Speaker 3: To EXAs the podcast Funny Welcome. We are so excited
Speaker 3: for episode with our very special guest, Daniel Maren, the
Speaker 3: voice of Naymore from the hit game Marvel Rivals. I
Speaker 3: would call out your ultimate move, but all it is.
Speaker 4: Is just a sad horn.
Speaker 3: We can't say I'm dangerous or anything like that. But
Speaker 3: I feel like Nay Moore is really cool in the game.
Speaker 3: He's so much fun. I'm so glad that we were
Speaker 3: able to connect with you and have you on the
Speaker 3: show today. And you know, for our audience, we are
Speaker 3: going to be covering Name Moore's first appearance in X
Speaker 3: Men comics with Naymore himself, so we're so excited about
Speaker 3: that or should we say no More?
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 5: And also you can say whicheveryone you want, because it's
Speaker 5: like it's depends on.
Speaker 4: What language you're saying it in, because if you.
Speaker 5: Say my name Daniel in English or in Spanish Daniel,
Speaker 5: so you could say Namore in.
Speaker 4: Spanish and name More in English. It's the same.
Speaker 3: Now. I remember when Namore appeared in Black Panther Wakanda
Speaker 3: Forever as our new version of him in MCU, which
Speaker 3: I totally love the redesign of him, and he introduces himself.
Speaker 3: I realized that Nomore means no love because he says, I,
Speaker 3: you know, because I have no love for the surface world,
Speaker 3: so they call me Namore, and I was just like,
Speaker 3: oh my god. I never thought about that, you know,
Speaker 3: nay more. To me in my head was just never
Speaker 3: no love. It just until you know, Tanas said it.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh it says no love.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: I think originally in the original comics it was like
Speaker 5: Roman backwards because of when he fought the Roman Empire. Yes,
Speaker 5: I think that's correct, but yeah, when they didn't in mcuy,
Speaker 5: they decided to make it yeah this thing of like,
Speaker 5: well he's you know, Mayen and so he has this
Speaker 5: like different lore than the original character. But I do, like,
Speaker 5: you know, I like how they came up with no
Speaker 5: More as like the Linalcy no Moore. And I also
Speaker 5: love when, you know, when he introduced himself into like
Speaker 5: who are you and he goes, my people call me
Speaker 5: ah cuca gun, but my enemies call me no More.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we definitely have a
Speaker 2: new and improved version of Nyemoura. He's evolved so much
Speaker 2: over the years. But what was your first experience your
Speaker 2: first exposure to the character. Was it comic books, cartoons?
Speaker 5: I think it's one of these things that like he's
Speaker 5: a character that at some point in life as a kid,
Speaker 5: you kind of came across him, but you know, I
Speaker 5: think the mass appeal of Aquaman sort of drowned nay
Speaker 5: more in the background. And then in Black Panther too,
Speaker 5: when he came out, he was like this, like really,
Speaker 5: you know, badass dude, Like just he looked really cool.
Speaker 5: And I always kind of wanted to see like a
Speaker 5: solo movie of his because I think there's so much
Speaker 5: to explore there now, you know, And especially after getting
Speaker 5: this character in Marvel Rivals and like reading more and
Speaker 5: more comics and discovering who he is and why he
Speaker 5: is the way he is, I'm like, oh man, there's
Speaker 5: so much there, you know.
Speaker 4: It's just it's it's pretty cool. So I think the.
Speaker 5: Black Panther or two movie was the first exposure, but
Speaker 5: I really delved deep after getting this part because for one,
Speaker 5: like I wanted to know more about him. I think
Speaker 5: it also informs when we go record, Like just as
Speaker 5: an example, the interaction with this Sue Storm. I had
Speaker 5: already read a bunch of the Fantastic Four comics with him,
Speaker 5: and it just made the lines where I say like, oh, Susan,
Speaker 5: you wound me. You know, It's like I know where
Speaker 5: that's coming from now, as opposed to just like saying
Speaker 5: a line.
Speaker 4: The more more I learn about him, the more I'm like,
Speaker 4: this guy is awesome. I love him.
Speaker 3: So what was the audition process?
Speaker 5: Like it was weird because you know, I get that
Speaker 5: question a lot, Like I auditioned in twenty twenty three
Speaker 5: in May, and we get an audition just like any
Speaker 5: other audition.
Speaker 4: We don't know what it's for. For videos, especially, they're
Speaker 4: like they have a supercode.
Speaker 5: So the name was a code. The character had a code,
Speaker 5: and you know, it comes with like a brief description.
Speaker 5: You're like, well, if you know superheroes, you know that
Speaker 5: this guy is one of these guys. But it doesn't
Speaker 5: necessarily say I obviously I should have put it together.
Speaker 5: It came with a picture of nay More, but it
Speaker 5: didn't say this is the character. It said this is
Speaker 5: the vibe of the character. So I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 5: I kind of get where he's coming from. And and
Speaker 5: that was it. And then like I kind of thought about,
Speaker 5: you know a few things of like he lives in
Speaker 5: the bottom of the ocean, so the pressure of the
Speaker 5: water must make his chest cavity just super strong. So
Speaker 5: when he speaks, it's down here because he has to
Speaker 5: command everyone you know, and so that was sort of
Speaker 5: like my intention with that. And then there was a
Speaker 5: line I think it was typical air breather in the game,
Speaker 5: and that sort of informed me his point of view
Speaker 5: how he thinks just like humans are beneath him. And
Speaker 5: this was before I had read the comics, so like,
Speaker 5: my gut was just kind of right on it, because
Speaker 5: the more and more you read it, the more you
Speaker 5: see why he hates humans and this like voice or
Speaker 5: on the strongest dude you know in the planet. So
Speaker 5: I'm just lucky that I made the right instinctual choices there,
Speaker 5: because you know, we wouldn't be sitting here otherwise.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, that must have felt amazing when you got
Speaker 3: the role, Like how how did you get the news?
Speaker 3: And you know, I guess I know games are very secretive,
Speaker 3: especially like you could even go in and read lines
Speaker 3: and not even know but knowing that you were going
Speaker 3: to come out of this game as no more. How
Speaker 3: did that feel?
Speaker 4: Well? This is something I actually I have never told anybody.
Speaker 5: I was at the aquarium when I got the message
Speaker 5: from my agent saying you got the part in the
Speaker 5: Marvel game. I was like, what Marvel game? She's like
Speaker 5: the guy no More that you auditioned for, and I
Speaker 5: was like, or nay More And I was like what
Speaker 5: And I'm literally in the aquarium surrounded by fish.
Speaker 4: It was. It was such a like serendipitous moment.
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe it had been seven months since the audition,
Speaker 5: so to get the email, I didn't even know what
Speaker 5: it was. So I'm like quickly scrolling through my email
Speaker 5: trying to see, like what was the audition?
Speaker 4: What did I send in.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to know what I'm auditioning, what I'm
Speaker 5: recording for, so I had to re listen to my
Speaker 5: audition to be like that's what I did.
Speaker 4: Oh, oh, that's what this is. So that was just
Speaker 4: really cool.
Speaker 5: And then I don't think we recorded for another like
Speaker 5: four months, and then you know, once I went in,
Speaker 5: now I know it's nay More. I had once I
Speaker 5: booked it, I started reading the comics and like by
Speaker 5: the time I got in and they showed me the
Speaker 5: first graphics of like this is what he's going to
Speaker 5: look like.
Speaker 4: And it was sort of, you know, not completed or anything.
Speaker 5: It was just like a very rough look of his
Speaker 5: and I was just like, this is incredible.
Speaker 4: But none of us.
Speaker 5: I think the developers are hoped that it would be
Speaker 5: a big success, but I don't think anybody expected it
Speaker 5: to be a success. And I remember being in Comic
Speaker 5: Con when they announced our cast. It was the first
Speaker 5: time I knew who else was in the game, and
Speaker 5: I was in the audience and I saw the scope
Speaker 5: of it, and I saw people's reactions to the the
Speaker 5: artwork and that kind of stuff, and I was like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, this is this is going to be something,
Speaker 5: you know, And then playing the beta, I thought it
Speaker 5: was the most fun game I'd played in a really
Speaker 5: long time.
Speaker 4: So yeah, to be a part of it is incredible.
Speaker 5: And you know, also like going to Naymore, like there
Speaker 5: wasn't a lot of stuff to look at about him,
Speaker 5: which was nice for me because I was able to
Speaker 5: create something that, hopefully now is what people associate Name
Speaker 5: War with, you know, just like all these other actors
Speaker 5: you associate.
Speaker 4: Them with, like you know, Uri and Spider Man.
Speaker 5: Like I hope that now when people think of Nam
Speaker 5: War and they hear another voice or something, they'll be like,
Speaker 5: that's not.
Speaker 4: Name War like the other name War. You know. That's
Speaker 4: what I think would.
Speaker 3: Be awesome, absolutely Yeah, if there's ever an animated name war,
Speaker 3: I hope that you get to voice him, and obviously
Speaker 3: any future video game appearances of him, And yeah, that'd
Speaker 3: be awesome because your role is fantastic in the game.
Speaker 3: It's super fun, and yeah, you nail the character. You
Speaker 3: sense the history in his line delivery, as you said,
Speaker 3: because you've kind of done the research. So it's a
Speaker 3: lot of fun. And as a player myself, I love
Speaker 3: playing as nay Moore. His skill set and everything is
Speaker 3: a blast. Well what are some of his special moves? Oh,
Speaker 3: my gosh, Well, he does this thing called oceans protect me.
Speaker 3: Actually you should probably say.
Speaker 5: It, but I think you can put me out of
Speaker 5: a job if you do that.
Speaker 3: He becomes invincible for a moment, as as the oceans
Speaker 3: swirl around him and he takes to the sky. He's
Speaker 3: got his Denizens of the Deep. Of course, he throws
Speaker 3: out these squids that act as turrets to attack the enemy,
Speaker 3: and then he has his spear. And the funny thing
Speaker 3: about his spear is that it's unlimited. It's an infinite
Speaker 3: sphere and it's it's funny. How characters have you know,
Speaker 3: Ammo reload times, but Naymar doesn't.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know why they did that for him.
Speaker 4: Right well, you know, because he's just the best.
Speaker 3: As a player. It's amazing to not have to worry
Speaker 3: about reload.
Speaker 2: If you're not playing nay More, who else is your.
Speaker 5: Main That's a terrible question for me because I literally
Speaker 5: exclusively play with nay Moar I have I think just
Speaker 5: that right now, one hundred and fifty hours on him alone,
Speaker 5: and maybe one hour on.
Speaker 4: I believe it's Human Torch.
Speaker 5: And that's only because sometimes I'll get into a match
Speaker 5: and somebody steals name from me because I'm talking to
Speaker 5: my stream chat or something and I get distracted and
Speaker 5: I look up and I'm like, no name was gone.
Speaker 5: So then I pick Human Torch.
Speaker 3: Did you just throw the game then? Because you're just like,
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna pretty much. This morning, I was playing
Speaker 5: and my chap asked me. They were like, can we
Speaker 5: tell you which character you pick and you just try him?
Speaker 5: And I was like sure, and they gave me Spidy
Speaker 5: and it was such a disaster.
Speaker 3: I can't do a Spider Man. Oh my gosh, that.
Speaker 4: Was so abusive.
Speaker 5: I can't do anybody else, and they give me one
Speaker 5: of the hardest characters to even control.
Speaker 4: It was nuts, But yeah, but I did you know.
Speaker 5: I know that as as you move up in the game, Chris,
Speaker 5: like as you move ranking, teams can vote one character
Speaker 5: to be eliminated or like voted off the game, and
Speaker 5: a lot of times it ends up being the more
Speaker 5: And everybody's like, you know, once you get the diamond, dude,
Speaker 5: you're gonna get banned.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I don't know what to do. I'll
Speaker 4: just never play again, just quick.
Speaker 3: Play from now on my best. Yeah. Yeah, well I
Speaker 3: guess you know. I feel like, you know, you should
Speaker 3: probably do either either read Richards just because of your
Speaker 3: you know, mutual appreciation of Sue, or just to Sue
Speaker 3: like well as a as a Sue player. I don't
Speaker 3: know if I would call myself a Sue Maine. She's
Speaker 3: the one that I'm best with in competition, I will say,
Speaker 3: just because a lot of people don't play healers, so
Speaker 3: I jump in as Sue as healer and she's the
Speaker 3: one that carried me to gold where I'm at now,
Speaker 3: So you can call me a Sue Maine. We can
Speaker 3: team up. We've been talking about this actually for a while,
Speaker 3: so we have to actually make it happen.
Speaker 4: Up because Sue and more belong together. So that's just
Speaker 4: what it is.
Speaker 3: Though I really could should do Luna so that you
Speaker 3: get your extra squid.
Speaker 5: That's true, it's true, but you know he's in love
Speaker 5: with Susan, so that's that's what it is. Let's just
Speaker 5: remember that and not bring up Read Richards ever again.
Speaker 2: So you tour so are big experts on this game.
Speaker 2: Are there any tips for newbies?
Speaker 3: So many? So my biggest tip is watch a bunch
Speaker 3: of YouTube channels and reels and tiktoks of people that
Speaker 3: are much better than you talking about the game. Because
Speaker 3: I learned so much about the game. I learned so
Speaker 3: much about radicals and how you should change your radicals
Speaker 3: per character that you're playing, and how it actually affects
Speaker 3: my gameplay, and just like all the settings you can
Speaker 3: do in the game to help you out. I once
Speaker 3: I learned that, I was like, Oh, now I can.
Speaker 5: Play that's amazing. I've played completely standard. I don't know,
Speaker 5: I haven't changed anything. I feel like I did look
Speaker 5: at one of the radicals on TikTok and I was
Speaker 5: like oh, I got to change this radical And then
Speaker 5: I did, and I couldn't hit a single shot, so
Speaker 5: I just went back to standard.
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, my damn. I think it's just
Speaker 4: what I got used to.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's that muscle memory. Like I even if I
Speaker 5: switch character, I try to play in the exactly like
Speaker 5: the morning. I'm trying to throw squids as you know,
Speaker 5: anybody else.
Speaker 4: I'm like, they don't have squids? What am I doing here?
Speaker 3: Yeah. Another tip I'm going to give if your guys
Speaker 3: are going to play it for the first time, or
Speaker 3: especially if you're not used to a six on six
Speaker 3: shooter game, is start with either Cloak and Dagger or
Speaker 3: Scarlet Witch because they have auto targeting, so you don't
Speaker 3: have to be quite as defined in your aiming. So
Speaker 3: those are the two easiest kind of like characters to
Speaker 3: be introduced or to kind of introduce yourself to the game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good. That's a good piece of advice for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, it's it's one of these things that I
Speaker 5: feel like when you first start, when you even if
Speaker 5: you walk by the screen or you're scrolling and you
Speaker 5: see a video of but it seems so chaotic and
Speaker 5: so busy and hard to like keep up with what
Speaker 5: you're doing. But once you play two or three times,
Speaker 5: you somehow figure out how to lock into what you
Speaker 5: are doing and it just makes sense.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Don't be intimidated by the craziness of it, because ultimately
Speaker 5: it's you know, it's just a matter of like doing
Speaker 5: it two or three times, you'd be like, Okay, I
Speaker 5: get it.
Speaker 4: I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 5: There's also like AI practices and practice modes where you
Speaker 5: could just go and learn the character and without the
Speaker 5: fear of getting obliterated by it, you know, some other human.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And you're always learning because even though we've
Speaker 3: been playing the game for a while, I know, I
Speaker 3: shared a video with you recently about using this moved
Speaker 3: block ultimates, and I'd never even thought about that for
Speaker 3: it before, especially as a NAYM war player. I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, this is brilliant. So there's always things
Speaker 3: to learn.
Speaker 4: I feel.
Speaker 5: I try that today literally against Hella, and I did
Speaker 5: my my protecting bubble thing and I went up to her,
Speaker 5: but I did it too early and my bubble right now,
Speaker 5: and she just chew me right in the face and
Speaker 5: I died.
Speaker 4: It's like, no, I was trying to be a hero.
Speaker 3: No, no, well, you know, maybe you distracted her long
Speaker 3: enough to save a teammate.
Speaker 4: So it's so funny. Yeah, maybe hopefully that's right.
Speaker 2: So this game is super popular and it's community is
Speaker 2: growing by leaps and bounds. What's it like in the fandom?
Speaker 2: Do you Are you able to make friends online? Are
Speaker 2: you able to add people?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, So this is kind of fascinating because I started
Speaker 5: streaming myself playing on the day of the launch in
Speaker 5: December sixth and I had I think, like eighty followers
Speaker 5: on TikTok and eight followers on Twitch, and now I'm
Speaker 5: at seventeen thousand followers on TikTok and three thousand followers
Speaker 5: on Twitch. It's amazing how many people have just flocked
Speaker 5: to us.
Speaker 4: Like there's a couple of us voice.
Speaker 5: Actors who are really active with the community on TikTok
Speaker 5: and with the streaming and that kind of stuff. And
Speaker 5: I personally have really tried really hard to just keep
Speaker 5: like a positive vibe in my community, so like, I
Speaker 5: don't really allow toxicity and toxic gamers who come in
Speaker 5: trying to create like a safe environment for people to
Speaker 5: just like be and exist and enjoy the game for fun,
Speaker 5: because that's what it should be. And I've been able
Speaker 5: to find that in such an amazing way that I'm like, wow,
Speaker 5: I've actually made some really good friends now, and yeah,
Speaker 5: it's great.
Speaker 4: Like it's very few trolls.
Speaker 5: That come in and give me some sort of you know,
Speaker 5: negative comment or whatever, and I just it's gone to
Speaker 5: the point I just ignore it because the amount of
Speaker 5: love that we're getting is just exponentially better. So yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean I've made good friends. I've made friends with streamers,
Speaker 5: friends with other gamers, friends with just brandom. People in
Speaker 5: my chat that I meet that are like I want
Speaker 5: to play with you, and you know, I got to
Speaker 5: meet Chandler because of this. So it's a thing where
Speaker 5: like you're I'm making connections with people on their in friendships,
Speaker 5: not just you know, I'm a guy, and.
Speaker 4: People are like, you're so cool whaterever. Like it's like
Speaker 4: we're making we're friendships and it's it's really neat. It's
Speaker 4: actually really cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say that it's really fun to play
Speaker 3: with your friends. So you know, we're talking about making friends,
Speaker 3: but it's really fun. If you have friends that play
Speaker 3: the game, you guys can jump on a voice chat,
Speaker 3: you can you know, you could just call each other whatever.
Speaker 3: You know. We have a Discord server for our x
Speaker 3: Men immersive event, the Uncanny Experience. So if you guys
Speaker 3: are listening and you want to play Rivals with us,
Speaker 3: we are on the Discord server. Daniel is also a
Speaker 3: member and he has played with us before, so you
Speaker 3: could join this.
Speaker 4: I didn't hear you.
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 4: What's the discord name? Again? I didn't hear you.
Speaker 3: The Uncanny Experience And if you guys want the link,
Speaker 3: you just go to the Uncanny Experience dot com. Scroll
Speaker 3: to the bottom. You'll see the little Discord icon. Click
Speaker 3: on that and then you can join the Discord server immediately.
Speaker 3: And it's a lot of fun if you guys want
Speaker 3: to play the game with a group of people, but
Speaker 3: we have a consistent group that probably play every night,
Speaker 3: whether it's two people to six people to two groups playing,
Speaker 3: it's a it's a lot of fun and everybody's super
Speaker 3: chill and welcoming, awesome.
Speaker 4: And are you on console or are you on PC?
Speaker 3: I am on console. I'm playing on PS five Chris
Speaker 3: would be on Xbox if he ever joins up again.
Speaker 3: I know, I try.
Speaker 2: It's it's a lot of run and gun, which gives
Speaker 2: me anxiety. I'm more of a casual slow player.
Speaker 3: Well there's other game modes, now, is there? There is
Speaker 3: a clone mode where everybody's the same character, which is chaos. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there is a There was a soccer one where you're
Speaker 3: playing soccer.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm into this, Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Yes? And then there was it wasn't really soccer, it
Speaker 3: was like spaceball or whatever. But and then there was, uh,
Speaker 3: what am I trying to think of? There was another Oh,
Speaker 3: the Doom match. Well, that's that's chaos. That's also okay.
Speaker 3: It's where you can be anybody and it's just whoever
Speaker 3: makes the most kills, and it's just running around Doctor
Speaker 3: Strange's Sanctum Sigtorum, which is full of portals and moving
Speaker 3: walls and all of this insanity, and you're just trying
Speaker 3: to find people and murder them and it's it's it's crazy. Oh,
Speaker 3: that's exciting. Yeah, this is They're releasing more game modes.
Speaker 3: There's currently a board game mode happening right now where
Speaker 3: you have to play and you get like dice rolls,
Speaker 3: and then your character moves down the board game and
Speaker 3: you unlock goodies. So they're always releasing new things. I'm
Speaker 3: so into that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well, let's do some rapid fire Q and
Speaker 2: a question. All right, let's go question number one. What
Speaker 2: is the worst part of being the King of Atlantis?
Speaker 5: Ooh, it's really hard to find a woman who can
Speaker 5: sustain the pressure.
Speaker 3: All right. What's a better title, the King of Atlantis
Speaker 3: or the first Mutant?
Speaker 5: Ooh, I think king of Atlantis. I think it sounds
Speaker 5: a little more Yeah, gritty.
Speaker 2: Which Marvel hero would name? Or absolutely hate to be
Speaker 2: stuck on a road trip with?
Speaker 4: Oh my god read Richard's no doubt.
Speaker 3: If nay More had a dating profile, what would his
Speaker 3: bio say?
Speaker 4: Oh, loves long walks at the beach.
Speaker 5: And will definitely, you know, pick you out to eat
Speaker 5: sushi daily. How about holding the enemy down until they drown.
Speaker 3: What's one thing Naymour refuses to apologize for.
Speaker 4: Oh, his love for Susan?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right?
Speaker 2: Does Namar secretly love the attention he gets her wearing
Speaker 2: tiny green swim trunks?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'll that tity a little bit In the In
Speaker 5: the game, he talks about bringing telecanda the surface, and
Speaker 5: I always.
Speaker 4: Say that he brings it in his shorts because that's
Speaker 4: where you like to keep it.
Speaker 3: And he can show you who would name more trust
Speaker 3: more in battle? Wolverine or Captain America.
Speaker 4: Oh, I think Logan.
Speaker 5: I think I think he'd because he was friends with
Speaker 5: Captain America during the Second War.
Speaker 4: But I think he'd trust Wolverine a little more.
Speaker 2: What's name War's biggest pet peeve about surface.
Speaker 4: Dwellers, Oh, that they breathe air.
Speaker 3: If Naymar had a TikTok, what kind of content would
Speaker 3: he post?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it would all be like maybe trips
Speaker 5: to the aquarium.
Speaker 2: Would name or rather fight one hundred seagull sized sharks
Speaker 2: or one shark sized seagull.
Speaker 4: One shark sized seagull would be really fun for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what's name War's guilty pleasure food?
Speaker 4: Oh? Oh man, my brain went to sting Ray. But
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
Speaker 2: What song would be blasting when Naymor walks into battle?
Speaker 5: Oh man, gosh, these are good questions. What about just
Speaker 5: like the theme song to The Little Mermaid or something?
Speaker 3: If Naymar had a podcast, what would it be called?
Speaker 4: Thoughts thoughts from deep below?
Speaker 3: All right? Okay, name War versus Aquaman? Who wins?
Speaker 2: And why is it?
Speaker 3: Naymar?
Speaker 5: Absolutely because he was first, so he understands the ocean
Speaker 5: way better than Aquaman ever could.
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, nay War is known for its iconic
Speaker 3: tiny green shorts. Would you ever wear them to a
Speaker 3: convention for the fans?
Speaker 5: I made a deal with my stream chat that if
Speaker 5: I got to a certain amount of followers, I would
Speaker 5: do a cosplay. And I was joking, but they did
Speaker 5: not take that as a joke, and they have been
Speaker 5: subscribing me and we're getting pretty close, so I'm going
Speaker 5: to have to do the honoring of wearing the green shorts.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 5: Okay, if I worked at convention, I'd be so embarrassed.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, Name, We're in a dad bod suit.
Speaker 4: That'd be it.
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of convention, You're gonna appear at Wonder Con
Speaker 3: in Anaheim coming up very soon, and we are so excited.
Speaker 3: Not only will you appear on our X Men fandom
Speaker 3: panel because we're doing a Mutant Voices panel, but you're
Speaker 3: also gonna be doing a signing event from eleven to
Speaker 3: two with Unknown Comics. And so is this your first
Speaker 3: bike panel appearances, your first convention appearance? What is this
Speaker 3: for you?
Speaker 4: This is my first everything. I'm so excited. It's like
Speaker 4: a dream come true.
Speaker 5: I've been to you know, Comic Count a bunch of times,
Speaker 5: and I always thought like, one day I want to
Speaker 5: do that, never even thinking i'd have an avenue to
Speaker 5: do it, and so now being able to get this
Speaker 5: opportunity to do it, I think it's like, I can't wait.
Speaker 5: I can't wait to meet any fans that come by
Speaker 5: to say hi, anybody that wants an autograph, whatever, a photo.
Speaker 5: I'm just so excited for it because it's all new
Speaker 5: and and I just I've been on the receiving end
Speaker 5: of it. I've been like, I've been the fan who
Speaker 5: stood in line and did that, and so oh, I'm super.
Speaker 4: Excited for it. And I've never done a panel, but
Speaker 4: clearly I.
Speaker 5: Talk, so you know, prepare yourselves.
Speaker 4: But I think it's really cool. I love it.
Speaker 5: It's a way of sharing with with like minded people.
Speaker 4: So I'm super excited for it.
Speaker 3: Fantastic. Well, everybody, you can see him on the X
Speaker 3: Men Fandom panel, which is going to be on Sunday
Speaker 3: of wonder Con weekend from three to four pm in
Speaker 3: Room three hundred and a. So join us for the panel.
Speaker 3: Go see him at his booth appearance is booth DL
Speaker 3: sixteen to nineteen. You'll appear somewhere in there with some
Speaker 3: X Men ninety seven voice actors, So if you guys
Speaker 3: want to see X Men ninety seven actors and danielle Mingling,
Speaker 3: you can also see that as well, and then we'll
Speaker 3: all go do the panel together. It's gonna be a blast.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm so excited, I really am.
Speaker 3: Well, should we get into this issue. Let's do it.
Speaker 3: Let's set the era, let's talk about when this issue.
Speaker 3: So first of all, this is a still age era comics,
Speaker 3: something Chris and I have never done, and Daniel challenged
Speaker 3: us to this first appearance of Day More and X Men.
Speaker 3: So this we're back in the stan leear that's right.
Speaker 2: We are going back way back to July first of
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty four, and the top song at the time
Speaker 2: was called A World Without Love by Peter and Gordon.
Speaker 3: Yes, a song we listened to before recording that we'd
Speaker 3: never heard of before, but it was a very sixties
Speaker 3: mellow song. Very psychedelic, easy listening.
Speaker 2: Ye, I want to be on the porch on the
Speaker 2: sunset and have that groovy tune of.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, glass of tea. And the top movie in
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty four of July was Circus World. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: When Circus proprietor Matt Masters decides to take his show
Speaker 3: on a European tour, it is beset by problems while
Speaker 3: he searches for Lily, the mother of his adopted daughter
Speaker 3: who disappeared years before. It stars John Wayne and Rita Hayworth.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is beyond us obviously, but what a fun
Speaker 3: time to go back all the way to the sixties
Speaker 3: because we're usually living in our nineties nostalgia or eighties
Speaker 3: nostalgia when we are in this podcast, so to go
Speaker 3: to an era that we don't know anything about is
Speaker 3: a lot of fun. All right, Well, here we go.
Speaker 3: It's uncanny. X Men number six are actually technically X
Speaker 3: Men number six before they went uncanny. Written by Stan Lee,
Speaker 3: art by Jack Kirby, our originators, our founders that made
Speaker 3: the X Men. We are so excited, and the title
Speaker 3: is sub Mariner joins the Evil Mutants.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, and what do we have on the cover, Daniel,
Speaker 2: what do you see?
Speaker 4: My god, I see no more in his beautiful red red. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're red red.
Speaker 3: I know they're red, everybody.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 3: It's funny because you know, I feel like the coloring
Speaker 3: on the covers sometimes doesn't match the reality of what's
Speaker 3: inside the pages because they're green inside, but they're red
Speaker 3: on the covers.
Speaker 4: True.
Speaker 5: I mean, he did have a period where he had
Speaker 5: the red trunks, but you're right in this in this episode,
Speaker 5: he does have him green. Maybe maybe he was like
Speaker 5: laundry Day and so, yeah, the other ones when they
Speaker 5: did the picture, the photo and it's name of Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's coming down and he's like, I guess there's some
Speaker 5: sort of magnet in the back obviously because Magneto's involved.
Speaker 5: And then he's coming down to I don't know if
Speaker 5: he's flying down or just jumping down, but he's about
Speaker 5: to he's about to whoop some butts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like he's about to punch poor Jean Gray.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Girl, he's looking right at her tode like his eyebrows
Speaker 5: are so beautiful.
Speaker 4: He's just like he has.
Speaker 3: The majestic arched, very thin high eyebrows in this era.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like perfectly groomed.
Speaker 5: He's like, I'm going up to the surface with my
Speaker 5: beautiful surprised eyebrows.
Speaker 3: Yes, and the as he approaches the original five X Men,
Speaker 3: we have Angel, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, beast Iceman, and Professor Xavier.
Speaker 3: And in the background we have our Brotherhood of Evil
Speaker 3: Mutants with Magneto Scarlet, which Quicksilver, Toad and Mastermind. M hm,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Okay, So we open on a dinner scene with the
Speaker 2: X Men inside of the X Mansion and Cyclops is
Speaker 2: blasting Beast hand away, saying get away from that.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's not supposed to reach across the table because
Speaker 3: manners alone.
Speaker 2: The Professor x is really big on matters.
Speaker 3: He is demerits for them. This is the era of demerits.
Speaker 3: They're dressed so fancy for this dinner at home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're all like in their suits.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all in there. They've changed into their dinner
Speaker 3: were These are teenagers, by the way, wearing full suits.
Speaker 3: This just shows the era of the sixties, which I
Speaker 3: think is great. You know, we've got Cyclops and a
Speaker 3: sharp looking blue blazer with kind of a blue pattern tie.
Speaker 3: Warren is in a pinstripe blue jacket with a blue tie.
Speaker 3: Xavier's in his classic green jacket. It Hank is wearing
Speaker 3: like a rolled up cardigan or v neck sweater, and
Speaker 3: then Bobby's got a green blazer, and then Jeane is
Speaker 3: wearing a blue dress.
Speaker 2: You know, I gotta say, Gene is she's the cook. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, because they have a normal cook. By the way,
Speaker 2: we learned that the cook is off, so Gene is
Speaker 2: responsible for the food. But I gotta say, I know
Speaker 2: Gene now today in my head as a horrible cook.
Speaker 3: Because of memes.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I know it's not Cannon, but in my
Speaker 2: head it's Cannon, Like, don't bring her, She's not gonna
Speaker 2: do good with a potato salad, you know, all of
Speaker 2: these things. Like I wonder if there's other people out
Speaker 2: there like me that think she's the bad cook.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe she is and they're just being nice.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: Look at the plate.
Speaker 4: It looks like it's like they served sea urchins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or churo's.
Speaker 4: Like really long peanuts. They I don't know what this
Speaker 4: weird bit is or whatever.
Speaker 3: Food does weird. What I don't understand is Iceman is like, ooh,
Speaker 3: I like my pie ala mode, and so he uses
Speaker 3: his ice powers to basically make ice ice on top
Speaker 3: of him, Like you don't ice cream? He calls it
Speaker 3: ice cream, but I was like, who do you think
Speaker 3: you are? Soft Serve? Oh my god, Oh there's a
Speaker 3: character named soft Serve.
Speaker 2: If you don't know where her mutant power is, she
Speaker 2: poops ice cream like edible ice cream. And it's actually
Speaker 2: they'd love it.
Speaker 4: Is this a real character?
Speaker 3: Yes, not real in the sense of you like have
Speaker 3: seen stories that feature her, but she appears in the
Speaker 3: comics because they made a joke about it. Bob Quinn
Speaker 3: is the creator of this character, and Jerry Dugan, who
Speaker 3: was writing The X Men at the time, decided to
Speaker 3: make her canically like correct and like in the story
Speaker 3: and so anyways.
Speaker 4: That's amazing, It's stupid.
Speaker 3: It's stupid. Anyways, Bobby is not making ice cream because
Speaker 3: he does not make he makes ice So I just
Speaker 3: you know, where's the science, where's the editor being like, well.
Speaker 5: Technically, what do you guys think of him being called
Speaker 5: sub Mariner or not Namemore?
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of like name war is his name,
Speaker 3: and sub Mariners a superhero name, so it's kind of like,
Speaker 3: why you know, some people like it's Cyclops, but then
Speaker 3: his name is Scott, so I I personally think nay
Speaker 3: more is you know the name that I call him by,
Speaker 3: but person day basis person day basis. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I like name war as well.
Speaker 2: It feels strong and powerful.
Speaker 3: How about the fact that your last name is Maren
Speaker 3: and you are the sub mariner?
Speaker 5: Isn't that just like another crazy serenipity thing. It's such
Speaker 5: a such a crazy thing. But it's funny because you
Speaker 5: say that because you know, when you asked me about
Speaker 5: who he would trust more, you said Wolverine or.
Speaker 4: Captain American Logan.
Speaker 5: And I just kind of in the habit lately of
Speaker 5: calling the characters by first name because I feel like
Speaker 5: the superheroes would just call each other by the first name.
Speaker 4: So this is what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless they're in the field, of course, then it's
Speaker 3: field names only. Anyways, So Bobby's trying to bite a
Speaker 3: piece of pie. He decides to close his eyes because
Speaker 3: he's looking forward to it so much. The genie inks
Speaker 3: it away with the clack of his teeth. He misses
Speaker 3: yes because he's not using silverware, and again manners table
Speaker 3: manners he's supposed to use a silverware, and Jeane says
Speaker 3: that he's not allowed to have a slice of pie
Speaker 3: because he tried to eat it with his hands.
Speaker 4: What a hooligan.
Speaker 3: But anyways, we professor is reading the paper. He's reading
Speaker 3: all about the sub Mariner, and he's like, I need
Speaker 3: to get him to join the X Men because you know,
Speaker 3: we need to beat it to him before Magneto gets
Speaker 3: to him. Uh. And then we see that Magneto of course,
Speaker 3: at the very same time, it's like, I've got to
Speaker 3: get to name More before the X Men get to him.
Speaker 3: So we clearly know our story is all about who's
Speaker 3: going to get to name More first to join their team?
Speaker 3: Is he going to join the Good Mutants or the
Speaker 3: Evil Mutants?
Speaker 5: Also just fascinating they're both thinking of him at the
Speaker 5: same time, like what was in the air?
Speaker 3: Yes, well, Charles and Eric because we're on first name
Speaker 3: basis with them too, they have a very close relationship.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: So we're at Magneto's base and Toad is like, Yo,
Speaker 3: how are you going to take down or how are
Speaker 3: you going to control nay More, Like he's so strong,
Speaker 3: there's no way that you can overpower him, but Magneto
Speaker 3: is overconfident. This is his super villain era. You know,
Speaker 3: this is before he became the much cooler complex character
Speaker 3: he is now. But he is just pure evil, as
Speaker 3: they point out every five panels that he is the
Speaker 3: pure essence of evil. So he's like, well, I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna take him down with this giant gun I have
Speaker 3: in the room full of giant guns. Yes, and then
Speaker 3: Cyclops appears behind him, and he's so scared of Cyclops
Speaker 3: that he's trigger happy. He shoots at Cyclops, which ends
Speaker 3: up being an illusion that Mastermind creates and it causes
Speaker 3: the beam to go all over.
Speaker 2: Oh no, but it's crashing through the walls and it's
Speaker 2: going to take out Wanda. But thank god, pietros around
Speaker 2: and he swoops in with a super speed and saves her.
Speaker 3: Yes, their dialogue is a little creepy to me. Why, Well,
Speaker 3: they're very much like I can't live without you, I
Speaker 3: can't go anywhere without you. I need you, I gotta
Speaker 3: save you. You are my life. They're like they're so
Speaker 3: into each other, and I know that they're brother and sister,
Speaker 3: but it's just like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's well, they have a trauma bond they do. You
Speaker 2: know it runs deep.
Speaker 3: Well, Wanda is not the Wanda that we know these days.
Speaker 3: We know Scarlet Witch to be like a super powerful badass,
Speaker 3: can take on anything. She could take down the whole Avengers.
Speaker 3: She obviously changed the world and erased mutants. You know,
Speaker 3: she is insanely powerful. However, back in the sixties, she
Speaker 3: had no control of her powers, and she was a
Speaker 3: damsel in distress and she was literally a pawn that
Speaker 3: we're about to see to be used.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything that's Scarlet Witch does is an oopsy power.
Speaker 5: He would write the female characters for sure, But that's
Speaker 5: so funny because yeah, she's like, oh whimsical and like wimpy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyways, Magneto's pissed. He's like, how dare you make
Speaker 3: that psychlops you know, vision appear? And this is all
Speaker 3: your fault. Now, I'm gonna sit down in this chair
Speaker 3: and magically make my psychic self leave my body. And
Speaker 3: I'm like, he's astral projecting, just out of the blue.
Speaker 3: I've never seen Magnito do this. Has he ever done
Speaker 3: it again? I don't know. I don't think he has.
Speaker 4: No This is really so just give up. Right like
Speaker 4: he he should definitely keep using that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this seems like something that I never knew he
Speaker 3: could do well. Also, is it like his magnetic particles
Speaker 3: like that he's reforming himself in a hyper electronic state.
Speaker 3: I don't know, so I've never seen this happen before.
Speaker 3: We're back in the danger room in the mansion and
Speaker 3: there's missiles. These these aren't like explodey missiles. They look
Speaker 3: like nerf god tiles.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, like some sort of acrobatics around these projectailes
Speaker 5: that are missing him.
Speaker 3: It's just like when I was I was just like,
Speaker 3: what are we doing with missiles inside of your house?
Speaker 3: But ye, no, I could see they're like those things
Speaker 3: were like the on the ground. You put the rocket down,
Speaker 3: push the thing in the air, makes it shoot up. Okay,
Speaker 3: I got it, Okay, I'm I'm on your side. But
Speaker 3: they're practicing all their moves. Cyclops getting control of his
Speaker 3: eebeam angels, doing his thing where he swoops around. Jean
Speaker 3: is juggling some items. She's trying to do it with
Speaker 3: her eyes shut. No, try this with my eyes shut exactly.
Speaker 4: Cyclist is just dangerously close to her with that laser
Speaker 4: like she should she should know what he's doing right now, she.
Speaker 3: Should not be closing her eyes right.
Speaker 2: So now like Professor X is jealous of Magneto, I
Speaker 2: guess right, And he's all like, okay, well I can
Speaker 2: astro project too.
Speaker 3: So what does he do?
Speaker 2: He sits down in his office, concentrates that his essence
Speaker 2: leaves his body and it starts to go to the
Speaker 2: ocean and go underwater and search for Naymar.
Speaker 3: Yes, but he can feel the presence of evil, so
Speaker 3: he decides to leave. I just love how He's just like,
Speaker 3: oh no, this, I can't. I can't encounter Magneto in
Speaker 3: our astral projected states, So he literally floats up out
Speaker 3: of the way. Bye bye. Agnito shows up. He's searching
Speaker 3: and he finds Atlantis. He finds the city under the
Speaker 3: sea and it's a regal castle, and we cut to
Speaker 3: him peeking in on name war and we get this line.
Speaker 3: So why don't we hear what Naymar has to say?
Speaker 3: And what is he upset about?
Speaker 4: Daniel? He says again, the Fantastic Four have defeated me again.
Speaker 5: The girl I love has spurned me through though I
Speaker 5: am Prince of the Deep, Monarch of the sea.
Speaker 4: My titles are hollow.
Speaker 5: My kingdom is empty and meaningless.
Speaker 2: And he picks up this one of the statues that's
Speaker 2: near buying. It's huge and he hurls it across the
Speaker 2: throat room and he continues.
Speaker 4: On, he's just upset. Man.
Speaker 5: The humans have taken me, have taken from me everything
Speaker 5: I held most dear because of them. My people have
Speaker 5: deserted me. Only you, a handful of loyal followers remain.
Speaker 5: His little minions are there.
Speaker 3: Yes, he wants, yes, he says, they gotta get out,
Speaker 3: get out of his site, get out. He doesn't want
Speaker 3: to see them anymore. And they're cowering in the corner.
Speaker 3: But Magneto, he is able to materialize himself through the
Speaker 3: room and he ens is that this person hungers for power,
Speaker 3: so he kind of plants the seed.
Speaker 5: He looks like a fish, people like, when you think
Speaker 5: of like a real mermaid would look like this, you know,
Speaker 5: not the beautiful little prince or little mermaid princess. But
Speaker 5: this monster he's like a fish, weird, like he's got
Speaker 5: blue skin and stuff. Yeah, I wonder why the war
Speaker 5: doesn't look like that. I guess he have human I guess.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's a mutant.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Anyways, Magneto basically uses this guy as a pond
Speaker 3: to plant the seed that Naymoor should should go to
Speaker 3: the surface to seek out Magneto, who also hates the humans,
Speaker 3: and Amore is just like, oh, I mean we'll get
Speaker 3: to that. We're not quite at that scene yet. But
Speaker 3: this guy, this guy is thinking. He's like, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: I'll deliver this message because then he'll be gone and
Speaker 3: then I can take over Atlantis.
Speaker 4: Well the more is not around, then he can be
Speaker 4: the new leader.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, all right.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, back at his headquarters, Professor X comes out of
Speaker 2: his ants and he gathers up all the X men
Speaker 2: around and he points to this map on the wall
Speaker 2: and he says, listen up, everybody. I think I know
Speaker 2: where Magneto is. There was a ship that was in
Speaker 2: the water and it started floating up into the sky
Speaker 2: and electromagnetically flew over to this island with a giant
Speaker 2: magnet on it. So I kind of think he's there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did the math and figured out, oh, okay, the
Speaker 3: island with the giant magnet is Magneto's island.
Speaker 4: Got it.
Speaker 3: He's like, let's come and dear our own giant ship
Speaker 3: from I don't know where this ship comes from, but
Speaker 3: we're like, we're going to get a pirate ship, a
Speaker 3: three sail, a three masked sail, pirate ships from somewhere,
Speaker 3: and we're going to float out into the sea.
Speaker 4: Why is it like an ancient pirate ship? Why can't
Speaker 4: it just be like a normal boat?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, I wish they would be like we decided
Speaker 3: to get a wood one because we don't want magneto
Speaker 3: to sense a metal one coming. But they don't stay
Speaker 3: that language that made sense, That would have made sense,
Speaker 3: and angels flying around trying to make the most of
Speaker 3: his useless self, and he's like, I'm trying to see land.
Speaker 3: I don't see land, and the Professor's like, well, I
Speaker 3: have this camera that can see much farther than you,
Speaker 3: so get back on boat.
Speaker 2: But Jean sends it up into the ear with her
Speaker 2: telekinetic power, and Bobby tries to listen to it on
Speaker 2: a little transistor radio TV in his hand, and then
Speaker 2: what happens.
Speaker 3: The camera must have lodged loose, and Beast is able
Speaker 3: to grasp it with his foot, but the rope that
Speaker 3: he's swinging on breaks and he falls to the floor,
Speaker 3: but he is caught telekinetically by Gene and then lands
Speaker 3: in a pile of snow that Bobby creates eating earlier. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's the ice cream pile of ice cream, but the
Speaker 3: camera is busted.
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, these situations seem very low stakes, but I
Speaker 2: have an appreciation for it because it really shows like
Speaker 2: the early days of them working as a team and
Speaker 2: figuring out how their powers kind of coalesced together.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, obviously this is issue six. You know,
Speaker 3: we are really early days in X Men storyline. So yeah,
Speaker 3: we're getting very easy, you know, uses of their powers
Speaker 3: as they kind of learned the extent of them or
Speaker 3: how the writers kind of figure out how they can
Speaker 3: use them.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Oh, but then we're back in Atlantis and we get
Speaker 3: a whole glow up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Daniel, tell us what you see.
Speaker 4: So so the dude that looks like a weird mermaid
Speaker 4: man is.
Speaker 5: Like, you know, if you if you go up to
Speaker 5: the surface now and help, then you know, then you
Speaker 5: can you know, be over there. And no More is
Speaker 5: like Prince no More needs no help from any man
Speaker 5: because because the dude was telling him that he was
Speaker 5: raising him, telling him that Magneto was going to help him, but.
Speaker 3: It's crap, Oh my gosh, and he's adorning him with
Speaker 3: a fur robe of sorts, and nay More is putting
Speaker 3: on his crown. I feel like I've never seen him
Speaker 3: really where this crown look before. But he's like, hey,
Speaker 3: I'm going to the surface. I'm gonna go in my best.
Speaker 4: He's got a purt coat. I don't know what that
Speaker 4: what animal would have for like sea lion? What is that?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know maybe actually maybe it's from the surface.
Speaker 3: And he's just like, listen, I'm gonna bring my furs
Speaker 3: down below. Though I don't think that that would last
Speaker 3: very well if he was swimming, it would be very heavy.
Speaker 5: Well, this, this this panel is actually interesting because so
Speaker 5: the other dude also, he says to him, you know,
Speaker 5: if you leave, there is one man who can help
Speaker 5: you battle mankind, and then magnet or no no More
Speaker 5: is like, I don't need help from anyone. But then
Speaker 5: the dude goes, yeah, but he's not a mere human prince.
Speaker 5: He's also a mutant, one of the most powerful on Earth,
Speaker 5: the same as you are. And the More says, I
Speaker 5: a mutant, Why has that thought never occurred to me before.
Speaker 5: So he's like learning that he's a mutant as that, like,
Speaker 5: you know, as as this panel transcribes, you know, he's
Speaker 5: he's like, huh, I never thought of myself as a
Speaker 5: mutant and here we are first.
Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, this is this is I guess, you know,
Speaker 3: the canon moment of him learning that he's a mutant,
Speaker 3: or at least us learning that he is a mutant,
Speaker 3: just like Magneto. Yes, and the little the Squire person says, yes,
Speaker 3: his name is Magneto and he hates the humans as
Speaker 3: much as you do. I can tell you where to
Speaker 3: find him, Siah.
Speaker 5: The last time I took an ally, I regretted it.
Speaker 5: But if Magneto is a fellow mutant.
Speaker 3: Apparently he teamed up with the Hulk in Avengers number three.
Speaker 3: But yeah, instead of swimming to the surface, he decides
Speaker 3: to take a little speedboat and it's really cute. I
Speaker 3: love it. I could totally see this as a toy. Yes, oh,
Speaker 3: I bet it was a toy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, where do he get it?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 4: You build it?
Speaker 3: Ooh. He reaches the surface a short time later, and
Speaker 3: he hops out and there he is.
Speaker 4: With Magneto Magneto's isle is indeed, well he did. Even
Speaker 4: with directions, it was hard to.
Speaker 3: Find, sub Mariner. I knew you'd come. I am Magneto.
Speaker 3: This is my island.
Speaker 5: Silence, none speaking, the presence of royalty without first being recognized.
Speaker 4: Before we talk.
Speaker 5: I shall scout this isle and make sure I have
Speaker 5: not entered some sort of hidden trap.
Speaker 3: Magneto thinks to himself, all I heard about him is true.
Speaker 3: He is every inch a monarch, and he's sure of
Speaker 3: his strength. But I must find a way to influence him,
Speaker 3: to control him. And then he says aloud, ah, you
Speaker 3: are what I need. Once he sets his eye on
Speaker 3: the scarlet, which he'll be putty in our hands.
Speaker 2: And then he grabs a scarlet witch by the arm,
Speaker 2: and Picture's like what And he's all like, let my
Speaker 2: sister go Magneto, or buy thunder owl.
Speaker 3: She's in no danger, Quicksilver. I merely want her to
Speaker 3: meet someone.
Speaker 2: And she's all like, it's all right, Pierre. True, we
Speaker 2: must trust Magneto. We both owe him our lives. How
Speaker 2: noble he looks, how slim yet muscular, he's fascinating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she looks on, Yeah she's looking at right now.
Speaker 5: He's he's like flexing with his like fists on his
Speaker 5: like hips and button.
Speaker 4: He's just like, oh yeah, his legs are spread out.
Speaker 4: I mean, this dude is like oozing sex everything on
Speaker 4: these eyelids powered by magnetism.
Speaker 2: And she thinks, why would someone so fine, so masterful
Speaker 2: want to allig himself with the evil magneto? Well, it
Speaker 2: is not for me to question. I'll approach him, tap
Speaker 2: him on the shoulder and then, oh no, I carelessly.
Speaker 3: Made a gesture. It will cause my hex power to operate.
Speaker 3: Watch those hands more in her look out.
Speaker 5: Literally, she just said we must trust him, and now
Speaker 5: she's like the evil magneto. Why would anybody all with
Speaker 5: himself with I mean, you just said, let's ally ourselves
Speaker 5: with him, because.
Speaker 3: Women can't be trusted. That's why the era.
Speaker 5: A burst of high voltage electricity.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, And he grabs this electrical like whatever wires
Speaker 3: and mechanics or whatever, and he's able to control and
Speaker 3: he wows the Scarlet witch with his strength.
Speaker 2: He's ripping out the cable wires, which I accidentally hext
Speaker 2: with his bare hand.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Wanda, what happened?
Speaker 2: It is all right, Pietro Prince Namor was subjected to
Speaker 2: a deadly amount of electricity, and it did no more
Speaker 2: than jilled him.
Speaker 4: You are the cause of that, yes.
Speaker 2: But I did not mean it. Sometimes my hex power
Speaker 2: gets out of hand. I am the Scarlet Witch and
Speaker 2: this is my brother Quicksilver. I still do not trust
Speaker 2: in Wanda.
Speaker 3: And then we get more Brotherhood of Evil mutant comments.
Speaker 3: But while they're all looking on fondly at nay More,
Speaker 3: then Angel comes bounding into the scene and he knucks
Speaker 3: Mastermind onto his ass, and Toad jumps out of the way,
Speaker 3: and yeah, and they're all kind of caught off guard.
Speaker 3: But Naymore is like, well, first of all, Magnina tries
Speaker 3: to take him down with magnetized boulders, and of course
Speaker 3: Angel can swoop out of the way because they've trained
Speaker 3: for this in the danger room. But I do love
Speaker 3: it when Naymar is just like, okay, let me handle
Speaker 3: this guy.
Speaker 5: Stand aside, Magneto. You make good use of your magnetic talent,
Speaker 5: but let the Submarriner show you what.
Speaker 4: Real power is.
Speaker 3: Magneto, Shall I say no, Let us see what Naymar
Speaker 3: can do.
Speaker 5: And then he's in the air fighting and he goes
Speaker 5: you fly well, stripling, but the sub mariners winged feet
Speaker 5: are a match for any airborne foe.
Speaker 2: Angel says, guess again, Naymore, I cannot maneuver you in
Speaker 2: the air without half trying, And.
Speaker 5: The More grabs him like he's gonna just toss him
Speaker 5: like a bag of you know, tangerines.
Speaker 4: It's not even heavy.
Speaker 5: He goes, Perhaps you can, but what good is maneuverability
Speaker 5: when it is feeded against strengths such as mine across
Speaker 5: the sky?
Speaker 4: He just tosses him like like a nerf ball, and he's.
Speaker 5: There, arrogant one of what use are your wings now? Now?
Speaker 5: When I can hurl you so far and so fast
Speaker 5: that they flatten helplessly against your side.
Speaker 3: We love over explanation. You can't show this, but but
Speaker 3: we've explained it.
Speaker 4: Listeners.
Speaker 2: Back on the pirate ship, Yeah, we have another scene
Speaker 2: of a whole page of them using their powers to
Speaker 2: help each other falling from the sky and they're catching
Speaker 2: each other with an ice slide and they're safe.
Speaker 3: Yes, But Magneto knows where the ship is and he
Speaker 3: uses his giant magnet to use whatever magnet power it
Speaker 3: could do to break a ship apart. It somehow it
Speaker 3: creates a beam of green energy that busts a wooden
Speaker 3: ship apart. I don't know how it magnet could do this,
Speaker 3: but you know it's comics, guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, incredible.
Speaker 5: Same Professor's X wheelchairs on like a floating piece of
Speaker 5: you know, shipwreck would yes, and Beast is holding him
Speaker 5: up and they're trying to help him get the safety
Speaker 5: and so they put an ice bridge that they could have.
Speaker 4: Just made to begin with.
Speaker 5: And now he's on this sort of like ice sled, yes,
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: And then the X men arrive on the island and
Speaker 2: now there's all these like thorny vines, allah belificent, all poison,
Speaker 2: you know. But Professor X is all like, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: this is fine.
Speaker 3: This is all just an illusion. Just walk right through it.
Speaker 3: And they do. They do, and they come across the
Speaker 3: giant magnet and Cyclops is like, well, I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: destroy this with my I beams. But Quicksilver is summoned
Speaker 3: and he is able to maneuver Cyclops and like pile
Speaker 3: driver him into the ground, which causes him to shoot
Speaker 3: his I beams out, but he cannot reach Quicksilver. He's
Speaker 3: too fast. But Jane on the other hand.
Speaker 2: Oh, Gene catches him with her telekinetic power and is
Speaker 2: swirling around in the air.
Speaker 5: It's a good thing to trade with those things earlier
Speaker 5: because it's the same movement, just a little swirl of.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yeah, all the things that they were practicing
Speaker 3: is now coming to play. Yeah. So she spun him
Speaker 3: around to the point of where he's so dizzy he
Speaker 3: cannot focus, and the X men are able to capture him.
Speaker 3: And Wanda, what does want to say? Magneto, you must
Speaker 3: do something. They've caught my brother, they've had Pietro. It
Speaker 3: will do them no good. They won't have a chance
Speaker 3: when I turn the full force with my magnets against them.
Speaker 3: No you can't. My brother is with them. Stop your
Speaker 3: sniveling eye. Make the decisions here, abide by them or
Speaker 3: suffer the same fate yourself. And Naymar does not like
Speaker 3: the way that Magneto speaks to this woman.
Speaker 5: This is one of my favorite name or lines, and
Speaker 5: I love it about him. He says, I am the submarriner.
Speaker 5: I ally myself with no one who speaks to a
Speaker 5: female as you do. Yeaheusts Magneto shit, and it's like
Speaker 5: uh uh, you know.
Speaker 4: To me, it's like such a telling moment of who
Speaker 4: he is and he will. He almost aligned himself with
Speaker 4: someone and didn't because of the way he dissed the woman.
Speaker 3: M hmmm, yes, yes, yes, So he tears apart Magneto's
Speaker 3: machine and then Magneto use the elements to pin nay
Speaker 3: More down.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Manito thinks he's magnetically hurling the metal machine parts at me.
Speaker 3: Yes, and they're so strong that he's he's a subdued
Speaker 3: for a while. So the X men kind of have
Speaker 3: a chance to step in here.
Speaker 4: Shake these metal pieces off of me. He's pressing them
Speaker 4: tighter and tighter.
Speaker 3: Mentally, I realize now that I misjudged you all you
Speaker 3: possess this brute strength. My power is much greater, for
Speaker 3: it is the universal power of magnetism. Rude Magnetos so grandiose.
Speaker 2: A sudden blast rocks the chamber, Jolty Magneto and as
Speaker 2: two evil henchmen, as the very aisle seems.
Speaker 3: To quiver with the force of the blast. Yes, Cyclopses
Speaker 3: blasted his way in. He's scattering everybody. But Mastermind is
Speaker 3: able to cause a fog, and the fog illusion, which
Speaker 3: you know, even if it's an illusion, they still can't see.
Speaker 3: So Ice stand decides that he's just gonna freeze the
Speaker 3: whole room. He's like, I'm just gonna turn everybody to ice.
Speaker 3: So they're trying to escape through a metal door in
Speaker 3: all the Brotherhood, Toad, Mastermind Magnido are going by this
Speaker 3: door and maybe just like you better get in here,
Speaker 3: otherwise you're gonna be frozen out there. And Scarlet Witch.
Speaker 2: Says, no, I won't leave without my brother. I can't
Speaker 2: desert Pietro.
Speaker 3: Have it your way. Then my safety is all that matters.
Speaker 3: Only through my leadership can Homo Superior take over Earth.
Speaker 2: And Toad is all like, we don't need her, Master,
Speaker 2: Her loyalty to you isn't as great as mine.
Speaker 3: So the brotherhood they're falling apart at the scenes. Magnito
Speaker 3: is obviously not a good leader, and now they're trapped
Speaker 3: in this frozen room and they're just like, uh oh,
Speaker 3: we're kind of trapped in here with a submarrator at
Speaker 3: Scarla Witch, what do we do? And Beasts and sub
Speaker 3: Mariner try to take it on, take blows to each other.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then yeah, and also you know, no more
Speaker 5: is like well, Magneto's gone, so all these metal pieces
Speaker 5: are nothing to me. Now breaks free and Scarlett Witch
Speaker 5: she says, what have you done with Quicksilver? I demand
Speaker 5: you release him? And then Beast doesn't, so no More
Speaker 5: goes the submarter commands you to obey the female set
Speaker 5: Quicksilver free.
Speaker 2: Yes, do you want to do this, Peaceline, It's pretty good,
Speaker 2: And then b says.
Speaker 3: Look, you piscortial pirate. You may be mister big when
Speaker 3: you're in the briny deep, but your imperial idiosyncrasies don't
Speaker 3: impress the x men Ooh.
Speaker 4: I will take it.
Speaker 5: Will take more than a fancy vocabulary to stop Prince
Speaker 5: no More.
Speaker 3: And I've got more. I also possess speed and agility,
Speaker 3: which far exceed your own. Oh but it doesn't matter,
Speaker 3: because nay More is a stack of meat and he
Speaker 3: cannot be He cannot be bothered with all the bands.
Speaker 5: It's like a like a weird kick to the gut
Speaker 5: that looks like a laser beam, and I think Beast
Speaker 5: just bounces off.
Speaker 4: There's nothing he can do.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and Naymar is just like taking all the hits,
Speaker 3: not even flinching. He grabs Beasts by the wrists and
Speaker 3: throws him into Angel, knocking them out. Cyclops is getting
Speaker 3: the blast on and this is kind of where you
Speaker 3: kind of see where maybe nay More isn't as strong
Speaker 3: as he thinks, because Cyclops's beam is pinning him up
Speaker 3: against the wall and he yells, surrender, nay More, you
Speaker 3: can't escape my power beam.
Speaker 4: Do your worst, Cyclopes. Unlike my strength, your power blast
Speaker 4: will soon subside and I'll finish this charade. So he's
Speaker 4: not like able to break out of it, but he
Speaker 4: can withstand it, which is also pretty powerful.
Speaker 3: Yes, don't underestimate me, nay More, don't make me use
Speaker 3: my full intensity. This is your last chance. Oh but
Speaker 3: then Scarlet Witch.
Speaker 2: Name or try to help me. I must return the favor.
Speaker 2: I'll use my hex power on the fearless X Man.
Speaker 3: And it causes the ground to crumble under his feet,
Speaker 3: making him lose his balance. And then nay Moar comes
Speaker 3: out and he's ready to put his wrath on the
Speaker 3: X Men, and then Professor has to say, oh, they
Speaker 3: have quicksilver in a mind trap. They're literally holding him hostage.
Speaker 3: Who are the enemies now, by the way, who are
Speaker 3: the baddies? He is he's being held hostage by Professor Xavier,
Speaker 3: and Scarlet Witch is so upset because she wants her
Speaker 3: brother freed, release his brain, let him be as he was.
Speaker 3: But you know, the X men are like, no, we
Speaker 3: are not going to do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No More.
Speaker 5: It was just yeah, he's He's like, you guys, deal
Speaker 5: with your own nonsense here.
Speaker 6: I'm damn out, Yes, I do love how No More
Speaker 6: is just like over it because he's just like, you
Speaker 6: guys are all idiots.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do anything with you.
Speaker 4: Well, they called him upon and he's like, nobody calls
Speaker 4: me a pon.
Speaker 5: You guys protect yourselves. No More won't do anything for
Speaker 5: you anymore. And uh, I don't know if they're going
Speaker 5: to survive this one.
Speaker 3: Yes, he starts escaping, but the Magneto uses his giant
Speaker 3: magnet and he's able to pin no Moore to the
Speaker 3: ground and it's like beating him. It's forcing him to
Speaker 3: the ground, crushing him. But what does he do. He
Speaker 3: smashes the ground with his fists because he's so strong,
Speaker 3: and it breaks the whole island and it makes the
Speaker 3: magnet make the break apart.
Speaker 4: So yeah, he is he is so strong that he
Speaker 4: was able to just destroy an.
Speaker 5: Entire island with one adult tantrum.
Speaker 3: Yes, and it says, without a word, without a backward glance,
Speaker 3: the awesome nomour rises and slowly, imperiously approaches the sea. Then,
Speaker 3: with one breath taking dive, the ruler of the Deep
Speaker 3: returns to his domain. The ocean depths have claimed their own,
Speaker 3: and he just flings himself off of a cliff into
Speaker 3: the ocean, and he's gone forever.
Speaker 4: Majestically, I will add, I mean it's a it's a
Speaker 4: beautiful dive. He spreads his.
Speaker 5: Arms like a like a glorious angel, returning to the oceans.
Speaker 3: Yes. And then they get in the magnetomobile. What does
Speaker 3: he say, the man ship? Yeah, a Magno ship. It
Speaker 3: was like, wait, wowod is the pilot by the way
Speaker 3: of Magno shot Magno ship? Okay sure? Oh? And then
Speaker 3: Cyclops is like, look, everybody's escaping, And the professor says,
Speaker 3: I allowed it. Until they join u of their own
Speaker 3: free will, they would be useless to us. Someday we
Speaker 3: must learn what mysterious worl hold Magneto has over them. Oh,
Speaker 3: I have a scarlet witch and it's quicksilver. Yeah. But
Speaker 3: then christ you were left separate. They're not on the
Speaker 3: Magno ship. Oh that's right. So this is like the
Speaker 3: breakup of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutant. Oh wow, so
Speaker 3: I wonder if this is when they go to the Avengers.
Speaker 2: Maybe, well, Gene continues on, I'm glad to see them go.
Speaker 2: That witch is much too attractive.
Speaker 3: Why does it have to be like that, Gene? Well,
Speaker 3: what does Angel say? Know something? Genie? So are you
Speaker 3: because this is, yeah, the era when Angel and Jane
Speaker 3: were like an item or hitting on each other before
Speaker 3: the cyclops stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then the other guys are arguing about doing
Speaker 5: all the work in the background.
Speaker 4: I think it's beasts.
Speaker 5: It says, help me hoist the sales of Magneto's boat,
Speaker 5: my frigid friend.
Speaker 3: Sure, everyone yacks, and I end up doing the work.
Speaker 3: Then is his next issue? The startling change occurs in
Speaker 3: the lives of the X Men. Don't dare miss it
Speaker 3: or will tell the professor? Well, I'm say it was
Speaker 3: very fun to be in this era because it's it's
Speaker 3: super silly, it is.
Speaker 2: What was your favorite part of the issue, Daniel.
Speaker 5: I mean one hundred percent where he decides to destroy
Speaker 5: the potential brotherhood that he would have created with Magneto.
Speaker 5: Only because Magneto dissed a woman. It just shows that
Speaker 5: nay more. You know, whether he's a villain or a
Speaker 5: good guy or a hero, his principles are there and
Speaker 5: he will do anything to protect the women.
Speaker 3: Yes, what was your favorite part, Chris?
Speaker 2: Oh, I would have to say the campiness of Magneto,
Speaker 2: the mustache twirling. You know, it brings us back to
Speaker 2: the nostalgic era of the yesteryear.
Speaker 3: What is this the silver age you would age?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I loved yes, Scarlett Witch being whoopsie girl. See well
Speaker 3: my classes. I can't do anything without my glasses.
Speaker 5: It's also so funny how like easily things get resolved
Speaker 5: kind of like you know, it's just like here's a problem,
Speaker 5: we find a solution. Yeah, let's go to the next one.
Speaker 5: And it's just like, you know, it's such a funny.
Speaker 5: The way superheroes worked before is like, you know, there
Speaker 5: were so there were nothing. There was nothing like that
Speaker 5: we could compare, such a fantasy thing to escape to,
Speaker 5: So it was I love it.
