Hi, everybody. This is Chandler, and this is Chris, and this

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:21.039
is Chad. And you're listening to
the podcast. Everybody. We're here with

3
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:26.800
episode one six and we have a
very special guest, Chad Anderson of Gray

4
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.839
Maulk and Lane Podcast. Welcome Chad. Hello, Chad. I'm so happy

5
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.039
to be back at your house.
This is great. It's good to have

6
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.039
you back. Now. You've been
on the show before and now you've come

7
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.439
back to us with this very special
issue that we're going to get into,

8
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.600
all about the nineties and a rogue
sentinel. But before we get into that,

9
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.119
we have no questions about your podcast. Yeah, I want to dive

10
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.960
into the history. Why did you
start it? Now? Has your podcast

11
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.719
evolved over time? Give us a
little like taste of the format. All

12
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.920
they the super fast version. I
have a lot of creative energy to offer,

13
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.400
and I used to write comics,
then I wrote books, and then

14
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:08.599
I made a movie, and then
a pandemic hit and I was like,

15
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.719
what do I do with all this
energy? And I researched and thought things

16
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.920
over for a while and launched a
show. We are now over three years

17
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.359
later. My show involves the formulation
of small ensembles of comic book professionals.

18
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.760
We review old Silver Age comic books
together and it's a ton of fun.

19
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:33.640
We're hitting the early seventies right now, building slowly toward Giant Size X Men

20
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.719
number one, which should be the
premiere episode of twenty twenty five. So

21
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.680
I'm very excited to be in a
new era of the Silver Age. It's

22
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.719
been a great time this year on
the show. Wonderful. Who have been

23
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.319
some of your favorite guests on the
show. Oh, that's like choosing my

24
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:56.000
favorite child, my favorite Every episode
is so unique. My favorite episodes that

25
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.480
stand out though, are those that
have involved me meeting and befriending some of

26
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.200
my like childhood heroes. Jam Day, Matteus, Anni Nassenti, Fabe Nicieza,

27
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.560
and Ian Churchill are probably the top
four. These are people that I

28
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.879
just adored growing up, and to
be on like a first name basis with

29
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.080
them is such a crazy thing to
happen to be at forty five, you

30
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.080
know, absolutely, yeah, Well
you know, not only do you have

31
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.280
a podcast, but you're so talented
and creative. You have other projects going

32
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.639
on too, like Gay Mormon Dad. Can you tell us about that?

33
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.919
Gay Mormon Dad is my memoir that
I published back in twenty eighteen, which

34
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.639
I am now adapting into a graphic
memoir. So it was crazy taking my

35
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:46.199
own story of trauma and survival and
resiliency. I have commissioned excuse me,

36
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.599
I'm partnering with Remy Burt, who
is an incredible non binary artist. Seeing

37
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.599
my life captured through the eyes of
another penciler like using my references, it's

38
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.039
a crazy experience. We ran a
successful Kickstarter and April the book is fully

39
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:06.080
funded and the art is coming in
regularly. It is such a joy to

40
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.360
see my story interpreted in this way, so I'm really proud of it.

41
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.319
The print memoir is still out there
on Amazon. I'm also proud of that.

42
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.960
But seeing it in this format,
I think is it's going to tell

43
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.199
my story in a different way,
and I think it has the potential to

44
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.680
help a lot of people. It's
a powerful story. It also feels like

45
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.960
a legacy. I'm leaving my children
in a weird way, like it's just

46
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.879
it's a really big honor to put
this book together. To see where I've

47
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.120
come from and what I've created with
my life, you know, that's fantastic.

48
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.360
When can we expect it to be
available. It depends on the speed

49
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.400
with which the art is finished,
So my loose answer is January through July

50
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:49.240
next year. But I'm really looking
forward to it awesome. Can't wait to

51
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.120
see it and read it in our
favorite format of comic book form. Same

52
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:02.400
now, you attended The Uncanny Experience
for our inaugural freshman year. We're just

53
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.400
curious what were some of your favorite
moments from the event. You know,

54
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:13.240
it was so intensely legitimizing, and
to be asked by you guys to moderate

55
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.199
the panel for the voice actors from
the original cartoon series, what a just

56
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:23.600
tremendous joy being present there. I
got to be a professor in a class

57
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.879
about the Silver Age, and I
got to meet some of my childhood heroes

58
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:31.040
again. It was also an opportunity
to meet thirty to forty of the people

59
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.839
that I have befriended through the show, including the two of you. Seeing

60
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:41.839
everyone in person and having those connections
be real in real life was so wonderful.

61
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.120
Everyone there was just all smiles the
entire weekend. Everyone was so happy

62
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.759
to be there, and I would
not say this word not true. It's

63
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.959
my favorite con I've ever attended.
I can't wait to come back again this

64
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.160
summer, and I've got some really
fun plans for panels. We're doing a

65
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.319
fashion review, which is maybe the
most fun you've ever had at a panel

66
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.879
ever. I promise, trust me, you'll come and see you You'll see

67
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.240
what I'm talking about. We're also
going to do a sentinels class this year,

68
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:11.040
which I'm very excited about. We're
talking sentinels today. I feel like

69
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.800
I have a college degree in sentinels
after doing a whole month of sentinels on

70
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.040
my show. Right, I can't
wait for your dissertation on sentinels. Yeah,

71
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:24.439
it's something well, super fun.
I'm so glad to hear the feedback

72
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.680
because you know, we worked tirelessly
on that event and we cannot wait for

73
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.160
it to come back this September twenty
eighth and twenty ninth in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

74

82
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.800
In fact, I just recorded an
episode before we're doing this and I'm still

83
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.000
smiling from of that one. It
was really fun. Yes, that's great

84
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:15.720
happiness and joy. So you brought
us a very huge, ginormous, big

85
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:25.639
issue with a whopping eighty four pages
of awesome in which nothing happens. Well,

86
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.480
no, there's one climate moment which
we'll get into regarding a sentinel,

87
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.480
but and a lot of weird moments. Yes, such a choice. So

88
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.639
why did you choose this issue?
You know, when I was doing a

89
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.879
Sentinels month on my show, I
did a lot of research into how we

90
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.160
tell robots stories in popular fiction.
I'll cover this very quickly. There's three

91
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.319
ways that we tell robot stories,
and the sentinels all fall into this.

92
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:53.199
Number one is we tell the story
of robots as the tool of man being

93
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:59.319
programmed in a particular way. And
then people like what their responsibility is with

94
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.720
that technology. Number two is when
the robots become sentient and do they decide

95
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:09.040
to be good or evil compared to
how Man feels about them. And then

96
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:13.079
the third story, oversimplifying, is
when robots become like the Doomsday weapon.

97
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.879
It's the thing that tries to destroy
everything on the earth. And we see

98
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.040
these three types of stories revisited a
jillion million times in the Sentinels over the

99
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:26.000
years. There's a shocking number of
Sentinels becoming sentient stories and this is one

100
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.480
of them, and it's kind of
a cute one. So when I was

101
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.199
asked to come on the show,
this was a fresh one in my mind.

102
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.759
It's a simple read, it's a
standalone issue, and I have fond

103
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.560
memories of it. It's fun and
as Chris says, big it has so

104
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.920
many characters in it. And yeah, we'll dive into it, but first

105
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:49.399
let's set the era. Yes,
so this is X Men Annual Volume two,

106
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:54.160
ninety six. How do you say
this? Yeah, so x x

107
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.519
Men Annual ninety six. This isn't
an era where they stopped doing numbers and

108
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.240
they just started like the year of
the annuals. So it's X Men Annual

109
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:07.800
Apostrophe ninety six. Yeah, number
ninety six, I know that. I

110
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.199
got like confused for a second because
we're so everything ninety seven. I was

111
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.800
like, oh wait, there was
a ninety six the Dawn of ninety seven?

112
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:22.279
Was this the prequel? But anyway, the publication date was November thirtieth

113
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.720
of nineteen ninety five. Actually.
Yeah. The top song of this era

114
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.720
was a song that I sang anytime
it came on the radio. It is

115
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:37.279
One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and
Boyce to men, all right, this

116
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.039
is this is taking me back to
like high school dances in the cap and

117
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.919
uh oh yeah, no that was
That was a song that was everywhere.

118
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.240
Somebody I love a music video too, where they're all in the recording studio

119
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:56.279
and Maria Carey's doing her whistle tone
work. Come on you want you want

120
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.440
the bar? Yeah? I want
the song, suby. I never told

121
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:11.799
you all I wanted to say,
And now it's too late to hold you

122
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:22.480
because you've gone away so far away, all right. Never have I imagined

123
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.159
I could say the whole song.
I don't know, I don't know.

124
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.960
I don't remember this song. My
I know this song, but I have

125
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.440
a little weird jukebox brain. So
when you say one fine day, I

126
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.840
go back to like the nineteen fifties, like one fine day. Yeah.

127
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.759
He looked at me like that's where
my brain goes. Well, this is

128
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.320
one sweet day on sweet so keep
it, keep it sweet. What was

129
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.759
the top movie, Chris? The
top movie was Toy Story, the original

130
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.000
the og the first Pixar movie of
all time. Yeah, I was a

131
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.039
big deal in this air. That
was a huge deal in nineteen get I

132
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.279
think it was one. Yeah,
one of the first all CGI animated you

133
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.039
know releases. Obviously it caught Disney's
attention and they bought them. Yeah,

134
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.960
that's right. And now, at
the time of recording this, we are

135
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.039
currently in a timeline of Pixar where
Inside Out Too is out in the movie

136
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.919
theaters. Yes, so they have
come a long way, Pixar. So

137
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.440
we are doing as Chris said.
Xcellent Annual nineteen ninety six or Apause Free

138
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.679
ninety six written by Larry Hama.
Oh love Larry Hama, Yes, a

139
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.039
previous guest on our show. Go
back and listen to whatever episode number that

140
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.919
is. We can't keep track anymore. It is art Yes by Roberto Flores

141
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:41.639
and Anthony Castillo. Yeah, all
right, well let's start with the cover.

142
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.840
The cover is beautiful. It's by
Bernard Chang. I could tell by

143
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:50.360
the signature it is not the interior
artist. And it's great. But Storm

144
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.080
looks very sad on this cover.
Yeah, she's actually giving kind of a

145
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:00.879
Disney princess sprawl. Yes, like
at the at the foot of a graves

146
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.919
or at the fountain or at the
foot of the bed. Yes, a

147
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:11.039
sentinel has just fainted and there's like
thirty characters gathered around it. But they're

148
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.840
they're setting up the story well,
because we get this wolverine looking at cable

149
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.200
moment, which you know, kind
of delves in, and also everyone's looking

150
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.639
at each other suspiciously. We get
a little side eyes. Bishop has a

151
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.600
side eye. Joseph has a side
eye. Joseph. Joseph just blew out

152
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.960
his homemade yes, exactly. Well, he just keeps it electromagnetically flowing at

153
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.679
all times. I'm so glad that
we get a Joseph isshue, because I

154
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.039
feel like we never get it.
This is a wrap around cover. By

155
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.240
the way, my gosh sore even
more characters. I didn't even see this

156
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.960
until this very moment I was today
years old. There's more, there's rogue,

157
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.120
we have, Oh, Emma Frost
is making an appearance. All of

158
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.080
it's all of the characters who were
in the X Men, X Force and

159
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.039
Generation X at the time, and
the post on slat. This is like

160
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.559
the healing issue where the teams are
getting together after all the Onslaught crazy and

161
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.919
Professor X is missing and like the
world was ending for a minute there.

162
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:16.159
Yeah, And it's funny because we've
did another healing issue after Extinction. What

163
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:22.679
extinct executioner song? Not Extinction executioner, So there's too many ex'es. We

164
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:30.799
did executioner songs at the log with
Jubilee teaching Xavier how to rollerblade and everybody,

165
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.720
like those come down issues always are
people's favorites, so I'm glad that

166
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.039
you chose one. I actually never
read the Onslaught stuff because I was losing

167
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.639
interest at this time in my life. I was like, no, I

168
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.080
was like, I just went through
Age of pocalyps it was fantastic, and

169
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.519
now we're doing this well. Speaking
of the history of the Sentinels, which

170
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.639
is relevant for this issue, Onslaught
was the rage baby of Xavier and Magneto

171
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.799
and they repurposed their own sentinels to
work for them. And there's so many

172
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.759
issues, so this is where all
the heroes were, all all the books

173
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.120
were canceled, so like the final
issue of Avengers and Fantastic Four, and

174
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.039
all these books have giant sentinels in
them because they're all disappearing in Onslaught and

175
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.519
they're all over the Marvel universe right
now. So the sentinel we're going to

176
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.759
meet in this one is a former
Onslaught sentinel who has become sentient. Yes,

177
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.919
indeed, And of course we have
covered the Dawn of Onslaught with X

178
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.919
Men number twenty five that was written
by Fabian Ns and he was our special

179
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.240
guest for that issue, so you
can read and hear all about the act

180
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:43.279
of Xavier wiping Magneto's brain and thus
seating Onslaught. Yes, all right,

181
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.159
well let's get into this issue.
Yes, right away. We have some

182
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:54.720
portraits panels with Wolverine, Cannibal,
Rogue, Siren, Sunspot and m Yes

183
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.720
they are they're they're kind of setting
us up like it's going to be a

184
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:03.200
battle. Yeah, And the cable
on the bottom it gives a lot of

185
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.399
X Men ninety seven energy. When
you get to the group shot like Gambit

186
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:13.960
shirtless Will Ranson is like ratchet,
like post post transformation, no nose era.

187
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.879
Yes, yeah, they love to
get a little slutty when they're playing

188
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:24.360
sports. They love it. They're
like, we're showing all the skin cannonballs

189
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.519
wearing the worst shirt. What is
that? What is like just a It's

190
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.440
like a waste basket upside down with
glasses that look like a trash bin with

191
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:35.440
googly eyes or something. I don't
know what that is. Yeah, No,

192
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.360
I'm not loving the fashion in this
issue. I don't know what is

193
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.200
happening. But Storm, I just
got to say, like, I look

194
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:50.080
at her and she's like beautiful fit, looks like Alicia Marie body. Yes,

195
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.000
with the Tea Boss hair from TLC. Yes, just gorgeous. I

196
00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:00.360
don't know why her socks are so
baggy or she had leg warmers that fell

197
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.679
down around her ankles, but I
don't I don't know what's happening around her

198
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.720
ankles. Yeah, that's a real
odd Actually, we also get Calibin here,

199
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.919
who gets a big moment in this
year. Caliban's a dear favorite of

200
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.919
mine. I love this character.
I'm so fond of him. Yeah,

201
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.200
he's Wolverine. And the hair growing
off of Wolverine's arms is so gross.

202
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.799
It's so gross. That's like a
lie. It's so specific too, It's

203
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.320
like, why doesn't it grow everywhere? No, it's just this four arm

204
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.879
razor hair. I do not want
to see his pubes. I hope it's

205
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.720
all right to say that on your
show. It's totally fine. Yeah,

206
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:43.000
he's looking barrel oh so fair.
I vote for Rogue for best look because

207
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:48.120
it just looks like her her character. She looks like the Barbie doll version

208
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.799
of her, a little bit like
more of a bratstall brats doall. Yes,

209
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:02.559
Castillo U Ethnic Castillo, Robert to
Flora's and Anthony Castrio. Yeah,

210
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:07.799
I don't recall them from other issues
or other areas. It's a big cast

211
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.440
to draw. And Iceman's wearing like
a goofy hat and just being the biggest

212
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:18.120
dumbass through this hole. Yes,
he absolutely is. Well, yeah,

213
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.399
so they're they're they're playing ball,
you know, as they do and uh

214
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.720
as as you set up. The
Storm is up to bat. The teams

215
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:36.399
are tied. This could be the
deciding hit if Wolverine can strike her out.

216
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.600
Then the oh it's the wolver the
Wolfsters versus the Stormers. I forgot

217
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.440
to visit the team names. But
yeah, Wolverine is trying to strike her

218
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:51.600
out and also psych her out at
the same time. Because everybody's you know,

219
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.559
yelling a big game and everyone's trying
to steal bases. There's a lot

220
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.960
there's a lot of baseball talk.
There's a lot of really cute little character

221
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.320
moments, and we don't have to
cover them all. But like Shatterstar being

222
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.960
Domino, this game is no challenge
for a true warrior born. Shouldn't we

223
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.480
be training and boom boom going give
it a rest? Shatterstar like just a

224
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.400
lot of cute little nineties shit like
that. It makes me happy. We

225
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:19.079
have our very first out and this
is for Sprinklins dan In Magic Crystals.

226
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:25.640
Color change crystals, add magic,
you can taste. So basically the ad

227
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:32.240
is kind of like this folding artwork
where I guess it looks like the yogurt

228
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:37.559
bowl. So it's a cup of
yogurt that you add crystals in too,

229
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.920
make your yogurt a different color that
you can taste. Yes, magnificent tasting

230
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.880
coloring. I do not need this
product. And the art. That character's

231
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.920
eyes on that art are horrified.
It's sugar. It's scary. You're adding

232
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:56.920
sugar to your yogurt. This would
be outlawed today in grocery store. Oh

233
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.759
yeah, no, it's fruit or
nothing. But yeah, wrecked sugarhistles onto

234
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.039
yogurt for children. No, that
boy has a full bathtub full of yogurt

235
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.440
that he's about. Yeah, that's
a disgusting ad. I hate it.

236
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:14.119
I'm so grossed out. But the
art is so nineties. Oh it is,

237
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:21.079
you know product, This product is
so nineties. Oh it's one of

238
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:22.319
those fold I don't want to fold
it, fold it, but yeah,

239
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.240
it's like Mad magazine where you fold
it. Yeah, I ad, and

240
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.319
then it appre's to be a different
image. Oh I don't want to do

241
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.279
that. I don't want to.
You don't want to ruin your comic.

242
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.319
Oh okay, we won't ruin your
comic. No, we're not going to

243
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:41.640
ruin that all right. Anyways,
Wolverine brows, he would would you feed

244
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.519
your kids that yogurt? My children
would not eat that yogurt, all right,

245
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:48.759
Not because I wouldn't serve them.
They just would refuse it. They

246
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.200
will, okay, they're not big
sugar kids there. That's just yet.

247
00:18:52.279 --> 00:19:02.799
No, that came vegetables now I've
raised them. Well, well, there's

248
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.680
the goofy hat by the way that
Iceman's wearing. Oh my gosh, it's

249
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:11.880
so goofy, like it's literally goofy, literally literally goofy. Yes, without

250
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.200
like copyright infringement goofy. But yeah, I'll wait a minute. I mean,

251
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:23.640
you know, nowadays it's Disney in
the Marvel so it's all good.

252
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.200
They can have Mickey hats and stuff, and that's true. Yeah, they're

253
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.440
all one family now. Yeah,
but I don't know about Marvel comics.

254
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.960
Well, they know they have the
Disney covers now, yeah, that's right,

255
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.440
the Disney homage, Oh my gosh, Dazzler as many Mouse debuts as

256
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.079
the Dazzler. I have to read
that. Is that just a cover?

257
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.000
It's just a cover. Oh damn
it. Yeah, they don't. They

258
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:49.200
don't redo all the story. There's
it's such a tease Marvel. That would

259
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:56.799
be cute though to see some Disney
characters in classic Marvel Comics stories just drawn

260
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.680
into the story. There are some
of those happening. I think there's a

261
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:03.839
what if Donald Duck became four coming
out? Oh yes, what ifs?

262
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:10.119
Yes? Yeah, Well, anyways, back to the game. So Wolverine

263
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:15.119
he has thrown two strikes and Beast
is trying to steal a base. Uh.

264
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.640
They try to catch him off guard, but he is safe. Cable

265
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:23.680
calls him safe and this is the
start of the Wolverine versus Cable drama because

266
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:30.359
everyone's like boo, okay, So
who is this girl wearing a muppet on

267
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:36.240
her tanks? Julie, you believe
what are they doing to her? Ass?

268
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.359
Is out? She's in her bikini
with a little muppet. That is

269
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:45.160
a little little bikini. We've got
Scott and Jean riding by on dirt bikes

270
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.960
announcing a barbecue. Scott's like open
shirt flowing in the breeze. This is

271
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:55.480
such a mood. I love how
they're popping. We leave, all right,

272
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.359
but we got to like rate some
hair here. What do you think

273
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:03.920
of Jube's hair? Well, she's
giving season five of X Men, the

274
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.160
animated series. Oh my god,
you're right, yes, this is her

275
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.599
season five haircut. Yes, literally
in nineteen ninety six, So this is

276
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:17.680
what she looks like. Are they
probably were told to draw her that way

277
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:21.920
in the show. Interesting if you
go to the next page though, on

278
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.359
the bottom panel where Skin is running, look at Monet's hair. It's like

279
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.279
a powerful slick going. I don't
know what's happening. Yeah, there's a

280
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:36.799
lot going on, but anyways,
third ball goes in, Storm cracks it,

281
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.880
and Wolverine can't catch it and Gamba
can't catch it, and basically the

282
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:48.279
Stormsters win. Yay, But the
game is interrupted by a giant damage sentinel

283
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:59.759
from the sky and a dad If
that got us, Oh yes, it

284
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:03.680
looked scary. I love I love
how sentinels always bring drama. He's all

285
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:10.119
dance moves out. I love it. Yes, oh my gosh. Well,

286
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:17.200
as we know, the sentinel is
not going to attack them, but

287
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.680
they are going to attack ants.
Oh yes they will, yes, which

288
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:23.400
I truly could not blame them.
Right, It's a sentinel over the Xavier

289
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:29.519
School that like got past their defenses, and you know, I understand it.

290
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:33.119
I do. Yes. So we
got Storm, Rogue, Canniball,

291
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.160
sun Spot, Iceman all going after
the sentinel, Cyclops and Gene you know,

292
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.519
hitting the brakes because they're like,
oh my god, a sentinel whipping

293
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.720
around Zarkin, the optic blasts,
oh and then it knocks the Sentinel over

294
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:52.480
into the power lines. No seems
the action in this issue was really short

295
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.119
lived. It happens really quickly,
and as the Sentinel falls, it basically

296
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:03.079
gives them an origin story that it
had like an extra upgraded processor because it

297
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.920
was supposed to like study humans and
sentinels. It was working for Onslaught,

298
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:12.599
but it was made sentient and it
just like was looking for somebodies. It's

299
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.400
kind of like a mutant Sentinel,
which is again I think we've seen a

300
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.119
whole bunch of times. There's a
shocking number of mutant sentinels in the comic

301
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:25.960
books. Yes, yes, well
yeah, he's telling this origin story and

302
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.240
we're getting all the details. But
because of this fight and not because of

303
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.440
the X Men, because of the
power lines, his receptors start failing,

304
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:41.759
so's he's dying and he's scared,
and it makes all the X Men react

305
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.359
and his delights literally go out in
his eyes, and it makes Jubilee start

306
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.960
crying. And as he as he's
dying, he says and Telephontine, I

307
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.000
love her. Don't see when I
oh, it's supposed because not Fontaine Devine

308
00:23:52.160 --> 00:24:02.519
exactly. System crash, is this
shut down. This unit is afraid.

309
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.920
Oh, I feel like, Okay, there's a Wolverine issue, is there?

310
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:14.720
There's issues and Jubilee are dealing with
sentient sentinel. Oh, that's actually

311
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:17.839
referenced in this issue. And Larry
Hammer wrote that one as well. Yeah,

312
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:19.559
and I feel like I read that
one and I remember it also dying

313
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:26.240
in Jubilee being upset. So this
is her set second sentinel sentient death.

314
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.720
So I told you there's the three
stories second sentinal sentient Anyway, I told

315
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.720
you there's the three sentinel stories.
The second one is where they become sentient?

316
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.079
Are they either good or evil?
And this one was good and now

317
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.160
it's lost. The innocence is god. Get do you guys have a favorite

318
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:47.799
sentience sentinel that comes to mind?
No? No, So I feel like

319
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:55.119
there was a girl named Tranary who
could control sentinels or controlary. Trainary didn't

320
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.559
have a sentient sentinel, but she
had a sentinel that she painted rainbows on

321
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:02.480
and like they they cleared out the
middle of the sentinel and put seats in

322
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:04.119
it, and it was their transport
for a while. She named it Sentinel

323
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.279
X. Yes, and it was
like her pet or whatever. Yeah,

324
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.200
and then Forge Forge had Cerebra,
who was a sentient sentinel that was like

325
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.279
fully part of the team for a
while. That's right, Yeah, that's

326
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.000
right. Yeah, so you know
there's a lot of a lot of you

327
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:25.920
know, sentient sentinels. Anyways,
it's dead. Jubilee is sad and like

328
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:33.640
naked. Well, yes, I'm
just like wow running into Wolverine's naked arms.

329
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.720
It's like huge. His arms are
like so big. She's like,

330
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:42.079
please run your arm hair against my
naked body while I cry. Yeah,

331
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.519
oh my gosh. I just have
this, like I don't know, flashes

332
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:52.519
in my head of being married to
Wolverine and having a Sunday morning where he

333
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.000
tickles your face to wake you up
with his arm hair. Gross and it's

334
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.880
supposed to be cute but it's also
gross. Yeah, you don't know how

335
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.640
to take it. And then you
know there's another scene where you know,

336
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.839
I'll be chasing him around the house
with some scissors, going like give it

337
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.079
here, and'll be like no,
it'll just go back with my healing power.

338
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.319
Wolverine and Cable are so grumpy.
Cable's like it was essentiel and Wolverine's

339
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.359
like yeah, but it had feelings
and cables like, I see more people

340
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.720
die than you have. And yes, they're just going back and forth about

341
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.599
trauva stacking. Well they like teams
form around and then it cracks me up.

342
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:32.279
Yes, yeah, well you know, so everybody's getting like questionable about

343
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.079
everybody. So they're all teaming up
on each other. They're all picking on

344
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.039
each other, and Cyclops and Jeane
are like, no, this is not

345
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.200
what the professor would want. Yclobs
puts them in time out. He does,

346
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.799
I'm loving Jean's outfit, by the
way. Oh the unnecessary red belt

347
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.880
that that's on her waist. Yeah, I don't know. I'm getting some

348
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:59.359
and Margaret vibes or something going there. My Roadue could have cut those cut

349
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.000
offs a little hig though. I
know right right, they just started low,

350
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:04.920
but they just, you know,
they just go up and up and

351
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:11.200
up as it threads out. Ridiculous. Looks like Johnny Cage all right,

352
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.559
next page, next page, you
know, rogue. She basically says,

353
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:22.440
no, Xavier wants to stick together, not not pull apart, and Caliban

354
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.880
has the big moment. Calibrin gets
his dumb Hulk moment where he stands up

355
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:32.000
and gives a little speech about like, Caliban is dumb, but also Caliban

356
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.440
thinks maybe Xavier still loves you,
and they're like, oh, Calibin,

357
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:38.640
thank you for bringing us all back
together again. God bless us everyone.

358
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:45.920
It's really good, you know.
But you know, I just forget why

359
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.960
he's so huge. It's an Apocalypse
thing, right, mm hmm. He

360
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.559
got evolved. Yeah, and this
is the era where he's slowly turning dumb,

361
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.240
where he actually got a prominent place
on the X Sports team for a

362
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.640
while before he got called back to
Apocalypse. We basically haven't really seen it

363
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:04.240
much since, except that one time
Forge put his face on the front of

364
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:07.279
his army. I was going to
say what he made when he made clothes

365
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:12.240
out of him? Oh my god. Well, yes, because Caliban.

366
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:18.519
We've covered the first appearance of Caliban
a long time ago. I'm just Larry.

367
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.720
I'm just looking at this picture of
Storm and she's lost her little te

368
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:30.440
boz strings. She thought, I
hate those strings. They're so weird interesting.

369
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.519
Oh yeah, then they forgot to
color in between here. I always

370
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:41.200
yeah, I'm always taking anyway.
Oh, you're seeing all those mistakes.

371
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.200
We get a cute gig where Cannonball, who I love, gets a camera

372
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.920
and starts recording everyone. Uh,
there's that famous famous Cannonball and Iceman like

373
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:53.359
flirt with each other when they're on
the grade and cat your creed campaign together.

374
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.599
So this image of like beast ticks
the camera and the Iceman pours ice

375
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:02.880
directly down cannon shorts better than a
wedgie. I call it a fridgie,

376
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.079
which causes Cannonball to jump into the
sky like what the hell? Uh that's

377
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:12.079
very forward and maybe like borderline someone
called hr right, oh right, exactly,

378
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:18.480
wow, hazing on the ex campus
like down down the butt, like

379
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:23.680
it's well, I love this home
video moment of these pages. So you've

380
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:27.119
cut the camera kind of moves around, so the artist is pretending like they're

381
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:33.119
drawing what the camera sees, and
Cannonball gets the camera back and he turns

382
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:36.079
it on the girls and he's like, oh, the girls, they're sunning

383
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.559
themselves, including his sister. That's
his the blonde is his sister. Yes,

384
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:42.960
yeah, that's kind of gross and
yeah, and she's just like can

385
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:47.680
you not? Can you not?
Because that's cross, like absolutely not.

386
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.839
And then Jubilee gets in his face
and passs the whatever the camcorder out of

387
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:59.920
his hands. Cannon Ball gets knocked
into the pool where Caliban and Shatterstar splash

388
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.839
him everywhere, playing water polo.
It's the whole it's just silly, it's

389
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:08.000
just nonsense interactions with the teammates,
which makes it kind of delightful. Oh

390
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:11.920
my gosh. But like Shatterstar and
Iceman in the pol together, Yeah,

391
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.319
they're playing water polo. Oh my
yeah, And this is real X Men

392
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.599
ninety seven vibe because Joseph, who's
the clone of Magneto, is flirting with

393
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:23.039
Rogue and Magneto and Gambit is not
having it. Oh yeah, he's like

394
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.799
in the shade, he's so shady. Okay, wait a minute, you

395
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.240
know, educate me a little bit. Joseph is the clone of Magneto.

396
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:37.799
Yes, Agnino is currently vegetable,
so to speak. Yes, yes,

397
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.640
because the professor x so somebody I
don't remember who created Joseph, but he's

398
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:47.599
straw. Oh yes. And then
he showed up in Magneto's out and everybody

399
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:49.039
thought it was Magneto for a long
time, but then it turned out he's

400
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:56.079
just the clone and he was last
and then eventually Silock or Cannon or whoever

401
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.319
cut his head off, and then
he showed up recently in the Scarlet Witch

402
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.720
comics by Seberlando. You know,
the whole just a clone thing happens a

403
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:10.799
lot in this universe, it seems. Mm hm. So I'll buy it,

404
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.680
all right. I will say I'm
going to be cosplaying Joseph soon,

405
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.319
so I'm excited about that. Absolutely. Yes. Is it going to be

406
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.559
this look with his purply rogue though, it's gonna be the X Men training

407
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:27.640
uniform, long white wig. It's
gonna be great. I'm excited for this

408
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:37.039
anyways. Yes, a gambit Magneto
slash Joseph Rogue triangle happening, and uh

409
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.200
yeah, and Rogue just you know, she just doesn't know when to quit.

410
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.440
I guess I don't know that pose
she's doing on that chair, you

411
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.519
know what, No, I sit
like this, you do, I do?

412
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.480
You've seen it like that? Yeah, so I met the pool,

413
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:57.200
so I can't say anything, Rogue, I believe you. There's a moment

414
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:01.400
where they have a toast. Here's
to us and those like us and everyone

415
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:07.839
chanced together darn few left, which
is a very odd toast. Yeah.

416
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:13.640
Well is this post House of m
No, this is not. This is

417
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:17.279
post onslaught. Yeah, right after
onslaught. House of them is like six

418
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:21.720
or seven years away, right,
yeah, because there there hasn't been like

419
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.720
the loss of a bunch of mutants. But this might also be the era

420
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.240
where there's not too many of them. They haven't well. Rogue does say,

421
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:35.359
don't we have a ride to be
a scooch tense after all we've been

422
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:40.680
through with onslaught, because Betsy senses
the tension. Yeah, I'm a scooch

423
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:45.839
tense. Sometimes it's okay, we
can all we all have room to be

424
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:52.759
tense. Cyclops is fully burning the
burgers on the grill. Yes, bully

425
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:59.720
full one. Uh who wants their
burgers well done? Oh my god?

426
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:02.440
He such a like I love a
such an old school guy. He's like

427
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:09.079
whatever happened to real charcoal and starter
fluid? We we then get an intense

428
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:15.559
ping pong ball match between some of
the characters. Money is so bored,

429
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:20.200
And look at how Husk is holding
her paddle. Yeah, she's holding it

430
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:23.079
like yeah. I don't know if
that's Japanese style or whatever. There's some

431
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:28.640
sort of special way praying mantis of
some sort. But I do love how

432
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:35.640
I would never want to play ping
pong against Domino like win. I want

433
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:37.920
to be on her team. Yes, I would be on her team for

434
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:43.519
sure. The ball goes bouncing away
and lands in the middle of the potato

435
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:49.000
salad. Oh yes, oh,
but he better not dare hand that ball

436
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:53.799
back to Money like that shatter start
plucks it out. There's this disgusting image

437
00:33:53.839 --> 00:34:00.880
of Cannonball shoving it in his mouth
to suck all the potato, and then

438
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:06.480
he spits it over to Monet,
who's like, a, yeah, I

439
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.719
guess we're kind of missing some precursor, like he likes her, kind of

440
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:13.920
like he's trying to flirt with her
vibe. But yeah, he kind of

441
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:17.039
he kind of lost that that that
Hasey life really came out in that moment.

442
00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:22.719
Sunspot is a rolling on the floor
laughing. Also, nothing says late

443
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.960
nineties like like cannon Ball's terrible goatee, like his little soul patch chin.

444
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:32.480
Oh yeah, and the in the
haircut of course, yes, yes,

445
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:39.159
that that kind of Kurt Cobain haircut. Look middle part. Who wears a

446
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:44.480
middle part? Not me? No
moment you used to. It was the

447
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:50.800
era I used to early nineties bowl
cut, later nineties butt cut, right,

448
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:58.559
Yeah, yeah, it's all about
that, Yes, well, I

449
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:02.840
guess now that they're at the barbecue, Wolverine has put on some clothes and

450
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:10.920
he has decided that he is ready
to apologize to Cable, because you know,

451
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:16.719
they shared some words and they're going
to just basically come to terms man

452
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:24.000
to man that they can disagree to
agree. But apparently Wolverine killed Cable's son,

453
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:34.320
Tyler, who was running the Uh
what the horse dark Dark writers Gables

454
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:38.719
flop son Tyler Dave Spring slash Tolliver
slash Genesis. I fucking hate this guy.

455
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.440
Yeah, he's a forgettable character to
me. I was like, oh,

456
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.960
yes, that's right, son clone
what son? Son of Cable?

457
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:53.239
Who is the clone Joseph? Joseph's
the clone, So this is Cable's sign.

458
00:35:54.039 --> 00:36:00.199
Joseph's the clone of Magneto Stripe is
the clone of Cable. Tyler is

459
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:04.440
the son of Cable's wife Jen Scott, who's named after his parents, who

460
00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:07.960
lives in the future. Oh wait, god, co makes you guice?

461
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:13.320
All right, then what happened?
And then we have X math. Yes,

462
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.719
well, so I guess they cheers
each other some beers and then they're

463
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:24.559
everything's fine. Wolverine killed his son, cheers, It's all good. Uh,

464
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:29.800
they changed the costume so they can
get one big group photo and surprise

465
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:35.400
Gateway shows up just cuz why not. He was hanging out with Generation X

466
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:37.559
at the time. What are your
thoughts on this big double page spread of

467
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:42.800
the teams? They like all the
people flying up in the background. Yes,

468
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:46.159
boom booms in best slap already is
hanging out between cyclops his legs.

469
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:52.280
It's so cute it it looks like
it looks like the cosplay photos, like

470
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:58.559
conventions that we participated. Hmmm.
But let me tell you something this page.

471
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.400
When I was a kid, this
is the kind of page I live

472
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:07.400
for. Yes, because I would
stare at a page like this for hours

473
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.760
just looking at everybody. Mm hmmm, because it's like, you know,

474
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:16.280
everybody's there, remember everybody's name.
It's amazing. If I'm counting right,

475
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:21.360
there's thirty one characters on this stubble. Oh I don't they count. I

476
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:25.480
forgot Wolverine wore that red bandana thing
because with the no nose look hate it.

477
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:29.159
But it was blue I've about for
a long time. Must have been

478
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.679
just red for this period. Oh
my god, Jubilee, did they change

479
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:37.719
her hair again? Yes, they
cut her hair rude. She just got

480
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.400
a quick, quick haired cut in
between the bag. So this is I

481
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.599
think a different artist now, Like
I feel like whoever started the issue now

482
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:50.599
it's flipped over to somebody else.
The storm has her hair flips back.

483
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:53.719
It's fine. Why does Leech look
like a chucky doll? He looks like

484
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:58.320
he's he looks like he's nine inches
tall. Yes, him and Already were

485
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:04.239
always always the size set in the
Generation X issues? Is the guy behind

486
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:08.480
Cyclops? Is that Mondo Mondo and
Chamber? Yeah? Yeah, oh my

487
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:13.760
god, you guys, Okay,
so Jean Gray's she kind of looks like

488
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.840
like she's the bad review of Creepy
Toy Guy, you know. Yeah,

489
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:25.800
guys like Creepy Toy Guy is going
to do an actually with her on her

490
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:35.920
rusted face, yes, her flat
titties. Yeah, that's my best Creepy

491
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:44.480
Toy Guy. Yeah, everybody Instagram
dot com at Creepy Toy Guy the genius.

492
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.760
And Emma is you know, flashing
some leg you know. So it's

493
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:57.440
like she's kind of conservative but canon
nat of course that's very her jacket and

494
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.480
panties, Yeah, jacket and panties
very sensible for Emma, Like I'm called

495
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:06.639
today, I'm conservative. I love
this. I love this mutant circuit.

496
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:09.360
In a couple of pages where we
get Cannonball flying boom boom, Jubilee and

497
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:13.840
sun Spot up into the sky for
a giant fireworks display, it feels very

498
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:17.199
crikola to me. It's super super
cute. Yeah, I don't understand what

499
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:22.800
so is Cannonball holding one, no, sun Spots holding both and cannonballs just

500
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:27.320
there for support. I mean,
Sunspot's the only one that can fly besides

501
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.679
Cannonball. Maybe Cannibal's just helping lift
them up there, or like, I

502
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:34.760
don't know, he's got he's got
a he's not not vulnerable when he's blasting.

503
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:37.119
I know. I just felt he's
a little unnecessary. He was like,

504
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:38.480
I want to I'm not gonna get
hurt, so I'm going to go

505
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:42.039
up there too, where sun Spot, the actual strong one I think,

506
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.239
is carrying the girls up there.
But I just was like, what's his

507
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:51.199
purpose exactly? I feel like Sunspot
just barely learned how to fly to right,

508
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:55.920
That's true, it's it's it's it's
new. Well, so we've had

509
00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.800
the baseball, we've had the pool
party, we've had the bar we've had

510
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.239
the fireworks, and now it's time
to meditate. Yes, you know what

511
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.440
this is. This issue is a
hell fire gala issue. It's just a

512
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:09.599
little more private. They're doing a
mine beld now, like it's a whole

513
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:13.960
gala. Oh my god, you
know what. You're right, Yes,

514
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:17.960
you're right. They all hold hands
and all the mutants in Whovill gather together

515
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.239
and sing dahou dore and like make
a little uni mind. It's cute.

516
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:25.639
It is cute. I love how
they're like, don't go too deep in

517
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:36.840
my mind, don't scroll left and
don't scroll right. But this is I

518
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:39.000
mean, this is how they defeated
the dominion at the end of Krakoa,

519
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:43.440
right, like all the mutants merged
and made the Phoenix sports. Here they

520
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.599
are like projecting their minds together.
It's it's cute. I love this.

521
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:51.159
Yes, I like it too.
And then then you know, it's the

522
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:54.719
end of the day. After all
that activity, they decide that they're going

523
00:40:54.760 --> 00:41:00.000
back into the mansion, which is
surprisingly in one piece. It's not blown

524
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:07.039
not y'all played baseball, murdered a
sentinel and then had a barbecue and like

525
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:12.599
a little party. Yeah, it's
a mindful meditation. That's great. I

526
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:16.679
loved it. This is a cute
palette cleanser, like lovely little issue.

527
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:22.039
I'm actually very fond of it,
despite some of the art inconsistencies. Yeah,

528
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:23.920
no, it was really fun.
Thank you so much for bringing that

529
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:29.800
over to us, and it was
a joy to recap. Yes, indeed,

530
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.519
did you guys have a single favorite
moment? Oh gosh, I would

531
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:42.280
have to say anytime it's Gambit playing
sports shirtless I'm in so I was just

532
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.320
like, oh, we get to
see this again. I love it.

533
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:51.039
I love the creativity of the camquarder
of the home video. I thought that

534
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:55.840
was really well done and fun,
and the way that the focus moved wherever

535
00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:00.360
the camera was moving and what character
was holding it and stuff just was I

536
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.239
almost wish there was more of that
than just like the two or three pages.

537
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:07.800
I like that everybody got like a
little moment. I love the Mutants

538
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:13.320
circuit, but the weirdest is just
Bobby dumping ice down Sam's pants like I

539
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:21.079
can't get fast It awesome. Well, that was a blast. We really

with your Sentinel era? I mean yeah,

594
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:43.360
the ambition of House how Fire,
the leadership of Hou Savior, or the

595
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:47.320
ingenuity of House Pride. This quiz

00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:51.760

597
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:54.199
your new home. All right,
we are both going to be taking this

598
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:59.920
quiz on separate devices and see which
houses that we get sorted into. Okay,

599
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.760
first question up, who will be
your dorm mate at Xavier Institute.

600
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.320
Choosing your dorm roommate is crucial.
Think about the unique personalities of your peers

601
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:12.679
and pick the one who will lead
your confidant. Who will be your confidant

602
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.719
and ally This choice will shape your
daily life and adventures, forging strong bonds

603
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:22.880
as you grow into your mutant potential. Okay, our options are cheerleader,

604
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:29.480
outcast, gamer, nerd, rebel, academic, fashionista, class clown,

605
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:35.280
and goth. So if I'm going
to pick somebody to be my roommate that

606
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.360
I think is going to help me
at Xavier's, is I'm going to go

607
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:43.440
with somebody who is not exactly like
me, but you know, somebody that

608
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:46.440
might help me out. So I'm
going to go with fashionista, so she

609
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:50.679
appress me. My god. If
I was going to go with the gamer

610
00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:52.039
nerd, but if you're going to
go with that logic, which I kind

611
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:54.840
of like, I'm going to switch
it up a little bit. I'm going

612
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:59.039
to say the academic. Oh yeah, so you know, because your roommate's

613
00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:00.880
gonna be your palth, They're gonna, you know, and I'm gonna I

614
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:07.519
want to, you know, copy
off of our reports and exams. Indeed,

615
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:14.360
all right, next, which pet
will accompany you at the institute At

616
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:20.880
Xavier's, your mutabilities enhance your connection
with animals. These loyal companions will be

617
00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:24.480
vital to your journey, offering support
and friendship every step of the way.

618
00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:32.480
Options are unicorn ponies, scorpion,
alien, dragon, ai, robodog,

619
00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:42.159
shark, peacock, golden retriever,
and carnivorous plant I am going to too

620
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:49.519
an Ai robodog. I know that's
not a real pet, but I feel

621
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:52.599
like I would love a robot familiar
like they have in Star Wars, So

622
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:57.800
I'm gonna go with that. How
could I not go with the unicorn pony?

623
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:01.440
That's true? True? You know, all like how cute? All

624
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:06.039
right? Next up? How would
you make new friends at Xavier Institute?

625
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:09.079
Select your favorite technique to connect with
your fellow mutants. All right. You

626
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:14.079
can either show off your new car, watch, or cell phone. You

627
00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:20.079
can organize a thrilling sports event and
invite everyone to join. You use emotional

628
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:24.840
and logical manipulation to force a bond. You bond with others by exploring the

629
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:30.159
hidden areas of the school. You
impress others with your knowledge and innovative ideas.

630
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:37.000
You share your journey of overcoming adversity, inspire others. You start a

631
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:44.239
long, thought provoking conversation about mutant
philosophy. Lastly, you volunteer to help

632
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:50.039
others with their studies and projects.
So how are we going to make friends?

633
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:53.400
Hmm? Because there's a lot of
things that I like to do.

634
00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:59.840
I'm actually quite good at making friends, so I'm not a no at all.

635
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.119
So I'm not going to impress with
my knowledge. I'm not a provoking

636
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:15.679
conversationalist, I'm not a manipulator.
I'm going to volunteer to help people with

637
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:20.599
their studies because I feel like that's
the person that's how I would make friends.

638
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:23.280
You know, It's so funny for
me, I like think about like,

639
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:27.320
oh, what would you do?
But then what do I actually do?

640
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:30.519
And it's like every time I leave
the house, it's because I'm organizing

641
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:35.960
the event that we're going to.
So the parallel answer for me would be

642
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:39.760
you organize serlingk sports events and invite
everyone to join you. Done? Done?

643
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:45.400
Which school team sport would you join? Well, there is a range

644
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:50.480
of exciting team sports to channel your
mutant abilities and build camaraderie. Choose the

645
00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:54.719
sport that resonates with you and envision
yourself showcasing your skills in the arena.

646
00:50:55.079 --> 00:51:01.360
Hmmm. Our options are show choir, bol, varsity football, esports,

647
00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:07.199
cyber defense, lacrosse, hockey,
and debate. Oh this is a tough

648
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:14.000
one. No it's not show choir. I'm going esports. What's your ideal

649
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:20.920
sanctuary? Your ideal environment plays a
significant role in shaping your abilities and overall

650
00:51:20.960 --> 00:51:25.599
well being. Deeply contemplate each setting
and choose the location that resonates with your

651
00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:32.440
soul. Options are cave, concert
hall, gym, penthouse, park,

652
00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:39.039
laboratory, library, and city.
I'm gonna go with the penthouse. I

653
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:42.679
want to see the view. Oh
that's a good joy. You know.

654
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:47.280
If I can open the window just
to get like some breeze, that'd be

655
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:53.480
hot. I'm gonna choose the park. The park, the park with people.

656
00:51:53.880 --> 00:52:00.400
Yes, being outside in nature,
that's gonna be my epicenter of whatever

657
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:06.000
feeling up for the challenges of skew
Okay, how do you respond to a

658
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:12.800
school bullied eeskew bully? Yes?
Imagine you're walking down the hallway at Xavier

659
00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:16.800
Institute when you come across a fellow
student being bullied. What do you do?

660
00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:22.960
You confront the bully head on with
a commanding presence, making them back

661
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:29.159
down immediately. You utilize psychological tactics, subtly manipulating the bully to leave the

662
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:34.599
victim alone. You reveal your own
struggles and show empathy, creating an emotional

663
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:38.199
connection that diffuses the situation. You
engage the bully in a logical debate,

664
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:44.679
making them realize the futility of their
action. You use your agility in street

665
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:49.920
smarts to outmaneuver the bully, protecting
the victim. You use your social influence

666
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.840
and charm to publicly shame the bully, deterring future incidents. You approach calmly,

667
00:52:55.119 --> 00:53:00.599
diffusing the tension and mediating a peaceful
resolution. Devise a clever plan that

668
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:06.079
outsmarts the bully, leaving them no
choice but to retreat. All right,

669
00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:10.119
already know what I'm choosing. I
Am going to use my social influence and

670
00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:15.400
charm to embarrass the bully. Oh
my god, you what you're so what?

671
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:20.719
Because I realized in my role of
publicity is that I'll know all the

672
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:23.360
deeds on this person, yeah,
and their family and everything, and I'll

673
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:28.239
be like, talk about that time, bully, And you'll be like,

674
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:35.599
no, I'm just integrated. What's
yours? Minus you reveal your own struggles

675
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:38.320
and show empathy, greeting and emotional
connection. That diffuses the choice. I

676
00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:43.960
got it until they punch. You. See, We're all human, okay,

677
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:45.960
we all have our own like struggles
and stuff. And if we can

678
00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:54.039
connect and real life both okay,

plant daddy, and I want to
connect with my plant people. Seriously,

686
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:35.360
Yes for me. I picked drama
club because, like you know, I

687
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:38.000
did drama in high school and that's
where I belonged. So did I?

688
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:45.079
Okay? How will you find the
missing Mutant? A fellow mutant student has

689
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:50.239
mysteriously gone missing, and it's up
to you to solve the mystery and ensure

690
00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:55.119
their safe return. How will you
use your skills and resources to track them

691
00:54:55.159 --> 00:55:00.559
down and bring them back to safety. You analyze and patterns, creating a

692
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:06.039
detailed map to predict where the student
might be. You collaborate with the school

693
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:10.039
staff and students to gather information in
piece together clues. You explore the hidden

694
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:14.480
areas of the school, believing the
student might be in a secluded spot.

695
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:21.800
You use technology and gadgets to scan
any unusual activity and track the student's last

696
00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:27.280
known location. You conduct a thorough
investigation, using your connections and resources to

697
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:34.280
uncover hidden information. You interrogate potential
witnesses using your charm and influence to get

698
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:37.559
the truth. You use your keen
sense and intuition and to track down any

699
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:43.960
signs of the missing student. You
organize a coordinated search party that and lead

700
00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:49.639
the effort to cover every part of
the campus. Okay, I am going

701
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:59.119
to well, I'll tell you what
I'm going to do. I Am going

702
00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:04.239
to organizeer coordinated search party and lead
the effort to uncover every part of the

703
00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:08.840
campus. Why Because I like organizing
people and getting people together. Yes,

704
00:56:09.880 --> 00:56:14.960
I'm I'm between. I explore the
hidden areas of the school because I'm a

705
00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:17.280
I'm a doer, So I feel
like I would just jut out on myself

706
00:56:17.320 --> 00:56:22.199
and do it. But I also
could see myself using my connections and resources

707
00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:25.960
to uncover hidden information. So I'm
going to go with that one. Okay,
