Marvel's What If...? S3E4 - Fandom Hybrid Podcast #334

1
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:27,980
What's up hybrids?
Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:27,980 --> 00:00:31,500
of the Phantom Hybrid Podcast.
This is Hanukkah and I am here

3
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,340
with Anthony and Mike and we are
discussing Season 3, episode 4

4
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:41,880
of Marvel's What If series and
what is probably Mike's favorite

5
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:47,000
episode of the series because
it's starring who else but

6
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Howard the Ducks.
I know you have been chomping at

7
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,240
the bit to discuss this one,
haven't you?

8
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,320
Since I've seen it, but before I
go into it, I didn't totally

9
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,120
love this episode.
What?

10
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,640
Stop this fucking with you.
Oh, OK.

11
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,040
I was about to say, who are you?
And what have you done?

12
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,840
With Michael Collins.
No, I love that there was there

13
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,640
were a couple of things that
that were kind of weird about

14
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,760
this episode for me, like the
whole Casilla Casillas and and

15
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,480
Fury like fighting and shooting
again, Fury shooting and not

16
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,960
hitting anybody in the like that
that I was just like Nah.

17
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,520
Weirder than Howard the Duck
being married to Darcy?

18
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,400
That, strangely, is not weird.
I mean, it's like I don't the

19
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,640
way I approach what if is I just
pretty much let them tell me

20
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,560
what the story is about and I
basically go with it.

21
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,400
What if is Marvel's version of
Fast and Furious?

22
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,440
It's just like you won't go into
Fast and Furious looking for

23
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,880
shit that makes sense because
there's nothing that makes sense

24
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,400
in Fast and Furious.
OK, it's.

25
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,480
Like what if I'll give you that.
They're just scenarios.

26
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,520
So I'm like, though this is a
scenario.

27
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,120
OK, cool.
Somehow Darcy had today.

28
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,560
Cool.
Let's go from there.

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,520
I, I don't care.
I love this, the little baby

30
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,120
kidding me that grew up in the
late 70s that loved kiss loved

31
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,480
loved them singing I Was Made
for Loving You throughout this

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,360
episode.
I wonder how much they had to

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,600
pay to use that song.
That came off that.

34
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,920
They came off that.
Yeah.

35
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,040
But I've, I mean, I loved
everything about.

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,520
I just, it was, it was
incredible to me.

37
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,120
And I I mean, I mean, down to
the Raiders of the Lost Ark call

38
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,520
back in the end was dope.
I wasn't I was not expecting

39
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,240
that, but I was like, cool.
But yes, I love this episode.

40
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:50,120
So go ahead, Anthony.
Well, I'm not going to say I

41
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:57,000
hated it.
It definitely was not great.

42
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,480
You're a hard man to please.
Anthony, I'm, I'm trying, Mike,

43
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,080
I really ain't.
And I appreciate the effort, I

44
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,120
really do.
I appreciate the.

45
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,000
Effort.
I I appreciate that you say that

46
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,440
is very much one of those things
where what if is you just go

47
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,320
with it no matter how ridiculous
the circumstances are.

48
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,720
But I would kind of argue that
the reason why I would, if it

49
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,440
kind of works, is it is
plausible.

50
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,560
You know, there is something
that could be based on certain

51
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,760
decisions or choices.
Yeah, it can stretch a little

52
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,240
bit.
You know, like Infinity Ultron

53
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,760
trying to wipe.
Out all life.

54
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:54,720
You know strange, You know
whether we, whether we call him

55
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,280
sinister strange.
Yeah.

56
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,560
Or, you know, yeah.
But however, I don't know, I I

57
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,960
didn't, it didn't bother me that
it was Darcy and Howard being

58
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,440
married.
It didn't bother me.

59
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:15,320
They had a kid.
But once again, we have an

60
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,480
episode where they decide to
throw in the kitchen sink, like,

61
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,320
oh, you remember all those
obscure characters that people

62
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,120
just kind of halfway remember?
Let's throw them in the episode.

63
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,720
You know, this is put them in
here.

64
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,560
You know, Cassilius Frost, Loki,
this this is dirham all in here

65
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,680
just just for the.
Center K Silly is an obscure

66
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,640
character considering he was
like the main villain of a whole

67
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:45,960
Doctor Strange movie.
Doctor Strange movie that that a

68
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,240
lot of people didn't see OK, OK
I.

69
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,160
Mean just like they didn't bring
back him or Dorma movies like

70
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,200
they brought back Mordo, but
they didn't bring back either

71
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,640
one of them.
So it's like, I mean, they kind

72
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,240
of you and plus they really
Causilius was AI didn't like

73
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Causilius in the 1st Doctor
Strange movie.

74
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,000
He was kind of a forgettable
character for me.

75
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,960
It's just like I didn't really
miss him in much Multiverse and

76
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,520
madness.
I was just like, you know, he

77
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,880
didn't have to show up.
It's just I didn't I didn't like

78
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,680
that performance.
So that's what best place, yeah

79
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,320
should have been, but.
But my, my main thing is again,

80
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:31,760
we we've gotten away from the
spirit of what if, like it

81
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,560
wasn't it wasn't a particular
decision that changed the course

82
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,560
of events.
Really.

83
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,440
It's just the story.
Like this is just this just is a

84
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,360
stand alone or could be a stand
alone episode of just Oh,

85
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,280
wouldn't it be cool if Darcy and
Hal got married and had the baby

86
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:52,400
and the baby was born during the
convergence and the baby is

87
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,520
important because it's pop.
OK, but it doesn't to me, it

88
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,640
doesn't go with the spirit of
what if.

89
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,840
And, and I guess I'm starting to
become I'm starting to become

90
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:09,240
less enamoured with the show
because it seems over the last

91
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,320
couple seasons, this is getting
further and further away from

92
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,160
the what if premise.
Like I would prefer to just have

93
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,200
what if standalone episodes and
not episode says it's going to

94
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,960
tie into some overarching thing
or whatever 'cause it's

95
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,160
obviously what they're, they're
going towards.

96
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,120
So I don't know.
It was I, it was I, you know, it

97
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,240
was just, I, I mean, I'm, I'm,
it wasn't as referential as a

98
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,880
previous episode, but it did
have these characters that

99
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,520
you're just like, oh, and Fury,
this was, you're right.

100
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,160
This was so uncharacteristically
not right.

101
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,520
I have a.
Theory about that.

102
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,880
I have a theory about that.
Why?

103
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,960
It wasn't really fury that it
was probably one of the scrolls

104
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,280
or whatever.
OK, Yeah.

105
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,720
That was some percent scroll,
yeah.

106
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,520
That, that, that, yeah, I mean.
Obviously that that was this.

107
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,920
Is just this is just like in the
Marvels when he was like, come

108
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,280
on, black girl magic.
I'm like.

109
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,920
OK.
Even though fury out was funny

110
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,040
as shit to me, like every time
you said it I busted.

111
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,960
I busted my ass out laughing.
I was so confused when he said

112
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,360
it 'cause I was like since when
did Fury start doing that?

113
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Like, it's so weird, but so I'm
going to go opposite of Anthony

114
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,560
because I won't say that I like
love this episode because of

115
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,520
necessarily the story, but I
just thought it was one of the

116
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,080
funnier episodes.
And coming off of the last two

117
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,520
episodes, which were, you know,
kind of mixed for me, I laughed

118
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,720
a lot during this one.
And I think that's why I liked

119
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,760
it.
And then not to mention, you

120
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,400
know, like I said, one of the
things I love about what if is

121
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,120
that you take these characters
that generally don't have

122
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,920
anything to do with each other
in the MCU and you kind of put

123
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,600
them together.
And in this one, it was so funny

124
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,400
because you have so the premise,
the, the premise of the show is

125
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,440
this whole thing like you say,
Anthony, about Howard the duck

126
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,520
and Darcy getting married and
they have this baby that's,

127
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,480
that's an egg that they're
waiting to hatch.

128
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,040
And because this, this egg was,
I don't even know how to

129
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,720
describe it.
She didn't lay the egg.

130
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,640
She claims she gave birth to it
after she was in labor.

131
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,040
So while she was in labor during
the convergence, apparently

132
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,080
they're supposed to be this
great cosmic being that was, you

133
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,840
know, conceived at this time,
which is supposedly Darcy and

134
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,080
Howard's egg.
And so you have everybody in

135
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,120
this universe literally trying
to come and get this egg.

136
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,520
So you see the Grandmaster, you
see Yondu and the Ravagers, you

137
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,960
see SHIELD.
As far as Nick Fury and Agent

138
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,280
Coulson.
You have Caseilius, you have

139
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,320
Laufe, you have Zeus of all
people.

140
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,360
You have the Dark Elves, you
have Ebony Ma, you have Thanos,

141
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,120
and you have all of these
different villains or characters

142
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,920
from all these different Marvel
properties coming together, but

143
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,000
separately trying to get this
egg.

144
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,760
And I just thought it was so
funny because you get to see

145
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,640
like them not only fighting to
get the egg, you're they're

146
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,480
fighting each other.
There's a little bit of comic

147
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,000
banter going on.
I just thought it was a funny

148
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
episode.
And then you have Howard and

149
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,960
Darcy together, which, OK, I
make the joke about them being

150
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,240
together, but it's so funny
because I feel like they are a

151
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,880
perfect pairing, like they play
off each other very well.

152
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,520
And so I just, I really liked it
because I thought it was funny.

153
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,960
It was very light, even though
people were trying to kidnap or

154
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,840
either eat their egg.
What the fuck, Grandmaster?

155
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,080
But even though that was the
case, it was just very light

156
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,440
hearted and I didn't really need
it to mean something bigger

157
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,280
because I think if you look at
the previous three episodes for

158
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,560
this particular season, I don't
really see where the characters

159
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:13,320
are going to converge.
And it'd be a bigger story, kind

160
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,960
of like the last two seasons
with Captain Carter and how this

161
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,680
became kind of her story.
So it was, I mean, it was fun to

162
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:24,240
me.
I wasn't looking for anything

163
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,920
kind of, I think because of the
last couple of episodes, I'm

164
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,200
just kind of like not expecting
anything.

165
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,480
I'm not expecting some grand
story.

166
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,680
I'm not expecting any big
reveals.

167
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:37,960
I was just like, I, I went into
this knowing it was going to be

168
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,840
ridiculous because it's Howard
the Duck.

169
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,920
And I was just like, OK, let me
see what they're going to do.

170
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,440
And I actually enjoyed it was it
was a lot of fun.

171
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:52,480
So Anthony's look like no.
No, absolutely not it.

172
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:58,800
I.
I didn't laugh, not one time.

173
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,440
Except maybe.
Except maybe when I realized

174
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840
they were going to eat the egg
and I chuckled.

175
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,640
You are so dark.
The best thing about this

176
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,760
episode was the freaking kiss
song.

177
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,760
I mean that that that was it.
Wow, you are a tough cookie to

178
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,160
crack.
Yeah, that's a great song.

179
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,920
Now the song the.
Song that's that's one of their

180
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,160
best songs that's.
That's a great song.

181
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,720
It is.
It's a great song.

182
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,080
You can't read the episode.
Wow.

183
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,400
You did, Anthony.
This is with me.

184
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,240
The holiday.
Scene it is with you we're

185
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,880
supposed to be.
Bringing in here.

186
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360
Whatever I I'm, I'm sorry, I'm
expecting.

187
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,880
I mean, I'm not expecting
greatness anymore, but I do have

188
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,240
a certain level level of
expectation when I watch

189
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,360
something and this did not meet
even the bare minimum

190
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,400
expectation.
Wow.

191
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,120
Well, the last episode was by
far superior to this episode.

192
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,840
Wow.
The last episode was clearly

193
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,600
funnier than this.
The last episode had me dying.

194
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,840
The one liners everything.
This thing Zeus Russell Crowe is

195
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,320
freaking ridiculous.
It's absolutely stupid the whole

196
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,680
episode.
But that's not Russell Crowe,

197
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,720
so.
I mean, I'm just saying that

198
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,480
version of Zeus, Yeah, he was
obviously trying to channel that

199
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,280
version of Zeus, and it is this
is this.

200
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,320
That was like, blah.
Oh God, I was.

201
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Kind.
Of surprised that they threw him

202
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,480
in there because.
Why?

203
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,640
Why are you not surprised?
I'm not surprised.

204
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,920
I'm just saying because if if
you want to say if you want to

205
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,320
talk about obscure characters.
And even though I know Zeus is

206
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,040
not an obscure character in
anything by far, but the fact

207
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,920
that we just got introduced to
that character in Thor, Love and

208
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,800
Thunder, and it's kind of like,
only briefly.

209
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,400
And then they bring him in here,
which, OK, yeah.

210
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,600
What if kind of does that?
But it was just, I guess,

211
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,080
strange in that sense because,
like, why would he need the

212
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,760
baby?
He's Zeus.

213
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,040
But yeah.
But I mean, it's that version of

214
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,040
Zeus.
It's like, 'cause there's so

215
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,840
many versions that have come out
that portray him wild wildly

216
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,480
differently.
I mean, we just had Jeff

217
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,560
Goldblum as Zeus and Chaos, so
it's like they're.

218
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,480
This version, you can't, you
can't do that, Mike.

219
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,240
It's a completely different
property.

220
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,040
I know, yeah.
He's just talking about.

221
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,680
Zeus in general let.
Me finish, Let me finish cheese.

222
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,800
Anthony said we are not about to
say anything to convince him to

223
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,280
like this episode.
I'm.

224
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,320
Look, I'm just saying look, this
this version of Zeus I can

225
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,800
believe would want something
that could help him continue his

226
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,040
reign as far as being the king.
I can see I can see him going

227
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,200
after that also real quick.
I know this doesn't this episode

228
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,520
kind of to me this I don't know
about y'all, but I mean,

229
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,080
honestly, this episode with the
baby, I'm I just for some

230
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,600
reason, I think that there's
something else with her.

231
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,080
I mean, she's really important,
obviously, or the everybody

232
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,560
wouldn't be going through all
this trouble to get her.

233
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,920
So there has to be some kind of
time thread.

234
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,920
And as we've seen in what if
they take multiple episodes

235
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,520
sometimes and tie different
things together and put

236
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,480
different things to get to the
point of the final episode or

237
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,280
the penultimate episode to get
there.

238
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,360
So I would just hold off, hold
off judgement until then, but

239
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,800
but I don't know why I'm talking
to you because you're not you're

240
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,960
not even listening to me.
I'm.

241
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,920
Listening to every word you're
saying.

242
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,600
Every word.
Alright, but I every word.

243
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,360
I mean you.
I can't believe you.

244
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,200
You didn't.
You didn't find Loki selling

245
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,440
timeshares in selling ice giant
timeshares funny like that

246
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,600
wasn't funny to you?
No, it wasn't.

247
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680
You're my brother from another
mother's old lady, sister from

248
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,840
another mist.
No, he wasn't funny.

249
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,600
Really funny.
No, no, nothing.

250
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Nothing about this episode was.
Wow, Anthony is the Ebenezer

251
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,480
Scrooge from the What If scene.
You had to.

252
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,600
At least, at least I'm I'm
sitting the first fury out.

253
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,720
You had to have laughed the
first fury out.

254
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,000
I almost cried at the death of
one of my favorite beloved

255
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,720
characters.
I'm like.

256
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,480
See, you know what?
No, whatever it.

257
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,920
Can't be any worse than Secret
Invasion.

258
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,600
No, nothing would ever be as bad
as that, OK?

259
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,960
No, I would.
I would never disparage to a bad

260
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:36,800
degree.
OK.

261
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,360
As long as long as we're
straight on that.

262
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,840
We're talking about this
particular episode.

263
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,600
This specific episode is this.
I don't know.

264
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,240
I'm watching it and I'm like,
this is stupid.

265
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,800
And it just kept getting Dumber
and Dumber and Dumber and, you

266
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,720
know, the bright spots, the
song, Darcy and Howard.

267
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,320
That's it.
I could've done without

268
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,000
everything else.
That adorable baby, that baby,

269
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,160
that baby wasn't keep.
I mean.

270
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,480
You had.
You had.

271
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,440
Yeah, but we didn't even see the
babies reveal until the end of

272
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,520
the episode.
So, I mean, yeah, she she's cute

273
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,360
and all, but it was.
It was so strange.

274
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,000
Yeah, the whole egg thing, that
was kind of weird because when

275
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,280
Darcy had her, she's like, Oh
yeah, she looks like me and I'm

276
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,560
like, it's an egg.
How does she look like those

277
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,960
little things?
Mothers know, you know, you know

278
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440
this as you know this too.
Mothers know exactly everything

279
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,320
about their children.
So, you know, she knew that it

280
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,440
looked just like her.
I wish those of you who are just

281
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,880
listening, I wish you could see
the little Anthony and I are

282
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,680
giving mic right now.
Mothers.

283
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,240
Know mothers know these things.
As far as I've been reading, I

284
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,600
don't know.
Yeah, no, that, that was kind of

285
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,840
strange.
I do enjoy the fact that they

286
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,960
are getting a lot of the the
original actors who portrayed

287
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,880
these characters in live action
to come back and do the voice

288
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,520
overs.
I do love that part because even

289
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,200
even for the small parts, just
to hear the familiarity, like

290
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,040
Michael Rooker being Yondu and
only being on screen for like

291
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,599
maybe 2 minutes tops, I was just
like, hey, it's Rooker.

292
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,599
I like that, you know, and I
think the person, there's an

293
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,359
actor who actually did the voice
dubbing for the grandmaster in

294
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800
this episode, and it was not
Jeff Goldblum.

295
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,160
He sounds so much like him, and
I thought he did a really,

296
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,520
really good job.
They do have a lot of talent

297
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,160
coming in to do the voice work
for these these particular

298
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,320
episodes, so I do appreciate
that.

299
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,400
Yeah, I could appreciate that.
And they did some great work.

300
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,680
They really did, you know.
And it's like, that's about all

301
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,840
I got.
Wow.

302
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,480
I don't even know.
We should have a longer episode

303
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,240
because Anthony just did not
like this episode.

304
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,040
It makes me sad.
I said that I can't say, I can't

305
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:08,640
say I hated it is this is blah,
this is but I, I was really

306
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,280
struggling to watch it to to
make it through the episode.

307
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:19,520
OK, so, so of the four episodes
we've seen so far, where does

308
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,440
this rank for you?
I I don't even need to ask Mike.

309
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,720
I already know you'd.
Be surprised if you asking.

310
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:31,360
Me, yeah, Of the four episodes,
this is definitely last place.

311
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,360
Really.
Even even under the the Agatha

312
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:37,000
episode.
Yeah.

313
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:38,600
Oh wow.
Agatha.

314
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:44,040
Agatha would be 3, the mash up
would be two, and last episode

315
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,000
would be one.
Oh, OK, to Seth.

316
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,600
Green and Kat Dennings The views
reviews presented by Anthony are

317
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,080
not the views of Phantom Hybrid
dot.

318
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,520
Com My issue was not with Darcy
and Howard.

319
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,360
It really was, yeah.
He did say that.

320
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:01,520
He said that they they kind of
carried the episode, you know,

321
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,400
because of the the the chemistry
with those two characters.

322
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,160
Like those two characters are,
are funny.

323
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,880
And it's like, I kind of sort of
want to see this in live action

324
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,160
as weird as it is, but it just,
I don't know, something about

325
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,160
those two characters work.
So.

326
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,160
I love, I love Darth.
I think, I think they're just, I

327
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,320
can't wait to see how their,
their kid, their kid turns out.

328
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,600
Because the kids going to be
sarcastic, mouthy and smart just

329
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,360
like they are.
And it's going to be fucking

330
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:33,720
awesome.
Yeah, they'll be.

331
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,120
It's going to be a younger
combination of them.

332
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:38,240
It's going to be great and
brilliant and hilarious, Sir.

333
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,320
And she has powers, so that's
going to be interesting because

334
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,040
you know, you know what you
didn't?

335
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,200
You didn't get you didn't get
hyped over over the baby doing

336
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,320
the Indiana Jones rated Raiders
of the Lost Ark fatality on

337
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,840
everybody around them.
Yeah, except for the people that

338
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,880
matter.
They conveniently were able to

339
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,480
dodge.
So, so it's still the Indiana

340
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,200
Jones and what's her name?
What's your point?

341
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,880
That's that's kind of what
happens.

342
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,400
What I mean, I think what she
did was she she targeted the

343
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,160
people that were trying to
either kill her, eat her or

344
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,000
destroy her.
And the ones who she spared,

345
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,280
like Nick Fury and Coulson
weren't trying to harm her.

346
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,400
They were trying to protect her.
And they didn't think that a

347
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,640
regular human person and a like
they said, a outlaw duck would

348
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,120
be able to protect them.
So it's not like they were

349
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:34,360
trying to harm her.
So they would have naturally

350
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,480
been spared.
Of course, yeah.

351
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,360
And a.
Gambling addict ducks.

352
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,120
That's what he Zeus left.
Loki and Laffy were, you know,

353
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,320
Loki wasn't trying to harm her.
Loki was actually trying to help

354
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,440
her parents.
Laffy was just like, well.

355
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,760
Every everyone was trying to
kidnap her except the

356
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,440
Grandmaster.
He was the only one trying to

357
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,600
eat her, but that's neither here
nor there.

358
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,880
Yeah, he.
He's a grandmaster who could

359
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,160
explain anything that he does.
That is.

360
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,280
True.
Like he's weird.

361
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,040
That.
Is true when?

362
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,520
When Celius just wanted what?
You what's?

363
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,840
The Rosemary Band Rosemary.
That was actually, I think I did

364
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,160
chuckle at that.
I did chuckle at that because

365
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,360
that was funny.
That was funny.

366
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,920
OK, we found one thing.
OK.

367
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,680
But yeah, I mean, I, I think if
if this is a, a a being with

368
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,480
cosmic powers, and I don't know
why Aladdin just came into my

369
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,640
head because I was about to say
itty bitty living space.

370
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:46,000
I mean, she's trapped inside of
Edward, but if she's a being

371
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,840
with cosmic powers, she should
be able to detect all the people

372
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,320
who are trying to harm her and
single them out.

373
00:21:52,440 --> 00:22:00,120
So that is actually not as
implausible as it sounds, you

374
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,640
know, And then especially when
you think about the The Watchers

375
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,640
narration in the beginning and
he said something about this

376
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,080
being a, you know, a cosmic
being that will have, what did

377
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,080
he say will be very important to
the universe or has a big, I, I

378
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,080
can't remember what the wording
was, but obviously she's going

379
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,040
to be important for something.
And kind of like you said, Mike,

380
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:28,440
we may see something with her
later on there.

381
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,680
This is still only episode 4.
So we still have 4 episodes

382
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,840
before the end of the series, so
she may show up a little bit

383
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,160
later and be important because
like you.

384
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,360
Yeah, they did a whole episode
on her.

385
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:41,480
It's like there has to be
something.

386
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,480
It's like a whole episode on a
baby.

387
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,080
On trying to protect her.
So yeah.

388
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,680
But yeah, I just, I don't know
what else to say since, I mean,

389
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,920
Anthony doesn't like it.
We like it.

390
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,800
I thought it, like I said, I
thought it was funny.

391
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,840
I thought it was it was kind of
light and it was, you know, it

392
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,480
was very fun.
But again, I think this is one

393
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,760
of those episodes too where, you
know, we talk about this with

394
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,200
the other what if series.
They always throw an episode in

395
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,040
the middle that that kind of
doesn't make a lot of sense and

396
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,760
it seems a little more light
hearted.

397
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,480
And then the episodes we get
after that are a little bit

398
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,200
darker.
So maybe that's what is and what

399
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,680
was what it was supposed to be
kind of like that palate

400
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,520
cleanser before they get our
dark with us.

401
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,440
I mean, we are coming to the end
of the series as a whole, not

402
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,600
just the season.
So there's probably going to be

403
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:40,440
death in there.
See I thought last so was was

404
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,920
light and and not as dark.
This one they're literally

405
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,320
trying to eat.
He's literally going to serve

406
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,360
the egg as the baby has dinner
and another character is going

407
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,120
to possess her with a demon from
another dimension.

408
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,560
Yeah, my.
Definition of light is a little

409
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,200
bit.
Off and look.

410
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,960
This is this is actually all.
These people trying to kidnap,

411
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,520
not even a newborn, I mean
literally a newborn.

412
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,320
They're all trying to kidnap his
newborn.

413
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,440
It's not light hearted to me.
Look, this is this is basically

414
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,520
a continuation of the party Thor
episode because they shouldn't

415
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,800
be because they got married in a
party Thor episode.

416
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:25,960
They met in the party Thor
episode.

417
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,960
This is basically a spinoff of
that.

418
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,560
So yes, it is.
It is a light hearted palate

419
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,880
cleanser until we get into delve
into the deepness that's

420
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,800
probably getting ready to come
and probably send us into a

421
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,400
spiraling depression.
So just enjoy it for what it is

422
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,840
and laugh at the parts that I
know you laughed at and just,

423
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,600
you know, just just appreciate
it.

424
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,240
I mean they did a who?
They did the who's on 1st joke

425
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,200
for nowhere that that that was
they.

426
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,240
Did The Who?
They did the what joke?

427
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,040
The no doing, he said.
Oh, they're, oh, I don't know

428
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,520
where they're going.
They're going to nowhere.

429
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,240
Nowhere.
Nowhere.

430
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:04,440
Nowhere.
What are they doing?

431
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,400
Nowhere.
Yeah, I think that joke held on

432
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,240
a little bit too long.
I do.

433
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,080
I will say that.
But you know.

434
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,640
That that joke is low hanging
fruit for a writer.

435
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,760
It really is.
No, I mean, I know, I know, but.

436
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,720
But the thing had a lot, it had
a lot of lot of really cool

437
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,480
Easter eggs too.
Like, I mean, when they were

438
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,080
getting ready to get on the
ship, they said they said they

439
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,120
had they offered Cliff diving on
Vormer.

440
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280
I'm like.
And and it's an experience that

441
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,360
you can only enjoy with someone
you love.

442
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,720
I was like y'all are dead dead
ass wrong for that.

443
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,560
That was funniest that was, that
was that was funny and you had

444
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,200
to be paying attention for that.
That was cool shit.

445
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,000
And shout shout out to shout out
to Howard the Duck being a

446
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,960
Android user 'cause he used
Google Translate to find out

447
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,840
what the map, what the menu was
saying.

448
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,600
Yeah, that that menu, I tell
you, the grandmaster, he's just

449
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,800
one of those characters is just
like this.

450
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,240
Just when you think he can't
sink any lower, then you get to

451
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,120
see him again and you get to see
just how low he can go.

452
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,400
So, yeah.
But oh, OK, Anthony didn't like

453
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,560
the episode.
Me and Mike liked the episode.

454
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:23,880
I didn't see.
I didn't.

455
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,040
Like it, he said.
It was OK.

456
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,560
Right.
I'm sorry, I Yeah, GHT was I

457
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,400
really?
Don't think there's too much

458
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,600
more to say about the episode
then is.

459
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,720
And I'm and I'm hurt by this.
I'm like, I'm like, we're not,

460
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,280
we're not even at 30 minutes
yet.

461
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,200
We're like almost done.
I'm like, man.

462
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,280
OK, well, what?
I mean to be here's some here's

463
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,640
some I.
I do like the the locations that

464
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,280
we went to.
We went to nowhere, you know, I

465
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,720
have to go to.
Yodenheim.

466
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:02,160
Yodenheim, yeah.
So I to be fair, Mike, the

467
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,760
episode was not really overly
complicated.

468
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,480
And I think that's why there's
not a lot of discussion for us

469
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,800
because it's not like there were
varying plots and it's not like

470
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,960
there were a lot of characters
that we were like usually kind

471
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,640
of dissecting what they're, you
know, what their motives are and

472
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,800
all this other stuff.
There's not a lot of conflict.

473
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,920
It's literally everybody is
trying to get hands on this baby

474
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,560
because the baby was born during
the convergence.

475
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,480
Yeah.
So it's it's kind of simplified.

476
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:38,640
There isn't really isn't a lot
to dissect with this one, for

477
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,800
lack of better words.
I was, I was kind of out, I kind

478
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,920
of confused convergence with
emergence.

479
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,400
I was like, oh, does that mean
that that the that the the

480
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,920
celestials coming out or I was
like, oh, convergence that's.

481
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,120
Like the convergence?
OK, yeah, because they, because

482
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:58,280
this is what I get for, for
bringing up, bringing up the

483
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,600
Eternals in the, in the Agatha
episode.

484
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,480
I've been, I've been thinking
like that that's got to pay off

485
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,520
somehow too.
Cause like, 'cause they don't

486
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,760
do, that's what they do is like
they don't bring something up

487
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,880
that's not going to pay off.
So I was like, so I had, I had

488
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,000
to, had to kind of think about
that too.

489
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,600
Yeah.
So disappointed, doesn't it?

490
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,640
Yeah, but but throwing these
things in from from movies and

491
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,040
stories which weren't very
popular is just a little odd,

492
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:27,040
you know, to me.
It kind of makes me wonder if

493
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,520
they're actually like, I know
that they've announced that

494
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,600
they're not going to do the
Eternals, too.

495
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,840
I know that they're, you know,
some of the other properties

496
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,600
that we've seen are kind of
questionable or in the air.

497
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,080
Like, like I said, we don't know
if there's going to be a Shang

498
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,360
Shi too.
We don't know if Moonlight

499
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,400
Season 2 is going to come, but
they are throwing these

500
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,760
characters in there.
So it makes me wonder if maybe

501
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,640
we will still see these
characters at some point in live

502
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,240
action, just maybe not in their
own things.

503
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,680
And that's why they're kind of
putting them in here, maybe to

504
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,880
familiarize people with the
characters.

505
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,680
But again, that goes back to
that conversation that we've had

506
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,000
about the people who watch the
shows versus the people who

507
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:16,040
watch the movies and whether or
not those two audiences are

508
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,160
going to converge.
You know I.

509
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,880
Mean, but what?
What's the point of the of

510
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,600
throwing in the Dark elves?
We're not going to see the Dark

511
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,200
Elves again.
No, but I think that.

512
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,040
We're not going to see.
We're not going to see, we're

513
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,120
not going to see Zeus in in
again because I doubt if they do

514
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,120
another Thor movie.
They're supposed to.

515
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,400
They're supposed to be a Thor
movie.

516
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,000
But I'm I'm not hanging my head
on that.

517
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,360
So, and, and I mean they, they
did, they did kind of throw out

518
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,080
throughout Hercules there.
So if Hercules comes back, then

519
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,960
Zeus kind of ties into that too.
So you never know.

520
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,400
Yeah, so the other ones like the
Dark Elves, KK, silliest and all

521
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,760
that.
That goes back to what you said

522
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,800
in the last episode, Anthony,
about the throwbacks, you know,

523
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:07,200
just kind of, you know, those
references maybe, you know, just

524
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,440
for fun or just because, you
know, hey, let's just give them

525
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,920
all these different enemies who
would want them for different

526
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,760
reasons.
I mean, if you think about what

527
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,960
Birdie is supposed to represent
this cosmic power, and she may

528
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,920
have something to do with, you
know, the the greater universe

529
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,360
in in general, the dark elves
were looking for power in Thor,

530
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,720
The Dark World.
We know that Lafi was looking

531
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760
for domination.
We know K Celius was looking for

532
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:43,160
a vessel for Dormammu.
So I mean, and well, Thanos

533
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,520
didn't even Thanos was like
y'all called me for it.

534
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,920
Like really Ebony Mall was like,
but he's a magical egg.

535
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,320
Magical.
Like OK but I mean got bigger

536
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,680
fish to fry.
Shout to Ebony Mall using

537
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,160
Groupon to get to get a deal on
A to get a deal on a conference

538
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,720
space.
On a conference space for a

539
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,600
resort that hasn't even opened
yet.

540
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaking of which, the fact that
Loki and Laffy offered the the

541
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,440
the the Ducks a a comped room in
the lodge.

542
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,120
I'm like, what lodge?
Zeus destroyed it when he got

543
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,000
They ain't.
No lodge no more.

544
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,720
It's gone.
So yeah.

545
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,840
So yeah, I thought, I thought
that was funny as shit, though.

546
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,160
It was like they they came down
and they were like, don't take

547
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,520
our don't you?
No, you have to take our baby.

548
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,400
And they're like, no, we're here
for a conference.

549
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,080
Like we're here for a
conference, but you said magical

550
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,280
baby.
Exactly.

551
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,640
OK, we can do that.
But yeah.

552
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,440
It it's it's really almost as if
these things are really written

553
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:47,480
for people like us who go into
the minutiae of the MCU.

554
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,920
Yeah.
And the comics, they are into

555
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:57,000
all of this weird and strange
stuff, you know, it's just, I

556
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,200
don't know, I'm still, I'm still
a little sore from one division.

557
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,520
I know I I.
Know it's it's hard.

558
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,440
It's hard to heal.
They will forever be trying to

559
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,640
have having to make that up to
you because but.

560
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,680
It's like they've, they've,
they've really leaned into it,

561
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,240
Like really leaned into this.
Yeah.

562
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,000
And they also have like.
They have a habit of making

563
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:29,120
these references that don't
necessarily pan out, You know,

564
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,600
just throwing stuff in there.
Like you said, for those of us

565
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,120
who are kind of deeper into it,
you guys more than I, because

566
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,840
you guys are more familiar with
the comics.

567
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:42,320
But just like even in the Agatha
show, when they mentioned

568
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,320
Mephisto, it's kind of like, why
would you even throw that name

569
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,920
in there if if there's nothing
going to come out of it?

570
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,120
Like you guys have been
mentioned in Mephisto or the

571
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,120
possibility of Mephisto ever
since One Division I, you know,

572
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,440
that was like one of the things
that kind of threw you off.

573
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:05,200
So yeah, I guess we just have to
see where they go with this and

574
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,280
whether or not it's going to
have bigger implications and

575
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,920
other stores.
I just don't.

576
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,640
I mean, it's weird because OK,
for example, creature Commandos,

577
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,800
like everybody in creature
commandos is going that's

578
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,200
playing the doing the voice
acting is going to be in live

579
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,160
action.
When they when they do live, I

580
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,520
do that in live action.
So it actually transfers.

581
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280
But this is actually the reverse
of it.

582
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,760
It's like they they're trying to
get a lot of, they get seventy,

583
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,200
7580% of the actors who actually
played the part to do the voice

584
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,680
acting.
So maybe 8085%, but it's like

585
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,720
they're they're trying to like
draw a parallel.

586
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,960
But I don't think that certain
things that they haven't done,

587
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,120
haven't really delved into like
as much as I want it in my

588
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,440
heart, they're probably not
going to do a Howard the Duck

589
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,720
movie.
And I'm probably not going to

590
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:05,520
see, I'm probably not going to
see little baby Birdie as a full

591
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,199
as a full blown adult.
I'm probably not going to see

592
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,560
how like unless I mean, if they
delve into it, they're they're

593
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,080
not going to do it because
they've already risked they

594
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,159
they'll probably feel they've
already risked that with

595
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:19,600
Eternals and it didn't work out.
And they don't have James Gunn

596
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,880
to turn it, to give it whatever
magic he has to turn something

597
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,920
obscure into a cult classic.
And it's like until they find

598
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,480
that they're not really going to
delve into something that they

599
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:37,000
don't think is going to become
profitable, popular and a

600
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,600
staple.
It's just like they're they're

601
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,199
going, they're going to kind of
stay the course and do things,

602
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,840
do things that are familiar.
And anytime they stray out is

603
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,719
going to have a direct
connection to something that's

604
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,840
already been established.
So it's just like they're not

605
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,719
going to they're not going to
take that risk again because

606
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,240
they've been burned too many
times.

607
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:02,320
So we're just going to have to
wait and see if we if see how

608
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,560
secret, see how everything pans
out.

609
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,200
Like if Secret Wars and every
all the other stuff that they're

610
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:13,240
doing actually goes back up to
the level that if that Infinity

611
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:16,600
Ward in game was that like,
maybe they'll, they'll

612
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,640
reconsider it.
But I don't think they will

613
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,320
'cause, you know, once I've been
twice shy.

614
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,800
Yeah, yeah.
OK.

615
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,440
Well, you guys have any final
thoughts to say about this

616
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,240
episode?
Fine, I'll in the words of

617
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:32,840
Thanos.
Fine, I'll do it myself.

618
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,840
All right.
Shout out to the Grandmaster

619
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,920
when they were when they were
sitting seated for dinner,

620
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,840
raising himself, then looking to
the side and lowering Darcy and

621
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,320
Howard.
That was funny as shit.

622
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,120
I'm like, really?
You weren't high enough to help?

623
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,640
It's like, that was awesome to
me.

624
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,000
Shout out to another little
Easter egg, Casillas.

625
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,960
When, when, when Yandu said that
he has a whole lot of offers.

626
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,320
He's like, sorry, sorry, Dumamu
doesn't bargain anymore And like

627
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,120
and took the egg from him like
when they when they were in,

628
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,800
when they were in nowhere, He
said Dumamu doesn't bargain.

629
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,600
I'm like, yeah, he got.
He already got burned by that by

630
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,800
Doctor Strange.
See.

631
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,360
Yeah.
OK, I was laughing at you.

632
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,440
Hey, your job.
You should be a writer on this

633
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,200
stuff.
I should right.

634
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:27,120
OK, so shout out to Loki
thinking he was going to be a

635
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,480
godfather after when they when
they got up, when they when they

636
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,440
were there, they were like that
whole that whole conversation

637
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,080
was hilarious to me.
Like like Loki is just, it's so

638
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,480
weird seeing Loki aloof and not
really kind of.

639
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,120
Dialed in trying to take over
the world.

640
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,080
Yeah, and not really knowing
what's going on, like I thought

641
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,560
that was hilarious to me.
Shout to the watcher.

642
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,440
Always being in the bedroom.
It's kind of creepy, but him

643
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,560
being in the background in the.
In the nursery, yeah, that was

644
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,120
kind of creepy.
That was kind of creepy.

645
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,720
I was like.
Yeah, OK, buddy.

646
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:14,920
I also I love it's a huge fury
said first time mom and gambling

647
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,960
addict.
He was like, hey, I'm I'm in

648
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,040
recovery.
I got a chip that's not the

649
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,000
right chip cause.
What kind of chip was that was

650
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,360
that he was holding?
I didn't.

651
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,760
I didn't.
See, it looked like looked like

652
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,440
one of the chips that he had
when in from last year's last

653
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,480
year's first episode, the the
Blade Runner episode where he

654
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,560
was running the Oh, OK.
OK, it's kind.

655
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,480
Of like a ship like that, yeah,
so.

656
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:42,480
And anyway, OK, Iris, like I
said in previous episodes, Iris

657
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,840
I, I have changed my ways.
I respect everybody's opinion on

658
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,800
everything, especially Anthony,
because he's one of the smartest

659
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:55,000
guys I know and he's one guys
that I respect thoroughly as far

660
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,840
as as far as nerdy things and
other things, 'cause he's

661
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,720
outstandingly smart, man.
However, I love this episode.

662
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:05,160
It was hilarious.
I've watched it at least four

663
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,040
times since it came out.
Of course I have and.

664
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:13,720
Only for and.
Well, well OK for then all the

665
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:16,720
reactions that people had to it
and ironically, some of the

666
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:19,640
other people had had similar
reactions to and the end with

667
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,800
Anthony to this.
So I'm like maybe just maybe

668
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,920
people and I I I want to quote
the words of the pig in of the

669
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,360
of the Mr. Potato Head in Toy
Story.

670
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,560
You want to cultured swine.
This this is this is this is the

671
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,040
height of film culture to be OK
to me.

672
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,880
But in in in short, might be.
Going a little far with that.

673
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,720
I'm just saying, but yes, I I
love I love this episode.

674
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:50,560
Like, and this is just it me, me
watching what if actually makes

675
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:51,880
me want to break out my what if
cart.

676
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,200
I would have comic books and
read and read them, reread them

677
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,680
again just so I just so I can
get that feeling.

678
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,320
But yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed
this.

679
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,160
OK, we're not going to ask
Anthony because we already know

680
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,600
how Anthony feels about this
episode.

681
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,120
I'm just saying, you know, we
don't need to, we don't need to

682
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,600
end on a negative note or kind
of sort of negative note.

683
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,680
We know it's OK for you.
And that's fine.

684
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Because, you know, I think we
talked about this in one of the

685
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,000
previous episodes.
The what if series is kind of

686
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,320
like you have your highs and you
have your lows and sometimes you

687
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,560
kind of like right in the
middle.

688
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,160
And I think we've all, for the
most part, been kind of sort of

689
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:33,240
split on these 4 episodes, which
I think is really interesting

690
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,120
because when it comes to certain
things, Anthony and I usually

691
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,760
agree a lot.
And then when it comes to

692
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,840
others, Mike and I usually agree
a lot.

693
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,960
And then sometimes you guys
agree and I'm kind of left, you

694
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,040
know, out in left field.
So I think it's very interesting

695
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,240
to see where our opinions vary
in these particular episodes.

696
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:54,680
So I'm looking forward to seeing
what the next 4 episodes bring

697
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,360
and how we'll feel about those.
But do you?

698
00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,760
Do you?
You know, if there's going to be

699
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,320
Season 4.
No, this is the final season.

700
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:03,520
This is it.
OK, this is.

701
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,040
It Yep.
Yeah, they ran out of ideas.

702
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,960
Yeah.
Yep.

703
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,360
So on that note, that is it for
our show.
