Magic Spoon with some almond milk on keto has made the perfect afternoon snack while I keep dropping weight.
@@clipchamprazor3912 They are the BEST!
Thanks for keeping a level head about this culture shyt. Both sides of argument tend to get out of control.
some advice, Sneider has several successes but also mistakes (he denies when you remind him of them), so be careful about blindly trusting each scoop
Silver Surfer is my favorite marvel character and Norrin Rad deserves a whole movie his story is so fucking good
It will be as a women lol
@@metalgearstud1 there isnt as a woman..theres a male and female surfer...
@@metalgearstud1 no she’s playing a different character that becomes the surfer
@@kovy4win we will see
Facts
If even Pedro Pascal, universally beloved actor that is unanimously recognized as an extraordinary talent, can't get a role without people questioning whether he earned it or if it was a diversity hire there's no hope left for any of us
I am not a fan of the Pedro Pascal casting. To me it just seems like a lazy casting choice. Like they thought "we have this guy on so many other franchises already, let's just put him in the MCU too. I am sure the fans will love it."
@@MarkStark-dx9dm Sure, and that's fair. But you're not calling him a diversity hire when you say that. You're saying they hired him because he's everywhere so they used him here too. Which isn't the same thing as saying he got it because he's brown
CONSIDERATION: Character Iconography. This aspect seems to be missing from a decent amount of race/gender bending conversations. As a branding professional and storyteller, the way in which a character or IP is introduced to the public creates an ‘Imprint’ that sticks with the public, and the elements that make up the whole become part of the iconography of that character or IP. Example, a super-muscular Professor X, a blonde Little Mermaid, a balding Superman, an all European cast for an Avatar The Last Airbender adaptation, Mario without a mustache, etc. Some variation can be great, too much variation can quickly become off brand.
Professor X is ripped and can walk in the current comics. It's weird.
@@killah_disciple1Oh really. Wow. I’m a couple years out of the loop on my X-Men collecting.
Very curious why they wouldn’t begin with Norrin Radd character since it’s most common iteration and Fantastic Four is suppose to be in the 60s and her version isn’t seen till much later.
Curious? Woke and M She U, thats why. Its not rocket science.
Because the movie is taking place in a different universe
Because Norrin isn't a strong wahmen
You know EXACTLY why. Don't play dumb.
@@awkmoh2758 Thats not why they made this casting. They made it cause Disney casts based on race and sex, and nothing else. They are woke, and they have admitted that multiple times.
Silver Surfer is one of my favorite characters. Silver Surfer Black is my favorite comic run ever.
But she's not Norrin. Different character. Another character that has been around for over 40 years. A love interest of Norrin. And it sounds like she's from another universe. And not our 616 Silver Surfer. And even if not, she's a different character. Simple as that. Let's judge it based on who she is playing and wait to judge.
i think mcu has just lost the good will of the fanbase because the fanbase people don't want to admit it the majority does not want the girl surfer they want the og they don't want the movie the marvels there fanbase it not built with people that like these choices and if they want to go down this way with there films from now on then they need to cut the budgets in half and then cut it again
Your giving Disney WAY to much credit. You will NEVER see Norrins version in the MCU now. Honestly, people better be prepared for a horrid woke version of the Xmen too. It sure as hell isnt going to be Xmen 97.
Gender-swapping or "woke" is irrelevant at this point. Do you REALLY think this casting was wise considering Marvel's movies over the past few years??!!.... Lessons need to be learned. SMH...
@@gregantonio1 100% even if it was the "right thing to do" or the story they want to tell now all people will talk about is this no one will be talking about the movie and now people who just want watch the movie will have to do nothing but defend it and it will burn everyone on both sides out there decision should be how to we get everyone back especially there fanbase of phase 1-3
@@TheNichqwhat would make the X-men woke? 🤣🤣 it’s whole story is woke in your eyes
I agree w/ Winston too if this was Phase 1, 2, 3 you got a lot more leeway with me to trust that you're changing things for the betterment of the story or the movie overall. Things haven't been great lately so the more you veer away from the source materials that I know and am comfortable with the less excited/happy I am about it.
But yeah there's nothing about Surfer's story that dictates he's a dood. If I remember right Norin Radd did it for love of his planet and love of his wife there's no reason to not flip that to husband or wife or whatever. It really just comes down to lack of trust in the brand's decisions lately that makes me wary.
Well it is possible with unknown characters or secondary characters but not with one of the iconic classic characters especially for people that have grown up watching ff cartoon show and it's spin off series Silver surfer
@@brancorocks 100% agree, it works for probably tertiary and on characters cause even someone like Heimdall who I was hesitant when they race swaped him but Idris Elba did a killer job as him (shocker right lol). And I know people are quick to grab pitch forks when you say "Why can't you just give me the characters I grew up loving?" But I really don't get why people have issue with that? Like I like this character and this is how I remember him... i fyou want to do a what if story or something and spin some stuff go for it... but when we get adaptations I'd like them to err more on being close to the source material the flipping things... and like I said they had a lot more lee way when they were hitting em all outta the park. But now I don't trust their writing so I'd like them to lean more on the original source again.
@@Grimbear13 exactly my gripe right now with all the stuff that's been revealed with the leak of Disney documents it's been proved that they are garnering for ESU scores based of which they get high investments and tax breaks and during a time when none of their movies have worked at that time they decide to go with the least worked character cause remember they introduced her and she wasn't as well received as the OG surfer there has been stuff done with surfer after that like Silver surfer black where he gets to interact with the venom symbiote and stuff like even then nobody even though of including her character and now all of sudden they decide to make her one of the main characters of the movie even before they OG guy that started it all...I don't mind doing something out of the box but don't do it to iconic classic characters....like I'll even not mind a female doom but not as a character in the first movie but rather as a spin off character like there was cosmic interference or she is related to Vitor von doom in some way hell even a what if story I'm fine but not as a main universe story
@@brancorocks Yeah I have another thread I think on this video about the female Doom and someone immediately came at me saying "Oh is Doom a good character BECAUSE he's a man?!" and I was like no... but Doom is a good character WHO IS A MAN. So all of his feats and awesomeness yes I associate with a male character. Someone could come along and surprise me with a performance that nails the Doom vibe as a woman... but after 2 failed attempts at Victor Von Doom is it really too much to ask for a comic accurate Doom before we start messing with the formula? He's my favorite villain in anything full stop... just once I'd like to see a live action (Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes did an exceptional job with what little the character was in the show) version of him.
Shalla Bal is norin radd’s wife in the main universe. When he became galactus’ herald he was separated from her. Norin made that deal to keep her and his planet safe from being devoured by galactus.
And the F4 takes place in an alternate timeline. Maybe the one where Galactus is Franklin Richards.
Norrin rad is the silver surfer in the main marvel universe.
This is the new "Peter Parker is Spider-Man?" 😆
Well looks like he's not in the MCU 🤷🏿♂️
@@justin.channelsshe was silver surfer for 1 issue . 1. She isn’t silver surfer .
@@bctalkspodsays who? Apparently this F4 movie is taking place in an alternate universe.
You have a movie with him why aren't you watching that?
I will take that challenge so here we go: No problems with her playing Shalla Bal but I completely agree with Kristian that if this is the approach they take then Norin Radd should be introduced along-side her as well. Shalla Bal is Norin Radd’s soul-mate and they belong together despite the comics tragically and consistently splitting them up due to either physical/astral space or the duties of being Galactus’ Hearld (really surprised Coy didn’t mention any of this but perhaps he is not familiarized with the silver surfer runs in the comics). To do Shalla Bal without Norin Radd makes no sense to me and could ruin the opportunity to do Norin Radd’s story properly. Why risk the controversies and instead listen to the fans (don’t always do what the fans want but at least listen to the real ones).
Fantastic 4 going to suck ass dude first Pedro Pascal Mr fantastic suck ass now female silver surfer it’s definitely going to suck ass
The new X-men 97 was good
Craig Gillespie also has directed the Fright Night remake with Colin Farrell and Lars and the Real Girl with Ryan Gosling
That fright night is underrated, rip anton yelchin
Honestly when I saw she was cast I admittedly sort of whinced but now that I actually think about it and think about how great of an actress she is I'm less worried.
I watched Ozark from day 1 and waited for every single season and her Ruth character is fucking phenomenal. Everything about how she played that character was so perfect. I haven't watched her other series but again I hear she's fantastic in that as well.
So if she brings that level of professionalism and more important believability and commitment to the character then we may very well be in for a hell of a treat.
I refuse to have any sort of discourse that have anything relating to agenda's or straight up misogyny.
I want real discourse not any childish nonsense, I think she and the rest of the cast will absolutely bring their A games because let's not forget like the guys just said. This is Kevin's baby and our first potential soft reboot. Either way, im excited.
Norrin Radd is the only Silver Surfer in the main Marvel universe
I do wish comic book movies only ended with other characters making general cameos at an after credit scene. You know when Magnito showed he was getting his power back? Leading to curiosity and theory’s, not sequels. I remember A large fraction of the theater let out a gasp after X Men 3. Also, I don’t care how much hate the first two Fantastic Four movies get. I love them :)
I love the Blomkamp Blu-ray on the shelf. He’s one of my top directors 👍
Craig Gillespie directed the 2011 remake of Fright Night. A pleasant surprise of a remake with Colin Farrell.
The X-Men are the reason i collected comics and why i love this genre.
I can picture little Winston with a full snot bubble. 😂 That was a great story.
Hopefully they caste a female for Wolverine
You mean Wolverina 💅
Coy will defend it bc it’s in the comics.
He’ll assuredly defend Norman banging Gwen and Hank beating Janet as well, bc comics.
I get the point Kristian was making is basically make smarter promotional decisions at this point when the controversy is at an all time high instead of feeding the trolls.
I personally think this was [a misguided] attempt at cashing in on the actress's prestige right now; hinting people about Earth X to spark the debate from those in the know about Silver Surfer; and that [per Earth X] there were going to be two characters sporting the galactic glaze.
Marvel didn't read the room, sure, but I can easily see a setup like they described. That is, one alternate universe with Shalla is visually distinct from the 616 universe where Norrin is Galactus's herald, and ultimately he's getting his story told. Alternatively, Norrin deserted his station and Shalla convinced Galactus to take her as a replacement so he didn't chomp down on Zenn-La for spite and retribution. Galactus may have charged Shalla with hunting down her once true love, and in doing so now we have relatable, humanizing stakes to a story about the alien, semi-antagonistic side characters in the FF's flick.
I truly understand the frustrations and distrust in not getting the Norrin version announced, but if one considers that there may be a plan to the story that makes her involvement relevant.
Either way I suspect she was the bigger name more worthy of announcing than the Norrin Radd actor, or that he's an even bigger name they were saving for extra splash later, but that this just backfired because of the climate.
Selfishly I've always wanted The Silver Surfer to be a Polynesian Actor/Actress. I loved Marvel my whole life, there isn't really a lot of great representation in the comics besides Black Tom Cassidy, Loa, & Mondo. (Not the coolest of names). It maybe a stretch but for me I found representation in Silver Surfer because he surfed - which has Polynesian roots and some might consider the sport of surfing synonymous with Polynesia. Fingers crossed that Norrin Radd can still be portrayed by a performer with Oceanic roots but if not then no worries. Best of luck to the talent involved.
I was about to say that I hadn't seen much negative discourse regarding Julia Garner's casting, outside of the usual channels --- and then I looked at the comments here. lol
Bring it on! Julia is a phenomenal actress.... it's the writing that worries me. Hopefully they don't waste her talent.
She is, which is why she should stay FAR away from this role. Its going to end up ruining her career imo after this movie bombs.
@@haunted_autumn Prob true. The thing is, people havent been showing up to Disney Marvel since things really started to go down the woke path. Making this decision to cast her was just a bad decision if they were trying to bring fans back into the seats. The MCU cant afford any bad press at this point.
I literally watched Cruella at least 3 times because the story flows great, love the characters and the color pallet is so lovely to look at.
Disney did not buy 20th Century Fox just for the X-Men and Fantastic 4. It would completely irresponsible to spend that much money just for small piece of that whole company. If they were just interested in buying those rights, they would just have made an offer for those specific rights for a much lower price. They bought 20th Century Fox for their entire catalog of movies and TV shows which Disney wanted for Disney+...
14:23 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I do think about that when it comes to Reeds powers. They even made a joke about it in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Whatever happened to the rumor of Adam Driver being the first actor that was chosen to be Reed Richards and he said no. Sneider was the one who brought up that Adam Driver rumor too.
Love all the Punisher set photos. I like that he keeps getting the 💩 kicked out of him and he keeps going. I hope he’s in a lot of the new Daredevil series!
This was a great discussion. In the end we just have to wait for the final product
You don’t need to change characters just portray them as they were written that’s what we love that being said Julia garner is an amazing actress and for this version of silver surfer I think she’ll be great
For me as a MCU fan, I just want a well crafted story, I don’t care about known actors….I didn’t like having known actors play well known superhero characters, I would prefer unknown actors and put the money into making an amazing film
I'm surprised they didn't go with Norrin because he's kinda the iconic version of Surfer, excited we're getting a surfer nonetheless
As a longtime Fantastic Four fan, and a Jonathan Hickman enthusiast, this casting is exciting - I cant' wait to see what Matt is cooking up with this film!
Stop the bs
@@JBurnz001 what bs? you trolls are interesting, I hope you enjoy the film!
If i wanted to try pepperoni pizza for the first time, give me the original FIRST, before you serve me customized variations. Especially if you are going out of business for not even starting from the basics. The CORE Silver Surfer is a male Norrin Radd. Give people the original FIRST. WTF are they thinking by announcing this, even if its a red herring?
My biggest pushback to "just get the X-Men!!!" is it goes against Kristian's prior stance of "wait until you have a story!" "Stop doing things no one cares about!" No one cared about who the Guardians were (until they put on the mask) but the story and filmmaker were both strong so it excelled accordingly. So then you get to the X-Men, then what, for the next decade +, while you currently have Shang-Chi, Falcon, Ms. Marvel & company sitting in limbo? The X-Men can carry you for nearly 2 decades but still. There's still plenty of time before break glass.
Good points and I loved that Bane reference (put on the mask) lol
Longtime F4 fans are winning, glad to be on top of the game.
I love it bit the problem. IS "let's make all the characters female now" them saying that's not the narrative...but then doing stuff like this KNOWING what the conversation is going to be.
Thanks for the show guys!
Yep, I definitely think down the line, there will be a Marvel DC crossover, and it would be great if they even look at the comics crossover like Batman Spiderman crossover comics ( two of them) one of it was written by JM Dematteis.
Also, as long as the casting and genderbending serves narrative purposes, and introduce Rad as the main Silver surfer in MCU, I'm all in for Julia's performance
I like the idea of Cavill as Doom or magneto... I saw godzilla x kong on Tuesday, and man was that a fun movie
I think that I pretty much agree with what the crew has to say here about the Silver Surfer casting. I am a huge fan of the classic Silver Surfer, so my own dislike of this choice is purely in my desire to see the character I loved in the comics brought to life the way I had always imagined him. Despite being a bad movie, the FF sequel got the character design and voice done exactly how it felt to me when reading the comics, so I always hoped they'd go in that direction in an MCU adaptation. HOWEVER, I understand this is a really good actress. While I would be a little bummed if they don't do the version of Silver Surfers that I grew up loving... If the actress and the writing are great, I can't complain. At the end of the day, I do want Marvel Studios to make good movies. So, I'm not gonna be angry about this at all. And if they drop the ball and this is terrible... I'll be a little bummed that a piece of entertainment didn't work for me. Which is not the end of the world. It's all a wait and see thing right now.
Well said.
33:30 Look at Coy with the sports reference!
😎👍 great show, great team as usual!
I was hoping that Julia Garner would join the DCU as the new Harley Quinn.
That would be perfect casting
Now that makes more sense
Gunn is keeping Margot
That's a great casting idea!!!
That would be a perfect casting
With the castings of Pedro Pascal, this one and multiverse shenanigans I really hope they have some great writers for this movies, because otherwise this seems to be another dud in the making.
Great theory Coy has about this female Silver Surfer in a multiverse.
Yea, except that is giving Disney too much credit. Everyone knows damn well that Norrin will never been seen in the MCU now.
@@TheNichq And how do you know?
Saw the casting, knew this is how people would react.
I just wish the people claiming “I’m done with Marvel” would actually stand by what they say instead of commenting on every new story reminding us:
“I don’t care about the MCU”.
Cool, you’re allowed to not like stuff. Just leave instead of thriving in the negativity.
Did you watch the box office in 2023? We are done with the MCU. 95% of Disneys movies last year lost money, and they lost BIG money. I mean, if Disney wants to keep losing money, then this Silver Surfer casting was a good decision.
@@TheNichq… are you replying to every comment?
Umm if you haven’t noticed. Marvels numbers have been bad. That would mean people are actually standing on what they say.
@@scottelementare you clicking on every comments replies?
@@JBurnz001yeah, my comment was never about the performance of their movies or the box offices… I’m talking about online discourse
Man I'm so excited for Daredevil born again. I was holding out hope that Punisher and the rest of the crew would return!
Dude, wanna get ready for some Colin Farrel ahead of Penguin? Watch Sugar!
Not sure if I’m more excited seeing this drop on Thursday, or for your wrestle mania special tomorrow 😀
Great discussion here today. The Fantastic Four casting is so odd to me. But I'll watch it and I'm eager to see a trailer.
Hey kristian did u ever release that cartoon ur were making?
Coy with the insane comedic timing with the stretching joke 😂
I love the director's choice for Supergirl. Hope he gets the job and proves everyone wrong.
100000000% agree with Kristian on the Silver Surfer and all Fantastic 4 casting. How were these roles decided behind the scenes? makes all the difference in the world.
I was so pumped to see the news about Gillespie directing Supergirl! I just started to actually read comics and Woman of Tomorrow is what I read first and so far is still my favorite. I’ve loved pretty much all of Gillespie’s work so far and think he’s a great fit for the movie and will get a great performance from Alcock!
It’s funny when Kristian says just “show a little…” I know he means show some class but when you just shorten it to show a little. I wonder what a first time listener thinks he means that doesn’t know the full quote. Sorry random thought. Love the show. I miss the boom studios recommendations
Honestly such a great show today. Loved the news we’ve gotten.
They could’ve easily just used Frankie Raye Nova and avoided almost all criticism.
Said this elsewhere to a similar comment (apologies if that was also you), but using Frankie Raye would not have avoided most of the criticism because all it takes is the first hater to say, "Why are they skipping the most iconic herald just to get to the wahmun herald by using Frankie Raye? It's an agenda because they skipped Norrin, Terrax, Fire-Lord, Airwalker, etc. just to get to her!!! Duhhhrrrr!"
It is a fair critique to say the timing isn't good for announcing her now in this climate and less trust in their quality, but it's also always true that people are out there that live to complain.
I’m all for it! Playing Atomic Heart made be simp for chrome girls.
Great discussion here. Solid. Balanced.
Stop cutting each other off 😂
All good points. We just have to wait and see concerning fantastic 4. But keep in mind they used the original silver surfer before. I like the change up
Coy is too emotional about twitter shyt to have a level head about this. Kristian is correct that you can’t just label someone a misogynist for wanting Norrin Rad. Coy will gleefully assume you are tho, for sure.
May the best person win the job! It could be a damn green alien come down and pitch the best superman movie ever. Hes hired !
I will try to comment on the female Silver Surfer issue without sounding like a hater.
The Fantastic Four are generally known as Marvel's First Family and many MCU fans have been looking very much forward to this movie. I think we can agree on that.
Now if Disney's MCU movies have been making less than they used to, and Disney are now producing one of the two movies that simply cannot be allowed to fail, the other one being X-Men, I simply don't understand why they take chances like this. They must know that casting a female Silver Surfer (and yes she is a canon character that first appeared in 1968) is risky and risks causing the movie to make less money that it otherwise would have.
I don't hate it. I just don't understand it.
A measured response amid the madness. I'm with you.
Honestly for me between Invincible and Shogun I'm team Invincible 100% of the time. I've enjoyed Shogun but it's not hitting me the way a lot of people online seem to be LOVING it. Meanwhile this episode of Invincible was INCREDIBLE now I'm just sad I have to wait however long for S3.
I think it all depends on if the character is written well…and the performance. She’s a great actress, but do you guys have hope for the writing? (Not sure who’s writing script)
Have they said anywhere that Norrin Radd is not in in the film? I'd laugh if they announce him Monday after people discuss this all weekend.
They’re clearly doing Franklin richards as galactus. The female silver surfer is his hearld and with the rumours Javier bardem as galactus who also is Hispanic like Pedro pascal they clearly want to adapt some of earth x. And I believe we will see norra Rand silver surfer in the movie as well and the original galactus due to the rumour of dual timelines
Yoo they should cast Victoria Von Doom lol
Craig Gillepsie is a great actors director. with a right script he will make a good movie. He has a high floor, which is what DC needs right now. They just need to release good movies. He is going to get great performances from his actors, he is going to make the movie on budget and on time. Its a great pick
Re:X-Men news. I don't give as much credibility to this "report" beyond it being a pretty safe guess to make. While I'm sure the sheer library of Fox was the bigger decider, I agree the X-Men IP was a big decider for Disney to make the purchase. It's not hard to deduce that it's around now they'd be looking to roll out X-Men films.
I think either way they needed succession plans for actors who would be phasing out soon, so planting mutants all across the MCU titles makes sense, not just having a core X-Men flick. This is also a better way to spin a small group off into a Disney+ series in a less expensive corner that doesn't directly influence or depend on what transpires in the movies.
*Storm led X-Men Gold Team* - theatrical
*Wolverine & X-Force* - mature theatrical corner
*Cyke & Jean led X-Men Blue Team* - Disney+ series stranded in a dimensional rift, operating out of another country, or even on another planet (as long as whatever location doesn't demand some massive budget)
I think F4 will end with them getting into the MCU and they’ll see Norrin Radd Silver Surfer as their “we’re not in Kansas anymore” moment. And it’ll be a chance for Marvel to do what they did in the Eternals with Harry Styles. They’ll cast a big name like Glenn Powell or Efron (idk much about Radd, just throwing out names that would generate a big pop) as the Silver Surfer and hopefully bring him into Secret Wars
Great show
End of the day, let's just see how it goes. Whether there's two Silver Surfers or she ends up being the only one, we still gotta see how that story pans out. General audiences aren't even all that 100% familiar with the character, maybe outside the Laurence Fishburne character in "Rise of the Silver Surfer." Honestly, I'm fine with it. She has been a Silver Surfer in another universe in the comics. I just hate the discourse because nuance will be lost. I get the whole thing about "wanting to rebuild" in the face of bad press and poor box office performance. But in that sense, you're once again catering to voices that are honestly just basic and spiteful at the most surface level. And if you don't like the multiverse, well... tough. We're amidst the Multiverse Saga. That's what it's called, and it's honestly how we're getting these new iterations of the X-Men and the F4 without disrupting the established continuity of the sacred timeline. No point in pivoting from that. They just gotta make it work with their current projects like a "Loki", and even "The Marvels" where it's digestable, easy to understand, and hits on both a story and emotional point.
I’m just about to start on F4... so excited.
I'm excited that Daredevil: Born Again is bringing the band back together!
I'm not worried about the casting, I'm worried about the story-telling we will see on screen. If the MCU doesn't deliver an EPIC film with the new F4, my already fragile confidence with Marvel films might just break beyond repair.
I really hope that this Fantastic 4 movie is fantastic I really enjoyed the Tim Story movies for what they were, but I really do hope that Marvel Studios delivers on this one because we need a great Fantastic 4 movie it's what we are craving for with that being said I hope that the Silver Surfer has a great story and I wouldn't mind if we get an origin about the Silver Surfer I'm all for a female Silver Surfer and save Norin Radd for later projects I hope we get a fantastic story for this movie. I really hope that the Punisher is as awesome as he was I'm so happy that Disney is keeping Punishers skull logo that's awesome I really do think that we are going to get Norin Radd the true Silver Surfer maybe as a post credit scene I think that we are going to get an X-men movie I would say probably after Secret Wars.
Rumor of Superman fighting Ultraman. Hope bot true and it's Brainiac unless saving for Supergirl or a Superman & Supergirl team film where both fight Brainiac?
Coy & Winston on a Thursday? Did I fall into a time warp?
Phase 4 is marvel first gender diversity and cultural diversity base phase. I don’t think that’s the reason phase 4 and 5 wasn’t great but it’s different from phase 1 and 2 and 3
the selective memory of how mid phase one is exhausting.
@@Mxy agree take out iron man 1 and the Incredible Hulk it’s a mid phase
Iron Man and Avengers are still top-quality MCU.
I'm very ok with it. She's a great actress, and we're talking about an intergalactic character who I feel is above all our petty issues on Earth. I do hope we Norrin Radd in the MCU at some point, absolutely. I just hope we get a good FF story.
I wanted to see her cast as Rogue
P.S. [WHILE WATCHING] It might be a creative way to allow Norrin Radd to lose Shalla Bal. She could be the hero/villain of this '60s film and Norrin would come to the present with the FF.
14:15 Out of pocket move by Coy lmao
14:09 Coy - for the W - haha
Good show!
Today is my birthday!!! Looking forward to listening to this episode of the big thing.
Happy birthday dude.
I realized I've been seeing your content frequently, Christian, and enjoying it, so I finally subscribed. You've got me. 🎉
Watched the new Hulu movie with Jessica Henwick which is why it caught my attention honestly, but I didn't watch Ozark was waiting for the hype to die down, but long story long Julia Garner is in the film and I'd be the first thing I've seen her in can give me a gage if she can act. She can, but that movie is bad, feels like half of it was cut out, hate watching bad films so I'm trying to save people. Ana Taylor Joy has the other worldly look to her where that would have worked hopefully she can do the same always gonna give the benefit of the doubt.

*BOOM*
The issue with this Surfer casting is Marvel's interest in changing characters or emphasizing the wrong ones is hurting the brand. These actions are just not working. The box office just keeps dropping and these stories aren't hitting as hard.
The best person for the job, think The Hurt locker directed by Kathryn Bigelow.
Sue Richards is Elastigirl #useful
Disney is high on crack at this point when it comes to their decision making.
I am excited about the MCU X-Men but I need Marvel to right the ship before doing anything with these characters
I won't watch this with a female silver surfer. This nonsense needs to be stopped.
This trend among modern feminists where they imbue every show or movie with misandry, which has become a problem for fantasy and sci-fi fans like me. What's worse is that if we comment on it, we're often called misogynists. This needs to stop.
It's also extremely hypocritical and devious of them. They've become the very thing they hated in men. Stories used to have great women and men as characters, but now we see an all-woman casting and a repeating theme of demeaning men. True equality would equally represent both males and females, not just one or the other. This is creating more cultural problems than it's solving.
I think Hollywood needs to stop lazily shoving their hypocritical political beliefs into their productions. It breaks the immersion and creates more division and culture wars. Good writers with skill and care can create uplifting stories that have great plots, world-building, and character development. This is just fan fiction with surface-level writing that uses virtue signaling to attack anyone who critiques it.
One of my earliest memories is reading a Fantastic Four comic, and thinking “wouldn’t it be amazing if one day they were able to turn this into a movie?”.
That was in the early 90s. Now it’s 2024 and comic book movies are the biggest thing in entertainment. I’ve literally been waiting my whole life for a good FF movie. I hope this is the one 🤞
I'm indifferent to Julia Garner playing Silver Surfer. All I know about that character or any version of it is what I saw in F4 2 in the Foxverse and I wasn't too impressed, but I'll keep an open mind. With Punisher, those photos look very promising. Jon Bernthal coming back has already confirmed the character and the new season of Daredevil won't be watered down. Who knows when we'll be getting that new X-Men movie, though. I'm all for us getting it sooner if it doesn't negatively affect the quality of it. And Craig Gillespie directing Supergirl is a good choice. I like his movies, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with this one.
