Speaker 1: Hell, Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Trave's told you
on a Monday, December fifteen, twenty twenty five. Oh my goodness,
lots to lots to talk about. Lots happening in the world,
and the geek stuff, lots happening in the world, and
bad stuff. I hope everyone is doing aokay and having
a good time out there. Obviously, Christmas is really just
around the corner, right, hence the hat, hence the ridge sweater.
You know, fifth nine and fifteen days, ten days, that's nuts.
So I hope you're all doing well. Hope you had
a good weekend. Let me just get this out there.
Let's have some fun on a Monday. Let's have to
have some fun on a Monday. Uh. But yeah, we
got lots talk about today. I thought it was just
gonna be a Batman centric show, which we're still going over.
So people, what we're gonna do here, I'm gonna talk
about a few things just at the top here quick plugs.
We'll talk about some bad news. I'm gonna talk about
the Batman stuff on more of a quicker note this time,
and then we will talk about the Vengers doomsday trailer.
Leaks what we're going to do. So if people are
you're watching live. Obviously this is only about an hour
hour ten show, so if you want to add things
in a superchat order and patron because patrons they get
that access as well. We're going to talk about the
Avengers thing in two spaces where we're going to talk
about the idea, because that's been a big debate. Right,
putting four trailers in well, four teasers within the next
four weeks, is that a good idea for the fan
base for online? I'll say where I am on that spectrum,
and then after yes, I've seen the teaser, screen record it,
not sharing it. People don't share it, don't get yourself
striped or anything like that. But so pretty much what
I would assume is, let's say if we talked about
the Avengers trailer for like twenty twenty five minutes, half
that will be just the concept as far as what
they're doing, and then the other half will be the
actual teaser. Because I have seen it, they do a
big reveal, I had no problem watching it because I'm
not seeing Avatar three this weekend and plus the other
ones I would not be going back to see Avatar
a bunch of times I just don't have the time
in my life. If you do, that's great. Enjoy the
things you love. If you want to go see them
all on the big screen, that's great. Even myself seeing
this one, I was like, you know what, because there
was part of me like, oh, four and you know
there's rooms a big on what could it be? Once
I saw it, I said, you know what, cool? Definitely
something big in there, something huge, but not something that's
out of the realm possibility. We talked about that on
the last Weekly Geek. I mean, kirkln. I won't specify what,
but we said, hey, they probably do this, and they
did that and it's a smart idea. But after the
teaser that was great, but did not walk away being like,
oh man, I really wish I would have saw this right.
So if you are love it, hope you love Avatar.
This weekend we will have a review that a review
for that, me and Dylan reviewing Fallout this week. Me
and don't just review the finale for it. Welcome to
Darry de Finite. That's a finale, right, we said that.
Excuse me? Yeah, that going on. There'll be a side
quest this week. There's lots of good stuff on Patreon.
Exclusive episodes. We got brnd Butter which is talking about
our Spotify rap. We got Siglent like Deadly Night retrospective.
There after nine is this weekend. If you want to
call in join our phase to patron up where you
get every episode ad free, our entire backlog and some
exclusive episodes. But you can also call in which will
be fun because we'll be talking I imagine Avengers and
all the stuff. So yeah, we'll be talking about that
Saturday eleven am pst. If you want a phone in,
we got six slots, so do that as of right now.
Someone might drop out, but as right now we got
six lights. But yeah, notification if you are getting DMCA
strike for the Avengers trailer, which makes sense right. So firstly,
I just want to start off. This is just in general, man,
and I'll bring it up here. This is for everybody
just to enjoy life, be good, like you never know
what's gonna happen, man. And yeah, there you a good reminder.
We have the Rise of Skywalker commentary track for Patreon
producers early, and I'll show out those Patreon producers, those
lovely producers who get everything early, even the e Schoos episodes.
Next year, you're getting thirty exclusive episodes in total. Thank
you to Patron producer Aaron Brain, April Darkness, Jack Grant,
Sam Superman, Mike, God Loves Me, sixty nine, Trying to
run Down Cocktail, Clay John no H and Sam Green.
Right now you can get our early Excoos episode of
the Rise Skywalker commentary track. It was a good time.
So man, let's see, so Spops, I might have to
start with the trailer reaction. I might have to put
some let's see trail any minute soon. I don't know,
know Al Gonzalez, I don't know if that's gonna happen,
just because I feel like we'll talk about it if
they're gonna keep what's going on here. But I see
there's a lot of people watching, so we might have
to start with the doomsday thing, and I will uh
maybe I will actually put some time codes in here,
so people, if you're listening, we are gonna switch up.
I'm gonna start this a little beginning here. We will
do Vengers first because that could be longer conversation, and
then I'll talk about Batman as well, just because who
knows how long that goes and you know people are
here alive, so we'll talk about it. It says. The
funny part about this. Yesterday I saw a fake doomsday
teaser super similar to the real one. So I think
it's an I'm Victor situation where someone had the details
of footage and made AI version. Absolutely, that's how I
saw the F four credit scene first. So I saw
it on Twitter the it was an AI version of
that scene, but because it was AI, when, oh, I
haven't been spoiled. And then I saw the movie was
pretty much, you know, barring the I Am Victor stuff, right,
But just to start this out, maybe do a longer
tribue in the future, talk about we got lots of news,
but man, just what a bummer. We've talked about this again. Everyone,
be kind, be good, enjoy your life. If you need help,
go out there and get it for your loved ones
or yourself. Rob Briner, not only did he pass away,
looks like very terrible circumstances, which I'm not getting in
today because it's just a downer. Everyone knows. By now
you can look it up. This guy, You're lucky to
make any films in Hollywood, right with the production anything
You're lucky to make a good movie in Hollywood. This guy,
I mean to read off his filmography, Rob Briner has
multiple people like films that are all time grace, you know,
people that are like this is a phenomenal movie, like
ones that have withstood the test of time that you
see if you can make one movie that when you
get when I get my landmark, like oh, send my
years in history here at the Clonal Theater and they
show a few good Men which he directed. That's in
the current reel. I've seen multiple of his movies in
many roles that is like, you are lucky if you
can get one of those movies. The fact that he
got many. But this is Spinal Chat, which I've not
seen the sequel too. But yeah, he pass and him
and his wife well not pass away where sadly looks
like uh, murdered and just terrible stuff. Man, it's just
just such a shitty thing. Yeah it. I can't say
he's like one of my all time ferite directors, but
appreciate all of the movies he did, Like this is
Spinal Tap to me was a huge footnote for me,
my dad seeing that he introduced me that I think
It's one of the most first parodies I saw. But
Spinal Tap the Sure Thing stand by Me, huge movie
for people my age in that era, when Harry met Sally,
like like, let this run right here, Stan even Spile
Tap Sure Everything I've never actually seen, but Spinal Taps
stand by Me, Princess Bride, when Harry met Sally and
Misery and then a few good men, holy fuck, like
talk about the skill. And then later on he would
do stuff A goes Mississippi and rumor has and bucket
lists and other stuff. But and he just directed Spinal
Tap two, which I've not seen, so I want to see.
I've been trying to wait to watch with my dad.
But that run right there. The fact that even one
of these movies, if he did Spinal Tap, stand by Me,
Princess Bride, Harry met Sally, has really few good men.
Those six movies right there are like legendary, have big
moments and influence film and went across time. Right he
is six of those. He is six of those an
Austin talented actor. I think the last thing I saw him,
like everyone else was Well for Wall Street, phenomenal there.
So I just send thoughts out to fans and friendly.
It doesn't mean much, right, I'm just a little guy
who enjoyed his work but left his footprint in the
community and just man, such a shitty time. So that sucks.
But all right, let's get it in this Avengers Doomsday.
The trailer is out there, it's leaked all this stuff.
As I said at first, I'm talking non spoilers. I'm
not talking about anything about the teaser. I will give
you a full on break a pause so you can
skip ahead, tune out, or skip the timecode. I will
put that in there. So let me put the actual
timecode for myself so I know right now. But so
it came out last week, as I like, oh, when's
it happening, blah blah blah, and then it's like, well,
there's a teaser coming out next week at some point, right,
It's like, okay to me, that always made more sense
Avatar's coming out. You want to link it to that,
so you do that, But now it had come out before.
And then try tr confirmed on Friday that they're doing
four leaks, while actually they are doing four leaks now,
but they're doing four trailers to teaser trailers. This one
was about a minute o nine just to give you
that's only supposed to give you, but to every week
when you go see Avatar. I'm not sure when it's starting.
When it's the Wednesday or the Thursday, there will be
a new teaser I'm not gonna talk about. There is
apparently a rumor of what each is centered on. We'll
get that when we do the spoilers portion there. But
that's been a big debate, right as far as Okay,
you're doing this and a lot of people disappointed. And
this is where I am, right, dude, I guess I'm
not on a I've seen some people be like, this
is disasters, this is dumb, it's leakings. You really want
your first look of this to be out there. I
think this is There's two people that are annoyed by
this the most. It is people like myself that are
content creators. Where for myself, right when I do this episode,
it's better if everyone's seen the trailer and then an
episode comes out. Hey, we're reviewing the trailer and then
boom everyone can click on U boo boom boom, boom boom.
This is a situation where now people will see it sporadically. Right,
some people in a GV have seen it today, some
people see it later on this week. Some people won't
see it for a while. And that's where the same
thing with people that are watching it, just like on
the Outside Listeners podcast, they'll see it later. So I
feel like a lot of people that are I have
a hard time believing people that are content creators when
they talking about being a bad idea. I'm always willing
to hear them out, but it's just is it a
bad idea for them or for you? For me, it's
a bad idea. Stranger things releases on New's even Christmas,
because that's a pain in the ass. Is a bad
idea for them? Probably not, because they probably got some
statistics of families being at home together watching it, people
alone looking for something. It's there, right, And I guess
here's my thing is when no and we didn't know
for sure, right, but no way home. If you remember,
like a few weeks before all those leaks came out, right,
it was the I'm standing on the polls, it was
Will Dafoe and Jamie Fox like a bunch of key
stuff that confirmed everything. And then some trailers. I think
the last three did confirm all the films. But still
it was pretty much at least four to five shots
of Toby, Andrew and Tom so it's like they're in
and even Charlie Cox, Right, it's like they're in this
fucking movie. And that leaked everywhere. Now I'm not saying
they put that out. They could have, right, it could
have been a controlled leak, which companies all the time.
But I'm just saying, just use a leak in general. Right,
Let's say they put this trail on Avatar, you know whatever,
and they wanted no leak whatsoever it's happened. Did it
really hurt Knowing Home? No? What is Knowing Home? Is
it like top five, top six? Let's see all time
box office movies. Let's take a look. I know it's
for sure in the top ten. Uh, let's see Spierman.
Noing Home is number eight at one point six or sorry,
one point nine billion dollars almost two billion. Didn't open
in China, and if it did, it probably could have
done that, so to me, And that's the other argument, right,
So as the content creators, I understand that from a
personal point of view, but that they don't care about
you because we're gonna cover it. No matter what, right
from the people that are like, oh, it's gonna affect it.
Do people really want to see the Yeah, look at
to MacGuire's dick leak, right, Yeah, a great clip from
John camp Ya. But they people like, do people want
to see this footage the way? This way? This is
not the way it's meant to be. This is not
for those people. It to me, it does its job
the same way as the chairs. Where right now on
Twitter it is the number one trend people are talking
about it because now you get a double dose of
you get the hardcore people tweeting about it. Looking for
the trail. That's all was on my timeline was anyone
got a link? Is there a link? Blah blah blah
like and luckily found one pretty easily once it Like,
once I heard it's getting out there, I kind of
know the right people to follow that. I already look
after that person came up boom was there screen recorded?
I locked. I'm not posting anything, but I got on
the phone so I could share even with other GV
members they wanted. But that's the thing where it's like,
the is the sure I just don't think the main
people like my sister who does see the Avengers, right.
She even said, like she asked me earlier on in
the year, she said, what movies do I gonna watch
the ketchup on? I said, well, not really, especially now
after some rumors, Right, But there are people like her
and my mom that they're not gonna go seek out
that leak. They might hear about and be like, oh
cool and text me, but they're not gonna be searching Twitter,
searching Facebook. You know what's gonna happen. The teaser trail
is gonna come out in an HD on their YouTube
and then they'll see it or you know when they'll
see it. And what this is for this is for
the people that are seeing Avatar that kind of know
an Avengers movies coming out but don't know when or
they have no idea. I guarantee you there are millions
of people that do not know that Downy's back for this,
that there's another Avengers X Y and Z right the
same way as there's certain people that did not know
that Tob maguire and Andrew Garfer wasn't that right, that
does not affect it. We especially because there's certain things
that this teaser confirms It's like the Toby and and
Andrew noway home thing we knew were us the people
watching this podcast, that people listening, we knew they were
in there, and we still want to see it and
still loved it. If that affects you your enjoyment, if
you got spoiled, I get that, right, Like I got
spoiled on Luke Dyne and Last Jedi, and that affected
me a little bit going in because I just was
hoping it wasn't true. But I just kind of knew
that going in and that that was a bummer, right,
like Taylor Han Solo. So I get that. But then
there's certain things like Toby Andrew me knowing they're in
there that didn't bug me. I think if I know
certain I think characters being in things or maybe some
certain moments doesn't really bug me. I think it's more
like the big ending stuff for big characters, stuff that
would really bug me, right, because like, sure I knew
Tony Andrew in there, that doesn't mean the movie is
gonna be great. That doesn't mean I didn't know about
the hole Zundaa moment, right, that stuff where it hits
you in the movie, right, So that's the thing where
this teaser in some of the reveals, it's stuff that
we've been talking about for weeks, like talking for months.
So if you're in the discord, if you listen to
the Geek first and say, hey, there's a sea tear
rumor about this, oh look, it's like there's the only
stuff we talked about last newscasts. Be and Kirk like, oh, look,
it's true. So I just it feels like a little
I won't say fake outrage, but it's kind of like
what I'll talk about with the Scoopers too later on
with the Batman stuff, I feel like there's people that
just I don't want to like, I'm not trying to
offend in but I'm not trying to yuck their young
or say like, oh, your loser. It's not that. I
just feel like with the Scoop game, with these trailers,
everything like that, people get just a bit too worked
up in the bit, too animated and heated in a
way where it's just like, one of this stuff really
doesn't matter because it's movies, and two they just don't
think about outside their bubble here. They don't think about
those people that here's Mike, my sister actively a voice
trailer for a movie she knows she wants to see.
It's pretty easy for the general ance to nor one
hundred percent. My Emily would not be seeing the trailers
if I didn't say, like lots or sometimes if the kids,
but I'll say, oh look the trailers will watch it.
I'll gage your interest. Right, there's tons where and I
think there's tons of them too. Where with Emily it's
like her phone might be algorith because like it's me
around talking like I think people. And that's where it's
just like lately and I've talked about this and I'll
talk this Scoopers to, like when I was on vodka
stream and we were talking about certain Scoopers the last time,
and I've said this main time, like when people get
mad certain ones they don't like this, or oh why
do people believe this person? It's just like I guess
I don't really care. That's why we always say with
our audience, hey, this is the news, this is the ranking.
What do we think true or not true? Right? People
that get so worked up on these trails in this
way in the negative way right as far as so
worked up, I don't understand to me, it's doing its job.
It is leaking, it's a conversation point. People are gonna
be talking about it for four weeks straight. That's with
the chairs, right everybody that's like, and I'm something that
really is not much excitement for Doomsday on a big degree.
Of course, as Avengers, there's some characters coming back, but
I think how we've got there has been not good,
and I think the rumors and what this teaser is
kind of confirming what one of the main plots is.
To me, I'm not invested in it. It feels like
I can't say anything because I don't want to spoil something.
It just as of right now, I'm not invested in
what's happening with this movie, right, but I'm still somewhat excited.
I'm still here talk about I am a fan of
this stuff. But I think that for me, they want
to generated because people talk about like, oh, it's Avenger's
gonna be a billion, how can they do it? They
like what Captain Marvel or the Marvel's second lowest MCU
movie of all time. And this is in an era
where Doctor Strange almost made a billion four eleven Thunder,
which Tansville Hate almost made eight hundred million, dead Pool, Wolverine,
spider Man, billion, close to two billion movies. It's not like, Hey,
after COVID, a lot of people check down on Marvel
and we're just as fucked, right, So really desperate. I
think they're desperate to a degree with some of the
movies they're making, but they they know things aren't an
instant winner. And I think that's smart of them to go,
you know what, They could just try to go a lay. Yeah,
it's Avengers, let's not worry about it. I think they're
smart because they also know if they can make this movie.
I've always said, if they can make this movie as
seven out of ten, I think a lot of the
general audience will come back to the Marvel universe and
give it a chance. And I think they're gonna be
smarter in Phase seven or whatever it is. I think
they're gonna be smarter that way and make sure they
don't take a couple of stumbles they did before. Right,
So this is their chance. So I think, to me,
the chairs, people complain with the chairs. That was to
talk to the town the whole day, new name, What
could this be? Who's next? The leaks for the commune?
They're talking about here on hit him. Even GA might
leak like go to them like, oh there's leak trailers
and that kind of add some like oh I'm seeing
something I'm not supposed to. That type of gimmick. For me,
it is creating conversation online. Eventually, these teasers will come out,
you'll see them. They'll still clean up millions of views.
Maybey add a little something in there that wasn't in
the theatrical ones. And then for the people that are
not online, not even like like what Mike said, right,
because I'm not sure, Mike, what does your sister do
she's in the theaters, Like if she's in the theaters
and there's a trailer, like she knows it's for movies
she wants to see. Is she talking to you or
she avoiding it? That's just me being curious. But that's
the thing where there are people that are sitting down avatar.
You know those movies are massive, They have no they're
seeing the trailer and that gets them buzzing and a
different one. Sure, I guess it's just like a different
way to do some new hype. Like they're trying stuff
out right, They got enough fucking characters to do all
these teasers, right, and again this teaser was one oh
nine and it was pretty much two scenes. If that
they like, they are going to generate millions Okay, she
closes her eyes and blocks ears. They're going to generate
millions of impressions, stats, clicks, money, monetization for four weeks
by being in the talk of the town, in the
geek sphere. Right, Super easy to do, and it's a
great idea before Christmas because of someone. There's a fun
aspect I think of if you see Avuitar Avultar Avatar
the second week and you're talking a feel solid and like,
oh I saw the Avengers trailer about this, and like,
oh no, I saw this one. The people that are
not in the know, that's fun. So I just don't
I understand. You might say, ah, this is lame, this
kind of sucks. That I get. But what people are
so vehement like this is a mistake. Look what you did, Elite.
It's online. It looks shitty, Like do we really think
that's gonna hurt the box office? Know what's gonna hurt
the box office is the receep's reception of this movie.
They got opening weekend and they got weekend two. To me,
those are the weekends they got clear as far as
they'll make a lot of money. They could even make
a billion dollars first weekend, like what z Utopia took
just a little over two weeks. A bit Avengers made
a billion in or Endgame made a billion one weekend.
So maybe one won't do that, but maybe it will.
To me, what happens with this is the surprises. So
like what with Doctor Strange, which I think helped with
No Way Home, and then the quality of that I
think I feel like now lots of people aren't a
big fan of Multiverse Men, and I won't say lots
of people. I'll just say there's more people that when
it came out of spoken about how much they didn't
like it at the time. I don't think it mattered
because to me, I think that movie was at least
a seven out of ten I had surprises. No Way
Home to me is further than a seven out of ten.
But to me, it's like a seven out of ten
has surprises. That's why I still think like if Doomsday
and Secret Work can be a seven out of ten
and have surprises and have a good ending as well, well,
that word of mouth will spread and it's just they
clear it right, like, I just don't think it will
negally impact it. Okay, so that's my thoughts there. So
I'm gonna take the first ad break, may take a
drink of water. I am gonna talk about the teaser now,
So if you have no interest, if you're watching live,
you can bounce out. I'll probably take about ten fifteen
minutes and whatnot. I will what should I put up?
I'll put up here. I will put this up. Let
me do the be right back, let me do a
new one here taking the dog out. I'm gonna change.
I'm gonna change this Avengers trailer leak spoilers. So when
this goes up, it's it's it's not I'm not talking
about yet. This is the time to get out here.
If you're watching live and want to listen to the
rest of the show when this is up, that means
I'm gonna be talking about the leak. When it's down,
I'll talk about the Batman Mike. In case you're bouncing
for this part. The twenty twenty six question asked me,
I'm not gonna answer it because in two weeks where
we're gonna record the twenty twenty six preview and I'll
have my at the end epps the top five like
our most anticipate for the year. So I don't want
to spoil that. I feel like, no I need even guess.
I feel you can guess number one. I don't know
if you guess number two, but I feel like you could.
But yeah, I don't want to spoil that. So we're
gonna take our first ad break. I'm gonna take a
drink of water. We're at the twenty two minute mark here.
If you don't want that, bow out, and then we
will talk about the Avengers, and then after that, when
I'm back, we'll talk about Batman. So we'll be right back. Okay,
I hope I've given you enough time. I'm not bringing
anything up on the screen, not bringing a trailer up,
not bringing any images. I don't need the geek first
channel to get completely struck down. So this is the
last warning. If you do not care, if you've seen it,
you're good to go. If you do care, if you're
playing on Senior Avatar, or you don't want to wait,
whatever it may be, bow now, come back when you
have seen Okay, three two one Danos is back. No,
I'm joking. So what I will say is supposedly the
four trailers, which I've seen a lot of scuttle, but
all the four teasers are centering on what is its
cap for this first one, which that's reveal Steve Rodgers
confer which we'll talk about see Rogers four, Doom and
the just a teaser trailer. Right. I'm wondering what they're
gonna do with the first three, if they're eventually gonna
release those or just release the teaser trailer online. I
don't know. I wonder if it's something where they let
this play for a week and then a week after
they play, Okay, the cat one's online, and even at
the end of that trailer, you could do something like
see more teasers online in the theater of the Avatar, right,
so you could do that. I don't know. We'll have
to see what happens, but we'll see if they could
maybe not even release all three of them, right, But
I think the teaser trailers are for sure one they
will release. So this happened. I think I get it
with certain people because I'm not an F four guy,
but I understand if they're your favorite group characters. I
do understand, and I am this way with Doom right,
as far as I still wish they recast King and
they went that route, we got to Doom later. It
does feel like a bit of a rush to Doom.
It feels like it's just thrown together. Downing his doom
is also questionable. We'll see how that plays out, as
bars as the errant is he not it is. I
thought it was gonna be the teams. I thought it
was gonna be SAMs, Avengers, Thunderbolts, F four and then
the Doom one, right or an overall one. The fact
that there is no F four and they are the
prime you know, antagonists, protagonists you know, Combo Doom and
the four specifically Read and Doom. That is something. Now.
Maybe the teaser trailer will touch upon that, but I'm
saying I with the way they're doing it, it makes
more sense. I will put out my condolences for you
F four fans as far as especially think, especially too,
they had this plan already, but when Fantastic four had
the lowest MCU Disney Plus debut, I think they're kind
of like, yeah, you know, we gotta make people care
about that four I'm not saying, don't get me wrong
to give up on them. No, I think obviously is
the biggest film last year. I really like that. That
was my favorite comic movie of the year. So to me,
don't give up on it. Make people care about the
F four. I just think currently what I'd said before
that may come out. I don't think people care about
the four like the comic community does. It is surprising
X Men, I'm not as surprised about. I feel like
you build that that could be surprises. I just feel
like with F four, that is a team they just
introduced and it's a core MCU team now right where
the X Men is still a team of the past.
So I'm more surprised by F four than X Men.
But so we get this teaser we have I can bring.
Let me bring the image so I remember on the
order again, I'm not bringing up the image for the stream,
sorry for people. I do not want I don't know
I want anything bad to happen to me. Uh So
it starts with like a piano theme of the Avengers theme.
That's great, and then you get him pulling up on
a bike. Steve Rodgers is back. Let's see Super mix
is pour one out for every post endgame character that
will get barely an in sacreen time, if any, and
we will talk about that because Mike, this trailer kind
of just confirmed my I think this being the first
one that I'm saying trailer. I know it's the teaser,
but like this being the first one confirmed a lot
of my fears where I am not looking. I'm looking
less forward to it, even though I love this character
and I love the performance of it. But I don't know.
But he pulls up on a bike. It's of the
old house that we're left with the endgame, right where
Peggy is. There's a suit, a thing of him putting
the suit away, So I'm imagining this is roughly after endgame.
We don't know what's happening. I know people have debated
the whole there's this Steve and old Steve and yet
DA and I love. I guess it's just because I'm
on the other side of it, right and chat you
can let me know. But like people have been like, well,
how come with old Steve Winn he tell them about
doomsday and all this stuff happening Again, when you read
what they did with that movie, the writers thought one
way the directors thought another they didn't even have it clear. Now,
could you say that's bad? Maybe, especially because we're doing
a direct sequel to Steve Rodgers. It worked easier when
he was left alone, like, well, we can leave that
up for interpretation of is this time travel? Is this
Aaron Aaron Rodgers? Is this Steve Rodgers who was always
in the MSU as cap went back and he became
an old man? Or is it him in a different multiverse?
To me, it was Chris Rogers, Chris, I'm fucking up
his name all the time, Chris Evan's staying in a multiverse.
I thought that worked better for what they set up
an endgame, and I thought that worked better for the
story and made less messy. Obviously a time travel person,
I understand. I'm not saying there's right or wrong, But
to me, when people, how's this gonna affect Old Steve,
I'm like, well, old Steve's doing his own thing, like
he's in a different sphere right now. But anyway, so
I've always imagined of like imagine in that. That's why
I don't like the time travel thing right as far
as if he goes back, imagine if he goes, yeah,
you know, Hydra, they're all in shield. And if he
kind of lives in this reality, that is the perfect
good reality. Right. If he lives in the universe where
he did save anyone, he stopped Nyalon and like he
knew all this stuff was coming in, he he could
do that, right, And that's my kind of we've heard
this room of like him doing this causes some incursion
or something for to kill or injure Doom and kill
his family, right. I think that's a great way. It's like,
imagine if Steve Rodgers is living in Utopia. Imagine if
he's living in the best reality possible and Doom's living
in the worst. So that's why to me it works
better as far as not, well, he's just a guy
who's standing there is like he's gonna know that certain
people are gonna get killed not do anything about it.
I guess there's a way you could do that, but
I just felt like the time travel the multiverse rules
that say it's set up an end game that does
not match so and we've heard rumors about all this stuff.
But he gets there, he puts the suit away, he
picks up a baby. It is confirmed that him and
Peggy I guess probably Peggy Rodgers now got it on,
had a baby, had a son, he is a father,
and then it just ends with phases of black Steve
Rodgers will turn return in Avengers Doomsday. Honestly, this was
like plot wise, it was just okay, he has a
baby that at some stakes, Right, this teaser is really
nothing if you are like us, if you listen to
these pods, if you're in the scoop game, if you're
listening to any of that stuff. Right, we've heard for
a while, even Deadline, like a couple of years ago,
before they started feeling this report like Rogers is back,
you know for two or Evans was back for like
a two picture deal, right, and Evans was like a
news to me, And this whole time they say news
to me, And even came out again last year, right,
And I still thought he could always come back, especially
dead Pool Wolverine. He already came back for that. It's
like that's easy. Once Danny came back, I think we
all thought the jig is up. They're all coming back
in one way or another, whether they're doing like him,
they're playing villains, whether it's a cameo, multiverse stuff whatever.
This was not surprising, but this is to confirm for
you know, Jimmy two Shoes, who Yeah, exactly right, uh Bluto,
Steve just let Bucky Bee brainwash for another sixty years.
That's my problem is people and said, oh, well, he
went back in time and just didn't do anything. I
just can't believe that Steve Rogers would just sit back
and let all this really terrible stuff happen when he
could change something, right, because they did not specify that
when it's like, oh you change that, something bad could happen.
Steve or Tony did say, like you mess with time,
time messes back with you, so like you can get there.
But they showed in the way their multiverse work that
you're just creating a new timeline, a new spear right
seper Mike says, you could also could also be that
they make the older Steve at the end of end,
gave him a pause or something. Yeah. I don't love that,
because Mike, where I am. I'm I'm prepared for these
films not to be great, So I don't want like
a Force Awakened situation when you watch them. To me,
I still love Force Awakens, but they're like, oh, right,
these things happen. So I think it's kind of similar
to like Rody. Right, if we learn that Rody was
a scrawl for Downy dying, and it's like scrawl Roady
or Scrody as marble Lines calls them hanging out there,
I don't love that. So that's where it's like, I
don't think you're wrong. They could do that because Evans
many times it's like, oh, I could come back to
the MCU, but the whole Captain American thing, I don't
know if I want to do because it's a perfect ending, right,
and here we are less than a decade and it's happening, right,
you could do that. I just really hope they don't,
just for that moment of you want to tell me
about her, No, I don't think I will. You know,
that would be kind of ruined for me. Right, So
they this trailer is to reveal that Steve Rogers is back,
Chris Evans is back, and me and uh Kirkle we're
talking about right because there's heavy rumors about Tobey and
we said, kay, if you're sitting down and say, we're
gonna show for this first teaser, and we thought was
one at that time, right, But for the four, if
we're gonna show one thing, obviously a look of doom
or Downy, Yes, But if you're gonna show one big
hootspum moment, one big juice gasoline moment, what's it gonna be?
What's gonna get people talking? It is Chris Evans the
same way when Downy came back, got people talking whether
this is good or bad? People talk, same thing with me,
whether this is good or bad. It's getting people talking.
For me, it is. It's bad in a sense. It's
bad in the initial phase as far as this is confirmed.
And I agree with you Mike saying I don't think
we get out of this without game ending being ruined
in some degree. I think you're yeah. I think you're
You're correct. I've said this before since this movie has
really since this down anything happened, I'm buckled up for
a Rise of Skywalker situation where checkout our commentary track.
I don't hate everything about that movie. It's not like
one of the worst movies ever. But I think for
the Star Wars universe, for Force Awakens, even Last Jedi,
and maybe we'll have to see the Stars fan base
I think it hurt a lot of things. And I
think with this, this does feel like I saw. This
is not my don't give me scrowgers. Oh my god,
this is not my quote. Somebody brought this up right
as far as I saw, because when I was looking
for the trailer day, when someone said, man, if this
plot line is true, they missed the point of their
own movie and or their their own point and end
game where this is that moment right where I say
Thanos wins, they kill Thanos and they got to go
back to all this tight stuff and the ending before
the Trinity fights Standos and he says, you couldn't deal
with your own failure, and that's brought you back to me.
And that's what this screams. Right. I've said this before
when it was rumored, and now it's confirmed. The screams
leftovers now. And then here's the two things. Maybe Steve
isn't a main character. I bet he is, but maybe
he's not. Maybe Doom kills him right away and then
we move on. Then that sucks as well. Just have
Steve be empty, like if Steve's gonna if Captain America
or Chris Evans is gonna make a cameo. I would
rather not kill off Johnny Storm or make him do
evil cap and do something with that. If it's gonna
be something just very quick, leave Steve Rodgers alone. So
that's why I don't think it's gonna be some very
quick And that's where the flip of that is. Okay,
it is him being a main character. This just sucks
in that way where it just it really feels like
And this is where I said, when people get heated,
I'm having fun. I'm gonna heat it at the end
of the day. Is it really gonna bug me that
phase four to six maybe meant nothing. No, not really.
I'm talking when we're having fun geek conversations, not like
how people get online. They make it the whole personality
of like, hey James Gunn, I hate Jeff Snyder, and
all they do is tweet about I had unfollow people
this week because it's like, man, like, do something else.
I will not tweet about this stuff other than to
promote the show. I'm not gonna be like, oh, they're
making this big mistake. I on occasion do I did
with wit this week because I usually don't watch full
of shows, and I was just like so bad baffled.
Check out the gimmick goes so baffled by this finish
for a match, right, I was like, okay, but like
to me, you're fine to tweet something out opinions, that's okay.
It's when people have like three to four tweets in
a row, it's like, man, now it's time. I hate
saying the touch grassing because it's a cliche, but go
out there, breathe some air. So at the end of
the day, if they screw up endgame in this, I'm
not gonna like, ah, you know what, this sucks, but
I will move on. And every time I talk about
this ago that really sucks. They really fumbled there. But
alas so to me, is it really like, man, I
wasted my time with Phase four to six. Nah, I
had fun time at the Boys. It was a journey.
Do I wish it was better? Sure? But in this
sphere of looking at it critically, yes, it feels like
that if Steve is a main character, it feels very
much like and we've heard this before, and I feel
like them leading with Steve with this trailer is that
it feels like they they tapped out. They tapped out
on their characters that they created here, and I'm not
saying they won't be in here, but Sunghi the Thunderbolt's
fantastic for Moonnight anybody else. It just feels like man. People,
And even these rumors with Top before right of rumors
of them recasting Steve Rodgers and Tony Stark, to me,
that's them missing the point. People didn't know fucking Guardians.
People didn't know Captain Marvel. People didn't know it. Man.
But you made great movies or stories, or you know,
to a second appeal, you made good enough stories that
they go invest in these characters. You can make any
character become investable. You could these grinch socks that I'm
wearing right now. You could make a billion dollar movie
if you play your cards right a lot harder. Now.
It is right because the box offs COVID streaming. But
I'm just saying that, and it doesn't. It's not universal. Right,
We've seen great stories. The movie's bomb. I'm not saying
because they hate when people say that, like you just
gotta make a great movie. No, not that, but I
think we saw multiple times that the audience was locked
in and they made multiple mediocre to bad movies or
show in these phases, and I think they blame it
on well, people just don't like these new characters. So
let's get the old ones back and let's give down
a bunch of money. That's yeah, there you go. Put
a black panther made a billion exactly like, and that's
in the height of Marvel, right sure, but still, why
aren't they in the heart like the height of Marvel.
That's on them. Whatever it is, Disney, Bob Iger, Bob, Jacob,
Givin Fike, whatever decisions and a group effort, that's on them.
They have the audience on the ride. And then at
one point when they they would get in the cart
for the roller course and go wooh up the side down,
and when they say you want to go again, they
go yeah. You know what eventually happened, They went, I'm
good you lost them, you lost some of them, right,
So that's where for me, this is clearly just to
get back those people that they lost. Let's get Downy back,
Let's get Steve back. He's gonna be a main character.
Yahda dadda da. I think a lot of the newer
characters are at risk. I think a lot. And it's
tough too, right, when like I love Thunderbolts, when you
look at that box office, it's hard to justify that.
I think people did check out and they're not giving
Marvel chances, and why would they go back in New
Thunderbolts too, when they'll be like, let's do x Men,
let's do a new Tony Stark, let's do new Seve Rogers.
Because I do think those characters are people that they
will give a chance to again. But to me, that's
that makes me more worried for the next phase phase seven,
eight nine, as far as okay, so if these also suck,
you know, you can just disregard these and throw these
out right. So it is disappointing. Now, my hope is
that they tie it all together, and I'm wrong. The
Russos were great at that. I've said this before. Even
an endgame, a movie like thor Dark World, which I
had no interest in, was the lowest tier in the MSU.
At one point, they wrote that in and made it work.
They're like, oh this, even this thing that everyone kind
of dogs on, they made it vital. I don't think
they can do that with how many projects they have
now with these, but maybe there is a way to
do these things and land the plane safely. Right, I
think was Rising Skywalker. The way they land the plane.
The plane was damaged and you could never fly that
plane again. And I've said this before. If this movie
or Secret Wars is a Rise of Skywalker situation, I
think a lot of this is people giving it a
second chance. I'm not saying in droves they will come back,
but I think people that are lapsed MCU fans will
give it a second chance. If these movies don't hit,
fool me wants to shame on you fool me twice,
can't get fooled again. You know, I'm taking some warrior
and just around the corner, you got DCU kicking up.
You got this stuff. It's something where people could move
somewhere else, right, Sera Mic says, could also be a
situation where Secret Wars does worse than Dooms, say, like
Star War sequels absolutely right, and like even like for you, Mike, right,
like like we could and because you even say like
the second part of the play. But that's where I
feel that even if it's word of mouth, we can
had the strong stuff. But if let's say Doomsday gets
bad word of mouth, people will I don't flink flocked
Secret Wars. They still have the ace in the car
that I've always said. They'll make a fucking poster a
Hugh Jackman Toe Maguire standing side by side, and it's
a billion, right technically even with the Star Wars sequels,
they kept going down, but they still made a billion, right,
Still massive successes, even though especially why Skywalker very expensive.
To me, it's this is all about the retention. It's yeah,
I feel like these movies are baked and if none
of if neither of these movies one of the other
does not make a billion, then they're cooked. Then they're
in big trouble. Doesn't know however it is, then there
is an issue. There is like even these big head
honchoess where you're bringing back so many people. If one
of these movies doesn't make it, you're in big trouble
and you gotta hope these movies are great, right, But
to me, this is more of a retention play where
you want to do a big thing, maybe reset everything,
get the money, but you want to make people feel
like they love Marvel again. And if they do, as
I've said this before, Spider Man, you're hitting with sperm boom.
We've heard about Doctor Stranger, Black Panther three. Those are
stronger franchises. Boom boom, X Men around the Corner Boom.
They will start leading with just their big things. That's
why we've heard for like rumors of lots of shows
and movies going away because they don't have faith in right.
So I will see I'm gonna hope. Obviously the Russos
have had a tough time with their movies that are
not on MSU, but the MC movies, they've delivered something
old timers right, And I think as a teaser taking
myself out of his as a teaser, and if you're
just excited to see see Rogers back, I think it's
really good. He pulls up. You got the Avengers team,
you get the theme of him put in the suit away.
He has a child, way more stakes to lose. This
time you can see him and pay you on a
happy ending and you go, Okay, what's gonna happen when
this character gets back in the fold? Right? People that
don't care that Sam's gonna take a back seat, they're
just happy to see Steve. People at me is like, oh,
I was excited to see what they do Sam, we
didn't get to do much. Hey, we did fucking win
a soldier, waited a long time, got a very mediocre movie,
and that was it. So yeah, it to me, I'm
this is not get me excited for it, obviously. Now
it's confirmation of stelf we've heard going on. I think
this is more so just a big Hey Steve Rogers
is back. That's gonna get people talking, people like Chris Evans.
I'm Chris Evans. I'm sure kind of this is I'm
not saying needs a hit, but like obviously, the last
few movies hasn't been anything of matenance far as the
box officer critically, So I think this helps out. But again,
it's gonna be a mistake that I'll come back if
they come back and this sucks, I don't think they
care that much Downy Evans, but they'll be a little
bit that would make me like egg on your face? Right,
you kind of you win out right, It's that idea
of people that retire winning the super Bowl and it's
like you could go back and win another one. But
if you have a very awful season, does that stick
with you? Right? I don't know, And I think it
each to own right, because if Donney's gonna pay fifty million,
maybe he doesn't give a single fuck. Saying with Chris Evans,
if he's getting paid twenty five three, maybe he's gonna
give a single fuck if this movie sucks, Like, yeah,
I'm happy to buy five more houses. I'm happy Chris
Anders had a kid. I'm happy to be able to
support them, and they're grand shown right. Tons of people
do that. Tons of people just accept the gig because
I don't care. It's money, and they might say this
stuff in the future if like, oh well it's you know,
it was such a good way to ending. It's so perfect.
I don't know if I could ever go back Downey
said the same thing on Rogan. He went back Evans
and said the same thing multiple times. He went back,
So we'll see, we're gonna be covering these I did
say I guess at the beginning. I forgot to say
that next week, the tras told yous, I don't know
if they'll be happening, because I will be because what's
happening next week is I already Christmas week or about
one more? Let me go back here, my god, next
week is Christmas, So I will be doing a review
of Stranger Things because I'll see that at some point
there's some downtime between CHRISP Day and Boxing Day. So
that's what I'll say is, as of now, don't expect
a Travis told you. It's one of those things that
if because I might be traveling, I don't know the
date yet. If I'm home, I likely would do it,
but i'd say next week I'll probably be off. But
there's other content that's coming out other than Stranger Things.
I will review that. So uh yeah, that is the
Doomsday talk. Yeah, it's it's gonna be interesting to see.
I think overall, I think it's a fun idea. I
get why they're doing it. They're trying to drop the hype.
I understand completely all the moves. Now I'll have to
see the actual quality. Getting Steve Rodgers out there is
a big thing people that seeing Avenger or seeing Avatur
I have no idea about that. Man is at a
big pop moment, and uh yeah, we'll see what happens.
So let's end it here for the Avengers. So, yes,
talking Doomsday is over. I'm taking the spoiler thing down.
Let's get that and I'll talk about Batman and then
we're gonna get out of here if I can not
open up the wrong tab. But thank you everyone, if
you did just watch for this, very much appreciate it
if you like what I did. As of right now
until January, I'm doing the show twice a week, Monday
and Wednesday, usually eleven pm or eleven am PSD. Obviously
next week because Christmas be taking the day off. And
then yeah, I think we'll run some surveys and let
me know if you like this show, if you like
watching it, tell me how much you watch it. Everything
like that. I want to gauge. I'm not confirming the I'm
gonna be still doing two a week come to New Year,
but we'll see. And then if not, we're gonna get
the boys, because I don't think any of them will
watch these trails. But we're gonna be talking Avengers, lead
up the trailers, the movie, all that jazz, and we
cover all this stuff. So yeah, and speaking of the Batman.
So there's where there's two things I had to do
here right where I've said to you guys, I had
a couple of days off last week. Is my daughter's
nutcracker that takes up a lot of time, so a
lot of time on the phone, or like I'll go
watch the nut Crackers them in the theater for three hours.
So when I was in the theater for the first
and three hours, all this stuff kind of broke and
I just pulled my phone, like, oh man, why the
Brad Pitt rumors? Whose Scar was playing? All this stuff?
So I was playing catchup, and the second day happened
where I wasn't watching the show, but I was watching Twins.
Lot of stuff happened where Gunn's going on one of
those debunka thons right where he's saying everything right, So
I'll just give you what the the scoops were, which
multiple people put out there, and obviously there's one person
put out the main stuff, and gun didn't dispute any
of that, right, but whoa excuse me? So we were
talking about who's Scar Joe gonna play? Right? What's happening?
Is it andre at Boemon? Is it Vicky Ville? Is
there poison Ivy? All that type of stuff, right, And
I said that there were some signs of phantasm. Really
wanted to be phantasm, but is it gonna be? I
didn't want to get overly excited and think it was
fantasm and as of right now, it could not be right.
And here's my point with right now, where most time
on the show, when I'm giving the guys news because
if I say, Justin Krohll broke this news because they
like I try nowadays that I definitely am online, but
I try to pick times whether I am like if
I take the butt, so if I have downtime, if
I had the bus, or if I'm a doctor's pointment
just in there, Yeah, that's what I'm gonna be scrolling Twitter,
uh most times, or if it's during I've said before,
usually like like this morning was because it's trailer, or
like most time is if I'm watching wrestling, because follow
off restling people in there there's fun conversations and get
to see the kind of people's reactions are to stuff.
But nowadays I try to take breaks from I try
to literally put the phone somewhere else, go away from it.
I have notifications on certain pages, so if it's news
or stuff that I'm interested in, I go okay, cool,
so I don't have to just scroll find the news
right and luckily too, I've said this before. That's why
I hang on the Discord a lot because the Discord
drops a lot of news in there and join our
discord tons of conversation about all this stuff. Right, So
for me it was the thing I got bombarded with
the news, and then I got bombarded with people's reaction
to gun to bunkiness, right, and dyl and Tarya Kirkland
are even more so I feed them news. They're they're
linked into the community, but they don't know the certain
scoopers or the A tier. They might if I try
to say something now, they might go, oh, that kind
of sounds familiar. But if I say, hey, Justin Kroll
report this news. You know Boris can't report this news.
Jess Snyer report this news. Daniel Rpkert report this news,
they don't know. So that's why I'm the news. We
do a to C tire right now. Jess Snyer is
the one that broke this news that will tumble the
Batman stuff. And I put him in the beat here.
Some people might not like that, but talk about Doomsday
like he's the guy to put out Danny's playing doctor Doom.
And then it was confirmed a week later he put
out the I'm talking about recent scooz right, and he
put out the all They're gonna have three Star Wars
films at celebration, and that's that they did that, right.
My point is not too because I watched the hot
mic that he does. I watch it because I'm a
fan of John Roka. John Roku a couple of years
ago he hosted our Marvel Alliance for Extra Life. I
love that he was great to He didn't have to
he didn't like I didn't do anything, didn't pay him anything.
I never guessed on a show because like he's a
bigger guy than me, Like he didn't have to do anything,
and he was very nice, like he just knows that
I was a fan. We've talked a couple of times
and I says, hey, could you do me a favor?
He took like an hour and half time to do
that was very grateful, and I've been a fan of
I when I started getting too podcasting was like most people,
Kevin Smith, but it was Kevin Smith, Campia, the Schmos
Collider and Roku kind of came along with that, right,
and those are kind of same people. I listened to you,
though I don't listen to the podcast that much now.
I listened to them and my friends. So I'll listen
to off c and one on Gay. I listened to
Ben Onreelo Anarchy, I listened to Dave la Vodka stream.
And I'm not saying every week, but when it's topics I
like or whatnot, and sometimes there's something like I just
can't get to right. But now it's like a few
of those old people, and then some people sprinkle in
like a amiral. So there's people I have, but there's
also people that used to listen to that have gone away,
whether I don't enjoy their content anymore, whether it's the
type of content they cover, or just the person they've become.
But that's where it's like, okay, right. So, and I've
talked about on Vogus stream where there's a lot of
people with the Snyder isms that hey, Jeff Snyder, right.
And there's some people that I follow that either was
too much it's like okay, I met you, but like
you gotta you gotta stop, or like I did unfollow
a couple uh because it was the both of defending
Gunner Schnyder. We're in a situation with the both. Where
I'm saying is it's not me defending Snyder and the scoop.
It's what my problem is with people, how they handle
scoops is because they don't like said individual. It is
it's uh literacy. Are media a literacy where because they
don't like said person, everything is wrong. I'm not saying
Jeff Snyder doesn't get a lot wrong. He is wrong
a lot of times. I'm not saying he is. You
can't take in the bank like a THHR or Dead
Thought anything like that. Yeah, damn roll is great, especially
if a box office says super bad, like absolutely, I
love his reviews. That was another one I watch back
in the day. It was screen Junkies and obviously lots
of bad shit went there and it disbanded. Right, So
that's I mean, Like, there's people I don't listen to
because I do on either content or a lot of
bad stuff happen and digress. But Dan Merle he's great,
right So for me, I guess what I get annoyed
by is people it's just the blind, like all this
guy always has to be wrong. Jess Snyder has me
blocked on Twitter because years ago I follow him because
of a shmowdown and I talked to him a little
about suff and I think I made a joke about
like the Patriots cheating and then block and that's fine,
he can do whatever. I'm not a Snyder fan. If
Snyder was doing his own podcast, I would not be listening.
He just happens to be And I do think him
and Roka have good chemistry. And I you know, so
like I don't like I don't hate any of these
like Scooper on that, because like if I hate somebody,
I just can't like listen per se, Right, So I
guess I don't hate Snyder. I don't like, like enjoy
or like Snyder, but I like Roka and they have
a good chemistry. And they talked about inside news stuff
and there's tons of stuff that they both say they go,
I disagree with, right, So he had put that out there,
and then Gunna had been debunking a bunch right, and
people go, oh, I love when they debunk this. And
that's where for me, we just talk about the just
the news. As far as this is the ranking, this
is the news. What do you think? And I'm just
putting this out there for any of my friends that listen.
If you get this heated about that Scooper or you
get this heated about James Gunn because James Gunn is
the opposite right or the other side where people say, oh,
well he said this. There's been so many times where
Gunn has lied or just said things that weren't exactly true, right,
And it's fine, it's not a thing for me. It's
just the other way. He was like, well, I'm not
gonna believe it until James Gunn says something, and then
he says something like see there it is okay. So
like with Ultraman when he said Ultraman's on this movie,
Ultramat was in the fucking movie. Like that's the thing
that there's countless times where he'll say things that contradict himself.
Whether it is he is lying or whether he is mistaken,
whatever it is, I don't care. But it's when we're
talking in as like a point of view where it's like, hey,
I can be believe this person as much as like
a certain percentage because they've said X, Y and Z
and they've been wrong with X, Y and Z. And
all I'm saying is when I because I think if
I was happening live, it was fine. But what I
did is because the news I got on there scrolled
because I hadn't been on the phone for about four hours,
scrolled and it was a combo of all this stuff
and it was like all you like, you get two
worked up. This is supposed to be fun, entertainment, movie news.
I guess if there's a scrupy or hate, I guess
I understand. But unless he personally did something to you,
I don't understand that. Unless James Gunn personally did something
to you, I don't understand it. It's just like if
you don't mute them and don't talk about them, don't
talk about that. It's like what I said about dot anything, right,
you can occasional top of it. I did this week.
I have one negative tweet and then I had a
tweet propleone in that show that was positive, right, but
it was about the d K funishes. But because I
don't watch I've been there, which was like what twenty
thirteen twelve where it's just like your tweet and you're mad,
and that's just like there's not really much of a
point too, because the conversations are better here, and it
doesn't do good for your life because you just go right,
this is just entertainment and you can't get worked up.
I guess for me, it's just like there's people that
are similar to my age or older that are getting
so worked up, and I'm just like, haven't we outgrown this?
Isn't this the time because you just realize, oh, this
is just fictional stuff. He doesn't doesn't really bug me
because there's scoopers that, yeah, are f't here and they
put up the most shit. I just laugh or we
have fun with it. Or even James Gun when he
says something, it's like, I don't think that's really true
at all, but people get so worked up. So that's
all I'm saying is if any listen, you don't you
don't do that, right, And then let's say I have
high Ground says Gun isn't trying to spoil the movie.
He isn't. So Gun isn't trying to spoil the movie.
He isn't lying. He asn't gonna say anything though, high Ground, right,
and even as I love like what he said with
these tweets, right like when he said, like, you know,
I don't address silly rumors anymore, and then it was
three paragraphs do I need to make because anybody that
hates Jamee Gunn can make a ten minute video about
like look at him fucking lying. Look at this he
said he wouldn't talk about. But here's a bunch of paragraphs.
I just laugh and go, Okay. If I bump into
people and they say, well, I gotta hear from James
Gun's mouth. So there are so many examples of why
that does not work for me. And that's fine. I
don't care. James makes a lot of movies. I like,
that's great, but to get so worked up and that's
where for me, it's like he'sn't gonna say anything. So
that idea is like, well, he wants to debunk it,
but he's a wanna to spoil the movie. He almost
spoils it in a sense of not saying like saying
something you know or it just like I said with
the Ultraman thing, it just it adds nothing to it
because it just makes him look kind of bad. Right,
So that's all I would say to him. It's like,
you don't gotta say anything, right, I think there's certain
things you can say. Yes, I just think that's the
thing where it's just I don't know, so I it's strange,
but as obsessed to you and your mark or a
friend are going to self watch again. And that's the thing.
It's like, that's what you gotta do is vote with
your wall. Right, Because I've said this before where occasionally
I will tweet about the fed Noa's w B. But
as I learned and people have brought himeber was there's
some podcast back and they broke that down when I
didn't think about right when I was younger, Like analytics
and tweets, it doesn't matter if something is negative. It's
like if you tweet it, they're getting any money off
that they're prospering. So it's like, Okay, if I don't
support this company, you don't watch them weekly, I'm rarely
gonna talk about it. And then when I do, if
you look at my non promotion WW tweets, probably the
last time was probably Summer Slime when they brought back
to guy who's maybe allegedly doing sexual misconduct. Right, And
I'm fine to put my neck out there and say like, hey,
this really sucks, you know, but it's not like I
did not make it my personality for months to tweet about.
It's like you got to go away from that point right.
So for people that don't like said any Scooper, you
might not like them, but just let it go. And
especially if some of them are right. Right. That's the
thing where it's just like they say these things and
they try to parade like, look, they've got all this
stuff wrong, but then they can still get something right.
I'm not saying like, hold the fucking candle to him,
be like, oh, they're the god to your Scooper. No,
and it's coming from somebody that's not like a justin
r fans, just like calm down that. And same thing
with Gunn. He's multiple times told this truth I'll say,
not lie, mistruth or he did diversions. So that's why
it's like when you say wall it's gone or nothing,
No it's not. It's not either way. So he debunked
the brainiac things supposed with da Batista being the front runner.
There was a report which that and that's how what
I think what bugs me too is when I see
my friends do this where they with this any Scooper right,
they go, oh, this Scooper is wrong again, fucking idiot,
And then when the source of the rumors not them,
it's like you just make yourself look kind of dumb, right,
you just and I've been there before, right, I did
this yesterday on The Gimmick. I said this that Spuffs
and David I got fooled by a Parry account of
a wrestler tweeting stuff, and I brought up on the
Gimmicks saying, man, they're between the stuff. I don't like that.
That's kind of shitty. And I had would have to
redact that. I'm not gonna go edit ou because I
would always say that. So that's fine as you get
fool and you go, oh, you know what, that's okay.
But I see a lot of people that don't do that.
They won't be like, oh I got wrong. It's like
I'll see in the comments someone say oh, actually this
was the case. This is the case, and they're not
saying anything. They just want to dunk on that person, right,
And that's where it's like, okay, now I take you
less seriously and you're my friends. It's just people. Well,
because I think it's because when I saw the Batman
news on the Saturday and then the debunka thone from
Gun on the Sunday, and I both saw them in
just reduced tweet tweet tweetweet after another of catching up.
It was like, man, people are too fired up. But
this is why I'm happy that I put the phone
down a little bit. So yeah, I'm you know that.
That's where I don't know why I want to talk
about it. It was just like my experience of seeing it.
But we got well, I got fifteen more minutes, so
let's talk about this now, right. So I guess the
one thing that Gun did debunk was someone had put
out that there's two front runners, which is like, I
guess it's just like, I guess two front runners makes sense.
It's just weird that you feel like someone has to
be the front right but for Batista and then or
for Brainiac. One person dude put out Patista. Another said
that that's the thing. Uh he said that, Okay, he
never said he's like, I never said Brainiac was in
the movie. You don't need to say that. He said
he was doing because Batista is his friend. I guess
I and maybe I'm wrong. This is where I completely
say I'm naive. Maybe there's a situation. I gotta take
this sweater off. It's hot. I like wearing the Christmas gear. Gimmick,
but whatever. Maybe there's a situation where Big Dave Batista
the Animal Right, he's on social media and he's just
getting blown up about these fucking brainiac tweets and he messes,
oh sorry, he messes his gun and Gun's like, you
know what, I'll send out a tweet. I'll calm the
people town and tell them it's not you. I don't
really do this anymore. And you know what, And this
is where I'll say on record, if he does that,
that's a great friend. If he's like I said, I'll
talk about these rumors, but if it's annoying you, I'm
gonna do that. I don't think Batista did that. It's
just what I think. I don't think he's like a
looking like people are talking to me about Brainiac, you
should say something. But he said, well, because it's my friend,
I'm gonna debunk this one, okay, And he says, hey,
Batista's not Brainiac. I never said Brainiac was in the movie.
I have ideas for Batista in the DCU great. I
think Patisa as Brainiac I think would be fantastic. I
think it is obviously he would be fantastic. Batista's under
rated actor. I don't think he even needed to say that.
As far as like, unless Patisa's in the movie, right,
I would just said Batista's not in this movie, but
I have other ideas. But maybe he is. Maybe there's
another right. So that's where it gets tricky where you
answer these things. But I digress. He did that fine,
the Batman stuff, though, much to other people's point on
the Scooper side defending it, he didn't say anything about
that stuff right, where with Robin there was that room.
But Robin he did come out and say that's not true,
and we don't know if it is true, right, So
the rumors were that also. We talked all about this,
to go way back to the beginning. Scargro is reportedly
playing Guild the Dent, who I think has a different
name like Guild the Gold or something before she becomes
a Dent. Right, I'm gonna try not to do spoilers,
But how should I tackle this? I guess I'll say
that to the very end it won't be spoilers. But
and then the other thing was, which to me is
the biggest no dub? But is they're casting Harvey Dent?
They no. Scooper has said two Face, but they're casting
Harvey Dent. Oh excuse me. The casting Harvey Dent. To me,
it's like you had a da in the Batman and
then you killed that da off. Clearly there is an
open spot for the Harvey Dent like that felt like
even if it's not two face, it felt like a
setup of like Harvey Dent's me in, so no dub.
And then we had heard over the weekend or I
think it was like the Friday Thursdays that Brad Pitt
was rumored to be in this movie, right could it be?
And it's Snyer's the first one that put that out.
And then this is the thing too that people because
this is where it's just the media literacy, right. He
put that out there as not he said he said
as an uncredible source. But someone did tell me that
they were talking Brad Pitt, hard reported. Next they say
that's not the case, but did confirm that they had talks.
So even though the Brad pit thing doesn't happen, a
bunch of people dunk on Snyer because like, oh he
got wrong, no Brad Pitt. But then Esther reporters will say, oh, well,
they were talking to for months, it didn't work out,
and now the rumor's just scheduling. It sounds like with
Stone it was money. Sounded like with Pitt was scheduling, right.
So that's where it's just like, that's why I don't
even tweet about it, or at least like walk it
back and be like okay, like when people do the
dunking on anybody. But it's not true. It's it's very
like political type of stuff, right, where people just lie
to make their point. It's fucking weird stuff people are
like online does suck. It's you can't say completely right,
because you can see good stories and things like us
raising twenty k for Extra Life. We can never do
that without social media, so there is good things about it.
But it's just it's a weird fucking place, man. That's
why I try to only nowadays most other having some fun,
I usually just promote what's going on with Geek first,
or like the Extra Life or projects. Right, So the
rumor was he was gonna be playing I can't remember
that even his dad's name, but he's even playing Harvey
Dent's dad, who is like an abusive, sixty year old
drunk like stuff like that bad relationship with the father, right,
and which I think could play in good with Bruce.
We don't know if Bruce and Harvey would be friends,
but it's this way of Hey, Bruce lost his parents
and Harvey has his dad, but his dad's piece of shit,
so it doesn't matter that his dad's alive. He might
wish his dad's dead, right, And it sounds like forst
scheduling or for whatever reason, Pitt didn't get that role
or didn't accept that role. So that's the rumor right
now that they are casting three roles. That they're casting Gilda,
which obviously sounds it's gonna be scar Joe, They're casting
Harvey Dent, which there's no names on there, and then
they're casting his father, which obviously sounds like the Dents
have a big thing to do with it. People are
talking about The Long Halloween because Gilda Dent has a
big story there. That's all say, Right, it has a
big story, and I'll just say the idea of a
love interest that turned villainous, who we heard a couple
of weeks ago for this character fits that story. So
it's like, okay for me, I want fatasm. I never
thought it was gonna happen. I saw there was some redcrumbs,
didn't thing it was gonna happen, So I wasn't. I
was disappointment, not overly disappointed. Here's the thing where I
understand where it's like the Steve Rogerson I just talked
about and uh uh with the endgame and uh with
uh in Finny warn if they were to bring that
character back, right, not saying they have brought the character back,
but if they were to with it, I'm in like
that's a negative for me. There's people that when this
news broke, I saw tons of people. No I'm like
a shitty way, but just tons of people that felt
like it was underwhelming. And even the chat like I
discorded had a couple of people It's like, ah, like
cause take out TV shows and animation alone and video
games in just the movies in thirty years between Batman Forever, Uh,
Dark Knight and now this, three times Harvey Dent has
been in a villain or a character right when. That's
why I've always said when people joke or they kind
of dunk on making more Batman movies and what more
like I can't remember who I think it was co
when he said Oh, like you've done like what he
said some quote I'm gonna completely paraphrase, right, I'm not
trying to nunckle him, but he just said, like, oh,
there's been so much already. Are almost all of it's
been done with Batman? How do he make it new? No,
it hasn't. In my opinion, there's so much with Bruce
Wayne as a character Batman you have, Like I feel
like the movies have just slightly touched upon how Bruce
Wayne could almost be listed as an addict with that
Batman soon being Batman right, and with characters black Mask,
a fucking scarface, Professor Pig even like more fans. And
that's the thing. There's characters that they've done ros Al Ghoul, Killer,
Killer Killer, Kroc Bane. They've not done the fantastical versions.
Like there's so much with Batman you could do, so
I understand why the initial reaction is just kind of like, oh,
we could have Andrea Boma, which we shouldn't have fancast,
but still we could have had her. And it's just
Harvey Dent's wife, you know, And it's like, oh, all
these talks of who the characters would be Court of Ows,
which is new Hush all this stuff. Oh, it's just
Harvey Dent, now I get. I guess I'll continue on.
I guess it hasn't been confirmed that there's more villains. Right,
two things, I guess back before I close off the
or before I run away from the disappointment thing. I
get that. I understand, Like I said, multiple iterations of
the character in a short amount of time, like sure,
like thirty is not that long for movies and TV shows, right,
being adapted For me, I'm in a situation where I'm
sure some people are with the Russos and with Marvel
in general still like I trust them, they're gonna do great.
I'm that way with Matt Reason until I get a
film that I do not enjoy. Right, take fam Boy Clay,
check them out. He's on our podcast now we're going
Star Wars. Alliance always has some hot takes. We rarely agree.
But where I and he did not like Reeze Batman, right,
so I can see from his point of view of
you get this, like I already didn't like that Breeze
Batman movie, and now it's two face again, AH need
to be sold of it? Right Where I loved that
Batman movie I could say it's the best Batman movie.
I trust Reeves because that also let the Right One
in or the Apes movie. So I have so much
game tape where it's like, until I get a bad
movie from Reeves, I'm gonna trust them. Is it my
first pick? No, do we need to do Harvey Dent again?
I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think
Harvey Dent even then, though, I guess like there's things
that they've done in the comics that they've not done
with Harvey in the movies, right, even them being good
friends him and Bruce, So there's stuff you can do.
It's just there's definitely more on the board that I
was hoping he would go. Right. I definitely always knew
Dent would be in here. I thought they were the
same way Dent was set up. I thought it was
being like hush with the Elliott stuff. Right. Mike says,
it's not like the Riddler was obscure character either. It's
all about how you adapt and make him feel unique.
So I agree to a point, Mike, But I think
the thing with me is like, obviously there's two versions.
I love the Jim Carrey Batman forever performance in a
fun way, but as an adaptation, A Riddler not a
fan right, if you just look at movies, it's just that,
and it's just Paul Dano, the great Paul Dano, and
what they did that forever didn't do. They did want
a serious Riddler that was a big threat. And they
did do a new adaptation which was like a jigsaw Riddler,
a John Doe seven. Right. So that's the only pushback
I'd give is at least with two Face and Harvey,
you got Dark Knight, which was a very serious interpretation. Right,
Riddler was still lacking that from a movie point of view.
But you're right, that is a thing, and that's where
I'm wondering. So in that sense, I trust Matt Reeves.
It's not my first choice. I would have love Matt Reeves,
but to me, if him and Matt Thomson think that's
the right story, in trust in Matt Reeves, I will
do so. Now as far as the what I've wonder
with the marketing and this character in like the long
Halloween aspect, I think that I've seen so many people
even that was anything, right. I saw a tweets like,
oh it's Snyder says, it's heavily inspired. I listened to
the podcast and he even clarified, like I just said that
they were taking elements, But the internet ran with that
right and said always gonna be wrong again because probably
Guilda Dent has a big storyline there, but a lot
of people like Carmine or Alberto, a lot of characters
from Long Halloween are off the board, So I think
it's just going to adapt certain elements of the Dents
there and maybe other stuff. Sure, would I love it
to be twelve months the Long Christmas because they did Halloween.
Would I love to be a twelve month story? And
we get a segment where Barry Keegan has a airplane
like a mini helicopter, and Batman is on tauf of
it trying to get him during Christmas. Fuck yeah, imagine
Barry Kegan's Joker gone at Christmas, Like that'd be fun.
I don't think that's happening. But then one of the
last few panels of that book, what happens with a
bunch of the villains that I can see that I
can see? Let's see? Said Sam says, not sure if
audio issues on your end are a mind I let's see.
Let me. Take a look, you're scaring me, sir hopefull
I'm good. I think that's youo because my MIC's working
and says I'm the right mic, So I'm sorry. If
anyone else chat, let me know. But with Long Halloween,
it ends in a way where it's like, oh, that
makes sense, So I think it's like most stories, Mike
has no issues here, so Sam, it might be your
connection or something. So always refreshed or off so you
can check back up the feeds after they'll be the
audio version. But with Long Halloween, I think they're just
gonna take portions of it, same way as Dark Knight
took portions, same way as The Batman already took portions
from it, right, So I don't think we're gonna be
getting any sort of full and adaption. So yeah, we'll
see what happens. And I guess for me with Riddler,
like I think passing him being a new Batman that
was a selling point. But I have to see, like
I think Riddler and the way they did him is
I guess what what I'm getting to is with Harvey Dent,
do they is Harvey Dent in this movie gonna be
two facers as a setup, right, and if he is
two face, let's just say for arguments sake, he is
beginning to become two face. Do they show that in
trailers The Dark Knight? They could hint at it. They
didn't have to show that because we got the joke er.
We got to quote that film The Ace in the Hole, right,
and that was Keith Fledger Gray's performance all time as Joeoker.
In this, I don't think two face is the same
as in the whole unless you do literally show he
becomes two faces, like right away he's a marketing posters,
then I think that is a sun If it's not. Okay,
so you got him, you got this new character. Gilda Dent,
I don't think that's a big selling Jeremiah Arkham, I
don't think that's a big selling You could use Barry's
Joker more if you were to use them similar long Halloween.
Maybe you use that as a selling point. Now this
is where I could be wrong. They could do what
I was I gonna say, or just like in general,
people if they loved the Batman Part one are just excited.
You don't really have to get them in the door, right,
because the same way I could say with the Dark
I don't think it's not. I don't think the Batman's
on the same level as the Dark Knight as far
as hype, but the same way as like in the
Dark Knight Rise as the villain was Bane, who I
don't think is a very popular GA member villain at
that point. But I'm saying people can name him, but
it's not like a joke or a poison ivy Catwoman. Yeah,
but see, that's a tough thing I was gonna say,
because the Dark Knight people are locked in, but they
stilled Catwoman and Catwoarm to me is an ace and
the whole promotion. So yeah, I was gonna ask Chat
the same thing. Like Suer Mike says, they haven't really
done the crazy split personality two Face. But do you
think from people you know in the GA, do you
think two Face alone, even as just the two face
with the mess of face, do you think that is
as big of a selling point as a riddler, a joker,
a Catwoman. I think he's above below or a tier below.
And granted there could be jokers in this, there could be.
And that's where even with last week we had Catwoman,
if Catwoman was in this, I'd say, I don't need
to worry. Still another ace and the whole character. I
think two faces just like just below that, unless it's
like a big like Leo as two face, like a
big tier actor. So let me know in the chat
if it is as Riddler. Yes, No, I'm saying, is
two face as like two face? Is he? Yeah, you're
saying he's as big as Riddler. I'm assuming Mike's so like, Okay,
I still don't think so, but you could be right,
because like Dark Knight was massive film, that is the villain.
But as I've said, though, I'll stand by if they
don't show two face and it's just the Halliday killer,
a killer. If they didn't just show Harvey, you need
some sort of hook, right, you need something there in
my opinion, So we're just waiting, I think, for that
other shoe to drop, or maybe they're just gonna coast off. Hey,
we're gonna make this good movie. It's gonna be a mystery.
People loved that first one. We're gonna hope they come back.
And that's what makes me curious. As far as I
always thought, Okay, if let's say, what am I doing
for a time here, I got foremous if it was,
I guess. I even talked about this with Scar Joe.
She was fantasm that's not Ace in the Hole, but
it's like you could maybe market that as like some
newer character that's intriguing, like almost Bane in the Ga, right,
Like he's not newer, but like not a big established villain.
And that's why I still thought kat On was gonna
be say, yeah, it's tough as far as like I
guess to walk back it, right. I always thought Harvey
Dent would be in this movie, but I did not
think you'd be the selling point villain. I always thought
it'd be Harvey Dent and somebody else or he turns
in two Faces, et cetera as a selling point villain.
Who knows. I guess it depends who they get. Yeah,
we'll see. I'm waiting because we got these rumors and
if they're casting stuff now, I guess what we got
about sixteen days. I don't think they're gonna officially let
us know, but let's see. Superman says they really didn't
sell Riddler as hard as Riddler for the first one.
He was more seven to zero killer. Yeah, and you're
right right, And that's but that's the thing where it's
just like, like to your point with the split personality thing,
I do like that with two face and you could
sell that. It's just like if Gilda Dent is in
there is Guilder or Glilda. I don't know if Scar
was playing his wife. I feel like he's not gonna
be Harvey right away, right, So oh geez, Disney developing
a new live action Gaston movie. All right, say that
weekly geekboys, they could talk about that. Yeah, And that's
the thing, right, Mike. And that's where it comes back
to what I said with the Dents everything, I think
you might be similar to mine, and no, Maddie would be.
I trusted Matt Reeves and those traders, especially that first one.
I don't know if all tame, but I can say
that first Batman from the FanDome easily a top three
COMBOO trailer of all time. It could be up there
for a top ten, top twenty. It is phenomenal, Right,
So I trust them. I just want to see, like,
what is the angle of it, right, Gilda could be
the lawyer. Harvey is already two faces, which I would
I would love the two things I pitched when we
were telling Jay was that because then you could have
maybe Guilda and some stuff inside. Or I did wonder
and maybe you'd get some red eye thumbnails who knows.
I wonder if you could use Harvey as a fake
out and Gilda is actually two face in this, I'd
be fine that. I would love it if Scarchow is
like a race or not race that already happened, got
in trouble once. If there's a gender swap two face
with Scarjo, that'd be fun. But yeah, we'll see what happens.
I'm just loving that we're getting Batman two news. Yeah
you'd like that too, Yeah, put on the two there.

got so many two faces. I don't care if they
changed it up a little. Let's have some fun with it, right,
Like look what they did with the veil and the
U in the the Telltale series, Like change it up,
do some stuff. So that, as Travis told you, for
this week, I will be let me just confirm the calendar.

the same time Elemon am pst. Who knows what breaks there?
It might be an Evergreen because the boys got a
weekly Geek because they moved fall out, so the schedule
I haven't posted to it because all over, But thank
you very much as easily the most watched tress told you.
I know a lot of you were here for the
doomsday talk, but surprise you stuck around. Then the viewership
