In EXCRUCIATING detail too

he's too good

@@HovektheArtistl

Um actually, Hentai?

Get in the damn robot, Brennan.

HE WINKED

This thread couldn't be more perfect

But who would write the questions?!

Yeah, and I don't think he repeats it, either.

@@KelpTheGreat nah he does repeat if asked to, they just dont usually because it means they're slower to buzz in

yeah, they should get to see the question on a screen

OK but water bending is literally a form of energy bending or as it's more accurately known, spirit bending, that's how water bending healing is done Amon is an energy Bender he's just using blood bending as his medium, all bending is spirit bending

@@ConstantChaos1 energy bending can permanently remove bending. Bloodbending just blocks the flow of chi, something like one of those blocked meridians in cultivation novels.

I’m realizing this was probably Trapps way of defending the viewer who made the question- we all know how much he loves a technicality

​ 9

He was also actually correct, the joker is in the show, he just only shows up in the finale

@@leontrotsky9268I believe technically that is not the joker like his name is the joke or something like that because legally they couldn’t call him joker so why he’s clearly meant to be that technically in the universe of Gotham the joker just doesn’t exist instead a guy with a very similar name and theme does

@@blistow3519 I mean no. He is the joker it’s just that they weren’t allowed to call him that. In the final episode he claims he wants a new name but can’t settle on one, only knowing it’s something beginning with “j”. In a similar manner they’re never allowed to call Bruce “batman” even in the final episode but that doesn’t mean he isn’t batman. Edit: the idea is he will take the name “joker” after the series’ end

Um Actually, it's not that they didn't have the rights per se, it's that Warner Bros wanted to reserve Joker for the movies so they wouldn't "water down the brand." Why that doesn't apply to ANY OTHER VILLAIN they used in Gotham, I don't know, or more importantly why they chose to water down the brand anyway with the terrible version of Joker in Suicide Squad. Oh yeah, and the final look at "not Joker" in Gotham couldn't look any more like Joker anyway (minus the green hair they apparently weren't allowed to use).

In the last season did they not make Jeremiah the Joker? I thought they finally chose to go that route after the fail of Leto

@@themonster6888 Quote from showrunner John Stephens "I feel like Cameron's character, in all the iterations of the characters that he played Jerome, Jeremiah, and the new character that he plays, if he's not The Joker, then he's someone who does provide the origin story for the person who you're going to see later on." So... IDK? (Incidentally, they describe the "third iteration" of Cameron's character being Jeremiah after falling into the vat)

@@davvolun So as I recall that came from Cameron Monaghan’s tweets, and as far as motivation goes, I think that’s correct. My understanding though, is that those restrictions did come in the form of WB not giving Fox the rights to use the Joker character, and the show more or less got around that by avoiding certain specific trademarks ie the green hair. Regardless, great additional info!

@@themonster6888 That’s a good question. I don’t recall them explicitly calling him The Joker, but I won’t complain about having a reason to rewatch his scenes.

I would hate watch that so hard

The Avatar Movie, the Mario Bros Movie, all the other video game movies that suck. Doom, Bloodrayne, Tomb Raider and Street Fighter.

Don't forget Perry Johanson

And the hardest question would be lore from the ATLA movie that's slightly wrong based on the show

Replace those underscores with asterisks to make that "hate" be in *bold*

That's because it didn't relate to Siamese firebacks or roseate spoonbills. However he knows his roosterchickens

@@gerbendekker3273 hahahahahahha

I was about to comment the same thing 😂

And he got it wrong. The removal of the coating is a byproduct of the washing process, not the reason for it. Eggs are washed to prevent food poisoning from chicken feces and other yuck normally found on eggs.

Um Actually

I agree. Personally, it's been a long time since I've read it, but if I recall the "monsters" actions that were bad were usually a requiste for survival or self defense. Until he started to ya know, spend his life tormenting the Doctor.

Yeah the monster is hella smart in the book

I mean, he was kind of a monster for graverobbing and bringing dead people back to life when he had no permission from the dead people or their families.

@@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield Um, actually Victor Frankenstein never received the title of Doctor. He never finished his doctorate.

Everyone should read Junji ito's Manga adaptation of Frankenstein

Such a beautiful moment :') Brennan is probably one of my all-time heroes, but definitely the only one that's a real person

"I AM NERD SHIT!" -Brennan probably

I AM AN ADULT

I love the fact that it was the egg coating that is the life skill that Brennan has lol (I think it's called the cuticle btw). Also um actually, the eggs are also refrigerated in Australia xD Which is because we also take off the outer layer, the dust. The reason for that is because if you don't wash the eggs and your hands before you crack and open the eggs, it can lead to salmonella. Buuuut on the flip side, taking off the protection means if you take it out of the fridge and let it stay in the bench for too long, that's when the salmonella gets u into the egg.

​@@Kewlausgirl Umm, Actually we do it because we refrigerate it in transport. If you heat and cool the egg repeatedly it forms condensation which allows bacteria to permeate the shell. We don't remove the outer layer, and all countries remove the dust prior to packing. As per Health Victoria: "Do not: repeatedly move the same eggs to and from cool conditions. This causes condensation on the shell, which allows bacteria to enter the egg." "Do: store eggs in their outer boxes at below 20 °C, until displayed for sale." The eggs go to depots on refrigerated trucks that are set to 0-2C, when they are ready for dispatch they are taken out and sorted and often placed on a truck alongside frozen items to go to the supermarket. They're considered the least priority to put away (there is stuff like fish and meat that really need to go in first). As the rear of a store is often not air conditioned (and can easily be 30C+ in summer), they're stored in the fridge before going on the shelf (eggs should never be stored in an environment >20C). To avoid that repeated heating and cooling, they're on display in refrigerated units.

Charisma is knowing not to bring it up.

Wonderfully put, although phrasing it as "knowing that Frankenstein was a monster" would bringt out the distinction even better. Up for debate, certainly, just thought I'd put it out there.

@@DrZaius3141 id say Frankenstein was the monster of the story

Also, The Monster is technically a Frankenstein, since he is Victor's son, in a sense

Ehhh In my opinion victor was the monster for his blatant abandonment of his creation and his desperate measures to hide the death of his brother going so far as allowing the maid and family friend to be executed leading to the death of his mother before eventually seeking out his creation to kill it but dying to it after coming to peace when hearing its story Fun fact: Victors monster was never referred to as the monster and was not an ugly creature but rather a 7ft tall beautiful man with flowing golden hair and gold eyes and was even said to be as beautiful as Thor

And the replacement isn't even true. There's a Loud House fan fic that has more than 3 times as many words called "Revamped, Loud House and X-Overs"

@@diosrightcalfmuscle4090That one isn't actually valid. The writer of it will copy and paste whole Wikipedia articles in order to up the word count and assumes that people won't actually read it

@@axeheadshot7793 things are heating up in the "who got the longest fanfic" fandom

Yeah, I was surprised that no one instantly knew "the subspace emissary is from Brawl, not Harry Potter" like I did.

For real, the one question I knew the answer to and no one else did lol. It's one of those things that you hear in forums and it sounds so weird it just sticks with you forever

I'm sorry, we were looking for a grouse...

Yeah, absolute golden moment

And the freaking Great Deku Tree! Argh!

@@Oak_Eggar Golden flower

Um actually, it's Brennan.

​@@TheFallingFlamingoI'm gonna start a new drinking game, going through the comments of episodes Brennan is in and drinking for every time his name is corrected this way. It makes me unreasonably happy.

AND worse than the other episodes because he also got the real life skill one

For the life of me I couldn’t remember the actual subject the fanfic was about, but I am proud that I heard the real fact before and could remember it wasn’t a Harry Potter fic

I knew both the fics, because I've read them before! :D ...and yes, it is pain that that's the one I knew first lol

SAME!

I thought the longest fanfic was a Loud House self-insert?

@@placeholder_username9528 Not sure about that one; however, the HP fic on spacebattles has, iirc, three to four entire threads for the story.

Your third player is Brian Murphy. He occasionally corrects Brennan on the rules

I would like to suggest Griffon Mcclroy for the 3rd dm, simply because it would be funny

Mark Hulmes would be cool to see. He's British but he's the DM of Highrollers and a friend of Matt's

Travis McElroy

@@TehConqueror Yeah, Travis would be cool as well!

I was gonna say, it was funny of them to give any shade for reading the books in the wrong order, cuz I think MOST people started with Black Cauldron first due to the movie, but it's actually the second book in the pentalogy.

Princess Eilonwy is criminally underrated and Disney did her wrong by never including her with the other princesses!

I don't know if I've ever watched the movie (if I have, it hasn't been in a long time) but I had these ausiobooks when I was a child. They were picture books and included a CD so you as a kid, would listen to someone narrating the story and see the pictures. It's where I discovered the Black Cauldron and it's a movie that I always consider as part of disney whenever disney comes to my mind

I just watched it again last year, it's such a weird lil movie I loved as a kid because I liked anything "medieval". He had good taste

Um actually (ha) a power bottom is someone who gets penetrated while being more in charge/active than the person penetrating them

@@samaramorgan8023 lies. I just want cuddles. And to tickle the fuck out of people. -I'm mostly ace though so...-

also never seen gotham myself but in many dc universes the joker is only created through batman knocking or scaring the joker into falling into the vat of acid that bleaches and changes him to be insane, so a prebatman gotham with the joker doesnt make sense in many versions of the gotham setting

And that catwoman was never named and also never fully appeared until the last episode I belive

@@Saturnm0ss Nah, Selina Kyle (Catwoman) was one of the leads _Gotham_ since the beginning - she did only become Catwoman in the final episode, but it's because she was a child/teenager for most of the series, just like Bruce Wayne only becoming Batman in the finale (the final episode was a time skip, where the two finally become adults).

@@JubioHDX You'd think so, but Jeremiah - the show's version of the Joker, and the twin brother of Jerome (the red herring mentioned in the episode) - _did_ fall into the acid vat and all that! He fully became the Joker in the traditional sense (only with teenager Bruce Wayne in the place of Batman, obviously); they really just couldn't call him by the Joker name, due to rights issues.

@@bobbyfernando but I can't remember if they were ever named, like if we heard “Catwoman” out loud. If not you could just argue it was the same with Jeremiah and Jerome

This mfer won 50k on who wants to be a millionaire, At this point I think we can grant him the title of knower of things

Although it was satisfying watching him not know things... Fancy not knowing Flowey or the Great Deku Tree!!! Marisha did know though... That made me happy 😁

Um Actually bird fact episode

Thank u lol

Thank you

Please accept my like

So naturally we need an Indiana Jones vs Jackie Chan movie

National Treasure

Or the updated Carmen Sandiego show?

@@LifeEleanorDeathNell that was my thought as well

To an extent, it's also Killmonger from Black Panther.

Yeah, that bugged me and set me searching for this comment x0

Um actually strictly seen it is not magic, but it is similar to magic. And magical just describes something similar to magic. Like a beautiful sunset can be magical even though it is not magic.

Um actually, it’s “ancient”.

Um, actually it was Katara who said that when correcting Sokka, who called it "playing with magic water."

It is a magical ability that is controlled through an ancient art form.

IN THE COMMENTS!

Can someone make a playlist with brennan episodes

i have arrived IN THE COMMENTS

Thank you, i was so frustrated

OMG, same!

I would have buzzed in early to scream “it’s NOT magic, it’s bending!”

@@DuckDoolittle Same thing.

@@JameyMcQueen It’s literally a quote from the show. Katara says it in the first 5 minutes of the first episode. I know it’s magic in a literary sense, but it’s not magic in universe.

Personally, if you want to see him put in his place, watch a DnD game with Emily in it :P.

This is a highly underrated comment

And um actually; if you count the Riverlands and the iron islands as two separate kingdoms currently conquered by King Harren, there are *7* kingdoms: the north, the Westerlands, the eyrie, the reach, the iron islands, the stormlands, and the Riverlands. The Riverlands had their own kings in the past but had been conquered by the iron born at the time of conquest, and aegon appointed the Tully’s as riverlords. So there *were* 7 distinct cultures and political groups who add up till 7 kingdoms. With dorne; there are 8 It depends on where you count the iron islands

Um actually chief wiggum was never part of the be sharps because they came up with the name after wiggums was kicked out and they replaced him with Barney.

I think it depends on how you look at it. My best comparison personally is for example the military unit citation. Unit members who didn't participate still get to wear the citation, because it's awarded to the group, not the individual. The same is true for the group awarded Grammy. Therefor the statement "award-winning group Be Sharps" is technically correct.

The voice crack in it made it amazing 😂

it’s become the thing I yell in the mirror after I have to do Adult Stuff

more or less! The dornish army retreated into the desert where the Targaryans didn't know how to fight, attacked bases and then fled back into the desert before the dragons could be mobilised against them. Whereas a static castle can only be in so many places. This, incidentally, is why weapons technology hasn't progressed at all since there have been dragons on Westeros because they're the ultimate weapon

I would have been so angry if he didn't give it to him

It was incredible haha Like he just ranted and explained the whole thing in detail haha

Uhm, actually, he didn't say "uhm, actually" and should not have gotten points.

@@kaspermoss8198 um, actually it's "um*, actually"

@@thornprick2645 same, I would’ve been angry too. It’s not incorrect to leave Chief Wiggum out of the quartet members. This guy is a good host.

He winked. He knew what he was saying.

I literally thought the exact same thing 😂

Better or worse than Marisha's "I'll come for you next time" comment?

I mean, for the nerds watching, that's the more important info. :D

And the fact that Marisha has been a celeb/pro dnd player longer and has only done a few voice acting scenes (see the critrole Halloween episode where everyone dressed up as their voices characters) especially in comparison to her fellow VO actors at critrole

She's also a creative director at CR.

we stan she/her genderless cosmic entities

she/her enby icon

Brennan shouldn't have gotten this point. And maybe Marisha shouldn't either: being robotic does not necessarily mean being a robot.

@@MateusSFigueiredo the question was worded ambiguously on purpose-they were meant to correct that Janet is not a robot and likely hoped that the double meaning would trip them up.

He's wrong about it anyway

Also, in the part with naming sentient plants my first thought was the plant door that Merle seduced so hard it orgasam-ed and opened. A lot of romantic plants in that arc lmao

@@FabulousaAliya oh my God please why did you remind me oml no

It’s nice for when you wanna store cooked eggs for some days tho!

While this is a minor technicality, we don't know for sure if what the lion turtles shown in Korra would be considered energy bending, as it could just be giving the ability to bend that *one* particular element. If that were the case it could be called elemental energy bending. Idk

Wait are energy bending and spirit bending different cause can't Aang's granddaughter do that shit too?

@@conwaytwittyer2667 Jinorra is able to spirit project, which is an advanced airbending ability similar to how water can heal and fire can redirect lightning! Any advanced airbender can do it, but it’s neither energybending, nor spiritbending

@@Whitewizardofwater but then how does iroh project himself into the spirit world, also just unrelated would it be possible for other benders to redirect lightning considering it's based on water bending techniques?

@@conwaytwittyer2667 To my understanding, there’s been some speculation as to how Iroh ended up in the spirit world, ranging from that he achieved enlightenment, to simply being so in-tune with spirits, to the idea that the spirits themselves brought him there. Personally, I’m of the belief that dying played a role, as he waited until death to do it before meeting avatar Kora And I don’t believe others can- except insofar as water itself can redirect electricity. Firebenders can bend lightning, so it makes sense they can redirect it. That said, it *would* be neat if other benders could unlock more bending styles by learning from one another

This is great.

Glad someone else caught this and not just me.

Um actually, there is nothing in any Zelda game that suggests that Koroks are somehow a lesser version of the Deku Tree. The Deku Tree is the protector of the forest and is likely related to the Koroks, which are spirits of the forest. But the Koroks, at least in Wind Waker, the game they first appeared in, are stated and shown (through the former Earth Sage) to be an evolution of the Kokiri which appeared in Ocarina of Time. In that game we also see the end of one Deku Tree and the birth of the next, and the process doesn't involve the kokiri in any way. While it's not clear which timeline Breath of the Wild falls into, the Deku Tree hasn't appeared outside of the Adult Timeline, which is also where the Koroks first appeared, making it plausible that the Deku Tree in BotW is the same Deku tree we witness being born in OoT. And not some sort of super Korok. They're related in that they're part of a spiritual ecosystem working together, and the Koroks revere the Deku Tree as their Guardian Deity - but the one doesn't come from or grow into the other. Hestu is just a freak of nature.

He's called the Great Deku Tree in the sense of it being an honorific, not in the sense of needing to differentiate between him and a bunch of lesser deku trees. This is proven by his name in other languages - deku no ki-sama in Japanese, which roughly translates to "Lord Deku" and in French he's called "Vénérable Arbre Mojo" which roughly translates to "Venerable [Deku] Tree" (okay actually its Mojo Tree for whatever reason, but thats silly and an inconsistency with other ways to translate his name. Weird localization decision, honestly.)

​​@@RainaThrownAway I'm fairly certain Breath of the Wild exists in a combined timeline brought together by time and world related nonsense in Hyrule Warriors. That is the only way the Rito and the Zora can both exist in the same timeline.

For some reason I thought the bottom right one was the Deku Tree. Maybe the one from Oracle of Ages or Seasons.

Um actually marisha knew who flowey was just not the name
