00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:04.629
Alright, welcome back to the coolest podcast in comics. I'm
2
00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:06.639
your host Jaden, we have Chris over to the left
3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.140
of me and Cameron below me. Cameron is finally back,
4
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.580
moved into his new place, got some new scenery behind him.
5
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:13.779
Happy to have him back.
6
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.320
So, congrats Cameron on coming back, the comeback is real.
7
00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:20.289
And today we've got a bunch of stuff to talk about,
8
00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.609
like a ton of news. Especially Cameron played a ton
9
00:00:23.649 --> 00:00:26.149
of Zero Company since the last time we talked. Big
10
00:00:26.170 --> 00:00:27.829
update on that and how that's going. We got a
11
00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:31.519
bunch of new comics. Our pool list went crazy. Yeah,
12
00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:33.460
there was just a ton of stuff happening this week.
13
00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:36.600
So starting off, we got a ton of X-Men news. Chris,
14
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.079
if you want to hop on that.
15
00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:40.500
Yeah, so this is fresh.
16
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.920
This is about a couple hours ago now. Asa German
17
00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:51.490
has been casted as Angel. Asa German, his most recent
18
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:57.920
acting gig was Scream 7. And he kind of came
19
00:00:57.979 --> 00:01:02.880
onto the scene with Gen B, which I thought he
20
00:01:02.899 --> 00:01:06.890
did a good job as Sam, I think his character was.
21
00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:11.930
But with that casting, I think that they're going to
22
00:01:11.969 --> 00:01:21.049
go for the original first team of X-Men. So Charles Xavier, Cyclops,
23
00:01:21.409 --> 00:01:25.030
Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, Iceman, and.
24
00:01:27.260 --> 00:01:30.579
Storm, including Storm. She wasn't a part of the original
25
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.379
first scene, but basically the whole first scene overall.
26
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.079
That's actually sweet.
27
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.290
That's hot news, Chris. We love it. We love it.
28
00:01:41.739 --> 00:01:44.359
You had a little bit of a theory, too, on the... Oh, wait,
29
00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:46.060
that was it, right? It might be more of the
30
00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:49.019
original sort of team?
31
00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:49.480
Yeah, yeah.
32
00:01:49.579 --> 00:01:52.379
And I think it's a good idea to start younger.
33
00:01:54.269 --> 00:01:58.849
Because these actors could be locked in on a contract
34
00:01:58.930 --> 00:02:02.599
and they could really grow as characters and like age
35
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.699
with the characters they're portraying. So, yeah, I think it's
36
00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:13.360
overall good. I like the actors they've picked so far.
37
00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:16.979
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, they got a good lineup so far.
38
00:02:17.689 --> 00:02:20.330
Another pretty cool thing, like in terms of TV news
39
00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:23.949
and stuff like that is Netflix apparently has been working
40
00:02:23.990 --> 00:02:27.460
behind the scenes, potentially getting some rights to some indie
41
00:02:27.469 --> 00:02:30.620
comic stuff. So apparently, and I don't know if this
42
00:02:30.629 --> 00:02:32.900
is confirmed, I think it is, but they got the
43
00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:36.439
rights to do a Geiger sort of film, which is
44
00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:39.560
going to be sick. Again, like comic movies have been
45
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.099
going crazy for a while now, but like, I think
46
00:02:42.139 --> 00:02:44.240
it's a really smart play by Netflix to get into
47
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.860
the little indie realm and Because, I mean, boosting comic sales,
48
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.439
but also, like, these indie audiences are huge.
49
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.259
Like, a lot of people like Geiger. We talked about
50
00:02:53.310 --> 00:02:54.710
Rook Exodus on the podcast.
51
00:02:56.030 --> 00:02:57.669
I mean, even if Destruction Bear a lot, it could
52
00:02:57.689 --> 00:03:00.030
potentially be, like, a miniseries on TV. So, there are, like,
53
00:03:00.050 --> 00:03:02.610
a ton of really awesome comics out there that they
54
00:03:02.629 --> 00:03:05.169
could be doing. I just think it's really cool to
55
00:03:05.189 --> 00:03:07.900
see Netflix, you know, potentially buying a bunch of rights
56
00:03:07.909 --> 00:03:08.840
to do this sort of stuff.
57
00:03:09.310 --> 00:03:10.699
It's just got to be good, you know?
58
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.139
So... Yeah, I have a list of some of the
59
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.560
other titles that they acquired, if you want me to
60
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:22.280
list them off.
61
00:03:22.650 --> 00:03:23.590
Yeah, for sure.
62
00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:28.550
Yeah, so Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, it's kind
63
00:03:28.569 --> 00:03:31.909
of like a Winnie the Pooh meets Dexter type story.
64
00:03:31.930 --> 00:03:35.550
I haven't read it before, but it seems pretty interesting.
65
00:03:35.629 --> 00:03:37.189
I do need to check that out.
66
00:03:37.770 --> 00:03:40.270
Yeah, that looks awesome, by the way. The comic looks
67
00:03:40.289 --> 00:03:40.729
really cool.
68
00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:47.819
The Infinite Horizon I think it's like a retelling of
69
00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:51.229
the Odyssey but in a near future so that could
70
00:03:51.270 --> 00:03:57.830
be interesting I've never heard of this story before Invisible
71
00:03:58.150 --> 00:04:03.340
Emmy not really sure what that story's about and The
72
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:10.020
Night Eaters She Eats the Night and Radio Spaceman wow
73
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.370
that's actually a lot of stuff Yeah, it's not, like,
74
00:04:13.430 --> 00:04:17.029
confirmed that they'll do projects with all of these. I
75
00:04:17.069 -->
Load full transcript
00:04:21.230
think they just now have the options to do projects
76
00:04:21.290 --> 00:04:27.300
with these stories if they want to. So, I mean,
77
00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:35.379
I think it's cool to see, like, them buying these
78
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:41.279
properties because it can get... get a whole new audience
79
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.519
into comics. Like we've been seeing with people watching Superman.
80
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.139
Like you, you bought a Mr. Terrific comic because of
81
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.560
the Superman movie. The MCU brought in a whole new
82
00:04:55.620 --> 00:05:01.500
generation into comics. I think it's pretty cool. And, I mean,
83
00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:05.060
indie titles, I mean, it just shows people that there's
84
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.329
a whole new world other than just superheroes.
85
00:05:09.589 --> 00:05:10.629
Yeah, that's a really good point.
86
00:05:10.709 --> 00:05:12.269
I think a lot of time people get into comics
87
00:05:12.350 --> 00:05:15.339
and go straight to like I did, superhero related stuff.
88
00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:19.160
Then you find out there's more stuff out there. Jeff Johns, again,
89
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.819
like a great writer that did like Green Lanterns, almost
90
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.439
like a whole rebirth of Green Lantern. And also writes
91
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.430
incredible indie stuff under his own sort of publishing. So
92
00:05:28.449 --> 00:05:31.350
it's really, really cool to see this sort of stuff
93
00:05:31.490 --> 00:05:33.870
coming to fruition. Of course, when I become a fan,
94
00:05:33.889 --> 00:05:34.910
I'm getting the best stuff ever.
95
00:05:34.949 --> 00:05:35.250
You guys.
96
00:05:35.860 --> 00:05:38.199
Cameron especially probably went through some tough times with being
97
00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:39.720
a comic book fan.
98
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:40.060
Yeah.
99
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.310
But yeah, no, so it's pretty cool.
100
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.509
Yeah.
101
00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:50.889
No, it was pretty exciting stuff. I mean, Geiger's only on, like,
102
00:05:50.949 --> 00:05:53.089
I think the 25th issue is about to come out.
103
00:05:53.670 --> 00:05:56.850
So that's still kind of early on in its series.
104
00:05:56.970 --> 00:06:01.920
So it's pretty crazy how they could be getting a show, like,
105
00:06:02.019 --> 00:06:03.759
still pretty early on in its run.
106
00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:04.879
Yeah.
107
00:06:05.170 --> 00:06:06.209
No, I totally agree.
108
00:06:06.970 --> 00:06:09.389
I think, yeah, that kind of wraps it up for TV,
109
00:06:09.449 --> 00:06:12.850
like movie related stuff this week. A big thing that happened,
110
00:06:12.949 --> 00:06:15.319
you know, we're all big gamers here. We love video games.
111
00:06:15.339 --> 00:06:21.300
Nintendo is really just showing up right now. So obviously
112
00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:24.879
with GTA five or GTA six releasing, nobody else wants
113
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.500
to release like GTA six is releasing and everything else
114
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.850
has to get out of the way. And they've also
115
00:06:29.889 --> 00:06:32.029
delayed it. So like games that were supposed to come out,
116
00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:34.800
they're delaying their own release, or pushing it forward so
117
00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:37.899
they don't release at the same time. Nintendo basically said,
118
00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:41.300
F all that, and Nintendo is releasing an Ocarina of
119
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.399
Time remake very, like, I think a week before GTA,
120
00:06:45.459 --> 00:06:46.079
or the same week?
121
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:53.240
Yeah, like a couple weeks before, I think. Which, very crazy,
122
00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:54.759
ballsy from them.
123
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.839
Yeah, and I think I have a bit of a
124
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.560
theory on this, and I think mainly Nintendo doesn't care.
125
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.500
It's because GTA six from what I've heard is not
126
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.439
on the switch too, but also, um, people that buy
127
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.139
Nintendo switches want to play Nintendo games. It's like people
128
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.480
that buy PlayStations, right? Like we want to play Wolverine.
129
00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:15.079
We want to play Spider-Man. We want to play last
130
00:07:15.110 --> 00:07:18.389
of us. I've got a war, et cetera. And people
131
00:07:18.449 --> 00:07:21.470
buy Nintendo stuff to play Nintendo games. And so I
132
00:07:21.509 --> 00:07:25.050
think this is just Nintendo saying like, Hey, like it
133
00:07:25.089 --> 00:07:27.069
doesn't matter when we release games, like you guys will
134
00:07:27.089 --> 00:07:29.430
buy it and play it regardless. Um, which I'm super
135
00:07:29.449 --> 00:07:31.709
excited about. I've never played Ocarina of Time. I have
136
00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:33.970
a Switch 2, and quite frankly, it's just been kind
137
00:07:34.009 --> 00:07:36.949
of sitting around. I haven't really done much on it
138
00:07:37.069 --> 00:07:38.750
in a while, just because there's not been a ton
139
00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:40.230
of games I really wanted to play.
140
00:07:40.290 --> 00:07:42.110
What do you guys think about that?
141
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.009
I think it's really cool.
142
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.480
If anybody was going to do it, Nintendo would be
143
00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:50.939
the prime people to do it. They already set the
144
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.560
standard for the gaming pricing now.
145
00:07:53.579 --> 00:07:55.040
It went from $ 60 to $ 70 because of Nintendo, so
146
00:07:57.779 --> 00:08:02.100
they're really the trendsetters of most of the gaming industry stuff.
147
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.019
So, I mean, it truly makes sense for them to
148
00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:07.209
do something like that, honestly.
149
00:08:07.290 -->
00:08:10.410
Not surprising. Again, of all people to succeed with that,
150
00:08:10.589 --> 00:08:11.629
it's Nintendo, I feel like.
151
00:08:12.449 --> 00:08:12.790
Totally.
152
00:08:12.810 --> 00:08:18.480
Yeah, I agree. I'm excited for this remake of Ocarina
153
00:08:18.509 --> 00:08:24.379
of Time. I played the 3DS version about, was it
154
00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:27.269
three years ago now? Four years ago? And it's like
155
00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:29.730
one of my favorite games of all time. It's just
156
00:08:29.810 --> 00:08:34.950
the atmosphere, the music, just everything. The adventure just was
157
00:08:35.029 --> 00:08:38.870
incredible and I can't wait to play it again. I mean,
158
00:08:39.710 --> 00:08:42.909
just because it's releasing two weeks before GTA 6 doesn't
159
00:08:42.929 --> 00:08:46.289
mean I won't play it. I'm definitely going to play both.
160
00:08:46.309 --> 00:08:49.610
Yeah, and you can beat it in that time frame too.
161
00:08:49.690 --> 00:08:52.009
It's not like it's a super, super long game because
162
00:08:52.029 --> 00:08:53.970
when GTA 6 comes out, we're all going to be
163
00:08:54.009 --> 00:08:58.059
locked in playing GTA 6 for potentially 80 hours is
164
00:08:58.100 --> 00:09:01.700
what I've heard. So, but yeah, Ocarina of Time is
165
00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:06.000
a much less of a time constraint type game. So
166
00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:08.350
it's going to be fun. And again, I've never played it.
167
00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:12.950
So I'm really looking forward to that. But yeah, Nintendo just,
168
00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:15.870
I think what Cameron said is exactly right. Nintendo is
169
00:09:15.909 --> 00:09:17.830
the company that can do this. No one else can
170
00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:21.090
do this. And if they tried, they would fail miserably probably.
171
00:09:21.110 --> 00:09:23.710
So yeah, yeah shout out to nintendo on that i
172
00:09:23.750 --> 00:09:25.830
mean and also like you said cam they brought the
173
00:09:25.870 --> 00:09:28.250
games from 60 to 70 dollars then they took it
174
00:09:28.269 --> 00:09:31.409
to 80 with mario kart world so they're just uh
175
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.059
trend setting but maybe in the wrong direction um yeah
176
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:37.840
yeah you never know there's been a lot of stuff
177
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.299
going on especially with playstation getting rid of like discs
178
00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:44.419
and stuff like that and now xbox is going after playstation.
179
00:09:43.820 --> 00:09:48.620
And video kojima Yeah, dude, I was excited for that.
180
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.039
That was huge.
181
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.210
Yeah, what do you guys think about that? I'm excited
182
00:09:52.230 --> 00:09:52.730
for that game.
183
00:09:53.730 --> 00:09:56.889
Yeah, I mean, could you... Sorry, Chris, you can go first.
184
00:09:57.070 --> 00:09:57.870
I didn't mean to interrupt.
185
00:09:58.250 --> 00:10:03.960
I think PlayStation's making a mistake. dropping Hideo Kojima. He's
186
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:08.980
made some of the greatest PlayStation exclusives, and to just
187
00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:13.019
drop him now to... say you're getting rid of physical
188
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:17.450
discs and then drop him. And it's just crazy. They're
189
00:10:17.490 --> 00:10:21.350
kind of doing like a U-turn with like what they
190
00:10:21.450 --> 00:10:22.370
used to market on.
191
00:10:22.669 --> 00:10:22.909
Yeah.
192
00:10:23.370 --> 00:10:23.590
Yeah.
193
00:10:23.649 --> 00:10:26.289
Basically just before we go any further on it, I
194
00:10:26.289 --> 00:10:28.649
just want to explain quickly, but if anybody doesn't know,
195
00:10:28.690 --> 00:10:31.779
so Hideo Kojima has done all the Metal Gear Solid games. Well,
196
00:10:32.059 --> 00:10:35.639
most of them, but he created the Metal Gear Solid games.
197
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.639
And then also he did Death Stranding, which was a
198
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.750
PlayStation exclusive and Death Stranding 2. So, um, for whatever reason,
199
00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:45.090
he was making a new game, and Cam probably can
200
00:10:45.110 --> 00:10:46.769
explain it way better than I could, so we'll do that,
201
00:10:46.809 --> 00:10:49.669
but he's making a new game, and he was working
202
00:10:49.710 --> 00:10:52.289
with PlayStation to publish the game, and all of a sudden,
203
00:10:52.309 --> 00:10:54.070
they just dropped him and said they're not going to
204
00:10:54.110 --> 00:10:56.409
do it anymore, so Xbox picked it up. I mean,
205
00:10:56.450 --> 00:10:58.389
what a great thing for Xbox to do, so, yeah,
206
00:10:58.409 --> 00:11:00.230
I don't know if you guys, Cam, if you want
207
00:11:00.250 --> 00:11:01.830
to go a little more into, like, what you wanted
208
00:11:01.850 --> 00:11:02.509
to say about that.
209
00:11:03.169 --> 00:11:04.970
Yeah, I was just going to say, like, Hideo Kojima
210
00:11:04.990 --> 00:11:08.000
does the best at, like, spy and espionage games, so, like,
211
00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:11.450
and that's exactly what, uh, isn't supposed to be about
212
00:11:12.789 --> 00:11:15.639
and I think it's I think he has Robert Pattinson
213
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.980
like playing the main character I don't know.
214
00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:19.919
For sure I mean on the.
215
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.240
Cover it looks like him and there was talks where
216
00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:26.070
Robert Pattinson and Hideo were talking at like some film
217
00:11:26.110 --> 00:11:29.970
festival or some award festival I think it was actually
218
00:11:30.049 --> 00:11:33.730
but so I think it's probably going to be Robert
219
00:11:33.830 --> 00:11:36.269
which would be sick because obviously he's like such a
220
00:11:36.289 --> 00:11:40.100
dope actor and a really cool guy but Yeah, anybody
221
00:11:40.529 --> 00:11:42.659
to do stealth games, it's got to be him.
222
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:43.580
Yeah.
223
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.220
Phantom Pain was, like, to me, top three games of
224
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.799
all time just because, like, the sheer amount of hours
225
00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:50.899
and the story.
226
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.639
That went into that game was insane.
227
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.220
Not only as, like, a Metal Gear fan, but just, like,
228
00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:57.919
as a fan of cinematic games in general.
229
00:11:57.940 --> 00:11:59.340
Like, that game is phenomenal.
230
00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:00.399
Yeah.
231
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.299
So I think this is going to be a really
232
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:06.059
cool opportunity for him. And, again, it gives him the
233
00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:08.600
ability to make a new relationship with Xbox and maybe
234
00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:10.610
play some ideas that he wanted to do before but
235
00:12:10.649 --> 00:12:13.350
couldn't maybe they can you know take those out of
236
00:12:13.389 --> 00:12:16.129
the toy box so to say and he can get
237
00:12:16.169 --> 00:12:19.169
more creative and explore different types of games too because
238
00:12:19.190 --> 00:12:24.129
even death stranding like the core gameplay felt very similar
239
00:12:24.169 --> 00:12:26.450
to like phantom pain like how your guy moves and
240
00:12:26.649 --> 00:12:28.879
yes like just the movement and the feel of it
241
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.700
was very similar but obviously the genre was very weird
242
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.600
i mean he went completely far out with the general
243
00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:40.750
idea of the game so Um, I think it's going
244
00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:43.169
to be a really cool opportunity for him and Xbox both.
245
00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:45.750
And Xbox, I think needs something like this too, because
246
00:12:46.190 --> 00:12:48.529
they haven't had like a very original IP in a while.
247
00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:53.500
That wasn't Halo, Gears or something to that effect. Uh,
248
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:54.919
cause like back in the day they used to have,
249
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:55.860
I think it was them that.
250
00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:57.460
Had Spyro, right? Or am I mistaken?
251
00:12:58.139 --> 00:12:58.539
Spyro?
252
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.440
Uh, yeah. Was that originally a PlayStation property or is that?
253
00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:04.960
I think originally PlayStation, but then I think something happened
254
00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:05.740
along the way though.
255
00:13:05.779 --> 00:13:07.399
So. Yeah.
256
00:13:08.019 --> 00:13:10.720
I just can't think of, like, very many Xbox exclusives
257
00:13:10.820 --> 00:13:14.379
outside of, like, those main ones, you know, that really
258
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.350
stick around. I mean, I'm sure they've had more throughout
259
00:13:16.389 --> 00:13:18.090
the years that have, like, trickled off due to, like,
260
00:13:18.129 --> 00:13:20.990
licensing and whatnot. Because, like, even, like, Sony, they used
261
00:13:21.009 --> 00:13:23.409
to have Infamous every year. Like, the brand new Infamous
262
00:13:24.250 --> 00:13:27.429
was crazy. And those games were great. And now, like,
263
00:13:27.909 --> 00:13:29.509
I don't think they're ever going to do anything with that.
264
00:13:31.139 --> 00:13:32.620
So I think this is going to be a huge
265
00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:35.000
win for both of them. And I'm excited to see
266
00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:36.080
more about the games.
267
00:13:36.990 --> 00:13:40.009
Yeah, I think it's a really pivotal moment for Xbox
268
00:13:40.049 --> 00:13:40.350
right now.
269
00:13:40.389 --> 00:13:41.889
They have a good team in there, it looks like.
270
00:13:41.929 --> 00:13:44.029
I know people were a little worried with Asha Sharma
271
00:13:44.769 --> 00:13:47.250
coming from an AI background, but she is really coming
272
00:13:47.289 --> 00:13:49.649
and proving that they can really do this.
273
00:13:49.669 --> 00:13:51.230
It looks like they're getting back to the core of
274
00:13:51.289 --> 00:13:52.370
what Xbox was.
275
00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:55.379
And I hope, because I want to talk about this
276
00:13:55.409 --> 00:13:57.840
quickly later, but I hope that Halo is a big
277
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.720
part of the reimagining of Xbox and kind of going
278
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.000
back to its roots in a way. But at the
279
00:14:03.019 --> 00:14:06.159
same time, reimagining kind of like what has taken place
280
00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:08.740
over the past, like, you know, 15 years at this point,
281
00:14:08.779 --> 00:14:11.879
maybe like 10 years. Um, the last console cycle was
282
00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:14.740
just not good for Xbox. I mean, I bought one,
283
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:17.870
I played it. I, there's nothing on it that keeps
284
00:14:17.909 --> 00:14:18.309
me on it.
285
00:14:18.529 --> 00:14:19.549
Um, Halo, I really.
286
00:14:19.409 --> 00:14:24.009
Love still, but, um, I had to buy a PS5
287
00:14:24.029 --> 00:14:26.110
because I want to play games like, you know, Spider-Man
288
00:14:26.169 --> 00:14:28.740
and Spider-Man two and last of us, last of us too.
289
00:14:28.779 --> 00:14:30.279
I want to play God of War at some point.
290
00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:33.440
So there's just like, too many good options on PlayStation
291
00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:35.299
right now, but they're at a point where they're kind
292
00:14:35.340 --> 00:14:38.330
of trickling off and Xbox really has a chance to
293
00:14:38.370 --> 00:14:40.889
pick it up here. So I think, and we'll update
294
00:14:40.909 --> 00:14:42.789
it as, as we move forward, but, uh, it's something
295
00:14:42.809 --> 00:14:44.070
that we're all really looking forward.
296
00:14:43.850 --> 00:14:46.250
To, I think. Cause, uh, you know, we all played
297
00:14:46.289 --> 00:14:47.350
a lot of Xbox growing up.
298
00:14:48.970 --> 00:14:49.190
Yeah.
299
00:14:50.629 --> 00:14:53.220
Um, on that note though, the next sort of thing
300
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.120
we want to talk about, um, quickly is Batman day
301
00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:56.700
is coming up.
302
00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:58.679
So it's the 19th. It's next Saturday.
303
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:00.740
I think I got the date wrong in the last one. So,
304
00:15:01.409 --> 00:15:03.759
Batman day is on September 19th. We're going to be
305
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.860
doing our podcast, I believe on the 17th. So it'll
306
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.360
drop on the 18th. So we're are going to be like,
307
00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:11.919
we're going to have a great Batman day sort of
308
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.559
episode for you guys. We're going to do some like
309
00:15:13.620 --> 00:15:17.580
ranking stuff, uh, talking about the new DCU Batman, uh,
310
00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:19.879
what we expect, or I guess like what we're kind
311
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.559
of hoping for, um, maybe some ways they could mess
312
00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:23.960
it up potentially in our eyes.
313
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.440
So if you've been following the podcast, that's going to
314
00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:27.360
be a really, really fun one.
315
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.269
Um, But yeah, and then on that note too, there's
316
00:15:31.309 --> 00:15:33.889
comic book news as well from Dynamite Comics. So they
317
00:15:33.929 --> 00:15:37.169
are going to be doing some compact comic stuff dropping
318
00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:40.750
next May. So May 2027. Kind of following the trend
319
00:15:41.250 --> 00:15:43.909
from DC and Marvel. But yeah, there's some good stories
320
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.139
in there. Like I said, I've been reading Ben 10.
321
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.320
I'm sure they'll probably do one eventually when there's enough
322
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.960
issues out. But if you like Dynamite Comics, that's some
323
00:15:50.980 --> 00:15:51.820
good news for you.
324
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.840
Anything else, guys, on that? Or do you guys just
325
00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:57.350
want to hop into some of the other stuff?
326
00:16:00.070 --> 00:16:05.549
Yeah, I can't really think of anything else we wanted
327
00:16:05.629 --> 00:16:06.190
to get to.
328
00:16:08.970 --> 00:16:09.269
Okay.
329
00:16:09.370 --> 00:16:12.649
Well, let's talk about, so we've got a bunch of
330
00:16:12.669 --> 00:16:15.269
stuff on our list here, but Cam, first of all,
331
00:16:15.470 --> 00:16:19.070
shout out to Cameron because some crazy stuff happened for us.
332
00:16:19.110 --> 00:16:22.419
So the podcast just started. We're a pretty small podcast, obviously.
333
00:16:23.139 --> 00:16:25.059
We do a lot of clips and stuff on Instagram
334
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.940
and TikTok and also here on YouTube. And Cameron's been
335
00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:30.000
talking about Spawn like a lot because he's been reading
336
00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:31.960
it and really loves it. And we're all kind of like,
337
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.679
in a way, Todd McFarlane fanboys. So great clip of
338
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.730
Cameron talking about King Spawn. Just so happened, they're making
339
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.720
a King Spawn movie potential, or they are making it.
340
00:16:43.330 --> 00:16:46.830
And they liked our Instagram post. So that was really,
341
00:16:46.870 --> 00:16:48.649
really cool. So shout out to King Spawn.
342
00:16:48.690 --> 00:16:50.850
And we're all excited to check out the movie when
343
00:16:50.870 --> 00:16:51.750
it comes out.
344
00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:52.289
Yeah.
345
00:16:52.769 --> 00:16:57.669
Which, by the way, too, just perfect casting of Jamie Foxx. Like, Like, I'm.
346
00:16:57.850 --> 00:17:00.590
Very excited to see him as Spawn. Like, I think
347
00:17:00.610 --> 00:17:03.190
that's going to be perfect. And I'm excited to see
348
00:17:03.210 --> 00:17:05.450
the vision. I like how, like, slowly but surely they're
349
00:17:05.470 --> 00:17:07.470
piecing it together and showing what they're piecing together.
350
00:17:07.509 --> 00:17:09.019
So I'm excited to see.
351
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.839
So is King Spawn more of the standard Spawn sort
352
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:14.059
of story?
353
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:14.380
Yes.
354
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.079
So basically, it's Spawn himself.
355
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.960
And he embarks on this.
356
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:25.309
He kind of uncovers this larger, almost conspiracy and, like,
357
00:17:25.769 --> 00:17:29.920
story thing. and he has she spawn and medieval spawn
358
00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:32.849
with him as well. Um, and I think throughout the
359
00:17:32.910 --> 00:17:35.910
course of King spawn, he actually recruits gunslinger.
360
00:17:35.430 --> 00:17:36.190
Spawn as well.
361
00:17:37.589 --> 00:17:42.089
Um, they show like him getting introduced to each other.
362
00:17:42.490 --> 00:17:42.609
Yeah.
363
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:43.619
There's a whole, yeah.
364
00:17:43.630 --> 00:17:47.319
And there's also a comic series called spawn universe as well.
365
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.500
I think I might've gotten, I might've got that wrong,
366
00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:52.839
but something to that nature. And I haven't read that yet,
367
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.059
but that's another one I'm trying to piece together with
368
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:55.980
all the spawn stuff.
369
00:17:56.309 --> 00:17:59.400
Um, Yeah, it's a really cool story. And that's just
370
00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:00.670
without spoiling it.
371
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.849
That's just overhead elevator pitch of what that story is
372
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:05.569
so far, at least to my best knowledge of what
373
00:18:05.589 --> 00:18:10.410
I got from reading the first volume. But yeah, and
374
00:18:10.450 --> 00:18:13.809
it's cool because there's some characters that are angels that
375
00:18:13.829 --> 00:18:17.730
Spawn fights against that are from Heaven as well. So
376
00:18:17.769 --> 00:18:22.349
you have Hell versus Heaven. Very cool concept there. And
377
00:18:22.390 --> 00:18:25.549
just really great designs. The artwork in the series is
378
00:18:25.730 --> 00:18:29.029
very cool. even in gunslinger spawn as well, like the
379
00:18:29.089 --> 00:18:32.789
art's incredible. So overall anything spawn related, I'm going to love.
380
00:18:33.769 --> 00:18:35.750
But this especially has been really good to read. So
381
00:18:35.890 --> 00:18:38.539
I'm excited to order more volumes and read more of
382
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:38.980
the series.
383
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.980
Yeah, no, I think it's like you said, Jamie Foxx
384
00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:44.000
is awesome casting there. It's cool to see like him
385
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.400
and Todd McFarlane playing pickleball together. Like, yeah, what a
386
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.619
cool crossover.
387
00:18:48.660 --> 00:18:49.339
It's just really cool.
388
00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:51.200
And I feel like Todd McFarlane is really one of
389
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.779
those guys that just like, again, we just talked about
390
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.839
the Netflix deal and like, more comics coming to fruition
391
00:18:56.900 --> 00:18:59.359
with uh shows and movies this is a guy that's
392
00:18:59.380 --> 00:19:02.500
been pushing this since the 90s uh with cartoons spawn
393
00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:06.059
cartoon uh live action movie which fuck excuse me it looked.
394
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:10.089
Awesome uh but it's fine podcast but.
395
00:19:09.930 --> 00:19:13.349
It just looked awesome and also uh i just see
396
00:19:13.369 --> 00:19:15.509
like spawning more video games like the call of duty
397
00:19:15.549 --> 00:19:18.470
game he just got announced in uh another game i
398
00:19:18.509 --> 00:19:20.630
don't remember what game it was diablo.
399
00:19:20.170 --> 00:19:23.569
I think diablo yeah it's just like yeah Really cool
400
00:19:23.589 --> 00:19:25.769
to see this happening and coming to fruition.
401
00:19:27.109 --> 00:19:31.410
Even him in Mortal Kombat was amazing. Some of the best.
402
00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:32.640
What's the guy's name?
403
00:19:32.859 --> 00:19:33.200
Keith.
404
00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:35.279
The actor that voices him.
405
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:35.920
Keith David?
406
00:19:36.579 --> 00:19:38.500
Keith David, yes. I was blanking on his last name.
407
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:39.700
He's incredible.
408
00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:42.519
Him in the animation series is really good, too. He
409
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:45.490
did a phenomenal job. If anybody has not watched the
410
00:19:45.490 --> 00:19:47.390
Spawn animation, it's really good.
411
00:19:47.390 --> 00:19:49.589
I highly recommend it. It's on HBO Max, I believe.
412
00:19:50.130 --> 00:19:51.859
I don't know if it's still on there. I think
413
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:55.059
it should be, but really good animation.
414
00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:55.839
It's awesome.
415
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.900
I just love it. It's fun, but I'm excited to
416
00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:59.240
see what Jamie Foxx will do as well.
417
00:19:59.730 --> 00:20:03.509
Yeah, the animated one is very gritty and dark, and
418
00:20:03.569 --> 00:20:07.130
it's really, really cool. I watched it last year or
419
00:20:07.190 --> 00:20:09.759
two years ago now, and I was pretty blown away
420
00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:10.609
with actually how.
421
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:10.980
Good it was.
422
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:12.059
Yeah.
423
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.019
It's really, really good.
424
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:17.779
But what's cool is also the Wolverine game we've been
425
00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:19.500
talking about a lot on the podcast. I don't know
426
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.180
if you guys have too much to bring up about
427
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:24.349
Wolverine in general, but I'm still on my X-Men grind.
428
00:20:24.569 --> 00:20:25.529
I have not watched it anymore.
429
00:20:25.769 --> 00:20:28.769
Movies since, but yeah, I'm really looking forward to this game,
430
00:20:28.809 --> 00:20:31.130
and it's coming out very, very soon.
431
00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:34.069
Yeah, I would say if you want to get excited,
432
00:20:34.130 --> 00:20:35.609
and if you can get your hands on it before
433
00:20:35.750 --> 00:20:41.089
you play the game, Wolverine Revenge, really good, short, little,
434
00:20:41.450 --> 00:20:43.609
if you can get the trade paperback, it's, I think
435
00:20:43.630 --> 00:20:46.190
it's only like a limited series, like five issues, so
436
00:20:46.339 --> 00:20:50.720
very short, but very cool. It's just, it's a great, just,
437
00:20:52.150 --> 00:20:55.740
some summarization of how Wolverine's character is to a certain
438
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:59.180
degree I mean there's lots of variations of his arc
439
00:20:59.259 --> 00:21:02.259
but just overall how he is it's a very good
440
00:21:02.299 --> 00:21:06.160
illustration of the Wolverine character so I highly recommend that
441
00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:09.039
and I'm just excited to see like what all they
442
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:12.019
explore in the game as well like because obviously they've
443
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:13.500
shown a lot of good villains and you guys even
444
00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:15.980
talked in the last episode about some of the villains
445
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.079
so I'm just excited to see more.
446
00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:21.940
Of what they decide to show off so Yeah.
447
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.220
The gameplay looks awesome, man. Just like slicing through people.
448
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.319
Like it's, it's going to be really cool.
449
00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:29.549
And also. Yeah.
450
00:21:29.849 --> 00:21:30.009
Yeah.
451
00:21:30.170 --> 00:21:32.710
And I just trust Insomniac is such a
great studio.
452
00:21:32.730 --> 00:21:35.269
Speaking of Spyro, they used to make Spyro, which is cool.
453
00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:36.430
Yeah.
454
00:21:36.930 --> 00:21:40.089
Yeah. What a great game studio. Like just genuinely.
455
00:21:40.190 --> 00:21:41.589
And I also, I could be wrong, but I think
456
00:21:41.609 --> 00:21:44.970
they also made sunset overdrive, which was a Xbox exclusive.
457
00:21:45.210 --> 00:21:45.950
I think so.
458
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:46.279
Yeah.
459
00:21:46.299 --> 00:21:47.200
These guys do not miss.
460
00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:47.859
That game was great.
461
00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:50.960
These guys just don't miss. I don't know what it is, but, uh,
462
00:21:51.549 --> 00:21:53.730
Shout out to Insomniac, genuinely.
463
00:21:53.750 --> 00:21:58.910
Yeah, on that note, Cam, I have in our stuff
464
00:21:59.029 --> 00:22:00.869
to talk about potentially Doom. I don't know if there's
465
00:22:00.890 --> 00:22:03.289
anything you want to bring up about Doom or Doom-related stuff,
466
00:22:03.650 --> 00:22:05.390
or if you want to talk about any of the comics, but.
467
00:22:06.910 --> 00:22:08.839
Yeah, like, overall, like, I love.
468
00:22:09.130 --> 00:22:11.740
Because I remember in the last episode you had brought up, like,
469
00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:16.740
his kind of character and who he is, so I'm
470
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:18.380
trying to think of what a really good story.
471
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:20.980
Oh, The One World Under Doom. Perfect arc.
472
00:22:21.630 --> 00:22:23.690
Perfect story if you want to get an idea of
473
00:22:23.730 --> 00:22:27.710
how doom's character is because his character so like you
474
00:22:27.809 --> 00:22:30.109
i think you said in the last episode that he
475
00:22:30.750 --> 00:22:33.190
has the good intentions at heart but like just has
476
00:22:33.210 --> 00:22:36.509
the worst delivery and that is a really good aspect
477
00:22:36.549 --> 00:22:39.230
of his character and that is partially true but he
478
00:22:39.289 --> 00:22:43.210
is also just the most egomaniac and the biggest egomaniac
479
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:48.299
in probably almost all of marvel because he just solely
480
00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:50.359
wants the credit for everything like he just wants to
481
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.400
be the sole proprietor of doing literally anything he could
482
00:22:54.420 --> 00:22:57.759
think of. And like, even in one world under doom,
483
00:22:57.940 --> 00:23:02.140
the reason he became the sorcerer Supreme was from blood hunt.
484
00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:06.500
And he made a trick deal with Dr. Strange to
485
00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:08.680
try to save everybody. But again, he only wanted to
486
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:11.220
save everybody because he wanted to say that doom saved everybody.
487
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:11.700
Right.
488
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:16.140
It's just pure selfishness that drives him and his pure
489
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:19.349
ego battle with Reed Richards, like that drives him to
490
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:20.089
do anything good.
491
00:23:20.109 --> 00:23:20.289
Yeah.
492
00:23:20.809 --> 00:23:24.230
So it's like, yeah, he does good things. He, but
493
00:23:24.490 --> 00:23:26.930
at what cost, you know, and, and, uh, in one world,
494
00:23:26.950 --> 00:23:30.589
we're doing, it's a perfect synopsis of that. Um, and
495
00:23:31.230 --> 00:23:33.150
it's funny too, cause like he, the only person he's
496
00:23:33.250 --> 00:23:36.490
ever nice to is Reed Richards daughter. Uh, I think
497
00:23:36.549 --> 00:23:39.799
her name is Val and, uh, and she has like
498
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:41.359
multiversal powers, I believe.
499
00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:45.250
And, uh, And it's just funny, like out of.
500
00:23:45.230 --> 00:23:48.089
All the people in the entire Marvel universe, it's just
501
00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:49.410
her that he is nice to.
502
00:23:49.730 --> 00:23:50.329
And he's like a.
503
00:23:50.710 --> 00:23:54.089
Really cool uncle to her and like is super nice
504
00:23:54.130 --> 00:23:56.289
and like tries to do the best for her. And
505
00:23:56.329 --> 00:23:58.279
it's really funny to see out of all the evil
506
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.640
things he does. That's like the one place he's like,
507
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.480
I won't even remotely falter of being mean or evil.
508
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:07.119
So, yeah, anybody who's a fan of Doom or wants
509
00:24:07.140 --> 00:24:07.859
to get into.
510
00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:10.680
Doom, I would say read One World Under Doom because
511
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.609
it's just a phenomenal event and storyline. And they even
512
00:24:13.670 --> 00:24:15.289
have a trade paperback now if you want to read
513
00:24:15.309 --> 00:24:17.789
just the first, all nine issues of like.
514
00:24:17.670 --> 00:24:21.349
The main event. Is that like an origin story too?
515
00:24:23.470 --> 00:24:26.390
I don't think they delve into his origin. I mean,
516
00:24:26.869 --> 00:24:29.210
I think there's parts maybe where they reference his origin,
517
00:24:29.289 --> 00:24:34.519
but overall, no, I don't think they dive into it.
518
00:24:34.970 --> 00:24:37.059
I know in the Challenges of Doom, I think they
519
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.259
talk about it in the Reed Richards one issue.
520
00:24:42.569 --> 00:24:45.950
Yeah, I was going to say, Chris also just read...
521
00:24:45.710 --> 00:24:48.730
Why don't you talk about it, Chris?
522
00:24:49.970 --> 00:24:53.670
Yeah, another great story that really dives into Doctor Doom's
523
00:24:53.710 --> 00:24:57.839
character is... I just read it recently. Doctor Strange and
524
00:24:58.430 --> 00:25:02.940
Doctor Doom Triumph and Torment. It was released as a
525
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:06.000
graphic novel in the 80s, I believe, by....
526
00:25:11.049 --> 00:25:16.779
Roger Stern. And, uh, and it was just incredible.
527
00:25:16.799
--> 00:25:21.160
It really dove into his character, made me, uh, like
528
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:24.440
really kind of like him as a character, like how
529
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:29.519
complex he is. And, um, it just, it's a great story,
530
00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:34.359
even for Dr. Strange as well, um, dives into him as,
531
00:25:34.740 --> 00:25:38.980
as well. Um, and, um, it was just incredible. It's
532
00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:43.519
like 80 pages or something. It's not an incredibly big
533
00:25:43.660 --> 00:25:47.299
story or anything like that, but it just really goes
534
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.170
into his motivations and it does dive into.
535
00:25:51.029 --> 00:25:54.099
His origin and all that. I'll have to check that out.
536
00:25:54.109 --> 00:25:55.730
If you want to know, yeah, if you want to
537
00:25:55.750 --> 00:25:58.529
know about him, definitely check it out.
538
00:25:58.910 --> 00:26:01.589
Oh, and Secret Wars too.
539
00:26:01.609 --> 00:26:04.849
Yeah, I was going to say, I'm about to read that.
540
00:26:04.890 --> 00:26:07.000
So like, And I can just tell already it's going
541
00:26:07.019 --> 00:26:09.420
to be like a lot. I think it's what's cool
542
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:12.589
about Dr. Doom is he's like actually a pretty complex character. Like,
543
00:26:13.470 --> 00:26:16.670
like you said, Cam, like the intention sometimes can be good,
544
00:26:16.710 --> 00:26:18.049
but it's more like an ego thing.
545
00:26:18.089 --> 00:26:19.769
And I think it's also just like, there's people in
546
00:26:19.789 --> 00:26:20.569
real life like that.
547
00:26:21.289 --> 00:26:24.210
There's always someone out there that like pretends to be
548
00:26:24.230 --> 00:26:26.119
doing the right thing and they always show up doing
549
00:26:26.140 --> 00:26:28.380
the right thing, but it's like, at what cost it's
550
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:30.759
so people kind of just like look up to them
551
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.250
and give them credit for it.
552
00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:32.440
So.
553
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:35.039
I think he's just a pretty complex character, and one
554
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:37.700
I haven't really read much about. I'm reading Doom Quest
555
00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:40.920
right now, but again, it's a different type of story
556
00:26:41.569 --> 00:26:45.009
versus an origin thing. For me, it's been a fun story,
557
00:26:45.049 --> 00:26:48.309
but yeah, what you guys just talked about, origin stuff,
558
00:26:48.329 --> 00:26:50.190
and then the one world under Doom as well sounds
559
00:26:50.390 --> 00:26:54.430
like a really good time, fun to read. Plus, Doomsday
560
00:26:54.470 --> 00:26:56.289
coming up, and then Secret Wars.
561
00:26:56.849 --> 00:26:57.450
Now's the time.
562
00:26:57.509 --> 00:27:00.109
If you haven't read anything Doom like me, really, now's
563
00:27:00.130 --> 00:27:01.490
the time to Doom it.
564
00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:05.200
Now's the time, though.
565
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.299
Yeah, I would recommend Doom Quest for newer readers. It's
566
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:16.609
currently coming out. I think it's still a good characterization
567
00:27:17.289 --> 00:27:22.750
of him, and I read the latest issue, and holy crap.
568
00:27:23.230 --> 00:27:27.470
I mean, pretty insane stuff.
569
00:27:28.150 --> 00:27:30.299
I'm about to read it tonight, actually. I'm really looking
570
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.039
forward to it. I was in my pools for this week.
571
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.140
And it's just been a good ongoing comic. Just, just
572
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.000
a really fun one every week that I, or every
573
00:27:38.019 --> 00:27:39.900
month that I look forward to. It's just always a,
574
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:41.559
it's a fun time to see where he's at, where
575
00:27:41.579 --> 00:27:44.680
he's gone. And yeah, I'm excited to see like kind
576
00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:47.380
of the end of it to see like what happens.
577
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:48.660
Yeah.
578
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:49.420
Where he ends up.
579
00:27:49.859 --> 00:27:52.059
Cause right now it's kind of like, Oh, he's here now. Oh,
580
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:53.680
he's here now. And it's like, I want to see
581
00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:54.200
where he ends up.
582
00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:55.849
So I don't know what this one gives us, but
583
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.549
it looks like it's more actual Dr. Doom story versus
584
00:28:00.589 --> 00:28:01.849
just like he's somewhere else again.
585
00:28:01.890 --> 00:28:02.009
So.
586
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.119
Yeah it's been a really fun read.
587
00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:06.880
Yeah there's one other doom book i want to read
588
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.160
too it's like the book of doom like i don't
589
00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:11.329
know that's what i heard yeah i always see it
590
00:28:11.849 --> 00:28:13.329
i used to see it in my old comic book
591
00:28:13.349 --> 00:28:15.890
shop and uh i always thought about picking it up
592
00:28:15.910 --> 00:28:17.349
but i never did but i think next time i
593
00:28:17.369 --> 00:28:17.569
see it.
594
00:28:17.589 --> 00:28:18.650
I'm gonna definitely get.
595
00:28:18.490 --> 00:28:20.829
It that's one i've heard if you want to read
596
00:28:20.869 --> 00:28:21.970
dr doom pick.
597
00:28:21.829 --> 00:28:25.210
That one up yeah yeah tons of great stuff is
598
00:28:25.230 --> 00:28:27.240
there any stuff that's like dr doom that you guys
599
00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:29.680
think is just really bad that like people should just
600
00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:32.039
stray away from like is there anything really in general.
601
00:28:35.930 --> 00:28:37.819
I don't think I've come across anything yet that I
602
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:41.700
didn't really like, but also again, the main thing I've
603
00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:43.839
read of his is really just the one world under
604
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:46.039
doom and like
a couple other side stories, but I
605
00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:49.299
haven't read anything too specific that like just doom oriented.
606
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.140
Yeah.
607
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.700
Such a cool character.
608
00:28:51.990 --> 00:28:53.289
I really want to read more and I feel like
609
00:28:53.309 --> 00:28:55.710
I'm doing a disservice to not like start with some
610
00:28:55.750 --> 00:28:56.269
doom stuff.
611
00:28:56.289 --> 00:28:57.309
So I got to get onto it.
612
00:28:58.250 --> 00:28:58.509
Yeah.
613
00:28:58.589 --> 00:28:58.809
Yeah.
614
00:29:00.529 --> 00:29:02.839
Yeah. So, uh, There was something else I wanted to
615
00:29:02.859 --> 00:29:05.339
bring up. Oh, so something I want to talk about.
616
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:08.900
I brought this up earlier with Xbox's potential revival, which, again.
617
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:10.480
It's Xbox, so we've got to take it with a
618
00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:11.039
grain of salt.
619
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.559
But I have found myself slipped right back into Halo Infinite,
620
00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:19.150
and these guys know. I have been, like, have a
621
00:29:19.269 --> 00:29:23.269
weird relationship with Halo Infinite since it came out. Chris
622
00:29:23.309 --> 00:29:25.630
and I played a lot of it when it came out.
623
00:29:26.450 --> 00:29:29.230
I'm a big ranked gaming fan, so anything ranked, like,
624
00:29:29.670 --> 00:29:32.230
I tried Overwatch recently. Didn't really like it, but I've
625
00:29:32.250 --> 00:29:36.380
tried Marvel Rivals. It's fun, it has fun aspects, but
626
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:38.799
I don't really like when there's like advantages to characters
627
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:41.940
so like obviously with marvel rivals everyone's like superheroes so
628
00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:44.460
for the most part so uh everyone has like a
629
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:46.519
certain power and so like you might be in a
630
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:48.500
fight with a character but they use like their secret
631
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:50.839
power you die immediately and it's like there was no
632
00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:55.009
um it wasn't like a call of duty gunfight where
633
00:29:55.029 --> 00:29:57.490
it's like my bullets versus yours is i guess what
634
00:29:57.509 --> 00:30:01.119
i'm trying to say So that sucks, in my opinion.
635
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:03.380
I'm just not a big fan of that. So yeah,
636
00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:06.099
I've been playing and grinding Halo Infinite again. And I
637
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:07.799
just wanted to bring it up because I still think
638
00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:10.019
Halo Infinite's a great game that is not getting enough
639
00:30:10.059 --> 00:30:11.779
love to this day.
640
00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:13.319
Listen, the game's ass.
641
00:30:13.579 --> 00:30:16.980
We're not going to hide the fact that the game
642
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:17.500
is trash.
643
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:19.480
Didn't play the campaign. I don't know if it's bad.
644
00:30:19.529 --> 00:30:20.240
I'm sure it is.
645
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:23.210
343 kind of has their head on backwards when it
646
00:30:23.250 --> 00:30:26.220
comes to Halo stuff. Also, they just don't update anything,
647
00:30:26.259 --> 00:30:30.440
so it's just huge missed opportunities. Probably mainly Xbox not
648
00:30:30.460 --> 00:30:32.480
giving them the backing that they need, even though it's
649
00:30:32.660 --> 00:30:33.740
the biggest IP, one of.
650
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:34.990
Them, for Xbox.
651
00:30:35.029 --> 00:30:36.650
But yeah, I just want to bring it up because
652
00:30:36.670 --> 00:30:37.230
I've been loving it.
653
00:30:37.250 --> 00:30:38.329
I've been grinding ranks.
654
00:30:38.450 --> 00:30:41.069
If anybody plays out there, please, please play because it
655
00:30:41.089 --> 00:30:44.789
takes about three minutes to find a lobby now. So
656
00:30:44.849 --> 00:30:47.579
I literally can edit our shorts while I'm waiting for
657
00:30:47.619 --> 00:30:50.420
lobbies and get them completely done in the time frame
658
00:30:50.460 --> 00:30:50.779
I'm waiting.
659
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:53.339
It's crazy. We'll play.
660
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:57.660
a game with someone and they're in our lobby and
661
00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:59.740
we play four more games and they're still in our
662
00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:03.700
lobby yeah yeah yeah like yeah especially with ranks because
663
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.240
there's only so many people playing yeah.
664
00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:09.549
But yeah now my hot take is that halo infant
665
00:31:09.569 --> 00:31:12.029
it's actually a good game and i love it and
666
00:31:12.049 --> 00:31:15.630
i think the gunplay is fantastic i love how they
667
00:31:15.670 --> 00:31:18.490
implemented the guns and ranked i love that they switched
668
00:31:18.529 --> 00:31:20.450
the guns and ranked from the br to the one
669
00:31:20.490 --> 00:31:23.079
shot i just think it's like In terms of a
670
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:27.380
ranked setting or competitive matchmaking, it's super, super fun. And
671
00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:29.369
also the eSport was super fun to watch as well.
672
00:31:29.430 --> 00:31:34.069
So crazy how Halo Infinite had the highest highs that
673
00:31:34.089 --> 00:31:37.289
it had. And now it's just like you, most people
674
00:31:37.349 --> 00:31:39.779
don't even probably never played it or forgot it.
675
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:41.319
Ever came out. Yeah.
676
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:44.059
But I don't know. Cameron, did you ever really play
677
00:31:44.099 --> 00:31:45.740
it much, or did you like it? I saw you
678
00:31:45.809 --> 00:31:47.329
kind of laughing, so I didn't know if you thought.
679
00:31:47.190 --> 00:31:49.170
It was a good game.
680
00:31:49.289 --> 00:31:50.869
I was laughing because I was just imagining what people
681
00:31:50.890 --> 00:31:52.970
were going to say about your Overwatch vs.
682
00:31:53.009 --> 00:31:53.890
Call of Duty comment.
683
00:31:54.390 --> 00:31:58.119
Halo Infinite I actually did like a lot because it
684
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:02.220
reminded me of the best aspects of.
685
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:04.859
The more recent Halo games.
686
00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:07.940
Even Halo 5 I know people hated, but I liked
687
00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:10.640
a lot of aspects to Halo 5 and Halo 4, which, again,
688
00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.319
a lot.
689
00:32:11.180 --> 00:32:13.440
Of people did not like those. I didn't mind them.
690
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.500
Obviously, I preferred Reach over everything because Reach was just
691
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:21.440
amazing and Halo 3. But, no, I thought Infinite was multiplayer-wise.
692
00:32:21.569 --> 00:32:24.670
As they updated it, it did get genuinely better. Because
693
00:32:24.690 --> 00:32:28.349
I would play Ranked with you guys sometimes, too. And
694
00:32:28.470 --> 00:32:30.750
I think, overall, it was very fun. And they always
695
00:32:30.789 --> 00:32:33.130
added plenty of new game modes, too, that were fun.
696
00:32:33.549 --> 00:32:35.329
See, that's what I loved about it. I loved the
697
00:32:35.349 --> 00:32:35.890
new game modes.
698
00:32:36.430 --> 00:32:40.210
It's fun party games too. I think they really did
699
00:32:40.269 --> 00:32:44.210
try to a certain extent with what they had.
700
00:32:44.230 --> 00:32:48.859
Yeah, I didn't dislike Halo Infinite really at all.
701
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.980
The story, I know you said you didn't really play
702
00:32:52.019 --> 00:32:53.480
much of the story. I played the story.
703
00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:57.539
They had potential with the open world aspect of doing
704
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.759
a campaign within the Halo universe, but it kind of
705
00:33:00.779 --> 00:33:03.769
turned out to be just like a far cry clone
706
00:33:03.970 --> 00:33:06.710
type thing where you just go here's an enemy base
707
00:33:06.930 --> 00:33:10.319
go take it over and rinse and repeat so i
708
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:12.940
think they screwed that up because they could have had
709
00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:15.400
a lot of different types of objectives and like different
710
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:18.019
story elements to do there but they really kind of
711
00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:21.200
just rinse and repeat the whole thing because after you
712
00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:23.140
do that the only other option was you can go
713
00:33:23.180 --> 00:33:27.309
collect stuff or they had like um targets like they
714
00:33:27.329 --> 00:33:31.849
had like um different enemies that were kind of like bosses,
715
00:33:32.190 --> 00:33:34.589
even though it's Halo, so there's not much of a
716
00:33:34.630 --> 00:33:35.210
boss there.
717
00:33:35.230 --> 00:33:36.089
You just find a.
718
00:33:36.029 --> 00:33:39.150
Really good gun and kill the target.
719
00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:42.200
And you would unlock different weapons from them that were
720
00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:46.480
banished-themed weapons, which was cool because there was the energy sword.
721
00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:48.299
You could get a red energy sword. It was a
722
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:48.960
banished energy sword.
723
00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:50.700
Yeah, that was cool. I liked that aspect.
724
00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:56.190
They had variations of different rifles, like the crystal rifle
725
00:33:56.210 --> 00:33:58.069
that you can shoot out. It's kind of like the needler.
726
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.180
They had a banished version of that, if I recall.
727
00:34:02.099 --> 00:34:04.119
But I think that aspect, that was kind of cool,
728
00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:05.859
but again, I feel like they could have done more
729
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:10.289
with the story element, but they just chose really not to. But,
730
00:34:10.530 --> 00:34:12.969
you know, overall, I think Kill Empty was still pretty fun,
731
00:34:12.989 --> 00:34:15.309
and like I said, they, I think, tried to do
732
00:34:15.829 --> 00:34:19.269
more and listen to the fans as it progressed. I think, unfortunately, though,
733
00:34:19.289 --> 00:34:20.349
it was just one of those things where it was
734
00:34:20.369 --> 00:34:21.949
kind of too late, and the majority of the fans
735
00:34:21.969 --> 00:34:22.610
kind of packed.
736
00:34:22.469 --> 00:34:23.929
It up already and left, and.
737
00:34:26.889 --> 00:34:28.650
And that was really, I mean, I played the new
738
00:34:29.889 --> 00:34:32.949
campaign involved that they just put out and that's honestly fun.
739
00:34:33.449 --> 00:34:35.869
And it looks very, looks very good.
740
00:34:37.269 --> 00:34:38.929
I just kind of disappointed they didn't ever do a
741
00:34:39.070 --> 00:34:41.409
multiplayer with that because I think they could have really brought.
742
00:34:41.230 --> 00:34:44.190
Back a lot of fans with that.
743
00:34:44.289 --> 00:34:48.170
But yeah, I think that is what it is. I'm
744
00:34:48.590 --> 00:34:50.750
hoping they can be salvaged one day, but I don't know.
745
00:34:50.670 --> 00:34:51.170
At this point.
746
00:34:51.789 --> 00:34:54.510
I mean, it's just like when you think about where
747
00:34:54.590 --> 00:34:56.789
halo used to be when we grew up and like
748
00:34:57.150 --> 00:34:58.809
just how big of a game it was it was
749
00:34:58.849 --> 00:35:00.769
almost like halo versus call of duty but it was
750
00:35:00.809 --> 00:35:02.929
like call of duty was kind of like the little
751
00:35:02.949 --> 00:35:05.469
step rather like that didn't get the attention it was
752
00:35:05.489 --> 00:35:08.119
like halo was like the big deal so to see
753
00:35:08.179 --> 00:35:10.900
it just completely backwards now is insane and uh i
754
00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:14.639
gotta go back to my comment on uh overwatch versus
755
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:17.320
cod for me just to explain quickly i am just
756
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:21.679
a
traditional fps shooter player i like i like When
757
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:23.599
my advantage is I'm better than you at the game,
758
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:26.320
and that's what decides who should win the gunfight, in
759
00:35:26.340 --> 00:35:29.400
my opinion. And so, like, with Overwatch specifically, it's, like,
760
00:35:30.099 --> 00:35:32.360
I have a special ability, and it basically is, like,
761
00:35:32.739 --> 00:35:35.139
who decides to use it at what time gives you
762
00:35:35.179 --> 00:35:37.789
the advantage. And so that's, like, the only thing is, like,
763
00:35:37.829 --> 00:35:40.170
it seems like... Not like there's RNG to it, but
764
00:35:40.190 --> 00:35:42.489
there is, like, a little bit of randomness to, like, Overwatch.
765
00:35:43.030 --> 00:35:46.199
Again, obviously, there's, like, strategically ways... Strategic ways to play it.
766
00:35:46.809 --> 00:35:48.409
But I'm just playing for fun, man.
767
00:35:48.610 --> 00:35:48.789
So.
768
00:35:49.570 --> 00:35:51.630
For me, I'm just like, uh, yeah. Like if I'm
769
00:35:51.670 --> 00:35:52.150
playing like.
770
00:35:52.070 --> 00:35:54.480
A pub match, I want to play like domination or
771
00:35:54.500 --> 00:35:57.099
something like that, where like there's objective, but basically you're
772
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:00.260
just trying to get kills the whole time. And so yeah,
773
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:02.820
Call of Duty or Halo is like a fun kind
774
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:05.340
of happy medium where that lies. Although the games can
775
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:06.980
be trash, but I still have fun with them.
776
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:10.130
No, I'm the same. I, I, I'm at my core.
777
00:36:10.150 --> 00:36:10.909
I'm the same way.
778
00:36:10.929 --> 00:36:14.210
I mean, I did play Overwatch a lot and I
779
00:36:14.230 --> 00:36:18.150
played a crap ton of the ranked, um, But I
780
00:36:18.190 --> 00:36:21.590
was just imagining what people would say. But I think
781
00:36:22.010 --> 00:36:24.570
these days, people get so fixated on one or the other.
782
00:36:25.170 --> 00:36:28.269
But I think to your opinion and your point, I
783
00:36:28.309 --> 00:36:32.909
think most people that have a similar lifestyle, I think
784
00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:35.579
they just want to come home afterward, hop on.
785
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.579
A quick game. But with Overwatch and Marvel Rivals, you.
786
00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:41.179
Really have to study the characters and know what you're doing,
787
00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:44.599
which is the aspect I don't really like these days.
788
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:46.500
Which I used to like, but I don't like it anymore.
789
00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:49.159
And I've kind of grown out of that, but I
790
00:36:49.179 --> 00:36:51.699
get the appeal of that type of gameplay because, you know,
791
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:55.400
you want to get really good with this character, you know,
792
00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.199
or you
want to try out this move and combine
793
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:00.300
with your teammates using this character as well. Like I
794
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.329
get the appeal there, but.
795
00:37:02.139 --> 00:37:03.849
I'm with you, like at my core, I just want
796
00:37:03.869 --> 00:37:06.010
to get into a quick game and shoot stuff. Like
797
00:37:06.489 --> 00:37:08.909
I don't need anything crazy or I don't want to
798
00:37:08.989 --> 00:37:12.710
worry about a bunch of people who have years of
799
00:37:12.909 --> 00:37:15.510
experience with this character and I'm just hopping in after work.
800
00:37:15.550 --> 00:37:17.030
Like I don't want to deal with that.
801
00:37:17.900 --> 00:37:19.719
Yeah no i totally agree i think it's uh and
802
00:37:19.739 --> 00:37:22.039
then it's also like you you join in a lobby
803
00:37:22.059 --> 00:37:23.679
and like you don't have a healer and then like
804
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:25.440
if you don't have a healer you're gonna lose immediately
805
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:27.260
it's just like a whole thing like that so i
806
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.570
just i just prefer traditional style i think the new
807
00:37:30.610 --> 00:37:32.949
halo is the newest halo is like a great version
808
00:37:32.989 --> 00:37:36.369
of it because it is like um it really is
809
00:37:36.409 --> 00:37:40.829
just who's better at objective based gaming and like basically
810
00:37:40.869 --> 00:37:42.909
point click shooting and it's uh Yeah.
811
00:37:42.929 --> 00:37:44.550
It was a bit slower paced too. So that's kind
812
00:37:44.570 --> 00:37:45.090
of fun as well.
813
00:37:45.150 --> 00:37:47.219
It's like a, it's a little more strategic I think
814
00:37:47.260 --> 00:37:49.699
with like how you have to kind of like pull
815
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:52.280
away from certain aspects or like kind of hide a
816
00:37:52.300 --> 00:37:54.380
little bit to get health back and things like that.
817
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:56.960
You can't just get kills all the time.
818
00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:57.260
Yeah.
819
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:01.010
It's very old school like a strategy, right? Like, cause
820
00:38:01.030 --> 00:38:03.489
you have to know what guns spawn on each map.
821
00:38:03.630 --> 00:38:06.530
You want to get the best gun or you want
822
00:38:06.570 --> 00:38:08.889
to like take over this part of the map because
823
00:38:08.929 --> 00:38:11.360
it's a very strategic for like spawns or like if
824
00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:13.179
you want to hold the objective with the objectives over
825
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:16.010
there type of thing. So it's just kind of like
826
00:38:16.250 --> 00:38:18.909
I said, like easier to get into it versus like
827
00:38:19.110 --> 00:38:22.329
knowing all the characters and the dynamics that go with that.
828
00:38:22.369 --> 00:38:24.670
Like I think something you could just hop into and
829
00:38:24.690 --> 00:38:29.239
just use pure like instinct or like.
830
00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:32.460
What I would call a caveman like skills.
831
00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:35.920
Like that to me just works better for convenience and
832
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.639
just casualness versus like the memorization of all the character.
833
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:41.500
Abilities and Yeah, no, I totally agree.
834
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:44.940
Sorry to make this a Halo podcast episode, but since
835
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:48.050
the game is so dead by now, but kind of
836
00:38:48.070 --> 00:38:50.789
moving on from that, we have a bunch of stuff that,
837
00:38:51.329 --> 00:38:53.610
you know, we watched recently, want to review, like comics
838
00:38:53.630 --> 00:38:54.510
we've been getting into.
839
00:38:55.050 --> 00:38:57.369
So I'll let you guys start off. Lanterns, we didn't
840
00:38:57.409 --> 00:38:58.530
talk about episode three yet.
841
00:38:58.800 --> 00:38:59.260
Oh, yeah.
842
00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:03.500
Episode four also just dropped and holy crap. You guys,
843
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:05.300
you guys go first. You guys talk about it first.
844
00:39:05.989 --> 00:39:09.010
Dude, I loved episode four. I mean, the part where
845
00:39:09.050 --> 00:39:10.949
he literally goes and grabs a satellite.
846
00:39:11.030 --> 00:39:11.630
Spoiler alert.
847
00:39:12.050 --> 00:39:14.590
Dude, it was so good. And, like, such a Hal
848
00:39:14.610 --> 00:39:17.889
Gordon thing to do. Like, it was really awesome to see.
849
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:20.219
And, like, that's the thing I feel like they've been
850
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:22.159
waiting to tease and show off is, like, him with
851
00:39:22.179 --> 00:39:24.750
his abilities. Like, now that we're getting more and more
852
00:39:24.750 --> 00:39:25.340
taste of that.
853
00:39:25.340 --> 00:39:26.250
And, like, even the.
854
00:39:26.090 --> 00:39:28.170
Preview that they show at the end. Like, it's the
855
00:39:28.210 --> 00:39:30.469
next episode's about to be so nutty oh it's gonna
856
00:39:30.489 --> 00:39:32.760
be great i'm excited to see what they do and
857
00:39:32.780 --> 00:39:34.760
it was just good to see you know we get
858
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:36.800
we're getting more pieces of the plot like you know
859
00:39:36.820 --> 00:39:39.239
now we're getting huge pieces and oh yeah it's getting
860
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:43.679
crazy although the will scene was weird like when he
861
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:47.639
had john draw yeah yeah that wasn't really necessary.
862
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:52.059
Why uh the episode was called yeah yeah.
863
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:53.789
Dude yeah i don't.
864
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:56.769
Know yeah i don't know why that was necessary but
865
00:39:56.909 --> 00:39:59.610
uh nonetheless for comedic purposes i guess that was uh
866
00:39:59.650 --> 00:40:02.769
pretty pretty funny and weird but uh overall.
867
00:40:02.469 --> 00:40:04.670
The phenomenal even episode three though episode three.
868
00:40:04.570 --> 00:40:07.940
Is still just good yeah uh a lot of stuff
869
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:10.980
in episode three as well so um but dude i'm
870
00:40:11.019 --> 00:40:14.019
just loving this series and it's making me more hyped
871
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:18.539
to read my uh green lantern jeff johns book one that.
872
00:40:18.460 --> 00:40:23.260
I have so let's go I'm almost halfway there.
873
00:40:23.170 --> 00:40:26.849
So I'm just hyped to read it more so.
874
00:40:28.349 --> 00:40:29.190
Chris what do you think?
875
00:40:30.969 --> 00:40:35.690
I agree I think episode three was like good laying
876
00:40:35.769 --> 00:40:42.739
the groundwork for Jon Stewart's origin and like he literally
877
00:40:43.860 --> 00:40:46.940
was born to be Green Lantern his parents are like
878
00:40:47.739 --> 00:40:52.969
literally from an infant to where he is now, trained
879
00:40:53.010 --> 00:40:58.070
him to become Green Lantern. That, I think, is very interesting.
880
00:40:58.090 --> 00:41:03.409
I never did that in the comics before, so that's
881
00:41:03.570 --> 00:41:05.050
an interesting take.
882
00:41:06.369 --> 00:41:06.789
On that.
883
00:41:07.909 --> 00:41:12.250
And episode four was just great because we got to
884
00:41:12.289 --> 00:41:16.869
see more of Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart's dynamic with
885
00:41:16.909 --> 00:41:20.980
each other. and i do love the scene with the
886
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:25.570
satellite too like um there's points yeah yeah john was
887
00:41:25.610 --> 00:41:28.250
like uh it's east and then he's like just point
888
00:41:28.550 --> 00:41:32.550
yeah that was instantly he just grabs it yeah um
889
00:41:32.570 --> 00:41:36.030
yeah that was that was really cool um and the
890
00:41:36.050 --> 00:41:39.539
more i watch it the more i think uh kyle
891
00:41:39.579 --> 00:41:44.179
chandler was like the perfect casting oh yeah definitely he's
892
00:41:44.219 --> 00:41:48.739
doing a really great job um as hell. And yeah,
893
00:41:50.099 --> 00:41:54.670
I'm excited to see where it goes. I mean, they
894
00:41:54.690 --> 00:41:59.570
dropped Hector Hammond, uh, pretty, uh, big villain for Green Lantern.
895
00:42:00.090 --> 00:42:06.300
Um, and, uh, yeah, I mean, just, uh, really good
896
00:42:06.570 --> 00:42:06.980
so far.
897
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.559
One, one thing I liked that they did too, uh,
898
00:42:10.449 --> 00:42:13.219
with John's character because when he does his constructs like
899
00:42:13.460 --> 00:42:15.039
it's like he does every.
900
00:42:14.860 --> 00:42:18.320
Single piece oh yeah and like when so when they
901
00:42:18.340 --> 00:42:20.559
did like the digging machine you can literally see all
902
00:42:20.579 --> 00:42:23.969
the pieces form it's really good so like I thought
903
00:42:24.139 --> 00:42:26.170
that detail was really nice to see.
904
00:42:25.969 --> 00:42:28.989
And I was glad that they did that um yeah.
905
00:42:28.869 --> 00:42:30.489
Because that it just goes to show how his mind
906
00:42:30.530 --> 00:42:32.769
works you know he drew it from the start and
907
00:42:32.809 --> 00:42:35.670
then literally constructed it like It doesn't get more Jon
908
00:42:35.710 --> 00:42:38.150
Stewart than that, and that's pretty awesome.
909
00:42:38.170 --> 00:42:42.210
Yeah, it was cool they didn't include that because in
910
00:42:42.230 --> 00:42:45.809
the comics he's an architect, and it just goes to
911
00:42:45.869 --> 00:42:50.000
show his constructs are very thought through, and he gets
912
00:42:50.219 --> 00:42:54.699
each gear and bolt and everything in his constructs and
913
00:42:55.139 --> 00:42:58.800
knows how everything works in all the constructs he makes.
914
00:42:59.449 --> 00:43:01.630
Yeah no i totally agree too and i think like
915
00:43:01.650 --> 00:43:04.489
because i just recently finished episode three and four around
916
00:43:04.510 --> 00:43:08.659
the same time and so uh i just it's crazy
917
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:10.300
i didn't think i was gonna like this show as
918
00:43:10.340 --> 00:43:15.599
much as i do uh just they're dynamic together too
919
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:17.260
just the two of them and it's kind of like
920
00:43:17.300 --> 00:43:19.159
they're trying to get ahead of each other one step
921
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:21.059
at a time and kind of digging at each other
922
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:23.980
and these just little things and then the cliffhanger on
923
00:43:24.019 --> 00:43:28.110
episode four is just like incredible And, uh, yeah, the dynamic,
924
00:43:28.210 --> 00:43:31.010
the onscreen dynamic is awesome. I think like just the
925
00:43:31.070 --> 00:43:35.860
jokes and stuff, uh, seeing John as a sniper was awesome.
926
00:43:36.019 --> 00:43:38.639
Just like him, you know, falling in the water and
927
00:43:38.659 --> 00:43:40.980
stuff and he's stuck there and his beard starts growing
928
00:43:41.139 --> 00:43:43.340
out and he just like, you know, he's been there forever.
929
00:43:43.820 --> 00:43:46.099
And then of course, like, uh, again, spoiler warning, but the,
930
00:43:46.219 --> 00:43:49.539
the dishonorable discharge stuff from the military and like, they
931
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.679
kind of explained that really well. I just, I really,
932
00:43:52.739 --> 00:43:55.300
really am enjoying it. They're, they're killing it with the storytelling. Um,
933
00:43:56.650 --> 00:43:58.250
And what I really like about it is seeing Jon
934
00:43:58.269 --> 00:44:00.489
Stewart is like, it's not all fun and games becoming
935
00:44:00.510 --> 00:44:03.320
a superhero. It's like a legitimate duty. And his whole
936
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:07.500
life he was born for this and had to sacrifice friendships, relationships.
937
00:44:07.579 --> 00:44:11.019
I mean, no relationship with his brothers, no relationship with his,
938
00:44:11.599 --> 00:44:14.380
I mean, kind of with his mom. But one scene
939
00:44:14.420 -->
00:44:17.739
I really, really loved was he says, I'm ready to shoot.
940
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:19.440
As a kid, he's like, I'm ready to shoot. And
941
00:44:19.460 --> 00:44:20.900
his mom's like, I'll go wake up your dad. And
942
00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:23.099
he said, not dad, you. And he takes his mom
943
00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:23.500
out there.
944
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:29.429
Yeah, that was crazy. His mom was probably shitting bricks
945
00:44:29.550 --> 00:44:33.949
at that moment.
946
00:44:33.969 --> 00:44:36.030
I really thought he was about to just kill his mom.
947
00:44:36.670 --> 00:44:38.630
I was kind of waiting for.
948
00:44:38.550 --> 00:44:39.570
It to happen, too.
949
00:44:40.010 --> 00:44:41.869
How do you aim the gun higher?
950
00:44:42.429 --> 00:44:45.010
Because the kid seemed like his mom wasn't around.
951
00:44:45.030 --> 00:44:47.989
So I was just like, oh, he must have just
952
00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:49.400
shot her at this point.
953
00:44:49.420 --> 00:44:50.840
But obviously that didn't happen.
954
00:44:51.019 --> 00:44:51.739
Oh, my gosh.
955
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:55.679
I picked this up too. I'm going to read the
956
00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:58.559
first issue I got. Jeff Johns run. Such a cool
957
00:44:58.579 --> 00:45:00.880
cover as well.
958
00:45:00.900 --> 00:45:01.639
That's pretty awesome.
959
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:05.780
I also like how they keep spreading in distrust towards
960
00:45:05.820 --> 00:45:06.440
the Guardians.
961
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:10.659
I'm really interested to see what they do with that.
962
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:14.460
Obviously reading the Jeff Johns book right now, it's just
963
00:45:14.500 --> 00:45:17.239
cool to see some of the connections between the book
964
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:20.019
and this show so far.
965
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:21.940
You can tell there's a lot of good inspiration.
966
00:45:22.630 --> 00:45:24.969
That so we're just excited to see what more they
967
00:45:24.989 --> 00:45:25.809
do with that.
968
00:45:25.610 --> 00:45:29.469
And how they um implement more of the guardians presence.
969
00:45:29.170 --> 00:45:32.519
In this yeah no the actors are nailing it dude
970
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:35.199
i i really think that aaron pierre is like killing
971
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:36.559
it as john stewart.
972
00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:38.699
Like it's just yeah the the.
973
00:45:38.619 --> 00:45:41.699
Kind of like monotone voice that he has because he
974
00:45:41.780 --> 00:45:44.170
is like again wasn't really supposed to have any emotion
975
00:45:44.210 --> 00:45:46.550
his whole life was like he just kills it and
976
00:45:46.570 --> 00:45:48.769
then like he kind of does a little joke uh
977
00:45:48.809 --> 00:45:51.210
in episode four i believe oh yeah like watch town
978
00:45:51.230 --> 00:45:52.949
he's like was that just was that a joke junior
979
00:45:53.190 --> 00:45:56.269
when hal jordan says it and it's like dude the
980
00:45:56.369 --> 00:45:59.829
audience gets to experience it like the actors are experiencing
981
00:45:59.909 --> 00:46:01.449
it or like the characters are so it's just like
982
00:46:01.489 --> 00:46:04.769
a really fun watch uh could not recommend it enough
983
00:46:04.989 --> 00:46:08.489
again there's some graphic stuff uh just for whatever reason
984
00:46:08.550 --> 00:46:12.309
but um yeah no it's been awesome i would rate
985
00:46:12.789 --> 00:46:17.639
episode three so i'm thinking out of ten I would
986
00:46:17.699 --> 00:46:21.400
rate Episode 3 like a 7.5, 8 out of 10.
987
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:24.300
But I would rate Episode 4 probably a 9 out
988
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:25.820
of 10, just because.
989
00:46:26.019 --> 00:46:28.280
You know it's about to get insane. What about you guys?
990
00:46:29.219 --> 00:46:33.570
I'm with you there. I'm the same exact score with you.
991
00:46:33.789 --> 00:46:37.070
Alright, cool.
992
00:46:37.929 --> 00:46:42.789
I heard a theory that the Guardian that interviews Jon
993
00:46:43.590 --> 00:46:47.739
isn't actually a Guardian at all, and is actually the
994
00:46:47.780 --> 00:46:55.710
manhunter because in the comics the guardians are like shorter
995
00:46:56.010 --> 00:47:00.849
and all that but when and that's a three uh
996
00:47:01.510 --> 00:47:07.170
the guardian revealed um herself she was like tall really tall.
997
00:47:07.179 --> 00:47:11.139
Yeah true i don't know um Are.
998
00:47:10.980 --> 00:47:13.530
They short to compare to humans, or short to compare
999
00:47:13.550 --> 00:47:14.349
to regular aliens?
1000
00:47:14.409 --> 00:47:17.949
I think they're just short, like, to humans, because I've
1001
00:47:17.969 --> 00:47:22.489
been reading The Run, and there's been some Guardians in there,
1002
00:47:22.530 --> 00:47:26.809
and they're just pretty short creatures, yeah.
1003
00:47:27.449 --> 00:47:27.969
Interesting.
1004
00:47:28.179 --> 00:47:33.440
And, yeah, I think that'd be an interesting.
1005
00:47:35.380 --> 00:47:36.440
Twist, yeah, for sure.
1006
00:47:36.460 --> 00:47:39.159
That actually would be really cool.
1007
00:47:39.900 --> 00:47:42.320
Mm-hmm. Yeah, because I don't know.
1008
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:46.579
I mean, yeah, because they're, like, replacing Al Jordan. And, yeah,
1009
00:47:46.780 --> 00:47:48.659
it's like, what's the bigger plot behind it?
1010
00:47:48.719 --> 00:47:49.000
Yeah.
1011
00:47:49.300 --> 00:47:50.019
Yeah, it could be cool.
1012
00:47:51.019 --> 00:47:52.139
I didn't see it really.
1013
00:47:52.659 --> 00:47:52.969
Yeah.
1014
00:47:54.170 --> 00:47:54.989
Go ahead, Tom.
1015
00:47:55.570 --> 00:47:59.530
We're starting to think, like, we know what's going on
1016
00:47:59.590 --> 00:48:02.230
or whatever. But I feel like there's still going to
1017
00:48:02.250 --> 00:48:04.869
be something in there that, like, really throws.
1018
00:48:04.710 --> 00:48:05.309
Us for a loop.
1019
00:48:05.730 --> 00:48:05.989
Yeah.
1020
00:48:06.340 --> 00:48:06.530
Yeah.
1021
00:48:07.650 --> 00:48:09.070
I did see a pretty funny edit.
1022
00:48:09.110 --> 00:48:12.179
It was like, I don't know if you guys have
1023
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:14.000
heard that song where it goes like, kaboom.
1024
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:15.639
Yeah.
1025
00:48:15.699 --> 00:48:18.980
Yeah. Somebody showed the edit when the beam comes out.
1026
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:20.500
It was like, rest in peace, my granny.
1027
00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:22.599
She got hit by a balloon.
1028
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:23.559
It's so funny.
1029
00:48:23.820 --> 00:48:28.260
Yeah, no, but another scene that like completely, that scene
1030
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:30.050
blew me off guard. I was like, not expecting that
1031
00:48:30.090 --> 00:48:31.690
at all. And all of a sudden, it just happened.
1032
00:48:31.710 --> 00:48:32.909
It's like, oh, okay.
1033
00:48:33.750 --> 00:48:34.369
That was cool too.
1034
00:48:34.389 --> 00:48:35.309
It was how Jordan was.
1035
00:48:35.210 --> 00:48:38.679
Talking about, yeah, and how Jordan's like, Yeah, like, the
1036
00:48:38.699 --> 00:48:40.900
job is super lonely. Like, this is just the reality
1037
00:48:40.940 --> 00:48:43.199
of it. I would just advise you don't, like, have any, like,
1038
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:45.840
friendships or relationships at all. Keep people far away if
1039
00:48:45.860 --> 00:48:46.659
you really care about them.
1040
00:48:47.380 --> 00:48:51.500
I would love to see if they tease, like, his
1041
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:52.199
love interest.
1042
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.800
Because, like, the one girl that he falls in love with,
1043
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:56.679
she becomes, like, a purple lantern, I think.
1044
00:48:58.110 --> 00:49:01.130
I'm not sure about that. I mean.
1045
00:49:02.590 --> 00:49:03.190
I heard about that.
1046
00:49:03.210 --> 00:49:05.530
I think one of his love interests does become like
1047
00:49:05.670 --> 00:49:06.489
one of the lanterns.
1048
00:49:06.570 --> 00:49:08.619
I forget which color. I thought it was purple, but
1049
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:10.139
I could be wrong.
1050
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:11.940
I think purple's compassion.
1051
00:49:11.940 --> 00:49:15.119
That probably makes sense.
1052
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:15.699
Yeah.
1053
00:49:15.699 --> 00:49:22.099
Um, but no, I, I like how they, he, when
1054
00:49:22.139 --> 00:49:26.260
he said that, like about like not having a relationship,
1055
00:49:26.360 --> 00:49:30.579
it's a lonely job and stuff. And like, John probably
1056
00:49:30.619 --> 00:49:32.989
heard that and kind of like related to that. Cause
1057
00:49:33.030 --> 00:49:36.710
growing up, he was lonely and kind of just like,
1058
00:49:37.070 --> 00:49:42.789
probably felt like an alien, um, And I think John
1059
00:49:42.849 --> 00:49:46.969
is starting to like feel for how, like, I mean,
1060
00:49:47.969 --> 00:49:50.110
he got chose to be green lantern, but it wasn't
1061
00:49:50.190 --> 00:49:51.789
all sunshine and rainbows for him.
1062
00:49:52.670 --> 00:49:54.309
Right. So, yeah.
1063
00:49:54.869 --> 00:49:56.510
And for John too, it's not like, Hey, you're going
1064
00:49:56.530 --> 00:49:58.949
to be like a green lantern sidekick or like even
1065
00:49:58.989 --> 00:50:01.489
like a partner with how it's like, you need to
1066
00:50:01.510 --> 00:50:01.969
replace them.
1067
00:50:02.010 --> 00:50:03.659
And he's like, not supposed to really know.
1068
00:50:03.949 --> 00:50:05.519
So that you.
1069
00:50:05.449 --> 00:50:06.570
Have to take it from him.
1070
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:07.280
Yeah.
1071
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:07.920
Yeah.
1072
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:09.380
That's like not an easy dynamic.
1073
00:50:09.420 --> 00:50:12.449
So, they're kind of getting closer and like yeah there's
1074
00:50:12.469 --> 00:50:14.340
just a lot going on and of course i like
1075
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:15.940
episode four is.
1076
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:23.079
Awesome i like the sinestro aspect um yeah like i
1077
00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:24.699
mean he was considered one of.
1078
00:50:24.679 --> 00:50:28.719
The perfect casting oh he's a dude yeah killer such
1079
00:50:28.739 --> 00:50:30.760
a good i'm telling you if you guys haven't seen
1080
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:33.739
banshee you gotta watch banshee he that guy that actor.
1081
00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:38.519
Is really good you'll see how like how like I
1082
00:50:38.539 --> 00:50:40.360
think there's a lot of aspects to his character in
1083
00:50:40.380 --> 00:50:43.820
Banshee that also are in Sinestra like just by the
1084
00:50:44.579 --> 00:50:47.840
the way they act and like their um like character
1085
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:51.119
roots are kind of similar um so I would recommend
1086
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:54.090
watching that show because in Banshee he plays like an
1087
00:50:54.170 --> 00:50:58.710
Amish crime lord and so like he comes from obviously
1088
00:50:58.769 --> 00:51:01.369
being Amish that's like a whole order of doing things
1089
00:51:01.909 --> 00:51:04.130
and turning your back against that order to like go
1090
00:51:04.269 --> 00:51:07.329
do heinous things like It's very similar to Sinestro turning
1091
00:51:07.369 --> 00:51:10.139
his back on the Green Lantern Corps and going to yellow.
1092
00:51:10.739 --> 00:51:15.280
So it's very similar character parallels. I just recommend watching
1093
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:18.079
Banshee in general is overall a pretty good show, but
1094
00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:22.650
for him especially, the actor does a phenomenal job.
1095
00:51:22.789 --> 00:51:26.650
Yeah, good show. Good recommendation. Yeah, I don't know.
1096
00:51:26.690 --> 00:51:28.789
Is there anything else you guys have been watching recently
1097
00:51:28.809 --> 00:51:31.210
or anything you've been... I mean, if you guys want
1098
00:51:31.230 --> 00:51:33.010
to talk about any comic stuff you've been reading, I
1099
00:51:33.030 --> 00:51:34.800
know you guys are both in Green Lantern.
1100
00:51:34.539 --> 00:51:39.679
Now, so yeah what else i'm i'm actually taking a
1101
00:51:40.019 --> 00:51:43.539
pause from green lantern right now i mean i've read
1102
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:48.510
half a compendium um i'm hoping i can get uh
1103
00:51:48.610 --> 00:51:54.110
through this by uh batman day um batman a death
1104
00:51:54.170 --> 00:51:58.429
in the family oh yeah um i mean classic story
1105
00:51:58.530 --> 00:52:01.670
right there um and uh under.
1106
00:52:01.489 --> 00:52:04.880
The red hood I mean, it's.
1107
00:52:04.219 --> 00:52:11.170
Just like such a typical moment in his story. And
1108
00:52:12.409 --> 00:52:15.989
I think it would be like, I wonder what I
1109
00:52:16.030 --> 00:52:20.940
would have voted if I were into comics at that time.
1110
00:52:21.780 --> 00:52:23.420
Cause it was like pretty cool.
1111
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:27.079
They let fans call in the number and vote if
1112
00:52:27.119 --> 00:52:29.780
they wanted Jason Todd to live or die.
1113
00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:31.199
That's crazy.
1114
00:52:31.769 --> 00:52:40.130
And everyone's voted for him to die. So, yeah. I mean.
1115
00:52:40.989 --> 00:52:43.050
You also got to feel so bad if you're the
1116
00:52:43.090 --> 00:52:46.360
guy that wrote Jason Todd and created the character.
1117
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:47.659
And everybody wants him to die.
1118
00:52:47.739 --> 00:52:49.579
Everyone hates him.
1119
00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:51.340
Yeah, that would really suck.
1120
00:52:53.559 --> 00:52:54.420
Yep.
1121
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:58.849
No, I'm excited to read that stuff it'll just uh
1122
00:52:59.230 --> 00:53:03.659
make me appreciate uh batman even more and i've like
1123
00:53:03.980 --> 00:53:06.659
seen red hood before and thought he's just so cool
1124
00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:09.840
so i'm excited to like kind of see the beginning
1125
00:53:10.019 --> 00:53:13.519
of that um yeah uh.
1126
00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:15.800
I've read i used to read uh back when i
1127
00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:18.250
don't know if they still are doing the run uh
1128
00:53:18.590 --> 00:53:21.130
but like when they did the new 52 uh i
1129
00:53:21.170 --> 00:53:23.150
read the red hood and the outlaws like a.
1130
00:53:23.110 --> 00:53:24.750
Pretty good yeah i've heard of that i've.
1131
00:53:24.630 --> 00:53:27.159
Heard of that Really good stuff, because when he teams
1132
00:53:27.219 --> 00:53:30.039
up with the Red Arrow, they have a really cool dynamic.
1133
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:32.880
And they add Bizarro in later down the line, or
1134
00:53:33.019 --> 00:53:35.699
maybe even early on, I forget. And Bizarro and the
1135
00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:39.130
Red Hood kind of have a dynamic that was kind
1136
00:53:39.150 --> 00:53:43.190
of like in Suicide Squad with King Shark. And the
1137
00:53:43.210 --> 00:53:45.570
way they treat him is very similar to Bizarro, like
1138
00:53:45.610 --> 00:53:46.389
that type of dynamic.
1139
00:53:46.409 --> 00:53:46.929
That's awesome.
1140
00:53:46.969 --> 00:53:51.610
Giant, idiot, goofball. And there's even some touching.
1141
00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:55.860
Emotional plot points too with bizarro it's kind of cool
1142
00:53:55.880 --> 00:53:58.179
that they touch on but um no the red hood
1143
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:03.440
is awesome awesome character basically dc's uh punisher again kind
1144
00:54:03.460 --> 00:54:08.860
of character so yeah um and uh you'll definitely like
1145
00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:11.940
under the red hood too chris uh oh yeah.
1146
00:54:11.860 --> 00:54:15.219
I've heard it's like one of the best batman stories
1147
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:16.880
yeah come.
1148
00:54:17.039 --> 00:54:20.000
On what i'm reading though is uh obviously i gotta
1149
00:54:20.019 --> 00:54:24.139
finish the green lantern one uh i Avengers, time runs out.
1150
00:54:24.260 --> 00:54:25.420
Still got to finish this one.
1151
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:32.110
It's just kind of slower for me. I was expecting
1152
00:54:32.130 --> 00:54:35.849
it to be of the same level of Secret Wars,
1153
00:54:35.909 --> 00:54:37.369
but it's still really good.
1154
00:54:37.389 --> 00:54:39.320
It's just taking more time.
1155
00:54:39.340 --> 00:54:40.239
Lots of information.
1156
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:41.840
Yeah, a lot.
1157
00:54:41.719 --> 00:54:45.219
More information exposition than I was expecting. And then I
1158
00:54:45.260 --> 00:54:46.179
want to read this too.
1159
00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:50.980
Latest yeah that's awesome yeah i mean come on yeah i'll.
1160
00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:54.320
Just pick cover yeah the energon universe is just so
1161
00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:56.219
so dope i'm excited to read more.
1162
00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:57.360
I was glad that you guys were talking about the
1163
00:54:57.400 --> 00:54:58.519
last episode.
1164
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:00.179
Yeah because i i was trying to figure out like
1165
00:55:00.219 --> 00:55:03.190
where it started from and i forgot about void rivals
1166
00:55:03.230 --> 00:55:05.570
so i need to get into that and check that
1167
00:55:05.670 --> 00:55:08.630
out too and yeah i have actual transformers that.
1168
00:55:08.590 --> 00:55:10.030
Are in energon.
1169
00:55:11.409 --> 00:55:13.909
I have not heard a lot of people talking about
1170
00:55:14.070 --> 00:55:21.099
void rivals anymore me neither um yeah um eventually i'll
1171
00:55:21.139 --> 00:55:24.780
probably check it out um seems pretty cool i mean
1172
00:55:24.940 --> 00:55:28.559
it's never been a thing before it was created as
1173
00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:32.539
his own thing and then they had that universe merged
1174
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:35.860
with gi joe and transformers which i thought was pretty
1175
00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:38.619
cool um yeah that is.
1176
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:42.059
Really cool yeah um i've been reading and i'll probably
1177
00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:44.719
i'll show this anyways but i've been reading uh the
1178
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:48.360
third trade for absolute batman Finally got to read the
1179
00:55:48.639 --> 00:55:51.559
Daniel Warren Johnson Batman, and holy peak, man, dude.
1180
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:55.860
It's just genuinely so good. The art is incredible. Like,
1181
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:58.679
I'll just... I love how he called it Batman, dude.
1182
00:55:58.739 --> 00:56:01.400
It's insanely good.
1183
00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:07.099
The Arkham event, I thought, was, like, fine. It's just, like,
1184
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:11.760
a good added story to Arkham Asylum, and... Yeah, you
1185
00:56:11.820 --> 00:56:12.800
know what I'm saying.
1186
00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:15.159
But, like, it's just, like, it was very.
1187
00:56:15.710 --> 00:56:18.969
dreary and sad and depressing and uh i read it
1188
00:56:19.010 --> 00:56:23.769
right before bed so it's just like yeah and uh
1189
00:56:24.369 --> 00:56:26.909
yeah so but it's it's still pretty good um but
1190
00:56:26.929 --> 00:56:29.429
then i'm back into the actual absolute batman story and
1191
00:56:29.610 --> 00:56:32.989
uh with wonder woman and stuff and wow i mean
1192
00:56:33.869 --> 00:56:35.349
dude i don't know if it gets much better than
1193
00:56:35.389 --> 00:56:37.360
this genuinely every time i read a new issue of
1194
00:56:37.389 --> 00:56:39.900
absolute batman i'm like oh you know it can't get
1195
00:56:39.940 --> 00:56:41.760
better than what what there is and then it's just
1196
00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:46.550
like something even cooler happens and uh I just really
1197
00:56:46.610 --> 00:56:48.429
love absolute Batman and I, and I hope that it
1198
00:56:48.469 --> 00:56:51.710
just goes on for a really, really long time if possible. Um,
1199
00:56:52.070 --> 00:56:54.670
and then there's the animated show that potentially they're going.
1200
00:56:54.340 --> 00:56:55.380
To be making.
1201
00:56:55.420 --> 00:56:57.960
When that comes out, I'm going to be so hyped
1202
00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:01.280
to like, yeah, there's never like that's if you, if
1203
00:57:01.300 --> 00:57:04.380
you're going to make an animation of any comic book event,
1204
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:09.150
like dude, that is prime, perfect comic to make an animation.
1205
00:57:09.550 --> 00:57:11.269
It's going to look awesome animated too.
1206
00:57:12.539 --> 00:57:15.179
I hope they go on and do their own stories
1207
00:57:15.260 --> 00:57:17.230
in the animated show as well.
1208
00:57:17.250 --> 00:57:18.809
That'd be cool, yeah.
1209
00:57:18.969 --> 00:57:22.409
Branch out and do a different story than the comics.
1210
00:57:22.429 --> 00:57:26.599
Kind of like a Batman the Animated Series type thing
1211
00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:28.960
where it's its own stories.
1212
00:57:28.980 --> 00:57:31.300
I think that would be pretty cool.
1213
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:36.059
Yeah, I've also been reading the Bad Seeds event. So,
1214
00:57:36.139 --> 00:57:37.599
so far, and I don't know if you guys have
1215
00:57:37.619 --> 00:57:38.440
been reading it so far.
1216
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:39.199
I think it's okay.
1217
00:57:39.219 --> 00:57:41.349
Um, I have not, I didn't read like the Matt
1218
00:57:41.369 --> 00:57:44.090
fraction Batman stuff, so I'm kind of picking it up
1219
00:57:44.170 --> 00:57:46.690
from the bad seeds event and going through that. Uh,
1220
00:57:46.750 --> 00:57:49.110
it's been kind of fun though. Um, but when you're
1221
00:57:49.130 --> 00:57:51.090
comparing the two, like what I would rather read would
1222
00:57:51.110 --> 00:57:52.480
always be absolute Batman probably.
1223
00:57:52.500 --> 00:57:55.300
Uh, but it is pretty fun still. Like it's still
1224
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:57.039
a good read and it's been interesting.
1225
00:57:57.960 --> 00:57:59.179
Yeah.
1226
00:57:59.219 --> 00:58:00.079
Yeah.
1227
00:58:00.699 --> 00:58:03.239
Sunset is the one I have. And I read that
1228
00:58:03.260 --> 00:58:05.369
and that was pretty good. But I've also been reading
1229
00:58:05.389 --> 00:58:10.969
that whole Batman story so far. And really, again, I think, like,
1230
00:58:11.050 --> 00:58:14.909
to your point, Jaden, like, if I had to pick
1231
00:58:14.929 --> 00:58:17.179
between Absolute Batman or that, I mean, I'm probably going
1232
00:58:17.199 --> 00:58:20.039
to pick Absolute Batman. But, like, I think I said
1233
00:58:20.059 --> 00:58:24.460
this in another episode, but, like, they're just two different Saturday, like,
1234
00:58:24.500 --> 00:58:25.460
morning cartoon feels.
1235
00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:28.119
So, like, the newest one is, like, Saturday morning. And
1236
00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:30.119
Absolute is, like, late Friday night.
1237
00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:33.219
Like, Tommy, like, about to see something gruesome.
1238
00:58:33.260 --> 00:58:33.760
Yeah. Yeah.
1239
00:58:34.550 --> 00:58:36.110
It just depends on the mood, but overall, I think
1240
00:58:36.190 --> 00:58:38.110
I'd still pick Absolute Batman over.
1241
00:58:38.050 --> 00:58:38.969
That fraction of them.
1242
00:58:39.590 --> 00:58:41.829
Yeah, I think what's cool about it is that the
1243
00:58:42.150 --> 00:58:45.489
characters are all so different than what you're used to.
1244
00:58:45.539 --> 00:58:46.920
So you don't know what to expect.
1245
00:58:47.159 --> 00:58:51.579
Whereas the characters' storylines might be a bit different in
1246
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:54.679
main Batman titles, but you kind of know what to
1247
00:58:54.719 --> 00:58:58.769
expect from a design standpoint and the reasoning behind the
1248
00:58:58.809 --> 00:58:59.710
stuff that they're doing.
1249
00:59:00.230 --> 00:59:02.150
So it's like that kind of stuff you can't really...
1250
00:59:02.550 --> 00:59:04.699
come to expect what's going to happen in absolute batman
1251
00:59:04.719 --> 00:59:06.239
which is just exciting.
1252
00:59:06.579 --> 00:59:09.010
Yeah i will say though they do switch up the
1253
00:59:09.050 --> 00:59:11.369
designs for all the characters in the Matt Fraction one
1254
00:59:11.429 --> 00:59:14.230
in a good way to where it looks refreshing, both
1255
00:59:14.269 --> 00:59:18.769
visually and just story-wise. Because, like, all the characters have
1256
00:59:18.869 --> 00:59:21.409
some aspect to them that's slightly different and new, and
1257
00:59:21.449 --> 00:59:24.210
it feels, like, revitalized. It honestly feels like a few, like,
1258
00:59:24.820 --> 00:59:27.920
had a painting and then you added watercolor to it
1259
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:29.719
and just saw the color like dip in and pop.
1260
00:59:29.739 --> 00:59:31.780
Like that's what it feels like to me.
1261
00:59:32.320 --> 00:59:35.969
Just everything, the vibrancy of it really is really nice.
1262
00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:36.820
Yeah.
1263
00:59:36.949 --> 00:59:40.750
Plus Batman suit is pretty sweet. So that always helps.
1264
00:59:40.989 --> 00:59:43.650
It's such a nice addition. I mean, it looks so clean.
1265
00:59:44.150 --> 00:59:44.909
Yeah.
1266
00:59:46.190 --> 00:59:46.550
Yeah.
1267
00:59:46.769 --> 00:59:52.570
I've been loving the art, Jorge Jimenez's art for Fractions Run.
1268
00:59:52.849 --> 00:59:53.590
It's incredible.
1269
00:59:53.829 --> 00:59:58.710
And yeah, I love how they show Batman using his gadgets.
1270
00:59:59.329 --> 01:00:01.030
Yeah. And they explain it too.
1271
01:00:01.130 --> 01:00:01.690
I don't know.
1272
01:00:01.730 --> 01:00:03.889
Yeah. They explain what it does.
1273
01:00:03.949 --> 01:00:07.710
They have like little, little boxes that you can read,
1274
01:00:07.750 --> 01:00:12.909
like what the gadget does, which is super cool. And like,
1275
01:00:13.409 --> 01:00:16.389
I don't know if you get that much in like
1276
01:00:16.849 --> 01:00:21.739
modern Batman stories, him using gadgets a lot and, it's
1277
01:00:21.780 --> 01:00:25.820
just cool what type of gadgets he uses sometimes he
1278
01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:29.579
uses stuff I didn't even know he had which is
1279
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:30.440
sweet yeah.
1280
01:00:31.519 --> 01:00:33.639
Yeah it's actually really cool I noticed that reading through
1281
01:00:33.659 --> 01:00:35.679
the bad seeds event there was some of that in
1282
01:00:35.699 --> 01:00:39.190
there which was just really really cool if you guys
1283
01:00:39.230 --> 01:00:40.789
want though we can hop into the pool list now
1284
01:00:40.809 --> 01:00:42.250
you guys want to talk about.
1285
01:00:42.110 --> 01:00:44.010
The stuff you're picking up you want to start us
1286
01:00:44.070 --> 01:00:44.690
off today.
1287
01:00:45.050 --> 01:00:48.829
Yeah let me pull that up let me share my screen.
1288
01:00:50.050 --> 01:00:52.659
Yep oh.
1289
01:00:53.900 --> 01:00:56.420
And so to explain this real fast again i always
1290
01:00:56.440 --> 01:00:57.820
try to do this but the full list part
of
1291
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:01.130
the podcast uh is basically just the comics that we
1292
01:01:01.150 --> 01:01:03.570
picked up this week stuff we wanted to pick up
1293
01:01:03.630 --> 01:01:06.090
on wednesday whether it's new stuff stuff we just found
1294
01:01:06.110 --> 01:01:07.750
at the comic book shop we're just trying to share it.
1295
01:01:07.809 --> 01:01:11.019
All so yeah yeah so obviously i'm going to be
1296
01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:14.679
picking up uh volume three at some point really excited
1297
01:01:14.699 --> 01:01:16.739
to do that I really like Batman.
1298
01:01:16.579 --> 01:01:18.119
And Robin, your one dynamic duo.
1299
01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:18.699
Yes.
1300
01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:19.719
The art's really good.
1301
01:01:20.179 --> 01:01:21.320
Oh, it's great, dude. I love it. The art is
1302
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:21.920
really nice.
1303
01:01:23.099 --> 01:01:25.699
Hyped for this Challenges of Doom. I really like the Mr.
1304
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:28.449
Fantastic one, so the Spider-Man one's probably going to be
1305
01:01:28.469 --> 01:01:31.090
just as cool. Doom Quest, you know, of.
1306
01:01:31.130 --> 01:01:34.030
Course, great series so far. Really illustrates his ego and
1307
01:01:34.170 --> 01:01:37.289
his drive to just solve whatever problem and get the
1308
01:01:37.309 --> 01:01:37.949
credit for it.
1309
01:01:39.070 --> 01:01:45.360
The Punisher, team up with Deadpool. I'm excited for that because...
1310
01:01:45.690 --> 01:01:49.289
I thought the Deadpool comic was underwhelming, so I'm hoping.
1311
01:01:49.030 --> 01:01:50.349
This Punisher one will deliver it.
1312
01:01:51.409 --> 01:01:55.469
And then Spawn 77, of course, hyped for that.
1313
01:01:55.489 --> 01:01:59.400
And the art is very interesting, so I'm excited to
1314
01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:02.469
see what all they do with the art style of it.
1315
01:02:02.519 --> 01:02:05.320
But yeah, I'm hyped to see the Spawn 77, that's
1316
01:02:05.340 --> 01:02:05.719
for sure.
1317
01:02:05.739 --> 01:02:09.320
Yeah, the art style on Spawn 77 is crazy. The
1318
01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:11.639
inside artwork is crazy.
1319
01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:12.380
Yeah.
1320
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:14.110
Cause the guy that did the art, I read his
1321
01:02:14.139 --> 01:02:17.869
other series called Midnight Man, which I didn't really, I
1322
01:02:18.329 --> 01:02:19.690
couldn't really get into that much.
1323
01:02:19.969 --> 01:02:21.929
I didn't really like it, but I did like the art.
1324
01:02:21.969 --> 01:02:23.869
The art above all else is really cool.
1325
01:02:23.889 --> 01:02:27.579
Just the story didn't really capture me. I read the
1326
01:02:27.619 --> 01:02:31.219
first two issues, I think of that. But I am
1327
01:02:31.260 --> 01:02:34.699
hyped to see how Spawn 77 is. And just as
1328
01:02:34.739 --> 01:02:38.489
a concept, I don't, I'm assuming it's futuristic and like,
1329
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:41.760
spawn in the future sounds amazing and like just his
1330
01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:46.679
design right here looks so cool so i'm definitely excited
1331
01:02:46.719 --> 01:02:47.440
to see what they do with.
1332
01:02:47.380 --> 01:02:50.099
That see i'm a little bit mixed on the design
1333
01:02:50.139 --> 01:02:52.739
like the gloves i do not love but i do
1334
01:02:52.780 --> 01:02:55.440
think the color combination and stuff is like kind of
1335
01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:59.019
sick and i saw the artist uh when he pitched
1336
01:02:59.119 --> 01:03:01.659
it doing it to todd mcfarland because i guess todd
1337
01:03:01.699 --> 01:03:05.079
mcfarland was like basically like didn't really have plans to
1338
01:03:05.119 --> 01:03:07.340
do this but the artist i cannot remember who it
1339
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:12.409
is uh yeah mark spears yeah i guess he reached
1340
01:03:12.449 --> 01:03:14.110
out to todd and was like it would be awesome
1341
01:03:14.130 --> 01:03:16.869
to do like a comic about the original design um
1342
01:03:17.789 --> 01:03:20.570
but like putting it in artwork i don't know how
1343
01:03:20.610 --> 01:03:22.550
to do it so i guess like his uh whole
1344
01:03:22.590 --> 01:03:25.960
style was like a flat matte color at first And
1345
01:03:25.980 --> 01:03:27.079
Mark was like, we're not going to do it.
1346
01:03:27.079 --> 01:03:28.320
If it looks like this, I just can't get it
1347
01:03:28.360 --> 01:03:28.719
to pop.
1348
01:03:28.780 --> 01:03:31.630
And then he did this like transparent or sorry, translucent,
1349
01:03:31.730 --> 01:03:35.150
like sort of shiny color. And he was like, yeah,
1350
01:03:35.190 --> 01:03:36.610
we nailed it. And we got to do this for sure.
1351
01:03:36.869 --> 01:03:45.420
And I think it's pretty cool looking. I like like that.
1352
01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:48.420
Yeah, that's sick.
1353
01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:51.179
When he's drawn like that, I think it's pretty awesome.
1354
01:03:51.280 --> 01:03:52.920
I just, for some reason, I do not like the,
1355
01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:54.139
like the a cover as much.
1356
01:03:54.860 --> 01:03:57.199
Like hyper realistic um.
1357
01:03:57.179 --> 01:04:00.000
Yeah i love this type of stuff to like especially
1358
01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:01.659
that he like looks like he's made out of chrome
1359
01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:04.320
almost like that yeah he looks kind of cool because
1360
01:04:04.340 --> 01:04:06.119
like alex ross does the same thing and i love
1361
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:10.989
all his stuff um so i'm i really like this
1362
01:04:11.010 --> 01:04:13.389
but i get that perspective completely and i'm excited to
1363
01:04:13.449 --> 01:04:18.090
see uh just what the story is oh 1977 okay.
1364
01:04:17.710 --> 01:04:20.190
Yeah i'm hyped to see if you like it um
1365
01:04:20.730 --> 01:04:22.469
excited to see like what you think about it because
1366
01:04:22.489 --> 01:04:25.019
you've read you know plenty of spawn stuff at this
1367
01:04:25.099 --> 01:04:25.960
point so i.
1368
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:27.099
Don't know why i was thinking it was like 2077
1369
01:04:27.099 --> 01:04:31.969
like like it's futuristic but that makes more.
1370
01:04:31.869 --> 01:04:34.949
Sense now it does look futuristic.
1371
01:04:34.489 --> 01:04:37.849
Yeah so that makes more sense given his design and
1372
01:04:37.889 --> 01:04:42.570
him holding a little in the uzi so very very
1373
01:04:42.610 --> 01:04:45.070
on par with that theme so but yeah i'm excited
1374
01:04:45.090 --> 01:04:46.869
to see what it's about and get into it um
1375
01:04:47.349 --> 01:04:51.099
yeah again with spawn with me you can't go wrong
1376
01:04:51.639 --> 01:04:54.539
right it's like one of my favorite things so like
1377
01:04:54.559 --> 01:04:54.980
to see.
1378
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:58.639
It yeah no that's that's good chris i'll go first
1379
01:04:58.679 --> 01:05:00.340
and you go last we'll say best for last i
1380
01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:03.949
know you got some good stuff oh yeah um i
1381
01:05:04.010 --> 01:05:05.889
actually had a little bit of a busier week this
1382
01:05:05.909 --> 01:05:07.570
week with my pickup so i got the uh the
1383
01:05:07.610 --> 01:05:10.909
volume three for the absolute batman series gosh i'm dropping
1384
01:05:10.929 --> 01:05:12.190
it all it's tough to do this.
1385
01:05:13.110 --> 01:05:15.329
Uh bad seeds event.
1386
01:05:17.309 --> 01:05:19.150
Uh doom quest of course got it can't go wrong
1387
01:05:19.190 --> 01:05:21.769
with doom quest like cam said it's great uh batman
1388
01:05:21.789 --> 01:05:23.699
and robin dynamic duos.
1389
01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:26.260
Again, really, really awesome. The art in this is really cool.
1390
01:05:28.019 --> 01:05:31.239
I said this before, but it's almost like that watercolor
1391
01:05:31.300 --> 01:05:34.230
aspect where a couple pages are very blue hues.
1392
01:05:34.650 --> 01:05:36.389
Some of them are red hues. I'm sure there's going
1393
01:05:36.409 --> 01:05:39.269
to be some purple here. Love the art there.
1394
01:05:39.789 --> 01:05:44.309
Then I picked up some one-offs for me. The first issue,
1395
01:05:44.329 --> 01:05:46.690
the Jeff Johns Green Lantern run, just thought this art
1396
01:05:46.730 --> 01:05:50.130
was really cool. It's only like $ 3.
1397
01:05:48.530 --> 01:05:50.760
Or $ 4, so I had to get it. Then I
1398
01:05:50.820 --> 01:05:51.599
also found this.
1399
01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:55.139
Superior spider-man cover i thought was really cool mark bagley
1400
01:05:55.199 --> 01:05:57.500
so i really like how he draws spider-man and i
1401
01:05:58.039 --> 01:05:59.500
mean this is pretty damn and that.
1402
01:05:59.420 --> 01:06:03.380
Story is so good like i love uh doc ock
1403
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:06.099
and peter pause and peter's body.
1404
01:06:05.980 --> 01:06:10.510
Like yeah no it is a really cool uh like
1405
01:06:10.909 --> 01:06:13.889
idea though i think and it's
executed pretty well though
1406
01:06:13.929 --> 01:06:15.929
so yeah those are my pickups i'm really excited to
1407
01:06:15.989 --> 01:06:16.269
read uh.
1408
01:06:17.949 --> 01:06:20.269
To read the, um, Bad Seeds event.
1409
01:06:20.110 --> 01:06:22.630
Again, but also start this Green Lantern to see, like,
1410
01:06:23.050 --> 01:06:24.489
you know, how I like it, because I've never read
1411
01:06:24.550 --> 01:06:26.969
anything Green Lantern, so, yeah.
1412
01:06:28.130 --> 01:06:32.900
All right, um, so, start off, Bad Seeds again, uh,
1413
01:06:34.360 --> 01:06:41.559
Gotham Central, really, uh, excited to check that out, um, Supergirl,
1414
01:06:41.940 --> 01:06:47.750
Kingdom of Zod event, um, This was really cool and interesting.
1415
01:06:47.829 --> 01:06:52.989
They go back to Krypton.
1416
01:06:54.590 --> 01:06:58.329
I won't explain how they get there, but it's just cool.
1417
01:06:58.530 --> 01:07:04.800
They're seeing Krypton again and just the aspect of that. Yeah.
1418
01:07:07.019 --> 01:07:16.389
Action Comics, another Kingdom of Zod continuation. Dynamic Duos, really
1419
01:07:16.550 --> 01:07:19.969
been loving Chris Hamney's art, really becoming one of my
1420
01:07:20.010 --> 01:07:20.829
favorite artists.
1421
01:07:21.210 --> 01:07:24.090
I just love his style. Really cool.
1422
01:07:24.110 --> 01:07:25.050
It's got that classic feel.
1423
01:07:25.949 --> 01:07:26.260
Yeah.
1424
01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:31.920
The Fury of Firestorm, number six. I feel like this
1425
01:07:31.980 --> 01:07:34.059
is a very slept on.
1426
01:07:34.699 --> 01:07:39.099
Series right here. Really good. Never read any Firestorm before.
1427
01:07:39.150 --> 01:07:42.030
But I feel like this was a great jumping on
1428
01:07:42.070 --> 01:07:47.530
point for the character. Doom Quest number four. I, uh,
1429
01:07:47.590 --> 01:07:53.380
read this and pretty insane. Um, really cool, uh, issue
1430
01:07:53.440 --> 01:08:00.170
right there. Um, Punisher, um, big guns, um, little, uh,
1431
01:08:01.989 --> 01:08:08.110
arc they're doing. I actually enjoyed the Deadpool part of it.
1432
01:08:09.449 --> 01:08:14.280
I've been reading the Deadpool series and I like how
1433
01:08:14.539 --> 01:08:20.340
parts of Deadpool are kind of just going crazy and
1434
01:08:20.659 --> 01:08:22.140
robbing banks and stuff.
1435
01:08:22.220 --> 01:08:23.770
It's just really fun.
1436
01:08:24.449 --> 01:08:27.630
I liked the aspect. I was expecting more with the Punisher.
1437
01:08:27.649 --> 01:08:28.649
I thought he was going to.
1438
01:08:28.529 --> 01:08:28.930
Be more comic.
1439
01:08:28.949 --> 01:08:29.250
Yeah.
1440
01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:33.659
Yeah um this one definitely has a lot more um
1441
01:08:34.100 --> 01:08:35.979
good i mean it would make sense it's.
1442
01:08:36.239 --> 01:08:38.000
Oh yeah it's true it's his own.
1443
01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:44.100

1445
01:08:49.949 --> 01:08:51.710
been killing it on the uh.
1446
01:08:52.390 --> 01:08:55.170
Cover art love his signature dude every one of the
1447
01:08:55.189 --> 01:08:57.859

1448
01:08:58.659 --> 01:08:59.539
Yeah.
1449
01:08:59.699 --> 01:09:04.479
I started reading the Transformers at the first trade. Daniel
1450
01:09:04.500 --> 01:09:06.699
Warren Johnson. Did he write that story and draw it?
1451
01:09:07.479 --> 01:09:07.699
Yeah.
1452
01:09:08.020 --> 01:09:10.640
He... that dude's incredible all.
1453
01:09:10.539 --> 01:09:14.399
The time uh writes and draws his stories.
1454
01:09:14.340 --> 01:09:17.800
Yeah yeah incredible i i think it's underrated honestly i
1455
01:09:17.979 --> 01:09:20.229
i know it's it was popular and like i don't
1456
01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:23.050
know how well the the story's going now because i
1457
01:09:23.069 --> 01:09:25.890
know it's not him doing it but i thought what
1458
01:09:26.050 --> 01:09:28.430
what he did with the story was really awesome and
1459
01:09:28.750 --> 01:09:30.529
