Damnit I threw the Dom Toretto vs. Richard Riddick recommend out there a couple months ago. So close to making the cut. I guess vs Xander Cage is probably about the same
Wow…. It’s a rare privilege to imbibe some content from my favourite comedy/pop culture/social commentary/crime fighting duo that wasn’t posted 2-8 years ago. Not that any of their schtick ever sounds dated. Apparently it’s a double pleasure because the time codes scream all killer, no filler. You’re doing God’s work B. 🤙
Fun Fact: One of the major plot points revolves around getting Leia's lightsaber from Tattooine, effectively having them pull her blue lightsaber from the soil, almost like a harvest (if you will), which is why the working title for this new project is Blue Harvest.
I love how they do a whole bit in the intro about there being a written test that we would have to watch them take in real time as a ridiculous example of something viewers would be put through, as if watching them taken written tests in real time isn't a staple format of their videos
There is a scene in THX-1138 where Robert Duvale spends all day working in a dangerous underground factory, goes to a shop with a bunch of non-descript plastic cubes stacked on the wall. He buys a cube, takes it home and throws it into the disintegrator. Funko saw a business model they could make work!
As the ancient indigenous adage goes, "There are two Pedro Pascals living in each person: One that's a 60-year old murderer, and the other that's a 50-year old alien, who is also 100ft tall..."
Can you imagine how wild it would be doing this with voice actors, who have all played a million characters? Like, imagine Raiden from Metal Gear, Axel from Kingdom Hearts, and Silver the Hedgehog all fighting to the death in a battle royale. Or Rikku from Final Fantasy, Bubbles from PowerPuff Girls, Raven from Teen Titans, and Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony.
*Star lord would use his rocket boots to give Jurassic world guy a flying knee but Jurassic world guy would just raise his hand up and stop Star lord in his tracks.*
You've nearly done it, boys - that Old (Actually 30) Rey caused me to laugh so much I started coughing and choking, nearly died. Not exactly the top of my list for ways to go out, but in the better half, I guess.
I exist in what I like to call a millennial superstate. I have a mortgage and a receding hairline but also spend my days working on a liberal arts degree and eating avocado toast.
This is the Kraven movie I want to see: The Kraven who SquirrelGirl befriends and who helps her save endangered dinosaurs (but also maybe betrays her; he's still a sort of villain). Also, Rhino is becoming more and more interesting as he turns up in other people's stories (he gets involved with younger folks like Miles Morales, and the youngster see a tired old man who just doesn't have any other way to make money. They get to know his domestic situations. It's awesome!
Alpha Trion in the original cartoon is who rebuilds the wounded Orion Pax and Elita-1, in other continuities he's one of the 13 primes. The answer to the soul question varies, in the original cartoon when they build transformers, the personality and soul comes from Vector Sigma, which Alpha Trion guards, but in the Combaticons' case, they were already souls but trapped outside of their bodies and placed in new ones by Starscream
Y’all should do the original cartoon Optimus Prime vs Michael Bay’s Optimus Prime (a murder machine who got stuck in cables for 8 minutes in Transformers 3, even though he has a sword and can fly? 🤷🏼♂️)
I figured out the greatest matchup/fight of 2 characters played by the same actor, The actor: Hayden Christianson The characters: Anikan Skywalker/Darth Vader vs. Jumping Hayden Christianson from the movie Jumper…. 1:50:27 you guy never see this but I’ll be listening out for it. Lu y’all!!
Dear James, a Highlander is simply a person born in the Scottish Highlands. They are, generally speaking, just as mortal as the rest of us. The fact that Connor MacLeod happens to be both a Highlander and also an Immortal is just a coincidence. Most of the Immortals of that particular cinematic universe are in fact not Highlanders at all. Just your everyday garden variety Immortals, chasing their various Quickenings in all kinds of geographic regions. Please absorb this knowledge like the energy from a decapitated foe, and enjoy being less wrong in the future.
If anyone's curious - Alpha Trion is the guy who rebuilt Orion Pax into Optimus Prime. Elita One is the counterpart/partner of Optimus Prime, I think she's a leader in the resistance against the Decepticons on Cybertron in G1. Arcee loves kicking ass (possibly among the fightin'-est of the Autobots in G1 other than the Dinobots), and also Greenlight, who is a scientist on Cybertron, and Gauge, a young Transformer who Arcee and Greenlight are sort of mom-figures to, they're a nice little found-family.
Just wanted to let you know the craziest thing happened. I was listening to this after work and took a quick nap. Somehow, while I was asleep I dreamed that the superhero showdown segment was literally just copy pasted from the one you guys did 3 years ago. I was sad and mad, and woke up angry thinking "I waited 3 years for this!?". Anyways, gonna listen to that segment actually now to confirm if my dream was right or not.
Neo at his peak out of the Matrix is definitely blind Neo … and since John Wick is probably just a training program from the Matrix, this is maybe closer than you’d think.
Ok I know I'm very uninitiated when it comes to Star Wars, but hearing that the Mandalorian is 100ft tall is making me question every limited thing I've seen from that franchise. If Mando is 100ft tall, does that mean everyone in that universe is around 100ft tall? Does this mean Star Wars is a Kaiju franchise?? I'm so confused
It's basically a running joke where because Star Wars all takes place so long ago in a galaxy far away we have no frame of reference for how big the people are. Hence we assume they're all actually 100 feet tall
Mystic vs Catnip, Jenifer's Mystic is extremely agile, she beats a ton of military men by herself. Also, she is a shapeshifter. We don't see much of it outside of her transforming into different humanoids, we see more of it with Rebecca Romijn's Mystic who turns into a statue (but they're supposed to be the same person with the same powers), but we can assume she could turn into a small animal like a snake, cross the field, and wabam.
Raiden vs. Connor MacLeod- if Raiden is 100 feet tall than his step stride is 300 feet, the length of an American football field. Raiden would basically be restricted to walking in circles while Macleod climbs him Shadow of the Colossus style to stab him through the head, while Raiden could only do "swatting the fly" damage as MacLeod climbs. MacLeod wins hands down, no heads off.
Yeah the Funko Pops...they made figures of the Cure. They're my favorite band ever, but I never felt like my life was incomplete without cute little figures of these guys in their sixties. Very strange...
Big bummer that my mocap Andy Serkis idea wasn't used. Good thing there was the time codes comment to save me the time I would've wasted sitting here thinking I might actually end up on an episode.
James, you are underestimating ChatGPT. You have to teach it and be specific. If at the beginning you say, "I am about to give you different fight scenarios between different characters that were played by the same actor. In all of them, please assume that the fight occurs on a regulation American Football field in a pocket dimension. Each brings with them their usual weapons and equipment. Each combatant recognizes the other as a threat and uses the same amount of lethal force that they normally would. Please make a definitive answer." You'll have a lot more luck. It still writes in sort of a boring basic essay way, but it will do better.
Bumblebee himself has never ever gotten the matrix, nor do i think he should cuz Hot Rod should not be sidelines anymore. but in Armada, Hot Shot is a lot like Bumblebee (and Hot Rod) and he gains the matrix to become a leader for a short time, and in the aligned continuity, Bee leads his own group of autobots in Robots in Disguise 2015
Regarding counter-critics, famed Armand White fanboi Vince Mancini (formerly of Uproxx) is probably the closest I get, in that we have pretty much opposed views on movies but he's such an entertaining writer I'll happily acknowledge and respect his opinions regardless.
1. Kratos bodies all gods 2. In the pictureless comic book known as "The Bible" God needs a 6 winged angel with a flaming sword to defend his throne. Take from that what you will.
If you're going to use Ai to write one of these I think something like inferkit would be better suited. I gave it up to "they perceive eachother as a threat". It definitely gets a little confused but pretty funny nonetheless. "Micheal Keatons Batman and Christian Bales Batman are both teleported to an empty football stadium. They immediately perceive eachother as a threat and start fighting, but when they see Christian cut up on the field they pause and wait for an opportunity to kill him. But just as the fighting continues, both Batman and Bales suddenly have an epiphany. Batman knows he was led to this stadium on purpose so Bales realizes that he was sent here on purpose. After the epiphany Batman takes Bales’s gun and shoots him. Batman is then confronted by Bales’s cat which he shoots in the face with his last bullet. When Batman stops fighting he feels strong and has the strength to take out any threat around him."
The idea of James and his son sitting down and having a conversation about whose most qualified to inherit the matrix of leadership is a very funny idea to me.
Re: superhero showdown, IMHO just before Ryan Reynolds Deadpool Wolverine XMen origins delivers the death blow on Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern, Ryan Reynolds Hannibal King appears and goes full vampire on Ryan Reynolds Deadpool, allowing Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern to will into being a Green black hole that inadvertently socks all three out of this reality and into the MCU...
I think Rogue One from the movie would win because Donny Yen from the gun film would forget to factor in wind resistance on a football field. The sound of the wind will scramble his sonar. 😊
I’m sorry I’m laughing so much about “make bumblebee the leader”. They did in the IDW comics, he was the worst leader in the history of the franchise. Bee as a leader makes Starscream look like an honest individual with nothing but good intentions.😂
“Don’t you want to know why they call me the Rhino” is a shameless attempt to do the “morb all over those guys” meme but for real. It’s somewhat impressive in its gall
Jedi aren't invincible, and the Joker is just the type of person that could exploit a jedi's weaknesses; Its hard to focus on your force BS when you're dealing with explosions and gas and whatnot.
In the Connor MacLeod vs Raiden battle of Christopher Lamberts, Conner would win easily. When discussing, the game version of Raiden was referenced, but this should strictly be the MK movie version of the character. He's PG-13. No head popping, no weapons and very hesitant to use any of his electricity powers. He mostly stands around giving bad advice. If his physical form can be killed, Connor's gonna do it.
