09:31.578 --> 09:33.440 [SPEAKER_02]: What's going to happen to our children? 09:33.861 --> 09:35.323 [SPEAKER_02]: It's up to us now, the people. 09:35.343 --> 09:37.006 [SPEAKER_02]: No one else is going to take a stand. 09:37.486 --> 09:39.048 [SPEAKER_02]: We have to be the ones to stop it. 09:39.129 --> 09:40.430 [SPEAKER_02]: We have to join the fight. 09:40.911 --> 09:41.252 [SPEAKER_02]: Wow. 09:41.953 --> 09:42.654 [SPEAKER_02]: Pretty based. 09:43.174 --> 09:47.841 [SPEAKER_02]: This is, this is, this is just your everyday people standing up. 09:47.821 --> 09:49.163 [SPEAKER_02]: to fascism. 09:50.004 --> 09:55.109 [SPEAKER_01]: This is, uh, genuine text conversations between me and my friends every day now. 09:58.213 --> 09:59.414 [SPEAKER_02]: And he says you're right. 09:59.695 --> 10:00.215 [SPEAKER_02]: I love you. 10:00.676 --> 10:00.976 [SPEAKER_02]: Ready? 10:01.256 --> 10:02.077 [SPEAKER_02]: And she says ready. 10:02.638 --> 10:04.440 [SPEAKER_02]: And she clocks her shotgun. 10:05.001 --> 10:06.122 [SPEAKER_02]: It says Hail Hydra. 10:06.863 --> 10:08.905 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what a turn. 10:08.925 --> 10:14.031 [SPEAKER_01]: I was so close to following them to the gates of hell. 10:14.703 --> 10:15.544 [SPEAKER_02]: What a turn. 10:15.624 --> 10:19.329 [SPEAKER_02]: But you know, it, okay, can I give a little spoiler for the issue? 10:19.389 --> 10:20.731 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 10:20.751 --> 10:21.031 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 10:21.071 --> 10:24.736 [SPEAKER_02]: So it turns out Modi is like kind of mind controlling these people. 10:25.357 --> 10:35.089 [SPEAKER_02]: But before you learn that, it is interesting to think about like, well, is Hydra just like, can they be their own? 10:35.149 --> 10:41.237 [SPEAKER_02]: Does everyone who is a part of Hydra think Hydra is evil and wants to like kill everything? 10:41.257 --> 10:43.680 [SPEAKER_02]: Or, you know, 10:43.660 --> 11:05.179 [SPEAKER_02]: could they just be like they just think it's like a better system they think America's corrupt so maybe there are people like this that are like this is you know we got to join the fight I thought it was interesting I think Hydra is I mean obviously it spins out of Nazi Germany with like the red skull 11:05.159 --> 11:11.749 [SPEAKER_01]: in the comics it's like a analogy just for like authoritarianism in general. 11:11.909 --> 11:25.969 [SPEAKER_01]: I think whatever it's like the forces of of the heroes in America versus Hydra it's like well they want to take your rights and they want to tell you what to do and it's all in the interest of safety but really what does safety mean if you're not free. 11:25.949 --> 11:37.470 [SPEAKER_01]: And so I think the people in this environment, in this world that we've set up here where like America is pretty much fallen and everything's on fire and people are scared. 11:38.652 --> 11:46.607 [SPEAKER_01]: I could see ordinary people being like, dude, I just want to join this team that says they're going to put everything back to being safe. 11:47.093 --> 11:57.004 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's I could see that being an effective appeal to people who don't have super powers and are like watching shit outside their house blow up. 11:57.865 --> 12:13.101 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's you can maybe even draw the parallel between like a politician 8 to 12 years ago saying how we're going to make everything like good how it used to be and and you know get rid of all these 12:13.081 --> 12:18.088 [SPEAKER_02]: all these, all these people coming into our neighborhoods, right? 12:18.108 --> 12:18.409 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 12:18.529 --> 12:29.685 [SPEAKER_01]: I wish there was like a succinct term for a type of like political rhetoric that it peels to a mythical past that never actually existed that we need to get back to. 12:30.646 --> 12:34.732 [SPEAKER_01]: We should create some kind of word that describes that so we know to look out for it. 12:35.373 --> 12:35.874 [SPEAKER_01]: What is it? 12:37.496 --> 12:37.997 [SPEAKER_01]: Fascism. 12:38.517 --> 12:39.038 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh. 12:40.165 --> 12:43.288 [SPEAKER_01]: I think the Woke Burger, how'd you like your burger? 12:46.251 --> 12:51.677 [SPEAKER_02]: Is fascism, does it always have to do with like going back from a mythical time from before? 12:51.957 --> 12:57.082 [SPEAKER_01]: Like it, yeah, it's always comes from like things were better. 12:57.863 --> 13:07.393 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, remember back before X group came in and we were the end group and we controlled everything and everything was right and

perfect. 13:07.953 --> 13:09.615 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's let's get back to that. 13:10.270 --> 13:17.597 [SPEAKER_01]: So we need to get to the you know addition by subtraction we're going to remove the desirable elements of our society. 13:18.083 --> 13:29.834 [SPEAKER_01]: and sometimes it's like, you know, culturally, sometimes it's like, you know, values or whatever, like, oh, we're gonna go back to traditional family values, none of this like gay shit or whatever. 13:30.474 --> 13:34.237 [SPEAKER_01]: It can be used many different ways, but you know it, we see it. 13:34.458 --> 13:34.738 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 13:35.378 --> 13:35.859 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 13:36.259 --> 13:39.302 [SPEAKER_02]: So now we're on page two of the first issue. 13:40.103 --> 13:46.048 [SPEAKER_02]: And we turn the page and it's not just that family that is doing this. 13:46.028 --> 13:57.507 [SPEAKER_02]: We seek a caravan of hydra tanks and flags and cars, and Modi says, general, when I first asked you what you wanted, you said an army big enough to make the government afraid. 13:57.547 --> 14:00.052 [SPEAKER_02]: Now you have your army, you have your fear. 14:00.773 --> 14:06.923 [SPEAKER_02]: And we cut back to one day ago, and Thore is speaking with Modi. 14:06.903 --> 14:13.510 [SPEAKER_02]: Because if we remember, we just found out that Mody is Thor's son, we thought he was Loki for a while. 14:14.110 --> 14:23.420 [SPEAKER_02]: And he says, Mody, how did you, and Mody says, you deserted me in the world, in the world tree, like an animal buried in the ground, something to be hidden and forgotten. 14:23.560 --> 14:31.087 [SPEAKER_02]: And he tells Thor that time moves differently and what was maybe only a couple months to Thor was a thousand years to Mody. 14:31.828 --> 14:36.673 [SPEAKER_02]: And he could see the past and the future, you know, the world trees 14:36.653 --> 14:38.676 [SPEAKER_02]: and he says, I saw what happened, Father. 14:38.796 --> 14:40.738 [SPEAKER_02]: I saw them destroy as guard. 14:40.778 --> 14:45.645 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and then he starts talking about the ruin on his ring finger. 14:45.705 --> 14:50.852 [SPEAKER_02]: And does this ruin like give him powers? 14:51.533 --> 14:58.141 [SPEAKER_02]: He says, he wears this ring and he says, the ruin or thala from my home land inheritance heritage. 14:58.181 --> 14:59.343 [SPEAKER_02]: They were robbed of me. 14:59.924 --> 15:01.826 [SPEAKER_02]: So he wants a new empire. 15:01.846 --> 15:04.770 [SPEAKER_02]: That's why he wants to destroy America. 15:04.750 --> 15:12.003 [SPEAKER_02]: And then he says the reverse meaning of Othala is lack of order, prejudice, clanishness, fear. 15:12.584 --> 15:15.409 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just exploiting the nature of their true heart. 15:16.311 --> 15:20.398 [SPEAKER_01]: So what is this sound like that we were just talking about fascism? 15:20.999 --> 15:22.161 [SPEAKER_01]: Asgard was great. 15:22.582 --> 15:23.624 [SPEAKER_01]: Asgard's gone now. 15:23.704 --> 15:25.126 [SPEAKER_01]: We need to make a new asgard. 15:25.146 --> 15:26.569 [SPEAKER_01]: We need to make a better asgard. 15:26.609 --> 15:27.651 [SPEAKER_01]: And asgard's so good. 15:27.671 --> 15:29.374 [SPEAKER_01]: They forget about the old asgard. 15:30.704 --> 15:31.526 [SPEAKER_02]: He did say that. 15:32.047 --> 15:34.173 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and Thor is very entitled. 15:34.855 --> 15:38.323 [SPEAKER_02]: He's very entitled for spending his entire life in a tree. 15:38.384 --> 15:40.950 [SPEAKER_02]: He feels owed a lot. 15:41.470 --> 15:43.873 [SPEAKER_02]: The student has never had to work a day in his life. 15:43.933 --> 15:45.055 [SPEAKER_02]: He hasn't. 15:45.595 --> 15:54.967 [SPEAKER_02]: And he also, he's taking a very child like stance on this because he would be dead if Thor didn't put him into that tree, you know, it doesn't hit himself. 15:55.047 --> 15:57.010 [SPEAKER_01]: He saw them destroy Asgard. 15:57.050 --> 15:59.894 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like he doesn't realize that. 15:59.954 --> 16:07.123 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not putting the pieces together that he was not put in that tree as a punishment, but like as an act of love. 16:07.103 --> 16:28.065 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and Thor says end this game my son ended before I end it for you and he says you There cannot be judgment from one as low as you a father who abandoned his son and Thor tells him I only did it to save you and that doesn't that doesn't moody doesn't care about that 16:28.045 --> 16:29.927 [SPEAKER_02]: He says, I am what you have made me. 16:29.947 --> 16:31.629 [SPEAKER_02]: I am the last day as guardian. 16:31.689 --> 16:32.670 [SPEAKER_02]: You're only God. 16:32.710 --> 16:35.012 [SPEAKER_02]: And you are a disappointment father. 16:35.052 --> 16:36.654 [SPEAKER_02]: Now bow and obey. 16:36.694 --> 16:42.280 [SPEAKER_02]: And we see Thor try to fight through whatever mode he's doing. 16:42.780 --> 16:45.002 [SPEAKER_02]: But then he says, yes, my son, I obey. 16:45.022 --> 16:49.127 [SPEAKER_02]: So I was thinking maybe it was it had to do with this room. 16:49.607 --> 16:50.908 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't know. 16:51.069 --> 16:54.492 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe Loki's just Matt Loki. 16:54.961 --> 16:59.969 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and we've seen this run before in the last issue, Thor landed on something. 17:00.009 --> 17:01.732 [SPEAKER_01]: It was like, huh, that's interesting. 17:01.792 --> 17:05.337 [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't, it was like burned on top of a trailer truck. 17:05.558 --> 17:05.718 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 17:06.419 --> 17:15.433 [SPEAKER_01]: So it definitely is the implication that at least some of the hydra people, this army that's like marching, Modi's probably influenced them as well. 17:15.413 --> 17:15.794 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 17:16.495 --> 17:19.199 [SPEAKER_02]: And so now we're we're a day later. 17:19.259 --> 17:23.106 [SPEAKER_02]: And Modi is walking with some general with Thor behind him. 17:23.887 --> 17:30.599 [SPEAKER_02]: And the general

says over a thousand people have joined us since we started marching regular people from surrounding areas. 17:31.079 --> 17:35.667 [SPEAKER_02]: This wouldn't have anything to do with your secret treasure from Project Pegasus, what it. 17:35.647 --> 17:40.614 [SPEAKER_02]: And Modi tells him that no, they're just attracted to their strength and their cause. 17:41.255 --> 17:42.456 [SPEAKER_01]: You know what this reminds me of? 17:43.117 --> 17:43.378 [SPEAKER_01]: What? 17:44.078 --> 17:45.560 [SPEAKER_01]: The scene in Hot Rod. 17:46.081 --> 17:47.583 [SPEAKER_01]: Where it's the morning of the job. 17:48.144 --> 17:50.968 [SPEAKER_01]: And they just, they're like walking and it's like inspirational. 17:51.008 --> 17:52.210 [SPEAKER_01]: And there's some song playing. 17:52.330 --> 17:56.355 [SPEAKER_01]: And then all of a sudden the whole town is walking behind them and singing along. 17:56.375 --> 17:58.318 [SPEAKER_01]: Dude, that's like one of my favorite scenes. 17:58.839 --> 18:01.222 [SPEAKER_02]: I love gay assy rubs. 18:01.242 --> 18:02.143 [UNKNOWN]: Yeah. 18:02.123 --> 18:06.369 [SPEAKER_01]: It just takes one guy throw in something through a window and it turns into like a riot. 18:08.152 --> 18:25.778 [SPEAKER_02]: So Modi tells him that they're gonna need these numbers to defeat shield and the general says don't worry Well as soon as we get to Casper, which I guess is a nearby city, he says will be unstoppable and Modi says don't be fool a shield is already here and just then we cut to one of the shield agents. 18:25.798 --> 18:27.040 [SPEAKER_02]: Is that Cassie Lang? 18:27.761 --> 18:30.645 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and she says now 18:30.878 --> 18:39.128 [SPEAKER_02]: And we see Cassie, along with a squadron of giant women, get huge and destroy a pretty significant part of this army. 18:39.168 --> 18:42.873 [SPEAKER_02]: There's like tanks and jeeps and shit flying all over them. 18:42.893 --> 18:46.117 [SPEAKER_02]: There's like 70 tanks and jeeps that had destroyed. 18:46.177 --> 18:47.418 [SPEAKER_02]: How big was this army? 18:47.458 --> 18:55.208 [SPEAKER_02]: And Hawkeye, the impossible, what can't ever think of these Mrs. Fantastik? 18:55.748 --> 18:56.429 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 18:56.810 --> 18:57.831 [SPEAKER_02]: The invisible woman. 18:57.946 --> 19:02.575 [SPEAKER_02]: looks Spider-Man's there and so it's just a drew and they're all fighting and they're charging. 19:03.136 --> 19:03.357 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 19:04.579 --> 19:13.076 [SPEAKER_02]: And Sue says these hydroforces are largely an experience but they outnumber us 10 to 1 don't let your billion dollar training make you overconfident. 19:13.096 --> 19:16.663 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that's someone I'll saying it but they're saying it to all those people. 19:16.643 --> 19:17.846 [SPEAKER_02]: It's like in the earpiece. 19:18.388 --> 19:32.425 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so while the ground team is fighting cap Tony and is that Monica Chang is that yes, and she's the new black widow

correct there on the hell carrier and they're trying to like set up 19:32.405 --> 19:35.290 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, set up an attack and kind of figure out what's going on. 19:35.330 --> 19:54.582 [SPEAKER_02]: And Tony says there's some sort of signal going through the air that he's never seen it before, but it's on the same frequency as brain waves and he hypothesizes that maybe this is what's making people all of a sudden, you know, have such a strong commitment to hydra. 19:54.933 --> 20:01.625 [SPEAKER_02]: And Monica, just like the general Monica says, if they make it into the city, then there, there army is going to become too big. 20:01.905 --> 20:03.428 [SPEAKER_02]: We're not going to be able to fight them. 20:04.149 --> 20:07.355 [SPEAKER_02]: And cap says, then we're just going to have to fight like hell to stop them. 20:07.936 --> 20:16.992 [SPEAKER_01]: It's so funny to me that if you just take the the population of Casper Wyoming, that's like enough people to scare the government. 20:17.052 --> 20:19.236 [SPEAKER_01]: That's that's kind of hilarious. 20:19.435 --> 20:30.426 [SPEAKER_02]: I guess I was all I was thinking about it and I'm like, why wouldn't matter if they get to like one city, but you're right, if you can mind control like everybody in the city, then I'll be pretty big army. 20:30.446 --> 20:33.816 [SPEAKER_01]: The Casper Wyoming is not a big city. 20:34.049 --> 20:44.243 [SPEAKER_02]: And so Kat Monica and Tony, they're the last line of defense and Modi launches the war machine platoon against our heroes that are on the battle ground. 20:45.144 --> 20:46.967 [SPEAKER_02]: And things are not looking good. 20:47.527 --> 20:52.975 [SPEAKER_02]: We can say they're they're all kind of hiding in suit storm force field. 20:53.455 --> 20:56.800 [SPEAKER_02]: Are these our soldiers that are that are dead on the ground? 20:57.117 --> 21:00.041 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah, looks like some shield people are getting blown down. 21:00.642 --> 21:03.245 [SPEAKER_02]: And Cap says, we're getting gutted out there, send me in. 21:03.305 --> 21:08.312 [SPEAKER_02]: And Monica says, negative, you're still the president and your security is my top priority. 21:08.953 --> 21:12.377 [SPEAKER_02]: And then she tells Tony to stand by because she needs him to read the energy signature. 21:12.437 --> 21:15.602 [SPEAKER_02]: So these guys on the battlefield, they're not getting very much support. 21:16.723 --> 21:24.053 [SPEAKER_02]: And Hock, I says, I'm going to kick Tony Stark's ass for inventing these rusty and then Falcon points up and says, look, 21:24.033 --> 21:33.639 [SPEAKER_02]: and we see Captain America, the star-spangled man with a plan riding some hover bike in with an American flag behind them. 21:34.862 --> 21:37.369 [SPEAKER_01]: It's so funny that he's holding the flag. 21:37.389 --> 21:40.337 [SPEAKER_02]: It's so goofy looking. 21:40.317 --> 21:58.157 [SPEAKER_02]: And the face they cut to of him is like also goofy looking, then they show everyone like looking up in the air and they're like, oh, you know, it's supposed to be one of those moments where, you know, cap rides in and it's like a heroic moment and I feel like it could be done better. 21:58.137 --> 22:02.564 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is like a parody of itself. 22:02.824 --> 22:03.265 [SPEAKER_01]: It does. 22:03.285 --> 22:04.026 [SPEAKER_01]: It does. 22:04.467 --> 22:09.534 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's too bad I have to think that they knew how goofy this looked when they made it. 22:09.554 --> 22:13.180 [SPEAKER_01]: I think they were just kind of fun But they couldn't make it cool. 22:13.541 --> 22:26.220 [SPEAKER_01]: This is like this is like the same level of goofiness as he Takes the oath of office and then runs over to a fighter jet catches a baseball and says I'm off to say today 22:26.200 --> 22:43.500 [SPEAKER_02]: and the Hawkeye looks of it says you gotsy star spangled son of a gun and he says all right troops you just had an honest to god inspirational moment with a living legend don't ruin it let's fight they're glazing him so hard now 22:43.480 --> 22:59.897 [SPEAKER_02]: And unfortunately, almost immediately Modi also sees this happen and he tells his war machine people to fight and now that I'm reading the text, I think he sends Thor to hit him with some lightning too because we see a crack-a-thume. 23:00.558 --> 23:05.983 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he points and he says the President fire and then Cap gets blasted out of the air. 23:06.043 --> 23:09.707 [SPEAKER_01]: Dude, he was not writing on that thing for very long at all. 23:11.172 --> 23:12.635 [SPEAKER_02]: So now the president's down. 23:12.675 --> 23:14.438 [SPEAKER_02]: So he's now their top priority. 23:14.718 --> 23:16.000 [SPEAKER_02]: They're they're like Ironman. 23:16.020 --> 23:20.388 [SPEAKER_02]: You got to go get him now Hawkeye moving for for to, you know, help get him out. 23:20.969 --> 23:22.792 [SPEAKER_01]: I wonder who his vice president is. 23:23.513 --> 23:24.295 [SPEAKER_01]: Has he picked one? 23:25.056 --> 23:28.422 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean he had to like when he takes the oath of office. 23:28.402 --> 23:33.950 [SPEAKER_01]: Surely there was someone that was like being sworn in as the vice president too, right? 23:35.412 --> 23:36.414 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it'd be Tony. 23:37.255 --> 23:40.820 [SPEAKER_01]: No, we know it's not Carol because she's his secretary of staff. 23:40.860 --> 23:41.141 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 23:42.342 --> 23:43.604 [SPEAKER_02]: So Tony flies down. 23:43.664 --> 23:45.887 [SPEAKER_02]: They're all looking for Cap now. 23:46.809 --> 23:51.135 [SPEAKER_02]: And he says Anthony send out the 23:51.115 --> 24:01.574 [SPEAKER_02]: And then he's surrounded by all of his war machine bots and he says I'll take care of the tin men and does a big explosion and fries them all that's peak iron man. 24:01.594 --> 24:06.863 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's funny that he created the war machines. 24:06.843

--> 24:16.831 [SPEAKER_01]: But those are like what he sells to the government and he's he makes sure that his Iron Man suit is still overpowered enough to take all of them out if he needs to Or for something like this. 24:17.493 --> 24:21.865 [SPEAKER_01]: He saved all the good stuff for himself, and that's kind of funny 24:21.845 --> 24:23.006 [SPEAKER_02]: So cap is down. 24:23.547 --> 24:27.552 [SPEAKER_02]: He's surrounded by hydro soldiers and Thor and and Modi. 24:27.592 --> 24:31.717 [SPEAKER_02]: And Modi says the president and I have some acquaintance to take care of. 24:31.837 --> 24:36.282 [SPEAKER_02]: Don't we uncle Stephen and cap looks up and says Thor, what are you? 24:36.883 --> 24:44.452 [SPEAKER_02]: And Modi tells him that he wants to initiate the terms or he would initiate the terms of his surrender, but instead he has a better plan. 24:44.552 --> 24:48.477 [SPEAKER_02]: He's going to drag Captain 24:48.457 --> 25:05.149 [SPEAKER_02]: across America tied to the hood of a truck and cap looks up and sees the mind gem in moody staff and he says that gem I've seen it before project Pegasus and I think this is moody's first mistake. 25:05.129 --> 25:20.502 [SPEAKER_02]: because he does a little villain monologue here, and he's like indeed the mind gem, and he talks all about the mind gem, and he says, you mortals can never figure out it's power, but it called to me from millennia inside the world tree. 25:20.642 --> 25:21.544 [SPEAKER_02]: It belongs to me. 25:21.705 --> 25:22.767 [SPEAKER_02]: It's my birth right. 25:22.947 --> 25:25.112 [SPEAKER_02]: It comes from Asgard. 25:25.092 --> 25:41.582 [SPEAKER_02]: So as we're doing, as I'm doing another read of this comic right now, I'm thinking that the reason the mind gem called to him is because he already had some like powers to do some mind control stuff. 25:41.562 --> 25:46.050 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was like he was like capable of using it somehow. 25:46.471 --> 26:00.297 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah on account of like being probably that time and that ruin or thala was probably I don't know maybe I'm still stuck on that Okay, now we get a fun little story from history that I enjoyed 26:00.277 --> 26:04.242 [SPEAKER_02]: Because Modi says it comes from me, it's my birth right for it comes from Asgard. 26:04.262 --> 26:13.395 [SPEAKER_02]: And he tells this story and he says, from the days when the kingdom was young Odin, before he was the all-father, Rome the Nine Worlds looking for a challenge. 26:14.236 --> 26:18.862 [SPEAKER_02]: It was said that Hildibard was the most astute giant in Yodinheim. 26:19.423 --> 26:24.850 [SPEAKER_02]: His wisdom and skill created Gambain Teen, a sword that could not be defeated. 26:24.830 --> 26:28.577 [SPEAKER_02]: but Odin's nimble wits tricked Hilton Bird's powerful mind. 26:28.617 --> 26:34.868 [SPEAKER_02]: Odin took possession of Gambantine and used the sword's power to steal Hilton Bird's intelligence. 26:35.348 --> 26:40.898 [SPEAKER_02]: I think I figured out what this story is from the four panels that we get. 26:40.878 --> 26:42.380 [SPEAKER_02]: okay what's that? 26:42.881 --> 26:59.224 [SPEAKER_02]: Odin and this giant they must have been kind of friendly and this has Odin used his wits to trick him into getting his sword so I think Odin faked a fight or maybe he got into a fight with this big wolf 26:59.204 --> 27:02.951 [SPEAKER_02]: And he was like, oh, no, I need the sword to defeat this wolf. 27:03.452 --> 27:08.782 [SPEAKER_02]: And we can see Hildenbar looking kind of like, you know, worried in the background. 27:08.822 --> 27:12.268 [SPEAKER_02]: And then the next panel, Odin, is walking away with the sword. 27:12.308 --> 27:16.195 [SPEAKER_02]: So I think that's how he tricked him and to giving him his sword. 27:16.215 --> 27:18.840 [SPEAKER_02]: And then he just didn't give it back. 27:19.501 --> 27:23.288 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so let's, uh, let's look at this. 27:23.268 --> 27:30.922 [SPEAKER_01]: through a historical dialectic lens and let's see what Modi sees in this. 27:31.002 --> 27:45.208 [SPEAKER_01]: This is the story of his grandfather's empire being born and it was born through exploitation, right? 27:45.188 --> 27:58.287 [SPEAKER_01]: Hildard, he got the big stick and then he used it and what resulted out of that was Asgard and it was beautiful and it lasted for thousands of years and we need to bring it back up better. 27:59.028 --> 28:04.176 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's fascism, poor Hildard. 28:04.679 --> 28:25.484 [SPEAKER_02]: He was trying to help, he was just trying to help out his buddy, defeat a wolf, and next thing, you know, Odin stole his sword and killed him with it, and, and he said, and then Modi says, but the ardent intent, so he used the sword to steal Hilda Bards intelligence, but the ardent intensity of Hilda Bards mind was too overwhelming. 28:25.945 --> 28:32.172 [SPEAKER_02]: The fabric of the nine worlds collapsed on his awareness and delivered to Odin a gift, 28:32.152 --> 28:39.364 [SPEAKER_02]: Hilda Bard's intelligence is basically the mind gem, so it must have been a really smart, but not smart enough to not get tricked. 28:40.145 --> 28:41.267 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, by a big dog. 28:42.289 --> 28:48.679 [SPEAKER_01]: Just smart enough that when he dies, his brain metastasizes into a gem. 28:49.300 --> 28:51.223 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a kidney stone. 28:52.004 --> 28:52.405 [UNKNOWN]: Okay. 28:53.077 --> 29:04.457 [SPEAKER_02]: And Modi says that tremendous intellectual acuity of that old giant concentrated into one gem, with it one can persuade any individual to do almost anything at once. 29:05.359 --> 29:10.448 [SPEAKER_02]: Even now, it is persuading your noble citizenry to join our cause. 29:11.450 --> 29:14.916 [SPEAKER_02]: And it still has enough power to break my father's will. 29:14.997 --> 29:28.652 [SPEAKER_02]: and he has cap if cap understands and he says perhaps a demonstration is in order and then he uses the mind gems power

on Cassie Lang and she uses her big gun because she's a giant lady. 29:29.152 --> 29:37.562 [SPEAKER_02]: She uses her big gun and she shoots the hell of carrier that everyone is on sending it plummeting towards the earth. 29:38.082 --> 29:41.646 [SPEAKER_01]: I think she just picked up a tank and used it as a pistol. 29:42.014 --> 29:42.915 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, she did. 29:42.935 --> 29:44.837 [SPEAKER_01]: I think she did. 29:44.857 --> 29:45.578 [SPEAKER_01]: I think you're right. 29:46.158 --> 29:47.099 [SPEAKER_01]: These comics rule. 29:47.680 --> 29:48.100 [SPEAKER_01]: They do. 29:48.821 --> 29:52.244 [SPEAKER_01]: This is like the kind of shit I was on when I was eight years old with my toys. 29:54.747 --> 29:59.671 [SPEAKER_02]: And Monica Chang is panicking because now the hell of carrier is going down over Wyoming. 30:00.112 --> 30:02.254 [SPEAKER_02]: And Modi's looking up and says a work of art. 30:02.674 --> 30:09.321 [SPEAKER_02]: And Cap says, I don't know what you are, but my people will never give up against monsters like you giving up not in our nature. 30:09.301 --> 30:11.184 [SPEAKER_02]: And Modi says, oh, I forgot you were here. 30:11.204 --> 30:13.628 [SPEAKER_02]: Father, this mortal knows the pride of sin. 30:13.768 --> 30:14.910 [SPEAKER_02]: Please break him of it. 30:15.390 --> 30:25.145 [SPEAKER_02]: And Thor launches into cap, and they have a cool comic book panel of, you know, Thor slamming his hammer down on the shield and the shield rating, and all back. 30:25.846 --> 30:28.951 [SPEAKER_02]: This says, Karakadum to be continued. 30:29.011 --> 30:30.333 [SPEAKER_02]: To be concluded. 30:30.393 --> 30:32.136 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow. 30:32.777 --> 30:33.057 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 30:33.398 --> 30:33.738 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 30:33.799 --> 30:36.102 [SPEAKER_01]: So, what did you think of that one?

31:18.387 --> 31:26.338 [SPEAKER_02]: Dude, I think that's exactly what I was going to give it because I was like, I wanted to give it higher than an eight, but not quite an eighty eight and a half. 31:26.453 --> 31:29.158 [SPEAKER_02]: Right, so I'll give it an 84% also. 31:29.178 --> 31:30.079 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 31:30.560 --> 31:30.901 [SPEAKER_01]: Awesome. 31:31.622 --> 31:34.787 [SPEAKER_01]: So are we ready to move on to issue 18?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, rogue, hmm, I don't know this is weird to me. 33:36.416 --> 33:43.647 [SPEAKER_02]: You know the first part of this that I felt was weird was when Cap says you're right. 33:43.767 --> 33:44.248 [SPEAKER_02]: We did it. 33:44.328 --> 33:44.848 [SPEAKER_02]: We won. 33:45.149 --> 33:48.093 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like that's not a very Captain America thing to say. 33:48.113 --> 33:48.934 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 33:49.696 --> 33:50.577 [SPEAKER_01]: He was Obama. 33:50.617 --> 33:52.860 [SPEAKER_01]: He would say this is called action. 33:53.561 --> 33:54.823 [SPEAKER_01]: The work is it done folks? 33:55.664 --> 33:57.487 [SPEAKER_01]: It starts with me, but it ends with you. 33:57.527 --> 33:59.530 [SPEAKER_01]: Now get out there in your community. 34:00.877 --> 34:03.200 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, no, it's a good time. 34:03.260 --> 34:20.305 [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone celebrating this one dude has his face painted like an American flag, which is kind of interesting, and anyways, we see like the TV broadcasts reports telling the story and it says after achieving victory in Wyoming, America fell in love with President cap of the new ultimates. 34:20.806 --> 34:22.708 [SPEAKER_01]: Hydro was driven underground, but not defeated. 34:23.069 --> 34:27.055 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking of this as like a news reel bulletin in the foreview. 34:27.375 --> 34:28.116 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah. 34:28.096 --> 34:32.080 [SPEAKER_01]: They continue to wage war against the citizens of the United States from one coast to another. 34:32.821 --> 34:36.665 [SPEAKER_01]: Abled body Americans turned out and drove to enlist and caps new guard. 34:37.346 --> 34:40.049 [SPEAKER_01]: They made their intimidating presence known across the country. 34:40.590 --> 34:44.213 [SPEAKER_01]: And so now this is another one where it's like something's not right. 34:44.754 --> 34:49.880 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we've literally got ice agents where you like Captain America helmets and patches. 34:50.260 --> 34:56.787 [SPEAKER_01]: It says President caps administration utilized the latest technology to hunt down possible 34:56.767 --> 35:01.058 [SPEAKER_01]: drone like Hornet drones coming into people's houses and killing families. 35:01.619 --> 35:05.269 [SPEAKER_01]: President Cap's authority allowed him to pursue lengthy war against Hydra. 35:05.870 --> 35:08.637 [SPEAKER_01]: Marshall Law stretched into the third year with no end in sight. 35:09.179 --> 35:12.447 [SPEAKER_01]: His promise to achieve victory at any cost. 35:12.427 --> 35:19.903 [SPEAKER_01]: and then we see people like protesting in front of the White House and throwing rocks at you know officers with riot shields. 35:20.544 --> 35:26.076 [SPEAKER_01]: So it looks like Cap kind of descended into, you know, authoritarianism. 35:26.658 --> 35:27.399 [SPEAKER_01]: Fascism. 35:27.940 --> 35:28.562 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 35:28.582 --> 35:32.410 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, I hate to get political on this podcast, John. 35:32.930 -->

35:34.772 [SPEAKER_01]: Michael Parenti, rest in peace. 35:34.792 --> 35:37.115 [SPEAKER_01]: He actually just died a couple weeks ago. 35:37.636 --> 35:41.020 [SPEAKER_01]: He was like the greatest academic mind on the left. 35:41.901 --> 36:00.945 [SPEAKER_01]: He has argued that liberalism always leads to fascism because if you are not explicitly against capitalism and colonialism, then you will eventually be co-opted into serving it and the ultimate end for that is fascism. 36:00.925 --> 36:12.167 [SPEAKER_01]: So I do kind of like this idea that like, even Captain America, you know, coming out of something like this can kind of overreach his authority. 36:13.109 --> 36:16.714 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I wanted him to like protect the status quo. 36:17.295 --> 36:25.086 [SPEAKER_02]: I was trying to to rationalize this also in us thinking, well, Captain America has been fighting hydra for his entire life. 36:25.968 --> 36:37.584 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's not the craziest thing to think that once he got control of the army and everything, he would kind of have a one track mind. 36:37.624 --> 36:42.171 [SPEAKER_02]: He'd be like, I want to 36:42.151 --> 36:49.988 [SPEAKER_02]: And it could, you know, he might start overlooking other things just wanting to be hydra. 36:50.850 --> 36:53.656 [SPEAKER_01]: And to his credit, I mean, that is a thing. 36:53.677 --> 37:01.594 [SPEAKER_01]: The Victorian side of any revolution or conflict has to do is like have some kind of discernment for like, 37:01.574 --> 37:03.616 [SPEAKER_01]: avoiding counter revolutionaries. 37:04.137 --> 37:12.466 [SPEAKER_01]: Right, if you win and then you're just immediately comb by a like you're allowing the forces that you were just fighting against a chance to reorganize. 37:12.887 --> 37:23.599 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I think what we're seeing here is intentionally it's showing like the pendulum is so long too far in the other direction and and cap is kind of put everyone in a police state. 37:24.102 --> 37:31.229 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and we see him sitting in the White House at the Resilute Desk, and someone says, Cap, you okay? 37:32.390 --> 37:44.523 [SPEAKER_01]: And then this is strange, because we see the person talking to him as an unmasked Peter Parker, and we see quite a few other people in the room, notably the Scarlet Witch, and Henry Pim. 37:45.103 --> 37:48.547 [SPEAKER_01]: And both of them should be dead, and Cap says, no, this isn't right. 37:48.947 --> 37:52.911 [SPEAKER_01]: This isn't what we fought for, Peter. 37:52.891 --> 38:17.380 [SPEAKER_01]: And he smashes the resolute desk with his shield and like jumps back into reality and he's like what where am I and he's back at the fight with Modi and Thor Why would Modi's mind control thing make caps like hallucination devolge into authoritarianism? 38:17.360 --> 38:38.507 [SPEAKER_01]: if he wanted to keep captain america in that state why would why would we even see that page of like everything going wrong right it should end with him dancing in his living room with Peggy Carter it's yes it should um well we're about to find out because moody says 38:38.487 --> 38:49.079 [SPEAKER_01]: the mind Jim, uh, in the case of my father here, it can bend others to my will or in your case, it can make your dreams seem real unlimited power over your beloved country. 38:49.880 --> 38:51.803 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's not Captain America's dream. 38:52.443 --> 39:04.257 [SPEAKER_01]: I think, or is that, at the heart of this story, Modi fundamentally doesn't understand who the ultimate is or he doesn't understand who his dad is or why he put him in that tree. 39:04.838 --> 39:06.520 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he, you know, 39:06.500 --> 39:11.577 [SPEAKER_01]: misunderstands Captain America, I think he maybe did expect him to stay in that dream. 39:11.757 --> 39:18.720 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you thought Cap would have any qualms about it and wake himself up. 39:19.156 --> 39:25.285 [SPEAKER_01]: And I think Cap says that too, because he says, uh, you don't know me very well. 39:25.365 --> 39:25.826 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you?

has no end in sight, you just march until you die. 40:59.629 --> 41:03.915 [SPEAKER_01]: But it looks like such a cool, happy, festive parade. 41:04.496 --> 41:09.182 [SPEAKER_01]: And so I was like, I saw that scene and I was like, started playing the public, a music in my head. 41:10.024 --> 41:10.785 [SPEAKER_02]: That's interesting. 41:10.905 --> 41:12.948 [SPEAKER_02]: I wonder if that came out before this. 41:13.248 --> 41:16.052 [SPEAKER_02]: I wonder if there was any, you know, 41:16.235 --> 41:23.223 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure if it inspired this comic at all, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had seen paprika. 41:23.624 --> 41:26.948 [SPEAKER_01]: It's one of those scenes where once you see it, you never forget it. 41:27.208 --> 41:27.508 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 41:28.109 --> 41:38.141 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so Monica Chang comes over the earpiece, and she's like, hey, we're in the hell of carrier, we're going down, we're gonna die, we're kind of fucked, who can help us?

47:51.311 --> 47:52.735 [SPEAKER_02]: Here before you do the next one. 47:53.416 --> 47:56.563 [SPEAKER_02]: Look at how he's drawn in the first panel of that scene. 47:56.543 --> 47:57.745 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he looks like a demon. 47:58.065 --> 48:00.889 [SPEAKER_02]: He does, but then it's not like that with the other one. 48:01.309 --> 48:04.894 [SPEAKER_02]: So do you think that they just drew it fast because he's small? 48:04.934 --> 48:07.518 [SPEAKER_01]: Or I think it's like a perspective thing. 48:07.538 --> 48:09.100 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that's literally his face. 48:09.721 --> 48:10.001 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 48:10.241 --> 48:13.145 [SPEAKER_01]: Because it looks like his skin turned into teeth. 48:13.486 --> 48:21.817 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it looks like maybe he like reverted to a different form for a second, like how he because he's so evil or something, you know?
