No, it'll be 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.439 his past birthday. I can't do time. Whenever you listen 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.200 to this, it will be a week from his birthday. Um, 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.560 but hopefully everyone gave if he a lot of love. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.760 He did post a huge thirst trap. If you didn't 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.760 see it, it is still probably up on all of 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.800 his social media pages. You can't miss it. It literally 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:45.000 kept popping up into my timeline multiple times. But um, 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:48.479 here at Nerdificent, we are pro thirst trap a thousand percent. 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:53.640 I am joined today by the owner of the Perky 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.000 Nerd Comic book shop, a place that I love, a 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.240 place that I love to go to shop at, a 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.360 place that has arch shows that really is just such 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.360 a huge part of the community that if he and 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.760 I actually we got to film a piece that was 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.880 um that was funded by Marvel there at the Perky 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.960 Nerd um with a lot of actors and writers of color, 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:20.199 and that is Tiffany Melius. Hi Did I say that right? Yes? Okay, 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:25.240 perfect Melius. Sometimes I don't even say right you are 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.039 you are covered head to toe and Captain Marvel because 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.200 we're talking about Captain Marvel. I love all this stuff 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.039 that you have and the comic books that you brought. 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.399 I was like, should I bring a reference? I don't know? 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.000 You know? Do you know Hector Navarro? I feel like 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.160 you do. You probably have met him. He's at d 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.240 C Daily and I think he's done stuff over at 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.920 the Perky Nerd. Um. But he will bring his comics too, 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.840 and he is known as like a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.360 so he doesn't technically ever look have to like actually 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.760 look at him. But when he wants to really prove 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:03.280 a point, he knows exactly in his comics where that is. Yeah, So, um, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.400 what what I want to talk about the Perky Nerd? Like? 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.480 How did you? Is this the first comic book shop 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.839 that you've opened? Yes? I like, how maybe there's more? 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.840 I wish there was? Um, yeah, this is the first 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.960 one ever of its kind. The Perky Nerd actually the 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:24.200 name itself. We wanted to open up a cat cafe. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.480 Which is funny because all comic book characters I seem 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.760 to pick out have a cat yeah. So, uh, but 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.000 having cats and and the whole thing was too much 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:40.160 money up front. It's a huge investment. So we decided 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.800 to do a comic bookshop that sells cold brew coffee 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.079 and and then does like art shows. To get the community. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.040 We did stand up Um, yes, yeah, you have stand 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.280 up comedy shows there. Well, we used to. Um, I'd 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.440 love to do more, I know, meltdown since they've gone 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.120 away then, I don't know where all those people went. 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.320 But we kind of took on a lot more gaming 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.600 in the last year. I don't know if you're familiar 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:12.200 with Legion yet. Uh. Star Wars like miniatures game, and 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.160 it came out last year and it kind of took 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.399 over our whole shop. So uh, that's we've and then 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.160 key Forged by the Magic Guys that's taken over, and 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.600 so we're kind of exploring the new gaming realm. Yeah, 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.200 I feel like I mean, I don't know a lot 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.320 of other and I should, but I will look this up. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.160 But a lot of other female run comic bookshops in 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.800 the city. I mean, what was that like to even 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.560 to like this? Has this been a dream of yours? Like, 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.440 how do you even go about doing that? Like, how 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.280 do you go about being like, I'm going to open 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.320 up a comic bookshop. I think you just do it 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.839 and don't think about it. For for us, it kind 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:56.040 of was like December, we went to a comic bookshop 0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.160 by Chicago, Wisconsin, AIA. It was a woman owned one, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.680 and I was like, oh, that's so cool, Like it 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.200 stuck out to me as something that I was I 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.440 was like, wow, women canon a comic bookshop. And then 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.760 I looked it up and there's another girl in Philadelphia 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.279 that has a coffee comic bookshop and she has actually 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.200 been on the cover of a Marvel comic recently. Yeah, 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.760 and then there's another one in Seattle, I think, um, 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.480 and there's just there's a handful of them all over 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.560 the US. Um. But they're not that many. And I 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.520 want to say, because when we did first open, a 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.120 lot of people were like, that can't be the like 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.800 the first women owned I And I'm not the first 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.159 woman owned comic bookshop. But there is less than like 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.880 ten of them, and I think people like challenge that 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.520 because they're like, I've seen women in comic bookshops. I'm like, 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:53.080 correction owned by a woman, not just people working in 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.279 the other women. Um, but like actually owned by a 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.440 woman operating business. Yeah. So and you employ a lot 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.760 of women there. I know, I see them all the time. Yeah, 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.320 we have a lot of women. We have the Perky 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.840 Bitches Comic book Club. Yeah, and you had a you 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.559 had like a remember maybe it was just during Halloween, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.560 but I remember you had like a Witches. Yeah. We 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.600 do the Witches Brunch. A lot of women like art 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.279 shows and stuff like that. We had the marveloust Ladies 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.960 that brunch. It was like a mash up Marvel Ladies 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.520 as Holly go lightly. Um. That was just a personal 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.400 thing I wanted to do because I I like like 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:38.719 breakfast at Tiffany's the concept and like Tiffany's for obvious reasons. Yeah, 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.640 you had a Breakfast at Tiffany I actually own it, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.240 and so does Danielle Radford, who um was in our 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.960 Marvel Our Black Panther Marvel piece and she was on 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.320 our Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode. But I bought you 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.280 have a you carried a print. It was this gorgeous 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.560 print of Surery in the Breakfast at Tiffany's. Like she 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.359 looks like Audrey Hepburn and she has a little cat 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.320 with her um and its Surey from black Panthers. So 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.880 I have that framed in my living room. Oh nice, Yeah, yeah, 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.120 I've gotten several pieces of art there. You have. You 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:12.599 really are an open um place where artists can apply 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.280 to have their work shown. Like you have tons of 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.760 different independent artists on your walls. You have tons of print. 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.400 I think it's like the best gift. I love going 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.479 there and giving it as a gift to people because 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.360 you know, you can get like a print for like 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.520 ten or fifteen bucks and it's like super cool to 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.760 have like a gorgeous wonder Woman or the Flash um, 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.960 and they'll have mashups. What'll be like the Simpsons in 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.599 the Flash or something like that. So yeah, that's my 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.760 favorite part about the art shows is seeing what people 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.839 are going to do with the theme that we put 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.560 out there. Um. I get a lot of artists that 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.440 just approached and say, how can I get in the gallery? Well, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.480 you can start up by being in the art shows, 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.440 which are always themed. I don't just do like this 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:56.000 is an art show. Um. So uh. On March sewond 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.640 is when our Captain Marvel Art show will be up 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.320 in the gallery and it will be up the whole 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.919 month of March. Yes, so if you are in because 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.359 the Perky Nerd is in Burbank um, so if you 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.720 are in the l A area, please check it out 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.800 and you can check out there all of their Captain 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.160 Marvel princes that they will have up in original artes. Yeah. Amazing. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.320 So speaking of Captain Marvel, when I asked, I think 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.320 I asked on Facebook, um if there were anyone that 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.360 were experts in Captain Marvel. Remember Eric Barnes, who I 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.040 believe was on our Teenage Mutant and Turtle episode immediately 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.400 tagged you and I was like, oh, yes, she would 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.360 be perfect. I was like, yes, I remember, But how 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.920 did you get into Captain Marvel? So I stumbled upon 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.840 her in two thousand and six, I think she it 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.400 was like a fifty two book or a fifty book 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:49.520 run of Ms. Marvel. Carol Danver's in her black leotard. 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.760 Um and my husband was just looking for some amazing 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:57.800 spider man to fill in his holes. And I was like, 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.040 oh good, we're where are we because we were just 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.080 doing that thing where you just map out a bunch 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.400 of comic bookshops and just go um. And he was 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.040 like you should choose one, probably like one of those 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:14.120 things like you should get into nerdy things. And I 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:19.800 was like, okay, uh And I saw this like you know, 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.320 badass Lady on the front of a cover, and I 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.680 got it. And then I got all the other issues 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.480 and then I became really enthralled into this character and 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.240 I kept reading. And then he gave me all of 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.000 the Miss Marvel from the seventies, the comic books he 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.720 found like a whole collection of them on eBay and 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.679 that I think that was like my birthday present or something. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.760 Do you still have those? Yeah? I have. I have 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:49.640 my long boxes of all all my singles of Captain Marvel, 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.320 Miss Marvel, the seventies Miss Marvel. Um. And then it 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.760 just kept going into like Black Widow and looking for 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:03.000 all of those things. Um. But yeah, I love Carol Danvers. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:08.920 She I just I love She's so flawed. Um. And 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.240 I came to l A for acting. So in two 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.000 thousand and six, I was, you know, fresh here and 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.080 I was like, we need to make a movie and 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.360 I want to be her. You were already on the band. Yeah, 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.440 you you were pitching this back in oh six. You know, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:30.120 we're just now getting it in right, and that's so crazy. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.760 I feel like she hasn't really been on the bigger radar, 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.880 like obviously for Marvel nerds and people that you know 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:38.840 have been following her, she has been, but I don't 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.760 think she's really been on the radar until the last 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:45.000 like five ish years. I would say I've noticed more. Um, 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.040 and definitely the last two years, like when they announced 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.240 that she was getting her own film, yes, oh yeah, 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.800 because they announced like a long time ago. I feel like, 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.000 and now it's finally here. I feel like they know 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.160 a lot of stuff, you know, like by the time 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.920 we hear stuf Off, they've already gone into production. They 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.360 might even be done with production sometimes by the time 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.760 that it gets out into the Publicum. But Marvel is 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.040 definitely already capped out, like mapped out exactly what they 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:15.200 were gonna do. Um. I'm really excited. I think it's 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.959 crazy how close Because she comes out so Captain Marvel 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:23.480 drops march An haste week Yeah, it'll be this weekend, 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:27.720 drops this weekend, and Infinity War comes out in a role, 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.160 so I really don't get a lot of time. And 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.400 in between that, I believe Shazam I might be which 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:38.560 is interesting, which is interesting because for people that don't know, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:45.640 Shazam and Captain Marvel are kind of related. Um, do 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.080 you do you want to explain that to people of 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:54.480 how that happened the Captain Marvel they're originally from? Like, 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.080 because I get a lot of people in the shop 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.680 that are like, did you know that Kept Marvel is 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:05.280 really from d C? No, you are you telling me that? 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.760 You a comic bookshop owner get people that challenge you 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.720 about your knowledge. I mean it happens all the time, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.839 and I just I mean my personality is just you're 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.960 very friendly. I'm just like, oh, yeah, that's really cool. Huh. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.760 You are much kinder than I am, Tiffany, You're very 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.160 You're very friendly. Yes, you're very which is great because 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:32.880 you have a business. And so I guess if you 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.040 if you said what you really wanted to to everybody, 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.760 I wouldn't have any customers. I mean I would still go, 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.120 I would still go. But Okay, yes, Kittie, I'm sorry, 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.880 I just I want yes, of course, you owning a 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.120 comic bookshop get challenged about your knowledge of comics. But yes, um, 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:56.720 so yes, she'sam Sasam. Yeah. So originally the character she'sam 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.000 that we know that's going to be in the movie. 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.200 Um is not being called Captain Marvel because Captain Marvel 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.200 is Captain Marvel. Um. But they did own that back, 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.120 you know first, and then there was like a whole 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.040 lawsuit and now they have to make a captain like 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:22.000 Marvel has to make a Captain Marvel us that whatever 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.400 you call it monarch or whatever every two years, once 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.880 every two something, otherwise they'll lose it. It's kind of 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.480 it's like anything else, kind of like with like ex trademark, 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.160 you know, stuff like that, they have to use it. 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.640 Otherwise it just drops off and it's over and it's 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:42.600 up for grabs for uh people to use it. Yeah. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.680 I wanted to say, shazam is so Billy Batson uh 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.520 so Uh, it's essentially the word that he says when 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:55.040 he's transforming. He says shazam, and so we will see that, yeah, 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.080 in the film that's coming out. But that's essentially what 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.120 they ended up just doing is they were like, oh, 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:00.760 let's just take this word and we'll just make it 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.520 a the the dude, the character. Um. But I'm really 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.640 curious to if they call him Captain Marvel in the movie. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.360 There's no you think that they're going to do that. 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.280 I don't know, but like the people are really against 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.120 like they're like, Shazam is not his name, Shazam is 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.040 the word that changes him into Captain Marvel. Gosh, those 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:29.679 people don't sound fun. Um, let's let's talk officially what 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.000 Captain Marvel. So. Captain Marvel is um the name of 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:38.160 several fictional superheroes appearing in Marvel comics. Like you said, 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.200 it was following a trial in which DC Comics sued 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.520 Fawcett Comics for a breach of copyright, claiming Faucets Captain 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.680 Marvel was too similar to Superman. The latter stop publishing 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.400 Captain Marvel, and in the late sixties, Marvel gained the 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.880 trademark Captain Marvel, which makes sense that it would go 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.920 to them with their with their first series, And what 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.520 Tiffany was saying is that to retain their trademark, Marvel 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.400 has to publish a Captain Marvel title at least once 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:07.400 every two years, leading to her ongoing series limited series 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.440 in one shots, essentially in order to hang on to that. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:16.719 But originally the name was Marvel and that character was 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.320 created by Stanley and Gene Colin and first appeared in 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.360 Marvel Superheroes number twelve in December of nineteen sixty seven. 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:29.960 So essentially, the character was an alien military officer, Captain 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.360 Marvel of the Cree Imperial Militia, which is like an 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.640 alien army, who was then sent to observe the planet Earth. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.000 I love this because this is also what happens with 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.080 Sayings and dragon Ball always have to relate it back 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.640 to Darn, but that's essentially Sayings um Goku was like 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.840 sent to Earth to take over, but then ended up 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:52.840 helping us. So Captain Marvel eventually also allies himself with Earth. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:57.240 The Cree Empire brands him as a trader, and then 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.400 that leads to lots of fighting, lots of fighting. Have 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:05.280 you read the Margaret Stole the Latest The Life of 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:10.520 Um Captain Marvel? Oh, because we just read it in 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:15.880 the Perky Bitches, uh. And I'm really curious to see 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.840 how much of it is going to be in the 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.200 movie because the Kelly sud Conic run is the one 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:26.000 that they're supposed to be taking from Um. But when 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.080 you were just saying that about Marvel coming to Earth 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:35.640 in that one, the Margaret Stole book, her mom comes 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.720 to Earth from the Creed. Yeah, and they made a 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:46.239 whole new storyline. Does she have a baby with a human? Yeah? 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.400 And so it's funny because I love that. I was 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.240 very into that. I did the map in my head 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.000 and it was so much like Superman to me. I 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.600 kept being this is really like Superman to point where 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:08.040 her name is Mary l and Carol, that's so fast. Wait, okay, 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.600 so that's when the latest thing that just came out 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:16.920 before the one that just like started running, that's in 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.880 it like it's second issue now. Um it came out 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:26.360 because people were saying that they wanted to correct her origins. Um. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.560 Which if you were a brand new reader and you 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:34.440 had just picked that up, you might be interested in it. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:39.440 But I do think it's very Superman storyline. Um. Which Now, 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:45.240 now if that was the original storyline with Marvel the guy, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:50.360 it is, because I reading it, I was like, this 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:54.960 is like Superman. So it's kind of funny that they 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.880 would do that again now with Carol in a storyline 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.120 it is. I mean I could see originally why they 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:06.280 sued them, but now that they can't do anything, I 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.080 guess they're like, well, we're just going to go back, 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.560 and I mean, I know a lot of different franchises 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.800 that have done that, and sometimes people are really interesting 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:18.000 when you run across Puris, like they're really fascinated. I 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.320 like Wonder Woman's origin story. I don't like when people 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.919 mess around with her origin story, which has happened because 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:30.000 she originally wasn't like there's somewhere her father is, you know, 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.200 where she was folded from Clay and then other ones 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.760 where it was like, oh no, her mom was like 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:41.520 impregnated by Zeus um. But it was like through the 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.560 power of Zeus or whatever that she was able to 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.400 make this Clay. But like you know, in the original 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.840 nineteen forties run, she came from Clay. Yeah, so I'm 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.159 sure I might get I might get someone correcting me, 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.520 but I have that original run at home, so at 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.480 least what I can remember is that she didn't need Well. 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:04.000 My least favorite is when her Paolita and whose Zeus 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:08.879 is wife? Is it Athena and uh, I'm trying to remember, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.760 but anyways, it was basically them fighting. It was as 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.199 a Rillo's Brian as a Rillo's Run. I think that 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.679 was a New fifty two um with Wonder woman, and 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:19.040 I have a computer right in front of me. I'm like, 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.879 I should just google. But essentially they were fighting over Zeus. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.239 I don't know if yeah so, and I was like, 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.040 oh no, there's two women fighting over a man. Why 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:32.479 does this need to happen? Um? Why didn't no just 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.080 go back to her other origin? Yeah? So moving on, 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:41.680 She's had several incarnations And the one that you came 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.520 onto in two thousand and six, you said she you 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.280 knew her as Miss Marvel, Miss Marvel. Yeah, she back 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:51.920 in two thousand and six was in the black leotard. Uh. 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:56.240 And that that whole run is the run that I made. Well, 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.639 I didn't make them. They willingly read it, uh like 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:04.240 because now they're repackaging everything to be the ms Marvel 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.159 Years of Captain Marvel. And there's like three volumes that 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.480 we have in the shop. Um and you can see, 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.359 like you know, because she was the leader of the Avengers, 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:19.639 she had a lot of alcohol issues. Um. She was 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.600 like in Civil War. UM. So she's like popped up 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.680 a lot um. And that's where I got into her. 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.800 I personally really love it, um because you know, when 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.640 you first get into something, you're just like, I love this. 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.640 I love it the way it is, yes, but then 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:42.080 it changes and you it's like, no, no, why did 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.840 they do that? But someone else could pick up that 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.680 new thing, not knowing anything previously and be like this 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:52.600 is amazing see the old stuff, and be like why 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.919 why would they do that to her? So I'm coming 0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:01.200 from like the black leotard loving days. Uh. And then she, 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:06.000 you know, got redone in two thousand and twelve as 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:13.080 Captain Marvel Carol Danver's everyone knows, right, okay because before that, oh, 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.120 it's like the seventh on the list of carrying the 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.880 Captain Marvel. Yeah. Title, So let's go through this list. 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.760 So the next one up after we have Marvel is 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.440 Monica is at rambo Um and that was the second 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.680 Captain Marvel was created by writer Roger Stern and artist 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:33.080 John Ramda Jr. She first appeared in The Amazing Spider 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:37.440 Man Annual number sixteen and nineteen eighty two. So here, 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.080 I am just thinking that she's been around, you know, recently. 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.280 I haven't read any Captain Marvel comics. I'm going to 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.120 get on it. I read my my friend Sam Magg's 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.440 actually wrote a book which I'll have to show you yeah, probably. Yeah, 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.800 We're going to do a book signing with her. So great. Well, 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.639 but um so it does have info about Captain Marvel, 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.000 and it has info about all the women of Marvel 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.960 in it. Uh And so that was when I was 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.000 reading that, it made me want and of course this 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:08.480 Brie Larson film has made me want to check it out. 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:10.919 But I feel behind because we did. We did a 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:14.919 Harley Quinn episode with Tara Strong, and when I was 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.119 researching for that, I ran across and Harley Quinn. I'm 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.240 very you know, I grew up watching Batman, the animated series, 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:25.040 so I'm aware of her um but I ran across 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:28.679 mad love that. Everyone was saying, like, you have to 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:31.680 read this. It's like such an in depth look at 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.520 her um in her relationship with the Joker and you know, 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.119 her vulnerability and like kind of her mindset. So I 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.199 bought it and I'm like, Okay, I need to do 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:43.720 this first, then I'll get into my Captain Marvel comics 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.959 have so many things that I'm behind on. Um Okay. So, 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.480 Monica Rambo was a police lieutenant from New Orleans who 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:54.320 possesses the power to transform herself into any form of energy. 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.719 Her powers were briefly altered so that she cannot transform 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.200 to energy but instead can generate a personal worsfield. Really 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:04.600 interesting that they made her a police officer. This was 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.520 something and a couple of other episodes that we have 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.399 also talked about um during this time, like this era 0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:14.439 where it was very lethal weapon he like, you know, 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:17.760 those like Cop Buddy Cop or like the cop films 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.600 were really popular. Yeah, so it's really because they also 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:24.639 did that we talked about in our Black Panther episode. 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.440 They did it with Techala or at least with Black Panther. 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.120 I forgot his name at the time, but they made 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.040 him until a police officer think in the nineties. Huh. Yeah. 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.560 And so what's really cool about that is that in 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.480 and I'm trying to stay away from the trailers kind 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:42.480 of after I've seen like the first initial ones, but 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.960 if you stop it, you know, the wonderful world of 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.360 DVR uh and people on the internet. Then they put 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:53.760 it up that Monica and her in her airplane it 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:57.520 says Photon on the side. So that's a total like 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:01.840 nice little easter, a call out her being Photon in 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:06.800 the comics. Oh yeah, I wouldn't, which is pretty rodin 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:08.280 I feel like I'm going to need to take a 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:12.160 box of tissues to the movie because I'm just gonna 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:15.000 be like, oh my god, that's that's how I was 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:19.879 with One Woman. Yeah, Wonder Woman's um No Man's Land 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:25.480 scene got me every time, I know where every time 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:28.320 I just wanted to And also I think like it 0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:30.639 was the music, It was so much about it, but 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:34.960 just seeing her and kind of like her inability to 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:39.400 understand why we're cowards, you know, she just she saw 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:42.480 these you know, she saw these people dying and was like, 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:46.080 I love that line. That's like what you do, what 0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:48.919
