Plumbing the Death Star - What Did We Think of Captain America: Civil War? (Feat. Tessa Stickland)
Episode Date: April 28, 2016In which our heroes exit the cinema, get home at four am, and then wake up the next day to blearily record as they ask what did we think of Captain America: Civil War. We figure out if we got anything... right, won't stop calling Black Panther Wakanda, and discuss the difference between a quip and a gag. Zammit feels like the whole film was just an epilogue to Age of Ultron, Tessa’s here cos she wants to smack a planet in the mouth, Jackson wonders if what he actually saw was even a movie, and Duscher just wants everyone to be happy that Marvel took a step in the right direction. So blow up a couple of cities, sign a government document, and then figure out Hydra was sort of to blame once again. At least captain America is Nomad now, and that's good.Want to help us finally rest? Head to http://www.patreon.com/sanspantsradio and for as little as $1 a month, and we finally can.

Stan Spencer Radio, how about that?
Hey everyone and welcome to another midweek special edition
super great Plumbing the Death Star where we ask the important questions like what did we think
of Captain America 3 Civil War the 13th film in the Avengers trilogy?
And I'm just gonna pause here for a second, mate.
Jackson, give me that plastic thing you're going to play with.
Thank you.
Good.
Damn.
And welcoming Tessa to the show.
Hello.

Because I want to smack a planet in the face
I'm so tired
Alright so first of all
It's currently like midday
On Thursday
I got home at
Like quarter past four
Last night
I'm very tired
You got pulled over by the cops last night yeah i

at four in the morning and the cops were like what are you doing what yeah no i they like drove past
me as i was pulling out and then did a u-turn i was like here we go and then i was sitting at a
red light and they were right behind me
and I put on my blinker.
Then they put it in a blinker.
I was like,
I've played this game before.
I know where this is going.
And then,
yeah,
as I started turning,
we turned into the street
and it used to go down
and they just flashed their lights
and I was like,
that sucks.
But here we are.
Then they pulled over
and they were like,
what's your name?
And I was like,
Joel Dusha.
Just kidding,
Joel Zammett
you may have heard of me
no
and then
they asked me like
a bunch of questions
like just normal cop questions
like who's the car
registered to
where are you going
and then we're like
oh just a quick question
why don't you pay my rego
just remind me about that
at some point
thank you
I watched a lot of
sheriff people
over the last week so they're cracking down on it at the moment nah I got like a month oh you're sweet you're because I watched a lot of sheriff people over the last week
so they're cracking down on it at the moment
I've got like a month
and then they were like
what were you doing in a car park
I was like I got dropped off at my car
I just saw the Captain America
and then the police were like
oh what was it like
I'm trying to take my girlfriend
how should I convince her
and you didn't plug the show
I did not plug the show
to watch Plumbing the Death Star
on your channel 7 news.
Yeah, so overall, the movie was good.
Yeah.
Nah, I'll start because
Well, let's do it like we did Batman vs Superman.
What was the best bit?
What was the worst bit?
Wasn't it overall feelings first?
Overall feelings. Positive.
I enjoyed it. I had
a good time. In the cinema I had a good time
I was chuckling
at their quips. I was like
Good level of quips. A fine level
of quips. Like it wasn't too much
and there were some which is clearly
better than BBS. So that was nice. All of it
Every single scene was better than
Superman. The chairs
were better in the cinema. That is true.
That is true.
I got better food this time around.
Yeah, we like sat in the same practical,
it wasn't the same cinema, but it was a VMAX.
Yeah.
And better sound quality.
Oh, definitely.
So good.
W at Moss.
Check it out, guys.
Slash TM.
So I realized it was an enjoyable time.
Yeah, I had a
Laugh riot
No
I didn't want to die
Like I did in say
Deadpool or Ant-Man
I wanted to die
On a scale of
How much does Jackson
Want to die in this film
Your normal
Normal level is like
Okay if we take you
To a movie
It's usually like
A three out of ten
Regardless of what the movie is
If it's a midnight screening
It's usually a six
Before we even walk in
Uh huh Uh huh Star Wars was like a hot nine like i wanted to go you had two naps
in that movie uh but in this one i didn't nap once you looked quite awake i was i was fairly alert
yeah at one point zama did look like turn over to me and he was like jackson i'm like what he's
like you look so sad i must have had not a great expression on my face no in um oh fuck uh you've done so many of
these but hey spoilers yeah are you gonna go yes everything in this is massive spoilers we're gonna
discuss the entire plot of the film we've gotten like a couple of minutes in and haven't actually
mentioned it so that's a surprise so if you're still listening sorry pause it because i know with civil war usually like that's a surprise. So if you're still listening, sorry, pause it. Because I know with Civil War,
usually it doesn't really matter
because if you're listening to this.
Civil War seems like the kind of thing
that's going to be chalked.
Also, I think Australia get it first.
Yeah, we've seen it before.
I think the UK have it as well, but America don't.
Sorry, USA.
Sorry, Yanks.
Yeah, suck it.
Tess is still here.
Cough it, Yanks.
Red, white, and fuck you. So yeah, on a Red Wyden, fuck you
So, yeah, on a scale of how dead were you, Jack?
Oh, no, like a seven
Yeah, that's only one higher than
That's pretty good
Like, I had another time
Ant-Man got big
Ant-Man got so big
Ant-Man became Giant-Man
And that was the peak of my night
The mans in both, in the movie were the peaks of my night yeah the
spider-man's giant man's the iron man's i could leave overall impression okay i really liked it
um i have gone on record multiple times saying that superhero movies kind of make me want to
die at this point uh-huh this one made me feel a lot better about it i'm back on board but then i thought about how much ground they're gonna have to cover just
before we started recording this episode between now and infinity war and now i kind of want to die
again a lot yeah there's no thanos and there's no infinite gems or stones in this one rocks there's
no rocks no one gets their rocks on no infinium everyone gets their rocks on? No infinium rocks. No one gets their rocks off. Vision talks about it.
He's like, what the fuck is this in my head?
I don't know.
But I'll sort it out one day.
Not today, though.
Give me time.
Have a bit of patience.
Oh, fuck.
That's how we usually structure this.
How right or wrong we were.
Very wrong.
Did not get anything right.
No, I did.
What?
A crime happened on Wakandan soil.
That's true.
You dirtbags. Except it wasn't on Wakandan soil. That's true. You dirtbags.
Except it wasn't on Wakandan soil at all.
It was Nigeria.
There was a peacekeeping mission there and they blew up.
Oh, actually, no, we'll talk about that later.
Anyway, yeah, the Wakanda thing.
That was good.
That was real good.
Tess?
Yeah, I liked it.
I didn't really have many expectations.
I'm just like, I'm here for the ride.
And it made sense, mostly.
Yeah, not many plot holes.
That said, actually, I was thinking about this.
No, no, no, shut up about this.
How did you feel about it?
No, that's the last segment.
What was wrong?
Just remind me to say Baron Zemo, and then I'll get back to that.
Okay.
Yeah, I said I liked it.
Stop with those gross noises.
Stop it.
I hate them. It's those gross noises. Stop it. I hate them.
It's okay.
It's not okay.
The people have become used to it.
They expect it probably.
I've been friends with you for five years at this point,
maybe even six,
and every single time you do that,
it still makes me so angry.
It's old man noises.
It is.
I don't know.
Stop it.
Maybe I'm dying.
You are sitting there on the couch with a blanket around your fucking legs.
And a jacket that you definitely bought from an op shop at some point.
So favorite bit of the film.
I'm going to go with either Spider-Man or a Black Panther man.
The superhero showdown was the best bit because they actually got a superhero fight right.
Yeah.
Yeah. And there was a lot going on and it was easy to follow. superhero showdown was the best bit because they actually got a superhero fight right yeah yeah
like there was a lot going on and it was easy to follow like i said this last night and i said
again um it felt like watching a comic book yeah you actually said that i was like how weird because
i went over and i was like how weird is it that spider-man's in this and like he's fighting the
avengers you're like yeah this feels like a comic book i generally feel like they got the you know
the the dialogue right as well like in in in a of comic books, I know there was ages back,
there was a Wolverine v. Deadpool thing,
and Deadpool is fighting Wolverine,
and someone's like a psychiatrist, like Dr. Bong from memory?
Yeah, Dr. Bong.
Dr. Bong?
Wait, did he have a bell for a head?
Yeah, a bell for a head.
That's Dr. Bong.
That's the good doctor.
The good Dr. Bong.
And like Wolverine is monologuing as he's fighting
and it's like just over the top.
Yeah.
Doctor Bong in Deadpool.
Because of course the Deadpool comic are taken aside
being like, well, it's amazing how they can get so many words
in just like one little action scene.
But they did dialogue really, really well in this film
in the fight scenes.
I thought it was really believable, really nice.
Particularly when you have these two...
Hey, construction work. There it is. There it construction work there it is there hello two special guests today
construction men both beautiful
uh and yeah they got dialogue really really right i felt like the like especially spider-man's
dialogue when he fights it much better than toby mcguire or and Andrew Garfield Ever did He was a nerd
He was a wiener kid
And he was kind of embarrassed about everything
And he had no idea what was going on
See for me with Spider-Man
I thought he was really good
But I thought there was this
And maybe it's because this is a new Spider-Man
It seemed like the jokes weren't jokes he was making
It seemed like the funny Was just that he was making it seemed like the funny was just
that he was like oh like no it's similar to the similar to the ant-man dialogue we got where he's
just be like i know you guys you're famous why am i with you oh fuck this is nuts yeah but no i even
mean like when he was fighting it wasn't like hey i'm spider-man and i'm like telling jokes while i
hit you like the classic spider-man maneuver it was more like spider-man's dialogue was funny because he was like a fish out of water and which is still
fine but i'm just like to me like it wasn't like it's a good introduction to him and it's very
similar to a lot of the the first sort of when he becomes like in the ultimate spider-man as well
and it looks like they're kind of following that potentially that sort of um storyline in the Ultimate Spider-Man as well. And it looks like they're kind of following that, potentially that sort of storyline in the Ultimates
where sort of Steve Rogers becomes his mentor a bit.
I hope so.
Which would be very cool if that happens.
I like that Aunt May was Marissa Tomei.
Yeah.
That's good.
Like she wasn't a 60-year-old woman.
That's real neat.
That's real neat.
They've gotten, like, made her younger
because, like, Aunt May in the Tobey Maguire movie
is old as fuck.
Yeah.
Like, ready to die.
Benjamin Button.
Like, she's got the Benjamin Button disease.
Then in Andrew Garfield, it's Sally Field,
and you're like, yeah, all right.
That's not bad.
Yeah, with Andrew Garfield, it was like,
clearly I love the fact that this 20-odd-year-old
is playing a 15-year-old.
Yeah, sick.
Whereas this kid, he's a kid.
He's actually 19, I heard. Oh, that's the best. The age. Yeah, he looks like he, he's a kid He's actually 19 I heard
Oh, that's the best
He looks like he could be anywhere between 16 to 19
Good performance
Well, Andrew Garfield is in college
He's in the last year of high school
So I think he's meant to be 18
But the actor is older
Where this Spider-Man I think is 15 or 16
Yeah, and that really worked
And he wasn't rad
He didn't have a skateboard
He was a wiener
Andrew Garfield can fuck off The Amazing Spider-Man is fucking shit And that really worked. And he wasn't rad. He didn't have a skateboard. He was a wiener. That was good.
Andrew Garfield can fuck off.
The Amazing Spider-Man's fucking shit.
Emma Stone, though.
Good Gwen Stacy.
Yeah, good person, probably.
Tobey Maguire, amazing.
Yes.
He's such a good Peter Parker.
He's like an adult Peter Parker.
Yeah, he's like King Wiener.
Absolutely.
Little Prince Wiener.
Bloody. I love the Tobey Maguire
Spider-Man movie
so much
he's such a loser
he's like
such a loser
like Tobey Maguire
is the most
he's the biggest loser
Spider-Man 3
I've come around
like that's a great film
it's a great film
it's also
with Tobey Maguire
like even as
Spider-Man
he's kind of lame
which kind of makes sense
because it's a dude in a spider suit.
Yeah, like, it's lame.
Oh, and I did like the eye retracting thing.
Yeah.
I liked how they kind of tied that into just the fact that he's wearing goggles
because his senses are overpowering.
Yeah.
That was a nice little bit of...
So, yeah, everyone on the internet was getting mad about his eyes widening and shutting.
They sorted it out.
I remember somebody saying that they're a camera
so he can take photos of himself.
How?
That's hot nonsense.
You can't take photos of yourself if you are yourself.
Unless it's like, you know,
the view that we get of Iron Man inside the suit.
He's just taken that of himself constantly.
He's like, hey, Jonah Jameson,
I've got these amazing exclusive photos.
Jonah's like, I don't...
That's just you.
Although that...
You wouldn't even know it was a picture of Spider-Man.
You'd be like, what is this, eyes?
Although, yeah, because we do get that view of Tony Stark
or Rob Denny Jr. in the Iron Man suit,
I wonder if we will get that for Peter Parker
because he's sort of using that similar tech.
That'll be all right.
But it feels like it's closer into his face. Like it's more like
a proper mask just with
fancy. Less of a helmet.
Yeah, because if they give us that angle, you're gonna get
like, nah, they won't do that
because it's gonna be stupid as fuck.
Also, it looked like super materially when he
had it off. Oh, that's true. That's a good point.
When he was buggered from the fight.
What? Oh, that kind of bugged me.
But that's something that bugs me.
It was so similar to that with Quicksilver in Days of Jepar.
It was like, you had this really cool scene.
Now we're going to just chuff off and leave you here.
Yeah, I was like...
They did it better than Days of Jepar.
Yeah, they did.
But Tony Stark's like, I need you to fight.
Okay, bye now.
Goodbye.
No, he's like, you're done.
You're done.
Because Tony Stark realizes in that fight,
and this is why it works a little bit better.
Tony Stark didn't realize how young he was until that fight.
No, he knew how young he was.
He just didn't know how violent it was going to get.
Yeah.
And I think that was why he was like, look, you've done.
You went toe-to-toe with these guys.
Stay down.
You're done, mate.
Yeah, I liked it.
Because the stakes get, that's right.
The hot scene.
Yes!
I was like, I reckon they're going to hot this. And, oh, oh. Because the steaks get, that's right. The hot scene. Yes! Cool.
I was like, I didn't tell him.
I'm like, I reckon they're going to hot this.
And then they did.
They hot him good.
Hey, do you remember that really old movie, Empire Strikes Back?
That's good.
Although I was disappointed they didn't use the music.
Yeah.
They should have used some Star Wars.
Yeah, they could have.
That'd be funny.
Or even if it was just like humming it or singing it.
Yeah.
Oh, that would be very Deadpool.
Yeah.
Nah, fuck that. Don't. Keep. Oh, that would be very Deadpool. Yeah, it would.
Nah, fuck that.
Don't keep my Spider-Man, Spider-Man,
and keep my Deadpool off TV.
Yeah, shit.
Our other favorite bits.
I loved... You go.
I yelled way too late.
You go first.
That was scary.
I was afraid for my life. I really liked Paul Rudd in this
And like Ant-Man was garbage
It's hot garbage
And like Paul Rudd's performance in it
Kind of also garbage
It was nothing
Yeah but in this I was like hey I like him so much
And I liked him more than
Like Peter Parker Or like any of the other new people.
Yeah, I did.
Because he felt so real.
You know what I mean?
Like he wakes up in the van like, what the fuck is going on?
What time zone is this?
I did like they didn't show like where they got him.
It's just like, he's here.
We saw getting Peter Parker.
We don't need another.
They're like, whatever.
Fuck it.
They just found out.
I did want a moment
of him being like
after he's like
oh man
touching
pecs of Steve
that was great
and like
oh yeah I know you too
I just wanted him to be like
oh Buck
hang on
I just wanted him to be like
oh he's a criminal
what are we doing here
what's this about
and
I know
Anthony Mackie
but
Falcon would have been like
Sam Wilson
this this
but I would have just liked him to be like, oh, wait, hang on.
What?
Yeah.
Just a little bit of a clarification.
But I don't know.
I just really enjoyed it.
That was good.
And I liked the way when he was in the bloody Roth prison,
he was playing the drums on a chair.
That's good.
He just seemed so much more like just a person.
And I really appreciated that.
I think with Ant-Man,
the last third of Ant-Man is significantly better
Than the rest of Ant-Man
That train fight's sick
I mean, Yellowjacket, whatever
It's just another trash Marvel villain
It's another bad version of the good guy
It's just Obadiah Stane again
Which, hey, they've done like nine of them
At this point, and that's alright
Which reminds me
I need to get to
Baron Zemo about this as well actually
but yeah, no, with Ant-Man
yeah, like, because it wasn't just like
he was funny
but he was also like, yeah
it was just genuine, like Spider-Man you were like
clearly this is dialogue written to make me as an audience
member laugh and that's fine, that's good
because that's what Spider-Man should be but
he was just talking and it was just funny because you're like that's his
character and and he felt so real that you're like it is funny that he's like what's going on
and they're like you got anything he's like i can become giant man but it's bad it'll hurt me
the orange slices exactly yeah i haven't seen ant-man but i i loved him i'm like i think it
may be partially because it's like, Paul Rudd.
Yeah, he's an Ant-Man.
You might like Ant-Man more now if you go back and watch it.
Yeah, I feel like I will.
I mean, he doesn't become giant in Ant-Man.
It's kind of rubbish.
He needs to just be giant all the time.
He rides an arrow.
Ant-Man was my peak.
When we did the movie maintenance on Ant-Man where I'm like,
man, Tony Stark should have been the villain.
It would have made more sense,
and it would have made more sense to tie it in this film if you had rather than Yellow Jacket.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
I did like when he got inside Iron Man's suit running about.
That was good.
That was so cool.
He's like, I'm your conscience.
We don't talk very much anymore.
Black Panther thoughts?
Yeah.
I thought he was super nothing-y, but that's just me. They introduced, I like that they didn't try to like to introduce him too much, but they
also didn't introduce him enough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was kind of like, hey, in 10 minutes, we're basically going to give you his backstory
and motivations.
You good?
You good.
Done.
Here you go.
Black Panther.
I really liked Black Panther.
Really?
Yeah.
I thought it was, um, thought it was a very brief introduction,
but you didn't need much.
We don't need to be told that every fucking generation
you get this Black Panther and blah, blah, blah, Phantom,
but Black Panther.
Black Panther.
That's fine.
I thought it was really...
That's what you really needed, really.
Yeah.
I thought his motivations were very clear.
I thought he was very much like...
I liked that he was just stalking around
and every time he landed, it was just silent like a cat.
I don't know, he's just a cat man.
I don't know.
My problem is that I feel like he was very Bucky,
but Bucky was significantly better.
I really like Winter Soldier.
I think Black Panther served that purpose to really move the storyline
because without Black Panther, a lot of this would have been resolved because a lot of the kind of the problems there of captain america being like
stopping bucky from you know doing whatever but black panther's like i'm gonna try and kill him
so yeah yeah i'm escalating the situation fuck you um that reminded me oh yeah that bring me
back to baron zemo He's not quite perfect.
Doesn't quite get there, but he's the most fleshed out and real-ish Marvel villain.
I really liked him as a villain.
His motivation made sense.
He's lost his family.
And it's personal.
But actually personal.
Not just like, I was rich and you're richer.
Isn't that the same villain backstory as Whiplash from Iron Man 2?
Is it? Yes, it is. I backstory as Whiplash from Iron Man 2? Is it?
Yes, it is.
I forgot about Whiplash so much.
Iron Man 2 is a hot shit because they don't explore that properly.
And then they introduce Justin Hammer, who was just a one-day estate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then it turns out that Whiplash is working for him anyway.
So it completely negates.
Yeah, it does.
Where this is Baron Zima's like,
oh, get fucked.
And I did like that,
the bait and switch.
Oh, yeah, that was good.
Of him being like,
okay, if he finds these other people,
we're fucked.
And then he's like,
nah, just shot him in the head.
We need less of you cunts.
A whole bunch of other Winter Soldiers?
Nah.
Well done.
That was good.
I was so expecting a big fight.
Yeah.
I'm kind of glad I didn't get it.
Yeah.
Instead, we got that sick Iron Man V cap V Winter Soldier fight.
That said, with Baron Zemo,
how did he know about the Winter Soldier program
and all of this stuff to start the ball rolling?
That's my only question.
No, didn't he?
I think he explains it.
No, they explain it.
Because when they show the photographs,
when they're doing that thing that Jackson was talking over,
they explain how he knew.
You son of a bitch.
Yeah, because there's that really, really quick plot point
where they reveal that the psychiatrist...
I know that because there's a psychiatrist there.
No, because they show Baron Zemo.
He worked in the army,
and I think he worked with the guy that he drowns
at the start of the movie.
Yeah?
Oh, okay.
I like maybe he is about protocol, whatever it was.
Because I just wanted to know, how did Baron Zemo be like,
okay, I'm pretty sure that the Winter Soldier exists,
and I'm pretty sure that...
Oh, I think they mentioned that it was like when...
What's her face?
No.
Answer my own question.
Black Widow gave all the government leaks.
Oh, yeah, they do say that.
Yeah, they explain it.
And I wasn't talking over that bit.
I was talking over another bit.
Which did confuse me in some way.
So, fuck you still.
Yeah, that's right.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. was Hydra, they leaked all the files.
Black Widow.
I guess that was good.
So, maybe a little bit more emphasis on that.
Maybe?
Just so I could hammer it home because I'm an idiot.
I think the problem is the movie is just quite long.
Yeah.
I mean, like, it's a lot of stuff.
It doesn't feel long.
Like, Batman v Superman is shorter than this.
Oh, that feels like a marathon.
So, see, Batman v Superman, I thought it was, like, three years.
Like, I'm still convinced, as you are with Savages,
that I might still be in the cinema watching BBS. And is my brain's way of coping to be like very douchey one day you're
like you wake up and you're watching Batman vs Superman
fuck I would be bad I would be the worst thing no but when it finished I was like
oh shit it's over I thought it was gonna be like it was gonna do that thing that
um 10 Cloverfield Lane does and I'm trying to think of another example But when this finished, I was like, oh shit, it's over. I thought it was going to be a bit more. Yeah, it seemed like it was going to do that thing that
Tentcovefield Lane does, and I'm trying to think of another
example, where it was like, act one to three
and then a surprise second
third act.
Like a twist, like a twist that would then
bring on a different act.
That is one thing negative about this film, I would say.
We've got a classic
film as Into the Woods. Oh, I love that movie.
It's got, like, on Netflix, nobody likes it.
It's so good.
It's supposed to be like it is.
Spring Breakers is one star.
That's one of my favorite movies.
People don't know shit about how good Spring Breakers is.
They've got it.
But no, like one negative thing about this movie is that there was really no twists.
You don't need twists in a movie.
You don't need twists, but there's no surprises, I'll say.
Yeah.
Say, for example, BVS, right?
There were no surprises because they gave everything away in the trailer.
Whereas in this film, there were no surprises because there just were no surprises.
No, the twist is the fact that all the Winter Soldiers are killed.
Yeah, but you only find out about them a minute before they die. die anyway before we get to things that are garbage tussle i know but
don't just give me the finger why can't you think of anything specific yeah well that's a good review
no but like i just i don't think i thought about it enough since last night
well overthink it overthink it nothing stood out to you that was like super just you like the ant
man yeah no just like that whole fight i guess i'm just like the same thing that we've been talking about
you stole my bit i'm gonna change it you know what i'll cop that i'm gonna change my answer
to the winter soldier oh no the captain america iron man fight at the end that was real emotional
i like the bit where i take that too that's fine no i like the bit where iron man
like you can see it in his face that he thinks he's about to die like it's like the very last
blow where cap has the shield and shoves it into his chest but uh tony thinks it's going for his
face and he's fucked imagine if captain america just beheaded tony stark but it's like how can
you repair that if you think
Like that relationship between the two of them
I agree that bugged me so much throughout the whole film
Like things that bug us
About this film every time they have
A conflict it's then just resolved
Like that he's like I'm gonna cut your head off
I nearly kill you and then he's like
No but lol if you ever need me I'm here
No no the movie is
But Iron Man doesn't forgive him In the film though you and then he's like no but lol if you ever need me i'm here no no the movie is trash but
iron man doesn't forgive him in the film yeah no that's what i'm saying like that's true and like
it really goes to show when he does like cap america does go to take off his head iron man
thinks that like he thinks that he's going for his head and that's a real cool moment that fight is
fucked but in a good way like it's this movie it does dark properly that's true but it's also
really light in some spots it's like it does a very like non-naturalistic shift in a few points
where it's like oh no well yeah because like i think that's the thing like with that superhero
fight like they say a few times in that like like clint and nat well i don't know why i don't use their superhero names
but clint's a gnat yeah when they're just punching on a bit clint's like we're still friends though
and i know she no nat says we're still friends aren't we clint's like that's how hard you hit
yeah like you know that there's no stakes but then all of a sudden like there is no stakes in
that fight and then all of a sudden there's heaps of stakes like
when there's that individually there's no stakes like between clinton and natasha there's no stakes
but then one does like fuck you and just grabs um natasha just flings her around then just grabs
black panther and flings him off i guess so there is sort of there there is sort of there's tension
there and it's about as much tension as we're going to get with a comic book film.
Because comic book films, look, comic books and comic book films.
Mates aren't going to kill mates.
A lot of comic books, it's just status quo.
You look at Civil War, the actual comic book event.
They were like, all right, we've got to upstake.
So we're just going to kill Black Goliath, who no one really knows about,
to show that, yes, people people do get killed but we can't
kill the mainstayers because of course we fucking can't yeah yeah so it's unfortunate that we're not
gonna get that sort of not dark and gritty but at least those sort of stakes but these stakes are
raised so i think as high as they're gonna be able to get an mc universe where's nick fury yeah i was
thinking that last night he's dead he's He's like, no, no, no.
They're like, Nick, we could really use your help.
He's like, I'm dead.
I'm dead when it comes to bullshit.
I promise.
Is it an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. thing?
No, because Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
They separate them pretty good.
Yeah, well, sort of.
They tried to.
At first they were like, no, it's the same universe.
And now they've separated pretty good because the head of Marvel.
Is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. a different world to this one? No, it's not. It's like an alternate timeline. Now they've separated pretty good because the head of Marvel... The head of Marvel...
It's actually on a different world to this one.
No, it's not.
It's like an alternate timeline.
It was meant to be the same.
Yeah.
But then I'm going to butcher this story.
But pretty much my understanding of it, and I think it's vague enough that works, is like
Marvel used to be run by two guys and then they separated and now one's in charge of
movies, one's in charge of TV.
And the one that's in charge of TV and the one that's
in charge of TV
was the one that made
a lot of the bad decisions
in the movie
Ike Perlmutter
Ike Perlmutter
made a lot
so like shit things
that happened in movies
were mostly his fault
Ike Perlmutter
his call could be here
so I don't know
you know what
Ike Perlmutter
is a fucking cunt
and I'm going on record
saying it
let him die
he is very
very old
like he doesn't get seen
in the public eye
like he's probably gone soon
but he's the kind of person
that was like
what we're having
a press junction
alright how
why are we giving
the journos like two cokes
give them one coke
save money
and shit like that
like we're not hiring chairs
let them stand
like very very frugal
to the point of ridiculous
considering how much money
these films make.
Probably hates women as well.
Well he donated a lot to
I want to say Trump.
There it is.
There it is.
Black Panther? Nah.
White Panther.
Black winner? Nah.
White man. It's like. No. White man.
It's like Black Panther comes out.
It's like, awesome.
And then he just takes off his mask.
And it's just this white guy.
He's like, we thought you were African.
He's like, yes, South African.
Oh, imagine.
Does that mean Daredevil is like a separate?
No, Daredevil and the Netflix series, I think,
are made by, actually, I are made by actually I don't know
I don't know
I think what's gonna happen
is that
in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
they'll probably keep doing it
Jessica Jones
and Daredevil
and all the TV things
they'll reference things
that happen in the movies
but I don't think
we'll ever get a team up
and thank God
because oh my God
that is way too many characters
exactly
it is and it isn't
like
because how good would
Hawkeye be
teaming up with Daredevil
how good would a Hawkeye original
TV show would be
in the TV universe having the movie characters is good
but the other way around
because if Daredevil had shown up to the big
airport punchline
he'd be like Daredevil get the fuck out
get back to Hell's Kitchen you dickhead
what do you do
if Jessica Jones
would be there
be like
you know
let's just maybe
go back to detectiving
there's a guy here
who's a god
basically
don't fight gods
oh there is
too much
but I would love
I would have always
loved to seen a Hawkeye
no you just want team ups
you just want individual
team ups
but you can't
you're not going to get that
but did
did this movie
and I'm not saying
necessarily that it did
but did this movie have like good evidence that you can do a film with a massive roster of
characters with all different powers without it becoming too much yes i think that this managed
it significantly better than joss whedon and avengers 2 did yeah this like this is probably
the best marvel film since guardians of galaxy yeah i'm gonna say it probably the best Marvel film since Guardians of the Galaxy. Yeah.
I'm going to say it's the best Marvel film since...
I'm going to say it's the second best Marvel film.
Winter Soldier's better.
Oh, yeah, look, I think Winter Soldier is better.
Iron Man 3 is still my favorite.
I know that people have strong opinions.
My issue with it is not that, like...
I think it's fun, but I think it makes a lot of trash decisions
that some of them are...
The things that I hate in superhero movies like film things not like i don't care if fucking whatever his name
is an actor that's sick that was good that was the best move best move in the game you hate quips
but that is solely so that it's just all that's not quips no you don't know what a quip is no
that reveal isn't a quip. That reveal is a gag.
Yeah, it's a gag.
But every line that that character says,
every line that Trevor says is a quip.
No, because it's in- So I don't like a quip.
And I was thinking about this last night
as I drifted off to a peaceful slumber.
What a quip does-
A furious slumber.
What a quip does is a quip undermines
the universe of a character.
Okay?
So a quip is like a quip undermines the universe of a character okay so a quip is like a line oh yeah
that's good what was that ring where's that from whose phone was that it's not mine mine's on
where did it come from what the fuck corner what is over there i don't know let's just keep recording
and hope it happens again ghosts Ghosts. Keep going.
So, like, a line that I loved in this film, but I also kind of hated,
was when Captain America throws his shield at Spider-Man,
and Spider-Man's like, your shield doesn't even obey the laws of physics.
Okay?
That's a quip.
And the reason that's a quip is because that's to us, the audience,
not to Captain America.
You know what I mean?
So it's kind of like almost breaking the fourth wall, but not quite. You hate quips that break the fourth wall. But that's all quips.
That's what a quip is. If it's not breaking the fourth wall,
it's a gag.
Because in Star Wars,
what bugged me was every time they made a reference
to the previous Star Wars in a kind of wink, wink,
nudge, nudge to the camera.
Because that's a quip. Because that's saying like, hey,
we're films.
Trash compactor. Yeah, there you go.
Bam.
That was the main one.
I loved Star Wars.
I saw it four times.
Jackson, why are you doing this?
You're making me...
But you got a point.
So that's why the fucking demand...
Because I liked that line,
and I reckon that keep that line in.
Civil war.
Team Joel. However wins, we lose um no but that that's why that's why mandarin was fine because that was his character it was
within universe it wasn't a wink wink nudge nudge to us the audience like because a lot of the other
like quips that spider-man said weren't so much quips they were just part of this characterization
yeah and that's fine but then when he's like Like fighting yeah Falcon
And him just being like oh cool what is that
Is this thing what are you made out of
And he's just like yeah
He's such a nerd it's wonderful
He's such a little wiener
Who for some reason doesn't quite like grab the gravity
Of the situation
Like honestly what did Iron Man say to him
On the way there
like it can't have been enough i did say that like captain america is bad or whatever yeah but
does that mean that like parker is just this crazy fearless guy oh no he says to captain he says
because the line in the film because cap talks to spider-man at one point and spider-man's like
he says that you're really like he says you're really
determined and nothing
will stop you and that
makes you bad or
something because you
think you're right
that makes you dangerous
yeah yeah yeah and then
Cap's like yep and then
he just drops like a
thing on him and that
was clues holding up a
thing and he's just like
where are you from
Queen
Cap doesn't know what
Spider-Man's powers are
that is true and funny
he doesn't know that
he's gonna survive that
if he's not got any
strength dead like a bug just got him powers are that is true and funny he doesn't know that he's gonna survive that if he's not got any strength
dead
squish
like a bug
just got him
splash
squish
squish that spider
yeah I was noticing
in that fight
everyone's like
dude he's like 16
guys put your punches
stop
like really
that should have been
the conflict of the fight
yeah
like the moment
Spider-Man comes out
and Captain America's like
how old is this kid
well they say that
when it makes Empire Strikes Back reference.
Yeah, no, but they say that to people on his own team.
It's not Captain America being like, Tony Stark, are you fighting with a child?
Did you make a child fight?
This guy shoots missiles at a kid.
What's wrong with you?
The only thing I can think of is that they because it never really says how iron man
figured out that peter parker was spider-man but that's good they make it sound no that's fine but
based on the photos and stuff like that and the fact it says he's been spider-manning for six
months there is a chance to captain america like the team is aware of probably actually no that's
a good point like because they would have been...
They're aware of him.
Yeah, like, there would have been probably a meeting
at the Avengers mansion with, you know,
like, Vision in his sweater just being like,
hey, have you seen this guy?
He's pretty rad.
And everyone's like, that's some pretty sick moves.
Yeah, because Tony says to, like,
not like, oh, my guy's around here,
kind of like, wherever.
Yeah, I've got a plan.
Yeah, and it's like i know a
guy yeah that's it where's my guys downstairs where's your guy queens giant fonts no fuck those
giant wes anderson fonts oh no that was super good because the movie jumped around heaps like a lot
it made it really easy to follow where we were. It also was visually different,
because every...
That's true.
Like, oh, like a little font that says fucking London down the bottom.
Oh, this could be fucking Crank.
Every movie does that,
where this giant font was like, that's interesting.
It also meant that it gave you an establishing shot,
and where it was at the same time.
I liked it, but maybe the white and the font,
maybe they could have had a different...
Yeah, the particular font itself was the most annoying thing.
Yeah, it wasn't necessarily that they made big words.
That's fine.
It's just calm down.
No, more.
Every time a character's on screen.
Big things and make little spirals behind it.
No, no, no, don't do that.
No, just leave the white font, but want it every time a character's on screen
as well, like Captain America.
Iron Man. That seems so very like
70s-esque in a way.
Perfect. But it just seems so tonally
wrong. That's what my issue was.
No, they stopped doing it when the movie got dark.
That's because they stopped moving when the movie
got dark.
Also, it doesn't fit in with the previous two Captain America films.
It's like, the Captain America films that are really quite different.
Yeah, that's true.
A big thing didn't crash into a small thing, and that's good.
Would you have watched this film and known what was going on
if you had never seen an Avenger film or never seen a Captain America film?
Not at all.
Absolutely.
You would have known what was going on? Yep.
Because it establishes it in
when it shows all the damages that have been done.
Because at this point it's pretty much
impossible. It would be impossible
to live in this world to
watch this movie and not know
that it's like, as in like, you know
the Avengers movies exist. And you at least
know the Captain America films exist. And I kind of think
it's a weird argument.
Even though it's a report.
But it's like, why would you watch this as your first one?
Well, no, it's fine.
It works as a first one.
I think you understand it, but you just might not like it.
I reckon that the Captain America movies,
all three of them,
you could just watch without watching any Avengers films,
which is good because they're not numbered.
No, you would be so confused.
You could watch one and two,
but three, I think
you need at least a couple of Iron Man films.
No, you don't.
Alright, because like...
Because actually think about how long it takes for them
to explain what's
sort of going on. The second scene?
The first time where we see Iron Man
and it explains what happened? Yeah, that's like
three scenes in.
They have the flashback to
1991 with Winter Soldier. But then
we don't know what's going on and we've seen 12 films.
Yes, we do. I was like, that's Winter Soldier.
Okay, and that's the code book because
he's a KGB spy.
How would Stark get shot
by, or strangled, whatever, by
Winter Soldier? We knew that in
Captain America 2.
I don't think so.
I watched it the other day.
It's not toward the end because I watched that when I got home from the film.
And I don't think it was in the style at all because I remember being like,
wait, when did Cap find this out?
Yeah, when did Cap find it?
Because I'm aware that Cap, I'm aware that I knew that happened.
Like, weirdly.
Really?
Is it in a comic?
No.
I just...
In the pop culture, Zygust or whatever you call it,
I knew that Winter Soldier was responsible for Howard and Mother Stark dying.
But I don't know how I know that.
Was it someone doing something?
Was it a Mr. Sunday Sunday movies fucking things we missed?
Am I going to blame James for this?
James, I'm calling you out.
Yeah, I didn't know.
It was a shock to me, but I didn't think it was a particularly good twist.
But I did like how it then changed Tony Stark.
Yeah, I get it.
Because Tony Stark went from being like,
we have responsibility, blah, blah, blah.
But then it's like, no, this cunt killed my mum.
What it did, as a catalyst, it was good,
but I just don't think it was a good catalyst,
if you know what I mean.
So, like, I like what it did,
and I like the way it changed the game,
and I like the way it shook things up.
But I thought it was... I just like how it turned Tony.
Yeah, like, I agree.
But I thought it was just sort of like...
That said...
Like as a twist, you were like, oh, okay.
I think I made this to you last night.
Yeah.
This film and say Avengers 2, Age of Ultron.
Yeah.
This...
Because to me, this film felt a little bit like an epilogue to Age of Ultron.
Yeah.
And could you imagine if we got like a lot of the Age of Ultron stuff
and just real trimmed a lot of the age of ultron stuff and just real trimmed a
lot of that fat and condense that into almost two acts yeah and then this one you condense it into
one act and there you almost have like one kind of continuation of the film because it kind of is
yeah we have all the bullshit we think we're doing good in sokovia all that happens but then we have
the fallout which which is this,
which kind of makes a nice third act.
Yeah.
And if you were to kind of really, really, really trim
and cut the fat and that kind of stuff,
it would look kind of like a nicer story.
Because you suggested, or you said last night,
that was this a film?
Well, just a lot of neat things occurring for us to look at.
Which I know, Will, there's Joel Dush's mouth opening up.
No, I opened my mouth.
Because I have brought upon his ire.
No, no, no, it's fine.
The reason I was silent is because I just had a quick look at Howard's...
Fuck.
Oh, cute little baby douches.
I usually edit these out, but no, I keep going.
That's dumb.
We talked over them too.
I just had a quick look at Howardard stark's like marvel cinematic universe facebook uh not facebook page added him on facebook i'm waiting for a chat um waiting
for an accept apparently he's dead so it could be coming a long time anyway um and yeah it mentions
like it doesn't mention the events of civil war on the page but it does mention that he died in
an accident that was secretly arranged by hydra so it must, like, it doesn't mention the events of Civil War on the page, but it does mention that he died in an accident that was secretly arranged by Hydra.
So it must be mentioned somewhere.
It might just be mentioned that he's killed by Hydra, which it is actually, I think, but
it might just not be specifically.
I think in Winter Soldier.
Wait, it is James's fault.
No.
No.
Because he does mention Hydra and I think he was like 10 Easter egg things or whatever.
It might be Winter Soldier.
Maybe that's why.
Yeah.
Because I think, yeah, in Winter Soldier, there's like a thing of like,
oh, we were behind these things and it flashes up some deaths.
Okay.
Including like Fury and Howard and someone else.
Yeah, I think that was it.
That scene in the bunker with...
Computer Man.
Computer Man.
Oh, and it makes sense to why Captain America,
because his answer is more just
like i figured yeah not like i knew for sure because with the fucking winter soldier like
you know that he's he's like hydra's assassin the movie establishes that so captain america
could have easily made that leap like as in like yeah okay no that's fine yeah oh the movie's like
i said for some reason like i know this like yeah i think we would have all just made exactly the
same leap yeah yeah i think we get no but with this film oh going back to
something that happened just because i was on my phone trying to figure this question out for like
five minutes and then i sneezed and it was bad um i think that you could watch civil war like
it establishes enough that's several questions but all right miles we've moved on i know just
let me finish because at the start it shows all the kill counts and stuff like that.
So you know that they're bad.
Like, they've done bad.
You also get Wanda blowing up the building, which is the most tragic thing I think we've ever seen.
Oh, she's so good.
She's so heartbroken.
And I'm like.
And even Captain America looks like, oh, fuck.
I wanted more of that.
Yeah.
As in, more of that persecution of Wanda.
Like, you know, Speedball in the comics,
how he was like a fucked up bad time and everyone's like wanting his blood
and wanting him to go to jail.
That would have been nice to show with Wanda a bit.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a scene
that features like a protest or something
that got cut out of the film.
Because I know that...
In the news report, they're like blaming Wanda.
Yeah.
What? In Age of Ultron, what did Wanda do?
She was bad for a bit and then was good.
Oh, that's right.
She became good.
Okay, just Wanda.
She was a bad bloke who became a good bloke.
And her brother died and she was dead.
Also, she got real over her brother very quick.
Yeah, that's not mentioned at all.
At all.
Did everyone just put a kibosh on it?
Yeah. Everyone was just like a kibosh on it? Yeah.
Everyone was just like, don't talk about it.
Don't talk about the creature.
Maybe just like the whole vision being nice,
being like, oh, I'll look after you.
Where were you going to mention Quicksilver
that wasn't just going to be a reference?
Like, hey.
It just seemed someone who just lost a brother.
She didn't seem very like that upset.
Well, how long ago did it happen?
I guess we don't know.
About a year. A fair while.
About a year.
Is it a year?
Yeah.
Okay.
Even if we say a year,
we just want her
when she's standing in the street
just to be crying.
I don't know.
Just even a minute.
No,
but she seemed like
she was not emotionally stable
in that film.
I mean,
we saw her blow up a guy.
Crossbones, he ate shit real quick.
Crossbones, we were like, is he going to be a major villain?
No.
No, not at all.
Is Crossbones going to kill Captain America?
No, because Captain America's not going to die.
Did Captain America maybe become Nomad, though?
Yes, he did.
Fight with a whip.
Whip and net.
Whip and net.
The best weapon you can use.
Licorice whip.
Right? He just gets like a pot plant on his head We'll see what happens
I hope it was a divo hat
That'd be alright
No but this film
Watch as I just like
Cop it from Dushan real quick
Yes
I'm so afraid
Shut the fuck up
I won't interject This movie to me Yes. I'm so afraid. Shut the fuck up.
I won't interject.
Okay.
This movie to me was a lot of nice things to watch, but not much of a movie.
It seemed to me like the first third was kind of dull.
Then there was a big extended, hey, look at the heroes we got fight, which was my favorite bit.
And none of these are criticisms, really, because, hey, I came out of it happy and tired.
And then the end bit was just sort of like a,
and then we've wrapped it up with another neat fight.
The end.
Move on.
Yeah, it didn't really work.
It didn't feel succinct.
It didn't feel like a solid beginning,
a reasonable middle,
and then we wrap it up with the end.
It just felt like neat stuff.
Whoa.
Neat stuff.
Yeah.
I kind of agree with you,
but at the same time,
there is some simple things there.
And when you look at it like,
what did it kind of do?
I guess you had a bunch of Avengers go underground.
And also,
the reason that you feel like this is the same way.
It's because it's a movie where the plot is constantly changing,
like evolving.
So it's like a thing causes another thing, which causes another thing another thing which causes another thing where the whole movie isn't just one
a lot of this movie also to me
you know a sitcom
where like
classic episode of Roseanne
where Dan
has a misunderstanding
with his wife Roseanne
and the whole plot of the episode is Dan thinks one thing
but Roseanne thinks another and whole plot of the episode is Dan thinks one thing,
but Roseanne thinks another.
And they could have just spoken about it. And at the end of the episode, Dan's like, hey, this.
And Roseanne's like, oh, well, gee, none of that was worth anything, really.
Credits.
That's one fact about Roseanne.
They never do that.
They don't do dumb sitcom stuff like that.
That's why it was so groundbreaking.
So, for instance, in one episode they get uh dan
gets a job uh-huh and he gets a 500 advance payment and because they're a blue collar family
with three kids they're like they're not poor poor but they're but hey 500 they're struggling
like is it like it they have to like make ends meet hashtag struggle street yeah like they're
not saving money every paycheck kind of thing they They're not buying nice cars. Dan's trying to build a boat as a hobby in his garage.
And that's nice.
Yeah.
Whereas Anne's just getting by.
And yeah, they balance all the checks and stuff.
And then they have $11 left.
And like, we should buy ourselves something.
And they're like, nah, we should save it.
And then both of them go and buy the thing they want.
And then they have a like joke argument about it.
But then they're like, nah, look, being poor is hard.
And then that's the end.
That's good. That is good. So good so rather than being like oh what a classic
misunderstanding it's like ah we both did wrong i still love you roseanne sounds just delightful
and that is why it's a groundbreaking great show um i've spoken about like this almost
happened yesterday but now we've got me on the roseanne train whoops um So, yeah, I agree with Jack for a sec.
It's just that, and you could kind of,
a lot of this stuff could be resolved with really just sitting down
and talking it through.
But they mention that.
They try to.
They try to.
And then, like, I think Cap Merrick is chatting to Sam Wilson
and being like, well, there's information that, you know,
it wasn't Bucky.
It was all this kind of bullshit.
Do we go to Stark?
And they're like, is he even going to listen?
And you could say, given the benefit of the doubt,
and with due process, it might happen.
No.
But they just kind of-
Do you know why they also can't do that?
Something you mentioned earlier in this episode,
Black Panther trying to kill Bucky.
Yeah, but Black Panther trying to kill him.
Because, yeah, you could sort it out,
but then you add all the personal vendettas on top of it yeah this movie is very
so it is it's very good that way and i love that a lot of this all the fucking personal vendetta
stuff comes from family and it's so good love familiar you got baron zemo being like you killed
my kids or my kid and my wife and my pa you got you know iron man being like you killed mama and my dad but
mostly mama you've you got even in the to cut to chawa wakanda wakanda good old wakanda saying you
know you killed you killed king wakanda and now i'm gonna kill you um but i'm also a bit of black
panther that's good and so it's really nice You also got the Sharon Carter thing Helping out Captain America
Because he was so nice
To Peggy
I did think
Oh you thought
That Sharon Carter
Was going to be
An extra
Winter Soldier
And I'm like
That's going to be
A cool reveal
Oh
Didn't happen
Never mind
Imagine they do that
In the next movie
I did think
Here's a Thor
And a Hulk in space
Captain America
Just got fucking shot
Off screen
Oh dead
They come back to Earth And they're like What happened They're like Oh Sharon Carter Shot Captain America I did fucking shot. Off screen. Oh, dead. They come back to Earth
and they're like,
what happened?
They're like,
oh,
Sharon Carter
shot Captain America.
I think I did want that.
I did want maybe
not so much a death.
It's funny because
yesterday you said,
I would be more surprised
if they don't kill someone.
I hope they don't
because that would be
a nice review.
I mean,
I kind of wanted
a bit more like
paralyzing
double-sided people.
That was a bad sentence. You wanted more. You wanted more espsided people. Yeah. That was a bad sentence.
You wanted more espionage.
Yeah.
You wanted more double agents.
You wanted Winter Soldier again.
I guess somewhat a bit more of a surprise because, you know, it's like-
Some of these pale hydras.
Yeah.
But Black Widow, she stops Black Panther from-
Black Widow.
A lot of black things.
Black Widow stops Black Panther-
Excuse me?
From taking down the Quinjet yeah and you're like yeah
we knew that she'd do that like that's not a surprise um sharon carter helping out steve
rogers not a surprise yeah uh and so it'd be nice if there was maybe more double agents and maybe
someone was nobody seemed to react like normal people also Also, I think it's canon now.
Hawkeye hates his family.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Hawkeye hates his fam.
No, his family hate him.
No, isn't there a bit where he's like-
Hawkeye, bad dad?
He's like, I let them down.
I was supposed to go skiing.
Yeah, but then later on, he says something about like,
thank God you got me away from the alternative or something.
He did not want to go skiing with the fam.
He didn't want to go skiing with his family even a little bit like when he's in jail he's like well
i guess this is better than the alternative yeah unless it's sarcastic no he's like it's better
than the alternative as in death maybe i don't know i think he just hates his family i like that
everyone else is about like family and like we've got to you know avenge that one and he's like
just send me away send me me away. Oh my God.
I've got no time for that.
I wish instead I was bow and arrowing.
I liked at one point in the fight,
they're like,
okay, we'll match them up.
Okay.
So you got like,
Captain America is fighting Iron Man.
That's good.
You got your Black Widow
is kind of going up against whoever.
Hawkeye.
Yeah.
Then it's like,
no, but there was a bit where Hawkeye
and the Vision are fighting.
You're like,
Hawkeye, pick your battle.
Or was that when he goes to get Wanda Maybe but why don't fight Vision
Nobody should fight Vision
Wanda is the only one who can
Yeah exactly
I did like it when Vision fucked up and yeah paralyzed
War Machine
I really liked War Machine in this
I don't know why but I was super into it
I liked when he had a billy club
Yeah I was like fuck I hope War Machine in this. I don't know why, but I was super into it. I liked when he had a billy club.
Yeah.
I was like,
fuck,
I hope War Machine just fights by smacking people in their club.
Well,
it's like,
this won't kill you,
but it's going to bloody hurt.
Yeah,
exactly.
And he was doing,
like when he unleashed on Giant Man.
Oh,
when he was swinging the thing
and he unleashed all his weapons
and just decimated them.
Like a truck.
Yeah,
that was really cool.
Yeah,
War Machine was cool.
That fight was so good.
That fight was good.
And also,
paralyzing War Machine is a good way to remove some of the heroes.
You're not like, well, he's sick now.
We just need to kill him.
Because we've had so many fake deaths in the Marvel Cinematic Universe now.
I just didn't want him walking.
I know he's struggling.
But he will.
By the next time we see War Machine,'ll have magic robot legs I kind of wanted him
in a wheelchair
I mean it's a bit of a cop out
very cliche
but just
but also people would be like
but Tony
like you're so good
at making things
why didn't you make him
what's wrong with him
we would be making
that argument
yeah yeah
we would
maybe shoot off a leg
I just think
no you'd still be like
why doesn't he have
robot legs
yeah make a leg listen to our podcast they gave Bucky be like, why doesn't he have robo legs?
Listen to our podcast. They gave Bucky a robo leg.
Give him a fucking robo leg, Stark.
Even now, why is Tony Stark like,
I'll just give you weird leg struts.
I think it's rehabilitation at this point.
Chop off his leg.
Give him leg treads.
Anyway,
it was good.
I'm glad that that happened
and yeah
it was Vision's fault
and that also
that also
makes it scary
cause
like they never addressed that
yeah
it's a fate worse than death
no but I don't
you mean they're like
Vision's dangerous
yeah
it's nice that
you can kill a character
but it's like
hey we can also do other things
like maim them
and also
cause like Winter Soldier had a good fake
out with nick fury but when you add in the fake out of colson the fake out of looks like hawkeye's
gonna die kill kill in quicksil like you've had so many deaths recently where i'm glad they just
didn't kill someone yeah yeah they didn't need to cap's clearly gonna go underground and pop up in
probably infinity war part two yep oh actually winter soldier they froze him as well they got Cap's clearly going to go underground and pop up in probably Infinity War Part 2. Yep.
Oh, actually, Winter Soldier.
They froze him as well.
They got rid of him.
I said this last night, but I kind of wish that, because it was like, freezing him was like in the credits kind of bit.
I wish it had been part of the film, because I know that when we go to see a Marvel film,
we know that that is there, but it still feels kind of removed and less like it's actually part of the story
yeah
it's like a little bonus
even though it's
like and that should have
been part of the story
because that should have
been how it ended
for Captain America
because it was
Captain America's film
yeah
but instead we got
basically Tony Stark's end
no do you remember
what happened at the end
of the movie
yeah he goes
Nomad
yeah I know
but that was more like a
and guess what
he's Nomad now
that's the after credit bit
yeah
yeah exactly
don't swap it around
or have both in
don't swap it around
but you should put
fucking that
them
that should have been
before the ending
but then they should have
had like a
a stinger that's not related
maybe purple hawk
doing something
yeah
that would have been
a nice stinger
because they always do that
with the two stingers now
the one stinger is directly
related to what just
happened usually like an epilogue it's an epilogue it was an epilogue what was the like That would have been a nice stinger. Because they always do that with the two stingers now. The one stinger is directly related to what just happened, usually.
Like an epilogue.
It's an epilogue.
It was an epilogue.
What was the post-credits thing?
Post-post-credits scene was...
Spidey.
Oh, Spider-Man.
Oh, that was nonsense.
He's like, I guess I got a magic watch that makes a computer on the roof.
But that was a gift from Tony Stark.
Was it?
I thought...
Because he mentioned a guy from the Bronx. No, no mentioned no no he's talking about his black eye like what happens
yeah and he's like a guy his friend was really big what quip quip right there that's a quip
why does he need to bring it up with aunt may that's a fucking quip that's for us i hate it
oh i hate it anyway i don't understand like i what was that
spider what why what's the computer oh yeah you can access oh right no you know i can in batman
how they have the bat signal and then that was like really well developed and they told you how
how that works yeah yeah so that's that's actually spider-man equivalent this is just okay this is
because you know how in Batman V Superman,
you're like,
this bat signal
is going to be a major plot point.
Yeah.
So we're going to real focus on it
and explain what that means
and who can turn that on
and why people use that.
So,
same kind of thing.
Oh,
okay,
okay,
no,
I'm bored now.
But instead,
they're like,
we won't use it as a plot point
because we don't have time
to explain it.
So we're just going to have
a bit of a stinger
so we can be like,
I guess now I can access
some S.H.I.E.L.D. files or whatever. Super good. Fuck you, Batman V Superman. Shit, fucking shit. to explain it so we're just going to have a bit of a stinger so we can be like I guess now I can access some shield files
or whatever
super good
fuck you Batbeat
these two men
shit fucking friends
alright Matt
okay so it's just
sort of like
Tony Stark deck
so it's just a computer
they gave him
like a sick computer
it's like a
probably where the Avengers
can be like
like Avengers card
you know what I mean
like we can contact you
I don't know why
I pointed at my stomach
call me reach me
if you want to beat me
exactly
we can probably also do
some of those
like hand move things where you can like make things like Minori Report style yeah Stomach, but... Call me, reach me, if you want to beat me. Yeah. Exactly. They can probably also do some of those hand-move things
where you can make things...
Black Minari Report style?
Yeah.
How ever I'm going to be cool.
Anybody find it weird
that Ant-Man's wrist gauntlet
was almost exactly the same design
as Hawkman's wrist gauntlet?
Falcon?
Sorry, Red Bird.
I did like how Falcon was like,
man, he's dressed up like a cat.
What a piece of shit. Well, everyone's thinking to themselves, like, he's dressed up like a cat. What a piece of shit.
Well, everyone's thinking to themselves, like, you're a bird.
Shut up.
Yeah, because cat eat bird.
That was cute.
That's scary for you.
That was cute when the cat man just jumped on bird man.
Yeah.
And I'm like, oh, it's like nature.
Also when he shot Red Wing at...
At Iron Man's face.
Yeah, it was good.
And earlier when
Nat's like, oh, thank
you for helping me. And he's like, no,
thank the bird.
Or thank...
She's like, I won't.
Red Wing, how it's all technical
and like a technological thing is so much better
than in the actual comics where he has a telepathic
link to an actual bird.
So props to that.
Well done.
Swap Redwing with just a real well-trained
eagle and it's super cool.
Shoot an eagle in
Tony Stark's face.
Just have a lot
of eagles on retainer.
Yeah.
That was good.
Black Widow had so many bikes.
Very disposable. That was good.
Black Widow in the first fight fights with motorbikes
They're like her weapon of choice
Like at first she like drives a motorbike
Into someone leaps off the motorbike
And then like a scene later
She's on another motorbike and she does the same move
Is S.H.I.E.L.D like please stop
What was the bioweapon for
It doesn't matter
No that's good.
No, no, but who do you reckon it's for?
Thanos.
That wasn't like a plot hummer.
Who do you reckon he was going on?
Who do you reckon he was doing that for?
I always thought they were getting vibranium.
No, they were getting a bioweapon.
Yeah.
Because, no, Crossbones just wants to...
Is Crossbones just being a merc, yeah?
Is Crossbones just being a merc, but then he's like,
well, fuck you
Yeah
Oh no because he wants revenge because Captain America dropped a building
So maybe he'd have a bit of speculation but that went
Like fucking nowhere
I don't know any other Marvel characters except me
No no no I'm trying to think
Like because Crossbones mentions
Just before he dies before he blows himself up
That um
He's got a vendetta
with captain america retro reference as well yeah yeah wait what because he blows himself up like
nitro yeah oh right oh right like i just liked how they they took a lot of stuff from the um
civil war and made it their own which is yeah yeah that's good and like weapon x program
fuck you for having weapon x we'll make our own weapon x and then we're just gonna kill them all
fuck you fox fuck you fox you know what my favorite part of this movie that i just remembered Fuck you for having Weapon X We'll make our own Weapon X And then we're just gonna kill them all Fuck you Fox
Fuck you Fox
You know what
My favourite part of this movie
That I just remembered
Is that they all but guaranteed
A man thing film
They didn't guarantee a man thing film
There's the raft
The prison
And the raft means that there'll be
The Thunderbolts
The gang made up of prisoners
From the raft
And who is the vehicle
That the Thunderbolts is why it's good
mate man they don't own the rights the man man thing rights will be cheap as shit 20 bucks 20
bucks and an apple and you'll get man things right 20 bucks and pay exactly and pay for the remainder
of my lunch but no they just don't have the rights for it. They'll get them. They didn't have the rights for Spider-Man.
Who's demanding a fucking Man-Thing film except for you?
This boy right here.
And no one else.
Correct.
Hey, but people will probably demand a Thunderbolts,
because everybody loved that comic.
Actually, a Thunderbolts film would be kind of interesting.
Exactly.
Plus a Hunter-Man thing.
Because it's run by Hawkeye.
Because that was Hawkeye's like
I'm not an Avenger, I'm going to run my own Avenger team
Thunderbolts would be good
Oh wait no
That'll just be Marvel version of Suicide Squad
Yeah but they're not like
No bomb collars
No they do though
They're bombs in their heads
Yeah but they're not like Quip City like Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad's also not going to be Quip City.
It's going to be Quip fucking crazy.
No, Suicide Squad's going to be balls to the wall bullshit.
Don't get the two confused.
Dag-tastic.
No.
Gags are good.
It's not going to be funny.
People keep thinking it's going to be really funny.
It's not.
Gag-tastic.
They were saying they had a fucking psychologist on set at first,
and then they'll be like,
oh, it's so dark and edgy
that all our actors are actively trying to kill themselves.
Didn't Jared Leto send people used condoms?
He sure did in a dead rat.
That's a sex crime.
After they finished, though.
It wasn't during.
That's a good point.
I could be wrong.
That's very funny.
Jared, stop it.
You're basically a sex pest now.
You're a sex criminal.
We're going to...
We might prosecute you.
It's like, use condoms and a couple of other weird things.
Dead rat and shit like that.
I like dead rat.
It was an alive rat.
It was an alive rat for Margot Robbie to look after.
An alive rat in a condom.
It was dead frogs, I think.
I like that Heath Ledger is like,
okay, I'm going to become the Joker.
So he does it quite quietly.
He gets a diary that he writes to kind of get in the mood
Jared Leto's like, condoms?
Is this an excuse to commit sex crime?
Also
Jared Leto, you're a sex pest
Also, Jared Leto and Heath Ledger
Okay, Heath Ledger
The Joker is not a prestigious role
It shouldn't be, it's just a comic book villain
Who gives a fuck?
Jack Nicholson didn't want to do it.
He was like, this is trash.
And the only reason that they gave it to him is because...
The only reason he accepted it is because they were like,
oh, we'll sign Robert Williams and he's taking all your roles.
And then Jack Nicholson was like, no, he can get fucked.
I'll take it back.
And then Robert Williams was very, very pissed at him.
Yeah, Robert Williams was like...
And then they were like, hey, do you want to be Riddler?
And he's like, how about you eat a fat dick?
Imagine Robin Williams' Joker.
That would be amazing.
He would have just been a...
Yeah, it would have been.
Anyway, but then just because Heath Ledger died,
everyone's like, fuck, the Joker's such a dark part.
Because his performance was good.
Yeah.
Yeah, but if he lived and his performance was good,
no one would give a shit.
No, they would just not... There wouldn't be so much mystique
Yeah the Joker
Oh my god you're playing a comic book villain
Fuck that must be rude
You're playing a very iconic comic book villain
There's a difference between somebody being like
I've got the role of Loki
Yeah but Lex Luthor is probably just as famous as the Joker
But the only reason the Joker is famous
More famous now is because of... Yeah, but it's not
because he died. It's because it was a good performance.
I reckon if he lived, and I know that everyone had this
conversation ten years ago when it happened,
he wouldn't have...
He might have still got the Academy. He wouldn't have won.
I know that they said that. You reckon he wouldn't have?
Who would have won
instead? Don't know. I can't remember.
No, look,
I'm happy. It's fine like he fledges
role like he put in a very good performance but the role doesn't need to be like you don't need
to be like oh fuck i'm gonna harass my co-star no of course no i'm not saying that also you're
an actor the whole thing is like rock up be like hey everyone i'm jared and when the camera starts
rolling i'm gonna pretend to be a man called the Joker. Get ready for that.
But it's that getting in that role.
It's that Daniel Day-Lewis style.
Method acting is fucked.
It's stupid.
I'm not impressed.
There's method acting in it.
It's just like fucked.
Fucked acting.
What's his name?
Ashton Kutcher to prepare for the role of Steve Jobs.
He's like, I i'm gonna do the diet
that steve jobs did but to stop halfway through because he was just fucking up his pancreas good
yeah and then also fucking charlito again was like i'm gonna do chapter 27 or whatever that
book's called you know what he did to get fat he got ice cream because he's apparently he's like a
vegetarian or something yeah ice cream and just put olive oil in it and drank it and got a wheelchair
and refused to walk
everywhere
like even around
his apartment
just wheeled around
that's awesome
that was when he played
Mark David Chapman
yeah
and then that movie
was critically panned
yeah
fuck off Jared Leto
stop being a sex pest
I know that you're
listening to this
because you're a big fan
yeah
Jared Leto you've got our faces on a wall somewhere go bloody take a long walk Stop being a sex pest. I know that you're listening to this because you're a big fan. Yeah.
You've got our faces on a wall somewhere. Go bloody take a long walk off a short pier, mate.
Take a long hard look at yourself.
Realize what you want.
There are probably people that are happy to accommodate your sexual kinks.
Yeah.
But maybe just don't.
A film set.
A film set.
Or the remains of a film set once filming is finished.
It's not appropriate for you to get out your sexual desires.
Exactly.
So just, you know-
I'm so sick of suicide.
Consenting adults, Jared.
Consenting adults.
This shit looks like he actually, like, might cry.
Because I'm thinking about every single fucking news article that's come out about it.
We're like, oh, fuck.
Suicide's always going to be fucked.
We've got, like, psychologists on set. Psych psychiatrists on set because all the characters are just really all the actors are scared and it's so real and dark and gritty
and then fucking jared leader sending fucking dead animals to fucking trailers and everyone's
like what the fuck this is fucked no we're reshooting now to put quips in it
because we fucking put Bohemian Rhapsody
in a fucking trailer and everyone's like oh sick
fuck you
god I hate this movie so much it hasn't even come out yet
I'm so angry
it's just Deadpool again
but worse
Deadpool's not good
I'm so tired
I'm thinking I got to work after this
and put up with more
fucking bullshit
where everyone's like,
oh, comic books.
I'm like,
don't talk to me about it.
Do you want to lie down?
I want to go eat lunch
and then I want to go
to Valium.
Do you want like a
glass of warm milk
and a hug?
I would.
Do you want to cuddle?
The worst thing is
every Thursday
we change movie posters
because new movies come out.
And that includes the Coming Soon posters.
We have Suicide Squad posters at my work, and they haven't been put up yet.
I have a feeling I'm going to walk into work today, and they're going to be right in my face.
Tear them down.
If anyone asks you about it, just plug the plug card.
I'm like, oh, you want my opinion?
You want my opinion?
Here it is.
And then just scream at them.
No words. Just scream. I've got Suicide Squad business cards in it is. And then just scream at them. No words, just screaming.
I've got business cards in my wallet.
I might just staple one to their head.
That's a good idea.
There you go.
I gave you two.
Anyway, Civil War was good.
Civil War?
Yeah, it made up for a lot of the problems that the Marvel films have,
like as films.
Because all the Marvel films are enjoyable.
Like even Thor.
I like the Thor movies. No, because all the Marvel films are enjoyable. Like, even Thor. Like, I like the Thor movies.
Like, they're...
No, no, no.
Ant-Man.
Age of Ultron.
Ant-Man had, like, an enjoyable last third.
Age of...
Iron Man 2.
Iron Man 2 is the worst of them.
I'd go...
No!
Age of Ultron.
Then Iron Man 2.
Then Ant-Man.
Yeah.
But, like...
But apart from those, they're all fine.
Like, even Ant-Man is fine. Like, it... But apart from those, they're all fine. Like, even Ant-Man is fine.
Like, it's not bad.
It's just, like, nothing.
If Ant-Man had come in any other point that wasn't directly after Avengers 2, which was,
like, a bad time.
Meant to be a down.
This is where I think...
Like, this is how you do a downer ending.
Yeah.
Like, this should have been...
Again, this should have been what Age of Ultron, in terms of, like, tonal shift, how it was
sort of, like, there is a clear divide. Yeah. That's what Age of Ultron should have been. age of ultron in terms of like tonal shift how it was sort of like there is a clear divide yeah that's what age of ultron should have been was there like see i would have liked
the divides have happened in age of ultron and then you know him going like a cat america
underground age of ultron and this film being really much about like this the um what was it
called in this the sokovia accords yeah yeah those already being in
play and then hunting um cat america like that would have been a nicer sort of for me anyway
but i did i did enjoy what we've got because i think it's really like the bad taste left in my
mouth out out of you know after age of ultron ant--Man, and BVS.
Yeah.
This was quite refreshing.
And this was kind of like the best superhero film
that we're probably going to get in a while.
Yeah.
Captain America fight scenes are really good.
And yeah, the Russo brothers.
Russo or Russo?
Russo.
Jim Rash's cameo at the start.
Yeah.
What are you doing in there, Jim Rash?
He's also just playing the Dean.
Like, as in, like, he's the head of the college as well.
He's just the Dean.
But yeah, Abed is just Abed in Winter Soldier.
The Russo brothers literally...
I think they might be directing Infinity War.
One of them.
Which makes me feel a lot better about it.
Because they're the only directors that have actually put their own...
All the other Marvel films could be directed by... Anybody homeless bloke if they want to um where oh actually you know what iron man 3
also has like a unique thing but yeah the russo brothers are you can tell like their fight
sequences are really stylized but really good like captain america fights with his shield
really really well like if you look at... Can you compare Winter Soldier in this
to how he originally fought in, like,
the first Captain America movie?
Or even the first Avengers.
It's mostly him just being, like, shield, punch.
Where this is, like, throwing shit,
flips and kicks.
And I like that Falcon used his wing as a shield.
Yeah.
That was cool.
The CGI on Falcon was real janky, though.
There were some moments the CGI was very janky though there were some moments the cgi
was very janky the first uh the first where they're fighting the first fight is just kind of
like weirdly filmed and looks kind of rubbish like there's one point where they kick in a door and
that door looks real strange there's a bit where falcon goes from flying to walking and it's like
there's this like three or four frames that you can just tell are like this mess. I just remember being like, ooh, that's a gross transition.
What about young Robert Downey Jr. though?
Oh, fuck.
I really forgot about that.
No, that was good because as a man who loves the John Hughes film
Weird Science, which stars a young Robert Downey Jr.,
it's pretty spot on.
Do you know what?
They might have used Weird Science, Robert Downey Jr.
I was going to say, because these actors have had such a long history
in film, they can
probably grab references from
old films and start using that.
Like in Iron Man with that bloke.
Old bloke, Michael Douglas.
One thing I thought was a bit out of place,
whoever was meant to be
the Miriam Sharp character,
but the black lady with the
sun who was like, he's dead. Oh yeah, that was stupid the black lady with the son who was like he's oh yeah
that was stupid like why i like that she was like i'm exactly where i need to be and then stark's
like shit assassin fuck yeah that was good yeah but why was she back there was she just waiting
for him to be there how did she know he was gonna be there well he was doing a speech so yeah but
just i just thought it was stupid where she's like hey one person died when you saved thousands
and tony stark's like fuck man you're person died when you saved thousands. And Tony Stark's like, fuck, man, you're right.
Do you know what that reminded me so much of?
What's that?
Superman Grounded.
My favorite comic book, Superman Grounded.
Yeah, same.
I was like, here's one person that you've damaged.
And he's like, I guess I've disappointed everyone.
Yeah.
That's a stupid way to think.
No, but that's the whole thing because it makes it personal where at that point,
what the movie's trying to convey and what Superman Grounded
is trying to convey and both of them miss the mark a little bit.
Watchmen does it better.
Also Watchmen.
That's what, honestly what they should have done with that Miriam Sharp,
I don't know if that was the character's name in that,
but that's who she was sort of meant to be.
If she had given a picture of someone who had died in the Wander attack.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
But we've already got that with the Wakandas.
We'd get that in the very next scene.
It's not quite as personal.
And that way it would have been a bit more of a jab
at Wanda, a bit more of a jab at everyone to be like
Tony wasn't involved in that. Yeah, I know.
But it was like your team.
I think for him it needed to be
him. Yeah, because he's retired
at that point. He's like, I'm not Iron Man anymore.
It just was a bit odd. No, because it's retired at that point. He's like, I'm not Iron Man anymore. And then the part... It just was a bit odd.
No, because it's like the past.
You can't escape the past kind of thing.
Just pick a better moment.
No, that's way better.
I reckon...
No, because it makes it personal
because the whole thing with Iron Man,
he's like, oh, I can give a shit.
I went to space once and I was sad about it.
But that's super stupid
because Iron Man's whole fucking deal
is that back when he was just a lad,
his weapons killed people.
So you'd think Iron Man would be the most sympathetic
towards the collateral damage.
Yeah, exactly.
It would have been nicer if they picked a moment
from Tony Stark's history,
like in Iron Man 1, 2, or 3,
as opposed to the Sokovia incident,
because the Sokovia incident is a...
It's a tremendous...
It was just...
I don't know.
It was so big.
It was like if we didn't stop them,
more people would have died.
The world would have died.
And also...
Yeah, do you know also why they picked Sokovia?
Why did that happen?
Okay, Age of Ultron.
It was...
Shut up.
Because we've got to remember that all Avengers 2 happened because of Tony Stark.
The entire film is him.
That's the worst thing he's done.
There were a whole bunch of points where it's like,
oh, Cap, like... Doing a lot of Sokovia stuff about him kind of being like, the entire film is him that's the worst thing he's done fine fine
doing a lot of Sokovia stuff
about him kind of being like oh you did this
but it's like it's not Cap's fault
specifically that that happened
don't pick an iron man
and did the world know that Ultron was Stark's fault
yes because they had
20 suits of armor
remember all his soldiers didn't look like
Ultron was the only one with a weird head
I know I'm just saying how much does the general public know about Ultron
they know
they definitely know
just putting it out there
there's an answer
shut the fuck up
are we assuming that Iron Man is that big an idiot
that he's like holy shit I hurt actual people
when I dropped a country
I think he would have known that
yeah but that's the thing I, I think he would have known that. Like, surely he knew.
Yeah, but that's the thing.
Like, okay.
And I don't know.
I just thought maybe it would have been like...
I just thought it was kind of clumsy.
Yeah.
It could have been handled a bit better.
It could have been handled like any of the moments in Iron Man 3, 2 or 1.
You kind of cherry pick something that's there that just like another minor incident.
No, well, it had to be an Avengers because...
Or in Avengers, a minor incident or something like that it had to be an Avengers because... Or in Avengers a minor incident
or something like that. I don't
know. I just... The Sokovia stuff was
to me it was clumsily handled.
It could have been a bit better. Because it makes it personal.
That's the thing. But why, how
what kind of human being
doesn't already see it as personal?
Because Tony Stark would have known
that they were some civilian casualties.
There's like a point earlier where they're like here is the fallout from something
And there are people being like
Holding their kids
And it's like does Tony Stark need someone to come up and be like
Hi, hey Tony Stark how you doing
So you kill people in that
And Tony Stark would be like shee
Tony Stark wasn't at the scene you're talking about
Yes he was
He was sitting there with his face like this
That was after
Before that
In the General Ross scene
No that's after
Because that's where there's all of them
This speech is directly
It's right before it
This is the introduction to Tony Stark
We don't see him
The first time we see him is young
Stark is here and also General Ross
That's afterwards
But what I was Dead He only knows about the Accords we see him is young. Stark is here and also General Ross. That's afterwards. Because he's like, oh.
But what I was... Dead.
Yeah, because the first scene we get... He already knows about the Accords.
Nah, you're right. The first scene
we get of fucking Robert Downey... But how?
Shut up for a second. First scene we get with Robert Downey Jr.
is him as the weird young one.
We're on. We're agreeing.
You're just agreeing with us now. He's still got an in you
that you need to get it out.
No, but I mean like even in the Battle of New York,
was Tony blind?
Did he not see people die because of him?
Even something like, you know, when he puts up the photo of the kid
and he's like, this person was that.
Even another thing, it was another photo of someone else,
another photo of someone else, another photo of someone else.
Yeah, for him to do his research and be like, there is so...
Yeah.
Like, that would have been a bit nicer
than to focus on this one kid who didn't doesn't get brought up again so you know what you know
what you see what i mean so it's like yes this one woman has brought to my attention like put
some names to faces to the numbers and that sucks so i've gone because tony stark as we've shown in
iron man 2 and 3 now i'm in 3 that's very obsessive and he suffers from PTSD and anxiety.
So then someone being like,
this is the name of one kid.
I think it wouldn't be out of character
for that Tony Stark
to be like,
I'm going to be obsessive enough
or at least research enough
to be like,
yep, I'm one of these kids.
All these people died
and then list them.
Iron Man 3's thing isn't that third.
That's the thing
he's
and that's what people say
like it's mentioned
in Avengers
and stuff like that
he only cares about himself
and with the PTSD
it isn't
it isn't about
civilian casualties
it's solely about
I know that
he got stuck
in space
you're missing my point
yeah
it's not about
it's about behaviour
it's not about
the thought process
yeah
so to me even just a couple of him listing off a couple names
and then even have a whole sheet, like these are all the names.
Otherwise it's just super weird and like kind of just like nuts.
I understand.
I'm fine with this Miriam Sharp being like, this is my kid,
but I would have wanted a bit more from Tony Stark because of course,
like he should know that there's collateral.
If he doesn't know that that's happening.
Then he's a King Doofus
I think that's a thing he is
he is King Doofus
where's that crown?
to fix this all you need is
I don't think you can change that scene
oh no that's fine
you just want a scene in between that scene
let me see if you like this better
so there's that scene and before you get him
with Thunderbolt Ross have him just
looking at the names,
like, have him standing in the
Stark shit with all the computer screens around him,
just throwing up photos of
Sokovia. Yeah, that'd be nice.
Okay, sweet, I fixed it.
I like that now too, we're fine. You want him to be
obsessing over it and like... I just want it to be
less like one child died
and Tony Stark to be like, whoa.
We need to stop everything
Man we gotta
Police ourselves
Because like
How do you not realise
After Avengers 1
How do you not look at
A destroyed New York
And be like
Man
We're doing pretty good
Like
Yeah
Rather than even that scene
Just him being like
This one kid
Then flashing up
Another kid
And then just having
A whole sheet of paper
And like
There's some names
Remember them
Like even that
Would have been like Okay cool But i think oh fuck you're so tired
so tired and so angry it's a bad combination because you're making me defend a movie
sleepy and grumpy you're making me defend a movie that like it's good it's good but
i'm saying it's a good film
I'm just saying they could have gone that little bit
extra to kind of make those little clunky
moments be a little bit more impactful
that's all
saying it was an entertaining film
but also like
largely worthless
I
am happy to go on record and say this is the best
Marvel film we're going to get in this day and age.
Spider-Man is probably going to be pretty good, but it's going to be so much better than Infinity War.
It's going to be significantly better than Thor Ragnarok.
It's going to be way better than Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Why was one of the trigger words...
Homecoming?
Yeah, Homecoming. One of the trigger words is Homecoming? Yeah, homecoming.
One of the trigger words is homecoming.
I'm really, really excited for the...
Spider-Man's called Spider-Man Homecoming.
I'm really excited for the Incredible Hulk freight train.
It would be really great if it was just like, yeah,
like 1 or 19, then it was just like Ragnarok Homecoming.
What are you doing?
Or like naming all the ones in the past.
Yeah, yeah.
Winter Soldier.
Ultra. Imagine if we got a Hulk freight train. Or like naming all the ones in the past Yeah yeah Winter Soldier Ultra
Imagine if we got a Hulk freight train
Fuck that would be good
Sorry it was freight car
Yeah the Incredible Hulk
Freight car
Hulk 2 freight car
