SPEAKER_05:Hello and welcome to Nine Justin Up Podcast. This is episode 263. You guys, I know you've missed me, and you are glad to hear my voice in back. The voice of wisdom.
SPEAKER_03:The town one. Can you hear a ghost voice coming in from the game?
SPEAKER_05:They've tried, they've tried to banish me from this podcast, but they failed. It was not possible. So yes, I'm back here giving you words of wisdom, insightful tricks, and all of what you need from your coming for content. And with me and the rest of the old men.
SPEAKER_03:I find it a bit weird. I'm speaking to a disembodied voice that's floating in the middle of the air from nowhere. But you know, I guess you can't you can't do more rubbish than you. Your plans did not work.
SPEAKER_05:Your plan did not work, and now I'm in and now I'm in weakness protection for the time being.
SPEAKER_01:Oh god.
SPEAKER_04:How are you doing?
SPEAKER_01:Um, this is what we get when we allow trans-dimensional trans-dimensional voices. Where are you even speaking from? Who's speaking?
SPEAKER_05:This is from 90. I'm in Lagos for the time being, so it's okay. It's yeah. But wait, you guys accuse me, but I need to address this on the podcast. You guys accuse me of being genocidal, being megalomania, and then the first week I'm not around, you both hash up a plan between the two of you to wipe out how many percent of the world's population by dropping them all bridges.
SPEAKER_01:Can you okay? So I know what you're talking about. Can you go? Can you name anywhere where we said we would kill anyone?
SPEAKER_05:You said you'd be killing people of bridges.
SPEAKER_01:No, was there anywhere we said we would kill anyone?
SPEAKER_05:That policy is the point where you go and clip that particular section where we're talking about.
SPEAKER_01:No, no, no, no. We said no, we said we will suggest wait wait. What to do?
SPEAKER_03:You said I should go and clip something after they accused me of also saying the same thing. I should not go bring evidence against myself.
SPEAKER_05:No, I'm saying bring evidence against against forget because it's old man bring it for getting clean sports it's no no no we talked that we talked about suggesting what people should do. Okay, okay. I like your I like your suppression of what's that will I've said that I've said that not that I'm trying everybody under the bus.
SPEAKER_03:I do remember somebody suggesting that a few a few million might be lost along the way. Very casually, why should a few million be lost?
SPEAKER_01:Um what what I said they will do some should do humanity a service and take themselves out of the picture, exit, yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm not I'm not killing I'm not killing anyone. I'm like, okay, okay. How can anybody accuse me now?
SPEAKER_05:No, you said you said you were gonna just straight up kill them because I'm more honest with my actions here, please.
SPEAKER_01:No, what's caveats after the fact after being proven guilty and being useless to humanity.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, fair enough. But yeah, that we're moving on this week. Yes, so what are we talking about?
SPEAKER_03:Right, so I I don't know why this came to my mind, but I just thought, what are the worst MCU casting choices that in your mind, you know, obviously everybody this is gonna be very subjective. I've got a few people in my mind, but I want I want to hear from you guys who do you think is what's the worst cast choice, casting choice in the MCU? And you have to give your reasons why. And so I wanted to go turn by turn, one by one. You have to you have to give your reasons why, and then see the other guys agree with you or disagree with you.
SPEAKER_05:Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay, how many are we doing?
SPEAKER_03:Well, I'd say we'll start we'll start with three, see how quickly that goes. I've got quite I've I've I've just realized I've got seven on my list, but I'm I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure some of you guys will mention some of mine, so I I might not have to mention those.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, uh, can you start us off with your most controversial?
SPEAKER_01:Start because that was just gonna steal my thumb down here.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, you go for it then. Let's say we're first choice.
SPEAKER_03:I want to see okay.
SPEAKER_05:Let's let's kick out the first choice because we all know there's only one number one choice that makes sense, and it's on the board, it's on everybody's list.
SPEAKER_03:No, okay. Red, you start with it.
SPEAKER_01:Let me see if it's I was are we talking mandarin?
SPEAKER_03:Oh that was not my list at all.
SPEAKER_01:Oh at all.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, it wasn't even it wasn't even on my list. Yeah, it was not on my list at all.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03:Um I guess you I'm guessing you're talking about from Trevor slash Trevor.
SPEAKER_05:So, yeah, this is where it becomes a difficult point for me. Yes, is it a pastor choice or historial choice?
SPEAKER_03:Yes, I have an issue with that one as well. But you you you go for it today. What's your thoughts on this? Oh, first of all, Red, explain to us why it's a bad choice. Sorry.
SPEAKER_01:Um, bad choice because great actor, yep, run casting, proper misdirection because um I was expecting something serious, and most people were. Yep, then it just became a joke. It was actually a waste of a proper villain who could be like real serious, and what we get is this um, I don't know what to even call it, uh, this travesty.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Um, in my mind, uh, because I didn't we just thought about this, so I didn't really dig deep, but this was the first one that came to my mind.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. And do you wanna do you want to count to that or do you want to agree with that today? I I am accountable for it, but okay.
SPEAKER_05:I I I get I get it, but I don't think it's a casting issue. It's the story, it's the story that is at fault because he acted the role of mandarin. When he was being mandarin, he was doing it already well, and then when he was treble, it was doing it really well. So it wasn't as if the actor was in mismatch for what they wanted him to do. It was that the story was terrible, and also okay, we're talking okay.
SPEAKER_03:Can I add to that as well? Technically, he was not mandarin. He's trevor. There was no mandarin. There's no well, no, there's mandarin.
SPEAKER_01:We've seen we've met Mandarin now, but he's he was not mandarin at the time, but at the time he was.
SPEAKER_03:We thought it was even within that film, even then it was acting, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:It was not.
SPEAKER_03:So by the end of the film, we knew we realized he's not the Mandarin.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_03:So technically, he was not Mandarin, so that's why I'm I can see why you picked him, but I'm thinking actually, but you you might need to disagree with the the the the writing choice, the creative choice, but he was not cast as Mandarin. He was cast as pretending to be Mandarin.
SPEAKER_01:I'm actually going to stand down and pull that back because um yeah, I agree with the guy. When you say casting, okay. So it was just that story, not bad casting.
SPEAKER_03:So I'd like to be clear. Mandarin in the MCU is that guy in Shangxi.
SPEAKER_05:The father.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, the father. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:That's the whole casting of Mandarin. Well, I can put that down as I can put that guy down as a miscast.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, is it? So today is that your choice? Is that what you're going for next?
SPEAKER_05:Um, it wasn't my original choice, but piggybacking off what together's done. I'll put that one down. I don't like it. He didn't feel tripping at all. He didn't feel it didn't feel like what I expect from Mandari.
SPEAKER_01:Not menacing enough?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, it didn't feel it didn't come across as menacing enough for that though. And this is the guy that supposedly me for thousands of years. I just didn't get the vibes or him like that.
SPEAKER_03:So, okay, you know, I'm again I'm gonna disagree with you, but my disagreement comes with caveats. The reason why I disagree is the story with Go Shang-Chi was almost at the end of his tenure as Mandarin, and basically what we saw was him being co-opted by I don't know what that that dragon thing was. I think from literally that movie we got, it's almost like oh I've stopped being Mandarin, I'm not in love. I'm I'm I'm I I'm literally in love with this woman uh uh of down twos, and then the woman died, and he started listening to this snake. So I don't think we saw it we saw flashbacks of his pump, of his rest of power, and but we never really said so. I don't know. I think it's a bit I I like the guy for the story they told. Okay. What I would say to you though is that we we've not had we we've not had a real proper Mandarin terrorist story.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah. Fair enough. Because even from the the backstory, the many scenes from the past, it didn't strike, it didn't strike me as mandarin. Yeah, even in the present day, this this guy didn't strike me as the guy that used to be that guy. Yeah, so question for tonday.
SPEAKER_01:So we we saw him briefly in Marvel, um what uh was it Marvel Zombies? Yeah, yes, maybe did you think um he was well represented in that?
SPEAKER_03:Is it is it no, it was like a dad, he was like a random dad. Okay, and yeah and guess what? The more thing about this as well. What we got again, and again this is I think story choices, we had a fusion of the comic Shanghi dad and the Mandarin character into one person. Yeah, yeah, okay. All right, I I I like the I like the I like the actor, but I I can also see your point today if I've been honest, that if if we're talking about pure Mandarin, we're never gonna see that that character. Now, I don't think that's the actor's fault. Personally, I think that's just the the direction they went with that character. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:There is that there is that aspect as well. The aspect of the character himself in the movie, yeah, the actor did not feel like that guy. Okay, he was never that menacing figure in the past to me.
SPEAKER_03:That oh, my father was the head of the or even when he went when he went into that canteen and killed those people who killed you with him then.
SPEAKER_05:I mean I'm not like because for me, Mother Mandarin has always been, or even that kind of character has not just been about his physical abilities, his fighting abilities. It's about the ruthlessness and the threats he represents with the organization he rules. I never felt that evil head of something from this guy, like this is the boss of all the assassins worldwide. So what's your first choice?
SPEAKER_03:For Hulk. Yes, I and my biggest issue is uh it's an issue of I've seen a version of Bruce Banner that I prefer almost ten times to his banner.
SPEAKER_01:Edward Norton or or Eric Banner, which one?
SPEAKER_03:No, Edward Norton. Edward Edward Norton. So who was in the MCU as the banner, I think it was a way better casting choice than Mark Ruffalo. I think Mark Ruffalo was just safe. I don't uh I don't think it was bad, but when I when when I compare um Norton's banner, it's like times 20 for me compared to Ruffalo's banner. Ruffalo's banner was never had that hidden menace. Even when even that iconic scene, that's that's I'm always I'm always angry. Yeah, fine, it's a good line, good scene. What I imagine Norton delivering that line. Not just look at the end of Hope, Lasson, when it opened his eye. Oh no, uh so sorry, go on, Red.
SPEAKER_01:No, I know I'm I'm actually I'm I'm actually trying to I I I'm trying to counter, but I really can't because I think at at the best, Ruffalo was in the first Avengers, yeah. And the the two times was somewhere was really menacing was um where I said it's always we're supposed to be menacing, was he's always angry. And when um Black Widow tried to go recruit him the first time and was like, Oh, what's gonna happen that you have guys outside? Yeah, okay, yeah, and he never really sold it. And yeah, don't be wrong, I don't I don't this guy.
SPEAKER_03:I think no, no, no, I get what you're saying. But can you imagine that scene uh the thing in India with Black Widow? Can you imagine that's Edward Norton?
SPEAKER_01:Edward Norton, yeah. So Edward Norton was proper, like, yeah, if this guy goes out of control, he's out of control. Yes, with with with Ruffalo, you can see that there's still there's still some control in there that he can pull back. I mean, yeah, I I was going to counter, but um I'm struggling to see to come up with a good point.
SPEAKER_05:I'm struggling to come up with a good counter. You're thinking Ruffalo's my counter, yeah. My counter is Ruffalo's oak was like a guy that found villain. He has gone to India, he has found peace, peace, yeah, he has found a way to maintain it, yeah. Yeah, to maintain it, to happen. He has a balance now in his life because Edward Martin's oak was at the beginning very angry, but the locality. Yeah, so this banner lacks that edge, but to Dark was point, I never felt Ruffalo was angry in the that that's that's the point, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:That's the point, and that's why I was trying to like look for a counter, but I couldn't.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, because like even if he has found then there's always that undercurrent of anger that follows his power, and Ruffalo never had that. He felt like a very safe, cuddly person that's yeah, just happens to touch a big green monster.
SPEAKER_03:Literally last week, I I I well, I didn't really watch a few, but I watched a reactor relative to that to the Hulk film. And that last scene, I I hope you guys remember that scene where he was he was doing he's left to control himself, and he was put and and and and last minute he's doing that brief exercise and then he opens his eye and he had his little smirk and his eyes were green. Even then, oh yeah, he looked menacing the way he looked at the so quick question.
SPEAKER_01:Eric Banner and um Edward Norton, did you feel Eric Banner was also menacing?
SPEAKER_03:I think Eric Banner, no, okay. So if if I'm listing my banners in order, Norton is at the top for me.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:I I I I would actually say maybe uh banner second. Uh Eric Banner. And then Ruffalo last.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:I I think I think Banner, uh Eric uh uh let me Eric Banner. Eric Banner as Banner, I think he was okay. I think it was slightly more but edgy. He was slightly more edgy, but he was nowhere near the edge of Norton.
SPEAKER_01:Norton is a comic book fan, also, so yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Okay. I would agree to that.
SPEAKER_01:I would agree.
SPEAKER_05:It's it feels like blasphemy, but I agree to that. That's why I did that. It would take a lot of people by surprise.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I wanted to count about okay. Uh, this one. Um, is this part of the MCU or not? Um Finn Jones.
SPEAKER_03:That was the one I saw your game for first. As I am first. I didn't even think about that. As IM first. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:That's what we give me.
SPEAKER_03:That guy's a thousand it's a home run.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, I don't I don't I don't even need to explain it. Everything everything was everything was everything was wrong.
SPEAKER_05:We've talked too much about him already.
SPEAKER_01:Like it's uh low energy, like his phone in it. I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, you know what? I I found a counter to that.
SPEAKER_01:To Chris Jones.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but you you guys might not tell me that I'm talking bullshit. What's a counter? Is that an MCU carton at all?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's part of the question. It's part of the MCU, I think.
SPEAKER_03:It became it was added to it was added to MCU. Oh no, it was yeah, but the people you put the people in front of MCU did not cast did not cast him. This was this was a Netflix. It's like um, what's the guy's name?
SPEAKER_01:This is why I asked a question.
SPEAKER_05:Yes, yeah, that will work. Yeah, I would allow it because it's it gives me permission to use my next my next one.
SPEAKER_01:I neck I neck I neck chairman. Okay, so I think we're all agree. We all agree on this one, okay.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I agree because I I like to include it because he he was almost like universally panned. Panned, yeah. I don't think there's anybody, yeah. If he if you added him, he he'd probably be number one list of everybody's list, actually. I can't believe that I did not even think remember him to add in.
SPEAKER_05:That was the that was the first one I thought Red was going to be where we started the he's going to my list at all.
SPEAKER_03:I didn't it did not occur to me at all.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, yeah. Okay. Mine, the reason why I'm happy to support Fame Jones being included on the list is the all the inhumans, all of them. I'll put them together all as they go. No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
SPEAKER_03:All of them? No, I'm I'm gonna fight back against that.
SPEAKER_01:Black bolt.
SPEAKER_03:Black bolt, no. If you don't understand, I put black boat in order. Is it officially allowed? Were they even MCU at all?
SPEAKER_05:They are MCU now. It's part of MCU.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it was also part of MCU that they got cancelled after that. No, but they were part of the the whole um Agent of Shields.
SPEAKER_03:Agent of Shoes, yeah, which is not canon. Isn't it canon? No, it's not canon.
SPEAKER_05:It's not canon, but for a while.
SPEAKER_03:For a while, there was a bit that was canon. So to be frank, for a while there was crossover between the two. Yeah. Then they they then they went too far and they said you know, uh basically made it clear that it's not canon. Canon? Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, okay, so carry on. So you that's why I was arguing that I was arguing for Twin to be included.
SPEAKER_03:Now because it f yeah you also said the cost, so let's be very clear. Are you are you really sure you mean the casting was bad or the story was all the biggest?
SPEAKER_05:See, the story was terrible, the casting was shit. You went from the first picture, you looked at this guy and said, This guy doesn't look like black bulk.
SPEAKER_03:So doesn't feel like you said all the all the humans, so you mean black bullshit, all of them. All of them, but if for this discussion I can bring out black bulls. This guy was this guy was a great cast. Maximus Maximus was a great cast. Maximus, okay the the I can't remember the rest go. Okay, remove him and let's focus on black roles. Okay, then I'll uh then I totally agree. But I wasn't feeling I wasn't feeling um Captain Captain Cook. I don't say Captain Cook. It's not Captain Cook. It's not Captain Cock, yeah. Um what was it? Captain Pike. Yeah, I was not feeling Captain Pike as the as as as Black Old at all.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, no, it was nah. Like if the story was bad, yes, we knew it was a completely shit show, but even the casting did not have much.
SPEAKER_03:I actually think I'm struggling to remember the guy's name. I think he's actually a good actor. But for that role, I think it was terrible. I don't think it was. I agree with that.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, I like how we're all in an agreement with today. That's nice. Is that what yours?
SPEAKER_03:Right, so no, this is this is obvious. I don't I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:So wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. For for for inhumans, yes, yeah, that's just the show. Do you are you cutting over to agents of shield?
SPEAKER_03:It was agents of shield.
SPEAKER_01:It was no because quick because quick, quick, quick is inhuman. Is that also bad casting?
SPEAKER_05:No, no, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not bad mounting quick. I love quick a lot.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, so it's not everybody, so it's not everybody. It's not everybody.
SPEAKER_05:It's black boat and the royal family. The royal family.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, the royal family. Okay, okay. Because Dais Daisy Daisy has Quake was was one of the highlights. She's amazing.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, she's the highlight of that show. She was good.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:Right. I'm going to go with a recent one. She's a Haas. Does anybody know who that is? I bet you don't. She's a Haas.
SPEAKER_05:Wait, okay, I know uh Captain Captain America.
SPEAKER_03:Yes. Yeah. So she she she she plays Black Widow. Yeah, she plays Sam, basically. Blackcaster. Yeah, I think it's one of the worst castings I can even think of, if I'm being honest. Look nothing like wine. Yeah, bastards. Oh, okay. Right, why? Um this is this is this is this is an honest podcast. And uh uh she did not she looked nothing like Sabra fiscally. She also looked like she looked nothing like somebody who was even who would be capable fiscally to do what she was doing. She the actress herself, um, I believe as a a condition, I can't remember the technical name of the condition she has, but basically how do I say this? While you're watching, while you're watching any movie, you're constantly thinking, is there something wrong with this lady?
SPEAKER_01:In what way? Let's dig. Let's dig.
SPEAKER_03:She okay, at one point because I was trying to work it out, even as well, you know, it was very distracting for me while I wasn't moving with it. I said I kept thinking, what is is it something wrong? I couldn't put my finger on it. At one point, I thought she was like a hunchback, literally. I thought she was a hunchback, but it wasn't that later on. I've done that that she has a condition. Um and I can't I can't remember the name of the code, but basically it means I think when she was young, she had some developmental issues body wise. So yeah, and and and when you're watching the film, then so it but it's not something that's very obviously pleasantly out there, but you just noticed that no, there's something. And I don't I just she did not feel you're bastard for saying okay. You know perfectly well what I'm talking about. You just want me to have my foot in it.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, and I'm happy you've done that enough. So that's fine.
SPEAKER_03:So I yeah, so I'm now it's funny because the whole sabra, when I grew up, Radio Sabra, I actually like the character. As I've grown older, and I've grown grown, I've learned the words of the world, some real some real world issues have now made me think of that character character as very very problematic.
SPEAKER_05:I mean, there's a way to make it interesting, yes. Yeah, ways to spin that character to make it interesting when we spend it.
SPEAKER_03:Well, they try to do that by saying she's if I remember, she used the Sabra.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, and so so she we never got her story. We never got a story, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Well, you say ex Sabra, also graduate of the Red Room, so she's she's a from the video program. So they kind of it's almost like oh they try to dial dial down the the Sabra connection and make it more about you know, yeah, I I thought the red room correct connection yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:I'm saying you can still have the whole Mossad connection and make that character an interesting character, so but that's that's the old other ballgame that uh it doesn't matter in the story, but yeah, nobody's I don't think I'm disagreeing with that, Red.
SPEAKER_03:I think Red might disagree.
SPEAKER_01:Um no, no, I'm not. I'm trying to figure out my next one.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, okay. So everybody agrees that she was a bad cast, yeah. Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, uh while Red is figuring out his next one. I'll just piggyback off that was one, yeah, because I'm enjoying this and go with Jack and the exposure to who has yeah, the captain is it sidewinder or bite called um can I ask a question?
SPEAKER_03:I'm not I'm not even gonna ask you this one, but I want to ask you a question was that bad casting or bad cutting of a movie? It's a bad what or bad uh remember they chopped his parts regardless of his top part.
SPEAKER_05:So even the party is there in, yeah, I didn't like him at all. I didn't buy him as this super spy cook. I thought it was either over acting with all the knives and everything, and the way he's talking, trying to form.
SPEAKER_01:I'm like, please no, it should not just be just it should just stick with the boys, okay.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, stick with your stick with your auntie villainy. You don't have that physics.
SPEAKER_01:That's Mandalore.
SPEAKER_03:Right, okay. So since you've mentioned so you so you've put two characters, so we've now got two characters in one film. Yeah, we think that we think are badly casted, right? Yes. Can I just ask one question from the same film again? Yeah, I know who you're asking Red Hawk. Were you okay with him?
SPEAKER_01:I don't mind you.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Um what's the guy's name? Um, what's his name? No, no, I meant no the first the the the old general ross that died. What's his name again?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, um the the um William William Hurt William Hurt yeah William Hurt, yeah, William Hurt, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Was it William Hurt?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:He's he's a tough act to follow, so yeah.
SPEAKER_05:And I guess in Ford is I don't mind Irison Ford in that role.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:Oh no, fine. Okay, so okay. Uh since you since we mentioned two cats for that's the film, just uh it just made me think about the rest of the rest of the film.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, Red, do you have uh yeah, I'll go with um what's his name? The first the first Rodie. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Oh I think flip it the other way around.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, you think um you think um Gl, uh what's his name? Don Chido. I think I think Don Chido stepped into that role properly. I like I thought that I thought Roddy was good the first time, but after watching Don Chido over time, can't think um, I think Rodie was um so technically I I prefer Cheetos.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I think Chido's to to Terrence Howard Terrence. But but I didn't think Terrence Howard was bad. Let me let me be very clear. I didn't think it was bad. I I preferred I I I prefer Chido, but even when I when I watched Terrence, I was okay with his performance. I thought it was so decent as well.
SPEAKER_05:So I could buy I could buy Howard and Tony being friends, yeah. But I couldn't buy Chidoo and Tony being friends. Okay, like it was harder for me to buy that these two guys will be friends compared to Howard and this thing. Tony, so that's why I prefer Howard. Because they both they were both alike, like they had that bromas going on, we had that yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:So it was like uh I no matter regarding my preference between the two. I I do not I do not support he's a bad it was a bad cast. He's a podcast, bad cast, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, I'm gonna stick around. I'm not gonna say I I'm not gonna buy it.
SPEAKER_05:I don't buy I don't buy it, I don't buy it. I like it. Yeah. So stop. I think it's your turn. Yeah, but yeah, you think hello that's right that way. That's not true.
SPEAKER_03:So I know you I think uh should I go with this one? Okay, you know what? Let me go with this one. Tony Stark. I'm sorry, not Tony Stark, sorry. Robert Daly Jr. as doom. We've not seen him yet. I don't care.
SPEAKER_01:No, what if it's what if it's a bit what if it's a variant? What if it's um I don't care? I don't know. They don't care.
SPEAKER_03:I hate the fact that we we have we have somebody who's played Iron Man and playing and it's the same face.
SPEAKER_01:I have a problem with that too, but we don't know how casting.
SPEAKER_03:Is that what you're trying to say?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, yes, but you can't call it you have more, you have more.
SPEAKER_03:I have a long list there, so I can easily drop in.
SPEAKER_01:Of people you've not seen yet.
SPEAKER_03:No, no, no, no, no. That's the only one that's the future, right? Okay, maybe that's run down through your list. Okay, so okay, look, okay, I'll run down this particular order. The next one I had on my list was Brilliant.
SPEAKER_01:Uh Captain Marvel. No. Yes.
SPEAKER_03:No. You you disagree? No, I don't agree. All right, yes, I agree. Oh, this is very interesting. I I would not expect any pushback on this one.
SPEAKER_01:So to the time I know, but I think she I think she I think she stepped into uh became a capable uh Captain Marvel. I don't see that as miscast.
SPEAKER_03:I I've I've not liked almost anything she did.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:I think the the least though. I actually I was actually a supporter of her one that cast at her, but I think she never got any to me. She never had any encouragement, even in the latest one. Uh none I never felt any commercial she had with any of the characters.
SPEAKER_01:The chemistry or okay.
SPEAKER_03:Chemistry or there was always this. I don't know how to describe it. There's always uh to be honest, I was even I was trying to defend her through Captain Marvel through the um and was it endgame?
SPEAKER_01:Through endgame infinite rules, but endgame, endgame.
SPEAKER_03:She never really sold it to me at all. And and and I would because I liked her as a well, I said I liked her as an actress. It's when you know you know the film I knew her from mainly before that. What what did you say? Okay, no, it's got it. You know, I wonder because I thought, oh yeah, this is good. And even when they're saying, Oh, she's got this bad attitude, I thought that would work because in the comics, Carol does have a very combative religious arrows. But I just didn't feel so okay. But since you both don't agree, that's right. I'll I'll I'll stand now.
SPEAKER_05:She plays it detached completely sad, and I don't know, there is the personality because we've not seen that. I don't we should not ensure movies or be. We see a marvels, it's I think Marvel's and our own movies and our own movie again. Yes, yeah. I don't know, it's maybe it's just the character I don't like or her. I think I'll give it to you, Doctor.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, you think you meant for dozen like it? Like for dozen that we can't like anything that character just because of the name.
SPEAKER_03:Oh no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_01:I'm not doing that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I don't know.
SPEAKER_05:I've got no issue with the characters, you know, yeah, so I was trying to see why I was trying to see why I would defend her, and I realized she's been in she has two full movies to herself and a big appearance in and what's her defining character traits? What stands out about her? Nothing nothing, exactly. So that's right.
SPEAKER_01:So you think she's so who who would have been a better cast?
SPEAKER_03:A lot of people are slightly, I like I like don't bring don't bring don't bring her.
SPEAKER_01:Don't bring Jina Kareno or whatever. No, no, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_05:Look, let me let me say I like her as an actress, yeah. I do too in other movies, yeah, yeah. And I thought in other movies she would have made a great caption marvelous.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, can I say something? Just slightly off tangent. I saw her recently in an episode of The Beer. Yeah, and I thought she was terrible in that one as well. But I think I think I think is what is is I think I think the episode of The Beer was bad anyway, if I'm being honest. And I and I think she was just sorry, okay. No, continue, please. So I don't want to blame her for that because even though I think she was bad in it, I think a lot of the regulars were even bad in that. I I think that whole episode was cheesy, overwritten, and overnight. So I'm not gonna blame her for that one, to be honest. No, but she was also in that very famous Thanksgiving episode.
SPEAKER_05:That's what I'm talking about. The one in season two. You won't season two, you don't like the episode. Yeah, was it season two? Yeah, the one in the flashback of the past. Where they are the mother, the five look five fish is oh I you know what?
SPEAKER_03:I don't I don't remember, I don't remember in that in the episode. I don't remember the episode at all. But I I know I know you want the one where the mom went nuts, right? Yes, that episode, yeah. Oh, okay, yeah, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, so yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_05:So who would you have casted?
SPEAKER_03:Right, so there's what when they announced the movie, there was one name that I thought she would be perfect for that role. Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt, because that that was just I think when they announced her casting. Oh also, not when they announced her casting, when they were they were talking about who to cast for the movie, this film, this film was out or fresh. Edge of tomorrow. Yeah, edge of tomorrow. And I thought the cast that she played in that role was perfect.
SPEAKER_05:Would have been great. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, I'll give this for you.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, okay. But remember, guess who guess who else was in the running for this? And it would it would have been a slam dunk for all birds. Who Charlie Charles? Yeah, that's what I've talked about Charlie's, but I wasn't talking about Charlize. I was talking about Sakov. Pete Sakhov.
SPEAKER_05:Now that you now that you keep mentioning these names, yes, I keep agreeing with you more. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I'm not gonna agree.
SPEAKER_03:But you know, because I'm happy that somebody that somebody stands up for her. Oh so you enjoyed your prof you you you've enjoyed the performance, Red. I take it then.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I have, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, the why the what made me sweet that I mentioned was because after two and elf movies, if I can't see one outstanding character trait from you, one defining moments from you from me as a character, then I'm not sure what to attack. I can't say I can't say because of bad movies.
SPEAKER_01:I have one for you.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, which one?
SPEAKER_01:Jessica Alba. Fantastic for Storm.
SPEAKER_03:That's the MCU now. Come on. That's that's not MC. That's what we said.
SPEAKER_01:So don't even oh the baggage, yeah. Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_05:That was that's fox, okay. And then and I like Jessica Alba, please.
SPEAKER_01:I know, but you like her storm.
SPEAKER_05:Oh oh storm. She was no, not storm, whom I'm calling. She is too so anyway, you're right. I like that. I like that. I like that storm, that costume did wonders for me, please.
SPEAKER_03:Oh god, okay. Uh so today, explain what's what was it about this uniform that did wonders for you?
SPEAKER_05:What the way she carried herself in it? She carried herself like the major fantastic one. You are not touching me on this, please, that boy.
SPEAKER_03:Oh god. Right, can I show another one? Yes, please draw two lists. Russell Crowe. Azus.
SPEAKER_01:Everybody uh nah, it's not bad cashing.
SPEAKER_05:It's not the entire movie was bad.
SPEAKER_03:Sorry? It's not his fault. It's not his fault. Why is it not his fault? It was the worst thing in a bad movie. It was worse, it was there for like five minutes. It was also in the end in the end credits.
SPEAKER_04:The movie is so still that you cannot separate the shit on the movies from this.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but they were they were told to actually so no no in that same film, yeah. You still uh this guy still might give you a performance um go because some dail, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, and it makes him almost turned out as bad.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Okay, so you're not agreeing. So you are not agree that Russia was a bad cast.
SPEAKER_01:I'm biased. Anything that stuck to that movie, I'll say bad.
SPEAKER_05:So uh no, because it's yeah, I'm not Ross, I'm not gonna be it wasn't it wasn't playing, it wasn't playing Zeus that we know from the comments. It was still taking a very comedic, very austerious, very stupid character. Okay, you know what?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, my my my my next my next person, you you you disagree for the very same reasons and for the for for exactly the same reason. Okay, definitely as um as as a grandmaster, grandmaster because again, it was cut it was cut to make to be silly by by the same by the same foolish director.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, so that's why for those characters now I don't blame the I don't see it in miscast. Okay, because it's the character is a knocking character, the it's a three way talk. So it's the director I blame, not the pastor. Like if it if they said okay, we are playing a serious grandmaster, and uh the actor is not living up to that name, then yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. I mean I I think it's a fair point. I've only got one left now. And I I'm I'm not even convinced myself, but I I felt I felt underwhelmed by this person. That's the worst.
SPEAKER_01:Remember her. I mean, when I say I can't remember, I have to you have to think.
SPEAKER_05:I mean it's I mean she didn't do she didn't do waspic things.
SPEAKER_03:No. She was waspy things. So she was literally in like the quantum like 10 minutes. 10 minutes in the of the second film, and then in Quantumania. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Like she wasn't playing, she wasn't playing the Wasp. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. But I didn't I don't I don't think she she brought much to that role. I'm being honest.
SPEAKER_01:She was playing Robinson Crusoe.
SPEAKER_05:There was no there was no role to play. There was nothing to play there. There was no opportunity for her to be bull wasped.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. That's my last honorable mention. Do you guys have any other mentions you wanted to bring up?
SPEAKER_05:The Bulls had three. All three of them.
SPEAKER_01:In four.
SPEAKER_05:Oh. Really? Exactly. This guy and the other one.
SPEAKER_03:I didn't mind them, to be honest. I don't think they had much to do to do. I didn't mind them. It's funny. One of them I put on the list originally, and then I scratched it out. Because that was that that's what made me bad. Which one?
SPEAKER_01:The girl.
SPEAKER_03:Idris. Okay. Idris. But it's not bad casting.
SPEAKER_01:That's him though.
SPEAKER_03:In terms of he he came and he gave it. He he he he he did what the role. I just didn't like the fact that he was casting in the first place. So I scratch that out as a bad choice from me. Yeah, so I that's why I didn't call him again.
SPEAKER_05:The next one on my list, it's RNT. Oh Eternals.
SPEAKER_01:Eternals. We saw him as uh Rosie. But we didn't see him nothing with him, though. It was just what he came in and no issue with him in role.
SPEAKER_03:Uh because he he was he was basically set up for uh a black light movie.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah I didn't really maybe because I'm annoyed. Maybe okay, wait, it's not him I'm thinking of. Who was the guy that played what's it called? Oh, this is a man standing.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, that's um that's that's not Kit Hart in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um that's what I'm thinking of.
SPEAKER_01:Which one which one are you talking about? Which one?
SPEAKER_03:He's talking about Rob's. He's he's not talking about let me get this right. Rob's I always get this, always get it.
SPEAKER_01:Rob Stark is name, right?
SPEAKER_03:Rob Stark is Kit Hyrton, right? Yes, yes. You're talking about John Snow. Snow is not a snow.
SPEAKER_05:John Snow is John Snow is Robin. You're talking about Rob Stark.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, sorry, you're talking about Rob Stark. Um I can't remember now.
SPEAKER_01:Can you believe this?
SPEAKER_03:I can't remember. We know we know that we know them by their fictional name. I know they're real names. Um okay, yeah. So that guy, uh I know, yeah.
unknown:What's he?
SPEAKER_01:Richard Mardin.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, Richard, yeah, that yeah, Madden.
SPEAKER_01:Because he has a he has a he has a sister who sings, yeah. Richard Mardin.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I didn't like you.
SPEAKER_05:I don't, I just didn't like you.
SPEAKER_03:I had no issue with it, actually, if I'm being honest. Uh Red, what did you what did you think? I had no issue with it, actually.
SPEAKER_01:Him being um, I think it was okay though.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because he was playing this like this almost like a robot known thrilling type. Yeah, I was I was fine with him, if I'm being honest. Yeah, uh, yeah, so I personally didn't have an issue with that.
SPEAKER_01:Um does this woman get does this woman get an honorable mention? Um is it Glenn Close as um Nova as Nova call was that bad casting?
SPEAKER_03:Or I would say it's wasted casting. I don't think I don't know if it's bad casting. I think they're wasted casting. I think it's wasted casting.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, just like within all these videos.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, you're most up on malficial. She could have done a bit a bigger role. They could have given her a bigger role. She probably didn't want it. But you know, yeah, I don't think I don't think she was bad carted, it's just that I think that rolls just too small for her. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, so I think we've exhausted the leads already.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, so I mean, guys, do you disagree with anything today said or do you agree with everything today said? Do you agree with everything I said? Do you care about what Red said? Let us know. And if you had if you've got other better choices of what you think is it's some obvious choices that we've missed out in terms because I think overall, MCU's actually been pretty decent in their casting. Because I thought I was gonna have a bigger, bigger, longer list. Um so just guys, let us know what what you think are the worst MCU castings you can think of. Okay today. What are we talking about next? Is he gone? And and and as a ghost from Lagos, it disappeared. I thought we lost you. Yeah. Right.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Before we go, there was something else we wanted to discuss, wasn't there, today?
SPEAKER_05:Yes, there is. It's a new thing game named Dispatch. Now, for context, I'm not a big gamer. I started seeing clips of this game a few weeks ago when it started when it started dropping, and I was intrigued by the premise and the storyline. So it's it's it's a telltale light game where it's a lot more story-based, and then you make choices around it. So it's like if anybody has played like Akam Knight and the rest of them, all those kinds of games, and it's also episodic in nature, 10 episodes. So for me, it's basically a TV show of a superhero. Workplace comedy. My the premise of the game is that you play a dispatcher where you sit in the office and then you dispatch superheroes to go and solve to go and solve problems. You are not you are not fighting yourself. There are not a lot of fighting elements in this particular game. The main core game itself is that you are sending out a bunch of different characters to go and do shit for you. And then you're trying to try and match the characters to the add to the task and balance out your team as we go. So already that's a fun problem. If I can play that kind of game for this, I love that kind of concept. It's nice. But why I wanted to discuss it on this podcast is because it serves, it can also stand as a superhero TV show, an emitter TV show all by itself. It's a well-constructed story from beginning to end about this particular character, Mecca Man, who loses his suit and then has to start dispatching people and then dealing with office romance, trying to motivate his team, review this suit and figure out what is what happened in the first place. And then you make different choices that guide you towards different conclusions and different ways the story played out at the end. So, yeah, I started playing this game when it was dropping, and I loved it absolutely. And I started asking Dark Well and the rest of the team to join me in playing it. Dacquell, you did so. What was your impression?
SPEAKER_03:Yes, I played it. Right. So just to add to what you said, this was 10 episodes. Was it 10 episodes or eight? So eight, eight episodes. Eight episodes, yeah. It was eight episodes. Um, yeah, as you said, you're right, it's very, it's very TV, like a TV show about this. This everything that you said is correct. And uh just before I make my views on this thing, I'm not again, I'm not a big gamer at all. I I've not even I don't think I've games in over a year. And when I when I used to game, I only used to play certain games. I'm not I'm not a big gamer, but I do when I do, I do enjoy games. Now, when I saw I've heard a lot about this game, I saw some trailers. Obviously, I'm a very big superhero buff. And the lot of the advertisements showed that this is a setting a superhero world with superheroes, and you are dispatching superhero to go and deal with threats. And then today you started playing it, and you told me about it as well. And and to be honest, I think everything about this game was enough to drag me into it. I thought, oh, this looks like something I will enjoy. I just want to make the point that so I paid£24 for this game.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I remember this. Somebody posted a trailer.
SPEAKER_03:Yes. Yeah, I did.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember it now.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I paid£24 for this game, and I think I played it over a week and I was done. So before I go to the details of this review, I'm gonna put it out the first. I think this game was a scam.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, you want your money back? I mean, would you would you ask for your money back, or would you say it's money well spent?
SPEAKER_03:It's not it's not money well spent, in my view.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:I think this is a way to me, you made a TV show, a 10-episode TV season, and then you charge me 24 pounds to watch it one season of one episode of one show. The interaction I have with this game, this so basically what uh then red, when you play this game, there's certain points where you you you make choices of what certain characters will say, and it and it changes the actions. But but again, no, it's a it's a facade. Those actions, they always go back to where they wanted to go back to.
SPEAKER_01:I could tell somebody so they're not real choices.
SPEAKER_03:There's no real choices.
SPEAKER_05:That boy, they are real choices in some areas. No, I don't really know. Like depending on depending on the choices you make, the ending is going to be different. Like, I went back to check the different choices different people make, and they're always like they're different endings.
SPEAKER_01:Could you could you go back and like we start an episode and change your actions?
SPEAKER_03:Let me ask a question for you You said there are different endings. I bet you the main ending, the main core element of the end of the thing. What what might change is the character you sat off because one of the one of the main the sub pot lines, you have to get rid of one character.
SPEAKER_05:Well, so when I say like different endings, yes, or depending on the choice you make, one of your main characters either goes to jail, yes, becomes on or not, that's an ending. Yes, it changes who you end up with, like okay, who you are fighting, but the main story is still with you, which the core story line.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, yes, you yeah, it's like it's like you're changing you might change the outcome of the of the of the B story, of two or three B stories, but the main core where where the whole arc is going will never change.
SPEAKER_01:So, question could you could you restart an episode and make different charts?
SPEAKER_03:I believe so, yeah. Yes, yeah, you can. Yeah. I have no interest in playing it again.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:You have no interest in doing that.
SPEAKER_03:Also, and this might be about a and because I've not played games in a while. In part of the elements of this game, so where you're actually gaming is the when the when the dispatch? So yeah, so it's three things in my mind. There's when you make choices of how you react to something, which can change the storylines that today we just discussed. There's when you're dispatching heroes, yeah. You have to use combination of the heroes to dispatch them, and you and you might be very successful, you might be bad, depending on how good you are aligning the threats to the heroes that you send to those threats. You know, so there's that element, and then there's the now, this is the element that really frustrates me a lot. Because you don't get enough time to do it to get good at it. There's there's some there's some places where you have to hack stuff or you have to uh code stuff.
SPEAKER_05:Uh you can't change okay, you could probably have changed the session for that. There's a session in the game where you can change that to allow you unlimited trials.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, so you can okay, yeah. So that bit is the one bit where I thought you really your your your input really matters. But it so actually let me let me let me let me rephrase that. It doesn't really matter. It doesn't really matter. That's what I was gonna say before you but when you're doing it, it's almost like a game you can get invested in. Yeah, it's something that oh okay, yeah, this is this is a little puzzle you need to solve. And and it's kind of puzzles I love solving. But time run out. And because you only tend to do you only tend to get to do it twice in an episode, I think. You don't get enough twice to become good at it. And the thing is, I was better at it in the beginning, and then as it got harder, uh you get worse. I could not even do any of them towards the end. I was failing so bad, I was getting frustrated of that.
SPEAKER_05:So I think so you can have said that to the said that to the unlimited tries because you like that particular part of the game and try it because it's a lot more fun that way to figure it out. But I hate the fact that the timer was out while I'm still trying to figure out I'm not against an angle, the layout and the time is already.
SPEAKER_03:Exactly. You start thinking, oh, okay, this is what oh, this is what I need to do, and time is gone. Yeah, you know, so that now the dispatching of heroes to make threats. Yeah, do you know it took me uh uh I'm so stupid? Do you know it took me almost two episodes to realize that uh okay calm down, you don't need to send everybody to every threat.
SPEAKER_04:You can send one to a threat. You're gonna send one to that threat, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:No, no, no. I wouldn't even send everybody, but what meant is you could actually ignore some threats because they don't count. I didn't realize that. Oh, really? Yeah, because some of those threats are not even threats. Some of them are like, I need somebody to come and speak here. I need somebody to come and if you send somebody there, you send somebody to those two, you're two men now. And then a threat comes out. You you I I didn't you could have sent three people if you wanted to to make sure you overcome it. So there was all those people, you know. But overall, I thought this game had potential, but I think this was almost like in my view, a a a beta version of this game, of this game to what a real game of this should be. I would play a real proper more in-depth detailed version of this game. I would play it, but as it stands now, I thought this was just a ripoff.
SPEAKER_05:Fair enough. I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed, I think I enjoyed the TV show elements a lot, the story elements a lot. The workplace comedy, I was invested in that particular story, even though like you said, okay.
SPEAKER_03:So can I stop you there now? Yeah, you I think this story was good enough to be on Netflix.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, you know that's why I wanted everybody to play the game because yeah, this for the story itself.
SPEAKER_03:And the art, I I even like the art a lot. I won't even lie. I like the art. It is. I like the art.
SPEAKER_05:I wish I wish they could drop, like they could drop a standalone video movie of this game, like of what they consider the canon playthrough of this game, and drop it on Netflix or drop it on something. I would love to watch it.
SPEAKER_03:I and funny enough, oh, also also read. So there's a character in this game, but and I'm guessing it's it's part of the design of the game. When when when I started playing this game, uh, and I was thinking you have a choice of who you're gonna make the the main person. Uh, I'm not talking about the actual Mecha man who's the main character, but there's like a side a side female character that you could choose. Oh no, I thought I didn't know it's only two. I thought there's you could pick a side character that's gonna you're gonna instantly I was drawn to one particular character. Almost instantly. Of course. Of course. But then you don't realize that you realize actually that character is designed to for you to be drawn to her. It was almost like it's not even a choice. Which one? Invisigal. The boss or the Invisigal. Yeah. Quickly, quick, quickly, it was you you drew down onto Invisigal, and then they tried to make Invisigal versus the boss. But to me, I would love to know how many people would even choose the boss. I did. I went to the boss every single time. Now I know every single time. I know there's something wrong with you. Uh every single time. That was the better character. That has a better story. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_01:Does it take you longer to finish if you do that?
SPEAKER_05:No, it's still the same length of game, but like it's a completely different ending if you go with the boss versus if you go with Invisigar.
SPEAKER_03:I was if it's Invisigir from the from the get-go. Before I realized that oh, okay, it's only gonna be between her and because initially when you meet the team, I was thinking Yeah, there are other options, yeah. But then quickly you realize and she's the main focus of the game.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, so Invisigal is the main focus of the game, like she's a story, uh, redemption story. So okay, so for we should have said this from the beginning. The team is leading is a team made up of former villains. Oh, yes, yes. Former reformed villains that are trying to become heroes now. So they are basically called the Z team, this is the team. And he's being called into like this parts and coach them, and he's also responsible for firing them, like the case where he has to fire the lowest platform and all of that. So while bonding with the team, and that's like the core story of the game. So invisible is like the problem case, yeah, and you are given so many options to be nice, like to try and get well, not to be game, but at least try and get back in. And depending on the choices you make, she might either end up being part of the team or like you should pass the lane for future stories.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, continue that one. No, no, I was so even when I was playing this, I think I thought this is a bit of a ripoff, you know. So I I I ended up playing it. I I decided I started very early on that you know what? Oh, because I'm I'm a I'm a Mac user, you can't use Steam directly on Mac. So I had to buy what you call a bridge. But that bridge was a free trial for 11 days. So immediately I said, Oh shit, I need to finish this on time. But then I realized actually you can easily do two or three episodes a day if you wanted to. I I I did I'll do one episode a day. I think I've wanted two straight after another hour, but then I just do one episode a day because you know when I realized that I've got 11 days to finish the game, because the game you could finish it in within each episode, I don't know, I would I wouldn't even say half an hour. 20 minutes, or what do you think?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah, yeah. 20 minutes. The game and the the short videos are with it.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but uh so yes, for me, while I kind of enjoyed it a bit, I think it was uh I don't think it was 24 worth 24 quid.
SPEAKER_05:So no, removing the remove why if it was just the game, I won't have put on the podcast. It's the story itself, it was as a TV show. Oh, yes. What did you think? Yes.
SPEAKER_03:No, that to me that's a strong that was the strongest element. The storyline went through the even the characters, the character design and the and the character's personalities. It's weird and red. This was so well.
SPEAKER_01:No, I remember I remember the I remember the trailer.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. The cards are very well developed. They've all got good stories, good backline, and different personalities. It should be a TV show. After like maybe two years, they should just remove all the game elements, then rewrite it and just release it. I think it'll do well. Yeah, it's good enough.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. Those copies have been trying to do down to earth, like storage of low states, heroes and villains, and this is like perfect elements for that. Unique characters, low states, they're just getting their workplace drama on. Basically, the office in Supernaval.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, in a way, yes. In a way, yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:So I would want someone to do this. Maybe in MCU or DCU or not type checkmates. Or even this one as a standalone world.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I think this this guy should just do theirs. Yeah, do theirs. You know, there's some characters that I like. I I love the the demon type one. Of course.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, that was my favorite character.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I love that character. I I I weird enough. I use Waterboy. There's a character called Water Boy. It's very useless. But I've you picked him over the Superman. Yeah, I picked him.
SPEAKER_01:How many how many characters are there? Well, there's quite a few.
SPEAKER_05:So yeah, so you have a team of once a starting. Yeah. Yourself, you have a team of like six, seven shield villains, taunt heroes that you are managing. There's your boss.
SPEAKER_01:You manage villains also.
SPEAKER_05:No, they are. Yeah, your team is a team of formal villains, taunt heroes.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, formal. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah. You manage them, there's the yeah. There's a boss, there's the boss's boyfriend. These are all super boyfriends. They're all superheroes, yeah. And yeah. And then there's this there's this other boy who's like the the usual the most usually one. Yeah, I picked him. Did you pick did you pick the boyfriend? No, I picked others. I picked other boy. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's what I did as well.
SPEAKER_05:Because apparently, if you pick this, if you pick the boyfriend, it has the biggest stats, but it just doesn't it just doesn't go on missions. Oh, yeah. It's too depressed.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because I mean one point, one time he came and joined the team anyway. And you say go there, you say no. You gotta die now. Why are you saying no to me?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, he'll he'll he can he can he can turn you down. Yeah, he can refuse.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. He said, I'm not going. Yeah, he I think the most powerful. So you have been dispatching some of the other power to know that you've got this guy in your pocket. If something big comes up, and it comes up and you say go, and he says no. So you then you fade that mission.
SPEAKER_01:And if you don't, if it doesn't go, do you have a way to punish him?
SPEAKER_03:No, you no, no, no. No, you you you just failed that mission. That mission is failed. It can't against your stats. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Right. Well, yeah, that's it about this part. I think I like a refreshing superhero stories and this part refreshing, especially with people saying we've seen it all in terms of what superheroes can be done. So I like to have like this, and I really enjoyed it. So, but yeah, I'll play shipping too when it comes out.
SPEAKER_01:Definitely. I'll be skipping.
SPEAKER_03:I'm definitely not paying too. I'm not paying that amount of money unless it's free. I'm not playing to f quid for something that will I could play that game one day and it'll be done. If I if I was on Saturday, I had nothing to do, I could finish that whole game half the day.
SPEAKER_05:Fair. That's perfectly fair. But I like this story enough to play.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but oh, uh and obviously, if you if you buy when it's released, you can't even you can't do that because they were releasing each chapter. Yeah, they released two episodes. They were doing it drops two episodes per week. But I I got it, I I I bought it when it was all out.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:But yeah, so that's it about dispatch. If you played it, let us know what you think. Otherwise, that would be awful this week.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I think that's the first time I think that's first time we've ever spoken about a game on this podcast.
SPEAKER_05:I mean, we're not mostly gamers here. If Kirk is the big game, I think, amongst all of us. Yeah, but is it I think maybe not a big gamer, but I think in games it boots. I might by myself.
SPEAKER_03:If I if I get a Spider-Man, another superhero game, or I don't know what game I want to play next. If I want to if I'm gonna get it.
SPEAKER_05:If you want to get into games, go and play Spider-Man. Consistently the best superhero games have been Spider-Man games.
SPEAKER_03:You know, I was playing that uh well, I have it on PS. Yeah, yeah, and I really, really enjoyed it. But you know, funny enough, I don't I don't I don't think we ever finish it. I remember something happened, and that's book. You know, when you play you start playing the game and you're getting into the vibe, you're playing it where you want to, and then I think I had to travel. And then when I came back, I didn't go back onto it. So I didn't go back onto that game almost like seven months later. And of course I was saved to a certain point, but all the skills of our gathered was gone. So and I was at the point where you need you needed those skills to overcome. So I had two choices either go and start again, yeah, or try and try and keep on trying that particular I and then I got frustrated because I don't want to go back to the beginning.
SPEAKER_05:That's how I definitely game. But then you can try the Akram Knights, the Akram Knights series.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, I love Akram Knights. I played yeah, I played the first two, I think. Is it only two? No, there's more than two. I played the first one, I played Tusha of those games. I like that one. I I used in a way the Spider-Man game's similar to it. You know, yeah, I like that way you can pick the moves, you you know, yeah, I I really enjoyed those games, I won't even lie. That was a good game, man. I mean, generally my my I think my favorite games always tend to be uh uh I won't see what the technical call call is FPS FPS uh first person shooter, yes. So so like that's called things like Call of Duty, fix that Halo, Halo and Call of Duty are the two games I used to always get and always finish and always complete.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, yeah, I don't I don't see myself going back to Garrin. Okay, I don't have the discipline to stay away, so once I start at that side, you can play this part, it's not that deep, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:It's not that deep.
SPEAKER_01:I'm not paying, I'm not paying money now.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's easy. Yeah, you you you finish it. It's it's anyway, it's very easy, even though I was feeling a lot. It's very easy to complete. I'm not saying it's very easy to complete at the and get a good score. But you'll play. I mean you will definitely complete it. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. I think that's it for this week.
SPEAKER_03:Right. Uh so next week we'll we'll we'll we'll be back next week. Uh next week is it's like will be the 8th of December. Then we have I'll try to work out our Christmas schedule.
