Speaker 1: Warning today's episode, it really won't contain any screen. That's fine,
Speaker 1: it's a superhero draft. Hello, and even chased a concept
Speaker 1: to you, and I'm roday Night and welcome back to
Speaker 1: X revisions of the podcast, where we dive deep into
Speaker 1: your favorite shows, movies, comics, and pop culture. Company for
Speaker 1: buy our podcast, we'll we're bringing you three episodes a
Speaker 1: week plus two.
Speaker 2: So on Saturday, today's episode, we are setting up a
Speaker 2: brand new team of superheroes some villains to take down
Speaker 2: Homelander once and for all. It's been too long. We
Speaker 2: got to do it ourselves. But every superhero team is
Speaker 2: constrained by a budget. So today that's everyone knows that.
Speaker 2: So today we're doing an auction draft.
Speaker 1: So let me set up the ground rules of this
Speaker 1: auction draft before I hand the gavel to our general
Speaker 1: manager super producer Aaron, who will be the arbiter of
Speaker 1: all questions that come up during the drafting process. It's
Speaker 1: an auction draft, as we noted, one hundred dollars per team.
Speaker 1: That's Rosie Ian and myself will be given a hundred
Speaker 1: dollars budget to spend on a variety of characters that
Speaker 1: span all of the various ip that we talk about
Speaker 1: here on the show, from Marvel to DC to horror
Speaker 1: to anime and on and on. Important note, because there's
Speaker 1: gonna be characters maybe that come up and you're gonna
Speaker 1: be like, wait a second, the Hulk is fifteen dollars
Speaker 1: or whatever he is. I forget what I priced him at.
Speaker 1: This fight is taking place in The Boys. Yes, this
Speaker 1: fight is taking place in the season finale of the
Speaker 1: final season of the Boys. It's not taking place in
Speaker 1: Superman's comic, an Avengers comic, an Avengers movie, et cetera. So,
Speaker 1: as we all know, in these kind of nerd arguments,
Speaker 1: the tie often goes to, well whose title is it?
Speaker 1: So that'll be important. Right. Secondarily, there are a lots
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of questions about does this character's
Speaker 1: power work in The Boys. This is where the judge
Speaker 1: is gonna come in. We're gonna have to appeal to
Speaker 1: the judge. You can do that before you spend the money.
Speaker 1: We are hashing out all of this as we are drafting.
Speaker 1: And lastly, there is a veto on the board. Anybody
Speaker 1: can buy a veto during any round. It's twenty dollars.
Speaker 1: That's expensive, but we're only drafting four characters. When the
Speaker 1: veto is used on a character, that character comes off
Speaker 1: the board for everyone. Money that was spent on that
Speaker 1: character by the team goes back into their bank they
Speaker 1: can then purchase again someone else, obviously. Okay, are you
Speaker 1: ready to go?
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Commissioner Aaron, do you want to get the proceedings going?
Speaker 4: Listen everyone, it's the start of another league year. I'm
Speaker 4: very excited about our schedule this year. Ticket sales are
Speaker 4: through the roof and everyone is thrilled about the chance
Speaker 4: to have this big championship battle between Homelander and one
Speaker 4: of your teams.
Speaker 5: Which one will it be? I can't wait?
Speaker 6: I'm ready?
Speaker 2: Ian?
Speaker 6: Are you ready?
Speaker 3: I'm ready.
Speaker 7: I have an idea of the team I want to
Speaker 7: put together in mind. Hopefully the picks are still there
Speaker 7: when it's my turn and the money is right.
Speaker 3: So let's get into it.
Speaker 4: Let's get into it all right. We are going to
Speaker 4: do a snake draft, so we will start ABC and
Speaker 4: then reverse it CBA. So Jason you're going to be
Speaker 4: pick one, Rosie you will be picked two, Ian you'll
Speaker 4: be picked three, and then we will stop have our
Speaker 4: moment for a veto if anyone wants to buy a
Speaker 4: Veto and then we will go reverse Ian Rosie Jason. So, Jason,
Speaker 4: you are up with pick number one, one oh one. Jason,
Speaker 4: talk us through your thoughts without giving away strategy. What
Speaker 4: is going through your head is you're looking at pick
Speaker 4: one one one.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the vulnerabilities, you know, I'm thinking about vulnerabilities.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about things. Homeler can't do things that you can.
Speaker 1: He really can't block, you know, as an attack. So
Speaker 1: let's see, I'm going to go Professor X sixty dollars.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend my money because i think, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously huge power level telepathy wise, poor mobility. But I'm
Speaker 1: hoping that with my other picks we can exploit the
Speaker 1: vulnerabilities that Professor X shows in Homelander. I think certainly
Speaker 1: Professor X is going to have the ability to stun
Speaker 1: Homelander for significant periods of time, and it's during that
Speaker 1: time that I hope to that I hope to take
Speaker 1: it down. So I'm going to spend sixty dollars on
Speaker 1: Professor X, and then that's my pick.
Speaker 5: Amazing.
Speaker 4: Pick one is in Jason has Professor X for sixty
Speaker 4: dollars of his one hundred dollars budget. Rosie Eure up next,
Speaker 4: pick one oh two.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm going the other direction. I like Jason's pick.
Speaker 2: I think, obviously, Professor.
Speaker 6: X, we all know he's got the juice, like.
Speaker 2: He can probably subdue Homelander psychically, telepathically. I also think
Speaker 2: he'd be able to mess around with his mind. We've
Speaker 2: seen him do that to Wonder. This is in the
Speaker 2: world of the Boys. So I'm thinking whose powers in
Speaker 2: the world of the Boys would make sense and be
Speaker 2: a surprising, you know, foe.
Speaker 6: So I'm going to spend one dollar on Chucky because.
Speaker 2: I think, yes, the Law of the Boys, right, and
Speaker 2: you think about the world of the Boys, a voodoo
Speaker 2: doll that is essentially unkillable, that can swap its, you know,
Speaker 2: spirit into.
Speaker 6: Different little toys, et cetera.
Speaker 2: That feels like something that could actually be surprisingly powerful
Speaker 2: in the Boys. And potentially we've seen Chucky switch his
Speaker 2: pal using his h questionable voodoo skills. The killer Charles
Speaker 2: ray Lee has been able to put his body into
Speaker 2: spirit into other bodies, So is there a way he
Speaker 2: could do that to Homeland the potentially I would like
Speaker 2: to see it.
Speaker 6: So I'm spending my one dollar in Chucky.
Speaker 2: Guys, I'm saving that money, but I think in the
Speaker 2: context of the boys, he could potentially do quite well.
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be. This is gonna be.
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see where this is going. Obviously, I
Speaker 1: think Chucky is gonna be spamming like one HP attack exactly,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what that's gonna do. But but
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how this synergizes with the rest
Speaker 1: of your team.
Speaker 6: Is interesting.
Speaker 4: It's a first pace, uh Ian, You're up with pick
Speaker 4: one oh three. Now you have the two wins to
Speaker 4: the spectrum. Here, Jason took someone from tier one, Rosie
Speaker 4: took someone from tier five. Where are you gonna land
Speaker 4: with pick one or three? How are you starting your team?
Speaker 7: So my plan is to think smarter, not harder, and
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go a nice mid tier pick here. And
Speaker 7: I want to blow my money too early, but I
Speaker 7: think this is a solid pick. I'm curious to hear
Speaker 7: what you guys think, but I'm gonna go with mister
Speaker 7: Winter himself, the Night King.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, I'm interested.
Speaker 3: Here's my reasoning.
Speaker 7: As we all know, in the world of the Boys,
Speaker 7: there is always a ton of mash casualties and innocent
Speaker 7: bysan getting hick. So the Night King, we know his
Speaker 7: number one power reanimating the dead endless army of Whites.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 7: There's gonna be casualties. Homelander is gonna kill innocent people,
Speaker 7: and who is at fodder for Night King? Unlimited supply
Speaker 7: of goons to aid in the fight. He's invulnerable, unkillable
Speaker 7: unless you have some dragon glass, which I don't think
Speaker 7: overalier and steel which I don't think homeland and you
Speaker 7: know the heat vision. You can make an argument that
Speaker 7: that is that the same as fire, But we also
Speaker 7: know we saw on Game of Thrones fire itself didn't
Speaker 7: really affect the Night King. Some of the Whites were
Speaker 7: affected by fire, but not the Night King. Is laser
Speaker 7: vision the same as fire?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: So my question immediately would be Night King in the
Speaker 1: Boys universe, he's let's assume he's south of the Wall.
Speaker 6: Geographical?
Speaker 1: Is he is this a fully powered Night King or
Speaker 1: is it like is he powering up? Is he one
Speaker 1: hundred level? Is he slightly lower than that? What does
Speaker 1: that mean? I'm eager to see how the judge, I'm
Speaker 1: I think this is an open question. Would you agree, Judge,
Speaker 1: I'm not asking you to rule now, but would you
Speaker 1: say it's an open question about how powerful the Night
Speaker 1: King is south of the Wall. And it's not full
Speaker 1: winter currently in the Boys universe, it's regular seasons.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: I do want to point out also on the list
Speaker 4: you have Denaris with dro the Night King does not
Speaker 4: currently cut you. When you draft the Night King. You're
Speaker 4: not drafting the army or any dragons to start. You're coming,
Speaker 4: You're you're coming with a sole contributor.
Speaker 1: I mean, I still think that I'm I'm I'm kind of.
Speaker 7: Blowing awayaitus for Homelander to blow up one building, and
Speaker 7: that's an army right there.
Speaker 1: So it's an influential pick. There's also dead bodies just
Speaker 1: laying around this is this is interesting thing.
Speaker 5: But that's a good value.
Speaker 3: That's a steal, that's good value.
Speaker 6: That's a good value pick.
Speaker 5: All right, we're going to open it up to the
Speaker 5: veto round.
Speaker 4: Does anyone want to try to vet spend twenty dollars
Speaker 4: and buy a veto to try to veto anyone else's pick.
Speaker 4: You have to argue for it, So make sure you're prepared,
Speaker 4: going once, going twice, No vetos this round. We are
Speaker 4: going to move on to round two. Ian, you picked
Speaker 4: the Night King in round one. You have eighty five
Speaker 4: dollars left in your budget. You've got quite a lot
Speaker 4: to play with right there.
Speaker 1: So you've got to the second pick is the most
Speaker 1: important pick in the entire draft.
Speaker 3: It is, it's big because this is gonna set the tone.
Speaker 4: No pressure, no pressure, no really dictates how the final
Speaker 4: two rounds go. All right, so Ian, talk me through.
Speaker 4: What are you thinking you've gotten Niking? What powers are
Speaker 4: you looking forward to compliment him with your team?
Speaker 7: I need something really unexpected that's going to catch Homelander
Speaker 7: off guard, something that he's not versed in at all,
Speaker 7: something magical or mystical, perhaps reality warping. Oh so I
Speaker 7: think you guys know where I'm going with this. I
Speaker 7: think I just got to take it before somebody else does,
Speaker 7: because I don't think she's going to stay on the board.
Speaker 7: I gotta go Wanda Scarlet. Wait, that's my that's my big,
Speaker 7: my big spend, So I gotta go for it before
Speaker 7: she's taken off the board. So the rationale here, the
Speaker 7: reality warping. I feel like you just can't beat that.
Speaker 7: She could just literally snap her fingers. Homelander doesn't exist anymore. Fight,
Speaker 7: so it's done.
Speaker 1: I guess the issue is the the unintended consequences. But man,
Speaker 1: it's a huge pick.
Speaker 6: I mean, you make a good point.
Speaker 2: I would also say, like, I think you got to
Speaker 2: be wary because she does have that power and she
Speaker 2: is incredible, but then.
Speaker 6: You never know she's an unstable babe.
Speaker 7: I think that's worth the risk. It's like Joel Embiid,
Speaker 7: It's like, we know that, but you saw those MVP numbers.
Speaker 3: Who was putting out?
Speaker 4: You bring up Joel Embiid? Is your second pick is
Speaker 4: not helping you? Man, I'm there.
Speaker 7: You got to take the risk. When healthy, there's no
Speaker 7: one better. You know, you got to take the risk.
Speaker 1: I'm impressed by the picks so far. I have to
Speaker 1: say one thing I want to raise for the judge's
Speaker 1: formulations on these questions is I think it's a tough
Speaker 1: chemistry fit Scarlet Witch in the Night King. I don't
Speaker 1: know if those two can play together. I don't know
Speaker 1: who can share the ball, But I want Aaron to
Speaker 1: think about that. You've got one. You've got one magical
Speaker 1: being who is kind of like the embodiment of the
Speaker 1: chaotic energy of life, and then you've got another one
Speaker 1: who is like pure cold and death. When the night
Speaker 1: King starts bringing back dead children icee, I children, what
Speaker 1: is Scarlet which can do? Just think about that as well.
Speaker 2: She's gonna be like, bring back my children, bring back.
Speaker 6: My children, That's what she's gonna say.
Speaker 5: All right, Rosie, you are up pick two oh two.
Speaker 4: You have a whopping ninety nine dollars because you haven't
Speaker 4: spend one dollar.
Speaker 5: I'm chucky so far.
Speaker 4: Jason has forty, Ian has twenty five, You've got ninety nine.
Speaker 3: What do you want to do?
Speaker 6: So I'm I'm going up the ladder. I was.
Speaker 2: I was tempted by another you know, underrated, low key pick,
Speaker 2: even though her stat line is like unbeaten, which was
Speaker 2: squirrel Girl. But I just think within the world of
Speaker 2: the boys, I don't necessarily know how well that would
Speaker 2: go because I feel like Homelander would just make a
Speaker 2: rule to kill every squirrel or there would be some
Speaker 2: kind of terrible torture.
Speaker 6: I just even though she.
Speaker 2: Is cininically undefeated, that is in the Marvel universe. Yes,
Speaker 2: she is only the unbeatable squirrel Girl there, so I'm
Speaker 2: not I'm gonna skip my five dollar pick.
Speaker 6: Who would have been squirrel Girl?
Speaker 2: Obviously I could have been if it wasn't just the
Speaker 2: four pick round.
Speaker 6: It was just about spending one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: You guys can see I could have had an impeccable team,
Speaker 2: though they may have get wiped out very quickly.
Speaker 4: I want to clarify Rosie. Any leftover money at the
Speaker 4: end of the draft, you don't get to take home.
Speaker 3: I know, we.
Speaker 5: Okay, just make sure.
Speaker 2: So my next I think my next pick, I'm going
Speaker 2: I'm continuing my You know, these are some controversial dudes.
Speaker 2: They might get canceled. They're not necessarily like family friendly picks.
Speaker 2: But this is the Boys Universe. So I'm gonna spend
Speaker 2: ten dollars and I'm gonna get the T one thousand
Speaker 2: from ten.
Speaker 5: This is a section that's.
Speaker 1: A good pic.
Speaker 3: I was looking at that one.
Speaker 2: This is like your ultimate defensive pick because he basically
Speaker 2: can always reconstitute himself. He doesn't have the ego of Homelander.
Speaker 2: He is a solely mission based man. You just tell
Speaker 2: him kill that Homelander, and he's going to be turning
Speaker 2: into cool cgi metal whenever he needs to Homeland, it's
Speaker 2: going to shoot lasers through him. You know, he'll stop
Speaker 2: for a minute, but it's just going to be able
Speaker 2: to reconstitute around. I think that if you add this
Speaker 2: kind of unstoppable force to the chaotic curses and voodoo
Speaker 2: of Chucky, you start to build up quite an interesting
Speaker 2: team here. So my second pick, I'm going for the
Speaker 2: T one tho ten dollars.
Speaker 1: Wow, I Meantry, Hey, exactly, Okay, I think you're going
Speaker 1: to see where I'm going when I make my second pick. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Charles Xavier. The ability to scramble Homelanders eggs. We love
Speaker 1: that when those eggs are scrambled. Who's coming, Who's coming?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who's coming. At ten dollars. Freddy Krueger
Speaker 1: Omnip inside the dream World, We're gonna drop. We're gonna
Speaker 1: drop Homelander to his fucking knees, put him to sleep,
Speaker 1: and have Freddy Krueger just go fucking wild and.
Speaker 3: Vision class.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 6: He is coming in with a psychological torment plan.
Speaker 8: Yes, we're gonna bring up all the bad dreams, all
Speaker 8: the bad Mommy, and it's coming right to the floor, okay,
Speaker 8: in the form of that beautiful tricolored sweater.
Speaker 5: I love Frederick Krueger.
Speaker 6: We love Frederick Krueger. Child La failed Janeta.
Speaker 2: Yes, I will say we have historically seen extra Chrispy.
Speaker 2: We have historically seen that. The only problem I believe
Speaker 2: there is that Freddy can end up fighting in that
Speaker 2: dream world and not always coming out on top.
Speaker 6: So there is a slight risk by knowledge the week.
Speaker 2: I think that with Charles Xavier, you're you are adding
Speaker 2: an extra layer of control there.
Speaker 6: So I'm very impressed with this this pick, Jason. I
Speaker 6: think this is a very smart plan.
Speaker 4: All right, we are at the end of round two.
Speaker 4: I just want to go through real quick. Jason. You
Speaker 4: picked Professor X for sixty and Freddy Krueger for ten,
Speaker 4: which means you have thirty dollars left.
Speaker 5: You are able to buy a veto if you'd like Rosie.
Speaker 4: You chose Chucky for one dollar, and and then you
Speaker 4: were like, I'm looking up the list a little bit higher,
Speaker 4: and by that you meant one rung higher, and you
Speaker 4: took a T one thousand, two rungs higher. The T
Speaker 4: one thousand for ten dollars. Uh, so you have eighty
Speaker 4: nine dollars left. And Ian, you chose the Night King
Speaker 4: first for fifteen dollars, and then you got Scarlet, which
Speaker 4: for sixty so you've got twenty five dollars. You also,
Speaker 4: everyone can still buy the veto, but you, Ian are
Speaker 4: most constricted with your remaining budget. You would only have
Speaker 4: five dollars to make two remaining picks. Now we're going
Speaker 4: to open it up to the veto round. Does anyone
Speaker 4: want a veto? Any of these picks?
Speaker 5: Scarlet Witch t one thousand, Freddy Krueger, I'm holding.
Speaker 6: I'm holding holding. I want to see where it's going. Guys,
Speaker 6: I want to see it's going. I like everyone's pick.
Speaker 4: We're gonna take a quick break and when we come back,
Speaker 4: we will do our final two rounds and then I
Speaker 4: will deliberate and choose who I think is the favorite
Speaker 4: to the beat all Lander.
Speaker 1: And we're back.
Speaker 6: We're back.
Speaker 4: Okay, continue, We're at the top of round three. Jason,
Speaker 4: you are starting to.
Speaker 6: Baby, he's back.
Speaker 5: You have thirty dollars left.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I think there are some questions to be
Speaker 1: answered with regards to this, but I think you know
Speaker 1: Ian sees the vision with Charles Xavier providing the scrambling
Speaker 1: power and Freddy Krueger bringing the chaos within the dream
Speaker 1: world the immortal and you know, almost omnipotent power than
Speaker 1: the dream world. I'm going to go from strength to strength,
Speaker 1: and we're going to bring Pennywise into the situation at
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars and we're going to fucking wreck this guy's life.
Speaker 1: Look like it's he's not going to go which no
Speaker 1: which way is up. He's going to be faced with
Speaker 1: everything he's afraid of and then he hates. Now. I
Speaker 1: know what somebody, some people are thinking, right, and I
Speaker 1: am prepared to answer this question, but I just want
Speaker 1: to put it out there and make it clear that
Speaker 1: I'm aware of it. Do we have to be in
Speaker 1: Maine for this to work?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 1: Look, I didn't want to say it, and and I'm
Speaker 1: aware of it. I'm aware of the issue that it's
Speaker 1: very possible that we have to be in Maine, Okay,
Speaker 1: this to truly take place. That said, I'm I'm working
Speaker 1: with that constraint in mind. And I think if if
Speaker 1: we can get and I think we can, if we
Speaker 1: can get homeland Er to Maine, while this.
Speaker 6: Is happening, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I think we really have a.
Speaker 6: Great up be helping you. But I love this vision
Speaker 6: so much.
Speaker 2: I think that if Freddy Krueger psychically took him in
Speaker 2: a dream to Maine, I think that Pennywise could edit.
Speaker 1: So I'll await to wait.
Speaker 6: But I think you. I think you're in a nice
Speaker 6: I think you're in.
Speaker 1: A nice But I just wanted to again. I want
Speaker 1: to be known. I am prepared to get him to
Speaker 1: Maine if we need to get him to make.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get chance to be able to put him to sleep,
Speaker 2: use your leftover money to buy him a plane ticket
Speaker 2: like something like that.
Speaker 6: That's my that's my pick, crazy and I love it.
Speaker 4: All right, Rosie, you're right with pick three h two.
Speaker 4: You have a whopping eighty nine dollars left in your budget.
Speaker 4: You have your pick of the field.
Speaker 6: I'm going next.
Speaker 2: I'm so I do have not as much as a
Speaker 2: kind of streamlined plan as Jason, but I do have
Speaker 2: like a plan of attack. So obviously with Chuck, he's
Speaker 2: like at the back, he's kind of just like doing
Speaker 2: some voodoo. He's trying to put his spirit into Homelander.
Speaker 2: The biggest issue with chucky. I will say that I'm
Speaker 2: aware of is like if he did manage to put
Speaker 2: his spirit into Homelander, arguably would be worse than Homelander.
Speaker 2: So I could have set up a very bad situation here.
Speaker 2: But we have the two one thousand. He's kind of
Speaker 2: our defensive character. So I'm going a bit out there.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start spending that money a little bit. I
Speaker 2: am picking Denari's and Drogon. They are my next pick.
Speaker 2: Drogon obviously is the big play here. Denaries she is unstable,
Speaker 2: She's not reliable.
Speaker 6: We learned that.
Speaker 2: But I think that in the world of the Boys,
Speaker 2: a dragon is a very powerful being.
Speaker 6: I think that we could.
Speaker 2: Bring in some really really nice airplay there, fire play, make.
Speaker 6: Homeland a run around a bit the T one thousand
Speaker 6: on the ground.
Speaker 2: Denara's in the air with Drogon and you know, a
Speaker 2: little chucky voodoo action.
Speaker 6: I think We've got some good chaos going on there.
Speaker 2: So that's She's She's my next pick, but really it's
Speaker 2: for Drogon, Like I just want to say that, like
Speaker 2: we know that the dragon is the real big big
Speaker 2: thing here. A dragon fire versus heat ray? Which one
Speaker 2: works more? I would as a person who believes, for
Speaker 2: some reason, the older archaic magic feels more powerful. I
Speaker 2: feel like the Dragonfire is gonna beat But also what
Speaker 2: a sick fight that.
Speaker 6: Will be for the finale.
Speaker 2: And it's really always gonna be about my last pick
Speaker 2: because I'm really just wearing homelanded down here in many
Speaker 2: different ways.
Speaker 7: Okay, Jason's strategy has made me rethink a little bit
Speaker 7: what I'm doing here. Guess yourself, No, but I think
Speaker 7: I think I can still pull something together that's going
Speaker 7: to get the job done with this new with this
Speaker 7: new mindset. So this is not someone I was originally targeting,
Speaker 7: but now thinking about it, I think this, this will
Speaker 7: will have a bigger impact. So this is a not
Speaker 7: a controversial pick, but I think a unexpected pick. I'm
Speaker 7: gonna go Ryan.
Speaker 6: Okay, like like I like this, I really like like.
Speaker 7: Family drama. We know, obviously Homelander is going to be conflicted.
Speaker 7: This is the only person in the world besides himself
Speaker 7: that he cares about. I don't think he's gonna He's
Speaker 7: not gonna want to fight or kill his kid. And
Speaker 7: if in the event that Homelander does actually end up
Speaker 7: killing Ryan, Night King, bring him right back.
Speaker 3: That's gonna fuck with.
Speaker 1: Homelanders head at five dollars.
Speaker 3: That's that's a steal at five dollars.
Speaker 1: Absolutely a steal at five.
Speaker 7: The ultimate psychological weapon to torment Homelander's mind, his reanimated
Speaker 7: corpse son coming back to try to attack him over
Speaker 7: and over.
Speaker 6: And Okay, I like that.
Speaker 2: You're going very evil there, planning for the death of
Speaker 2: a child.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 7: I think that I'm trying to wear him down mentally.
Speaker 7: That's good, So then Wanda can get in there and
Speaker 7: do her thing.
Speaker 4: All right, We're going to just recap real quick. Jason's
Speaker 4: team Team one has fifteen dollars remaining. They got Professor
Speaker 4: X for sixty dollars, Freddy Krueger for ten dollars, and
Speaker 4: Penny Wise for fifteen dollars. Rosie, you have sixty four
Speaker 4: dollars remaining. You chose Chucky for one dollar, t one
Speaker 4: thousand for ten dollars, and Denaris and Drogon for twenty
Speaker 4: five dollars, and Ian you have exactly twenty left. You
Speaker 4: have chosen the Night King for fifteen, Scarlet Witch for sixty,
Speaker 4: and then Ryan for five.
Speaker 5: That's a good spread.
Speaker 6: Ian, I liked.
Speaker 1: I like you spending your money this spread.
Speaker 4: We have a lot of kid issues on Ian's side.
Speaker 4: I can see where that bill say. I do think
Speaker 4: kid avengers over here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 6: Potential issues with a scarlet witch.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna It'll get over it for one day.
Speaker 3: The thing is good. Lucks like we got a job.
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's what the Avengers and doctor Strange thought before.
Speaker 5: Moly, that's mad just too.
Speaker 6: But sadly she couldn't look in that thing. Oh guys,
Speaker 6: this is tough.
Speaker 2: I'm stuck between two really dumb picks from my law.
Speaker 4: We are we have space for a veto. Now, Jason,
Speaker 4: you have been priced out. You only have fifteen dollars.
Speaker 4: You cannot veto anyone and Ian I you would have
Speaker 4: to make a really good case because if you vetoed,
Speaker 4: you would lose all of your remaining money and not
Speaker 4: be able to select a third option. Now you are
Speaker 4: flush with cash, you can't take it into the next
Speaker 4: league year. So if you wanted to make a veto,
Speaker 4: you could, but then you prevent yourself from picking up
Speaker 4: the sixty dollars level and you'd have to pick up
Speaker 4: a twenty five or under.
Speaker 6: It is not in my budget currently from my plans.
Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna skip the veto entirely in your
Speaker 4: final selection of this year's draft.
Speaker 5: Where are you going with twenty dollars remaining?
Speaker 7: This one is tough because I had a plan in
Speaker 7: mind that obviously we've gone away from. This is someone
Speaker 7: that I wanted to pick early. This is not my pick.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying, just walking through the thought process, I
Speaker 7: was I wanted I wanted Batman really bad, so I
Speaker 7: wanted that the strategy, the the you know he I
Speaker 7: feel I could get in the homelander's mind with given
Speaker 7: the prep time.
Speaker 6: He would also have a file on him, definitely.
Speaker 7: Exactly, and I feel like he'd be calling the game
Speaker 7: from the batcave.
Speaker 3: You'd be calling in remote because like, if he's on
Speaker 3: the field, he's getting dusted.
Speaker 4: Just want to point out Batman is still on the
Speaker 4: board for ten dollars.
Speaker 3: Yes, but I'm thinking bigger picture.
Speaker 7: I think I'm gonna pivot and I'm gonna go with
Speaker 7: Soldier Boy as the final because again, the family connection,
Speaker 7: the mental manipulation.
Speaker 3: This is Papa who hates him his day exactly.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to torment his mind and then have Wonda
Speaker 7: erase him from existence. And also Soldier Boy has the
Speaker 7: power to burn the compound V right out of.
Speaker 3: His blood with those energy blasts.
Speaker 7: So that's our backup fail safe. If it's not looking good,
Speaker 7: like Soldier Boy, just pop one off. Let's burn that
Speaker 7: V out of his blood. So I'm gonna go with
Speaker 7: Soldier Boy strength wise, I think they're kind of a match,
Speaker 7: so we can combat with the physical raw strength there.
Speaker 7: And I think with this team that I put together,
Speaker 7: I think we stand a good chance of taking him down.
Speaker 7: We're gonna fuck with his mind, maybe remove his powers
Speaker 7: racing from existence. You got an unlimited supply of goons
Speaker 7: of undead goons to.
Speaker 3: Throw at him. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 4: And well you you went with the generational team. You've
Speaker 4: got some developmental prospects in Ryan. You've got old old
Speaker 4: players the Vets like Soldier Boy, and then you have
Speaker 4: the Night King, who's been around.
Speaker 3: For a thousands the beginning of the league.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, since.
Speaker 4: The beginning of the lead for the league much longer.
Speaker 4: All right, Rosie, you're fighting, Okay.
Speaker 2: You may think I have no strategy that I'm a
Speaker 2: chaotic person.
Speaker 6: Maybe I am.
Speaker 2: Maybe I didn't have a strategy, Maybe I'm just making
Speaker 2: this up. But look at who I've got, right, So
Speaker 2: I got Chucky. That's a doll very hilarious, very entertaining,
Speaker 2: crazy choice two one thousand, very sick moves like cool,
Speaker 2: weird vibes can turn into weapons, very engaging character. I
Speaker 2: also then have a dragon and a beautiful woman. So
Speaker 2: all of this has been leading to one thing. I
Speaker 2: am going to spend my sixty dollars and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: Alas spend sixty five dollars.
Speaker 4: Actually, you only have sixty four because Chucky was one
Speaker 4: eye sixty nine.
Speaker 5: You have sixty four.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no.
Speaker 6: Talking horribly wrong, guys, I'm going take that back. I
Speaker 6: got no plan. I'm going there's a lot of value
Speaker 6: up there. No, it was only all of my plan.
Speaker 4: By the way, guys, rid if you want to be
Speaker 4: true chaos, try to bring someone in from off the
Speaker 4: board I can make I'm considering it.
Speaker 2: I'm considering pitching that that was my secondary plan. I
Speaker 2: do want to say all of this was leading to
Speaker 2: the fact that I was just trying to make Saama
Speaker 2: not bored.
Speaker 6: So that he would do the one.
Speaker 2: Punch to kill Homeland because he was interested. But this
Speaker 2: is why, guys, I don't even have a ged so
Speaker 2: you should get one of those.
Speaker 6: I don't how to do that, so.
Speaker 2: Instead I'm going back down the board to some of
Speaker 2: my other potentials. I okay, So I have considered if
Speaker 2: we're talking about the World of the Boys, this is
Speaker 2: less of a funny pick, which obviously I prefer to do.
Speaker 2: But I am considering asking the commissioner about bringing in
Speaker 2: Marie Moreau from gen V. But I will say the
Speaker 2: Homelander killer, the Homelander kills Kobe, stoppers Kobe, the farm
Speaker 2: out of Ayo, of the league.
Speaker 3: Don't get me started.
Speaker 2: Don't even get me started. But I'm considering it. But
Speaker 2: I also wonder if she's too Opie because for the price,
Speaker 2: because she her whole kind of story arc has now
Speaker 2: been that she is about to, you know, kill Homelander,
Speaker 2: which was kind of always what her purpose was. So
Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure on where the commissioner
Speaker 2: would price her.
Speaker 6: So I'm wondering about that.
Speaker 2: My I think I may just commit to the chaos
Speaker 2: and actually, uh, you know, so Tom is a good pick,
Speaker 2: but also like, I don't know if I like it
Speaker 2: easy fight like that anyway, like one punch, I think
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go a bit more chaotic for someone that
Speaker 2: I think honestly would have fit Jason's roster pretty well.
Speaker 6: And I'm gonna go before you pick.
Speaker 5: Do you want me to tell me what?
Speaker 6: You tell me what you would cost Marie At?
Speaker 4: I mean, you have sixty four dollars and Saitama is
Speaker 4: sixty five. Everyone else is sixty and under I'm going
Speaker 4: to allow you to use Marie.
Speaker 5: You can take Marie At.
Speaker 4: I'll price her at twenty five and you can have her,
Speaker 4: and you know, plenty of leftover dollars there that you
Speaker 4: can't use and won't do anything.
Speaker 2: But okay, okay, I can't afford her. Let me see
Speaker 2: so I can afford her, you know, twenty five. I
Speaker 2: do think that that's a good value add But she's
Speaker 2: new to the game. She's also potentially being manipulated by
Speaker 2: sci fi. She also doesn't really know how to use
Speaker 2: her powers, so she can be a kind of a
Speaker 2: reckless choice. I think that to continue, I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: the chaos angle. I think because I didn't get Saitama,
Speaker 2: and I am gonna actually go for I'm gonna spend
Speaker 2: fifteen final dollars and I'm gonna get Pinhead because oh.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's agree. When I thought about pin Head, I.
Speaker 6: Was gonna say he could fit your roster really well.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go for Pinhead because I think that the
Speaker 2: reality of who could actually beat Homelander and who's gonna
Speaker 2: kill him, It's probably gonna be Pinhead. He hates an
Speaker 2: evil guy, he hates a dumb guy. He can always
Speaker 2: trick someone into touching a box. I feel like Homelander
Speaker 2: would definitely just like look at the Lament configuration and go,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Could solve this. He's kind of dumb.
Speaker 2: I also feel like, by the time that he's being
Speaker 2: like burned by dragons and you know, chased around by
Speaker 2: an unstoppable killing machine and also being constantly voodoo cursed
Speaker 2: by a doll, I feel like if Pinhead comes to
Speaker 2: him and it's like, I have such sites to show you,
Speaker 2: do you want to escape this terrible world, he'd probably
Speaker 2: just say yes and then get you know, taken into
Speaker 2: the Men configuration and turned around and chopped into fifteen
Speaker 2: million pieces and take into a different dimension. So I'm
Speaker 2: I'm saying I'm going for pinnat fifteen.
Speaker 4: That's my final team, all right, Jason, your final pick
Speaker 4: fifteen dollars.
Speaker 5: A lot of choices there at fifteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of choices at fifteen. Like Ian said,
Speaker 1: I think at this point I need a brain and
Speaker 1: I was pricing in several several options at brain. But
Speaker 1: he's there and I think he's he's one of the
Speaker 1: best to ever lace him up. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the Bruce Wayne, the Batman.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's a good choice.
Speaker 1: It's a solid choice choice to just kind of call
Speaker 1: all the shots. Professor X, you know, is going to
Speaker 1: be he can provide the mental link so that Bruce
Speaker 1: Wayne's you know, orders are going out to the entire team.
Speaker 1: But you know, Charles is not that kind of strategic mastermind.
Speaker 1: Bruce is going to be the one, Like, do we
Speaker 1: need to get this guy to Maine. We can do that.
Speaker 1: We can figure that out. You know, again, with time,
Speaker 1: I think you could figure it out.
Speaker 2: You make he could have a private jet.
Speaker 6: To take him to Maine.
Speaker 1: Somehow, you know, lure him to Maine, or like a
Speaker 1: vision of of Elizabeth Sho's character, you know, go in
Speaker 1: Maine something something. We can get him there. We can
Speaker 1: get him there if we have bouts on side. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Batman.
Speaker 5: Also, I like.
Speaker 2: How you really came in there at the end with
Speaker 2: the You did the psychic kind of the trio and
Speaker 2: then you got your strategy.
Speaker 6: Guy.
Speaker 2: I think that's really clever. He's kind of like a
Speaker 2: general manager essentially. If you need him to come in, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he can throw a little the coach playoff.
Speaker 1: The coach on the floor while Pennywise and Freddy Krueger
Speaker 1: in there playing the two man games.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly inside.
Speaker 4: The mind of Homelander. Now, Rosie, you are only one
Speaker 4: with money left. You have forty nine dollars. We haven't
Speaker 4: used the veto in all this round. Do you want
Speaker 4: to throw a wrench into either Jason or Ian's plans?
Speaker 5: Do you?
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna remind you. Ian chose Soldier Boy to
Speaker 4: go with his already sort of boys focused team. Jason
Speaker 4: chose Batman to be able to provide the brains. You've
Speaker 4: heard their reasoning for each of these picks. Do you
Speaker 4: want to mess with any of them?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm going to be honest if it
Speaker 2: was if it was a Veto from another round. At
Speaker 2: this point, I think I could really fuck with them,
Speaker 2: but I think not to insult.
Speaker 6: This is the nature of the draft.
Speaker 2: I think that both of those are like weaker picks
Speaker 2: in their round, So I mean in the I think
Speaker 2: they're going to allow to have them. I think my
Speaker 2: Chaos team has still has a chance, So no Veto's
Speaker 2: I want to see where this goes.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, like like a like a really good GM.
Speaker 4: You've managed to throw a little bit of trash talk
Speaker 4: in there.
Speaker 5: I need to be anything. These were bass.
Speaker 6: That was fine.
Speaker 2: It's like what Soldier Boy has been in the show
Speaker 2: for like two weeks. Batman, he can't do nothing. He dun,
Speaker 2: what's he gonna do?
Speaker 6: Like he's rich? We get it, no, no, but he does.
Speaker 2: That does give him ultimate power in this real true everyone,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of rich people in the boys.
Speaker 5: Who has a lot of rich people?
Speaker 1: All right, well, I guess we are going now to
Speaker 1: the judging.
Speaker 4: Before we get to judging, Jason, will you just give
Speaker 4: me your general team strategy. I know you've talked through
Speaker 4: it a little bit, but I just want to hear
Speaker 4: from you with your four you have Professor X, Freddy, Pennywise,
Speaker 4: and Batman.
Speaker 5: Tell me your battle plan. What you're writing up plays
Speaker 5: for these guys. What do you think?
Speaker 1: Well, my my battle plan is basically, Professor X stun
Speaker 1: locks Homelander, puts him into a state of unconsciousness. In
Speaker 1: goes Freddy Krueger, in goes penny Wise. They start torturing
Speaker 1: him with you know, all the divisions of his greatest fears.
Speaker 1: They really close the loop essentially and end up killing Homeland.
Speaker 1: That's where my lethality comes from, with Professor X providing
Speaker 1: you know, other psychic attacks during this, but it's really
Speaker 1: gonna be penny Wise and Freddy Krueger in there doing
Speaker 1: the chopping, and you have Batman providing planning and logistical help.
Speaker 1: If it is the case that we need to get Homelander,
Speaker 1: you know, inside the Native American enclosure in Maine in
Speaker 1: order to really access the full breadth of Pennywise's powers,
Speaker 1: I'm depending on Batman to get that done somehow, and
Speaker 1: then Batman will also be just kind of like team
Speaker 1: controlled team management. I understand that Freddy can get carried away.
Speaker 1: I understand that Pennywise also can get carried away. I'm
Speaker 1: actually more worried about Freddy Krueger in terms of his
Speaker 1: flightiness and the one liners, and he's going to keep
Speaker 1: his mind on the.
Speaker 6: Job so many puts.
Speaker 1: Pennywise, I'm less worried about. Once he gets a taste
Speaker 1: of that juicy fear inside this like incredible life force,
Speaker 1: this guy is going to be slurping, ready to eat.
Speaker 1: So that is my plan, essentially, scramble, scramble the brains,
Speaker 1: let the fearmongers get in there and do the killing Batman.
Speaker 1: For strategy and logistical support, it's a.
Speaker 4: Good, amazing give me a quick breakdown of what your strategy. Okay,
Speaker 4: you have Chucky T one thousands and drogon.
Speaker 6: I do have a plan. I'm shockingly I do have
Speaker 6: a plan.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the first plan T one thousand is beginning
Speaker 2: the fight. Homeland is gonna be sure that he can
Speaker 2: defeat him. He just looks like some random cop, but actually,
Speaker 2: you know, incredible crazy reconstitution powers, very futuristic, by the way,
Speaker 2: still ahead of where we are today, skynet powers. So
Speaker 2: that's gonna be my first level of distraction. That's basically
Speaker 2: what I'm playing here, and just as it may seem
Speaker 2: like it's getting a little bit too spicy for the
Speaker 2: T one thousand, we're gonna have D and D come
Speaker 2: in from the top there, Denari's and Drogon the aerial attack,
Speaker 2: you know, keeping Homeland and busy trying to fight him.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be trying to fight them. We're gonna get
Speaker 2: that big incredible moment with the dragonfire versus the heat ray,
Speaker 2: and obviously I do hope that Drogon survives, but they
Speaker 2: are in this point.
Speaker 6: That is really all they're.
Speaker 2: Meant to get up to, because at that moment, Chucky
Speaker 2: is in the local toy shop buying a Homelander action figure,
Speaker 2: stealing it probably, and then he is gonna voodoo. He's
Speaker 2: gonna use his voodoo skills while Homelander is distracted by
Speaker 2: the dragon fight and the T one thousand to transport
Speaker 2: Homelander's soul into the action figure, and then Pinhead will
Speaker 2: come and take the action figure straight to Hell with
Speaker 2: Homelander's soul in it.
Speaker 6: Boom, So they're done.
Speaker 1: He's done for.
Speaker 6: He's done for. He's in house. Thank you. I tell
Speaker 6: you what it came. It came out In the end,
Speaker 6: it came out.
Speaker 5: It worked out.
Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking on the fly, but I
Speaker 2: solved it.
Speaker 6: In the end.
Speaker 2: And I think in the world of the Boys, most importantly,
Speaker 2: I feel like this feels like a plan that could
Speaker 2: actually happen. You could really imagine Homelander being trapped in
Speaker 2: the body of a Homelander action figure.
Speaker 6: Pinhead's a little bit out.
Speaker 2: There, but you know what, Homelander, he definitely feels like
Speaker 2: he would just fit right in in hell. He likes
Speaker 2: weird psychosexual sadomasochistic games, just like Pinhead.
Speaker 6: So I think it. I think it could work. Guys.
Speaker 2: I think I've got something here that could maybe work
Speaker 2: with a very affordable team. Someone else might be hiring
Speaker 2: me next year to save some money and put together
Speaker 2: an unexpected team.
Speaker 1: So Rosie as comptroller is pretty.
Speaker 4: Rosie does forty nine dollars left in your bank account
Speaker 4: after the draft, you could buy as many Homelander.
Speaker 5: Action figures as Wow.
Speaker 4: See Ian your team. He started with the Night King,
Speaker 4: went to Scarlet Witch, then Ryan and then Soldier Boy.
Speaker 4: What is your strategy for the fight against Homelanders.
Speaker 7: This is a multi pronged attack. We're hitting it from
Speaker 7: multiple angles. So first Night King, that's just we're gonna
Speaker 7: rush him with an army of the undead to physically
Speaker 7: overwhelm him. You know that they're not He's going to
Speaker 7: be able to take out the whites, but he's just
Speaker 7: gonna be overwhelmed when there's hundreds and thousands of whites
Speaker 7: just coming out of NonStop. So that's just to rush him,
Speaker 7: overwhelm him physically. And then we bring in Ryan and
Speaker 7: his pop Pop Soldier Boy with a mental manipulation that
Speaker 7: his son and his dad boat trying to kill him.
Speaker 7: That's gonna fuck with him, the one person that he
Speaker 7: cares about besides himself that he's not gonna want to
Speaker 7: fight Ryan.
Speaker 3: His son.
Speaker 7: Soldier Boy also has the extra acepist leave of the
Speaker 7: Compound V nullifying blasts. And then if that's not enough,
Speaker 7: it's still not looking good, we bring in our all
Speaker 7: NBA once in a Generation face of a league player,
Speaker 7: Wanda maxim Off, the Scarlet Witch, to erase him from existence,
Speaker 7: make it so he was never born.
Speaker 3: Fights over. We're done.
Speaker 4: Wow, great great team planning here, team building. I just
Speaker 4: want to shout out, I think the best value pick
Speaker 4: that I could see was Ryan. Ryan being priced at
Speaker 4: five dollars. I think that was an incredible picks shrewd move.
Speaker 4: As a manager's very impressed with that.
Speaker 2: Contextually, very smart. You took him to the real life
Speaker 2: of how it would impact that the players.
Speaker 6: I think that's very clever now, and.
Speaker 7: I think there's gonna be some good chemistry between Ryan
Speaker 7: and his granddad's soldier boy too. I feel like that
Speaker 7: the two man game with them is going to be unstoppable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can't wait for Lebron and his grandson to
Speaker 4: be on the same team and see how that works.
Speaker 4: I'm going to bring up a couple concerns for both
Speaker 4: of you that I'm a little a little dubious of Sokay.
Speaker 5: First of all, both.
Speaker 4: Ian and Jason, you you pointed it out already, but
Speaker 4: you got a little home away. Split's be got to
Speaker 4: worry about here now. Jason, we're talking about Maine. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we understand Homelander typically is in New York City, not
Speaker 4: that far from Maine. But you said you had this prepared.
Speaker 4: I want to just give you the floor to do
Speaker 4: a little bit more. How are we truly getting Homelander
Speaker 4: to go?
Speaker 1: Well, let's get the ruling first. Is is it a
Speaker 1: main Is his power or his powers main centric at
Speaker 1: the time, at this particular period in time.
Speaker 4: Anyway, I'm going to say yes, because so much of
Speaker 4: Stephen King's identity is main based. I believe for his
Speaker 4: stories that I'm going to say yes. It will have
Speaker 4: to Pennywise will have to be in me.
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's my strategy for getting him there. We
Speaker 1: are going to first of all, be incepting into Homelanders dreams.
Speaker 1: Correct the idea that Magdeline's still well is faked or death.
Speaker 1: She's still like he thought he killed her, but she's
Speaker 1: still alive. She's living undercover in Maine.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 1: And we're going to be putting these dreams, you know,
Speaker 1: just like over the preceding couple of weeks, you know,
Speaker 1: just like suddenly slipping them into Homelanders subconsciousness, so that
Speaker 1: at a certain point I feel like he's not going
Speaker 1: to be able to pass it up. He's gotta go.
Speaker 1: And when he goes and we get him on pennywise
Speaker 1: home ground, we spring the trap Charles Xavier with the
Speaker 1: with the huge mental blast that puts him into his
Speaker 1: sleep rem sleep. We send in Freddy Krueger, We send
Speaker 1: in penny Wise. I mean, Pennywise could just keep him
Speaker 1: locked up down in the sewers theoretically for quite a
Speaker 1: long time, maybe forever, but like he's gonna eat him.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be like, listen, you got to eat him
Speaker 1: right away. And we've got Batman there just handling you know,
Speaker 1: money transportation, moving Charles around, getting Charles to Maine. The
Speaker 1: you know, does Charles need a cerebro We can put
Speaker 1: him in the batcave and have making sure cooks.
Speaker 3: Something up really quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know. So finally, so we have Bruce
Speaker 1: handling those kind of logistics because we are aware obviously
Speaker 1: that Charles is not going to be have access to
Speaker 1: the X mansion. He's gonna need some stuff and also
Speaker 1: he can't he can't really move around that well, so
Speaker 1: that's gonna be.
Speaker 2: What but Batman could give him like a really good
Speaker 2: wheelchair as well, Like we know.
Speaker 1: Batman's call that it's all on the table.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: You actually touched on something I was gonna ask about,
Speaker 4: and I was wondering, what you think the chemistry will
Speaker 4: be between Professor Xavier and Batman working with Freddie and
Speaker 4: Pennyway at the same time, what do you think is
Speaker 4: going to be the inner team dynamic here, Because I'm
Speaker 4: a little listening.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think it's gonna be chaotic. I
Speaker 1: don't worry about Charles and Bruce, certainly not in the
Speaker 1: short term. I think Bruce will be concerned at Charles's
Speaker 1: power level long term after this mission and will be
Speaker 1: already thinking about ways to shut him down. Definitely, that's
Speaker 1: not going to interfere with my mission. Currently. Two things
Speaker 1: I'm I'm concerned about chemistry wise. One, Freddy Krueger just
Speaker 1: going rogue and doing some weird shit, being being like creepy,
Speaker 1: you know, Rodney Dangerfield. Freddy Krueger just doing jokes instead
Speaker 1: of like killing the.
Speaker 2: Guy, he's doing shopping, He's doing like a really.
Speaker 6: Good, like long joke time. I don't need that.
Speaker 1: I don't need like I don't need, you know, Freddy
Speaker 1: Krueger to Freddy Krueger. You know, I'm looking for like
Speaker 1: dream Warriors, Freddy Krueger. I'm looking for Freddy Kruger, you know,
Speaker 1: Nightmare elm Street one Freddy Krueger, very lethal Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 1: And I am aware that if he starts playing with
Speaker 1: his food, things can go sideways. But what I'm banking
Speaker 1: on is that penny Wise is going to be so
Speaker 1: thrilled with the meal He's never eaten anything like this.
Speaker 5: Guys, that's true.
Speaker 1: This is the juiciest, most powerful, most crazy mommy issues,
Speaker 1: daddy issues, son issues, scared little boy in a very
Speaker 1: powerful man's body that I think penny Wise is going
Speaker 1: to be the one driving things on the court to
Speaker 1: just be like, yeah, let's I want to I want
Speaker 1: to get this guy scared. I want to guy, and
Speaker 1: then I want to eat this fucking guy. So uh,
Speaker 1: that's how I'm I'm hoping to balance the issues that
Speaker 1: I see possibly arising with Frederick.
Speaker 5: Amazing Rosie, let's go to you. I have a couple questions.
Speaker 4: First of all, just just in general, what old take? Yeah,
Speaker 4: I admire your strategy going with the one dollar the
Speaker 4: lowest tier pick first, as if you were worried someone
Speaker 4: else might snipe Chucky in the draft. Do you knows
Speaker 4: part of your plan? So I'm very impressed with your
Speaker 4: team build. You have a lot of reliance it seems,
Speaker 4: on the occult, yes, and the idea of hell, which
Speaker 4: is something that how do you think that fits into
Speaker 4: the Boys universe.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that in a universe where there has
Speaker 2: been many near omnipotent superheroes, it would not be surprising
Speaker 2: if there were other dimensions. We know that there are
Speaker 2: in fact other dimensions that people can enter through bodily
Speaker 2: orifices and things like that. There are strange occurrences in
Speaker 2: The Boys, So as long as Pinhead's powers still work,
Speaker 2: he is going to take Homelander to a terrifying dimension.
Speaker 2: It doesn't necessarily need to be hell. It is hell
Speaker 2: to some and heaven to others, as Pinhead has said,
Speaker 2: more as I think a romantic analogy than it definitely
Speaker 2: being hell. I would also say that Chucky's powers could
Speaker 2: in the Boys universe actually just be a compound vesque
Speaker 2: power where you can just move people's consciousness in between bodies.
Speaker 2: So I think that while the occult aspects are definitely
Speaker 2: part of their original origins, I think that if this
Speaker 2: is a world where Freddy Krueger can enter people's dreams,
Speaker 2: I think that the similar equivalency of these supernatural powers
Speaker 2: would be able to translate in the world of the Boys.
Speaker 4: Now, Rosie, this is a slightly different question than I
Speaker 4: asked Jason. I have no potential read on what the
Speaker 4: chemistry for your team will be. So I'm not even
Speaker 4: going to ask something that I think I have any
Speaker 4: interest in unpacking.
Speaker 5: Whatsoever never gonna happen.
Speaker 6: It's bad.
Speaker 5: What do you think is the weakness of your team?
Speaker 2: Okay, weakness of my team is that every single person
Speaker 2: on my team is deeply mentally unstable. Like, there is
Speaker 2: not one like I chose a serial killer, a serial
Speaker 2: killer in the body of a doll first of all.
Speaker 2: Then the T one thousand, who is like I guess
Speaker 2: you could say stable because he is mission based, but
Speaker 2: we mostly know his experience and hit.
Speaker 6: Rate, which is not high seeing as he couldn't kill
Speaker 6: a child.
Speaker 2: Uh, but it is chasing down children, which I think
Speaker 2: would be good if he had to come up against
Speaker 2: the Ian's team, you know.
Speaker 6: But I'm not gonna lie Denares.
Speaker 2: We thought that she could be a true leader, but
Speaker 2: she is also very unstable and chaotic. But she does
Speaker 2: hate men, so I think that goes in my favor.
Speaker 2: I think that the chaos is going to be directed
Speaker 2: in the right place. And obviously Pinhead he has a
Speaker 2: potential to go rogue. But the good thing there is
Speaker 2: if he goes rogue, He's still gonna want to take
Speaker 2: Homelander like.
Speaker 6: That's good.
Speaker 2: Thing is, even if he's not taking him for my reason,
Speaker 2: he is probably still gonna want to take him. The
Speaker 2: only other problem is he could also take anyone else
Speaker 2: in my team. That's the issue that So, look, my
Speaker 2: biggest weakness is this is a pure chaotic evil team,
Speaker 2: but Homelander is also chaotic evil. So I think that
Speaker 2: there is a version where in this one fight, in
Speaker 2: this one finale, my team gets it done. Now, is
Speaker 2: there gonna be a high collateral damage?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Is probably everyone in the toy shop been stabbed with
Speaker 2: a kitchen knife that chuck he took in there.
Speaker 6: Yes, So I'm sorry guys, but maybe it's worth the
Speaker 6: cost to get rid of Homelander.
Speaker 1: Can I get a ruling on Homelanders heat vision versus
Speaker 1: liquid metal terminator.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say that I'm going to assume the terminator
Speaker 4: can reconstitute from the heat metal.
Speaker 2: But I think it would be like a I think
Speaker 2: it is going to be like in the movie we've seen,
Speaker 2: fire doesn't fully kill him, but it does stop him.
Speaker 6: I think the heat is a weakness.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna slow him down, and that's when
Speaker 2: Denaries is really going to have to come in Homelanders
Speaker 2: doing the heat vision.
Speaker 6: He's trying to melt him.
Speaker 2: He doesn't really understand how the powers worked the reconstitution
Speaker 2: and boom fire from the skies.
Speaker 4: All right, Ian, Finally you are the one who has
Speaker 4: Night King, Scarlet Witch Ryan, and Soldier Boy. You took
Speaker 4: two characters from the Boys, which I appreciate. I think
Speaker 4: that's a good strategy to take on two characters who
Speaker 4: we hope in the show are going to take out Homelander. Now,
Speaker 4: one of the things I'm a little concerned with your team.
Speaker 4: Who's leading this Who are you putting in charge of
Speaker 4: this plan?
Speaker 7: I think I would probably put either the Night King
Speaker 7: or Soldier Boy in charge. Soldier Boy world War two.
Speaker 7: He's got the military and the strategic battle experience. Night King,
Speaker 7: on the other hand, is.
Speaker 1: Not King Boskuy.
Speaker 3: Not going to talk about he.
Speaker 7: You know, he's commanded the Armies of the Dead without
Speaker 7: saying a single word.
Speaker 3: So I think both of.
Speaker 7: Them are sound, you know, military strategists and leaders. But
Speaker 7: I think we're gonna need a little bit more of
Speaker 7: a vocal leader, so I'll go with Soldier Boy as
Speaker 7: the leader of the team.
Speaker 3: But Night King when he's focus, he's super locked in.
Speaker 6: He is locked in.
Speaker 5: That's true.
Speaker 6: You can't deny that I'm unlocked in.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 4: And and my second concern with your team. You are
Speaker 4: very strength focused obviously with Night King with a huge
Speaker 4: number of potential combatants that he brings with him, and
Speaker 4: then Soldier Boy being able to kind of go toe
Speaker 4: to toe with Homelander Scarlett, which provides a little bit
Speaker 4: of a you know, forgive the pun, but the X
Speaker 4: factor there. Hey, I am a little concerned with your
Speaker 4: your proposed use of Ryan as almost bait for this villain.
Speaker 5: So can you just as like on.
Speaker 4: A moral leveler, Yeah, concerned with how you're going to
Speaker 4: use this small child.
Speaker 7: Killed, Concerned if I'm being too mean to homelanders what
Speaker 7: you're saying.
Speaker 3: No, no, no child.
Speaker 5: I'm concerned about the child.
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, you gott to crack a few eggs
Speaker 3: to make an omelet my boy. So I don't know. Also,
Speaker 3: like Ryan killed his mom, is he really even that.
Speaker 7: Good of a kid? Like you know, I don't know.
Speaker 7: Is Ryan gonna have PTSD? Is he gonna be fucked
Speaker 7: up by this he's already fucked up, so it's I think.
Speaker 2: It's okay, Anton, it's a while he's already.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to get the job done.
Speaker 7: It's like, do you want to win or do you
Speaker 7: want to feel good?
Speaker 1: I far be it for me to to help a competitor,
Speaker 1: but I I agree with it if you want to
Speaker 1: win or not.
Speaker 2: Like me and Jason moral and ethical standpoints on the team,
Speaker 2: Jason picked like a pedophile child killer, and I picked.
Speaker 6: I picked.
Speaker 2: I pick like a child adult that's a serial killer
Speaker 2: and a child soy that specifically only kills children. I
Speaker 2: actually feel like me and Jason, maybe the play here
Speaker 2: is for our teams to come together and fight.
Speaker 4: Ian's team for something because he has kids.
Speaker 1: On the team, and I think there's there's ethical questions
Speaker 1: all across the board.
Speaker 3: I got one kid who's got superpowers. It's fine.
Speaker 7: They got profiles to say.
Speaker 2: Maybe really, guys not trying to you know, unionize the this,
Speaker 2: But maybe the issue here is the commissioner who's allowing
Speaker 2: all of these moral and ethical teams into the play.
Speaker 5: I'm just concerned with what sales tickets.
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, for our final judgment, I'm going to say that.
Speaker 5: Uh, Rosie loves your team. I think you have some
Speaker 5: really interesting he said you out.
Speaker 4: I am very very concerned the you have some serious
Speaker 4: chemistry issues here going on. And and you know what,
Speaker 4: I'm going to point out, all three of you have
Speaker 4: members you drafted who are beaten by a small child
Speaker 4: at some point in their fiction run.
Speaker 5: So that's not a great start. Ian.
Speaker 4: I just can't I'm not sure how to deal with
Speaker 4: the child endangerment stuff there as a league, we're not
Speaker 4: we're not fans of that, and we don't want to
Speaker 4: condemn his team.
Speaker 3: What are you talking about.
Speaker 5: Now, Hey, we're just we're not having a magic.
Speaker 1: Singular files.
Speaker 3: It's got to be like fifteen by now, he's old enough.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, sure, really weird like to take a
Speaker 4: weird stance to take there.
Speaker 1: I mean, again, not to argue for but like it's
Speaker 1: a tough world, the world of the boys. Like either
Speaker 1: you can drive at this point, like I listen, is
Speaker 1: it ideal?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: But with Homelander is a threat that must be dealt with.
Speaker 4: You know, thank you, Jason and Jason might concern with
Speaker 4: your team, as you have pointed out, you are very
Speaker 4: location specific and you also have the concern of what's
Speaker 4: Freddy gonna do?
Speaker 1: But I think we can get there. I think we can. Yeahine,
Speaker 1: we can get to Maine.
Speaker 5: We can twenty twenty seven, we can get to the track.
Speaker 5: We can get to Maine.
Speaker 1: We are getting him to Maine. I'm we could do it.
Speaker 6: We could do it.
Speaker 4: I think the best team here is Jason's. And I
Speaker 4: think it's because I really appreciated your strategy, Jason using
Speaker 4: Stillwell as the bait and putting that into his dreams.
Speaker 4: We've seen how Homelander can can be con consumed with things.
Speaker 4: I think that was an incredible play. I really like
Speaker 4: the way your team was built. You you seem to
Speaker 4: have an idea from top to bottom what you were
Speaker 4: going to do with it.
Speaker 5: I really appreciated that.
Speaker 4: And I'm going to award the I guess the most
Speaker 4: hyped team award is going to Jason.
Speaker 3: Wow. Can I just can I just say? Please go ahead?
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 7: I'll just say, out of all the picks made today,
Speaker 7: I don't think anybody is more motivated than my team,
Speaker 7: specific Ryan and Soldier Boy, who have a personal beef
Speaker 7: with Homelander.
Speaker 3: Hey, yes, personal beef with Homelander. Ryan hates.
Speaker 7: This man assaulted his mother, fucking has emotionally manipulated him
Speaker 7: his entire life, is basically using him as a pawn.
Speaker 7: Soldier Boy hates he's tarnishing his legacy. This is the
Speaker 7: kid he never wanted to ask for, without without consent,
Speaker 7: to create this abomination. Now he's got to deal with it.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying, nobody's more motivated than my team to
Speaker 7: get the job.
Speaker 1: Let's close. Let's close with this. We're in the locker
Speaker 1: room and you're addressing your team. What are you saying
Speaker 1: to them as you send them out into the field
Speaker 1: to go get Homelander.
Speaker 7: All right, guys, this is Game seven, this is what
Speaker 7: we've been working for all season. Let's leave it all
Speaker 7: out there. No regrets. Okay, Ryan, I know this is
Speaker 7: going to be a tough one for you. You got
Speaker 7: a lot invested in this. This is your moment to
Speaker 7: step up and show why we picked you and why
Speaker 7: you're on this team. Shut down the haters, eliminate the doubt.
Speaker 7: Ni King, do your thing, Just just do your thing,
Speaker 7: big dog. Soldier Boy, I need you to be an
Speaker 7: extension of me out there on the floor. You're running
Speaker 7: the show, calling the shots. I need you to get
Speaker 7: everybody in their spots and bring us home. Wanda, just
Speaker 7: get ready for the moment. You're gonna get the ball
Speaker 7: when we need a big shot, So just be ready,
Speaker 7: have your hands up and go out there and execute it.
