480
00:24:18.529 --> 00:24:21.069
somewhat to Vision. It's got tentacles and stuff and it's
481
00:24:21.170 --> 00:24:23.250
at this airport control room and then all of a
482
00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:25.680
sudden it disappears but his eyes are glowing underneath the desk.
483
00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:28.420
So you start like... Ooh, maybe just keep talking about
484
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.349
these gremlins and everything. So they drive this car, the
485
00:24:32.430 --> 00:24:36.569
dead stolen car, to Vision's birthplace, which is Phineas' old
486
00:24:37.329 --> 00:24:41.130
house lab slash everything. And he said he was betrayed
487
00:24:41.170 --> 00:24:44.500
by technology way too many times in the past. So
488
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.460
he has everything written down, hard copies, this and that, which,
489
00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:50.140
by the way, if it was taking place in the
490
00:24:50.420 --> 00:24:52.740
40s and 50s, that's the way it would have been
491
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:54.960
anyway because he didn't have computers and everything. So.
492
00:24:56.339 --> 00:24:59.599
Well, but he would have been alive when computers were invented.
493
00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:03.700
Well, you never know. That gap between when Phineas was
494
00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:06.349
alive and when Phineas died and Vision came back, that's
495
00:25:06.380 --> 00:25:08.730
a whole big, like, you don't know. That's not a
496
00:25:08.769 --> 00:25:09.990
portion of the story.
497
00:25:10.109 --> 00:25:13.970
Oh, I see what you're saying. He's just, yeah, I
498
00:25:14.009 --> 00:25:14.269
got you.
499
00:25:14.430 --> 00:25:17.609
He basically is going there because he has to, you know,
500
00:25:18.210 --> 00:25:21.869
figure out who the person is that could help him.
501
00:25:22.450 --> 00:25:25.609
So he does his phase, like, they're trying to get
502
00:25:25.670 --> 00:25:28.329
through They get in and everything's locked and Vincent just
503
00:25:28.349 --> 00:25:30.519
faces through the door and Derek's like, what did you
504
00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:35.039
just do? He's like, whatever. I can't do that. We'll
505
00:25:35.059 --> 00:25:38.160
get to that later. So they find out that there's
506
00:25:38.180 --> 00:25:42.200
this person, Victoria Anderson, who's like, what is this Penn State?
507
00:25:43.049 --> 00:25:50.150
All one word. It's a college that is in Pennsylvania,
508
00:25:50.190 --> 00:25:52.170
which is a town or a state that's a couple
509
00:25:52.190 --> 00:25:55.730
of states away from us because they're in Queens. And
510
00:25:55.750 --> 00:25:59.210
then we go over to Penn State where Victoria Anderson
511
00:25:59.390 --> 00:26:02.619
is not a great student. She is a party girl,
512
00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:03.099
pretty much.
513
00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:05.079
And, you know.
514
00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:07.700
Just a typical, like, I got money to go to college.
515
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.420
I'm going to go and have fun. And they're talking about,
516
00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:15.730
it's keg stand Tuesday. It's like, okay. So back in
517
00:26:15.769 --> 00:26:18.210
New York, we're in LaGuardia Airport. And there is a
518
00:26:18.309 --> 00:26:22.869
plane that is taking off to go to Penn, like
519
00:26:23.109 --> 00:26:27.730
the airport that's by Penn State. And the gremlin just
520
00:26:27.849 --> 00:26:30.150
pops in and takes over the pilot. And he's like,
521
00:26:30.190 --> 00:26:34.670
take me to the granddaughter. The world is gremlin. And
522
00:26:34.950 --> 00:26:39.559
that's the end of that issue. Issue three, the penultimate
523
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:42.259
issue in this run, is called Father of the Machine.
524
00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:46.039
This is where it gets confusing because there's so many
525
00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:50.180
different people involved here. But the gremlin crashes the plane.
526
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.259
And... Yes.
527
00:26:53.720 --> 00:27:00.160
They're in LaGuardia still, or cause there's multiple gremlins that
528
00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:01.940
we find out later. That's the only thing I went
529
00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:04.089
back and it's like, okay, there's multiple gremlins. So the
530
00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:06.289
one that crashed might've been a different one, but anyways,
531
00:27:07.210 --> 00:27:09.930
Derek and vision are like, we're going to drive. And
532
00:27:10.349 --> 00:27:13.190
from Queens, I did, I actually Googled this from Queens
533
00:27:13.269 --> 00:27:16.519
to Penn state is about 250 miles. So it's like
534
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.160
a four and a half, five hour drive. So, um,
535
00:27:19.750 --> 00:27:21.730
There happens to be, must have left early enough because
536
00:27:21.750 --> 00:27:25.309
there is a party going on and Victoria is at
537
00:27:25.329 --> 00:27:27.269
this party and she gets hit on by this guy
538
00:27:27.289 --> 00:27:28.690
and she's like, oh, leave me alone. So she runs
539
00:27:28.710 --> 00:27:32.859
back up to her room. She's got a necklace, which
540
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:35.640
there's this little gem on it that she got from
541
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.359
her grandpa. Like, oh, I wonder what that is. And
542
00:27:38.420 --> 00:27:41.740
she goes in the bathroom. Oh yeah. It's kind of yellowish.
543
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:44.420
Looks like a solar gem maybe. So she goes into
544
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.539
the bathroom to try to like, you know, wipe the
545
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.339
creep out of her mind. When, through the mirror, Skelevision
546
00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:55.960
just shows up through it. Like, this is not something that's.
547
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.039
Right out of a horror movie.
548
00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:59.400
Yeah. Like, if it was me, I would have been like,
549
00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:00.789
holy Jesus.
550
00:28:00.809 --> 00:28:02.109
I think she wasn't on the toilet.
551
00:28:02.829 --> 00:28:08.309
I know. So, he basically just comes out and it
552
00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:10.769
was like, my memory cells are damaged. My nanite nerve
553
00:28:10.809 --> 00:28:13.130
mesh is scrambled. Can you please fix it? And she goes,
554
00:28:13.369 --> 00:28:15.109
it's funny because there's like two or three panels of
555
00:28:15.150 --> 00:28:19.630
her just with the same look on her face. Like, what? What?
556
00:28:19.930 --> 00:28:23.339
She's just confused. Yeah, she's so confused.
557
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:24.799
She's like, I don't think so.
558
00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:29.319
So, back to Queens, and the Air Force is taking
559
00:28:29.420 --> 00:28:34.460
Derek's dad, who is Steve, to Penn State because through
560
00:28:34.539 --> 00:28:37.779
satellite and other stuff, they tracked his car. Even though
561
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:39.509
it has no tracker on it, they can still track
562
00:28:39.549 --> 00:28:42.029
it through CC, whatever it was. The old-fashioned way of
563
00:28:42.049 --> 00:28:47.339
tracking a car, they tracked it to Penn State, which... Ironically,
564
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:51.039
or just matter of convenience, they show the sign that's like,
565
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:54.059
here's the entrance to Penn State. Oh, one mile away.
566
00:28:54.079 --> 00:29:01.089
Air Force Base. It's really close. Cool. Matter of convenience.
567
00:29:03.609 --> 00:29:08.609
They're getting there and another gremlin takes over the helicopter
568
00:29:09.430 --> 00:29:12.990
with the dad in it. We go back to Victoria's
569
00:29:13.029 --> 00:29:20.500
room and She and Vision are having an aggressive conversation. Yeah,
570
00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:23.539
she wants nothing to do with the situation. No, they
571
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:27.299
get close enough, and it activates Phineas to appear.
572
00:29:29.549 --> 00:29:30.289
Phineas Graham.
573
00:29:30.509 --> 00:29:33.210
Yeah, help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You are my only hope
574
00:29:33.269 --> 00:29:38.170
type thing. So it's a recording, and he explains exactly
575
00:29:38.210 --> 00:29:41.750
what happened about that Nazi agent's death. the gem and
576
00:29:41.769 --> 00:29:42.829
the Nazis created.
577
00:29:42.869 --> 00:29:45.650
And that he was like, oh, I was just trying
578
00:29:45.690 --> 00:29:48.490
to ignore it, but the Nazis made all this terrible
579
00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:51.839
stuff with it. So they actually made these gremlins.
580
00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:56.119
They made these gremlins that killed 200 pilots. And it
581
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.539
was like, so all those things they talked about how the, um,
582
00:30:00.140 --> 00:30:02.859
the allies back in World War II were getting defeated
583
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.309
by these unknown creatures. It's all based off of like
584
00:30:05.349 --> 00:30:08.430
superstitions and lore and stuff. But it ends up they
585
00:30:08.470 --> 00:30:11.430
were defeated by the heroes of the day. So whoever
586
00:30:11.490 --> 00:30:13.869
the golden age heroes back or silver age, whatever it
587
00:30:13.890 --> 00:30:16.230
was back in the 30s were there because they show
588
00:30:16.269 --> 00:30:19.210
like a picture of like human torch and whatever because
589
00:30:19.230 --> 00:30:25.940
he could fly and defeat the wrong company. They destroyed
590
00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:29.380
all of them except for the leader which was like
591
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:32.410
the You know, the main gremlin.
592
00:30:32.829 --> 00:30:34.049
The main G gremlin.
593
00:30:34.289 --> 00:30:37.240
Yeah, the capital G, not the lowercase g. And the
594
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.960
Russians took him, and they had him in Siberia for
595
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.799
X amount of years, and then he escaped.
596
00:30:41.859 --> 00:30:42.759
Like you do.
597
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:44.940
He tried to kill Phineas.
598
00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:45.900
He was there with Bucky.
599
00:30:45.940 --> 00:30:51.720
Yeah, I guess so. He escaped. He tried to kill Phineas.
600
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:54.809
Phineas survived. And he goes, he'd be like, I'm making
601
00:30:54.849 --> 00:30:56.670
this message because I know I'm not going to survive
602
00:30:56.710 --> 00:31:00.670
another attack. And the reason for this message is... is
603
00:31:00.750 --> 00:31:02.710
because it was only going to be activated when you
604
00:31:02.769 --> 00:31:05.670
two meet, is to find the leader, remove the gem,
605
00:31:05.730 --> 00:31:10.619
and destroy it. Like, okay, that pretty much was kind of,
606
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:12.579
I mean, that's kind of the point of it. I go,
607
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:17.440
that seems kind of simple. And of course, I mean, yes,
608
00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:20.259
we have to find this now. What actually got Vision
609
00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:24.519
and the leader and everything back onto the playing board now?
610
00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:28.670
We have no idea. And at that same time, that
611
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:31.319
dude that was creeping on Victoria bust back in the room.
612
00:31:31.339 --> 00:31:35.559
Cause he probably had too many keg stands and vision
613
00:31:35.579 --> 00:31:37.759
did not like it. And he goes, you humans have
614
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:42.279
no manners. And he basically is getting pissed. So he
615
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:46.569
goes down the stairs and he's like, humans go home. Like,
616
00:31:46.650 --> 00:31:47.650
what the hell is this?
617
00:31:47.829 --> 00:31:50.670
Cause he's also like, he's got daddy issues. And so
618
00:31:50.710 --> 00:31:53.250
he sees Phineas as his father, his creator, you know,
619
00:31:53.289 --> 00:31:56.079
thank the maker. And, He's like, ah, my dad. You
620
00:31:56.099 --> 00:31:59.160
got rid of my dad-o-gram. I'm so mad at you. Oh, yeah,
621
00:31:59.180 --> 00:32:00.779
because he runs out into the streets.
622
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.480
Yeah, he walked right through the hologram of Phineas. And
623
00:32:06.029 --> 00:32:10.750
Vision was not happy with that. He's like, no. And
624
00:32:10.849 --> 00:32:18.509
so they get into Vicky's car. And Derek is just like,
625
00:32:18.569 --> 00:32:22.369
she's explaining to Derek, this kid who just happens to
626
00:32:22.430 --> 00:32:25.710
show up. like that she's not very smart and that
627
00:32:25.789 --> 00:32:28.329
she only did the computer, like the, whatever the sciences
628
00:32:28.349 --> 00:32:32.789
that she is doing is because the money her grandpa
629
00:32:32.849 --> 00:32:34.769
gave her, it was like, you have to, you have
630
00:32:34.809 --> 00:32:35.309
to study this.
631
00:32:35.349 --> 00:32:36.690
You have to take these classes.
632
00:32:36.750 --> 00:32:42.019
You have to take these classes and they get to the,
633
00:32:43.019 --> 00:32:47.240
so the, the, the GPS drive is, this is where
634
00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:49.319
it's pretty much gets really not convoluted, but a lot
635
00:32:49.339 --> 00:32:52.180
of stuff happens. But the, to get to the air
636
00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:57.259
force base, The Gremlin dad, who is now flying the helicopter,
637
00:32:58.180 --> 00:33:01.079
and Vision arrives all at the base. And now he's
638
00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:04.539
just like, oh, do you feel fear, brother? Because now
639
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.519
the Gremlin and Vision are there together. And they're technically
640
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:09.900
brothers because they're both created from the same solar gem
641
00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:12.460
type thing, even though they're not created by the same person.
642
00:33:12.859 --> 00:33:16.380
And he's like, never. I don't fear anything. I should
643
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:20.789
be a Green Lantern because they don't fear anything. Yeah.
644
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:21.849
Here we go again.
645
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:26.920
Issue four. It's called Dogfight, and the gremlin tells Vision
646
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:33.380
that he is infected by humanity. And Gremdad is there.
647
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:36.359
He's basically– that's what we're calling the gremlin now because
648
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.619
he's infected Derek's dad. And he's like half human. It's
649
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.759
kind of almost like a warlock looking infection type thing.
650
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.549
And he goes, my mission is to create as much
651
00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:50.589
fear and death in the USA as possible. Because obviously
652
00:33:50.609 --> 00:33:52.609
this is all of these Nazi mandates from the 30s
653
00:33:52.690 --> 00:33:53.109
and 40s.
654
00:33:53.210 --> 00:33:55.609
Yeah, his programming is a little out of date.
655
00:33:55.869 --> 00:33:59.190
Exactly. And then after that, Vision will join me or
656
00:33:59.230 --> 00:34:04.569
will be dismantled. So Vision fights Gremlin. And he's going
657
00:34:04.630 --> 00:34:08.769
up against a bunch of controlled tanks and army military units.
658
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.559
you know, like equipment and stuff like that. And so
659
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.219
that's with vision and the gremlin while the grim dad.
660
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.090
So there's multiples now because vision is fighting the capital
661
00:34:21.130 --> 00:34:25.210
gremlin and grim dad is like one of the minor gremlins.
662
00:34:25.329 --> 00:34:28.389
And he has this, the reason I guess why he
663
00:34:28.429 --> 00:34:32.389
took the dad, what was his name again? Steve, because
664
00:34:32.429 --> 00:34:37.539
he can fly this B 52 fortress and it's got bombs.
665
00:34:38.590 --> 00:34:43.570
And they're basically going to fly it into Philadelphia and
666
00:34:43.610 --> 00:34:46.050
just crash it and explain it. Don't forget, this is
667
00:34:46.110 --> 00:34:49.409
August 2002. This was like less than a year after 9-11.
668
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:50.769
I'm going like, wow.
669
00:34:51.019 --> 00:34:52.639
It's kind of dark, Jeff.
670
00:34:53.480 --> 00:35:00.889
Like, okay. So the Vision defeats the one Gremlin for now.
671
00:35:04.309 --> 00:35:09.179
He goes back to fight the fortress or whatever. So
672
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.139
they're fighting on the fortress now. Vision shows up, rips
673
00:35:12.179 --> 00:35:16.179
the gremlin off of dad. But the bomb is fused
674
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:18.119
and they're set to go. They're going to blow up regardless.
675
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.840
And he's going to crash to be 52. And Vicky,
676
00:35:21.980 --> 00:35:25.199
of all people, whispers to Vision like, hey, let him
677
00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:28.920
assimilate you. He's like, what? He's like, let him assimilate you. Because,
678
00:35:30.019 --> 00:35:32.619
you know, just trust me. And they're like, wait, what's
679
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:35.380
going on here? And Victoria is the one that's giving
680
00:35:35.420 --> 00:35:38.440
him this reason. So he shifts and he lets him
681
00:35:38.460 --> 00:35:38.920
take him over.
682
00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:40.159
He's like, no, no.
683
00:35:40.219 --> 00:35:42.400
And so because she knows that he can shift from
684
00:35:42.460 --> 00:35:47.099
ghost to solid. And he's like, let him assimilate. Like, why?
685
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:51.280
He's like, go with a form of like quicksand, which
686
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.360
will not allow him to be solid or whatever. And
687
00:35:53.429 --> 00:35:56.869
in the same time. Right. Vision's immune system. What the
688
00:35:56.889 --> 00:35:59.150
hell is he having an immune system? He is a non.
689
00:35:59.170 --> 00:36:00.110
Because he's a smithozoid.
690
00:36:00.809 --> 00:36:02.210
Okay, so it's sort of just like, does he get
691
00:36:02.230 --> 00:36:02.469
it cold?
692
00:36:02.489 --> 00:36:04.849
I don't know, because it's convenient sometimes.
693
00:36:04.869 --> 00:36:08.030
Right, so the immune system takes him apart bit by bit.
694
00:36:08.050 --> 00:36:10.170
Mm-hmm.
695
00:36:10.190 --> 00:36:13.030
And so he's gone. They got this roller gem. The
696
00:36:13.090 --> 00:36:17.650
main G gremlin is gone. And the dad lands to
697
00:36:17.690 --> 00:36:24.510
be 52 on 95 North. And Vision is all sentimental.
698
00:36:24.530 --> 00:36:29.239
He's like, oh, because originally Derek asked vision if he
699
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.760
believed in ghosts he's like no he's like i believe
700
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:34.460
in ghosts because ghosts from our past are the things
701
00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:39.280
that guide us and so they he hugs everybody he
702
00:36:39.300 --> 00:36:42.719
goes around hugs victoria and hugs steve and derrick and
703
00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:44.280
he's happy.
704
00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:46.420
Old softy yeah he's like i'm happy to have met
705
00:36:46.460 --> 00:36:50.190
you guys and victoria's like um i'm gonna actually start
706
00:36:50.329 --> 00:36:54.409
using my brain and because i realized i have one
707
00:36:54.610 --> 00:36:56.690
because she came up with these ideas and was like
708
00:36:56.710 --> 00:36:59.010
all right man maybe i'm actually good at this And
709
00:36:59.030 --> 00:37:01.079
she's like, well, stay in touch, Vision, because, you know,
710
00:37:01.139 --> 00:37:05.780
we are family. And he goes, he basically has like
711
00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:06.619
a jaw drop.
712
00:37:06.659 --> 00:37:07.880
He has puppy dog eyes.
713
00:37:07.900 --> 00:37:12.000
We are family. Your grandpa is my dad. Yeah, so
714
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.260
you're like my great niece or something like that, or
715
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:18.559
my niece, whatever it was. And so the last scene
716
00:37:18.619 --> 00:37:21.840
is him at Beanius' grave saying, I'm going to carry
717
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:23.699
on with your wish for me to be a hero.
718
00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:27.059
The end. The end.
719
00:37:29.909 --> 00:37:35.820
Vision. Vision out. Vision out. I don't think there's going
720
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.619
to be a lot of that in the show. I
721
00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:40.820
think there's going.
722
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:43.500
To be a lot of daddy issue themes in the show.
723
00:37:45.059 --> 00:37:48.300
I still have no idea because there's also looking at
724
00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:52.409
some of the things like what's his face? The guy that,
725
00:37:52.670 --> 00:37:53.889
oh my god, I can't think of his name. The
726
00:37:53.929 --> 00:37:54.710
guy that was the.
727
00:37:58.929 --> 00:38:04.030
He was the main antagonist captain in Picard season three
728
00:38:04.869 --> 00:38:11.110
is in this series playing Paladin. And, um, I just
729
00:38:11.130 --> 00:38:15.510
happened to see, I happened to see Paladin is a, um,
730
00:38:16.230 --> 00:38:21.650
one of the C level characters. I guess you want
731
00:38:21.789 --> 00:38:26.710
to call it that. Um, hold on. Um, like he's
732
00:38:26.730 --> 00:38:30.929
a bad guy. He's a bad guy. Um, hold on.
733
00:38:30.940 --> 00:38:32.739
I'm going to, I'm going to get through this year
734
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.400
and I'm going to find out who, uh, I'm not
735
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:39.219
going to be able to do this in quite enough
736
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:44.039
time without, you know, let's see. Quite enough time.
737
00:38:44.179 --> 00:38:44.960
Who's on the timer?
738
00:38:46.699 --> 00:38:49.880
This is, cause that was when Jack Crusher, hold on,
739
00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:52.820
Jordy Elton. Oh my God. He should have been like
740
00:38:52.860 --> 00:38:54.719
one of the main people here. Why can't I think
741
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:56.780
of who this is? Cause he was the captain of
742
00:38:56.820 --> 00:39:01.690
the ship that they, him and, um, Riker basically commandeered,
743
00:39:01.730 --> 00:39:03.469
and he's like, oh, here we go, Todd Stashwick.
744
00:39:05.429 --> 00:39:07.550
None of these names mean anything to me.
745
00:39:07.869 --> 00:39:11.219
No, but he is playing... He was Captain Liam Shaw
746
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:15.480
in Season 3 of Picard. His main thing was on
747
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:19.079
the sci-fi show 12 Monkeys. When you see him, I
748
00:39:19.099 --> 00:39:21.599
know it because he's a big Star Wars guy, so
749
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:23.780
he's been on Rebel Force Radio and able to chat
750
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:29.070
with him and stuff like that. But he is playing in... Yeah.
751
00:39:29.210 --> 00:39:29.929
And scroll all the way down.
752
00:39:30.019 --> 00:39:30.179
Here.
753
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:35.659
Post-production for Vision Quest is playing Paladin. And Paladin is a.
754
00:39:36.260 --> 00:39:40.179
Mark Spector was actually ultimate version of Paladin. And he
755
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:45.320
is pretty much like a. He's not a supervillain. His
756
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:48.559
mercenary activities often bring him into conflict with superheroes facing
757
00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:51.659
characters like Daredevil and Punisher. He notably worked for the
758
00:39:51.699 --> 00:39:55.320
Wild Pack, the Thunderbolts, and the Serpent Society. So if
759
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:58.119
you saw him, he basically wears like a purple and
760
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:00.570
black outfit. So nothing like.
761
00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:01.800
Okay.
762
00:40:01.820 --> 00:40:03.789
Anyways, I just thought of that because they were at
763
00:40:03.829 --> 00:40:05.530
New York Comic Con and I go, what is he
764
00:40:05.590 --> 00:40:07.989
doing there? And they say, he's playing Paladin. I'm like, oh,
765
00:40:08.010 --> 00:40:12.969
they're bringing Paladin into the MCU. Which... With the MCU
766
00:40:12.989 --> 00:40:15.599
these days, they're bringing everyone in to have like a, hey,
767
00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:18.619
how's it going? And then we'll never see. I hate
768
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:20.699
to say it. I was talking with some of my
769
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.960
friends again. We're never going to see Mark Spector in
770
00:40:22.980 --> 00:40:26.539
the MCU. We've never seen Mark Spector ever again. Unless
771
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:30.739
they do like a monster thing with, you know, because they,
772
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:32.679
I mean, Werewolf by Night was so good and they
773
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:35.119
still got, you know, any of those.
774
00:40:35.539 --> 00:40:37.679
They could still do it. It could come back.
775
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:39.679
They could. We'll see.
776
00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:40.159
We'll see.
777
00:40:40.179 --> 00:40:43.610
I mean, we don't know any television show. live action
778
00:40:43.969 --> 00:40:44.409
in the MCU.
779
00:40:44.429 --> 00:40:50.559
Yeah, we do now. They announced Zodiac.
780
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.519
Oh, Zodiac. Yeah, that's supposed to be like a spy thriller,
781
00:40:54.460 --> 00:40:56.719
which feels more like it, because obviously the A is the.
782
00:40:57.059 --> 00:41:01.530
Just don't screw the pooch like you did with Secret Invasion, Marvel.
783
00:41:01.550 --> 00:41:05.829
I think they had the scroll of it all was just...
784
00:41:05.690 --> 00:41:09.389
I mean, this one focusing on the A is the
785
00:41:09.769 --> 00:41:13.929
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, pretty much. And so it's going.
786
00:41:13.829 --> 00:41:16.050
To be like, people are getting excited. Yeah.
787
00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:20.000
So anyway, so that is, when is it? Patient. Everyone
788
00:41:20.019 --> 00:41:22.179
you get this week is the first, what? Two episodes
789
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.239
of Wanda vision. Yeah.
790
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:24.840
Wednesday.
791
00:41:24.860 --> 00:41:28.019
Wanda vision, vision quest, vision quest.
792
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:30.780
And it's, I'm excited.
793
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:33.039
How many episodes long is it? Eight.
794
00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:34.679
I think it's eight. Yeah.
795
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:35.239
November.
796
00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:35.760
Okay.
797
00:41:35.780 --> 00:41:38.280
So, well, we get to this week to next week
798
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:41.070
to the week after that. And then November 3rd, November 10th.
799
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:45.789
So they're, Um, Oh, they're, they're jumping it in because
800
00:41:46.070 --> 00:41:48.269
this is interesting. The first two were directed by the
801
00:41:48.309 --> 00:41:50.210
same guy, same with the three and four or five
802
00:41:50.250 --> 00:41:51.829
and six and then seven and eight. So it was
803
00:41:51.849 --> 00:41:52.150
sort of.
804
00:41:52.130 --> 00:41:54.150
Like, Oh, I like when they do that.
805
00:41:55.070 --> 00:41:59.510
It's probably like they're used to remember how, whatever did that. Yeah,
806
00:41:59.550 --> 00:42:02.809
that's true. And Dr. Who would have a lot of
807
00:42:02.849 --> 00:42:06.090
shows would have like episode one of two. It's like
808
00:42:06.110 --> 00:42:08.369
a cliffhanger. So basically it was a 90 minute episode.
809
00:42:08.690 --> 00:42:09.429
So they split them.
810
00:42:09.630 --> 00:42:09.909
Right.
811
00:42:10.269 --> 00:42:12.659
So, um, Yeah, so we're going to be doing that.
812
00:42:13.489 --> 00:42:16.210
And I'm going.
813
00:42:15.809 --> 00:42:16.329
To take a.
814
00:42:17.809 --> 00:42:20.630
Look here. Next week we're doing Clayface Primer. So we're
815
00:42:20.650 --> 00:42:22.650
going to have to go see that in the movies
816
00:42:22.690 --> 00:42:23.329
next week.
817
00:42:25.469 --> 00:42:27.469
Yeah, I'm worried about that movie.
818
00:42:28.329 --> 00:42:31.199
You know what's worrisome about it? It's one of those
819
00:42:31.260 --> 00:42:33.820
movies where it's like when they're doing it this late
820
00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:36.219
and they haven't had any... I mean, it's coming out
821
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:40.050
in 10 days. And there's been no... pre-screenings I mean
822
00:42:40.110 --> 00:42:42.750
unless they usually sometimes will do a I.
823
00:42:42.710 --> 00:42:45.269
Think they're just starting to do them because Ashley said
824
00:42:45.309 --> 00:42:48.909
Bill Bria was gonna go to one okay but that's
825
00:42:48.949 --> 00:42:54.730
like really late yeah.
826
00:42:52.989 --> 00:42:54.349
I mean usually I mean usually I.
827
00:42:54.329 --> 00:42:56.869
Was excited for it now I'm like I don't know.
828
00:42:57.769 --> 00:43:01.769
The world premiere would probably be like tomorrow or like
829
00:43:01.809 --> 00:43:05.690
the and the thing is it's budget is only 40
830
00:43:05.690 --> 00:43:08.780
million dollars how much of it is And there's gotta
831
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:14.250
be a lot of, uh, CGI into it. Yeah.
832
00:43:14.289 --> 00:43:17.010
I mean, the cast, we'll see. You know what? We're
833
00:43:17.030 --> 00:43:20.349
going to read the one bad day, one shot comic,
834
00:43:20.409 --> 00:43:24.309
and it'll be a good time. And that's on Kindle unlimited. If, uh,
835
00:43:24.489 --> 00:43:28.079
you don't have the DC comics app, like I don't anymore.
836
00:43:29.059 --> 00:43:34.400
Um, I forgot what I was going to say. Um, Oh,
837
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.179
I mean, it can't be as bad as Craven, the hunter.
838
00:43:37.750 --> 00:43:38.320
or whatever.
839
00:43:38.429 --> 00:43:42.880
I still haven't seen it. You can't even, you can't. Morbius.
840
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:46.340
Yeah. If it's, if it's more, I mean, think about it.
841
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:52.590
The movies before that were Morbius and Spiderweb, Spiderweb. I mean,
842
00:43:53.070 --> 00:43:56.250
if a progressive, if the rest of those movies was Morbius,
843
00:43:56.369 --> 00:44:00.449
it's like, God, that is like, you know, I mean.
844
00:44:00.750 --> 00:44:04.010
Yeah. That's scraping the bottom of the barrel.
845
00:44:04.550 --> 00:44:06.389
But the whole thing, you could polish the turd, but
846
00:44:06.409 --> 00:44:13.119
it's still a piece of crap. Anyways, so we'll be
847
00:44:13.179 --> 00:44:18.059
doing some Clayface primers next week. And in the meantime,
848

860

This is episode 256. 256.
861
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:56.420
That's a good number.
862
00:44:56.420 --> 00:44:56.820
256.
863
00:44:56.820 --> 00:45:02.739
Yes, it is. So until episode 257, remember two things.

1
00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:03.589
Right now on Source Pages, our WandaVision, Agatha all along,
2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:06.559
and Vision Quest journey is about to come to an end.
3
00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:09.640
We are doing a primer for Vision Quest, and we
4
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:11.679
can't wait. But first... As.
5
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.740
The news messages, we'll be right back.
6
00:00:30.929 --> 00:00:33.909
Shh! It's time for the podcast.
7
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.979
Welcome back, my fellow high school Greco-Roman wrestlers. I'm Brian B.
8
00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:40.840
Klein. I'm Haley Hobbs.
9
00:00:41.380 --> 00:00:43.920
And this is Source Pages, and Haley's probably confused, but
10
00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:47.020
I'll get to that in a second. We read comics
11
00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.049
and novels as primers and all that good stuff. And
12
00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:52.770
if you guys know, what I was referring to was
13
00:00:52.909 --> 00:01:00.200
the 1985... wrestling movie with Matthew Modine, who was Papa
14
00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:02.710
in Stranger Things, called Vision Quest.
15
00:01:03.109 --> 00:01:05.890
Man, that cut is so deep that I think you
16
00:01:05.930 --> 00:01:08.069
might be the only one who knows it.
17
00:01:09.709 --> 00:01:12.450
I think the thing that it was most famous for
18
00:01:12.469 --> 00:01:14.469
was it had a number one hit from Madonna called
19
00:01:14.489 --> 00:01:17.250
Crazy for You as the love theme from it.
20
00:01:18.349 --> 00:01:18.969
I believe you.
21
00:01:19.329 --> 00:01:21.000
Sometimes, I guess they can get away with it because
22
00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:23.640
that was Vision Quest, two words, and this one is
23
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.299
Vision Quest... One word.
24
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:26.980
Like WandaVision. Yeah.
25
00:01:27.260 --> 00:01:29.219
So it's like Agatha Allalong.
26
00:01:29.859 --> 00:01:30.040
Yeah.
27
00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:31.299
That's three words, actually.
28
00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:33.780
She's her own little dark horse. It's okay that she
29
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.459
was not following form.
30
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.650
No. Plus, wasn't Agatha Allalong like the 17th and final
31
00:01:39.709 --> 00:01:41.109
different name for that show anyway?
32
00:01:41.769 --> 00:01:44.469
I forgot about all the names I had. Yeah, you're right.
33
00:01:45.329 --> 00:01:47.230
Harkness, Hail, whatever.
34
00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:50.299
I don't remember all the ones. Good callback because, yeah,
35
00:01:50.329 --> 00:01:51.060
there were a lot of them.
36
00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:55.510
Um, speaking of all those things, I can't remember what, um,
37
00:01:55.650 --> 00:01:58.109
who's the creator of all these shows. What's her name?
38
00:01:58.379 --> 00:01:59.090
Jack Schaefer.
39
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.030
Was it Jack? Okay. Who is the writer then? Who's
40
00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:05.680
the one that's basically in charge of doing the, um, uh,
41
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:06.980
reboot of Stargate?
42
00:02:07.620 --> 00:02:08.180
Jack Schaefer.
43
00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:09.780
Is it Jack Schaefer? Yes.
44
00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:12.379
She wrote, she, yeah, she's like the showrunner and the
45
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:13.580
writer from four of these.
46
00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:15.699
So that was my point is that she is, uh,
47
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:20.300
now in charge to be the showrunner at the second
48
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:26.289
attempt to reboot, uh, Stargate at Amazon. Now Stargate is a,
49
00:02:26.810 --> 00:02:28.439
if you guys don't know, it was a, it was
50
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.620
a Showtime franchise that went to Syfy after the original
51
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.819
movie from the, um, it was a basically a sequel
52
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:37.879
to the original movie starring, um, well, speaking of this,
53
00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:42.780
it had, um, Kurt Russell and, uh, Ultron. I can't
54
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:43.159
think of his name.
55
00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:43.699
James Spader.
56
00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:49.949
James Spader as the main character. So, um, it, The
57
00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:54.139
first two series, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, set a
58
00:02:54.379 --> 00:02:58.219
perfect tone for those sci-fi shows. It had humor. It
59
00:02:58.259 --> 00:03:04.120
had action. It had sci-fi elements. It gave us Jason Momoa.
60
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.069
That was the first day. He's pretty much the only one.
61
00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:09.169
I'd be a knock against it, but whatever.
62
00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:13.129
The first series had Richard Dean Anderson as the linchpin.
63
00:03:13.150 --> 00:03:17.610
That was MacGyver. It was Canadian stuff, or Canadian actors
64
00:03:17.669 --> 00:03:21.389
and producers. And it had the, then they had a
65
00:03:21.509 --> 00:03:26.030
third series called Stargate Universe, which was made after and
66
00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:29.849
during the time of Battlestar Galactica. So they decided to
67
00:03:29.909 --> 00:03:32.169
change the tone of it and make it more serious.
68
00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:35.210
Remember how like the superhero movies were one way and
69
00:03:35.250 --> 00:03:38.900
then Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy wanted to make him dark
70
00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:40.879
and edgy. And it was sort of like that was
71
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.780
a tone. And then Iron Man just said, yeah, give
72
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.819
you the big middle finger saying we're going back to
73
00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:47.879
what it was. And it's that whole Dark Knight side
74
00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:51.780
of it has sort of gone by the wayside. That's
75
00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:54.400
what happened to Stargate, is they tried to make it
76
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.430
more Battlestar Galactica, and it fell flat. It lost everything
77
00:03:58.469 --> 00:04:00.780
that made it what it was, and they tried to
78
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.229
make it feel like Battlestar, and it was just like,
79
00:04:04.250 --> 00:04:10.189
this doesn't work. So, hopefully, the tone of those shows
80
00:04:10.289 --> 00:04:14.969
and writing is right up the same alley as this
81
00:04:15.009 --> 00:04:16.870
trilogy of, I mean, we don't know anything, although I've
82
00:04:16.889 --> 00:04:20.339
been reading a lot of the good quick synopses of
83
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.509
people that have seen the show already, Vision Quest, and
84
00:04:22.569 --> 00:04:24.389
are like, it's the perfect way to end this thing.
85
00:04:24.730 --> 00:04:26.230
Getting rave reviews, of course.
86
00:04:26.629 --> 00:04:31.649
Yeah, but I think that she can grab that tone
87
00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:36.279
and mixture of characters, which we know that we can,
88
00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:38.959
you know, Agatha Harkness came out of nowhere, and she
89
00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:43.420
was like a D-level character in, maybe C-level, comic book character,
90
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.470
and made it into a household name. They had a
91
00:04:46.509 --> 00:04:50.889
top 40 song. because of the little diddy that they had.
92
00:04:51.629 --> 00:04:54.149
So as long as you can write and get all that,
93
00:04:54.949 --> 00:04:58.379
the characters right. And the blend, like the mixture of
94
00:04:58.449 --> 00:05:00.750
humor and make it still serious, but you also have
95
00:05:00.810 --> 00:05:03.740
to have, you know, you can't everything be at the
96
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.459
end of the day where you go like, wow, that
97
00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:08.620
was great. But it's so heavy that it just, it,
98
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.199
it does the seriousness of it, of it is just
99
00:05:13.740 --> 00:05:14.839
crashes down on itself.
100
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:17.079
So yeah. And like I said to you, I am
101
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.120
sad that she was supposed to be the showrunner for
102
00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:24.100
Fourth Wing at Amazon, and she left, and obviously she
103
00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:26.790
left to do this. And I just would really love
104
00:05:26.850 --> 00:05:28.670
to see her at the helm of that show, but
105
00:05:28.750 --> 00:05:31.509
that's okay. I think it'll be fine. Michael B. Jordan
106
00:05:31.589 --> 00:05:34.089
is producing it, so it'll probably be good.
107
00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:37.060
The Fourth Wing? I saw a thing.
108
00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:40.839
I told Liz to read those a long time ago.
109
00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:43.779
I think I got one of the books I got
110
00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:47.459
for free. It's sitting in my Audible library. Whichever book
111
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:48.699
was released a year ago.
112
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.459
Onyx Storm.
113
00:05:52.850 --> 00:05:55.730
I did read something recently. I forgot what movie we
114
00:05:55.769 --> 00:05:58.589
went and saw. Maybe it was Spider. Maybe it was Spider-Man.
115
00:05:58.689 --> 00:06:00.629
This movie sort of has a very tone of Black Panther.
116
00:06:06.930 --> 00:06:08.990
And it's based on books.
117
00:06:09.949 --> 00:06:11.860
Oh, is it The Children of Bone and Blood?
118
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:13.680
Yes. Where the writer of it's like.
119
00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:16.480
And the writer is like, has nothing to do with it.
120
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:20.240
This is the name. It's like, it's that, I know,
121
00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:23.100
the in-name only. She's like, whoever did.
122
00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:25.709
It is completely butchered. She hates something about it, yeah.
123
00:06:25.949 --> 00:06:27.769
So they basically wheel the timed thing, so.
124
00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:31.680
Yeah. I, I don't, I haven't read children of blood
125
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.399
and bone, but yeah, that's, that movie is going to
126
00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:37.379
be overshadowed with that narrative. Like it already is.
127
00:06:37.870 --> 00:06:40.990
Right. And that was like, she didn't even like go
128
00:06:41.110 --> 00:06:43.430
out and do it on her. They asked her the question.
129
00:06:43.529 --> 00:06:44.829
And so she's like, if you really want to know,
130
00:06:44.889 --> 00:06:46.910
here it is. Like she didn't want to promote herself
131
00:06:46.990 --> 00:06:48.589
for it, but they're sort of like, Hey, what's going
132
00:06:48.670 --> 00:06:51.689
on with it? No idea. Just sort of like they
133
00:06:51.709 --> 00:06:54.100
took the IP and went, you know?
134
00:06:54.569 --> 00:06:54.750
Yeah.
135
00:06:55.230 --> 00:06:57.110
Took it and did what they wanted. Was it a
136
00:06:57.129 --> 00:06:59.329
Disney produced thing or is that one that was Disney
137
00:06:59.589 --> 00:07:00.759
and then they lost it?
138
00:07:00.790 --> 00:07:06.629
I just saw something about New York Comic Con with
139
00:07:06.649 --> 00:07:09.089
that too. Because they already.
140
00:07:08.970 --> 00:07:11.120
Have a trailer out. Because I saw it and I go, wow,
141
00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:13.100
this very much looks like Black Panther.
142
00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:18.639
Yes. Go away, ad thing. I'm trying to read this article.
143
00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:19.420
Hey!
144
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:19.509
Hey!
145
00:07:21.930 --> 00:07:24.769
Was this the thing? Okay, so who is... Okay, and
146
00:07:24.889 --> 00:07:28.639
I'm going to lose....
147
00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:31.730
She was supposed to have a Comic-Con panel where she
148
00:07:31.769 --> 00:07:36.009
was going to promote another book, but she canceled it.
149
00:07:36.649 --> 00:07:39.170
Paramount is the one adopting.
150
00:07:39.870 --> 00:07:42.769
Children of Blood and Bone. Because there was a... Okay,
151
00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:45.120
this is the one that I'm thinking of. When it
152
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:54.089
was in Disney Plus' hands, Rick... I always butcher his name. Famuia?
153
00:07:54.230 --> 00:07:56.089
Famuia. Famuia.
154
00:07:56.129 --> 00:07:59.860
Famuia, whatever, was set as a showrunner and director of
155
00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:06.540
it in 2019. And then in March 2019, Walt Disney
156
00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:11.930
Company acquired Fox, blah, blah, blah. Went to Lucasfilm, wanting
157
00:08:11.949 --> 00:08:15.170
to focus on intellectual properties. Lucasfilm quietly put the project
158
00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:17.990
in the turnaround and eventually allowed the film rights to lapse.
159
00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:20.620
In 23, it was announced at Paramount Pictures. So this
160
00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:23.709
is the one that Rick Pamuia was supposed to be
161
00:08:23.750 --> 00:08:24.370
in charge of.
162
00:08:25.089 --> 00:08:27.370
Pamuia. It's not that hard.
163
00:08:27.870 --> 00:08:31.189
Well, no, his name is spelled F-M-A-U-I.
164
00:08:31.569 --> 00:08:31.930
I know.
165
00:08:32.509 --> 00:08:35.269
But it's Wea, not Yeewa.
166
00:08:35.309 --> 00:08:37.789
When I hear people pronounce it, that's how I hear
167
00:08:37.809 --> 00:08:38.929
them pronounce it. Pamuia.
168
00:08:39.649 --> 00:08:39.840
Okay.
169
00:08:42.769 --> 00:08:44.110
Okay. Yeah.
170
00:08:44.129 --> 00:08:47.639
So that was that. So anyways, this was one of the,
171
00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:50.279
there wasn't a lot that really came out of New
172
00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:51.419
York comic con this year.
173
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:57.179
Well, that's okay because a lot of big stuff has
174
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.769
already been announced and happening.
175
00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:01.309
And obviously you weren't going.
176
00:09:01.230 --> 00:09:03.789
To get everybody's kind of like playing it close now.
177
00:09:04.389 --> 00:09:06.990
Right. We weren't going to get anything from Lucasfilm, although
178
00:09:07.009 --> 00:09:10.830
we got a couple of book things that, Yeah, the third.
179
00:09:10.950 --> 00:09:13.039
I've got it pulled up here. The third book in
180
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.299
the Reign of the Empire series is going to be
181
00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:18.840
called From the Ashes. I have that second one in Audible.
182
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.529
I just haven't started listening to it yet because I
183
00:09:20.549 --> 00:09:24.429
keep getting like library holds that are coming up. I'll
184
00:09:24.470 --> 00:09:28.049
get to it. Claudia Gray, Queen Claudia of Star Wars
185
00:09:28.110 --> 00:09:32.629
book renown, is doing a YA Leia novel called Star
186
00:09:32.649 --> 00:09:34.970
Wars Princess of the Rebellion. We've had a lot of
187
00:09:35.029 --> 00:09:38.139
Leia novels lately. I liked most of them. Of course,
188
00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:40.159
I didn't like the one they just did, but I
189
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.639
must say the cover art on that book is beautiful.
190
00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:49.440
Are you talking about Legacy? Yeah. I finished Legacy. And honestly, okay,
191
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.629
so I'm listening to the audio book and they're dealing
192
00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:55.879
with some stuff with Kylo Ren. And I look and
193
00:09:55.889 --> 00:09:57.919
I go, there's like 13 minutes left in this book.
194
00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:00.580
And I go, did I not have $ 1? downloaded? And
195
00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:03.059
then the book just ends. Like, what was the, literally
196
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.720
I go, was this, I remember something about them trying
197
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:11.590
to fix, go to Titan to fix Luke's lightsaber. It's
198
00:10:11.629 --> 00:10:15.509
like non-existent. Yeah, but then there's this existential crisis where
199
00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:20.110
Rey almost drowns and then dies of frostbite. There's this
200
00:10:20.149 --> 00:10:22.909
annoying kid who is the bad guy that isn't the
201
00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:25.659
bad guy. Anyways, I got done with it going, this
202
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.539
honestly might be the most pointless Star Wars novel I've
203
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.679
ever read. I've read some bad ones, but at least
204
00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:32.259
it had a point.
205
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.639
It could have been really cool. I thought that it
206
00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:36.759
was going to be cool based on the premise, and
207
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.279
then it just wasn't. It was so boring and repetitive.
208
00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:41.730
I'm sorry. if you like star Wars, like I say,
209
00:10:41.750 --> 00:10:42.149
good for you.
210
00:10:42.769 --> 00:10:43.230
Yeah.
211
00:10:44.070 --> 00:10:47.690
Um, there's some manga coming out, manga, however you say that.
212
00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:48.169
Yeah.
213
00:10:48.210 --> 00:10:50.320
There's a bunch of, since next year is 50 years
214
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.759
of the, uh, new hope. There's a lot of like
215
00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:56.500
that kind of thing, a celebration of blah, blah, blah.
216
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.399
Oh, they announced a novelization of star fighter coming out
217
00:10:59.419 --> 00:10:59.879
in June.
218
00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:03.679
Delilah S Dawson is writing it. I do like her. She's,
219
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.669
she's more consistent for me than not. And then they're
220
00:11:07.690 --> 00:11:11.320
going to do a visual dictionary. You sent me this,
221
00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:15.600
which I had seen for comics, Ahsoka Escape from Thrawn,
222
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.940
which is not going to be just a retelling like
223
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.220
some of these comics have been of the show.
224
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.870
No, that's going to be, Filoni wrote it, and it's
225
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.110
going to be Ezra, how he survived that whole time
226
00:11:26.190 --> 00:11:28.730
on Peridia, waiting for them to get, you know, so
227
00:11:28.809 --> 00:11:29.610
it's actually kind of like.
228
00:11:29.909 --> 00:11:32.879
This is cool. So that's going to be cool. Um, no,
229
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:34.620
that was, that was about it. Those are the highlights.
230
00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:37.100
There was a, maybe we'll have to cover it too,
231
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.399
because we haven't talked about it yet, but Kevin Smith
232
00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:42.480
is writing a five or six part, uh, comic book
233
00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:45.940
for Marvel in it, where one of, it seems like
234
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.120
one of Dr. Strangers or a spell goes wrong. And
235
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.789
the characters from star Wars go to the six one,
236
00:11:53.830 --> 00:11:54.610
six comic universe.
237
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:56.120
Oh, I have seen that.
238
00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:58.070
Because there's that picture where you've got Darth Vader and
239
00:11:58.110 --> 00:12:00.590
he's got his arm up and he's wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.
240
00:12:00.629 --> 00:12:02.309
And it is MCU.
241
00:12:02.610 --> 00:12:03.370
That goes hard.
242
00:12:04.509 --> 00:12:05.309
It's not like.
243
00:12:05.470 --> 00:12:06.129
That's pretty cool.
244
00:12:06.429 --> 00:12:08.090
Because you have to sit there and think like if
245
00:12:08.149 --> 00:12:10.490
the characters come over and here's Mace Windu, everyone's going
246
00:12:10.509 --> 00:12:14.870
to be like, you're Nick Fury. What's going on here?
247
00:12:15.169 --> 00:12:15.409
Yeah.
248
00:12:15.490 --> 00:12:18.250
Especially because they have to know. That's the one kind
249
00:12:18.289 --> 00:12:20.879
of thing that irks me sometimes. We know that Star Wars,
250
00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:24.279
that whole thing exists in the MCU because of Spider-Man.
251
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.860
There's been two movies where they mentioned there's a Death
252
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.590
Star Lego thing. But yet they're dealing with these guys
253
00:12:32.009 --> 00:12:36.370
who are in Star Wars, in the movies, and they're
254
00:12:36.470 --> 00:12:40.230
in the MCU too as actors. You know what I'm saying? Right.
255
00:12:40.269 --> 00:12:43.220
But is that comic series going to be canon?
256
00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:46.659
No, but I'm saying is like if Tom Holland sees
257
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.289
Nick Fury and goes, wow, you look just like Mace Windu,
258
00:12:52.389 --> 00:12:54.889
Samuel L. Jackson from the Star Wars movies.
259
00:12:55.110 --> 00:12:55.990
Oh, I see what you mean.
260
00:12:56.269 --> 00:12:59.789
See what I'm saying? It's just a weird little.
261
00:13:00.009 --> 00:13:00.669
That's funny.
262
00:13:01.250 --> 00:13:03.629
I have started, after I did finish Legacy, I started
263
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.700
reading that Low Red Moon, which is the Star Wars Outlaws.
264
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.779
It's also a little too long, but I liked it.
265
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.850
The thing is, though, the characters, the two main characters,
266
00:13:17.610 --> 00:13:24.539
so Jaden and Slyro... we know like right away in,
267
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.720
cause the book takes place way before the game. I
268
00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:29.960
started replaying the game and I get, I literally started
269
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.980
the game and cause the Jaden and Slyro don't really
270
00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:38.019
come into the game till halfway through. And so the
271
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.720
commando droid and Jaden and Slyro are all there. So
272
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.139
now I'm listening to this book going, okay, they're going
273
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.259
to find out that this happens because I know already,
274
00:13:47.299 --> 00:13:50.519
I had this pre-knowledge listening to the book, which actually
275
00:13:50.539 --> 00:13:52.710
kind of was like, Because half the book, or most
276
00:13:52.730 --> 00:13:55.009
of the book, is Jaden trying to find out what
277
00:13:55.049 --> 00:13:59.250
happened to his half-brother. Not realizing that it is what
278
00:13:59.309 --> 00:14:01.879
it is. But we know that already if you're playing
279
00:14:01.899 --> 00:14:04.000
the game. So it's sort of like a prequel type thing.
280
00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:06.360
But it's actually a lot... I mean, it's interesting. You
281
00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:09.419
don't know any of these characters in this book at all.
282
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.950
There's a couple of references they have to things that
283
00:14:12.990 --> 00:14:15.230
are going on. Because it takes place right at the
284
00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:18.809
end of the Clone Wars. And then it jumps like
285
00:14:18.870 --> 00:14:19.669
nine years ahead.
286
00:14:19.690 --> 00:14:21.720
So... it's right.
287
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.059
You know that what they're doing and who's, who's like
288
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.470
the power players in there. But with it being whole cloth,
289
00:14:27.509 --> 00:14:30.490
you care about a lot of these characters, like the droid,
290
00:14:31.029 --> 00:14:33.730
who is a commando droid as reprogrammed and sort of like, wow,
291
00:14:34.029 --> 00:14:37.399
he has some aspects that are very interesting and it
292
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:44.830
makes it where you want. Anyways, okay, that was Cora
293
00:14:44.950 --> 00:14:47.570
for your listeners out there going, I don't know what
294
00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:48.090
that was.
295
00:14:48.929 --> 00:14:53.940
I don't know what she's upset about. Life, probably.
296
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.440
Someone was knocking on the door maybe or something. I
297
00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:56.759
don't know.
298
00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:59.870
I don't know. No, I don't know. She's just a disaster,
299
00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:00.649
but I love her.
300
00:15:02.690 --> 00:15:04.309
She's going crazy upstairs.
301
00:15:04.330 --> 00:15:09.629
She's like going absolutely nuts.
302
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.600
If you hear residual background noise while we're talking about
303
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.639
this comic series, it's just Cora being Cora.
304
00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:17.820
It's just Cora.
305
00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:23.000
Don't write us asking us if we're all okay. Everything's fine.
306
00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:24.919
If you ask Cora, she would probably say she's not.
307
00:15:25.259 --> 00:15:27.480
How are you? She would probably say she's not okay,
308
00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:27.789
but she is.
309
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:34.190
So, All right, we're going back almost 25 years here.
310
00:15:34.190 --> 00:15:34.870
24 years.
311
00:15:34.889 --> 00:15:40.059
I know! But you know what? This held up pretty
312
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.740
well for an early aughts comic.
313
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:45.360
Yeah, because it pretty much has, I mean, there is
314
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.870
still what they like calling the fan service when it
315
00:15:48.889 --> 00:15:51.590
comes to a lot of the drawing. I mean, one
316
00:15:51.629 --> 00:15:53.750
of the main characters in here where she literally is
317
00:15:53.809 --> 00:15:58.149
wearing a, a button-down, half-button-down shirt, which is.
318
00:15:58.210 --> 00:15:59.909
Well, we have to show midriffs.
319
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:05.840
Yeah, midriffs and just buxom and going like, okay, that's whatever.
320
00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:07.480
You like boobs?
321
00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:08.200
Yeah.
322
00:16:08.659 --> 00:16:11.500
Teenage boys are the guys that are reading this. But anyways,
323
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.279
Avengers icon, The Vision. If you guys don't know who
324
00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:21.269
The Vision is, or Vision, or whatever, this is a
325
00:16:21.370 --> 00:16:25.740
different take on it. than one that we're normally used to.
326
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.500
Which makes sense.
327
00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:30.779
Because Jeff Johns wrote it, and he writes some interesting
328
00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:31.379
stuff sometimes.
329
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.320
Right. Yeah, so he is the writer. And the first
330
00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:36.700
issue of this, of this four-issue limited series, came out
331
00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:41.580
in August of 2002. And Ivan Rees, Joe Pimentel, and
332
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.799
Chris Sotomayor is the... I'm so glad I know how
333
00:16:44.820 --> 00:16:46.320
to pronounce his name, because it looks at it and
334
00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:48.320
goes Sotomayor. But it's Sotomayor.
335
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.419
Sotomayor, yeah.
336
00:16:49.659 --> 00:16:53.940
Sotomayor. That's how H & M always... Sotomayor. pronounced it
337
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.240
when i was listening to i didn't realize like most
338
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.120
of those marvel shows because you're saying like the new
339
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:01.610
york marvel office is gone so like we talked about
340
00:17:01.649 --> 00:17:03.370
that i know but a lot of the shows that
341
00:17:03.429 --> 00:17:05.490
came out of there and stuff are just not existing
342
00:17:05.529 --> 00:17:08.329
anymore because they were based in new york yeah maybe
343
00:17:08.349 --> 00:17:10.470
they're just worried that they've got they got the hell
344
00:17:10.509 --> 00:17:12.349
out of new york because that's where all the damage
345
00:17:12.390 --> 00:17:16.609
and destruction happens.
346
00:17:14.990 --> 00:17:17.819
I mean they've got iman valani and that guy from
347
00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:22.759
the basement yard podcast doing the countdown to doomsday yeah.
348
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.819
So issue one is called Yesterday and Today, and it
349
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.700
starts in Queens, New York.
350
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:29.680
Yesterday and Tomorrow.
351
00:17:30.809 --> 00:17:31.200
That's right.
352
00:17:31.269 --> 00:17:31.509
Okay.
353
00:17:31.589 --> 00:17:33.930
I even wrote Tomorrow, but I'm so used to saying
354
00:17:33.950 --> 00:17:39.970
Yesterday and Today. Yesterday and Tomorrow. Queens, New York, August 31st, 1939.
355
00:17:39.970 --> 00:17:43.569
I'm assuming this is the New York World's Fair or
356
00:17:43.609 --> 00:17:45.930
some World's Fair or some expo or something that they
357
00:17:45.970 --> 00:17:48.809
used to have before we had better ways to communicate
358
00:17:48.849 --> 00:17:49.269
with people.
359
00:17:49.289 --> 00:17:52.829
They even call it the one that Tony uses in
360
00:17:52.930 --> 00:17:54.019
Iron Man 2.
361
00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.279
Okay.
362
00:17:54.380 --> 00:17:57.640
Not the Stark Expo. They call it the world. Yes, something.
363
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:58.259
I don't know.
364
00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:00.839
I need to get my mic a little bit better here.
365
00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:06.950
So there is Professor Phineas T. Horton, who is going
366
00:18:06.970 --> 00:18:10.329
to do his little spiel called The Vision of Tomorrow.
367
00:18:11.410 --> 00:18:15.789
And it is this robot that is sentient. And everyone's like,
368
00:18:15.849 --> 00:18:17.490
how do you get to make it walk? How do
369
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.160
you get to do this? And it's like, he's got
370
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.319
a solar gem I made on his forehead, like the
371
00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:24.230
Mind Stone. And then it catches fire and everyone leaves.
372
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:26.940
And they're just like, yeah, whatever.
373
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:27.440
Hack.
374
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.480
But then all of a sudden, Vision starts speaking. And
375
00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:34.920
he goes, wait, how are you speaking? And one of
376
00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:37.329
the reporters comes back and is talking to him. And
377
00:18:37.470 --> 00:18:41.029
he steals a gem. And he's pretty much like, Auf Wiedersehen.
378
00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:42.769
He's a Nazi.
379
00:18:43.269 --> 00:18:43.950
World War II.
380
00:18:44.230 --> 00:18:47.829
Yeah, he's a Nazi. And he goes, go get him.
381
00:18:47.930 --> 00:18:50.069
But he's inoperative now because he doesn't have the stone.
382
00:18:50.130 --> 00:18:52.390
But he was just, you know, he was talking to him.
383
00:18:52.410 --> 00:18:54.579
So it was like, this is weird. So we go
384
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:59.819
to modern day Queens, 2002. And there's some kind of
385
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.579
energy crisis going on because they're worried about electricity and
386
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.130
blackouts and this and that. And this kid, Derek Hoffman,
387
00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:08.829
is IMing somebody about conspiracy theories.
388
00:19:08.910 --> 00:19:12.079
It was very nostalgic, I must say.
389
00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:16.440
It was cool. The way that they focused in the
390
00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:22.289
IM from AOL. That whole type thing. I thought it
391
00:19:22.329 --> 00:19:25.690
was cool where they mentioned, that gremlin from the episode
392
00:19:25.750 --> 00:19:28.650
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet at Twilight Zone was an actual thing.
393
00:19:29.730 --> 00:19:31.269
And they're like, okay, whatever, dude.
394
00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:31.750
So, yeah.
395
00:19:32.589 --> 00:19:36.529
There's problems with blackouts. And so his dad, Derek's dad,
396
00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:39.259
who comes in and he kind of seems at first,
397
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:43.819
I make him seem like he's the typical single dad, drunk,
398
00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:49.880
yelling at his kid. But no, it's Steve Hoffman, and
399
00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:53.779
he is an Air Force pilot. And so Derek is
400
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.180
an Air Force brat, and he keeps moving him around.
401
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.400
And of course, he doesn't like it. And they're talking
402
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:04.490
about how his grandpa was in World War II and
403
00:20:04.509 --> 00:20:08.150
that his plane went down and he died. because of
404
00:20:08.210 --> 00:20:13.470
these gremlins. Gremlins is a very central word.
405
00:20:13.490 --> 00:20:15.059
Gremlins with a capital G.
406
00:20:16.190 --> 00:20:20.559
So, later on, they're sleeping, and all of a sudden,
407
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:28.259
Vision comes onto the kid's computer, and he's like, yesterday
408
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.640
is tomorrow. And the kid's like, what's going on here?
409
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.019
He looks, his thing is unplugged, his computer is unplugged,
410
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.990
and So, one of the things the guy who was
411
00:20:40.109 --> 00:20:42.750
IMing Derek said is, like, go outside, because I guess
412
00:20:42.769 --> 00:20:44.670
they're on the army base or close to, like, there's
413
00:20:44.710 --> 00:20:47.220
restricted areas on the army base. It's haunted.
414
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:47.880
Yeah.
415
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.259
And so, he gets.
416
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:52.259
I think they're just in Queens, but.
417
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:54.500
Maybe he's.
418
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.759
Yeah, there's, like, there's an area that's, like, all fenced
419
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.220
off and.
420
00:20:58.900 --> 00:21:01.079
Right, which I'm assuming if he's moving around, they're living
421
00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:04.920
on a base or close to him. Army bases are
422
00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:05.579
very pertinent.
423
00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:07.819
I didn't get that from it, but yeah, I know
424
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:08.119
what you mean.
425
00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:11.509
There's a close area that's cordoned off, and he gets chased,
426
00:21:11.910 --> 00:21:16.450
and this guy comes to smash his camera, and it's
427
00:21:16.490 --> 00:21:19.450
the vision of tomorrow. Now, this is creepy vision. I
428
00:21:19.490 --> 00:21:24.819
call it skele-vision. Mm-hmm. because he looks like, imagine comic vision,
429
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:27.500
green and yellow, but you could see like the skull
430
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.759
and like Ultron almost part of his, because the vision
431
00:21:31.019 --> 00:21:31.680
of tomorrow.
432
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.359
Not exoskeleton, his Inno skeleton.
433
00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:38.619
Yeah. It sort of looked like, like Ultron a bit
434
00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:40.180
like comics version of Ultron.
435
00:21:40.380 --> 00:21:40.740
Yeah.
436
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:42.490
Also human skull.
437
00:21:43.329 --> 00:21:45.109
The one we see at the fair is like all
438
00:21:45.190 --> 00:21:48.170
silver metal. He doesn't have the red and green. So
439
00:21:48.210 --> 00:21:52.250
he's like, developed the red and green throughout, you know,
440
00:21:52.289 --> 00:21:55.710
being quote alive all of this time, apparently, but it
441
00:21:55.750 --> 00:21:56.829
doesn't always stay.
442
00:21:57.630 --> 00:22:01.069
No, it's he, it's, that's kind of, cause sometimes, and especially,
443
00:22:01.089 --> 00:22:04.490
you know, it's weird to say when vision gets bad,
444
00:22:05.150 --> 00:22:08.210
his like skill of vision purse personality comes out too.
445
00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:11.230
So that was the end of issue one, issue two,
446
00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:14.779
I have the beholder. It starts off with back in time. Again,
447
00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:19.289
Phineas is lamenting that he never was famous. He's like,
448
00:22:19.410 --> 00:22:23.150
I never got to be as big as Stark and blah, blah, blah. Like, okay.
449
00:22:24.529 --> 00:22:28.190
Go back to the present. Derek and Vision are chatting.
450
00:22:28.230 --> 00:22:35.420
He fixes his camera. Baraculously, Vision does. Yeah. He's a synthezoid.
451
00:22:36.339 --> 00:22:40.920
And they just happen to be at Phineas's grave where
452
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.440
he died. Or not where he died, but he died.
453
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.980
Or he's buried. Yeah, Vision did not realize. And we
454
00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:49.640
have no reason to know why Vision just showed up
455
00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:55.099
now anywhere. But there is a note on, like there's
456
00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:59.029
flowers and stuff on the grave. And it's like, thank
457
00:22:59.069 --> 00:23:03.369
you for securing my future, Grandpa. And it's from this person, Victoria.
458
00:23:04.329 --> 00:23:09.329
So this helicopter starts shooting at them for some apparent reason.
459
00:23:10.450 --> 00:23:12.230
I didn't know where you hear the thump, thump, thump
460
00:23:12.289 --> 00:23:18.289
in this. And so they are running and there's explosions
461
00:23:18.329 --> 00:23:20.869
going on and the cops show up and they're calling
462
00:23:20.910 --> 00:23:23.579
in the fire department and this net and vision and
463
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:27.079
Derek's Derek escape, but they need to have a car
464
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.539
that has no GPS on it. So they, It doesn't
465
00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:31.220
get controlled.
466
00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:34.339
I love, because this is 2002, he was like, this
467
00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:38.039
has the GPS guidance system. It's from a satellite. It
468
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.279
can find us because that was so new back then.
469
00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:41.869
Yeah, I know.
470
00:23:42.309 --> 00:23:45.210
It was like, we thought we were in the space age.
471
00:23:46.509 --> 00:23:50.130
It was very funny. I literally know now. So they
472
00:23:50.230 --> 00:23:54.289
end up grabbing Derek's dad's car. Like, they steal Derek's
473
00:23:54.309 --> 00:23:56.170
dad's car. And he sees them and he's like, get
474
00:23:56.309 --> 00:23:57.470
back here with my car.
475
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.099
He's like, Derek, no!
476
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.349
Vision then tells Derek that he's like, I need to
477
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.069
find the one person that can help me and do
478
00:24:07.150 --> 00:24:11.990
so without any technology to find them. So there is
479
00:24:12.930 --> 00:24:18.490
something that is tracking them through CCTV and they're connected
480
00:24:18.529 --> 00:24:21.069
somewhat to Vision. It's got tentacles and stuff and it's
481
00:24:21.170 --> 00:24:23.250
at this airport control room and then all of a
482
00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:25.680
sudden it disappears but his eyes are glowing underneath the desk.
483
00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:28.420
So you start like... Ooh, maybe just keep talking about
484
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.349
these gremlins and everything. So they drive this car, the
485
00:24:32.430 --> 00:24:36.569
dead stolen car, to Vision's birthplace, which is Phineas' old
486
00:24:37.329 --> 00:24:41.130
house lab slash everything. And he said he was betrayed
487
00:24:41.170 --> 00:24:44.500
by technology way too many times in the past. So
488
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.460
he has everything written down, hard copies, this and that, which,
489
00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:50.140
by the way, if it was taking place in the
490
00:24:50.420 --> 00:24:52.740
40s and 50s, that's the way it would have been
491
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:54.960
anyway because he didn't have computers and everything. So.
492
00:24:56.339 --> 00:24:59.599
Well, but he would have been alive when computers were invented.
493
00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:03.700
Well, you never know. That gap between when Phineas was
494
00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:06.349
alive and when Phineas died and Vision came back, that's
495
00:25:06.380 --> 00:25:08.730
a whole big, like, you don't know. That's not a
496
00:25:08.769 --> 00:25:09.990
portion of the story.
497
00:25:10.109 --> 00:25:13.970
Oh, I see what you're saying. He's just, yeah, I
498
00:25:14.009 --> 00:25:14.269
got you.
499
00:25:14.430 --> 00:25:17.609
He basically is going there because he has to, you know,
500
00:25:18.210 --> 00:25:21.869
figure out who the person is that could help him.
501
00:25:22.450 --> 00:25:25.609
So he does his phase, like, they're trying to get
502
00:25:25.670 --> 00:25:28.329
through They get in and everything's locked and Vincent just
503
00:25:28.349 --> 00:25:30.519
faces through the door and Derek's like, what did you
504
00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:35.039
just do? He's like, whatever. I can't do that. We'll
505
00:25:35.059 --> 00:25:38.160
get to that later. So they find out that there's
506
00:25:38.180 --> 00:25:42.200
this person, Victoria Anderson, who's like, what is this Penn State?
507
00:25:43.049 --> 00:25:50.150
All one word. It's a college that is in Pennsylvania,
508
00:25:50.190 --> 00:25:52.170
which is a town or a state that's a couple
509
00:25:52.190 --> 00:25:55.730
of states away from us because they're in Queens. And
510
00:25:55.750 --> 00:25:59.210
then we go over to Penn State where Victoria Anderson
511
00:25:59.390 --> 00:26:02.619
is not a great student. She is a party girl,
512
00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:03.099
pretty much.
513
00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:05.079
And, you know.
514
00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:07.700
Just a typical, like, I got money to go to college.
515
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.420
I'm going to go and have fun. And they're talking about,
516
00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:15.730
it's keg stand Tuesday. It's like, okay. So back in
517
00:26:15.769 --> 00:26:18.210
New York, we're in LaGuardia Airport. And there is a
518
00:26:18.309 --> 00:26:22.869
plane that is taking off to go to Penn, like
519
00:26:23.109 --> 00:26:27.730
the airport that's by Penn State. And the gremlin just
520
00:26:27.849 --> 00:26:30.150
pops in and takes over the pilot. And he's like,
521
00:26:30.190 --> 00:26:34.670
take me to the granddaughter. The world is gremlin. And
522
00:26:34.950 --> 00:26:39.559
that's the end of that issue. Issue three, the penultimate
523
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:42.259
issue in this run, is called Father of the Machine.
524
00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:46.039
This is where it gets confusing because there's so many
525
00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:50.180
different people involved here. But the gremlin crashes the plane.
526
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.259
And... Yes.
527
00:26:53.720 --> 00:27:00.160
They're in LaGuardia still, or cause there's multiple gremlins that
528
00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:01.940
we find out later. That's the only thing I went
529
00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:04.089
back and it's like, okay, there's multiple gremlins. So the
530
00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:06.289
one that crashed might've been a different one, but anyways,
531
00:27:07.210 --> 00:27:09.930
Derek and vision are like, we're going to drive. And
532
00:27:10.349 --> 00:27:13.190
from Queens, I did, I actually Googled this from Queens
533
00:27:13.269 --> 00:27:16.519
to Penn state is about 250 miles. So it's like
534
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.160
a four and a half, five hour drive. So, um,
535
00:27:19.750 --> 00:27:21.730
There happens to be, must have left early enough because
536
00:27:21.750 --> 00:27:25.309
there is a party going on and Victoria is at
537
00:27:25.329 --> 00:27:27.269
this party and she gets hit on by this guy
538
00:27:27.289 --> 00:27:28.690
and she's like, oh, leave me alone. So she runs
539
00:27:28.710 --> 00:27:32.859
back up to her room. She's got a necklace, which
540
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:35.640
there's this little gem on it that she got from
541
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.359
her grandpa. Like, oh, I wonder what that is. And
542
00:27:38.420 --> 00:27:41.740
she goes in the bathroom. Oh yeah. It's kind of yellowish.
543
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:44.420
Looks like a solar gem maybe. So she goes into
544
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.539
the bathroom to try to like, you know, wipe the
545
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.339
creep out of her mind. When, through the mirror, Skelevision
546
00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:55.960
just shows up through it. Like, this is not something that's.
547
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.039
Right out of a horror movie.
548
00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:59.400
Yeah. Like, if it was me, I would have been like,
549
00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:00.789
holy Jesus.
550
00:28:00.809 --> 00:28:02.109
I think she wasn't on the toilet.
551
00:28:02.829 --> 00:28:08.309
I know. So, he basically just comes out and it
552
00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:10.769
was like, my memory cells are damaged. My nanite nerve
553
00:28:10.809 --> 00:28:13.130
mesh is scrambled. Can you please fix it? And she goes,
554
00:28:13.369 --> 00:28:15.109
it's funny because there's like two or three panels of
555
00:28:15.150 --> 00:28:19.630
her just with the same look on her face. Like, what? What?
556
00:28:19.930 --> 00:28:23.339
She's just confused. Yeah, she's so confused.
557
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:24.799
She's like, I don't think so.
558
00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:29.319
So, back to Queens, and the Air Force is taking
559
00:28:29.420 --> 00:28:34.460
Derek's dad, who is Steve, to Penn State because through
560
00:28:34.539 --> 00:28:37.779
satellite and other stuff, they tracked his car. Even though
561
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:39.509
it has no tracker on it, they can still track
562
00:28:39.549 --> 00:28:42.029
it through CC, whatever it was. The old-fashioned way of
563
00:28:42.049 --> 00:28:47.339
tracking a car, they tracked it to Penn State, which... Ironically,
564
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:51.039
or just matter of convenience, they show the sign that's like,
565
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:54.059
here's the entrance to Penn State. Oh, one mile away.
566
00:28:54.079 --> 00:29:01.089
Air Force Base. It's really close. Cool. Matter of convenience.
567
00:29:03.609 --> 00:29:08.609
They're getting there and another gremlin takes over the helicopter
568
00:29:09.430 --> 00:29:12.990
with the dad in it. We go back to Victoria's
569
00:29:13.029 --> 00:29:20.500
room and She and Vision are having an aggressive conversation. Yeah,
570
00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:23.539
she wants nothing to do with the situation. No, they
571
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:27.299
get close enough, and it activates Phineas to appear.
572
00:29:29.549 --> 00:29:30.289
Phineas Graham.
573
00:29:30.509 --> 00:29:33.210
Yeah, help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You are my only hope
574
00:29:33.269 --> 00:29:38.170
type thing. So it's a recording, and he explains exactly
575
00:29:38.210 --> 00:29:41.750
what happened about that Nazi agent's death. the gem and
576
00:29:41.769 --> 00:29:42.829
the Nazis created.
577
00:29:42.869 --> 00:29:45.650
And that he was like, oh, I was just trying
578
00:29:45.690 --> 00:29:48.490
to ignore it, but the Nazis made all this terrible
579
00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:51.839
stuff with it. So they actually made these gremlins.
580
00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:56.119
They made these gremlins that killed 200 pilots. And it
581
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.539
was like, so all those things they talked about how the, um,
582
00:30:00.140 --> 00:30:02.859
the allies back in World War II were getting defeated
583
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.309
by these unknown creatures. It's all based off of like
584
00:30:05.349 --> 00:30:08.430
superstitions and lore and stuff. But it ends up they
585
00:30:08.470 --> 00:30:11.430
were defeated by the heroes of the day. So whoever
586
00:30:11.490 --> 00:30:13.869
the golden age heroes back or silver age, whatever it
587
00:30:13.890 --> 00:30:16.230
was back in the 30s were there because they show
588
00:30:16.269 --> 00:30:19.210
like a picture of like human torch and whatever because
589
00:30:19.230 --> 00:30:25.940
he could fly and defeat the wrong company. They destroyed
590
00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:29.380
all of them except for the leader which was like
591
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:32.410
the You know, the main gremlin.
592
00:30:32.829 --> 00:30:34.049
The main G gremlin.
593
00:30:34.289 --> 00:30:37.240
Yeah, the capital G, not the lowercase g. And the
594
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.960
Russians took him, and they had him in Siberia for
595
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.799
X amount of years, and then he escaped.
596
00:30:41.859 --> 00:30:42.759
Like you do.
597
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:44.940
He tried to kill Phineas.
598
00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:45.900
He was there with Bucky.
599
00:30:45.940 --> 00:30:51.720
Yeah, I guess so. He escaped. He tried to kill Phineas.
600
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:54.809
Phineas survived. And he goes, he'd be like, I'm making
601
00:30:54.849 --> 00:30:56.670
this message because I know I'm not going to survive
602
00:30:56.710 --> 00:31:00.670
another attack. And the reason for this message is... is
603
00:31:00.750 --> 00:31:02.710
because it was only going to be activated when you
604
00:31:02.769 --> 00:31:05.670
two meet, is to find the leader, remove the gem,
605
00:31:05.730 --> 00:31:10.619
and destroy it. Like, okay, that pretty much was kind of,
606
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:12.579
I mean, that's kind of the point of it. I go,
607
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:17.440
that seems kind of simple. And of course, I mean, yes,
608
00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:20.259
we have to find this now. What actually got Vision
609
00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:24.519
and the leader and everything back onto the playing board now?
610
00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:28.670
We have no idea. And at that same time, that
611
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:31.319
dude that was creeping on Victoria bust back in the room.
612
00:31:31.339 --> 00:31:35.559
Cause he probably had too many keg stands and vision
613
00:31:35.579 --> 00:31:37.759
did not like it. And he goes, you humans have
614
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:42.279
no manners. And he basically is getting pissed. So he
615
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:46.569
goes down the stairs and he's like, humans go home. Like,
616
00:31:46.650 --> 00:31:47.650
what the hell is this?
617
00:31:47.829 --> 00:31:50.670
Cause he's also like, he's got daddy issues. And so
618
00:31:50.710 --> 00:31:53.250
he sees Phineas as his father, his creator, you know,
619
00:31:53.289 --> 00:31:56.079
thank the maker. And, He's like, ah, my dad. You
620
00:31:56.099 --> 00:31:59.160
got rid of my dad-o-gram. I'm so mad at you. Oh, yeah,
621
00:31:59.180 --> 00:32:00.779
because he runs out into the streets.
622
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.480
Yeah, he walked right through the hologram of Phineas. And
623
00:32:06.029 --> 00:32:10.750
Vision was not happy with that. He's like, no. And
624
00:32:10.849 --> 00:32:18.509
so they get into Vicky's car. And Derek is just like,
625
00:32:18.569 --> 00:32:22.369
she's explaining to Derek, this kid who just happens to
626
00:32:22.430 --> 00:32:25.710
show up. like that she's not very smart and that
627
00:32:25.789 --> 00:32:28.329
she only did the computer, like the, whatever the sciences
628
00:32:28.349 --> 00:32:32.789
that she is doing is because the money her grandpa
629
00:32:32.849 --> 00:32:34.769
gave her, it was like, you have to, you have
630
00:32:34.809 --> 00:32:35.309
to study this.
631
00:32:35.349 --> 00:32:36.690
You have to take these classes.
632
00:32:36.750 --> 00:32:42.019
You have to take these classes and they get to the,
633
00:32:43.019 --> 00:32:47.240
so the, the, the GPS drive is, this is where
634
00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:49.319
it's pretty much gets really not convoluted, but a lot
635
00:32:49.339 --> 00:32:52.180
of stuff happens. But the, to get to the air
636
00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:57.259
force base, The Gremlin dad, who is now flying the helicopter,
637
00:32:58.180 --> 00:33:01.079
and Vision arrives all at the base. And now he's
638
00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:04.539
just like, oh, do you feel fear, brother? Because now
639
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.519
the Gremlin and Vision are there together. And they're technically
640
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:09.900
brothers because they're both created from the same solar gem
641
00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:12.460
type thing, even though they're not created by the same person.
642
00:33:12.859 --> 00:33:16.380
And he's like, never. I don't fear anything. I should
643
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:20.789
be a Green Lantern because they don't fear anything. Yeah.
644
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:21.849
Here we go again.
645
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:26.920
Issue four. It's called Dogfight, and the gremlin tells Vision
646
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:33.380
that he is infected by humanity. And Gremdad is there.
647
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:36.359
He's basically– that's what we're calling the gremlin now because
648
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.619
he's infected Derek's dad. And he's like half human. It's
649
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.759
kind of almost like a warlock looking infection type thing.
650
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.549
And he goes, my mission is to create as much
651
00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:50.589
fear and death in the USA as possible. Because obviously
652
00:33:50.609 --> 00:33:52.609
this is all of these Nazi mandates from the 30s
653
00:33:52.690 --> 00:33:53.109
and 40s.
654
00:33:53.210 --> 00:33:55.609
Yeah, his programming is a little out of date.
655
00:33:55.869 --> 00:33:59.190
Exactly. And then after that, Vision will join me or
656
00:33:59.230 --> 00:34:04.569
will be dismantled. So Vision fights Gremlin. And he's going
657
00:34:04.630 --> 00:34:08.769
up against a bunch of controlled tanks and army military units.
658
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.559
you know, like equipment and stuff like that. And so
659
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.219
that's with vision and the gremlin while the grim dad.
660
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.090
So there's multiples now because vision is fighting the capital
661
00:34:21.130 --> 00:34:25.210
gremlin and grim dad is like one of the minor gremlins.
662
00:34:25.329 --> 00:34:28.389
And he has this, the reason I guess why he
663
00:34:28.429 --> 00:34:32.389
took the dad, what was his name again? Steve, because
664
00:34:32.429 --> 00:34:37.539
he can fly this B 52 fortress and it's got bombs.
665
00:34:38.590 --> 00:34:43.570
And they're basically going to fly it into Philadelphia and
666
00:34:43.610 --> 00:34:46.050
just crash it and explain it. Don't forget, this is
667
00:34:46.110 --> 00:34:49.409
August 2002. This was like less than a year after 9-11.
668
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:50.769
I'm going like, wow.
669
00:34:51.019 --> 00:34:52.639
It's kind of dark, Jeff.
670
00:34:53.480 --> 00:35:00.889
Like, okay. So the Vision defeats the one Gremlin for now.
671
00:35:04.309 --> 00:35:09.179
He goes back to fight the fortress or whatever. So
672
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.139
they're fighting on the fortress now. Vision shows up, rips
673
00:35:12.179 --> 00:35:16.179
the gremlin off of dad. But the bomb is fused
674
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:18.119
and they're set to go. They're going to blow up regardless.
675
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.840
And he's going to crash to be 52. And Vicky,
676
00:35:21.980 --> 00:35:25.199
of all people, whispers to Vision like, hey, let him
677
00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:28.920
assimilate you. He's like, what? He's like, let him assimilate you. Because,
678
00:35:30.019 --> 00:35:32.619
you know, just trust me. And they're like, wait, what's
679
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:35.380
going on here? And Victoria is the one that's giving
680
00:35:35.420 --> 00:35:38.440
him this reason. So he shifts and he lets him
681
00:35:38.460 --> 00:35:38.920
take him over.
682
00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:40.159
He's like, no, no.
683
00:35:40.219 --> 00:35:42.400
And so because she knows that he can shift from
684
00:35:42.460 --> 00:35:47.099
ghost to solid. And he's like, let him assimilate. Like, why?
685
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:51.280
He's like, go with a form of like quicksand, which
686
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.360
will not allow him to be solid or whatever. And
687
00:35:53.429 --> 00:35:56.869
in the same time. Right. Vision's immune system. What the
688
00:35:56.889 --> 00:35:59.150
hell is he having an immune system? He is a non.
689
00:35:59.170 --> 00:36:00.110
Because he's a smithozoid.
690
00:36:00.809 --> 00:36:02.210
Okay, so it's sort of just like, does he get
691
00:36:02.230 --> 00:36:02.469
it cold?
692
00:36:02.489 --> 00:36:04.849
I don't know, because it's convenient sometimes.
693
00:36:04.869 --> 00:36:08.030
Right, so the immune system takes him apart bit by bit.
694
00:36:08.050 --> 00:36:10.170
Mm-hmm.
695
00:36:10.190 --> 00:36:13.030
And so he's gone. They got this roller gem. The
696
00:36:13.090 --> 00:36:17.650
main G gremlin is gone. And the dad lands to
697
00:36:17.690 --> 00:36:24.510
be 52 on 95 North. And Vision is all sentimental.
698
00:36:24.530 --> 00:36:29.239
He's like, oh, because originally Derek asked vision if he
699
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.760
believed in ghosts he's like no he's like i believe
700
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:34.460
in ghosts because ghosts from our past are the things
701
00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:39.280
that guide us and so they he hugs everybody he
702
00:36:39.300 --> 00:36:42.719
goes around hugs victoria and hugs steve and derrick and
703
00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:44.280
he's happy.
704
00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:46.420
Old softy yeah he's like i'm happy to have met
705
00:36:46.460 --> 00:36:50.190
you guys and victoria's like um i'm gonna actually start
706
00:36:50.329 --> 00:36:54.409
using my brain and because i realized i have one
707
00:36:54.610 --> 00:36:56.690
because she came up with these ideas and was like
708
00:36:56.710 --> 00:36:59.010
all right man maybe i'm actually good at this And
709
00:36:59.030 --> 00:37:01.079
she's like, well, stay in touch, Vision, because, you know,
710
00:37:01.139 --> 00:37:05.780
we are family. And he goes, he basically has like
711
00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:06.619
a jaw drop.
712
00:37:06.659 --> 00:37:07.880
He has puppy dog eyes.
713
00:37:07.900 --> 00:37:12.000
We are family. Your grandpa is my dad. Yeah, so
714
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.260
you're like my great niece or something like that, or
715
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:18.559
my niece, whatever it was. And so the last scene
716
00:37:18.619 --> 00:37:21.840
is him at Beanius' grave saying, I'm going to carry
717
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:23.699
on with your wish for me to be a hero.
718
00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:27.059
The end. The end.
719
00:37:29.909 --> 00:37:35.820
Vision. Vision out. Vision out. I don't think there's going
720
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.619
to be a lot of that in the show. I
721
00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:40.820
think there's going.
722
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:43.500
To be a lot of daddy issue themes in the show.
723
00:37:45.059 --> 00:37:48.300
I still have no idea because there's also looking at
724
00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:52.409
some of the things like what's his face? The guy that,
725
00:37:52.670 --> 00:37:53.889
oh my god, I can't think of his name. The
726
00:37:53.929 --> 00:37:54.710
guy that was the.
727
00:37:58.929 --> 00:38:04.030
He was the main antagonist captain in Picard season three
728
00:38:04.869 --> 00:38:11.110
is in this series playing Paladin. And, um, I just
729
00:38:11.130 --> 00:38:15.510
happened to see, I happened to see Paladin is a, um,
730
00:38:16.230 --> 00:38:21.650
one of the C level characters. I guess you want
731
00:38:21.789 --> 00:38:26.710
to call it that. Um, hold on. Um, like he's
732
00:38:26.730 --> 00:38:30.929
a bad guy. He's a bad guy. Um, hold on.
733
00:38:30.940 --> 00:38:32.739
I'm going to, I'm going to get through this year
734
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.400
and I'm going to find out who, uh, I'm not
735
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:39.219
going to be able to do this in quite enough
736
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:44.039
time without, you know, let's see. Quite enough time.
737
00:38:44.179 --> 00:38:44.960
Who's on the timer?
738
00:38:46.699 --> 00:38:49.880
This is, cause that was when Jack Crusher, hold on,
739
00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:52.820
Jordy Elton. Oh my God. He should have been like
740
00:38:52.860 --> 00:38:54.719
one of the main people here. Why can't I think
741
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:56.780
of who this is? Cause he was the captain of
742
00:38:56.820 --> 00:39:01.690
the ship that they, him and, um, Riker basically commandeered,
743
00:39:01.730 --> 00:39:03.469
and he's like, oh, here we go, Todd Stashwick.
744
00:39:05.429 --> 00:39:07.550
None of these names mean anything to me.
745
00:39:07.869 --> 00:39:11.219
No, but he is playing... He was Captain Liam Shaw
746
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:15.480
in Season 3 of Picard. His main thing was on
747
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:19.079
the sci-fi show 12 Monkeys. When you see him, I
748
00:39:19.099 --> 00:39:21.599
know it because he's a big Star Wars guy, so
749
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:23.780
he's been on Rebel Force Radio and able to chat
750
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:29.070
with him and stuff like that. But he is playing in... Yeah.
751
00:39:29.210 --> 00:39:29.929
And scroll all the way down.
752
00:39:30.019 --> 00:39:30.179
Here.
753
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:35.659
Post-production for Vision Quest is playing Paladin. And Paladin is a.
754
00:39:36.260 --> 00:39:40.179
Mark Spector was actually ultimate version of Paladin. And he
755
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:45.320
is pretty much like a. He's not a supervillain. His
756
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:48.559
mercenary activities often bring him into conflict with superheroes facing
757
00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:51.659
characters like Daredevil and Punisher. He notably worked for the
758
00:39:51.699 --> 00:39:55.320
Wild Pack, the Thunderbolts, and the Serpent Society. So if
759
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:58.119
you saw him, he basically wears like a purple and
760
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:00.570
black outfit. So nothing like.
761
00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:01.800
Okay.
762
00:40:01.820 --> 00:40:03.789
Anyways, I just thought of that because they were at
763
00:40:03.829 --> 00:40:05.530
New York Comic Con and I go, what is he
764
00:40:05.590 --> 00:40:07.989
doing there? And they say, he's playing Paladin. I'm like, oh,
765
00:40:08.010 --> 00:40:12.969
they're bringing Paladin into the MCU. Which... With the MCU
766
00:40:12.989 --> 00:40:15.599
these days, they're bringing everyone in to have like a, hey,
767
00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:18.619
how's it going? And then we'll never see. I hate
768
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:20.699
to say it. I was talking with some of my
769
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.960
friends again. We're never going to see Mark Spector in
770
00:40:22.980 --> 00:40:26.539
the MCU. We've never seen Mark Spector ever again. Unless
771
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:30.739
they do like a monster thing with, you know, because they,
772
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:32.679
I mean, Werewolf by Night was so good and they
773
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:35.119
still got, you know, any of those.
774
00:40:35.539 --> 00:40:37.679
They could still do it. It could come back.
775
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:39.679
They could. We'll see.
776
00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:40.159
We'll see.
777
00:40:40.179 --> 00:40:43.610
I mean, we don't know any television show. live action
778
00:40:43.969 --> 00:40:44.409
in the MCU.
779
00:40:44.429 --> 00:40:50.559
Yeah, we do now. They announced Zodiac.
780
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.519
Oh, Zodiac. Yeah, that's supposed to be like a spy thriller,
781
00:40:54.460 --> 00:40:56.719
which feels more like it, because obviously the A is the.
782
00:40:57.059 --> 00:41:01.530
Just don't screw the pooch like you did with Secret Invasion, Marvel.
783
00:41:01.550 --> 00:41:05.829
I think they had the scroll of it all was just...
784
00:41:05.690 --> 00:41:09.389
I mean, this one focusing on the A is the
785
00:41:09.769 --> 00:41:13.929
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, pretty much. And so it's going.
786
00:41:13.829 --> 00:41:16.050
To be like, people are getting excited. Yeah.
787
00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:20.000
So anyway, so that is, when is it? Patient. Everyone
788
00:41:20.019 --> 00:41:22.179
you get this week is the first, what? Two episodes
789
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.239
of Wanda vision. Yeah.
790
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:24.840
Wednesday.
791
00:41:24.860 --> 00:41:28.019
Wanda vision, vision quest, vision quest.
792
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:30.780
And it's, I'm excited.
793
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:33.039
How many episodes long is it? Eight.
794
00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:34.679
I think it's eight. Yeah.
795
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:35.239
November.
796
00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:35.760
Okay.
797
00:41:35.780 --> 00:41:38.280
So, well, we get to this week to next week
798
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:41.070
to the week after that. And then November 3rd, November 10th.
799
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:45.789
So they're, Um, Oh, they're, they're jumping it in because
800
00:41:46.070 --> 00:41:48.269
this is interesting. The first two were directed by the
801
00:41:48.309 --> 00:41:50.210
same guy, same with the three and four or five
802
00:41:50.250 --> 00:41:51.829
and six and then seven and eight. So it was
803
00:41:51.849 --> 00:41:52.150
sort of.
804
00:41:52.130 --> 00:41:54.150
Like, Oh, I like when they do that.
805
00:41:55.070 --> 00:41:59.510
It's probably like they're used to remember how, whatever did that. Yeah,
806
00:41:59.550 --> 00:42:02.809
that's true. And Dr. Who would have a lot of
807
00:42:02.849 --> 00:42:06.090
shows would have like episode one of two. It's like
808
00:42:06.110 --> 00:42:08.369
a cliffhanger. So basically it was a 90 minute episode.
809
00:42:08.690 --> 00:42:09.429
So they split them.
810
00:42:09.630 --> 00:42:09.909
Right.
811
00:42:10.269 --> 00:42:12.659
So, um, Yeah, so we're going to be doing that.
812
00:42:13.489 --> 00:42:16.210
And I'm going.
813
00:42:15.809 --> 00:42:16.329
To take a.
814
00:42:17.809 --> 00:42:20.630
Look here. Next week we're doing Clayface Primer. So we're
815
00:42:20.650 --> 00:42:22.650
going to have to go see that in the movies
816
00:42:22.690 --> 00:42:23.329
next week.
817
00:42:25.469 --> 00:42:27.469
Yeah, I'm worried about that movie.
818
00:42:28.329 --> 00:42:31.199
You know what's worrisome about it? It's one of those
819
00:42:31.260 --> 00:42:33.820
movies where it's like when they're doing it this late
820
00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:36.219
and they haven't had any... I mean, it's coming out
821
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:40.050
in 10 days. And there's been no... pre-screenings I mean
822
00:42:40.110 --> 00:42:42.750
unless they usually sometimes will do a I.
823
00:42:42.710 --> 00:42:45.269
Think they're just starting to do them because Ashley said
824
00:42:45.309 --> 00:42:48.909
Bill Bria was gonna go to one okay but that's
825
00:42:48.949 --> 00:42:54.730
like really late yeah.
826
00:42:52.989 --> 00:42:54.349
I mean usually I mean usually I.
827
00:42:54.329 --> 00:42:56.869
Was excited for it now I'm like I don't know.
828
00:42:57.769 --> 00:43:01.769
The world premiere would probably be like tomorrow or like
829
00:43:01.809 --> 00:43:05.690
the and the thing is it's budget is only 40
830
00:43:05.690 --> 00:43:08.780
million dollars how much of it is And there's gotta
831
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:14.250
be a lot of, uh, CGI into it. Yeah.
832
00:43:14.289 --> 00:43:17.010
I mean, the cast, we'll see. You know what? We're
833
00:43:17.030 --> 00:43:20.349
going to read the one bad day, one shot comic,
834
00:43:20.409 --> 00:43:24.309
and it'll be a good time. And that's on Kindle unlimited. If, uh,
835
00:43:24.489 --> 00:43:28.079
you don't have the DC comics app, like I don't anymore.
836
00:43:29.059 --> 00:43:34.400
Um, I forgot what I was going to say. Um, Oh,
837
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.179
I mean, it can't be as bad as Craven, the hunter.
838
00:43:37.750 --> 00:43:38.320
or whatever.
839
00:43:38.429 --> 00:43:42.880
I still haven't seen it. You can't even, you can't. Morbius.
840
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:46.340
Yeah. If it's, if it's more, I mean, think about it.
841
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:52.590
The movies before that were Morbius and Spiderweb, Spiderweb. I mean,
842
00:43:53.070 --> 00:43:56.250
if a progressive, if the rest of those movies was Morbius,
843
00:43:56.369 --> 00:44:00.449
it's like, God, that is like, you know, I mean.
844
00:44:00.750 --> 00:44:04.010
Yeah. That's scraping the bottom of the barrel.
845
00:44:04.550 --> 00:44:06.389
But the whole thing, you could polish the turd, but
846
00:44:06.409 --> 00:44:13.119
it's still a piece of crap. Anyways, so we'll be
847
00:44:13.179 --> 00:44:18.059
doing some Clayface primers next week. And in the meantime,

256.
