[0:00] Yo yo yo. Welcome to New Rock Stars. I'm
[0:02] Eric Voss. We're live here on this
[0:05] Friday, May the 1st. It was going to be
[0:07] May. Now it is May. Uh we're doing
[0:10] another like Friday office hours chat.
[0:12] Kind of a mailbag thing. We try to do
[0:14] this on Fridays to answer your biggest
[0:16] questions. Uh I have some potential
[0:18] updates about the Avengers Doomsday
[0:20] trailer. Um I I wanted to react to some
[0:22] of these AI recreations of mine and
[0:25] others descriptions of what we saw at
[0:27] Cineacon. Uh, and I really just want to
[0:30] answer your questions. What What were
[0:31] your big questions from the from the
[0:33] week of nerd news from movies and TV
[0:36] shows and and other big releases that
[0:38] you're most excited for headed into
[0:39] these summer months? Are you seeing
[0:42] Devil Wear's Prada right now? If you
[0:44] are, get off your phone in the movie
[0:45] theater and enjoy Stanley Tucci's weird
[0:47] underbite that he has in the movie. Um,
[0:49] yeah, guys, it's so cool to be here with
[0:51] you all. Um, thank you for joining us
[0:53] for this live stream. Uh, thank you F.
[0:56] Patterson 38. I really appreciate the
[0:59] nice words. Um, uh, Ryan Newton saying,
[1:02] "Oh, we announced our big Road to
[1:04] Doomsday schedule for May." Uh, and a
[1:07] lot of people are griping like, "Why did
[1:08] you merge the three Guardians of the
[1:10] Galaxy movies into one episode and the
[1:12] three Ant-Man movies into one episode."
[1:14] Folks, I have seen I've seen the trailer
[1:17] for Avengers Doomsday, and I now know
[1:21] what kind of will be in the movie and
[1:23] what probably won't be in the movie. And
[1:25] I'm telling you, it doesn't look like
[1:26] there's room for the Guardians of the
[1:28] Galaxy to be in this movie. I could be
[1:30] wrong. Maybe Star-Lord does show up in
[1:32] the movie. I just think they're all
[1:33] going to show up in Secret Wars. And I
[1:35] do think they're worth talking about
[1:36] because James Gunn moved the ball
[1:38] forward in the MCU in a hugely
[1:40] significant way and we can't just like
[1:41] neglect that. But to to say that like
[1:44] Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2
[1:45] deserves its own episode of this podcast
[1:47] as we're running out of weeks until
[1:48] December 18th would really just limit
[1:51] the amount of time we have to talk about
[1:52] stuff that you guys actually need
[1:54] answers on. So, I hope you can forgive
[1:55] us. I'm not going to do this any less of
[1:57] a service. Uh we've done we've covered
[2:00] those movies exhaustively on New
[2:01] Rockstars. I really just wanted to
[2:03] narrow our focus and answer the
[2:05] questions about Avengers Doomsday as we
[2:08] now know it to be. Um, so check out the
[2:10] recent community post. Basically,
[2:11] tomorrow, May 2nd, will be our episode
[2:13] about Captain America: The Winter
[2:15] Soldier. The first Russo Brothers
[2:17] Avengers uh movie, uh, the movie that
[2:20] changed the Marvel Cinematic Universe
[2:22] into the Russo Brothers coded universe
[2:24] it is now. Uh, a hugely important movie
[2:26] to revisit. Next week, we're going to
[2:28] look at Guardians of the Galaxy volume
[2:29] 1, 2, and three, and the holiday special
[2:31] in one episode. Oh, excuse me. That's
[2:33] two weeks after that. Before that, we're
[2:35] going to get to X-Men: Days of Future
[2:36] Past, which I think might be in the, you
[2:38] know, after the Avengers movies and
[2:40] Civil War, might be the most important
[2:42] movie uh that the Russo brothers are
[2:44] thinking about. Um, I'm telling you,
[2:47] that movie and the way it leaves things
[2:48] in the Fox X-Men universe is going to be
[2:50] hugely important for Doomsday. So, we're
[2:51] covering that. Uh we're going to cover
[2:55] um oh uh Age of Ultron later this month
[2:59] as one episode and we're going to cover
[3:02] uh the Ant-Man trilogy including Quantum
[3:03] Mania uh at the end of the month on
[3:05] Memorial Day weekend. I think it's
[3:06] Memorial Day weekend. That's to answer
[3:08] the questions. Um
[3:11] hey Absolute Cinema, good to see you
[3:13] join us for this conversation. Uh
[3:16] Absolute Cinema, that's right. Scorsese
[3:19] is in Mandalorian and Grou. Arthur
[3:22] Dennis saying Avengers interesting stage
[3:23] trailers leaked on YouTube. No, it
[3:24] isn't. No, it isn't. No, it isn't. The
[3:27] there are there are AI versions of it
[3:29] that are recreating it. But I'm begging
[3:31] you do a better job to discern between
[3:33] what's AI and what's real. I'm going to
[3:35] help you do that as I react to one of
[3:36] these trailers. Um it it I I've looked
[3:39] everywhere on the internet. That place
[3:41] Cinemacon was like a lockbox. Nothing
[3:44] was uh recorded. Uh some people were
[3:47] like, "Oh, well, we saw the ending
[3:48] slide." I think someone maybe had the
[3:49] the ending slide recorded, but like it's
[3:52] not out there. It's not out there and
[3:54] hopefully this week. Um, so to give you
[3:57] guys an update on when the trailer will
[4:00] come out. Um, from what I know, uh,
[4:03] we're now May 1st. Um, Monday will be
[4:06] May the 4th. We are confirmed to get a
[4:08] new trailer for Christopher Nolan's The
[4:11] Odyssey during, uh, Steven Cobear on
[4:14] that's going to be Monday night. So, I'm
[4:15] thinking that trailer might hit YouTube
[4:17] on Tuesday morning, May the 5th. That
[4:20] whole week is going to be a big Disney
[4:21] Star Wars week. Uh, the two final
[4:24] episodes of Maul Shadow Lord drop on
[4:26] Monday. I don't think Disney's going to
[4:28] want to give that much attention to
[4:29] Avengers Doomsday, at least on Monday
[4:31] and Tuesday of next week. I think the
[4:33] earliest we'll see it would be
[4:35] Wednesday, May the 6th, or Thursday, May
[4:38] the 7th. Realistically, I think it's
[4:40] going to be Monday, May 11th or Tuesday,
[4:44] May 12th, if it does come out this
[4:46] month. Uh, a lot of you guys are like,
[4:48] "Well, are we even going to get it
[4:50] before July?" Yeah, I do think we will
[4:52] get it before July. Um, often Disney
[4:56] likes to release trailers at the start
[4:57] of a month um on a Tuesday, Wednesday,
[5:00] or Thursday as opposed to a Monday or a
[5:03] Friday. Um, but there's enough of these
[5:05] scoopers out there who know people who
[5:07] release stuff. Um, you know, I I don't
[5:11] have any of these contacts, but we'll
[5:12] know within 24 hours of advance. Uh, and
[5:15] I think if it were going to drop on
[5:16] Monday, we would know today. Um, so
[5:18] don't expect it on Monday, and I
[5:20] wouldn't expect it on Tuesday.
[5:23] Um, so yeah, I'm sorry that that I'm I'm
[5:27] pretty surprised Marvel Studios hasn't
[5:28] released that trailer yet because it is
[5:30] cut to be a two-minute trailer. Um, it's
[5:33] it's a trailer that belongs on YouTube.
[5:34] It's a trailer that all of you should
[5:36] see. It's a trailer that none of you
[5:37] guys should have to go to New Rockstars
[5:39] for our trailer descriptions for for
[5:40] longer than a few days. Um, it's crazy
[5:43] that they haven't done it yet. Uh, yeah,
[5:45] the movie is releasing December, but
[5:47] like so is Dune part 3, and we've gotten
[5:50] trailers for that. We've gotten a lot of
[5:52] marketing for that. We've seen the I've
[5:54] seen the first eight minutes of that
[5:55] movie. So, uh, yeah, I don't think
[5:57] Marvel Studios can afford to wait too
[5:59] much longer to release it on YouTube.
[6:01] And that's why I think they're not going
[6:02] to wait for Comic-Con. I think this
[6:04] trailer is cut. It's ready to go and
[6:05] they're just waiting for the right few
[6:06] days to do it. Um I really did think it
[6:09] was going to be this week and that it
[6:10] was going to be in front of the Devil
[6:12] Wars Prada. Um but obviously those are
[6:14] different audiences.
[6:16] One fear that I had is that Disney out
[6:20] of um fear that The Mandalorian and Grou
[6:22] is under going to underperform is going
[6:25] to release this only theatrically in
[6:27] front of The Mandalorian and Grou um
[6:30] screening. It's it's coming out on May
[6:33] 22nd. So I was like, "Oh, are they going
[6:35] to drop it and screening starting
[6:36] Thursday night, May 21st?" And then it's
[6:38] going to be like another Avatar Fire and
[6:40] Ash thing where you got to like go to
[6:43] the movie theater to see it. I'm If if
[6:46] anybody from Disney watches New Rockst
[6:48] Stars, for the love of God, do not do
[6:49] that. Just put it on YouTube at the
[6:51] start of that week, please. And then if
[6:53] you want to put it in front of
[6:54] screenings of Mandalorian and Grou,
[6:55] people will love this trailer so much.
[6:57] There will be some people who are like,
[6:58] "You know what? I got to see that on a
[7:00] big screen." Uh uh I'll I'll even make
[7:03] that offer from New Rockstars.
[7:05] If you release it on YouTube and then
[7:08] release it in uh in movie theaters, New
[7:11] Rockstars will host a big Mandalorian
[7:13] and Grou watch party at the AMC 16 in
[7:15] Burbank where we'll all go see
[7:17] Mandalorian and Grou together and I will
[7:19] only hang out after that movie ends to
[7:21] make sure people watch the whole thing.
[7:22] And uh if anybody starts throwing
[7:24] popcorn, I'll yell at them and I'll
[7:25] shame them. Uh I I I'll do whatever it
[7:27] takes to make sure people will see this
[7:29] on YouTube and not have to go see a
[7:31] movie at a movie theater. As much as I
[7:33] love theatrical distribution, at this
[7:35] point, people need to see this and it
[7:37] needs to come out on YouTube worldwide.
[7:39] Um,
[7:41] uh, Sarah Atadorian, great to see you
[7:43] joining us today. Um, Nerd Girl Jean,
[7:47] uh, yes, we're all trash bags here. Stay
[7:50] fresh cheese bags. I don't get all the
[7:53] jokes here, but I love to see all you
[7:56] joining us. Um, this is a, if you're
[7:59] just joining us, we're doing kind of a
[8:00] Friday AMA, a mailbag show, a live
[8:03] stream that we're doing here on New
[8:05] Rockstars, where I really do want to
[8:06] answer your questions. Um, Ethan, when
[8:09] will we begin the Road to Doomsday
[8:10] schedule? The May schedule is a
[8:12] community post, so if you just if you're
[8:13] on your device, just scroll back and
[8:15] you'll see what the May schedule is. And
[8:16] then sometime in May, we'll announce the
[8:18] June schedule. Uh, we really try to keep
[8:20] things flexible. Hey, thank you for the
[8:22] super chat. Kenzie asking, "Are you
[8:24] concerned that the Mandalorian Grou
[8:26] movie is just going to be one long
[8:28] season?" I've seen the first 17 minutes
[8:31] of the movie and it doesn't seem to be
[8:34] like a long season of The Mandalorian
[8:36] and Grou. It honestly seems to be like a
[8:39] really high budget episode of The
[8:40] Mandalorian Grou that's on story, that's
[8:42] on steroids. Um, really great VFX,
[8:47] really great action that I saw in the
[8:49] opening scene. Um, but honestly that bar
[8:52] was set really high by a lot of the best
[8:54] episodes of The Mandalorian and Grou.
[8:56] Um, the scenes that I saw, I couldn't
[8:58] really tell if they were shot on the
[8:59] volume. I think there is one shot inside
[9:01] the new Razor Crest cockpit where I'm
[9:03] like, "Oh, that might be in the volume."
[9:05] But the rest of it, um, looked pretty
[9:07] good. Um, like I guess what I'm still
[9:10] unsure about is like the story, you
[9:13] know, like why this story needs to be a
[9:15] movie that people see. Um, so jury's
[9:19] still out there. I I I have not seen the
[9:21] full movie yet. I think I will in the
[9:22] next couple weeks. Um I'm honestly not
[9:24] that concerned. I I I think like this
[9:27] movie was a big labor of love by John
[9:29] Favro and and I think all the press that
[9:31] he and and the crew have been doing,
[9:32] it's it doesn't I I've done some press
[9:35] events at this time and I can tell when
[9:37] the directors or showrunners are kind of
[9:39] full of it and John Favro doesn't seem
[9:41] to be full of it. He seems to have a
[9:43] genuine passion for the movie he
[9:45] created. Now, whether that's going to
[9:46] translate to a to a good movie, I have
[9:49] no idea. I have no idea. Uh, but I it
[9:52] does seem to be uh handcrafted in a way
[9:55] that a lot of Star Wars movies have not
[9:57] been. So, I'm excited to see it. I
[10:00] honestly th those first 17 minutes
[10:02] cooked hard enough for me that uh I'm
[10:04] looking forward to the rest of the
[10:05] movie. The movie is 2 hours 20 minutes.
[10:07] So, I'm like there's still 2 hours of
[10:09] this movie that I haven't seen and the
[10:11] trailers don't really seem to tell us
[10:12] like what the rest of the movie is. I
[10:14] have I'll say this. I have far bigger
[10:16] concerns for other much balihood summer
[10:20] releases than The Mandalorian and Grou.
[10:22] And if you have questions about those,
[10:24] I'll answer.
[10:27] Um, let's see.
[10:31] Thanks for reminding us, Nerd Girl Jean.
[10:34] Oh, funny you should ask, Anthony. What
[10:37] I'm wearing is our new Doom Iron Man uh
[10:41] crossover shirt. I don't know what it's
[10:42] called. I've been calling it nude chest
[10:45] so blessed. I don't think that's what
[10:47] it's called, but you can get it at
[10:48] nerdriot.shop. It's a cool shirt. I like
[10:50] it. It feels good. Um I like these black
[10:54] t-shirts. They hide all kinds of sins.
[10:57] I'm talking about like my um my poor
[11:02] physical condition.
[11:05] Okay, I see a question here. What about
[11:07] the many time machine Steve used to
[11:09] return the Infinity Stones? Do you think
[11:11] the time machine is going to be
[11:12] mentioned in Doomsday at least? You
[11:14] know, it didn't show up in the trailer
[11:15] that I saw, and it hasn't shown up in
[11:17] the teasers that I've seen, but I think
[11:19] you're talking about the the quantum
[11:20] tech wrist device that that Tony Stark
[11:23] made. This is this kind of watch that
[11:26] you uh connect pin particles to. And uh
[11:30] Steve did grab four of those vials from
[11:33] 1970. So, I think he has a couple extra
[11:35] charges, but I I would imagine if he
[11:37] made the decision to stay in the past,
[11:39] he um would have destroyed those vials
[11:42] to eliminate the risk of going ahead or
[11:44] the risk of like, you know, someone
[11:46] getting into his house and stealing it
[11:48] or the risk of like his kid, you know,
[11:51] accidentally sending himself through
[11:52] time. I I don't think he would still
[11:54] have them, but I do think his decision
[11:57] will get mentioned. I think his decision
[11:58] to stay in the past is kind of what led
[12:00] to some kind of incursion. It's why he's
[12:02] a target by Dr. Doom. And honestly,
[12:04] after seeing the trailer and seeing
[12:06] Steve Rogers in his uh in his new
[12:09] attire, that that's kind of like the big
[12:11] question I have is like, okay, I I
[12:13] understand how he stayed in the late 40s
[12:15] and now that he has a kid now, it's in
[12:16] the early 50s. Um, how does he catch up
[12:19] with the with Thor and the other
[12:21] Avengers as they are now in the events
[12:22] of Doomsday? Did some time travel take
[12:25] place or or just is the nature of
[12:27] incursions such that it can bend time
[12:30] and space in a specific way? Um did did
[12:34] Steve get relocated by the TVA? That
[12:36] that's a theory I played with before.
[12:40] Hey everybody, if you're just joining
[12:41] us, oh we're doing like a Friday office
[12:44] hours mailbag thing where I'm just here
[12:45] to kind of answer questions you have.
[12:48] Um
[12:50] let's see. Paleo Ant asking why couldn't
[12:52] people live stream or video call the
[12:54] trailer. Maybe you're talking about at
[12:57] Cineacon in Las Vegas. Like how come the
[12:59] people in the room couldn't have their
[13:00] devices out? Um because security was
[13:02] that tight. Um they warned us every day
[13:05] of the panel there. We were in a press
[13:07] section, but that whole room, the Dolby
[13:09] Coliseum in Vegas at Caesar's Palace was
[13:11] heavily patrolled by very talented and
[13:14] very good at their job security folks
[13:17] who if you had your device out, anything
[13:20] that would be pointed, they were
[13:21] watching everyone like hawks. And
[13:23] anytime someone might have accidentally
[13:25] had their phone in a way that looked
[13:27] like they were recording, there was like
[13:28] three security people who would pounce
[13:30] on them and then take them out and
[13:32] embarrass them in front of all their
[13:34] colleagues and be like, "Show me your
[13:35] phone. delete whatever you have on
[13:36] there. Okay, you can sit back. And if
[13:38] some people were just completely thrown
[13:40] out. Um so that's why and and while um
[13:43] for the Disney panel, Disney did change
[13:45] the rules where you could record at
[13:46] least when people were doing speeches on
[13:48] stage or when the Disney executives or
[13:50] when the when Feige or the Rooster
[13:52] Brothers were out there, as soon as
[13:53] footage was shown, devices down. And
[13:56] they were they were on top of it. Um, so
[13:58] and specifically they sent out another
[14:00] um a follow-up email the day of saying
[14:03] like no, you can't uh you you cannot
[14:07] live stream. And I think that was their
[14:08] concern is that people would be just
[14:10] live streaming part of it. They they say
[14:12] you couldn't live stream any of the
[14:14] speeches because they didn't want that
[14:15] live stream to accidentally continue
[14:16] when footage began. So I'm telling you
[14:19] it's physically impossible. They also
[14:21] had these like green laser pointers to
[14:22] just kind of embarrass you. And that's
[14:24] why like this this AI thing I'm about to
[14:26] show you is certainly not real. I even
[14:29] the creator of it is saying it was AI,
[14:30] but it's fooling enough people and I'm
[14:32] telling you if you would never have a
[14:34] static shot from that angle that
[14:36] wouldn't have been disrupted or
[14:37] interrupted in some way.
[14:40] I think Berg is in the chat. Yeah. So
[14:43] Berg is there. Uh I think we got Josh
[14:45] and Brian in the chat. Josh and Brian
[14:47] helped set up this chat. Um,
[14:52] oh yeah, that was uh I answered your
[14:54] question, I think already, but thank you
[14:56] also for your super chat donation. That
[14:58] was very generous. Uh, super chat for
[15:00] Matt in the chat. Why do you think
[15:02] Marvel's marketing team is doing their
[15:03] fans so dirty? It's rude at this point.
[15:06] [sighs]
[15:07] I don't think Marvel considers it rude.
[15:10] I I think Marvel is uh I think they're
[15:14] trying to focus on Daredevil born again
[15:17] right now. And I think they really do
[15:20] believe that once they start marketing
[15:21] Avengers Doomsday, they're going to put
[15:23] enough on YouTube that, you know, this
[15:25] kind of gap period that we're in now
[15:27] will just kind of be forgotten. Uh, and
[15:29] they might be right about that. I think,
[15:32] you know, imagine in two weeks, uh, you
[15:34] have the Avengers Doomsday trailer on
[15:36] YouTube and we're going to be all over
[15:38] it. You guys are going to be pouring
[15:40] over it. All of your social platforms
[15:41] are just going to be obsessed with this.
[15:43] Are you really going to remember this
[15:44] period between midappril and miday where
[15:49] you're like I still want it? I think
[15:50] they're they think that they can play
[15:52] our expectations. Um I'm here to say
[15:56] don't wait that much longer and release
[15:59] it on Wednesday, please. Um but yeah, I
[16:03] I can understand why you think it's why
[16:05] why you think it's rude. But I will say
[16:07] that like, you know, everyone was
[16:08] criticizing Sony the 24 hours before
[16:11] they they showed the Spider-Man brand
[16:13] new day trailer where they would just
[16:14] release these one to two second
[16:15] snippets. And I remember there were a
[16:16] lot of takes saying, "Is this the
[16:18] dumbest marketing move of all time?" I
[16:20] remember when they announced the the
[16:21] cast with the set chairs, there were a
[16:23] lot of people who talk about movies for
[16:25] a living who were saying, "This was the
[16:26] dumbest marketing ploy of all time." And
[16:28] I just think anything different or
[16:30] anything out of the norm of expectation
[16:32] is going to be critiqued that way. But
[16:34] as soon as like the thing comes out,
[16:36] everyone retroactively looks at those
[16:38] things as genius. This the Spider-Man
[16:40] brand new day trailer broke records on
[16:41] social media. So I don't think it I
[16:44] think we only feel this way right now.
[16:46] And I know we can only live in the
[16:47] present, but this too shall pass. U but
[16:51] I understand feeling that way. Hey,
[16:54] thank you for becoming re-uping as a
[16:56] rewatcher Sarah.
[16:59] Um, pretty soon I'm going to be jumping
[17:03] over. Oh, another super chat saying
[17:05] Hannah saying, "Oh, now that the Oscars
[17:07] is allowing multiple roles for people to
[17:08] be nominated, example, Anne Hathaway
[17:10] with five movies this year, who do you
[17:12] wish could have had multiple
[17:14] nominations?" Well, um, I think the
[17:16] change that was announced today is that
[17:19] uh, an actor can be nominated for
[17:20] multiple uh, roles in a single movie,
[17:24] right? Maybe I misread that, but I'm
[17:26] pretty sure people could be nominated
[17:27] for multiple roles in like different
[17:29] categories or or or in different um like
[17:32] you can have people who were nominated
[17:34] twice for best actor for different
[17:35] movies in a year, but maybe I'm wrong.
[17:37] Um I have to double check on that. Um
[17:41] but who do you think could have had
[17:42] multiple nominations? I think Michael B.
[17:43] Jordan could have had a nomination for
[17:45] Smoke and Stack in Sinners. I think he
[17:48] was that good. I I know that DiCaprio
[17:50] has been nominated both for leading
[17:51] actor and supporting actor in a year
[17:53] before um that's happened before. Um I
[17:57] don't think Anne Hathaway will be
[17:59] nominated multiple times this year. Uh
[18:02] maybe end of Oak Street will be that
[18:03] good. She she was fine in Devil Wars
[18:05] Prada 2. Um I don't think she's going to
[18:07] be that great in the in the Odyssey. I
[18:10] think there's going to be a lot of great
[18:11] performances in that movie, but who
[18:13] knows? As as Odysius's wife, it's a huge
[18:15] role. It's like the second biggest role
[18:17] in the movie potentially. So maybe uh
[18:20] maybe she is kind of the Emily Blunt
[18:22] role of that movie. I'm trying to think
[18:25] who do you wish could have had multiple
[18:26] who let you guys let me know in the
[18:28] chat. Who do you think in a single year
[18:30] should have had multiple nominations. I
[18:33] mean Zenaia this year is going to have a
[18:35] pretty big year from from Dune. Um,
[18:45] someone just saying, "We want Doom."
[18:47] Yeah, I get it. Um, wow. Another super
[18:50] chat saying, "Invincible repeatedly
[18:52] shows characters survive injuries that
[18:53] should be fatal. What are we actually
[18:55] meant to see as real stakes? Physical
[18:57] danger, emotional fallout, or something
[18:58] else entirely driving the tension?" From
[19:00] Indie.
[19:02] Uh, wow, great question. I I think you
[19:06] should ask the person who people think
[19:08] is me when he appears on other podcasts,
[19:10] Robert Kirkman. Um I I think I might
[19:13] have to shave my beard so I don't look
[19:16] like Robert Kirkman or JD Vance anymore.
[19:18] Would it freak you guys out if I just
[19:20] really reduced this to stubble and
[19:22] started wearing glasses or something? I
[19:24] just I'm getting tired of getting tagged
[19:26] in like Robert Kirkman post be like,
[19:28] "Eric, is that you?" Uh it's it's
[19:31] flattering to be compared to Robert
[19:33] Kirkman. not as flattery for the other
[19:35] guy, but I admit it's pretty funny. Um,
[19:38] the
[19:40] uh when the question here of like what
[19:42] are we meant to see real stakes,
[19:43] physical danger, emotional fallout, or
[19:45] something else entirely driving the
[19:47] tension? I really don't know because
[19:49] you're talking about Viltromites in that
[19:50] show. Uh, it's really hard to know. Um,
[19:54] but I I don't know. I feel like I
[19:56] haven't had that much trouble watching
[19:58] Invincible and knowing like when it
[19:59] matters versus when it doesn't. Um, I
[20:02] think if anything it it it impacts me
[20:04] more to see someone who's like beaten to
[20:06] a bloody pulp and then they they gasp
[20:08] and they're still alive. I mean, we had
[20:09] that on the boys recently. I think
[20:11] that's kind of the fun thing about these
[20:13] really violent superhero shows is seeing
[20:15] characters who are beaten nearly to
[20:16] death and and see the emotional fallout
[20:19] after that. I'm sorry if that doesn't
[20:20] answer your question. I just I honestly
[20:22] don't know the answer to it. Oh, hello
[20:25] Duvall. Did he ever do OA in Boy Scouts?
[20:28] Well, Matt, uh, the OA is a, um,
[20:34] is a secret cult within scouting. OA
[20:39] refers to Order of the Arrow. Um, and
[20:41] yes, I did do OA. I did not do
[20:42] Brotherhood. I was a Sash and Dash, as
[20:45] we call it. Uh, so, but I was an Eagle
[20:47] Scout. Um, I got my Eagle Scout in, uh,
[20:50] 2005. Um, yeah, I did scouting. Um, and
[20:54] OA I thought was pretty cool. I just
[20:56] wanted to get that sash so I could wear
[20:58] it to merit badge ceremonies. Um, but
[21:01] once I got the sash, I was like, "Oh, I
[21:03] don't want to do all these other things
[21:04] that they do." Um, maybe I would have
[21:06] had more fun if I did though. Uh, but
[21:08] yes, I did the whole I guess I can say
[21:11] that I did OA. I just can't tell you
[21:13] what I did for it. But even the fact
[21:15] that I have to say that was just kind of
[21:17] culty and weird. Um, nothing awful
[21:19] happened. Basically, I had to stay quiet
[21:21] for a whole day and and
[21:24] like clear out a bunch of brush from a
[21:26] popular camping ground in North Florida,
[21:28] and I hated it. And I was like, this
[21:30] just feels like a way to have unpaid
[21:32] labor throughout the year. I that's why
[21:35] I was like, I'm not going to join a
[21:36] group that does this kind of stuff. Um I
[21:38] have other service projects like around
[21:40] my neighborhood that I can do.
[21:44] Um
[21:45] Charles saying, "Did you see that pick
[21:47] of Foggy with a beard in court?" I
[21:49] didn't see that photo link, please. Um,
[21:52] now if you guys are going to ask me
[21:54] questions about the Daredevil Born Again
[21:55] finale, the season 2 finale, I now have
[21:57] seen it. So, I I don't want to like
[21:59] answer any kind of theory questions. I
[22:01] can kind of give you hints, but I don't
[22:02] want to spoil anything. Um, but I now
[22:05] have seen it. Um, so I uh as of right
[22:09] now, um, so yeah, sorry I I can't really
[22:13] indulge a whole lot of speculation and
[22:15] theory about it, but I can say I liked
[22:17] it. I really like the finale. I I
[22:19] thought it it it lives up to the hype of
[22:21] the season. It It doesn't fix every
[22:24] gripe that I had with the season, but
[22:25] overall, it's a really cool, really
[22:27] worthy finale. I think you guys will
[22:29] like it. Some insane insane stuff
[22:33] happens.
[22:36] Uh William asking, "Will you guys be
[22:38] covering Comic- Con?" Yeah, we're going
[22:39] to be in San Diego. We're going to be in
[22:41] Hall H. We're going to be covering it
[22:42] all.
[22:44] Um,
[22:45] who's on your fantasy box office team?
[22:48] Yens Rock, I don't have a fantasy box
[22:51] office team. Are you just saying like
[22:52] who do you think will be the biggest
[22:53] performers of the year? Toy Story 5 and
[22:55] Spider-Man Brand New Day are going to be
[22:57] the biggest performers of the summer. I
[22:58] think Toy Story 5 will make even more
[22:59] money than Spider-Man Brand New Day. Um,
[23:02] I think beyond that, Minions and
[23:05] Monsters will do really well. The
[23:06] Odyssey is going to do really well. I
[23:08] don't know if these June releases other
[23:10] than Toy Story are going to do that
[23:11] well. I think um Scary Movie 6 is going
[23:14] to surprise everyone. I think there's a
[23:16] chance that um Jackass um will
[23:19] outperform Supergirl. Probably not that
[23:22] great of a chance, but I think Jackass
[23:23] will do better than you think and
[23:24] Supergirl will do worse than you think.
[23:26] I don't know if that answered your
[23:27] questions.
[23:37] Hey, thanks for your donation, Tony.
[23:42] Thank you for saying that. Um I'm just
[23:45] saying there are some side by sides. A
[23:48] lot of people saying do not shave.
[23:49] That's what my wife says. She's like I
[23:51] can't imagine you at one point I did
[23:53] have to shave because I was in the
[23:54] Groundlings. Um I was doing Writer's Lab
[23:57] and you're not allowed to have a beard
[23:58] when you're doing that because they want
[24:00] to allow you to have fake facial hair
[24:02] and mustaches for different characters
[24:04] that you play. So I had to shave. Uh,
[24:08] like I've had this beard for the past 13
[24:10] years, no 14 years. And then I had to
[24:13] shave in 2018 and it really I was with
[24:16] my wife at that point. We were dating
[24:18] and she's like, "Regrow that as soon as
[24:20] you can."
[24:22] Yeah, I think my kid will freak. I think
[24:24] I don't want to scare my son. So maybe
[24:26] that's a good reason why.
[24:30] [sighs and gasps]
[24:31] Hector, I agree.
[24:34] Yeah,
[24:36] I I have this theory that part of the
[24:39] reason I've had issues with Daredevil
[24:41] Born Again is that it's kind of without
[24:43] foggy in it, it's kind of devoid of
[24:45] humor. Like it has levity in it, but
[24:48] it's like the only MCU live action thing
[24:50] that's ever been released that has no
[24:52] jokes in it. Like there's there's no h
[24:54] it's meant to be serious. But even like
[24:56] serious shows like The Sopranos,
[24:59] Breaking Bad, those shows have some of
[25:02] the funniest things in them. Even in
[25:04] their very dark final seasons, have
[25:05] moments of levity. Daredevil Born Again
[25:07] has no humor. The the the
[25:11] City Without Fear Fisk video, I guess,
[25:13] is trying to be kind of wacky, but I
[25:15] think it's so confusing and so
[25:16] overwhelming that I didn't find it that
[25:18] funny. So I think when I but I think
[25:20] people like that it it isn't trying to
[25:22] make jokes. It's trying to tell a very
[25:24] serious story. So when I do bits on top
[25:26] of it like recognize that it's weird
[25:28] that Frank Castle's SON SAYS GET HIM
[25:30] DADDY UH AND tells them to keep killing
[25:32] people. I think there's people who watch
[25:34] Daredevil born again who are like now is
[25:36] not the time. It's like they're sitting
[25:37] at a funeral and they don't want to see
[25:39] the alter server laughing which I did. I
[25:42] used to be an alter server and we would
[25:44] mess with each other and try to make
[25:46] each other laugh during funerals which I
[25:47] think is like one of the worst things
[25:49] you could ever do. Uh that was just a
[25:51] prank we would do. U because like yeah
[25:53] you don't want to freaking laugh.
[25:56] So I don't know. What do you guys am I
[25:57] am I on to something with that theory?
[25:59] What do you think Brian? Do you think
[26:00] people have a sense of humor with
[26:02] Daredevil War again?
[26:03] >> I think so.
[26:04] >> Sorry. I think I think you missed a
[26:05] super.
[26:06] >> Uh oh.
[26:14] >> Oh, wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Do you think
[26:16] that trade shows like Cineacon and the
[26:18] now extinct E3 are misused by studios
[26:20] when their panels are so exciting to the
[26:21] end consumer? Both have the same
[26:23] discourse surrounding them in my
[26:25] opinion. Um,
[26:28] no. I don't I don't think they I don't
[26:32] think they're misused by studios because
[26:35] I mean I can't really speak to E3. I
[26:37] wasn't there for that discourse, but I
[26:38] can say having been there at Cineacon
[26:41] and having covered Cineacon from afar
[26:43] without being in the room for several
[26:44] years before that, I understand that
[26:46] they're they're making these promotions
[26:49] for people who work at movie theaters.
[26:52] And yes, there is news that's happening
[26:53] and that's why press is invited. But
[26:56] they're they're fighting a battleground
[26:58] at movie theaters all over the world
[27:00] there in Vegas. Um they're not there to
[27:02] make marketing that's like meant to be
[27:04] seen
[27:06] um by everyone online. Um, I think in
[27:09] the case of Avengers Doomsday, that
[27:11] trailer was 2 minutes long and it was
[27:13] cut to be a YouTube trailer. But like,
[27:15] you know, audiences online should not be
[27:17] able to see the first several minutes of
[27:19] the of uh of Dune part 3 or the the five
[27:24] minute sizzle reel of Digger. Uh, or I'm
[27:27] trying to think or that much of the
[27:28] Mandalorian and Grou, you know, like I
[27:30] can understand like that should be shown
[27:32] to exhibitors in a large room with a
[27:35] huge screen. That's how we should see
[27:36] it. So, I think it's a unique trade show
[27:39] that um that I think these studios
[27:44] should think about as part of a
[27:47] twohanded strategy. One being for the
[27:51] mar for the exhibitors and then the next
[27:53] week should have something else. I think
[27:55] a good example of this was in 2025,
[27:58] James Gun was there to show Superman
[28:00] footage um for that summer's movie and
[28:03] literally the next day as the Disney
[28:05] panel was starting, he released that uh
[28:07] that four minutes or whatever was online
[28:09] on YouTube. Uh and I think he felt that
[28:11] those four minutes would work on a on a
[28:14] YouTube setting. Um I think James Gunn
[28:17] is kind of plugged in with the internet
[28:19] in ways that not all movie studios are
[28:21] and not all filmmakers are. Um, but I I
[28:24] do I don't know if it's in general I
[28:26] wouldn't say it's in general misused. I
[28:28] think certain examples um are are
[28:32] missteps, but overall I I think they
[28:35] kind of know what they're doing. I I I
[28:37] think it's hard to judge it while it's
[28:38] still happening. And I think after
[28:40] Avengers Doomsday comes out this time
[28:42] next year, we can look back and say,
[28:43] "Okay, was that movie properly
[28:45] marketed?"
[28:47] Hi Marian.
[28:51] You're a Cub Scout. Not the same thing.
[28:54] I think I would have had more fun in Boy
[28:56] Scouts if I was a Cub Scout first.
[28:58] Garrett asking, "Do you think they're
[29:01] waiting for Daredevil born again finale
[29:03] in the Punisher special presentation
[29:04] before releasing the Doom trailer?"
[29:07] Could be. Could be. I mean, I don't
[29:10] know. I I I think there have been times
[29:12] where they've had they've released
[29:15] trailers for things right as like Disney
[29:18] Plus things were happening. Wasn't it
[29:20] like an episode of Daredevil Born Again
[29:22] season one? Like that day they that's
[29:25] when they announced the uh they did the
[29:28] Avenger chairs, the set chairs thing. I
[29:30] think March 27th, 2025, there was a new
[29:34] episode of Daredevil Born Again that
[29:35] morning. So, I don't think they care
[29:37] that much about overlapping with some of
[29:39] the Disney Plus stuff. I know I said
[29:41] that like they're really focused on
[29:42] Daredevil right now, but I do think they
[29:46] think they could do multiple things at
[29:47] once. I think if anything there's um
[29:49] it's rare that they counterprogram two
[29:52] Disney theatrical releases on YouTube
[29:54] the same day.
[29:57] Oh, we have another opinion. Please
[30:00] shave. Glasses are fun, but I don't need
[30:02] them.
[30:04] Do a mustache.
[30:07] I really don't want to scare my son.
[30:10] Um I know a lot of people are dying and
[30:12] doomsday, but do you think the
[30:13] announcements of Katherine Newton in the
[30:14] film seals Scott's fate? I don't I
[30:17] wouldn't say that. I think Paul Rudd is
[30:19] so fun and he's so beloved by all these
[30:21] filmmakers and film executives that like
[30:24] I think he's kind of low status enough
[30:27] to where I don't see him dying in this
[30:29] movie. Uh I think a lot of the X-Men are
[30:32] going to die in this movie. Celeste, no.
[30:34] I have not seen the Michael Jackson
[30:36] movie. I've not seen it yet at least.
[30:39] Hey, thanks for your donation. Lion of
[30:41] Demise.
[30:43] Uh, Brave King saying, "Do you have you
[30:45] been following The Boys? What do you
[30:46] think? The last two episodes felt a
[30:48] little fillers. I don't want this to be
[30:49] Game of Thrones season 8." Um, I have
[30:51] been following The Boys. I've been
[30:52] really enjoying Jessica's breakdowns of
[30:54] all those episodes. I um I can
[30:56] understand the criticisms that these two
[30:58] recent episodes feel like I wouldn't
[31:01] call them fillers, but what I will say
[31:02] is that they do feel like episodes of a
[31:04] season that's earlier in the run of a
[31:06] show. Um, I think the the whole idea of
[31:09] the fungus that are turning people
[31:10] against each other is uh is a really fun
[31:12] idea if we're like in season two or
[31:14] season 3. But here in season 5, I'm kind
[31:16] of like, all right. But what's important
[31:18] for a final season is that every episode
[31:21] drives us toward the ending in some way.
[31:24] And I do feel like each of these
[31:25] episodes has moved the ball forward in
[31:27] some way. Um, I think the most recent
[31:30] episode, the firecracker episode did
[31:32] that more significantly. Um, but I I I'm
[31:37] enjoying this final season a lot. I I
[31:39] think the um I don't think it's going to
[31:42] be Game of Thrones season 8 because Game
[31:43] of Thrones season 8, we learned during
[31:45] the Battle of Winterfell that we were in
[31:47] trouble. We learned like, oh wait, this
[31:50] is a very long episode where we cannot
[31:51] see anything because it's poorly lit.
[31:54] And uh and the way it ended with just
[31:57] Arya making the big move instead of Jon
[31:59] Snow having this epic battle uh with the
[32:01] Night King, I was like, "Oh, uh-oh.
[32:04] Uh-oh." And then um that was like I
[32:06] think it was a sixth episode final
[32:08] season and that was like during episode
[32:09] 3 and then we all kind of knew every
[32:12] episode that came after that that we
[32:14] were in trouble. So we're more than
[32:15] halfway through the boys final season
[32:16] and I'm enjoying it way more than I
[32:19] enjoyed the final season. Um, I I don't
[32:22] think it will be as controversial
[32:23] ultimately as uh Stranger Things final
[32:26] season or as um as Game of Thrones final
[32:30] season, but you know, I may eat those
[32:33] words.
[32:36] Um yeah, Nate, we were talking about
[32:37] this before. I I think uh if you're
[32:41] making this um if you're making any kind
[32:43] of polymarket bet or Khi bet based on
[32:45] this, don't don't I don't have any
[32:47] inside sources. I but I would say
[32:49] there's a more than a 50% chance that we
[32:51] get the trailer on YouTube in May. But
[32:54] if you make a bet and lose money on it,
[32:56] don't come after me. I think that's a
[32:58] big mistake to to go to New Rockstars
[33:00] for for that kind of information.
[33:05] Uh thanks Brave King for liking it.
[33:09] Yeah, E3 is gone now, but we do have IGN
[33:12] Live. New Rockstars might be doing
[33:14] something with IGN Live this year. We'll
[33:16] see.
[33:18] Um, I don't know what you like about
[33:22] Whalefall, but it was like the craziest
[33:24] thing I saw at Cineacon. Austin Abrams
[33:26] is playing a scuba diver in a movie with
[33:28] Josh Brolan in it, and we saw like a
[33:30] whole scene, and it freaked me out, and
[33:31] it's still like messing with me.
[33:35] Um,
[33:43] Hannah asking, "Are you are y'all
[33:44] streaming during the upfronts?" Um, I I
[33:47] don't know. I don't know the exact
[33:49] schedule of the upfronts, but yes, if it
[33:51] if it looks like big stuff is going to
[33:52] be announced during the upfronts, we
[33:54] probably will. If it's during the
[33:55] workday, there's a good chance that we
[33:56] live stream during it and cover all the
[33:58] news as it comes out.
[34:00] Um, Isord is asking if Magic and Doctor
[34:04] Strange team up in the Mutant Saga. Um,
[34:07] I think that'd be a fun way to bring
[34:09] Doctor Strange into some Mutant Saga
[34:11] stories. Um, but I do think the the MCU
[34:15] is going to have their own logic of
[34:16] which characters can be mutants uh based
[34:19] off of their genetic condition that they
[34:21] were born with.
[34:23] Andrew saying, "Do you think we will get
[34:25] the Daredevil trailer or the Doomsday
[34:28] trailer rather with live action Moana
[34:29] similar to Fantastic 4 and Avatar last
[34:32] July?" I I'm really hoping we get the
[34:35] Doomsday trailer before July. I think it
[34:38] would be too long to wait. I think the
[34:40] latest you can wait is like the last
[34:42] week in May. At that point, people are
[34:44] just going to lose their minds.
[34:50] What's your guess in where our defenders
[34:52] and Tom Spider-Man coexist during
[34:54] Doomsday?
[34:56] Uh, we have an episode of the sneak peek
[34:58] coming out on Sunday where Berg and I do
[35:00] our best to try to like reconcile how
[35:03] the Daredevil characters fit into the
[35:05] world of Manhattan as it is in Doomsday.
[35:07] Now that we have that Avengers Tower is
[35:10] in the skyline of Daredevil, um there's
[35:13] a lot of ways it could work. I I think
[35:16] um they're just gonna be sidelined
[35:18] during the events of Doomsday and season
[35:20] 3 might take place before or kind of
[35:23] co-terminus with the events of Doomsday.
[35:25] We could have a postredit scene to
[35:26] season 3 that kind of connects
[35:28] everything like the Ant-Man and the Wasp
[35:30] postredit scene ended up tying in with
[35:31] Infinity War um and making Daredevil a
[35:34] very important character in Secret Wars.
[35:37] And I don't think Daredevil will be in
[35:38] Doomsday, but I I do think there is like
[35:41] I do think there's room for him in a
[35:43] huge Doomsday movie.
[35:48] Uh Sarah asking about my dog Darla.
[35:50] She's doing good. H we're in a new house
[35:53] that we're renting and she's like
[35:56] freaking out because the light with
[35:59] daylight savings time it's now brighter
[36:01] on that side of the house. So, she kind
[36:02] of has this cicadian rhythm and just
[36:04] starts freaking out at all the squirrels
[36:05] running on the roof of that part of the
[36:06] house. So, we're just waking up to barks
[36:08] at like 6:00 a.m. now. It's driving me
[36:10] nuts. But, she's a sweetheart. She
[36:12] doesn't like strangers, though. Will you
[36:15] cover The Testament? I would love for
[36:16] you guys to cover it. Uh, so the
[36:18] Testament is the um the movie or the the
[36:21] Hulu series that's set in the world of
[36:23] The Handmaid's Tale. I've seen some
[36:25] clips of it. It's too dark, honestly.
[36:28] It's too dark. It's too depressing for
[36:30] me to cover it. I I can't I can't watch
[36:33] that show right now. I'm sorry. It's
[36:35] just too scary. It's too dystopian for
[36:38] me. I hope you like it. Um but The
[36:40] Handmaid's Tale just started to get too
[36:42] like I can't watch this. Um it's for
[36:48] whatever reason just too dark for me.
[36:51] Um did you find out why Dr. Doom had to
[36:53] be Robert Downey Jr.? I did not that
[36:55] that question is not answered in any of
[36:57] the footage I've seen and it hasn't been
[36:59] answered in any interview other than
[37:01] like all the people saying we really
[37:04] like Robert Downey Jr. and Downey saying
[37:05] I really wanted this challenging part
[37:07] after playing Lewis Strauss in
[37:09] Oppenheimer. Um I think they just wanted
[37:12] him because they he's a big star. He
[37:14] means a lot to Marvel fans. They wanted
[37:15] to show that he can play multiple
[37:17] characters. I still think it's the new
[37:19] mask, same task phrasing really needs to
[37:22] be answered there.
[37:24] Um, all right. Here's what we're going
[37:26] to do now. Uh, I made this promise to
[37:27] people who um who saw this on Twitter
[37:32] and were tagging me in this. Uh there's
[37:34] a a YouTube channel called Yellow
[37:37] Minutes, I believe, who um made an AI
[37:41] version of the Doomsday trailer based
[37:43] off of like descriptions that they must
[37:46] have gotten from new rock stars and
[37:47] other media outlets who were in the
[37:49] room. And I know they must have derived
[37:51] it from us because like in my
[37:52] description, I worded things in what I
[37:54] now realize was kind of a confusing way.
[37:56] And they just like took that confusion
[37:58] and ran with it like it was fact. And
[38:00] I'm like, "Oh, no, no, no, no. I wish
[38:02] you had asked me. I I could have helped
[38:03] you like a police sketch artist kind of
[38:05] get something more accurate here. So, um
[38:09] yeah, I I think the person who created
[38:10] this is not trying to hide the fact that
[38:12] this is AI. It's like over 3 minutes
[38:14] long, so already we know it's
[38:17] I'm just going to take this bit by bit
[38:18] and we're kind of la we're going to
[38:19] laugh at it uh together and I and I want
[38:22] to like clear the record on like what in
[38:24] this is actually accurate to what I saw
[38:26] and what what of it is completely
[38:28] ridiculous and and AI hallucinatory
[38:31] because like while you think it's kind
[38:33] of disgusting to even acknowledge the
[38:35] existence of AI generated stuff. Uh
[38:37] there's like way more of you out there
[38:39] who are legitimately confused and misled
[38:42] by things like this. And I think it's
[38:43] important for us who um who cover this
[38:46] stuff to like set the record straight uh
[38:49] to try to dispel the misinformation.
[38:52] Um okay, so I have it up here. Let's
[38:55] Okay, this is accurate. This is from the
[38:57] Avengers Doomsday third teaser, the
[39:00] X-Men teaser released in December. Uh it
[39:02] is how the trailer begins. Uh you do see
[39:05] that shot. Um this shot is AI generated
[39:08] and it's not real. This is not accurate
[39:10] at all. This is not what you see. I I'm
[39:13] telling you, I did not see this. This
[39:15] shot of a red globe in the sky or a
[39:17] burning treeine. You don't see that.
[39:20] Also, can we talk about how the angle of
[39:22] this would have been someone weirdly
[39:24] hovering 12 ft over the seats on the
[39:27] floor of the Dolby Cinema. There's no
[39:29] opera box off the side where you would
[39:31] get this angle without someone with a
[39:33] green laser pointer shining the hell out
[39:35] of you and then leaping across eight
[39:36] people to tackle you and steal and break
[39:38] your phone. would not have happened. Um,
[39:41] you don't see Patrick Stewart in this
[39:42] angle at all. This is not accurate. You
[39:45] do see a shot of him doing like this as
[39:47] he looks out the window, but this
[39:50] [laughter]
[39:51] the shot of him wincing is not this is
[39:54] not real. This does not happen. Um,
[39:57] okay. This is this shot of Doom kind of
[40:00] doing a superhero landing in some
[40:02] outdoor location. Kind of accurate. It's
[40:04] just the angle's a bit different and you
[40:06] don't see him from this far away. He it
[40:09] doesn't look this skinny.
[40:11] Uh hold on. Yeah. And then uh you they
[40:15] don't have any of the audio that I
[40:16] talked about. Notice how when you watch
[40:18] this, you don't hear the something we
[40:20] may not be able to deter. You don't hear
[40:23] it here. So that's another indication.
[40:25] Um this person's doing their best to to
[40:28] de to illustrate the Avengers tower as I
[40:31] described it. No. If you watch
[40:34] [laughter] look at this three forked
[40:36] top. No, that's not what it looks like.
[40:37] And also, that's not where um the Metife
[40:41] building is in relation to the Empire
[40:42] State Building in New York City. It's
[40:44] also not a nighttime shot. Uh it looks a
[40:46] lot more like the building as we saw in
[40:48] the Daredevil Born Again uh uh
[40:51] establishing shot of episode 7. Uh this
[40:55] logo is correct, but it's way bigger.
[40:57] And there's like a imagine a giant like
[40:59] lobster claw, you know, like one that
[41:02] Punisher or or Bullseye would throw.
[41:04] Imagine that. But a skinny skinny
[41:06] lobster claw. Um, that's kind of like
[41:10] what it is. There's like a separate
[41:12] thing here. That's kind of an
[41:13] unnecessary building silhouette thing. I
[41:16] don't know why they designed it that
[41:17] way. Uh, this shot at least like clearly
[41:20] what this person did is they fed some AI
[41:22] generator the um the leaked uh costume
[41:27] designs of these characters because
[41:28] yeah, Reed Richards does have a white
[41:30] bomber jacket. Um, they all have new
[41:32] jackets except Ben Grim. They didn't let
[41:34] Ben Grim have a new jacket. Um, and that
[41:36] is kind of how Thor looks in it, but
[41:38] they aren't walking through like the
[41:40] Fortress of Solitude like this. They're
[41:42] walking through like the portal of a of
[41:44] the Fantastic 4 spaceship, and they're
[41:46] all kind of in a single file line like
[41:48] Tuscan Raiders. Um, this shot is uh
[41:51] wrong. It doesn't look like this. You
[41:54] don't see them clumped together like
[41:56] this. I I Sam doesn't have a suit like
[41:59] that. Um,
[42:02] but clearly this is much longer scene.
[42:04] It's like literally two shots that we
[42:06] see and it takes up maybe four or 5
[42:08] seconds if I remember correctly. Um,
[42:10] this like lives in it and gives like
[42:12] individual shots of all the characters.
[42:15] The sky is not that color of red. It's
[42:17] just kind of like a red orange kind of
[42:19] color that filters the light in a
[42:21] specific way. They took this shot from
[42:22] the Thunderbolts postredit scene and
[42:24] kind of told the AI animator to make
[42:26] something out of it. Um, this is clearly
[42:29] just taking my description of three
[42:31] circles. But that's how I know that they
[42:33] took my video because like in the first
[42:35] video I did, I said that there were
[42:37] three circles, but our editors were
[42:39] working so hard to try to illustrate it
[42:41] based off of my description. And I for a
[42:43] later follow-up video we did, I kind of
[42:45] had to draw my own diagram of showing
[42:47] how it's like like almost a triangular
[42:49] pattern of the circles that are
[42:50] connected by lines in the circle uh or
[42:53] in the middle. So, this is just like
[42:55] them doing their own fanfictiony version
[42:57] of it. This is not how it looks. It
[42:59] doesn't I don't remember seeing
[43:01] incursion of it. We don't see a close-up
[43:02] of the screen at all. And a lot of you
[43:04] guys are like, "Hey, the person who made
[43:06] this knew that they weren't they were
[43:07] doing an AI version. They were trying to
[43:09] do an imaginary fan edit of it." But I
[43:11] have to just make it very clear that
[43:13] this this is not how the Doomsday
[43:14] trailer looks. It doesn't like live in
[43:17] these moments that much. I also got to
[43:19] notice AI forgets how to spell things
[43:21] like multiversal because it's not a real
[43:23] word. So it doesn't have a dictionary to
[43:25] spell something like uh multiversal.
[43:28] Um yeah, if anything, it's kind of like
[43:30] this, but it's not like that screen is
[43:32] against the window and you don't have
[43:34] Falcon there in that angle. You never
[43:36] see Captain America's shield in the
[43:37] trailer, so wrong. You don't see shots
[43:40] like this. You don't see Thor looking
[43:42] out the window like that. You don't see
[43:44] Neymar jumping out of the water. You
[43:46] don't see I I described it like the Red
[43:48] Sea parting, but you don't actually see
[43:50] the Red Sea parting like it's the
[43:51] freaking prince of Egypt. You just see a
[43:53] wall of water in a circle around like a
[43:56] desert floor. Uh but they worked way
[43:59] harder. These this acres of forest
[44:02] burning AI engine did to try to to
[44:06] illustrate this. No, that's not what it
[44:08] looks like. This shot they just pulled
[44:09] from the fourth teaser. You do kind of
[44:11] see Shi in that angle, but she's not
[44:13] walking between the partings of the Red
[44:15] Sea. She's walking toward just a wall of
[44:17] water in the distance. And the pyramid
[44:18] of Talakhan is some in a different shot.
[44:21] Um I mean there is something impressive
[44:24] about I guess some some fan using AI to
[44:27] do all this in that like they're trying
[44:31] to reimagine what's out there based off
[44:33] of descriptions. I don't think it's that
[44:35] impressive to just feed into an AI
[44:36] generator and poop it out and confuse
[44:38] people. I think it's kind of annoying
[44:40] that that's a thing now. But I can laugh
[44:42] at it just because I think we are seeing
[44:44] the AI bubble bursting. We are seeing
[44:46] the plateau. As like effective as some
[44:49] of these displays are, we could just see
[44:51] the slop. And just because the slop is
[44:54] getting more detailed doesn't change the
[44:56] reality that it's sloped to all of us.
[44:58] And it's just kind of laughable that
[45:00] Sora and Nano Banana and these other
[45:02] things haven't figured out a way to do
[45:03] it better despite their promises that
[45:05] we'd be light years beyond where we are
[45:07] right now. I think AI has plateaued. I
[45:09] think there are major risks of AI and
[45:12] and the specifically some of the jobs it
[45:14] could it could change forever. Um but I
[45:19] think it's the fears are mostly out of
[45:21] people like Sam Alman just over
[45:23] speculating their abilities to do
[45:26] things. And I think when it comes this
[45:28] is just going to be increasingly
[45:29] derivative. The only reason they were
[45:30] able to make this is based off of like
[45:32] the derivative nature of the MCU as it
[45:35] is already and how it repurposes certain
[45:37] locations and certain production designs
[45:39] from past things. Um, if you were to try
[45:42] to do this with like Digger, the Digger
[45:45] trailer based off of our descriptions,
[45:47] no freaking way you'd be able to do that
[45:48] cuz Initu has done something completely
[45:51] original and weird and new. It's not
[45:53] completely original. It's based off of a
[45:54] source material, but like the production
[45:56] design is like nothing I've seen before.
[45:58] And as long as we still have great
[46:00] production designers and filmmakers, I'm
[46:01] not too worried about that. And we've
[46:03] also had four teasers of this already
[46:05] out. So, they're clearly using a lot of
[46:07] that. Uh, we don't see them walking off
[46:10] of Chichinita like this. Um, you don't
[46:13] see the hand shaking. Um, Shi is not in
[46:16] a library like this. And he doesn't have
[46:19] a staff. He uses his 10 rings. You know,
[46:22] the 10 rings that Shani is known for
[46:24] having that are not on his wrist here.
[46:26] Um, they don't fight with bow staffs in
[46:28] this. They're not in a big like
[46:31] Beauty and the Beast Westwing library
[46:33] here. Why are Mystique and Elena
[46:36] fighting in a classroom that looks like
[46:39] it's from The Amazing Spider-Man?
[46:41] There's no classroom in the X-Mansion
[46:43] that looks like this with desks like
[46:44] that. Um, yeah, the forest that Doom and
[46:48] Thor are fighting in here kind of looks
[46:50] like they used the forest from the
[46:51] second teaser. That's not where they
[46:53] fight in the trailer. whether it's in
[46:54] some other outdoor location that I'm
[46:55] having trouble specifying. You don't
[46:57] have this many shots of all these
[46:58] characters fighting that like this.
[46:59] We're talking short quick shots. So, no,
[47:03] that's not accurate. That's not how it
[47:05] looks. She doesn't shapeshift in the
[47:06] same shot with Yolena in the background.
[47:09] In fact, it's just Mystique turning into
[47:11] Yolena after she catches Vaton. And then
[47:13] a different shot shows Yolena ducking
[47:14] under Reed Richard's outstretched arm.
[47:16] And then you see, oh, there's two
[47:18] Yolena's fighting. This shot they just
[47:20] took from the Thunderbolts postredit
[47:22] scene. I know that's the exact frame of
[47:23] Florence Pew from that final shot of the
[47:25] post-redit scene. Oh, here are his 10
[47:27] rings. About time. It's not how it
[47:30] looks. They don't fight in this. Like,
[47:32] this looks like my high school alma
[47:35] mater, Paxton's um uh classroom in
[47:39] Jacksonville, Florida on Commonwealth.
[47:41] And this is where I took a a health
[47:45] class from PE.
[47:49] No, that's not how it looks. You don't
[47:51] see this many cards. You see one card.
[47:53] You don't see Franklin in the trailer.
[47:55] That doesn't happen. Uh it doesn't look
[47:58] like Scott is kissing Cassy's forehead
[48:01] in front of the the quantum tunnel. Um
[48:04] you don't see [laughter] you don't see
[48:06] Cyclops Kim Kardashian behind a corner
[48:09] like that. Uh that doesn't happen. You
[48:12] don't see Reed in the cockpit of a ship
[48:14] like that. I don't know why they just
[48:15] didn't use the shot that was from the
[48:17] third teaser. Um, they are not sitting
[48:20] in like a diner booth like this. You
[48:23] could just use the shot in the third
[48:25] teaser to recreate that. Again, they're
[48:27] not fighting in that kind of forest like
[48:29] that. I think they're trying to make
[48:30] like a latian forest, but that's not
[48:32] where that fight happens. You don't have
[48:34] this many shots of Doom and Thor.
[48:37] [laughter] It's just funny to live in
[48:38] this because it's not You don't have
[48:40] Thor stroking his beard like this. Um,
[48:44] you see him walking up with both
[48:46] Stormbreaker and Muolnir and then
[48:48] Mujolnir leaves his hand and goes into
[48:50] the hand of Steve Rogers. But look how
[48:51] much this trailer lives in it. That Reed
[48:53] would be in the cockpit. You don't even
[48:55] know if they're on a spaceship when
[48:56] you're watching the shot. Um, but there
[48:58] is Johnny Storm in the background. It
[49:00] doesn't slowly freaking
[49:03] 2001 of Space Odyssey pen uh towards his
[49:06] hand. It zips to his hand like it does
[49:08] in Endgame. And it's not I don't
[49:10] remember it being fractured like it is
[49:12] in uh Love and Thunder. Now, this is
[49:14] kind of how Steve Rogers looks, but it's
[49:16] a different angle to Steve. And uh they
[49:19] just got this from the leaked concept
[49:21] art from January for the character's
[49:23] costume. So, that's how they know. Okay.
[49:25] So, that's that's kind of in a nutshell.
[49:28] Um what's wrong with this? I have some
[49:30] of my other assets here. Hold on. I want
[49:32] to show you guys. Okay. So, let's answer
[49:34] some questions. It's been a while since
[49:35] I've
[49:39] um
[49:40] Yeah, it's just kind of ridiculous.
[49:44] What's your guess? Uh sorry.
[50:00] Uh question here. Which Btier Avengers
[50:02] actor is your favorite performer outside
[50:03] of the MCU? I like Katherine Newton and
[50:05] Florence Pew. I wouldn't consider
[50:07] Florence Pew to be beer Btier. Um, I
[50:10] guess are you saying the actors are
[50:12] Btier because Florence Pew is is A-list.
[50:15] Katherine Newton might be belist. Um,
[50:17] but I would say um I like Zack Cherry.
[50:22] He's great. Uh, Jacob Batalon, love him.
[50:27] Uh, Winston Duke, I guess he might be
[50:29] A-list at this point.
[50:31] Um, like half of the actors in Hollywood
[50:33] are in the MCU. So, but I uh yeah, I
[50:36] think Florence Pew is awesome. I just
[50:38] think she's A-list.
[50:41] A question here. I think just kind of a
[50:43] another Marvel question. If Earth 616
[50:45] Wanda died after dream walking, what
[50:48] happens to the variant Wanda chose uh
[50:50] whose body carried out the killings?
[50:51] Could she face consequences or
[50:53] accountability for the Illuminati's
[50:54] deaths in future MCU stories? This was a
[50:56] pitch that I had after Multiverse of
[50:58] Madness came out that uh that Wanda like
[51:03] the Wanda of that universe is still
[51:04] alive and if if there is a Professor X
[51:07] in that universe that there would be uh
[51:10] a James Howlet that there would be a
[51:11] Scott Summers there would be a Gene Gray
[51:13] there would be an Aurora Monroe who
[51:15] would hold her accountable. Um I mean
[51:18] Reed Richards had a wife and kids so
[51:21] that would imply a Susan, a Franklin and
[51:23] a Valyriia. all those people had loved
[51:25] ones who like would hold her accountable
[51:27] and that that could set up a really
[51:28] interesting sequel, like a really fun
[51:30] Scarlet Witch story. Um, I think it's
[51:33] still there. I I don't know why Marvel
[51:36] hasn't It seems like Elizabeth Olsen
[51:38] would be interested.
[51:40] Very good question.
[51:45] Shri saying skinny lobster claw is what
[51:47] they called me back in college. Why
[51:54] Uber coup? No, it doesn't look real. I'm
[51:57] sorry. That doomsday. If you think that
[51:59] looks real, we have failed. We have
[52:02] failed. I'm worried about the state of
[52:04] the world. If you guys couldn't see this
[52:05] as slot because looking real as a
[52:08] specific frame is not enough. Judging a
[52:10] three and a half minute video in its
[52:12] full context is where these battles have
[52:14] to be fought. And has any movie trailer
[52:17] lived that long in moments like that? I
[52:20] like I I think what it is is like these
[52:22] are fan-made things that due to the
[52:26] acceleration of AI are able to make
[52:28] things that have the correct texture and
[52:31] look to it, but like is the the editing
[52:35] of it the way any trailer is ever
[52:38] edited? Um, that's what makes it silly.
[52:44] Yep. Slap, slap, slap.
[52:47] Oh, Wong, I think you were talking about
[52:48] that forest as it looking kind of like
[52:50] the Skovian forest.
[52:52] Maybe that's where Thor is when he's
[52:54] praying to Odin. I think that's what
[52:56] they use that u they use that setting.
[53:00] Sincerely, BBX saying 10 cards, 10
[53:02] rings, I guess.
[53:04] Um, yeah, a lot of people thinking it's
[53:07] impossible that Satie Sync is playing
[53:09] Gan Gray. I'm like 90% certain she's
[53:12] playing Gan Gray, but sure, maybe maybe
[53:14] it's Firest Star. It's just her in that
[53:16] trailer, her power set didn't look
[53:18] anything like Firestar.
[53:20] Um, did the CGI look finished in the
[53:22] trailer? Um, in the two times I saw it,
[53:25] it looked good. It I mean, yeah, I think
[53:28] from what I could tell, the CGI all
[53:30] looked really, really good. It's a lot
[53:31] of assets of like Stormbreaker emitting
[53:34] lightning that we've kind of seen
[53:36] before. Um, but like the way it
[53:38] interacts with Dr. Doom I thought looked
[53:40] really cool. Um, more of like the the
[53:45] creativity of the fighting between
[53:46] Yolena and Mystique I thought was really
[53:48] fun. Like I think that's going to be a
[53:50] really fun fight sequence. Um, Shani and
[53:52] Gambit fighting was just really inspired
[53:54] in a way that like I never would have
[53:56] thought would be that interesting to
[53:58] see.
[54:00] Um, but I don't know, maybe they are. I
[54:02] I often the first two times I see a
[54:04] trailer, I'm so overwhelmed by just all
[54:06] of it. I'm not really doing what I
[54:08] normally do on YouTube and and going
[54:10] frame by frame to like look at how well
[54:12] the animation or the VFX was rendered.
[54:14] So, I don't think if anybody said the
[54:16] VFX didn't look good uh from the
[54:19] Doomsday trailer that they showed in Las
[54:20] Vegas, they're full of it. There's no
[54:22] way you could get a sense of whether the
[54:23] VFX unless it looked really bad, unless
[54:25] like character design was bad. But
[54:27] Mystique looked awesome. And it's just
[54:29] because they were using the kind of VFX
[54:31] um design for the way Mystique's she
[54:34] kind of has this textured scales and the
[54:36] way she shapeshifts that has been
[54:38] unrivaled by any of the shape-shifting
[54:39] of like the scrolls or anything like
[54:41] that. Uh Ryan Cougler in your anomorph
[54:43] show take note from that. Use the
[54:45] animals texture whether it's fur,
[54:47] feathers, fish scales, whatever it is to
[54:50] um inspire the texture of the
[54:52] shape-shifting. Make it gross and not
[54:54] pretty the way that Ka Applegate wrote
[54:57] it to be in the Anamorph's books.
[55:00] Shapeshifting should be kind of
[55:01] disgusting and gross.
[55:04] Um, hello from the Holy Land. I just
[55:07] really hope my country doesn't go
[55:08] extreme again and close down movie
[55:10] theaters. Okay. Uh, stay safe.
[55:16] Um, okay. Yeah. Uh, I guess someone
[55:18] saying the VFX didn't look great. I want
[55:20] to know who said that and how they could
[55:22] gauge that from like a screaming room
[55:24] full of film exhibitors even seeing it
[55:26] twice. I I I don't know. I I I remember
[55:30] it being good. I remember it being like
[55:32] this is exactly what I would want to
[55:33] see. I It's like an Avengers Endgame
[55:36] trailer if they showed you some of the
[55:38] some of the time heist scenes from
[55:40] Endgame. If they showed you the Steve
[55:42] versus Steve fight from Endgame. Um you
[55:45] know, I I I thought it looked pretty
[55:48] good.
[55:52] Um,
[55:56] so, uh, oh, let's see.
[56:00] Yeah, okay. I like those guys from
[56:02] Escape Pod. I met one of them. I I don't
[56:05] know how he could have that opinion. Um,
[56:08] I'd love to go on his show and debate
[56:09] him on how he could have that opinion
[56:11] based off of one scene. I don't think it
[56:13] looked bad. The one thing that looked a
[56:15] little goofy was Gambit. Gambit looked
[56:18] goofy, but he looked exactly as he did
[56:20] in Deadpool and Wolverine. It was more
[56:21] of a costume thing, but like Goofy, he
[56:23] looked like a liveaction version of the
[56:25] Gambit from the X-Men animated series.
[56:27] So, in that sense, that's exactly what
[56:29] we want Gambit to look like. So, but it
[56:31] was just his costume because it was in
[56:32] the void and he was kind of conceived to
[56:34] be like a walking cartoon who was born
[56:37] in the void. It's a little weird to see
[56:38] him in the X mansion. Um, but I honestly
[56:41] think like they're they're aiming for
[56:43] for liveaction versions of the animated
[56:46] series. So, Cyclops's suit looks like
[56:49] what we want Cyclops to look like. Um,
[56:51] Beast in the Marvel's postredit scene is
[56:53] not in the trailer, but like imagine
[56:55] that. Extrapolate that to how all the
[56:58] other X-Men will look. So, I don't
[57:00] really have a that big of a problem with
[57:02] how Gambit looked. Um, but I will say
[57:04] there is like kind of a not uncanny
[57:08] valley. It's just kind of like, oh, this
[57:10] isn't
[57:11] like as gritty and textured as as some
[57:15] of the other phase 2 MCU characters
[57:18] looked, but it's how I want. It's what I
[57:20] want, and I think it's what we're all
[57:21] going to want.
[57:24] Um, and if people say it looks like
[57:26] cosplay, it's like, well, I just think
[57:28] that's a compliment to cosplayers. Now,
[57:30] have you been to some of these
[57:31] conventions? Cosplayers look awesome.
[57:34] Um, I I I just think like if it looks
[57:37] like it could be DIY enough, I just
[57:39] think that's going to be the case. Like
[57:40] if you go to Disneyland right now and
[57:42] see Spider-Man, you're not going to be
[57:44] that blown away. Um, because like we've
[57:47] seen a lot of great cosplayers as
[57:48] Spider-Man. I I guess I'm I don't have
[57:51] as cultured of an opinion on that kind
[57:54] of thing. The first time I'm seeing a
[57:56] trailer, I'm just not interested in
[57:57] that. Um, yeah. I I I also just know
[58:01] that movies are kind of made up and I
[58:03] was a theater kid and I'm and I got used
[58:04] to like enjoying plays where you can see
[58:06] the paint still drying on the flats. So
[58:09] I I I'm usually not as critical on the
[58:11] VFX when I'm seeing a trailer.
[58:14] Um Arcani saying, "Are you when are you
[58:18] covering the House of the Dragon
[58:18] trailer?" We're not going to break down
[58:20] that new trailer. We're going to do a
[58:22] big video that catches you up on
[58:23] everything you need to know in June
[58:25] before the new season comes out, but I'm
[58:27] not going to break down every trailer
[58:28] for House of the Dragon. It's just too
[58:30] hard. We broke down the first one. It's
[58:32] too hard to talk about this upcoming
[58:33] season when we know everything that's
[58:35] going to happen. Um because a trailer
[58:37] breakdown is speculative by nature and I
[58:40] don't want to just it's it would be like
[58:42] three minutes of like just saying, "Ooh,
[58:44] cool. Dragon looks big. Fire. Whoa." And
[58:47] then spoiler dungeon. Let's talk about
[58:49] what each episode's going to be. It's
[58:51] It's more fun to wait till those
[58:52] episodes come out if it's a book
[58:54] adaptation. Um, it's why we didn't do a
[58:56] lot of trailer breakdowns for Project
[58:57] Hail Mary. I wanted to read the book and
[58:59] then after the movie comes out, then we
[59:01] can kind of like get into the
[59:02] nitty-gritty of it. But what are you
[59:04] going to do with theories about when
[59:05] Rocky's going to appear 17 minutes in or
[59:07] 45 minutes in, you know?
[59:10] Um, psycho sweetheart YT said, "The
[59:12] Russos don't seem like the type to drop
[59:14] an anticipated trailer on a random day.
[59:16] So maybe the Avengers release
[59:17] anniversary on May 2nd." Well, oh, contr
[59:21] they have dropped stuff on random days
[59:24] before. The Avengers Endgame teaser in
[59:28] December of 2018 was just like a random
[59:30] weekday for I think it was like a random
[59:32] Thursday. Um, the Avengers Infinity War
[59:35] first teaser came out the Wednesday
[59:38] after thing. I think it was like
[59:39] November 30th, 2017, and it was like a
[59:42] Wednesday after um
[59:46] after Thanksgiving. It they do drop
[59:48] their trailers on random weekdays. Uh,
[59:50] their Captain America: Civil War trailer
[59:52] came out on the Wednesday before
[59:54] Thanksgiving in 2015. Um, yeah. And and
[59:58] they don't always decide. It's the
[60:00] studio. It's someone at Disney who
[60:02] decides when to drop these things. So,
[60:04] uh, they might consult on it, but
[60:06] there's a lot of other marketing people
[60:07] who who come together to make that
[60:09] decision.
[60:11] Is Wasp ever coming back? Uh, not after
[60:13] Evangelene Lily's video this week. I
[60:16] don't think she wants to. I think she
[60:17] kind of said she's retired from playing
[60:19] Hope Vany in the MCU.
[60:22] U, what's a fight matchup you'd like to
[60:24] see that we may or may not expect? Talk
[60:26] about in Doomsday. Um
[60:31] h
[60:35] I want to see I want to see Red Guardian
[60:38] and Beast fight. I don't know why. I
[60:40] just want to see those two tumble.
[60:45] Oh, hi. I had an early message, but it
[60:47] won't let me super it. Well, I'll keep
[60:48] an eye out for your name, and you don't
[60:50] have to super the next one. I'll just
[60:51] read it.
[60:55] Um,
[60:58] Alex asking, "Odds the trailers before
[61:00] Grou?" Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. I'm
[61:02] hoping they put that in theaters before
[61:03] The Mandalorian Grou, but they should
[61:05] just drop it on YouTube.
[61:09] Um,
[61:12] uh, I saw that rumor, too, but I just
[61:14] think they're they're different
[61:15] audiences. Uh, I don't think that they
[61:17] would try to market that movie before
[61:19] The Devil's Prada.
[61:37] Scott Brown saying, "The reason they
[61:38] they know they can wait on the trailers
[61:40] because they know Spider-Man is going to
[61:41] be huge and the very last thing you'll
[61:42] see in the theater, Spider-Man will
[61:44] return in Avengers Doomsday."
[61:46] I don't think that's part of the
[61:48] calculus for Disney because Spider-Man
[61:49] branded day is a Sony release. So all
[61:51] the marketing for it is governed by
[61:54] Sony. Disney and Sony are just on
[61:55] completely different decision-making
[61:58] processes. So I just I I don't think
[62:01] that's why uh and I also don't think
[62:03] Spider-Man's going to be in Avengers
[62:04] Doomsday. I I think he might be in
[62:06] Avengers Secret Wars, but I just like I
[62:09] I don't know how it's going to fit in. I
[62:11] don't know how Peter Parker will fit in
[62:13] with Doomsday based off of what I've
[62:14] seen from Doomsday.
[62:18] I think the one takeaway from the
[62:21] marketing is um like the Russos really
[62:25] feel like the movie they have already
[62:27] the mo they wanted to show us in 2
[62:29] minutes a movie that was so big that it
[62:32] doesn't need any other character of the
[62:33] MCU to be in it. Sure, Doctor Strange
[62:36] could be in there or Spider-Man can show
[62:37] up late in it, but I'm telling you, this
[62:39] movie looks big enough just with the
[62:40] people who are on the tote bag that that
[62:42] is like a billion and a half to a two
[62:44] billion dollar movie on its own. Uh you
[62:48] I feel like we're not going to miss the
[62:50] Guardians of the Galaxy in it. Avengers:
[62:52] Infinity War made as much money as it
[62:54] did and it didn't have Ant-Man or or
[62:56] Hawkeye in it. Um so I think they feel
[62:59] like they can sideline some characters.
[63:01] There's there's a cool enough plot at
[63:02] play with the Fantastic 4 and the X-Men
[63:04] and the Wakandons.
[63:17] I want to read Red Guardian versus Steve
[63:18] Rogers Captain America. Yeah, I think
[63:20] that will be a fun uh fun interesting
[63:24] conversation when it happens.
[63:27] Oh, Steve Rogers, I am you, but from
[63:30] Russia.
[63:31] Yes, you taught me everything through
[63:33] your videos. And Steve Rogers is going
[63:35] to be like, I don't think about you at
[63:36] all. He goes, but we are friends. We are
[63:39] connected. Look, I have shield. You have
[63:41] shield. Can we be brothers? And Steve
[63:44] Rogers is like, um, I have to I have to
[63:49] catch up with Bucky. Excuse me.
[63:58] Heather, you might be on to something. I
[63:59] think Marvel realized they can get free
[64:00] marketing by having us all talk about
[64:02] the lack of marketing.
[64:04] Maybe that maybe that's part of their
[64:06] their 40 chess.
[64:10] Um,
[64:13] question here. Why do you think there's
[64:14] so little Loki? I think because like the
[64:17] visuals of Loki might be so spoilery and
[64:20] might require so much VFX that putting
[64:23] that in the trailer, the VFX might look
[64:25] a little unfinished there and it might
[64:27] spoil too much about what Dr. Doom is
[64:29] doing. I think they really wanted to be
[64:31] limited what of Dr. Doom they put in the
[64:33] trailer. And I think if they show what
[64:35] Dr. Doom is doing with Loki, that would
[64:37] spoil too much of the plot. I think
[64:38] that's why we didn't see Loki in the
[64:40] trailer. And you got to save something
[64:42] for the second trailer. I think the
[64:43] second trailer is going to have the
[64:44] Nightcrawler Beast uh Fantastic 4 fight,
[64:48] but second trailer I'm talking about
[64:49] something that will be in like in it'll
[64:51] be in October. Um I don't think Tobey
[64:55] Magcguire is going to be in the movie.
[65:02] Yeah. No. Uh okay. I just disagree with
[65:04] anyone who said that Steve Rogers wig
[65:06] looked real bad. It didn't. Uh it looks
[65:08] fine. It looked like his I don't even
[65:10] think it was his wig. I I think that's
[65:12] Chris Evans natural hair and Thor's
[65:14] lightning looked bad. No, it looks as it
[65:17] always does. It looks cool. The lighting
[65:19] of it reflecting off of Doom's mask
[65:20] looked cool. You guys are nuts. They are
[65:23] crazy.
[65:24] Um low. I don't think Captain Hydra It's
[65:27] just too many steps removed. I'm telling
[65:29] you, they have they have other bigger
[65:32] fish to fry in this movie. It's not like
[65:35] It's interesting. I believe it was
[65:38] either Lewis Pullman or David Harbor who
[65:41] said that the movie's not a cameo fest.
[65:43] And despite the fact that it has all
[65:46] these X-Men and Fantastic 4 in it, all
[65:48] these people seem to be playing an
[65:49] important part in the plot. Uh it
[65:52] doesn't feel like a kind of movie where
[65:54] like random people are going to show up
[65:55] throughout the movie. The Russo brothers
[65:58] don't like to do that, right? Like what
[66:00] was the biggest cameo they had in
[66:02] Endgame? Howard the Duck shows up,
[66:04] right? uh Captain Marvel shows up, but
[66:07] we knew she was going to be in the
[66:08] movie. So, it's not like the other big
[66:10] cameo was like, "Oh, we got to see a
[66:12] second Steve Rogers." But that's not so
[66:13] much a cameo. It's just like the way it
[66:16] plays out. They don't put like they
[66:17] didn't put a Nova cameo in Endgame,
[66:20] right? They put a Blue Man Group cameo
[66:22] in Infinity War. So, they don't they
[66:25] like to tell, you know, huge cast, huge
[66:29] ensemble stories are not cameo fests.
[66:32] So, I'm not expecting like random Marvel
[66:34] character cameos like you would see in
[66:35] episodes of What If, for example.
[66:42] Uh, a question I think like how does
[66:44] Thor know about Doom? I think the movie
[66:47] will just answer that question when Doom
[66:50] kidnaps Thor's daughter Love or there's
[66:53] just like a bigger threat that Doom is
[66:55] posing and and Thor fights him early on
[66:57] in the movie and then gets defeated and
[66:59] that scares him. but he hasn't been like
[67:02] I I think Dr. Doom is gonna be kind of a
[67:04] stranger to everybody in the movie when
[67:07] this all starts.
[67:11] Um I'm under an NDA and as is Berg um on
[67:15] whether Berg will appear in Doomsday. Um
[67:18] I can't confirm or deny.
[67:22] Yeah. Okay. So Brave King gave a good
[67:24] example, a Red Skull cameo in Infinity
[67:26] War. Great. Okay. Now, the thing about
[67:28] that cameo was it was a character from
[67:30] Captain America's own history. It was
[67:32] like a returning character who we had
[67:33] seen in the MCU before that was
[67:36] connected to an Infinity Stone based off
[67:37] of what he had to do with the Tesseract
[67:39] Act. It wasn't some character that we've
[67:40] never seen before who is now introduced
[67:44] in this movie. The Rooster brothers
[67:45] don't like to do that as much.
[67:48] No, R.J. is not real. It's not real.
[67:55] Okay. So, Dr. Dream's relationship with
[67:57] Sentry. An interesting question. Um, we
[68:01] don't see there's one shot of the big
[68:03] group in the Avengers Tower penthouse
[68:05] where you see Sentry on the side wearing
[68:07] his like, you know, his slacker socks
[68:10] and sandals. Um, but you don't see him
[68:12] coming in close-up. You don't see him in
[68:13] his Sentry suit. Um, but he's going to
[68:17] be important to this movie. I think he's
[68:20] his power of the void Doom will use in
[68:23] some way. Um, I think it will be helpful
[68:27] for Doom to construct Battle World.
[68:30] Maybe he uses Sentry as kind of a
[68:31] conduit when he's absorbing the power
[68:33] from Loki.
[68:35] Sentry is going to be important to Doom.
[68:37] I I there it's just too open-ended right
[68:39] now for me to make any firm theories.
[68:45] Um, yeah. I I mean, I think we can tell
[68:47] from some theories and concept art that
[68:49] like Dr. Doom, if you follow the
[68:51] Jonathan Hickman storyline, will become
[68:54] Doctor Doom's uh Doctor Strange will
[68:56] become Doctor Doom's sheriff of Battle
[68:58] World. So, I think we're going to see uh
[69:00] Doctor Strange team up with him.
[69:04] Okay, so the real trailer is about 2
[69:06] minutes long. It's maybe a little over
[69:08] two minutes, maybe a little under, but
[69:10] it's like in that two-minute range. It's
[69:12] not three and a half.
[69:17] Yeah. Oh, like the trailer was real.
[69:20] Okay. I I don't think he's wearing a
[69:22] wig.
[69:25] Yes, I do think the trailer we saw they
[69:27] should just release it online.
[69:30] Um [sighs]
[69:31] question. Couldn't Steve use the vials
[69:33] as an insurance policy? Trying to figure
[69:35] out what you mean by that. Like
[69:38] as a backup, you're saying in case he
[69:40] needs to travel back into the future.
[69:42] Maybe that is how he got back to uh to
[69:44] Thor in the present. Does he just needed
[69:46] a backup in case he ever needed to get
[69:48] to the present? I just think he that's
[69:50] he wouldn't do that unless like his
[69:52] family was threatened in the past.
[69:56] What is the reason you think Shani is
[69:58] fighting Gambit? So, good question. Why
[70:01] are these characters fighting each other
[70:02] when clearly Doom is the shared threat?
[70:05] Um, I my theory is that uh we're going
[70:09] to see some characters in the expansion
[70:10] early and then a different group will go
[70:13] back to the expansion and the one005
[70:15] universe and that they're going to have
[70:16] to get down to Cerebro and that the
[70:19] surviving X-Men there are going to feel
[70:21] defensive of like we don't know who you
[70:22] are. We don't want you to get into our
[70:24] Cerebro and they're going to be like
[70:25] trust us you need us to do that and
[70:27] Nightcrawler and Beast and Gambit are
[70:29] going to be like uh over our dead
[70:30] bodies. and they're just gonna fight,
[70:32] but it's gonna be kind of a scuffle
[70:33] because they feel like these are
[70:35] invaders from another universe who are
[70:37] trying to kill them. So, I don't think
[70:39] it'll be like a fight to the death. I
[70:41] just think it's going to be kind of like
[70:42] what the forest fight in the 2012
[70:44] Avengers is, is like these kind of big
[70:45] egos are are are knocking heads and
[70:47] they're like, "No, we need to get to
[70:48] Cerebro. Just trust us, bro." And then
[70:51] Beast is going to be like, "No."
[70:53] Uh, do you think Doom's mother, Cynthia,
[70:56] will be in the flashback? Yeah, Cynthia
[70:58] Doom is Doom's mother. Uh, has an
[71:01] interesting relationship with Meto.
[71:03] Actually, Doom ends up playing an
[71:05] interesting kind of like mental chess
[71:07] game with Meisto over Cynthia where he
[71:13] does this kind of triple quadruple fake
[71:16] of like lets Cynthia see her son in hell
[71:20] with her and she feels bad that her son
[71:25] committed enough sins to end up in hell.
[71:27] And because she feels that guilt, that's
[71:29] what kind of releases her from hell
[71:31] because she's a good soul to feel that
[71:33] way. And so Doom did it all on purpose.
[71:36] It's kind of a there's an interesting
[71:37] story. I really hope that we do get a
[71:40] reference to his mother or maybe Doom
[71:41] has a daughter that he named Cynthia
[71:43] after a mother um that we don't even
[71:45] need to get fully into in this movie,
[71:47] but I do think the movie's opening scene
[71:48] will be in the Doomstat armor room. Um,
[71:51] and maybe we can get a reference to a
[71:53] late mother, um, or a daughter of some
[71:56] kind, but we don't need to dwell on it.
[72:06] Um, I don't know if Victor von Doom will
[72:09] be friends with Reed Richards in this
[72:10] movie, but I that's why I hope that like
[72:12] after Secret Wars, we can recast Dr.
[72:16] Doom and as someone who can kind of just
[72:17] live in the universe with the Fantastic
[72:19] 4 as a different Reed Richards, but I
[72:22] just or a different Victor von Doom. I
[72:24] just we're years away from that and we
[72:26] still have to wait for Doomsday and then
[72:27] Secret Wars to come out.
[72:31] So Chris thinking that Steve settled in
[72:34] Earth 828.
[72:36] I really like that theory. I'm kind of
[72:38] putting together a a theory video about
[72:41] that. Maybe that's where Steve ended up.
[72:43] I I think that would solve a lot of
[72:45] problems if Steve was just in that
[72:47] universe in in the history of that
[72:49] because then we could say like, oh, he
[72:51] he was in um it was like the early 50s
[72:54] when he had a kid and then another
[72:57] decade went by, maybe a decade and a
[72:59] half and now he's in 1969 of that
[73:01] universe. That's why his hair is a bit
[73:03] longer. and then whatever happened in
[73:05] the 828 universe, it got affected by an
[73:08] incursion and he leaves with the
[73:10] Fantastic 4 to join up with the other
[73:12] Avengers that way. Um, I like the idea.
[73:15] I really, really do like that theory.
[73:16] So, that's why I'm kind of stewing on
[73:19] that.
[73:21] Thanks for your donation, Arani.
[73:26] Um, where do you think Dr. Doom was
[73:28] during the Fantastic 4 first steps?
[73:30] Yeah, Drew, great question. I uh I
[73:33] really I really really don't know the
[73:35] the empty Latverian delegation chair of
[73:37] the future foundation. I really thought
[73:39] Matt Shackman would answer in some
[73:41] interviews that came out after the
[73:42] movie. Um I think at this point after
[73:46] seeing the doomsday trailer the simpler
[73:48] they we would have gotten another
[73:49] explanation at this point if Dr. Doom
[73:51] came from another reality. So I think
[73:53] the fact that Matt Shackman never
[73:55] answered that question firmly and Kevin
[73:57] Feige never answered that question
[73:58] firmly. I think they're going to say
[73:59] okay well Dr. doom came from the 828
[74:02] reality. Um, and
[74:06] uh, and I think he uh, when when we see
[74:10] things at the UN and there's empty seats
[74:12] historically in our universe, it means
[74:14] that that country is at kind of odds
[74:17] with whatever the overall objective of
[74:18] the peacekeeping international
[74:20] organization is. So it would show that
[74:23] Vira are being stinkers and they don't
[74:25] want to enter in these global peace
[74:26] talks and they want to have their own
[74:28] private army uh and have their own
[74:30] technology that they don't have to share
[74:32] with Reed Richards. They don't want Reed
[74:34] Tech running their public transportation
[74:36] in the streets of Latvia that Victor von
[74:38] Doom or whoever is the leader of that
[74:40] point. Um or maybe there's just some
[74:43] civil strife that's happening in
[74:45] happening in Latvia. Maybe whoever the
[74:46] the delegate who did say he was going to
[74:49] be there enough for them to set up the
[74:50] seat with the flag that person got
[74:52] deposed in some kind of civil war or or
[74:55] a coup d'eta and then now Victor von
[74:58] Doom overtook the doomstat
[75:01] um and that's why they weren't there uh
[75:03] is that there was just some like there
[75:05] was some local
[75:07] disturbance of the peace in Latvia.
[75:14] Um, no. I don't think any of the
[75:15] Guardians of the Galaxy are going to be
[75:17] in Doomsday. I I I just I don't think
[75:21] the Russo brothers are that interested
[75:23] in using these characters as James Gun
[75:25] left them in in that movie. We did get a
[75:28] promise that the legendary Star-Lord
[75:30] will return. I think they'll return
[75:32] maybe in Secret Wars, but just looking
[75:34] at this movie, Doomsday, I just don't
[75:36] see like Infinity War, there was room
[75:38] for the Guardians of the Galaxy, right?
[75:39] because Thanos was in Guardians of the
[75:41] Galaxy, so it would make sense that they
[75:43] would be there, too. Um, they were in
[75:45] the first teaser when they were talking
[75:46] to Thor. Looking at this trailer, I
[75:48] don't know how you have room for the
[75:49] Guardians of the Galaxy in the movie.
[75:55] Thank you, Tony. How thick is Robert
[75:58] Downey Jr.'s accent? Not as thick of a
[76:01] Romanian accent that I did in our
[76:03] trailer video. What I did was kind of
[76:05] like
[76:08] something's coming, something we may not
[76:11] be able to deter.
[76:14] Uh, before this day is finished, we will
[76:17] be faced with an unthinkable decision.
[76:20] That's not what Robert Downey Jr. sounds
[76:22] like. He's like maybe 45% of that. Um,
[76:26] funny you should ask because let's take
[76:29] a look at something here.
[76:33] H
[76:34] a lot of people were trains coming
[76:37] through.
[76:44] A lot of people were asking about this
[76:47] clip when Robert Downey Jr. was doing uh
[76:50] Emily Blunt's Hollywood Walk of Fame
[76:52] star. [laughter]
[76:54] >> For you see,
[76:58] I've always been the caretaker.
[77:02] Uh, let's put some shine on our girl.
[77:04] >> Uh, he goes, "I've always been the
[77:07] caretaker." I think what Downey was
[77:09] doing there was just referencing the
[77:11] shining, you know, Mr. Torrance, you've
[77:13] always been the caretaker of Grady in
[77:16] the bathroom, and he was just doing kind
[77:17] of a creepy voice. I don't think he was
[77:19] doing That did not sound like what I
[77:21] heard in the Doomsday trailer. I'll just
[77:23] say that to kind of put that to bed.
[77:26] [snorts]
[77:34] Alex saying, "Don't recast Doom right
[77:36] after he's the biggest bad you've ever
[77:37] had in two Avengers movies. That's just
[77:38] not how it works." Well, I'm not saying
[77:39] it's going to be right after. Um I I
[77:43] just think that at some point in the
[77:44] future, maybe three or four years later,
[77:46] you could have a different Victor von
[77:48] Doom in some new universe that's after
[77:50] the events of Secret Wars because we're
[77:52] going to see a new Tachala. I think if
[77:54] we have a new Tala and a new Tony Stark,
[77:58] uh maybe even a new Yolena Bova, a new
[78:00] Wolverine, having a new Victor von Doom,
[78:04] uh is not going to be as controversial
[78:07] as a new Tony Stark or a new Tala. You
[78:09] know, I think you can recast a lot of
[78:11] characters during the mutant saga of the
[78:12] 2030s.
[78:16] I just did. And I don't think I did a
[78:18] very good job because I'm not like that
[78:20] good of a of a accent guy or an
[78:23] impersonator. I've just listened to
[78:24] videos of people speaking with a
[78:25] Romanian accent. I'm like, that's kind
[78:27] of what it sounded like. Fancastic
[78:30] Fantastic 4 first steps Doom. I don't
[78:33] know what you're asking there. I think
[78:35] that was just Tony Stark or that was
[78:38] Robert Downey Jr. playing that Doom.
[78:42] MF Doom will return in Avengers
[78:44] Doomsday. No, but he will be in Beyond
[78:45] the Spider-Verse.
[78:47] That was a fun Easter egg to see. GSU
[78:50] Eagle saying, "If Loki now oversees all
[78:52] of the timelines, how is this version of
[78:54] Doom allowed? Or was he a result of the
[78:56] Kangs being set loose on the
[78:57] multiverse?" This is kind of a big
[78:59] question going into Doomsday is how much
[79:01] they're going to address what was the
[79:02] multiverse logic from the Loki series. I
[79:05] I do think if it's going to be Tom
[79:07] Hiddston's Loki, where the Loki series
[79:09] left him, there will be some line that
[79:11] kind of references that like there were
[79:14] other past conquerors of the multiverse
[79:17] and that the rise of Doom meant that
[79:20] they all destroyed each other or he
[79:22] destroyed them. Um, so I don't think he
[79:26] was allowed. I think he seized power and
[79:29] he will seize power in this movie using
[79:32] uh by by by killing Loki by taking
[79:34] Loki's power by using his magic and and
[79:37] his sorcery and his science.
[79:44] How many deaths do you think will happen
[79:45] in Doomsday? I think of the 26 actors
[79:48] who were on the tote bag, I think 10 of
[79:51] them, at least 10 of them will die.
[79:57] How many kids is Doom taking? At least
[80:00] four, right? Steve Rogers kid, Thor's
[80:04] daughter, Tala Jr., maybe Scott Summer's
[80:08] kid.
[80:10] Um, yeah, it's going to be the little
[80:12] kids. [snorts]
[80:18] Why would you say Romanian and not
[80:19] another country that's still close to
[80:20] Romania? Because Latvia is a fictional
[80:21] country. I I don't know. Uh, do you mean
[80:26] countries like Hungarian or Albanian?
[80:29] Cuz it sounds more like Romanian to
[80:31] Hungarian to me. But Latvian, yes, it is
[80:33] obviously a Latinian accent. Just Latvia
[80:36] doesn't exist in our world. Um, it kind
[80:38] of sounds like honestly if you watch
[80:40] animated versions of Dr. Doom and that
[80:42] kind of Eastern European accent that he
[80:43] does there, that's kind of what Robert
[80:44] Downey Jr. is doing. It's nothing that
[80:46] surprising. I get why people are
[80:47] fascinated by this. I think when you
[80:49] hear it, it's just going to be natural.
[80:50] Like everyone who was there in in
[80:52] Cineacon who saw it like no one was
[80:54] questioning that voice like oh my god it
[80:57] was like oh yeah no that's that's how I
[80:59] would imagine Dr. Doom to sound.
[81:02] Do you think Sebastian Stan helped him
[81:03] with the accent? Yeah. Uh that'd be fun.
[81:06] Sebastian Stan was like uh Romanian. I
[81:07] think they have other accent experts but
[81:09] I can imagine it's Have you seen videos
[81:11] of Sebastian Stan speaking that
[81:12] language? It's it's kind of insane to
[81:15] hear but it's just so natural when you
[81:17] see him do it.
[81:19] I love Sebastian Stan,
[81:24] Mobius, uh, Owen Wilson, and Doomsday. I
[81:26] think we would have heard it. I think if
[81:29] they're announcing characters like Atuma
[81:31] and Namora,
[81:34] um, yeah, I think it's more likely that
[81:36] we get B15.
[81:38] Um, because she was in Deadpool
[81:39] Wolverine.
[81:52] Um, I'm going to leave it there for this
[81:54] uh office hours. You know, I said you
[81:56] guys could ask me anything. I get why
[81:58] you just wanted to ask about Doomsday.
[81:59] That's the thumbnail of the video. But,
[82:01] um, okay. Uh, you've been asking this a
[82:04] lot. Are you going to cover any indie
[82:06] shows? What do you mean by indie shows?
[82:09] Can you give a better example of indie
[82:10] shows? like shows on like other
[82:13] streaming platforms or shows that are
[82:14] not connected to major studios.
[82:17] Um I don't know what you mean by that.
[82:21] Um but probably not. We We're a big
[82:23] fandom channel. We cover major IP on
[82:26] this channel. We're not like um you know
[82:30] uh
[82:32] a idiots like you should watch this
[82:34] obscure thing. We'll we'll re we'll make
[82:37] those recommendations in other podcasts
[82:39] we do. But we uh in terms of like doing
[82:42] a full video breakdown or review of
[82:44] something, we we're covering like the
[82:45] major stuff. Um Resident Evil trailer
[82:49] reaction. I loved it. Uh Jessica did a
[82:51] breakdown of it that's on the channel
[82:52] right now. You should watch it.
[82:57] Oh, Digital Circus. I don't think any of
[82:59] us any rock stars watch it, so probably
[83:03] not. Um I know it's popular, but we're
[83:06] probably not going to cover it. Um
[83:08] because like there are other creators
[83:10] that know more about that than New
[83:12] Rockstars. Well, we're not going to like
[83:13] fake expertise in something that we
[83:14] don't watch.
[83:17] Uh how long does it take to break down a
[83:18] trailer or a movie? What's the process
[83:20] like? I get this question a lot. Um I
[83:22] think the uh it change it depends on
[83:25] whether it's a trailer or a movie is
[83:27] very different. So after I've seen a
[83:29] movie, I'm not doing a lot of like
[83:30] theorization because I've seen the
[83:32] movie. I know what happens in it unless
[83:33] it's setting up questions for a future
[83:35] movie. Um, but with a a trailer, it's
[83:38] all kind of theorization. I'm looking at
[83:40] every shot and trying to figure out what
[83:41] the context of it is and and doing a lot
[83:43] of recap and explaining. If it's a
[83:45] sequel, I'm kind of recapping what
[83:46] happened in last movies or in the past.
[83:49] But you asked a question to break down a
[83:51] trailer or movie. All I'm doing is I'm
[83:53] doing the research and writing and
[83:54] hosting of it. We have a completely
[83:56] different talented team that's doing all
[83:58] the editing who after I shoot takes the
[84:01] footage, breaks it up into pieces,
[84:03] assigns it out to other freelance
[84:04] editors. Those editors are all working
[84:06] on those chunks at the same time
[84:08] overnight in the following morning and
[84:09] then send in their edited pieces back to
[84:11] Josh and Abby who then kind of piece it
[84:14] all back together and then do a pass
[84:17] over it and then I review it and then
[84:19] they'll apply some notes. But my end of
[84:20] it generally if it's like a indepth uh
[84:24] frame by frame analysis of something or
[84:25] if it's a movie breakdown that requires
[84:27] a lot of research um for every minute of
[84:30] content you see I spend about an hour of
[84:32] my time on it including research writing
[84:35] and hosting. So for a like if it's a
[84:39] movie breakdown that is 30 minutes long.
[84:41] Overall I spent 30 hours of my time
[84:45] watching the movie, re-watching the
[84:46] movie, transcribing my notes, organizing
[84:49] my notes, going through trailer shots to
[84:51] find the right image of something. If
[84:54] it's uh the Spider-Man brand new day
[84:56] trailer that we did in March, that
[84:58] breakdown that's like 40ome minutes.
[85:00] Yeah, I spent 40ome hours working on
[85:02] that. I did a lot of prep work based off
[85:04] of the 1 to 2 second trailer um snippets
[85:07] that they released the day before. I
[85:08] spent that full night pulling a near
[85:10] allnighter just describing what I could
[85:13] see from those and then writing recap
[85:15] stuff and just doing other research
[85:17] based off of what I knew from
[85:18] interviews. So that when the trailer hit
[85:20] first thing that morning, I just spent
[85:22] the rest of that day, it's probably
[85:24] eight hours or so at least
[85:28] um researching and writing further to
[85:31] piece all of it together into that 40
[85:33] minute whatever however long the page
[85:34] was, page count was. Um so all in all
[85:38] and then that plus hosting the video
[85:40] plus reviewing the video, my time was
[85:43] whatever it was probably a one minute to
[85:45] one hour ratio. Um, yeah, that that
[85:49] tends to be for those types of videos.
[85:51] Not all videos you see. Uh, if it's like
[85:53] kind of a news explainer, I can
[85:55] sometimes write those faster. Um,
[85:58] you know, if it's a if it's like a a
[86:00] theory video, sometimes those theories
[86:02] are kind of like floating around in my
[86:04] head for weeks and kind of the writing
[86:05] process is happening on the back burner.
[86:07] So, when I actually sit down to write
[86:09] it, I can just like I can just get it
[86:11] all out there. Um, but yeah, for these
[86:14] kind of like indepth frame by frame,
[86:16] scene by scene analyses,
[86:19] um, that's about as long as I as it
[86:21] takes.
[86:24] The sky bay.
[86:28] Probably not. I I had an idea if like if
[86:31] I ever moved on or if new rock stars
[86:33] ceased to exist because YouTube imploded
[86:36] or I don't know some some Saudi investor
[86:40] bought us and then broke us up for parts
[86:42] and then I we'd all have to find new
[86:43] jobs. I'd be like, you know, would be
[86:44] really fun just doing a breakdown of the
[86:46] office dinner party episode. I would
[86:48] just love to spend a week of my life
[86:50] just putting together a breakdown of all
[86:53] the little jokes and little details in
[86:56] just that. So, if I feel that way about
[86:58] The Office or for certain episodes of
[87:00] Parks and Wreck or The Good Place for
[87:02] VEP or for Silicon Valley, I could do
[87:05] that with Seinfeld. I mean, just talking
[87:08] about the nuances of Jason Alexander's
[87:10] or or Julie Lou Drifus' performance, I
[87:13] would love to just do that. It's
[87:14] obviously crazy [snorts]
[87:16] different from New Rockstars, but I used
[87:18] to before I I started breaking down
[87:20] Marvel movies, I used to just talk about
[87:22] comedy news and I would uh write reviews
[87:25] about episodes of Community for for a
[87:27] different website and I would break down
[87:29] SNL and I would analyze uh Saturday
[87:31] Night Live sketches every week and I did
[87:33] that for like five or six years. So
[87:34] that's kind of like how I got into media
[87:36] analysis.
[87:38] Another question here, will Deadpool
[87:39] actually have some connection from the
[87:41] previous movie? I I don't think
[87:42] Deadpool's going to be in this movie. Uh
[87:44] I the more I see about Avengers
[87:46] Doomsday, the less I think it's going to
[87:48] be connected to Deadpool and Wolverine
[87:49] other than Gambit. Um yeah,
[87:54] another question. Uh check out there are
[87:56] two Indian movies coming soon. They'll
[87:57] be marketed globally. Ramayan Ramayana
[88:00] and uh Varonasi. First one is
[88:02] distributed by Warner Brothers. Thank
[88:03] you for the recommendation. I will check
[88:04] that out.
[88:08] An actual question. How do you and the
[88:09] NR team uh not get burned out from
[88:11] researching the shows and movies and
[88:12] interviews over the years or copying
[88:14] other I don't know.
[88:17] Um to answer your question, yeah,
[88:20] burnout is a real thing and we do get
[88:21] burnt out all the time. Um
[88:25] it's like
[88:27] to for this to be your job is a great
[88:29] privilege and we don't take that for
[88:30] granted. We we work really really hard
[88:33] on what we do. Um, and just it takes a
[88:37] long time to be able to do a 40minute uh
[88:41] breakdown of a Spider-Man brand new day
[88:44] uh in like in within two days. Um, it
[88:47] does require me to be constantly
[88:50] thinking about and revisiting all the
[88:52] Spider-Man movies. Um, so I I'll say
[88:56] that it like I have to just watch other
[88:59] things that have nothing to do with like
[89:01] the with any kind of Marvel or superhero
[89:03] or or major fandom IP. Um, honestly
[89:06] having a kid really does help me from
[89:08] getting burnt out because like my
[89:10] favorite thing to do is to hang out with
[89:12] my wife and my son. So just like going
[89:14] to the park with them or going on a walk
[89:15] with them like that resets me. That's my
[89:18] home base. So then when I get home, I'm
[89:21] not just like constantly thinking about
[89:22] Marvel stuff. Just watching Survivor
[89:24] with my wife is awesome. Um going out in
[89:27] the, you know, in the backyard and
[89:30] kicking the soccer ball around with my
[89:31] son is just like now just so wonderful
[89:36] is like that's ah I can just really
[89:40] disassociate from any of this work. I
[89:42] think you need to have I mean for a lot
[89:44] of people it's like going to the gym. Um
[89:46] it's going out for a run. Um,
[89:50] it's reading books that have nothing to
[89:52] do with nerdy stuff. Um, so I I can't
[89:56] speak for everybody at New Rockstars. I
[89:58] think some people will play video games
[89:59] that have nothing to do with that. Um,
[90:01] watching reality TV, playing with my kid
[90:04] and my wife and my dog. Um, and yeah,
[90:09] that's how I not that's how I avoid
[90:10] getting burnt out.
[90:14] Thanks for the labor of love. Thank you,
[90:16] BBX.
[90:17] Um, Cody asking, "Any advice for someone
[90:19] who might want to get into your line of
[90:20] work?" Thanks. Love you all's content.
[90:22] Been watching for years. Um, yeah, my
[90:25] advice is to just like
[90:29] make as much as you can. Um, Mr. Beast
[90:33] has some quote where it's like you got
[90:35] to make a hundred videos and each time
[90:39] try to learn and apply a new lesson. And
[90:41] I think that's actually pretty good
[90:42] advice because like you got to make a
[90:45] lot of stuff. Uh, you have to experiment
[90:47] a lot. You have to hit publish a lot.
[90:50] You have to get it out there. And it
[90:52] doesn't have to be YouTube videos. It
[90:53] can just be Tik Toks. It can be Reddit
[90:55] posts. It can be Instagram reels or
[90:58] whatever. But you have to make a lot of
[91:00] content. And you will just get better at
[91:01] it. And if it's on social media, people
[91:03] will find it. Um, so I've seen a lot of
[91:07] creators, I've been doing this for about
[91:09] 10 years, and I've seen a lot of
[91:10] creators in that time go from being
[91:12] someone no one had ever heard of to
[91:14] someone a lot of people now follow. and
[91:15] it looks like they can make their living
[91:16] doing it just by kind of following that
[91:18] process by by just like
[91:21] posting a lot by uh like you know you
[91:26] can get good at like coming up with like
[91:28] your analysis of of trailers just by
[91:31] being in the uh in like the replies of
[91:35] Reddit like uh like whenever a new
[91:37] episode of Daredevil drops there will be
[91:39] that night like our live discussion and
[91:42] you can just like talk about it with
[91:44] people and you get good at like hitting
[91:46] publish um and not being afraid of it.
[91:49] And I think that's kind of how you get
[91:51] the courage to just keep keep doing it.
[91:53] But I'm telling you, this kind of work
[91:55] like it's not a it's not for the faint
[91:56] of heart. It's not for casual hobbyists.
[91:59] Like it it takes a lot out of you to be
[92:02] a content creator. And I wouldn't
[92:04] recommend it for most people. You have
[92:06] to be someone who just like loves to
[92:08] keep making and publishing stuff. You
[92:10] have to be broken in that particular way
[92:12] to do this as a line of work. Um, it's
[92:16] not easy. I think there's this illusion
[92:17] for a lot of younger folks that like
[92:19] being a a content creator or an
[92:21] influencer is easy. Every influencer I
[92:24] know who has a following who's who does
[92:25] it for their does it to pay their bills,
[92:29] they anytime I see them, they look
[92:31] exhausted. They look so tired. You could
[92:34] see that kind of like glaze over their
[92:36] eyes where they look like they've slept
[92:38] maybe 10 hours in the past week.
[92:40] Everyone's hustling and working their
[92:42] butts off and it doesn't come even
[92:43] though they kind of look like once the
[92:44] camera turns on they kind of light up
[92:46] and it looks like it's really easy.
[92:48] Everyone's tired. Everyone's hustling.
[92:51] And uh it might be more advisable to
[92:53] just work at your FedEx and and go home
[92:56] and play with your kid. And if you can
[92:58] pay your bills doing that, I would
[93:00] recommend doing that. Um because like
[93:03] it's not like the money is going to come
[93:04] that fast.
[93:06] Uh no, we are not.
[93:10] We can't afford anyone else.
[93:13] Um,
[93:16] will lanterns go cosmic eventually?
[93:17] Yeah, I I think we got a promise from
[93:19] the showrunner that we'll get an episode
[93:21] that talks about the uh the guardians of
[93:24] OA. I can't wait for lanterns. I know
[93:27] the trailer's been kind of like there's
[93:29] a weird thing going on with the lanterns
[93:30] trailer where it keeps being public and
[93:32] then privated. Uh, but I think it's a
[93:35] rights issue with the music they used in
[93:36] it. Very weird stuff going on with that,
[93:38] but I'm excited for that show in August.
[93:41] I think it'll be pretty good.
[93:44] Um, there is an Avengers theme in the
[93:46] trailer. You do hear kind of a dark
[93:48] version of Alan Sylvestri's Avengers
[93:50] music. There's um I'm trying to remember
[93:53] the the music is something like
[93:56] here. I'm going to do my best to kind of
[93:58] like glee club this.
[94:01] It's like you hear strings going
[94:05] D.
[94:08] And over that you hear synth notes
[94:11] going.
[94:26] It actually slaps. Uh, and I just had
[94:28] that in my head. I was humming it as I
[94:30] was walking back to my hotel room to
[94:31] record it. Uh, and I made a recording of
[94:34] myself doing it. so I wouldn't forget
[94:35] it. Uh, the music's pretty good. Music's
[94:37] really, really good. Go to coffee order.
[94:40] Um,
[94:42] let's see. Cold brew. Just cold brew
[94:44] black. The strongest, boldest cold brew
[94:47] you have.
[94:49] Oh my god.
[94:52] [laughter]
[94:53] [gasps]
[94:55] Uh, thoughts on Supergirl.
[94:58] Uh, I'm excited after the footage that I
[95:00] saw. The presentation by Millie Alco and
[95:03] Jason Mamoa was just weird. No one had
[95:05] prepped them.
[95:09] Yes, I think the trailer that I saw, if
[95:11] you just drop that two-minute trailer on
[95:12] YouTube, it will break the internet.
[95:14] It's that crazy.
[95:16] All right, we're going to leave it
[95:17] there, guys. We got to I got to wrap it
[95:19] up. I got other stuff I got to do. Um,
[95:21] thank you for joining this uh this live
[95:23] stream. This is a lot of fun. I I want
[95:24] to try to do this at least once a month.
[95:26] Come up on a Friday. I got maybe I got
[95:28] to do a better job of like taking
[95:30] questions uh setting up an email or
[95:32] something where you guys can send me
[95:34] questions ahead of time and then we can
[95:36] uh set an appointment where I can start
[95:38] to answer those questions while I take
[95:40] live stream questions like this. Uh but
[95:42] this was a lot of fun to be able to do
[95:44] this to be able to go through that
[95:45] ridiculous AI version of the trailer. No
[95:48] shame against Yellow Minutes who made
[95:50] it. I not crazy about the fact that you
[95:53] burnt down an acre of forest to make a
[95:55] three and a half minute AR AI version of
[95:57] that trailer, but I also understand it's
[95:59] what a lot of people are doing anyway.
[96:01] And I wanted to be able to talk about it
[96:02] just to say like let's do a better job
[96:04] recognizing when something is AI slop
[96:06] and not it's okay to watch it and just
[96:08] like have an opinion about it, but don't
[96:10] like share it around as if that's a
[96:11] confirmation of anything, right? But you
[96:14] know, one way that we can avoid that,
[96:16] Marvel Studios dropped the freaking
[96:17] trailer on YouTube so that like the
[96:19] people who make these fake AI things
[96:22] can't fool us again. Thank you so much.
[96:26] A big thanks to um to Joshua Herd for uh
[96:30] coming up with the thumbnail, for Brian
