Can you believe 16 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.400 that we made it past a hundred? Holy Moley, can you believe the 17 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:30.280 incredible journey that we've had so far. I know, I mean not only 18 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.959 did I not think this podcast would continue this long, but that it just 19 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.120 you know, it kind of built, expanded and gained interest from the comic 20 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:45.719 community unlike what I ever expected. So I love it. So if you 21 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.480 guys are tuning in now, go back and listen to some of our episodes. 22 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.640 If this is your first episode of X Reads, we definitely recommend you 23 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.400 go back into the archive and listen to all these amazing interviews we've had with 24 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.200 a faby NCA Chris Claremont. Of course, he was just on for our 25 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.599 hundredth episode, and it was a dream come true, honestly, because when 26 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.919 we started this podcast, we joked constantly about like, hey, you know, 27 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.560 we're gould be so cool if he came on the podcast, and then 28 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:16.960 we're like, get him on the podcast, and we're like, uh, 29 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.039 mister Claremont, we can't remember how to say words. So I literally actually 30 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.639 confession, I literally forgot how to say words. I think I spoke two 31 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.840 words total in that episode. I was just so starstruck. I know. 32 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.439 I mean, the man literally is the architect of X Men, of all 33 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.400 that we know and love about X Men, including my favorites, my ultimate 34 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.479 favorites, Katy Pride and Jubilee are created by him, plus so many others. 35 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.960 So and all of Wolverine's attributes that we know and love are because of 36 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.080 him. So it's like, it was amazing. It was. It's so 37 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.639 cool to have him on, so amazing to get the insights directly from the 38 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:05.240 cre A tour himself himself. No, that was that was amazing. So 39 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.680 yeah, if you guys, if you didn't listen to that episode, please 40 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:13.439 just dial back one episode at least for our sake to listen to his episode. 41 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.719 Now, normally we cover a single issue per episode, cover to cover, 42 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.719 including the ads, but with him, we're like, we can't just 43 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.240 do one issue, Like that's a waste of everybody's tie. We want to 44 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.280 know so much more out of him, So we decided to do a whole 45 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.639 character evolution with Kitty Pride from her creation all the way through becoming Shadow Cat 46 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.680 through the Wolverine and Katy Pride mini series. So yeah, go back one 47 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.960 listen. So what are we doing today Chandler, Well, we're going to 48 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.400 be doing a really classic issue.

I am so excited because we are going to be 94 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.800 doing X Men number eleven, which was published in August of nineteen ninety two. 95 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:13.600 The cover on this sent me into nostalgia overload, no joke, because 96 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.839 it is one of the most iconic covers for X Men ever. Yes, 97 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.439 absolutely, we will get deep into this cover so you all know what we're 98 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.720 talking about. But before we do, we must set the era. It 99 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.680 is the nineties, specifically August of nineteen ninety two, and the top film 100 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:38.279 is Unforgiven, which went on to win Best Picture at the Oscars. Blah 101 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:43.199 blah blah buth. What's more exciting is that also in August of nineteen ninety 102 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.319 two is Death Becomes Her came out and I would much rather talk about Death 103 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.199 Becomes Her then. Oh yeah, I forgive you. Every time I see 104 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:57.680 anybody do this costume as a Halloween or cosplay, I just giggle because I 105 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:03.000 love it so much. You know what it's time for It's time for a 106 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.120 reboot. Yeah, really, come back, We'll think about it. Come 107 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.120 on. They were still alive at the end. I mean they were in 108 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.720 pieces, but I think you know, you could glue back together. And 109 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.000 with modern technology nowadays, they're plastic surgery probably looks like you know, paper, 110 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:24.120 smooth and just you know, very nice looking. They could be put 111 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.879 back together very well with some nice glue. I have a challenge for you. 112 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.920 So now we're talking about, of course, the original cast being stitched 113 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.080 together at Meryl Streep and Goldie Hunt. But now tell me who would you 114 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.279 recast in the role if they redid this movie? Oh? How dare you? 115 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.720 I've never thought about this question before. It's all right, you could 116 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:50.120 just how dare you? Dropped that amazing question on me? How can I 117 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.000 You're rude? Why don't you answer first? I can't, I honestly can't. 118 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.039 I don't even know. Like, Okay, So if I'm going to 119 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.240 choose two women off the top of my head that are fabulous that I think 120 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:11.120 can pull off these roles, I'm gonna say Charlie's Throne would be incredible, 121 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.200 and I am going to just for the sake of comedy, I think I'm 122 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:22.159 going to throw in like Maya Rudolph really yeah, because I just think she 123 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:28.120 would be such a foil to Charlie's Throne. For people who have not seen 124 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.600 this movie, these two women are after the same guy and they kind of 125 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.200 fight together, they end up dying together, and then they joined forces to 126 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.480 take down the guy because he was two timing them, and I just think, 127 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.919 like the idea of the opposites of Charlie's throne in my rutop those are 128 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.759 just two that popped into my head. Are they the perfect test casting choice? 129 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.960 I don't think so, but that's just who jumped into my head. 130 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:54.279 I'm gonna fifth all right this question. Stay tuned for episode one oh two, 131 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.759 where we will revisit this question with research and study, and we will 132 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.960 terman who are the ideal recast mates of death becomes Her. I'm gonna go 133 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.320 all extra for this Channeler. You think you just made a joke, but 134 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.559 it's no joke. I will follow through with this. I'm going to bring 135 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.279 in award winning casting directors in the entertainment industry to Wagan. I'm going to 136 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.000 bring in magazine editors. Great, oh gosh, this is going to be 137 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.000 a huge debate. Okay, So yeah, listeners, you have a lot 138 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.799 to look forward to and one or two. So in the meantime, we 139 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.799 are here to talk about August of nineteen ninety two, the top song End 140 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.240 of the Road by Boys two Men. How does this one go? I 141 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.799 don't remember, Okay, so I'll start it and let me know if it 142 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.840 jumps into your memory. Here we go. Okay, yeah, don't let 143 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:56.519 me go to the end of the road, because I can't let go. 144 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:07.200 It's so natch. You belong to me, I belong to you. Oh 145 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.960 oh yes, and the road Oh yeah. Boys to men yes, wait 146 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.879 a minute, wait a minute, are like they boys? Are they ment 147 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.399 to grandpas? Now? Like probably are there already grandfathers? Yes, they 148 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.840 are granddaddy daddies all right. Next in our list of nostalgia of August of 149 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.639 nineteen ninety two, a little tidbit that I picked up was that Paramount Studios 150 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.759 opened up their New York Street on the back lot. And you and I 151 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.279 have been on the back lot of yeah, and there's been all sorts of 152 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.399 events back there, and it's just a really cool place. So I just 153 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.200 thought that was a really cool little tidbit of our history to know that that 154 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.559 opened up in ninety two. Oh, I love it. But the parties 155 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.919 there are glamorous. Yeah, it was like some sort of pride event. 156 00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:00.120 If I recall that we went there last time. M yeah. Well so. 157 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.000 Also in August of nineteen ninety two, San Diego Comic Con moves into 158 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.679 the Double Tree Hotel humble beginnings. Yes, we think of San Diego Comic 159 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.320 Con as of course the massive beast it is, but humble beginnings, you 160 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.600 know, in hotel lobbies, and as we are putting together this uncanny experience, 161 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.120 I will say there's times where I feel like we need to be Comic 162 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.559 Coon right up the gate, But I think it's great to have a start 163 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.639 and grow from there. Yeah. Indeed, something I love about the Double 164 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:39.440 Tree fact is when we're on the shuttle bus, somebody always mentions the fact 165 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.159 that Comic Con used to be there as we drive by. It's like, 166 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.600 you know, if we were to do a drinking game with shots, like 167 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:52.000 we could get drunk on people saying that, Yeah, no kidding, no 168 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.399 kidding. Well, let's get into this. We are doing X Men number 169 00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:00.360 eleven, published August of nineteen ninety two. It's written by Jim Lee Scott 170 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.759 Lobdell, The art is by Jim Lee, and it is titled The X 171 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:09.720 Men Versus The X Men exclamation Point. Yes. Plus, there's also a 172 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.960 bonus story on Maverick in the back that's written by Scott Lobdell and art by 173 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.279 Mark Textera titled over Again, We're Not Going to really go through that issue. 174 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.919 We'll touch upon it at the end, but touch upon it now, 175 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.080 let's just like get it out of the way. So like there's weird stuff 176 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:33.559 happening between Maverick and also what was his dame Warhawk It exists in the back 177 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.799 of the issue. Maverick at the time was a really underdeveloped character that they 178 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.279 introduced like through the trading cards and toys and everyone's like, Oh, what's 179 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.559 this character and they're like, oh crap, we better write stories about this 180 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.679 guy. M and this is what we got. That's what we got. 181 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.120 But that's okay because we have something way more exciting to talk about, and 182 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:58.000 that is a Moojo, one of my favorite characters and storylines. Yes, 183 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:05.480 a reality show like on Steroid, you guys, totally So on the cover 184 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.000 we mentioned iconic cover. This is the cover that, by the way, 185 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.159 is on all the T shirts from Target. So when you see that white 186 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.519 T shirt at Target with the X Men cover, it is this one X 187 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.120 Men number eleven. I have it. I have it. So many people 188 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.320 have this shirt. So I was like, when we're like, what do 189 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.879 I S were we're going to do after Claremont, Like what is the follow 190 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.720 up. We're like, well, let's go with this one because it's weird, 191 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.240 wacky, it's got an iconic cover, and it's Jim Lee art, 192 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.960 and so there's a lot to gush on. But on the cover we have 193 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.279 Wolverine in the forefront holding his claws up and looking through one of the claws, 194 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.639 and a whole team of characters behind him. Who do you see, 195 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:50.240 Chris, I see siloc and Gambit in Rogue, and Cyclops and Beast who's 196 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.440 actually kind of hanging upside down, which is kind of funny, and you 197 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:58.360 believe holding her head with her hand kind of smug. Yes, and she's 198 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.879 wearing her glasses green, by the way, not pink. I was like, 199 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.480 this is a bold choice. Jim Lee or colorist or whoever did this 200 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:13.360 making her glasses green instead of pink. Explain yourself. It's like if Cyclops 201 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.759 Advisor was suddenly blue instead of red. You're just like, excuse me. 202 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.799 You know why I know this is one of the most successful iconic covers of 203 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.759 all time is that Target keeps this shirt in stock. Like usually if it 204 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.559 doesn't sell well, they will cycle it out and bring new stuff in. 205 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.159 But the ones that stay forever I'm talking about like the band of T shirts 206 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.159 like Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd. Will you know what this cover of the 207 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:45.840 X Men has elevated two icon status to the point where Target will always have 208 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:50.360 it available. I love it amazing. So on the inside cover we have 209 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:58.840 our very first Oh it's for Universal Soldier. It's a gen Claude van Damn 210 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.679 movie. Oh. Yes, that probably was action packed, is my assumption. 211 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:08.360 Yeah. It looks like they're wearing like VR glasses and pop Singer headsets 212 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:15.000 and they're holding guns. It says almost humid, almost perfect, almost under 213 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:21.039 control. Universal Soldier the Future has a bad attitude. Now I have to 214 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.519 invest. I've not seen this movie. I have it either, but I'm 215 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.480 kind of curious. Oh you know, it's by Roland Emerick, who directed 216 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.720 Independence Day in a bunch of action films, So I'm gonna say that it 217 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.919 might actually be good. I'm all about it. I need something to watch 218 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.679 and have on in the background while I do things. This seems like the 219 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.399 movie for that. Well, and because I'm always curious, you know, 220 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:51.080 there's always got to be at least a female lead or whatever side character. 221 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.399 And the actress I don't know her, Ali walk Walker. I don't know 222 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:59.200 her. Yeah, okay, so she was in the daytime soap opera Santa 223 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:06.160 Barbara. Oh and before landing roles on the short lived dramas True Blue and 224 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:11.599 moved over Miami. Well, well, well, good for you. She 225 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:18.160 was also in Kazam Shack amazing. I love it. Yeah, I was 226 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.079 like, that's the best part. That was the best part of me looking 227 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:27.279 that up. I needed to be reminded of Shack. And that's yes. 228 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.480 I can't wait. I can't wait un till there's an AD alert of Kazam 229 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:40.079 movie because I need to relive it. It'll happen, all right, let's 230 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.119 get into this issue. Oh my gosh. So we start off and we 231 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.680 see Dazzler seated looking very defeated. Her eyes are closed, head in her 232 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.200 hands. She is not happy, No, she is not. But I'm 233 00:17:53.240 --> 00:18:00.240 happy because why we have a very interesting character that I completely forgot it out 234 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.839 into this very moment, and that is Mojo too the sequel. Yes, 235 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.319 he is standing over her, just menacingly, and we don't I don't know 236 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.559 if he's a good guy or a bad guy yet, so in my head, 237 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.720 I'm thinking, oh, she's in trouble. But look at this outfit. 238 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:23.759 Can you please describe this sexy monstrosity? Oh sure, so I'm he 239 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:32.960 is bare chested with metallic leggings kind of reminiscent of Lady death Strike. And 240 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:38.680 then he has got a shoulder shrug robe that's kind of happening, that's very 241 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:44.039 long and flowy, almost like mister Sinister. He's got metallic arms, like 242 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:49.279 robotic arms. His skin is yellow, he is got blue, long flowing 243 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:56.480 hair of Fu Manchou mustache, and he is fit for the gods. You 244 00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.559 know. It's one of those things where he's Mojo to the sequel Mojo, 245 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.640 of course, we know is a big, large, spineless one. As 246 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.559 they say, he is in a mechanical thing. He has no spine so 247 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.480 he can't stand up. So this is the standing version of Mojo, and 248 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:14.480 apparently he is fit af Oh yeah, and I need those like metallic pants 249 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.000 in my wardrobe, please yes. Dazzler. On the other hand, just 250 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:23.000 to comment on what she is wearing. If y'all recall the X Men arcade 251 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.559 game and her outfit that game, well that's what she's wearing right now. 252 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:33.240 The blue with the headband that's read and the star burst on her chest. 253 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:40.400 Yes, she is in her Dazzler eighties glory outfit. Yes, the outback 254 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.240 look. And you know one thing I want to say about Mojo to the 255 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.160 sequel. To me, he's very evocative of like if Mojo and mister Sinister 256 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:55.119 had like a clone baby m Yeah, you know what I mean, absolutely, 257 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:59.960 especially her attitude and everything. I wonder if he is a clone thing 258 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.960 to mister Sinister, we should revisit that. So all the Marvel artists that 259 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.480 are listening and writers, there you go. There's a little pity is that 260 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.480 it happens. Chandler, if you say, thinks that when they happen. 261 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.119 So yeah, Mojo to the sequel is going to come back due to Sinister, 262 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:21.799 and I can't wait for that moment. So yeah, we learn that 263 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:27.119 Dazzler is working with Mojo to the sequel because he is vowed to take down 264 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:33.240 Mojo himself and overcome the ratings needed to be the leader of Mojo World. 265 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.480 Because that we learned that with the ratings you have the power. So shout 266 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:44.279 out to and DECENTI for knowing all this ahead of time. First you get 267 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:48.559 the ratings, then you get the power, then you get the women. 268 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:53.759 But I was at Scarface sure, or Godfather or something, I don't know 269 00:20:53.920 --> 00:21:00.519 something. You know what, though, Like it's kind of true in today's 270 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.960 day and age, if you have a large social media following, people take 271 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.759 notice. And if you have large numbers, a lot of the times, 272 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.359 like they don't even investigate. They're all like, well, if this person 273 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:18.400 is obviously popular and reputable, therefore they have clout enough to be given a 274 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:23.880 job or given an opportunity. In the age of social media, ratings do 275 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:32.039 matter? I agree, and again props to Innocente for forecasting all of this. 276 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.160 Innocent to you, by the way, was on the podcast back and 277 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.720 I want to say episode forty three or forty four, So go back and 278 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.640 listen to her her episode where we cover long shot number three. So Dazzler 279 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.559 reluctantly agrees to help Mojo to the sequel. And then we cut to an 280 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.640 arena where we see the X Men versus the x Men again with our special 281 00:21:52.680 --> 00:22:00.799 guests the X Men, and it is quite a flash page we see. 282 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:06.400 So this is a full page of Lila, Gambit, Rogue Beast, Jubilee, 283 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:12.759 Wolverine, siloc and Cyclops and they're on like a trippy yellow brick road 284 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.799 fighting each other. Yeah, so this Mojo verse arena is modeled after The 285 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:25.960 Wizard of Oz by Frank L. Baum, like the movie starting Julie Garland 286 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.000 and all that, except it's deadly and everybody's killing each other. This particular 287 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:34.160 splash page is so very exciting because, like with Rogue, you can see 288 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:40.720 that she is bound. Her arms and wrists are encased in metal. Her 289 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.519 mouth is covered in metal, so she can't kiss in anybody. Does Jubilee 290 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.839 have wings? Over the Jubilee, Gambit, Lila, and Silac all have 291 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.119 wings like the evil winged monkeys, I think is what this is running. 292 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:57.720 So if you have wings, and that means that you are possessed by Mojo, 293 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.680 right, or just means that you're on another team. You're on another 294 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.880 team. They're all possessed by Mojo except for Beast, and Beast cannot talk. 295 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:12.279 He's stuck to sounding like a cart too, and for instance, his 296 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:18.799 his words say rousy rethid ractors instead of lousy method actors, so he cannot 297 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:23.799 speak his normal erudite language. He is stuck to this beastly cartoon language. 298 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:30.960 I actually had this comic in my original long box childhood collection. And back 299 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:36.160 in the childhood years, I used to non read the comics, meaning like, 300 00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.279 you know, who cares about the words, about the photos and the 301 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:44.400 pictures and the story of the Vocket of Art. I always thought that Lila 302 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:52.200 Cheney was like another Jubilee. Yes, like Jubilee clone. Yeah, well, 303 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.480 because she's got the short kind of hair that is very much like Jubilees. 304 00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.319 And she also wears sunglasses just like Jubilee. So yeah, she could 305 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:04.480 very well to a child, look like adult Jubilee. So speaking of Lilah, 306 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.279 she is fighting with long Shot, and long Shot for some reason, 307 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.480 also is not mind controlled. I think it's because he's of this world. 308 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.359 And actually no, it's because he wasn't brought in with the X Men because 309 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.960 he, you know, was already on Mojo World. So Dazzler himself and 310 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.920 Beast are the only ones of their right mind. And Professor Xavier, which 311 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.799 we'll get into later. So he's trying to tell Lila, like, calm 312 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.759 down, girl, we're friends, we don't need to fight. You know, 313 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.119 you're you're playing into Mojo's story. You know you can't give him what 314 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:38.319 he wants. And poor Lilah, she gets whacked, thrown right into a 315 00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:44.599 tree. Meanwhile, Siloc has Cyclops in a chokehold, but Professor Xavier chimes 316 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:49.519 in and he says, open your mind to me. And she's trying. 317 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.400 She's got a lot of beads of sweat on her forehead, but she's trying 318 00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:59.400 to let him break through. Yes, Cyclops is like trying to what Betsy 319 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:07.440 kil Before we turn the page, we have our very Next. It is 320 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:14.759 for the nineteen ninety two Marvel Universe Series three trading cards by Skybox. Yes, 321 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:17.599 I had them all, every single one of these. Oh my god, 322 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.960 they were so so beautiful. This is before Marvel Masterpiece, but it 323 00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:25.359 still was in the era of top like card collecting Jess. When you thought 324 00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:29.119 they couldn't get any bigger or better. Wake up, Marvel, Madiacs. 325 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.400 Marvel Universe Series three trading cards have already hit your friendly neighborhood store shelves. 326 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.319 Bigger, you bet. Our expanded two hundred card lineup features some really great 327 00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:45.599 new card categories and characters better with Bulldoo original graphics in five new holograms, 328 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:51.200 each in a different color for foil, this set is awesome. Wow, 329 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.000 now that you know how cool these cards are. The last thing you need 330 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.200 is for some kid from down the street to beat you to them. Be 331 00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:02.400 bigger, be better, be first. And the kids in this ad are 332 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:07.079 like a gag. They're thrilled. I want to be that middle child. 333 00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.279 Yes, they're looking at the Spider Man card all blown up as if it's 334 00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.240 projected on a wall, and they are literally in shock about how cool this 335 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.359 is. Oh yeah, I think Spider Man definitely was one of the best 336 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.119 from that set. But I can see in the backroom deal set Thanos, 337 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:29.519 Captain America and Silver Surfer, which we're all great too. Yes, now 338 00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:34.119 I don't know about these foil variants. I'm sorry, color foil and hologram 339 00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.880 versions from this set. I only know the traditional cards. So now I'm 340 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.599 going to go on a hunt. I need to find out what these cards 341 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:48.160 are. It has been decided let's do it road trip. So back with 342 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.160 the story. Cyclops is like, you're an adult, Betsy, do what 343 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.200 you think is right. I don't know where this line is coming from, 344 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.759 but Mojo is like, off author, what's going on with this dialog? 345 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:07.759 Oh wait, it's me. I'm the I'm the author, and Earth's Maarius 346 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:14.160 mutants are reciting every line as I've scripted it. Oh the pressure. What 347 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.839 to do for an encore m Perhaps you could perform a lobotomy on yourself, 348 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:26.039 sire, I'll fetch the butter knife. That's Major Domo, his like right 349 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.200 hand man, who of course hates Mojo, but he works for him. 350 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.799 Anyways, that was like my favorite line. Yes, we'll keep reading the 351 00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:38.279 Mojo lines because they're so juicy and you love him? What and deny my 352 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:47.160 captive audience a chance to provide it unsolidacitic review of work in progress? So 353 00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:53.799 Chip, what do you think? Professor Xavier cannot speak? Everyone's a critic. 354 00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:59.920 Just remember it could be worse. I could have scripted you onto the 355 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:04.039 set. Instead, you have a front row seat as your students destroy themselves 356 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:10.119 using your powers honed and through your teachings. He ha, gotta love the 357 00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:14.559 irony. Oh, and Professor is thinking to himself, mocked me while you 358 00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.240 have the opportunity, Mojo, I must work through the pain, must protect 359 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:27.960 my XPN. Mojo always is so like gregarious and Shakespeare into me. Am 360 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.319 I right? Does he emote that to you? Yeah? For sure? 361 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:40.039 Yeah, he's an actor on all levels, no matter who he is speaking 362 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.960 to. Yeah, and I gotta I gotta mention the art here where he's 363 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.960 saying, oh wait, I am the author and just his aunt's playling. 364 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:55.400 Oh, it's just so dramatic. I love it. Yes, when we 365 00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:59.880 get that Jim Lee nineties thing where half of Mojo's face is then covered by 366 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.720 Professor's other half of his face, I feel like we see that a lot 367 00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:08.799 in the nineties, So I love this moment elsewhere in Mojo Square Garden instead 368 00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:14.920 of Madison Square Garden. Ha ha ha ha. See we see dazz Oh 369 00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:19.759 wait, I got it now. No, I love it. I can't 370 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:25.000 to laugh at it. I love dad jokes. Oh that was good. 371 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:30.640 Okay, okay, I got it out. We can good. So we 372 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:37.559 see Dazzler and Mojo too, sorry Mojo too the sequel um and they the 373 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:44.720 sequel Yes, so yes, he is confessing to Dazzler that he just wants 374 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.480 to help those less fortunate, and she is like not having any of his 375 00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.000 ship. He's just like yeah right as she looks over her shoulder. I 376 00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.720 also love that she has this kind of like war paint on her face in 377 00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:59.119 this Mojo verse world when she moved, when she moved there, whatever, 378 00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.960 when she was ended up there. She adopted this kind of stripe over her 379 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.920 left eye and then kind of a mark under her right. Well, it's 380 00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.279 not consistent because she didn't have that in the opening scene. You're right, 381 00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.720 she didn't, or maybe she added it just now going into battle. Maybe 382 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.880 this is the first appearance of her Mojo Verse warpaint, so I'd be curious. 383 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.119 I have to look back on future issues. So we're back with the 384 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:29.160 X men. Psiloc is trying to work cyclops as advisor off. She's able 385 00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:33.640 to rip it off of his head through Professor Xavier's motion. So Professor has 386 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:38.359 like commandeered Psiloc's head and body, and she rips off his visor so that 387 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:48.559 his optic beams can zact the booth where Mojo is. Oh isn't this exciting? 388 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:53.359 The actions so lifelike, you can almost feel the heat. And the 389 00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:59.839 trick about this is is that he actually lyned the control booth with Mojo. 390 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:07.160 Oum yes, trademarks. Trademark by the way, TM, I'm guessing it's 391 00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.440 like vibranium, but or adam antium or any of the any of the ems 392 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:18.160 of the Marble Metal Verse. So yes, Mojoe eum okay, so Professor 393 00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.960 has to work around that. So through Silox's body, he then pivots Cyclops's 394 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.119 visor full blast at Rogue and it blasts her restraints off, so the ones 395 00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:32.079 on her mouth and her hands break off, and it busts her through the 396 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.160 dome ceiling that they are fighting in, and she goes end up going into 397 00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.839 space. Well, not only does she end up going into space, but 398 00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:45.359 she ends up becoming visible to outside of the dome, which actually is a 399 00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:53.640 huge giant arena filled with spectators that are just bloodthirsty for the destruction of the 400 00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:57.400 X Men. And she's looking her around and she's all like, that blast 401 00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:02.400 knocked me cleaned away from Joe's influence. But if I attack again, get 402 00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:07.799 too close, how could I be certain I won't become his little circus befomer 403 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:13.359 again? And then they're all saying, log broadcast Mojoe? What does that 404 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.880 mean? Long live Mojoe? But life is the broadcast, so they want, 405 00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:24.079 oh, I love it long to broadcast to Mojoe. Rogue is hesitant 406 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:30.759 to go back in, but Betsy, commandeered again by Professor, is using 407 00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.880 her psychic abilities to go into Rogue's mind, and this art of her face, 408 00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:37.000 it's so good. This is like prime Jim Lee stuff, like he 409 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:43.319 obviously is amazing, but I felt like he drew rogue so well, oh 410 00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.920 yeah, and I love the butterfly effect right there, m because you know 411 00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:52.440 that's pure psiloc. It's gorgeous. Yes, So they instruct her on what 412 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.559 she needs to do next, and she goes, I got it, and 413 00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:59.519 she goes charging back into the arena. But then we cut to Meanwhile, 414 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:06.640 we see Dazzler and Mojo to the sequel crawling underneath the arena yep, and 415 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:10.400 they are going up against a whole bunch of robotic bad guys miscellaneous bad guy 416 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:19.359 one bad Robot number two to damn slaps wet and yeah, because you know 417 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.920 it's dark underneath. Luckily, Dazzler's lightpowers lights up everything, so it's very 418 00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:29.960 very bright as she was. That's everybody. Mojo to the Sequel and Dazzler 419 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.160 as they're going through this, they really want to make sure that their victory 420 00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.519 over Mojo is broadcasted. So Mojo too, the sequel says, well, 421 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:43.559 you and I battle his dog soldiers. My loyal key grips are attaching a 422 00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:50.759 piggyback signal onto Mojo's own. The spined people will revolt if they believe they 423 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:55.000 have half a chance. So that's a key point, you guys, because 424 00:33:55.039 --> 00:34:00.720 the whole plot with this is to allow the people to revolt. The spine 425 00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:05.000 people, of course, being long shots race, that alien race that was 426 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.559 created for the spineless ones to act as slaves. That's what they mean by 427 00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:14.559 the spine one, So they want them to revolt. My favorite thing about 428 00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:19.360 this line is the fact that he calls his henchmen he grips. Yeah, 429 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:24.679 which you know, in Hollywood terms, they are set people. It's so 430 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:29.800 cool. Yeah, the mojovers. Noah, I'm going to send my key 431 00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:37.400 grips after them. So, because Psiloc and Cyclops are going off script because 432 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.639 they're freeing rogue and they're doing things that are not a part of this broadcast, 433 00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.239 Gambit, who is still under control, wax them with his bow staff 434 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:50.920 and knocks him out, and Cyclops it's like Gambit no, and then Jubilees 435 00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.239 thinking to herself, Gambit attacked before the Professor could clear the Cajun's mind. 436 00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:58.880 Let's see if I could bring the old Wolfster back to Earth, and then 437 00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.199 Wolverine's just like, oh no, please stay back, But Jubilee is running 438 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:06.800 right towards him, blasting her fireworks powers, which kind of stunts him, 439 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:12.480 and she says Ah is a whittle old, frady cat, scared of a 440 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.400 girl. Just for a little clarification, Wolverine is, of course reduced to 441 00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:21.960 a scared version of Wolverine. He's obviously so brave in all of his comics, 442 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:24.000 but when he's on Mojo Verse, he's a scared witt old kitty. 443 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:29.599 And he says, I ain't never back down to a skirt and no one, 444 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:35.000 no one calls Wolverine a frady cat, at least not twice anyways, 445 00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:39.400 And he comes jumping at Jubilee with a snick. Yeah, but it's okay 446 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:44.320 because he did come back to his senses, and he went right flying into 447 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:52.639 Mojo's sanctuary, screaming Mojo scribed yes, and he has caused more damage to 448 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:59.679 the Mojonium, a shell that is protecting Mojo. Mojo walking off the set 449 00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.599 in the middle of a performance. I'm afraid not Miss Cheney. By the 450 00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:08.639 way, that's a typo. It's supposed to be Miss Chaney, but it's 451 00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:14.159 Miss Channey. Oh you're right, Do I get a no price? This 452 00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:17.840 is not Cheney change. Is it with an e not an a. It's 453 00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.599 with an e? Yes, correct, that's the correct spelling with an a. 454 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:27.599 Yes. Oh the digital verse yours is an e yes, Mine is 455 00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:35.079 an e. Oh. Okay uh, Marvel Unlimited just heads up, you 456 00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:39.320 know left. Yes, So he says, have your people called my people, 457 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:45.800 Wolverine, we'll do lunch to what she says, sooner than you think, 458 00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:51.599 Bob and siloc that's her cue, she says. Now rogue. Oh, 459 00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.000 she comes crashing in because she was, you know, in orbit basically, 460 00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:58.760 and she has used the speed of just flying into Earth and she's able 461 00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:06.960 to crack through Moji mojonium trademarked shell due to Cyclops and Wolverine weakening the shell. 462 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.519 On the streets outside, a commotion starts happening, and the people start 463 00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:15.840 seeing what's going on, and one of them starts saying, zas vid It 464 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:21.480 is, as the pirate programmer vowed, the spineless Mojo is vulnerable at last. 465 00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:24.320 Meanwhile, on the streets outside, a big commotion is starting up because 466 00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:30.280 everybody is catching on that Mojo is being attacked and could be defeated. And 467 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:35.960 one of the guys who has a mustache and this weird laurel flowing Thori hair 468 00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:40.559 with a purple striped I don't know, turtleneck thing. I don't know. 469 00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:44.840 Actually, you know what, I kind of like it, kind of like 470 00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:46.960 this look, okay, And it was weird. It was weird to me 471 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:51.840 out for a second, but it grew on me. Lorel hair on the 472 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:55.239 streets outside, he says, zas vid it is as the Pirate programmer vowed, 473 00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.400 the spineless Mojo is vulnerable at last, But is it enough? Has 474 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:06.440 Mojo fallen? But your guy is way cooler. Oh? Yes, he's 475 00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:14.840 got like mohawk with two rat tail braids coming down his shoulders. You know 476 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:16.599 a look, it is a look. I think we need to put up 477 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:22.360 a Luke vote on social media. Ed say who who would you not? 478 00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.719 Who would you rather? And say, like, you know which look is 479 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:30.639 better? M you know, orange shirky or purple shirt guy? Yes? 480 00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:35.519 And if if you want to vote on this poll, be sure to follow 481 00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:40.679 x Reid's podcast on all social media platforms. Yes, when they are watching 482 00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:46.440 this TV all in awe there with bated breath, waiting to see if Mojo's 483 00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:55.880 defeated, But for not because ha ha pathetic fools. We're all your top 484 00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:00.199 billing and star treatment. You are a little more than extras and the big 485 00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:05.719 picture I made you the mega media stars my X Men, and I can 486 00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:10.159 have you canceled just as easily. And this is the big Ursula moment at 487 00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:15.000 the end of The Little Mermaid when she becomes supersized and has it tried it 488 00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:19.679 and is about to kill everything. But guess who is on the bottom of 489 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:25.679 this giant photo of Mojo. It is Rogue and she has got cakes. 490 00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:31.039 Yes, this is X Men, the animated series, when she's going up 491 00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:42.880 against Apocalypse Apocalypse Booty jim Ley the inspiration for it. Obviously she got cakes. 492 00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:50.679 So yeah, outside, the spined ones are scared, but they are 493 00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:57.679 still willing to revolt because you know, for better they die free than continue 494 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.880 a life of the Spineless Monster as their slaves. So they go two of 495 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:07.239 the Garden and Mojo is like, oh, maybe I should have stuck to 496 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:14.159 Brady Bunch reruns. Maybe you should have and Dazzler comes bursting into the scene. 497 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:21.199 I cannot not mention the Brady Bunch story that I just had coincidentally, 498 00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.320 what's that? It's synchronicity. I haven't thought about The Brady Bunch in like 499 00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:30.360 a goa jillion years. But I went with my friend Holland, who is 500 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:37.679 actually plug our terror reader for the Uncanny Experience. We were walking around Studio 501 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.119 City, you know, doing the dog walk thing, and I looked to 502 00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:45.760 the left and I was like, oh, hey, that's the Brady Bunch 503 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:50.840 house. It's totally in Studio City. It just like right there. Walked 504 00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:53.000 past it most of the time, didn't really notice it until then I was 505 00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:58.400 like, yeah, that's really cool. HGTV actually rehabbed it. At the 506 00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:02.599 time it was worth three million dollars, but through that reality show, they 507 00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:07.840 completely refurbished it to look exactly like the set of The Brady Bunch back in 508 00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:12.679 the day. The exterior is the same as the set, but the interior 509 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:17.079 wasn't and the rehab is uncanny. Yes. Now, the thing about it 510 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.000 is it just went back on the market. Guess how much it's being sold 511 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:28.760 for? Ten million? Ten million? Jesus. Okay, let me put 512 00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:32.880 this into perspective. Okay, ten million is a lot. It started out 513 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.679 as three million, Okay, then they did the rehab. You can't go 514 00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:42.119 up to ten everything else, I know, but everything in the house is 515 00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:47.000 like from the seventies. I mean like it's not modernized furniture. Well, 516 00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:54.039 flawless execution of a TV family home. People might pay for that. Yeah, 517 00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:59.440 well it is priced at five million dollars. So if you are listening 518 00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:02.119 to this right now and you have five million dollars and you are nostalgic for 519 00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:09.000 some classic television starring those Brady Bunch family, you know what You're in luck 520 00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:15.239 because you have the opportunity to purchase their home. Incredible. I want to 521 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:19.440 do it. Actually, I want to buy it. Just take out the 522 00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:22.800 five million in your bank account goal buy it. Anyways, back to Dazzler, 523 00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:29.760 Dazzler, and who is your handsome friend? Oh surely you remember me, 524 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:34.800 the clone you left on the editing room floor. Oh yes, the 525 00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:39.719 flawed one. If compassion for all people as a flaw, guilty as charge. 526 00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:44.920 But there are those on this world who believe that spines are a virtue. 527 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:51.280 Guests who comes bursting in one of the luckiest people on the Mojo Verse 528 00:42:51.400 --> 00:43:00.360 planet universe asteroid. Is it a dimension, it's a world world at her 529 00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:06.000 start? Oh no, no, wait, nope, launch shot. He 530 00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:08.039 burst in with his sword and he says I happen to be one of them 531 00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:13.800 for too long? Have you used the psychic energies of your spineless couch potatoes, 532 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:19.000 enhanced by the euphoria of the X Men exploits to suppress the rights of 533 00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:27.199 my people. It ends here now, and Julie says, believe him, 534 00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:31.440 but I love how she's like between his legs. In the background it emphasize 535 00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:35.079 like, you know, kind of like the by the way but beat hand. 536 00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:42.239 Yeah, yeah, I love it. So Ba boom. The wall 537 00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.519 goes down and we see a whole mob of people coming to cancel Mojo. 538 00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:52.039 The yellow season is Ovar and this guy's got a pitchfork. Oh, look 539 00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:57.000 at the fashion of Mojo verse though, because we don't actually get to see 540 00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:01.840 the fashion that often. But this is our pure firsthand up clows and personal 541 00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:07.960 look with the people. What do you see? Well, so our mohawk 542 00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:12.920 with the two rat tails guy he is wearing like an orange body suit and 543 00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:20.960 next to him is a purple robed figure, open chested with loincloth like allah 544 00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:25.320 mystique that's teal and comes down over blue pants. And then we've got somebody 545 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:31.199 that's wearing like headgear similar to how Angel and half fuck and everybody put on 546 00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:37.000 their head, and he's wearing an orange suit and a jacket like gambits over 547 00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.559 at holding a staff, and then all of a sudden, Mojoe he burst 548 00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:47.199 out one of his energy beams with a crasatte and he says, polease people, 549 00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:52.440 give a fella a chance to clear out his desk. No, yes, 550 00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:54.039 and he's like zapping down to people, but the long Shot says, 551 00:44:54.199 --> 00:45:00.000 no, never again. Will you take a life for your own sadistic pleasures 552 00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:05.719 are those of your equally twisted viewers? Yeah, because he actually, with 553 00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.599 that energy zapp killed a bunch of people. I was deadly forced, he 554 00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:15.360 just used. Yeah's lunging at him and that knife is about to penetrate, 555 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:20.639 and Mojo's all like, yes, long Shot, work with me, go 556 00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:27.119 with your feelings. Give them a finale they can remember, give them me, 557 00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:35.039 and he does. But does he? I mean, we don't see 558 00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:38.199 a body just smoke. Oh yeah, and Mojo can teleport. I don't 559 00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:43.159 think he's dead. I don't think he's dead either. Comics you guys. 560 00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.559 But you know what, when this came out, I can imagine that, 561 00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:50.639 you know, me thinking in my head, this is the final moment for 562 00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:58.199 Mojo, this character, and this was epic, and this was so huge 563 00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:02.679 and so monuments. Actually, you know it was very Shakespearean. Yes, 564 00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.840 absolutely well, and the people are now instead of cheering long lived long shot, 565 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:13.880 they say long air long shot. Oh my god, I love it. 566 00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:16.960 I didn't catch that the first time around for some reason. I love 567 00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:24.960 Mojo versus Lingo Lingo. It is. Oh. And then Dazzler goes in 568 00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:30.280 for the kiss. You did it, We did it to make this world 569 00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:35.760 a better place. Oh okay, now this this is the moment we've all 570 00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:39.039 been waiting for, you guys, because the tea is about to be spilled. 571 00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:43.159 Are you ready? I want some sugar with your tea? Do you 572 00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:46.400 got some of those little tea cookies? Bring it on hand? I'm ready? 573 00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:53.800 Okay, Because Professor Charles Xavier chimes in and he says, just in 574 00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:59.559 time, it would seem for what greater gift could two parents give to the 575 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:07.760 un born child? I sense with an Allison, Yes, secrets. You 576 00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:12.719 know, I think they should have the choice if they want to mention that 577 00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:17.199 you know they're gonna have a baby. Oh oh crap, oh man, 578 00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:22.920 Chandler, damn it, did you just give me a Zach Morris's trash moment, 579 00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:28.400 ah crap, because you know, I mean, at the age that 580 00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:31.239 we're at, we've have peers that you know, family that had children and 581 00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:35.239 stuff like that, and we know the etiquette. The etiquette is you are 582 00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.719 not supposed to say anything if you know, you keep it in. It 583 00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:45.280 is their news to tell and that's the end of that. But Nope, 584 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:50.920 not Charles Xavier. He just goes in gets that information in, blabs blabs 585 00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:53.159 blabs rude. But you know, they do look at each other with a 586 00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:58.039 little heart over Dazzler's head, which I think is super cute. Yeah, 587 00:47:58.039 --> 00:48:00.000 it is cute, and they have a loving moment. It's very tender. 588 00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:07.920 But then Dazzler turns over to the sequel of Mojo and puts her finger right 589 00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:12.039 in his chest and says, as we're going to be raising a kid, 590 00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:17.480 it'll be up to you to rule this planet fairly. Mmm. I would 591 00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:22.159 not have it any other way, he says. And Lila, Silac and 592 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:24.880 Rogue all decide that it's time to celebrate. You know, Lila can easily 593 00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:28.920 teleport them all the way, but you know they want to stay with Dazzler. 594 00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:30.679 You know, she's a former teammate. They need to celebrate this news, 595 00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:36.679 so they decide to stay. But Jubilee, she's not feeling it. 596 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:39.679 Yeah, she's kind of like, you know, sneaking off. She's saying 597 00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:44.400 to herself. Maybe it's an age thing, but I don't get it. 598 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.920 Ratings mean power on this world, and we just gave whoever is in charge 599 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:54.519 higher numbers in the last episode of Cosby. So if we won, do 600 00:48:54.599 --> 00:49:00.280 I feel like we're still being rubed? Mmm? Ooh? And then we 601 00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:07.800 that is that is a slangy word I haven't heard in a while, No 602 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:14.159 kidding. We get this incredible double page spread of Jim Lee art and this 603 00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:16.920 is his farewell issue. As you told me earlier today, this is the 604 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:21.320 last issue that Jim Lee did for X Men before he went to Image, 605 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:23.920 So I think this is his like farewell. Like I love the X Men, 606 00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:27.840 I'm going to give them this last splash page before I go. And 607 00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:32.800 it's so beautiful. Oh, this is seared into my memory as an iconic 608 00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:37.199 piece of art that I will never forget. So we have all the characters 609 00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:43.719 looking super stoic super hero posed, except for Jubilee, who's seated on the 610 00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:49.239 ground with soda in her mouth and popcorn, which I absolutely love that. 611 00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:52.360 And her glasses are pink, by the way, unlike the cover, which 612 00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:59.400 are green. They're pink on the popcorn, it says homage pop Okay, 613 00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:05.280 yeah, I want to read through this because it brings up an interesting topic. 614 00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:09.519 Psiloc in response to Jubilee saying why do I feel like we're still being 615 00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:15.079 rude? She says the child is a point. Jubilee says, thanks, 616 00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:19.639 and who are you calling a child? How do we know we're not still 617 00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:24.480 being manipulated, to which Cyclops replies, we don't here or in the real 618 00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:31.000 world. There are no guarantees in life people, and Beast says there comes 619 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:37.199 a time between life and death when all men stop to catch their breath. 620 00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:42.800 We ask the stars why we question our lot? The heavens open wide. 621 00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:52.679 In reply, why not, Yeats says Wolverine. Nope, Beast and Dazzler 622 00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:57.239 and long Shot are in the corner. Long SHOT's got a hand on her 623 00:50:57.239 --> 00:51:04.079 belly, and Dazzler says, shatters are You've got to be kidding? Okay, 624 00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:07.840 Now, there is a lot going on in this Okay, because first 625 00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:12.880 off, now this whole page has me thinking, are we all trapped in 626 00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:16.519 a simulation? Have you heard of the simulation theory? Chandler? Oh sure, 627 00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:21.320 I mean matrix, etc. But yes, are we in a simulation? 628 00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:25.800 I don't know. I don't think so, I don't know. I 629 00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:31.199 mean sometimes I think so, who knows. What strikes me about this image 630 00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:37.679 is that I noticed that Gambit's arms are bare when he rolls up his sleeves 631 00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:43.239 of his jacket, and it makes me think that his pink armor underneath is 632 00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:46.679 like a tank top. Oh my god, here I am having an existential 633 00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:52.679 crisis and you're worried about Gambit's bare arm. Yes, I don't think that's 634 00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:55.679 how it's uniform works. That could just be a coloring thing. But that's 635 00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:00.239 what really stands out to me, existential crisis about living in a simulation. 636 00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:06.880 I don't think about that kind of stuff. Okay, fine, let's get 637 00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.519 on to the other news in here. And that's the fact that there is 638 00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:15.000 a name for this baby. Yeah, it is written there, Shatterstar. 639 00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:20.360 Yes, tell me what you know about this so easter Egg. Yeah. 640 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:24.119 So this whole thing is a big mess, obviously, because so she is 641 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:30.559 allegedly pregnant with Shatterstar, at this time in comics history, Shatterstar is a 642 00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:37.079 full grown adult on X Force in the comics, so you're thinking to yourself, 643 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:43.880 how did this happen? And then this is like I don't even know 644 00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:49.320 where to begin with this. So she comes back to Earth, she doesn't 645 00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:53.800 remember that she's pregnant, and then she never has a baby. So at 646 00:52:53.880 --> 00:53:00.760 some point she must have given birth on Mojo Verse and then through the process 647 00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:06.679 of going to Earth forgot. And what we learned in this long Shot Shatterstar 648 00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:13.480 series is that long Shot of course is the father, but that Shatterstar is 649 00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:19.119 in fact the father of long Shot because he went back in time to Mojo 650 00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:23.559 World before long Shot was created, and through a DNA sample of Shatterstar, 651 00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:30.760 they created long Shot in the Race of spined Ones, and then long Shot 652 00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:32.599 then obviously went on to live, fall in love with Dazzler, and have 653 00:53:32.679 --> 00:53:37.559 a baby, which is Shatterstar. So they're cut. They're stuck in the 654 00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:43.079 time loop, like Shatterstar must go back in time in order to get his 655 00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:45.400 DNA taken otherwise his father won't be bored. And I feel like it's back 656 00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:51.239 to the future all over again. Well, it is also Fry from future 657 00:53:51.360 --> 00:54:00.000 rama because Philip J. Fry was also bored through time travel time travelery. 658 00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:06.639 It's like Tom Foolery, except time travelery. And on top of all this, 659 00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:09.039 you know, we brought this up to Fabi Nissa when he was on 660 00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:14.920 our show the first time. We asked him the question what do you think 661 00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:20.079 about Shatterstar being the son and the father of long Shot? And he was 662 00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:22.880 so baffled that he didn't know that this had happened, And his response was 663 00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:30.079 pretty hilarious. Oh cool, I'll play the clip. Did you intend Shatterstar 664 00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:34.280 to be the son and father of long Shot? No? I don't think 665 00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:37.400 I did. No, I don't, And I don't think robbed it either. 666 00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:44.760 I only got really kind of sketchy, sketchy, sketchy character bios on 667 00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:53.320 the characters themselves, and Shatterstar was pretty sketchy. So there was nothing that 668 00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:58.719 I remember that said he was gonna be that. I don't think I did 669 00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:02.400 any of that. Most I got into Shatterstar with those horrific, awful Shattershot 670 00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:07.280 annuals that I did, um and and and I don't even remember that I 671 00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:09.920 didn't say that about him, then? Did I? Did I say that 672 00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:14.400 he was long Shots. No, no, no, that came out. 673 00:55:14.679 --> 00:55:19.440 That came out later on. It just uh, is he is he long 674 00:55:19.519 --> 00:55:22.559 Yeah? He is. He's a clone. Long Shot is a clone of 675 00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:30.239 Shatterstar, who time traveled to I think Mojo World beforehand. Okay, Shatterstar 676 00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:34.639 was born after yeah, years after a long Shot. Yeah, yeah, 677 00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:38.000 but I guess in in in the current storyline, he then went back in 678 00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:44.440 time before long Shot was created, and then they took his DNA made long 679 00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:51.239 Shot and then a long Shot and Dazzler had Shatterstar. So long Shot and 680 00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:58.960 Dazzler or Shatterstar's parents. Yes, that makes no sense. Okay, you 681 00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:02.519 have to understand. I quit X Men with issue number forty five. I 682 00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:07.840 don't think I read an issue of X Men until Terry Cavanaugh asked me to 683 00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:13.280 script over Alan Davis's a couple of Alan Davis issues like ten years later and 684 00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:16.159 eight years later, I hadn't read anything, And after I scripted those issues, 685 00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:22.119 I didn't read anything again for another ten years. I don't, you 686 00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:24.079 know, I just I don't know. It's it's not it's not a family 687 00:56:24.119 --> 00:56:30.199 of titles that I've had a particular vested interest in follow, and yet I've 688 00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:36.800 sporadically read trade paperbacks from multiple different errors over the last twenty you know, 689 00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:40.760 twenty twenty five years. I've read some of the current stuff too, the 690 00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:45.920 Hickman stuff when it first launched, and then a couple of sporadic trade paperbacks. 691 00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:51.159 Unless I'm unless I'm being tasked to write something that requires me to have 692 00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:55.320 an idea of the current con regular ongoing basis. Yeah, that's it's so 693 00:56:55.360 --> 00:56:59.360 hard to follow. I've been I was out of comics for over ten years, 694 00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:04.159 so I hear what it's like to to to be out of it and 695 00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:07.079 not know what's going on. But let's watching general It's like watching General Hospital. 696 00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:15.280 You haven't watched what the hell? And that's the issue. But before 697 00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:21.679 we get to the end of the issue, we have our very last It 698 00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:27.719 is the Konami X Men Arcade Machine advertisement. So we love this. Of 699 00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:31.079 course, we love the arcade Machine. You've seen us gush about it, 700 00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:37.360 You've seen us play it at arcades when we have our podcast birthdays. Everybody 701 00:57:37.400 --> 00:57:39.679 loves this game. We actually mentioned earlier in Dazzler's outfit as she's from the 702 00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:45.559 Arcade Machine. This machine, I think made a lot of X Men fans 703 00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:52.079 Oh yeah, We're obsessed and this game will be playable at the Uncanny Experience. 704 00:57:52.400 --> 00:57:55.800 Oh, we are going to have an arcade inside the mansion called the 705 00:57:55.880 --> 00:58:00.840 Jubilatian Station. So if you want to play, uh, the X Men 706 00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:06.920 game, come on down. Yeah. And I want to know who is 707 00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.679 your main Chris, who who do you play on this game? Oh? 708 00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:13.719 It switches all the time. I mean right now in my life, I 709 00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:19.440 feel like I'm back to Storm. Mostly it's Storm, you know. Sometimes 710 00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:23.360 I like to dabble with the Dazzler M a little little Nightcrawler action jump and 711 00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:29.960 he jump. Yes, but but Storm is just so regal, and she's 712 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:36.719 wearing the black bathing suit. Ye, so beautiful. Oh yes, yes, 713 00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:40.679 I'm a Nightcrawler main he I typically always love to play Nightcrawler, but 714 00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:45.079 now that you know I have the machine myself, I like to play all 715 00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:46.639 the characters because I don't have to put a quarter in, I could just 716 00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:50.800 do whatever I want. Well, this was a fun issue, and I'm 717 00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:54.559 really glad we got to gush about Mojo and just kind of get the get 718 00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:58.760 the show, and you know, to just you and I.
