When considering some of the greatest rogues' galleries in comic books, you might automatically think of heroes like the Caped Crusader from Gotham or your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. However, what about Captain America's rogues' gallery? It includes iconic villains such as Baron Zemo, Arnim Zola, the Red Skull, and even Batroc the Leaper. In this episode, Mari, Brandon, and Bryce review a list of the Top 10 Villains of Captain America from CBR.com and discuss whether they agree or disagree with the rankings.What are your thoughts regarding Captain America's Rogue Gallery?

My name is Al, (0:00:36) Kev: My name is Kevin, one of us is in the US, the other is not. (0:00:41) Al: and we’re here today to talk about Cottagecore Games! (0:00:45) Kev: Woohoo! Yes! (0:00:49) Al: I feel like we can’t start the episode without kind of referencing what has happened. We are recording on the 10th of November, five days after a certain election in America. (0:00:59) Al: I’m going to go ahead and close the poll. (0:01:01) Al: I don’t want… (0:01:01) Kev: I didn’t get my birthday wish, rather rude of them. (0:01:02) Al: Yeah, I learned that you have the same birthday as my younger son. (0:01:10) Al: Isn’t that weird? (0:01:10) Kev: yeah happy birthday Craig right that’s Craig yeah (0:01:13) Al: How’s it taking… (0:01:14) Al: How’s it taking… (0:01:15) Al: Yeah, Craig. (0:01:16) Al: How’s it taking six years for us to notice this? (0:01:17) Kev: ah I don’t know man like well I mean okay I try to keep mine on the down-low because I’m torn about it cuz you know obviously it’s nice for people to notice but I also feel like narcissists love you know coming out with the little air horn so I know I’m torn in minutes so I generally don’t bring (0:01:19) Al: Weird. (0:01:38) Al: I don’t think it’s narcissistic to have a birthday and celebrate it. (0:01:40) Kev: too much attention to it (0:01:45) Kev: you’re right no you’re absolutely right I’m I am aware I am the issue and I mean oh boy is it so I I was actually so okay I do therapy and I do it on Tuesdays which happened to be my birthday but I was sick that day so I didn’t do therapy either so you (0:01:53) Al: This feels like something to unpack in therapy, just a thought. (0:02:07) Al: Oh no, oh no, yeah, I was going to say this week’s going to have a lot to talk about. (0:02:10) Kev: know there’ll be plenty to unpack this this there this Tuesday Oh boy. (0:02:20) Al: So yeah, I don’t want this to become a politics podcast, we’re not going to spend time talking about the election and I seriously considered it, but we’ll see, we’ll see if you can convince me after this recording. (0:02:26) Kev: That’s what the green house is for! (0:02:37) Al: I thought it was important to at least, you know, reference it so that it’s not like - I always feel weird when there’s something major that happens and we don’t at least reference it because it feels like the entire podcast is just a place that doesn’t exist. So I kind of - I want the podcast to be escapism, so we’re not going to be like talking about it a lot, but I just wanted to mention and remind people that this is a safe place for you. We are inclusive of everyone that [chuckling] (0:03:07) Al: - The upcoming president is not inclusive of. (0:03:12) Al: Yeah, and if you are anti-LGBTQ (0:03:18) Al: or if you are anti any races, (0:03:23) Al: if you are a terrible person of that persuasion, (0:03:28) Al: I don’t care if you listen to the podcast, (0:03:31) Al: you can go away. (0:03:32) Al: Thank you very much. (0:03:33) Al: Only good people here. (0:03:37) Kev: - Okay, so I’ll sign off then. (0:03:39) Kev: Bye everyone. (0:03:41) Al: So that’s all I wanted to talk about. (0:03:44) Al: We’re now gonna go into the escapism and talk about other things, including this episode, (0:03:50) Al: we’re gonna talk about Living Room, (0:03:53) Al: which is an augmented reality game that I have been playing. (0:03:59) Al: And hopefully we can get a good discussion out of that (0:04:02) Kev: All right all right. (0:04:03) Al: because obviously no one else on the team has played it. (0:04:08) Kev: Yeah, well, I mean, OK, I’m jumping the gun here, but like AR games, I think are great, like are they are so much more feasible, plausible than, you know, true VR and I think there’s, there’s a lot you can do with it, so you know I’m down for that. (0:04:20) Al: I agree with that. (0:04:25) Kev: I am very much a proponent of AR, like VR will maybe get there one day, but it’s. (0:04:32) Kev: It’s going to be a minute still till, you know, we’re really, really there. There’s still a lot to figure out, but yeah, we’ll get there. (0:04:36) Al: Yeah definitely. Hopefully we’ll have some good chat about that later on. I think it’s our first AR game that we’re going to talk about so we’ll see about that. Before that obviously we have some news but first of all Kevin what have you been up to? (0:04:58) Kev: Alright, um, so I haven’t talked, it’s been a minute since I’ve been on here, um, you know, sorry Vincent, you know this, you, you heard on Triple R, but I’ve been playing Bellatro. (0:05:08) Kev: I bit the bullet, I’m in there deep. I have clear a run with every one of the base decks, I would call it, um, the, the color decks, if you will, um, there’s all sorts of other decks that unlock later, and you know, there’s difficulty, so there’s still plenty for me to do. (0:05:26) Kev: for me to do, but that just shows. (0:05:28) Kev: How much time I put in and how much I enjoy it, you know. (0:05:32) Al: I mean, to be fair, you completed a run on your first day playing, didn’t you? (0:05:38) Kev: But yeah I mean it is I I’ve said it before like. (0:05:44) Kev: You know for people who don’t know I tutor in math so I am so I’m an engineer so I’m something of a math guy so a name a game centered around numbers and probabilities and and of course strategy I love strategy games like Fire Emblem and such so you know all that is kind of in my wheelhouse so yeah I hit the ground running with that one. (0:06:04) Kev: Yeah, and there’s obviously a lot to unpack. There’s much more so than this. (0:06:08) Kev: There’s a lot to unpack. There’s much more to unpack. There’s much more so than this. (0:06:14) Kev: There’s much more to unpack. There’s much more so than this. (0:06:18) Kev: Other than that, Sonic Frontiers I have been… I am approaching the end of that game. (0:06:26) Kev: I’ve been going back and kind of… Not 100%ing, but at least… (0:06:31) Kev: So, in Sonic Frontiers you have much like, you know, Breath of the Wild or other open world games. (0:06:38) Kev: You unlock parts of the map, right? You find a quote-unquote “tower”. (0:06:42) Kev: In Sonic Frontiers it’s just like a little objective. And you unlock part of the map, make it visible and see. (0:06:48) Kev: Alright, so I’m going back and at least 100%ing the maps, right? (0:06:52) Kev: There’s a lot, so many different like challenges and stuff like that. I will not be 100%ing that game, actually. (0:07:00) Kev: But I’m going back through that and then I’ll be hitting… I’ll be finishing that up soon. (0:07:04) Kev: Um, still, I don’t know, I just, I really like that game, even just- (0:07:08) Kev: They’re running around and using the different grind rails and bumpers and stuff to just fly around, it’s very- (0:07:16) Kev: Almost zen for me, I enjoy it a lot. (0:07:18) Kev: Um, and of course, appropriately, they, uh, gosh, was it last year? I think it’s been a year already. (0:07:24) Kev: Um, they did the Sonic’s birthday update, where you can just deck out the whole island in birthday celebration stuff, so of course I switched that on this week. (0:07:33) Al: Oh yeah. Was that last, was that last (0:07:33) Kev: Um, I think so, it’s been a minute. (0:07:39) Kev: One feature that I don’t think I’ve talked about that, um, I think is a feature I want in every single game, (0:07:44) Kev: Uh, it has a jukebox system, where you can go around, you can find little soundtracks, and then you can just play them whenever you want. (0:07:54) Kev: Of course, certain things like certain battles and, uh, cutscenes or whatever will, you know, obviously won’t play whatever music you want, but- (0:08:00) Kev: I, like, if it’s a game I’m gonna be spending a lot of time in, I like to have different music available, and you know, (0:08:08) Kev: Play something that fits the mood, or just something I want at that moment. (0:08:12) Kev: Uh, Sonic the Hedgehog, of course, has a legacy of fantastic soundtracks, so there’s a lot of good stuff, but- (0:08:18) Kev: Um, just in general, like, I wish I had, uh, that feature was available in more games, looking at you, Pokemon, especially. (0:08:26) Kev: Um, you know, going through how many thousands of hours of Pokemon battles and having to listen to the same sound- song every time. (0:08:34) Kev: But yeah that’s that’s good stuff so prop 2. (0:08:38) Kev: And then aside from that, here’s my plug for Rainbow Road Radio, the Mario podcast I do their mutual friend Alex. (0:08:48) Kev: Next week we are doing an episode on Bowser’s Inside Story, the third Mario and Luigi game, which I have been playing. (0:08:56) Kev: And obviously you hear the full story on that episode, but boy that is a good game. (0:09:02) Kev: Of course as people might see from my handle Koopaprez, I am a big fan of Bowser. (0:09:08) Kev: And a game focused on him. Obviously I am biased, but I think they just did everything fantastic about Bowser. (0:09:16) Kev: Along with a lot of the usual polishes and benefits of the Mario and Luigi game. Like, you know, funny writing in the battle system and all that. (0:09:26) Kev: But yeah, so that’s like I said, tune in next week for more thoughts on that in depth. (0:09:34) Kev: But other than that, yeah I think that’s roughly what I’ve been up to. What about you Alex? (0:09:38) Al: Yeah, um, I have been also playing bilateral. (0:09:44) Al: Not as much as you. (0:09:46) Al: I’m done. (0:09:47) Al: I finished it. (0:09:48) Al: I completed a run. (0:09:49) Al: And that’s enough for me. (0:09:50) Kev: Okay, what deck did you use herself? (0:09:50) Al: A yellow, no, not yellow. (0:09:55) Kev: Okay, all right, you’ll (0:09:56) Al: The one, the one that gives you money, the one not yellow, not yellow. (0:09:59) Al: It was the one. (0:10:00) Al: I can’t remember which one it was, but it was the one that gives you money for the hands and discards you have left. (0:10:05) Kev: Okay that’s green I believe yellow give you like 10 bucks … (0:10:06) Al: Green, right. (0:10:09) Kev: green gives you like more per hand and discard stuff okay … (0:10:09) Al: It does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It gives you, I find, I find that gives you lots of money really early on. (0:10:12) Kev: yeah that’s a good one obviously. (0:10:18) Kev: Oh gosh it is. (0:10:20) Kev: Alright good stuff good on you did you go past it or did you … (0:10:23) Kev: just like shut the app after you hit the clear screen. (0:10:26) Al: I kept going until I died but that was like one blind later. (0:10:30) Kev: Yeah it gets wild how much it’s scale after like they are brutal. (0:10:35) Kev: They say endless mode but no they want to end you fast. (0:10:39) Al: yeah yeah yeah um so yeah uh i’m sure we’ll talk more about that in the future but yeah I i (0:10:48) Al: I played it and i’m done (0:10:50) Kev: Free, free at last, free at last. (0:10:53) Al: um i’ve also been continuing on snap um the new season started um I did buy the season pass again because um I feel you don’t actually need a humongous amount of time into the game to get get this season pass done. (0:11:10) Al: So I feel like it’s worth it. (0:11:10) Kev: yeah no yeah it is right it’s wild to think like you know I’ve paid I think almost every single pass that’s ten bucks a month which you know when you tally it all up is sizable for a game like one single game maybe but because it’s broken up so far in only ten bucks a month like it doesn’t feel bad and I get my enjoyments (0:11:13) Al: And it’s a good amount of stuff you get. (0:11:38) Al: Well, and the advantages that you’re paying as long as you’re playing it, right? Like, (0:11:42) Kev: That’s true, that’s very true. (0:11:42) Al: as soon as you stop playing it, you no longer give them any money. So yeah, I’m enjoying that. (0:11:50) Al: I’m in the 70s again, struggling in the 70s last season. I think when I talked last episode, (0:11:52) Kev: God it it really is yeah (0:11:56) Al: when I talked last episode, I was almost 80. I ended up finishing at 93, I think so. (0:12:00) Kev: Uh-huh (0:12:04) Al: I’ve mentioned this to you, Kevin, but I don’t think I said on the podcast. (0:12:07) Al: I finally got up to 80. It took me four and a half weeks to get to 80, and then it took me exactly 18 hours to get to 90. (0:12:17) Kev: oh yeah that sounds correct I don’t know what it is I actually have a similar um I hit a certain a similar wall when i’m in the 70s I don’t know what it is it is a like I don’t know if that’s (0:12:17) Al: Which is just so stupid! (0:12:31) Kev: where the largest concentration of players are or you know ones who play regularly because it’s pretty easy to get up there but it’s it’s just so I don’t know what it is it’s hard to (0:12:45) Kev: like two steps back (0:12:47) Kev: we’re two steps forward and two steps back in the 70s, it’s wild (0:12:50) Al: Oh yeah yeah yeah constantly like I’m I’ve been playing you know a good half an hour to an hour every day since it’s since the season started and I’m at 73 so I’m literally exactly the same place as you are when you hit 70 so so yeah I don’t know hopefully I’ll get there eventually but yeah it’s it’s really funny I part of it is my own fault right like I’m snapping when I’m not convinced I’m going to win. (0:13:20) Al: But also, I just feel like in the 70s is when everybody has Shang-Chi, (0:13:25) Al: which is the killer for my deck, right? Like if they have a Shang-Chi, it’s killed. (0:13:31) Al: And no, I’m running the Black Panther symbiote. (0:13:36) Kev: right right right okay oh yeah that’s that’s rough well time to gosh and you you do the obviously you want to do the Arnim Zola strat so you can’t run Cosmo or or armor (0:13:40) Al: It’s, yeah. (0:13:46) Al: Yeah, no, it’s what I have, what I have been doing. (0:13:51) Al: I’ve not been leaning into it as much because it doesn’t give you as much power, (0:13:55) Al: but I’ve been doing a sentinel, sentinel symbiote and the advantage of that is they can’t Shang-Chi you (0:14:06) Al: and you get, because it gives you a 13, (0:14:10) Al: 13 power and then you, Arnim’s all of that and you get four of them, so you get two things of 26. (0:14:17) Kev: Nimrod, you mean Nimrod, I mean he is a sentinel, but yes, nerd talk over here, yes, yes, yes, oh god, Nimrod, yeah yeah yeah, it’s the one that, what is it, 2 cost 3 power, it sends 2 sentinels into the opponent’s hand, or no, sends, no, add, no, yeah, it adds 1 into your hand, mastermhold, yes, yes, that’s the one, yes, backwards, um, yeah (0:14:20) Al: Nimrod, not sentinel. Why did I think sentinel? Yeah, yeah, that’s probably where I got confused. (0:14:26) Al: That’s probably where I got confused. Yeah, Nimrod. Is there a card called sentinel? (0:14:40) Al: Yeah, no, no, it sends one into your hand. Master mold sends two into the opponent’s hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, Nimrod. Sorry. So you get 13 power, and then you quadruple that basically. So you get to two locations to get 26. It is good. It’s not as foolproof. Like if you get it off, you can still lose. Whereas if you manage to get the Black Panther symbiote one, you win almost 100. Yeah, you get almost 100%. (0:15:02) Kev: Yeah, ‘cause the numbers don’t get insane. (0:15:07) Al: Like there’s like maybe two, two cases. (0:15:10) Al: But yeah, so it’s it’s good. But yeah, I need to lean into that more, I think, because then obviously they can’t chung chi it and if they do, you just get more of it and then exactly, exactly. (0:15:11) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s. (0:15:24) Kev: - Yeah, it just benefits you, that’s great. (0:15:26) Al: But the the one thing they can do, which has killed me a couple of times, is cosmo it. And then it’s really annoying. (0:15:36) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yep always a threat that little Russian pupper (0:15:38) Al: really annoying. (0:15:40) Al: So yeah, they don’t interestingly very few people running armor so that doesn’t tend to be an issue but yeah. (0:15:50) Al: So anyway yeah, still in the 70s or back to the 70s I guess and we’ll see how that goes but yeah I’m still enjoying it enough to keep playing it every day but what I’ve added and this is weird because I normally don’t add to my daily games. (0:16:06) Al: This is not a thing that happens. (0:16:10) Al: I’ve been playing pokemon TCG pocket as well and initially I was just doing the card collecting part of it right. (0:16:19) Al: What I really like is you know going into it, opening up my packs and being done with it but for those who aren’t aware they’ve added a bunch of events that are battle focused and I have actually been kind of enjoying them. (0:16:34) Al: So there’s the solo battle event. (0:16:35) Al: This is what’s really good so they’re running three simultaneous events in the game. (0:16:40) Al: There is a wonder pick event which is just where you’re doing the wonder picks. (0:16:45) Al: Do you know what the wonder pick feature is in pocket? (0:16:46) Kev: No. (0:16:48) Al: No. (0:16:49) Al: So the idea behind this is the game shows you a number of packs that people, other people have opened. (0:16:57) Al: Some of you which are your friends, some of which are random people in the app and it shows you the five cards and you can pay a certain currency which like the packs regenerates it’s over time. (0:17:10) Al: And you so you use that and you get you get one of the cards in the pack picked at random. (0:17:17) Al: So it’s a nice way to get extra ones and you can focus on like oh that pack has two cards that I don’t have yet let me use that one and I’ve you know I might get one of them. It’s quite nice. (0:17:25) Al: So they’ve they’re running a wonder pick event where they had some promo cards that showed up in extra wonder picks. So there’s a chance the enemy house and you would get some that would be like one one of the cards and for (0:17:40) Al: items that are like shop items that allow you to unlock other things. And then sometimes you’d get one that was like four chances and one Meowth. Sometimes you get four Meowths and one chance or whatever. So you’re trying to get the promo cards and also get the other currency to then get other things as well, like accessories and stuff like that. So that was fun. But I mean, I got that done pretty quickly. I’ve got everything in that. That took a couple of days of doing very little, (0:18:07) Kev: Okay, okay (0:18:07) Al: but it was good fun to have an extra thing to do in the game. (0:18:10) Al: And then they’re running a solo battle event which is where there are solo battles in the game where you play against the AI against different decks and so it’s by default in the game I think there’s like I think it’s six different decks that you can do at different levels and do different challenges against them you can just beat them and then there’s like a challenge to to beat it without without the opponent getting a point stuff like that but they’re running a limited time one (0:18:40) Al: Lapras EX event and so you’re it’s the same sort of thing you’re you’re battling against it and trying to beat specific challenges and that was fun and I completed all that after maybe like three days or something that was yeah exactly really really fun and then they added a third event which is the PvP battle event and what I really like about this so in the last episode when I was talking to Johnny about this he was like I really hope they don’t do a ladder and we were we were talking about how I. (0:19:10) Al: think they’re probably going to do a different kind of of battle PVP challenge thing and this I feel like is probably it. (0:19:21) Al: Basically you get a trophy depending on how many wins you get. It’s not based on a win loss ratio. There’s no like climbing the ranks. It’s literally just if you get 45 wins you get this trophy. Which is really nice. I think it’s really fun. (0:19:34) Kev: Okay, okay. Yeah (0:19:37) Al: Like, 45 is obviously a lot of wins, but the… (0:19:40) Al: like three weeks long I think uh it’s the two yeah three weeks long (0:19:42) Kev: Okay, sure and these are these are short games they’re not your 20-minute standard (0:19:47) Al: yeah (0:19:49) Kev: PTCG. Okay. So yeah, that’s that’s within reason (0:19:50) Al: yeah technically technically there is like it’s each player has a timer and (0:19:58) Al: each timer is 20 minutes so theoretically it could take 40 minutes but i’ve never had a battle take longer than five so um so I feel like the timer is pretty pointless (0:20:03) Kev: Ah. (0:20:06) Kev: Okay. (0:20:07) Kev: Yeah. (0:20:10) Al: I think if they’re going to have the timer it needs to be a lot shorter than it is because it (0:20:14) Al: like honestly if you were taking that long someone would have just given up by that point it would not be fun at all so yeah no that’s that’s been really fun as well i’ve been doing i’ve been trying to do five wins a day so that I at least keep it going but I don’t feel you know completely fed up of it. (0:20:22) Kev: Hey, and that’s a strat, you know? (0:20:24) Kev: Just… just let the timer run! (0:20:27) Kev: Yeah (0:20:40) Al: And it means I can still do some snap as well. So that’s been really fun. I’m really liking it. I hope this sort of stuff continues having the different events and having a collection event and a solo battle event and a pvp battle event all running at the same time means that people who want to do everything have a lot they can do and those who are just focused on one thing still have an event right so just just running a battle event means that people who don’t want to battle only just want to collect, we’d have nothing to do. So I think this is a really fun… (0:21:02) Kev: Yeah (0:21:08) Kev: Yeah (0:21:11) Kev: Yeah, I I get yeah that seems like a good idea because obviously we have (0:21:17) Kev: It is very (0:21:20) Kev: Collection focused clearly, but (0:21:23) Kev: You know the game itself is still a big factor. So yeah, that makes sense to have different (0:21:29) Kev: Events going on for the different sides of it. That’s cool (0:21:32) Al: Yeah, it’s good fun (0:21:33) Kev: um yeah, I I (0:21:36) Kev: still have not felt the siren call of pocket like I (0:21:42) Kev: I’ve been trying to think why that is because it’s not like there’s anything I have against it per se. It seems fine (0:21:49) Kev: It’s probably because I like the base or you know the standard version and it’s not like I mean part like the time thing I’m sure pocket that’s very enjoyable But I don’t know like if I want to play it (0:22:02) Kev: the card game I’ll probably just fire up live and play the actual card game like I don’t know how else to describe it it’s just not call it to me like and you know like you’re saying right pocket well actually I mean live is the same way but I have a lot on my plate already with my dailies and whatnot I can’t afford in there I don’t want another one all right now (0:22:22) Al: I think I’m not gonna I’m not gonna try and convince you to do it but what I would say is that just opening the the game for five minutes to do your cards is super easy and super satisfying especially at the beginning like you get cards really quickly to start with and that in and of itself is fun I think and yeah so (0:22:46) Kev: Might you know, maybe I’ll do it just to see what on earth it’s the it feels like we’ll see but (0:22:54) Al: Yeah, well think about it when you unlock a new variant in in Marvel Snap, that’s really fun (0:23:00) Al: Just imagine doing that but it’s a pack of five every day (0:23:00) Kev: yeah yeah yeah I get that you know like yeah yeah that’s that’s good um we’ll see they might add something later that because you have those immersive cards that is cool I do kind of want to see those you know they’ll part maybe they’ll lean (0:23:04) Al: Or two packs of five every day (0:23:25) Al: Yeah, fun times. Well, that’s what we’ve been up to. We’re going to talk about some news. (0:23:32) Al: It’s a good thing that what we’ve been up to is so long because there’s not a lot of news. But the news that we do have is chunky. So first of all, we have Disney Dreamlight Valley have they had a new, what do they call it? Are they calling it showcase I think about upcoming stuff first of all the (0:23:55) Al: yeah I think I think they’re calling it showcase let me double check what they call it I thought it would be quick and easy to figure out what it was called yes showcase they’re calling it the dreamlight valley showcase so this has two things first of all is the uh free update uh they are continuing to do these free updates uh the new one comes out on the 4th of december and that includes sally from the nightmare before christmas which was very clearly hinted that uh a while ago once we figured out. (0:24:22) Kev: Right. (0:24:25) Al: What we were looking at. (0:24:28) Al: But also they have a new feature of floating islands which allows you to expand your valley. (0:24:33) Al: It says large areas accessible through the fast travel menu once they’ve been unlocked with Dreamlight. So this obviously people have been asking for a way to expand the valley quite for quite a while because it gets quite quite yeah. (0:24:45) Kev: Yeah, that seems inevitable with you know them keep adding more then Disney has a lot to add. So yeah (0:24:52) Al: yeah. (0:24:56) Al: » Yeah, yeah, so they decided to go with their floating islands. (0:25:00) Al: So you can unlock them and then fast travel to them. (0:25:04) Al: And it seems like a fun way to be able to add more space while not just making it feel like the village is like smooshed together. (0:25:15) Al: So these obviously will feel a little bit tacked on in so much as it’s just like, here is this biome, but now in the sky as well. (0:25:23) Al: Um, but, but I. (0:25:25) Al: I feel like it’s hard to, like, shove it into the existing map, so it feels like an acceptable kind of compromise there. (0:25:40) Al: They also announced their new expansion pass called The Storybook Vale, so as expected this is a new purchase, the previous expansion pass is done. (0:25:52) Al: This is a brand new expansion pass of two parts. (0:25:56) Al: The first part comes out on the 20th of November and introduces Merida from Brave, Flynn Rider from Tangled, and Hades from Hercules, obviously. (0:26:09) Kev: And that’s a real eclectic, you know, group. (0:26:10) Al: Yeah, so I’m just going to read some of their own wording for this description because I feel like there’s a lot to not quite, not quite to note. (0:26:28) Al: It’s a bit, I’m going to read. (0:26:32) Al: “Bewist our way to the Vale and embark on an enchanting adventure with a cast of new new characters, including the Lorekeeper, a magical boo- (0:26:40) Al: like holding this fantastical land together. However, a happily ever after is a ways off as you discover the discordance between two iconic Disney villains, Maleficent from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and Hades from Disney’s Hercules, has torn this land apart, causing a mysterious phenomenon across the Vale’s three biomes, The Bind, Ever After and Mythopia. Their conflict has yielded ink seeping out of the very ground and sent the pages of the Lorekeeper near (0:27:11) Al: as enchanted page pieces called snippets. So I think the idea is that it’s a book full of stories that has burst open and you have to go find it to put it back together. And it says you’ll gain the advantage of a new tool, the Royal Net, that will enable you to capture the various snippets that have escaped the Lorekeeper’s pages. So presumably you’re getting story as you collect the page pieces, I’m assuming. (0:27:40) Kev: okay that um huh that this is interesting um yeah and like lore keeper is a very (0:27:48) Kev: maybe not ominous sounding name but uh you know it’s it sounds significant let’s say that right um so i’m curious to see you know what they’re uh how far they’re gonna lean into that what what is the lore keeper gonna look like or who’s it going to be I don’t know um is it gonna be oh it’s a book sorry oh I’m (0:27:53) Al: Hmm. (0:28:06) Al: Well it says it’s a book. A magical book. (0:28:10) Kev: Oh, it’s just a book okay, huh? (0:28:13) Kev: uh (0:28:14) Al: But the pages seem to be, if you have a look on the link, the first link, the pages seem to be like origami creatures? (0:28:23) Kev: Oh, I see all those are actually cute. I like those. Those are nice designs. Oh, that’s cute (0:28:29) Kev: Huh, okay (0:28:30) Al: So you’ve got like a little green, green and yellow bird, and a little blue, well purple and purple fox, I guess? (0:28:33) Kev: Yeah (0:28:38) Kev: Yeah, fox dragon thing, I don’t know it’s a (0:28:39) Al: Something like that? (0:28:41) Kev: I Like looks like a dragon, you know, you don’t see the mouth like then it’s thick and I don’t know It’s looks dragon eat him. It’s you know, it’s the color and the it could it kind of looks (0:28:42) Al: Dragon? What? (0:28:53) Kev: Scales the texture of the page. That’s what it is. I see it now Um (0:28:56) Al: I see what you mean about this, yeah. And there’s a little kind of purple frog with a flower growing out the top of it. (0:29:03) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I see that. Okay. See I didn’t look at these pictures at all. But yeah when you said snippets I thought it was like actually just pages. Okay, that’s much more interesting. Okay, that’s cute. I like that that. Um, huh. (0:29:15) Al: so yeah I guess we’ll see this that’s most of the information we have they’ve announced that the part two of this expansion pass will come out in summer 2025 and that’s the one that will introduce (0:29:27) Al: Maleficent and they’ve also announced their upcoming free content roadmap in early 2025 right this is where we try and figure out what these are is that what’s the what’s the the one the princess and the frog oh no no no no I tell you what it is (0:29:42) Kev: No, that’s Aladdin. That’s Aladdin’s hat and Jasmine. (0:29:45) Al: that’s I was just about to say that’s Aladdin and what’s her name isn’t it (0:29:49) Al: um Jasmine yeah yeah I just I thought it looked like um the princess and the frogs Tiana is that her name I had that in my head but I didn’t want to say it uh I thought that looked like her tiara but no you’re right that’s the wrong color of green and different shape yeah you’re right it’s I saw the fez I saw the fez and was like wait no that’s Aladdin isn’t it (0:29:50) Kev: Tiana. (0:30:05) Kev: no that’s it says explore a new world so that that’s what the yeah yeah yeah yep yep who could that be yeah (0:30:14) Al: So Ali2025. (0:30:15) Al: Explore a new world and revel on a magical adventure. Obviously Aladdin. Spring 2025 we’ve got the Cheshire Cat in his in a ghosty form. Step into a land of wonder and meet new friends along the way. Yeah that’s the most obvious one right? And summer 2025. Solve an ancient mystery and discover who’s waiting inside Skull Rock. And we have an orange feather and wait oh is that the shadow of (0:30:42) Kev: Uh, let’s… (0:30:45) Al: Is that gargoyle? (0:30:46) Kev: Oh, it looks like a winged creature of some sort. (0:30:50) Kev: I’m very confused. Isn’t Skull Rock supposed to be like, Peter Pan? (0:30:53) Al: Yeah, but they mix these things up quite a lot. (0:30:55) Kev: Yeah… I-I don’t- I’m… (0:30:57) Al: Like the Cheshire Cat isn’t in a forest, for example, you know, like, so yeah, they like to mix these things up. (0:31:00) Kev: Sure. (0:31:03) Kev: Wha- I mean- (0:31:04) Kev: Uh… huh. (0:31:07) Kev: Oh, solvent- it’s an ancient mystery! (0:31:12) Kev: It has orange feather, I-I don’t have to- (0:31:15) Kev: Uh, I’m at a loss here, some sort of… (0:31:17) Kev: …winged creature? I have no idea, I’m at a lost home. (0:31:20) Al: go have a look on the disney dreamlight valley reddit because that’s where I found the sally (0:31:24) Kev: What are- what are the conspiracy theorists saying? (0:31:27) Kev: Heh heh! (0:31:28) Kev: You know, I- just- just as an aside, when are they gonna bring in Cherubog? (0:31:31) Kev: When are you gonna help Cherubog out? (0:31:33) Kev: Heh heh heh heh! (0:31:34) Al: You’re gonna have to tell me what that is, I don’t know. (0:31:36) Kev: Oh, you don’t know Cherubog? (0:31:38) Kev: Okay, do you know Fantasia? (0:31:39) Al: No? Uh, yes. (0:31:41) Kev: OK, Cherubov– (0:31:42) Kev: –is the big winged demon guy in that segment. (0:31:46) Kev: You know, like, I think it’s the final segment, yeah. (0:31:48) Kev: He’s the– one of the spookiest guys. (0:31:52) Kev: He’s basically just like a demon guy. (0:31:56) Al: Fair enough (0:31:58) Al: Right. I’m just scrolling through. I’m not I can’t find anything about (0:32:03) Al: I’ve obviously come to the Reddit too late to see people to see the (0:32:08) Kev: I’ll be doing detective work in the background if you want. (0:32:09) Al: The (0:32:15) Al: Give me give me one minute before I give up. Yeah, there are too many people on this subreddit (0:32:22) Kev: Ancient mystery. (0:32:24) Kev: What are– it’s not going to be dinosaur. (0:32:26) Kev: It’s not going to be 20-whatever, 2,000-whatever dinosaur. (0:32:30) Kev: It’s not Aladon. (0:32:30) Al: No, no. (0:32:33) Al: So what I’m thinking, and I have no idea about the feather, but the shadow looks like a winged gargoyle, I think. (0:32:40) Al: And so I wonder if it could be something to do with Quasimodo. (0:32:44) Kev: Guessing or ah (0:32:45) Al: But I don’t know. (0:32:46) Al: That is just a wild guess. (0:32:47) Kev: Here’s the twist it’s live-action (0:32:49) Kev: Maleficent oh (0:32:51) Kev: You know I don’t know I’m not comfortable with how well that would work out actually (0:32:57) Kev: Yeah, because she has the wings in the movies, and I don’t know if you saw the second one But she’s basically becomes a Phoenix, so there’s your orange bed. Oh, no. It’s it’s Angelina Jolie (0:33:14) Al: yeah none of them have well actually does captain hook have a feather in his cap (0:33:18) Kev: He does, yeah no it’s a huge feather, yeah no this is like a little bird feather. (0:33:20) Al: could it be that then no it’s the wrong kind of feather it’s not big enough yeah (0:33:26) Al: I thought that before I actually have my aphantasia means I can’t see in my head (0:33:27) Kev: OH! (0:33:28) Kev: There it is, Peter Pan has an orange feather in his hat, it’s Peter, yeah he does, I just (0:33:32) Al: oh does he (0:33:36) Al: so he does people are probably screaming that at us uh all right cool so what’s the the winged creature then. (0:33:44) Kev: It might just be us looking at it and just multiple shadows next to each other maybe. (0:33:44) Al: Could it be no could it could it be Tinkerbell doing a silly thing like she loved she liked to make weird shadows didn’t she at one point. (0:34:06) Kev: But it’s definitely okay. So yeah, it’s peter pan. I was right the first time cuz gold rock is from pipe (0:34:12) Al: - Yeah, okay, I just like, just because that’s. (0:34:14) Al: The trauma originally doesn’t mean it would be the case still, but anyway. (0:34:19) Al: The final thing to talk about with Disney’s Dreamland Valley is they’ve also announced new editions and early adopter bonuses. (0:34:27) Al: Because they don’t have enough versions of this game, so you still have the base, you can just buy the base game. (0:34:37) Al: That is still a thing you can do. You can buy the enchanted edition which already I think existed and that gives you (0:34:45) Al: both A Rift in Time, the first expansion, and the Storybook Vale, so presumably. (0:34:51) Al: If they do other expansions, that will also give you that. (0:34:54) Al: You can also buy individually just A Rift in Time or just the Storybook Vale. (0:35:00) Al: Obviously you have to have the base game for them. (0:35:03) Al: You can now also buy the Storybook Vale bundle, which is just the base game and the Storybook Vale, but not A Rift in Time. (0:35:07) Kev: Heh! (0:35:11) Kev: Oh my goodness! (0:35:16) Al: Or you can buy, if you already have the base game, you can buy the Storybook Vale Magical Edition, (0:35:23) Al: which gives you the new expansion and basically the pre-order bonuses. (0:35:31) Al: It calls it early adopter bonuses, but it’s basically a pre-order bonus, right? (0:35:34) Al: It’s like, because you got it early, I presume that will only be available for a limited period of time. (0:35:39) Al: You get those if you also bought the Enchanted Edition, you get the early adopter bonuses. (0:35:44) Al: They also have bonuses as well, which are an Autumn Manor house style, a dress and ensemble, (0:35:52) Al: a baby pegasus companion and a Greek Hercules inspired house for baby pegasus, I presume that is. (0:36:05) Al: And more moonstones. (0:36:10) Kev: it was great until I scrolled down to this they are oh just confusing me just overwhelmingly (0:36:18) Kev: with um it’s a it’s a bold strategy a masterful gambit i’ll tell them that make money (0:36:24) Al: It’s wild, the number of different ways you can give them money. (0:36:32) Kev: Heh heh heh. (0:36:34) Al: I have to say though, the enchanted edition is looking a better and better deal as they add more stuff because that is $80 and the base game is $40 and then each expansion is $30 so if you were to buy them all individually, if you were to buy them all, yeah yeah. (0:36:48) Kev: Geez Louise, it’s… (0:36:54) Al: If you were to buy them all individually that would be $100 so you’re getting $20 off but you also get 18,000 moonstones and a bunch of pre-order stuff and presumably if they do any more expansions you’ll get them as well because I don’t think they’re going to stop. (0:37:12) Kev: Yeah no of course not. (0:37:15) Kev: We don’t have Pixar in here yet right no yeah we do what am I doing crazy yes we have Wally. (0:37:18) Al: yeah yeah yeah yeah and brave because merida’s merida’s there now (0:37:20) Kev: We don’t have a lot of Pixar though. (0:37:24) Kev: Oh yeah yeah I’m just thinking when do we get the radiator Springs when you get the cars universe. (0:37:26) Al: um there’s there’s a bunch of stuff I think (0:37:33) Al: let’s have a look at the characters list and see who’s in there (0:37:36) Kev: You know just as an aside like every time they add. (0:37:42) Kev: the Nightmare Before Christmas like of course they do because it’s double holiday themed it’s so obvious but it Nightmare Before Christmas always feels like the red-headed stepchild of Disney because you know it’s it’s him Burton and it’s uh not a you know 2d or 3d animated or whatever I did so like they don’t they don’t really touch it aside from marketing or just selling things but you know I’ve never gotten a sequel a spin-off or whatever (0:37:54) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah agreed (0:38:12) Kev: I always find it fascinating how the kind of dance around (0:38:19) Al: Yeah, yeah it’s quite funny. So as you said you’ve got Wally and Eve, you have Remy from Ratatouille. (0:38:29) Al: Anything else we’ve got? Frozen’s just Disney isn’t it, it’s not Pixar. (0:38:36) Kev: Yeah, it’s just Disney. (0:38:37) Al: Toy Story, Buzz and Woody are in it. They are. And Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc as well. (0:38:40) Kev: Oh, are they in it? I couldn’t remember. Oh, okay. Cool. (0:38:43) Kev: Alright, Buzz and Woody in it. We’re good, ‘cause they’re, you know, books. (0:38:47) Kev: Oh, they’re in it. Gosh, I have not been paying attention, clearly. (0:38:49) Al: So it’s a pretty decent number of Pixar stuff. (0:38:50) Kev: You know… (0:38:51) Kev: Alright, yeah, no, those are heavy hitters. Yeah, that’s fine. (0:38:56) Kev: Um… (0:38:58) Kev: You know what? Here’s the real question, right? Like, this is… (0:39:01) Kev: This is a very, um… (0:39:04) Kev: substantial amount of Disney. (0:39:06) Kev: When do we get to the stinkers? (0:39:10) Kev: When are they going to put in Home on the Range and Chicken Little and Bolt? (0:39:18) Kev: When are we going to get those? (0:39:20) Al: they have a lot of characters to go through before they get there (0:39:22) Kev: I know, but I want to see them do it. (0:39:25) Al: because like as we just as we just mentioned they’ve still got like a majority of the Pixar films even right [laughing] (0:39:30) Kev: Oh, I know, but they’re cowards. (0:39:34) Kev: I wanna see them do it, I wanna see them lean (0:39:36) Kev: into it. They won’t, but… (0:39:38) Al: I don’t know, maybe sometime, but I suspect they’ll just stop the game by the time they get to that point, right? (0:39:46) Al: Alrighty, the next is Stardew Valley So, the never ending game is continuing to be never ending First of all… (0:39:55) Kev: as announced this week by ConcernedApe. (0:40:00) Al: Yeah well, we’ll get to that, that’s on my list to talk about start off with 1.6 is out on console on mobile so if you’ve been waiting for the (0:40:08) Al: switch version which let’s be honest if you were waiting it was probably for the switch version I guess maybe there are some people who play on mobile and are listening but I suspect most of you are waiting for the switch version it’s out now go get it but they’ve also with that added a 1.6.9 patch which has been added to steam and was on all the console and mobile versions as well it doesn’t it does have a bunch of fixes but it also has some features balance changes and (0:40:39) Al: quality of life improvements so first of all there is a lost unique item shop so if you manage to lose one of the items that are just like a special one-off thing you can go and buy it back from the shop in the secret (0:40:58) Al: Next we have you can finally put legendary fish in the ponds and get roe from them. (0:41:02) Kev: Finally! (0:41:04) Al: Finally, you’re limited to one fish per pond, but there you go, if you wanted to do that. (0:41:12) Al: A huge improvement, you can now put beds and sleep in those beds inside any constructed building that allows you to put furniture in. (0:41:22) Kev: Alright, alright, alright (0:41:22) Al: So, go sleep in your shed. (0:41:26) Kev: Finally dreams now that you get in a fight with your spouse you can us (0:41:28) Al: And the real feature though is the items dropped into water will float in the water for a short period of time so that you can pick them up. (0:41:44) Al: The number of times I have like cut a tree down in the wrong direction and lost half the wood because it just goes into the water. (0:41:52) Al: Whereas now it’s just going to suck back up. Love it. (0:41:54) Kev: All right, all right and dig it (0:41:58) Al: There’s a lot of other small things which I don’t think we need to go into. (0:42:04) Al: But I will link the changelog in the show notes if you want to go and have a look. (0:42:10) Al: So, yeah, I just read one which is Clint now refills your watering can when upgrading it, which is such a weirdly tiny feature to give. (0:42:12) Kev: Those are I like those those are all thoughtful (0:42:24) Al: Um, but yeah, that’s funny. (0:42:26) Kev: I said thoughtful (0:42:28) Al: Yeah, but this is the thing, it doesn’t really fit with Clint, right? (0:42:32) Al: Like, why would Clint do that? (0:42:32) Kev: Well, oh, you know what you’re right you’re right (0:42:34) Al: Don’t make me like him. (0:42:36) Kev: Okay, no, no. No, he does that but if you pursue Emily he stops doing it [Laughter] (0:42:42) Al: And as Kevin hinted at, we got another interview from Concerned Ape and this is in Nintendo Life. (0:42:56) Al: He says that he basically just can’t stop working on it. He says “I feel like I could work on it for the rest of my life. I don’t want to see it fizzle out.” So confirmation, as we expected, (0:43:07) Al: that we’re probably going to get Stardew Valley updates until he dies. (0:43:12) Kev: Okay, I’m… I don’t… I have thoughts on this because, like, this really feels like, uh, how should I put this, almost concerning, um, just like, obviously, it makes a lot of sense, just from a pragmatic standpoint, right, because he’s making money off of it, and he’s done all the work on it, um, so, you know, I get it in that sense, (0:43:43) Kev: but, like, clearly, I’m projecting here a little, like, how much of this is also just him, um, you know, not able to get away from it, sort of a prison of his own mind, if you will, um… (0:43:57) Al: I do think that’s a lot of it, so he says the exact wording is “I have so many ideas for Stardew, I feel like I could work on it for the rest of my life and just keep improving it, adding more stuff to it, more content, fleshing out the existing content”. (0:44:10) Al: That’s the main thing I want to do is flesh out the existing content. (0:44:13) Al: So like I don’t, I wouldn’t feel bad for him. (0:44:19) Al: Like in a way I think it is kind of his brain not letting him let it go but also he will probably never make some (0:44:24) Kev: - Right. (0:44:24) Kev: you Bye. (0:44:27) Al: If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send them to me in the comments below. (0:44:38) Kev: Sure, oh, yeah, of course not. Yeah. No, it’s impossible possible. (0:44:42) Al: And he just like I don’t I think it’s I totally understand when you do something that millions of people enjoy and you’re a good person and you want to give people stuff right like he’s not (0:44:57) Al: he’s not doing this he’s not doing like obviously he’s going to still continue to sell it when he makes updates but realistically he’s not making the money he could be making on that but he knows that he’s made enough money and therefore could continue to do this for the rest of his life and not worry about the money like that must feel really freeing in a way (0:45:18) Kev: Sure there is a gosh I guess you’re right right like I guess as long as he happy it’s fine right the one that really concerns me the quote or the is how he says. (0:45:35) Kev: He doesn’t want to see it fizzle out right like cause that’s that’s that no longer feels like he wants to just keep keep keep it growing he’s just worried. (0:45:48) Kev: He’s not worried about the impermanence or what like whatever it like he wants it to stay relevant that part feels a little concerning. (0:45:57) Al: I mean, we’re reading into this now, but I don’t think he means as in I want to keep selling forever. (0:45:57) Kev: Yeah. (0:46:04) Al: I think it’s more just like it’s just something that he loves so much that he wants to keep it new and fresh all the time. (0:46:12) Kev: I guess like I again like it’s a we’re reading into it this is a lot of deep psychological stuff under the surface like when I hear someone say that I think like they’re just worried about. (0:46:29) Kev: Because I think this would be fair to call it his master work right like his masterpiece you know just you know wanting to that to matter like I can see some people caring about. (0:46:42) Kev: That yeah I don’t know it’s it’s a lot to unpack like I guess the important thing is as long as he’s genuinely happy right like if he’s not doing this out of some sort of stress like. (0:46:54) Kev: That he’s it’s not going to be relevant anymore that’s that’s the main thing but but at the very least he’ll be making money out of it. (0:47:07) Al: yeah yeah exactly um but I mean I think when he announced that 1.5 would be the last update I was like no way will this be the last update and then he announced 1.6 with the last update and I was like I don’t think so uh so you know I i you know I think will we in 10 years still be getting updates maybe not are we gonna get a 1.7 I suspect we’ll get a 1.7 um and remember The one the 1.6 update was meant to be a smaller (0:47:17) Kev: Haha, yep, very true very true (0:47:33) Kev: You know what? (0:47:38) Al: It was not a small update. (0:47:41) Kev: Oh gosh, you know what? There’s also… (0:47:45) Kev: Looking at it from the other side, like, I’m not saying fans are (0:47:49) Kev: Asking for more from from Stardew or from Concerned Ape, but they’re always willing to consume more, right? Like, (0:47:58) Kev: There’s something in this day and in the modern day and age about just the never-ending (0:48:03) Kev: Quote-unquote franchise or game or whatever right like in 10 years. We’re gonna have new Pokemon coming out. I promise you that [laughing] (0:48:12) Al: However, I think there is a huge difference. (0:48:15) Al: I suspect you’ll agree with me on this. (0:48:18) Al: I think there’s a huge difference between that and this though, because the franchise of Pokemon or the franchise of Marvel, yes, there are people in there that they love what it is and they want to create more just for the sake of making more, but the franchise exists because it makes money. (0:48:34) Al: And I still strongly don’t think that he makes updates to make money. (0:48:40) Al: makes updates because he has (0:48:42) Al: these ideas and he can’t get them out of his head and he just wants to put them in the game. (0:48:46) Kev: Yeah, okay, you know what that’s fair. Yeah, I’ll agree with that. Yeah (0:48:53) Al: and I don’t think stardew could keep going could keep being the center of conversation year after year if the updates weren’t good like if he released a bad update people would like sure they would keep playing the game and they’d try the new update but I don’t think we would have got as much talk about 1.6 as we did this year it would not have been as big a conversation (0:49:16) Kev: Yeah, you know what? You’re right about that. I can’t argue it at all. (0:49:22) Al: All right well our last piece of news is a new game that has just come out apparently was a month ago I thought it was last week but no it’s a month ago that was updated last week that’s why I thought it was new but this is a game called web fishing sorry it’s in all caps web fishing a multiplayer chat room focused fishing game relax and fish on the web. (0:49:40) Kev: That’s good, I like it. (0:49:49) Kev: What that’s okay, that’s quite a pitch (0:49:53) Kev: multi the multiplayer is what what throws me off here like (0:49:57) Kev: Just hanging out and fish (0:50:00) Al: “Web fishing is a multiplayer online casual fishing game where you relax, hang out, make friends, and catch fish.” (0:50:07) Al: “Nearly a hundred different creatures to catch.” (0:50:09) Al: “Become the ultimate fisherman. Upgrade your gear with new baits, lures.” (0:50:13) Al: So there’s obviously a good amount of customization. (0:50:15) Al: It looks very… the character models look very Animal Crossing-esque. (0:50:20) Kev: Yup, yup. I see what you mean here. (0:50:22) Al: For some reason there’s a guitar minigame. (0:50:25) Kev: Classic fishing. (0:50:27) Al: This looks interesting. (0:50:30) Al: It’s pretty cheap. It’s like four quid, I presume. Is it five dollars? (0:50:34) Kev: Yeah that’s what an interesting idea like who comes up with this that’s what I want to think of but but they are so Animal Crossing just looking at it now like it’s the shape. (0:50:57) Kev: Oh yeah it is yeah five USD yeah you’re right. (0:50:59) Al: It’s a very low poly (0:51:02) Kev: Like think I’d say Wild World maybe on the DS level of animal crossing. (0:51:09) Kev: That’s how many polygons you can see on that head. (0:51:10) Al: it kind of yeah it kind of reminds me of someone drawing in paint and posting on tumblr (0:51:18) Kev: You know what? It does have a very Tumblr vibe to it, I will say that, absolutely. (0:51:22) Al: do you not think (0:51:29) Kev: One sec. Sorry, one sec, Al. My thing’s dying, hold on. (0:51:33) Kev: Okay, there we are. Um, okay, look, as, you know, as connoisseurs of, uh, fishing games, (0:51:41) Kev: um, I do, like, is it just, it’s probably just gonna be Animal Crossing style fishing, isn’t it? (0:51:47) Kev: it would be nice if they put… (0:51:48) Kev: a little effort into the fishing game. (0:51:50) Kev: Um, but uh, we’ll see. For five bucks, it might be worth it, I guess? (0:51:56) Kev: I don’t know, like, um… (0:51:58) Kev: Is this just a game that’s just the fishing part of Animal Crossing? (0:52:02) Kev: Maybe? (0:52:04) Kev: Is that enough? (0:52:05) Al: Bought multiplayer. (0:52:06) Kev: Oh god, I already, there’s an Among Us in the trailer, oh my goodness. (0:52:12) Kev: Um, oh, uh… (0:52:15) Kev: Multiplayer chatting, I don’t know, okay. (0:52:19) Kev: This really feels like somebody said, “Man, I have so much fun fishing with my friends in Animal Crossing.” (0:52:25) Kev: I’m just gonna make a whole game about that, which is okay, okay. (0:52:28) Al: Yeah (0:52:29) Kev: You know, Sonic Frontiers has great fi- (0:52:32) Al: Moving on so that’s all the news (0:52:35) Al: We’re gonna talk about (0:52:37) Al: Living room, so I’ll pitch this game. I’ll explain to you what it is

[R]OHOTMU: Turner D. CenturyIt's the RETURN of the [RANDOM] OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE segment as Shawn goes it solo to explain the history and general existence of an arbitrary Marvel Comics character (circa 1986).Join as Shawn earnestly stumbles his way through the tale of Turner D. Century, the anachronistic Spider-Woman villain who rode a flying bicycle and had a flamethrower umbrella. This dude was raised in a full-scale Madame Tussauds and went violently bonkers on San Francisco all because of a bit of debauchery (maybe a lot of debauchery — still not cool). His biggest scheme involved the use of ultrasonic waves to wipe out the Gen X population of NYC, but, he couldn't figure out the remote, Universal Remote my ass!Be here next week as we pick up on the cosmic tale of early Silver Surfer adventures!Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Il arrive parfois que les comics décident d'embrasser de nobles causes. Mais pas toujours de la façon la plus judicieuse. Revenons à l'époque où Marvel pensait que la meilleure solution pour sauver la planète, c'était de filer des flingues aux dauphins… Si vous avez grandi durant les années 1980 et 1990, vous savez à quel point ces décennies symbolisent le règne des merdes en plastique. Depuis le succès colossal de Star Wars en 1977, et de la ligne de figurines commercialisée par Kenner, tous les fabricants de jouets cherchent la licence qui cartonnera auprès des gosses. Les Transformers et les G.I. Joe de Hasbro, les Cosmocats de LJN, les fameux Maîtres de l'Univers de Mattel, sans oublier le succès des Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles de Playmates, autant de bonshommes en plastoc qui envahissent la chambre des enfants et vident le porte-monnaie des parents. Paradoxalement, tandis que la promotion de ces nouvelles figures de la Pop Culture est assurée par des dessins animés diffusés à la télévision, c'est aussi à cette période que diverses productions commencent à sensibiliser le jeune public à l'écologie. De Captain Planet à Widget, en passant par SOS Polluards et certaines séries de Tokusatsu, les messages incitant les enfants à protéger la nature et la vie sauvage sont partout. C'est en 1989, dans ce contexte qui mêle surproduction d'action figures et éveil quant à l'importance de notre environnement, que Marvel Comics demande au designer Charles Viola de concevoir des personnages qui pourraient devenir une ligne de jouets à succès. Fort d'avoir su adapter en comic book les G.I. Joe et les Transformers, et de l'accueil commercial, quelques années auparavant, de la gamme Secret Wars développée avec Mattel, l'éditeur américain est persuadé de pouvoir vendre les droits de ses nouveaux héros à un fabricant de jouets pour une petite fortune. Il faut dire que, même si on l'a un peu oublié aujourd'hui, il fut une époque où la Maison des Idées était experte en matière de partenariats plus ou moins pérenne : de ROM le chevalier de l'espace, avec Parker Brothers, à Dazzler en collaboration avec Casablanca Records, en passant par la Saga de Crystar, avec Remco, Marvel Comics a, notamment durant les années 1980, multiplié les coentreprises à double sens, pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Le premier numéro de Brute Force sort en juin 1990, soit trois mois avant la première diffusion de Captain Planet à la télévision et plus d'un an avant son adaptation en comic book par Marvel, qui ne connaîtra que douze numéros, mais c'est une tout autre histoire. Pourtant, Brute Force n'est pas véritablement une série initiatrice de tendance pour la bande dessinée américaine, le Animal Man de Grant Morrison la précédant de plusieurs années. Elle est néanmoins totalement dans l'air du temps en ce qui concerne ses thématiques, même si son approche est largement perfectible. Scénarisée par Simon Furman et dessinée par Jose Delbo, la mini-série en quatre numéros s'ouvre sur l'attaque d'un laboratoire de la société Multicorp, dans lequel travaille le scientifique Randall Pierce. Une équipe de clowns armés jusqu'aux dents, sans doute échappée du fast-food du coin, fait irruption alors que le docteur Pierce pratique une opération extrêmement délicate visant à sauver la vie d'un gorille en le transformant en cyborg. Après que le commando costumé ait pris la fuite en emportant avec lui l'animal amélioré, Randall Pierce s'empresse de prévenir son patron, Monsieur Frost, qui ne semble pas vraiment paniqué par la situation, et lui interdit formellement de prévenir la police. Après quelques tergiversations d'ordre moral et un échange avec son fils autour des responsabilités qui nous incombent vis-à-vis de notre belle planète bleue, le docteur Pierce décide finalement que le meilleur moyen d'aller sauver son gorille est de transformer d'autres animaux, innocents et en parfaite santé, en machines de guerre. Surfstreak le dauphin, Lionheart le lion, Soar l'aigle, Wreckless l'ours, et Hip Hop le kangourou, voilà les cinq animaux qui vont former une équipe d'un genre nouveau : Brute Force !Désormais dotés d'une intelligence supérieure et de la parole, équipés de lance-roquettes, de canons lasers, et capables de se transformer en véhicules, nos cyber-animaux sont donc envoyés en mission en dépit du bon sens, sans aucune précaution ou prise en considération des dommages qu'ils pourraient causer. Des débuts difficiles, presque burlesques, tant les membres de Brute Force peinent à coopérer. Entre leur incapacité à utiliser leur équipement et leurs caractères incompatibles, cette première mission est un semi-échec, puisqu'ils ne parviennent pas à récupérer le gorille, mais réussissent tout de même à protéger le village d'une tribu amazonienne d'un groupe paramilitaire qui voulait les exproprier. On découvre à la fin du premier numéro que les mercenaires en question portaient de l'équipement conçu par Multicorp, et que l'homme derrière les malversations criminelles qui ont mené au kidnapping du gorille n'est autre que son président : Monsieur Frost ! L'épisode se conclut sur la première apparition de l'équipe de super-animaux antagonistes créée par Frost pour tenir tête à Brute Force : Heavy Metal !Un requin, un rhinocéros, une pieuvre, un vautour, et le fameux gorille capturé plus tôt, de “vilains” animaux qui ont à leur tour été transformés en machines destructrices.Dans le numéro suivant, le docteur Pierce se questionne sur sa décision de transformer les membres de Brute Force, tandis que les animaux cybernétiques apprendront à leurs dépens que leur nouvelle condition inédite ne leur permettra pas de trouver facilement une place dans notre monde. On assiste au premier affrontement avec Heavy Metal, qui a pour objectif de faire couler un pétrolier, et Frost parvient finalement à faire arrêter Pierce, qu'il fait passer pour le méchant de l'histoire. Le troisième épisode alerte le jeune lecteur sur les dangers de la pollution, en mettant en scène une créature mutante transformée par un environnement toxique créé de toutes pièces par Frost comme une simulation de l'écosystème du futur. Et enfin, le quatrième et dernier numéro oppose les animaux de Brute Force à de faux activistes anti-nucléaire, qui s'avéreront être envoyés par Frost, avant leur affrontement final avec Heavy Metal. Brute Force parvient à arrêter Frost avec l'aide du docteur Pierce, et décident de continuer à travailler ensemble pour sauver la planète, malgré leurs différences. Ironiquement, cet ultime épisode se termine par “The Beginning”, ou “Le Commencement” dans la langue du docteur Klein, mais la suite des aventures de Brute Force va se faire attendre. Brute Force est une mini-série pleine de contradictions. Pensée pour parler à un jeune public ; elle devait dans un premier temps être publiée sur le label STAR de Marvel, regroupant les titres à destination des enfants ; elle adopte pourtant un ton acide qui se moque des multinationales et de la malbouffe, dénonce les prémices de ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui le “greenwashing” et va jusqu'à traiter d'écoterrorisme. Mais, en parallèle, Brute Force passe totalement à côté de son message écolo sur de nombreux points, à commencer par la nature même de ses héros. Protéger la nature en transformant d'innocents animaux sauvages en armes de guerre destructrices, un non-sens total qui ne semble interpeller personne chez Marvel. Pas plus que de propager un message totalement idiot à base de “gentils” et de “méchants” animaux rempli de clichés éculés : le sympathique dauphin contre le vilain requin, l'aigle majestueux contre le vautour malfaisant, et ainsi de suite. Tout ça est justifié de façon plus ou moins implicite par une formule que l'on pourrait synthétiser en “c'est cool, donc ça passe”, une vision décérébrée - et typiquement américaine - dans laquelle la violence et les armes règlent pas mal de problèmes. Le scénariste Simon Furman et l'équipe éditoriale formée par Bob Budiansky, Tom Brevoort et Tom DeFalco se renvoient d'ailleurs volontiers la balle quand il s'agit de déterminer de qui vient telle ou telle idée. Un peu comme si assumer la paternité de Brute Force n'était pas la plus grande fierté de leur carrière, et on peut le comprendre. La série possède quand même quelques points fort remarquables, comme les dessins de l'Argentin Jose Delbo, qui avait déjà œuvré sur les adaptations en comics des Transformers et des Thundercats pour Marvel, mais aussi, dans un genre totalement différent, sur Wonder Woman chez DC Comics. L'artiste parvient de façon assez surprenante à donner un peu de crédibilité à ces personnages, mélanges improbables d'animaux réalistes et de robots aux points d'articulation similaires à ceux de figurines faites pour être moulées à la chaîne. L'ensemble est plutôt agréable graphiquement, tout en restant assez enfantin dans l'esprit. Le fond est loin d'être bête et la personnification des différents animaux est parfois intéressante, notamment quand il s'agit d'opposer leurs caractères distincts et leur soif de leadership. L'écriture très directe des personnages se heurte donc à un aspect visuel digne d'une série pour enfants des années 1980, si bien que l'on ne saisit plus vraiment quel est le public visé. Les aventures de nos animaux cybernétiques s'inspirent également de véritables catastrophes écologiques contemporaines de leur publication pour sensibiliser le jeune lectorat qui, avouons-le, est certainement passé à côté de toutes ces références bien trop sérieuses. Une dichotomie qui n'échappe finalement à personne une fois passées les portes des bureaux de Marvel Comics, dont la stratégie commerciale vis-à-vis des fabricants de jouets s'avère pour le moins bancale. Résultat : Brute Force tombe dans l'oubli pendant plus de vingt ans. Exception faite d'une équipe de monstres génétiquement modifiés créés par Arnim Zola et affrontant les Thunderbolts le temps de quelques épisodes, en 1999, il faut attendre 2014 pour revoir la Brute Force originale en action, dans les pages du premier numéro de Deadpool Bi-Annual. Engagé pour empêcher des militants écologistes de s'en prendre à un parc aquatique qui maltraite des animaux marins, le mercenaire provocateur va faire face aux défenseurs de la nature : les super animaux de Brute Force ! Un épisode assez réussi et plutôt amusant, qui assume pleinement le côté kitsch de ces animaux robotisés, et dont l'autodérision, Deadpool oblige, contraste fortement avec le ton presque grave de la mini-série d'origine. Quoi qu'on en pense, ce Deadpool Bi-Annual officialise le statut canonique de Brute Force au sein de l'univers Marvel, chose qui n'avait jamais été clairement établie auparavant, et ouvre la porte à l'utilisation de l'équipe dans d'autres histoires. En 2019, le one-shot Wolverine & Captain America : Weapon Plus éclaire le lecteur sur les individus améliorés de l'univers Marvel, notamment sur la création des animaux de Brute Force, mais aussi sur l'existence d'autres super-animaux liés au programme Weapon Plus, comme Weapon II, l'écureuil qui possède les mêmes pouvoirs que Wolverine… Et oui, tout est possible dans les comics. Le sujet des animaux modifiés par la science est d'ailleurs assez vaste dans la bande dessinée américaine. Rien que chez Marvel, on pourrait parler de Rocket Racoon, ou des Power Pachyderms, une équipe pour le moins étonnante constituée d'éléphants exposés aux radiations d'une bombe atomique avant leur naissance et ayant développé des super pouvoirs. Un seul numéro de cette étrange parodie a été publié en 1989, et il figure sûrement sur la liste des armes de guerre interdites sur le site d'Amnesty International. Dans un genre beaucoup plus moderne, We3 de Grant Morrison et Frank Quitely fait écho à Brute Force en racontant comment un chien, un chat et un lapin sont transformés en machines de guerre hi-tech. Une brillante mini-série, aux thématiques très actuelles, dont je vous recommande chaudement la lecture. Si j'ai voulu vous parler de Brute Force, au-delà de son aspect déconcertant, c'est parce que cette série est la preuve que l'on peut réfléchir de plein de façons différentes sur la BD, même quand l'objet de cette réflexion paraît totalement idiot au premier abord. Malgré ses motivations mercantiles et sa combinaison aliénée d'idées contradictoires, la mini-série de Furman et Delbo lance quelques pistes qui ne sont pas intéressantes et restent très pertinentes trois décennies plus tard, d'autant plus quand on l'analyse avec un regard critique quant aux desseins initiaux de Marvel. Qui aurait pu s'en douter en 1990, quand ça semblait normal de donner un bazooka à un ours ? Avant de terminer, si les thématiques soulevées par Brute Force vous intéressent, je vous recommande d'aller faire un tour sur le blog de Ecologeek, une véritable mine d'or en la matière ! N'hésitez pas à partager cet article sur les réseaux sociaux s'il vous a plu !Recevez mes articles, podcasts et vidéos directement dans votre boîte mail, sans intermédiaire ni publicité, en vous abonnant gratuitement !Retrouvez le podcast POP CULTURE & COMICS sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute en cliquant ici !   Get full access to CHRIS - POP CULTURE & COMICS at chrisstup.substack.com/subscribe

In this minute of Joe Johnston's 2011 film ‘Captain America: The First Avenger,' Colonel Phillips begins his interrogation of Dr. Arnim Zola. When Zola refuses to eat the meal Phillips brought, Phillips digs in.

Aujourd'hui, on va se pencher sur un pan tout à fait particulier de la bande dessinée américaine, à la fois politique, polémique et exotique : l'étrange habitude des auteurs de comics qui consiste à utiliser Adolf Hitler dans leurs histoires… Évidemment, au cas où vous en douteriez, il ne sera pas question de faire ici l'apologie d'un dictateur responsable de la mort de millions de personnes, ni du nazisme ou de l'intolérance sous toutes ses formes, mais bien de parler de comics. Pour recontextualiser un peu, Adolf Hitler est un dictateur ayant pris le pouvoir en Allemagne en 1933. Figure centrale de l'idéologie nazie, il instaure dans son pays un régime fasciste, raciste, homophobe et antisémite, avant de mener une campagne militaire à visée expansionniste dans une bonne partie de l'Europe, à l'origine de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Responsable de l'extermination de dizaines de millions de personnes, le Troisième Reich dirigé par Hitler sera l'un des régimes les plus meurtriers et liberticides du XXe siècle, avant d'être définitivement renversé par les alliés en 1945.Évidemment, je vous la fais courte, premièrement car je ne suis pas prof d'histoire, et deuxièmement parce que j'ose croire que chacun et chacune d'entre vous est au courant des crimes atroces commis par l'Allemagne nazie et ses sympathisants. Mais il est quand même important de comprendre que pendant plusieurs années, Adolf Hitler, les nazis, et le Troisième Reich ont été une menace pour une grande partie des nations partout à travers le monde, y compris les États-Unis. Et cette époque coïncide justement avec l'explosion d'un genre à part entière au pays de l'Oncle Sam : le comic book de super-héros. Quand Superman apparaît pour la première fois dans le numéro 1 de Action Comics, en 1938, le monde n'est pas encore en guerre, mais la situation en Europe est déjà bien assez préoccupante pour que l'air du temps inspire les artistes de comics. Le monde a besoin de héros pour affronter des menaces toujours plus grandes, et l'invasion de la Pologne en 1939 va offrir des adversaires de choix aux super-héros américains qui se multiplient à vue d'œil. Rapidement, le régime nazi, ses soldats, et surtout ses espions, se révèlent être de parfaits antagonistes pour les histoires de justiciers costumés. Dès octobre 1939, le deuxième numéro de Marvel Mystery Comics nous raconte comment The Angel a sauvé la population polonaise des bombardements allemands. Puis en juin 1940, Adolf Hitler apparaît en personne, sans toutefois être nommé, dans la toute première, mais aussi l'unique aventure de Marvel Boy, créé par le duo formé par Joe Simon et Jack Kirby. Le début d'une très longue liste d'apparitions dans les pages de nos comic books préférés. Je vous le dis tout de suite : il me sera impossible d'être exhaustif, car Adolf Hitler apparaît littéralement dans plusieurs centaines de comic books, parfois le temps d'une case, parfois en tant qu'antagoniste principal, et ce qui est sûr, c'est qu'aucun autre personnage historique ne possède une carrière comparable dans la bande dessinée américaine, encore plus quand on se souvient que l'on parle quand même d'un dictateur génocidaire. La parution de Captain America Comics #1, en décembre 1940, a marqué l'histoire et les lecteurs en montrant sur sa couverture la sentinelle de la liberté en train de mettre une bonne grosse droite au Führer. Héros patriotique par excellence, inspiré par le succès de The Shield, un personnage de l'éditeur MLJ apparu quelques mois plus tôt, Captain America incarne le tournant pris par les États-Unis durant l'année 1941, alors que le pays prépare son entrée en guerre qui semble désormais inévitable. Ce tournant est particulièrement visible dans les comic books : une bonne partie des super-héros du Golden Age vont traverser l'Atlantique pour combattre les soldats allemands, et parfois Hitler en personne. C'est le cas du Captain Marvel de Fawcett, de Namor the Sub-Mariner, de Superman, de The Flash, de Blue Beetle, du premier Human Torch, mais aussi de Black Terror, ou encore du premier Daredevil publié par Lev Gleason. En parallèle, des magazines réunissant plusieurs super-héros, comme Young Allies, All Winners ou Master Comics, multiplient les interventions de leurs personnages sur le vieux continent pour tenir tête aux nazis dans des aventures qui verront naître quelques super-vilains aussi saugrenus que dans l'air du temps, comme Captain Nazi, et tout cela avant même que les États-Unis ne prennent part au conflit mondial pour de bon, en décembre 1941. Hitler et ses soldats seront aussi moqués et parodiés dans une quantité non-négligeable de titres humoristiques, ou ridiculisés par les alliés dans des titres publiant des histoires de guerre, alors qu'au même moment, certains artistes sont mobilisés en Europe pour affronter les nazis, dans des combats bien réels, cette fois. Si ces publications peuvent sembler naïves, elles sont pourtant  l'expression d'une tendance propagandiste absolument assumée par la bande dessinée américaine de l'époque, encourageant les lecteurs en âge de s'engager à aller combattre les nazis, et ceux qui ne peuvent le faire à soutenir l'effort de guerre, notamment en achetant des “war bonds”, équivalent des obligations de guerre en France, pour financer la campagne militaire contre les forces de l'Axe. Après la mort de Hitler et la victoire des Alliés en 1945, une page se tourne pour nos super-héros préférés. Si pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, le marché des comics était à son apogée, tout comme le genre super-héroïque, et que Adolf Hitler représentait de toute évidence le grand méchant idéal, ne pouvant être surpassé par une autre menace réelle ou fictive, l'après-guerre s'avère bien plus complexe. Le genre peine à se renouveler, le public se tourne vers d'autres types de récits de romance, de western, d'horreur ou de science-fiction. Plus légères, moins terre-à-terre, ces histoires tranchent de façon nette et définitive avec la propagande militariste de la première moitié du Golden Age et invitent à l'évasion, loin des champs de bataille. Oh, bien sûr, les super-héros ne disparaissent pas pour autant. Une poignée d'entre eux subsiste, mais ils rencontrent quelques difficultés quand il s'agit de trouver un adversaire à leur taille. Une aspiration qui mènera généralement les justiciers et justicières costumées sur le terrain de la science-fiction, et même parfois de l'épouvante. Durant cette période, les auteurs ont tendance à restreindre l'aspect politique des super-héros, tout du moins au premier degré, mais quelques exceptions confirment la règle, comme Captain America qui, en bon patriote, affronte le temps de quelques numéros des espions communistes dans des aventures inspirées par la chasse aux rouges encouragée par le Maccarthysme. Des histoires revues et corrigées par Marvel depuis, qui nourriront quelques arcs narratifs autour des individus ayant remplacé Steve Rogers durant son séjour dans la glace… En parlant de réécrire l'histoire, c'est à partir des années 1960 que l'utilisation d'Adolf Hitler dans les comics devient aussi intéressante qu'inattendue. Le dictateur est mort, sa dépouille a été détruite par les Soviétiques, mais son fantôme va faire les belles heures de la bande dessinée américaine.  Parmi les premières séries du Silver Age à utiliser de façon notable et régulière le personnage de Hitler, on peut mentionner Sergeant Fury and his Howling Commandos chez Marvel, dont le premier numéro paraît en 1963, et dans laquelle l'équipe d'élite de Nick Fury combat les nazis en Europe durant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale. Sans en avoir l'air, les aventures du Sergent Fury et de ses hommes vont développer un riche background à l'univers Marvel, en donnant un passé de nazi à certains super-vilains que les Fantastic Four ou les Avengers affrontent en parallèle dans leurs propres séries. Car c'est toujours en 1963 que Hitler refait surface chez Marvel, et cette fois-ci dans une histoire de super-héros se déroulant à l'époque contemporaine de sa parution, dans Fantastic Four #21. On y découvre le personnage du Hate Monger, étrange individu encapuchonné haïssant les étrangers, et doté d'un rayon de haine lui permettant de transformer n'importe qui en forcené. À la fin de l'épisode, on apprend avec stupeur que ce fameux Hate Monger n'est autre que… Adolf Hitler ! Même si le mystère demeure, dans un premier temps, quant à l'authenticité de l'identité de ce super-vilain, on découvrira ensuite que le Hate Monger est en fait le fruit du travail du scientifique nazi Arnim Zola, qui est parvenu a transférer la conscience du dictateur dans le corps d'un clone juste avant sa mort. Une saga qui s'étend sur plusieurs années, puisque les détails du procédé ne seront révélés qu'en 1980, dans Super-Villain Team-Up #17 ! L'autre série Marvel qui réécrit l'histoire, c'est The Invaders, publiée à partir de 1975 et s'étalant sur quarante-et-un numéros dans sa première mouture. Équipe formée par Captain America, Bucky, Namor le Prince des Mers, l'androïde Jim Hammond, alias Human Torch, et son sidekick Toro, les Invaders revisitent les combats menés par les super-héros du Golden Age durant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale. Affrontant également Hitler et divers super-nazis, tels que Master Man, les Invaders sont à l'origine de plusieurs retcons, des corrections de la continuité de l'univers de façon rétroactive, chez Marvel. On y verra par exemple le Führer invoquer Thor, le dieu du Tonnerre, pour combattre Captain America et ses coéquipiers, à une époque où ce dernier n'était pas encore devenu l'alter ego de Donald Blake. Dans What If ? #4, paru en 1977, l'un des rares What If ? considérés comme canoniques, on apprend par exemple que c'est le premier Human Torch en personne qui aurait tué Adolf Hitler dans son bunker avant qu'il n'ait le temps de se suicider. Une révélation qui pourrait se raccrocher aux propos passés de Jim Hammond, lors de son retour dans le vingt-quatrième numéro de Young Men, en 1953. Vous l'aurez compris, dans les comics, le puzzle formé par l'alliance de l'histoire et de la fiction est parfois très complexe. Bien que les séries de guerre ne soient plus franchement le genre dominant durant l'Âge d'Argent et l'Âge de Bronze de la BD américaine, on pourra aussi noter des apparitions du Führer dans plusieurs numéros de G.I. Combat et de Weird War Tales, chez DC Comics, durant les années 70 et 80. Le cinquante-huitième numéro de Weird War Tales, série mêlant très efficacement guerre et horreur avec des histoires à chute dans la tradition de EC Comics, nous raconte par exemple comment Hitler a en fait échappé à la mort en 1945 pour se réveiller un millénaire plus tard. Dans le numéro 89, c'est à une armée de primates conditionnés par les nazis que le lecteur doit faire face, tandis que dans le numéro 108, un camp de prisonniers tenu par les nazis est la cible d'un commando constitué d'un vampire, d'un loup-garou et du monstre de Frankenstein ! Tout un programme, qui sera recyclé bien plus tard par DC lors de l'événement Flashpoint, avec la mini-série Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown. Toujours chez DC Comics, le All-Star Squadron, qui compte dans ses rangs des héros comme Hawkman, Hawkgirl, le premier Atom, Johnny Quick ou encore Liberty Belle, va, au cours des soixante-sept épisodes parus entre 1981 et 1987, croiser à plusieurs reprises la route d'Adolf Hitler. Cette série sans doute inspirée du concept des Invaders chez Marvel, mais dans la longue tradition super-héroïque de DC Comics héritée du Golden Age, est une assez bonne démonstration de la façon dont la bande dessinée américaine va, d'une façon tout à fait méta qui lui est propre, réécrire à la fois sa propre histoire et l'histoire de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale dans le but de fournir un divertissement super-héroïque aussi efficace que détaché de toute forme de réalisme. À la même période, mais avec une approche pratiquement opposée, l'éditeur publie les aventures beaucoup plus dramatiques du Unknown Soldier, anonyme défiguré durant la guerre du Pacifique usant de ses talents en déguisement pour infiltrer les lignes ennemies. Dans le deux-cent-soixante-huitième et dernier numéro de sa série, le personnage ira jusqu'à s'introduire dans le bunker secret d'Hitler pour éliminer le despote et prendre sa place pour induire l'armée allemande en erreur aux dernières heures de la bataille de Berlin. Comme chez Marvel avec Human Torch, les super-héros américains s'attribuent ici le rôle de sauveurs absolus qui, plus qu'ayant contribué à la victoire des Alliés, ont carrément été débusquer le leader nazi jusque dans son repère pour le tuer de leurs mains ! Tout un symbole, mais aussi une vision très autocentrée du rôle des États-Unis dans le conflit. Comme je le disais, il m'est impossible d'être exhaustif, Adolf Hitler apparaissant dans une quantité astronomique de comic books, des années 1940 à nos jours. On le retrouve dans Hellboy, dans Savage Dragon, dans l'excellente série Über, mais aussi de façon plus surprenante sur la route des Tortues Ninja, et même le temps de deux épisodes complètement lunaires de la série Turok de Valiant Comics. Je vous épargne la lecture de la série éponyme en six numéros parue chez Elvifrance en 1978, “Hitler”, qui s'inspire des théories autour de la survie du tyran après la fin de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, sans prendre aucune précaution vis-à-vis des faits historiquement prouvés. Mais je vous recommande de jeter un œil au O.M.A.C. de John Byrne chez DC Comics, brillante mini-série de 4 numéros parue en 1991, dans laquelle le héros carbonise littéralement Hitler. Alors, est-il finalement possible de considérer Hitler comme un personnage de comics à part entière ? Difficile de le nier tant son rôle compte pour certains éditeurs. Le Baron Zemo, HYDRA, et bien évidemment le terrible Crâne Rouge sont autant de figures liées de près ou de loin à l'existence d'Adolf Hitler et des nazis dans l'univers Marvel. Tout ça soulève d'ailleurs plusieurs problématiques assez intéressantes : par exemple, est-il moralement acceptable de se promener dans la rue avec un t-shirt aux couleurs de l'organisation HYDRA ? Est-ce une bonne idée d'acheter une figurine de Red Skull à ses gosses ? Le divertissement a-t-il pris le pas sur le contexte et l'idéologie de ces personnages ? Adolf Hitler a, qu'on le veuille ou non, un statut unique. Il est incontestablement l'un des pires criminels de l'histoire moderne, si ce n'est l'incarnation du mal absolu pour plusieurs générations d'auteurs, de dessinateurs et de lecteurs partout à travers le monde. De ce fait, son utilisation dans la fiction ne possède pour ainsi dire aucun élément de comparaison valable et peut avant tout être vue comme une façon d'exorciser la douleur et la peine causées par ses agissements. En montrant Hitler frappé, ridiculisé et mis au tapis par un coup de poing bien placé donné par l'un de nos héros préférés ou l'une de nos héroïnes favorites, les artistes de comics dédramatisent à leur façon en reforgeant l'histoire de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale sous un jour moins sombre, tout en transmettant les valeurs de tolérance et de justice chères au genre super-héroïque. On peut aussi déceler dans tous ces récits de fictions l'expression d'une forme de crainte du retour du fascisme et des extrêmes sur le devant de la scène politique, et ça dès les années 1960, alors que certaines catégories sociales jusqu'alors réduites au silence parviennent enfin, et non sans mal, à avoir voix au chapitre. De toute évidence, aussi triste que cela puisse être, la libération de la parole de gens opprimés pour leur orientation sexuelle, leur religion ou leur couleur de peau, appelle généralement à des réactions toujours plus spectaculaires de la part de ceux qui cultivent l'intolérance et font en sorte que les discriminations systémiques persistent. Pour moi, c'est une partie de ce qui est symbolisé par le retour de Hitler dans la bande dessinée américaine du Silver Age. Quand, en 1963, le Hate Monger utilise son rayon pour pervertir la population, puis révèle son vrai visage une fois démasqué, celui de la haine débridée incarnée, on peut y voir la métaphore des défenseurs du ségrégationnisme qui militent pour le maintien d'une différence de traitement entre blancs et noirs à l'époque dans le pays. Quand Hitler émerge d'un long sommeil entouré de fidèles prêts à le servir par-delà la mort et les âges, dans Weird War ou dans les pages de Turok, c'est une nouvelle fois un message d'alerte qui est envoyé au lecteur : même lorsque le mal dort depuis très longtemps, on trouvera toujours quelques imbéciles pour le réveiller bien volontiers. Évidemment, je ne livre ici qu'une interprétation globale, et assurément un peu simpliste, de récits qui, en fonction de leur ton et de leur époque de production, mériteraient d'être décryptés un à un. Mais ce qu'il faut retenir, c'est que bien au-delà de l'aspect exotique, et parfois comique, de l'utilisation de Adolf Hitler comme personnage de comic book, il y a un fond. Un fond social et politique qui permet finalement de chasser quelques vieux démons tout en faisant en sorte que tout un chacun soit au fait de leur existence pour mieux les empêcher de revenir. N'hésitez pas à partager cet épisode sur les réseaux sociaux s'il vous a plu !

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America:_The_First_AvengerIn the present day, scientists in the Arctic uncover an old, frozen aircraft. In March 1942, Nazi lieutenant general Johann Schmidt and his men steal a mysterious relic called the Tesseract,[N 2] which possesses untold godly powers, from the town of Tønsberg in German-occupied Norway.In New York City, Steve Rogers is rejected for World War II military recruitment due to his various health and physical problems. While attending an exhibition of future technologies with his best friend, Sgt. James "Bucky" Barnes, Rogers again attempts to enlist. Overhearing Rogers' conversation with Barnes about representing his country in the war, Dr. Abraham Erskine allows Rogers to enlist. He is recruited into the Strategic Scientific Reserve as part of a "super-soldier" experiment under Erskine, Colonel Chester Phillips, and British agent Peggy Carter. Phillips is unconvinced by Erskine's claims that Rogers is the right person for the procedure but relents after seeing Rogers jump on a grenade to save his comrades, unaware that it is a test. The night before the treatment, Erskine reveals to Rogers that Schmidt underwent the procedure prematurely and suffered permanent side-effects.Schmidt and Dr. Arnim Zola harness the energies of the Tesseract, intending to use the power to fuel Zola's inventions, mounting an offensive that will change the world. Schmidt discovers Erskine's location and sends assassin Heinz Kruger to kill him. Erskine subjects Rogers to the super-soldier treatment, injecting him with a special serum and dosing him with "vita-rays". After Rogers emerges from the experiment taller and more muscular, an undercover Kruger kills Erskine and flees with a vial of the serum. Rogers pursues and captures Kruger, but the assassin avoids interrogation by committing suicide with a cyanide capsule. With Erskine dead and his super-soldier formula lost, U.S. Senator Brandt has Rogers tour the nation in a colorful costume as "Captain America" to promote war bonds while scientists study him and attempt to reverse-engineer the formula. In 1943, while on tour in Italy performing for active servicemen, Rogers learns that Barnes' unit was MIA in a battle against Schmidt's forces. Refusing to believe that Barnes is dead, Rogers has Carter and engineer Howard Stark fly him behind enemy lines to mount a solo rescue attempt. Rogers infiltrates the fortress of Schmidt's Hydra division, freeing Barnes and the other prisoners. Rogers confronts Schmidt, who removes a mask to reveal a red, skull-like visage that earned him the sobriquet "the Red Skull". Schmidt escapes and Rogers returns to base with the freed soldiers.Rogers recruits Barnes, Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, Jim Morita, James Montgomery Falsworth, and Jacques Dernier to attack other known Hydra bases. Stark outfits Rogers with advanced equipment, most notably a circular shield made of vibranium, a rare, nearly indestructible metal. Rogers and his team sabotage various Hydra operations, while he and Carter begin to fall in love. In 1945, the team assaults a train carrying Zola. Rogers and Jones succeed in capturing Zola, but Barnes falls from the train to his apparent death.[N 3] Using information extracted from Zola, the final Hydra stronghold is located, and Rogers leads an attack to stop Schmidt from using weapons of mass destruction on major American cities. Rogers climbs aboard Schmidt's aircraft as it takes off. During the subsequent fight, the Tesseract's container is damaged. Schmidt physically handles the Tesseract, which opens a wormhole into space, sucking him into it. The Tesseract burns through the plane and is lost in the ocean. Seeing no way to land the plane without the risk of detonating its weapons, Rogers radios Carter and says goodbye to her before crashing in the Arctic. Stark later recovers the Tesseract from the ocean floor but is unable to locate Rogers or the aircraft, presuming him dead.Rogers awakens in a 1940s-styled hospital room. Hearing a radio broadcast of a baseball game that he attended in 1941, Rogers grows suspicious, flees outside and finds himself in present-day Times Square, where S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury informs him that he has been "asleep" for nearly 70 years. In a post-credits scene, Fury approaches Rogers and proposes a mission with worldwide ramifications.[N 4]Web: https://theguysreview.simplecast.com/EM: theguysreviewpod@gmail.comIG: @TheGuysReviewPod TW: @The_GuysReview FB: https://facebook.com/TheGuysReviewPod/YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYKXJhq9LbQ2VfR4K33kT9Q   Please, Subscribe, rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts from!!   Thank you, -The Guys

WHAT IF…? asks the big question: “What if we lied to you about this being an anthology of connected stories?” Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Danny are back to talk about the season finale to the Marvel Studios animated Disney+ series, “What If… the Watcher Broke His Oath?” The Watcher visits previous episodes (and one postponed episode!) to gather up a team of A̶v̶e̶n̶g̶e̶r̶s̶ Guardians of the Multiverse to face off against Ultron. Is it a fitting finale for the season? Would things have been better if they'd stayed disconnected, or does the cinematic Marvel Method make that impossible? And what's up with the Infinity Rules?

Today Chris and Daniel recap episode 9 of MARVEL's What If...? This episode is titled "What If... the Watcher Broke His Oath?" Summary: The Watcher recruits Strange-Supreme, Captain Carter, Star-Lord T'Challa, "Party" Thor, Black Panther Killmonger, and a Gamora variant who killed Thanos[a] from their respective universes to battle Ultron. Ultron confronts them in a universe lacking intelligent life, where T'Challa steals the Soul Stone. Strange teleports in a zombie horde, including Wanda Maximoff, who Ultron overpowers. The team goes to Ultron's home universe, meeting Natasha Romanoff. Ultron follows, restarting the battle, where Gamora's Infinity Crusher device fails to destroy the Infinity Stones as they are from a different universe. Carter helps Romanoff shoot Ultron with an arrow containing Arnim Zola's mind. Zola wipes Ultron's mind and takes over Ultron's body. Killmonger steals the Infinity Stones for himself, but Zola fights him over them. Strange and the Watcher seal Killmonger and Zola in a pocket dimension, which Strange agrees to watch over. The Watcher returns Strange, Carter, T'Challa, Gamora, and Thor to their respective universes. Romanoff refuses to return to hers, so the Watcher brings her to one in which the Avengers candidates were assassinated,[b] where she helps defeat Loki. In a mid-credits scene, Carter and her universe's Romanoff discover the Hydra Stomper armor with someone inside.

We appreciate her contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects, including Disney's Tower of Terror.”   “I am happy to have resolved our differences with Disney,” said Johansson in a statement released Thursday. “I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in years to come.”   Disney+   The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Involves a Major New MCU Character James Gunn @JamesGunn In my incredibly subjective & admittedly often odd opinion, we'll be introducing one of the greatest MCU characters of all time. #GotGHolidaySpecial   https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/1444366802411270159   https://www.cbr.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-holiday-special-new-mcu-character/ The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is a new in-canon adventure that shows the Guardians during the holiday season. Director James Gunn, who helmed the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films, will be returning for the roughly 40-minute short, which he says will be required viewing for fans of the franchise. Now, Gunn has expanded on his promotion for the special to reveal that it will also be "introducing one of the greatest MCU characters of all time."   Before the Guardians of the Galaxy take back the spotlight in their special, they'll be tagging along in Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder. The film is expected to come out on May 6, 2022 and features the remaining Guardians as supporting characters, with Gunn communicating with Waititi to ensure that the characters were handled consistently ahead of their next big screen outing.   The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special arrives on Disney+ in 2022, while Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 arrives in theaters May 23, 2023.     Inside Marvel's ‘What If…?' Finale, Season 2 Plans and the T'Challa Spinoff That Never Was https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/marvel-what-if-season-1-finale-tchalla-spin-off-chadwick-boseman-1235082366/ “There was planning to have Star Lord T'Challa spin off into his own show,” [Driector Bryan] Andrews tells Variety. “We were all very excited. We know [Chadwick] would have loved it, too.”   There's also a brief moment in the finale where we meet an alternate version of Gamora with a sort of space Tony Stark. Will we get to see more of that universe in Season 2?   Bradley: That's a definite yes. Basically what happened was we originally had an episode planned for earlier in the season that was a fun, light-hearted, living, breathing Tony Stark-centric episode with Gamora. However, due to the COVID pandemic, one of our animation houses was hit incredibly hard, and the episode needed to be pushed into Season 2, because it would not be finished in time. Given everything that we've all went through over the past two years, pushing an episode of television is absolutely nothing in comparison. And we understood. We hope fans enjoy the ride next year.   (2 Part Story) Marvel's What If...? team promises 'resolution' in season finale and teases season 2 https://ew.com/tv/marvels-what-if-season-1-finale-ac-bradley-bryan-andrews/ ...At least we know season 2 is coming since Bradley says that all the episodes of next season have already been written. "Going into the second season, we're sticking with anthology form, and it's going to be all-new stories, lots of fun, new heroes, and pulling more from Phase Four than we were obviously able to this season," she says. "Hopefully, we'll see hints of Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Black Widow characters. The fun of What If...? is that we get to explore the entire infinite multiverse, so we try and bounce around as much as we can. I want to play with all these characters, and as much as I love Captain Carter, we've got to share the love. I'm very excited to show new worlds, new heroes."   Bradley also hints that while many of season 1's episodes featured "big, let's end the world, let's kill everyone" arcs, season 2 episodes will "focus a lot more on the character stories and these heroes and showing a different side of them that people don't expect and hopefully they can relate to."   "We're not a show that's designed to set up Avengers 5," she adds. "It's supposed to be just about entertainment and what these heroes mean to us. When I took the job, one of my rules was let's be free. We're in the multiverse — we should be as free as can be and go and run into the wild, into the stories the movies will never do, into the stories the TV shows will never do, and show both Disney and the fans all the possibilities of these characters." What If...? Head Writer Teases Gamora "Prequel" Episode in Season 2 https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/what-if-gamora-episode-season-2-prequel-spoilers/ As Bradley explained in an exclusive interview with ComicBook.com, the episode recounting those versions of Tony and Gamora ended up being delayed due to production problems tied to the COVID-19 pandemic. But as Bradley reassured, that story is coming at some point in the series' second season, as a sort of "prequel" for her appearance in the finale.   "We definitely will," Bradley said, when asked if we'll see more of Gamora. "What happened with the Gamora episode, there was originally supposed to be — early on in the season — a Tony and Gamora-centric episode. However, due to COVID and production delays, one of our amazing, amazing animation houses around the globe got hit pretty hard by the pandemic. And we were left with two choices: push the entire season to later this year, or push this one episode to Season 2. We made the choice to push that episode to Season 2, and hoped that seeing Gamora in the finale serves as a teaser for what is to come. In season two, it'll almost be like a little bit of a prequel, we'll see how Tony and Gamora became friends, because those two don't even interact in the main MCU universe."   "Given all the upheaval that we've been through in the past two years, pushing an episode is nothing, and we completely understand," Bradley continued. "Our animation houses have been absolute rock stars in pulling off this show." ‘WandaVision' Spinoff Starring Kathryn Hahn in the Works at Disney Plus (EXCLUSIVE) https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/wandavision-spinoff-kathryn-hahn-1235082445/ A “WandaVision” spinoff starring Kathryn Hahn is in development at Disney Plus from Marvel Studios, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.   Hahn would reprise the role of Agatha Harkness in the series, which is described by sources as a dark comedy, though exact plot details remain under wraps. “WandaVision” head writer Jac Schaeffer would serve as the writer and executive producer on the project. Should the spinoff go forward, it would be the first project Schaeffer has set up with Marvel since she signed an overall deal with them and 20th Television in May.   FEEDBACK [1:13:38]   TWITTER   https://twitter.com/LegendsofSHIELD/status/1445896570143117312?s=20 Legends S.H.I.E.L.D. @LegendsofSHIELD Describe this week's @whatifofficial episode "What If...The Watcher Broke His Oath?" in one word.

But by this I mean what I would believe is the general understood definition: An official part of MCU continuity. Meaning, an official part of the continuity of the fictional universes which officially comprise the MCU: Earth-199999 and its adjacent universes confirmed as parts of the franchise. (In the case of the shows, the letter is specifically pleading for them to remain as Earth-199999, with the issue of shunting them to another universe addressed.)   OUTRO [1:19:15]   We would love to hear back from you!

The Watcher recruits Strange-Supreme, Captain Carter, Star-Lord T'Challa, "Party" Thor, Black Panther Killmonger, and a Gamora variant who killed Thanos[a] from their respective universes to battle Ultron. They confront Ultron in a lifeless universe where Strange summons a horde of zombies, including Wanda Maximoff who Ultron overpowers. In Ultron's home universe the team finds Natasha Romanoff, who Carter helps shoot Ultron with an arrow containing Arnim Zola's mind. As Zola and Killmonger both attempt to control Untron's body and the Infinity Stones, Strange and the Watcher seal them in a pocket dimension which Strange agrees to watch over. The Watcher returns Strange, Carter, T'Challa, Gamora, and Thor to their respective universes. Romanoff refuses to return to hers so the Watcher brings her to one in which the Avengers candidates were assassinated;[b] she helps defeat Loki. In a mid-credits scene, Carter and her universe's Romanoff discover the Hydra Stomper armor with someone inside.

This was all in the plan for The Watcher and Strange Supreme pulls Zola and Killmonger into his prison to contain them for eternity, extinguishing the multiversal threat. The Guardians return to their universes but Natasha refuses to go back to a dead planet. The Watcher opens a new door for Natashia to start a new life as she joins a universe where their Black Widow has already been lost. Back on the Lumarian Star, Captain Carter returns to her mission where a long lost surprise is waiting for her. Marvel's What If?

(What If...? Ep. 9) Kayti has some issues with the moral messaging in Marvel's What If…?, as The Watcher intervenes in Ultron's multiversal shenanigans without fully explaining why he took an oath not to in the first place, and as Arnim Zola (a literal Nazi) saves the day. Mike digs into some Marvel Comics history with The Illuminati, and Alec wants to know why no one is talking about the sexual tension between Peggy and Natasha. Kirsten declines to comment, but wrote an extremely horny review of the episode at Den of Geek just hours earlier. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today Chris and Daniel recap episode 8 of MARVEL's What If...? This episode is titled "What If... Ultron Won?" Summary: Ultron, having taken the Mind Stone and Vision's vibranium body, has defeated the Avengers and launched a global nuclear holocaust, killing most of humanity. Thanos appears on Earth to complete the Infinity Gauntlet, but Ultron bisects him, obtaining the rest of the Infinity Stones and using them to create a massive drone army. Ultron wipes out almost all life in his universe before hearing the Watcher and discovering the multiverse. He attacks the Watcher in his multiversal observatory. Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff, survivors of Ultron's universe, find a copy of Arnim Zola's consciousness in Siberia. They upload Zola into a drone body to try to destroy Ultron's hive mind, but this fails because Ultron has left their universe. Barton sacrifices himself to allow Romanoff and Zola to escape the other drones. Ultron battles the Watcher across different universes until the Watcher flees to Strange Supreme's collapsed universe to ask him for help. Ultron assumes control of the Watcher's observatory and proclaims himself invincible.

The suits seek declaratory relief that these blockbuster characters are ineligible for copyright termination as works made for hire. If Marvel loses, Disney would have to share ownership of characters worth billions.   Marvel Studios Has Over 30 Projects in Active Development https://www.cbr.com/marvel-studios-30-plus-projects-in-development/ When veteran Marvel Studios producer Victoria Alonso was asked by 221radio if the company had 35 projects in the works, Alonso laughingly replied, "We are currently working on 31 projects, don't add 4 more, please." If that sounds like a lot to take on at once, Alonso agrees. Yet, the producer went on to assure fans that the studio is prepared for some hit-or-miss projects so long as they stay true to the human characters and interconnectedness of the MCU.   "It is a question about how are we handling multiple plates in the air at the same time," Alonso continued, "and the biggest thing is that sometimes the plates fall, and, you know, what are you going to do then? We want people to understand that the idea that we have, to tell these connected stories, it is important that the world knows that the characters we create, their stories have to do with how humans interact with each other."   Disney+   Marvel's What If…? team reveals season 1 finale intel: There's 'a bigger plan' AC Bradley Admits … We kill Tony a LOT https://ew.com/tv/marvel-what-if-ac-bradley-bryan-andrews-episode-8/ Season 1 was originally meant to be 10 episodes, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic one of those episodes had to be pushed to season 2, and Bradley says the delayed episode helped balance the other, darker stories. "Our 10th episode was a more light, upbeat Tony Stark episode," she says. "I noticed on Twitter we're getting a lot of crap for killing Tony a lot. He has become the Kenny of the What If…? universe by accident."   The episodes have mirrored the comics by ending on cliffhangers that each tease a larger story. And it seems that all of those threads may actually come together in the season's final episode. It's also possible that the already announced second season could follow up on certain stories, while new methods of remotely making animated series may help the show to avoid the issues the pandemic has posed and craft longer episodes. For now, however, the show does still have one limit: the MCU.   What If...? Episodes Are Shorter than Planned Because of COVID https://deadline.com/2021/09/what-if-marvel-series-a-c-bradley-podcast-interview-1234843778/ https://www.cbr.com/marvel-what-if-short-runtime-covid/ "What If...? comics ended abruptly and really dark to prove that the main timeline is the better timeline," Bradley said. "We've used that as our reason to cut stories off a little bit shorter. All these episodes could have been 45 minutes. Some of the animatics were 35 minutes, but due to animation and Covid, we cut them a little bit shorter than we would have liked."   Disney+ Pushes Ms. Marvel to 2022 https://variety.com/lists/marvel-studios-release-schedule/ https://www.cbr.com/disney-plus-ms-marvel-2022/ https://twitter.com/adambvary/status/1440844586016927744 Variety Senior Entertainment Writer Adam B. Vary recently posted an update regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe's release schedule. "I've confirmed what was obvious to most Marvel Studios observers: [Ms. Marvel] has moved from a late 2021 release on Disney Plus to 2022," Vary tweeted.   This is not the first report indicating Ms. Marvel's debut shift. TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich previously suggested the series had been delayed until early a 2022 delay. Film insider Amit Chaudhari recently stated that the series was set to hit Disney+ in February.     Disney+ Removes Hayley Atwell's Agent Carter Short Film https://thedirect.com/article/disney-plus-removal-hayley-atwell-agent-carter-short-film Marvel Studios' Agent Carter One-Shot was completely removed from Disney+, seemingly across all territories.   In mid-September 2021, Marvel Studios' Agent Carter One-Shot was added to Disney+ within its own special section/page . Beforehand, the short could only be found in Iron Man 3 's EXTRAS section; Agent Carter has been removed there as well.   There doesn't seem to be any clear indication as to why Disney+ would remove a section solely dedicated to the Agent Carter One-Shot.   The One-Shot originally appeared on the 2013 DVD and digital release of Iron Man 3 and gave some brief insight into how Peggy eventually started up what viewers knew as SHIELD. From there, the Agent Carter ABC show was also born, spanning two seasons on the television network .   On its own, the One-Shot exemplifies the brilliance of Atwell's character; it reminds viewers of why she is now a returning force to the franchise and re-emphasizes her importance to MCU lore as a whole .   It's possible that its removal could have been nothing more than in preparation for bigger and better things to come for Peggy; maybe the streaming service pulled the gun and wants to highlight her more so down the line, possibly aligning with the Season 1 finale of What If...? .   Video Games   https://gamerant.com/marvel-vs-capcom-2-disney-capcom-revival-discussion-report/ This campaign to bring back Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 was started by Maximilian Dood, a YouTuber whose content revolves around fighting games. He started the campaign earlier this year under "#FREEMVC2" in order to gather support to hopefully re-release the crossover game onto modern systems. This caught the attention of Digital Eclipse, a studio that has worked with both Disney and Capcom to remaster some of its old games. Studio head Mike Mika showed his support for re-releasing the game, along with giving the game a proper remaster treatment. In a recent interview with Shacknews, Mika brings further thoughts to the table regarding how this re-release could be possible.   PlayComics Episode 91: Marvel vs Capcom 2 New Age of Heroes with Trent Seely (Continuity Nod) https://playcomics.com/marvel-vs-capcom-2-new-age-of-heroes-with-trent-seely-continuity-nod/     FEEDBACK [1:08:24]   TWITTER   https://twitter.com/LegendsofSHIELD/status/1441009180190642177 Legends S.H.I.E.L.D. @LegendsofSHIELD Describe this week's @whatifofficial episode "What If...Thor Were An Only Child?" in one word.

I think I'm officially over this series.   Beard Watch 2021 — 09/25/2021 Space-god frat boy holds intergalactic kegger does not make for a good story to me.   StargatePioneer — 09/25/2021 Overall the series is a light hearted campy ride that hits some weeks and misses in other episodes. Not to mention a few tragic stories along the way too. But I certainly would not take any of it too seriously. This week's episode especially was meant more as a fun dalliance than any other with events that could only be told via a cartoon IMO.   But all this is from a guy who like The Phantom Menace, dislikes Empire Strikes Back and is often wrong. So I might just be drinking the cool aid.   Erasure (Too Lazy !!) — 09/26/2021 That's on this was one of my favorite episodes too along with T'Challa Star Lord. And wow someone else who likes the Phantom Menace and Empire not so much Others do exist   TPM is one of my highest ranked SW films while ESB is one of my lowest.   Beard Watch 2021 — Today at 5:34 PM Interesting finale.

Ultron, having taken the Mind Stone and Vision's vibranium body, has defeated the Avengers and launched a global nuclear holocaust, killing most of humanity. Thanos appears on Earth to complete the Infinity Gauntlet, but Ultron bisects him, obtaining the rest of the Infinity Stones. Ultron uses the Stones to create a massive drone army, with which he wipes out almost all life in his universe. Ultron then hears the Watcher's narration, discovers the existence of the multiverse, and attacks the Watcher in his observatory. Meanwhile, Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff, survivors of Ultron's universe, find a copy of Arnim Zola's consciousness in Siberia. They lure drones there and upload Zola into a drone body to try to destroy Ultron's hive mind, but this attempt fails because Ultron has left their universe. Barton sacrifices himself to allow Romanoff and Zola to escape the other drones. Ultron battles the Watcher across different universes. Losing, the Watcher flees to Strange Supreme's collapsed universe to ask Strange for help. Ultron assumes control of the Watcher's observatory and proclaims himself invincible.

Tony Stark's tech experiment has gone rogue as Ultron, having taken the Mind Stone and Vision's vibranium body, defeats the Avengers and begins his mission for peace on earth. After his nuclear obliteration of the human species, Ultron begins to bring peace to all corners of the universe along with the power of the remaining 5 Infinity Stones taken from a bisected Thanos. Eradicating planet after planet only Carol Danvers in space, and Clint Barton and Natashia Romanov on earth stand in his way. While Natashia and Clint look to an analogue piece of tech, in the form of Arnim Zola's consciousness, to infiltrate and bring down Ultron and his hive; Carol decides to fight fire with fire but she is killed in a face-off deep inside the core of the planet Xandar. With his mission in the universe complete, Ultron hears the voice of the Watcher. Discovering the existence of the multiverse, his mission is suddenly renewed - peace in our time and across multiversal space. On Earth Barton sacrifices himself to allow Natashia and Zola, now in the body of an Ultron drone, to escape Ultron's drone army as Zola is unable to upload himself to the hive. Ultron is no longer just off-world but outside known space! Being attacked by Ultron in the multiversal plane, the Watcher uses all his power to limit Ultron's zeal to spill across universes and prevent their destruction.
