Yeah, we're going to talk about an 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:58.240 unexpected announcement from HBO and the James Gunn of Verse 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.720 with the Lanterns series. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.600 Get Green lim and coming soon to Amazon Prime. 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.920 It's the unbelievably good looking Batman Cape Crusader trailer, which 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.440 just dropped this morning. In the l it's The Acolyte 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.720 episode five that will get people talking. 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.320 Are they gonna stop complaining? We don't know, but we 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.959 loved it. Cheat Code elderm. 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.440 Ring's new DLC Shadow of the Tree. We're gonna be 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.440 bringing in a correspondent for that one. And in Who's Who, 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.600 our favorite jaw dropping moment in gaming, which actually I 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.680 think I probably know which one me and Jason are 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:33.440 both gonna pick. 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.160 But first previously on. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.680 First Up. In what I would classify as a very 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.479 surprising announcement, I did not see this coming, HBO has 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:50.520 announced that they have Green Lid punintended a new DC 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:57.680 show Lanterns live action series under the ages of James 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:04.120 Gunn and Peter Saffran. Eight episodes covering your favorite favorite 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:09.799 Interglaca space police officers, the Green Lantern Force, and this 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.240 will be show run by Chris Mundy, who gave you 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.640 a true detective Night Country and Ozark and ep Heed 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.320 by a former CIA agent and comic book writer Tom 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:25.440 King and Damon Linlaw. Yes your thoughts. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.680 I was not expecting this to happen. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.320 I'm interested that they're basically leaning into the space cops 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.240 part of it, because that's kind of something we just 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.960 joke about with the Green Lanterns. It's not necessarily a 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.760 pitch for a TV show, but I love John Stewart. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.800 This is going to be how and John Stewart, and 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.600 the idea is that they kind of have to come 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:50.840 down to Earth to solve a mystery about a murder. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.400 In the American Heartland. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.000 I don't know I would. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.240 When I look for a green landin show, I'm looking 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.880 for something cosmic, something weird. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.120 I want to see aliens. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.800 So this isn't necessarily the pitch I would have picked up, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.680 but I'm interested. I'm very happy to see that James 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.360 Gunn is kind of directly taking from some comic book 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.000 stuff here, that is, with the inclusion of having Tom 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:13.440 King on. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:18.320 As an EP So, yeah, it's interesting. I will keep 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.320 my eyes peeled for this one. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:26.080 Yeah, I mean, a true detective influenced Lantern series. You 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:31.080 have my attention quite interested, and I do wonder if 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:36.640 tonally this will be in the same kind of mode 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:42.880 that we can kind of expect from the Penguin series having. 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:44.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.640 It's going to be that kind of thing because. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.840 The Penguin series does look really good and that leans 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.560 into that kind of mob crime aesthetic. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.400 So having another show. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.240 That kind of takes a different look at crime in 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.440 the DC universe, this more being a true detective style, 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.880 kind of actually supernatural grounded greed. That could be interesting. Actually, 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:04.720 I like that. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.280 I like that thought process. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:12.640 Next up, the trailer for Caped Crusader, the new series 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.440 for Matt Reeves, JJ Abrams and Warner Brothers animation has 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.720 dropped and folks were excited. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.880 I'm gonna say it looks great. And also, can I 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.680 just say something, David Zavlav, my friend, my pal, my 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.640 old mate. I need to tell you something, sir. I 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.039 feel like you are going to regret. 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.880 Not putting this on Max. After the absolute massive success 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:39.560 of X. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.680 Men ninety seven, I feel like there is a bigger 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:48.800 hunger than ever for animated storytelling in the superhero world. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.360 And you know what, I just I hope that. 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.839 Whatever money Amazon Prime paid you, and I'm sure it 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.800 is a lot, I just think this one should have 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.080 been on Max. I think it would have been a 0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:59.960 huge Max release. I think it would have added press. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.160 I would have loved to see it, But you know what, 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.919 I'm just happy it existed. Jamie Chung Harley Quinn looks cool. 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.360 I didn't realize it was gonna be like a cool forties. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.000 Noir set in the era of. 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:16.080 Batman, kind of just emerging and the Gotham Police trying 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.800 to stop him. We get to see some really cool 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.960 villains here. I also love that they went for the 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.680 old school, Golden age long ear Batman's shoe and the 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.640 kind of like almost like pathetic shoes, his little kind 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.800 of like goblin shoes. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:32.680 Yeah. I just thought it looked so good. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.080 I was excited for it, but I didn't really know 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.560 the premis because there's been so little talked about. But 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.159 it looked stunning and I can't wait. 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:49.400 Also featured in the series Christina Ricci, Selena Kyle, and 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.560 Diedrich Barter as Harvey Dan. 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.960 Yes, and this is our first time hearing Hamish Linklater's Batman, 0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:00.320 and it sounds very good. He's very great result and 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.880 very serious and he's ready to stop some criming Gotham. 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.760 I will say, what do you think the strategy is 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.120 behind the Amazon release? I do wonder if you know 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:17.320 Sony has I think wisely navigated the streaming era and 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.320 now the post kind of streaming era by saying, we're 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.560 just going to create content for other people and sell 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.520 that content. We're just going to create stuff that can 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.880 run anywhere that people will want to watch. You do 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.279 wonder if this is like a pivot from the Warner 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.680 Brothers Discovery. Okay, We're we're never going to compete with 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:44.200 Netflix on subscribers. Let's become a producer of content that 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:44.880 people want. 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.839 I think that is absolutely a large part of their 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:53.599 current and moving forward plans, because if you look now, 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.279 you can go on chewbe like a free ad supported service, 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.599 and you can see The Batman. You can go on 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.039 Netflix and you can see pretty much every Warner Brothers movie. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:10.400 Warner Brothers is no longer worried about having all their 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.560 exclusive content on Max, which now encompasses so much more 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.160 discovery programming and stuff. 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.320 I think that this is a way for David's. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.280 As love to get rid of that debt and make 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:25.040 this money, and I'm very interested about where we go 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.640 from here. This is also the second Batman animated project 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.080 that they've put on Amazon Prime after I think it 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.280 was called like Merry Little Batman Christmas or something, and 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.440 it was like really cute and it was about Damian 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.840 Wayne trying to be a hero at Christmas, and it 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:47.120 was very weird, super experimental animation, and again something that 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.640 I feel like could have been quite a boon to Max. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.240 But I understand that Amazon probably paid them a lot 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.800 of money for this, and if it means it's going 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:59.360 to get an incredible release, then why not, you know, 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.000 if it's gonna if this is gonna actually get pushed 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:06.000 and promoted, the cost is incredible. I think there's so 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.800 many other people in this role in this show, like 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.960 Adam pointed out, like Mini Driver, McKenna grace read Scott. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.360 We just don't know who they're playing yet McKenna Grace. 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.679 I mean, that's a good Carrie Kelly or Stephanie Brown 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:18.040 or something. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.840 I'd love to see that. But yeah, I'm very interested. 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:21.800 But I do think you're right. 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.880 I think that's what Warner Brothers is doing now that 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.000 they're happy to have their content elsewhere. 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.480 Next up, we get our first look at David corn 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:37.800 Sweat in his Clark Kent get up, as studio pictures 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.520 from the new Superman movie have begun to emerge. We 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:47.440 also see Rachel Brosnahan as as Lois Lane. This is 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.240 not too much to dig into, but let's talk about 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:52.920 what I'm seeing. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:54.880 Let's talk about Clark Kent's hair. 0:08:55.840 --> 0:09:00.280 It's quite bushy, and I think it's I'm you know, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.440 I When I think Clark Kent, I usually think a 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:07.560 kind of a fifties kind of like slicked back, slicked back, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:12.640 low pompadour kind of thing, and this is more of 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:14.600 a you know, a mop. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:16.280 Yeah, it's like a cuition. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.199 I was surprised a cool youngster's haircut, which I found 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.719 interesting but also could be an interesting twist on why 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.920 don't people recognize Superman when he's Superman. Well, maybe he's 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.079 not wearing glasses and he's got his hair slick back. 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.280 Also another cool thing that we saw from this these 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:39.720 set photos which leaked are the Eddie Gatheggi Mister Terrific, 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.400 which is like directly adapting that really famous Alex Ross 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.640 painting with the fair play on the arms and the mask. 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:48.400 It looks great. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.840 Was that was probably the thing I was most excited about, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.880 because I think that's a character who hasn't necessarily got 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.120 on his shine, even though I will say shout out 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.600 to the CW and Echo Kellam who played him on 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.000 The Seed, because that was actually a pretty cool take. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.559 But I'm excited to see a more classic take in 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:06.840 this series. 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.160 There's some other set photos that have come out I 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.520 think just today since since these more official kind of 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.200 set photos have dropped, that appeared to show Superman being 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.840 taken into custody by the military and also Rick Flagg 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:26.720 Senior and engineer. Oh, this is quite interesting. 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.880 That would kind of lean into our theory of like, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.920 you know, the the Authority are essentially going to be 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.079 like a kind of a government superhero body and they 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.440 already exist, and the question is is Superman did he 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.240 predate them or is he a young hero coming up 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.280 who's not working under the guise of the government and 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.600 they want to kind of control him. I'm very interested. 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.560 So it does seem like it will be a Superman 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.760 versus the Authority situation. 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:54.920 Coming up next' stepping out of the air lock and 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.200 talking about the Acolyte Episode five. 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:13.800 Yeah, it's it. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.719 We're in the airlock, look at us, and now we're 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.760 stepping out of it into the forests of Kofar where 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:24.080 things are. They're not going well for the Jedi, those 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.240 smartly dressed golden robe Jedies, well they got force flung 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.840 by the mysterious Master. 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:31.680 At the end of the last episode. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:37.000 He absolutely just rocked their ship like boom into a tree, 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.480 rocked the shit like it was bad. 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.560 And we join Osha who awakens next. 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.360 To the body, well very close to the body of 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.120 a dead Jedi, the first of many we will see 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:49.880 in this episode. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.360 Yeah, sadly the. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.520 First of many. It's not going well for the Jedi. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.000 If we were doing a scorecard, they would be losing. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:02.160 And interestingly, in the strange of red remnants of the 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.920 masked Force users' powers now it seems like was this 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:10.679 a tree or some kind of naturally occurring dust around here, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.720 But whatever happened, there's kind of this strange giant Force 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:18.440 handprint left from where he flung those aforementioned Jedis. And 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.199 as the sound of lightsabers rings through the forest, very 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.439 exciting for those who have been complaining there's not enough 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.959 lightsabers in this show. There's bad news for Osha because 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.040 the mask Man has his buff arms out and is 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.679 just absolutely cooking the Jedi. And this episode does feel 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.640 specifically targeted at those viewers who feel like there wasn't 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.719 enough lightsaber action in the show, because it is lightsaber 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:39.760 Battle o'clock. 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.880 It is a just an entire episode that is a 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.719 lightsaber s smaga's. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:49.080 Board of fantastic lightsaber work. There was a very famous quote, 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.200 I believe in the lead up to the show coming 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.079 out where somebody said, oh, we want to do better 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.760 fights than you know, the prequels. We want to have 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:05.120 a fight that's as good as the darth More lightsaber fight. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.280 And I have to say that is a high bar, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.680 but I think we do get that in this episode. 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:10.959 We do get it. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:16.240 And the camera work is great, the choreography is wonderful. 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:21.160 You really feel the swings, yeah, like particularly from Man. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.640 We'll get to this, but when Jeckie gets in the mix, 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.120 oh man, she is swinging for the fight. She's swinging 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.400 to take the Stranger's head off. 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.320 She's taking that head off. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.640 And I think something that we get here that's really 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:41.040 cool is we get multiple Jedi fighting at one time, 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.839 which I think we haven't gotten to see a lot of. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.120 And I think for a lot of people, like when 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.760 they were talking about the prequels and kind of the 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.320 fights that were in the prequels, especially the later prequels, 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:55.640 there was this promise of these epic Jedi versus you know, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.400 dark side fights that never necessarily came. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.280 And here you get them. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:05.200 Because you get them Jecky Saul, the Stranger. We're really 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.000 getting some good stuff. And interestingly, we see that Zipper 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.200 Face aka the Stranger, aka the mass Master, aka someone 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.560 else that we will reveal later has found a way 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.479 to disrupt lightsabers. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.400 Now, I was watching this very interesting. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.640 Yeah, I was watching this with my incredible friend Jewels, 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.440 which was very funny because he is like a Star Wars, 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.520 especially High Republic kind of mastermind. But he pointed out 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.640 that that's kind of like the nameless in the High 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:36.480 Republic books. They have a way of basically disrupting lightsabers. 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.960 But as some of our discord users pointed out, which 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.560 I think is probably what we're seeing here, it looks 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.680 like his armor is made of something like cortosis, which 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.680 is this kind of brittle awe which on contact would 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.920 cause lightsabers to kind of short out, and we see 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:52.880 that in the books. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.200 So it says I'm sad, Yeah, because he's able to 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:01.320 use his helmet to this direct disruptor the lightsaber blade and. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.040 It kind of instantly stops it from working, and his 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.600 kind of Soul fights Zipper Face and we get some 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.960 of that really good action, and it's really nice because 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.560 we get to see the light reflecting back. We get 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.680 the blue light on Soul and the red light on 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.440 Zipper Face, and it looks very dramatic. You're just trying 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.600 to wrangle Osha back to the ship. He's like, it's me. 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:21.600 I'm a cop. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.280 My boss gave me an order. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.080 You got to get back to the ship, Babe, I 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.320 can't go back, and she's like, we gotta can't leave 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:29.040 our friends behind. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.360 That's fucked up, and. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.040 They kind of continue this little argument as the showdown 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.040 between Soul and Zipper Face ramps up, and this is 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.360 you know, we get this great line that I think 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.840 all of us love, and Soul says, you carry a 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.480 Jedi weapon, but you are no Jedi. We love it 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.640 when someone says, but you are no Jedi. That's like 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.560 an iconic Star Wars moment. And the Latimer seriously says, 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:54.560 you don't remember me now, Jason, Big question bomb bom So. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.560 In our discord, there has been a lot of discussion 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.880 about does he mean because they met in the apocryphy 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.640 a few days ago, or because they have a deeper 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.160 pass connection that we're going to explore, Like which one 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:06.960 do you think deeper past? 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:07.960 I think so too. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.560 It's too heavy, it's too heavy. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.440 And also he's still wearing the mask at that point, 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.080 so why would Saul remember him? 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:21.840 Whatever thing is motivating Chimeer the Stranger against the Jets. Sorry, 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:27.840 Stranger against the Jedi feels too personal and furthermore soul. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.040 This entire series has appeared to be holding something back. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:32.800 Yeah he is. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.600 I think there's more we also learn here, which I 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:40.640 love that Sol the zipper face sorry is rocking essentially 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.120 a magneto helmet which stops the Jedi being able to 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.040 get into his head and Jedi mind control him. I 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.840 think this is very interesting because whatever happened to the Stranger, 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.720 we got some interesting lines earlier this season where where 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.200 Kaimer was in the apocrphy and he said, don't Jedi 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:57.560 mind wipe me Anna. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.680 That's kind of been like a recurring theme here. 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.120 We saw the Witches getting into the Jedi's heads, but 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.480 there seems to be this fear of what the Jedi 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.920 can do if they get into your mind. So let's 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.280 hold on to that and think about it. And Jeckie 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.440 fans rejoice again our favorite She's back. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:18.000 And guess what, she's badass, the little real badass. Like, 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:19.119 not only is she just a. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.280 Little half feeling joy to the whole, sweet innocent babe, 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.720 but she is a badass from the moment she steps 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.240 on the scene. This episode, there is this great handtam 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.960 fighting sequence with May that's super extended, and every time 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.920 I thought it would finish, it continued, and interestingly, narratively, 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.720 the pair are very equally matched with similar handtam fighting styles, 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.920 which I think adds fuel to the proverbial fire that 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.280 the man behind the mask is or at one point was, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.560 a Jedi, which is what Vnestra suspected because she was 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.280 like May has been trained by a Jedi, and seeing 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.639 how equally matched May is with Jeckie, who is currently 0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:00.440 a Padawan, that seems to support that theory. Deep in 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.280 the forest, Jeorde's trying to get Osha back to the ship. Still, 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:04.879 I don't know how far this ship is, but I 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.040 feel like they parked it too far away, and pauses 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.840 to give a little insight into zipper faces powers. He 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.720 can get inside my head and stay there again those 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.399 Jedi mind wipes. That Jedi's getting into your head. Osha 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.359 points out that is something we saw the Witches do 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:24.200 to torbin Irp to that man, and so is Zipper 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:24.560 Face a. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.600 Student of the witches? Is he one of them? Like 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:28.800 we're gonna find out soon. 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:34.240 I think that he is like another child like Ocean 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.359 I think that's what witches. I think, so we didn't 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.960 see that they kept hidden. Maybe they kept him because 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:41.480 he was a boy. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.399 Wowow, that's really good. I didn't think about that. 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.880 Yeah, like he's a boy or he's you know, maybe 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.480 because there was just one so it was all dark 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:57.159 side potentially. Anyway, zipper Face shows up and him and 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.879 Jackie battle it out in Ironically, in a show full 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.840 of fantastic action, this is some of the best action. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:08.439 We unbelievable, we get doubles, Jeckie's breaking out the double sabers. 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:14.640 She is completely on her shit, like on fire doing 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.720 great Soul comes to Jecki's rescue when it starts to 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:24.359 look a little bit dicey and uh smashes zipper Face's helmet, 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.280 revealing they're not so surprising true dunt dun dune, that 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.760 it was crime here behind the mask the whole time, 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.560 which we were wrong, but were not so listen not alone. 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.960 I think I think the show wanted us to know. 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:38.640 I think the show had fun. 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.480 Playing a drunken master trope, playing the surprise he's he 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:44.399 was right beside you all a long trope, and they 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.920 even kind of have a little meta moment here where 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.040 he forced drags May. 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.399 And he says, you really didn't know it was me, 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:52.880 even deep down. 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.760 And I just want to say congrats to Leslie Hedlund, 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:01.760 congrats to Manny Jacinto, because this is probably the sexiest 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.040 Sith of all time. There's always been a Sith fandom, 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:09.080 a thirst for the darkness and the dark side. You know, 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.520 the kids who would always rather be be hanging out 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.080 with Anakin even though he would have killed them. But 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.440 whatever as so as whatever was lost in surprise was 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:20.960 gained in hotness, I would say he's climbing up the 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.600 ranks of the hot Sith lords, most hot Sith lords ever. 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.600 You know, he didn't kill any babies as far as 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:31.080 we know, like Anakin, so Kaimer is very hot. Sorry haters, 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.840 And just like our Sol and Jackie are like clearly 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.840 distracted by the sexiness of the new Sith because boom, 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.440 he just kills Jackie. Like Jackie sees his face and 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.399 she's like, you're so sexy, I can't fight back anymore. 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:48.760 And also he stabbed her like three very specific places, 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:52.200 like which I think is interesting in a triangle pattern, 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:55.639 because my lovely friend Jewels, we were screaming, we couldn't 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.760 believe Jackie was dead, and Jews was like, maybe she 0:20:58.960 --> 0:20:59.960 survived because. 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:01.879 She's feeling and we don't know where her organs are. 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:03.840 But I was like, I feel like if that's the case, 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:05.679 he specifically was going for the organs. 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.040 I mean, it was like long lung, heart cool. It 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.199 was crazy that it was actually much more graphic than 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.880 I was expecting for a Disney Plus Star Wars show. 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.159 I do feel like they kind of kept that hidden 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.040 in a really nice way because some of the other shows, 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.600 like Echo, they've kind of hyped up like this is dark, 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:24.960 this is scary. 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:25.760 There's gonna be violence. 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:27.840 But in this show, we've been it's a bit a 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:32.359 bit more of a YA vibe, younger protagonists, this kind 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:35.240 of slow burn mystery. But this episode the Jedi get 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:39.800 got there is like a Jedi massacre. We and and sadly, 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:43.400 Jecki is not the only fan faith character who dies, 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.160 because almost immediately, guess who else gets killed? 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:50.800
