quest covering the latest developer direct from Xbox, Microsoft. So
that was a good time. What else did we do?
We did some reviews for.
Speaker 2: You, did a solo review for wolf Man because I
just did not show up for that one. I apologize
for that, but I'm sure I haven't gotten the chance
to listen to it yet. I haven't seen the movie yet,
but I really just want to listen to your review.
Speaker 3: Make your dad.
Speaker 2: I think you and your dad okay, sounds good. It's
funny that I'm saying this. My dad's probably watching this
right now because he gave me ship on the last
after nine because I was saying how my parents fall
for the AI videos. He's like, I've never followed for
a video. I'm like, well, if you actually listen exactly
what I said. I didn't say specifically my parents. I
said people like my parents, so I had to get
all specific, but say I said, I get full of
by them. I get fulled by them, because yeah, I
should have pulled up that image for him. But like
this one too. You know that's not a Marvel Studio's image.
Speaker 3: That's not even an AI generated. That's a man generated.
Speaker 2: When it's a man generated, but yeah, lesson, learn to
watch what you say on Castoy's gonna listen, that's right. Uh,
what else is going on? We got lots of reviews,
We've got Dexter, We've got the Future. Commandos is in
the dust. We finished up that one a couple of
weeks ago now, Actually Skeleton Crew as well, that happened
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Now we did we did did do dar Devil Fuck
season two. That's a tongue twister that's on the Patreon
right now. So that's freaking awesome. Uh, it'll drop sometime
on the public feeds. I don't know when, but Travis
knows and that's in his hands now.
Speaker 2: That means only him and the Lord knows some Patreon though,
So yeah, patre.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we have Captain America, a brave new
world that's going to be coming around the feb the FBS.
Speaker 2: What did awesome after nine? That was lots of fun
over the weekend.
Speaker 1: That was a good time on my phones. We got
newscasts that are probably coming around next week some time,
I imagine.
Speaker 3: And yeah, just.
Speaker 1: There's there's lots of stuff going on, lots of stuff
right now. There was something else I wanted to shout out,
and why is it?
Speaker 3: Eluding me right now, it's gonna bother me.
Speaker 2: We're getting close to golden Geeks. That's always an exciting
time here on the geek verse, where within a month
of that release, so I don't know, you have lots
to watch. I feel like I have quite a few
things to watch because you know, we can all pitch
a movie that everyone has to see for contendership. I
feel like I have a bigger list than most people
because I just haven't seen a lot of movies yet
of twenty twenty four. But it's always an exciting time
for that.
Speaker 1: It is it is, it's it's a lot of fun
because you know, there's there's deals, there's oh, it's definitely
not a legitimate award show.
Speaker 2: There's some major gray areas going on in some backyards,
like it's like you know, house rules Monopoly. There's some
shady stuff going on.
Speaker 1: And patrons up their tears. We would let influence our
decisions and.
Speaker 2: Where shamful is the real.
Speaker 3: We do have, uh.
Speaker 1: The drafts coming out. Try can promote this, but we've got
like our because we're end of the year now, so
we've got our next movie draft and we've got our
next Marborough draft. Yeah, Marvel drafts. Lots of stuff coming
around the corner here, so those are always a lot
of fun to do. But yeah, I can't think of
what I what else I was trying to remember.
Speaker 2: So next episode, which I don't think you'll.
Speaker 1: Be here for, I think I'll be here for perfect something, right, Dexter.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm glad you're here with me on this spidy adventure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited to talk talk shop.
Speaker 2: So talk shop, talk shop. I've ever said that to me,
so I like it.
Speaker 1: Get this fucking guy out of here, Jesus Christ, God
damn it.
Speaker 2: More important individual. We got Dalton in the chat too,
just switched over from Daredevil. How is Daredevil going for you?
Mister Dalton is switching over from our episode of Daredevil
or himself watching that. I know we're not talking about Daredevil,
but I go, have you started the new season season?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I haven't have you? Okay, one episode, one episode and
I fell asleep really hard. I woke up right at
the end and I'm like, I don't know what the
FUNX just happened. I'm gonna have to restart this episode,
but okay, just making sure we're on the same pace
because I feel like season one I powered through it
really fast and then I had to wait for you,
and the season two you powered through really fast. So
maybe we'll go at the exact same pace here, Dalton
says our season two retro awesome. Hopefully you're enjoying that
it was. It's always fun breaking down that show. It's
a really great show. H yeah.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of I think someone is going to be
appearing in the show, right, mister Matt Murdock himself.
Speaker 1: That's right, Yes, yeah, it's going to be littered with
like crossover things.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I hope.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, we'll lead us in.
Speaker 2: Then.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about this show? Non spoilers on spoilers.
Speaker 2: Show, you know, I think it's absolutely fantastic. I fucking
love this show so much. To other field, I Spider Man,
I mean, for visual viewers, I'm wearing a lot of
spidy merch right now. In my sweatpants are spidy Spidy Man.
I don't have you know, boxers that are Spider Man,
but everything else is spidy right now. I grew up
loving Spider Man from the original like sixties cartoon dawned
a little bit of the nineties cartoon, but like mostly
like that old school original one was my favorite. Some
of the comic books as well, plenty of video games.
I lived in Breed Spidy like many other people out there,
and uh yeah, no, I've just been I've been feasted
on the Spider Man as long as I can remember,
and I must say this show, I feel like my
hype level it wasn't really like maxing out by any means,
as we were getting close like it, I was excited
to watch the show, and just since they first announced it,
like it's been a long time coming. So for that reason,
I've I was definitely excited for it, but I don't know,
I just feel like there wasn't a certain buzz in
the air for me. But I can safely say sitting
down and watching these two episodes back to back, I
fucking love this show so much. It very much takes
me back to like that era being a kid and
watching Spider Man. I feel like as of late, especially
just because of like the MCU usage of Spider Man,
I do like that version. It's different than what I've
seen in the past, but it just because it's a
part of the MCU main story. It's telling like a
story on big screen right versus back in the day
on my Saturday morning cartoons, you know, watching Spider Man,
he's just he's just a friendly hood Spider Man and
he's just he's just fighting like a lot of the time,
like street street villains, and yeah, he's just being a
friendly neighborhood Spider Man. And I think that I kinda
especially even like into the Spider Verse, like those movies,
like it's it's definitely different from what the MCU is,
but it's still it's it's multi dimensional, so it's a
massive universe that we're in. But this show here, I
think they're doing a really good job at keeping it
feeling like a friendly hood Spider Man, like he's just
he's doing very like almost like petty crime saves and stuff.
And I love it though, Like I think it fits
so well for what they're doing in the show. Animation
I'm usually really picky with and I was really, I
don't want to say skeptical going into it, but I
was just like, Okay, we'll wait and see my full judgments.
Safely say I'm totally digging the animation. I don't think
it's my favorite by any means, but like sometimes three
D animation can be a little bit jarring for me,
but as as we go, and I feel like within
ten minutes, like I was, I didn't really notice any
like statering or anything anymore. Like I just I'm really
really locked in with the animation style. I really love
the art style actually of the show overall, just the
colors and everything that they're using, you know, like the
character designs, and it's in really unique way of mixing
like an old like old sixties style drawings like Style
four characters. A lot of the characters' faces look like
it's ripped right out of like an old sixties cartoon
or sorry, old sixties comic book like Spider Man. Just
some of the way that they drew the faces, it
just seems really old. But there's so much like modernists
to what they're doing with the show, So it's a
really good spicing of that for me. I'm loving all
of the comic book paneling and everything, just the transition.
Sometimes it'll just say like meanwhile, you know, like how
Spider Verse does it really well, and I'm loving just yeah,
the comic bookiness of what the show is, and yeah,
I feel like I could just keep rambling on and on.
I'm liking the music. I like our side characters. I
like the threats that's going on. I like the world.
I like our aunt May, I like our Peter Parker
when he's Peter Parker as well as Spider Man. I
like the suit. Like I just I'm really feasting on
everything right now, So this is kind of best case scenario,
I think for what I would have hoped for my
my friendly neighborhood spider Man show. And uh yeah, I'm
I'm totally digging it. I really like the two episode release.
I believe that's every week, if I'm not mistaken right,
every episode's gonna be or sorry, every week's gonna be
dropping the episode at a time. Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm
I'm really loving that, just because I'm really I'm really
digging the show. And I think for thirty minute like
animated stuff, I think it's a really good way to
do it. I feel like with Creature Commandos, I just
felt like I really wanted more. Every single week. It
just seemed like I was getting a little a mouze boosh,
you know when you're really hungry and you get like
a a really small appy and it doesn't even like like, sure,
you get the mouth feel, you know, it's it's fun
to slop down some Motts sticks or whatever the hell
you have, and I'm jalapeno popper, but you're still starving
by the end of it. And I feel like that's
kind of how I was feeling on the Creature Commandos review,
where it's like I do a twenty twenty minute review
and I'm like, wow, okay, yeah, we can talk about
it really quickly and then go into next week. And
I don't know, I just really like the two two
episode batch for shows like this, and uh yeah, no,
I'm fucking loving this. I'm feasting on it. But am
I alone Let's see, let's see, Sorry, Dalton, I'm making
you hungry with my halopenio poppers. Uh.
Speaker 1: I am really really enjoying this as well. And it
took me probably about five to ten minutes of the
first episode to actually get into that. I didn't have
a huge amount of excitement from the trailers, and.
Speaker 3: I know you guys are all excited.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, well again, I'm just not feeling
And I feel like lately a lot of the marketing
is just not really pulling me in unfortunately, but yeah,
I mean here we are when I finally get into
that project like Agatha with this and with Creature Commandos,
and then I'm actually like, okay, I'm really really enjoying this.
Speaker 3: This is this is pretty good.
Speaker 1: And with this show, there's uh yeah, there's a few
things that I really was not expecting.
Speaker 3: Uh I just I think it's great the animation.
Speaker 1: That was one of the big things that I did
not realize that there was this kind of whole debacle
going off with some people really liking it, some people
hating it, and then certain things that were brought to
my attention. So when I went into this episode and
I stood out to me because I was looking for like,
oh wow, okay, I like.
Speaker 3: My eyes are like not really appreciating it.
Speaker 1: But again after five minutes, it was like, hey, this
is totally fine. I am totally driving with this and
it's actually really cool. And it's a unique kind of
approach to this animation as well by giving it this
comic book aesthetic, so I can really get behind it.
And kudos to their creativity for trying to come up
with and do something like this. I think it's it's
working really really well, but yeah, it's it's gonna be
neat to see you with a story progresses, because I
think it started off really, really hot and it's it's
absolutely captured my engagement.
Speaker 3: And as I was joking Madison, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, this is a prequel to spend Man Homecoming,
and then I quickly rolled that back saying no, no, no,
it's not, it's not.
Speaker 2: It's if there's something that happens in the beginning, like
the start of episode one, like pretty early on, I'm like,
it made me think about that greater MCU and kind
of what's going on, So I just wasn't really expecting,
but I don't know. We'll go into that obviously.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: But all in all, I think this is a it's
a strong start, and I am very excited to see
where this goes.
Speaker 3: Coveredy episodes.
Speaker 2: This is again eight eleven. Apparently it's my list if
that's accurate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty nice.
Speaker 2: Last one comes out, last one comes out, actually ten
because episode eleven says season two, episode one, so two,
there you go, so yeah, episode ten and they all
have names, which is kind of interesting. Some minor spoilers.
I guess if you look at those names, but do
with that what you will. That information I just gave you.
Speaker 1: Cool. Okay, do you have anything else you want to
sneak in there before we getting spoilers, I'll.
Speaker 2: Sneak in a couple quick things. I fucking love the
intro to the show. I did not skip it the
second time around. It's you know, you get the great intro.
The song is like a mix up of the old
classic one with again some like more modern. They got
some hip hop in there, just modernize it, like the
animation with the intro, and then as the episode starts,
it's like a different image like for the episode, and
it just reminds me of like Saturday morning cartoons. I'm
sure things do it now like that, just a unique
image to start the episode. But of course in this one,
it's like the cover of a comic book. So I
think they're just nailing the whole aesthetic for the show.
I'm really really loving that. So yeah, I just wanted
to shout that out there, and no, let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Cool. What We're gonna take our first ad break and
we will be right back and we are back. So
where do you want to start?
Speaker 2: Start with? Episode one the amazing beginning to see. Yeah,
I mean I feel like I knew details of the show,
and then right when I sat down to watch it,
I just all of that one completely out of my minds,
which is great because I went into it extremely blind.
Like I kind of forgot about Norman was Born, even
though there's been so many memes about it, so you know,
spoiler section now, but like at the end of the
episode when he's going to back to his house and
now May is there, you know, a guy with the
fancy car. Of course, I'm just thinking of like the
scene from uh was It Civil War when Iron Man
is like talking at May. It seemed like the exact
same type of setup, So like my mind actually went
to Iron Man before Norman Osborne, and then of course
when it was Norman Osbourne, it made a lot more
sense to me. But just just the whole world setup overall,
I kind of just forgot that, like this is gonna
have like before that he's like Spider Man. I thought
he was gonna be Spider Man already going into it,
but no, I like the I Guess New Origin where
Uncle Ben dies before Spider Man becomes Peter Parker. Let
me try that again before Peter Parker becomes Spider Man,
and just the whole setup of him and not may
like it's it's really quick, like you want, you don't
have a lot of time to like them just being
depressed at like losing Uncle Ben. But I thought it
was paced well the way that they kind of just
mentioned it quickly. You know, they shed some tears and
they just kind of move on. I don't think it'll
be the last time that we like mentioned him and
just the impact of what that loss was for the
two of them. But I don't know. I just really
liked the whole initial pacing of everything, whether it was
just how he got bit. This doctor Strange just kind
of fucked over this universe, right, Like Butt brings this
monster right to a high school where there's just children.
He's like almost as bad as the cops and the
Creature Commando's universe, but uh, not so bad. I guess
he does save them with his cloak and everything, but
just seems like a wild place to bring the monster.
I guess he didn't really plan on it, but it's
just like, come on, man, this is this is a
it's like bringing monster into like a hospital, it's just
like Jesus, come on this.
Speaker 1: It's a classic one, right, classic Spider Man villain.
Speaker 2: Well, it's like it's it's definitely like a venom symbiote,
but in the credits it just said symbiotic alien, like
it didn't have like a proper name. I love the colors, like,
I'm such a fan of that version of the symbiote
Spider Man, just like the black and blue versus everything else,
Like it just it looks so sick. Plus I believe
that's like the original like black Suit Spider Man had
that color. The Venom to my left has that the
black and blue. Like it's just I just love that aesthetic.
So seeing it with like kind of had some mandibles
in there, it was an interesting design of a symbiotic alien.
So and yeah, that's kind of like doctor Strange is
why we have a Spider Man in this universe. I
don't know what they're calling this one number wise, obviously,
like we have some some gender bending going on with
some of the characters in here we were introduced. I
think it's actually maybe episode two. I apologize if I
mix episodes here, but Doctor Connors, which is a you know,
a girl in here, and uh yeah, just just some
other interesting things like obviously Mary Jane isn't mentioned. I
don't know if she was a thing or something. But
like Nico Minoru is our our Spidey bestie right now.
I mean, Lonnie's kind of going for that. Uh he's
trying to go for that that that uh that name
right now being Peter Parker's best friend. But I don't know,
I'm kind of all over the place right now, So
save me, Taylor, what do you think of just the
initial setup of the show, And yeah, just initial world building.
You know, he's he's a fresh high school student. I
don't know if it's just he went from like an
old high school to this new fancy one, or if
it's like he's actually a freshman in in this, you know,
for in this high school.
Speaker 1: I think it's just I think he's just freshman, like
starting high school. Yeah, yeah, caping a pretty pretty standard
Uh yeah, I mean I think it was. It was
really exciting them kind of just getting him here, and
his dynamic was that may and just then okay, yeah,
doctor Strange just pops up and just causes a complete
rockests at the school in Midtown. But I like too
that the spider didn't die. That's kind of a common theme, and.
Speaker 2: I got on, I got really like even I got
chills when that happened too. I'll explain that now, I
guess since I just abruptly stopped you, I apologize. So
to do you know about the character Silk? We talked
about her origin because she had a show that was
coming out and I think it was The Secret Spiders Society.
It was a live action show and then it got canceled,
and then I didn't really know about the character back then,
so Travis informed us Silk was bitten by the same
Spider as Peter Parker. So that's why anytime that they're
around each other, they just want to fuck. They just
want to go at each other, you know, some some
spiderfucking going on. And uh, there's more of the character
than that, But that was, I guess, like the spicy
topic that we were talking about on that episode. I
wonder why. I wonder why our minds went there. But yeah,
I since then not because of that reason, I did
some digging on Silk and read some of her comics
and some of the origins, and I'm just digging my
own grave now explaining after that story I jumped into Silk,
but no, I think she's a really really cool character.
Game has been out for a while now, but they
allude to Silk being maybe a character in the Insomniac
Spider Man games. So like at the end of Spider
Man two, the character of Cinney Moon is introduced, which
is really really exciting, just a really cool character with
some some badass powers and really really cool design as well.
For her, I mean, go check out the GV discord.
That's my name right now, Like she's she's like my
icon image in there. I just I'm really really digging
that character. And when Peter gets bit and he's fading out,
the Spider is still alive. As you mentioned, it goes
on a backpack and someone picks it up, and right
away I'm like, that's fucking Cindy Moon. That's god to
be Sydney Moon. Like I'm having chills right now just
talking about it. I've I've was really excited about the
idea what that show is going to be, mostly just
spending more time I'm with with the character Silk. But
I think in an animated setting, I actually like it
a lot more than probably what that live action would
have been. So that had me really juicing. Honestly when
we when he first ran into Nico, I thought that
was actually gonna be Cindy Moon, just because that character
is traditionally like an Asian descent, and you know, runs
into Nico, which is another really badass character. I've just
experienced her through playing The Midnight Sun's video game. I
highly recommend that game. The game's awesome. And then she's
one of my favorite cards of Marble Snap, really cool character,
and yeah, I said a lot there. Hopefully Cindy's coming.
That's that's what I'm That's like my season one of
Wanda Vision Mephisto. That's like my hard prediction that that's
definitely Cindy Moon. I'm taking it to the bank. I
don't know if that's going to be like an end
of the season thing, Like I don't think we're really
going to be spending a lot of this season for
like focusing on that at all. I think it's really
just going to be on our Peter Parker's beider Man.
But I loved I loved it. I loved the quick
little thing, and if it goes nowhere, I'm gonna be
extremely disappointed.
Speaker 1: I mean, you convinced me, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: I think the fact.
Speaker 1: Alone that that scene where crawls into the backpack, backpack
gets picked up and walks off, I think, Okay, I
think you're going to be getting something like that and
this this fits the m O. I mean, we don't
have so far Mary Jane, we don't have a Gwen Stacy.
Speaker 2: So I mean, if they got right, so.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're looking to have like I mean,
not gonna put Spider Man fucking in this show, but
I mean that's the general theme.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, if we got this and the
last of us who knows, who knows where we're gonna
who knows? That's right.
Speaker 3: But that's cool. I appreciate that. Lauren, you're here.
Speaker 1: You heard it here first folks Kirkland's calling it predicting
that so when.
Speaker 2: Other people online are mentioning that this isn't my original idea,
but yes, so.
Speaker 3: That's that's cool. That's cool. Uh.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought that it was was pretty exciting
to start with doctor Strange in there, and just to
comic book old school kind of looked to him was
really sweet. And yeah, then he just he just bounced.
It just made me really think of how it got
me excited about what's to come when we get into
more multiverse stuff with the next couple of Avengers movies
and just a little bit more expansion with the multiverse
right now. It's so it's exciting. It's very, very exciting.
And I like those parallels too. In this episode, how
when he finds a DVD player and he's walking and
it's the same exact thing you highlighted it already a
little bit, but the same exact scene from Homecoming where
Tony starts sitting on the couch, right, but at this time.
Speaker 3: It's Norman Osborne.
Speaker 1: There's a few other scenes that they did that too,
where he's maneuvering around and it's like this is just
like pulled right out of the movie.
Speaker 3: And I like that.
Speaker 1: It's it's cool to see that parallel even though it's
a different, different universe, So I can really get behind
that and appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like one thing to do a different version
of the character, but also to like make it feel
like it's a variant out there, right, especially that we
like we're living with this idea of variance, and like
it could be extremely different, or it could be a
little bit different, and like maybe they're treading the same path,
but they just kind of end up in a different situation.
So maybe some people might be angry of like, oh,
this is just a rip off from this scene, but
it's like, I don't know, I really like it for
that idea, even just seeing like the Doctor Strange portal animation,
like we've just seen so many of those now in
the MCU that as soon as it happened, I'm like,
holy fuck, like is this actually like really going to
be tying into the greater MCU stuff? But it's like, no,
it's just an animation and it could just be that,
you know, But the fact that we're messing with the
multiverse already, I'm like, I'm like seventy eight percent sure
this this character is gonna pop up in like Secret
Wars now, like this animated Spider Man, like it could
very much happens.
Speaker 3: With Spider Verse, right. We got the live action Yeah.
Speaker 2: Childish Gambino in there, Donald Glover like live action version
of him.
Speaker 1: So you never know what kind of crossovers there cooking up,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like the story of Norman oz n't just kind
of recruiting him. But to me, it seems a little
too peculiar right now, because I feel like, why would
he appear there just out of the blue.
Speaker 3: I don't believe his whole prospect story.
Speaker 1: And why would he be there himself to pick up
intern in turns like this. It's a lot of red flags,
of course. I'm he just seems kind of shady period
right now. I thought he was going to be there
because Harry was saved, but that's not the case because
he's just found out, which we'll talk about episode two,
that whole thing after the fact. But yeah, I don't know,
it's just it's it's weird that he was just there
to recruit Peter Parker. Uh wait, that was episode two
or episode one?
Speaker 2: Episode one?
Speaker 3: Episode one? Okay, okay, cool. At the end the other
thing I'll highlight then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Harry just being chased by some thugs that live
stream this shit. You're chasing the sun of the most
probably richest men in New York. I don't think this
is gonna fucking happen, especially because you're live streaming it.
Speaker 2: Was that Harry Osbourne. Harry at the beginning, Oh, my gosh, Okay,
I totally different character. That's funny. Yeah, I know, really
goofy type villains. They just look it's like, I don't
know the first guy. Maybe i'm profiling here, so don't
take offense to anyone that looks like this guy. But
I'm like, man, this looks like the guy that's getting
shoved in lockers and he's the bully here. So it's
kind of a funny little spin on its head situation.
I just apter when he pulled out his buddy pulls
out the phone, he's like, pull that up on live
and they're just live streaming that they're gonna what are
you gonna do? They're gonna rob him or like mug him.
Like it's just it seems so goofy compared to like
the traditional they're gonna take smugger that I would have
like think of like two thousand and one, you know,
Toby's Spider Man. That's scene with Mary Jane, Like they're
not live streaming that they're gonna do some very dark things.
That just seems like a totally different type of street villain.
But I don't know, it was a it was a
good save.
Speaker 1: It's safe for sure, mm hm, and Madison was commenting
about that when he like the whole the fight scene,
it was kind of like with that animation style, it
was a little tricky to kind of get used to,
but it was cool how he like pus the brick
back which we saw on trailers and like drops the ladder,
swings the door open.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: The Spider Man is he feels like the Peter Parker
and the Spider Man dynamic.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: And it feels like every time we get a Spider
Man there's just new tribulations and new there's just a
new kind of thing. It's not more of the same,
and I'm really thankful for that. And the Spider Man
does not feel like a Tom Holland Spider Man. Well,
it definitely has Tom Holland isms from that Peter Parker
at the end of the day, it just feels like
he's just his own innocent kind of unit, but not
necessarily innocent because he's gone through loss as well with
Uncle Ben and whatnot.
Speaker 2: So Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I like how they're like, he
really feels like a brand new Spider Man. I think
he's doing the scene when they have like that runaway
vehicle and he stops them, and it just seems like
he's like trying things like, man, hopefully this works, and
then he does it, He's like, oh my god, that
worked out awesome. Like he's just kind of really testing
his limits, like what his potential is now, and I
like that it makes sense. He's only a couple months in.
You know, he's wearing like the hockey jersey outfit. He's
got like a pneumatic system that shoots at his webs.
Like I'm loving all the gadgetry, which I went from
like hating the whole idea of the web shooters. I
thought it was just such a a cop out thing.
It's like, well, don't have my web shooters. I guess
I can't web anything. It's just it's just like eye rolly,
especially because like, yeah, I watched like the end, like
the old show, but like really Toby was like like
those movies were really what just blew my mind on
like the big screen, and then he had like the
natural webs, right, So that was just kind of my
version of it. So I've kind of swayed back and forth,
but I'm I'm totally digging just this version with all
the gadgets and everything, and it just seems like steampunky
with how everything works, so and like it's very different
than other versions that we've seen in the past. It's
not just like he has this webshooter that he invented
that's like perfect, Like this is kind of like the
mock one Iron Man suit, So I really dig in it.
He's already kind of talking about like, well, I'm gonna
have to make the next suit fireproof when he's fighting
that buttane guy. So yeah, I just really like his
I guess the the era of where he's at in
his Spider Man journey, him being right at the beginning,
and I'm hoping that there's not like any major time jumps,
like I kind of wanna, like, I'm sure there will be,
even if we go from season one to season two
at least a minor one. But I like that we're
just kind of going through the learning lessons with him
on just yeah, fighting fighting crime. And I think because
like he is fighting like more street villains as opposed
to just fighting Thanos three point zero or whatever the
hell it is, you know, in episode one, a couple
of months in the job, like it just seems like
everything's grounded in a nice playing field right now in
the show, And yeah, I'm I'm loving it. It's a
nice break from just some really big world ending type
threats that we're used to getting.
Speaker 3: What do you think the odds are?
Speaker 1: And this is when you maybe stretched a little bit
when he was This is after the first the intro
and he's suiting up, he's late for school. He starts
swinging and he's saw swinging by the subway or the
mono rail skytrain whatever, and you see this little child.
She's like, whoa, mom, what are the odds that that
was supposed to be like a Miles Morales kind of
nod or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely my mind went there right away. I mean
it could be real, right, Like, I think I don't
know what the legitimate comic book version of Miles Morales
is like, age wise, but I always assume Miles was
younger than Peter Parker, at least from the versions that
I've seen, So yeah, I think it could very well
be Miles Morales.
Speaker 3: Heard it here first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're breaking down all these fur you just heard first,
you know, breaking news. Nice. What do you think about Nico?
Do you know much about this character at all.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about this, okay, I mean growing up
it was like, okay, I know, I know about MJ.
I know about MJ, and then I do nothing about I.
Speaker 2: Think she's a new character, Nico, Like I don't remember
ever seeing her in like anything old my first you know,
just just what's the word I'm looking for? My first
uh holy hell exposure to the character would have been
through Midnight Suns and I don't think she was like
new in that, but definitely like a newer type comic
book hero and maybe I should look it up to really.
Speaker 1: So there's no original characters created for this show. It's
just like they've changed up their variants kind of a thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, like probably some minor character like I don't
know if that Pearl character is is like an original
or not an original character, Like I don't think she's
been around the block or like Lonnie. Some of the
names just rolled off the tongue in a very comic
booky way that I'm like, oh, this has to be
like an original character or not an original character, so
like someone pulled from the source. So I guess Nico
was created in two thousand and three, so actually much
older than I would have expected, because that's only two
years after the first Spider Man movie came out, So
that's that's really surprising.
Speaker 3: Two years after the first Spider Man came out.
Speaker 2: Interesting three, she first appeared in Runaways, which that sounds
like an X Men type thing. Sorry for any big
Runways fans. Anyone that's like a big Nico fan right
now is just lighting us up in the comments, I'm sure,
but yeah, what do you think about her? She? I mean,
we don't really see her do much. She's just kind
of a friend of Peter Parker right now, but.
Speaker 1: Just are they solely friends? Because I feel like she
is like I want to be more than friends.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm over reading that.
Speaker 2: I think she wants to be more than friends with
Pearl because when well, I think it's an episode two.
They're at the football game and then Peter's gotta go.
It's like, oh, I gotta and then Nico's like, oh really,
you gotta go in the Pearls like, don't worry about
about him, you know, we're gonna have fun together. And
then she's all like infatuated, like oh yeah, you're right, Yeah,
go ahead, Peter, I don't need you here. And then
I think it's when they're in like science class or something.
He's talking about getting the courage to go ask out Pearl,
and he's like, Wow, it's got to be one of us,
That's what Nico says. So I'm under the assumption that
she's got a fancy for the pearl black pail.
Speaker 1: Everyone's fancying on Pearl, because even what's his name is
dating Pearl, right, Lonnie Lannie? Yeah? Is he a new character?
Is he a Marvel character?
Speaker 2: I've never heard of Lonnie before at all, never heard
of Lonnie either.
Speaker 1: And we've got a very interesting kind of like an
awareness kind of moment with him too, right after school,
like he just kind of felt bad, not bad, sad
that Peter I was like, oh right, I'm out, and
just a long scene of him going home and just
you know, it's he's trying to trying to do the
right thing and make a good life for himself and
his family and help them out, and you just see
like the cop kind of just sizing them.
Speaker 2: Up, profiling. I was really surprised to see that in
here actually, just just the total like yeah, just some
like little social injustice like glimpse in there. I mean,
it's a very real thing, as unfortunate as it is.
So I think I was just surprised by the overall
vib of what the show was. Very cartoony, very bright
and colorful. I just didn't think they would have the
kahonas to go in that direction. But I was, I
don't know, I was like, I'm, I'm they showed it,
and it's like, wow, that's surprising, and I hope they
actually like it's more than that. It's not like it's
just that one scene that's just gonna be like a
weird thing looking back, because they don't do anything else
relating to that. I imagine because they glimpsed, they showed,
you know, a little bit of light on it. Hopefully
we go further in that direction, just to I don't know,
bring it to attention and do a good job telling
the story, because obviously like Falcon Winter Soldier, there's a
lot of that going on there, but for the most part,
like the MCU doesn't really tackle that sort of thing.
So I think just out of all places, I wouldn't
have expected to be in the Friendlyhood Spider Man show.
But yeah, we'll see what happens out of that, And
like when he does that like face turn after like
Peter leaves. Initially, of course, my mind's like, oh, he's
a bad guy, Like what's this guy? I think? And
he's he's Gray Goblin or something, but behind the curtains.
But I don't know. I'm really intrigued to what this
character is gonna be because he's just he seems like
he's gonna be a pretty big character, like he's just
been in a lot of scenes. I assumed he was
just gonna be like the asshole football quarterback boyfriend that
you know, like Peter's want want to be a girlfriend,
is dating, Like I just thought he was gonna fit
into that stereotypical category. I guess so, I I mean, yeah,
tip my hat to them for swaying my preconceived notions
of what the character is gonna be. But yeah, I'm
really interested in what's gonna be. Like I'm I don't
now that like we've seen two episodes, I don't think
it is gonna be anything like two sus I think
when he just felt down, like maybe he was just
thinking about back home, like like he does have a
lot of weight on his shoulders, seems already right, like
he's he's helping his little brother with his with his
school homework. He's the captain of the football team. He's
super book smart, which you know, you don't just nat
some people I guess natural are like that, but like
that takes a lot of hard work. He's looking to
say the family money on their car repair, like he's
talking to a shop teacher, like. He just seems like
he is the guy in so many different avenues, which
obviously puts a lot of weight on him. So yeah,
I think I'm just really surprised on how interested I
am with this character because I just assumed he was
going to be just a very two D like, no
layers to him at all. He's just he's just the
football guy. Like I thought he was going to be
like the Flash Thompson honestly when they first introduced him,
before they gave us a name. But yeah, maybe that's
actually the Great Goblins. You know, true name is Lonnie.
I haven't done any digging. I didn't want to get
like too spoiled or anything, so I didn't want to
dig too much into some of the names. But yeah,
cool Felton agrees.
Speaker 3: Not the typical job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I asked you about Nico, we got another young
May you know, but keeping us in the Spicy may Realms.
She's not like they do not like old Maze for
whatever reason. I really like the scene when he misses
the bus and he's like, well, then he opens up
his bag and I'm like, thinking he's gonna pull it
the Spider Man costume. But it's just like some old
sandwich or something. Uh so, you know it. Uh I
don't want to say confuse me at I'm lost for
words right now. It pissed me off. Yeah, it was
like this fucking just turned it off. That's all I watched. Actually,
I didn't even watch this. Uh no, it's it's swayed
my what I thought was gonna happen. Let's let's say that.
But yeah, Peter, you know he's trying to obviously, I
think the whole show is going to be him trying
to balance Spider Man's cool work internship thing. I mean,
something really spicy appen right at the end of episode two,
which I think is gonna let's just go there.
Speaker 1: Actually, you know, yeah, like break first and then we'll
get into it and we're back.
Speaker 2: We started at the beginning of episode one, and now
we're gonna start at the end of episode two. I
was shocked that Norman would have found out in this
early on that he's Spider Man. And it's not even
like it's just he sees this, and it ends with
like can you explain this? And then it's like, you know,
something completely different at the start of next episode where
it's it's not what you think, like he just straight
up says like, so you're a Spider Man a and
he just shows like the image of him. There's no
way you would have seen this. Come right, Taylor, You're
not a you're not a seer. You don't have the sight.
Speaker 3: I I was.
Speaker 1: I was questioning it because when he was in the
hallway changing in the stairwell, my first thought.
Speaker 2: Was terrible idea. Yeah I thought that too.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah that was a little a little strange, but
I mean, sure enough there was and that's what happened.
Speaker 3: So he was caught, and it's it's quiet.
Speaker 1: It's crazy that he does like Norman knows, because that's
the whole thing where Norman didn't know until later. There's
usually some kind of situation where our Green Goblin finds
out after so much tribulation and it's like holy shit,
like and then he kills someone that's important to Peter.
Speaker 3: So this is this is huge and how far is
it's gonna go.
Speaker 1: I don't think Norman's gonna tell I think it'll be
interesting to see the dynamic between Harry when Harry's probably raven.
Speaker 3: Or maybe he knows too.
Speaker 1: He probably has respect for Peter now because he found
out Harry has been raven about the Spider Man that
saved his life and yeah, yeah, yeah, so Norman's probably
very thankful to Spider Man, right, so maybe now Spider
or Peter will be like tossed into the robotics program.
But he's everyone's wishing him like, oh, you know, you're
screwed when he was going to see Norman, but now
he's gonna be there's no storm of Norman up there,
like Peter's coming down a hero.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean I never thought he was gonna
be in shit, Like I thought Norman wanted to see
him because he wanted to see him, and that's what
he wanted to you know, like that's what he told
him to do, Like tell him, tell him to send
right to me as soon as you get there, do
you like do you think. I feel like there's no
way that he would have had suspicions though, that he
would have been Spider Man before that point, like like
why would he have sought Peter out like like right
away to do that, You know, I just don't really
understand why that would have gone that way. So maybe
it is gonna be real that he had some knowledge
of what was going on to begin with, and that's
why he got him there. And then obviously he knew
that Spider Man would have saved Harry his son, So yeah,
like maybe it is going to be your route. I mean,
the guy's face, he just looks so angry when when
he's in his office, so he's a tough tough card
to read there. But I was just so shocked. I
just did not think that reveal was going to happen
at all. I really didn't think anyone's gonna even really
see his like secret, Like I guess maybe Nico at
some point. I feel like that reveal will happen, maybe
midway of the show. But yeah, I was just I
was really sure, especially just because it's Storm and Norman man,
like I'm expecting this guy to be the main villain
of the whole show to so to have that revealed
this early on, Maybe they'll fool me again and we'll
do something different. Maybe Sidney Moon is going to be
the main villain of the season. Who knows, we'll see.
But anyway, it was. It was just a wild way
to end that episode two, and now I'm like, God.
Speaker 1: I gotta wait out a week.
Speaker 2: Is crazy, but really well done little cliffhanger there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was very very well done, and just
very excited to see where it's going to go.
Speaker 3: But I already already.
Speaker 2: Spoke to that, so yeah, and I was mistaken. It
was actually at the start of episode two when he
like speaks to Norman, okay, and uh, I like the
look of Norman, like they they have, like the the
weird hair that he has. I believe that's from like
the comic books, and it's just it's a really strange hairstyle.
I should ask my barber to give that to me.
Speaker 1: But both him and Harry wearing green suits, you know,
they're really living this green Goblin vibe.
Speaker 2: And I don't remember if anything was like confirmed, but
I'm like, man, we're getting both versions. We're getting the
green and we're getting the new I guarantee it. We're
getting that. But I don't know why I said guarantee.
It's like a guarantee we're breaking all the this just
in uh where I was going somewhere else, but I
totally lost my train of thoughts. I just saw an
image and it just killed my brain there. But what
else happened in this episode? Peter rubbed the championship trophy
for some luck.
Speaker 1: He's getting popular, right, he was going to go to
a party with Nico, and yep, that didn't work out
obviously because other things happened.
Speaker 2: Because Lonnie's just like obsessed with this guy and like
again like I'm waiting for some reveal to happen. I
like why this is this is actually happening, but.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Hopefully he's just a nice guy and uh, yeah, we
gotta introduced we got we got a what Condon in
this show? Yes, a really cool like O. They're like
going through where everyone's from, and it's like she's just
from like the most unique place out of everyone, Like
I I think the other one's yeah, and the Queen's
She's like, look at us, we're all from around the world.
I don't know, I like that character. She was really jove,
just joy jovial. Yeah is that the three word? Yeah, yeah, okay,
sounds like an adolescent type thing. But anyways, she's she's
very jovial. I actually found episode two had me laughing
quite a bit, Like I found myself just laughing out
loud quite a bit in this episode episode one few times,
but specifically episode two. I just think there's a lot
of funny things going on. I really like the Whitman character,
like the asshole professor that's like basically like he's got
these four interns on and he's like running the boot camp.
Just just some of the things that he was saying
to them, I just thought was really funny. Come look
in this microscope, tell me what you see. I don't
see anything. It's like, well, idiot, I mean he put
the slide in yet, And just some of like the
sarcasm that he had I just thought was kind of
kind of funny there. But uh yeah, no, I just
thought the overall comedy was was heightened in this episode.
And yeah, we got doctor Connor's here, you got Miss
Connor's actually, well, I guess she's still a doctor. Don't
want to put any hate on her name, but uh,
she's missing a limb, you know, like mister Connors always has.
I imagine we'll be getting some lizard like man wee man
at some point. But yeah, would you what do you
think about that? Him not going to the robotics department.
We got this, Uh he had a really cool name,
but doctor Cho he called himself. Uh is like Amadaeus
or something like that is his first name. Anyways, rock
me Amadeus, rock me. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought it was very cool. I'm enjoying all these
different variants of these characters and whatnot just popping in
I think that's that's It's really awesome. It's multiversal and
I totally dig it. I think doctor Connor is popping
in here and having this relationship with Harry not Harry Peter.
Speaker 3: I think it's great.
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see where it's going to go because
this just presents, okay, well, we've got a potential lizard
in here, so I'm excited for that. I think it's awesome.
What else though, Oh yeah, just the there was a
there was a few more humorous moments in this episode.
I'll get behind that, and I like to I like
that snobby professor scientist guy and even when Peter arrives
the building of the Guard's like, yeahous, I'm two minutes
early and you need to be your fifteen minutes early.
And like, I have a meeting with Norman Osborne. He
told me to come up, like they're just treating him
like shit.
Speaker 2: The photo too, He's just like, oh yeah, it's like,
can we do a redo? And he like doesn't acknowledg
him at all. I was getting like PTSD flashbacks when
I was signed up for my costco membership and I'm
just like taking the photo and there's so many people around.
It's just horrible. But yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I enjoyed. I enjoyed the episode.
Speaker 1: I don't have much else to add though, but I yeah,
I really did like it. I'm excited to see where
it's gonna go because I think it's it's created the world,
it's connected us with the characters, and now it's it's
set up this mystery and like I'm I'm hooked onto it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, we got a clash with but Tane, which, like, man,
this is like my favorite power level for like villains
to have in this show. Like you know, obviously we'll
get like someone a little bit smarter or whatnot. But
I just it's like a Shocker type hero. You know,
this is like the fire Element version of Shocker. So
I really like these types of villains in this show
or just other Spider Man adventures. And uh, I mean
the fight was really good. I like the animation of
the fire and everything. I found it. I just laughed
out loud. He's like, I'm burning down the whole block
of fifty second Street. You're on fifty first Street, and
like just like the realization of it, Like it's just
it's it's very again like Saturday Morning cartoony and just
just just the goofy type villain, even though like he is,
like he's still very dangerous, but he just has some
goofiness around him, and I just feel like that fits
Spider Man so well. So yeah, I really like that
whole sequence, like the pet Shop moment when he's saving
all the all the animals. At first, I did not
think he was gonna save those fish. So I'm like, Jesus,
he just did not give a shit about those those
doories that were in there, whatever type of fish that is.
But yeah, he saved the spider pup I think is
what he called them, spider dog whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's I'm glad you mentioned that because that
whole fight scene that was really really funny.
Speaker 3: When he gets in there, he's like.
Speaker 1: I'm looking, I got a little first step one rescue
any survivors, and he's like, I made sure the billing
was empty first.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, I'm not a madiac.
Speaker 1: Good, thank you for doing that. And then when he
was like, oh, you're burning the wrong building, when he's like,
the developer paid me to burn this down, and then
the shot of him like he leans out the window
to look at the street and the street zooms out
to the street being the wrong street and his eyes are.
Speaker 2: Just like huge.
Speaker 3: That was hilarious. That was so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that I saw Captain America in here.
He was of course posing with Norman Osbourne the Great
and Powerful. And I'm pretty sure like that design for
like that looked exactly like an original is like Avengers
type drawing of that character. I apologize, I don't know
like the artists that did like that initial stuff, but yeah,
it was just cool to see it there. And then
iron Man was kind of like a I guess like
a mirror decoration in at May's car. So uh yeah,
just you know, we got some some heroes out there.
They mentioned Stark Tech, like the Stark collider. Is that
what it was? Arc reactor not a collide yes, and
that he like patented that. So yeah, it's just just
like the world billion stuff that was that was like
spoken about, not shown. I think was did good for
just establishing, like the world it already has supers. It's
not a new idea of having a superhero. So seeing
this guy dressed up like Spider guy whatever the pizza
guy was calling him, it was good.
Speaker 1: The spider Spider boy or whatever. Yeah, that was funny
when he I liked that scene too, when Peter's like,
you know this, they just want another chance.
Speaker 3: They did whim whatever.
Speaker 1: That was really really a good humbling moment and I
like too. Yeah when the pizza Guy's like, oh, you
got my money back, how about a pizza And.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh yeah, takes the whole box, he said,
a couple of pieces, and then he just grabbed the
whole box and swung out of there. Like the guy
did not have a chance to say, like, I did
not mean the whole box, but definitely not. Yeah, I
actually thought that scene was gonna go a little bit differently.
I mean, hey, I am impressed that it wasn't just
like a classic interaction that we've seen so many times
where it's just criminal takes him back, you know, kicks
his ass and here's your money back, and that's it.
Like there was some more depth to the situation, how
like you know, they're down on their luck and there's
it's more complicated than that. Like, I just surprised that
they even went through the lengths of doing that. I
found it funny how I'm pretty sure the lady says
that like she lost her job and like she's just
down on her luck. They had a big point of
emphasis that there was like no less than like three
help wanted posters on that pizza shop. I thought he
was gonna be like, well you can work here, and
it was gonna be like a nice, humble thing where like,
you know, he hires this want to not want to
be criminal, but just just kind of helps them out,
gives them a job. But it did not go that way.
So I just found it weird that they point of
emphasis on all these help wanted she mentions that she
lost her job and just needs money, and then they
just didn't even go that way. So I don't know.
I don't know if it would have made it better
or worse, or if it would have been weird hiring
a potential criminal, But I just maybe was expecting a
little bit more out of it. Yeah, yeah, Peter A
band is Nico at the party. Poor girl, she sent
like a very nice message. I feel like that is
not It would either have been a very too nice,
it would have been a very passive aggressive in real life,
or just ghosted. But she's like, you know, talk to
you later. I guess you didn't couldn't show up. I'm
leaving this party, like man, Nico, like, feel sorry for
your girl. But she seems awesome. I like what they're
doing with that character, and I'm yeah, I said mid season,
I feel like she might find out actually about his
secret identity earlier than that, just because she seems like
she's gonna be kind of the Ned of this world.
Hopefully she gets a lot more to work with because
just the version that I've seen her in and like
Midnight Suns or good old Marvel Snap, She's she's a
pretty powerful character as well. So I'm curious how we
get there because she doesn't seem like she has any
supers or anything right now.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, nothing nothing super about her yet.
Speaker 2: I'm just quickly skinning here. We kind of got the
main hitters, really, yeah, yeah, I think we got everything.
I don't really have anything else that I think we
hit the main juice and crackers of what this episode was. Oh,
I completely forgot about that until you just mentioned. Shouts
out out Last Trials. Everybody loves crackers and juice. But uh, yeah,
I kind of just took your baton. I'll let you close.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad you took it because you're You've got
so much more of an insight into Spider Man than
I do myself. And so it gets to the point
where I just I like to listen to the information
that you have because Cindy.
Speaker 3: Moons is her name, correct, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've ever the discussion about that a few many casts
a go, but it's not something that I am well
versed on. And again too, just there's a lot going
on in here that you're catching that. It's just it
ties in with other Spider manisms, and so that's one
of the exciting things for me because my only experience
with Spider Man is Spider Man two in GameCube and
then the original Raymi films and the amazing Spider Man
films and then the Homecoming or the Far from the
Home trilogy.
Speaker 3: I guess that's that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: I don't have a big rich history. I know you
guys did the retro for Spider Man on the feeds.
Speaker 2: I was not on that. You're not on that now,
dare I don't think I was, actually, like, I think
that was when I dicked my high hiatus, but I
was in Alberta at the time, kind of had that
era when they started it. But yeah, I know that's
I think Kyle's on most of them, and then it's
Travis and Dylan. So definitely go check it on the feeds.
A great nineties animated show.
Speaker 1: M hm. So yeah, I don't have a lot of
kind of informed connections with this character. So this is
going to be great because I'm gonna get learn a
lot more about Spider Man.
Speaker 3: So I'm excited. This is gonna be a damn good time.
Speaker 1: So make sure you drop back in and next week
because we'll be back following up with the next two
episodes for the review, and until then, we'll see you
in the search bar.
Speaker 2: I have a good one bye.
