1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,320
I grew up right by a White
Castle, OK, and that is exactly

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,200
what happens there.
Major mayhem, fights and

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,720
apparently robots cooking
burgers.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,920
That's new.
Automation.

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,320
It's the future.
Wow, take that humans.

6
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:26,840
Hello friends, I'm Derek.
That's Noah, and you're

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,040
listening to a Bite of And of
course, we are covering the

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,840
second-half of Iron Heart
episodes 4 through 6.

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,160
That was a quick series.
It was a very quick two weeks,

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,600
crisp, 2 weeks, 3 hours out of
your week.

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,800
I don't think it's been said
that they're supposed to be a

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:50,200
second season, so we'll see, but
tons to talk about reveals five

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,120
years in the making.
If you've been with us from the

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,440
beginning, something has paid
off.

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,160
Before we get into everything,
make sure you're following us.

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,800
Let us know down below in the
comments or what you thought of

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,880
Ironheart.
Did you like it?

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,640
Did you not like it?
What did you like most?

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,680
Are you and Natalie Stan just
like us?

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,040
And yeah.
So spoilers ahead for MCU,

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,640
Ironheart, and everything in
between.

22
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,720
So let us officially take a bite
of Ironheart episodes 4 through

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,080
6, created by Chinaka Hodge.
After the heist gone wrong, RiRi

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,640
must deal with the consequences
of Cousin John's death and

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,280
leaving Ezekiel's tech at the
scene of the crime.

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,200
Bent on revenge, Parker becomes
even more consumed by dark magic

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,160
as the identity of his evil
benefactor is finally revealed.

28
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:45,240
Revealed.
Revealed it's like they took the

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,280
hood off of the benefactor.
That was a stretch, but it's

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,200
fine.
That was a Reed Richards sized

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,560
stretch, which I'm just going to
real quick.

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,520
I just want to, I know this is
about Rhode Island, Rhode Island

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,480
and about Iron Heart, but we are
finally officially in Fantastic

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,320
Four month.
He's so happy.

35
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Fantastic Four.
Oh, that thing's hard.

36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,320
By the way everyone, I'm wearing
a heart monitor so I myself have

37
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,880
an iron heart just in case.
I just realized how much it

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,960
sticks out.
I'm just letting everyone know

39
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,200
all.
Right, General thoughts.

40
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,000
What did you think about the
second-half to Iron Heart?

41
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120
So I think I had said in the
last episode that I thought the

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,840
first 3 episodes were good, but
it took a while for them to get

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,480
good.
Like that third episode really

44
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,840
paid off.
Whereas I thought that all three

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,360
of these exercises episodes,
wow, all three of these episodes

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200
were very strong.
So I thought that they kind of

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,600
stood alone.
You know, if this was a week to

48
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,280
week show, I think that episodes
4-5 and six would have been

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,800
great views on their own.
I mean, they were, it was great

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,200
watching them together, but I
thought that they were all

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200
really strong.
What did you think?

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,160
That's it.
That's all you have to say.

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,000
General thoughts?
Oh yeah.

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,200
We're going to get into more.
I just wanted to be sure before

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,640
I just like skyrocketed.
Here he goes, Here he goes.

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,760
No, I will keep it.
Yeah, I think in this review and

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,280
discussion of this, we're going
to save that reveal for a little

58
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:16,320
into the episode, into our
conversation, because I don't

59
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,600
want that to consume it because
this is re re show and I don't

60
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,280
want that to be the only thing
that we talked about, right.

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,240
But that being said, I 100%
agree.

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,680
Every episode outdid itself
completely.

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,560
I was 100% enjoying everything I
was seeing the I would say

64
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,680
honestly, the last episode of
the season was the best episode

65
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,760
of the show.
And I that's pretty hard to do.

66
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,800
We started this phase as far as
TV shows goes with Secret

67
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,800
Invasion and we're ending this
phase with a really good show.

68
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,440
So they they grew at at some
point, but I'm happy we're

69
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,440
ending this phase is ushering
out into the next one.

70
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,080
Yeah.
I think out of the three, for

71
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,280
me, my favorite was actually #4
Bad Magic.

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,360
I really like the fact that we
needed to see her dealing with

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,520
what the heck she just did
right.

74
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,480
And she's trying to stay with
the group.

75
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,520
She's trying to be like, I'm a
team player.

76
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,000
I really don't know what
happened, but you know, it's

77
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,399
just not working.
And Parker can really see

78
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,520
through exactly what's going on
with her.

79
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,680
I also love that in this episode
we get to meet Zelma.

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,040
OK, you can't see down here, but
strange Academy T-shirt here

81
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,000
that one of my friends has made
and I bought it as soon as I saw

82
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,800
it.
I I'm telling you, yes, the

83
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:44,680
reveal is big when Zelma I I
don't know how Zelma Stanton

84
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,840
being in the show completely
flew under my radar and I didn't

85
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:49,680
know it until I saw her on
screen.

86
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,520
Oh so happy.
I just I'm everything about

87
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,040
Zelma.
I just love in the comics.

88
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,400
I love what they did with her in
the show.

89
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,880
But yes, go on, I just love
Zelma.

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Well, just that whole scene I
thought was really fun when

91
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,880
we're meeting Zelma, right?
So one of the things that they

92
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,680
did is in the first episode,
right?

93
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,640
We meet her mom's best friend
who is just kind of like this

94
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,560
hippie with the sage kind of
witchy.

95
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,160
And we're just like, in my head,
I'm like, oh, she's just like

96
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,520
this funny little character that
they're sticking here.

97
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,720
But ah, we learned that she's
actually the mother of Zelma.

98
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,320
And through all these
conversations, we learn Zelma's

99
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,920
back story.
We learn a little bit of her

100
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,920
mother's back story and we know
that she has studied with Doctor

101
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,200
Strange, or at least has been
under the tutelage his his

102
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,480
tutelage, right.
At some point, but they left,

103
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,680
which is good because if we know
anything from a Multiverse of

104
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,480
Madness, you know that place had
an attack from Wanda.

105
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,360
So it's good that they weren't
there.

106
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,880
Yeah, I agree.
So instead they're running this

107
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,280
really fun.
By the way, is this not just

108
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:52,840
like a very Derek store, like
it's candy and crystals?

109
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,240
Like, Oh yeah, that's amazing.
Yeah, sweets and readings,

110
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,280
absolutely.
Yeah, so I would go there for

111
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:58,480
sure.
We'd be best friends.

112
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,720
But I really, really liked her.
And I thought that they did

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,120
some, you know, throughout these
three episodes, there was like a

114
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,560
little bit of an injection of
humor throughout it that I

115
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,040
really appreciated.
There was one really funny thing

116
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,040
that after they've kind of
looked to see what this material

117
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,840
is that RiRi has, where between
the four of them, they just keep

118
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,760
kind of like passing the bottle
with the piece of cloth in it.

119
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,640
And it was just super funny,
just really physical comedy, not

120
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,480
really commented on.
And I just thought that was

121
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,360
really fun, especially going
from the heaviness of the

122
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,560
beginning of the episode.
Yeah, I I liked this start to

123
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,720
the second-half meeting the
Stantons was a joy and a

124
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,000
pleasure and I hope to see Zelma
in some capacity going forward.

125
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,480
Be that if it's a strange
Academy TV show, which I know

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,760
there's been whispers of this
show is interesting.

127
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,080
It it it was finished a couple
years ago, but I know they've

128
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,920
changed some things because the
MCU as a whole kind of change

129
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,040
trajectory, especially with
Jonathan Majors not being Kang

130
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,560
anymore.
So a lot of things have changed.

131
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,240
So my hope is that this show,
from what I've seen, is a lot of

132
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,360
people are enjoying it and a lot
of people are liking Selma.

133
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,440
So it's like Strange Academy,
come on, we need it.

134
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,320
It would be amazing.
It would just set like a whole

135
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,080
another different tone for the
MCU.

136
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,600
But we have a lot of Avengers
stuff coming up.

137
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,760
So I think that's kind of my
thing at the end of this or just

138
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,920
my thoughts of like, OK, these
things are cool, but like what

139
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,440
is next for this?
And I'm hoping some of these

140
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,040
characters we will get to see
again.

141
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,680
Yeah, I think that's kind of
been our question in these later

142
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,320
phases is where do these
decisions and these characters

143
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,800
fit in to the rest of the
universe, right.

144
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,800
And so I think that's a big
question mark that we have.

145
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,520
And I would be curious too, but,
you know, something like a

146
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,200
strange Academy TV show, you
know, we're still even waiting

147
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,600
for the Young Avengers at this
point.

148
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,160
So like, how far in the future
is it going to be?

149
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,600
Quite disappointed, and this is
my own expectations, that I

150
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,920
didn't get to see Kamala Khan
recruit RiRi or even Kate Bishop

151
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,840
or somebody recruiting her.
And I was like, oh, OK, well, I

152
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,440
know she's left with a big like,
oh, no.

153
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,760
But you know, hopefully we'll
see you again.

154
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,880
But so so you really liked 4 out
of these?

155
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,240
I would say 6 is probably my
favorite, but I liked 5 because

156
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,080
there's just something about
this fight in this White Castle

157
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,280
that was a lot of fun.
And I just like seeing the crew

158
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,200
one last time before, I don't
know, maybe we'll never see him

159
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,040
again.
But there's a particular moment,

160
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,560
one when Rui falls on to the
White Castle sign.

161
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,840
It spells out Ouch, which was so
funny.

162
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:35,360
But I love Shay Coulay Slug
walking away from that the

163
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,520
vehicle completely unharmed and
be like, you know what?

164
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,440
I know when to stop.
I'm I'm gone.

165
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,600
I'm good.
Yeah, when it's when it's you, a

166
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,800
a fantastic and super
intelligent human looking at a

167
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,000
giant ironclad Rhode Island,
Rhode Island.

168
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,600
I would say turning around is
definitely the best thing to do.

169
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Yeah, in episode 4, there was
that scene with Natalie

170
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,960
grounding Rhode Island, Rhode
Island with the technology of

171
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:03,480
showing her a memory with Gary
and her which getting the iron

172
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,200
head, finding out where that
came from was really special.

173
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,280
And I think that the show did a
really good job of showing the

174
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,280
battlings with grief and loss
and everything.

175
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,040
But then how you do you take
that and go forward?

176
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:21,240
One thing that I like that they
did about this in the show is

177
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,560
that fathers is a big theme in
this.

178
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:26,240
And we have Hood trying to
become his father.

179
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,120
We have Zeke or Joe or whatever
you want to call him, trying

180
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,280
everything not to be his father
and then re redoing everything

181
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,240
in honor of her father.
And I thought that was really a

182
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,400
nice through line between all of
the other themes and everything

183
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,440
going on in the.
Show I love that and I I really

184
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,920
didn't think about that so thank
you for for pointing you're

185
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,800
welcome making those connections
wow gods like.

186
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,800
So formal.
We're like in a literature class

187
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,000
right now.
I love it.

188
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,280
What does the red suit mean?
But I I love that.

189
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,240
And I think that really going
into that was important, right?

190
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,600
Because in the first half of
this season or series, whatever

191
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,280
you want to call it, we see her
just being so headstrong and

192
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280
leaping before she looks.
And it really is all because she

193
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,360
doesn't want to deal with her
losses.

194
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,160
And so we really finally have
her mother saying to her, like,

195
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,360
you have to deal with this
stuff.

196
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,360
You have to realize what's going
on.

197
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,560
And so that's part of Riri's
healing process.

198
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:29,680
I mean, by the end of these
three episodes, do we think that

199
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:32,200
she knows how to properly deal
with loss and grief?

200
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,920
I would say no, no but.
I think that's one thing I

201
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,360
really liked about Re Re as a
character and how they wrote her

202
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,200
for this because we don't really
know much about her and Wakanda

203
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,680
Forever.
We got a little glimpse and

204
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,880
seeing everything that she's
gone through and things that

205
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,080
she's constantly having to go
through was really eye opening.

206
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,800
But it also left us with, oh,
she's a good guy.

207
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,200
Like she would do good, but it's
like a morally Gray area with

208
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,440
her.
Like she made bad decisions and

209
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,080
she continued to make,
especially from what we've seen,

210
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,000
bad decisions.
And I really appreciate that.

211
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800
I appreciate the new things that
they've done with this and not

212
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,080
just a clear cut.
She's a good guy.

213
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,320
Like, oh, she's going to make
some bad decisions with like

214
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,320
robbing stuff or whatever, and
then she'll be good.

215
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,000
In the end, she's still made a
decision that she knew she

216
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,080
shouldn't have, but she did it
anyway.

217
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,360
Yeah.
And, and I think the thing going

218
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,480
along with that is that, you
know, she's a kid still, right?

219
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,880
She's in college.
Well, you know, so she's college

220
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,240
age and I think that.
A little less we're.

221
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,840
We're allowed to, you know, make
those mistakes when we're young.

222
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,480
Maybe we're not clearly thinking
things through.

223
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,320
Make these mistakes.
But you know what I mean?

224
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,160
So she everything in her mind is
to protect her family.

225
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:54,320
Yeah.
And to.

226
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,760
Yeah, well, her whole everything
around her is like constantly

227
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,480
not letting her get where she
needs to go.

228
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,840
So she's doing things to make
sure she does get there.

229
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,040
I get.
It us as viewers were like,

230
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,960
that's a stupid decision.
But for her, it makes sense, you

231
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,080
know?
And so I understand that I'm not

232
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,760
saying that the things that she
did were right or smart, because

233
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,480
they definitely weren't.
But I could see the reasoning

234
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:17,560
behind it.
Yeah.

235
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:21,560
So now let's go to the final
episode here, where I think we

236
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:24,000
could talk about the big reveal
finally.

237
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Yeah.
I think Sasha Baron Cohen as the

238
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,920
one and only Mephisto was
perfect.

239
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Perfect casting, the charisma,
the way that the accents kept

240
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,560
changing the, you know, you
attract more flies with honey as

241
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,640
opposed to not.
So it's like the the way they're

242
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,640
portraying this character is
absolutely perfect.

243
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,640
And I really, really appreciate
that he doesn't look like his

244
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,320
comic book accurate demon form.
Because at first I was like, oh,

245
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,440
that's weird.
They're not going to show what

246
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,400
they did in the spoon, but it
made sense.

247
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,000
I feel like if he would have
been really demoned out it would

248
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,920
have been a little too jarring
with how the series was.

249
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,080
Does that make sense?
Like, did you feel that way?

250
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,560
I.
Understand.

251
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:11,600
Yeah, I and I also think that
there's something to be said of,

252
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,120
you know, the devil will take on
a form that will make you feel

253
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,600
most comfortable, right, To make
a deal with it.

254
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,080
So if a giant red demon with
horns is sitting across from

255
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,720
you, you might run in the other
direction.

256
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,600
So for him to be, you know,
Borat is I.

257
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,320
He looked much more attractive
than Bora.

258
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,200
It's for it to be Sasha Baron
Cohen.

259
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,080
I think that, you know, with
that face, I think is makes the

260
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,640
most sense.
I do hope though, in the future,

261
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,800
who knows, maybe we've been
waiting five years for Mephisto

262
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,400
and then this is the last time
we'll be seeing Mephisto.

263
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,080
But I think it would be really
cool to see him in his full

264
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Mephisto form.
Yeah, we're going to get it.

265
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,800
I just I'm curious when again,
we're in this weird transition

266
00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:00,240
period going into huge Avengers
movies and you know, the next

267
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:02,960
Fantastic Four is leading
directly into that.

268
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,080
So I'm not sure if Mephisto's
going to play any part.

269
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,320
Could 100% could you know,
Doctor Doom is like the Tekken

270
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,160
magic merged.
I thought it was really

271
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,880
interesting that Rhode Island,
Rhode Island in an Iron Heart

272
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,280
show got Mephisto and Tekken
Magic before we got some of the

273
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,800
other big stuff.
So again, I appreciate that, but

274
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,080
then that begs the question of
like, oh, Mephisto, he's clearly

275
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,720
made deals with other people.
Who else has he made deals with?

276
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Which is going to be so much fun
to find out who he has just in

277
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,040
the MCU in general.
But where does that leave this

278
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,280
character?
Like, is there room for this

279
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,760
character or are we going to
have to wait?

280
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,920
Which is fine.
I'm fine with waiting.

281
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,080
We've waited five years since we
all thought collectively in a

282
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,800
pandemic that Mephisto and Wanda
Vision.

283
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,880
We were big perpetrators of that
as well.

284
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,320
But yeah, I'm I'm curious to see
where he would show up.

285
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,320
Spider Man, the title of the
next movie is Brand new Day,

286
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,120
which deals it's taking a title
from a comic.

287
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,480
I don't know if they'll do the
exact thing, but Mephisto is

288
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,040
heavily involved in that.
He's not married.

289
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,800
So it would be we.
I don't know how that story

290
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
would work, but he could.
He could show up in Spider Man.

291
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,360
That would be really cool.
I think that they should just do

292
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,800
a Marvel Cinematic special
called like, Oh my God,

293
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,360
Mephisto.
And then it's just all Mephisto

294
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,720
all the time.
Well, you know, what's

295
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,800
interesting is I think in like
2009, it was one of the comic

296
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,280
cons or something.
But Kevin Feige had said that

297
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760
going forward, because, you
know, the Infinity Saga was

298
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,080
ending and it was like, what's
going to be next?

299
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:45,200
And Kevin Feige had said like he
wanted to carve out sections of

300
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,280
the MCU and, you know, like
supernatural, cosmic, mutant,

301
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,440
whatever.
And it seems like they're kind

302
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,320
of doing that still with King
reworking all that.

303
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,040
I don't know how that's going to
work, but it would be

304
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,160
interesting if Mephisto was kind
of the supernatural side

305
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,800
villain.
Obviously he can be involved as

306
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,160
much as he wants, but I'm kind
of liking that.

307
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,160
Like there's a big overarching
like thing happening here.

308
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,960
You know, you could have the
Midnight Suns blade is supposed

309
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,880
to happen at some point.
We saw what's it called a Black

310
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,680
Knight at the end of Eternals,
like werewolf by Knight, all of

311
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,440
those characters.
It's like there's Midnight Sun's

312
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,920
potential Moon Knight to put
them all there where they don't

313
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,720
naturally feel like oh, cosmic,
you know.

314
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,360
So I'd like that.
That could work, but maybe not

315
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,840
yet.
I'd be really into that.

316
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,000
I think that would be that's a
really cool idea.

317
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,640
And you know, in in thinking
about over the last five years,

318
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,960
all the times that you and I
have been trying to track

319
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,120
Mephisto, you know, it started
off with Wanda Vision.

320
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,520
I remember at the beginning of
Loki season 1, right?

321
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,600
There was like a stained glass
window that had a devil in it.

322
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,600
We were like, it's Mephisto.
He's behind the Dva, right?

323
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,160
I think there was also like
maybe in What if I could be

324
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,440
wrong, they're all blurring,
blurring together.

325
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,200
But like the Mephisto mentions,
there was like a train at some

326
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,240
point where it was like that
could be Mephisto mention.

327
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,560
Anything could have been
Mephisto.

328
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,119
Yeah, they were wild ride.
But I do, I am proud of us that

329
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:18,839
we picked up on that background
Faust poster and we put that out

330
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:22,240
there and finally, finally, we
were right.

331
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:28,000
I think like, you know, I, I
remember there was, you know,

332
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,480
the scoopers and everything had
said like Sacha Baron Cohen is

333
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,600
going to be Mephisto and
Ironheart and everyone is like,

334
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,200
what are you talking about?
That's too weird.

335
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,000
It turned out to be true.
But like, I remember seeing that

336
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,160
and be like, whatever.
Like, of course, like this is

337
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,520
just going to be another ploy
for like it's going to be

338
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,320
Mephisto.
Everybody's looking out for him.

339
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,280
And I think as we were watching
this, I was like, and since

340
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,840
you're like, can Mephisto fit
into this?

341
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,040
And I think around Episode 5,
when you start seeing the loss

342
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,760
and the deal, like kind of going
that way, it's like, oh,

343
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,160
something is going to happen.
And I was still very much

344
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,080
surprised when Mephisto was
revealed.

345
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,200
As soon as I saw it was Sacha
Baron Cohen, I was like, there's

346
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,640
nobody else he's get.
Who else is he going to play

347
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,120
besides Mephisto?
Yeah, I mean literally making a

348
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:16,160
deal with the devil, right.
And I, I will say my one

349
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,840
critique is this.
Are you ready?

350
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,160
It's of course a Derek type
critique is that this whole show

351
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,240
takes place in Chicago.
If the devil is sitting you down

352
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,880
at a pizza place in Chicago, why
in God's name would it be a thin

353
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,880
crust crap pizza instead of a
Chicago deep dish oozing with

354
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,400
devilish cheese?
You know, what's weird is, so I

355
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,800
had watched this, we watched
these kind of separately just

356
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,320
because our schedules were a
little weird.

357
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,400
And I ended up watching like the
last episode while you were

358
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,440
watching it.
So I got to look at some things,

359
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,160
like pizza was weird.
I don't know if they

360
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,280
intentionally did it or if it
was like a Starbucks cup Game of

361
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,440
Thrones situation where like
just production just forgot

362
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,280
about it.
But like there was a moment

363
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,520
where like he had a deep dish
pizza, but like the pizza that

364
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,480
was in the middle was like
Tavernish style where it was

365
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,320
like kind of thin crust.
It was weird.

366
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,440
Like the pizza in general, it's
just weird.

367
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,520
I don't know if it was like
intentional or not, but I don't

368
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,800
want to really open pizza gate
with this because we just got

369
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,960
Mephisto so.
He's like, I even got a little

370
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,320
caught up in my head.
I'm like, well, maybe because

371
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,200
he's the devil, he's not
actually going to give them a

372
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,640
good piece of pizza because it's
never an actual good deal with

373
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,000
the devil.
But if we're thinking about

374
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,640
devilish things and sins, right,
gluttony, we want to be, you

375
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,000
know, slathered with all of that
deliciousness and oil and cheese

376
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,080
and sauce.
So it should have been on the.

377
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,840
Table.
Yeah, I have a food addiction.

378
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,280
What?
Like he just met me.

379
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,000
Like what?
Also drinking coffee with pizza.

380
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,400
Interesting.
You might have had tea.

381
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,840
OK, let me rephrase it.
Drinking tea with a pizza.

382
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,480
Why not?
He's British.

383
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:00,360
True, true.
That's very true.

384
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,000
I'll give you that.
All of our British watchers

385
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,280
slash listeners, do you drink
tea with your pizza?

386
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,640
Papa with with pizza.
Let's dig into a little bit more

387
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,040
of this magic side, right?
Because you were saying this

388
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,360
before kind of bringing the
magic into Iron Heart, but I was

389
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:22,800
kind of expecting RiRi in the
suit to have more magical powers

390
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,320
than than she did.
I was like, did you say what

391
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,960
your critique was?
Yeah, it was the pizza.

392
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,480
Very serious critique.
I would my critique here for

393
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,400
this, for just the series in
general.

394
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,480
It was very action light and
when the action happened, it was

395
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,600
fine.
I thought it looked great.

396
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,440
I did want a little a little bit
more magic because I think in

397
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,000
the first half when we were
doing this, I said I hope we

398
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,640
don't get it at the end.
We did and that was just

399
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,560
something that I want more of.
Obviously I love the magic side

400
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,920
to the MCU.
I don't know how RiRi would have

401
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:02,000
done more magic, but yeah, I I
think like it was enough magic

402
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,200
for it to be cool.
I love the new suit, but yeah,

403
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,840
we just got a little, a little
little.

404
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,560
Bit of it, yeah.
It seemed more like it.

405
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,280
Like, you know, Zelma was there
to imbue the suit with magic, to

406
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,960
fight magic, which was great.
And then, you know the part

407
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:23,720
where she she tricks Parker, was
that magic or was that some sort

408
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,280
of technological hologram?
So I agree, I wish that there

409
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,800
was more magic.
Yeah, I think they did enough,

410
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,760
but we just got like a taste of
the supernatural.

411
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,280
We got to taste a little bit of
the horror, a little bit of the

412
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,600
magic.
That's why I'm curious if it's

413
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,280
like setting up more because we
did get an end credit scene with

414
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,000
Parker and Zelma, and I'm not
too sure what this is setting

415
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,360
up, but it's setting something
up.

416
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,240
It's just like a very odd and
credit scene with these two

417
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,360
specifically, especially with
Parker.

418
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,400
I'm not he doesn't have the
hood.

419
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,760
What is he going to?
Where is he going to take Zelma?

420
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,480
Like is he going to use her to
get to Doctor Strange somehow?

421
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,640
I don't know, but I don't, I'm
not too sure where that leads.

422
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,800
But yeah, more magic is in the
future.

423
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,600
I don't know how.
Yeah, I I agree.

424
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,440
I was, you know, I love and and
credit scene.

425
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,880
I always think they're exciting.
It gives you a little peek into

426
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,120
what's happening with these two
characters.

427
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,080
It was kind of like, huh, And
also I don't know it it it

428
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:29,360
seemed like Zelma, while again,
young and powerful, still have

429
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,040
thought to behind what she was
doing.

430
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,880
And then like this random guy
walks into her shop and she's

431
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,080
like, well, what can I do for
you?

432
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,640
You know, it's like what?
She thought he was hot.

433
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,160
I thought he was hot.
I would be like, hi, she doesn't

434
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,640
know who he is.
Hey, I'm just, I'm not going to

435
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,160
blame her.
What I'm just saying is that

436
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,400
when RiRi walked into the shot
with a piece of that hood, she

437
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,920
was like, what do you got in
your pocket?

438
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,360
Meanwhile, this guy walks in.
No hood.

439
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,120
But he's got hood veins.
Come on people, use your brains.

440
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:03,000
I'm not going to talk.
Nope, not talking I'll of Selma.

441
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,160
Nope, not at all.
We keep we keep going this way

442
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,160
and I'm I before we go this way,
we do have to talk about Mr.

443
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,840
Stain just a little because he
we left him frenemies.

444
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,720
He told RiRi we're not done yet.
I don't know what that exactly

445
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,240
means, but he's also a loose
threat in this.

446
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,840
I like what what I liked this
show did was kind of set up some

447
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,200
of the plot stuff and they all
got handled in the second-half.

448
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,160
But then there's still most of
these characters around.

449
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,520
So I think a lot of the question
marks are what is next for these

450
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,080
characters.
But one thing we do know is that

451
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,160
Natalie, that real Natalie is
alive somehow doesn't have any

452
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,360
of the knowledge from AI
Natalie, which I guess that

453
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:57,960
would make sense and is real.
But we left Rhode Island, Rhode

454
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,760
Island with some of those demon
veins coming out.

455
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:04,760
I'm not too sure what that means
and where we go from here.

456
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,920
Like we're going to get Avengers
Doomsday and RiRi is just going

457
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,720
to be consumed by a demonic
force.

458
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,360
So there's.
Going to be now another subset

459
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:18,080
of Avenger called the Evil
Avengers and it's going to be

460
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,440
Wanda and Rhode Island, Rhode
Island, and then maybe a couple

461
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,040
other people.
Are you saying Wanda's evil?

462
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,320
Well you know, y'all know I love
Wanda but she really, you know,

463
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,200
you know, can't trust her
anymore.

464
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,720
Yeah, so I I love, I loved
everything about RiRi and

465
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,040
Natalie.
I thought that that whole

466
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,600
storyline was amazing and
beautiful, but it was just such

467
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,800
a somber note that we left on.
I didn't expect that for this

468
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,640
series.
I really, really didn't expect

469
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,760
that and I thought it was quite
impactful.

470
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,800
Yeah, and it, and it was really
interesting because like we were

471
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,680
saying before, we really enjoyed
these three episodes and the

472
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,080
trajectory of them.
It really felt like it was like

473
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,240
building up, building up,
building up.

474
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,400
And then that, like it ends not
with a battle, but it ends with

475
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,880
a conversation.
Yeah.

476
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,360
And it feels.
Yeah.

477
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:03,520
Well, yeah.
And then we have the

478
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,040
conversation with Natalie as
well.

479
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,000
And it's like, how is that?
How are you going to navigate

480
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
that?
Because then they're going to

481
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,160
have to tell Natalie, Gary died,
you died.

482
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,800
I brought you back because I
talked to the devil in a pizza

483
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,320
shop.
Like, it's going to be very

484
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,680
confusing for somebody.
Yeah.

485
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:21,400
And I think for everybody now,
it was like, you know, when the

486
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,040
AI Natalie disappeared, right,
when they imbued the suit with

487
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,000
magic, it almost seemed like
everyone was like, Rhode Island,

488
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,280
Rhode Island, It's OK.
It's not really her.

489
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,840
And so they were OK with that.
But now what is?

490
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,720
How is everyone going to deal
with this memory?

491
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,000
Memory less real human Natalie.
Yeah, well, I mean, it seems

492
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,920
like everything prior to
unfortunately when she had

493
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,720
gotten shot, she is her.
I'm I'm not looking forward to

494
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,680
if we see it, maybe we won't.
I don't know how this is going

495
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,960
to work, but when Xavier finds
out that his sister is alive,

496
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,960
that's going to be rough.
That's going to be rough,

497
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,120
because then he's going to find
out what RiRi did.

498
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,360
Yeah.
Yeah.

499
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,360
Overall, fantastic.
I think, you know, I I remember

500
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:10,960
saying in the beginning, I like
it and I want to love it.

501
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,680
I ended up loving it.
I think there's so many things

502
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,160
here.
The second-half is just so, so

503
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,920
good.
It.

504
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,760
I appreciate the first half
because it set all of it up, but

505
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,480
just adding some of these extra
supporting characters really

506
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,920
helped the show.
It was, it was funny because

507
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,200
like just leaving the crew, like
Parker's crew kind of like, OK,

508
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,840
they're gone.
What's weird is I didn't miss

509
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,480
them.
And I'm not saying like, oh,

510
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,480
they're forgettable, but the
Stanton's and everything, we're

511
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,280
so impactful that it kind of
felt filled that void.

512
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,280
So very good.
I would say this is up there

513
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,080
with like supporting casts for
these MCU shows.

514
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,080
Yeah, I think that like you're
saying this, the supporting cast

515
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,200
really was strong in this.
And, you know, in these two

516
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:59,120
parts, we had two full, you
know, cast of players that I

517
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,240
really enjoyed.
And you know, in the

518
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,360
second-half, even having Ezekiel
really kind of literally

519
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:08,680
transform he.
Became all of the things that

520
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,760
all the blueprints he gave Rhode
Island, Rhode Island, they put

521
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:11,800
up inside him.
That's so.

522
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,280
Fucked for real.
I mean, that guy drilled things

523
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,120
into his head that was pretty
rough, but I I thought that that

524
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:21,680
character is really interesting.
And and that's the thing about

525
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,360
this series is that there's so
many question Marks and Rhode

526
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:30,280
Island, Rhode Island kind of has
a lot of adversaries that are

527
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,920
still out there.
So what does that mean for Rhode

528
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,280
Island?
Rhode Island, You know, there's

529
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,920
Mephisto, there's Stain, There's
Parker.

530
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Well.
Mephisto's not her adversary.

531
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,480
He got what she wanted and she
got what he wanted.

532
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,240
I guess I should say she has
people that are going to be.

533
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,280
Oh no, I know what you mean.
Her good.

534
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,520
He's just not going to actively
even give two shits about her

535
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,200
like he has her soul now, so
bye.

536
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:58,200
How do you get it back?
Yeah, that's, I think that's

537
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,360
going to be the biggest thing.
I don't know if originally it

538
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:04,200
was all leading or some parts
were leading to like Strange

539
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,200
Academy or what that was going
to look like.

540
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,280
Like was a King variant supposed
to be in the show of some sort?

541
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,760
I don't know.
So I think if they're going to

542
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,440
have Iron Hearts or RiRi be
involved in some of these

543
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,000
Avengers movies, they're going
to have to figure out a way to

544
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
solve that problem, like get her
out of the contractor, get her

545
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,760
sold back somehow.
So leading up to that point,

546
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,040
I've no idea how that's going to
happen.

547
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,160
Yeah, if it's going to happen.
It's just a big old question

548
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,680
mark.
Yeah, I will give this 4:00 to

549
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,840
5:00.
I'll give it three out of five.

550
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,960
Nice.
Yeah, Three hearts out of five.

551
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,400
Four hearts out of five.
But let us know what you thought

552
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,520
of Ironheart.
I think it's only going to be

553
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,440
one season, Boo.
But we will see them again,

554
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,880
hopefully in a Champions or
Young Avengers, whatever they're

555
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,360
going to call it.
I'm excited for the future for

556
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,920
this.
But also, Fantastic Four comes

557
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,520
out this month, so yay.
So it will definitely be

558
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,200
overshadowed.
No, never for me, no.

559
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,880
No, it's just going to be like
in full Fantastic Four merch the

560
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,680
next time you see him, you know?
That girl.

561
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,560
Popcorn buckets.
You know that girl that is that

562
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,400
meme forever of like getting
ready for whatever that I'm

563
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,080
that's me.
You will be saying it's just

564
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,280
going to be covered.
I already have Fantastic Four

565
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,560
comics up here, it's just going
to be covered.

566
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,760
I can't wait to see it.
Just Pedro's face.

567
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,760
Behind me, you and all your fan.
Fan fantastic for joy.

568
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,880
Thank you.
OK, Let us know what you

569
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:32,920
thought.
Goodbye.
