Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah, and you're
2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,240
listening to A Bite of.
Where we take our current
3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,200
favorite pop culture of session
and we enjoy it 1 nibble at a
4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,440
time.
One nibble.
5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,680
Just the littlest nibble at a
time.
6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,320
It's funny 'cause this is like 1
nibble of two separate meals.
7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,120
Yeah, this is like taking two
different sandwiches and
8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,960
smashing them together.
I don't like that.
9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,440
It's weird.
Exactly.
10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,960
Yeah.
This episode's of X-Men 97,
11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,680
Episode 40, Tendo and Life death
Part one.
12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,600
We have a lot to talk about.
It's going to be probably a
13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,680
little shorter episode because
we don't have two episodes to
14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,240
talk about like we did on our
first one.
15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,320
Yeah, we had three.
We had three.
16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,120
Oh yeah, that's right, because.
We waited two weeks.
17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,400
Also, if I am sitting very
rigidly, I have like a back
18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,480
injury right now, so I'm very
much like Mojo and his I wish I
19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,240
had Mojo's chair.
Oh my God, just walk me around.
20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,960
And also have a thing that
shoots stuff.
21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,640
Yeah, that'd be really cool.
So programming stuff, Is it a
22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,040
program?
Are we a program?
23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,480
Yeah, we're a show.
Episode show.
24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,320
We have a lot of fun stuff
coming up, so yes, we are doing
25
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,920
X-Men 97, releasing them on
Saturday mornings.
26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,480
So hello, if you're listening to
this on Saturday morning with
27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,520
your bowl of cereal, I hope.
What cereal you're eating?
28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,040
If you are, let us know what
cereal you're eating.
29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,320
That'd be fun, but we have some
very exciting things coming up.
30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:42,400
We got some interview stuff and
some like saw things before it's
31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,120
released some stuff and we kind
of hinted it on our Patreon, but
32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,160
we're not going to say it yet,
so you'll be surprised.
33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,200
So we're going to have some
double up weeks, which is going
34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,760
to be fun.
So much content coming your way.
35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,000
Very, very.
I'll just say one, because one
36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,080
is coming out like next week, so
fall out.
37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,680
So.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, got to
38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,040
watch fall out and we will have
a review on that.
39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,080
So that's going to be
interesting.
40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,240
Thanks, Prime Video, Wink.

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,759

alerted for spoilers for two
48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,640
very separate storylines that
happened in one episode.
49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,520
All right, so let us officially
take a bite of X-Men 97 Episode
50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Four Mo Tendo Slash Life Death
Part One directed by Chase
51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,520
Conley and written by Beau de
Mayo Jubilees plans for her 18th
52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,320
birthday go haywire when she and
Roberto are trapped in Motendo.
53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,880
The luminous pair travel through
levels of her life and come face
54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,280
to face with her own face.
Storm forges a bond with Forge
55
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200
as they forge ahead in a plan
for her to regain her powers.
56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,680
Unfortunately for Storm, a Storm
brews after learning about
57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,760
Forge's past, and she is
confronted with a demon who
58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,200
wants to consume her powerless
grief.
59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Wow, with a lack of.
Storms, I liked using.
60
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,000
That's the same words to mean
the same thing.
61
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,840
What is?
What is that called?
62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,280
Art.
No ow.
63
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,560
We can't.
Laugh in this episode.
64
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,920
No fun on this episode.
What is that?
65
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,040
A homonym.
That no, a homonym is like witch
66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,560
and witch.
Whatever.
67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,280
It's literally the meaning of a
word.
68
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,640
It's just their names.
No.
69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Yeah.
So I guess you're right.
70
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,000
Yeah, it is a homonym.
It's forge and forge, but it's
71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,040
it's a proper noun and and then
the actual.
72
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Thing.
Anyway, out of a bite of school?
73
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,280
It's not All right.
So how did you feel about this
74
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,480
episode?
Slash 2 minisodes I believe.
75
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,840
When it ended, I looked at you
and I said that was weird.
76
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,880
And I think I still kind of sit
with that, but not in a bad way.
77
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,800
I think that they were just very
different episodes.
78
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,800
You know, I was, as I was
thinking about it, I was like,
79
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,080
there are similarities, right?
So there are really two people
80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,360
at the center of both stories,
both male and female, having
81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,360
some sort of relationship beyond
just being a pair of mutants.
82
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,440
And I think that they were both
trying to discover what their
83
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,960
powers are and who they truly
are, but they're presented in
84
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,400
very different ways.
Yeah, I I I didn't mind it.
85
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,920
I think this is the first not
flaw.
86
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,800
I don't want to say flaw because
since this episode it's been 10
87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,800
out of 10 and I think them
together great on their own.
88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,280
Putting them together, it does
very much feel like those old
89
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,000
cartoons and stuff like that or
even old TV shows where they
90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,880
would kind of do that.
I believe the only most recent
91
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,400
thing that's done this is
Sandman when they released that
92
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,160
episode 11 and had two
completely different episodes
93
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,920
but just told the story.
The only like not to start this
94
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,440
off with, like a critique.
The only thing is I wish they
95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,280
just had life death by itself
because of what happens in that
96
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,560
episode.
And we'll get more into that
97
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000
when we get to it.
But it needed a little bit more
98
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,560
room to breathe for, you know
that I love you to, like, be
99
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,280
worth it and to have the impact
'cause it just, it was so brisk,
100
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,200
yeah.
I'm curious about the decision
101
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,520
of doing them back-to-back
instead of integrating them
102
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,440
together.
That was interesting.
103
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,480
Because I really do think that
they mirror each other.
104
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,720
It is, it's a similar journey
between the two pairs.
105
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,000
So why not splice them together
like you would any other sort of
106
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,920
drama?
I mean, in the last couple of
107
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,280
episodes we saw that we saw
different characters dealing
108
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,040
with things at the same time.
So why in this episode in
109
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,840
particular did they want to
separate them?
110
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,760
And also I feel like it was a
little imbalanced in the sense
111
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,280
that I think it was more 2/3 MO
tendo and one third life and
112
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,760
death.
Yeah, I think life and death got
113
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,560
maybe 10 minutes.
Life.
114
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,840
Death Not in, Yeah.
Life death, life death got about
115
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,240
10 minutes.
So, you know, it's one of those
116
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680
things where I think I'm fine
with it.
117
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,920
You know, maybe they really
wanted to tell this MO Tendo
118
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,840
story, but like there wasn't
enough of what they had to make
119
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:24,240
it the full runtime.
You know, it is what it is at
120
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,800
this point, but I feel like
maybe not having it with life
121
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,800
death probably would have been
better.
122
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,120
And it's almost like MO Tendo
had so much action and all this
123
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,840
like high energy stuff and then
life death was somber and quiet.
124
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,600
So maybe to keep that energy
until I keep people engaged,
125
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,400
they were like, let's have a
higher energy thing.
126
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,640
And then this, I don't
necessarily need that, but I can
127
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,080
see the reasoning behind it.
I just want, I want Storm's
128
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,640
story to be able to breathe just
a little bit.
129
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,600
Yes, truly.
Feel the breeze.
130
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Because I think it's only two
parts, yes, for this story.
131
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,640
So Motendo, let's get into this
episode a little bit.
132
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,400
I love the beginning part
because there's quite a few
133
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,720
things that happened before they
get to the arcade.
134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Yes, I want to start with the
first first, first thing that I
135
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,280
want to talk about again in at
least I believe we are seeing
136
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Gambit's culinary exploration.
I'm very sure he cooked those
137
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,880
muffins.
Well, he probably did.
138
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,200
Yeah, yeah.
And so he's serving everyone.
139
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,520
And right off the bat, we start
to see this little weird tension
140
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,880
in this love triangle right
between Magneto Rogue.
141
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,480
We don't know if it's a love
triangle, but it's definitely
142
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,600
some like, Dick measuring.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
143
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,240
It's like a pissing contest of
some sort and I am kind of
144
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,960
curious about how Gambit is
feeling about this because he
145
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,720
plays it off very coolly.
I think he doesn't have any hard
146
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,720
evidence yet, and I do believe
he trusts Rogue, so it's
147
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,960
interesting.
I'm not sure.
148
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,240
I also I don't know the status
of the relationship.
149
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880
Are they official?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
150
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,360
Oh God, I'm getting like comics
in the show.
151
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,760
I would.
Well, I mean, yeah, they're
152
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,080
together for sure in the show.
I know when the comics, they're
153
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,680
married.
Are they married in the
154
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,200
animated?
Maybe not.
155
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,040
I don't think so.
But they're definitely together,
156
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,880
OK?
Is like they're for sure
157
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,800
together.
I didn't like how he's like, oh,
158
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,560
I got you coffee.
And the magneto's like, I
159
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,640
already did it, 3 sugars.
OK, how long have you guys not
160
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,240
been together?
And you know that she likes 3
161
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,400
sugars.
And also, she's sitting there
162
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,799
with a mug already.
And also Magneto.
163
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,559
Who's going to wash those
spoons?
164
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,640
You.
I don't think so.
165
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,240
Three, He can probably just make
the dirt come off of them.
166
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,559
It's the master of magnetism.
And then the last thing I want
167
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,160
to say about this beginning
thing is Morph.
168
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,040
Making fun of Magneto's dead
parents and especially with like
169
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,560
how they died.
It's like morph.
170
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,600
You know what?
Look, Morph, I think was just
171
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,280
trying to relieve some of the
tension, OK?
172
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520
And it backfired.
You really was.
173
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Unfortunately.
And I and I also am a little
174
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,120
annoyed at Magneto in the sense
that like, OK, you you just got
175
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,080
here right?
And you're already pulling rank
176
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,960
on everyone who has been an
X-Men much longer than you have.
177
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,960
And he's like, we're going to
practice all day and they're
178
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,120
like, but it's Jubilee's
birthday and he's like, not my
179
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,640
problem.
No, it's not.
180
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,520
You know, they need to train.
I do feel like there is a time
181
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760
and place, but like if you're
going to do the Danger Room,
182
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,240
like maybe have like it be a
party theme and also like.
183
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,240
Train laser tag?
Yeah, absolutely.
184
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,760
He.
Could go the extra mile, but I
185
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,520
don't think he, like, you know
the Brotherhood of Mutants
186
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,680
really wasn't there to throw
parties.
187
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:44,440
So I think he needs to learn how
to also engage in a family.
188
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:47,960
I I I do think it's kind of
funny and and like, this is just
189
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,240
the life of being an X-Men.
I think is literally, maybe a
190
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,600
day or two ago we discovered
that the Jean Grey who's been
191
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,720
living with us is actually a
clone and everything's just back
192
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,720
to normal.
Everyone's like, OK, well, she
193
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,680
left.
Well, they're gone at this point
194
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:04,320
too.
They're they're at the UN.
195
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,360
And I really did like how in the
intro they've been changing
196
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,240
things every episode.
And in this one you see that
197
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,560
Jean actually has her hair up
and this and not down.
198
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:17,400
So the intro for the first three
was actually Madeline Pryor and
199
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,800
now it's right in the gene.
So it's just the small little
200
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,720
details that are like, that's
cool.
201
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,000
The gene for the prior three was
actually Madeline Pryor.
202
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,520
Yeah, I knew you were going to
have one.
203
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,560
You got it.
I saw.
204
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,440
I saw it in your eye.
It was right there.
205
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,200
All right, so to the game.
Mojo got to love him and got to
206
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,400
hate him.
Oh, totally.
207
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,320
This particular mojo definitely
looks like he went through some
208
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,400
like weight loss or whatever,
but I like how they explained it
209
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,040
with like he feeds off of the
ratings, right?
210
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,640
This interdimensional alien
needs to put on a show to get
211
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,680
the ratings.
It's just a it's a really cool
212
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:54,080
concept and I love that we're
finally getting something now
213
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,520
with the X-Men that show how
kind of kooky and weird the
214
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,120
X-Men can be.
And this was a great showing for
215
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,440
that.
Yes, I believe it is a
216
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,000
commentary on how humanity
consumes reality TV and watching
217
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,960
those struggle in things like
Survivor or Big Brother.
218
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,520
Yeah, or it's just silly fun.
Whatever you want to think of
219
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,680
it.
I did love you know I was doing
220
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:20,960
a little research on on MOJO and
I think I was inspired by this
221
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,160
from marvel.com Mojo Rules over
the Planet Mojo world in the
222
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,200
dimension dubbed the Mojo verse.
Oh yeah, yeah.
223
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Exactly so.
It's just like using Mojo and as
224
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,120
many things as possible.
That's why it's not Nintendo.
225
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,320
It's MO.
Tendo.
226
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,560
Yeah.
I also like how MO Tendo has
227
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,240
just appeared in Jubilee's room
and she's like, cool, let's play
228
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,080
it.
No big deal.
229
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,360
Interdimensional alien.
This is what he does.
230
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,560
Yeah, yeah, that's how he it's
how he rules.
231
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,160
The really cool thing about this
episode is that we got to see
232
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,400
some of the big hits, like they
said in this episode.
233
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,320
So we got to see Savage Land, we
got to see Magneto's space base,
234
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,480
and we got to see Jenosha a
little bit very briefly.
235
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,400
So it's really cool to kind of
go back to those very iconic
236
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,800
things and this.
But this story, while it's being
237
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,880
fun and injected with nostalgia,
because we got that arcade game,
238
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,600
which most of us know and it's
amazing.
239
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,000
I was always Wolverine when I
played that because it was just
240
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
fun to slice, slice and dice
things.
241
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,840
I was always Storm, of course.
Of course.
242
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,840
By the way, everyone.
You can purchase the actual
243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,120
arcade cabinet for about $500
brand new on Wayfair.
244
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,480
Best Buy in a couple other
places.
245
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,000
I'm just putting that out there.
Like you don't even have to bid
246
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,360
for it.
No, you can just buy it.
247
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,480
Yeah, that was tempting.
He Derek, literally before we
248
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,760
started, he was like, am I going
to do this?
249
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,920
Like, should I buy this arcade
cabinet?
250
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,560
I was like, we don't have room,
even though we have a whole
251
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:41,120
basement.
I was.
252
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,800
Like we have a basement.
What do you mean we have no
253
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,920
room?
It's like that's all I would be
254
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,360
doing.
Yeah.
255
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,720
Deka deka Dang Dang Deka Dang.
Dang, that would be really fun
256
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,600
though.
I'm just, you know, maybe maybe
257
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,840
we will a.
Little tournament?
258
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,440
Maybe.
We'll Maybe that'll be our
259
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,960
Christmas gift to each other
this year.
260
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,520
So the the episode, you know
what what does more to say than
261
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,320
like they hit it, right?
They gave us that feel of the
262
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,880
arcade.
They gave us a story with it.
263
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,320
It was fun.
Yeah, my my favorite parts in
264
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,280
this episode was actually when
it pulled out from being in the
265
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,880
game with them to watching the
game when it really had that
266
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,480
sort of.
I mean it was an 8 bit.
267
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,880
It was obviously more than that
16 bit look to it, that full on
268
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,280
nostalgia moment of them in the
side scroller.
269
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,360
Yeah, it's amazing.
It was really fun.
270
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,000
So another thing I I like seeing
and this is that we get to see
271
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,680
Jubilee being more self assured
throughout this entire journey,
272
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,520
right?
Roberto was kind of the young
273
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,760
fool that's falling around.
We see it.
274
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,080
And you know, by reliving her
life, seeing all the past trials
275
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,160
she's been in, you know, leading
up to her 18th birthday, who
276
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,000
knew?
She was even 17 years old at
277
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,080
this point?
And I even love seeing when
278
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,240
they're falling from the sky.
Roberto's falling on his butt,
279
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,440
and she's landing in the perfect
superhero pose.
280
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,680
Oh yeah, yeah, that's.
And you can tell who has
281
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:01,320
training and who doesn't.
Yeah, it was great because it
282
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,840
also, you know, it's a kid
turning 18, so they're having to
283
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,240
do with like, I'm not a kid
anymore, I'm an adult.
284
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,840
So, like, are you going to stay
in this video game forever and
285
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,440
never age and just replay the
hits all the time?
286
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,480
But I think with having Roberto
there grounded her a little bit
287
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,320
and showed her that there are
stakes and maybe this isn't the
288
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,720
best place to be.
Like, it's a little enticing,
289
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,000
but you need to, like, wake up.
Oh right, it it's that thing of
290
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,240
like, wouldn't we all love to
just play all day?
291
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,160
But it we can't.
You know?
292
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,120
Although it seems annoying that
Magneto says no, you can't
293
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,640
celebrate your birthday, you
have to train.
294
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,360
OK, place and time, but I think
that's for.
295
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,960
Him, right?
But there is that point of Yes,
296
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,080
it would be wonderful if we
could live in a land of video
297
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,480
games, but there is something
that we're truly fighting
298
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,160
against.
Here.
299
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,560
Right, right.
The last kind of Easter eggy
300
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,360
thing that I'll say is I loved
it when they first really landed
301
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,880
in it and the posters behind
them was Days of Future Past.
302
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,840
It was a very much homage to
that.
303
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,040
It was.
That's great.
304
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,120
Those little tiny things.
If you found an Easter egg that
305
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,240
you really like that we didn't
mention, just let us know
306
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,520
because there are so many in
this.
307
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,640
And then a big thing that
happens in this is we get a
308
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,640
different version of Jubilee,
and in the show it's a little
309
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,720
different than the actual
version that happens.
310
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,960
So Abscissa, is that how you
would say it, right?
311
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,800
In the comics, it's an actual
like alternate future version of
312
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,720
her.
And this is just a hologram.
313
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,120
But the story and everything you
know really just is the same
314
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,480
thing Jubilee gets to see.
Like, her powers aren't just
315
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,280
these tiny little fireworks and
stuff.
316
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,360
She can do a lot more with that,
and she actually does it in this
317
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,280
episode, and I love that.
I love it when they show.
318
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,920
Jubilee isn't just some kid that
does sparklers from her fingers.
319
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,360
She's a badass.
Yeah, and what Obsessa really
320
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,040
illustrates for us is that it's
not only coming from her hands,
321
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,160
right?
Is that she uses these
322
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,480
projectiles to almost as skates,
right?
323
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,160
She can fly across the floor
with them, and then she, even
324
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,800
from her hands, changes them
into buzz saws of light that can
325
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,800
cut through things.
It's pretty badass.
326
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,320
Yeah.
And having Allison Court come
327
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,520
back to voice the older version,
who is the original voice actor
328
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,560
for Jubilee, is amazing.
And they actually like, so you
329
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,360
know, Allison Court specifically
said, like I I'm not Asian
330
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,840
American.
Somebody that is Asian American
331
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,960
should voice the character.
But I still like that they gave
332
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,880
her that little tiny moment of
like, thank you for doing this.
333
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,080
That's really cool.
Yeah, it was, really.
334
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Cool.
So much care.
335
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,360
The, the, and and the character
of abscissa, right.
336
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,440
Just also shows that growth.
It's.
337
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:37,800
So cool.
Yeah, I just.
338
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,000
Love her.
I like her chainmail.
339
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,680
Her like pointy fingers.
What has she been through in
340
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,680
this video game in this world of
circuits?
341
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,320
Countless, countless beta
testing.
342
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,440
Yes, I also wanted to bring up
Spiral.
343
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,800
Yeah, she's cool.
Right.
344
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,320
So a couple of episodes ago, we
were like, oh, who did Morph
345
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,440
turn into the person with all
the arms?
346
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,760
Forgot her name?
So it turns out it's Spiral.
347
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,640
And so Spiral is interesting.
You know, in the mojo verse,
348
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,720
Mojo has all these slaves,
right?
349
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,520
And Spiral is one of them.
And so she's still working for
350
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,880
him.
She's helping to try and stop
351
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,119
the hacker who we later learn is
Obsessa.
352
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,560
But at the end of the episode,
it almost seems like she is one
353
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,280
of the people who helps defeat
Mojo.
354
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,480
In that moment, she kind of
appears behind him and like
355
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,920
pushes his head down.
Well, yeah, he's defeated.
356
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,000
Yeah, she's a slave.
So.
357
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:28,840
Yeah, yeah.
So like she kind of gets the
358
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,680
upper hand in this situation,
but you know, in in reading
359
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,280
about her, she actually ends up
joining a group with Madeleine
360
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,040
Pryor.
So this is something
361
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,240
interesting, you know, are they
going to maybe lean towards
362
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,040
that?
Will we see more of Spiral and
363
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,280
and Madeleine?
That's where this show could
364
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,360
really go anywhere, because
there's a lot of storylines
365
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:48,360
where like there's not some
characters in it and they do
366
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:51,280
show us some stuff, right?
And then the next part of this
367
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,480
episode, Forge you see on the
board or something like that,
368
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,960
you see The X Factor team and it
has like Wolfsbane and multiple
369
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,560
man and all of them.
And it's like, are we going to
370
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,600
see any of these people?
Maybe?
371
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,160
I'm very excited to see if
anything like that happens,
372
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,200
yeah.
I am as well, and and I love
373
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,560
seeing those little Easter eggs
in the background and you can
374
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,120
see, oh, Polaris and Wolfsbane,
you know, and and seeing their
375
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:15,600
lives prior to this moment and
that they have existed, right.
376
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,600
They're fleshing out these
characters a little more.
377
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,480
And of course, you know at the
end of this entire first part,
378
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,640
we get the smooch.
The smooch?
379
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,360
I didn't expect that to be
honest.
380
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:29,640
I like, I mean, there were some
moments where I, I guess I was
381
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,080
just assuming like, oh, they're
developing a good friendship.
382
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,640
And then when they smooched, I
was like, oh, they like like
383
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,640
like each other.
Happy 18th birthday.
384
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,440
I'm fine with that.
Like, Jubilee, have a love life,
385
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,680
you know?
Yeah, I mean, I hope it all goes
386
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,320
well and there's not like some
breakup that, like, makes them
387
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,280
leave the team.
But like, I'm rooting for them.
388
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,640
I think they're cool.
I agree.
389
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,520
And again, I I feel like I'm,
I'm, I'm beating a dead horse
390
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,240
here in a sense.
But I think we again are
391
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,480
solidifying Jubilee as a hero
and not a kid anymore, right?
392
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,760
So giving her a love interest,
giving her an evolution of her
393
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,160
powers, this is all just saying
she's not just the kid of the
394
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,680
team anymore, she's now a
full-fledged X-Men.
395
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaking of full-fledged X-Men,
should we go on to life death?
396
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:21,000
Life, death and horses.
I was like, what horses?
397
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,160
Oh, that's right.
Hello.
398
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,800
They ride horses.
So she could feel the wind.
399
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,400
Yeah.
So life death is an interesting
400
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,400
one.
It's very quiet.
401
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,560
I loved it because it got gave
Storm a little bit more
402
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,520
breathing room and some
playground to work with,
403
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,080
especially the voice actor, the
voices Storm voiced the
404
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,000
adversary at the end.
So it's like a cool double like
405
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,360
oh, she got to like not just I'm
mistress of the element, she got
406
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:51,000
to be creepy and scary loved it.
I from like Chris Claremont's
407
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,120
story being part of a bigger
story.
408
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:54,360
There's a whole story arc with
this.
409
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,720
I felt like it was very rushed.
Did I like it?
410
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,640
Yes.
You know, I think it's a very
411
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,280
much Cliff Notes version of this
story.
412
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,840
But I think I can't really be
like, it's not that great until
413
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,120
I see the second part, right.
I really want to see how they're
414
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:13,000
going to round this out and to
see where it goes.
415
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,960
But I liked it.
I I liked it as well.
416
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,200
I think what's hard to sort of
digest in this situation is that
417
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,320
in the last episode, Storm has
met Forge for the first time.
418
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,960
We don't know how much time has
passed.
419
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,240
A day.
Right.
420
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,880
That's what it feels like.
It feels like it hasn't been
421
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,160
that much time.
And for them to create such a
422
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,040
strong bond for him, to profess
his love for her, it feels like,
423
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,960
wow, we missed a lot.
Yeah, I I want to say maybe it's
424
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,400
just like we have to assume time
had passed a little bit because
425
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,560
when he does tell her that he
loves her, she's bringing food
426
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,040
down.
So, like, she's comfortable
427
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,440
enough to cook and maybe cook
his father's bison Stew.
428
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,240
I don't know.
Like, I it's very hard to tell
429
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,560
how much time has passed by.
And I think it is a little
430
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,640
confusing because I think what
you had said when we first
431
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,840
watched it was, oh, she's still
on the machine whenever the
432
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,400
Adversary came out because it
did seem a little psychedelic
433
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:14,040
and like, what is happening.
No, I don't think she is, only
434
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,880
because the Adversary is an
actual thing.
435
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,000
But I can see why you would have
thought that you know it because
436
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,880
it's so quick and there's no
like, transition time.
437
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,720
I do think that there's
something more meta going on.
438
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,400
I don't.
So I do think maybe if she's not
439
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:34,000
in the machine, maybe she fell
out of the machine and she's in
440
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,960
some sort of coma or something
like that.
441
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,920
Because the fact that the person
who voices Storm also voices the
442
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,320
adversary, right?
That's telling us that this is
443
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,760
an inner demon that she's
fighting.
444
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,240
Whatever this is, that's
stopping her from accessing her
445
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,840
powers is still has a hold on
her.
446
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,000
And the fact that, you know, she
came crashing through the roof
447
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,880
and it started to rain and then
the roof closed itself, so.
448
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:00,840
Well, this is where it gets like
kind of interesting because the
449
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,480
adversary is an actual demon
that's like a manifestation of
450
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,400
forges, like cultural heritage.
He like they came about because
451
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:13,840
he used these abilities to fight
in the Vietnam War and that
452
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,560
demon kind of came about and so
he thought we got rid of it.
453
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,080
But it's still around.
This is like a whole part of the
454
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,680
story.
So it's going to be interesting
455
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,680
to see how they do the adversary
here.
456
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,200
And if you know, the Adversary
could be there, but it's just in
457
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,720
her mind, which also is scary
because Ford can't see it.
458
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,680
So that's it's going to be
interesting to see like what is
459
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,920
real and what isn't, like what
is actually happening.
460
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,000
And so maybe, if it is in her
mind, right, that him professing
461
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,240
her love out of nowhere is just
her feeling they're attracted to
462
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,040
each other and it being
expounded upon in her mind.
463
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,280
I'm not saying it's not going to
happen.
464
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,960
No, it has to happen.
I'm saying it is going to
465
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,800
happen.
I'm just saying in her mind,
466
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,760
she's like, maybe you.
Know one of the things that like
467
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,640
I always thought.
I thought it was funny that
468
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,000
Storm and Gambit had the same
hair a little bit.
469
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,960
And like her changing her
appearance is like a huge part
470
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,760
of her, her story and her
character.
471
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,360
And this is kind of one of those
big character moments.
472
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:14,120
I feel like I wish they would
have, like, had her change her
473
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:17,480
appearance in this instance,
like after like Forge found her
474
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,760
and everything and she's getting
back to her and she needs to,
475
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,200
you know, that's like a minor.
Critique fully transformed.
476
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,040
Exactly because it was a.
It's a little interesting when
477
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:31,040
it's like she has the Mullet
Hawk, that's what I want to call
478
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,040
it, but she has the original
outfit, so it's like.
479
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,160
So do you think we'll get a new
outfit?
480
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,040
Maybe it'd be nice, you know?
Because there's a whole, like,
481
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,440
punk storm story that I'm hoping
we get.
482
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,560
I would not like, wouldn't it be
so cool?
483
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,800
And maybe this does exist, but I
would love to see an entire team
484
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,400
of punk, right?
So, like, punk, storm, spider
485
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,440
punk.
Kind of like.
486
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,160
I mean, just watch the 2000s
X-Men where they all wear
487
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,240
leather and not the actual
costumes.
488
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,800
Oh oh oh.
I thought you meant X-Men
489
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,480
Evolution.
No, I was going to start
490
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,520
dancing.
No.
491
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,080
So in the one of the interesting
things that does happen in this
492
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,720
is it's a little abrupt, but
Forge tells her that he's the
493
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,560
one that pretty much made the
weapon that took her powers
494
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,200
away.
And that's also one of the
495
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,560
reasons that motivated him to,
like, help her, yeah.
496
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,120
I like that.
She's like, why are you so
497
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:23,440
obsessed with me?
He's like, well, I'm sorry.
498
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,480
He's like, I made the plans, but
like, I left and she's like you
499
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,440
still.
Did it.
500
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,800
He was some guy in Scotland.
What do you want from me, Storm?
501
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,360
I mean, I I like the dynamic,
right?
502
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:36,920
And I like the story they're
trying to tell.
503
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,000
I want more of it, right?
And I think an important thing
504
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,320
because Storm is that character.
She is that Omega level threat.
505
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,120
She is a beloved character.
So to see her so down is
506
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,480
jarring, but I think helps with
the character and does humanize
507
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,560
her a little bit, or mutinize
her or she's a human now, I
508
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,360
don't know.
No go with.
509
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,600
It so I'm curious to see where
this goes.
510
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,200
You know, I don't think we have
Part 2 next week it UN stuff and
511
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,280
then Part 2.
So we have a little bit to wait.
512
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,480
Yeah, I I I agree with you in
the sense that I am like a
513
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,480
little perturbed that here we
are, you know, almost you know,
514
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,000
20 years later or or we are like
20 years later.
515
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,880
And they're making sure we stick
around.
516
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Right.
It's like, give me more Storm,
517
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,720
man.
I had like 1-2 episodes of her
518
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,120
being amazing and now I have,
you know, an eighth of an
519
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:33,640
episode of her, you know,
fighting an owl or whatever.
520
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,200
I also like when they were
riding horses that like she's
521
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,760
trying to beat him, and Forge
just didn't tell her there was a
522
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,920
Cliff.
He's like, keep going, lady,
523
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,600
keep going.
He's like, you think that's
524
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,280
fast?
Wait until you fall off the
525
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,800
Cliff.
All right.
526
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,440
So I guess to wrap it up, yeah.
You know any final thoughts?
527
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,160
Any?
I I'm, you know, I'm perfectly
528
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,640
happy with the episode.
I feel like it can only go up
529
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,880
from here.
We're really having some of
530
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,520
these characters dig deep, find
out who they truly are and I'm
531
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,080
sure there's going to be a bad
ass fight at the end of the
532
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,680
season where we really get to
see them.
533
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,080
RIP Yeah, like die.
No RIP rip it up.
534
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,440
Isn't that what?
Oh, like RIP.
535
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,160
Yeah, but isn't that what they
say in the Bear?
536
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,840
Like rip it up.
I don't know, cousin.
537
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,120
I think so.
Anyway, yeah.
538
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:31,400
I mean, I, you know, I feel like
the first three episodes very
539
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,920
high.
This one is just like, I think
540
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,520
from like a criticals
perspective.
541
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,280
It's like this is interesting
decisions still fantastic and
542
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,880
it's.
We got a fluff, a Nutter and a
543
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,280
ham sandwich all right.
Yeah, exactly like I I I think
544
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,920
it was an interesting way to do
it.
545
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,280
But you know, I'm who am I to
say I don't make this stuff?
546
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,160
I know it's hard.
I I mean, this is we are us to
547
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,520
say it.
So that's our thought.
548
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,160
Yeah, so let us know what you
thought.
549
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Yeah.
Next week we have two episodes
550
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,560
coming.
Fallout and X-Men 97, Episode
551
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,880
45.
I'm so confused with these.
552
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,880
There's too many numbers going
on my back.
553
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,080
Hurts.
I want to lay down.
554
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,800
You got it.
We we made it through.
555
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,160
We hated the episode.
And that's yeah, I'm kidding.
556
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,400
I'm kidding.
We did not.
557
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,840
We didn't.
I'm saying that now we didn't no
558
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,480
the.
Reason I hate the episode is now
559
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,080
all I'm going to be thinking
about is a $500 X-Men video game
560
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,040
arcade cabinet.
So.
561
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,920
We'll put it down in the
description in case you want to
562
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,120
buy it.
Yeah, yeah.
563
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:31,960
Let us know.
And then do you love it?
564
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,120
Invite us over so we can play it
party, because we're not buying
565
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,640

00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,120

Separate goal $500 to.

The Nan and do it.
Do it.
568

All right.
Oh, till next week.
569
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,160
Bye.
