1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,720
Hello legions of undead
listeners.

2
00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:05,360
I'm Derek.
That's Noah, and on this episode

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,160
of A Bite of We Are Talking
Marvel Zombies.

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,880
That's me.
That's a zombie podcasting

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,880
still.
That was great.

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,480
Would we still podcast if we
were zombies?

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:24,760
I think.
We absolutely would.

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,760
All these zombies in this world,
they feel like not only do they

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,240
eat flesh, but they also have
things to do.

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,120
So even when you're undead, you
still have A to do list.

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,880
That's true.
I have thoughts about that,

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,240
though.
Oh, we'll get into it.

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,800
Before that, make sure you're
falling.

Comment below who your favorite

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,440
zombie was.
Yeah.

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,160
And spoilers ahead for Marvel
Zombies.

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,760
All four episodes, the MCU.
Just, you know, be warned.

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,720
If you haven't seen it, watch
it, then come back.

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,400
It's all on the table.
Let us officially take a bite of

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,480
Marvel Zombies.
Created by Zeb Wales, Earth's

22
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,440
Mightiest Heroes come together
in a last ditch effort to save

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,280
humanity as hordes of zombies
led by a sycophian queen claim

24
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:17,240
the planet hard T All right, So
what did you think of this four

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,200
part miniseries?
I had so much fun with it.

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,080
I love that they leaned into the
gore of it.

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,800
They are rating of it.
You can tell that it was

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
originally planned as a movie
and they chopped it up into four

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,840
parts.
I think do it UPS some of the

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,600
animation.
The facial expressions I had an

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,440
issue with in like the earlier
what if, but it seems like in

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,520
this they really upped it.
Voice cast was amazing, really

33
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,320
gross.
It it scratched that like zombie

34
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:50,120
itch that you would have
especially we're getting into

35
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,880
like Halloween season, so scary
movie season.

36
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,520
So it was a it was a perfect
little prelude to the season.

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,920
Yeah, I personally am a fan of
zombie movies in general.

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,640
I really enjoy them.
So I thought this was really fun

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,680
as well.
One of my favorite things about

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,240
it was seeing these characters
in a situation that we would

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,440
have never seen them before, you
know?

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,920
And I think that's what's so fun
about the What if series in

43
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:17,760
general is that, you know, I
think that with a lot of these

44
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Marvel movies, there's a big
bad, there's a villain, they're

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,520
fighting them and they're all
alive for the most part.

46
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:28,040
Whereas in this, it was like
taking on a a genre, right,

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,840
which it's really the superhero
genre, but now infusing it with

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,840
zombies.
And so being able to take those

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,080
characters and seeing how they
would survive in this type of

50
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,400
world and what that would look
like, I think was a really fun

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,400
thing to do and to see.
And as far as it being chopped

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,600
up into four pieces, you know,
do I think that they were places

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:54,320
where the tempo was lost?
I do, especially in Episode 3

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,760
when they get to New Asgard.
Like I thought that was a little

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,000
slow.
Whereas if it was a a full

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,200
feature length film, we're
taking a breath before the final

57
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,680
climax.
But in an episode, it just felt

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000
a little like we're dragging our
feet here.

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,520
Yeah, and sometimes they they do
breathers like that.

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:17,160
But in a a short miniseries,
whatever it's going to be, it's

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,160
more apparent, right?
I will say though, with the the

62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,560
what if, when, if, if this is
what we can expect from like

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,840
branches or spin offs from what
if, I'm very happy about it

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,720
because I didn't necessarily
like how the what if series

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,800
ended.
I think that they lost the magic

66
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,240
of like what what if is and
became more of its own, like

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,960
connected universal thing.
But if we were to get things

68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,560
just branching off from it,
that's great because I think

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,760
this was a lot of fun.
Do I think it functions well as

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,000
a Season 1?
I don't know.

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,240
Because if there's no Season 2
planned, it doesn't really work

72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,360
too well for me personally.
And that's what the ending you.

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,120
Know, I'm kind of wondering now.
Maybe I should have been more

74
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,120
eagle eyed.
Did the watcher show up at all

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,880
in this?
Oh.

76
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Man, probably.
Floating in the stars somewhere,

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,560
let us.
Know did you spot the Watcher?

78
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,240
Because so far, in most of the
Marvel animations, the Watcher

79
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,040
has showed up in, and it would
be weird if he didn't show up in

80
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,160
this because it's directly from
what if I don't know?

81
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:21,800
Yeah, let us know.
Yeah.

82
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Just behind.
Yeah.

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,560
So I guess like talking about
did it work for you as far as

84
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,200
like, as a miniseries?
Do you want more of this?

85
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,480
I, you know, it's interesting
because I didn't personally have

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,480
as much of an A problem with the
ending that you did.

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,800
So do I need more of this
specific thing?

88
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,600
I don't.
I mean, I mean, I would welcome

89
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,520
it.
Do I need it?

90
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,160
I don't necessarily know.
I do think, though, it would be

91
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,160
fun to see other twists in the
Marvel Universe, right?

92
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Not so much this donning my suit
and saving the world, but what

93
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,760
does it look like when there's
other dire circumstances?

94
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,600
Well, that's the beauty of What
If, right?

95
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,920
And even in the comic line, it
was just fun to see like what if

96
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,560
XY and Z had happened?
Then this would happen.

97
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,560
So it is a bummer that like What
If doesn't exist, but I'm

98
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,960
hopeful that we'll get stuff
like this because I believe like

99
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,360
the two like pillars that are
holding up Marvel Animation is

100
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,520
X-Men 97 and your friendly
neighborhood Spider Man.

101
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:22,120
So there's all this room for
eyes of Wakanda for Marvel

102
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,920
Zombies.
I'm excited to see what they do

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,240
with the animation part of it,
but what stories we're going to

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,560
get from that.
But going into like the cast of

105
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,480
this, I was so excited to see
Kamala Khan and Wanda Maximoff

106
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,360
as the leads pretty much in this
because they're so popular.

107
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,600
And if you think about the time
that this was like being made

108
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,800
and what the thought process was
at that time, it's like the end

109
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,400
of phase four.
So like end game and everything

110
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,000
happened and it's like ushering
in the new guard while the old

111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,040
Avengers are kind of like dying,
but like missing half their

112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,320
body.
So like, it was fun to see like

113
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,600
all of these characters we
haven't seen in a minute or

114
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,400
don't know what their futures
hold, right?

115
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,840
And so that's an interesting
thing for me as well.

116
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:12,240
I mean, just thinking about it,
it feels like, didn't they throw

117
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,600
these characters together
because they do have these big

118
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,800
question marks over their heads?
I mean, I don't want to sound

119
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,120
pessimistic about it, but these
are these series of Miss Marvel

120
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,400
1.
You know, what happened to Kate

121
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,600
Bishop after Hawkeye?
What happens to Re Re now after

122
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,960
the first season of Iron Heart?
So there's just all these

123
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,000
questions.
Even Chung Chi.

124
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,360
Where is Chung Chi too?
You know, that's a touchy.

125
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,720
Subject Eternals Icarus was in
here, right?

126
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,160
So it's all just so like they're
like, oh, well, people are

127
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,800
asking about these characters.
We, we got to give them

128
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,640
something, You know, again,
that's very pessimistic.

129
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,360
I feel like it.
Is though, like almost like a

130
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,240
looking glass into that time
when they were making it because

131
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,720
these were the characters on
everybody's mind, right?

132
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
And it's just funny to see them
all here.

133
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,480
And it's like, oh, I did miss
these characters.

134
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,320
I did miss Katie.
Yeah, I did miss Zhengchi.

135
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,200
Yeah, totally.
And seeing that dynamic play out

136
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,480
on screen again and even kind of
even closer than they were in

137
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,520
the movie, which was really cool
to see one.

138
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,560
That is a big I think in this
series was a huge high, but a

139
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,840
very odd choice was blade slash
moon knight.

140
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,240
So like we find out that like
Mark Specter got got in this

141
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,760
universe and so Blade, who has
Mahershala Ali's face but not

142
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,320
voiced by him as the avatar of
Konshu.

143
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,400
I loved this character so much.
I loved like how they were

144
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,840
playing Blade slash Konshu.
I thought it was really funny

145
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840
when you know, Valerkrie could
see Konshu but nobody else could

146
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520
see it.
But it's so weird to not have

147
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Mahershala voice the character,
but it has his face.

148
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,320
This would have been our first
like introduction to Blade as

149
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,680
Mahershala.
And I don't know, it's just very

150
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,120
odd to me why they didn't do
that.

151
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,320
Almost everybody else came back.
Even Elizabeth Olsen came back,

152
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,760
but not.
Absolutely.

153
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,160
Yeah, I know it is really
interesting.

154
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,840
And you have to wonder with
everything that's going on with

155
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,160
the Blade movies, if it has
something to do with that.

156
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,840
I mean, there's something to
even to be said.

157
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,960
Like maybe Mahershala Ali was
going to do the video, but then

158
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,080
when everything happened, they
had to bring someone in last

159
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,320
minute, you know, so.
So who knows?

160
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,440
But I was excited to see that so
many people did come back.

161
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,280
And you know, Aman Vilani, even
in animated format, when she's

162
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,080
just letting her voice, she
really is so much fun.

163
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,559
It really works as like a main
protagonist in something like

164
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,720
this.
When the is to get something

165
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,080
from point A to point B and to
have hope.

166
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,480
You got to have the Young
Avengers or Champions, whatever

167
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,360
they're going to call it.
And it's starting out with RiRi,

168
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,560
Kate and Kamala, Man, we got
little tiny taste of it, like at

169
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,680
the end of Miss End of The
Marvels.

170
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,360
And it's like, I want them to so
bad to be on screen together.

171
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:56,960
And this was like a fun tease.
Yeah.

172
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,720
I agree.
I mean, I really love that first

173
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,880
trio that we got.
I was secretly hoping we would

174
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,400
be with them the whole time.
But I will say with the loss,

175
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:09,000
well, the definite loss of Kate,
the question mark loss of RiRi,

176
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,520
we don't necessarily know what
happened to her, but I think for

177
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,800
for Kamala, she really had to go
through some emotional journeys.

178
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,680
It's almost this entire thing.
It almost.

179
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:23,840
Mirrored her show where she had
to kind of come into her own.

180
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,720
She came into being a hero being
interacting with all these

181
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,360
heroes that she looks up to.
So it was a weird like mirror to

182
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,560
her season.
But that was interesting.

183
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:34,560
Like I do you think her
pluckiness worked in this

184
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,880
setting?
I do, I do, because I think that

185
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,440
it was such a serious and heavy
setting that we needed someone

186
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,560
to lighten the mood.
But I do think that throughout

187
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,360
her journey that not that that
pluckiness went away, but it was

188
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,440
almost like she had to mature
over time because she was

189
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,720
literally watching her friends
and comrade die in front of her.

190
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,560
And so she's really experiencing
the loss that can happen when

191
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:01,520
you're a hero.
It's not just wearing a jacket

192
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,400
with their patches on it, but
now when you know those people's

193
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,080
things that are very serious can
happen to them.

194
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:07,360
Yeah.
It's.

195
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,880
Like you hold them up as like
this immortal thing that's never

196
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,240
going to be gone, and then
you're literally seeing them be

197
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,080
gone in front of you be gone.
And like Speaking of the deaths

198
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,400
and stuff in this show, I think
they did a really good job of

199
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,600
consistently raising but like
the stakes, but also making the

200
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,680
emotional weight of them still
hit, even though it's like we

201
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:34,240
know like we're seeing our
beloved heroes like Captain

202
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,560
America fight Red Guardian,
which was probably one of the

203
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:40,480
best things I've ever seen in
the MCU, but we're seeing this.

204
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600
But then seeing like when Yelena
had to sacrifice herself,

205
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,400
sacrifice herself when even Red
Guardian stupidly ate the flesh

206
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,520
that Wanda brought to New
Asgard.

207
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,560
I.
Ate a lot of fingers.

208
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,440
Yeah, seeing.
That stuff, I was like, I'm

209
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,720
still like emotionally like sad
that these characters are

210
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,960
leaving even though it's like a
cartoon version of them.

211
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,240
And it's also.
What if right universe that

212
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,880
doesn't necessarily matter, but
I think they.

213
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,680
I did such a good job of keeping
the like, emotional stakes

214
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:08,880
there.
I was also, oh good.

215
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,240
Well.
I was going to say that I wasn't

216
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,440
expecting the death toll to get
as high as it did, but in

217
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,720
episode 1 watching Kate Bishop
get fried to a crisp to bones in

218
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280
a second by zombie Captain
Marvel.

219
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,440
I which was Valley of the Broken
Gods is a banger of a name, but

220
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,760
to have Icarus who's an
inorganic immortal person and

221
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,680
Miss Marv or not miss Captain
Marvel, who is also doesn't need

222
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:37,720
to eat or anything.
They've just been fighting for

223
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,880
five years and they say don't go
into the Valley of the Broken

224
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,040
Gods because you're just in
their path is so cool.

225
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,880
But yes, RIP.
Man, yeah.

226
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Broken gods, that's that's
heavy.

227
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,440
That's very cool.
I.

228
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,040
Loved the effect unfortunately,
like how when she got killed I

229
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,840
thought it was such a cool
effect because they used it a

230
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,520
few times that like white and
red kind of flashing of

231
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,440
vaporization of people.
I think Blade got that way.

232
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,280
Hulk showed that way a little
bit.

233
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,200
It's just really cool.
I think the animation was really

234
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,320
really good.
The animation was incredible and

235
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,560
I think with the animation that
they really balance kind of they

236
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:18,080
they use the animation in both
comedic ways and in serious

237
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,680
ways.
And so some of those deaths were

238
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,640
pretty comedic.
I mean, like you said, I agree.

239
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,880
One of my favorite moments was
the fight between Captain

240
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,520
America and Red Guardian,
watching him roll around like a

241
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,120
wheel in that shield.
It was actually.

242
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,480
Kind of scary too.
It was scary, but at the same

243
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,240
time hilarious, you know?
But I think that, yeah.

244
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,880
And then Kate Bishop really kind
of immediately be being followed

245
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,960
by RiRi getting bitten and
knowing that it's kind of over

246
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,600
for her, too.
It it was just like, oh, I see

247
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,160
what we're doing here.
So don't get attached to anyone.

248
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,240
Yeah.
Unfortunately she Kamala lost

249
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,080
pretty much almost everybody
that helped her get to where she

250
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,640
needed to go.
Is there any standout moment for

251
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,400
you specifically in the 4
episodes?

252
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,320
Well, like I said, I I think
that that Captain America fight

253
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,640
was pretty darn phenomenal.
I, I just, I mean, isn't

254
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,640
necessarily one standout moment,
but I, I mean, they're, they're

255
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,520
listing him as Blade Night,
right?

256
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,080
And I just thought that
character was so cool that

257
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,040
mixing of these two kind of
eternal life forms coming

258
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,440
together, seeing how they would
work.

259
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,960
And honestly, I don't think they
would have gotten as far as they

260
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,960
did if they didn't have Blade
night in there.

261
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,160
Well.
No at all.

262
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,800
They had a literal God with them
the whole time.

263
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,600
Yeah.
And especially when Ghost

264
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,240
appeared, I mean that I was just
like, how are they going to beat

265
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,440
Ghost?
You know, Ghost just keeps

266
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,760
becoming.
Ghost a ghost yeah yeah, I I I

267
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,560
think it was one of my favorite
like stand up moments.

268
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:53,800
I love Infinity Hulk just
completely standing against the

269
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,160
horde that Wanda had made.
I think that just visually

270
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,560
looked amazing.
I really liked Thor and hulks

271
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:03,720
fight.
I thought it just looks so cool.

272
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,440
There's this moment where there
were Hulk is I believe bleeding

273
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,920
but it looks black.
But the way it trails behind him

274
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,120
was so cool.
It was like almost a different

275
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,800
frame rate than the rest of
them.

276
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,680
I just loved it.
I was like this is it?

277
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,000
Was it was really beautiful and
just I almost felt like when

278
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,560
Infinity Hulk was on the screen
he was like almost had a lack of

279
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,720
detail to him which made him
otherworldly and godly which I

280
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,880
thought was a really cool choice
with the rainbows running around

281
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,280
him.
One of my other favorite scenes

282
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:40,800
was the Mad Max Chung Chi scene.
So bizarre, so bizarre.

283
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,480
They're just a group of them,
yeah.

284
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,840
These like Rd. warriors just
taking on the desert with their

285
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,080
cows.
RIP I.

286
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Love Death Dealer and Jimmy
being like best friends and we

287
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120
haven't, we didn't hear a single
line from Death Dealer but we're

288
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,160
like they're best friends.
Well, it's like the one who

289
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,560
doesn't stop talking and the one
who never talks.

290
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,360
It's like, of course they
balance each other out.

291
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,520
I.
Also liked Katie and Chongqi

292
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680
sharing the rings.
I thought that was really,

293
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,280
really clever to have her still
be formidable in this world.

294
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,600
I I really like that.
I also like the callback.

295
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,520
So in Fantastic Four number two,
there is this whole big thing

296
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,360
about I believe we talked about
it.

297
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,360
I don't remember what episode we
did.

298
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,440
Maybe it was Secret Invasion
like before you want Secret

299
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,360
Invasion.
I had mentioned in Fantastic

300
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,640
Four number two scrolls disguise
themselves as cows.

301
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,000
So it was really funny in this
for them to try to get cows.

302
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,360
But then I was thinking, are
there scrolls disguising

303
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,840
themselves as cows that then get
eaten?

304
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,600
Zemo's going to use to eat like.
I have questions for this.

305
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,040
Freaking Zemo.
You just can't trust the guy in

306
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,800
whatever bizarre world you're
living in.

307
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,480
And also of course, his little
lackey is John Walker, which I

308
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,560
thought was hilarious.
I'm.

309
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,880
Glad he died the way he died.
He died similar to how Captain

310
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,920
America America looks, which was
really funny.

311
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,440
All right, what did you think
about the ending?

312
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:12,400
So Wanda, zombie queen of the
dead, needed to get the power

313
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,720
from the Infinity Stones to
supposedly, and this is what she

314
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,360
said, heal the world.
Now, to what extent, I don't

315
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,800
know, but she needed Miss Marvel
to help her with that.

316
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,320
What did you like the ending?
Did it work for you Well?

317
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,360
I guess I kind of lost track of
what was going on at the end, to

318
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,520
be completely honest with you,
because I didn't realize she

319
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,760
neat.
Well, yeah, I guess.

320
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Yeah, 'cause she was like
whispering to her right she.

321
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,440
Saw visions and stuff I didn't.
Put Doo Doo together but I

322
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,760
thought the ending looked cool
but I think it felt like such a

323
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,280
hopeless world was that.
What they were going for like a

324
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560
bleak ending and.
That's what it felt like to me,

325
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,560
right?
It's like every time they tried

326
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,200
something even, but for the
first 3 episodes, the entire

327
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,680
point is for them to get into
space to talk to the Nova Core.

328
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000
And when they finally do, the
Nova Core's like, no, no, no,

329
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,599
you're quarantine baby.
We're not here to help you.

330
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,440
Go back, go back, bye bye bye.
You can't have this spreading.

331
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,000
So it just felt like they're
actually wasn't a way to do

332
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,760
this.
There wasn't a way to fix this.

333
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,800
And so if it ended with Wanda
just healing the world, but

334
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,280
healing the world meant turning
everyone into zombies, then that

335
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,160
to me tracks.
Well it was like I'm I'm just

336
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,080
really curious about this right?
Because it is confusing because

337
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,600
they didn't explain why she
needed Kamala in the 1st place.

338
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,480
Like we saw when she finally
touched Hulk and got all the

339
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,000
power that Kamala's powers mixed
with hers in some way.

340
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:49,120
But so Kamala saw the world as
it should be, but realistically

341
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,520
it's not.
So it's almost like she put the

342
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,760
entire world in a hex.
But does that mean everybody's

343
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,160
in a hex or just specific
people?

344
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,560
Because then we she sees RiRi
telling her it's not real while

345
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,560
she's fighting off zombies.
So I think two things happened

346
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,800
here.
She hexed the world, right?

347
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,120
And I don't think RiRi is alive,
but who knows how Kamala's

348
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:15,120
powers actually work.
We still don't get answers to

349
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,840
that.
But in her show, she went back

350
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,120
in time and saw visions of the
past.

351
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:20,440
Now, was she actually there or
not?

352
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,360
I don't know but maybe she went
back to when Rhode Island Rhode

353
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:26,600
Island was fending off the horde
and Rhode Island Rhode Island

354
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,560
still helping her of like it's
not real don't listen to her.

355
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,560
That's what I think the ending
means.

356
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,680
But it's very bleak and it's
like OK so nothing was fixed.

357
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,800
We also have no answer so it's
like the House of em situation.

358
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Is there a season 2?
If not, this does not work for

359
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,600
me.
This one is just like, what if

360
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,840
there were no heroes and
everyone was a zombie, you know?

361
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,720
But also like the next step to
that is like a Koye.

362
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,520
It was like the Scion for her
has like sentience.

363
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Like it seems like some of them
get sentience back.

364
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,040
What does this mean?
Like they can make it.

365
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,520
It seems like Namor made a deal
with Zemo to like he feeds him.

366
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,160
Everybody's fine.
But like, so they're sentient

367
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,520
enough to make deals but not to
stop eating people.

368
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:19,520
I think they're made sentient by
Scarlet Witch.

369
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,080
I think when they have the red
eyes, she gives them back some

370
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,320
sort of control.
But really to do her bidding.

371
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,560
It's not like they're on their
own, right?

372
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:35,040
It's just she's, she's almost
the IT was like with with the

373
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,840
widows.
It was a technological takeover,

374
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,000
whereas this is a mythical
takeover.

375
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,000
Yeah, I mean, I I was trying to
in the original comics of Marvel

376
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Zombies, It's it's of revealed
that part of the zombie nature

377
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,320
of it is the need to feed.
And if you don't do it, you

378
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,840
actually start reverting back.
So it was like A twist in it,

379
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,040
right?
It's like, oh, if you, you know,

380
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,840
curb the urge, you're not gonna
if you just.

381
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,360
Diet and exercise.
You can become a human again,

382
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,920
right?
Get be stubborn and you won't be

383
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,240
a zombie.
So that's why I was trying to be

384
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,760
like, is this what's happening
here or is it just Wanda?

385
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,840
So I don't know.
I do.

386
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,560
I do think that there's some
weird like consistencies with

387
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,600
everything, but whatever.
It's a four episode miniseries.

388
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,200
I'm just curious if we're going
to get another one because I

389
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,080
would like another one, Yeah.
I just thought that that Kamala

390
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,440
just was spending the afterlife
with her besties getting boba.

391
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,840
But I guess the question is
though, is that if they did do a

392
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,840
Part 2, where does this leave us
now?

393
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,600
Oh yeah, I don't.
Know who's alive and who's not?

394
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,000
Does.
The Does Nova Core have to come

395
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,680
in to clean up the planet or
they just watch it or?

396
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,720
No, they don't care.
But.

397
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,520
That's what I mean.
What is Part 2 then?

398
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,440
This is me just hypothesizing
over what could possibly happen

399
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,800
because.
The the story doesn't feel

400
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,760
ended.
So it's very much like, I agree

401
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,120
with that.
So curious if we'll get more.

402
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:56,080
Yeah.
So I, I think we liked it.

403
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,760
We want more if there's more.
If not, then I guess you know

404
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,440
it's like what if and it's done.
What if there wasn't a second

405
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,280
season?
Yeah, yeah.

406
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,320
Let us know what you thought of
Marvel Zombies.

407
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,440
Did you have a favorite zombie?
Did you have a part?

408
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,200
Do you want more?
Did you understand the ending?

409
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,360
I don't think we did.
But it might just be what it is.

410
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,200
Yeah.
All right, till next time.
