Back To 97 !! By Rotten Apple Productions
I'm good. Quiet on the set, quiet on the set. Welcome to another episode of the Real Talk Podcast. I'm here with my main man GR. You know we gotta give him a round of applause.
SPEAKER_01Come on. Now we gotta give you a round of applause.
SPEAKER_03Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We're back. You know, we're live, ready to take you guys through where we gotta take y'all through. This week we're gonna be in Restauro. Well, no, no, Resterow, sorry. But we're also gonna go to the 90s. I love the 90s. Let's go. We're gonna talk about some X-Men. We're gonna talk about some X-Men and maybe some more contemporary stuff about the X-Men because we have, you know, some new casting and stuff like that to think about. We have a lot of dope things to talk about. Um, well, first and foremost, the casting crew. Thank you guys for what you're doing. Running up the clips. We got, I think, one new subscriber. Bravo. Like that. Bravo, bravo. Thank you. It's one. One clip. Yeah, you guys at the bar. Yeah, we yeah, but but we appreciate each and every one of you guys. Absolutely. Keep doing what y'all are doing, running it up at the real talk.podcast on IG. And uh the real talk podcast, anywhere podcasts are played, sold, told, retold. That's what we do. We want to provide for you guys every week.
SPEAKER_01GR, what's going on, brother? I'm chilling, man. It's another beautiful day, another beautiful week. Another great episode of House of the Dragon. A lot of stuff coming out, including X-Men 97, which I'm gonna tell you later, but I've already, you know, I didn't catch up on the first four episodes of this new season. Don't worry. I kind of have to go back to the first season and like, you know, reacclimate myself.
SPEAKER_03Oh no, I got you because they just start going crazy. Yo, it's we we'll when we get there, we'll I'll I'll I'll talk. Let's start with that. You want to start? Yeah, let's start in the next one. All right cool so Marvel Land. Yeah, we we back in um we back in the Marvel land. So for me personally, they did a phenomenal job. And I don't want to make it seem like it's only because um because when you make animation, you get a lot more it's easier to create an animated show, in my opinion. Because it's the acting is a lot more difficult to do when I'm not really getting hit with a blast. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like when I'm drawing this stuff, I I the liberties that I get are so much doper. Absolutely, yeah. But not because it's animated, because other shows, uh because um House of Dragon did the same thing. Number one, the recaps are really nice now. Modern shows, when they do that little recap before they they they don't they don't just push you in there. But what House of Dragon did and what X-Men 97 did, they picked up right where they left off. That's what you need to do. Right. There was no weird, like, wait, why are these characters in these places? No, exactly what happened with the asteroid and it was coming, and everybody just disappeared. We start right back there. So, and you know, cable's introduction at the end of uh the first season, we start right back there. Now, I am not the biggest fan, I'm not a hater of it, but I'm not the biggest fan of timey whimey stuff.
SPEAKER_01Sounds like hate, but okay.
SPEAKER_03It's not hate, it's just I think time travel has a skill difficulty that you have to be an elite storyteller. The characters have to be elite, and we have to be invested enough in these characters to pull it off. That's why some shows can't do it. They hit one out of the two or they hit two out of the three, but you to me, you need all three for it to work.
SPEAKER_01I agree, but I think the bigger problem for me at least is that they try to use time travel as a scapegoat out of writing.
SPEAKER_03It's a plot hole. Yeah, I hate that. It's a it's a plot hole plugger. When I have a plot hole, time travel time travel. Oh, a different universe from the future. Yeah, yeah, like that that's an easy like trope that and it goes across all mediums. Like, it's not just comics, it's not just anime, it's not just American fiction. It's literally a part of almost everything you can think of. It's some kind of timey, whimey thing.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03But in X-Men 97's Defense, I think they did a good job. So it's a four uh by the time we're recording, there's only four episodes out. So we pick off right where we left off. Our heroes are transported through time. We don't know why, we don't know how. Um, throughout the episodes, we do figure out why and how. And you know, there's a storyline of no days of future past, which is Bishop, and he's like trying to, you know, save the X-Men because in his timeline, the only one that survived is the only one that ever survived is Wolverine. Because he can survive everything. But so he's trying to save the X-Men of his timeline because you know that's the whole point. So what they did that was dope throughout the four episodes, uh, the X-Men are split in two camps. Half of them went to the future, half of them went to the past. Okay, and then there is a present. So, yeah, because it's one timeline, it's just past, future, present. Still one timeline. Yeah, yeah. So in the present, cable's in the present. Well, adult cable. He came for the case. He came in future. Okay. So adult cable's in the present, and he's uh creating his own group, remaking that so basically it's the X Fac X Facts or something like that. X Force versus the X Factor. Yeah, yeah. That's that's their time. So it's the yeah, it's the government's X-Men versus the the black op pseudo kick ass and take names kind of group.
SPEAKER_01Captain Rack of Civil War.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it's it's just you know, well, it's Marvel. So we just, you know, whatever. No, no dist to Marvel. I'm just saying. No Dist of Marvel. I'm a DC guy, but no dist of Marvel. I'm a big Marvel guy. Yeah, I love Marvel. Yeah, so you got Havoc and Polaris, uh, which I think is one of Magneto's kids. Yes. Um, they're kind of like the domain uh people in X Force. Let's just call them X-Factor. I think they're X Factor.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03You can probably uh double check that for me. I got you. And then Cable's crew is himself, Archangel, Silock, then they recruit um Jubilee and Sunspot. As you remember from the uh prior season, Jubilee and Sunspot have a relationship now because uh Sunspot was hiding the fact that he was a mutant from his family, and she kind of like made him proud to be a mutant. So, you know, that's that's that's their crew.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03You got you got me? You double checking me?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'm double checking right now.
SPEAKER_03It's either I think it's X-Faction versus X Force. I used to have cards, I'm pretty sure it's X Factor. Yeah, I don't I just don't know which one is which. I think X Factor's the government one, which Havoc is on. Yeah, so that's what's going on at the present.
unknownX Factor.
SPEAKER_03X Factor, yep. X Factor is the government? Um is that cables? Because it's two different X groups. Let me verify that. Yeah, that's the problem here. Yeah, I I watched episodes, but you know, they only say their names once or twice. Yeah. We're X Factor, we're X-Force.
SPEAKER_01I think X-Force is the government for sure. Uh no, Wolverine's on that one, so yeah, he wouldn't be with the government.
SPEAKER_03No. Yeah. So then when you go to the past.
SPEAKER_01Yep.
SPEAKER_03Oh, sorry. When you go to the past, I thought you found it. When you go to the past, you have um in ancient Egypt, which is run by the Pharaoh. Um, his name is uh he's Kang. Let me just say that. We don't know he's Kang. Those are I knew it was Kang immediately because I knew he's one of Kang's uh monikers, because you know Kang has a lot of monikers. This is one of his monikers, but his name is like Al Moot something Pharaoh. That was the one who has legs cut off from the pharaoh joint in the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that guy is the the big bad of the past. Okay, but we run into a young apocalypse where he when he's not apocalypse yet. His name is like N Saboor, something like that. So, before I continue the synopsis, I always had a problem with Apocalypse as a bad guy. Why? And I'm gonna ask you why. I'm gonna tell you why, I'm sorry. I'm gonna ask you a question. You know you're not supposed to answer a question with a question, but I'm gonna answer a question with a question. Listen. What are apocalypse's powers?
SPEAKER_01Huh?
SPEAKER_03What are Apocalypse's powers?
SPEAKER_01Um, anything and everything.
SPEAKER_03That is I'm telling you, so to me, Thanos is a character that's very similar in that regard, where his power is just whatever the plot needs. Exactly. But there's always an explanation for Thanos' powers and abilities. I don't get that with Apocalypse. With Apocalypse is when we meet him in the show, and we've throughout the X-Men, he's the big bad of X-Men. That's their Thanos.
SPEAKER_01I feel like they're styling him as like a demi-god or a guy.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, no, but so he's the first mutant. That's his first thing. He's the first mutant. So in his time, he's a slave in uh in the pharaoh's kingdom, and all the slaves don't like him because he looks different. He got big lips? Of course he got big lips. Um, and he's also pale, and he has some weird powers. He's albino. He's yeah, he's both. Yeah. So the lookism of him is weird, and then the fact that he also has powers, yeah. And he's a strong slave, so the pharaohs are, oh yeah, we like him. And then he he starts a revolt. Now, our our heroes, Magneto is part of the crew in the past, because he got teleported with them during the meteorite thing. Yep. So it's Magneto, Professor X, uh Hank McCoy, which is Beast, um, Nightcrawler, Rogue. I think that's the that's the crew that got sent back. It's a good crew. So they're that's the past crew. So Magneto, as Magneto is, and you know, uh GR hates this, but he's the um Malcolm X of the mutants. He's like, nah. We have cause they're all like, yo, we could pack up apocalypse right now. He's this before he's apocalypse. He's still a mutant, he has his powers, but he doesn't have he doesn't, he's not apocalypse yet. Yeah, yeah. So they're all kind of like, A, objective, let's get out of here. We gotta get back to our timeline. But some of them are like, yo, we can just finish this guy right now. He's like, nah. He's a brother, he's one of us. But what I'm gonna do is, and this is where the Tiny Wing shit comes in, I'm gonna make him not into apocalypse, but he's gonna be the first of us, Charles. He's gonna be the first mutant for mutants. Because the whole thing is from the mutant's inception, they were attacked and pushed to the side because we're different.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So Magneto's whole thing is well, we're the evolution of humanity, where our Professor X is more of, hey, let's show humanity that we are not only humans as well, like we're all on the same race or species per se, but we we are helpful. That was the whole point of the X-Men. It's like we're also gonna hear to help everybody, not just our just mutants. And you know, that's their whole So they actually agree on the fact that Um Apocalypse, before he becomes Apocalypse, could actually usher in the X-Men before we even get here. Right. So if he starts the X-Men from ancient Egypt, by the time we come around in the timeline, life will be great. Exactly. Genosha wouldn't have happened.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So, but again, Magneto kind of did this on his own. He didn't really speak to nobody. He he comes to um, he presents himself like I'm a prophet. That's why I'm dressed in his coat. That's why I just showed up out of nowhere in ancient Egypt. I'm a prophet. While the rest of them are like back, like trying to jerry rig the stuff to bring them back to the the present timeline. Yeah. So that's what's happening in the past. In the present. Got that down? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So the future is Auroro. Um talking about Storm?
SPEAKER_03Storm, yeah. I'm trying to be, you know, I gotta show people I'm not a LARP. But they're gonna think I'm a LARP.
SPEAKER_01You're LARPing by calling Auroro.
SPEAKER_03I don't think so. Aurora? Aurora, that's her name. She's after here. She's Kenyan, I think. Um Storm, uh, Gene Grey, Cyclops, and um Young Cable, they run into him when he's when he's a teen.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And what's the guy that Storm was sleeping with? The the Indian nigga. I don't remember. You know his name, bro. Forge. Forge. Forge. Oh, yeah, forge, yeah. Yeah, and then Forge ends up in the in the future. What's going on? Nah, Storm beginning around. Uh yeah, that's that's the X-Men. That's that's that's Marvel in general. You're right, but LDN. Yeah, yeah. So yeah. Yeah, that's that's the future. They're they're in there in the future, which their future is where you know cable comes from. Yeah. Where the X-Men, you know, are gone. So they run into a lady who's like a prophet, and she's like, Yeah, uh, cable is gonna be the one that ends, uh, he beats Apocalypse. Because the future is the way it is, is because of Apocalypse. He's just unstoppable, nobody can beat him. So then we finally get the reveal of who set this whole thing up because they're like, how did we get to the future? Like, we're trying to find out. So the lady, there's like this prophet lady, she has a hood, she's white, she has like a she actually reminds me a lot of um Thula. That's the one with the braid knife. If in uh Yeah. Yeah, she kind of has that same kind of look. So her whole thing is, yo, my power, we're not sure if she's a mutant or not. My power is I can kind of see the timelines. So I sent a group of y'all to the past to take care of him, Apocalypse. I brought some of y'all to the future to maybe y'all can beat him here. Because the world is the way it is because of apocalypse. Some of one of us, one of these groups is gonna stop him. And then the whole prophet of well, the prophetic idea of cable being the strong enough to defeat him is gonna happen in the future, which y'all help. So that's basically how we get there. The the the last episode actually ends, and this is major spoilers. It's not the last episode of the season, just the last episode. Are you ready for it? Of the lat the last episode that came out. Yeah. Sure, why not? Are you you sure? Yeah. This is a spoiler warning. I'm gonna start spoiling stuff. I'm gonna tell you I'm scared. Sorry. You gotta respect that. I give you the option. Alright, go ahead. I can stop right now. Nah, spoiler. You sure? Yeah. Yeah, this is a spoiler. Just fast forward if you do not want this. Well, you should be caught up. Because I mean, the episode's been out. This is true. So I know you just cut your eye at me. I did it. I didn't cut it. You cut your eye at me, son. Alright, it's okay. I'm on the route. Go ahead. I was making sure everything was so. Um they uh in the past, they fixed uh Bishop shows up. Because his Bishop's whole thing is I need to get everybody back to their original timeline. Yeah. Because Bishop, part of his power is the time shit. He has he controls time? Not can he just can do. I don't know, they never explain it. But he is one of the few mutants that time matters to him. So he has an ability. I don't know what his powers are, but time is a part of his powers.
SPEAKER_01I used to know this.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but you know, maybe you are a larker. But anyway, I'm gonna bring my car. You ain't watched the episode. But anyway, anyway, he's so he goes to the past and he has the gauntlets to bring them back to their original timeline. Right. And Magneto is like, nah, bro, I can still do this. I can still save Apocalypse from becoming Apocalypse. At the same time that Kang is like, yeah, this is the timeline I want to conquer. All I gotta do is get rid of Apocalypse. So Kang speaks to uh Professor X, like they have like a brain conversation, and he's like, yo, I got the power to take y'all to the back to your timeline. I have it here. Um, but I need your help basically to get it from a celestial. So I don't know if you remember the movie. Um what's the Marvel movie that everybody hated? Uh Rob Stark was in it, Jon Snow was in it, and the Stinger. Um what's the name of it? The Eternals.
SPEAKER_01Eternals, yeah.
SPEAKER_03So remember the Eternals were created by these celestial things, and like at the end of it, one of them was like in the ocean, and for like mad Marvel movies, nobody addressed it until the until the um the uh the black Captain America movie, they finally addressed it then. Yeah. Yeah, so one of those things, I think the one in this story's name is Isam. Isam is actually the one that's calling Apocalypse to him to turn him into Apocalypse. So at the same time, Kang is like, yo, I want that power, and y'all can get it for me. Right. So basically, it's like a quid pro quo thing. I'll get y'all back to y'all timeline. Y'all get that power from y'all get the power from me, and apocalypse doesn't get it. And then Professor X is like, I don't trust you, Kang. I know about you. So no, deals off. I think it was a mistake. That was a big mistake. I think it was a mistake. I think you don't let Apocalypse become apocalypse, and you take care of Kang later. But that's just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Kang is even more devastating than Apocalypse.
SPEAKER_01He absolutely is, but Kang is more judicial. He can have a conversation with him.
SPEAKER_03Cool. So they don't go with that plan. They go with the plan of we're gonna get this power to leave, but we're also Magneto's still hellbent on nah, I think Apocalypse can be redeemed because he's a mutant, he's one of us, he is the first mutant. Alright. They get to this the celestial place immediately the celestial has like these like hieroglyphics as we're going with the Egyptian theme. And uh Apocalypse, well, baby Apocalypse walks in and he's looking on the walls, he's like, hold on. That's me. And that's y'all fighting me. Yep. So wait, this whole time, you guys weren't trying to help me. You guys are trying to stop me from getting to my destiny.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And he knows doesn't even know what to say at this point. Professor X tries to do his talk no jutsu. He's like, yo, bro, trust me, you don't gotta be evil. Like, we can do this together. He's like, I'm gonna stop you right there. He's like, I'm gonna I wanna be evil. Like, he doesn't say it in those words, but he's like, nah, this is my destiny. And you said he did the you know, the dad, I learned from you thing. He flipped it on him. He's like, but you said I get to choose my destiny. And I'm choosing to be this thing. I wanna be this. I wanna be this, and now his whole so the way the timing whime me thing works is I feel like if the X-Men did not get involved in the Kang versus Apocalypse thing, none of this happened. That's how that's what it is. That's that's I am inevitable. It's gonna happen. It's what's gonna happen. Yeah, it's just a like if they just chose to sit out and just went back, because they had the opportunity, because um Hank fixed it, but Magneto broke it because he was just like, nah, we still can redeem this guy. Right. And by redeeming him, they actually fast-forwarded him into becoming, or this is what was supposed to happen to begin with. Because what makes Apocalypse Apocalypse is this celestial gives him this that's when he gets the suit. So he gets this gigantic suit. It like the suit gives him powers to make himself morph in size, or he makes himself twice the size. It gives him like these gauntlets that can turn into any weapon. Yeah. So uh Bishop does his thing. He's like, yo, we out of here. This guy's too powerful, nobody can beat him. He just he beats all the X-Men by himself. Rogue, all of them. Baby. No, no, no. One he gets the power. Oh, it's a big thing. They try to stop him. They try to stop him, but he gets it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So now he's apocalypse. Apocalypse is here. This is the apocalypse.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And he's just kicking all their asses. And then uh Bishop is like, yo, I fixed it, I can save y'all. And they all dip, but Magneto does the thing that he consistently has done in this X-Men 97 universe, which is nah, bro. I'm gonna I'm gonna save mutants. So he lets them go, and then Professor X does what and this is my problem with Professor X.
SPEAKER_00I think he's whack. He's a liability. He is a liability.
SPEAKER_03He doesn't you see the thing is he's not Gene Gray. He can't read your mind and throw shit. He can only no, he can literally only read your mind. That's his power. That's not true. He does not have telekinesis. He can't lift himself up and float.
SPEAKER_01No. Like he does all the time. The chair does that. That's crazy. Nah, they they nerfed him. He don't have telekinesis. They nerfed him. He used to be wild powerful.
SPEAKER_03All he can do is go into your mind and destroy your mind. Like, I remember when he hit Magneto with the um the Holocaust beam. He can do shit like that. Like he can like plant memories, he can put people there that are not really in the room. He can do all that cool shit. That's mad powerful. It is, but it's like when niggas know that that's your power, it's kind of we've seen the car trick, dog. Yeah. I'm not falling for this. You know what I'm saying? And on top of that, when you're when he's fighting other people that have teleconnect abilities, because apocalypse has every power.
SPEAKER_01He gets beat.
SPEAKER_03He gets beat because I can also I can do the thing you're doing and I can punch you in the face.
SPEAKER_01It might be the the kill manga versus T'Challa thing where the people he's people he's fighting are like, I'm trying to kill you. And he's like, nah, I'm trying to save you.
SPEAKER_03That might be why. Maybe that's why.
SPEAKER_01He don't want to violate you, which is the problem.
SPEAKER_03Maybe. I'll give you that. I'll give you that pass for now because I'm ex- I'm this despoiled. Professor X is nasty, bro. That nigga's trash in X-Men 97. So they're all leaving, right? Magneto decides to stay. He pushes them in because he has, you know, the power to do that. And then Charles grabs him. So now them two stay to fight Apocalypse. Just them two. What I thought they was gonna do was bring Onslaught. You know, that character that's like the amalgamation of the both of them.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03But nah. He just packed both of them. Apocalypse, literally. As as Professor X is on his belly, because he's always on his belly after they destroy his uh his chair. He's on his belly. Hit him with him with the No! He picks up Magneto. After Magneto stops uh a black hole from destroying um the whole of ancient Egypt. Because that's uh what's his name? Um Apocalypse. Uh he sends like a black hole to Kang, the the Pharaoh. Because he's like, nah, the first nigga I'm packing up with my new powers is the pharaoh. Yeah. Because he's I was a slave. And you know what Kang does? He gets in his time machine. He's like, I'm out. I swear, I swear. He finally puts the cat because the whole time he's he don't got the blue, he gets in a time machine, he puts on the purple shit. Nah. And then one of his minions, who's a woman, she's like, Where are you going? He's just like, only time will tell. And then he dips. Because you know he gotta do a time. He dips, he dips. He saw the black hole coming.
SPEAKER_02It's not him, but it's him? No, of course not.
SPEAKER_03But it is him.
SPEAKER_02It is him.
SPEAKER_01When she found out that he was king, he was like, Yeah, it's me. Alright, I'm out of here.
SPEAKER_03I'm out of here. Yeah, and she's there, the black hole is there. He's like, Oh, he basically says, This timeline is cooked. Because he's like, Yeah, he's like, Apocalypse is there. What the fuck I'm about to do? So he leaves, right? So the whole place is getting destroyed by uh um a black hole. Yeah, and uh Magneto stops it, uses all his powers, he stops it, and then Apocalypse jumps down from the ship. Uh this dude's on his belly. He holds him up by his um his helmet. You gotta stop disrespecting Professor X. They did it. He puts a gun to his back and he literally vaporizes Magneto. He dies. Killed him. Dies, turns him into Ash. And then he says the coldest shit ever. Almost that. To um to Professor X while he's walking to him. I'm gonna misquote it, but I'm gonna I'm gonna do it my way. He basically says it's not impressive to kill ants. And while he has his boot on this nigga's face, because he can't punch or kick or move things with his mind, he can only read people's minds. So he he there's nothing he can do. And he just he didn't kill him. He just walked by him. But he put had his boot on his face. Comparing him to an ant, he just walked to ancient Egypt. And then um I think I think yeah, that's where it ends.
SPEAKER_01Okay. I'm gonna I look forward to seeing it.
SPEAKER_03It's yo, the fights, again, there's a it's easier to animate these things. Yeah, certain things easier just be animated. It's still dope, man. Like watching like the young um apocalypse, like he's fighting like he doesn't, he's he's not using no crazy OP powers because he's just strong. Like his whole thing is I'm just strong. And like he like leads a revolution, and like it's it's dope, and it's especially seeing because in our modern world, we're always like, yo, how did they build the pyramids and all of that stuff? So they kind of answer that question in the X-Men universe. This is just um celestial tech, and Kang was here. Kang was the Pharaoh, so he has the tech, and then he leaves. But all the Kang shit still stays, obviously. This guy King left. Yeah, he literally just like I lost, I'm out. Yeah, it's time last cook. I'm out. I like that. See you later. And he didn't even offer the girl to come into spaceship with him. He's like, Who's this girl? I don't, she's one of the mutants. I just don't know who she is. But she's somebody. He he gave her like some swag, like, hey, you're gonna be something one day. He did tell her that. She lied. She's gonna be uh some character. I don't know who she is. Probably she's um I think I've seen her in one of the old X-Men movies, but she didn't have a name in that movie either. She was you know who played her, funny enough? I think Lenny Kravitz's daughter played her. The girl with the wings. The girl with the wings.
SPEAKER_01Um couldn't tell you. She was like spitting like ass.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01She was that character. Trash. Yeah. She turned evil and she was still trash. Yeah. I forgot the name of the character. I forgot the name of the character who they killed in that movie. Oh, the brother of Darwin. Yeah, his power is. It's supposed to be, he can't die. He's not supposed to die from that.
SPEAKER_03Nothing. He adapts everything. Yeah, that was wild. And then they just killed him with an attack that people have been seeing the whole movie.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. Anyway. Yeah. I'm gonna watch the whole season one again and then go right into that. Um, I'm all for it.
SPEAKER_03Um animation is on point. I was scared because I remember we spoke about the producer of the first one. He got packed.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So there's a new producer, but they to me they picked up right where they left off. The writing is still great. He probably already produced all those episodes and they're just like them out. Cyclops is still Cyclopsing. He hasn't lost his mojo. Cyclops? What's his real name? Uh Scott Summers. Alright. Almost cautious. Yeah, yeah. It's a lot of characters, dog. Making sure you know your things. Yeah, Scott Summers. Um, Gene Gray. Gene Gray, yeah. Cable's Nathan. Okay. I got it, I got it.
SPEAKER_01And Storm is Auroro.
SPEAKER_03I'm telling you, look it up.
SPEAKER_01I know that's her name, but I don't like the way you say it.
SPEAKER_03Auroro. That's her name, Auroro.
SPEAKER_01Aurora.
SPEAKER_03That's it. First of all, white man created that character, right? Listen. They could have named anything. Why not Alicia? What? You say from Africa, right? So? You don't think there's Alicia in Africa? Now there is. Aurita. But that's not the time she was from. So? Nah. Shout out Aurora, man. Aurora, bro. Auroro. Aurora. What was her last name?
SPEAKER_01Something. Storm. That's her name. She's actually um an OP mutant, but they don't they play her a lot.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah. So what they always do, they just write her out. Because she's too so so strong that the fight would just be over.
SPEAKER_01But was it in um I think it was like X-Men 2 where they were like, oh, this is a level one, level four. Oh, Omega level. Omega level.
SPEAKER_03She's a mega level magnetic. Iceman's Omega level. You know who's not? Your man. Don't do this. Don't defend this at the moment. Don't man disrespect him. He's not an omega level mutant. That's fun.
SPEAKER_01Gene Gray is. Gene Grey absolutely is. Listen, man, I I'm not defending him as saying he's this great mutant. I know he's.
SPEAKER_03I thought he was great.
SPEAKER_01Because he's that he's the leader, but he's not really like that. I wouldn't have but the in the context of what his abilities are, he's very dangerous. That nigga's ass without the well, that helps him to expand his power. Yeah. But he needs a mobile one of those. If you gotta fight him and he knows you're a threat, you'll blink and you'll wake up crying butt naked in the corner.
SPEAKER_03I'm not crying because I know this is fake. If he caught me, like if I never knew he existed, then yeah. But you wanna know how powerful a mind is? Yes. But if you know the truth.
SPEAKER_02Or destroy yourself.
SPEAKER_01If you know what's happening, if you don't, hey dog, this is fake. Or if he intensifies it and then I punch him. If he decides to kill you. What if I punch him? If you see it. He's right, he's in a chair. If he he can make your mind not see. What's my power? Alright. What power do you want? Give me the backest power you can do. What's his what's his what's his level? One, two, three, or four, five. Oh, who? I think I think he's an alpha. So he's right below me. Four. Let's go four. So you're a four, too. Give me a couple. You can't pack, bro. I'm killing this dude, bro. No, you're not. I'm telling you. It's not, you don't have all right. Pick your power.
SPEAKER_03Nigga, give me Cyclops power.
SPEAKER_01I'm beating that nigga up. I'm beating him up. Cyclops doesn't even want to be an X-Men. He's an X-Men because X put that.
SPEAKER_03Creating Child Soldiers. I know what this guy's about. Exactly. It's working. Yeah, it is.
SPEAKER_01He got Wolverine to be complicit.
SPEAKER_03So Wolverine, he just needed a daddy. He got Morph now. A lot of niggas need that. You see? Nah, there's not a lot of that going on. Thank God. I haven't seen it. I hope not. Morph is there, though. Doing his morph. You know what I like about Morph's character? What? Which I don't think this is his actual power in the comics. And they could be turning into niggas that he shouldn't be turning into. Like he's fighting. I just see like Thor. I'm like, where the fuck Thor come from? Oh, that's Morph.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. But here's my thing, because with these changelings shapeshifters, when they transform into them, do they just automatically have their level of power? It's impossible.
SPEAKER_03Because then he would just be the greatest. Who would be Thor? I would just turn into Apocalypse. He turned into um an Ingenosha or the Savage Land. I can't remember which one. He turns into a Hulk. Was he the Hulk though? Like was he the same level of power? Hell no. He broke uh he beat like he beat up a sentinel, but he's a Hulk by himself can kill all the Sentinels, you know what I'm saying? Kill all the um mutants. Well, yeah, but yeah, so he did he does but him being a cameo machine is what makes him a dope character for like a show like Oh, okay, okay. So like it was just cool to see the X-Men fighting and then Thor is there. I was like, oh shit, that's dope. And it's classic Thor, you know? But he's not the same level of strength. No, all he did was like break ice with his with the hammer. But he's not Thor. He looks like Thor.
SPEAKER_01Pack him up.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but he there's no weird stuff yet. It's only been for four episodes. But I enjoy it. Episode five, man. So is that fifth episode? Lovecraft country. So five.
SPEAKER_01I was like, I'm out. I got my time machine. Went back to the days before I seen that show. Yeah. But that's Kang, too. Kang, yo, they gotta do something. Whether it's in the movies, they gotta bring Kang, like, bring him to life. Before they, you know, because I know they want to get rid of him for Doom, but can we flesh out this character? Because the level of ability, the level of lore behind him.
SPEAKER_03Nah, Kang is a bad guy for so many um groups in Marvel. That's what makes him dope. That's what I'm saying. Like, Doctor Doom is just pretty much a fantastic for this. They're gonna try to make him-that's not what it was. Not with all that.
SPEAKER_01And I like Doctor Doom, don't get me wrong. I like him a lot. I do too. They like him for um because of Robert Downing Jr. Which again, I think it's cheap, but the only way they're gonna make it work is if he was Iron Man in the game.
SPEAKER_03And again, to your credit, you've been saying this since we started potting. There's too many actors that we keep recycling the same actors. And then when these uh movies go to um into production and like you know, they're we're criticizing how much they sold. We only criticize how much they sold because of how much they cost, and they only cost a lot because you're paying Robert Downey Jr. 50 million dollars for one role. That's the whole budget.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, there's no money, and this is why it's like, oh, it flopped.
SPEAKER_03It didn't flop. Yeah, it didn't flop, it just it was inflated. Exactly. You were paying these guys, and I'm like again, Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor, but there gotta be other guys that could be Doctor Doom.
SPEAKER_01I would have loved to see them remove the Doctor Doom mask and you see um Adam Driver. That would have been cool.
SPEAKER_03Well, speaking of Adam Driver, it's a really good segue there. You're professional, I see what you're doing. I try. So, ladies and gentlemen, allegedly we have our MCU Magneto. Let's go. And it's rumored to be Adam Driver. Round of applause.
SPEAKER_00But everything is critiquable. And I have my critiques.
SPEAKER_03If you're gonna make Adam Driver Magneto, right, that means this Magneto is going to be middle-aged. Who do we do? Wait, what are we talking about right now? Magneto, the character is about to be middle-aged. Like 40, 50 tops. The last one was 50 days ago. Yeah, but that but but welcome me. That was that timeline. So we have an middle-aged Magneto and an allegedly 20-something-year-old Gene Gray. The the the age gap is still there.
SPEAKER_01It's different dimensions and timelines.
SPEAKER_03And this is where I I don't want there to be we already have X-Men 97 animated, I don't want them to make X-Men 97 again, like on the big screen. I I hope that's not the case, but we're here. This is what Marvel did, so Disney did. I just don't want to see, like, alright, I got the the 97 X-Men animated. What are y'all gonna do with a middle-aged Magneto? What's what's his Holocaust gonna be?
SPEAKER_01What do you mean? His uh his background. They're either gonna go back to that time or what they're gonna do with Adam Drivers just his guy's hair white. Okay.
SPEAKER_03Okay, and then like what's like what makes Magneto tick as a 50-year-old man without the Holocaust? Because even with um Michael Fassbender, he was a Holocaust survivor.
SPEAKER_01They're gonna have to go back to that time. That's the only way they could do it. So we're gonna have the X-Men of like where's the where's the modern I'm not in the writer room, but I would suspect that they're gonna find a way to either bring in time or say it's another it's another timeline, okay, or just tell the story from that time again.
SPEAKER_03I don't want that.
SPEAKER_01I don't want that. We got we got a superior actor, in my opinion. Then who?
SPEAKER_03The Michael Fossbinder. Is wait Adam Drivers better? To me, yeah. I don't know if I can say that. Let me oh, you got that Star Wars shit going on. That's your bias. It's not just a Star Wars, that's a bias for sure, but even in that star, he carried that film.
SPEAKER_01That was his last three films. I don't know that from day one you see him on screen. I will show you the dark side. I liked him better with the mask on. Kyler Ren is a cool bad guy. Kyler Ren was phenomenal. Even when he took uh the mask off and they had moments where like what's supposed to be like um some kind of comic relief, he was still like serious, and it it still sold. It was other stuff that made it stupid that like what I'll give you example. He had his shirt off and um and he was talking to uh Ray, and Ray's like, You put a shirt on. Like that made it funny to us, but the context of the situation was like this guy's your immortal enemy, and he's appearing to you and like he's being menacing. But they made it comical with her doing that. Or when it was like more or fire, and then I think the other guy yelled it, whatever it was. That was a comic relief. But the moment his acting, his delivery was I like him. Michael Falls Band is phenomenal, too. Don't get it twisted. That's where me and your guy have a couple. I just I would just maybe I just prefer Adam Driver. Yeah, and I think that he just even he did another film, I think it was Carlotry Hansen, I forgot the name of it. Crushed that role. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_03I liked him in um was it the Black Klansman where he when they play the uh him and uh Denzel Son. Yes, uh John David Washington, I believe.
SPEAKER_01You don't want to talk about that guy, but yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03What's wrong with it?
SPEAKER_01It's just not that good to me.
SPEAKER_03To me. I liked him in uh he got a uh he was in Tenet. That's one of my favorite movies of all time. I forgot about that movie. That's a um that's a Nolan film, bro. So Christopher, well, we need something.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you know what? You're right. I changed my mind.
SPEAKER_03Because Christopher Nolan don't pick whack people.
SPEAKER_01That's true. He's a phenomenal actor. I'm not saying he's not, but I just don't think he's that good. He's not his father, obviously, which is a bro, why? Bonnie James is how it is. What's going on, bro? What do you mean what's going on? Give me another actor that's his father. None of them. So I'm just saying, he's he's been put into a position based on his father's. No, he hasn't. He worked for his shit. Who told you that? Him. He said it. Of course he's gonna say that. That's a big deal.
SPEAKER_03And it's still if he was that good, he'd be a little bit bigger, in my opinion. That is true. He's not as I'm you know, I'll put my thumb on the scale. He should probably be better than what he.
SPEAKER_01But again, not to get away from the main point. Yes. I prefer Adam Driver as Magneto. And I think it's it's based on his his uh portrayal of uh Kylo Wren.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Um, what about if we do that he's a survivor of clone the January 6th? When they stormed the Capitol. What if that's You talking about America?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03What if that's what if that's his background? That he's a survivor of that? Yeah, he worked. How many people died? One, the lady.
SPEAKER_01It could have been him. Wait, which side was he on? Was he like an officer or was he you pick? Choose your own event. That's what they want to go with?
SPEAKER_03I just that's I just need a I need a backstory that makes Magneto tick. And I don't know how to I just don't want them to keep rehashing the same thing. It's the age for me, man.
SPEAKER_01I I don't think he looks as young as you think. You I think you're thinking of him before, but like I could show you a picture of him now. Um He was born in '83, by the way. Yeah, he's not an old guy. But he's not a young, young, young guy. No, no, he's not that young. Like I'm saying, the age gap still works.
SPEAKER_03And he, again, he can he can play that role. I'm not saying he can't. I just think that he should have been Cyclops. Nah. Like I I need an old Magneto and I need an old Professor X. I don't need middle-aged niggas. We already did that movie. We we saw it.
SPEAKER_01And nah, we don't need him to be Cyclops, though. I think he's Magneto. So who is Professor X? He got the flow for it. Who's Professor X? Today?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I need time to think about this. But Esposito. Esposito. Gian Carlos. We making him black now? Somebody gotta be black. Afro Luxito. He would actually crush it. That's what I'm saying. He would actually make a really good um uh Magneto. Magneto? Yeah. Again, it's the Star Wars gives you the Moth Gideon. Yeah, okay. And the way he be talking to people in um The Boys? Yeah. Yeah. Listen, man. So what y'all want to do? I thought um what's his name is gonna be Magneto. Um, there was a black dude they were talking about. Oh no, Denzel. It was Denzel.
SPEAKER_03It's supposed to be Denzel and Juan Carlo. That's supposed to be that.
SPEAKER_01Really?
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_01Professor X. Nah, I don't need I don't want to see that.
SPEAKER_03Alternate Time Line?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. What if a what if story? I don't even want to see it. I don't want to see. Wait, wait, who's Denzel gonna play?
SPEAKER_03Whoever doesn't have an accent. Listen.
SPEAKER_01I was gonna say, I don't want to hear him. We will save the mutant mutant population. I guarantee. I don't want to see that. Nah, Denzel has been lazy lady. That's my guy.
SPEAKER_03He he I think he wants to be in Marvel. Uh Juan Carlos was already in Marvel. He played the bad guy in um the Black Captain America movie. He was like the sideback. Oh, yeah. I think he was like Sidewinder or something. One of those like cash in it check. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01He's cashing checking. He deserves it. You know, he be he's been around for such a long time. I don't know if you remember this movie called Fresh. He was in that. You remember Fresh? Who's the director? Um it's gotta be John Singleton or maybe not Spike. Give me the um the synopsis real fast. Wow. It was about this young boy who grew up in a uh very uh in the hood, you know. Um but John Carlo's character was dating his sister. I think she was sort of a junkie. I don't want to misquote it. It's been a long time since I've seen Fresh. It's a black film. It's a black film. Okay. Uh the main character, he had this girl that he really liked. She got shot at a at a game, a basketball game in a park. This guy was losing, I guess. He went and got a gun back to the game.
SPEAKER_03Yes, I've seen that movie. I just didn't know it was called Fresh. The main character's name is Fresh. Yeah. That's why it's called Fresh. Yes, yes, yeah. I know the movie. I'm glad you know it. I thought you were gonna leave me out on a link. No, no, I know the movie. I know the movie. It's actually a really dark movie. It's very dark. I saw that a child. I'm looking at my parents. Why'd you let me watch this? It's a dark movie. Changed my life. But he's not Afro-Latino, by the way.
SPEAKER_01And school days, he was in that.
SPEAKER_03He's in school days. He's not Afro-Latino, by the way. He's Cuban? Nah, he's um that'll make him Afro-Latino. He's um I think he's Italian. Yeah, I think he's black and Italian. Yeah. He's black and Italian. He's still black. Well, it's not his own Latino part. Alright. Look it up.
SPEAKER_01Nah, I I'm I stand corrected. I'm all for it.
SPEAKER_03You're looking like you don't believe me.
SPEAKER_01I do believe him. He was also in school days.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, school days. Likely. I like that role. He violent. Yeah, he was going crazy.
SPEAKER_01Nah, he was that was amazing. Yeah, nah, that's legends in there, too. No, that's that's a another another possible Magneto or Professor X, Lawrence Fishburne. Too old. You wildin'. Morpheus?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he's too old. Alright. He's in he's in the John Wick universe now. It's over.
SPEAKER_01Does a great job in that shit?
SPEAKER_03I love his role in that. I want a backstory on that character.
SPEAKER_01Nah, he legit could play either one. You know what I'm saying? Like these are the these are the characters, these are the actors, and granted, he's a big actor, but this is what I'm talking about. We're not spreading the wealth in the right direction, that's best for the product. Sometimes like, yo, Michael Fossbender's hot right now, we're using him. Or uh Robert Downer Jr.'s hot right now, we use him. I'm like, yo, dude, there's a guy over there who will crush this role and make it a classic, but I digress. You know me. Who would I prefer him to play though? He can do either one because he's it he's been Morpheus. Professor X. Professor X, right? That's that's him guiding the young Cyclops. You know what I mean? Or whatever mutant. Maybe it even even if it was um uh Wolverine, but either way. Who's Cyclops? Today? Yeah, I like the guy they had for the original X-Men to be honest. The guy from the notebook.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01I I've always thought he did a good job. I just think that he he's missing the X-Men 97 charisma.
SPEAKER_03Nah, that Cyclops is a different guy.
SPEAKER_01I mean, they drew him like that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I've just never seen it. Fire. Yeah, that's that's that's Cyclops.
SPEAKER_01Absolute fire.
SPEAKER_03But I want you, you do you have an actor in mind for him? Nah, that's I'm stuck on Cyclops because I think even though Cyclops is like a joke, like people like make fun of him a lot, he he kind of there's Wolverine, but then there's Cyclops. Cyclops is a big deal with that.
SPEAKER_01He's a big deal. I and that he does less, he does more with less.
SPEAKER_03He does more with less.
SPEAKER_01And that's gotta be counted for something. All I got is an eye beam, and I'm still like going toe-to-toe. People, I'm I can fight hand to hand.
SPEAKER_03Can I get super nerdy with his powers with you real fast?
SPEAKER_01Go ahead.
SPEAKER_03I thought his optical beam was aching to you know heat vision. No. That shit is a punch. It's from the punch dimension. Break this down. It's just a concussive force. But it's the where it comes from, it's a portal. So his eyes are a portal to the punch dimension.
SPEAKER_01Havoc has the same thing, but in his hand.
SPEAKER_03But it's in his hand from the punch dimension.
SPEAKER_01The punch dimension?
SPEAKER_03Yo, it's comic book, bro. Yeah. Look it up. God just be saying stuff.
SPEAKER_01Look it up.
SPEAKER_03A punch dimension. It's a punch damage.
SPEAKER_01It's a concussive force.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it's like it's like getting hit with when it hits you, it's like you're getting punched. The whole thing is a punch. It's a punch. But like, think about like it can kill you. Absolutely. A punch. Like Mike Tyson is punching you, but it's a beam. The highest force. It's force. It's just a concussive blast. That's actually really pretty fire. It's original too. It's like I'm not getting heated up. I'm getting it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you're not burning me.
SPEAKER_03You're kicking my ass.
SPEAKER_01Without touching. Yeah, I'm getting it. I open my eyes and see you, Sarah. I'm gonna knock you out. Boom! What just hit me? That's tough. I didn't know that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I didn't. I had to do the research.
SPEAKER_01I did not know that.
SPEAKER_03I thought it was heat vision, but it's not. It doesn't matter. I like it better. That's it.
SPEAKER_01It just breaks shit. Yeah, it just blows through it.
SPEAKER_03It blows, yeah. It just blows it through it. And yeah, without the visor, he's actually stronger.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it just but he can't control it.
SPEAKER_03He can't control it. He has to close his eyes or whatever. Yeah. All right. Shout out to Cyclops, man. Listen. X-Men 97 did a lot of good PR for Cyclops. Adam Driver. That's Magneto. I love it. You got it, dog. You show us what you can do. I believe in you. I just don't know what the writers are doing. What? I don't know what it is. Show us. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01He's already shown us, yo. Adam Driver. Kylo Wren shit is a good thing. I'm talking about just Kylo Wren. His whole filmography. He's cool. He's cool. Alright. Why is cool a bad word? I didn't say it was a bad word. I'm gonna let you have that. I can't wait for them to come out, and you're gonna be like, this is the most airy killer instinct version of Magneto we've seen. We had old Dusty.
SPEAKER_03Two niggas that he got a leapfrog.
SPEAKER_01He's gonna leapfrog the old dude easily.
SPEAKER_03I don't know if he's the old frog. Just because we're gonna see him young action. But we've seen Fastbender. Fastbender did the knife, kill, grab, kill. That's cute.
SPEAKER_01That's what's up. Remember you said that. That's tough. I've seen it. I like Fossbender. Don't forget. I remember when he first was the guy in 300. I listen, I remember when he first came on the scene. He was great, but he was also almost too astutely polished at times for me. Okay. That's fair. For me. But this is magnetic. But he did a great job.
SPEAKER_03We're talking about.
SPEAKER_01Huh? This is Magneto. Yeah, he's polished, but he's also raw. He shut off the power on the whole planet.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You know what I mean? Like, this is and then you watch the comics, or if you read the comics, he's he does a lot of.
SPEAKER_03Nah, Magneto's uh Omega Level Mutter for a reason.
SPEAKER_01And he will throws hands sometimes too. He's a terrorist. He is. He's a terrorist. Alright, we'll see. We'll see. But I'm I'm in uh I'm in Adam Driver's corner when it comes to this.
SPEAKER_03I'm not not in his corner. I just don't trust the writing. Marvel has a lot of flops, dog. And this is this is looking very floppy.
SPEAKER_01I trust the execution by the actor, the craftsman. All right. And we've seen and for me, we've seen him carry a terrible franchise before. Stop. Portion of a franchise. You telling me that that He did not carry by himself. He had help. Luke Skywalker was there. Brother. He was there. He was there. So what? But he didn't carry anything. He helped. He didn't carry anything. Nah, I think Kyle.
SPEAKER_03When he froze that that uh that bolt, that shit was fire. We've never seen that before. And he did it without like that's not really Adam Driver. That's the writing. He he's not actually freezing the beam. To me, he was. That's how good he was. Alright. I told you with the mask on, he was fired. I like the way he walked too. Pause. Very menacing. There's no pause for that. But it is a pause, man. I'm from New York, bro. You cannot leave, you can leave from this pod and see a guy in the street. Do it.
SPEAKER_01Yo, you got swagger and you walk.
SPEAKER_03Nah, that's not what I said though.
SPEAKER_01Well, why'd you say it like that? Because I'm talking about movies. Alright. Well, Denzel has a very distinct walk too, that's very admirable. So that's cool.
SPEAKER_03Does it have an accent?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it has an accent. He's definitely some New York. So he can do that.
SPEAKER_03He's from New York.
SPEAKER_01Um, like upstate-ish. No, that counts. I'm taking it Mount Vernon, I think. I'm taking yep. His father's a pastor, too. That's lit, man. Shout out. Yeah, he's new. Shout out to New York. People, yo, New York is it. Yeah. But um, what was I gonna say? Yeah, and then also in um Star Wars. Again, like, listen, man, even when he took the mask off, you got to see him actually acting. That's the only thing you remember.
SPEAKER_03It was good though. I'm not I know people make fun of it, but he did it well.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. He showed his he started to cry anyway.
SPEAKER_03And he did the thrag shit before Thrag.
SPEAKER_01Which part?
SPEAKER_03He was obsessed with um the broken um Oh, the mask of uh Vader.
SPEAKER_01Vader.
SPEAKER_03I like I like that.
SPEAKER_01I'm not hating on I Okay. I'm not saying you are, I'm just saying, like, we've seen him. The writing can be bad because we know for a fact that those last three episodes of Star Wars were horrible. Three different directors, three different writers, three different ideas, three different directions, and he consistently was playing his part and still bringing excellence to the table. Serving up excellence. That's why we still talk about Adam Driver today. That's the word excellence is what I got a problem with. Why?
SPEAKER_03I don't know if I'm going that far. I let me rewatch it. Can I can I at least have it?
SPEAKER_01I don't have to like even debate it because I know what I saw. I know you're gonna be like, yo, this guy was actually really.
SPEAKER_03And you know, I'll I'll tell it. I'll tell the truth.
SPEAKER_01The guy who played uh Finn, which is um I used to know my homeboy's name by heart. Um and uh Oscar Isaacs.
SPEAKER_03Oscar Isaacs, that's that's another one.
SPEAKER_01He needs another one. Those three guys. He's a Marvel. John Boylega, that's his name. John Boylega, yeah. They carried Star Wars and they flopped on all three of those characters. Oscar Isaac is just this wild thing. Didn't they make him a homo? They wanted to. Him and Finn were supposed to have a little kiss, and I guess they were both about it. But the directors are then they tried to force Finn in that the uh the Asian girl roles, I believe, and that was forced and out of nowhere. It just got weird. And that's how I know, like it was just horrible writing, but great.
SPEAKER_03Too many chefs in the kitchen kind of thing.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, remember, they went from Ryan, no, they went from uh what's my guy's name? Great director, but they went from him to Ryan Wilson or Will, whatever his last name is, and it went back to the other guy, so he had to clean up the first two movies that were incoherent.
SPEAKER_03It's hard to recon shit that you didn't write. Yeah, it's easy to recon your own stuff.
SPEAKER_01Somebody else did it. It's the worst thing in the world. You have to come in and like fix someone else's mess. That's a house of cards. Exactly. And then also um the whole layer thing, too. It's a lot of just stuff they were doing.
SPEAKER_03You didn't like that?
SPEAKER_01The her going through the no, because they they try to stuff in that she's this powerful Jedi now, and it's like you gotta have to.
SPEAKER_03How did become a Jedi at 70?
SPEAKER_01What? They tried to do a little callback where she's like cooking Luke. I'm like, nah, y'all then, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. But hold on, in the case.
SPEAKER_03Luke beat Darth Vader.
SPEAKER_01When they were born, she has potential, she's powerful.
SPEAKER_03Did they mention that? That the both of the twins.
SPEAKER_01So she could sense that like Luke is alive and stuff like that, but she was never properly trained. Luke was trained by Yoda, and then he started training with his sister, and she just started being better now. Yeah, that's bad. And now she's in space and just dragging herself.
SPEAKER_03That spaceship was crazy.
SPEAKER_01That was wild. She should have died right there. Woman Empowerment.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Marvel got a lot of that shit too. That's fun. All right. Make it make sense. Let's go to the woman empowerment show. Let's go to Westeros. Let's go. We did the woman in power. I'm all for it. We have the fourth episode. Um, GR, you want to give us a little recap?
SPEAKER_01Um I'm not doing a recap today, bro. I'm kind of, I have a lot to say about this episode. Let me let me uh let me just take us through it a little bit. Every time you give a little space, I'm gonna jump in.
SPEAKER_03Ah, please, please. I'm gonna need your assistance. So, for those of y'all out there, the other podcasts be cheating. They have a whole write-up that they do. Me and GR have been doing this off of memory. So anytime we miss up, anytime we we we put scenes out of order, it's because we're doing this off top. And I'm gonna try to do it again today, but this is my last time doing this off top. From moving forward, I'm gonna write pre-write a synopsis. Yeah, just do a little blur. A little blur. These guys doing it. Yeah. Alright, so what happened in this episode? What was the opening? Did we start in um Tumbleton? That's where we started? Trying to remember where it started. Anyways, uh Tumbleton is being overran by the High Tower forces, led by Ormond, I believe his name is. He's now the leader of the High Tower. Yeah, and he's Otto's little brother. He yeah, he's he's I think he's Otto's little brother. Um he's just, you know, he's commanding a force, very powerful force, it seems. Um 15,000 straw. Yeah. He has a dragon. What's the name of this dragon?
SPEAKER_01Who has a dragon? Their team. Oh, Tessarian. That's Darren, Daron's dragon. One ain't got no dragon. He hates dragons.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so this guy. He he showed the so there's a scene where uh they're doing that quartering thing that we uh we have in our constitution. We you can't do that no more in America, but you could have before. So crazy work. Uh an army can come into your city, town, and they can just take over your quarters because it's the army. Yeah, we need we need we need a space. That is a wild thing to have happened. It used to happen here in America.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So we have a constitution for that. So it goes bad as it's gonna go bad anywhere, where this guy gets a little handsy with isn't that Olf's wife? That's Olf's wife. Ulf's wife. No, not olf. Hugh's wife. Hugh's wife, my bad. Which is even crazier. So keep that in mind. Yeah, it's gonna be bad from Renee. I already know what it's doing. This whole thing's about to be bad from an air. I feel bad for her. So, yeah, he tries to get handsy with her. Um, I guess the cousin or brother, he intervenes. Her brother, yeah. The guy packs him up, breaks the wife's arm. They present it to this Orman dude, and he's trying to teach Daron how to be a leader. And at first I was kind of confused, like, Daron's never gonna lead anything. Why does he have to learn how to be a leader? But the show does a very subtle way of telling us why. So he shows him how to show us, you know, he's a leader. This is how you lead. Um, you're gonna get gilded. I had to look that up. You know what that is. I forgot what it was I I didn't I tell the people. I didn't know what it was. I knew what it was, but I had to like make sure. He's essentially gonna be castrated. Because when the guy said I had a wife, I was like, what does that have to do with you being guilty?
SPEAKER_01I heard gilded. He said it mad casually.
SPEAKER_03I was like, Yeah, you just you're gonna break your arm, we're gonna guild you. The breaking the arm part made sense because a nine for an eye. You broke the lady's arm, break your arm. I would have broke both, because you know it's a lady. But nah, we're gonna break your arm and we're gonna guild you. That was a little bit too far. How'd you feel about that?
SPEAKER_01About the gilding?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Nah, he deserves that. Nah, come on, bro.
SPEAKER_01You can't be listen, listen, listen. I know I sometimes I push back on the whole like women empowerment thing. I say raping. He didn't do that. He attempted to. Okay. If the sit if his if um the sister-in-law and the brother didn't jump in, he was gonna rape her right there in front of everybody. You're right, you're right. In front of the kids. There was a boy in there.
SPEAKER_03I'm wrong.
SPEAKER_01Nah, Geldum.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, Geldum. He's right.
SPEAKER_01That's gonna be an example of everyone else. Chill with all that rapey stuff. I'm not, I'm never going for that. You wild.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he's right, he's right. I'm wrong. Try to defend rape. Look at me. Yeah, I didn't say that.
SPEAKER_01I understand because you know, automatically there's a man, you're like, whoa, hold on. But then it's like you see what you try to do, you try to do it.
SPEAKER_03You're right.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he did the right thing. Yeah, so it was a great scene. Daron is like, oh wow, this is I like this. Yeah, this is this is nice. And then um, we we kind of like like go back to um Queen's Landing, I think. Um Rhineera's still going through her problems. Um Can I talk about this? Absolutely, go for it.
SPEAKER_01Um I I know we're gonna go through the whole episode. I really believe that this show should be called The Tragedy of Ranera Targaryen.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm letting you know right now, I am no, I'm not Team Green or Team Black at all.
SPEAKER_03He's not telling the truth.
SPEAKER_01I am Team Dragon in the beginning. And Team Valerion. I was Team Black. You said Team Green?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01No, no, I was never about it. I hated high tower from day one. But Ranera right now is making such horrible decisions.
SPEAKER_03I'm gonna have to push back on that, brother.
SPEAKER_01We're gonna go ahead then. Because can let me just say this with a little bit. No, go ahead, go ahead. The first big oh, the biggest mistake she made, number one, was when she spurned Coralus to me. Because even in this episode, Corliss is leaving to go take care of the rest of the triarchy. And you look, he still has an armada of men with him. Yes. This is your one of your greatest allies. Yes. He's like, I'm just gonna go take care of this. So he's gonna open up the trade route so now the people can get food and they can start getting that money again. They can start getting that chicken in Queensland and in the Red Keep and all that. He's still serving, even though he's mad.
SPEAKER_03That nigga's not serving, bro. He is. That he's serving himself. His son said it to him.
SPEAKER_01That's not what his son said to him.
SPEAKER_03His son was on some like, bro, you don't like it.
SPEAKER_01He said sometimes you ain't gotta, you know, but he's not saying he's like, listen, you go and be her counselor, which is smart because he's gonna help her warm more warm up to him. Fair enough. He's gonna go open up the trade routes because that affects everybody, including where they are stationed now. That's true. And also be able to build his wealth back up at drift back.
SPEAKER_03You see what you said right there?
SPEAKER_01You have to have that's not just his only reason. He don't wanna, he don't, right. Corless is an honorable man. I'm not rolling with that. Honorable men don't have bastards. I'm gonna jump ahead. Honorable men don't have bastards. Neither do honorable women.
unknownOkay. Alright.
SPEAKER_03Fair enough.
SPEAKER_01She got three of them. Fair enough. And not even just, and I'm gonna go in on this because we we look at Corless. Oh, he's a bad dad. He was near. At least his sons are his sons, and they are trying to get his name. Ranera allowed her sons to be given the name of a family that's not even their family. They're strongs, but she's trying to give pass them off as Targaryens or Valerians, whatever one it was. That's far worse than anything Corless did. He's not trying to lie. He was actually gonna give one of her children his name, just for the sake of his name, where she's trying to take someone's the crazy.
SPEAKER_03Ranera never stepped out, though.
SPEAKER_01Stepped out, what do you mean?
SPEAKER_03She never stepped out on her husband.
SPEAKER_01Doesn't matter. She slept with everybody.
SPEAKER_03No, she didn't. You see, go ahead. She slept with everybody. I don't like what's going on. And your daughter. You seen what happened in life. Shout out Vamans. Never shout out Vaman. Nah, Vamin's. I think it was a loser, bro. He's not a loser. He don't got no kids. Did you hear his? You gotta listen to listen to his monologue. He ain't sire no kids, though. You can't be acting like that. Doesn't mean he's old.
SPEAKER_01It's over yet.
SPEAKER_03It is over. He ended his own bloodline by being.
SPEAKER_01You gotta listen to his whole monologue. And you got you this thing. You're wrong for saying it there and then, but you're not wrong for what you're saying. It's a thing. It's called being tactful. Yeah, you have to have tact. And Corless had tact up until that moment where he's like, yo, listen.
SPEAKER_03He's black, be black.
SPEAKER_01Huh? He's black, be black. What is that? Oh, I thought you said he's black. I was like, I was like, wait. No, he did, but at the end of the day, like, if anyone has the opposite who has the right to black in that moment, it's definitely him. Now I'm gonna tie into something else. I'm gonna let you continue. I'm done. I'm not good. I'm already jumping around. No, no, no. This is this is what we do. This show has has taught me that people in general have selective righteousness because we're talking about a bad dad, and this episode highlights how horrible of a father that Damon took. Don't do this, bro. Do not do this. Absolutely. Here's why I'm okay. Here's why. First of all, because you know everyone likes Damon because he gets done, he gets stuff done. He got a sick dragon, he's a no business, no, no joke type of person. Somebody you definitely wouldn't slap. Without a dragon. Without a dragon. But this man killed his wife. Went to the veil, found her on the road. Like, oh, I'm sick of you. Killed her. So he could marry another person, right? And then when she couldn't give, when she was struggling to give birth to a son, looked at her like Yeah, we're gonna have to slice you open. She went and killed herself. His two daughters need him more. I remember the scene. I'll never forget the scene. He's standing over the parapet of the um the castle, which is like the you know the railing and whatnot. His daughter's over there crying. I think the grandmother was consoled him. He's standing there looking out, like, what am I gonna do next? Your daughters needed you. We have no scenes of Damon showing Bayla or Reina, right? Yeah, Reina. Raina, any kind of love of fatherly affection or encouraging her, like, yo, I know you don't have a dragon, we're gonna figure this out. None of that. Matter of fact, when Jace died, he was sad. He went back to the place. Baylor was there. You don't see him walk up to Baylor like, yo, what happened? No. Scold her or even like anything. Nothing. You're correct. Now find out she has a sheep stealer and she looks like a crackhead. What have you done to yourself? Now this is the first- and I enjoyed it because it was the first time you saw him be a father, and I thought it was redeeming. The same way we're giving him an allowance to try and redeem his relationship with his daughter, we should give that to Corless trying to redeem his relationship with his bastards. Let me know when I can interject. You can say what you want at this point, but the end of the first time, also, first time we ever seen Damon run. This guy, Sheep Stealer came out.
SPEAKER_03This guy said, oh yeah, he gotta get him right there. He had to get up out of there.
SPEAKER_01And Karaxis is a gangster because Caraxy was trying to pull up on um the Sheep Stealer. I'm telling you right now, that's the toughest dragon out of all of them. Alright. He don't play no games. And he called him a B-A-N before when he flew off. If you look back, Karaxis is yelling at him. But go ahead.
SPEAKER_03He's not wrong. But there's two demons in this story. There's pre-Haron Hall and it's post-Haron Hall.
SPEAKER_01Post-Haron Hall? Bayla was there at the castle when he was there. He decided, I'm gonna go slap up with some dragon seeds and not go see how my daughter's doing.
SPEAKER_03He's also betrothed. Because he looks at his daughter as a dragon warrior. That one. So in their lore, he died how he was supposed to die. That's how he looked at it. His thing with Jace was more of a how how Rhenira is feeling. He went to his wife, which I thought you would have been approving of.
SPEAKER_01I approve that.
SPEAKER_03The kids are fine.
SPEAKER_01I gotta take care of my food. I'll get to it when I can. And there's no scene of it. No. So it didn't happen. Probably not. But probably not. If it's not on screen, it didn't happen. It didn't happen. She's a dragon rider. She's not No one even acknowledges Baylor. Now she's a bum. Like, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_03It's not that.
SPEAKER_01You all right. So let's let's put you in the position. I mean, empathy has to happen. Yes. Your stepson. Do I have a dragon? You're a Damon. I'm Damon. Oh, yeah. You have a daughter. Yes. Who's supposed to be betrothed to this your stepson, right? She almost dies by this faceless rider. Yes. Jace dies partially because she was in um cahoots with him to go against the queen. Yep. At some point, you gotta address this girl. Whether it's yes. Whether it's gonna be in love or it's gonna be both.
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_01Scold her in. You're correct. Why can't he do that? Horrible father.
SPEAKER_03I would say Great Warrior. Horrible father. I would say that was a bad move as a dad. Yes, you are correct. Bad move, but Corless is the devil. I don't think Corless is the devil. I ain't getting on him over there.
SPEAKER_01I don't think Corless is the devil. And he's trying to redeem it too. Like he's trying to do the right thing.
SPEAKER_03I think Corless is a self. He cares more about himself than he does his family. And Damon doesn't? No, Damon cares more about prophecy now than he's like. But that's you on Diana.
SPEAKER_01You on Dionis Hill? I'm not. They're both bad dads. But for different reasons. I think that we're focusing on Corless too much. Yes, that's true. He deserves to shout out to go in on Ronier. Like, are you serious? It's because he's black. And si let me just say add one more thing. Absolutely. I'm not gonna go with the black thing yet. That's a part of it for sure. But think about this. You sired three bastards. Everyone knows it. Who are we talking about? Ronier. Okay. Everyone knows it. Everyone knows it. The people know it. The sep knows it. Like, I am I am not anointing you as the queen. Um the greens knew it. The strong, everyone knows this. Yes. Open secret. But we're all playing like we don't know. Yeah. Fine, cool. Then you anointed three bastards to be draggons. Dragon riders, yeah. No, you you gave two of them. One of them got it by himself, by the way. That's another reason why she should give some more credit to Adam Hole. Because he didn't go He got chosen. He got chosen. Like this is some destiny type thing. Yeah. Cool. So you already have three, two separate bastard situations. This is why I said what I said last episode.
SPEAKER_03Two bastard camps.
SPEAKER_01You might as well lean into it. Because now I'm gonna deny you yours, but I legitimized mine with a false name. And I gave dragons to two nobodies who are complete bastards. I agree with you.
SPEAKER_03If she was a man, I think that's the only thing. She can't have any of this. She already has this stuff on her ledger. She can't add more to it. I think that's the only thing. And I think that's what the story is kind of telling us is that no matter what she does, no matter which way she pulls. It's a man's fault. It's no, it's not a man's fault. It's the fact that she is not a man. And the only place it worked, honestly, is the veil. But you see, the reason why it works in the veil is because it's always this pseudo. Oh yeah, we're just waiting until this kid matures. Or my husband is off at war. So, which does work, but it's we're all playing a game. We all know that it's the queen of the veil that runs stuff.
SPEAKER_01The lady of the veil, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it's the lady of the veil that runs stuff. But we're all playing this game because the men still aren't, or the society's still not they're cucks, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like they in the front, but it's really her cooking.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but we all are still gonna play this game. It's like the reverse of what's happening in uh Queensland. But all right, let's continue with the episode.
SPEAKER_01Yo, yeah, and one more thing. Allison's a better ruler than Ranera. Uh, you see, a way better ruler. Ranera's asking her for advice.
SPEAKER_03But no, but can I tell you why though? And this is the difference. Ranera, Allison's um cabinet was built by Otto. He built an elite cabinet to be.
SPEAKER_01Ranera was raised as a princess. She should know this stuff. She's been on her father's side. You should know the rules. Yeah, but it's her. And you got Damon, who's who also used to be there. Corless is a ruler. Yeah, but again, she got a cabinet.
SPEAKER_03She's listening.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_03When she asked Corless for help. One time she asked her. What did he say? He said, I deferred to my queen one time. Damon is never there. That nigga is just there too. Sent him away. He's supposed to kick ass and she wants to find the So again, it's everyone's fault.
SPEAKER_01No, I'm I'm telling you, she's built. Let me quote you. Go ahead. Me quote, not you. Let me quote Ranier. Yeah. I may have the body of a feeble woman, but I have the heart and spirit of a king. She was wrong for that. She was wrong. She's wrong for what she said. She's wrong right now. Give her a cabinet.
SPEAKER_03Alison was ruling way better now. Because she had a better cabinet. I'm not disagreeing with you. She was, but it's because she had a better cabinet. That's what I would say. I think once uh Renier gets a cabinet, which she probably never will, she hired your man. Mom hand, don't do this.
SPEAKER_01I'm telling you right now, I'm calling it that guy at some point lose his head. And I think he's gonna do some snakes.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so she hired him under the uh advice of um her master or her mistress of whispers.
SPEAKER_01She's a snake too. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_03Which told her, like, hey, like, just hire some guy we can blame this on, which is which is smart, it's tactful. But um, I think she needs a better cabinet, and she's slowly building it.
SPEAKER_00What I must say though, I don't know the books. I know Game of Thrones.
SPEAKER_03We watch Game of Thrones, there's some funny stuff going on. In terms of what? So, Fire and Blood or the story that we're watching, yep, is written by three narrators, and all three of them have their own biases, and it's like how history is today. Yep. The people that wrote it are not essentially telling the truth, or they're putting their thumb on certain scales that probably shouldn't be there. Telling their truth. And I'm I'm gonna use Aegon for an example. Aegon is running around, uh, he's trying to link up back with Christian Cole because he thinks that Christian Cole's uh is gonna be, you know, hey, I'm the king still. Uh he doesn't I don't think he realizes how Christian Cole and Aimon. I don't I don't know what I really want to see what happens, and I hope we do get to see because I don't again I didn't read the books when they get face to face. I think Christian Cole takes his head. I I genuinely believe that. Nah, dog, I'm with Team Aidman. I don't think so. That's just my my my uh prediction. But he goes to his dragon, and there's a spoiling Game of Thrones about how this whole thing ends, at least how it was written. Um and Oh, you caught it? His dragon is dead, yeah. Once you mentioned that, it kind of I was fighting it, but uh but but what I do like though is that they're doing the thing where history is written written the way it is on purpose. So we don't know We don't know if that's how happened. Or that's hey, just like how Aegon is dead in their time, right? But Aegon is clearly still walking around. Maybe Renera's fate is not what was in the history. And she has three brothers, so we could we don't know who's bro who it was if that's the case. Exactly. So we we see the dragon, uh the sunfire, right? Sunfire, yeah. Sunfire, um He's not dead. Baylor said he was dead, and now we're getting the confirmation from well uh I don't think the dragon's dead.
SPEAKER_01I don't think so either. No, I'll tell you why though, if you want to know.
SPEAKER_03No, yeah, of course.
SPEAKER_01Do would you have a reason why?
SPEAKER_03Like I think it's just a they're just telling us it's like we can just tell.
SPEAKER_01There's the connection. Yeah, the connection. But also, remember when they go to Rooks Rest, they see Melee's body as the King.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Sunfire wasn't the king. No, no. Probably still a coma or something.
SPEAKER_03And he took a scale. I don't know if that's meant is that like a key?
SPEAKER_01Maybe, but I think him touching him and he, I'm here, boy, is like, you know, that magical connection. And um, I know you're probably gonna get into it later, but what happens to the humbling of Aegon Targaryen having to kiss that boot with the Yeah. What's on your hand is on my boot. Exactly. I told you there's a lot of that shit going around. He gonna get he gonna get his get back when some fire show up.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I I honestly thought, um, and which is why they're better writers than I am today. I thought that they were gonna wake the dragon up just to at least kill these dudes, because I didn't know how they were gonna get out of that. I thought they didn't really tell you how they got out of that. So they're now back at that castle that the fight happened at. And there's some dude here who's straight up. In this world, right, the term lord. So let me see. If Damon heard that guy calling himself Lord, what happens? Is that guy allowed to call him? He doesn't have a castle.
SPEAKER_01He claimed the castle. I'm in charge here. He could probably used to be a soldier.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And it's like, I'm in charge. And he hates river folk. We know that. Yeah, so um now he's not a lord. Damon would have Damon would have dealt with that. He probably would have executed him for like masquerading as a lord. Lord of what?
SPEAKER_03Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so that guy already, he's gonna have a brutal death because, like you said, he basically put Aegon, who was a forget about him being a king, right? He's been nobility his whole life. Yeah. So him cleaning out latrines for tanners and um farmers. That's that's something he can't rock with. Yeah. But I was surprised he actually um kissed the boot.
SPEAKER_02He had no choice.
SPEAKER_01I thought he was gonna. He's a coward. You know, you gotta understand something, which I'm sure you you already know this. Like a lot of these Targaryen without their dragons, and this is why we like Damon. Yeah. Because without his dragon, he's still gonna see you. But a lot of them without their dragons are just freaks. Yeah. I'm just gonna I'm gonna step on limb and say that. Like, even all the way down to Daenerys. Without her dragons.
SPEAKER_03She was a freak.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. That's all you could do. But then you have your select few. These are the these are the and these are the most notable ones to me. Damon, Jon Snow, Rhaegel. You gotta see me without my dragon.
SPEAKER_03Jon Snow is not a Targaryen, bro.
SPEAKER_01He's not raised a Targaryen, but he is a Targaryen. He's a Boston. His father. He's a royal. His name is really Aegon.
SPEAKER_03He's a Boston. Nah, he's born. He was born.
SPEAKER_01But you go ahead. You're right. You're right. You're right. I ain't gonna argue with you about this. Jon Snow is him, so we know that.
SPEAKER_03Right. I'm just saying. Little Northmen. Yeah, no, I rock with John Snow. He was a phenomenal character. Still alive. Why are we talking about it like he's dead? Right. Bad little bastard. The greatest. One of the greatest. He's one of the greatest. Yeah, so I was really surprised. Kissed the poo-poo boo. He kissed the boot. And I really want to see how he how he gets back to Kristen Cole and how that whole thing works out. So speaking of Kristen Cole, we were back at Heron Hall. And simple. He um he gets the news that you know Queen's Landing. Queen's Landing is now Queen's Landing. And it doesn't phase him in the way I thought it would have. He kind of was just like we ball. He's been like this for a while. Yeah, he's he's a man that wants to die. I think he wants to die. But he wants to die the way he wants to die. Going out glory. He's trying to redeem himself to himself, I think it is. No?
SPEAKER_01AG, I just brought up redemption. We wasn't having it. No, Christian Cole can be reading.
SPEAKER_03I don't think he can be redeemed. But you know what's flyby game? Anyone could be redeemed. They redeemed um my man Jamie. So if they could redeem himself. If they can redeem Jamie, there's hope for Christmas. And Theon.
SPEAKER_01Theon was the greatest.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah. He probably is the better example. Yes, he got redeemed.
SPEAKER_01He had a Reek went from Greyjoy to Reek to Theon the Great.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. So he gets the news.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And uh Gwane, that's the another high tower.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's the brother.
SPEAKER_03He's probably the only high tower I rock with.
SPEAKER_01I like Gwen. Yeah, he's he's more like he's like, yo, we're in trouble. You just need to get out of here.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and he's like nah. And then obviously Shorty shows up, the witch. And they actually like, yo, where's he actually threatens her too? Uh Kristen Cole threatens her. Like, you best be telling me where uh Eamon is a rose. I'm gonna atahuasca in your face. Me my best. Me my blade. So she does the greatest magic trick of all time. How'd she uh disappear Vagar?
SPEAKER_01I think I personally think Vagar just flew off to rest. She's always resting. She's a big, slow, tired grandmother dragon. She's probably in the woods somewhere resting.
SPEAKER_03How do you where where could she rest?
SPEAKER_01Every time we look and we see Vagar not with Aegon, Amen. She's resting somewhere laid out. And then when she lays down, like you don't see her. She's just like moss. Yeah, she looks rusty.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so Aemon is is missing, and you think that's what he's out of Wascat out. Yeah, I think he's about she's about to soup him up.
SPEAKER_01I think he's gonna come back with more enlightenment. Oh, so he's gonna be peaceful. I think she's manipulating him and umon against each other.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean they're already against each other. Yeah. See, I think she's just trying to figure out which one she can get this castle from.
SPEAKER_01I personally think Eamon's afraid of Damon.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01I think that this is gonna make him feel emboldened to fight Damon. Oh, like now he's not gonna be scared. And that's gonna pipe him up. They both gonna die, bro. But who wins the fight is what we're Oh, it's Damon.
SPEAKER_03I really wonder. Yo, if there's one thing I'll do, just make Damon win that fight, because then I can keep him as well.
SPEAKER_01No, we it it's obvious. And I'm like, I'm gonna let you in on the the on my take, really. But Eamon is not the big threat here. He's not the big bad right now. Who is it? Orman Hightower. Oh, no, yeah, yeah. Orman Hightower is the big bad thing. Nah, they let us they let that slip. They said, Oh, you killed Otto. We got a new his little brother is worse. He's worse, yeah. Far and he's like, he's classy, very intelligent, and um, you know, Allison talked, he low-key has a dragon that doesn't like him. Yeah, but Allison, bro, he's he's very classy, he thinks he's smarter than everybody, and he's sensitive to smells. Hence why he's taking a bath and someone else's.
SPEAKER_03That's his weakness.
SPEAKER_01It is, it gave us his weakness.
SPEAKER_03He had the yeah, smelling sauce.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but yeah, go ahead.
SPEAKER_03So yeah, so we at Harrah, Eamon's gone, Vagar's gone, and instead of just packing it up and going home, so Kristen Cole is like, nah, we're about to take on this army. My son Gwain is like, yo, dog, they have like 10x our men. And he's like, nah, 20. They have 20x. And we still about to bang out. Gwane is not going for that.
SPEAKER_01You're Gwen, what do you do? Oh, I do what Gwen did. I'm telling my uncle, like, yo, this guy's tripping. Eamon's not here. Soft. Soft. I ain't like what Gwane did. Listen, let me tell you something. Let me tell you, let me tell you something. Gwen is nobility. Yes. Kristen Cole is someone from nothing that has been raised into a prominent position. Yes, sir. Right? He said it already. I don't have nothing to lose. Gwane is like, I got everything to lose. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's why you gotta like hold on. You're doing too much. Can I tell you what I would have done?
SPEAKER_03I don't got a dragon in this situation, by the way. You ain't got a dragon. Nope. What are you gonna do? I'm Gwane. Pick up your sword, bro.
SPEAKER_01And you're gonna lose. Kristen Cole is like that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I know, I know.
SPEAKER_01Actually, I don't know. Gwane might have some. I don't know what Gwen got. He might have some skill.
SPEAKER_03No, he's not being. He's just there's a size difference. Gwane looks like a little ass kid compared to Kristen Cole, bro. He is Allison's brother. It's a big dude. Yeah. Um, yeah, but I just didn't like that. I think I think he should have kind of like maybe played the nobility card. Like, listen, um, I got shit to lose. These men have shit to lose. I would have just turned the guys against him. That's what I would have done.
SPEAKER_01That makes sense. I mean, yeah, Kristen Cole, to me, if I'm just knowing, because we know everything from the audience. Yeah, we yeah, we don't he's unstable to me. Yeah, yeah. He's too involved emotionally, almost killed himself. He wants to die. Yeah, he's wild. He doesn't like he hates the way he's living. Like, it's it's uh it's horrible.
SPEAKER_03We probably still love a Renera. That's a dangerous dude. He definitely That's what I said. That's a dangerous guy. Dude that hates himself. What's he gonna do to you? Exactly. He hates himself. He's trying to he's trying to kill all the whole army. We all die. We all crash.
SPEAKER_01Nah. Um, do you think he's gonna be successful? I think he's gonna have some success. I think what's happening now is the Greens, the Greens are in chaos, but they're also mounting power. Because if he can rejoin, if they can join in with um Ormond in uh Tumbleton, they now have a decent force, and also they have knowledge of you know a King's Land Queen's Landing. Yep, yep. Um, I think the blacks also are trying to rebuild, and they're also in chaos, clearly.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um but they have a little bit more cohesion. Sort of. They have six dragons. Um, but the the dissension is gonna come in with Tumbleton.
SPEAKER_03No, I think that is dragon seeds. I think that's where her reign ends. Like in sense of this is where I'm team Hugh right now.
SPEAKER_01The house, nah, I can't roll. You wanna know why? What? It's just these are just noble elites fighting, and he's a common man, like a bastard blood of one noble elites. He's just like, yo, I just need to get to my wife. A simple man trying to get back to his wife. And you like, nah, I'm gonna let Hugh do it. Because the conflict that interests you. Of, my bad. I'm gonna let Of do it because the conflict that interests you. She was correct. But Ulf is in here getting drunk, talking about yo, can you um a part of my boy and pay off this debt? You wouldn't have done the same thing? Me? Yeah. Nah. I would have told it's me and you. And you like, yo, yo, GR, I need you to help me get off. I'm like, yo, listen, AG. I'm going to try at some point, but right now, she don't even like it.
SPEAKER_03And don't come back to the bar, nigga. Can't you say to me? Can't come back.
SPEAKER_01Alright, bad.
SPEAKER_03I'm here, but her. Yeah, look at the look at the God. You're gonna kick me out of the bar now. I've been taking it for this because you're not rolling with us. That's a bad friend. You gonna put me in that position? You should tell me no. That's crazy. You didn't tell me no. I'd rather hear no. Don't tell me I'm gonna tell when I didn't.
SPEAKER_01I'm not in the right position for that. No, no, you're right. The other day, Damon slapped me in my face. I ain't do nothing. I'm gonna be honest with you. I ain't do nothing. Don't tell me that. I'd have been like, yo, your dragon was there?
SPEAKER_03I'll be like, What's your dragon? But you see, I ain't getting slapped. That's what my responsibility is. You would have been packed. You're right, you're right, you're right. You're right about that.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no. She she shouldn't, he shouldn't be asking her. You can see her reaction. Again, Emma Darcy's acting. She was just like, they serious? Stop saying she.
SPEAKER_03They.
SPEAKER_01Emma Darcy, I'm gonna say the name. There you go. Emma Darcy, like the acting that was performed by this person.
SPEAKER_03Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_01Was phenomenal. Because her reaction was like, this isn't, this isn't for you. He's like, no. And she's like, yo, listen, you just know. Get out of my face.
SPEAKER_03She hit him with a cold bar though, because he was like, Well, she's like, Yeah, so what happens if you get like your belly gets cut or something like that? He's like, Yeah, it's my belly. She's like, No, that's the crown's belly. It's the crown, yeah. I what are you talking about?
SPEAKER_01You don't, there's no oath belly no more. But of is a loser. Yeah. So he felt spurned by it.
SPEAKER_03No, no, this is gonna back for because he tried to dig her back. It was like, oh, they put in Queen of Bastards. And then again, she, and I don't blame her for this, but she says, Hey, can y'all take care of that? And she was not cognizant of how demons' teams move. She wasn't as a leader, you have to know your personnel. Exactly. She's not plugged in. If I know that these niggas are wildcards on some All Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter shit, I can't send them out into the public to rectify that. No. And then she, to me, I would have told uh Hugh, knowing that his wife was in that town, that you just can't do that. I would you can't go. No. You can't go. Because what's gonna happen is he's gonna go there, he's gonna get emotional, and he's gonna end up burning down that city. That's what's that's definitely gonna happen. And then it's gonna make her look like the mad queen. Once he finds out that's his wife, he's like, Yeah, he's gonna he's gonna hang her in front of him.
SPEAKER_01And then he's gonna go crazy.
SPEAKER_03And then he's gonna burn down that city. He's gonna go crazy. And then I don't know if Ormin survives that whole thing, but they got a dragon.
SPEAKER_01If uh Tessarian challenges Vermathor, I mean, it's clipped for Tessarian. You don't believe in Darren? No. He's his mother's child. He's very soft. He's a soft guy. Not in a bad way, but it's just like he's not aiming, he's not even Aegon. He's a soft. Aegon rolled into battle, like, I know I'm the king, I shouldn't do this, but I'm going.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And the only reason why he took an L is because uh, well, he was gonna lose. Melee's gonna kill him.
SPEAKER_03He was gonna lose. Actually, uh Vegar saved his life.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So I'm saying he was gonna lose, but he was willing to fight. Yeah, he was willing to fight. Aemon packed up both of them.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01But um, yeah, Hugh is gonna go off. We already see where this is going.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he's gonna burn the city down. Um And I think I think either uh Orman kills his wife or he kills his wife by missing.
SPEAKER_01As long as his wife don't get raped. I'm not about that. That's crazy. I think she dies. If she gets raped, I'm 100%, I'm burning the whole city myself.
SPEAKER_03I think she dies by his hands. By who? Ormans? No, Vermathor. Vermathor? Burns the city. Can't control the dragon. Nah, I think that's what happens to his wife. We've seen Caraxes bug out this episode. You're right. We seen a Vagar bug out. We seen um, what's uh Luceris' dragon called? You keep calling this a no-name dragon. Arax bug out. Arax, yeah. We I think there's a theme here.
SPEAKER_01They said it though. Yeah, I think it was um Jaseri's Jahiries or whatever his king said, like, you don't really control these dragons. It's an illusion. It's an illusion. Yeah, we control these dragons, yeah. They have their own minds, they connect with you, but like when they decide, like Karaxis acting up was crazy, and then seeing Damon try to like slap him with a glove. I'm like, What are you doing? They have their connection, but now they have their own minds.
SPEAKER_03I'm still I know I'm a dragon. You might not know that I know I'm a dragon, but I know I'm a dragon. For sure. So I think Vermathor goes off of Hugh's emotion and he ends up burning the whole place down. And by default, his wife dies too. And then I don't know what happens with the character at that point.
SPEAKER_01Hugh is gonna, I think Hugh's gonna like think I can run this.
SPEAKER_03But like with what army? With Vermitor. Nah, son. He he doesn't seem like that type of guy. If Olf had Vermithor, I believe you. Olf would never be able to conquer.
SPEAKER_01No, but he I think he got a female dragon. I think he what does that mean? That means he's a female. Nah, Daron's white dragon is a female too, actually. Okay. How can you tell? You the you the dragon guy in this pod. You know that. They tell you, like, they kind of show you. Put me on? I think they said she or something. I think he mentioned it once, but I know that's Silverwing because she had a clutch of eggs.
SPEAKER_03So before we leave uh um Tumbleton.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because I got some other points too.
SPEAKER_03Orman shows his true colors.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but he's he showed that before. The subterfuge on um with the with the fake. Nah, but that was swag. Yo, the guy, the guy is that's why I'm saying he's the big bag, because he's doing a lot of this.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that he he he's like Damon and um uh what's the other high tire? Uh Otto.
SPEAKER_01One guy. This we don't know how he is with the swordy. I ain't seen him fight nobody. Yeah, that's true, that's true. That's true. But he's definitely on some like, alright, take the boy. Turn around, this ain't him.
SPEAKER_03He got he got the conniving spirit of Damon. So he brings out the guy, the husband or the brother of um Ulf's wife. Yeah, brother in law. And he shows um Daron that, yo, we also gotta let the small folk know we don't mess around. Stabs, he makes him stab him. I thought he was gonna behead him. Why ain't he behead him? I've never seen that before.
SPEAKER_01That was a dishonor. Well, was I supposed to read into this? Beheading is more about treason. Okay. And um, like uh, what do you call it?
SPEAKER_03Like, because they hang they hang people.
SPEAKER_01They hang people, but the stab, I guess, was I've never seen that again. He wanted Darwan to be tainted by stabbing them. Because remember, Allison said, I don't want him to be like his brothers. I failed. That's my most my most motherly thing was to send him away to be raised correctly. Yeah. And um, she didn't want this to happen, so Ormond Ormond is violating by kind of turning him into a monster.
SPEAKER_03Yes. So Ormond is the big bag, and he showed his true colors to me right then and there. And Aegon shows up. I mean, Eamon. He forced him to stab him, and then he lets us know that, yo, you canoodling with this beast. Ugh. This is unsightly. Yeah. I have a question for you. Renera and Alison have a scene where they talk about their children. And you said that she said, you know, I never wanted him to be a I gave Viserys three Targaryen. This is a high tower. Does she mean that literally? Who's his dad?
SPEAKER_01I think he uh Who's Daryl's dad? His father would have to be the king because he has a dragon. That's where the Targaryen line comes from. His father. Because Allison's not a Targaryen. Unless unless what? It's what?
SPEAKER_03So we're we're believing in the Targaryen myth that you have to be a Targaryen to ride a dragon.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely.
SPEAKER_03We're still rocking with that.
SPEAKER_01That's a real thing. Only person we've seen who's who's done it without is um Adam. And we don't know that Adam isn't technically he's actually Valerian. No, he's a Valerian. So they should have something like that. No, they do, they do. They do. He's the only one I've seen. Because they're from they're from Valeria. But they I don't know if they have the blood, the dragon blood in them. They do the oldest family, but they said that the way that Targaryen's came about is by blood magic or some kind of scientific expl um experiment where they took a wyvern and I forgot what the name of the other mythical creatures and they created dragons. Yeah, because that that's not a classical dragon. Yeah, they mix the blood together and put it in a human, and that's how the connection is created. I don't know if the Valerians took part of that. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01But um I think that he's definitely Jehirius's son.
SPEAKER_03Okay, okay. Fair enough. But um Then there's another scene with Allison and Helena. Oh, Helena's pregnant. And then her bosoms were shown. Yeah. And then she looked at her belly, and then she kind of Who's the daddy?
SPEAKER_01That I don't know. It's two who the daddy. Maylor? That's the third kid we've seen. Maylor. Um but I'm thinking it could be Amen.
SPEAKER_03The dad is probably Aemon's Aemon's rapy. The dad is Aimon. I I'm gonna go out on the record and say that. The dad is Aemon. Because the baby's new and it's like Aegon's been. I'm like Aegon don't have a dick.
SPEAKER_01But he's gone. How big is the belly? Yeah, it might be Amen's.
SPEAKER_03I thought you were about to say something.
SPEAKER_01Y'all see the disrespect? That's crazy.
SPEAKER_03That's not disrespect. We're talking about this. What do you thought I was gonna say? I don't even remember anymore.
SPEAKER_01Alright. How big is her belly? This guy's a wild. Back rooms, huh?
SPEAKER_03Front room.
SPEAKER_01Um like, how big is her belly? Because like now we can get kind of get a snap of the time. Um, but either way, even if it's not Aigan, um, aim Aegon or Amons. Amons. Um, she's a Targaryen, so you're birthing a Targaryen by blood. Not by name, but I'm thinking it has to be um Amons. Okay. Okay. He's a Targaryen through and through very like, yo, I'll sleep with my mom, I'll sleep with my mom.
SPEAKER_03He's very so the scene that let me know that uh GR is 100% correct about uh the high towers specifically, Orman being the this season's big bad, was when Ranera asked the Maester. Shout out the black Maester, by the way. No, not attorney general. What's the the the what's the um the doctor? I did the the Oh uh Nation's doctor, what's that person called? That's Fauci. Yeah, Fauci. Yeah, whatever whatever his uh position position was. Director of Health, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He he was uh showing her the correspondence between Old Town and Um Allison, I guess, or Aegon, whoever was running at the time, or was it Otto? Whoever. All of them, yeah. Basically, them niggas ain't respond. They got all the messages and they just stopped responding. Who? So uh Old Town. So they are Dorman has been running this thing by himself.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So he's none of the stuff that he's doing is planned by the greens. He's hey, we're gonna do our own thing. So he essentially, that was the scene that made me know, oh, these niggas are rogue. Like they're another faction that Renier has to deal with outside of Yeah, they they knew. Yeah, so my thing is what happens, these are the two things that I don't I want to see happen. What happens when Aegon links up with Kristen Cole, and what happens when Vagar shows up wherever Eamon and Vagar show up wherever, and where do they show up?
SPEAKER_01Vagar's gonna catch a few bodies before the end of this.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01I'm letting you know right now. Um, a couple people, I'm because you know, again, we know that this is the Dance of the Dragon.
SPEAKER_03Nigga, if you're about to spoil something, I say no spoiler.
SPEAKER_01I'm not, but do you do you know the history of this? I'm trying my best to understand why this is important, this whole thing. Yeah, I do, but can I say it or no?
unknownAlright.
SPEAKER_01We w did you watch Dunkin' Egg? Spoil it. No, I'm not gonna spoil it. Because again, it's perspective. It's my it's what I watch and see versus like what you just told me. You know, it's it's two different things. That's why I'm not afraid of people spoiling it. I hate spoilers, bro. So I can't spoil anything. Like, even the history's out there. Vegas gonna catch a couple bodies. No, that's not a spoiler. It's gonna catch a lot of bodies most likely. Now that's a spoiler. See? Stop. A lot of things. It's a dragon. It's two different things. You know what he caught a lot of bodies. Bailey's and uh what's that little dragon name?
SPEAKER_03Sneak attack, Arax. Shout out to Arax. That don't even count.
SPEAKER_01Arax is punching above his weight low. That boy, that dragon was the size of a donkey. So that's why he lost trying to fly fast. Still a dragon. Vagar took three steps and was on. What are you doing? Come here. But anyway. Um, no, there was also something I thought was interesting too in the episode is um because you know they style the uh greens as being very closely connected to the sept. The sept, yep. And you know, the sept had uh again, I don't know if you know the history, but they had a uh rebellion uprising against Maylor. Yeah, it was one of them. And she referenced it. I don't want to be with the second coming of Maylor because her and the Maesters hinted at, like, oh, we could just kill the sept. Yeah. On some wickedness. Yeah, but uh she's like, nah. People are gonna rise up. And that's Renera's problem. She wants the validation of the people way too much. But um, I say that to say because you get a uh because you know, when you look at Allison, she's always I was in the gods tree or the gods.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, very, very, you know.
SPEAKER_01Yep, and that's why she wanted to send her son there so he'd have that connection too. Because Amon and Aegon don't care about none of that. They don't care about dragons. That's not their religion. But Ormin is like that. He's always that's why he's always like, you know, these filthy creatures and cleanliness, and it's it shows you that they have such a connection to the uh the religion of the day that it helps them to have a self-righteousness that makes them like we're better than you. Yes. Which which again is why Damon kind of knew from the jump with the high towers, like, I don't rock with our god is dragons in power, and theirs is you know, these seven the seven, so it's like we're already at a clash. But we're now seeing that something like I think that's gonna be a part of the tragedy of Renera Targaryen, because again, remember the Sep was like, nah, I'm not coronating you, son. I'm just not gonna do it. Shows that he's very much siding with the Greeks. Yeah, that was there's a lot going on here, like, and Ronera has to clean house in a way that is gonna be very it has to be very Targaryen, like I'm getting rid of you off what you had out here, and she ha again, like I said, it goes back to what I said before. She has to dig into call me the queen of the bastards. Oh, by the way, that graffiti of Queen of the Bastards had colors. Coralus did it.
unknownCorolla.
SPEAKER_01Black. So he did the graffiti. Who else can do the graffiti? It's mad black. Yo, one of Of's friends is black. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Rembrandt. But notice the color scheme was one was white. I think one was blue and the other one was like red or whatever. Yeah, what'd that mean? Um, Of the white. Um, Hole's color is blue. Blue. And um Hughes's red or bronze, whatever. So I think I think they were referencing the dragon seeds as bastards. Yeah. But Of spun it like they talking about it. A bunch of kids, yeah, because Of was trying to hit her where it hurts. Yeah, and you saw her. And it worked. You saw her get flustered.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it worked.
SPEAKER_01She's like, what? It's always gonna be insecurity for her. She's very insecure. The whole, and that's been been her biggest issue throughout the entire show is the insecurity wanting the validation of the people. Then you do something that hurts the people. You want the validation of the nobles, and you do something that hurts the people in order in favor of the people, or hurts the nobles in favor of the people. That's her biggest issue. Yeah. But um it's tough.
SPEAKER_03I think if she again, I'm not disagreeing, not disagreeing with GR about the leadership. I do think she just needs a better team. Allison is a better leader. Allison was a better leader than her.
SPEAKER_01She had to rule while Jaheris was out. I mean, when he was he was high in that milk of the poppy other night.
SPEAKER_03Who was who was serving it to him? Huh? Who was serving it to him?
SPEAKER_01Otto and no.
SPEAKER_03Okay, keeping him high. Yeah. High tires, man. We gotta get rid of them high towers. But yeah, that's the episode. Um, I got a couple more points together. Hold on, please, please.
SPEAKER_01Sorry, sorry. Uh, I just wanted to get these out. Yeah, um, Renier's clipped. Um she has a lot of I want moments, and that's what's destroying her. Again, like I'm a matter of fact, I'm just gonna leave her alone for now. Uh the Rats in the Throne reference was such great visual indicators of how this is gonna end. Because by all intent, by by all accounts, the blacks are up. Yeah, you have six dragons, you got King's Landing, um, you have you have whatever's left of the Valerian um Armada in the fleets that's probably gonna come together stronger down the line, at least hopefully. Um, you have a lot of the the important big house. You also have dragon stone, like they just have a lot of power right now. Yeah, and the only way you take something like that down is from the inside inside, yeah. So that's definitely coming. Um, and the rat reference is exactly that. Alan is going to hold it off because he's very wise. Yeah, it's all against the cats. Get the cats, and she's like, alright, and she's gonna build up a relationship with Alan, I think, and I think he's gonna he's gonna die for it. Um I just want to say again, Of is a garbage, disgusting person. That's my least favorite dragon lord ever, if you even want to call him call him that. Um and back to that scene with Damon and Raina. I thought that was a great scene.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, we didn't we didn't talk about that.
SPEAKER_01We didn't get to talk about that.
SPEAKER_03We can do it right now.
SPEAKER_01But I love that you actually have to see the father-daughter um connection that he never shows one time throughout the show. Yep. You never see him with Baylor when she's a kid, like teaching her how to ride a dragon, or even talking to her in high valerian, explaining the importance of their blood, none of that. Till this moment, you you don't see it. And I also want to say shout out to him for trying to cover for his daughter, although um Yeah, it was kind of a weak attempt. It shows his father. I'm gonna go against Renero, who you know I love for the sake of my daughter, and try to like, yo, we got the we got a rider. We know that's not that's not the rider. Um that scene in the cave to me was just really good. I thought the two of them, and he gives the it gives the girl who played like it gives the girl who played Raina an opportunity to kind of act. Act, yeah, even though um I it was I didn't say it was bad, it's just like no. So another bad father.
SPEAKER_03I would I agree. Um what he did in that scene to me, it just shows um where his biggest misstep in that scene where he could have probably have prevented this whole thing from happening from when they were kids, like you're saying. Yeah. Her whole story arc was I don't have a dragon. Yeah. I don't have a dragon. I did a little research. Karaxes is not Damon's dragon. Nah, he wanted Melee's. He he got yeah, he wanted Melee's, but he got Karaxis as like a get back. Like I think Melee's was his granddad's dragon, but she took it. Yeah, they were supposed to have opposite dragon. So he took their dragon, yeah, which is like alright, fuck it. Um, but he got a dragon when he was like 18 years old or something like that. The daughter's younger than he was. He could have just explained to her, like, look, I didn't have a dragon until I was like 18.
SPEAKER_01But that's if that's not again, did they they explain that in the show? Yeah, and it's it's low, it's uh canon. If it's not, then we can't. Yeah, so that's a great that would have been phenomenal.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like from I just need one scene of that. Yeah, from the beginning when she started, like once she lost Vagar, he should have said to her, like, listen, it took me a while to claim a dragon too. Right. And now I got the baddest dragon in the world. Your mom's dragon is cool, but that shit is old. Like that something to make her feel better about herself. Your sister got a dragon out of the egg. It don't happen for everybody, it didn't happen for me, and I'm Damon Targaryen. You know what I'm saying? So you're 100% right on that. Um, another thing, this is like a little book, it's not a spoiler anymore because they're obviously going to separate way with the character. So you can spoil stuff. I said it's not a spoiler. And I'm not spoiling anything. You were a book guy. Pay attention to this guy, bro. Do your thing, man. So the character was supposed to be this nettle character. Oh, yeah, yeah. And it was actually supposed to be uh a love interest for Damon. Like he was supposed to like have this weird, like, I'm am I gonna cheat on Renero with this, with this, wasn't with this nettle character? That was like the whole like Wait, so this whole time Damon not cheating? No, he's I told you the hair whole experience. You ever cheated the hair with who?
SPEAKER_01With her the whisperer queen of uh Michigan.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, that's but yeah, I I don't count that cheat.
SPEAKER_01That's cheat.
SPEAKER_03It's not to me.
SPEAKER_01It's not well, you know what, in this case, no, because Damon already had that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it's not she. It's not shit.
SPEAKER_01That's crazy.
SPEAKER_03Matter of fact, I'm sharing. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01Looking out for you, I'll say that.
SPEAKER_03It's a party favorite. She does good work. That girl is a problem. Yeah, so Nettles was supposed to be like this character, and I like it better. This way, this recon is better because it's like now the emotion kind of makes more sense. Uh then I'm I betrayed Renera. He did.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_03But the reasoning is better. Yes. Like not for some box. It was this is my daughter we're talking about. Yeah. That I already feel like I failed her, and I can't fail her again. And he did try to hit her with the yo, we can just go reason with her. Do you think that would have worked?
SPEAKER_00Um I don't think so. You don't think so? So she would have cut her head off in front of Damon.
SPEAKER_03No, actually, no, it might have worked. I think it would have worked. I think Renair's character in the show. See, I'm not gonna go that far.
SPEAKER_01I think she is, but I think he could have reasoned with her. She cried killing Otto Hightower. Like, there's no way I feel anything for a person like Auto Hightower, but she, whatever, I get it. She just lost her sons.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01So that that's what I would say. That's he was amazing. It would have worked, you're right. I think it would have worked. It's just but it was funny because like the way it was styled, it was like Damon Targaryen is like a father talking to his daughter who's in an abusive relationship. Yep. With a wild wine.
SPEAKER_03With a dude, yeah. Yeah, it's like with that word again.
SPEAKER_01Term. Like, yo, he's no good for you. He can't be trusted.
SPEAKER_02No, he's a part of me.
SPEAKER_01That nigga standing right there with his gun. Yeah, like she leaves with you, you leaving in a bag. I got a gun, too. Yeah, go run and get your gun. Yeah. Because he came out hot.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he did.
SPEAKER_01I don't know what she was thinking. She jumped on that dragon and just flew out.
SPEAKER_03Can we see uh Raina again?
SPEAKER_01I think, yeah, yeah. She's gonna show up and um she didn't get packed. She's gonna pack someone and she's gonna get packed.
SPEAKER_03Look at this guy, man. She's on a wild dragon.
SPEAKER_01Look at this guy. He does what he wants. He has no control.
SPEAKER_03Stop spoiling shit.
SPEAKER_01You gotta say that's my opinion. That's just a take. I don't believe you. I believe that that's really just my take. You wanna know why? Can I convince you? Can I tell you why? Yeah, please. Because let's go to Game of Thrones, which you saw.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01How many dragons you saw in it?
SPEAKER_03I don't remember.
SPEAKER_02I remember. I don't remember. I saw three. And none of them are in this show, so bad writing. Oh my. Alright, we'll see what happens. There's a whole other side of the planet.
SPEAKER_03They went to Pental. Yeah, there's a whole they went to ET actually. Yeah, where the humans fly. Yeah. They went to the end of the planet. They went to the end of the world. Where did Jon Snow went at the end? Huh? Where did Jon Snow go at the end of the plan? He went back up to the cold lands.
SPEAKER_01Was there? Wilding. He likes that wilding. That's true. He likes that. Yeah, that's true. Right here.
SPEAKER_03That's true. That's true. Shout out Igrit. That was a girl's name.
unknownWho?
SPEAKER_01Igrit, yeah. Great acting too.
SPEAKER_03You know nothing, John Snow. They got married in real life. Yeah, that was a mistake. What? Oh, you an actor, so you know. What do you mean? They were acting partners. You think that's a bad thing?
SPEAKER_01No, no, no. That happens, but that's like that's because you're working together. You're doing kissing scenes and sex scenes. And if you're new to the that world, then you know you catch a films. You can't have regular, like, you know, affectionate physical scenes and not, you know, get, you know. Something's gone. Like, there's gonna be some kind of attention. There's no professional movie? It is, but I'm gonna let I'm gonna let you in a little industry secret. Not that I've participated, but like, you know, a lot of times to build up that chemistry, these people do deal with each other. Oh, like outside of this is why they end up in relationships a lot of times. And they do. And then it breaks off after a while. You know, you have um Angeline Jolene and Brad Pitt when they did Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They got married after that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that was a sexy movie.
SPEAKER_01You know what I'm saying? And then we have um uh what's your Spider-Man's name again? Tom Holland and um Zendaya and Zendaya, you know, it's you're you're working with someone regularly, and then you know, feelings are gonna get caught, you know what I mean? And sometimes again they they advise them. Y'all should probably Toby McGuire and um and uh Kirsten Dunst, the worst and everything ever. Um Yeah, it happens all the time.
SPEAKER_03So and and Garfield, then I think his uh counter star too. Garfield? Andrew Garfield?
SPEAKER_01Andrew, yeah, probably and Emma Stone. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they had a little flanging.
SPEAKER_03You know, it's funny, the only Spider-Man, I even want to say this because it's like is it really fair? And this is like I don't like to dunk on black men, but the only Spider-Man that did not get with his co-star was the black guy, Miles.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but he was wildin' too. Like again, I I just had this conversation with someone recently. Like, you have to have self-respect where if you're attempting to talk to a woman or young lady, as soon as she gives you the like there's a certain there's a difference between like stop, like I'm sorry, I want you to chase, and then there's like a uh dog this ain't happening. If you can't sense that and be like, oh, I'm out, yeah, then you're gonna have a problem. You're gonna be doomed because we're gonna go out bad. So now he looks crazy, even though he's a great actor. I've seen him in uh I seen him in um what was it? Is it that uh Powerbook joint he was in?
SPEAKER_03I don't watch the PowerPoint. He's a good actor, bro. I seen him in um the re the the modern day verse They tried to remake Boys in the Hood. What was the movie called, bro? It was a coming in Vage Black movie. He was the star. Zoe um uh Zoe. Zoe Kravitz was in it, right? I don't remember. But he was he was a star. What's the name of that?
SPEAKER_01He had like a lesbian friend.
SPEAKER_03That was not that was Zoe Kravitz, but he did have a lesbian friend.
SPEAKER_01He was the love interest that he liked. It what? She was the hood girl, the girl in the hood? No, no, remember he was she was dancing in all the park with the long braids. What's the name of that movie? I'm trying to remember, but I know what you're talking about. It was like West Coast, yeah, yeah, coming of Age. Yeah, he's a good actor. That was the first time I saw him, too.
SPEAKER_03He hasn't aged, which is a bad thing for him.
SPEAKER_01Hasn't?
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_01Listen, you gotta live with these powers. He looks like that kid, though. You gotta live with these powers. That's all right. The girl he's chasing is gonna age faster than him. It's fine. He'll be alright. He just needs to like stop being weird about it. And well, when uh when someone gives you a sign, I'm not with it, just leave. She didn't give that. That's Josh Allen's wife.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, she's alright.
SPEAKER_01She spat in what's his name's mouth.
SPEAKER_03She didn't act like that. She didn't act like that with a Michael B. Jordan, though. Chemistry was there. Michael B. Jordan is the live action uh. She's in the MCU too. She plays uh Lady Hawkeye. Yeah? Kate Bishop. That's what's up for her. Yeah. Alright, um, we out of Restorose. Let's head back into the um, what is this, uh, Greek mythology? Is it the Odyssey? Tragedy. The Odyssey.
SPEAKER_01Remera Targaryen. But yeah, the Odyssey. That's um Stop doing that, bro. Greek history. What do you mean? Stop doing what? You watching it happen firsthand. She's horrible right now. Stop. I'm sorry it drags back to Westeros, but like, what are we watching? My dragon is leaving.
SPEAKER_03You can stay here if you want. Your dragon leaves. Yeah, I got a dragon and I'm Of, remember?
SPEAKER_01Oh, you're Of? That's the character I'm shooting. I'm staying.
SPEAKER_03So I get my choose your character. Somebody has to give you one. You gave me Of.
SPEAKER_01So then I didn't give you Oath. You put yourself in Of position and said, I'm not taking a slap. I guarantee you would have ate that slap.
SPEAKER_03Hell no.
SPEAKER_01I would have found that nigga's boot. AG U.
SPEAKER_03You wiped my hands with it.
SPEAKER_01You do. Alright. I'm saying. So then if I'm one of these characters, who am I? I'm gonna let you choose because I don't give you oath. You're definitely more of a Hugh Hammer type. I think we should let the fans decide. Nah, nah. I'm giving you, I'm saying you're Hugh Hammer. And then you can let the fans decide too. But again, I know you I think you're more Hugh Hammer, honestly.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01But I had to give you a character. And you better not say no case for this series. There's insignificant behind dragons. Nah, I would, I would, you're not. If you were um If Jace slaps me, we're fighting on the floor. We end up on the floor fighting in front of his dragon. And I don't need a dragon for that.
SPEAKER_03Who would I give you, man? You're like, um, yo, remember those uh damn. You're like the strong guy that was sleeping with Rhino. Yeah, wow. With a dragon, though. I gotta give you a dragon. He got packed up in his own house. Yeah, he got played. Yeah, bro. He got betrayed by his brother. I would not have touched Rhenira. Nah.
SPEAKER_01I understand that, but nah.
SPEAKER_03Nah, you're like that guy. You like the strong family. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_01No. Now that you be the strong foot.
SPEAKER_03You're physically like the strong family.
SPEAKER_01You should have strong with his cleft foot? No. We ain't got no cleft feet people in my bloodline. The strong family is a guy sitting around the table coming. I don't want to fight.
SPEAKER_03But the but the brother, the guy that Ronero was with. You like him with a dragon. Let's move on. You rather be Christian Cole, nigga? Like, I'm trying to find Christian Cole.
SPEAKER_01I'm trying to find the Brawlic niggas. It's not about size. That's talking about the character of the person. You wild.
SPEAKER_03Coralus, nigga, you bad guy. I'll be cool. Nah, nah, nah. Nah.
SPEAKER_01Because I would have gave you um. Something I wanted to say too. You know, we again, that I love to compare Damon to Coralus because uh one thing, it's and I know it might be because he's black. It's that's the reason. Because if you watch the show, Corless has a lot of major feats. He is unkillable. Yeah. He's always surviving, and he fights hand in hand. Yes. And then when they went through that little pass, that shit was so I got so let me. That was cold, bro. Alright, we out. He Tokyo Drifter. Exactly. And people just give they give him no credit. He's just a bad dad. He's black. I'll take Corless. You Coralus with a dragon, though. I gotta give you a dragon. Just give me a fleet.
SPEAKER_03Nah, you need a dragon. Come on. That guy was the richest ever. Yo. Man, it's a Musa. That's who he is. Alright. Make that movie. We in the Odyssey now, man. We in um Oh yeah, that's this weekend. This is the weekend. So I've been seeing the early reports. It's not getting mixed reviews. It's getting good reviews. Because uh Day of Disclosure, Disclosure Day, I got mixed reviews. This is getting good reviews. The one thing that I'm seeing though, which I might fall victim to this, you have to watch it in the 70s I ain't doing all that. Because they're saying it's there's too much visually. And you know there's only like six theaters that show, and uh, I think New York only has one, I think. They want the money, man. I hate when they're gonna be. I watched Sinners in that in that format, so I I do believe the hype a little bit. Did it enhance the story? No. Alright. There was just certain shots that was breathtaking because of that. So, but like you're right. You lost your breath for a fear of speech. I'm asking all like these shit. No chess? I don't even know if I can do that. You're a good actor. So that's my only uh hang up on it. I I would maybe I I gotta watch it twice. Yeah, but I'm definitely gonna watch it. And I'll review it here. It's supposed to be a long movie, like two hours and change. Um, yeah. And I'm looking forward to it. It has too many big actors, too many big names to fail, but disclosure day.
SPEAKER_01They don't have the name, I don't think their names were as big. Lupita and Yangle. Yeah, she plays uh Helena Freud. A lot of people my name. Something Patterson. He's gonna be in it. Yep. Tom Holland.
SPEAKER_03You know the goats there. Tom Holland's there.
SPEAKER_01He's in there. Um anyway, uh what's this person's name? Who chopped off their chest? Um used to be uh Shadow Cat. Yes. Shadow Cat and uh X-Men.
SPEAKER_03Oh, um my son. I forgot. I forgot. I shouldn't have laughed at that. I forgot.
SPEAKER_01My son is crazy. Something Page. Yeah, Paige. Oh, that might not be Eric, Eric Page. Eric Page. I believe so. Alright, yeah, they're gonna be in it. And then you got Odysseus that's played by Mad Damon. Mad Damon as Odysseus. Who plays uh the mother again?
SPEAKER_03Oh, um Sharice Steron, I think. No, no, no, it's not her, it's um the girl um look at the cat. The the the the catwoman. Catwoman. The the one of the greatest aging white women of all time, pretty sure. Scarlet Ranzer? No, the other one. The the the brunette.
SPEAKER_00Come on, bro. The greatest aging white woman.
SPEAKER_03Elite milk, bro.
SPEAKER_01Elite milk.
SPEAKER_03So it's like oat milk at this point.
SPEAKER_01Oh, and how can't believe I forgot. You were right. Yes. Elliot Page.
SPEAKER_03Tom Holland.
SPEAKER_01Elliot Elliot.
SPEAKER_03Oh, Elliot, my fault. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Elliot and Wansi. Oh, my boy um John Barenthal.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's gonna drop his famous line. He's gonna be telling Menelaus. Odysseus is coming back.
SPEAKER_01Menelao is yeah, yeah. Menelaus is um the big dude from Troy. The one who lost his wife. So that was Lupita Yango is Helen. Helen who was stolen from him. Uh Charlie Starron's gonna play Calypso. Um Calypso. I'm yeah, Calypso.
SPEAKER_03That's a black character. Nah, I don't know, right? That's right, why?
SPEAKER_01Hemish Patel is gonna be Yuri Lokis. Yuri Locus. Alright, Elipia Yango, hell in the true.
SPEAKER_03We're about to see Tom Holland and um what's his name? Patterson. They're gonna share a lot of scenes together. I'm really happy for that.
SPEAKER_01We're gonna see it about, we're gonna see who's really out there.
SPEAKER_03Nah, because they've done it before. They have good chemistry. That was then, this is now. Even though Tom mopped him up the first one. Yeah? Yeah. But honestly, it's because um, and I like Patterson, but he he's actually a very good accent guy, but for some reason, the Southern accent, he just couldn't do it. In uh this movie that they have on Netflix, that one of the one of the few films that Tom Holland had to be like an actual actor. Um it was it was good. Yeah, because the rest is like Spider-Man stuff. Spider-Man. What do you mean? I don't know, I'm just listening. Yeah, he got to show off his chops. Yeah. I don't know what you're getting at. But um I don't like your face.
SPEAKER_01You know, my guy Toby Maguire is done in quite a few films and has crushed it. Oh, Toby Maguire is a good actor. Alright.
SPEAKER_03Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01I never You think I have something against Toby. I never said that. I just brought up the fact that Toby Maguire is an exceptional actor. Yeah. You agreed and I said okay. All right, cool. Moved on.
SPEAKER_03Tom Holland's an exceptional actor. He doesn't get enough credit from certain people. Tom Holland's an exceptional actor, too. Go ahead. Well, uh-huh. Go ahead. No problem. To each their own. Yes, no problem. To each their own, like Charlie's. I see what you did there. Alright. Um, yeah, they're gonna share a lot of scenes together. I'm I'm I can't wait for that. Um, yeah, I just I'm just happy, man. It's a great story, one of the greatest stories of all time.
SPEAKER_01Listen, I got I'm gonna let you know right now, Troy's in my top five. So that was that was uh, you know, um a part of the the Odyssey, not really about the Odyssey. Yeah, and it's like a side story, yeah. It's just it's a side story, yeah. It's a big story though, yes. So we gotta see if they can come close to what Troy was as a film, not the story because the Odyssey is different, but I want to see if they can match with P uh Wolfgang Peterson and what they did. Because they outside of Brad Pitt, again, I hate when people destroy the lore and they come back like, oh, by the way, I didn't even try. Now I look at it, I'm like, yeah, you definitely didn't try. But the point is, if they can match that film, because that's a timeless film. When's the last time you watched it?
SPEAKER_03Uh not since I've been an adult, not since I've been 30. Yeah, you gotta you gotta go back and watch.
SPEAKER_01No, it's a good movie. Maybe I'm biased. Phenomenal film. Eric Banner as Hector, Masterful. The difference between him and um Orlando Bloom as Paris, and then you had uh uh Brad Pitt as Achilles, all these and the way they wrote it, it was like there's perspectives, which I like, and which has become a new thing where it's like, oh, these are the bad guys. Not really, I understand where they're coming. These are the good guys. Uh I can see how they're wicked. There's a third party. No, they're not good or evil, but I can see them being good at that's what that was one of my favorite films for that reason. Oh, the nuance of it. Exactly the nuance of it. Because it's more realistic. That's how the world works. Exactly how the world works. You know what I'm saying? Obviously, there's an overarching good, which is at the end of the day, the wickedness here was that Paris went and took someone's wife. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you can't do that. That was stupid.
SPEAKER_03Can I tell you can I tell you something about the Odyssey that's either gonna hurt or help the film? What's that? You named off a lot of actors, but you missed one.
SPEAKER_00Who?
SPEAKER_03Travis Scott?
SPEAKER_00Travis Scott?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00The rapper.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Who's he playing?
SPEAKER_03I don't know.
SPEAKER_01I didn't see it on the list.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he's in that movie, though.
SPEAKER_01They had him, they must have had him low. What's his real name real? Oh, Travis Scott is really there.
SPEAKER_03What in the world? Oh, I thought that was the name of the character he was playing. Really there? I was like, Who the fuck is really there? That's funny.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Travis Scott. Yo, I gotta see what they do with him. Yeah. Give him one line, is he a slave? I wanna see, I'm saying, are they gonna make him a slave? He's gonna be a soldier. Sure?
SPEAKER_03I have no idea.
SPEAKER_01I have no expectation. Corey Hawkins, who's this again? He's a black, he's a black brother too.
SPEAKER_03Travis. Oh, yeah, he's a new actor. Alright.
SPEAKER_01Travis. I'm looking forward to it, though. I don't know if I'm gonna see it at some point.
SPEAKER_03I cannot wait. I'm gonna see it at some point. Yeah, but uh, I cannot wait. Alright, let's uh get into Anime Corner real fast. I got two uh two things I want to mention in the anime corner. We're gonna go to uh Kanoha. I don't like the way you said that. Yo, they're making a live action Naruto movie. I did it on purpose. Um yeah, they're making a live action Naruto movie, and um I think this is uh GR's time. All the Dragon Ball Z fans out there, we had to go through this. We had our live-action Dragon Ball Z movie, and it was god-awful, one of the worst movies of all time. Um, because certain things just don't need to be live action, and Dragon Ball Z was one of them. How are you feeling about the GR? Actually, the guy that made um Spider-Man, the I think the New Day one. No, not the new one, one of the Spider-Man movies, the newer ones. Yeah, he's gonna be the um the director, and he's doing a global search for uh Naruto and Sasuke uh as we speak. Now, before you answer, let me preface this by saying Netflix made a live action one piece show. It's a show, and I'm not gonna lie to you, it's not bad. So I not good, it's not great, and maybe because I'm not as like One Piece is not my thing, maybe that's why I could look at it and be like, oh, this is this is this is cool. Yeah. As opposed to if One Piece was something I really cared about, maybe I wouldn't like it. But it's it's doing well across the board. Like people are watching it, so that doesn't always dictate things. The Dragon Ball Z movie people did not watch and it was bad. Came out like what, oh one? Yeah, early 2000s, mid-2000s.
SPEAKER_01And then the things they did were just anyway.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, the the the choices that they made was nuts. I'm surprised you acknowledged it. Yeah, I have to. You don't have to. I mean, we're professionals.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna turn my back on that movie.
SPEAKER_03But it's your turn now.
SPEAKER_01So tell me how you feel. Like, I'll tell you this. What was your response? If they had the director and the graphics team of Kung Fu Hustle, they could pull it off. Really? If you go back and watch Kung Fu Hustle, um, they quiet is kept. If you go back and watch Kung Fu Hustle, and it was a c it was a comedy, but they pulled off a lot of like graphic feats that could be some anime type stuff. Okay. If you go back and watch, like they had these two twins attack the two masters were from that village, and they were using the strings to like shoot uh um swords and even the fighting scene with the guy who had all the bands. It it could be done. Okay. Yeah, the guy jumping around, stomping everyone's feet. It's possible, and that was graphics from what 200 maybe seven?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Eight? So would you do it better now?
SPEAKER_03Would you want it to be more uh anime slash manga accurate, or would you want them to have more of liberties? Because like bring it down.
SPEAKER_01Okay, where would you want the story to begin and end? I would want to start uh with team seven being assembled. Okay, and doing some missions. One particular mission, uh maybe the Zabuza story or something. That's a good that's a good one. Um maybe even uh Orochimaru coming in somewhere. Do they tell give you any idea about the plot? Nothing at all. Just Naruto Sase. It's only two characters we even got. Yeah, maybe Team Seven being formed and then them going on missions and um having one particular mission be the highlight, or even if it's a mission that's not really highlighted in the the um in the anime. And then just flesh it out more. Flesh it out more. Okay, cool. So you're not like against this, you you're all for it. I'm not in control of it. But what I would tell them is go look at Kung Fu Hustle, okay. Look at what they did, what they were able to do at that time with graphics, with the production, with the storytelling, and apply it to this and just swoop it up. It's it's doable. You can make a million Naruto's, um, you know, shadow clones, you can make a Chidori. It's not impossible. There's people who are who are using AI to create this stuff. Of course. And it's looking pretty clean. Yes, I agree. Let's see what happens.
SPEAKER_03Alright. Um, staying in the realm of anime corner. Well, uh, this is anime-ish. Um, sights and sounds from DreamCon. So DreamCon, yeah. For those of you that aren't familiar, because I wasn't familiar, because uh this new convention stuff, you know, when we were coming up in this space, the only one we ever heard of was Comic-Con, and I was kind of like, is that a space for me? I never really I always I will still go to Comic-Con. I don't want to say I would not, but when I was growing up, I never looked at it like, oh, this is a space for me. For whatever reason, I'm gonna tell you why. It's because of the pigment on my skin. But DreamCon seems to be Foo Boo. Can you hit the womp, womp, womp this? Absolutely. All my life I had to fight. But yeah, uh DreamCon uh is more FUBU. It's by the good fellas at RDC, which stands for something or dreams. Should know that. RDC World One, you talking about? Yeah. So it's them. Oh, they're black. Yeah, yeah. They have like one, I think, uh, brown guy, but they're they're saying it's a black group. And they uh started this convention for blurred and nerds, they're not excluding people of non-color, but you know, it's for us by us. So, you know, it's gonna be more inclusive. And I've seen it all over social media. I think it takes place in Houston, Texas. I think one of I think the first one might have taken place in Waco, where they're from. I think they're from Waco, Texas, but Houston's a bigger city, obviously. So from 99% of the stuff I've seen, it seems pretty fun. Um it's very risque, I would say. Not saying why I just I don't know if it's just because uh black people are just more voluptuous. But you're gonna say something else. No, we you know, we we that. Um so a lot of the a lot of the costumes are revealing where when I went to Brooklyn. If a smaller person would have wore it or a less voluptuous person would have worn it, probably wouldn't be as revealing. So a lot of the costumes are appealing to my eyes. So it's a little bit more, you know, when I see Comic-Con stuff, is it's is I don't see a lot of backside, that's what I'm saying. Dream Con has a lot of backside, which I'm not complaining about.
SPEAKER_01It's one of the selling points for me. I'm never gonna hold that against sisters. Yeah, of course. Or for us, for that matter, just being, you know, naturally more physically. Yeah, just developed, imposing, gifted, uh girthful go with. It's all it's a positive, it is all positive if you want to be you know correct. But the point is, I think that a lot of times, especially with this, it's become another opportunity for people to show off their bodies. Okay, there's millions of characters, and you know, for some reason people choose the ones that um have their cheeks out. Um and like like Halloween, like you know, a lot of these girls are not really Oh, it's my favorite holiday for this exactly. Exactly. They're not really fan, like, oh, I really want to be dressed up as a cat because it's scary. Dress up because you don't put some ears on and wear something scantily clad. Yes. And the same thing, exactly, and the same thing with um like uh DreamCon or other, you know, conventions. You look and the character, they play they putting on, they put their cheeks up. A lot of times it's a hookup, everything's like a hookup culture, even run clubs, but mainly this now has become hookup culture. I feel like there's an element to that, and it kind of takes away from those who are true fans. Um, myself being a uh an OG fan from a kid, drawing and right, you know, those who are like this is like I really enjoy this. And you have people who they're like, when this shuts down, I'm gonna just find something else that I can address. That's the theme I'm starting to see.
SPEAKER_03Gotcha, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_01Talking about the after parties. The after parties, the after events, the stuff that, you know, can't be done in the daylight.
SPEAKER_03Got you. So I do have uh, even though I did not go, and I'm going to go and I'm gonna support you. I don't want you to guys guys to think that we're just sitting here critiquing something that we don't have any business going to, or we we I actually want to have a booth. I want, you know, the casting crew to be able to pull up on us and you know tell us how much we don't know about this, or oh damn, you guys are spot on with this, or nah, let's do some casting real fast. I want all of that. I want all the smoke, I want all the positives. Nah, we don't want the smoke. No, but smoke is positively.
SPEAKER_01We're gonna be in another a foreign city. I don't want to be smoke.
SPEAKER_03No, I don't mean like literal smoke. Oh, okay, okay. Anime smoke. All right. Like when you do a substitution. Still Houston. Yeah, it is true. Yeah. Just being just being out. There's literal smoke there. Yeah. Yeah, we're we're from New York. We don't, you know. Anyways, so but I do have some critiques. Along the lines of what uh GR is talking about, I and I don't want to sound like the old man screaming at the cloud, but I seen too many streamers that have nothing to do with video games, anime, TV, cosplay, nothing. They're literally just there because this is free content. And it's supposed to be a safe place. And what I do really enjoy on which is I hate this phrase because it's it's a woke phrase, but even the body positivity thing. Like I see dudes that are built like me, like they still get to dress up as their characters, where at a Comic-Con they might not have felt comfortable doing that because it's like, nah, this is where people spend $10,000 putting together Gundam suits. Yeah. I could just put on like a Viltimite thing. I don't got the body to be a Vilchamite, but we still gonna take this photo. You know what I'm saying? I respect that. You got you, you don't like you don't you don't think like fat guys should be able to dress up as Vilchamite? I'm saying that.
SPEAKER_01I'm saying, what's his name?
SPEAKER_03Thrag?
SPEAKER_01Nah, not Thrag. Luther? Oh, Lucian? Lucian? He's a per yo. Not even him, the Mexican yo, these guys, they still catch your hands. They have all shapes and sizes of Vilchamites.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Whereas Superman and Saiyans, they don't have that, but you know, it's fine.
SPEAKER_03It's no problem. We're not. We'll do this at the event. Let's let's have these debates at the event. I already know that I'm gonna lose that, but I don't think I saw a lot of Viltimites. You saw them, but they did some more. Oliver was in the bag. It's just like yo. But yeah, it's just it's just so dope. I I love the positivity, but the people that are there for not even nefarious reasons, but you know this is not your bag. Yeah, you know if somebody runs up on you, asks you, yo, who's your favorite mutant, you're gonna be like, uh uh, Spider-Man? Like you'll say the same name, Wolverine. Yeah, Wolverine are like, come on, bro. Like, that's the only thing for me. And the people that are are throwing DreamCon, they can't control that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03So the only way they want that. Yeah, they want that, and I get it, but I just feel like places like Comic Con, they kind of had this like, oh, the nerds go there. Like, I'm not, I'm me who's a basketball guy, I'm not gonna go to Comic Con. But the Dream, the Dream Con one, I see dudes there that are just like legit like C-less rappers walking around like you don't have like the one rap I did see there uh that I'm actually a fan of, Sauce Walker, he has um this stuff all in his music. He showed up in a go a Goku Ghee and was doing the nunchucks. First of all, if you ever mess with nunchucks, those things hurt if you don't know what you're doing. Those if you don't know what you're doing, you get hurt.
SPEAKER_01Trans is no game.
SPEAKER_03So he clearly is a part of it. And if you listen to his music, he has like Street Fighter, Tekken, Dragon Ball Z, all that stuff in his music. Sauce Walker, that's the uh the transsexual dude?
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_01I don't even know who you're talking about. I heard some dude Saucy Walker was supposed to be like a little bit of a. I'm just asking. I'm doing it.
SPEAKER_03Sauce Walker's like a Houston pimp rap.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay. I apologize for Sauce Walker.
SPEAKER_03Nah, nah, he's a he's a good one. I might have mixed you up with something. He's a cool dude. He's a cool dude. But um, nah, pimping is wrong though. But yeah, he like people like him. I can I would love to see a Dream Con. But then there's the dudes that are just like they're walking around not dressed up as anything, wearing chains, and they're just there to because it's a vibe. That's what happened at the Brooklyn um Comic Con.
SPEAKER_01Oh, there's a bunch of dudes there. These guys pulled up like in the corner, like posted up, like trying to like pull. Oh, talk to the girls. They wasn't having it, but it was just like you're always gonna have that, unfortunately. But um, I I think that it really is inauthentic because again, like typically, typically, like if you were in junior high school or elementary school, those are the same guys who was like trying to clown you for you.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like you can't, you're watching Naruto, bro. Yeah, like some hoes, man. Now you out here trying to get the girls who would like that, yeah. But all in all, we will be attending DreamCon. I promise y'all that. And we'll give y'all our personal rendition of it. Hopefully, we're up to snuff that we can actually have a booth. We're gonna make it happen. But even if we don't, we're going regardless. I'm still y'all been thinking about this for days, bro. Who you going as? I don't know yet.
SPEAKER_01Who are you going? I'm gonna assign you someone. I already told you I'm going.
SPEAKER_03Oh, you're going as okay.
SPEAKER_01I have options, but I like uh that might be overdone because everyone's doing it.
SPEAKER_03It's three days, so you might need three different perfect.
SPEAKER_01Day one, I'm pulling up as Toji. I definitely want to pull up as Thrag once, one time for everybody.
SPEAKER_03I can see the thrag. You gonna get a fake mustache or you gonna grow it up?
SPEAKER_01I can't have a mustache and be him and then be thrag, so maybe I do thrag day one, shave my mustache, and I come back as Toji. And then I wanna do um, well not do, but I want to be uh the fourth is it the fourth row what they call game? Oh, okay. Yeah. You're gonna come with the you're gonna come with a missing hand or are you gonna come? Nah, I'm coming whole. Okay.
SPEAKER_03With the pre-Sasuke fight?
SPEAKER_01Pre-Sasuke fight, which was so gangster, bottle. This guy didn't care if he liked it.
SPEAKER_03Sasuke was supposed to die. Sasuke has died twice. Twice. He was supposed to die to him and he was supposed to die to B. B killed him three times in that fight, but let's not get it. Plot armor. Crazy. I like the plot armor though. Made him swish cheese. He had knives everywhere. Yeah, I don't I don't know yet, man. I'm still deciding. Um, but I'm definitely gonna dress up. At least one of the days, at least. But if GR does all three days, I gotta do all three days. Go Hugh, go with you. My bad.
SPEAKER_01Is there a dragon? First name in EC, you gotta slap it. See what happens.
SPEAKER_03Nah, nah, nah, nah. See, nah, I gotta go as um I gotta go with somebody black. Go with tech jacket.
SPEAKER_01Nah, I'm just hating my bad.
SPEAKER_03Nah, I'ma I'ma find something. I'm I'ma do. Oh, why don't we go? You could be killer bee, and I could be curry carrying. Nah, you can be the older nigga. That makes sense.
SPEAKER_01Um, alright. You just messed up a bonding mode.
SPEAKER_03It's all right. I said we could do it.
SPEAKER_01Damn. Um, nah, because I wanna do like I want Toon to go with it. Nah, Tune has to come with it. Nah, you gotta go with um, what's that guy's name? Die? With the laser, laser circus.
SPEAKER_03Oh, okay. Yeah, we pull up the three of them. It's gonna be tough. Yeah, nah, we can do it. We can do it. You gotta die as it drives. We can do it, we can do it, we can do it. Nah, he could be a lot of Targaryen characters too. I think we should do like an uh anime. One day we do an anime, one day we do a comic, like comic characters, and then maybe like we do movies or TV. Because it's not just it's it's all fandom. Yeah, it's all fandom. This John Wick, people could go dress up as characters from John Wick. Yeah, yeah. It's it's all a fandom. Alright.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03But um, I think we did it, man.
SPEAKER_02We did.
SPEAKER_03I think we did it. Um, casting crew, as always, make sure you share this video. You know, give us some suggestions. Maybe, maybe one of the days we let the casting crew pick who we are that day. And we gotta dress up whatever they decide. Whatever they decide. Nah, I don't know if I'm giving that power. You see, you see, this is the reason why I'm not doing it. Y'all don't vote or anything. That's not their fault. We gotta talk to our social media guy, don't worry. But yeah. He's defending y'all. Yeah, I I got to. Yeah, I got to. But um, you guys have been great. I hope we do uh uh uh the all these shows and things service so you guys keep coming back and watching us. And you know, we appreciate you guys. Always that ninth subscriber, you're the goat, man.
SPEAKER_01We appreciate it.
SPEAKER_03Bring the 10th, and that's how it goes. Uh GR, take us out, brother.
SPEAKER_01God bless, Godspeed, and that is a wrap.
