00:03:56:14 - 00:04:19:05
Kate
I'm sorry I had to miss last week, y'all. My mama was in town so let's jump into some Disney plus news. First of all, a new trailer was released on May 4th for the upcoming Miss Marvel series. No, wait. The Obi-Wan Series. The trailer features a teasing look at the return of Darth Vader. Obi-Wan will debut with two episodes on Friday, May 27th.
00:04:19:16 - 00:04:21:29
Derrick
Now, in her defense, it was written like that.
00:04:23:03 - 00:04:24:06
Kate
It was.
00:04:24:06 - 00:04:29:03
Derrick
Yes, it was written like that. So on May the fourth. They did Miss Martin, though, Obi-Wan. So, yeah.
00:04:29:24 - 00:04:42:02
Kate
Excellent. All right. Light and Magic, a six part series looking at the special effects works of Industrial Light and Magic will be debuting on July 27th on Disney plus. That could be really interesting.
00:04:42:02 - 00:04:43:04
Derrick
I will be there for that one.
00:04:44:16 - 00:04:46:03
Kate
That could be interesting. We'll see. Yeah, for.
00:04:46:03 - 00:04:46:12
Pete
Sure.
00:04:47:22 - 00:05:13:17
Kate
Number three and upcoming Star Wars series A Soldier began filming yesterday. The series features Rosario Dawson as the title character, which is amazing because Rosario Dawson is actually in the Marvel cinematic universe. If you watch Daredevil or Jessica Jones or Luke Cage, she is the nurse, so she has now joined the ranks of people who are both in the Marvel Universe and the Star Wars universe.
00:05:13:28 - 00:05:41:05
Kate
So yeah, she's awesome. Yeah, I love her next step. Oh, boy. A trailer was released today for rides a Disney Plus original movie following the origins of the Antetokounmpo Brothers Antetokounmpo got it, three of which are in the NBA. The movie releases June 24th. I think I'm going to like that a lot because I like documentaries like that.
00:05:41:12 - 00:05:45:08
Derrick
But it is more of a docu drama.
00:05:45:15 - 00:05:47:10
Kate
Yeah, it's a movie based on them.
00:05:47:24 - 00:05:51:09
Derrick
Yeah. Yeah. So it's not a book.
00:05:51:17 - 00:06:17:05
Kate
But who we're talking about today. But who doesn't? So good Disney sports movie. I mean, right on you, right? All right. And then last but certainly not least, a new Descendants movie, The Pocket Watch has been greenlit today for Disney Plus Productions will begin this fall. I love The Descendants, so I'm not mad about this. And in Not So Disney Plus News, a couple of weeks ago, I got to hang out with my friend Pee Wee.
00:06:17:05 - 00:06:18:12
Pete
Did it was fun.
00:06:18:27 - 00:06:20:28
Kate
It was so fun. Yeah.
00:06:22:13 - 00:06:30:27
Derrick
Yeah. Gina is with us, so can't wait for Obi Wan and Asoka. Watch The Clone Wars animated series to get her origin story.
00:06:31:04 - 00:06:34:27
Pete
So just just set aside like 58 hours.
00:06:37:28 - 00:06:45:00
Kate
Not happening, guys. I'll watch the live action series, but I'm not watching those animated Star Wars, OK?
00:06:45:00 - 00:06:45:18
Derrick
Actually, what I.
00:06:45:24 - 00:06:45:28
Kate
What.
00:06:46:01 - 00:06:48:12
Derrick
I will match. Is that better than bad match?
00:06:50:06 - 00:06:54:13
Kate
No, apparently. Apparently, once you get to, like, season eight or something working at home.
00:06:55:15 - 00:07:12:18
Pete
What I what I will say is I think if you go on Disney Plus and you go on to Star Wars, they'll actually they actually have like a you scroll down, they have a line that says like an important Ashoka episodes. So you can just watch like four or five episodes that tell her backstory.
00:07:13:03 - 00:07:13:26
Derrick
OK, that could help.
00:07:14:05 - 00:07:18:04
Pete
I'm guessing that the series will probably also cover some of that, too.
00:07:18:28 - 00:07:36:16
Kate
OK, any theory, any new like live action series? That doesn't give me enough background where I have to go watch a bunch of animated like eight or ten seasons of animated stuff. It's just it's just not going to happen. So I try to give you as much background in the first few episodes as they can.
00:07:36:26 - 00:07:40:06
Derrick
Or five or six Marvel movies, just saying.
00:07:40:21 - 00:07:46:29
Kate
Just listen. You know, I'll watch all the Marvel movies except for Turtles again. I will not watch that again.
00:07:49:11 - 00:08:07:26
Derrick
Ryan says he's been watching the sketchbook recently. It's amazing. Ryan, I'm going to agree with you on that one. Get out. Take pencil and paper with you and learn how to draw some of the classic Disney characters and not so classic. But I know they've got a Captain Hook, they have an OLAF, they have a Genie, they've got some very classic ones.
00:08:07:26 - 00:08:15:16
Derrick
So if you ever wanted to know how to draw some of the classic characters, I would agree. Right. That is a very good show. If I was say.
00:08:15:17 - 00:08:17:02
Kate
I'm going to I'm going to have to try that.
00:08:17:04 - 00:08:20:23
Derrick
It's not something to watch all the episodes in Toronto.
00:08:20:27 - 00:08:37:03
Pete
Yeah. No, I watched it, too. And my daughter is in animation in college and she watched it and she did like it as well. And I'm with Derek on that. Like, just watch one episode at a time. But but yeah, it's very interesting. Very interesting.
00:08:37:13 - 00:09:12:19
Derrick
And the episodes are only like 15, 20 minutes, but they only start drawing like the last half. So there's that. Okay. This week the big release for Disney was the seasonal finale of Moon Nights, which Disney has actually changed their text from series finale to season finale. Interesting to see what that's going to bring up. But Pete, I'm going to start over with you were was the finale a good way to end the night?
00:09:14:11 - 00:09:39:18
Pete
So I'm going to I'm in anybody's watching knows I've really loved this series. It I think it's been fantastic. This episode to me was the most new the the least interesting of the episodes. I do think it did a good job of wrapping the story, which it kind of I don't know how else they would have done it.
00:09:39:18 - 00:09:57:29
Pete
So I will give it credit to say that it took it took the story that they've been telling and then wrap that all into a nice little bow you know, had the final boss battle between Emma and Concha and Hero and Stephen.
00:09:58:02 - 00:09:58:25
Derrick
Night, Mark.
00:09:58:26 - 00:10:13:11
Pete
Strange night, Mr. Night Yeah. And Jake and I think the think the part I liked the best was the was the what's the scarlet scarab is that her name?
00:10:13:11 - 00:10:15:29
Kate
What's yeah. Yeah. Leyla as the scarlet.
00:10:16:18 - 00:10:37:10
Pete
And emote or I thought I thought that was the best part of it because it was the most surprising part of it. Even though that even though they kind of just gave her Falcons powers. But as we got this, uh, we got this, we got these special effects left over. Let's just reuse these.
00:10:38:14 - 00:10:38:27
Kate
Just getting.
00:10:40:24 - 00:10:42:14
Pete
So overall, I would say.
00:10:42:14 - 00:10:45:22
Derrick
Heroes were interchangeable. I told you they could all go with me. The other.
00:10:46:01 - 00:10:53:03
Pete
Yeah, overall, I'd say it was a good ending. To a great series for me. What do you think, Sam?
00:10:54:01 - 00:11:18:14
Kate
So I liked this episode. It was the most memorably. I feel like of this season, meaning we had a lot of, you know, we had the big fight scene. We had the we have Mark and Stephen on and now sort of Jake, they get to actually have their hero moment, right? They get to defeat the bad guy. And so that's we were kind of waiting for that to happen.
00:11:18:14 - 00:11:40:25
Kate
Or as that was sort of set up over the series. But I loved Leyla as a super hero also. I love that she got to be turret avatar. I want to see more of it. So I really thought that that was a great part of the episode, especially where Tower is talking to her through like the various dead people and then threw herself.
00:11:40:25 - 00:12:23:06
Kate
And it was that was just kind of a funny scene. Yes. I would say I like how this episode wrapped things up, but also left open a bunch of questions, right? So we had certain things wrapped up or we thought we had Stephen and Mark wrapped up with Nina not being conscious Avatar anymore, but obviously in the after credits scene, that all got shaken up but we don't know, for example, if Layla is going to be our avatar in the future, if she were it to continue, if she'll continue being the scarlet scarab or if that was or if that's concluded now, I'm doubtful it's concluded.
00:12:23:26 - 00:12:45:08
Kate
But yeah, there was just a lot of interesting stuff that happened. We don't know what happened to the gods. The one thing I'm going to say I didn't like is we didn't actually get to see the final battle scene. And one of the hallmarks of a good Marvel series or movie is seeing the defeat of the villain. Right.
00:12:45:08 - 00:13:08:00
Kate
And seeing the entire battle scene play out. But because as Jake took over, right. We have this missing piece of the scene. And so it's the part of the episode I like the twist at the end with Jake, but I feel like I would have been just as happy to still have that twist, but see that full, final battle.
00:13:08:11 - 00:13:13:19
Kate
So I'm a little disappointed because of that. Micah, tell us what you think.
00:13:14:02 - 00:13:35:10
Sam
Well, I was going to say, I, I think that I'm missing that part was part of the beauty of this one in that it wrapped up the series well, in that there's still a part of himself he doesn't know. And I think it just sort of helps hold the whole series together. I would agree with you that I think the best scenes are with Layla.
00:13:36:02 - 00:13:55:15
Sam
I really love that she's more the main character for a lot of this. And yeah, Tara talking through the dead people and also then taking over her. I was rolling with laughter at that part, just the way that she acts that of being down in pain and then jumping up and doing with the hands and. Oh, yes, yeah.
00:13:55:16 - 00:13:56:19
Sam
That was my favorite part.
00:13:56:21 - 00:13:59:05
Kate
It was the best. That was the best moment. Totally.
00:13:59:14 - 00:14:22:06
Sam
This one was just so short. I think it wrapped things up, but they took some really big jumps that I would have loved to see another 10 minutes or so and just have a few things a little bit more explained, but they do these really big jumps right at the end. You finish the battle scene and then what happens to Layla?
00:14:22:06 - 00:14:43:29
Sam
It's just sort of, boom, they're gone. And I would have loved a few more minutes there too, you know, Layla and Mark and Steven just a little bit of a conversation, and I loved some of the interactions between Steven getting to know Layla and there's this tension sort of between them. And how is Marc and Steven and her relationship going to move forward?
00:14:44:07 - 00:14:58:22
Sam
And they just sort of jumped past all of that so I liked the way it ended. But if this is truly the end of this story, then I think there's some stuff that I would be disappointed with so I'll leave it with that for the moment.
00:15:00:11 - 00:15:21:13
Derrick
OK? Yeah, I like the episode. I'm going to disagree. To me, it was not the most marvelous episode to me. That was episode three with the fight with Is It Michael the Bone Collector or whatever the the pilot, the pyramid, where he had to go in, didn't read the book.
00:15:21:25 - 00:15:24:11
Kate
That was like Indiana Jones, though, no doubt.
00:15:24:21 - 00:15:28:20
Derrick
No, that was the most marvel because that fight didn't really make a difference in the story.
00:15:28:26 - 00:15:32:21
Kate
I mean, I just I mean that.
00:15:33:03 - 00:15:56:12
Derrick
To me, a Marvel show is one where they're in the middle and the fights. Yes, they have all these fights, but they just keep going. The fights at the end. I don't mind. I really don't mind. In Marvel shows, there there was so much in this episode that I love, even at the beginning where Harold says, you know, Mark, Stephen, whoever else may be in, they are.
00:15:56:26 - 00:16:28:13
Derrick
Yes. Sometimes we need the cold light of death before we can see reality. So it's there's so many clues there of a that not all of this is exactly real, but a lot of it is in this episode, OK, Michael, for Laila, I know they made her an amalgamation of her and her father for Scarlet Scarab, but even before she became to the Scarlet Scarab, she killed two really quickly and really easily.
00:16:28:29 - 00:16:29:09
Kate
Yeah.
00:16:29:10 - 00:16:53:06
Derrick
What is her true background? Well, and I know in this in the series, they don't say, but that has a question to me of she is not just some archeologists that how quickly she was able to and silently she was able to kill showed some training to me so but what.
00:16:53:07 - 00:17:18:00
Sam
We got hints of that earlier on with when they went to Mr. Knight, not Mr. Knight midnight the guy who was doing the collection. And they had that weird game with the spears and they were on the horses and there was those little pyramid glass pyramid things to be interacting with him and to be talking about, oh, and I'm going to forget the oh, the place that we we heard about.
00:17:18:00 - 00:17:21:06
Sam
In fact, a the Winter Soldier.
00:17:22:06 - 00:17:23:29
Pete
Come a porter or something like that or.
00:17:24:00 - 00:17:24:09
Derrick
Yeah.
00:17:24:17 - 00:17:31:24
Sam
Yeah. For her to be mixed up in that, you know, she's got to be pretty bad ass to be doing this kind of stuff and she's into some shady stuff.
00:17:33:03 - 00:17:34:02
Kate
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:36:00 - 00:17:58:11
Derrick
Oh, hey, I have all sorts of questions, OK? Why did he actually why did he leave the scarab behind on Mark's chest? Why did he leave that there? Chuckles. Terrible, sweet. Well, but was it supposed to be some kind of a calling card or. I mean, it made no sense for him to leave that because it pointed them straight to where the little fat stone statue was.
00:17:59:13 - 00:18:00:00
Derrick
I mean, it was.
00:18:00:11 - 00:18:07:16
Pete
It was it was he didn't need it anymore. So and he thought Mark was dead, so he just left it there. But it was really just.
00:18:08:16 - 00:18:09:17
Derrick
But I mean, let's.
00:18:09:17 - 00:18:12:29
Pete
Call it what it was as a plot convenience really for later in the.
00:18:12:29 - 00:18:13:11
Kate
Day. Yeah.
00:18:14:12 - 00:18:28:07
Sam
Well, just moves along the plot of saying that she will be the scarlet scarab and it's that one last. Here it is. The skull. The scarab is actually going to Layla and that's her last little tip of before we see her.
00:18:28:19 - 00:18:51:29
Derrick
Which as you look at it though to tolerate her the her breastplate has the little scarab beetle on it. Yeah. So that that's again, one of those little details Kate, I'm going to let you go so I don't talk over everything you were going to say. But trust me, there's more to talk about on this episode. So, Kate, what do you think.
00:18:51:29 - 00:18:55:01
Kate
About I mean, it's funny that you think I have a lot to say.
00:18:55:17 - 00:18:56:21
Derrick
Or at least something to say.
00:18:56:29 - 00:19:19:06
Kate
I so I watched this episode and I like paid attention to this episode. I think I wasn't doing other stuff. I actually watched it. And it's so funny because all of you were like, it was so fast. And I was like, this episode was forever long. And, and I think I, I I, I think I needed to watch this episode twice, which I didn't do.
00:19:19:10 - 00:19:48:14
Kate
And I'm realizing as I'm listening to all of you, I'm like, dude, I didn't catch that who's that person? Don't remember that name. So I there are things that, oh, my god, words are so hard, so I like it. I thought that I did like it. I liked it more than I thought I would because I tend to get tripped out and I'm going to use the wrong word again.
00:19:48:14 - 00:19:51:00
Kate
Forgive me with the multiple personality.
00:19:51:03 - 00:19:52:09
Derrick
Kind of identity disorder.
00:19:52:22 - 00:20:22:16
Kate
That I'm never, ever going to remember that. But that that trips me out a little bit because it's so out of my realm of understanding. But and so I thought I was really not going to like this show because of that, but I just fell in love with both Mark and Stephen and Holly the Hippo, because duh. And but I did time for your check up time for you, tiger.
00:20:23:03 - 00:20:56:26
Kate
You took it. But I just did not follow. I did. I was very, very confused. Very confused. Kate, the jumping between what is reality? What is like the asylum into into the Egypt, into a field of flight like I just I wanted to read it. Yeah. Yeah. And I think the scene changes do make it confusing as far as you know are we in Mark's head?
00:20:56:26 - 00:21:18:21
Kate
Are we in the afterlife? Are in real life right like there is I mean, and then we went herel within the institution at the end. I I'll be honest, I didn't know if we were back inside, like the afterlife. Mark. Christ, no, no, no. I still don't know. Well, I can't lie in real life. I think we were in real life because of what happened in the car.
00:21:18:21 - 00:21:41:24
Kate
But yeah, I mean, there are those scene changes are a little bit intentionally, I think, misleading to try and get you to question what's going on in and the like even when like they'd be walking and somebody was like, it's me, it's Mark. Like, I'm in this random body and I'm tried to tell you that this is a bad deal.
00:21:41:24 - 00:21:59:15
Kate
It's like, wait, I thought Mark was dead. Hang on. Very confused. So I am a person that I mean, you all saw me during Loki, Micah. You didn't see me during Loki. I mean, like, like, listen, game over for me during Loki because it was like I was like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't understand any of this.
00:22:01:11 - 00:22:36:12
Kate
Overall, I think this was a really good show. I think they acted the crap out of it so well, acted so well. Shot. I can't remember the main actors name Oscar Isaac. Oscar Isaac is is not human. Like he's so good. So as an actor, I very much appreciated all of that. I think I need to go back and re I think I need to rewatch it with someone sitting next to me who really understands it, who can say this is what's happening right now.
00:22:36:27 - 00:22:43:05
Kate
Oh, does that make sense? So but I liked it. I think it was very I think it was a well.
00:22:44:09 - 00:23:03:03
Pete
I get that. But I guess similar to Loki, like not so much this episode, but the previous episodes I just kind of went with, yeah, some of this is in his head and some of it is in the afterlife and I don't really know for sure. And I feel like they're trying to trick me into thinking into that I should be thinking it's all in his, you know what I mean?
00:23:03:03 - 00:23:18:04
Pete
Like they want me to think maybe it's all in his head, which is, which is a thing I hate. So I kind of ignored that because I, I hate that whole concept that the entire thing, you know, like if they ended that way, the bar series all happened.
00:23:18:27 - 00:23:21:17
Derrick
It's the Newhart thing. Yeah. It was all that work.
00:23:21:17 - 00:23:31:16
Pete
But I'm talking about like. Yeah, like, it was, oh, this didn't really happen. It was all in his head type thing. I, I usually don't really care for that, and thank goodness they didn't do that.
00:23:31:17 - 00:23:33:00
Kate
Yeah, it's a flip flop copout.
00:23:33:08 - 00:24:14:05
Pete
But. Right, yeah, but yeah, because like, and I'm going to have some questions for Michael when we get around to that. But my biggest question is several episodes, we would jump back to Steven or Mark talking to Hiro in the psychologist's office that was a duplicate of Heroes May or houses or whatever. Yeah. Man Cave. Yeah. And like, so is that definitely in Steven's head then because then at the, at the end there they went to it again.
00:24:14:05 - 00:24:33:27
Pete
And then you saw like he saw Heroes feet bleeding, which we only know about because of like the very first scene in the show, which Mark did not see and so is like but then he made it like, oh, now I know that this is this, but well.
00:24:33:27 - 00:24:45:29
Kate
It's sort of in his head because it's also the afterlife right? It's the test for him when he's in the asylum, he's it's in his head, but it's also the balancing him trying to balance the scale because.
00:24:45:29 - 00:24:49:08
Derrick
Like, what do you call it, an organizing principle? Yeah, something like that. Yeah.
00:24:49:08 - 00:24:52:05
Sam
Yeah. Tara refers to it as the organizing principle.
00:24:52:07 - 00:25:13:21
Pete
That scene takes place after he's back alive. So it's still going on in his head. Yeah, he's going back to this psychological. Right. So he's still not sure if it's reality, but the fact that he cedes here. Am I getting this right, Mike? He's the fact that he's seeing Harrow's feet bleeding. Yes, he knows. It's not that that harrow's actually the bad guy.
00:25:14:05 - 00:25:36:22
Sam
Yeah. And thinking about it as the organizing principle and as he as Mark and Stephen are on this journey and they are coming to peace with they their reality is between the two of them, I think it's a beautiful way of wrapping that up in that they realize that their organizing principle that they are isn't needed anymore. And it's fun to see the two of them talk back and forth to each other.
00:25:36:28 - 00:25:54:17
Sam
One of my favorite lines is did you see that when they're talking about the blood and they're realizing and we didn't necessarily see that he was walking on glass, Mark didn't. But every time he steps in every scene that Harrow is in, you hear the glass breaking every step.
00:25:54:28 - 00:25:56:26
Derrick
So yeah, you hear the crunch.
00:25:56:26 - 00:25:58:18
Pete
Yeah, I never noticed that.
00:25:58:18 - 00:26:17:04
Sam
OK, yeah. If you go back and listen every time he steps, they very much have that. So it's one of these I think it's a beautiful way coming back to that scene to saying maybe this is how it's wrapping up and he's healing this relationship with himself there. And he no longer needs that organizing principle of that space.
00:26:17:24 - 00:26:50:04
Derrick
And K going to some of our common friends has disappointed we didn't see the pivotal fight scene, just a blackout still trying to figure out why it was really TV 14 I'm guessing the the organ harvesting scene was probably the TV 14 theme he says Jacob's the chauffeur was his favorite part we'll get to that Brian says if you don't know marvel and don't know to watch through the credits you missed the ending usually a poster mid credits is something new but this one felt extremely necessary for the show ending.
00:26:50:04 - 00:27:00:18
Derrick
Yeah I'm sure it was necessary but yet it was still new. So Steve says he would like more the avatars fighting less of the King Kong CGI battle.
00:27:02:12 - 00:27:20:25
Sam
Can I can I just mention one thing with that is that it is this wonderful. If you know much of Greek mythology or ancient mythology, there is this idea that the people will fight and their gods fight at the same time. And this was a beautiful capture of that. And I thought they did an awesome I'm not OK.
00:27:20:25 - 00:27:39:02
Sam
I am a little bit into the big monsters fighting but I think it's more this was the we see the the action of the little people and their gods going at the same time. And I thought for those of us that know mythology, that is just a beautiful capturing of some of that mythology. So I loved that scene just because of that.
00:27:39:14 - 00:27:55:13
Kate
I love it too. And I love that they didn't focus though, on the gods, right? Like I loved that the gods were they were they were on there, but they were fighting in the background and the action was up front was the fighting between the people. So I agree with you, Micah. I thought that was a great representation.
00:27:55:20 - 00:28:13:23
Pete
Yeah. And it didn't go on too long, which that's the big thing to me was like the Godzilla movies of late is that you got like an hour of monster fighting, and it actually gets pretty boring after a while, in my view. And this was like there was just enough of it there that you were OK that I was OK with it.
00:28:14:19 - 00:28:19:21
Pete
And as you said, it mostly focused on the individuals as opposed to the gods themselves. So.
00:28:20:15 - 00:28:20:24
Kate
Yeah.
00:28:22:03 - 00:28:31:03
Derrick
Nick says earlier on in the series, Mark just seemed annoyed by Steven touch him to see him embrace him literally and figuratively by the end. Again, we'll get to Steven, and Mark's being here in a little bit.
00:28:31:15 - 00:28:34:15
Pete
To anyone else want to hear him say, you complete me?
00:28:35:03 - 00:28:57:08
Derrick
No, Vicki says, leaving the scarabs. Like when the villain tells their whole plan, they think the hero won't survive yes. It's he's is simply the Marvel equivalent of him monologuing. Right. So and Ed says, they want you to think what you think. The way they think. You think you need to think about it. Of course.
00:28:58:14 - 00:29:01:03
Kate
Yeah, of course. Good for you. Perfect sense that perfect.
00:29:03:07 - 00:29:27:19
Derrick
So as we have said, we've got the whole Mark and Steven from the beginning of the show where they weren't really or at least Steven was not aware of Mark at all to them cohabitating the body, saying, I'm going to go to you OK? Was the was the arc of the story satisfying.
00:29:30:22 - 00:30:04:04
Kate
Yes and no. It the it was satisfying in the sense that Mark learns to accept Stephen's existing and appreciate why he created Stephen in the first place. And why is Steve Stephen is as much a part of him now as himself, right? He is that he he and he goes back for him instead of staying in the field of read the parts that to me were disappointing about this were a couple of things.
00:30:04:04 - 00:30:26:01
Kate
One, it didn't really make sense of if he went back and they both like turned to stone, why did this other God re-open the gate for them like that? I still I don't really get it, I guess. OK, oh no. We'll get to you in a second, Derek. So to me, it didn't make sense that the that this other God would all of a sudden now let them back in.
00:30:26:07 - 00:30:55:24
Kate
The other thing to me that didn't really make sense again is the balancing of the scales issue, right? The two hearts. And the reason I say that is because we all know there is a third heart right? So how can the heart be complete when it's just the two when we know there's a third missing one? So to me, this idea of balancing didn't really work itself out properly because we're still missing the third piece of it.
00:30:56:04 - 00:31:23:21
Kate
And so I didn't think the story made a whole lot of sense in that respect. But I do love the the I do love the mark because now it's Stephen as a part of them and that they're coexisting. And I love that they both love Layla and, you know, in their different ways. And, and as other said, and hopefully we'll see them again, looking forward to that relationship and them continuing to coexist.
00:31:23:26 - 00:31:27:16
Kate
I think it'll be pretty funny, actually, Micah.
00:31:28:24 - 00:31:53:20
Sam
Yeah, I liked that. You talked about Mark accepting Steven, where the show does an excellent job introducing us to the clueless one, Steven and his journey. And I think we see his journey up through the episode five and him accepting and then being sort of the savior of Mark there, taking out the other one. And then we get to see the flip where we actually like Mark now.
00:31:53:27 - 00:32:17:22
Sam
And then he comes back and saves and I liked that part and I, I was hoping that we would see one of the gods save them and get them out. But I actually like that it is Mark sacrificing himself and the heart bringing them both back and that it's, I, I would almost go to say it's not the gods doing it now.
00:32:17:22 - 00:32:33:24
Sam
One of the gods opens the door and I'll let Derek get to that. But I thought it was neat that it's through Mark sacrificing himself in a way that brings Steven back and the two of them back into. Oh, Derek's making all sorts of things. Think I really like the journey.
00:32:33:25 - 00:32:35:20
Pete
Derek needs to appear. He wants to say something.
00:32:36:06 - 00:32:55:25
Sam
I really like the journey from Steven to not liking Mark to we're accepting both of them. And it's not just them accepting them, but I think they did a good job of bringing us along into us liking Mark. And I'm curious to see how they're going to do that with Jake because Jake Yeah, I don't know that we're going to like him but yeah.
00:32:55:28 - 00:32:58:05
Sam
Derek, what were you thinking? What did they ask for?
00:32:58:05 - 00:33:22:07
Derrick
Oh, OK. So first question first, what I had is so Osiris, when to what it comes in, she says, Osiris, you big softie. One thing you have to realize is Osiris is Avatar has died at that point. And so Osiris knows that the only way to defeat help.
00:33:22:18 - 00:33:23:03
Sam
Them at.
00:33:23:15 - 00:33:49:09
Derrick
The moment is to release cons to and through. And they have cons. You, you have to have mark. I don't think it was him being a softie. I think it was a we know we have to have this guy. So I think that's that Mark Stephens sacrifice is totally wasted to me because they bring him back to life.
00:33:49:26 - 00:34:22:28
Derrick
What would have happened if Black Widow and Iron Man all of a sudden found a way to come back to life? Their sacrifices don't mean as much. This is such an early marvel thing to do. How many times has Loki died? I mean, really, but they like to bring this back and yet they wasted a chance to truly have Steven sacrifice really mean something by having him actually come back now, Jake, because you've got to include Jake in this story.
00:34:23:24 - 00:34:46:24
Derrick
We have seen Jake more than just the end credits that we have. See, obviously he is the one that does the big climactic fight where they finally defeat Hero. I'm going to argue he's the one in the in the donut van in episode one. He's the one in this in the village in episode one that kills all those people so fast.
00:34:48:05 - 00:34:57:27
Derrick
I also think we actually see Jake I think Jake is the one with the broken nose in the office. I also well.
00:34:58:06 - 00:35:07:11
Kate
Know because he has a New York accent and Jake speaks Spanish, not he's and the New York accent is is Mark. The New York accent is Mark. But but his accent is.
00:35:07:24 - 00:35:09:05
Derrick
Different than Mark's.
00:35:09:25 - 00:35:11:10
Kate
And the do it again I watch.
00:35:11:10 - 00:35:15:12
Pete
Well also and the producer came out and said that that is not Jake, so.
00:35:15:13 - 00:35:17:12
Kate
Right. Yeah, that's my not him.
00:35:17:12 - 00:35:25:17
Derrick
OK, how about him acting supervisor how about him acting super violent in the office where he doesn't actually speak, but he grabs that glass pyramid and tries to go after him.
00:35:27:18 - 00:35:52:08
Derrick
Although really the big thing about that, if that was actually Jake, all three of them would be dead right away. Yeah, but so I know I think Jake's I think we got to resolve Jake. I think though, if we're going to go with Jake in season two, you're not going to like moon night you're not going to like this character because Jake is not exactly any kind of redeemable.
00:35:52:20 - 00:36:21:00
Derrick
And this actually goes back to one of the comic runs or moon nights, almost the bad guy. You because you'll notice conscious suit is a little different. It's not the Mr. Knight, it's not it's got like some stripes on it almost and that is directly off of one of the comic runs. That is he's a bad guy. He is not does not have hardly any redeemable features.
00:36:21:17 - 00:36:24:13
Derrick
Hey, Kate, first, how is the Bloody Mary?
00:36:24:24 - 00:36:25:15
Kate
It's very good.
00:36:27:00 - 00:36:41:23
Derrick
Second, what was your thought of Mark markets? OK, ignore what I said. Normal? No. What did you like the score? You interact hey, Mike. Mikey, you like it? Yeah.
00:36:41:27 - 00:36:43:06
Kate
I liked him.
00:36:45:27 - 00:36:58:01
Kate
A lot. I wish you what could you see inside my head right now? They're talking, and I'm like, didn't catch that oh, that that didn't catch that.
00:36:58:11 - 00:37:00:16
Pete
So, see, now you go back and watch it.
00:37:00:25 - 00:37:01:09
Kate
I know you.
00:37:01:09 - 00:37:02:10
Pete
Were talking to us, and.
00:37:02:13 - 00:37:31:29
Kate
I almost feel bad because I'm like, I don't know you to, like, in part because I didn't catch any of this. And so but just solely looking at Steven and Mark, I loved their progression. I loved that as soon as Mark wakes up, he's like, Steven are you still there? Like, I and I love I. I love that Steven was created.
00:37:31:29 - 00:38:08:25
Kate
And this is from the last not this past September. So before that, Steven was created essentially to protect Mark, to protect like his little kid heart from that horrible mother that he had. Like, he, he Steven was created out of love to protect, like, I love the two of them. I think their dynamic is great. I love watching them throughout the show and how things change and how things like at first it's like, you know, like you don't get to take over my body.
00:38:08:26 - 00:38:37:06
Kate
What is happening? I don't know. Oh, no, here we are and we're taking over bodies and things like. But I love how it became where Mark made it to paradise or whatever and was like, now I'm going back. I like I'm not leaving him. And so I really loved from from my confused point of view, I really loved the relationship between the two of them.
00:38:37:06 - 00:38:39:00
Kate
I thought it was well done.
00:38:39:21 - 00:39:07:17
Pete
Yeah. And I'll just add to that, you know, Derrick saying he didn't like Steven coming back to life. I mean, I'll agree with you. There's times when, you know, Marvel keeping bringing back characters and things. In this particular case, I think it works because the idea was that to get to heaven, you know, the field of reeds or whatever you want to call it, Mark had to give up Steven and had to be a dissatisfied whole.
00:39:08:00 - 00:39:29:29
Pete
And he realizes that that's he's not ready for that. He would rather still have Steven come back. And, you know, he knows he knows they need him to save the world as well. So I think I think that all works for me that, you know, and he feels like he needs Steven to be, you know, to be whole.
00:39:30:07 - 00:39:54:13
Pete
And so that that that to me is fine, that they that they brought Steven back I'm just going to go I did love the entire character arc with them. I agree with what Micah said earlier. I would have liked to seen at the end maybe one or two more scenes just of how they're existing with the two of them, besides like waking up in bed and being chained to the bed.
00:39:55:15 - 00:39:57:09
Derrick
And how they interact with Layla.
00:39:57:09 - 00:40:05:02
Pete
And how they interact with Layla. Right. Are they still in a relationship with her? You know, she's she gets to get to guys. It's pretty good for her, right?
00:40:06:18 - 00:40:17:15
Kate
No, no, absolutely not. Absolutely not. OK, well, more than one was more than one man is not better person. Perfect. Oh, thank you.
00:40:19:01 - 00:40:22:06
Pete
Yeah, well, he can make the mess of two men, can he?
00:40:22:15 - 00:40:22:27
Kate
Yes.
00:40:23:01 - 00:40:25:23
Derrick
One guy can make the mess of two men come back.
00:40:26:15 - 00:40:28:01
Kate
He absolutely can.
00:40:28:02 - 00:40:33:26
Sam
You got to have Mark makes a mess when you hand it over to Steven, and Steven's cleaning it up. We saw it. You know.
00:40:33:26 - 00:40:34:24
Pete
We saw Steven's.
00:40:35:12 - 00:40:41:04
Derrick
I love the line at the end. I can't believe this. And Mark goes, I can't believe we live in this frickin mess.
00:40:42:14 - 00:40:43:07
Pete
I think Mark would be.
00:40:43:07 - 00:40:43:11
Derrick
The.
00:40:43:29 - 00:40:45:13
Pete
More organized one.
00:40:45:13 - 00:41:01:20
Kate
Yeah, right. He's more like a military style, man. Yeah. Yeah. No, terrible. Who would ever want to live with a man with. Well, with two men or a man with two or three personalities, plus, god can puppeteer everything. No, thank you.
00:41:03:02 - 00:41:07:16
Pete
Well, he thinks the God is gone there at the end. Yes, but Steven and Mark do.
00:41:07:22 - 00:41:11:16
Kate
Right. But so eventually find out. Don't worry. Yeah.
00:41:13:02 - 00:41:27:02
Derrick
Steve says he wanted more in the resolution. Love the rising. Actually, the climax. I think that's a fairly agreed upon statement. A big he says many plot holes Gina. Micah, what is Jake's suit?
00:41:27:10 - 00:41:55:02
Sam
Well, now, here's the thing in the comics, so we have no clue because in the comics the mr. Knight suit that Steven ends up getting is a totally different character. But this brings up another question. Maybe not necessarily the suit but is he still the avatar because he's been freed from that and maybe Jake is just a bad ass assassin and doesn't have the powers of the God and maybe doesn't have a suit.
00:41:55:02 - 00:42:07:20
Sam
Maybe he just he's using a gun where the other ones didn't use a gun. They used like the moon stuff. So I'm curious to see, is he still moon night or is he no longer an avatar?
00:42:08:09 - 00:42:09:20
Kate
I still think he's moonlight.
00:42:09:26 - 00:42:26:07
Sam
You still think he's moonlight? Yeah. And if we get a suit, I think it's going to be totally new. And I actually that's one of my biggest appointments is I was hoping they would show us the new suit because we have no clue. We've never seen anything like that in any of the comics. So it will be a completely new thing if they bring that.
00:42:26:16 - 00:42:36:16
Pete
And I did notice that. When can't you was, like, talking about freeing him? He specifically said, Yes, I will free Steven and women.
00:42:36:17 - 00:42:37:01
Derrick
Smart.
00:42:37:10 - 00:42:37:17
Kate
Right?
00:42:38:03 - 00:42:39:21
Pete
He didn't say I will freed you.
00:42:40:03 - 00:42:43:20
Kate
Which means. Which means Jake is still his avatar.
00:42:44:01 - 00:42:45:12
Pete
That's how I think that means. Yeah.
00:42:45:25 - 00:42:46:04
Kate
Yeah.
00:42:46:06 - 00:43:00:20
Derrick
Which brings up an interesting point of him still being shackled to the bed does that show him still being shackled to conceal? I mean, that I mean, that there's, you know, if you want to dove into it that deep, I mean.
00:43:01:09 - 00:43:02:09
Pete
That little bit didn't make a.
00:43:02:09 - 00:43:04:11
Derrick
Lot of sense for symbolism, so.
00:43:04:28 - 00:43:09:22
Pete
I know, but that bit didn't make a lot of sense to me, because if Steven and if Steven and Mark don't know about Jake.
00:43:11:00 - 00:43:13:06
Derrick
Why once shackling them to the bed?
00:43:13:20 - 00:43:15:08
Pete
Right. But there's truth to that.
00:43:15:09 - 00:43:33:20
Sam
They do know from that final, say fight scene that they're not aware of what's going on there. So they're still not sure about is there another personality? So I think they may have hints of that and they're still blanking out. So they're still doing that. So they don't wake up in some other weird village that they're fighting somebody.
00:43:33:20 - 00:43:34:06
Sam
And I think.
00:43:34:16 - 00:43:56:16
Derrick
OK, except in episode five, Mark directly looks at the sarcophagus that doesn't get opened and keeps walking. Mark knows there's somebody else because it wasn't the Stephen character. It was the Mark character looks over there. Yeah, sarcophagus shake.
00:43:56:23 - 00:43:58:03
Kate
In the in keeps.
00:43:58:04 - 00:43:59:00
Derrick
Going on.
00:43:59:02 - 00:44:00:01
Kate
In the. So that's.
00:44:00:01 - 00:44:08:11
Derrick
Right. And think about, you know, the. Was that me? No, that wasn't me, was it? You know, it wasn't me. So they know there's someone else in there.
00:44:08:19 - 00:44:10:18
Pete
And that happened earlier in the series too.
00:44:10:22 - 00:44:31:25
Derrick
Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. So OK, Micah, I'm going to go with you though. The license, OK? Very last scene license plate on the limo was Specter. Talk to us about who the Mark Spector character is and why that makes sense in the comic run.
00:44:32:04 - 00:44:37:18
Kate
Was I supposed to catch that yeah. They showed it to Snowden.
00:44:37:24 - 00:44:40:22
Pete
They showed it really big that the license plate said, yeah.
00:44:41:03 - 00:44:45:28
Kate
I mean, maybe that was one of the moments where I was like, what just happened?
00:44:46:04 - 00:44:48:18
Pete
I just assumed it was a big James Bond crossover.
00:44:49:06 - 00:44:55:16
Kate
Well, what that was, I totally knew. I was just waiting for you to ask that of course. Of course. Yeah.
00:44:56:01 - 00:45:15:19
Sam
Uh huh. I know that there is a scene that it looks very, very similar to that straight out of the comics where he's in a a car, very similar. And I think it actually has the same license plate as what it does in the car. But that's one of the more recent ones that I actually haven't read I've just seen that online.
00:45:17:03 - 00:45:29:23
Sam
I think it's really interesting that they have it as a limo, and Jake isn't driving a taxi, but I'm not sure where the rest of the connections would be with that.
00:45:30:19 - 00:45:40:05
Derrick
So and it's interesting, though, you know, he's in England or someplace in Europe or in some places in England because he's on the right side of the car driving.
00:45:41:12 - 00:45:44:08
Kate
Oh, I did not pick that up. Yeah.
00:45:44:23 - 00:45:51:13
Derrick
And and really, England's about the only place in the world where they typically do that. So it had been in England somewhere.
00:45:51:18 - 00:45:54:23
Sam
Well well, actually, someone has left is OK.
00:45:54:23 - 00:45:54:28
Kate
Yeah.
00:45:55:15 - 00:45:57:15
Derrick
But they weren't in Australia, so. Yeah.
00:45:57:15 - 00:45:58:13
Kate
Or New Zealand.
00:45:58:22 - 00:45:59:22
Pete
But the entire.
00:45:59:25 - 00:46:01:06
Kate
Two places in Africa.
00:46:01:22 - 00:46:05:03
Pete
Almost the entire series takes place either in England or in.
00:46:05:20 - 00:46:06:05
Derrick
Egypt.
00:46:06:06 - 00:46:11:22
Pete
Egypt, Egypt. So it would make sense that it wouldn't be like America or something like that.
00:46:12:06 - 00:46:16:26
Sam
Yeah, I don't know the buildings. Is it, is that Cairo? Because it shows a couple of buildings couldn't tell.
00:46:16:26 - 00:46:29:01
Derrick
I could not tell what. And though it's interesting the name they actually in the reflection they show the name of the asylum is think Awex is the artist who did the original Midnight Comics.
00:46:29:11 - 00:46:32:11
Kate
So it's not it wasn't Arkham. No it wasn't.
00:46:34:04 - 00:46:36:00
Derrick
While they would go a whole DC.
00:46:36:00 - 00:46:40:20
Kate
Cross right now I would have got that. Yeah.
00:46:41:06 - 00:46:58:10
Derrick
Yeah. Yeah. And as since Jake comes out when both Steven and Mark are in trouble, why didn't Jake hop out before Mark was shot? And that's and that's just in point. But why didn't he jump out? Because if he did, we never would have gotten the whole.
00:46:59:21 - 00:46:59:27
Kate
Fucking.
00:46:59:29 - 00:47:02:20
Derrick
Plane in the sacrifice thing and all that. I mean, it was we.
00:47:02:27 - 00:47:09:08
Kate
We needed to have it as an end credits scene because that's just a Marvel thing. That's Marvel. Yeah.
00:47:10:26 - 00:47:21:09
Derrick
Okay, so, Mike, I'm going to go to you on this one to start. Where do we see Moon Night next? I think there's an obvious answer, but what do you think?
00:47:21:24 - 00:47:50:21
Sam
Well, I think the obvious answer is the Halloween special, because that is going to be werewolf by night. And that's where Moon Night originally shows up, and there's some great storylines between the two of them. So I think that would be the most obvious place. I think they are also building a number of characters that are the Midnight Suns, and I would love to see that group come together, though I don't think that we're going to see Layla in that kind of a realm.
00:47:51:27 - 00:48:05:28
Sam
So I think Moon Night is going to be Yeah, Werewolf by Night in the Halloween special and hopefully with the Midnight Suns and they've hinted at that, but I haven't seen anything officially announced with that, so that would be my guess. Derek, what do you think?
00:48:06:28 - 00:48:14:26
Derrick
I think you're right. I think at least the start is this Halloween special, which I think is actually supposed to come out. Is it this Halloween or next Halloween?
00:48:14:26 - 00:48:15:28
Pete
I think it's this Halloween.
00:48:15:28 - 00:48:44:00
Derrick
Yes, this Halloween which will feature Moon Werewolf by night. That's been confirmed. I would like to see him. It's really interesting because the original love interest for Moon Night was supposed to be echo from Hawk-Eye. So because Work.and. Well, and that's OK. I will say that's kind of the reaction that the directors had, too, because they knew Marvel liked the character.
00:48:44:12 - 00:48:51:26
Derrick
And when they thought she was in Hawk-Eye, they kind of went, oh, thank goodness. And so they didn't have to include her. So but I think.
00:48:52:01 - 00:48:53:04
Kate
Her echo is.
00:48:53:09 - 00:48:55:06
Derrick
OK, I thought was the death.
00:48:55:16 - 00:48:57:16
Kate
She's a death from the.
00:48:58:06 - 00:48:58:24
Derrick
Good guy in Hong.
00:48:58:24 - 00:49:00:11
Kate
Kong Mafia. Got it.
00:49:01:28 - 00:49:25:13
Derrick
So I think I think there's an opening there. I think though, if we see Moon, I will be incredibly disappointed if we don't also see Scarlet Scarab, because I think they upset her, especially because they said the line, are you an Egyptian superhero? So she says, yes, I am. So that is setting up or either her own series or along those lines.
00:49:26:12 - 00:49:28:15
Derrick
Kate, any other thoughts any thoughts differently?
00:49:29:04 - 00:49:36:14
Kate
No, I have no idea where he's going to come next, but I hope it's on the moon. You're welcome.
00:49:36:14 - 00:49:40:07
Sam
Head is that and you'll be over the moon about that egg comment.
00:49:40:08 - 00:50:04:29
Kate
And Kate does not look like she's into this. No, I'm very, very into it. I just I hashtag how Kate. I just missed so much, even though I was paying attention watching this, I don't know why so much went over my head and I need to go back and rewatch it because I'm just listening to you all. And I'm like, OK, great.
00:50:05:15 - 00:50:07:21
Kate
But I will we will see him again.
00:50:10:06 - 00:50:23:27
Kate
It will. Yeah, we'll see him again. And I hope that he does make an appearance in the movies. Like, I hope that he slides into the movies, but that's what I think yeah.
00:50:23:27 - 00:50:45:24
Pete
This is a this is a tough one for me because I don't know that much about the history of Moonlight or anything like that. So, yeah, I mean, we could see him in the werewolf by night series, the show. I think that's just going to be like a one hour special, though, or something. You just or, and or also maybe Blade I don't know, could show up in Blade.
00:50:46:04 - 00:50:55:11
Pete
And why is he called Werewolf by Night? Aren't all werewolves by night? Like, that's kind of part of the requirement, right? Like Werewolf by day would be a weird thing.
00:50:55:12 - 00:50:59:09
Kate
Yeah. I don't know. All I know about Werewolf, I learned from Harry Potter.
00:51:00:02 - 00:51:03:14
Derrick
That that werewolf my days, Michael J. Fox, that's a totally different thing.
00:51:03:19 - 00:51:05:02
Kate
Oh, Ray.
00:51:05:11 - 00:51:06:05
Pete
Mr. By.
00:51:06:05 - 00:51:35:14
Kate
Dana Wolf. That's Teen Wolf. Not werewolf, though. Yeah. OK, so I'm in kind of the same campus p and that I don't know a lot of the background and haven't done any sort of research on even werewolf by night or any of the other series that are coming out. But I think the more interesting question than where are we going to see mu night next is where are we going to see Scarlet Scarab next and I am hoping that we're going to see her in Thor.
00:51:35:14 - 00:51:53:00
Kate
I have no idea. I don't think to, but I just want to and I want to see her. I want to see more of her like as soon as possible and with and with Kara because I love her and her voice. So yeah, I honestly don't know, but I just I want to see her soon.
00:51:53:20 - 00:52:06:06
Sam
We do have a hint at where she might show up and it's in a different movie and it's with Black Panther and especially because Tower has Tower, it has already said she loves that realm.
00:52:06:17 - 00:52:08:02
Derrick
The whole plane.
00:52:08:11 - 00:52:09:09
Kate
And. Right.
00:52:09:21 - 00:52:24:21
Sam
Egypt is part of Africa. So it makes sense that we have two African superheroes joining together. It just makes sense for them to go together with that. And tolerance already sort of hinted at that. So I'm like, Oh, that's where I want us to see her.
00:52:24:22 - 00:52:25:07
Pete
That would be I.
00:52:25:07 - 00:52:29:21
Kate
Can see like we are not worthy of your presence. And I love it.
00:52:30:03 - 00:52:36:26
Pete
And it actually kind of shocks me that we have a what kind of forever is coming out this year, folks, right?
00:52:36:26 - 00:52:37:06
Derrick
Yeah.
00:52:37:06 - 00:52:46:04
Pete
I mean, it's, it's, it's less than six months away and there's no hints at what's going on in that movie. So, yeah, she totally could be in it. Right?
00:52:46:23 - 00:52:56:08
Derrick
And so as we do, we are going to rate this for pixie number two cups of pixie dust. We're going to go the entire season.
00:52:57:16 - 00:52:58:29
Kate
Kate three.
00:53:01:09 - 00:53:04:20
Derrick
Right I.
00:53:06:15 - 00:53:27:27
Pete
You know, I'm realizing I probably gave Loki too high a rating because I gave Loki a five. And I actually like the series better. I think but I'm going to give this one a 4.5 because I didn't love this last episode as much as I did the first five. So I'm going to give it a 4.5. I'm definitely going rewatch it at some point, Sam.
00:53:28:12 - 00:53:57:17
Kate
I'm going to give it a three. I thought the season started out kind of weak, and then I loved when we hit the asylum. I was all about it, so I have to give it a balance. And I, you know, there are some holes in this last episode that bothered me so solid. Three, I would have rewatch it, but I didn't like it as much as the other Disney plus Marvel live action TV series that we saw.
00:53:58:15 - 00:54:22:06
Sam
Micah Well, I kind of agree with Pete with a 4.5. I think this is my favorite of all of the Marvel shows and all of the Marvel movies. I absolutely loved this and the way that they played it and a lot of the hints. I do think this last one, and that's why I wouldn't do a five, is they they missed so much that they could have done in this rush, this one.
00:54:22:24 - 00:54:27:12
Sam
It was just too, too quick. So 4.5 for me. But I'm a marvel loving person.
00:54:27:12 - 00:54:47:28
Derrick
So Derek and I am not a marvel loving person. And I'm going to go with 3.5. I enjoyed this. I will go back and watch this again at some point, especially if he shows up again. I will watch this season again. I love the dissociative identity disorder angle. I loved all the different Easter eggs that called back like that.
00:54:47:29 - 00:55:06:29
Derrick
The one in the first episode about you know, rejected from the field or reads that goes to episode five. I love that kind of stuff. That's part of the reason I loved Wanda Vision so much. So for me, a solid and I almost gave it a four, but I couldn't quite. It's based on what I remembered.
00:55:06:29 - 00:55:09:27
Kate
It was Marvel, and you really did not believe.
00:55:10:24 - 00:55:37:14
Derrick
What I read three and a half that. I mean, this is this is tied for my highest Marvel rating. So I really enjoyed this a big says it's the three Steves in a 43 says up to because Oscar Isaac crushed it OK genius as a three has definite rewatch ability so I think we all enjoyed the series which we don't always say.
00:55:38:03 - 00:55:57:18
Pete
It and I do want to make one more comment on it. I, I love the inner connectiveness of Marvel but it was actually nice having a series that wasn't so connected. Like every series does not have to be continuously part of the bigger universe, you know.
00:55:57:20 - 00:55:59:21
Derrick
You and I think that's why I liked it.
00:55:59:21 - 00:56:29:07
Pete
No, I know, but like it's like let's, you know, it's OK to have a character breathe on its own. And one of the things I kind of liked about Eternals sort of was that, I mean, the movie wasn't good but it was also something that was more standalone than, than other things. And, you know, there's nothing wrong with having a standalone story and then later bringing the character in as opposed to, you know, most of the series so far.
00:56:29:07 - 00:56:35:13
Pete
Right. I mean, one division had a little bit of standalone to it, but still in the end it really wrapped into the bigger picture.
00:56:35:21 - 00:56:47:01
Derrick
Yes. But I didn't but I had never I had not seen an endgame or any of those. And I really and I got everything that was as long as you knew that vision was supposed to be dead.
00:56:47:10 - 00:56:53:27
Kate
Yeah, but you realize it. But its ties into a larger story. Yeah. Yeah. But you're right. You didn't have to know a lot.
00:56:53:28 - 00:56:54:28
Derrick
You didn't have to know that.
00:56:55:04 - 00:57:16:08
Kate
Right. Right. But for Pete's point is that it's part of the, you know, it's part of the universe. Meaning, like, it's really like the story is going to connect to other stories, meaning to other movies and other TV series. This one really doesn't have to. I mean, it can they left it open so it can, but it really doesn't have to really be its own universe if they want.
00:57:16:20 - 00:57:35:00
Kate
The only thing that always bothers me and this is the case with every Marvel movie and series where you've got sort of a focus being on one or one or two characters is how come like The Avengers don't show up to help defeat it. Like, you know, anyway, I'll, I'll set that aside but that always happens. I can agree with you on that, though.
00:57:35:00 - 00:57:54:24
Kate
As someone who is watching through the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, complete with television shows, there are times where I'm like, Yo, where are you at Thor? Where are you directly? Where are you doing so for? Might be hard because Thor might be on a different world, but at least the ones that are like on where they were. Robert Downey Jr.
00:57:54:27 - 00:58:02:15
Kate
Well, you do that. You can see. Can we see more yet? Daryl Spoiler alert.
00:58:03:10 - 00:58:04:07
Derrick
Spoiler filled. Yeah.
00:58:05:07 - 00:58:09:01
Kate
I love you. 3000 feet you reached out.
00:58:09:14 - 00:58:26:02
Pete
Can I just say one thing? That that last scene, the last battle there probably only lasted like 20 minutes, so maybe The Avengers were on their way and they just didn't have time to get there because I'm always kind of annoyed when shows are like, oh yeah, these people from these people that live 3000 miles away show up in an hour.
00:58:26:12 - 00:58:34:20
Pete
You know, so let's let's let's say they they were on their way. They could have just had them show up at the end and go, Oh, it's already taken care of. OK, well, bye.
00:58:35:16 - 00:59:02:22
Derrick
Yeah, fair enough. OK, next week we are actually not going to be doing a live show, but we're going to be doing a best of Plus Platoon, you know, all of these things like Confused Kate and the He's on the moon. We're going to see where those came from. We're going to have those and I've gone back way back into the archives, and I'm pulling out those clips and those are going to be on next week.
00:59:03:19 - 00:59:22:25
Derrick
In two weeks, we're going to be going to Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers movie. So and guys, I will say from the advertisements for that and the trailers for that, I am so looking forward to this movie because it looks like honestly it looks like a 20, 20 to Roger Rabbit.
00:59:23:07 - 00:59:24:00
Pete
It does. Yeah.
00:59:24:16 - 00:59:28:00
Derrick
In a good way. It has to do it in a very good way.
00:59:28:21 - 00:59:30:05
Kate
So we'll see.
00:59:31:11 - 00:59:54:08
Derrick

01:00:15:18 - 01:00:20:01
Kate
So things like that when we do anything, Marvel, it's fine. Yeah.
01:00:20:29 - 01:00:30:03
Derrick
And I got nothing else going on. Micah So you guys that being said, I'm going to say good night, everyone, and we'll see you alive in two weeks. Bye, guys.
