It just keeps getting 18 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:52.239 bigger and better. We went from just being little nerds like looking over our 19 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.799 nostalgic comics saying like, oh, man, who need to be cool? 20 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.120 If we had like Chris Claremont on the show. You know he's the writer, 21 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.799 it would be so epic, like manifest and then like wow. Ever 22 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:14.080 since then, we've had legends, titans of the X universe that we've had 23 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.280 conversations with and got to geek out on what their favorite issues of X Men 24 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.199 were.

It is 30 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:57.199 an immersive fan convention.

It is the X Jet with Storm in it for X Men ninety 195 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.600 seven, the brand new toy that just got released out into the world for 196 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.120 all of our eyes to look at. Holy moly, I have chills. 197 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.720 This is so cool. Oh my gosh, this is so cool you guys. 198 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.399 First of all, Mohawks Storm, yes, which I've never seen a 199 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.600 toy version of her in her nineties look with the mohawk. This is very 200 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.519 obviously X Men ninety seven and you know, driven because of the upcoming animated 201 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:50.240 series coming out. But holy crap, she looks fierce. I am so 202 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.879 excited. And you know what, this x Jet is one of those toys 203 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.960 that shoots projectiles, which I that was my favorite type of toy when it 204 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.360 came to vehicles back in the day, Like do you remember the teenage meetsche 205 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:11.480 Ninja turtle van that shot little Pizza? Yes, oh my gosh, how 206 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.240 cool was that? Yes, well, you know, this ex Jet also 207 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.720 fires projectiles. But that's not all, you guys. My favorite part of 208 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.720 this is the fact that you might as well do a music video of Storm 209 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.919 writing on the back of this Xjet because there is a little stand for her 210 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:37.200 to stand and hold on to as the Xjet is flying through the air in 211 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.480 your hands and she's shooting lightning bolts. You guys, Oh my gosh. 212 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.720 And not only that, it has a like drop down grappling hook. It's 213 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:52.000 called the Hero swing trapeze, and that is so exciting because yeah, you 214 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.720 get to attach your hero You're flying Hero to the back of the Xjet and 215 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.600 as you zoom it around with your hand to get to fly behind. Oh 216 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:06.359 my gosh, this is so cool. It's like my childhood on steroids. 217 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:12.920 You guys, amazing. Well add decart, I'm ready for it. What 218 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.279 else happened in the news. There's a lot of X Men stuff coming up 219 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:22.319 that has just been permeating in pop culture and popping up everywhere. Yeah, 220 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.400 well, I mean there's an actor named Hugh Jackman. Oh him, he 221 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.559 has a boy from the Boy. Yes, he's known for being the boy 222 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:37.839 from Oz Van Helsing, very famous for being Van Helsing and the other movie 223 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.960 with halle Berry. He was in Swordfish, so like Oscar nominated performance in 224 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.359 Swordfish. No, he's in a little movie called Deadpool three, and we 225 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:53.240 got a reveal of him and Ryan Reynolds together and guess what he's wearing yellow 226 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:59.759 and blow what Oh my god, it's the comic book accurate version of wol. 227 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:06.440 This is the service that all fans have been wanting and yearning for ten 228 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.920 movies later. We got it, you guys, we got it. Even 229 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.640 if it has sleeves, I'll take the sleeves. I'll take it. And 230 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.160 sidebar. I know I told this story way back in the beginning on the 231 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.000 pod about Hugh Jackman and my love for him. I know that you love 232 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.240 him too, I mean your big, huge crush. But for me in 233 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:33.519 high school, I'm in college, I you know, was doing the acting 234 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:38.799 thing, and the college newspaper did like an interview on me, and one 235 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.200 of the questions was is like, you know, which actor do you look 236 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:48.440 up to, like which career would you aspire to have? And I was 237 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:53.240 like, huge Jackman. It was like at the time, like my, 238 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:59.599 uh, the epitome of Assa with all the projects that he has tackled over 239 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.799 the year. Yeah, and you know what, there are many Batmans, 240 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.880 but there's only one on screen, Wolverine. That's true. Oh my gosh, 241 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:15.359 Well, that is so exciting that Deadpool three is going to feature him 242 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.839 in a big way. We already knew that he was coming back for it, 243 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.319 but we didn't know what he would be wearing, and so we got 244 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.759 lots and lots and lots of set photos of him and Ryan Reynolds duking it 245 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.400 out in a kind of a fight scene and it's inspired cosplay already art of 246 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.359 course, and I'm so excited. Now the question remains, will we get 247 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:41.720 the Wolverine Helmet. You know, for the amount of servicing that this movie 248 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.920 is going to do for fans, I believe that anything is possible. Yes, 249 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.039 I agree, and I feel like if we're already full suited up, 250 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:55.079 it's time for helmet. Yes, I mean, like what else could there 251 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.799 be? You know, it would be so cool, like what if they 252 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:03.559 brought back Jennifer Gardner as Electra, Well, guess what they are? What 253 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.319 every gay squealed when they heard this news. I actually had so many people 254 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.480 share it direct with me saying that they were so excited about this news. 255 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.279 And I have a confession. I've never seen the Electro movie or the Ben 256 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.920 Affleck Daredevil movie. It's okay, I have no concept of it. So 257 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.160 like to be excited, trust me, like you're you're forgive and trust it's 258 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.279 okay. Well, by the way everyone was reacting, it's like, clearly 259 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.880 I've missed out. Clearly like this was the best thing that ever came out, 260 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.759 So I need to go back and watch it. Apparently it did. 261 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.440 It become a cult classic? Is it one of those movies that it like 262 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.000 everybody was like at the time, but then over time people look back on 263 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.039 it and was like, Oh, that was actually you. Yeah, I 264 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:48.759 don't know. Yeah, I guess so, Oh my gosh, okay, 265 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.599 I take it back. I gotta go rewatch it now. I got to 266 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.680 look at it through fresh eyes. You're a little refresher. And you know 267 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:03.079 Jennifer Gardner alias Hello Love going on thirty or whatever, thirteen going on thirty. 268 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:06.640 I mean, favorite movie of Jennifer Garner's is thirteen going on thirty. 269 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:11.000 Oh my god, I loved it. Yeah. Unfortunately, though, I 270 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.599 don't think we're going to see this movie for a long time, maybe even 271 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.759 a very long time, because something is going on in the world, you 272 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:25.200 guys. And Deadpool three has stopped filming because the SAG after strike has got 273 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.559 underway. They have joined the writers Guild and everybody's on the picket lines. 274 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:37.079 Yeah, it's a little scary being an employee of the entertainment industry because you 275 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.160 know, we live and thrive off of making movies, TV and video games, 276 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.160 and with all of the stuff going on, it has caused a big 277 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.680 wrench in our lives. And you know, just from a personal perspective, 278 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:55.319 it affects me because you know, it cuts down on our projects that we 279 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.640 work on and therefore money coming in to pay employees. It's like, you 280 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.200 know, it's it's not a good thing for the larger industry. But I 281 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.920 understand and support the strike because a lot of stuff needs to be worked out, 282 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:12.680 even with the conventions like San Dieo with comic Con. This all just 283 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.960 happened right before Sandieo Comic Con, where all the studios send all their actors 284 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.400 to promote the shows and the movies, and wow, they all pulled out 285 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.799 and all of a sudden, a lot of hotel rooms became available. Yes, 286 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.359 indeed, and you know, I go to the Toronto Film Festival every 287 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:32.440 year, and this might be the first year that I don't go, because 288 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.119 it's very likely, you know, no movie star is going to walk a 289 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.440 red carpet in September if the strike is still going on. So there's a 290 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:44.359 good chance that after twelve years of going to Toronto, I might not be 291 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.200 going. Wow. You know, it's crazy to think how every everything shuts 292 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.160 down, not just Hollywood, California, but you know worldwide. It effects 293 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.319 everything. You know, the cast of Oppenheimer were in the middle of a 294 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.559 press junket in London and then the orders came down about right and they just 295 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.839 got up and left the mid question, We're just like and we're done. 296 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:10.480 Well, that's a very powerful statement. Okay, did you see that Black 297 00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:15.640 of Mirror episode of Jonah's Awful? I haven't no what is it? Oh 298 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.759 my gosh. Okay, So it stars Selmahayak, and I really don't want 299 00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.720 to talk too much about it because I don't want to give it away. 300 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:30.880 I really think that it's probably one of the most ironically shocking episodes of television 301 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.720 in our current modern day history. Right now. I recommend everybody watching because 302 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:40.160 you do a double take and you realize, Wow, the crazy stuff that 303 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:45.279 they are portraying in this episode is actually happening. And anybody has made the 304 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.480 joke of like, what is this a block of mirror episode? It's never 305 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:55.960 you know, for a good reason. Oh my gosh. Another thing about 306 00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.240 the strike which I read about, which was really fascinating, is the the 307 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.119 studios of the producer end of it. They want the ability to scan background 308 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:10.480 actors, pay them for one day's work and then own their likeness forever, 309 00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:14.279 to digitally insert them into whatever project that they're producing, and then never pay 310 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.160 them again. And this is another reason why the actors and SAG after are 311 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:26.519 striking because no, absolutely not. I'm not going to as a not that 312 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.839 I'm a SAG member, but I would never agree to just let my likeness 313 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.200 be scanned and used in perpetuity and just be paid a one time feed, 314 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:38.920 you know what. I just have to say, Because in my youth I 315 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.720 was in college, and all through college I did background work on high school 316 00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:51.279 shows, especially this one program called Boston Public, which was about a school. 317 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:53.599 And you think about it, is when you're on a set, you 318 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.440 know, consistently like that, especially with high school, it becomes like a 319 00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.759 family, you know, and that's where you meet your money, and you 320 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:06.079 really helped bring a vibe and creativity and collaboration, even if you're the background 321 00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:11.440 actor in the background walking past doing your thing, like the part of magic. 322 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:18.359 And to think that if that were today, I would have walked into 323 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:22.799 the studio, they would have scanned my face, I would have done whatever 324 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:27.559 they needed me to do for that day, and then I would never see 325 00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:33.680 them again. Yeah, that whole experience, that whole wonderful, enriching life 326 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:38.279 experience with all those people in creating art gone. Yeah, I did a 327 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.839 lot of background acting when I first moved to Los Angeles. It's actually where 328 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:45.880 I met our friend Jenny, who has also been on the show in the 329 00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:53.000 past twice. Yeah, So we were on the pilot of Ghost Whisperer and 330 00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:57.720 Jennifer love Hewitt was getting married in the first episode, I guess, and 331 00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:00.599 we were wedding guests and we sat at the table and we got to meet 332 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.200 and I made a lifelong friend out of it. So but yeah, background 333 00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:11.279 acting is something that I don't think should be taken away, Like it's you 334 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:17.480 are contributing to the overall vibe of it. Could you imagine being on the 335 00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:21.559 opposite end where you are one of the top line name actors and you have 336 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:25.440 to address a classroom of people and there's no one in it because they're going 337 00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:30.240 to digitally insert everybody later, or like you have to do all that kind 338 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.720 of stuff and it's just all fake. And you know, I feel like 339 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.839 when you are doing background it helps the other side of the acting coin, 340 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.400 of the top line people to react off of people and feel the energy of 341 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:48.039 people running in a crowd scene or walking in the class room or whatever hallways. 342 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.160 I've done so much different background work. It's so funny to think of 343 00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:55.359 it all, I've definitely done running down the street because you're being chased by 344 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:57.559 something or there's a bomb that went off and you're running, and I've yeah, 345 00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:03.119 I've done a lot of walk buy in hallways. Anyways, there's all 346 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.119 sorts of background stuff that I've done, So yes, I totally to support 347 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:12.759 the not allowing to scan background actors. And by golly bless Frandre Escher, 348 00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:18.640 who portrayed the nanny in that popular sitcom that we all know and love. 349 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.880 She is now the voice of the labor movement. She came out swinging and 350 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:30.559 she seems like a superhero right now. Absolutely, And just this quick side 351 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.680 note in case anybody's wondering. While you do hear about actors pulling out of 352 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:38.119 Sandeo comic Con, events like ours, like the uncan experience are not affected 353 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.839 by the strike rules, So the actors that we have coming to the event 354 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:47.079 are all still coming. So just to put a little asterix on that. 355 00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.200 All right, you know what, we're here to talk about the X Men. 356 00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:55.799 Indeed, I have a surprise for you, Chandler, because this week 357 00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.599 I know you were busy prepping for San Diego Comic Coon. Because you're doing 358 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.960 a million panels and a million events and go into the Hellifire Galla party. 359 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:11.799 I decided to choose a special comic book today to cover, and it is 360 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:18.119 because of the Wolverine in the Deadpool movie news. I wanted to, you 361 00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.680 know, pay homage to that, so I searched the archive and I found 362 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:27.039 a really cute story that I think you all will enjoy. Yeah, thank 363 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:33.599 you for picking this. And the book is called Wolverine Deadpool the Decoy Ooh 364 00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:41.519 intriguing. Let's set the era. This was back in September of two thousand 365 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:48.599 and eleven. The top song of September twenty eleven was Britney Spears. I 366 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:56.440 want to go from them fatal, I wanna go go go all the wait 367 00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:03.119 wait wait Oh I love it. Oh my gosh, that brings back so 368 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.680 many memories. Wow. Yeah, you know, I had a lot of 369 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:12.359 nostalgia for Britney Spears lately, and I actually mentioned this to you, Chandler, 370 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:18.119 like, if we magically get to Broadway somehow, they have a new 371 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:23.680 musical that features all Britney Spears music and it's a fairytale. Oh my gosh, 372 00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:27.279 yes, I've heard, I've heard it's it's called Once upon a Time 373 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.640 One more time, you know, like hit me baby one more time? 374 00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.039 Right, oh right, yes, exactly, Oh my god. And I 375 00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:37.599 heard that it's actually endorsed by Britney Spears. She didn't completely, you know, 376 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:42.720 write it, but she yeah, it's all enjoyed it. Yeah. 377 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:45.960 She was like, all right, you guys, cool, More power to 378 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.759 you. The top movie, Chandler. Oh my gosh, I can't believe 379 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.599 this was the top movie. I was. I had to do a double 380 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.920 take, and I forgot that this even happened. But The Lion King, 381 00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:02.640 the Lion King itself came back into theaters into the eleven of September in three 382 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.359 D. Yes, I do remember this. I remember vividly when it was 383 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.839 coming back out because everybody loved the film, so they were rushing to the 384 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.240 theaters to see it again. Yes, And just some little tidbits about that. 385 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.480 It was the first reissue released to earn the number one slot at the 386 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:23.359 American weekend box office since the reissue of Return of the Jedi, which was 387 00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:29.839 back in nineteen ninety seven. MM, so you know, it was the 388 00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:36.400 fourth highest September opening weekend of all time. Amazing, amazing, Circle of 389 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:42.279 Life. Yes, oh, I just can't wait to be king JTT remembered 390 00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:52.039 Jonathan. Yes, let's get into this issue. We're doing Wolverine and Deadpool 391 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.680 the Decoy. The writer is Stuart Moore, the art is by Sean Crystal, 392 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:02.160 the cover is by the incredible Scotty Young, and the issue is titled 393 00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:07.839 The Decoy. Of course, not the cover. We have a really cute 394 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.160 kind of cover, I will say it is. It is a little minimalist, 395 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.160 but it definitely stands out. We have wolver in the background holding his 396 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:22.599 head with that kind of like angry, grumpy sigh. But in the foreground 397 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:30.200 we have a glorious Deadpool who is doing the Phoenix drag the Phoenix in the 398 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:37.200 green costume, and Deadpool is looking sassy and fierce. I love it absolutely, 399 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:42.440 It's just just super cute. I love the pose. And yeah, 400 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.519 I'm a I'm a big fan of Scott A. Young art, so this 401 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:47.640 was really cute. This is kind of early Scott Young. I feel like 402 00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:52.319 he's really honed in his style since then. But big fan. I'm kind 403 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:59.079 of curious though, as to Wolverine's expression. I don't think Wolverine would ever 404 00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.400 be upset at sea somebody in drag. I think he's just upset that he 405 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:06.000 has to deal with Wade Wilson, and he's like, not this guy. 406 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.839 Also, not this guy doing dragon the woman that I was in love with. 407 00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:19.000 Okay, so let's get into it. On the inside, there is 408 00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:24.920 chaos, there's explosions behind the desert, probably a mesa of some sort. 409 00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:32.839 And is this place called dry More? Dry Mouth? Dry Mouth? It's 410 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:37.279 very dusty, it's very western town. It's at ten thirty six am, 411 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:42.920 and the Stalker fell to earth. The stalker, we find out, is 412 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:51.119 actually a robot because from are yes, we see that his footprints going all 413 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:54.440 the way through the town ominously, and there's dogs that are, you know, 414 00:32:54.799 --> 00:33:00.640 starving, barking at dead bodies. That dead body was obviously just shot 415 00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:04.640 because there's a lot of steam coming off of his chest. Yes. In 416 00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:08.799 fact, the population of dry Mouth was fourteen plus a few dogs. Now 417 00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:15.559 the population is zero and just dogs. So at least this robot does not 418 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:21.079 offer cruelty towards animals, so we will give him a little bit of points, 419 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:24.880 just a little Yeah. We turned to the next page, and then 420 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:30.799 we get to see this what this robot looks like glob Herman. Oh my 421 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:36.759 gosh, you're right, that is totally glob herded with extra added mechanicals. 422 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.599 Yes, robo glob Herman. When he does his Transformer move, he turns 423 00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:46.119 into this robot. This robot is fighting Wolverine, but Wolverine cannot get a 424 00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:52.240 slice in. He tries and tries, but the robot has this short range 425 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.839 teleportation ability, so he gets to become intangible teleport and Wolverine cannot get his 426 00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:01.519 claws into this machine. Kind of like the Vision, Yes, exactly like 427 00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:05.559 the Vision in a way. Duh. You know what's kind of grosses his 428 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.840 like battery packs on his back. They kind of look like there's syringes, 429 00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:15.960 you know, that are injecting him with fuel like bane from Batman. What 430 00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:20.079 an ominous robot. I do not want to go up against this guy, 431 00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:24.159 No, not at all. So Wolverine, he's trying his best, He's 432 00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:28.519 trying his darnedest, but he just can't get his claws into him. So 433 00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.599 the robot keeps zapping him, he keeps smoking. Is not working out, 434 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:38.079 and we learned that the robot's visual capacity is damaged, so it is trying 435 00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:45.360 to find its target and terminate it, and of course we learn through the 436 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:52.880 process that it is looking for Jane Gray. And I love, I love 437 00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:58.199 the moment that, you know, after Wolverine is totally blasted and his skin 438 00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.519 is falling off, and he's just and there going like, well, oh 439 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.840 my god, I just got blasted him how to die? His body is 440 00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.760 steaming and trying to heal, and he's thinking to himself. And while he's 441 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.119 doing that, we see in the background in the clouds the vision in his 442 00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:15.719 head, which is a gorgeous pin up looking version of Jean Gray, who 443 00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:21.480 never posed like the s phoenix, like never, but no never his memory, 444 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:28.480 he remembers Jean just like this. She looks like a bombshell she does. 445 00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:32.400 The robot has left Wolverine for dead with an eighty six probability that he 446 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:37.719 will die, so he was eighty six percent towards death. But as we 447 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.400 know, Wolverine just needs that one percent in order to regenerate himself, so 448 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:47.119 he tricks the robot sensors. It walks off into the distance towards Albuquerque. 449 00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:51.360 You know, it's one thing to take out a town of fourteen people, 450 00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:55.599 but to go to a fully populated capital of a state it's going to be 451 00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.400 an issue. So Wolverine's like, I gotta stop this guy. He only 452 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.880 will stop for Jean Gray, and we need somebody who can take a lot 453 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.239 of damage. And then I love how the camera gets closer on his face 454 00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:12.960 and zooms in right into his eyes, and he's like, who's crazy enough 455 00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:19.159 stupid enough for that job? Well, I'll tell you because on the next 456 00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:25.480 page my favorite splash page shot of Deadpool in the showers singing if you liked 457 00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:30.000 it, then he showed to put a ring on it. That must have 458 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:32.719 been the hit song of that. I got to look up when that came 459 00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:37.519 on. So Beyonce put a ring on it? Oh two thousand and eight. 460 00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.000 Wow, So we had a few years of this becoming a hit. 461 00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:45.920 There is a lot going on in this shot. Obviously we do not see 462 00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:51.400 Deadpools private parts because they are covered by bubbles. But in his hand he 463 00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:55.719 has a very large scrubbing brush just to reach every nook and granny. I'm 464 00:36:55.719 --> 00:37:00.679 assuming yes, And if you're wondering what his style of fashion is like for 465 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:07.320 bathroom curtains, it's yellow and balloons. Yes, indeed, I noticed that 466 00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:13.599 myself. Ooh, But then we get a close up shot of his eyes 467 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:19.199 because he senses somebody right outside the shower curtain and he leaps out and he 468 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.400 says, so logan Wolverine a weapon letter X or is it number ten? 469 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:29.440 You have returned to resume our endless battle? Yes, Wolverine says, whoa 470 00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:34.280 whoa psycho boy? What endless battle? We don't have an endless battle? 471 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:40.440 Nope? Oh, you want a towel. And at this point Wolverine is 472 00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:45.840 just kind of like trying to avert his eyes, you know, for modesty, 473 00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:52.320 and he covers up for our eyes with his hand Deadpool's posterior. Yes, 474 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.960 and he and Deadpool's looking into the mirror. He says he probably sucked 475 00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:00.800 the life out of a room, you know that. Oh, and then 476 00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.960 we get a more look at this apartment which looks kind of nasty or is 477 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.119 it a condor house? I can't remember either way. There's abode and yeah, 478 00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:13.079 he's got a gross couch is falling apart, there's a spring coming out 479 00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:17.519 of it, bullet holes, there's knives in the wall, cracked a lamp 480 00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:27.239 m and what's that gross towel? Like? If there's a towel like on 481 00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:31.159 the couch and I don't want to sit on it. I don't want to 482 00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:35.199 sit near it. I don't want to sit there in the couch if that 483 00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:42.000 towel is there? Right? So what does what does Breed say Wolverine? 484 00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:45.480 He says, I probably don't want to know this, but why were you 485 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:49.920 wearing your mask in this shower? Didn't want to get my hair wet. 486 00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:52.320 I'm stepping out tonight. Listen, Wilson. It's like I said, I 487 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:57.159 need some backup against this big alien robot. It's hunting an old friend of 488 00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.920 mine. She are marked here for death, and why back? But she's 489 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:06.039 already dead? So are you sure you don't want a towel? And Wolverine 490 00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:09.719 is like handing him the toweling question that was on the couch he touched it. 491 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:13.360 At least he has a glove right, true, true, and a 492 00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:16.320 healing factor yes. And Deadpool is just all naked, spready goal on the 493 00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:20.039 couch right there, and he says, big alien robot, how do you 494 00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:24.119 find me? Anyway? Xavier gave me this sher locator device. It's got 495 00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:29.880 a cerebro setting and you pop right up on it. My luck, you 496 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:35.199 just bought a ranch house in Arizona. Deadpool like jumps up off the couch. 497 00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:37.159 Hell yeah, there's a housing boom. You know, I'm gonna trash 498 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:42.239 this baby, then flip her I'll make a fortune. Yeah. Well, 499 00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.960 anyways, right after I use this locator to find the robot, I robot. 500 00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.760 There's a robot. And then Wolverine covers his face. He faced palms. 501 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:54.480 Look, the X men don't usually work this way, but I might 502 00:39:54.519 --> 00:40:00.559 be able to arrange for a one time payment. He'd be famous. It's 503 00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:05.480 for the good of humanity that, you know, Wolverine things. I don't 504 00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:10.159 even think that one got through. But then Deadpool the lightning bolt idea waves 505 00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:14.800 or coming out of his brain, and he says, look, Wolvee logan, 506 00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:17.400 my brother. Let's just suppose I did agree to help you, would 507 00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:23.360 it you know, hurt? Well not so, I mean, yeah, 508 00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:30.920 it hurt a lot. I amen. Yeah, great, guess you ain't 509 00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:35.679 going out tonight after all? Huh, Sure I am with you. And 510 00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:39.440 then he plants a big, wet one right on Wolverine's cheek with a big 511 00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:44.679 heart and a smack. Yes, I love. This sums up their relationship 512 00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:52.239 perfectly. So now they are going on the mission. They are in a 513 00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:58.360 helicopter. They jump out of the helicopter to attack the robot as it approaches 514 00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:04.280 Albuquerque, and course Deadpool jumps out right away because he's like insane. Wolvern's 515 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.199 like, okay, well I'm right behind you. So yeah, the Deadpool 516 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:12.559 is distracting the robot, getting a full on beam attack, and he's like 517 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:16.239 oh yeah, and Wolverine is trying to get his claws in him, but 518 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:22.000 he gets one little slice and then the robot teleports again because it is wasting 519 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:25.519 its time. It does not need to attack Deadpool. It needs to find 520 00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:34.360 its target. Jean Gray identified current target, primary target, and then Waite 521 00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:38.840 is just like oh yeah, and he is just getting full on blast it 522 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:45.119 as if it was Cyclops deciding to lift his shades up and let it loose 523 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.239 all up on him. And he's just bathing, bathing in that pain, 524 00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:55.199 bathing in that laser beam, and he's totally fried. Yes, And so 525 00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:59.519 the robot walks away, and so Wolverine's like, Okay, We're on to 526 00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:02.599 the next maneuver Janis. I don't know why it's called Janis, but he's 527 00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:07.159 like, Maneuver Janis, Remember the one where we both attack the robot maneuver, 528 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:15.239 which now, so they end up going together like this is their their 529 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:21.159 big duo. I kind of half expected Janis to be some sort of variation 530 00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:24.159 of the Fastball Special. Nope, it wasn't. No, just a double 531 00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:28.960 attack. Yeah, a Deadpool, of course brings up the joke. He 532 00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:32.239 says, so, Sparky Space Robot, now we resume our endless battle, 533 00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:42.119 and the robot says, searching memory drive endless Battle, and Wolverine says something 534 00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:46.599 very poignant about Deadpool's character as a whole inside of the Marvel universe, and 535 00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:51.760 he thinks to himself, you know what, it's Wade Wilson's world. We 536 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:54.960 just live in it. M Oh, but you know, this robot still 537 00:42:55.039 --> 00:43:00.639 keeps out smarting them, keeps teleporting away. Is not working. Even all 538 00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:06.360 of the beating that Deadpool is taking, the robot is not allowing. Um, 539 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:08.960 he's not staying still long enough for Wolverine to get his claws in him. 540 00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.559 And so he thinks to himself that he's like he's got to He's got 541 00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:16.880 to come up with a new plan. This is not working. H While 542 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:28.519 Deadpool continues to get pulverized, laughing, Yeah, he's just like, oh, 543 00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:31.159 and then Maine is just like just staying in there a middle buddy. 544 00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:36.320 I gotta think so Yeah, he runs over the back to the helicopter. 545 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:44.079 He does something pretty amazing. Yeah, he becomes a drag mom. Yes. 546 00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:50.760 Oh, and like Wade looks so happy. Yes, because while the 547 00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:55.119 robot is, you know, trying to analyze things out in the distance, 548 00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:01.800 we have Wolverine putting on sashes, putting on pin making things happen for the 549 00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:06.719 wonderful, the glorious. You turn the page and you get this amazing splash 550 00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:16.440 cover of Deadpool as Phoenix. I feel pretty. I feel pretty and continues 551 00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:21.559 also powerful, say, do you think it's true that a woman deserves power 552 00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:24.760 from her sexual beauty? Or is that just some crap we mentell ourselves to 553 00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:29.760 justify staring at gams and bozongas all day long. My money's on the bozongas 554 00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:36.559 thing. Yes, And Wolverine's just thinking to himself, yeah, oh lord, 555 00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:40.639 come ahnd your blasted alien robots saved me from And then the robot blasts 556 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:45.800 Deadpool. He goes, thank you. Yeah, oh my gosh, Deadpool 557 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:52.800 is just loving it, bathing internet light. Wow. Wolverine thinks himself. 558 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:58.480 So far, so disgusting. Now, if that scrap heaps of visual sensors 559 00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:01.480 are as damaged as they think they are, this might just work. Identify 560 00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:09.280 courage target prime target Jing Gray targeting gray in gray. Yes, if the 561 00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:14.519 stalker wants Gene, it can have her the old Wilson way. He's gonna 562 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:20.480 have to do it, and Wade. He is doubling down, He is 563 00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:24.000 on his knees, he is bracing for all the glory of the all of 564 00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:30.320 that laser beam pain. But then finally gets the jump on the robot, 565 00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:35.519 so the plan has worked. He's able to slice one of his battery packs 566 00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:40.519 out and then they tries to activate teleport but negative prime target top priority continue 567 00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:45.000 fire, So even as its body is being sliced up, it knows its 568 00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:51.400 top priority is to eliminate Geene Gray. Yeah, and the dead pool is 569 00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:53.960 still in that laser beam, is shouting, hey, am I supposed to 570 00:45:54.039 --> 00:46:00.639 just a lay here? I am fire, I am life incarnate, I 571 00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:07.519 am a phoenix, and phoenix ain't that kind of girl? He pulls out 572 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:15.320 two blazing guns, firing away and I'll just missus. Wolverine, who does 573 00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:19.280 this really funny jump the way that the artist draws him. It's so like 574 00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:23.639 goofy, like Looney Tunes. M oh. But then together they team up 575 00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:30.039 guns and claws, they are able to just chop apart this robot and Deadpools 576 00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:32.840 all like, say, Logan, something occurred to me while I was riding 577 00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:37.880 around on the ground in unimaginable agony. Did you have this phoenix constume made 578 00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:42.719 specially for that big old alien robot? Or do you carry it all around 579 00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:51.519 all the time? And then he goes yeah. And then and then like 580 00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:57.760 all of a sudden, Deadpools outfit gets like rock star eighties sexy, you 581 00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:00.639 know, because you know, pretty much ripped to shreds everywhere, and he 582 00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:07.880 just looks like he's about to jump in a car in mad Max Jury Road. 583 00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:12.880 M Yeah, totally. And then he screams, what a team up? 584 00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:15.679 What a rush? Because you know why they did it. They blasted 585 00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:19.639 through the head, They blasted through the guts, and the head of the 586 00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:23.880 robot is a steaming pile on the floor. Yes, And Wolverine looks down 587 00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:28.400 at Deadpool Hood has passed out, and he says, oh, Jeanie, 588 00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:31.480 I'm so sorry, but you know something, I think I'm finally over you 589 00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:36.840 and he sees Deadpool dressed up as Jean Gray passed out on the ground. 590 00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:43.400 Yeah, it's just all naked looking and dead. And Deadpool looks up and 591 00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:49.159 he says, look, Logan, can we do it again? And he 592 00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:52.440 says, I mean this with all my heart, Wilson, I sure hope 593 00:47:52.480 --> 00:48:00.119 not. Then we just have Wolverina dragging Deadpool by the legs helicopter and his 594 00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:05.639 wig fell off to his wig, and the and the sand is snatched that 595 00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:12.199 wig, the and the and there there's no no the next issue. That 596 00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:17.159 was a one shot you guys, that was a one time story. Yeah, 597 00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.079 super fun, super fun.
