TRANSKRIP 🔗
WEBVTT
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:07.679
Hello everybody, my name is Paul.
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.720
I'm Clayton.
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.039
And you're listening to the Beyond the Pool list podcast.
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:12.400
We are back.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.719
Woo! And we've got some new fancy equipment.
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:23.679
If you're if if things are working out, if our equipment sounds good, then that means everything worked properly.
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:25.359
If it doesn't, then it didn't.
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:36.079
Um we I'm borrowing my recording equipment and my whole setup for that I use on Real Takes, which is my other podcast, um, to record this episode.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.799
We're gonna give it a test run to see if it works really good.
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:45.039
And if it does, then we will be hopefully bringing this back more often and maybe have our own.
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:47.600
Crazy how that works.
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.359
Was that just there for a little plug for your Real Takes podcast?
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:52.560
Is that it actually wasn't?
00:00:52.640 --> 00:01:07.200
I was I want because I because here's my thing is if if if if we use this and it works, and then in the next episode we don't have it because like we just don't have the gear, because we're we're sharing this with some people, and I just don't want people to be like, why did the quality get good and then get not good?
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:07.920
Right.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:09.439
So get not good.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:15.439
So hopefully uh we'll be using this more often, and hopefully um we'll be just getting to use it.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.680
This will be a more thing, regular thing.
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:17.840
Right.
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.920
So if it if the quality downgrades in the next episode, just stick with us.
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:22.879
It's gonna go back up.
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:24.079
We're working on it.
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:25.120
We're working on it very slowly.
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.519
But more importantly, today we have some big, big stuff to talk about.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:30.799
So much stuff.
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:31.359
Yes.
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.200
Uh we have you want to break it down real quick, what we're gonna talk about today.
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:36.079
I think you want to break it down.
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:36.959
I do want to break it down.
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:37.760
I'm gonna let you break it down.
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:38.079
Go ahead.
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.159
This is this is a big episode for me.
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.079
I got my two big boys over here.
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.200
I got my two favorite characters, Superman, Spider-Man, the first crossover in 50 years.
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:47.680
Whoa.
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.480
I am super hyped to talk about that.
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.400
Uh, a lot of stories.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:53.680
Was it good?
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:55.040
I don't know.
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.239
I just read it and uh Clayton got to see my live reaction to all the stuff that we will be for sure.
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.519
It was very hard to not like look up and say, I need to talk to you about this.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:08.479
There was one thing that I got upset about that I couldn't help, and I had to just go ahead and be like, This is stupid.
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.240
Why are they like why are they doing this?
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:11.680
Which we'll we'll get there again.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:16.639
So the real question will be Is this book worth the 999 price that it is?
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:17.840
We'll get it there.
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:25.680
We are also going to talk about Spider-Man again, not Ultimate Spider-Man this time, because we are done talking about it's dead, it's dead.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.800
We are going to talk about the Spider-Man Brand No Day trailer.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:29.280
Yes.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.240
Which was you'll just have to listen to the rest.
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:35.919
I'm like kicking my feet.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.599
I'm like, what to talk about?
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:46.960
And then finally, uh, in case you aren't already, but hopefully you are, you're following us on Instagram at ComicNation1776.
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:56.719
And we put up a poll uh probably about a week ago, I guess, on whether or not you guys wanted us to review the first couple of episodes of Invincible Season 4.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.039
And with overwhelming majority, I mean overwhelming.
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.000
What was the poll?
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.759
Did you did you have an exact?
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.000
I think it was like 100 to 10.
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:07.360
No, no, no.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.159
It like tripled the oh, oh, okay.
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.000
I was like, oh, did I just overshoot it?
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:19.520
Like 300 plus in favor of let's hear it, and like 10 uh being like, No, no, we don't want to hear it.
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.759
No, you guys suck.
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.280
Well, we're doing it anyway.

We're not done yet.
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:14.240
We're just getting started.
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.199
We're just getting started.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:27.600
But today is the sunny superhero day, is what I called it a while back because we're doing Invincible, we're doing Spider-Man, and we're doing Superman, who are the three bright day sunshiny, well, maybe Invincible.
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.759
Well, I well, it's costume at least.
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.040
Yeah, it's cost him at least.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.519
Uh the story and stuff going on, not so much.
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.199
But but we got a lot to talk about.
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:35.839
We do.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.839
But let's get into the big comic this week.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:44.800
The comic that I have been the moment, so the moment it was announced, I think I screamed louder than when my wife told me that she was pregnant.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.680
I'm just I'm just kidding.
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.639
If my daughter listens to this in the future, I'm just kidding.
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.319
That didn't actually happen.
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.639
She probably doesn't believe you.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.879
She's like, dad dad would be more excited.
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:57.839
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:58.720
She knows.
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:05.120
So the Superman Spider-Man Crossover, published by DC Comics, uh, and Marvel, of course, but this one was the one released by DC.
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.519
There's another one, the Marvel one's coming out next month.
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:08.800
Next wow, that's a long time.
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:09.600
Yes, yes.
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:19.120
Uh so we read the issue and we want to talk about our favorite stories, what we liked about this issue, and again, is it worth the$9.99 price?
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.959
Yes, because this is a very I don't know.
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:24.240
I don't know how I feel about it.
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.839
We ranked the stories, we both have our own ranking of each story.
00:07:28.160 -->
00:07:35.199
Um I guess do we wanna do we want to go in order of stories, or do we want to just go through our rank as we tell the stories?
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.839
Uh well, let's rank the stories.
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.839
But first, I want to just shout out all the artists who worked on this.
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:42.399
Yes.
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.439
Uh every single cover, every interior work is incredible.
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.720
There's not there's no bad art associated with this.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:52.079
There's not, yeah.
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.279
This is I am hope-pilled after this.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.519
Did um now, did you just get the one cover or did you get multiple?
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:06.160
I just got the the Jorge Jimenez wraparound cover because I think that's just beautiful, but man, there is not a bad cover.
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:07.360
There is not, there's really not a bad cover.
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:08.319
Which ones did you get?
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.360
I got so I I was looking at the DNA one.
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:11.759
Okay.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.240
I don't know, is it the it's like where it's the blue background?
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:20.319
And it I I almost bought it, but the the main one I ordered was the Delato, because you gotta have my black suit Spidey.
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.079
Um it's uh Superman in the black suit and Spider-Man in the black suit, and they look suit in the city, it's at night.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:26.879
It's so good.
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.600
Um, and I also couldn't help because I'm a sucker for anything Clayton Crane puts out.
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.559
I got the crane variant as well because it was a really cool cover.
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.679
And Clayton doesn't do a lot of bright, happy art.
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.799
Like a lot of his stuff is dark, and like that's just his vibe.
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.679
So getting something a little bit different from him is really cool.
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.600
We have to also have to shout out Clayton Crane because there's not many Claytons out there.
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.919
So no, no, we got we're in the brotherhood.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:51.600
It's just you two.
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.200
There's no other Claytons out there.
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.600
Someone comments, like, hey, my name is Clayton.
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.559
My name's Clayton too.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:57.679
Oh, there's my third.
00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.519
Um, what other variants did they do?
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.360
They did uh they did uh Delato, Clayton Crane.
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.039
They did the Power Girl and I think they did a Power Girl Punisher cover.
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.799
They did a Power Girl Black Cat cover.
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:10.320
I said all the guys are gonna get that one.
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.200
Yeah, oh yeah.
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.159
Um they did uh I think they have a couple of Venom, they have two Venom ones, or is that for the Marvel one?
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:17.759
I think that might be for the Marvel one.
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:24.960
Yeah, the Marvel one has multiple Venom Superman, which of course, as me and Clayton always have talked about, Venom did beat Superman.
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.200
Okay, I know, I know, I know what happened.
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.480
I wish I had a boo button.
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.000
Like we have buttons.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.559
Hang on, let me let me actually Yeah.
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:42.000
We have sound buttons now, so any time if I say something stupid about Spider-Man and MJ doing it again, we've got a we've got a button for it.
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:46.799
I wish we had a boo that's that's a that's a canon event for the on the pullies.
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.159
Yeah, it's that's gonna happen.
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.000
We're gonna we're it's gonna be great.
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.919
Um but they did a lot of cool variants for this.
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.360
There's a lot of a lot of covers.
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.759
It sucked because getting two of them is twenty dollars.
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:56.080
Right.
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.039
Well, eighteen, I guess.
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:57.840
We'll we'll tax twenty.
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.159
And your bags and boards a dollar or whatever.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:01.600
Um but yeah, let's go.
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:02.159
I guess we'll just do it.
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:03.039
Let's let's get into it.
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.840
So we'll we'll let's go ahead and rank them.
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:06.159
Okay.
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:11.600
And then we'll talk about what happens in each story and and why we liked these stories and why we put them where we put them.
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.480
I tell you what, let's Okay, let's do that.
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:14.799
Okay.
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.519
I was gonna say let's let's talk about the stories and then rank them, but nah, let's just let's just rank it.
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.600
So we both said that our number one story.
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.279
So first of all, there's uh there's seven uh no, there's eight stories in this book.
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.159
There's eight mini stories in this book, which is a lot.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:31.120
There is a lot.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.279
Um yes, and um, so Clay, you know what?
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:35.759
You're excited.
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:36.799
I'm gonna let you take a lead on this.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.320
I want your you're jumping up and down.
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:38.879
Let's do it.
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.320
I'm I'm I'm vibing.
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.120
Okay, so I put the main story as number one.
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:44.639
I think that was
the best story.
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:45.120
Yeah.
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.720
Probably because it was the main story.
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:46.960
Yes.
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:48.399
But anyways, it's number one for me.
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.240
I put my second favorite story.
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.600
Well, do you want to you wanted to go your favorite story too?
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:54.799
Mine was also number one.
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:54.960
Okay.
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.000
Yeah, we were both number one.
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.480
So for number two, for me, I did the Jonathan Kent and the Ben Parker story.
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:01.600
That's number two for me.
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.399
I did Spider Boy and Spider-Man 2099.
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:04.879
Okay.
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.919
My third favorite is the Lois Lane Mary Jane story.
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:08.320
Okay.
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.399
Mine was Punisher and Power Girl.
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:10.799
Okay.
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.720
Which also got my biggest negative reaction, which I'm sure hearing that, you know exactly what it is, but we'll get there in a minute.
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:17.360
Yes.
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.600
Uh, then number four is Superboy and Spider-Man 2099.
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.240
Four for me was Lois Lane and Mary Jane.
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:24.639
Okay.
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.360
Number five is Superboy Prime and Amazing Spider-Man.
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:28.480
Mine was also number five.
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:28.799
Okay.
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.879
Number six is Punisher and Power Girl.
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.679
Uh six for me was Jonathan Kent and Ben Parker.
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:34.399
Okay.
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:36.639
You're like, that's wrong.
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:42.720
Uh number seven is it's, I think technically titled Truth, but it is the J.
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.120
Jonah Jameson versus Lois Lane debate.
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.039
That was my number seven as well.
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.720
And unfortunately, our number eight was Jimmy Illson and Carnage.
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:51.039
Yes.
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.039
Which okay, we'll get into that.
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:53.759
We'll get into it.
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:54.799
So main story.
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:56.159
Why didn't we put it at number one?
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.480
I put it as number one because it's classic Superman Spider-Man.
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:00.720
Right.
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.240
This is the story that we came here for.
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:02.639
Yes.
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.159
You know, we came here because we wanted to see Spider-Man and Superman fight a villain.
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:11.120
Now it did get the cliche of which I I didn't like this, that they kind of swap their villains.
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:11.279
Yes.
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.679
Because that's what I feel like all verses books do.
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.559
It's like, oh well, because one of my favorite uh collab stories is Spider-Man Batman.
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:18.799
Right.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:25.600
And the villains are Joker and Carnage, and they do a thing where Spider-Man's fighting Joker and Batman's fighting Carnage, which I thought, oh my gosh, that's the best thing in the world.
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:25.840
Yeah.
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.679
But um it felt like they redid that trope, and I was like, oh, I wish they'd have been like teaming up to fight the, you know what I mean?
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.120
Or some, you know, something else.
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.799
But you know, but yeah.
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:36.879
It's it it it you're exactly right.
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:38.879
It is what we've waited 50 years for.
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:44.399
We have waited for Superman, Spider-Man just to be together, just to give us inspiration and give us hope.
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:48.320
And I I I put it as number one, because it was a feel-good story.
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.759
Yeah, it was one of those stories that if you're having a bad day, you should definitely come to.
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:52.240
Right.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.960
Um, and it just was kind of fun to watch them interact again.
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:03.519
And I've really felt like this story gave Clark Kent like an older brother vibe with Peter Parker.
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:03.919
Yeah.
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:10.559
Uh there was a few lines from Peter Parker where I kind of rolled my eyes because I'm like, we're still doing the man child thing with Peter Parker.
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.679
Yeah, I feel I yeah, I kind of had the same, yeah.
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:20.159
But overall though, I mean, we have to kind of preference this right now is that there really wasn't a bad story.
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.759
There were some that were like they're they're uh eh they're okay.
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:24.159
Yeah.
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.039
Um, but there's not necessarily a bad one.
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.759
I don't think there's a yeah, I I don't have a problem.
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.159
Like I have problems with stories.
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:39.200
Um I don't think there's a you know, I agree with you, I don't think there's a bad story, but I think I'm gonna save this opinion.
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:39.919
Okay, wait.
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.360
Because I I I have my overall opinion for the book.
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:44.559
I have an overall opinion.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.440
And we're gonna get into that.
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:50.080
Yeah, I think I think once we do Jimmy Olsen and Carnage and we finish these, I think we the whole book as a whole is all.
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:50.480
Yes, yes.
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:51.200
Yes.
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.279
Uh so why did you have your number two as what you did?
00:13:55.600
--> 00:13:59.679
So my number two, Spider uh Spider Boy, wait, Super says Spider-Boy on her.
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:02.000
Oh man, I can't type.
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:02.879
It's okay.
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:04.320
Oh no, we have notes.
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.799
Uh those uh Superboy and Spider-Man 2099.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:14.159
I picked it because when I was reading it, um, first of all, I didn't expect a Spider-Man 2099 story in here.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:15.840
Um so that was really cool.
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.120
The art's really good.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:18.399
I love the art for this.
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.000
But as I was reading it, I I actually vocalized.
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.000
I was like, I think I know what's about to happen.
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.440
And if it is, I'm really excited.
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:25.759
Yeah.
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:30.799
And it was Batman Beyond coming in, and like getting that was amazing.
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.039
But you know, you made a good point, and sorry for telling me.
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:33.519
No, go on.
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:34.080
No, go ahead.
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:39.039
Uh you said in your head you hear a certain voice actor for 2099.
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:39.840
2099.
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:46.159
I'm going back and forth between like the if you've ever played Spider-Man Shatter Dimensions, I don't let me hang on, let me pull it.
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:46.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:52.879
So while you do that, so you were talking about you have a voice for Spider-Man 29, 2099.
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.919
You have a voice for Batman Beyond.
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:56.399
Yes.
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:09.039
But one thing we didn't talk about is obviously Batman Beyond is talking to Bruce Wayne in this, and you regardless, you hear Kevin Conroy as as even old Batman.
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:15.840
I hear I was about to say Kevin Conroy was definitely um undisputed voice actor right there for Batman.
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:27.600
So my Spider, so here's here's the the thing with Spider-Man 29 is I have two voice actors that I was like, I hear the one I hear is Dan uh Gilzan?
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:28.559
Is that how you pronounce it?
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.919
It's from Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions.
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:35.679
If you ever played Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, that was the voice actor of 2099, and that's who I just automatically hear for 2099 forever.
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:44.480
Um I was trying to hear Oscar Isaac Oscar Isaac because of the new 2099, because I love 2099 and in uh across the Spider-Verse.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:49.919
But every time I'm listening, I just keep going back to that Shattered Dimensions voice, and that's just who I hear.
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:50.720
I can't help it.
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.679
It's just you know.
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:56.000
Um but seeing Batman Beyond, and I
made this point.
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:01.840
I was like, the thing is is that that was not Spider-Man, Superman, that was Spider-Man and Batman Beyond.
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:02.159
Yes.
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:11.840
And like I can see why you don't like that because yeah, because it's a Superman, it's supposed to be a Superman Spider-Man story, so it's supposed to be Superman Spider-Man.
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:22.320
And and I made this comment while you were reading the book that to me it felt like I think it was Sean Gordon Murphy who did this story, but I could be totally wrong there.
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:28.000
Um, that he wanted to do a Batman Beyond and Spider-Man 2999 story.
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:29.600
And this was his excuse to do it.
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.039
Yes, yes, yeah, I agree.
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:35.279
Yeah, and that's he's like, okay, well, Superman's here.
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.799
Alright, go away.
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.360
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.200
Superman, you know, and I'm not like I'm I'm more of a Batman fan than a Superman fan.
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.519
So like for me, I was like, I love this, it was great.
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:50.720
Um, I was tempted to put it at number one, but I just I was because I was like, when I read it, I was like, that's definitely my favorite out of all of them so far.
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.759
Um, but I it I needed natural Spider-Man, like OG Spidey and OG Superman.
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.120
That had to have number one.
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.039
I just because that was what I came here for.
00:16:59.120 --> 00:16:59.440
Yes.
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.240
Um, but this was something I didn't come here for that I got that I was like, whoa, whoa.
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.079
Um, so definitely my number two.
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.039
What was your number two?
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:07.519
Your number two.
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:16.000
Well, go, I'll go ahead and and put it down here that my superboy and Spider-Man 2999 was my number four.
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.000
And and my list is really flexible.
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.519
Yeah, mine is two, yeah.
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.359
But but, anyways, my number two was Jonathan Kent and Ben Parker's story.
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:23.759
Okay.
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.119
And in this story, it's Superman and Spider-Man.
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:31.119
You don't see them, but they're talking about their upbringings, they're talking about the people who shaped them.
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.440
Yeah.
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:36.960
And in the story, you see uh Ben who's traveling through Kansas at the time.
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:42.240
There's a tornado, and he and Jonathan end up saving some little kids.
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:42.400
Yeah.
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:42.640
Yeah.
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:44.640
Just kind of having a small little moment.
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:49.039
And they don't realize it at this time because they're both still young at this point.
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:49.440
Right.
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:54.880
Uh, but they're about to raise the the two most inspirational heroes of all time.
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.039
And that's what they're talking about, Superman Spider-Man.
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:57.519
Yeah.
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:59.920
And uh, and then at the end you see them together.
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.640
And I think that is a that is probably my favorite panel from this whole book.
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.680
Is that last one of them just like flying off together?
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:09.839
Well, Spider-Man swinging by, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.000
I think that's just and that's the artist who does uh absolute Superman, by the way.
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:14.559
Really?
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:15.519
Ralph of Sindel.
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.160
Okay, yeah, okay.
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.880
So if you like the art for that book, you might want to hop on that.
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:20.559
I click it, I see it now.
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:22.880
Um I put let's see here.
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.000
We're on number two, Jonathan Kent and Ben Parker.
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:28.240
Um so that was my number six.
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.759
And the only reason was because it was really hard to rate rank these.
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:41.440
I I liked it, but it it it I don't know if I should uh because I the problem, like I don't want to say the whole No, okay, let's just save it.
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:42.079
Let's just save it.
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.119
Okay, like okay, okay.
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:43.920
We'll just save it.
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:56.319
It it the it the I it's a good story because it I love um I will talk about what I do, like it talks about them two who are superheroes, talking about the people who inspired them that are just two guys who are just ordinary.
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:07.440
There's two guys who are good at heart that are you know they're very selfless and they're willing to to put themselves in danger to save people just because that's what they have to do as men.
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:09.119
And I think that's really cool.
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:13.920
And it's cool that superheroes are looking on just two ordinary guys.
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:23.920
I mean, of course they're their uncles, but like you know You know, this could get really deep if we really wanted to, but it really showed the importance of a good dad.
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:24.400
Yeah.
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:29.920
I'm not gonna go there because that's that's just gonna be a conversation that we we would get really deep into.
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.279
But I think that shows the importance of what it means to be a good dad.
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:33.680
Yeah.
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:35.920
And and that's the kind of dad I hope that I would.
00:19:36.319 -->
00:19:37.519
I think I think I think you got it.
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:44.319
Funny enough, the Clayton texted me the other day and he was like, because uh Gabriela, his wife is getting a little close to pregnancy.
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:49.279
And he was like, it's hitting me because one of the questions I asked him was like, Does it not like Donna?
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.799
Like, does it not freak you out at all?
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:52.240
And he's like, Oh no, not yet.
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:59.359
Well, he texted me and he's like, as I'm like cleaning up a leak in my basement, he's like, he's like, I'm freaking out! I'm freaking out, it's it's time.
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.400
We are we are uh basically a month away.
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.680
So that's when it hit me, and I'm like, I'm gonna be a dad.
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:07.359
Paul, Paul, you don't understand.
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:08.240
I'm about to be a dad.
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:14.400
So this is this could also be the last spot Superman Spider-Man crossover that comes out before it's possible, it's possible.
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.319
If the other one comes out and you're in the hospital, I'll grab it and bring it to you.
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.039
I appreciate it.
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.319
That's that's because that's what heroes do.
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.680
That's what heroes do.
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:24.480
You're right.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.480
All right, all right, number story number three.
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:27.359
Story number three.
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.559
For me, my third was Punisher and Power Girl.
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:31.519
Okay, okay.
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:33.519
Which is definitely not what I expected.
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.000
It's not what I expected either, honestly.
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.079
Um let's just go ahead and talk about it.
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:44.160
Punisher and Power Girl Punisher and Power Girl for me was story number six.
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.359
Uh yes.
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:45.920
Yes.
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.319
So um I liked it.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.039
It wasn't bad.
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.200
And you you have a good point there.
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:52.559
They have good chemistry.
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:54.880
Yeah, the chemistry is very opposite.
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.200
Yeah.
00:20:55.359 --> 00:21:08.799
And I think that's cute because I've never seen Punisher fall in like I've never seen a girl No, I mean I don't I don't know if he necessarily fell in love, but he was like chuckling at the like the giddiness of being on a date.
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:09.200
Yeah.
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:15.519
You know, and you don't I've never seen that out of The Punisher, and it was just kind of like one of those books that was like not bad.
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:16.240
Yeah, not bad.
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:18.079
You know, like I I dig it.
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.000
Tell me what you liked about it.
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:24.079
Oh well, I before I tell you what I did like about it.
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.880
Well, what you didn't like is also what I didn't like about this story.
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:28.720
But but but I'll tell you what I did like.
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:33.119
I I like the same thing, it was a cute little issue, and you didn't expect that.
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:38.960
And I when I was flipping through, because I hadn't looked at what stories were going to be in this, I was just main Superman Spider-Man story.
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:39.680
That's all I cared about.
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:40.240
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.920
And so I flipped through it before I read it, and I came across that.
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:45.759
I'm like, this is a weird combination.
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:46.319
It is.
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:46.720
Yeah.
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:47.920
Why would they do this?
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:53.680
And like the first page of them put together, it says Punisher and Power Girl go on a date.
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.039
And I thought, what in the world are we about to see here?
00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.759
So I read it, and it was it was just a cute dynamic.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.319
And it was show it shows that the Punisher has a heart, I guess.
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:04.720
Yeah.
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:05.119
Yeah.
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:06.559
And so that was nice.
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:06.960
Yeah.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:17.119
But in those very first panels of this story, uh, there is a moment that I really thought we were about to go heavily downhill.
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:22.480
And you and I had the same exact reaction to reading this panel.
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:23.519
And it is.
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:29.599
It's it's slamming your hands on the table and saying, Are you freaking kidding me?
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:31.119
What Marvel?
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:32.240
Stop.
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.039
Stop.
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.680
They put freaking Paul Rabin in it.
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:37.440
The worst character.
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:38.240
Yes.
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.240
Paul can't even get words because he hates this character.
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.519
Power girl is going on a date to this place.
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.079
And I guess it's like, is this villain bar?
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:48.960
Villain bar?
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.119
Yeah.
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:53.279
Why would Paul take a I'm not even gonna go there.
00:22:53.599 --> 00:23:06.319
But my thing is that she walks in, and of course it's Paul there being all awkward and being like, oh hey, like I met you on on on uh whatever the dating site was, off-brand Tinder, and I'm so excited to sit here and go on a date.
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:11.920
And like, well, I I'm having all these problems, and you know, but but but oh gosh, you're so pretty.
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:16.799
And she's like, I would rather be fighting dark side than be on this date.
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:18.720
And it's it my thing is, right?
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:19.920
I'm gonna go on a rant.
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:27.200
Why is the Spider-Man office so intent on putting Paul in everything?
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:27.680
Yeah.
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:28.319
Why?
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:29.680
There's no need in it.
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:31.599
Like, no one likes this character.
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:33.839
And they even make a note of that in this.
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.559
He's like I'm really a nice guy, but um, no one likes me for some reason.
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:43.200
And it's like, because no, because you're dating Peter's wife.
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:48.000
Like, again, Peter should be married to MJ, and Paul should be gone.
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.279
I don't I don't care where he's at, give him put him anywhere.
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.079
Just get him out of Peter Parker and quit it.
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:54.880
Like, stop it.
00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:00.559
You know, I'm I'm so I don't understand why the Spider-Man office feels the need to put him in everything.
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:02.480
Nobody wants him in these books.
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.920
Nobody wants him in this.
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:05.440
Nobody wants him in Venom.
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.960
Nobody wants him in Spider-Man.
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:08.160
Just get rid of him.
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.079
He's a character that is nothing.
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.920
And literally, the whole purpose of his character is to just be shit on.
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.319
Yeah.
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:16.960
It's just a character that's like, hey, I suck.
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.160
Make fun of me.
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.079
That's literally the only purpose.
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:24.079
And it's just like, it's like Marvel's keeping him around just because they're like, oh yeah, everybody hates him.
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:24.960
Keep putting him in the book.
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:25.440
It's funny.
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.559
Like it's rage bait.
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:26.720
Yeah.
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:29.279
It's just, it's just, it, it, it's so unnecessary.
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.480
I and I hate I hate giving this book number three.
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:39.759
The only reason I gave it the third place was because I was like, oh, they're the the Punisher Power Girl was really cute and I really like that.
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:41.599
But Paul, get him out of here.
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:41.920
Yeah.
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.440
And I hate that because my name is Paul.
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:43.680
Yeah.
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:44.319
That sucks.
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:44.640
Yeah.
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:46.640
Whatever.
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:55.200
Yeah, we we made a comment before we were s started recording that Paul's only purpose is to is to cuckhold Peter Parker.
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.480
His his purpose, he like I his existence.
00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:58.880
Yeah.
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:03.200
His existence is literally the phrase uh robbing Peter to pay Paul.
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:03.759
Literally.
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.240
Yeah, it's literally that's that's the only purpose.
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.160
Is so Mary Jane has somebody there.
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:08.400
Yeah.
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:10.079
And the fans hate him.
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:14.880
And Marvel knows that, and they're like, oh, well, how how can we keep the fans hating this guy?
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.279
We want we want the hate to still be there.
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:27.519
I guess because it drives I guess because like I remember in the Venom issue where MJ and Paul broke up, it was a big thing because it was like, oh, well, like everybody was talking about it, being like, oh, everything's great.
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.000
They broke up, they broke up, but that's what Marvel wants.
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.160
They want right people to buy these books because it's like, oh, finally, like they're breaking up.
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.400
But then Paul's still in the book, and him and MJ are still living together, and they're still talking.
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:39.680
It's weird, it's stupid.
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:41.359
I'm just I'm I'm tired of this story.
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:42.240
Get this character out of here.
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:43.279
No one likes him.
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:44.079
Get him out of here.
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:44.480
Yeah.
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.720
Sorry, but you know, uh, that's all I gotta say about that.
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.559
Was that story number three?
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:51.599
Uh for me it was number three.
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:51.839
Okay.
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:53.759
I'm starting to reconsider it again.
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.200
Reconsider it that it shouldn't be because I hate Paul that he's in it.
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:10.720
But again, it was just like the what I said to Clayton was that they all were sitting down, like the Spider-Man team, the Superman team, and the Marvel head and the DC head are all sitting at a table, and the guy on the Spider-Man side's like, Well, well, we have this character.
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:13.279
Um, we really should put him in the book.
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:14.960
Uh his name's Paul.
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.440
Everybody likes him, or at least in the office.
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.240
Um, can we can we have him in here somewhere?
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:22.880
And they're like, Yeah, put him in the Punisher Power Girl book.
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:24.000
Like, no one's just put him.
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:24.559
I don't care.
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:24.880
Right.
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:26.799
Anyway, I'm done now.
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.839
My
rant's over.
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:28.559
Rant over.
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:32.240
Uh, my my third favorite story was the Lois Lane and Mary Jane story.
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.920
But I do have a problem with this story.
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:34.799
I do too.
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:38.799
So so the good thing about this story is that it is drawn by Jim Lee.
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:42.720
And Jim Lee does not do a whole lot of interiors, but Jim Lee's a great artist.
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:43.519
He's a great artist.
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:44.880
That was the first thing I said when I opened it.
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:46.720
It was like, oh, this is this is Jim Lee.
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:48.000
Oh, this is some good art.
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.920
However, this b begs the debate.
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:57.200
Does good art override a bad to decent story?
00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:59.039
And that's kind of what this is.
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:04.880
And I think that might be why this story ends up becoming my third favorite because Jim Lee's art alone.
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:10.240
But there are good moments here, and it's really, really a sentinel has attacked.
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:19.359
We don't know why, we don't know who or or what reason, but it's on a bridge, and Mary Jane and Lois Lane are, I guess, damsels in distress.
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:20.880
Not I mean, kind of.
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:27.839
They're like talking through it, and they're like, like, they're in a bus that's dangling from the bridge, and they're like, girl, you've been here before.
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.880
She's like, mm-hmm.
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:30.240
Like, this is normal for me.
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:31.039
Oh, did you die?
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:32.160
Oh, I've died a couple times.
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:32.720
How about you?
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:33.359
Multiple.
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:36.000
Yeah, the multi-like they're just ch which is cute.
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:37.279
I mean, it's like a cute girl.
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:38.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:47.039
And it is because I guess it's the only hope that we've had that Peter Parker and Mary Jane might be married somewhere out there in the multiverse.
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:47.759
I guess so.
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:49.920
Yeah, that's the only thing we'll get.
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:52.079
But so I guess there's that.
00:27:52.240 --> 00:28:01.359
But my biggest flaw with this story is, yeah, um, and and if you're going to do a story about Lois Lane and Mary Jane, like you kind of have to make Superman Spider-Man background characters.
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:01.920
And that's fine.
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:02.720
That's fine.
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:03.599
That's understandable.
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.000
And it's okay to have a story focused around these their significant others.
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:08.720
Right.
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:22.000
But the problem is that Superman and Spider-Man are so sidelined in this stick this story that a C-list character steals their spotlight and destroys the Sentinel that neither one of them could do.
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:25.039
And the C-list character is freaking Gambit.
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:25.519
Yes.
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:28.319
And he gets a freaking splash page.
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:30.400
A two-page splash panel.
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.079
They turn the it's a page turn, and he's just, it's this amazing artwork.
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:36.960
And the first thing I said was, Oh, so Jim Lee does a gambit.
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:39.119
I guess Jim Lee really wanted to draw Gambit this time.
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:43.119
Yeah, I think Jim Lee's like, oh, I haven't drawn the X-Men in 30 years.
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:43.519
Yeah.
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:45.119
What is what's the first thing I want to do?
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:46.000
I want to do Gambit.
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:46.720
Yeah, so I'm gonna do that.
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:51.440
It's the only, and if I remember correctly, it's there's only two splash pages in this whole book.
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:54.640
The first one is in the main story, and the second one is the gambit.
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:56.640
Is that I'm trying to think if there's any more.
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.559
I think that's the only splash page where it's on both pages.
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:06.559
Because there is one page, uh, especially in the Jonathan Kent, Ben Parker story, where it is the full page.
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.000
But yeah, I think this those are the only two, yeah, you're probably right.
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:14.000
But yeah, it's a full splash page of Gambit looking, I mean, looks badass.
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:14.240
Yeah.
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.720
But it's like, this is a Spider-Man Superman book.
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.599
Why isn't Jim Lee drawing Spider-Man and Superman looking awesome?
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:19.839
Yes.
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.240
Like, why aren't they why isn't there some big splash of them taking down the sentinel that looks super sick?
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:24.640
Right.
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:25.759
That's what we all want.
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:26.720
Not Gambit.
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.039
Oh, oh man, I hope Gambit gets his splash.
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.160
Whatever.
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:30.480
Yeah.
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:30.640
Okay.
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:31.920
Anyway, thanks, Jim Lee.
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.880
So moving on, story number four.
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.359
That was your third, right?
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:38.480
Yes, that was my third.
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:41.759
For me, my fourth was that in Lewis Lane.
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.880
So my fourth was the Superboy in Spider-Man 2999.
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.599
So we've talked about that.
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:46.480
We've talked about that, yep.
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:47.039
So moving
on.
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:48.319
Why was that your fourth?
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.599
Do you want to do you wanna dive?
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:51.599
Is it just because Superman was kind of sideless?
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:53.279
Superman was kind of sidelined.
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.799
It really was more of a Batman Beyond Spider-Man 2099 story.
00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:57.759
Why was he skinny?
00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:58.799
Superman was very skinny.
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:11.680
Because um, so there's a Silver Age series where Super Superboy, why well Superman while he's young, um, he travels back into he travels into the future with the Legion of Superheroes.
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:13.839
There's an old cartoon about this.
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:19.119
Um But Superman travels into the future and he joins the League of Superheroes for a little bit.
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:24.400
He goes on adventures with them, and really really it's a silver age thing.
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:28.240
Because they were big on time travel and future stuff at the time.
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:28.559
Yeah.
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:33.839
So that's it, because it's just a futuristic story, so that's why he ended up as Superboy in this story.
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.400
I got it.
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:34.640
Yeah.
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:40.880
So really not uh not a Superboy story, not a Superman story, but a Spider-Man 2099 and Batman Beyond.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:41.119
Yeah.
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.039
So that's why it gets down there.
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.519
So that was your That was number four for me.
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:47.759
That was number four for you, okay, and mine was Losley Mary J.
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:48.000
Yeah.
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:48.319
Number five.
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.920
Number five was Superboy Prime and Amazing Spider-Man.
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:54.000
Okay, so both of us have this as number five.
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:55.359
Yeah, we both have it as five.
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:55.759
Okay.
00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:57.279
Let me ask you why.
00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:58.720
Why is it number five for you?
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:03.599
Um I so first of all, I like the story premise premise.
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:06.000
I think it's really cool that it's all like a fourth wall break.
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:08.880
And I didn't even know much about Superboy until you told me.
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:12.559
Because I was like, oh, okay, so he's a you know, he's a fourth wall breaking character.
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.279
And I think that's cool because he he there's some great quotes in this book.
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:15.920
Yes, there is.
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:23.039
There's the one where it's like, um, yeah, your entire your entire life story is in a long box in my attic.
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:24.640
That's such a cool line.
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:25.839
Like, that's such a great line.
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.759
And then like there there was another one.
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:30.559
Um maybe it was in a different yeah, bruh.
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:32.319
Like, he's gotta take the L.
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:33.200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:46.720
Um, but uh the only reason was because um this also falls into the category of why a lot of these stories didn't didn't get me to be continued.
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:50.079
To be continued, which we'll I we we I think we both we have, we don't know.
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.039
I don't know if we we agree, but I think we agree.
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:53.759
I think we do.
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:58.000
Um it falls into that, and also it it's a lot going on.
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:03.279
It gets it it once they kind of get to the uh who's the guy that they're fighting in the high evolution.
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:07.200
The high evolutionary, once they run into him, it's just kind of like all over the place.
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:08.319
And I kind of got lost.
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:08.720
Yeah.
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.039
Yeah, I kind of I kind of got lost right there.
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:19.599
It's yeah, and for me, I don't know why High Evolutionary is the main villain between um we're gonna call them multiverses.
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:32.640
It's comic books, and because Superboy Prime is like stuck in this universe where he can only go between comic books, he can't go outside of comic books, yeah, kinda, and high evolutionary for some reason is the villain, but that doesn't make any sense to me.
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:45.279
Um because high evolutionary is more focused on well, evolution, and why is he in, let's say, like a a blank space?
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:50.559
Because that's a I guess that's a bad choice of words, but like in between multiverses.
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:51.279
Why is he there?
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.119
He has nothing to do with multiverse stuff.
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:55.839
So that was my problem, but you're right.
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.279
So it's cool when it begins, and the art is great for that story.
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:00.319
He's got the black suit.
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.240
I love that he's got the I don't know if it's the symbiote or if it's I think it's just the cloth one.
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:05.839
Okay, yeah, because he was talking to it.
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:07.440
And Spider Man's like, why are you talking to it?
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:11.440
Yeah, yeah, because but I wish that it was the symbiote because it'd have been like, oh, you don't know yet.
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:11.680
Right.
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:12.960
You know, and he's like, No what?
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:13.920
Uh, you'll figure it out.
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:14.640
Right, right, right.
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:17.039
You know, like that would have been cool, but you know.
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:23.519
Yeah, because Superboy Prime, I was telling Paul, in case
you're not familiar with Superboy Prime, got sucked in.
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:28.400
He's from our world where there are no superheroes, and we just read about their lives in comic books.
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:28.799
Yeah.
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:40.400
And he gets sucked into a comic book, and I can't remember exactly how, so maybe somebody in the comment section somewhere on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, wherever you listen, yes, uh, can comment and correct us.
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:48.079
But he gets sucked into a comic book, and he his name's Clark Kent, so he ends up getting the powers of Superman in this comic book universe.
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.359
So he can also break the fourth wall because he knows he's in a comic book.
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:52.000
Right.
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:57.200
But my point with that is to say it's it gets messy.
00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:58.400
It really does.
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:04.559
And for people who like you who don't know who Superboy Prime is, that can get confusing.
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:06.480
Like, why are they jumping between comic books?
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:13.920
Cool fourth wall moment, cool tie back to the 80s when both of these characters were cool, but yeah, why?
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.719
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.519
So it was just a mid story, it was just yeah, it was mid.
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:21.119
And there's a lot of like modern day slang in this stuff.
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.000
Yeah, because he says like he sang bruh a lot.
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:25.840
He says like take the L.
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:26.239
Yeah.
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:31.599
He says something else that was like, oh, so like this is for the cool the kids nowadays.
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:31.760
Yeah.
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:33.920
And I don't like when comics do that.
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:34.559
I don't either.
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.679
I it I don't like brain rotten my comics.
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:41.679
But also, like, did they did our books kind of have that?
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.000
Like, did the original Ultimate Spider-Man kind of have that?
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:48.159
Because I remember like you read it and you see like hanky panky and like stuff like that.
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:48.639
Yeah.
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:52.800
But like, I don't know, like, I think it's I think we're getting older, Clayton.
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:53.840
I think we're getting old.
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:57.519
Man, I don't want to talk about this because I'm getting close to 30.
00:34:57.760 --> 00:34:59.519
Yeah, and you're about to have a baby.
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:10.239
The the owner of the comic book store we both shop at, like, when I when I go in there and I'm complaining about how much I hate Venom, she's like, Yeah, um, that's what all the she's like, oh, you're getting old.
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:11.360
And I'm like, what does that mean?
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:15.840
She's like, well, usually when you get older, you start going, oh, the comics ain't just like how they used to be.
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:17.760
And I'm like, dang it, I'm getting old.
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:20.000
Diana, if you're listening, you have a point.
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:20.639
Got a point.
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.599
I never wanted to admit that you have a point, but you have a point.
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:24.239
You have a point.
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:25.199
Point for Diana.
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.760
All right, so moving on, story number six.
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:31.760
For me as Punisher and Power Girl.
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:33.840
For me, it was Jonathan Kent and Ben Parker.
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:35.199
Okay, we already talked about both of those.
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:36.239
We talked about both of those, yep.
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:37.519
Story number seven.
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.800
Uh JJ versus LL.
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:41.280
LL.
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:41.840
J.
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:44.000
John Jameson versus Lois Lane.
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:53.360
It was number seven for me because it's not a high action issue, and it's really just the debate on it's really Lois Lane asking J.
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:55.039
Joan Jameson why don't you like Spider-Man?
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.199
Yeah, it's literally, and he's like, because he's a menace.
00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:59.280
And she's like, it's because he's wearing the mask, isn't he?
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:02.960
Well, because he's like talking great about the Fantastic Four and like Captain America.
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:04.880
America, Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman, even Superman.
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:05.519
Even Superman.
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:09.199
And he's just like, Well, Spider-Man's a menace because you know, we print good print.
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:11.519
And you know, I think the art's great.
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:21.039
There's a there's a there's a panel of Spider-Man hanging, he's in the studio upside down in the lights, and the I like I read that and I saw that art, and I was like, man, Spider-Man looks so good.
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.760
Yeah I wish he was like fighting people, but he wasn't.
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:30.480
Yeah, and this goes back to our ultimate Spider-Man conversation, but not tying it back too much because I don't want to talk about that book.
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:35.599
But like dialogue needs to progress the story, and it does here.
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:37.840
So like the dialogue does serve a purpose.
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.039
It is good here.
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:48.480
It's just I need ah, this is this is gonna tie into future conversation here in just a minute when we finish out our rankings.
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:49.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:50.719
Yeah, we agree, we agree.
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:51.440
Okay, okay.
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:52.000
I'm excited.
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.760
So our final story, number eight, our least favorite story on the book.
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:57.280
Jimmy Olson and Carnage.
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:00.480
Well, you want to say why you didn't like it, why it was your least favorite?
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:02.159
Why?
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:03.440
Why did they do it?
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:05.039
Why didn't you what is the point of this?
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:11.519
Because it's it's it's you know, it's Jimmy Olsen at the Daily Bugle, and there's some guy dead on the couch.
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:16.400
I'm saying he's dead, but he's literally in both in the beginning of the book and the end of the book.
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:23.760
He's just laying there like sleeping, and it's like it's like at first he's like, Oh, it's just some guy, he's heard all this before, and then by the end of the book, you're like, oh no, he's dead.
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.960
Um didn't notice that, did you?
00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:27.920
I did.
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:34.880
You know, like maybe it's like uh because Matt Faction wrote this story, maybe it's like a meta joke about something we just don't understand.
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:35.760
Maybe, maybe.
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:37.119
It could be like an inside joke.
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.079
Yeah, maybe he's just like he's bored by his own story.
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:47.280
Um, but Jimmy Olsen, he's like, Well, I gotta take pictures of the Spider-Man guy for J Juno Jameson.
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:50.559
I don't know what I'm like, what does he even look like?
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:53.920
Yeah, and like, because but he calls him Spider Hyphen Man.
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:54.159
Yeah.
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:59.440
And Peter is like, no, call and he's got like Mary Jane on one arm and Gwen on the other, or Black Cat.
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:00.480
I think that's Black Cat.
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.360
Yeah, which is weird.
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:05.519
Okay, again, Matt Fraction's story can sometimes be very meta.
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:10.639
And I think that's uh that's a joke on how many girlfriends Peter Parker has had in the comics.
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:11.519
I get it.
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.239
But that's also not Peter Parker.
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.400
Yeah, that's not, he's not like a cool guy.
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:18.079
Yeah, you know, he's not Hugh Hefner.
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:19.119
Yeah, he's not, he's not.
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:24.159
And so the thing was was that he's like, oh, he's he's he's red.
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:28.480
Or no, MJ says he's gooey, he's red, and stringy.
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:32.800
Or he's stringy and he's red, and he's uh it's yeah, yeah, something like that.
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:36.719
And so Jimmy, and they're like, Jimmy Olson, don't, don't say spider hyphen man.
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:37.920
It look makes you look like a Taurus.
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:39.519
Also, don't go down any alleys.
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:45.280
Well, the first thing he does is he goes down an alley because he sees gooey red everywhere, and there's like a severed foot in the alley.
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:46.320
And who's in the alley?
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:51.679
It's Carnage, which I at first when I saw that cover, I was like, Jimmy Olsen and Carnage, that's a weird.
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:53.039
I'm surprised I didn't buy that variant.
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:54.079
Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't either.
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:55.119
But I didn't like the art.
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.119
The art was very it was very minimalist.
00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:57.360
Yeah.
00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:58.159
And I'm just like, eh.
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:03.440
Like if it was like intense or like or if it was like Clayton Crane, like, oh, I'd be all over it.
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:06.000
Um probably might have even got a higher rating.
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.000
I think the art really lowered the rating.
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:14.880
But like he goes in the alleyway, he carnage cartoonly beats him up and almost kills him.
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.119
Yeah, and then I guess he gets one final shot and then dies.
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:25.199
Yeah, because and Jameson's like, I love it! He got Spider-Man looking like an absolute monster.
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:25.840
This is great.
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:28.639
And it's like, but that's not Spider-Man, that's Carnage.
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:33.039
Yeah, and and the Superman watch failing because it has to have a system update.
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:35.519
Yeah, it has to have a system update, and he's like, oh fuh.
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:37.039
Oh fuge.
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:38.000
And he dies.
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:39.519
And I didn't say fudge.
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:41.679
Yeah, and then he then literally Carnage kills him.
00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:44.480
The paper goes live, and the guy is still on the couch dead.
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:46.079
Um, and that's it.
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:46.800
That is it.
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.280
It's literally like, why?
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:52.239
Which brings us to our ultimate conversation.
00:39:52.559 --> 00:40:00.960
Yeah, I think I think, yeah, and again, we have not like I'm excited to talk to you about this because I was like, I have the comment about the whole book as a whole, but I don't want to say it.
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:02.960
And he goes, I and you said like I do too.
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:04.239
Yeah, let's save it.
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:05.440
Well, we're gonna say it now.
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:06.079
So let's say it.
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:12.320
So um I think ever there's no need to have this many stories in the book because all of them are cut short.
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:14.320
All of them, yes, exactly.
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:16.639
All of these stories suffer from being too short.
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:17.360
Yes.
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:27.760
And if even the main story, even the main story, we both put it number one, it was longer than the rest of the stories, but they're all there's no time for to flesh any of this out.
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:40.400
There's no if you wanted to do honestly, you know, people would buy if you did DC Marvel crossovers, you gave each one of these a 30-page comic, people would buy these issues.
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:41.679
Oh, I I I agree.
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:45.920
Yeah, but especially scalpers who are like, this is gonna be what something's gonna be or something.
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:47.199
We're gonna buy it all and tell it.
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:54.639
But give give each of these teams a full-length story to tell the story, and it would have been ten times better.
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:57.360
But that's the problem this book lacks, in my opinion.
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:16.320
Yeah, and the same thing that the when they did the Batman Deadpool story, there was only one of those stories that really I think had time to flesh out in those, and it really would have helped each one of these to have more time to flesh out because none of this should have been I'm not asking for a full on arc, though that would be amazing for something like this.
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:23.840
I'd love that, but even a one, one, a full one-shot would really give this time to breathe.
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:25.599
Yeah, I that's that's what I think.
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:28.559
I think the the first story should have been the whole book.
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:28.880
Yeah.
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.000
Especially if you're gonna have a jumbo-sized book, make it a bigger story.
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:45.599
Yeah, but there's I don't think there's any need to tell all of these stories because again, the reason like you know, Jonathan Kent and Ben Parker was your second story, it was my sixth because I I just I don't know.
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:47.119
It it was cut short.
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:47.599
It was.
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:50.800
It was just like, okay, they're doing this thing, they saved somebody and it's over.
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:51.119
Yeah.
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:54.800
And then there's like, you know, the like um, what is it?
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:57.760
Like the the Superboy, the Superboy Prime and Spider-Man.
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:02.480
The first thing I said was um like when it ended, I was like, oh, that's it.
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:03.119
Yep, you did.
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:05.119
That was literally the first thing I said was like, oh, it's over already.
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:05.360
Yeah.
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:10.880
It it's just as soon as the story starts to go somewhere, it literally just stops, like a train hitting a wall.
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:12.159
We can't go over that page count.
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:13.440
Yep, we can't go over the page count.
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:21.599
And like, you know, I just think that you know, stories like Jimmy Olsen and Carnage is not necessary.
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:32.079
No, you know, like all these other stories are cool, but give us a Superman Spider-Man book and just be like, if if I was in the office when they were making this, the first thing I would say was is we don't need all these stories.
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:32.480
No.
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:34.000
We need like maybe two.
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:34.480
Right.
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:38.960
You could have a small story at the very end, but there the keep this Superman Spider-Man.
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:41.119
Because the rest of these stories are not Superman Spider-Man.
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:51.280
It's like, you know, it's Jonathan Kent and Ben Parker, it's Lois Lane and Mary Jane, or it's alternate Spider-Man and Alternate Superman, or you know, another alternate Spider-Man, another alternate Superman.
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:52.960
Well, what about Punisher and Power Girl?
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:55.599
Which honestly, like, I like that story, and I rated it third.
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:56.639
I'm kind of regretting that.
00:42:56.880 --> 00:42:57.599
Because of Paul.
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:01.039
Well, not only that, but because like, why Punisher and Power Girl?
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:01.280
Yeah.
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:07.679
They're just uh like it's like it's like they're more concerned with like okay, it it kind of feels like Ultimate Spider-Man a little bit.
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:11.920
They're concerned with all the other toys, but not the main toys that should be working together, right?
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:14.000
It's like, well, what about this character and this character?
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:16.000
What what how would these two characters interact?
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:21.440
It's like focus on how Spider-Man and Superman would interact, and all the other characters can interact within their story.
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:26.320
You and I have have that's a good way to put it, all your toys.
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:33.440
But you and I have never sat down and had a conversation and said, Man, what would Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson do if they ever met each other?
00:43:33.679 --> 00:43:33.920
Yeah.
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:39.599
We have always if we've talked, it's always been what would Spider-Man and Superman do if they met?
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:39.920
Yeah.
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:46.239
We've never said, man, one thing I really wish I had from DC and Marvel is a Jimmy Olsen carnage story.
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:46.639
Yeah.
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:47.360
That's what I mean.
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:49.199
These are stories that nobody has ever asked.
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:51.280
The Batman Beyond the Spider-Man 2099.
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:52.480
That's the one I've been asking for.
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:53.440
We have been asking for that.
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:56.239
Its own book.
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:56.719
Yeah.
00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:59.360
But but these other stories, nobody's ever.
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:01.440
And I know that's the argument.
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:02.639
Nobody asked for this.
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:03.199
Yeah.
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:05.519
But we we did.
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:08.880
And and that doesn't mean that it can't be a good story if nobody asked for it.
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:09.280
Right.
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:12.559
But the story we want is the story we got.
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:14.719
We j you get it's like a one and done.
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:15.199
Right.
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:21.119
And it's like we could have spent the time reading all of these, like you know, other seven other stories.
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:26.880
You get the first one, but then the other seven, it's like that could have been more of the first one, which we both liked a lot of.
00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:27.840
I don't know.
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:36.639
I just I So since they started doing these Marvel DC crossovers last year with Batman and Deadpool, they've done Batman and Deadpool, Deadpool and Batman.
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:41.519
They've done a Flash and Fantastic Four that's only on digital.
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:42.960
Oh, I didn't even know they did that.
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:46.000
Yeah, and they did a Thor and Shazam that's also only on digital.
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:47.599
Okay, didn't know that either.
00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:50.639
And then of course Superman Spider-Man.
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:51.039
Yeah.
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.719
And all of these, all of these stories suffer from being too short.
00:44:54.880 --> 00:45:05.280
And another problem I have with these stories is something that I remember reading in a comic a long time ago when they did the original crossovers, but I've not quite been able to find what issue it appears in.
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:10.480
But they never explain they they just assume now that these characters live in the same universe.
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:14.960
Yeah, they just they're just like Spider-Man's all of a sudden in Metropolis.
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:15.360
Right.
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:15.760
Right?
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:22.480
Or Spider-Man 2099 is all of a sudden in Gotham 2099, or what or whatever year it 2039 or whatever even yeah it is.
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:29.039
Yeah, it's just it's like they're taking one person and just like throwing it in the other air in their book, and then it's just like, yep, figure it out.
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:38.639
Yeah, and I and I wish if a story had more time to breathe, which I wish these did, you could explain why is this the same universe now?
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:44.960
Is this an alternate universe where these just characters just exist in the same universe but have never interacted until this point?
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:46.559
I find that hard to believe.
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:56.800
And like I I want to take a little side tangent for a minute because um one of
the books I sat out, we have a little all of our books are sitting around, is the Marvel team up Invincible Spider-Man.
00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:57.119
Yes.
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.880
Um, real quick because like um as a crossover done, right?
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:01.519
It was a crossover.
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:04.719
Yeah, it was a very good crossover because it was Invincible.
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:10.800
It's it's from his book where he goes into Spider-Man's universe, but in the Invincible book, it's just like one panel.
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:11.119
Right.
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:16.320
But this, it's like he's in there, the door closes, and Invincible's talking to Spider-Man, like, hey, like what's going on?
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:19.199
And he helps Spider-Man out and they kind of talk it out.
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:32.480
But it's so good because it feels like it's it's it feels like they're welcoming Invincible into the universe, and he kind of fits in a little bit, but also doesn't, and they're kind of talking about stuff, and Spider-Man's like, well, you know, this is kind of how I look at being a hero.
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:35.039
Like, that's that's what I feel like this should have been.
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:35.679
Yes, right.
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:36.159
I agree.
00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:40.880
And I would love to see like you know, Peter learn some stuff from Superman, but also Superman learned some stuff from Peter.
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:41.199
Right.
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:46.000
Like I think that that that would be really cool, but again, it it it was so rushed, and I hate that.
00:46:46.079 --> 00:47:05.199
Like, I hate that we're rushing it because um, as I mentioned earlier, my favorite crossover is Spider-Man Batman because they do the little trope of like the villain swapping, but at the same time, you get to see the villains work together, and you actually see them like Carnage talks to Joker about like, oh, like why are you doing all this nonsense?
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:07.039
Like just kill him and just be done with it.
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:10.320
Yeah, you know, and then you see like Batman and Spider-Man kind of talk.
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:15.920
It it it fleshes those moments out more that this book doesn't have time to do because it's so quick, right?
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:16.400
You know?
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:19.360
So that's my opinion on it personally.
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:26.880
It is, and honestly, I guess the question is, is it worth$9.99?
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:31.360
You know, I think because we're getting what eight stories?
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:31.840
Yeah.
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:33.679
That's almost a dollar a story.
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:38.960
I mean, it's not bad.
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:44.079
You know, when I bought I compared this to Venom 200 because that was what,$9.99 when it came out?
00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:48.079
And that was a couple that was four last years.
00:47:48.559 -->
00:47:49.360
Four or five years ago?
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:49.840
Oh wow.
00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:50.639
Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:52.320
Venom 200's been out for a long time.
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:53.760
Um that was a long time ago.
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.679
Um, but it was like, you know, a big finale and it was worth it.
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:02.159
Especially me who bought all 20 variants and spent$300 at the comic book store that day.
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:08.559
Um, but uh I don't uh what do you think?
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:18.400
I gave I give this book for all the hype it had, for all the excitement I had for it, I still love every cover.
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:20.719
I give it a solid seven out of ten.
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:21.199
Okay.
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:26.000
So I say, would I pay$9.99 for it again?
00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:27.199
Probably not.
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:28.719
Would I pay five dollars?
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:30.159
Sure, I'll pay five dollars.
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:33.840
But ten dollars can go a long way in today's world, kind of.
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:36.079
It could buy you a gallon of milk and that's pretty much it.
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:38.800
But yeah, yeah, it's a third of my gas state.
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:40.079
Yeah, it's a third of the gas, yeah.
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:42.719
So yeah, I would pay five dollars for it.
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:44.639
I don't think I would pay$9.99 for it.
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:46.239
Yeah, it's it was okay.
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:47.280
Because yeah.
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:49.360
Not bad, not great.
00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:50.480
Just okay.
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.679
Is it is it bad that I think the covers are better than the actual book?
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:55.360
Oh, I I'm thinking that right now.
00:48:55.519 --> 00:49:01.840
Like we're both looking at our covers, and I'm just like, I I'm getting more enjoyment looking at the cover art than I was actually reading the book.
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:02.159
Yeah.
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:03.840
Which is interesting.
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:15.519
It is, it is a let let the lotto do a inside story of just the black suit and Superman in his black costume coming back, and they're both kind of like a little bit darker.
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:16.239
Yeah, yeah.
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:18.480
But also, we're getting a part two to this.
00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:21.679
We are, so maybe the Marvel version will be better.
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:34.480
Maybe that hurts that hurts because I think of what Marvel has done with Spider-Man so far, and I'm like, no, we're definitely, we are definitely, I'm gonna put money on it now.
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:38.079
We are definitely going to get Paul in that story somehow.
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:38.800
How much do you want?
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:39.679
What do you want to bet on it?
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:40.960
Let's make it, let's do something.
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:41.440
Let's do something.
00:49:41.519 --> 00:49:45.440
We gotta I'll buy you dinner one night before we record.
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:49.679
So whatever you want, anywhere from ten dollars to if he's in it.
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:50.320
If he's in it.
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:52.800
I'm betting that right now that he's gonna be in it.
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:53.360
Okay.
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:58.639
If I'll buy you dinner from wherever you Well, but also we both agree that he we probably won't be in it.
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:00.400
I'll tell you what, okay, I'll throw you one too.
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:00.719
Okay.
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:05.679
If Venom, I think Venom and Superman are gonna get a story in Spider-Man's.
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:07.039
I could almost guarantee that.
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:08.400
I I I yeah.
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:12.079
So if that's the case, I will buy you dinner.
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:14.239
And if we're both right, then I guess we'll just buy each other dinner.
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:15.760
We'll just buy each other dinner and have a great time.
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:17.440
We'll go in and just get a big meal.
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:17.679
Yeah.
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:20.480
And we'll eat before the show and be like, oh, well, we were both right.
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:22.480
Our bellies are so full.
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:25.599
Yeah, I I or yeah.
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:28.079
Or if neither one of them are in it, we just starve.
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:30.159
We just starve for a whole week.
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:36.559
And my wife makes dinner and I'm like, I'm sorry, I lost a bed, I can't eat.
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:39.519
Yeah, Paul wasn't in the book.
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:41.519
I can't eat, I'm sorry.
00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:44.639
And then Elisa's like, hey, uh, what do you want to do for dinner?
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:45.440
Uh nothing.
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:47.920
Venom wasn't in the book, I can't eat.
00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:51.840
But yeah, we'll get a part two to this, so hopefully that will be better.
00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:54.800
I I mean, I'm I'm this was an exciting book.
00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:55.920
It was an exciting release.
00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:58.239
Are you are you disappointed at all with it?
00:50:58.320 --> 00:50:59.840
Because you seem like you're a little disappointed.
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:07.599
I I'm I'm really, really, really conflicted because there are great moments, and I I wouldn't say I'm disappointed.
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:08.079
Okay.
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:09.199
I I wouldn't say that.
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:13.599
Because there are great moments, and I get to see these two characters interact uh again.
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:18.159
It's nice to see them interacting in a more modern kind of again.
00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:28.639
The the the last one was fifty years ago, so it's still I would say silver age, kind of bronze age, so it's still the
let's check on what our heroes are doing at this moment.
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:29.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:32.079
Which was the Jimmy Olsen comic in this one, so we didn't escape that.
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:33.360
We but No, we didn't.
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:35.840
But we got to see them interact in a modern setting.
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:37.840
Um, the art is incredible.
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:40.000
The art's very amazing art.
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:47.039
That's what we agree with, is that that's why I wanted to shout out the artists who worked on this, because I think every artist put in their A game.
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:47.440
Yeah.
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:49.360
Um, so I'll give them that.
00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:49.920
Yeah.
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:56.800
Um The stories, I could have if if you would have given me just three of these stories, I think I would have still been happy.
00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:58.400
And I I don't think the stories are bad.
00:51:58.639 --> 00:51:59.920
No, they're not going to be able to do that.
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:01.840
You know, like the stories are interesting.
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:11.360
Even the the Mary Jane and Lois Lane, like my my big tiff with that issue is the fact that it's um is the fact that uh Gambit gets a freaking splash page.
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:11.920
That's my big complaint.
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:12.639
That's my big complaint.
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:20.400
And that they're and like I and person honestly, I feel like, and I feel like a lot of our uh Instagram commenters are gonna be like, wait a minute.
00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:26.719
Um I think if they were sitting down at a restaurant and having this conversation, I would have enjoyed it more.
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:27.920
Is that bad?
00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:33.039
Because there's a variant cover of them too on a roof, on a roof balcony talking.
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:37.280
I think it would have been cooler if they Okay, I sorry idea, right?
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:37.440
Yeah.
00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:45.119
What if they were sitting on the roof and they're having dinner and they're like, and and she's like, and like they're either in New York, I think it'd be cool if they were in New York, right?
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:46.480
To bring Superman to New York.
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:50.320
And they're like, you know, oh, you know, MJ's like, well, what brings you to New York?
00:52:50.480 --> 00:53:04.000
Well, you know, uh Clark's got this thing going on, and you know, um, or like like she doesn't know, or she's not gonna tell MJ that that Superman is Clark, and spy they're both fighting a sentinel or some big monster in the background, right?
00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:11.119
And everybody on this balcony gets up and leaves because they're terrified, but they're just sitting there like, uh, like, you don't want to get up?
00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:12.000
No, I'm okay.
00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:12.800
Yeah, okay.
00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:21.199
And then like the the last part of the story is like they've beat the monster in the background, and they've and MJ's like, is that Clark?
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:22.639
Yeah, yeah, is that Peter?
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:23.119
Mm-hmm.
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:24.000
Like, I don't know.
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:32.159
I feel like that would have been just a it would have been more because for two characters like like and again commenters, yeah.
00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:34.480
Hold on, hold your breath.
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:40.800
Like, these two characters should be having a sit-down area with the battle in the background.
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:40.960
Right.
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:46.960
Because we're see we want to see their story and we want to see that for once, and have that little entertainment in the background.
00:53:47.119 --> 00:54:01.760
Um, but if they were all sitting down for a whole issue, it'd be you know, but it it's you're getting like a comedic view of it, like you're seeing them fight, and then you see both girls realize like, ah, that's why we're so calm right now, and that's like because we're used to this, we know they're gonna win, right?
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:02.639
Everything's fine.
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:03.440
It I don't know.
00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:04.480
I I would have preferred that.
00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:05.760
I would have preferred that too.
00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:11.199
But I would have twisted the story just a little bit and that they've actually known each other and they're actually friends.
00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:11.760
Okay.
00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:14.159
And and that they're like, so how you been?
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:15.119
Oh, I've been good.
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:19.440
Survive like another crisis, and yeah, you know, like they they know.
00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:23.519
Um and it feels like they uh they definitely know each other in this.
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:31.039
Um but they also don't ever hint at like it's just oh I've been through another crisis lately.
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:32.800
Yeah, and and me too.
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:33.360
Did you die?
00:54:33.519 --> 00:54:34.320
Yeah, I died.
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:34.880
What about you?
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:36.559
Oh, of course, girl, you know, yeah.
00:54:36.639 --> 00:54:38.639
And I but your story is is is great too.
00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:40.800
And I I think well, and I think like that would be cool too.
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:45.039
Yeah, like maybe, maybe like the Superman thing is the surprise.
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:50.239
And then and then like that could be like the halfway point of the book, and then the rest of the book they could be talking like, so how do you deal with this?
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:53.119
Like when he leaves in the middle of a date, like does that not bother you?
00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:56.320
Yeah, it does bother me, but also like those moments, you know.
00:54:56.559 --> 00:54:59.920
And
you know, there was a mention in that story uh where they talk.
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:00.800
We should write a book.
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:01.440
We should.
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:02.079
We should.
00:55:02.239 --> 00:55:03.039
We just need an artist.
00:55:03.119 --> 00:55:10.719
So if you're an aspiring artist out there, hey Nick, um Dragata, can you do can you can you hit us up and we you draw our book?
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:11.679
We're we're still working on it.
00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:12.480
We're working on it right now.
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:13.199
Brainstorming.
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:14.079
Yeah, we're brainstorming.
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:18.800
But Nick Dragotta's like, no, I shall steal this and put this for the next one.
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:20.239
It's alright.
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:21.519
I don't think you do that, Nick Dragata.
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:22.559
Yeah, no, no, yeah.
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:29.760
Uh, but but anyways, I I they hinted at like having kids and like what's it like being married and being a superhero?
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:31.119
They hinted at that in the story.
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:31.440
Yeah.
00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:32.880
But I don't know.
00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:33.840
I'm not disappointed.
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:34.800
Are you disappointed?
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:35.599
I'm not.
00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:36.159
I'm not.
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:44.480
I I I I am disappointed in Marvel just because it's like, or whoever well, I guess this is D Seymour, right?
00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:45.280
This is DC Moore.
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:45.920
DC Moore.
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:47.039
Well, I'm gonna collaborate.
00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:49.519
I'm disappointed that they cut all the stories short.
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:51.440
You know, that's what I'm the most disappointed.
00:55:51.760 --> 00:55:53.599
But you know, we got Superman Spider-Man.
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:54.559
I think that's really cool.
00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:55.679
The covers are great.
00:55:56.480 --> 00:55:58.239
I keep staring at the Clayton Crane cover.
00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:00.400
Like when I meet him, if I'm because I've met him.
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:01.760
You met him several times.
00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:03.119
I've met him like five or six times.
00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:04.079
I met him a lot.
00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:07.119
Um if I see him again, this is definitely a cover I'll get him to sign.
00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:07.280
Yeah.
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:09.039
Because I've never got him to sign something cool like this.
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:13.280
Like this reminds me a lot of the Punisher uh Iron War Machine cover.
00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:14.480
Because it's a bright, hopefully.
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:22.000
You know, um it reminds me of the uh the cover he did with Spider-Man with the American flag draped around his back.
00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:23.039
Oh, that's such a cool cover.
00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:26.159
Yeah, you can't get that freaking thing anywhere.
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:28.719
Yeah, the Carnage one you can, but the Spider-Man one, no.
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:31.360
So, speaking of Spider-Man, Superman Spider-Man.
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:32.559
Oh, yes.
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:33.360
Ooh.
00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:36.960
Even better Spider-Man content.
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:37.519
Yes.
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.239
Uh let's talk about the trailer, the brand new day trailer.
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:41.599
Brand new day trailer.
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:44.960
Um you I led with Superman Spider-Man, so you lead with this one.
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:47.119
Okay, so first of all, I'm really excited about this trailer.
00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:48.639
I want to talk about the cinematography first.
00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:49.039
Oh, yeah.
00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:51.119
The cinematography on this trailer is insane.
00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:52.000
It's so good.
00:56:52.239 --> 00:56:55.119
You get um you I I love the shot.
00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:57.280
My favorite shot so far is the inside the mask.
00:56:57.519 --> 00:56:58.000
Inside the mask.
00:56:58.239 --> 00:56:58.960
When you see his eye.
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.360
Dude, let me just say this real quick about that.
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:10.719
So everybody I have talked to about the trailer, everybody, whether they're a hardcore superhero fan or not, like my dad, he's just he just likes the movies.
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:15.360
He's read a few comic books here and there, but like never been hard out as hardcore into it as I am.
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:15.760
Yeah, yeah.
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:19.039
The first thing he said to me was that shot inside the mask.
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:19.519
Yeah.
00:57:19.679 --> 00:57:22.639
Like everybody is talking about that shot because that is incredible.
00:57:22.719 --> 00:57:23.440
We've never seen that.
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:25.199
We've never seen a shot like that before.
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:33.920
And I love the um one of the things I love is I love that we're getting a more cloudy day type vibe in the city, right?
00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:42.880
You can tell, like Peter's, you know, he's checking their Instagram their Instagram profile, and they're talking about how excited they are to go to MIT.
00:57:43.119 --> 00:57:53.360
And MJ's and and Ned says to MJ, like, pretend like you've never been happier in your life, and she's like, I can't, you know, and it's so it's like, oh, because you know, she doesn't remember Peter.
00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:57.280
And he and he closes his phone and he puts the mask on and then he just drops off the building.
00:57:57.599 --> 00:58:00.239
And it's just like, gotta go back to being Spider-Man, yeah.
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:10.639
You know, and and this, I hope this movie does what the previous home trilogy movies didn't do, because in Spider-Man Homecoming, Spider-Man was very excited.
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:12.559
He was always just like
wanting to be Spider-Man, right?
00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:14.559
Spider-Man Far From Home, he wasn't.
00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:16.000
He was like wanting to go on vacation.
00:58:16.079 --> 00:58:18.719
He's like, I don't really want to do Spider-Man stuff right now, I don't really want to do it.
00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:26.000
And like then Spider-Man No Way Home, he was so focused on getting into college and he he did the Spider-Man stuff, but it wasn't uh, you know.
00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:28.960
This is like he's leaning on being Spider-Man more.
00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:31.199
That's all that's that's all he has.
00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:34.079
And he's just like, Okay, I gotta put the mask on.
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:36.880
Like, let me let me go swing and take my thoughts off all this.
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:38.320
I'm so excited to see that.
00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:43.360
Yeah, we're getting Frank Castle as the Punisher, we're getting uh Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk.
00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:47.280
Now, my friend actually, my friend Justin, he gave me a really good opinion on this.
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:50.480
He said, I don't like that Hulk's there, that should be Dr.
00:58:50.559 --> 00:58:51.119
Connors.
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:54.000
And when he said that, I was like, I agree.
00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:56.239
You know, I think that would have been way cooler.
00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:58.320
Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:05.360
But because the reason he's there is because Sony has that deal in the contract where they have to include an Avengers character in every Spider-Man film.
00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:05.920
Really?
00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:06.719
I did not know that.
00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:17.920
In their contract, uh they have to that's why every movie, you know, Iron Man was in Homecoming, Nick Fury was in Far From Home, uh Doctor Strange was in No Way Home, and now Bruce Banners.
00:59:18.159 --> 00:59:18.800
He just blew my mind.
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:23.760
Yeah, that in their contract, uh they Marvel says that or Sony, it's either Sony or Marvel.
00:59:23.840 --> 00:59:24.639
I don't know who made the deal.
00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:24.880
Yeah.
00:59:25.119 --> 00:59:29.760
But for Marvel to make the movies, they have to include one main line adventure character in every film.
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:31.119
I don't agree with that.
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:38.800
No, I think like as a main character, that's why like you know, Doctor Strange has a pivotal, like all those characters have pivotal roles in all the movies.
00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:42.719
It can't just be like a oh yeah, I'm Bruce Banner, yeah, you're transforming, and that's it.
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:45.119
You know, um what were you gonna say?
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:45.440
I'm sorry.
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:46.639
No, no, no, no.
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:49.760
I was gonna say, I well, I guess Punisher counts too.
00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:54.559
But Punish because they've talked
more about Punisher being in the film than they have the Hulk.
00:59:54.719 --> 01:00:00.400
So I think I really think Bruce Banner will have a small role, and I think the Punisher will have a much bigger role.
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:01.039
I hope.
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.000
I would rather see him have a bigger role than than Hulk.
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:08.320
And and uh if it's Hulk, I I don't want smart Hulk, I want Monster Hulk.
01:00:08.559 --> 01:00:16.320
I'm ready to see yeah, I'm ready to see Rage Out Hulk because you know, I just uh But unfortunately I think we are gonna get Professor Hulk again.
01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:22.159
Yeah, probably he's got the I notice he's got the thing on his hand that lets him transform that was he wore in She-Hulk, I think.
01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:25.119
Yeah, because it he can transform with that thing.
01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:25.679
Right.
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:35.360
So I think I think we're gonna get Professor Hulk because I think they're gonna do the panel where Hulk remembers that Spider-Man is Peter Parker, but Bruce Banner does not.
01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:38.239
Well, but also when he's Professor Hulk, he's not a different personality.
01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:39.280
He's still Bruce Banner.
01:00:39.519 --> 01:00:42.079
That's true, but but in the panel, Hulk does remember.
01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:44.159
Yeah, I've seen that comic panel.
01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:44.639
Yeah, yeah.
01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:47.599
I think I that would be cool, and I hope that we get Monster.
01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:50.079
I just I just read I'd rather we have Monster Hulk.
01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:51.599
Yeah, I don't like Professor Hulk.
01:00:51.840 --> 01:00:59.440
Um something we are getting though, in in terms of monstrosity, is we're doing the Spider-Man story, the other.
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:04.559
And if you are not familiar with this storyline, this is where Spider-Man's powers begin to mutate.
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:04.960
Yes.
01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:08.800
And he begins to wake up in a cocoon and he's like, What's happening?
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:10.800
And his he doesn't need his web shooters anymore.
01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:12.000
He's got natural webbing.
01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:14.480
Is this are we getting back into Sam Raimi films?
01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:24.480
No, my friend, we are getting Man Spider, which I'm very excited to see because I have never thought we would I never even I never even put that to like No put that in the movie box.
01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:37.360
You know, it was just like that was a story that I never it's it's it's one of my favorite stories because that's a great arc, is when he turns into man spider, but it was an arc that I never was like, oh, this would be a cool movie, right?
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:39.679
You know, it's just like it's just like oh this is the arc, you know.
01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:48.960
But but that brings into view that this Spider-Man movie seems very comic
accurate.
01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:52.800
Yes, like we're pulling straight from Spider-Man covers.
01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:58.400
Yes, we get the amazing fantasy 15 shot, we get the um the boomerang.
01:01:58.480 --> 01:01:59.119
I don't know what issue.
01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:00.320
I don't know what issue that is.
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:01.360
Um I think I have that issue.
01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:02.079
Really have that.
01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:02.400
I don't know.
01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:04.000
They probably just shot up in value.
01:02:04.239 --> 01:02:05.440
I don't have the tarantula one.
01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:11.840
Okay, that's the first appearance of Tarantula of that cover, but um the those cover shots are really cool.
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:12.480
Oh, yeah.
01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:14.159
I'm so glad we're getting those.
01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:14.800
They're amazing.
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:17.920
They are amazing, some might spectacular, you know.
01:02:18.159 --> 01:02:19.599
Some might even say ultimate.
01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:21.199
Oh not that one.
01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:24.880
We hate the book.
01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:38.000
Um, but um, I think it would be really cool, and what's really funny is that um my me and my girlfriend watched the trailer, and real quick, I told her I was like, I I'm gonna bet because there's a shot which you didn't notice that I noticed.
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:41.760
I don't know if this is like a CGI change thing, or if I just been looking at it weird.
01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:45.679
When he's in the cocoon, you get a first-person shot of him opening the cocoon.
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:51.280
His his his left hand, which if you're looking at him, it's his right hand, is black.
01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:59.760
Yeah, and I'm wondering if he's already mutating and his hand is becoming like is if he's just like getting skin, his skin's changing color.
01:02:59.840 --> 01:02:59.920
Right.
01:03:00.079 --> 01:03:00.239
Right?
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:02.400
Like it's a he's like, What's wrong with my hand?
01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:04.880
You know, and that's like a beginning part of the mutation or something.
01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:15.440
Um and of course, I told Elisa I was like, I'm gonna bet like in the next week we're already gonna get people going, they're doing venom, they're doing the venom story, they're doing the black suit.
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:18.159
And by God, that's all I'm seeing on social media.
01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:19.199
Yes, that's all I'm seeing.
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:22.239
And I'm so I wish I'd actually gambled on it because then I'd have won a lot of money.
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:22.480
Yeah.
01:03:22.639 --> 01:03:23.679
Um I don't think they're doing that.
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:25.280
I don't think they are at all.
01:03:25.519 --> 01:03:26.159
We talked about that though.
01:03:26.320 --> 01:03:27.679
When you called me, we did called me.
01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:28.400
Dude, dude, dude.
01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:30.000
I think uh never mind, never mind.
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:32.639
I did you well I I called you because I was like, Did you see his hand?
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:33.519
His hand's black.
01:03:33.599 --> 01:03:35.360
And you're like, oh, is it the symbiote?
01:03:35.519 --> 01:03:36.239
And I was like, no.
01:03:36.559 --> 01:03:37.920
That thing's definitely mutated.
01:03:38.079 --> 01:03:45.360
You idiot! I I but I hope, I hope, like what I would really like is if he's starting to get in.
01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:48.559
I don't know if there's a guy hitting on MJ in the trailer.
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:53.760
If that's Paul, I I'm it better not be Marvel.
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:56.320
Don't you I would put it back off.
01:03:56.559 --> 01:04:03.599
Um I would pay money almost to just to see it, Paul, to see all the comet fans go, uh, this guy again.
01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:05.599
Yeah, uh, get him out of here.
01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:07.840
I wish I do I wish I had a boo button so bad.
01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:09.920
Um we're gonna have to wink it our own.
01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:11.199
We're gonna have to put a boo button on here.
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:13.599
We're gonna be a laugh track and a boo button.
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:15.920
Please laugh at this.
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:17.199
Yeah, it's funny.
01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:19.280
Just keep pushing the button.
01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:36.400
Um, but I think it will be really cool if he's trying to become friends with MJ and Ned, and he's trying to like, you know, get them back to where they were, and all of a sudden he starts having these mutations where he's growing extra arms and he's like, I can't, I can't like I'm supposed to hang out with her.
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:38.559
I can't hang out with her now because I'm mutating.
01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:38.719
Right.
01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:39.760
Like, oh my gosh.
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:41.599
But um, we're getting Man Spider.
01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:49.119
Um, I think Punisher being there is really cool because he was a main character in the 90s cartoon, and he was actually in the Man Spider episodes.
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:49.599
Yeah.
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:51.599
Um, also, fun concept.
01:04:51.760 --> 01:04:54.559
I would love to see Hulk in Man Spider fight.
01:04:54.639 --> 01:04:55.519
I think that'd be really sick.
01:04:55.599 --> 01:04:56.000
That would be a good thing.
01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:56.719
Monster Hulk.
01:04:56.960 --> 01:05:00.719
Not just, you know, but um that's all I got for the trailer.
01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:01.920
Okay, what do you think?
01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:08.719
So I have heard that Tom Holland has described Spider-Man's relationship with the Punisher in this as like a big brother, little brother thing.
01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:14.400
So I definitely think that Punisher is gonna have a much bigger role in this um this movie.
01:05:14.559 --> 01:05:23.039
I almost said series because I'm so
hooked on like comics, but um, I really think we're gonna get that interaction a lot, which I think is gonna be good.
01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:39.039
And I think, or I kind of hope something along these lines will happen that Punisher Spider-Man's trying to figure out how to balance the two, and and Punisher's gonna be the the devil's advocate and saying you need to be the hero, you need to forget your old life, just like I have forgotten my old life.
01:05:39.199 --> 01:05:49.360
Yeah, you need to just continue on and forget it, forget her, leave her alone, go be Spider-Man, go be a hero, man up and Spider-Man's like having to struggle with that.
01:05:49.519 --> 01:05:59.840
So as he's transforming into man spider, Punisher's like, This is what I'm telling you you are not going to be able to be, or even be like, if you become a monster.
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:01.599
I have to put you down.
01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:03.519
That yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be really cool.
01:06:03.679 --> 01:06:03.920
Yeah.
01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:04.159
Yeah.
01:06:04.480 --> 01:06:06.159
But I think Punisher's gonna play a big role.
01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:07.280
I'm not a big Punisher fan.
01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:07.920
I'm not either.
01:06:08.079 --> 01:06:09.519
But just because I've never really read stuff.
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:12.960
Like if there's a good Punisher comic out there, recommend it, please.
01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:13.519
I will read it.
01:06:13.679 --> 01:06:16.159
I think Punisher Punisher Ward is it War Journal?
01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:18.719
War Journal is the one that gets recommended a lot, I think.
01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:26.079
Um Punisher Max is I've heard is also really good, but I don't really care much for Garth Innis, but this is a conversation for another time.
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:28.880
Uh we're gonna have to start making notes of things that we've said.
01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:29.360
We'll talk about this.
01:06:29.679 --> 01:06:31.119
Yeah, we'll talk about this later and we just never do.
01:06:31.199 --> 01:06:31.360
Yeah.
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:33.599
The episode title will be things that we were gonna talk about.
01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:35.440
Things that we were gonna talk about that we didn't.
01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:39.840
It's like oh my my my last uh my last bathroom experience.
01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:41.280
Um bathroom talk.
01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:47.119
Hello and welcome to the hello, welcome to bathroom talk here on the on the pool list.
01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:51.760
But but I think the I think the cinematography is great.
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:54.400
I think that is the thing that really stands out the most.
01:06:55.280 --> 01:06:56.159
The suit looks good.
01:06:56.320 --> 01:07:00.639
There's such a great contrast between everything else and the suit.
01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:01.199
Yes.
01:07:01.440 --> 01:07:07.679
Do you think, question for you, that they edited this trailer when he's fighting the ninja, the hand at
the end?
01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:08.960
I don't know.
01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:12.079
I I th I definitely think there might be some edits.
01:07:12.320 --> 01:07:14.239
Um I don't know.
01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:15.679
I I don't even either.
01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:16.559
And honestly.
01:07:16.960 --> 01:07:21.840
Because there's also the one shot where he webs the sword and breaks it and his eyes are black.
01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:22.320
Yes.
01:07:22.559 --> 01:07:23.920
Um that's really cool.
01:07:24.159 --> 01:07:25.440
They say that Mary Jane is in his eyes.
01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:27.519
You can see his reflect the yeah, you can see Mary Jane.
01:07:27.599 --> 01:07:29.679
Yeah, so and it's like his eyes are getting a little red.
01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:32.000
So what if because doesn't Man Spider have red eyes?
01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:33.119
Uh yeah, yeah.
01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:35.039
So I'm getting excited.
01:07:35.280 --> 01:07:36.880
I'm I'm gonna be honest with you.
01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:38.880
I I hope they didn't edit it.
01:07:39.039 --> 01:07:40.719
I hope it is just Spider-Man.
01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:48.719
I'm gonna be honest, but and and I want that because I don't want all these other characters like it's cool to see Spider-Man interact with other characters, right?
01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:54.320
Like, I mean that's cool, but I just want a Spider-Man, like let's just focus on Spider-Man in this movie.
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:55.199
Yeah, no, I agree.
01:07:55.440 --> 01:08:02.159
I think having Spider-Man be the focus, having, you know, um him fighting.
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:03.519
I wonder, like, what's the deal?
01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:04.719
Because there is a lot of villains.
01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:12.079
You've got the hand, you've got scorpion, you've got boomerang, tarantula, um, who else?
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:15.519
Um I think those are the those are the main ones that they showed off.
01:08:15.599 --> 01:08:15.840
Yeah.
01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:18.319
Uh Gene Gray, or is it Gene Gray?
01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:20.399
Supposedly Gene Gray, that's a big rumor.
01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:22.079
Sadie Sinks character, yeah, yeah.
01:08:22.479 --> 01:08:23.119
But we don't know for sure.
01:08:23.359 --> 01:08:24.399
Yeah, we don't know who that is.
01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:28.640
Um the the damage control is the villain.
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:31.359
Um you've got Keith David voicing somebody.
01:08:31.760 --> 01:08:33.920
Somebody question mark?
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:34.560
No, I'm just kidding.
01:08:34.800 --> 01:08:36.239
That would be cool because he voices Spawn.
01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:36.560
Yeah.
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:38.319
Um I don't know, but he Spawn?
01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:39.760
Spawn is in the movie.
01:08:40.079 --> 01:08:41.600
This is a Todd McFarlane movie.
01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:43.680
Yes! We're getting in.
01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:47.119
Um, but I think um, I don't know.
01:08:47.199 --> 01:08:49.920
I think because he his his monologue is really cool.
01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:53.359
He's he's talking about how like between a spider's life cycle.
01:08:53.840 --> 01:08:54.479
Spider's life cycle.
01:08:54.560 --> 01:08:55.279
Yes, I can't even do this.
01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:09.439
Um but it's vulnerable to threats between.
01:09:09.760 --> 01:09:15.920
But it's vulnerable to threats threats to between cycles, but when it makes it between cycles, it's almost a rebirth.
01:09:16.079 --> 01:09:16.399
Right.
01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:20.000
So I'm wondering kind of what that's I don't know.
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:21.840
I'm wondering what that means.
01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:22.319
Right.
01:09:22.560 --> 01:09:31.359
So maybe we'll get a new Spider-Man by the end of it, a new, you know, maybe he'll have he won't need web shooters anymore um after all this is over.
01:09:31.439 --> 01:09:31.920
I don't know.
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:38.640
The the question, the true question will be how will this impact Doomsday and Secret Wars to come?
01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:41.119
Well, Doomsday, I don't think he's gonna be in Doomsday.
01:09:41.680 --> 01:09:42.640
I don't think he's in Doomsday.
01:09:42.800 --> 01:09:43.840
He's gonna be in Secret Wars.
01:09:44.159 --> 01:09:47.760
And I will say, he better get the symbiote.
01:09:47.920 --> 01:09:51.680
If he this is the one spot that like you gotta do it.
01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:52.319
You gotta do it.
01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:59.600
Because I'm I'm trying to not be that fan that's like put it put venom in it, put venom, you know, like you know, as much as I want it more than anybody else, there's a time and a place for it.
01:09:59.920 --> 01:10:01.520
Secret Wars has always been that time and a place.
01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:05.680
Yes, you know, especially if Marvel's gonna like that's the one big thing out of Secret Wars is he gets the black suit.
01:10:06.159 --> 01:10:09.840
So if they do it, maybe if they don't, I don't know how it's gonna be different because it's gonna be different.
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:10.399
It is.
01:10:10.640 --> 01:10:12.079
Um I don't know.
01:10:12.560 --> 01:10:15.840
Isn't it gonna be for the good the better or for the worse different?
01:10:16.000 --> 01:10:17.359
I don't know because it remained to be seen.
01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:19.840
Isn't after Secret Wars aren't they rebooting everything?
01:10:20.079 --> 01:10:24.319
That is the rumor that they're gonna recast everybody for younger actors.
01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:25.840
Don't do that.
01:10:26.079 --> 01:10:27.119
Yeah, Marvel.
01:10:27.439 --> 01:10:28.800
Yeah, like I don't know.
01:10:28.880 --> 01:10:30.960
I don't I don't I think Marvel needs a break.
01:10:31.199 --> 01:10:31.680
I think so.
01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:37.680
I'd let DC, I know they won't do it, but let DC have at it.
01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:38.000
Yeah.
01:10:38.239 --> 01:10:40.079
Well DC's not doing much either.
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:45.359
Besides, like But DC's
slowing down because they don't want to fall into the same problem as Marvel does.
01:10:45.520 --> 01:10:46.479
That's true, you're right, you're right.
01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:48.159
Yeah, Marvel's got a problem now.
01:10:48.319 --> 01:10:48.640
Yeah.
01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:50.399
Because we've got to release new stuff.
01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:52.640
Speaking of which, Daredevil came out today.
01:10:52.880 --> 01:10:53.359
Did you watch it?
01:10:53.439 --> 01:10:54.079
I haven't seen it.
01:10:54.319 --> 01:10:55.600
I haven't seen any of the Daredevil.
01:10:55.680 --> 01:10:58.000
I haven't seen the original show, I haven't seen the Disney Plus show.
01:10:58.319 --> 01:10:59.600
You've not seen the original show?
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:01.680
I've seen I've watched a bit of it.
01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:03.680
Okay, I've watched like I sounded British there for a second.
01:11:03.920 --> 01:11:06.239
I watched a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of Al Ewing came out.
01:11:09.840 --> 01:11:11.039
Don't come after me.
01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:20.159
Oh yes, my favorite villain is uh Chairman because he uh he turns people into Twinkies, and I can really relate to that.
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:21.039
I like Twinkie.
01:11:21.199 --> 01:11:31.600
That is an actual thing if you read uh one of the Venom books uh at the end of the uh like the little commentary area in the back of the book, he says that his favorite or his most relatable villain is chairman.
01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:34.319
Don't get me started.
01:11:34.560 --> 01:11:35.039
No, I won't.
01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:37.119
I I shouldn't have even said that.
01:11:37.439 --> 01:11:38.800
Uh who is Al you?
01:11:39.039 --> 01:11:42.079
I'm sure we'll because we're uh we're getting uh more death spiral stuff.
01:11:42.159 --> 01:11:47.600
I haven't read I'm not up to date yet, but the next issue people are thinking that Dylan will die, and if he does, I will be pissed.
01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:50.000
Yes.
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:50.720
Uh-huh.
01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:52.479
Okay, I'm looking at you very confused.
01:11:52.560 --> 01:12:00.399
I like our audience can see that because that is the torment guys attacking bloodlines, remember?
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:02.880
We will kill Dylan before we will kill Paul.
01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:03.840
Probably.
01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:06.640
Honestly, you know, that don't surprise me.
01:12:07.199 --> 01:12:07.520
Okay.
01:12:07.840 --> 01:12:08.640
Alright then.
01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:09.760
But you know what?
01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:11.760
That'll be on a brand new day.
01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:13.680
And you know what else is on a brand new day?
01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:14.079
This movie.
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:15.039
I'm very excited about this.
01:12:15.119 --> 01:12:15.359
This will be.
01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:16.479
I think I'm very excited.
01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:22.479
I think this will be a I don't know if it'll be the best Spider-Man
film, but right now it's looking like the best one that Marvel's dropped.
01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:23.520
I'll agree with that.
01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:23.920
You know?
01:12:24.079 --> 01:12:25.199
Now, No Way Home is good.
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:28.880
I like No Way Home a lot, but I think No Way Home just hits a lot of nostalgia.
01:12:29.119 --> 01:12:30.319
That I think that's what I think.
01:12:30.399 --> 01:12:33.680
Because I like No Way Home, but it's it's a big nostalgia.
01:12:33.920 --> 01:12:35.600
That's that's what drives the whole film.
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:48.159
I think that's what's going to be the problem when Secret Wars rolls around, because we're gonna get Hugh Jackman, we may get Toby McGuire, we may get all these like nostalgia actors, and I think that's what's driving Doomsday right now, too.
01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:49.760
This is not what we plan on talking about.
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:50.720
That's okay, no, no, no.
01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:50.960
Yeah, yeah.
01:12:52.079 --> 01:12:59.840
I think that's what's driving Doomsday right now, too, is they're banking on the X-Men's return, probably for the last time until they reboot it again.
01:13:00.159 --> 01:13:04.079
Um and I think that's what they're I I think that's what they're banking on.
01:13:04.159 --> 01:13:06.720
That's that was the trailer I think that did the best.
01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:13.920
That's what that's what hyped me up more, was like, yo, the X-Men, all that's crazy, and they're getting Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, and they're getting all these guys.
01:13:14.079 --> 01:13:14.720
That's awesome.
01:13:14.880 --> 01:13:15.680
Yeah, yeah.
01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:19.760
But then I kind of stepped back and I was like, that's really what they're banking on.
01:13:19.840 --> 01:13:20.800
And Robert Downe Jr.
01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:22.319
as Doctor Doom, yeah, Chris.
01:13:22.640 --> 01:13:25.760
Caps comes back, Chris Himsworth is coming back.
01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:27.840
So Scarlett Johansson though.
01:13:28.239 --> 01:13:29.199
Yeah, no, she's dead.
01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:31.199
Yeah, she probably will somehow.
01:13:31.439 --> 01:13:31.600
Yeah.
01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:32.319
Paul Rabbins.
01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:33.520
Paul Rabbins in there.
01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:35.439
So I I think that's the problem.
01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:37.520
Are you worried about how they filmed Doomsday?
01:13:37.680 --> 01:13:38.560
Do you know how they filmed it?
01:13:38.720 --> 01:13:40.960
I know how they're rewriting the script every day.
01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:41.920
Are they wait, what?
01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:42.159
Really?
01:13:42.319 --> 01:13:43.760
Yeah, Robert Downer Jr.
01:13:43.920 --> 01:13:47.279
came out the other day and said that they're rewriting the script every day on set.
01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:48.720
That's not good.
01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:49.119
No.
01:13:49.279 --> 01:13:50.000
That's not good at all.
01:13:50.239 --> 01:13:50.399
No.
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:54.399
And the fact that everything, because a lot of people are like, I don't even know what scene I'm in.
01:13:54.479 --> 01:13:55.439
They're just like, Oh yeah.
01:13:55.600 --> 01:13:58.880
You're they're filming in rooms that are complete green screen.
01:13:59.039 --> 01:14:01.439
They're talking to people that they don't know who they're talking to.
01:14:01.680 --> 01:14:09.279
And the scenes of like, for example, let's say it's um who is the guy from Black Panther that does the chant that's really cool.
01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:10.399
Oh Mambaku.
01:14:10.560 --> 01:14:11.279
Mumbaku, yeah.
01:14:11.359 --> 01:14:13.039
Mumbaku and Thing are talking, right?
01:14:13.279 --> 01:14:13.760
In the trailer.
01:14:14.319 --> 01:14:17.680
Um they're talking, and like, I need to watch that trailer again.
01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:19.600
I've I've only I think I've only watched it once.
01:14:19.840 --> 01:14:22.399
Um did they drop a trailer or did they just drop pictures?
01:14:22.560 --> 01:14:28.159
They just dropped those two, those four trailers with Cap, Thor, the X-Men, and then the Black Panther and the Fantastic Four.
01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:29.279
Okay, that's what I Okay.
01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:35.039
Um so my thing is that like my thing, uh, with the the thing and then Bobby.
01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:36.640
It's covering you.
01:14:37.039 --> 01:14:46.079
Um, but they um uh like a lot of the scenes, for example, a lot of the actors have been talking about how they're in these rooms talking to characters and they don't know who they're talking to.
01:14:46.239 --> 01:14:51.199
It's a single actor in a single room having a two-man scene with someone they don't even know who they're talking to.
01:14:51.439 --> 01:14:52.479
That's scary.
01:14:52.720 --> 01:14:53.520
That is scary.
01:14:53.680 --> 01:15:01.840
And like if I mean, I mean, I if it's I hope it's like a big lie thing, they're just like, oh yeah, tell tell people this, like say this to the press.
01:15:02.239 --> 01:15:03.600
But like, I don't know.
01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:06.399
I'm just I'm just uh I'm I'm worried about it.
01:15:06.880 --> 01:15:09.680
I'm really worried about Doomsday because especially because it was supposed to be Kang.
01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:16.479
It was supposed to be King Dynasty, yeah, and all of it got completely flipped after the whole deal with the actor and and his wife.
01:15:16.720 --> 01:15:21.600
Um and you know, maybe Doom will be great as as Robert Downey Jr.
01:15:21.840 --> 01:15:22.159
We'll see.
01:15:22.319 --> 01:15:23.439
Like If I'm skeptical.
01:15:23.680 --> 01:15:28.800
If they don't sh if it's not like an alternate Iron Man, which I don't I think I think they've come from come out and said it's not.
01:15:29.039 --> 01:15:32.159
If it would have been, I don't think they would have revealed that it's Iron that it is Tony Stark.
01:15:32.239 --> 01:15:33.920
That would have been the biggest plot twist, you
know.
01:15:34.159 --> 01:15:34.399
Right.
01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:36.079
Um I guess we'll see.
01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:38.000
But why can't we just have Victor Von Doom?
01:15:38.079 --> 01:15:42.239
Why do we have to have uh well, isn't he supposed to be Victor Don Doom?
01:15:42.479 --> 01:15:51.119
I think he is supposed to be Victor Von Doom, but he's not You're not gonna be able to see Victor Von Doom, you're only gonna see Robert Downing Jr., which means you're only gonna be able to see Iron Man.
01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:53.840
You're not gonna be able to experience Dr.
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:54.960
Doom in his fullest.
01:15:55.359 --> 01:15:56.800
Well, unless he's just in his mask.
01:15:56.960 --> 01:15:58.159
And they just never take the mask off.
01:15:58.479 --> 01:15:59.439
I don't think they're gonna do that though.
01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:00.560
I think Robert Downing Jr.
01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:06.319
has too much of a face to for them to hide behind a mask the whole time.
01:16:06.560 --> 01:16:07.119
Maybe.
01:16:07.359 --> 01:16:08.000
I I don't know.
01:16:08.079 --> 01:16:08.399
I don't know.
01:16:08.640 --> 01:16:11.760
We could be wrong in December when this rolls around, but I don't know.
01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:12.640
I'm not very excited.
01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:15.439
I'm more excited for the brand new day than I am Doomsday.
01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:15.760
Yeah.
01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:17.600
But speaking of things that we are excited for.
01:16:17.760 --> 01:16:18.239
Oh, yes.
01:16:18.399 --> 01:16:21.039
I wish I had the invincible thing that I could just play right now.
01:16:25.600 --> 01:16:30.640
Like, Satan, this is I love that bit.
01:16:30.720 --> 01:16:31.840
I'm so glad they keep doing it.
01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:32.479
Yeah, me too.
01:16:32.720 --> 01:16:34.239
Like it it does not get old.
01:16:34.319 --> 01:16:35.119
Like it's so funny.
01:16:35.359 --> 01:16:41.600
So we are at season four of uh you have not read the comic, no, but I have.
01:16:41.840 --> 01:16:44.479
It is my favorite comic book of all time.
01:16:44.720 --> 01:16:45.520
My favorite comic book.
01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:46.880
You said that and that surprised me.
01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:47.199
Yeah.
01:16:47.359 --> 01:16:48.479
Not because it's like I hate it.
01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:49.039
I don't hate it.
01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:49.920
I think it's great.
01:16:50.079 --> 01:16:51.199
It's just I didn't expect that.
01:16:51.359 --> 01:16:51.520
Yeah.
01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:51.680
Yeah.
01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:54.000
I love Superman, love Spider-Man, love Captain America.
01:16:54.079 --> 01:16:58.079
I have I have favorite comic books, but Invent is my favorite series of all time.
01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:04.319
I will probably be doing a post on why it is my favorite series of all time in the foreseeable future.
01:17:04.479 --> 01:17:05.600
When that is, I don't know.
01:17:05.680 --> 01:17:06.000
Yeah.
01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:08.319
But uh season four dropped.
01:17:08.399 --> 01:17:08.800
Yes.
01:17:09.039 --> 01:17:11.279
And the first four episodes have dropped.
01:17:11.439 --> 01:17:14.880
Actually, when I came over to record with you today, you were finishing episode four.
01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:16.159
Yep, I was finishing it up.
01:17:16.239 --> 01:17:21.920
Uh, we watched episode three, uh the first three episodes dropped last week, and episode four dropped today.
01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:23.439
They're dropping on a weekly basis.
01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:25.359
I think it's only eight episodes this season.
01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:26.159
I think so.
01:17:26.399 --> 01:17:31.119
Or maybe they'll do what they've done in the in the past where it's like a midpoint and then they'll release more.
01:17:31.199 --> 01:17:32.960
But I think how many episodes do they usually have?
01:17:33.119 --> 01:17:34.079
I thought they had eight usually.
01:17:34.319 --> 01:17:36.319
They might be only eight in eight.
01:17:36.720 --> 01:17:44.319
Um you know, one thing I want to talk about before we talk about and review this season so far, which I guess we're at the midpoint, which is kind of crazy to think about.
01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:44.880
Is it really?
01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:45.439
Oh wow, okay.
01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:47.840
If there's only eight episodes and episode four came out today.
01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:49.279
Yeah, I guess we're already halfway through.
01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:50.399
They dropped three on the first day.
01:17:50.479 --> 01:17:51.520
Yeah, that was a lot, yeah.
01:17:51.840 --> 01:17:58.319
So one thing I want to talk about real quick is how stacked this voice acting cast is.
01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:00.239
This has J.K.
01:18:00.399 --> 01:18:01.439
Simmons, Stephen Ewan.
01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:04.079
I mean, you have, but you also have Peter Coleman.
01:18:04.159 --> 01:18:05.359
Yeah Optimus Prime.
01:18:05.600 --> 01:18:08.720
Optimus Prime and we didn't play this time.
01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:10.560
Or last time.
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:18.399
But but um, I mean, the voice cast alone, like the animation, I know it gets harped on a lot.
01:18:18.479 --> 01:18:18.560
Yeah.
01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:19.520
And you've got something to talk about.
01:18:20.239 --> 01:18:22.560
I had a couple animation notes for the show for sure.
01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:29.760
But but the voice acting alone, like I hope because Skybound Image is doing um the Transformer G.I.
01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:31.520
Joe series in the next couple of years.
01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:35.439
I hope that voice acting cat cast is just a stack.
01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:37.840
And I hope Peter Cullen is the voice of Optimus in that.
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:39.680
Oh, he's gonna, he's gonna have to be.
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:40.319
I hope he is.
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:41.600
There's no way they wouldn't.
01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:47.840
Um But you know, that's what that's what I hope continues because that's what makes
this show.
01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:52.079
Well, the story is great, of course, but the voice acting is also like on point perfect.
01:18:52.239 --> 01:18:52.640
Yeah.
01:18:52.880 --> 01:18:55.760
So let's get into first four episodes.
01:18:56.000 --> 01:18:57.119
Yes, the first four episodes.
01:18:57.279 --> 01:19:02.640
So, real quick, um, I I know you said that I uh am not re I haven't read it.
01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:04.000
Um there's a reason why.
01:19:04.159 --> 01:19:07.680
I I didn't really know much about Invincible until the show came out.
01:19:07.840 --> 01:19:12.319
I watched the sh first when season two came out, I watched it.
01:19:12.479 --> 01:19:15.279
Well, sorry, when season one was out, I watched the entire show.
01:19:15.359 --> 01:19:16.399
I did not like it.
01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:17.039
Really?
01:19:17.199 --> 01:19:18.159
Yes, I did not like it.
01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:25.199
It just I I couldn't get into the world because everything I felt like everything was so like, oh, this is just off-brand this character, this is just off-brand that character.
01:19:25.439 --> 01:19:26.159
Fair enough, you know.
01:19:26.319 --> 01:19:29.680
Um, but then when season two came out, I was like, I need to give it a shot again.
01:19:29.840 --> 01:19:31.760
Like it looks good, everybody's talking about it.
01:19:31.840 --> 01:19:32.640
Let me give it another shot.
01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:36.000
And I sat and I watched it, and I enjoyed it way more.
01:19:36.159 --> 01:19:36.399
Okay.
01:19:36.560 --> 01:19:38.319
I on the and a lot of my friends have had that.
01:19:38.399 --> 01:19:43.600
A lot of my friends said, Yeah, I watched it, didn't like it, but then I revisited it later and I really liked it the second time.
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:46.159
Um, so I really enjoyed it, I love it now.
01:19:46.239 --> 01:19:47.840
So every time I watch it, I'm all for it.
01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:51.760
I binged all three seasons whenever I was re-watching it again.
01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:57.760
Um and um, but I had said that like you know, you'd mentioned like you've got to read it.
01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:06.079
I I've purposely avoided the books because there's it's not too off like I've read a lot of good comics, I've not watched a lot of good comic adaptations.
01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:06.479
Sure.
01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:14.079
So I think getting to watch this and watch it for the first time and getting all of the story is a lot better than me reading it and know it because I I've done that a lot, right?
01:20:14.319 --> 01:20:19.520
Like I read a lot of the books and I know how these stories go, so when I watch it, I'm trying to find like, okay, is this right?
01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:20.239
Is that right?
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:21.359
But this I have no clue.
01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:26.880
So there's like a lot of things that like, you know, I know you showed me the reprint of the Invincible book that came out today.
01:20:27.039 --> 01:20:31.119
Um, that the whole hell scene that's in the episode isn't even in the book.
01:20:31.279 --> 01:20:32.560
No, and I wouldn't have known that.
01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:38.640
I was fully invested and it was I thought it was a good little you know, yeah store, like it was a good spacer.
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:54.880
Um that's what I explained to my wife when I was talking about it today that the that the hell story was kind of added, probably because there is no real like I don't want to say pacing, but it just kind of like skips to straight to like a an important part in the comics.
01:20:55.039 --> 01:20:57.439
So they kind of put that in to stretch it out a little bit.
01:20:57.680 --> 01:20:58.239
Yeah, yeah.
01:20:58.640 --> 01:21:00.960
Um but I that's a fair point.
01:21:01.119 --> 01:21:04.960
Like there aren't Spectacular Spider-Man is the only other one that immediately comes to mind.
01:21:05.119 --> 01:21:16.319
Maybe X-Men 97, like the recent series, even, but there's not a bunch of great superhero adaptation shows, cartoon shows, that is.
01:21:16.479 --> 01:21:16.640
Yeah.
01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:18.479
And uh so that's a fair point.
01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:22.560
But I still think I I think I think you should read it.
01:21:22.800 --> 01:21:23.439
I really do.
01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:28.159
I I think what I'll do is when the show is completely over, I might read the book.
01:21:28.399 --> 01:21:28.960
Okay, fair enough.
01:21:29.119 --> 01:21:31.600
Just to get a just to get a second, like, oh, that wasn't even in the book.
01:21:31.760 --> 01:21:34.239
Like, oh, that was a whole, you know, another section or whatever.
01:21:34.479 --> 01:21:36.000
Um I definitely think then.
01:21:37.359 --> 01:21:38.720
I'm just enjoying the show so much.
01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:39.600
It's such a good show.
01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:44.640
It it is, and um but I mean, let's go ahead and get into the new season for sure.
01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:45.600
Let's get into it.
01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:51.920
So episode uh one of the episodes I really want to talk about is the episode where they explain the history of the Vilcher Mites.
01:21:52.239 --> 01:21:53.600
That was a really good episode.
01:21:54.239 --> 01:21:55.279
And that was tough to watch.
01:21:55.439 --> 01:21:56.319
It was, yeah.
01:21:56.560 --> 01:22:02.159
Um so that one I d I don't think that's in the comics.
01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:07.439
Uh the beginning part with Nolan and his parents, uh with Omni Nan Omni Man and his parents.
01:22:07.520 --> 01:22:09.119
That I don't recall that being in the book.
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:15.600
And I could be totally wrong, but the rest of the history of the Vilcher mites is and that's a that's a really cool episode.
01:22:15.760 --> 01:22:17.279
I know we're skipping episode one, yeah.
01:22:17.520 --> 01:22:26.000
But episode one uh is is was also really good because it ends with Mark having to kill uh the astronaut who was possessed by the Sekwoid.
01:22:26.319 --> 01:22:28.159
Um and that was a good episode.
01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:33.359
It was just a very much, in my opinion, it was getting caught up.
01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:43.760
Your okay, this is because that's why a show that does streaming, that's why they will release a bundle of episodes, because your first like three are maybe your slowest.
01:22:44.000 --> 01:22:44.159
Right.
01:22:44.399 --> 01:22:52.479
And so that's why I think they released these three together because episode one is good, but it's like, okay, where have we seen these characters since we last left them?
01:22:52.640 --> 01:22:52.880
Right.
01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:55.840
And then it ends with Mark killing the guy who was possessed by the scene.
01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:58.239
Right, which is a great, like, okay, now I want to watch the rest of it.
01:22:58.319 --> 01:22:58.800
You know what I mean?
01:22:59.039 --> 01:22:59.359
Yeah, yeah.
01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:00.800
And so I think that's why they did that.
01:23:00.960 --> 01:23:06.159
And of course, Robot and Monster Girl are in the uh the Flaxen's dimension.
01:23:06.479 --> 01:23:10.000
Which I'm wondering if that's gonna and you again you've read it, so you might say nothing.
01:23:10.239 --> 01:23:18.720
I'm wondering if that's gonna lead to them both coming out as adults because you know they're both adults in kids' bodies, um, for the most part.
01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:18.960
Right.
01:23:19.199 --> 01:23:20.399
I plead the fifth.
01:23:20.880 --> 01:23:21.439
Oh, yep, yeah.
01:23:21.520 --> 01:23:23.920
Oh yeah, you can't say anything because you'll say anything that you'll spoil it.
01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:28.079
So that that's where that's where my brain's at, is I'm like, oh, are they gonna become adults now?
01:23:28.319 --> 01:23:33.920
And like, you know, since they've been kids this whole time, and because like now Monster Girl can become an adult, right?
01:23:34.079 --> 01:23:43.119
She's she is getting older now, and the weird fetus thing now is in Rex's clone body.
01:23:43.279 --> 01:23:43.840
You're right.
01:23:44.079 --> 01:23:47.600
And he's I guess a normal person growing up now.
01:23:47.920 --> 01:23:50.960
So yeah, that that's my I'm excited to see that.
01:23:51.039 --> 01:23:52.239
I don't know if it's gonna happen.
01:23:52.479 --> 01:23:54.399
You do, I guess, but I don't know.
01:23:54.479 --> 01:23:55.600
So I'm just not gonna say anything else.
01:23:55.680 --> 01:24:01.279
Because you're giving me a you're giving me one of those little half smiles, and I'm just like anything.
01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:10.079
Um but I will say, like, your your experience with Invincible is gonna be really interesting because you you don't know what happens.
01:24:10.239 --> 01:24:13.600
Like, this is all brand new to you, and that's a good place to be in.
01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:18.880
And I I kind of wish I was back in there, but reading the comic, oh man, reading.
01:24:19.520 --> 01:24:22.720
You got you got all the you got all the cool parts early.
01:24:22.960 --> 01:24:24.720
Yeah, that's because that's what my buddies did.
01:24:24.800 --> 01:24:28.880
Like, they watched the show, got into it, and then they bought all the books and then read all the way through it because they're like, I can't wait.
01:24:29.119 --> 01:24:30.159
And I'm like, but I want to wait.
01:24:30.239 --> 01:24:36.399
Like, I and of course, and I freaking spoiled parts for myself because I was because they handed me the book and they were like, hey, flip through this, check it out.
01:24:36.560 --> 01:24:47.439
And then I saw um, spoiler alert, um, Adam Eve on the toilet with the pregnancy test, and it's saying positive, and I was like, Oh, I'm gonna kill myself.
01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:48.880
This is awful.
01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:52.880
Um, so that was that was a good first episode to get you back hooked.
01:24:52.960 --> 01:24:57.520
Um, my wife has not watched uh Gabriella has not watched any of the other episodes.
01:24:57.600 --> 01:24:59.520
So this was her first time watching Invincible.
01:24:59.680 --> 01:24:59.840
Okay.
01:25:00.159 --> 01:25:02.079
And she knows she knows the main part.
01:25:02.159 --> 01:25:07.840
She knows Omni Man, she knows this scene where what will you have after 500 years?
01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:09.439
She knows that scene's mark.
01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:17.199
She knows also that I'm a big fan because she has seen from my bachelor party what oh the good friend Channel did.
01:25:17.520 --> 01:25:19.520
We had the giant, like what did it say?
01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:25.520
It's the The Bachelor Boys featuring play in Paul, Shannon, and Andrew.
01:25:25.600 --> 01:25:26.640
Shout out to all the guys.
01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:27.119
Yes.
01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:28.880
Uh we had a great bachelor party.
01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:34.800
We did, and then we had there were printed pictures of thick Omni Man all over the house we were renting for the Bachelor Party.
01:25:34.960 --> 01:25:35.680
It was so funny.
01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:37.920
And all we did that day was, I mean, it was awesome.
01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:41.439
We played Black Ops 2, the original Star Wars Battlefront 2.
01:25:41.920 --> 01:25:42.239
It was great.
01:25:42.479 --> 01:25:43.359
We tried hot sauce with the week.
01:25:43.439 --> 01:25:44.079
We tried hot sauce.
01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:49.279
It was fun, yeah, because you can eat freaking Carolina Reaper sauce and be like, uh, it's kind of hot.
01:25:49.520 --> 01:25:53.359
Yeah, so if you have hot sauce, send it to Clayton, I don't want it.
01:25:53.840 --> 01:25:56.640
But but anyways, so um that was fun.
01:25:56.800 --> 01:25:57.600
So she knows I like him.
01:25:58.159 --> 01:26:03.680
That was her first episode watching it, and where he Mark punches the guy and just shatters his face.
01:26:04.079 --> 01:26:05.760
The guy possessed by the sequid.
01:26:05.920 --> 01:26:08.319
Um, she was like, This is
violent.
01:26:08.479 --> 01:26:12.640
I'm like, you know, this is violent because I have sheep with showing you the other scenes.
01:26:13.119 --> 01:26:17.359
She's like, well, it's just that like in a cartoon, I can't really watch the violence.
01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:21.039
She's like, I could probably see it in in real life and and not and be okay with it.
01:26:21.119 --> 01:26:22.560
I'm like, I'm the opposite.
01:26:22.720 --> 01:26:25.119
I would rather see it in a cartoon because it doesn't bother me as much.
01:26:25.359 --> 01:26:27.760
It doesn't bother me as much either, yeah, because it because it's a cartoon.
01:26:27.920 --> 01:26:31.760
But also, like, I really like um I got Elise to start watching it too.
01:26:31.920 --> 01:26:33.680
We actually started, I started around episode one.
01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:38.159
She's kind of seen some of the episodes um and the plot twist at the end.
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:43.680
I think she knew the Omni Man, she's I guess she had like watched over the shoulder and been like, I know he's bad at some point.
01:26:44.079 --> 01:26:47.920
Um, but she was shocked when he when he when he killed the Guardians of the Globe.
01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:50.319
Yeah, she was like, Why did he just do all that?
01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:52.079
And I was like, I don't know, you gotta watch it.
01:26:52.720 --> 01:26:54.319
Like, there's a reason for all of this, you know.
01:26:54.399 --> 01:26:59.199
And um, but um getting to see his origin though, yeah, that's the one.
01:26:59.520 --> 01:27:05.760
Getting to see the planet getting like it got this uh it got like a bio the the scourge virus, yeah.
01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:08.880
The scourge virus, and watching all of these guys die.
01:27:09.039 --> 01:27:13.279
Yes, and everyone's getting infected, and no one gets infected, but he somehow survives.
01:27:13.359 --> 01:27:13.760
Yes.
01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:16.560
Um, some some people survive, yes, but not everybody.
01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:25.039
That's why there's 50 the less than 50 pure-blooded Viltramites left in the uh in the universe because they're the only ones that left on an entire planet.
01:27:25.199 --> 01:27:28.239
That's what I kept like thinking about the whole time watching that episode.
01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:34.560
Like, this planet probably has let's say even seven billion Viltramites down to 50.
01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:36.560
Yeah, that is insane.
01:27:36.720 --> 01:27:45.119
And I mean, you see the trails of of bodies and you see like piles just like where uh Nolan is fighting his parents in the beginning.
01:27:45.600 --> 01:27:51.680
Um there just pile like thousands and thousands, hundreds of thousands of bodies just piled up everywhere, right?
01:27:51.840 --> 01:27:55.359
And seeing that it's kind of like oh, it's it you know, it's it's crazy.
01:27:55.920 --> 01:27:59.840
Yeah, I don't know, it's it's it's like you you don't like the Viltermites because.
01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:12.720
like the first thing you're introduced to is how like they're literally willing to kill their own children right because they're not like oh if you're not gonna be strong enough then I'm just gonna go ahead and kill you now you know and they literally like Nolan's parents beat him up just to see if he's tough enough.
01:28:12.880 --> 01:28:16.960
Yeah and that like that's his test to the brink of adult yeah to to the brink of being dead.
01:28:17.119 --> 01:28:17.359
Yeah.
01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:28.079
And then like immediately everybody's like vom like literally the first guy who starts like vomiting up blood they're like oh did your parents punch you too hard this morning you lose her and then like everybody starts doing it and they're like okay what's happening something's happening.
01:28:28.720 --> 01:28:31.039
But like you kind of start to like I I felt bad for that.
01:28:35.039 --> 01:28:39.279
It's a cool thing because they this they start the episode making you be like God these guys suck.
01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:43.439
Like this their their whole planet sucks like their race sucks.
01:28:44.800 --> 01:28:45.920
Paula's race is confirmed.
01:28:46.079 --> 01:29:00.640
No no no no no just against filter mites just against filters just against filter mites they're bad people they're really bad people um but um but like then you feel bad because you're like man but they're losing everybody and like now you see like what it looks like when they're actually scared.
01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:07.600
And that was the whole point of Nolan no Nolan going out was to find a mate and repopulate.
01:29:07.680 --> 01:29:07.840
Right.
01:29:08.000 --> 01:29:10.800
That's why he's screwing all these women having babies everywhere.
01:29:11.119 --> 01:30:02.960
Yeah um so and then the rest of the episode continues as it's we're back in the present day and Nolan and Alan the alien are uh searching for reasons to sorry go ahead I know what part you're laughing at yeah they're searching for the creatures yeah like enemies things that can kill the Viltramites to finish off and yeah to start a regime and every night Alan and his wife maybe multiple times a night have sex continuously and it's so funny because it goes to them on their mission then it just immediately cuts to Nolan on the couch like covering his ears while they're while they're having sex and then it goes back to them doing another mission and it cuts back to them on and then like Nolan ends up getting up and leaving one night to find out that there are other rooms on this ship that he was not told about and he almost kills the pilot of the ship who was an absolute idiot yeah um because of it.
01:30:03.359 --> 01:30:05.840
It's really funny the comedy in this show is great.
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:13.920
Oh it is they they know when to hit things and how hard to hit they know when like there's they know what's too much and what's not enough.
01:30:14.239 --> 01:30:57.279
This show yeah yeah oh man
it's so good it's so good it's such a good show um yeah I knew as soon as you started laughing I knew what you were laughing about how can you forget we started counting we were watching it at my friend's house and we started counting we were like four five six like you know I also want to make a quick note on episode two because again going back to the voice acting the scene between Omni Man and um Thaddeus Peter Collins voice actor and and JK Simmons that scene dude just the voice acting alone like I could have closed my eyes and just been like these two have some of the most iconic voices ever and just listening to them like I could just listen to that all day.
01:30:57.439 --> 01:31:03.119
Yeah if they did an audiobook for 24 hours long yeah just sit there and listen to a button.
01:31:03.279 --> 01:31:16.800
It's like Morgan Freeman yeah it's like oh like the piece the piece sounds but you find out that Peter Cullen's character um was the one who unleashed the one who unleashed the Scourge virus and he was a he's a Viltramite yes did why did he do that again?
01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:40.560
He did it because so his reasoning was to hopefully get rid was to get rid of because he killed the original Viltramite leader and that was his hope Argyll to kill Argyll was that so the people might see the the error of their ways that they maybe that maybe since he was just a violent ruler if you killed him maybe the rest of the Viltramites would be peaceful.
01:31:40.720 --> 01:31:55.520
But that didn't work so then Thaddeus thought that the only way to stop the Viltimites was to unleash the virus yeah and to just wipe the whole race yeah and and we see Nolan I think it's really cool to see Nolan regretting like all the things he's done he really regrets Earth.
01:31:55.680 --> 01:32:20.560
Yes like it's you know which his character development has been great because even like going back to season one like watching that first episode with Elise again like it was um you know seeing him like finally killing everybody and like his main goal is to just get build Vilchum back up and then like Mark being a kid and now you see Mark and Mark's like this adult who's got so much weighing on him and you see Nolan who's just trying his best to fix his mistakes.
01:32:20.640 --> 01:32:26.399
And you know he's like like there is the there's the planet where they're like yeah we froze the planet because we had that's the only way we can stop these guys.
01:32:26.560 --> 01:32:26.640
Right.
01:32:26.800 --> 01:32:36.079
And it's just like yeah you guys were screwed he's like Alan says like man every time I think you guys might be okay right like you show me something like this and you just prove to me that I'm always wrong.
01:32:37.039 --> 01:32:43.840
Even that even that because that follows the scene and he's like yeah we put this solar disc up to block the sun out to freeze the planet.
01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:58.479
Yeah and he's like can you move it out of the way and the captain's like I'm gonna make up for my past mistakes and blows it up and they're like we said to move it not to blow it up because then everything starts unfalling falling and all these like dinosaur monster things are trying to kill kill them and they almost do it they almost win.
01:32:59.920 --> 01:33:07.039
But yeah like um I think like I think that was probably the best episode so far out of all I think that was the most invested season.
01:33:07.279 --> 01:33:12.399
Because that was the one episode that when me and me and all my buddies were watching it that we all were like completely silent throughout the whole thing.
01:33:12.720 --> 01:33:16.880
Like through all those we were like chit chatting and stuff but this one we were just like very invested watching all this.
01:33:17.119 --> 01:33:29.119
So I I'm I'm like right there with you because Gabriela um you know being pregnant your feet swell up so and so she's stuck on the couch and she's got to watch all the yeah yeah and she's also on her feet all day.
01:33:29.279 --> 01:33:29.359
Right.
01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:37.039
So I was massaging her feet and while we were binging the first three episodes and I just stopped during that episode.
01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:48.720
And I'm and I'm hooked like watching and every so often she'll like kick me and be like hey I'm not trying to be rude but I my feet really hurt.
01:33:48.880 --> 01:34:03.199
I'm like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah um like you're slowly stopping because you're just you can't stop watching it like and eventually she just said okay thank you that's that's enough I love Gabriela incredible.
01:34:03.359 --> 01:34:19.439
I am I'm very lucky but anyways um but also we had so um episode three we have that was episode two episode three was the final of the first release which what uh that was the episode where I forgore.
01:34:19.760 --> 01:34:23.520
Well the main reveal for episode three is that Adam Eve is pregnant.
01:34:23.680 --> 01:34:34.960
That Adam yes Adam Eve is is pregnant at the end and that's why her powers are gone because throughout these episodes she's having a hard time using her powers as everything she makes it just melts into rainbow goo.
01:34:35.119 --> 01:34:35.279
Right.
01:34:35.439 --> 01:34:36.800
And you find out that she's pregnant.
01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:45.119
So um that was a really I I kind of figured whenever her I was like yeah she's it's probably the pregnant thing um which is really crazy.
01:34:45.359 --> 01:34:52.239
And then um we get in the newest episode that dropped today we get a whole storyline about like hell and all this stuff going on which was interesting.
01:34:52.319 --> 01:34:57.920
It was kind of off to the side I'll say this was my least favorite episode of Invincible that they have done so far.
01:34:58.159 --> 01:34:58.479
Really?
01:34:58.640 --> 01:34:59.039
Why?
01:34:59.760 --> 01:35:07.359
Is it just because of like the the like is it because they make hell like not
that bad of a place that kind of bothered me a little bit.
01:35:07.520 --> 01:35:38.079
Yeah but that's just the Christian thing I guess man I really it was actually funny because I'm working on my script for the Isaiah 43 podcast which is my other podcast that I do podcast plug yeah you did another I did you're right um so anyway so I was working on the script and it I was also watching Invincible while I was doing it I was trying to multitask and they started talking about hell and stuff and I'm like I can't work on my my Bible podcast while I'm listening to this.
01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:54.880
Yeah and and really I I I could talk about like why I think their d depiction of hell is just wrong but it's not even it's not even that that I didn't like but but I do agree with you I didn't I didn't care much for that yeah yeah but frankly I don't really care I don't I don't care about these characters.
01:35:55.680 --> 01:36:08.960
And that's kind of why like with the rest of Invincible they have established these characters they have made you care about them but this Damien dark blood and his siblings in hell and Satan getting power again I I don't care.
01:36:09.199 --> 01:36:20.479
Yeah I don't I I I just I'm not invested and it didn't feel like sure Invincible is there and he's like he he kind of doesn't even know why he's there in this episode.
01:36:21.199 --> 01:36:24.399
But it really was not about Invincible until the end.
01:36:24.720 --> 01:36:34.079
Yeah and in the beginning the beginning had a little bit but I think those are my favorite parts is the fact that we get that scene at the beginning where he's questioning if he should be a hero.
01:36:34.159 --> 01:36:37.439
Right because he's really trying he's he's really concerned with being his dad.
01:36:37.600 --> 01:36:37.760
Right.
01:36:37.920 --> 01:36:43.199
He's like I don't want to be my dad and he doesn't know the changes that his dad has been going through because this has been a he thinks he's dead.
01:36:43.359 --> 01:37:08.880
He thinks he's dead and um he's like I just don't deserve to wear this costume I don't deserve this and you know they have that great with Mark Hamill who is playing the costume shop guy the great voice actor and um they're talking about like he's like well I I made the original suit for you again just in case you wanted to go back but you know it's up to you whatever remember who you are remember who you are yeah and the the the hell stuff is very side plot yes side and you know and yeah it's very side quest.
01:37:09.039 --> 01:37:19.439
I did really like when they're falling down the pit to get the crown and they're having that conversation about why um what's the guy's name Damien Damien pulls his mask back every time he talks and he's like why do you do that?
01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:22.560
And he's just like I don't know it just it it's cool.
01:37:22.800 --> 01:37:27.840
Like that's the overall like reasoning behind all of it but he keeps doing it
he keeps doing it.
01:37:28.319 --> 01:37:43.920
It's because Damien doesn't talk in complete sentences so he's like cool I guess cool I guess I don't know that was just yeah I will give you that that like that part I enjoyed and even like okay so even that scene for example this is why I was kind of bored with this episode.
01:37:44.079 --> 01:38:13.840
So that scene they fall down they're trying to get this this crown so Satan can get his powers back or whatever and he's supposed Invincible is supposed to fight Cerberus which is is cool like a cool concept because we're incorporating Greek mythology with all this so that's kind of new yeah you don't you don't show it they they see he grabs Damien and he's like I'll catch you in just a minute and he throws him as high as he can and you just see Damien going back up the hole and then slowly stopping and then falling back down and then by the time invincible gets him the fight's over.
01:38:13.920 --> 01:38:30.720
Yeah and it was just like because I noticed I was like oh that's a cop out right there that's that was very yeah that's like oh they didn't have the budget for that yeah so I I don't know and that's a meta joke within Invincible anyways is that they cut things to yeah so you don't see it and yeah so I I just I just didn't like it.
01:38:30.880 --> 01:38:34.640
It was just boring for me and I just was not invested in the characters.
01:38:34.720 --> 01:39:10.479
That's my reasoning my but my big thing was the end of the episode where uh Adam Eve is talking to what's his friend's name um gosh uh it's on the tip of my tongue I can hear it I can um I don't want to say Grayson because that's not right oh well anyway she's talking to Invincible's best friend yeah his best friend and you know Adam tells him like I'm pregnant and he's like oh my gosh congratulations that's such good news and she's like I no like I don't know if I want this right I don't know if I can do this right now and she's scared also because it's a super it's gonna be a superpowered baby right and his friend makes that note.
01:39:10.640 --> 01:39:17.680
Right and you know like oh he's gonna have superpowers and she's like that's you know it's it's I don't know she just seems like she wants kids but not right now.
01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:32.960
And he's like well girl why aren't you why you like I appreciate you telling me but you need to tell him like you need to tell Mark because Mark still doesn't know right and she goes to his house to tell him and she's like and she's like are you okay and he's like no but I'm getting better.
01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:49.680
Yeah like I'm getting there and he's and she's like there's really no good time to tell you this so and then who is floating above the house none other than Omni Man Omni Man and Alan and Alan and it's just like oh Mark there is a war.
01:39:49.920 --> 01:40:01.680
There's a war we need you yeah like yeah yeah and it was just like oh like the timing is really good for
all this because you're you're waiting to hear about all this and you're waiting for but it's just like it's just so close.
01:40:01.920 --> 01:40:23.439
And I'm hoping the next I I don't know when I don't know when they're gonna like you know I don't when she's gonna tell him but I'm so ready to see that conversation you know um he's clutching his mic oh no is it time to end this episode already um but yeah I want to say this is a really good series I'm really liking it so far.
01:40:23.600 --> 01:40:38.800
Um I uh with the is it every week that every Wednesday okay that's really cool um just just like the comic book um that's why Wednesdays are like my second favorite day of the week as Sundays I have to give it to church because I really like going to church and and and worshiping and stuff like that.
01:40:39.039 --> 01:40:51.520
Honestly I thought you were going to say like my favorite day of the week is Friday because it's the end of the day well that too but Wednesday's new comic book day it's Invincible day it's now going to be Daredevil day basically so it's gonna be Wednesday's we can good.
01:40:51.600 --> 01:41:28.239
Yeah also I I want to make I did I forgot to mention this there was I have a little complaint about the new season yes you do you gotta talk about that there are the first of all the animation of this show has always been fantastic season one two three and even a lot of four have been really really good but man that first episode of season four the animation was rough I don't know if anybody I didn't notice this there there's a scene where Adam Adam Eve and um Adam Eve and Invincible are Adam Eve and are in the kitchen talking and we oh that should be a button.
01:41:28.479 --> 01:41:56.079
That should be we're getting our button out you know that should be it um but they're talking in the kitchen and like when like when uh Invincible walks up to her it just looks like a cool math like a like do you know those I don't know if everybody knows what cool math is but like do you remember when you're little and you're in school and you get computer time and you go on like a game website and you're playing like Papa's pizzeria flash yeah like Flash gets games yeah um not flash gets that's a YouTube channel.
01:41:57.359 --> 01:42:08.000
Like plugging people we don't even know yeah yeah yeah well I know what you mean like flash media games yeah it and the the him walking up to her and then walking out of the kitchen looked like a cutscene from one of those games.
01:42:08.239 --> 01:42:09.119
It just did not look good.
01:42:09.279 --> 01:42:14.880
I don't know what I really need to go back and and watch that from a yeah when we when this is over I'll pull it up okay just so you can see it.
01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:22.640
But like I don't know it just I because I got worried and I was just like is it just me or does the animation because like I had just watched that first episode.
01:42:22.800 --> 01:42:29.039
We were getting into the second episode and I was like oh no the animation is quality looks like it's going down.
01:42:29.199 --> 01:42:29.680
That's not good.
01:42:29.920 --> 01:42:41.199
But then it got back up quick and like then it was fine for the rest of the the the uh the episodes I think what invincible does and I've noticed this with every season is that they really save the budget for the last episode.
01:42:41.439 --> 01:44:17.680
I get that yeah and and so yeah the conquest fight in the last season was awesome that was insane so I was I'll do a quick story about that I'm watching that episode and I'm seeing all these moments from the comic books that I'm seeing and even the the the line where he's like you're wrong I can see into the future and you don't make it to tomorrow and uh that scene like I'm I'm I'm in the floor watching it yeah because I'm watching on my phone and like I have nowhere else to like stretch out in the office and you're like laying in the floor I'm laying on the floor like yeah I'm just enjoying it yeah and man I like hit on the floor I'm like let's go let's freaking go baby yeah like that's awesome and my buddy who works on the floor below me texted me and said is everything okay I just heard a really loud noise I said yeah everything's fine what'd you hear yeah I don't know what that is I just I just plumbing or something you know that's fine definitely wasn't watching invincible you're just like banging your head on the floor like as Mark is doing it you're like this is so interactive my boss walks up and he's like Claire are you okay I just defeated Concord this guy's certainly not coming back now right you sure did you eat lunch today no I lost a bit to Bob Bob wasn't in the new super minute but oh no oh my god but anyway so what would you rate this new season of Invincible so far on um I don't I feel I feel bad rating it early but I'll go ahead and give it a rating now.
01:44:18.159 --> 01:44:24.239
Yeah I guess we're halfway through um what out of what?
01:44:24.880 --> 01:44:40.239
Out of 10 10 being the greatest show you have ever watched one being absolute dog pop one being ultimate spire many people are gonna hate this they're gonna be like I hate you guys I'm not watching your show anymore.
01:44:41.039 --> 01:45:00.720
Like uh you know oh so like one is like dog food right things I like better than ultimate spire dog food dog food um uh definitely it's not a I think the last season was uh I think the last season was a 10.
01:45:00.960 --> 01:45:04.399
I would season three was a 10 yeah I think last season was a 10.
01:45:04.560 --> 01:45:10.000
I think season one I'm gonna I'm writing the seasons just so I can kind of figure out where I want to put this one so far.
01:45:10.319 --> 01:45:15.199
Season one What happened in season two?
01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:16.960
Was season two the multiverse stuff?
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:37.279
Uh no that happened in season three season two was when Oliver was first introduced
and Mark reunites with Omni Man on the on that planet and then the Vilternites take him away okay you're right okay so I would rate what's the big finale like the finale of season two?
01:45:37.600 --> 01:46:05.359
I can't remember is it's not when Mark gets taken away I think it's when that's when the the multiverse guy starts to to be when Angstrom starts coming oh that's when he fights yeah he fights him and that's when like is that when we get spider agent spider in season yes that's the ending of season two right that's season two because then he comes back in season three with the multiverse stuff okay sorry I I forgot about season two um honestly I think I would rate it like I think every season has gotten better.
01:46:05.520 --> 01:46:33.760
I think I think like if I had to rate it rank it in like season like season three is my favorite season two is my second season one is my third season four has got to be my fourth as of right as of right now with you as of right now like do I think it can change absolutely do I know where the story's going not at all but I I think it could change but right now so far from season one to season three it every season was better.
01:46:34.079 --> 01:46:43.439
I do think like the Invincible war was a lot shorter than it should have been I do think you know but um it's okay it's like you know it's it's like what one or two issues in the comics you know it's not that long anyway.
01:46:43.760 --> 01:47:13.039
So I'll tell you this knowing what happens in the comics everything gets better every single time every arc every plot every character development everything gets better every single time this is why I think Robert Kirkman is arguably the best writer in comics wow I I stick by that because of what he does with Invincible you see his growth as a writer and everything just progressively gets better.
01:47:13.199 --> 01:47:39.119
Yeah and I I mean I love Chip Zadarsky I love Mark Wade I love all these other writers I think Robert Kirkman is the best that's why I think what he's about to do with Transformers is going to be incredible but um that's gonna be next time that that comes out I think that's I think that's you know I I I will agree I think that Robert Kirkman I don't I wouldn't say he's the best just because I don't know if I know enough to to rate that but this is probably one of the best developing stories that I've been involved.
01:47:39.520 --> 01:47:50.800
Like it every you see the growth the growth stays these the characters are all the same you can tell that this guy has all this planned out or at least has a concept of all this planned out and is sticking close to it.
01:47:50.960 --> 01:48:29.359
Now the show being a little bit different I don't know but so far what I'm seeing out of the show is all the characters they have their place when you know like I remember when Rex died uh in the second season I think it's it's it's with the invincible war so it's the third season when he dies like that that was like because even him like a character that was he sucked in season one but he developed to the point where when he dies you're like oh man that sucks you know I don't know it's just there's there's a the character development is very well and the story the driving of the story is really good too I I I think it's yeah the best comic series out there but that's my opinion.
01:48:29.520 --> 01:48:50.960
So anyways anything else you want to talk about before we wrap it up man I think we've covered it we talked about Superman Spider-Man we've talked about Spider-Man brand new day we've talked about uh doomsday and uh and secret wars and now invincible so I think what do we got coming next week I know we've got Absolute Batman comes out when does that come out I think that comes out in two to three weeks I think we've got a little while before Absolute Batman comes out again.
01:48:51.199 --> 01:49:53.279
I don't know uh I really don't know when we're gonna have another big comic week it might be a little bit it might be I know I know next week I'll be out of town so we won't have nothing coming out next week um two weeks out maybe three weeks out definitely yeah so keep keep keep listening we're we're posting not regularly but we'll we're just kind of I try to post at least three times a week yeah on the on the social yes on socials we post regularly but the podcast will come out just kind of sporadically so and I try to advertise each time on on Comic Nation 1776 go follow follow that's where you're gonna see all the updates we're on YouTube Spotify we're on everything podcast anywhere you get podcasts we're you can use podcast and we'd appreciate a five star review five however you rate your podcast Johnny Cates like reach out to us um yeah Frank Martin go ahead and reach out as Robert Kirkman Nick Dragata yeah Robert Kirkman dude hop on here um Scott Snyder you're the only one out of the absolute Batman that we're waiting on so you better better you know better make a move man you're the only one that wants to single you out.
