Well, this time we're 191 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.200 gonna do it, and we're gonna get it live. But 192 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.679 there is a small time change. Excuse me, I said 193 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.639 nineteen eastern Standard time. I'm gonna correct that. We will 194 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.200 be going live an hour later. So we'll be going 195 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.279 live on Thursday next Thursday night, ten o'clock Eastern Standard 196 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.840 time for our Spider Man brand New Day reviews. So 197 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.200 again my correction, ten o'clock Eastern Standard time. David David's 198 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.200 tickets there are not going to allow him to come. 199 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.279 It'll be way too tight. He may have to walk 200 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:23.840 out of the theater early. If we were gonna make it. 201 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.639 I I've given myself a little bit of cushion. I 202 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:29.960 did all the math on this. I was like, all right, 203 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:34.240 here's what time it starts. Now, got time for all 204 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:40.960 the previews. I got time to watch the hurt feels 205 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.000 different in a place like this at amc then have 206 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.639 time to actually watch the movie, get the credits, get 207 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.399 to my car, drive fifteen minutes home from the theater, 208 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.240 and steal and there's a twenty minute buffer after that. 209 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.279 So I know that I can make it. 210 00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.919 Well that and again, well it is worth it. Going 211 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.159 an hour later to do this and to give you 212 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.399 that that chance to see a second showing. So yeah, 213 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.919 so again ten o'clock Eastern Standard time, we are going 214 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.559 to go that live, so you know, make sure that 215 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.960 there is uh you know some yeah, you know it's 216 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.080 gonna be some very much enjoyable uh some discussions that 217 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.679 you know we'll see. Is it meeting the hype? Will 218 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.120 it do everything we needed to do? And what will 219 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.320 be that infamous post credit scene that everyone just want 220 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.519 to the marble and moved to see what the possibly 221 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.159 hinting towards. But as Kevin fun It's it has been 222 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.200 said officially that Spider Man Brand New Day officially takes 223 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.399 place in the timeline before Doomsday. 224 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:42.840 So yes, so what happens, very very much excited about it, 225 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.240 very happy that I'm able to get two viewings in 226 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.360 before we record on that Thursday night, and I know 227 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.279 I'm still gonna be amped up and wired afterwards. I 228 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.399 was telling somebody else that even though this is gonna 229 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.240 be my second viewing, they were like, why don't you 230 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.720 just leave at the credit since you've already seen the 231 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.279 post credits. I go, absolutely not, I'm gonna watch the 232 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.919 post credits a second time. Who are you talking to? 233 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.679 Exactly? All right? So now that we got that all 234 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.679 out of the way, so again Sandyo Comic Con panel 235 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.879 with the Geek First Crossover this Saturday, eight o'clock Eastern 236 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.080 Standard time, five o'clock Pacific Standard time, and then next 237 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.919 week our brand new Day review is gonna go live 238 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.679 Thursday night, ten o'clock Eastern Standard time.

Because let's just be honest, I'm not 243 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.440 saying X Men ninety seven that episode is not gonna 244 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.240 be an amazing episode. We're not gonna want to, you know, 245 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:45.519 break it down, but we're gonna give the deference to 246 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.279 you know, the the original one of the original Marvel 247 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.960 leads of the of the the company and give the 248 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.240 week to spider Man and we will review both X 249 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.200 Men ninety seven episode seven and eight the following Thursday. 250 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.120 So yep, but bears Layer says, I won't be there, 251 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.279 but I will catch it after seeing Spidey. Don't know 252 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.240 when yet, will be happening though yep, and again guess 253 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:09.919 what it'll be in your feeds when you're ready to 254 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.360 listen There bears Layer, So do not worry about that, 255 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.960 all right, So let us get into season two of 256 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:22.080 x N ninety seven, Episode six, Danger dot E x E. 257 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.080 So kind of already seen the title. We kind of 258 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.759 saw break character images before the season even drop. We 259 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.600 knew we were gonna see the character Danger in this episode. 260 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.320 And this is this was this was another I wouldn't 261 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:38.840 call it another, I wouldn't call it necess say, a 262 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.600 full bottle episode to kind of like last weeks. And 263 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.399 even then it did advance the plot a little bit, 264 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.120 but that was very much Wolverine centric. This got us 265 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:51.840 back into the full characters. It was a Polaris focused episode, 266 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:55.200 but it did make reference to and start doing some 267 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.200 more character builds of the post of the the what 268 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:04.000 happening after the the the death of Magneto? Yes, so 269 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.240 so yeah overall overall quick thoughts, no non spoiler thoughts, 270 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.799 just quick thoughts. What did you think of the episode? 271 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.720 Uh, non spoiler thoughts. It was it was a fun episode. 272 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.600 It was again we I don't think we've met, we've 273 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.240 rematched the hot of you know, the how we ended 274 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.360 with the Apocalypse arc that we had beforehand. But it 275 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:32.000 was a fun episode. It had some fun moments, and 276 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:37.919 it had a lot of character psyche moments with Charles 277 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.000 that I really really liked him. Plus, you know, a 278 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:44.240 common or two that might be setting up something for 279 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.000 either future episodes or future seasons. So I definitely like that. 280 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.720 Yeah, and it's one of it's one of those things 281 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.639 where you know, again we've said it before. I love 282 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.240 the show. They do put a lot and go very 283 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.679 quickly through storylines, arcs and things like that that would 284 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.000 we would love to see take place over whole seasons, 285 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.320 maybe a couple of episodes, but I do appreciate that 286 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.279 they're not. They're taking things for that have happened way 287 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.000 after in comics, timeline and things like that and bringing 288 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.200 it into X Men ninety seven. I'd rather get a 289 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.840 taste of this stuff done, you know well, versus a 290 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.759 long story that didn't live up to its expectations. And 291 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.320 this was an interesting choice to bring in Danger into this, 292 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.000 So let's break this down. The episode opens back at 293 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:37.919 that unforgettable scene from episode four, apocalypseing unliving Magneto in 294 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.919 front of Charles as he taunts the leader of the 295 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.279 X Men. As the moment concludes, though, Charles orders the 296 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.919 Danger Room to repeat the moment, which I thought it 297 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:47.559 was like he was living in a dream or something 298 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.200 like that. But when he had to repeat us to Ah, 299 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.799 he's in the Danger Room, and he does this again 300 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.759 and again and again until Pacas begins to crush him 301 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.159 beneath his boots. Panic Charles orders the Danger Room to 302 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.600 stop the scenario, and the Danger Room, explained in her 303 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.879 very creepy psychotic voice that she seems more alive than usual, 304 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.120 explains that it adapted because of his repeated failures. The 305 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.120 room assures him that it was updated. It is updated 306 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.879 as directives. I was, like, failures, What did Charles set 307 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:17.480 this up for? 308 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:17.799 Like? 309 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.919 What was he trying to do? I thought he was 310 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:23.200 just punishing himself by living it or having some weird 311 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.600 kind of masochistic thing going on with it. I mean, 312 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.279 I just saw literally jokes aside. I thought he was 313 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.840 just trying to punish himself by or getting to say 314 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.120 and do certain things to that he wished he had 315 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.480 said to Magneto. I don't know, but I don't know 316 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.399 what he was doing here besides his trauma, like just 317 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:43.399 dealing with this trauma. 318 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.759 Yeah, this seems like something that my therapist would be 319 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.960 very very disappointed to see. And you know, that's what 320 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.720 I thought he was doing. But then yeah, when the 321 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.799 Danger Room responded back and said that it was adapting 322 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.240 to his repeated felly or something like what what what 323 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:06.400 was the prompt that he gave it, I started thinking 324 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.599 in terms of you know, AI as your chech she'd 325 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.039 be teach your clause, Like, what prompt did he give 326 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.720 this Danger Room in order to reach this part where 327 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:21.039 these heart light images that the danger creates our ready 328 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.839 to crush its skull? Yeah, it was. 329 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:30.319 It was just an interesting idea where he, like I said, 330 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.519 I would love to know what his his mission's goal 331 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.480 for it was, So we go bass that and go 332 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.759 to uh. Meanwhile, Polaris was on a mission for X Factor. 333 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.119 We see a group known as the Purifiers, who are 334 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:47.960 a group of you know, human scum in the comics 335 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.039 that who basically hate muns want to see them gone. 336 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.400 So basically, the Purifiers are like the KKK of the 337 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:57.559 X Men universe and who have acquired a shipment of 338 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.799 vibranium weapons up there we go more hints towards a 339 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.799 larger world you know from Wakanda, with which they want 340 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:08.480 to hunt mutants down. Plais interrupts them though, though, and 341 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.000 orders them to stand down on behalf of the US government. 342 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.079 They refuse, and a very one sided fight breaks out. 343 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:18.519 Polaris owns them uh Plai's lifts their ship and dumps 344 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.200 the group into and their weapons into the ocean, making 345 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.240 child's play out of everything they just they were doing. 346 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:31.039 Val Cooper, their their illustrious leader of X Factor, orders 347 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:33.759 Pilaire's to stand down, saying that she was supposed to 348 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.799 be on a covert mission. Plaires begins to uh leave 349 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:40.680 their ship, but the Purifiers begin firing at her again, 350 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.559 ticking her off massively, and she hurls the ship back 351 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.680 at them and Havoc, just in the nick of time 352 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.799 comes in with the rest of X Factor to blast 353 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.759 the ship that she split in half out of harm's way, 354 00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.519 and the Purifier. One of the Purifers like, yes, bring 355 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.960 it on, bring out because they they they unbeknownst to Plaris, 356 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.119 it's this is all being captured on camera and making 357 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.440 trying to make X Factor I mutants hated. At that 358 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.119 point and trying to make Plais seem like a murderer. 359 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.440 But luckily Havoc and X Factor were able to stop that. 360 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.200 Yeah, this this was a set up by them. They 361 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.119 they goaded her into acting out so that they could 362 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.680 take this footage. And you know, just like with certain 363 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:31.319 real life groups of people, that they're gonna take this, 364 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:33.839 they're going to chop it up, they're going to fit 365 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.759 it into their narrative, and she was feeding right into that. 366 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:39.319 And definitely how we recommend if I have him said it, 367 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:41.400 if you want to see kind of the origins of 368 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.880 this particular team, feel us the the amazing uh rest 369 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.359 in power mister Peter David's run of X Factor. Uh, 370 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:51.400 this is the first volume of it at that point 371 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.960 in an ominibus format. But this is this gives you 372 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:56.559 kind of the old idea of the inception of this 373 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.960 this iteration technically the second iteration X Factor, because the 374 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.039 first iteration was Cyclops trying to do what Cyclops does 375 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:06.680 and tries to strike out in his own X Men 376 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.039 team and also leaves leave his baby and child behind 377 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.440 because he's just a dead matter at least in the comics. 378 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.440 Gad to get that in there, I said, at least 379 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.400 in the comics. At least in the comics. Remember, I'm 380 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:25.039 trying to do better anyways, So in Cooper's office, she 381 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:29.079 berates Polaris for her actions, saying that they don't need 382 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.559 another magnetic mutant killing monster out there trying to attack 383 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.119 and destroy humans. Blairs argues that she was trying to 384 00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:39.319 take out the terrorists, but Cooper ignores her argument. She 385 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.880 says that Pilari's is being called the next Magneto and 386 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:46.920 hints at the fact that she she should know that. 387 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.160 You know, she doesn't want that because of the past 388 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:54.359 that she knows, hinting that Polaris is the daughter of Magneto, 389 00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:58.759 and Polaris expresses some displeasure with her strange father, but 390 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:03.240 Cooper dismisses her from x X factor anyway. So, is 391 00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.559 Polaris the daughter of Magneto in the comics? 392 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:07.960 Yes? 393 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:13.440 Maybe sometimes maybe no, could be yes, it is. This 394 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.119 is what I'm saying with this is that yes, there 395 00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:20.720 has been a it has been very much established. Unlike 396 00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:24.519 Scarlett Witch that goes back and forth between whether she 397 00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:29.079 is a daughter of Magneto, Polaris is the daughter of Magneto. 398 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.240 What comics history would has going back and forth. When 399 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:41.000 I say sometimes maybe so is that Polaris's abilities in 400 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.920 the beginning were ignited by a different type of being, 401 00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:49.559
