We share our thoughts on the animality features and reveal our favorite characters, while discussing how the timeless violence and intricate storylines continue to impact fighting games like Street Fighter and Tekken. Plus, we tackle the Screen Actors Guild strike and speculate on AI technology's future influence on video game development.

But beginning today's show, talk about Mortal Kombat at EVO revealed a new DLC pack. Mr Amazing, let's go straight into the trailer and see why people are mad. Chaos is back, mr Amazing. Immortal combat oh sorry, amazing. In Mortal Kombat, this new Havoc is different from oh sorry, it's Havoc. Sorry, my bad, you're getting gays mixed up.
Speaker 2:buddy, I'm getting gays mixed up. Let real warriors handle this.
Speaker 1:Uh-oh, I say, side rack is changed. They made. People are mad about the armor way of design.
Speaker 2:I don't know if they're mad because they're females but Probably a little bit of both, probably a little bit of both.
Speaker 1:Probably a little bit of both, but I like the design personally.
Speaker 2:I like it too. I'm not familiar with these characters, but I like them so far.
Speaker 1:Mr May is not a big Mortal Kombat fan, more of a Street Fighter. Dude. Chaos and Mortal Kombat. Still violence, ever guys. That's never gonna change and more combat. Still violence, ever guys, the way was a perfect. It may be better boy squirt, do you like?
Speaker 2:Scorpio. I used to play with him Him and Sub-Zero and Reptile. Those were my three tops.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know you remember Reptile. Those were my three tops. Reptile, you know Raiders at the main was the character in this game. He's not no. Who is not no? Who is now Luan Liu Kang? Liu Kang, sorry, it's the Luan Liu Kang. We hit a kick. Butt. This is chaos, rain, chaos, reign. But do you like scary movies? I have no idea why Ghostface gave Ghostface killers in this.
Speaker 2:I bet you they're going to make it nice to watch. That's who I like, t-1000. That's my guy, conan, and Barbara Arnold's getting paid. Oh yeah, you got to cut a big check to get Arnold in there.
Speaker 1:And T there, september 24th.
Speaker 2:So we got a month and change.
Speaker 1:Yeah, now they also have animal frontalities. Animality, animality. Close enough, mr Amazing, close enough, very bloody. Yes, I see you getting killed by.
Speaker 2:My thing is all the characters I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm just wondering. I think all the characters have it. You got the hungry hippo eating you up.
Speaker 2:It's crazy because you got T-Rex. What I like about it so far is from the Animality Everybody has it. It resembles the characters. You know characters' strengths.
Speaker 1:Prey Manson is getting busy. Animality, finish him.
Speaker 2:Give me more comeback to think of that and also new skins. I'm surprised my nephew didn't tell me nothing. He's a big Mortal Kombat guy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, but I mean, what do you think of it?
Speaker 2:I like it. I like it. I like the new characters that they introduce. I like the animality. I rock with this. I'm not mad at this they introduce. I like the animality. I rock with this. I'm not mad at this at all.
Speaker 1:I think Mortal Kombat has one of the better storylines in fighting games. Tech has also improved with their storylines for fighting games as well. You know Street Fighter, you know Street Fighter, Street Fighter, you know what I'm saying, and most people don't play fighting games for the story, but it's also. You're paying 70 bucks. It's also a good add-on as well. No, of course You're paying 70 bucks, so I think that's pretty good.
Speaker 2:You know it's funny because you said most people don't pay fighting games for the storyline but surprisingly they do because the storyline is very in-depth. For each individual character storyline, I feel like you're immersing that character a little bit more.
Speaker 1:Oh yes, especially when your character is killed over, they come back. How, how is that possible? That is true too. How is that possible, mr Amazing? But, mr Amazing, let's go on to our next story. In this, mr Amazing, there's a strike going on. Mr Amazing, I know people are speculating this might affect the video game industry in a big way. I know people are speculating this might affect the video game industry in a big way. The Stream Actors Guild has striked for the video game union. They are going off, mr Amazing. Because of what, mr Amazing? I believe it's the AIs. Ais that come for all of us, mr Amazing.
Speaker 1:They're taking over. Soon they'll replace me and you, Mr Amazing, I know man.
Speaker 2:Somebody will be using my voice to do this show soon.
Speaker 1:I know man, shoot, I might do the Pistomace Night here. Will Smith tried to warn us on iRobot. Man, I know man, I told you, man, I told you, I don't trust no robots, yo, yo. And Terminator, terminator 2. They did original Warners Yo AI could come for us a long time. Remember they were saying they did what's the Xbox thing? It was the.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, I'm going blank. The Kinect, the Kinect, here you go. They had a lawsuit which was pretty much accurate. They were listening to us.
Speaker 1:So the actors are saying that the video game actors' motion capture artist's likeness can be manipulated by AI and can be used without the consent of these workers and not get it compensated?
Speaker 2:That's not cool and by all means they should go on strike.
Speaker 1:And no, ai don't need a union. Ai don't ask for vacation, ai don't get hurt, ai voice don't get you know, say a horse.
Speaker 2:I need some water.
Speaker 1:Nope, they don't care, mr Amazing. Well, they do break down, though Eventually they will break down. And we'll just make another one, and better. You know that's how it is. I mean, mr Amazing. We support you actors because I do believe that sometimes companies are getting out of control with AI and thinking they're replaceable for human beings. Yeah, we see it.
Speaker 2:We see it. We see it in the real world. Fast food, video games now it's everywhere, we're fine.
Speaker 1:Remember they would say they wouldn't unionize extra pay for fast food workers. Man, those chaos, what do you call those Chaos? Yeah, that thing came up with the mighty quickness I know Like yo. Yeah, we were.
Speaker 2:Fasten and build the wall, you'll get better wages. We're going to fire half the workers, yeah, so We'll have three people getting better wages there.
Speaker 1:So it's just amazing. You know what I'm saying, because we do to make more money for the top people on top. You know what I'm saying. So, yo, you're getting actors, we support you, the Gamer Trav show, we got you son. That's damn skippy, but you know, not too hard. You still got to go back to work. But Mr Amazing, also Mr Amazing, as you know, july 29th was the official death of Xbox Game Market. Many games went on sale between 80% and 90% off. One more time, this moment of silence, moment of silence. We spoke about that last show.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:We got to get a moment of silence. We spoke about that last show.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we got to get a moment of silence. Man get a moment of silence Last time. You see no silence, mr Amazing. It's been over. It's disrespectful, it's been over.
Speaker 1:It's been over. I don't know, mr Amazing. Let's go to the next topic. Mr Amazing, s&k, capcom announced it. Guess what, mr Happen? What day it launched On the Xbox? No, they asked what day it launched Actually. No, it didn't launch on the Xbox.
Speaker 2:It launched that day? Oh yes, since we did it launch. Oh yeah, it did launch. Yeah, on the 24th.
Speaker 1:On the PS4 PC and the Switch, mr Mason.
Speaker 2:And Steam.
Speaker 1:And Steam and Steam. Well, pc Steam, we can say that. But, mr Mason, physical copies are going to come out. You can pre-order now. Limited run at Pixel Love games are going to be distributed. So, mr Mason, are you pumped at 36 fighters? I'm going to get the physical copies, mr Mason. Well, I've reached the download and actually discussed it. We'll see, mr Amazing. But Mr Amazing's not excited about it. But I'm going to make Mr Amazing excited about going to whoop his butt in that game so he can get better.
Speaker 2:It's only good you might actually get a win off me.
Speaker 1:Oh, thank God, yo I don't see you coming for a Tekken title. You didn't come for you got to play Street Fighter, wow. So you know what I'm saying. I'm about to bust your butt in Street Fighter. Put my cameo on you, bro. I'm always ready for that. Yo, I got Bison son, I got him too.
Speaker 2:Oh, you got him too. You got the other package, I got everybody, you got everybody. Yeah, all right, you know me, I keep up to date and also, you get all the cards, miss.
Speaker 1:Maynard thought they were going to come out with DLC. They ain't coming out with goddamn DLC.
Speaker 2:Nah, nah, you're right, it's more like are they going to come out with Part 3?
Speaker 1:And it's like I said, this is actually a physical game that is not copied on your PlayStation, nintendo. This is actually a game that you're going to have on physical period son period.
Speaker 2:That's good, though. I mean, yeah, they went back to 2003 Remastered and I think it was a good game back then. I thought it would definitely be a good game now, but I'm surprised you wasn't into it. I wasn't big into it, though, man. And I like SK and you know I love Capcom. But I just I don't know.
Speaker 1:I just didn't get into that one. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So even the Marvel vs Capcom. I think they were cool but I wasn't like I gotta get it. But I played them. I thought you was into Marvel vs Capcom. I play it, I play it, but like I, I guess I just I like a little bit more when it's like because what it is? That you're incorporating two different fighting, different styles into one game and then the fighting is not as precise as when it's just that one brand.
Speaker 1:No, but SNK and Capcom fit.
Speaker 2:It does. It fits a little bit better. It fits a little bit better.
Speaker 1:Because the Street Fighter cast, but the one that was confusing. Think of it.
Speaker 2:Which one, the Mortal Kombat versus the? Street Fighter versus Tekken oh, that one, oh yeah, that's two different that was, I have it, that was 2D versus 3D. Practically what are we playing in, you know.
Speaker 1:I mean, it posts you a part too, but that's. I don't think that's ever gonna happen yeah, I know, I remember that too you know that's never gonna happen. And they made Mega man Look so whack. I remember why they made him so whack. Just keep it to the character. I remember why, son, why, breaking grown man's dreams Looking at Mega man Looking like a fat slob?
Speaker 2:I know that's what happens when you try to Please both worlds.
Speaker 1:Who idea was that? I'm gonna slap you? It's the same idea. When people put A Sonic movie with the teeth, they got rid of the damn teeth. Somebody should have told don't do that crap. No, ridiculous, mr Mason. Ridiculous, you know so. Anything else you want to say about this topic, mr Mason? Nah, but, mr Mason, any fighting games you would like to see come back what fight again would I like to see come back?
Speaker 2:uh well, I did get. We got snippet of a new um King of Fighters oh, oh, that's the game. Yes, I mean, I'm hyped for that, but they still didn't give a release?
Speaker 1:I don't. I don't know if they did, I'd miss that, but let's make up a diction. I think it'll come out in January that's about right.
Speaker 2:I kind of like that time frame I think I like it right after the holidays, right after the holidays towards the end towards the end of January, boom I like that time frame.
Speaker 1:We'll hit you with it.
Speaker 2:Son, we'll hit you with it but that is definitely a game I'd love to see come back you know.
Speaker 1:So also, what do you think about 9 games? It's coming out. It's coming out this year. Uh, the new dragon ball. Oh, I did we call zero.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we did see that one that looks that's cool. We're big dragon ball people here, so yeah, that that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I ain't gonna lie with my butt in dragon ball with that freaking, it wasn't poorly. So you know, say, well, we, anytime we could do the rematch, so we'll we get back. Oh, but I'm gonna get that. So that's been interesting. It puts out over 100 characters, wow so. But you know, it'd be like 12 different Vegeta variants and Goku variants.
Speaker 2:There's like a thousand different Vegeta variants and Goku variants and Gohan's, you know Trunks, so they'll probably have them. If it was 100 characters, it'd be like 30. Yes, yes, yes. One more game I would like to see come back that I thought was kind of cool. It's not an actual, it is a fighting game, but it's not like a typical fighting game. It would be Def Jam. I always thought they should make a brand new one of that it was still.
Speaker 1:I wanted to buy it, but it's so damn expensive. I know it's 200 bucks in some places. I know I should have bought one that was $100.
Speaker 2:I know, but that would be good. Imagine playing that on a new generation, and you know that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 1:But the game I was able to get for PS1 is Bloody Roar 2. I thought it was fun. I got that. I have that.
Speaker 2:That was definitely fun, we could play that.
Speaker 1:So you know what I'm saying. That would be great to have that big a comeback it concept and you know what I'm saying something different that'd be school rivals school rivals yes that'd be good. That game's worth like 200 bucks people want for wow and I was at a gaze. I've attempted to buy that one. It was 150. I said y'all should buy it because it's best actually a bargain most places compared to what you just told me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you know what I'm saying, but, mr mason, the amazon fire stick, mr Mason, our next topic, mr Mason, as we talked about on the previous podcast, the Amazon Fire Stick that comes with the Xbox gaming app was sold out. Mr Mason, was sold out. Xbox is going to give it to you. It's going to give it to you. And who's laughing now? People? Amazon but as I checked today, it's back in stock, mr Amazing, okay you know what this reminds me of?
Speaker 2:When the fire sticks couldn't, they couldn't hold them because people were out. Of you know I'm not promoting it, but we're promoting it, go ahead. When people were buying fire sticks left and right because they were cracking them to get With everybody knows about this, but we don't need to pretend like we were there. If you couldn't keep those fire sticks, they were still like hotcakes. So, amazon, you know they're still like hotcakes again because of the Xbox partnership now, yes, so it's a good thing for both.
Speaker 1:It's a win-win for both sides it's more money, more money, both parts yeah, so here you go.
Speaker 2:All you need is a nice, good controller. You're good to go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, xbox controller green, red, purple, whatever. Remember when you had it.
Speaker 2:One thing is that, like, my only thing with this is that aren't you hurting your hardware, but we need to discuss that.
Speaker 1:How we advertise for holidays, I don't even know, man, because they're posting on new systems.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they got the new variations coming out with a little bit of a facelift to it yeah, bigger memory, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1:You know advertising that, but then you hear you go.
Speaker 2:You don't need a dance system, you can just build an Amazon stick for $50.
Speaker 1:Why are you why pay $400 son $200?
Speaker 2:yeah, so I'm like I don't know man, I the marketing is very tricky to me that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:How do you market it? That's what I'm saying, hey the marketing is tricky.
Speaker 2:I guess if you're a hardcore fan, you're going to get it regardless. But if I'm a fan of the Xbox, I'm just like, eh, I'll just get a fire stick and just play the games I want to play.
Speaker 1:Which is true, but you got Game Pass.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Game Pass, you can play whatever I want Play whatever you want.
Speaker 1:So all right, mr Amazing, let's go to our Trail of the week. Is what, mr Amazing?
Speaker 2:Borderline, borderline okay, yes, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1:That's what I thought. Alright, mr Amazing, guys everywhere, here we go for another trailer. Two trailers in one show.
Speaker 2:Mr Amazing, let's hit it you've come in search of the secret, lost vault of PANG this is the final trail, Mr Amazing.
Speaker 1:There you go, Kevin Hart.
Speaker 2:If the legends were true, I'm the only one who can open the vault.
Speaker 1:Applaud, oh Jack Black. That voice sounds familiar. What's his name? Jamie Lee or Jamie Lee Curtis? Jamie Lee Curtis, it's in my mouth Boom. How are we gonna get through this?
Speaker 2:Boom, boom I didn't adapt to it.
Speaker 1:Mr Amazing Boylands, the movie Mr Amazing, the final trailer. Should we green light it, red light it, or y'all like this one.
Speaker 2:I'm going to green it. I think it's kind of cool. It's not bad.
Speaker 1:It's not bad, I'll give it a chance. I was kind of pumped up for the first trailer. It's coming out August 6th, august 9th I mean August 9th, sorry, august 9th. Tickets on sale now. Unfortunately, it's going up against Deadpool that's what I was going to say and Wolverine. So I mean, if you didn't see Deadpool vs Wolverine, which we both didn't see, I plan to see it this week.
Speaker 2:Yes, likewise.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's amazing.
Speaker 2:It's going to be about a three-week window by the time it drops. No, it's the second week of Wolverine, right? No, it's the second week Next week. Because, it's Friday coming up.
Speaker 1:According to this podcast, next week it starts.
Speaker 2:So then a two-week window will have it on it. Two-week window yeah, it's not good.
Speaker 1:Hey, it's what they do. I'll greenlight it for people. If you always saw the Wolverine and Deadpool movie Wolverine and Deadpool If you didn't, yo light it.
Speaker 2:I think they're probably going to bank. Oh, we got stars, we got Kevin Hart, we got Jimmy Lee Curtis. I think maybe they might bank on that. Maybe that might be there. Whoa, we got somebody that might light it up.
Speaker 1:No, that ain't enough.
Speaker 2:It, but it's not strong enough.
Speaker 1:No, no of course it's not. It's not strong enough. Yo, you need more people son, that ain't happening.
Speaker 2:I'm not into me at all.
Speaker 1:But, mr Basin, so, like I said, I greenlight it. If you didn't see Deadpool, wolverine, I'll greenlight it. I'm with you.
Speaker 2:I'm with you on this one too, If you haven't seen Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 1:Yo yo like yo like yo like yo, like saying you give the same opinion with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I 100% agree because it's going up against a very big juggernaut right now and then for already moving. I think it set a record right For the most.
Speaker 1:I told you, I told you, mr Weiss, mike, mike says you right again. Go on the mic and say, mike, you are right again it did well.
Speaker 2:We want to hear you. I think I agree with you on this one.
Speaker 1:No, you didn't agree with me.
Speaker 2:No, you didn't agree with me, you didn't agree. No, mr Mason. No, you did not. You did not agree with me.
Speaker 1:You said no, no, he didn't agree.
Speaker 2:We can go back to the tape.
Speaker 1:Ask the man for my damn wings. You don't have a case of this. I want my damn wings. I want my damn wings. I think.
Speaker 2:I agree with you on this one. I want my damn wings that I do owe All right, make sure you have my damn wings.
Speaker 1:We lost that bet. Damn Pete's game, god damn it. Damn, shame yourself, mr Amazing. Alright, mr Amazing, let's go to our next topic. Mr Amazing, yes, sir, we'll go to, should we care? Topic of the week Mr Amazing, what's that? Playstation VR 2, mr Amazing, that's the hardware that went slashing prices. Even the PlayStation Slim is slashing prices, mr Amazing, wow me 25 cents. But, mr Amazing, yeah, yo, the PlayStation VR, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2:That is a hard slash.
Speaker 1:Yo, it got a slash bro.
Speaker 2:What's the slash though?
Speaker 1:Yo $349.
Speaker 2:What was the regular price? What's in it?
Speaker 1:It cost $600.
Speaker 2:That's a good slice then.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:That's worth buying now, I feel, I think we're buying now.
Speaker 1:You're getting it?
Speaker 2:No, you're not going to get it still. No, no, no, it's a good slash though.
Speaker 1:No, no, no.
Speaker 2:You think it'll go lower than that by the holiday?
Speaker 1:No, that's what. Do you go $250?.
Speaker 2:No, no, like a $50 office, a sell price, not a permanent slash a sell price for a holiday, yeah, but it's right for the holiday.
Speaker 2:So hold on, continue, continue. Maybe $300. That wouldn't be a bad price At $300, I think the numbers will move. And plus, remember, it came out on the PC. So, being that it dropped on the PC, I guess that helped it. And with that, why not? But, mike, knowing you, you're going to get that hardware. I might even get a sleepwear, mr Mason. You are right, mr Mason, of course. Ladies're right, mr Mason, of course, ladies and gentlemen, mike Sampson has a PSVR 2, yo, when'd you get it, did you recently?
Speaker 1:I got it two days ago.
Speaker 2:I heard it was on sale.
Speaker 1:Why about the first?
Speaker 2:VR. You haven't opened it yet, yo.
Speaker 1:Nah, I was trying, because it's too late now I was going. It's too late now I'm doing a podcast. I wanted to do it with you. That's pretty cool though. I know you're on vacation this week, so I have four games.
Speaker 2:What have you got?
Speaker 1:for so far. I got the Transformer game on it.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:I got Switchback.
Speaker 2:Okay, and the?
Speaker 1:Horizon. I ain't paying $59 for Horizon. I would get it, but I want to buy a couple of games, so it was a couple of games I would have for it, so it was like four games.
Speaker 2:I know we spoke about it, I can't remember. Is this wireless?
Speaker 1:I can't remember it's one wire, one, wire one wire this time, oh, okay one wire this time.
Speaker 2:That's pretty cool though, man, I want to check it out.
Speaker 1:I'm actually very curious to this yeah, so when you come back from your mini vacation you can check it out. So you know what I'm saying. See all the great stuff to say about it, because I was like let me go, because that's when the first one came. It was on sale, it was a slash for Chris Holliday.
Speaker 2:MC Choice's Christmas Spectacular starts in July, August.
Speaker 1:Yo, that's what we do, baby, that's it looks good, though I can't front. So I was like I'm not gonna get it For a cheaper price. $350 is good, $350, you know what I'm saying. So I was like I'll maybe get it.
Speaker 2:That's about $100 Every car in the place. Michael, I know that's where you got it through To Florida. I didn't get to do car in the oh word, oh wow, you put it straight out, not bad.
Speaker 1:I ain't got no card.
Speaker 2:Big balling right now, y'all.
Speaker 1:Nah, I ain't got no card Because it's a pain in the neck to go in a car and do that stuff and they don't take Capital One.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:But you know what I noticed Once you change your card let's say you have your credit card and you know you want to lose your debit card you can change it.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, that's what I do. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I do, but, mr Amazing, yes, sir, let's go to our shadow. Oh, hold on, hold on. I said this is our should we care topic. Hold on, should we care a lot or not at all that the PlayStation? Well, I care a lot because I got it think it's a good care.
Speaker 2:I care a lot because that's a big price drop and I care a lot because Sony executives they heard like, yay guys, we need to do something and they took a big chunk so they're at a loss to get the consumers to come and buy and remember this is on PC now, so this is a good way.
Speaker 1:I think it's a good time for people pc people, playstation 5s to get it, and it doesn't cost more than the console exactly, and I guess this way you can push more games for it too now yeah, start dm skippy, and. But remember the last couple months I don't even notice they were having some vr games per year.
Speaker 2:Uh description so you know, I think a spider-man game on the vr would be so dope and they had one.
Speaker 1:It was a crappy one.
Speaker 2:It's a. It was a crappy one.
Speaker 1:It was a basic, one Basic thing. I got dope.
Speaker 2:Spider-Man reveal it would be so nice.
Speaker 1:I saw the NFL football game one there.
Speaker 2:I wasn't, I didn't. It's funny that I got what's his face again.
Speaker 1:Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Lamar.
Speaker 1:Jackson, I thought about it. I said maybe we'll check it out next week, we? Okay, so that's been interesting. But what else, mr Amazing, mr Amazing, to end the show, we're going to have a shout-out of the week. Mr Amazing, you had a shout-out of the week for us.
Speaker 2:I did. What's my shout-out of the week? What's the week? You don't know this. The shout-out of the week is that Wesley Snipe is the longest tenure character, a Marvel character, a Marvel character for Blade. Over yesterday's event, over Mr Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
Speaker 1:Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2:So shout out to Wesley for that, even though Wesley hasn't made a Blade in a God knows how long, though.
Speaker 1:But he's represented for Blade he is, and the Blade movie's been cancelled. I mean not cancelled, but delayed. It's been a long time. That dude's just getting older. My thing is getting older.
Speaker 2:My thing is like I know, I know, how long can you do it, man? My thing is like Even shows like Stranger Things, I see them now and I'm like it's kind of a turn off. These guys look like fucking adults now.
Speaker 1:This is major curse on the show already.
Speaker 2:They look like adults. I'm like this is kind of crazy. But yeah, Wait, we're not going to talk about the one of the biggest things you got to finish the show with that, not with this.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 2:The revealing of the new character. Oh yo, yo, yo yo.
Speaker 1:Back to Marvel.
Speaker 2:Back to Marvel man. You got to finish the show with that man.
Speaker 1:Robert Jr. Robert Downey Jr. Yes, rdj.
Speaker 2:Yes, we'll be playing Dr Doom. Yeah, but there's a lot of criticism out there for that, though. Because, you know who that role was supposed to be? For right, that role was supposed to be for who? Jonathan Majors. Yeah, the King Dynasty.
Speaker 1:But this is what I look at. The Ant-Man movie freaking suck with King Dynasty. No one. They lowered the level, power level down.
Speaker 2:How did Ant-Man, being a goddamn being Mr Cane, dice come on, stop it, stop it no, I understand that, but you're talking about the Marvel aspect, but I'm talking about the real life aspect why people are mad about it, why the real? Life aspect why people are mad about it is that Robert Downey Jr does not have a clean record?
Speaker 1:yes, yeah, but that's years ago.
Speaker 2:It doesn't matter. No, it doesn't matter, because they crucified the man and then they replaced him with someone with the same thing. So I do understand why people are getting mad about it, though but but and remember, he it's not the show for you?
Speaker 1:It's not the show for you. I know it's not for you, but, mr Mazin, yes, you're bringing the bucks in.
Speaker 2:Of course, well, of course, well. Who's the bigger name?
Speaker 1:because of this what we see, what we see in society, absolutely, if you bring the money in, I'm not mad at that. You bring the money in, people will make changes for you. Absolutely, mr Mage, is not that that guy?
Speaker 2:he's not him yes, but that's not. That's not what people and it's and it's recently.
Speaker 1:It's what.
Speaker 2:Marvel said when they replaced him oh yeah because of what happened. They're saying he have his record and blah blah blah. But, then you replace Robert Downey Jr with the same thing, but, like you said, robert Downey Jr is box office.
Speaker 1:So that's why they did that.
Speaker 2:Just keep it real. It's about money. It's all about money Because I guarantee you, if RDJ got in some kind of a trouble similar to what he did, he wouldn't lose Ironman. He would not have lost Ironman. He got a little slap on the back and said all right.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:You think they're going to drop RDJ as Ironman if you got the exact same situation, because his situation wasn't that crazy. If you look at it, it wasn't that crazy.
Speaker 1:How many years ago was it?
Speaker 2:A year ago, a year and a half ago, robert Downey Jr Robert Downey Jr, no, I'm talking about right. This 2023-2024 RDJ did the exact same thing, jonathan.
Speaker 1:Major did, he would not. But the problem is we're going to go more deep. If we go more, we're not going to go more in the deep end, because then it goes off to another thing. We're not going to go into that it goes into we.
Speaker 2:I just don't like the consistency on it.
Speaker 1:It's a time period. I'm sorry, mr May, that goes on with everybody. How many actors have you seen some years ago but make a comeback years later?
Speaker 2:That's fine, that's right. You can make a comeback.
Speaker 1:He's not. May just is not him. Let's just keep it 100. He's not Eddie Murphy. He's not Will Smith, he's not him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but a crazy guy like Will Smith, right? What if Will Smith did something that, oh my God, he got 10-year ban. Did they ban Will Smith from making movies? Let me ask you a question Did they ban Will Smith?
Speaker 1:from making movies. No, you can't ban Smith from making movies.
Speaker 2:But that's what they did. They didn't ban him from making movies. They didn't ban him for a popular movie Not popular.
Speaker 1:They ain't ready for no popular movie he lost out on some roles in the beginning Johnson. Majors yeah, he lost, he got a ban.
Speaker 2:A ban.
Speaker 1:A real, that's a ban. Come on, oh, you can't attend the show. God, the hoops are used to seeing the awards. Exactly, it's not like. You just banned. You just banned, you can't attend the show. Oh, whoopie, damn do.
Speaker 2:No, exactly. But my thing is, you don't have to sacrifice a character who's up and coming to the lab for a mistake. And once again, I'm not justifying what he did, I just I don't think what he did was I mean.
Speaker 1:like I said, I'm not going to justify what he did or what happened.
Speaker 2:It wasn't something crazy, it wasn't something crazy.
Speaker 1:But, like I said, it's more recent and everybody people have recency bias. I agree, I agree with you there.
Speaker 2:I agree with you there, but it is what it is. But shout out to our DJ. I think he'll kill the world regardless.
Speaker 1:But some people do agree that why is he coming back either? It's like come on.
Speaker 2:Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman actually died in Marvel.
Speaker 1:Well, they do, actually, I should say so Iron man is dead, but you're going to have some variant of Iron man playing Doctor Doom. Yeah, so there's. I forgot the name of the titles. He'll be in the Secret Wars, avengers, secret Wars and the what is it? Avenger 5, 6, whatever, you know what I'm saying, but it is what it is. But yo give the shout out of the week. Oh, you already gave the shout out of the week.
