Julia Ganna fits that same mold. 62 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: But the reality is I'm not gonna get too excited 63 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: yet because I do believe there is a chance that 64 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: Deadline just were told she's been cast as Charla Ball 65 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 3: in the Silver SFA movie, and then someone there was like, oh, well, 66 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 3: she played you know, Charlah Ball was the Silver Surfer 67 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: one time, one time in Earth Facts, you know.

I can't do this. 173 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: And not just that, like something that I couldn't quite 174 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: that hadn't quite considered how exciting it would be is 175 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 3: getting to see these characters who some of them were 176 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: in the show but who didn't get to and that opening, 177 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 3: like getting to see Bishop in that iconic X Men opening, 178 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 3: and the way that they kind of reimagined it, which 179 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: for so many of us is an iconic maybe the 180 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 3: most iconic cartoon opening of all time. 181 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: It's up there with anime, and a lot of American shows. 182 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: Never get a theme tune and opening that is up 183 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: there with that catchiness of what anime can do. 184 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 4: It was magical. I went into this with. 185 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 3: Like relatively low expectations only because how do you build 186 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: on something that is so iconic. That Also, a lot 187 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: of what we love about it is more about our 188 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 3: own nostalgia for it, Like when you go back, it's 189 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 3: it's It was kind of rushed out, and the show 190 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily animation wise, there were rough edges, but so 191 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 3: much of what we love about it is our own 192 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 3: interactions with it and how it shaped our love for 193 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: these characters. So to be able to build on that 194 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 3: and create something that feels relevant in the modern day 195 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: that is in conversation with the audience, that also makes 196 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 3: the subtext of The X Men so much more explicit. 197 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 2: Much just that's part that the anime d beautiful.

Magneto then enters negotiations to repatriate any 284 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: mutant who wants to leave what is a what is 285 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: a very biased American society to the mutant nation of Genosha. 286 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: Should they wish to leave, If they want to go, 287 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: they can go. Rogue then uses her powers to acquire 288 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: the medical knowledge necessary to deliver genes baby. The doctor 289 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: didn't want to work on mutants, Okay, whatever, and then Storm, 290 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: now depowered, takes a bus away from the Seamen Leek, I. 291 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 3: Just have to say something here, and this is something 292 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: I love about the show this is a new power 293 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 3: for Rogue, Like she can she can take people's powers, yeah, 294 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 3: but now she can just take a human's talents. 295 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 4: Like I love it. 296 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,479 Speaker 3: He was a bigger he deserved it, but also terrifying 297 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 3: and fantastic. And I like this as well because this 298 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 3: episode basically rolls in a bunch of kind of. 299 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 4: Really important moments. 300 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 3: You get like the two hundred trial of Magneto, as 301 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 3: well as the birth of baby Nathan, who I believe 302 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 3: we see on the first page of that issue. We 303 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: also get Storm being depowered. But what is really interesting 304 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 3: here is that's like a huge moment in Uncanny one 305 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 3: to eighty six, but in there she's she's saving Rogue, 306 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 3: who's kind of on the run, this reformed villainess, and 307 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 3: she's about to join the team after Storm saves her. 308 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 4: So I think we're gonna. 309 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 3: Probably see a lot more about like Storm's connection to Magneto, 310 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 3: because that's a big choice and it would have been 311 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 3: easy we have broke it could have been easy to 312 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 3: do it for that, but they decided to mix it up. 313 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 3: And I think it also showcases just what a powerful 314 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 3: person Storm is because she chooses to do that even 315 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 3: for someone who used to be her foe, and if 316 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 3: we're lucky, this is gonna essentially lead to like some 317 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: of the best Auroro storytelling. You know that this is 318 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 3: some of the best era of Storm is when she 319 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 3: is depowered and she can still whip Cyclops's ass. 320 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 4: And I actually have to say, spoiler alert. 321 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 5: We haven't type of thanks spoilerer, We haven't talked about 322 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 5: this yet, but as a renowned, quite known Cyclops hater, 323 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 5: I must say they actually they did such a huge job. 324 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: He is so cool. 325 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 3: This is. 326 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: This is absolutely along with astonishing X Men, this is 327 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 2: absolutely one of the best depictions of Cyclops and why 328 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: he is the right leader for the X Men and 329 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: a strategic mastermind.

No one knows when. 379 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 4: It could have been a long ago. 380 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: It could have been a lot of love. 381 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 2: They could have been originally, it could have been after 382 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: the Phoenix lie. No one knows. Mister Sinister, an evil 383 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: geneticist who's been working on mutants since the nineteenth century, 384 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: switched them. What now with the real gene back the 385 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 2: fake Jane, who comics fans will know as Madeline Pryor 386 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: and who will call herself Madeline Prior by the end 387 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: of this episode, uses her psychic powers to turn the 388 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: mansion into a house of horrors, and she takes on 389 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: the role of the villainess known as. 390 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 4: The Goblin Queen Dun dun du dun dun duh uh. 391 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: And it's an absolutely trippy and crazy adventure that ends 392 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: when the Goblin Queen kind of you know, realizes that 393 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 2: wait a second, I actually do love these people. I 394 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: can't do this and I don't want to do this 395 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: whole thing, and she leaves, says call me Madeline Prior, 396 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 2: and then Ed's exits, and then we see that the 397 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: baby that Madeline Prior had given birth to is infected 398 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: with a techno organic virus. There's no known cure to 399 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 2: this strain of the virus. So Bishop, who comes from 400 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: the year twenty fifty five in an alternate future, says, well, 401 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 2: wa wait, and we might have we might have some 402 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: medicine in twenty fifty five that can that can heal this. 403 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 2: I'm going to take this baby into the future. And 404 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 2: that is the end of the episode. Folks, dude, I holy. 405 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 4: Cow, I knew so. 406 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: I think we had an inkling that they once we 407 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 3: saw that Gene Invited Comics was pregnant, we probably had 408 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 3: an inkling that it was. 409 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: Actually I think they'd do it this quickly. 410 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 4: I didn't think they would do it this quickly. 411 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 3: I didn't think they'd try and wrap it up in 412 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 3: one episode. And I also love so they did it. 413 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 3: There's a lot of changes. 414 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 4: Here in the comics. 415 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 3: Madeline first appears in Uncounty X Men one sixty eight, 416 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 3: and she's like a pilot in a plane crash. You 417 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 3: lost her memory, and her and Scott fall in love 418 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 3: and he's left because she looks just like ge, like Jean, 419 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: and he even. 420 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 4: Says he's like, oh my god, he looks she looks 421 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: just like her. It's like, okay, bro, I love that ner. 422 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's but the funny the interesting thing that I think, 423 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: and this is actually where I wore my Fantastic four shirt. 424 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 3: I do think I'm interested here because when Gin returns, 425 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 3: that was actually in a JOm Burn issue of Fantastic Four, 426 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 3: and it was super controversial because she was supposed to 427 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 3: be dead and it was a big deal in the 428 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: X office, but I feel like they're bringing in plotlines 429 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 3: from other heroes. I would be interested to see if 430 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 3: we see other heroes by the end, because, as we've 431 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 3: said many times before, the animated series of X Men 432 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 3: and Spider Man and Iron Man, even from that nineties era, 433 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 3: they were essentially an original shared universe. You saw all 434 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 3: different characters in each different animated series. So I'd be 435 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 3: interested to see that. I just want to say, back 436 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 3: on my Scott business for a moment, Scott sucks. 437 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 4: I just need to say this. 438 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 3: In this episode, as he is just a baby wit 439 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 3: this woman, this woman he has had sex with, this woman, 440 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 3: birth the child, and the moment, the moment real Gene 441 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 3: shows up, he's like, peace out. 442 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 2: I don't know, listen, here's the here's the problem. And 443 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 2: I don't disagree that that is factually what happened. I 444 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 2: think Scott, as he mentions in I think this episode 445 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: of maybe the previous one, he is dealing with some 446 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 2: very serious abandonment issues. 447 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 4: That's his father left. 448 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 2: I'd rather go party in space than raise my boys 449 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 2: and goes. Currently, currently the leader of the Starjammer is 450 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: one of the one of the most iconic deadbeat dads 451 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: in comic history. 452 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 4: Very likely we'll see some space. 453 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: Actually, there's no question we're going to see him. Then. 454 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: Of course, his his stand in father, Charles Xavier, also 455 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: fled to space, and so he's he has these attachment issues. 456 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 2: This is not to make excuses for him, but all 457 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 2: of which is to say, I feel for the guy. 458 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: Here's a question that I wanted to ask you because 459 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 2: I was to your point. I was amazed at how 460 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 2: quickly one they introduced this storyline, and how with such 461 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: alacrity they wrapped it all up multiple not just the 462 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 2: mattel In prior introduction, but then her morphing into the 463 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: Goblin Queen, and then the wrapping up of that whole thing, 464 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 2: and a reintroduction mister Sinister, the introduction of mister Sinister, 465 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 2: and the reintroduction of the actual, the real Jean Gray, 466 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: setting up potentially like an X Factor original X Factor 467 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 2: team offshoot happening. Does the continuity in X may the 468 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 2: animated series make more sense than in the comics. I 469 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: kind of think, Listen, I like the comics more obviously 470 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 2: as a comics centric reader, and I think the emotional 471 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: impact is more intense and different. At the same time, 472 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 2: if you want to just like understand what the broad 473 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: outlines of the comics are, watch this show, because I 474 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: was like, yeah, that's what happened. That's exactly what makes 475 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: it's so much more simple in this version. 476 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 3: This has always been my argument for them. For X 477 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 3: Men ninety two and also the Spider Man animated series, 478 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 3: I think. 479 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 4: Does this well too. Before. 480 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 3: You may not believe this if you're listening, but there 481 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: was a time when people didn't really rate those shows 482 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 3: very much because of the style of animation, like even 483 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 3: though we always had that nostalgic feel for them. 484 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 4: But my argument has always been, if you. 485 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: Want to know the biggest and most important arcs in comics, 486 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 3: watch those shows. In Spider Man, you can see the Symbia, 487 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 3: you can see Eddie Brock, you can see how Carnage 488 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 3: was created. You can learn all these really important things 489 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,239 Speaker 3: in a couple of episodes. X Men was great at 490 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 3: that too, the Phoenix saga. You know, these are things 491 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 3: that are so complex in the comics and can be 492 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 3: incredibly overwhelming, especially like if you're trying to find the 493 00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 3: Goblin Queen arc. 494 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 4: You're reading multiple different books multiplely, You're reading all the time. 495 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're reading the Inferno crossover series, you're all. 496 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 3: Exactly and this is a this is a distilled down version. 497 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: I think what's really cool about this that I love 498 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 3: about the way they choose to do this stuff.

It feels promising, 748 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 2: but it doesn't quite work, and Storm is devastated. Right So, 749 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 2: after this, Storm learns, because Forge comes clean, that the 750 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 2: weapon that stole her powers was created in part on 751 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 2: his own designs that he did for the government after 752 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 2: he got out of the military. It doesn't based on 753 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 2: you know, Forge's comics biographies. He was in Vietnam and 754 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,439 Speaker 2: then actually knew some of the marauders and then ended 755 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: up kind of being adrift for a while and then 756 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 2: did this work for the military. Storm is obviously feels betrayed, 757 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 2: feels disgusted to find out that Forge is not trying 758 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,320 Speaker 2: to help her out of this selflessness and willingness to 759 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 2: help her and help mutant kind, but out of guilt 760 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,399 Speaker 2: because of what he's done. So she leaves. She rides 761 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 2: off on her horse, but on the ride out, she 762 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,479 Speaker 2: encounters this magical al demon that returns her to Forge's house. 763 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 2: And we discover this because this al tells us as 764 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 2: it wraps her, and it's like gnarled talons that it 765 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 2: feeds on misery. It feeds on depression and sadness and 766 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 2: angst and Storm's heartbreak, the devastation that not having her 767 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 2: powers and losing her friends or her family is just 768 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,839 Speaker 2: like candy to this demon, and it will not let 769 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 2: her go. 770 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 4: And the episode it's terrifying.

So Charles, he's dead, what happened? 817 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 4: Okay? 818 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 3: To really answer this question in the nerdy way that 819 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 3: I want to answer it, we're gonna have to get 820 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 3: into full spoilers, so put your ear muffs on or 821 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 3: just skip until we're over probably a couple of minutes. 822 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 3: Charles may or may not be alive and in space, 823 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 3: and that will probably be coming very soon. He is 824 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 3: chilling with the Shea once again, gonna trigger Scott's horrible 825 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 3: abandonment issues because just like Scott's real dad, his dad 826 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 3: went up into space, and that is gonna become likely 827 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 3: a major part of what we see going forward. And 828 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,720 Speaker 3: I think that the MCU version is going to follow 829 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 3: that space Shea Star Jammers and explore it because the 830 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,800 Speaker 3: truth is we that's something we haven't seen with the 831 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 3: X Men properly. So I think the fact it's going 832 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 3: to come into play here and will likely come in 833 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 3: to play with MCU is interesting. 834 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,399 Speaker 4: So yes, if you're a big Charles Exavier Stan, don't worry. 835 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 4: He's not really dead.
