Speaker 1: Right, how's it going, y'all. Welcome back to another episode
Speaker 1: of Narrative sent Time. If you wide away and sitting
Speaker 1: across from me is Danny Fernandez. So this is coming
Speaker 1: out on Tuesday. It's been like a week and a
Speaker 1: half since Comic Con, a week ish. Hopefully we are
Speaker 1: fully recovered. Yeah, one can only hope. I actually don't so. Um.
Speaker 1: For those of you that don't go to concert or
Speaker 1: something called the con flu, people normally get sick after conventions.
Speaker 1: Aside from the fact that you're like packed like sardines
Speaker 1: in a can with so many people and touching so
Speaker 1: many things, but also just like I think your body
Speaker 1: is like exhausted. This makes it. This is like a
Speaker 1: really negative. What I was going to say, though, is
Speaker 1: that I always get sick before because I'm always stressed
Speaker 1: out trying to host and work and shoot stuff before
Speaker 1: comic Con. So I always get sick the week before
Speaker 1: Comic Con, which I did, so that I'm not sick
Speaker 1: after when everyone else is sick. So I feel like, no,
Speaker 1: that's not it. It's because my body has already developed
Speaker 1: those antibodies or whatever. Yeah, no, it's I think it's
Speaker 1: like a combination of that. I think it's a combination,
Speaker 1: especially in San Diego, where it's super hot outside, go
Speaker 1: inside and it's like blasting cold. It's just the perfect
Speaker 1: combination of events to make sure that you're sick after me. Luckily,
Speaker 1: I didn't spend too much time on the floor places
Speaker 1: most comic cons. I'm not on the floor that much
Speaker 1: unless there's something I really want to buy. But unfortunately,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to it, all the pops that I
Speaker 1: would have wanted sold out in fifteen minutes. I didn't
Speaker 1: even have a shot. Then I was talking to Kyle
Speaker 1: and his brother isn't a DBS fan, but had like
Speaker 1: he could have picked him exclusive. Yeah, he could have
Speaker 1: picked him up for me, but he didn't know anyone
Speaker 1: who wanted it. And I was like, oh, okay, alright, breathe.
Speaker 1: But you know one thing that's fortunate for me is
Speaker 1: as a like sneaker head and so on who wear streetwear,
Speaker 1: I'm used to re sale being like one to two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars more. Well, funco pop resales are easy. Compared
Speaker 1: to that, it's like, oh, I have to pay forty
Speaker 1: bucks for something, Okay, that's no problem. Like my first
Speaker 1: pair of Easy I've spent five on Well, that's why
Speaker 1: you got to be I feel like we're friends with
Speaker 1: some people that either Funko or the one that I
Speaker 1: know that sold out that crashed Um. I see you
Speaker 1: put it in our notes that Crash Funimation site is
Speaker 1: the West from Dragon Ball Super. Crashed Funimation are good
Speaker 1: friends at Funimation who we're working very hard to try
Speaker 1: and get those exclusives for people. People going crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's so funny because I do often sleep
Speaker 1: on how popular weis is as a character because there's
Speaker 1: so many I feel like in this new rendition of
Speaker 1: dragon Ball dragon Ball Super, there's just so many dope
Speaker 1: new characters that's like, who who do you want? You know?
Speaker 1: I think the same thing would happen if a Chomp
Speaker 1: of Figure came out, you know. Yeah. What I was
Speaker 1: going to say for people that don't know is that
Speaker 1: they had set up an exclusive like so that you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to necessarily stand in line, like you could
Speaker 1: apply early to be a part of to get comic
Speaker 1: con exclusives, which is a huge and when we say
Speaker 1: exclusives are like toys, figures, merchandise that is exclusive to
Speaker 1: comic Con, where you're not going to be able to
Speaker 1: get it other places, or you'll be one of the
Speaker 1: first people to own it. So yeah, it's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what I mean? You were every panel? Which was
Speaker 1: which panels did you do? Just as a recap for people,
Speaker 1: I did People of Color and Comics at sky Bound.
Speaker 1: That was moderated by Hector Navarro, who I love dearly.
Speaker 1: I also did a live version of my show Natural
Speaker 1: Selection a nerdis House. Oh yeah, if he was in
Speaker 1: the audience, um, laughing and heckling. Uh, both those things.
Speaker 1: You were a live program is so great because we
Speaker 1: had a live studio audience, but we also were live
Speaker 1: streaming to everybody, and so we had technical difficulties, as
Speaker 1: you do when you're when you are dealing with live programming.
Speaker 1: So I hosted that. I host a show called Natural
Speaker 1: Selection at noticed its debate show, and then when I
Speaker 1: did Brown Girls and Gaming, which was moderated by Danielle
Speaker 1: Radford at sky Bound, I had a panel called Most
Speaker 1: Dangerous Women where we actually debated about the representation of
Speaker 1: women and a lot of the films that have come
Speaker 1: out this year and not all not all that great,
Speaker 1: some of them even Superhero One. Some of them didn't
Speaker 1: fare so hot. Some of them didn't pass the Bechdel test.
Speaker 1: So that's great, But shout out to becktel cast here
Speaker 1: on our here on our network. Check out that podcast
Speaker 1: about the representation of women in media and film. And then, um,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I feel I've talked too much. Now.
Speaker 1: I did a bunch of panels. Where I did, I
Speaker 1: did a bunch of panels. But what I wanted to
Speaker 1: say was that it was very humbling. I used to
Speaker 1: go to Comic Con when I was ten, back when
Speaker 1: my family was living in San Diego, and I would
Speaker 1: stand in line to get the Dragon ball Z voice
Speaker 1: actors to sign my VHS tapes. It was a lot
Speaker 1: different back then. It didn't fill up the whole con.
Speaker 1: There wasn't as many people, weren't really as many lines
Speaker 1: and stuff. And to be asked to be on panels
Speaker 1: is it just makes me feel like my voice is important.
Speaker 1: And you know, we got to meet a lot of
Speaker 1: Nerdificent fans and just daily sightguys fans and just coming
Speaker 1: up and letting me know that if he both you
Speaker 1: and I that are our voices matter and are important
Speaker 1: in this nerd dumb So Yeah, yeah, thank you guys
Speaker 1: for being so dope. Yeah, it was fun time. This
Speaker 1: was definitely a good time for me, probably my like
Speaker 1: first time super professionally doing it. Like I've always had
Speaker 1: like a pro badge and like I've done a few
Speaker 1: panels before, but this is like the first time I
Speaker 1: like moderated a panel and like for a big company,
Speaker 1: which was funny because it was sky Bound, which if
Speaker 1: you were listening to last week's episode you know that
Speaker 1: you know they came from Image, and I talked to
Speaker 1: them about that and how they are carrying over for
Speaker 1: the Image kind of philosophy of letting it because just
Speaker 1: like Image, sky Bound, the creators of their brand get
Speaker 1: to own their ips as well, and they're they're really
Speaker 1: excited that, you know, they got a little shout out
Speaker 1: on the episode and also that, uh that we're kind
Speaker 1: of talking about that and both me and Danny work
Speaker 1: with sky Bound now, and I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if we mentioned that that yeah we're we're like
Speaker 1: now it's um but yeah, no, it was like super
Speaker 1: cool to do that, especially because like that's like the
Speaker 1: big the big thing. I mean, everything is big at come.
Speaker 1: Being on a panel is big. But like when you
Speaker 1: get to do the moderating that you know there's someone
Speaker 1: used to have a monopoly on it, and now I
Speaker 1: feel like a few spots are going to open up
Speaker 1: without trying to sound too messy. Then also I was
Speaker 1: shout casting and hosting an off site activation. They have
Speaker 1: this thing called Experience in San Diego where they had
Speaker 1: an e sports stage and people could three people would
Speaker 1: play with a professional Fortnite player and it was and
Speaker 1: we had raffles. Then it was like a legit raffle.
Speaker 1: I want to be like, I wish more people were
Speaker 1: able to enter, but it was literally impossible because the kids,
Speaker 1: like kids, kids had that thing lock because pretty much
Speaker 1: the raffle what we were giving away, I said it
Speaker 1: so much that I remember it. And we were giving
Speaker 1: away three four Hurts curved monitors, three g t X
Speaker 1: ten seventy graphics cards, and also one d X Racer chair,
Speaker 1: six boxes of the Dominion board game, six Roku Expresses,
Speaker 1: and eight Lucid sound headphones, which I think are great
Speaker 1: if you are an adult and above like, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: losing my mind at the idea of a eight year
Speaker 1: old getting a g t X ten seventy, like is
Speaker 1: gonna build it. I mean, because the thing is like
Speaker 1: if your parents like a like a supercomputer nerd, they're
Speaker 1: gonna set that up for you. But if not a
Speaker 1: parents are gonna be like what and will they even
Speaker 1: know that they'll be able to sell it almost a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars because of the crypto minors, you know, selling
Speaker 1: like it's it's insane, And I think we genuinely thought
Speaker 1: it would be an older base, but we underestimated how
Speaker 1: big the Fortnight is for kids. And when the kids
Speaker 1: found out that they had a chance to play with
Speaker 1: pros and actually have a chance, a better chance that
Speaker 1: when they were lining up, like the experience didn't open
Speaker 1: up till eleven, they were lining up at like ten
Speaker 1: o'clock and then waiting, then running to the table, then
Speaker 1: lining up because because they would open like a ten thirty,
Speaker 1: but we wouldn't start to leven and they would be
Speaker 1: just a line around we every time, every day we
Speaker 1: had to like sign ups filled up after ten fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: and lots of times we didn't even make it that
Speaker 1: far because of how long a game with a pro last,
Speaker 1: because you know Fortnite can last anywhere between thirty seconds
Speaker 1: to thirty minutes, but we have a pro player, it's
Speaker 1: always lasting at least thirty minutes. But like at first
Speaker 1: were like these kids, but then it became heartwarming when
Speaker 1: we found out like two main things made it hard warming.
Speaker 1: One these were like some of these kids first wins
Speaker 1: ever at this game, and you know, so like they
Speaker 1: are losing their minds because like this game that seems
Speaker 1: so hard to them that they thought they'd never be
Speaker 1: able to win. They just would lose it, and they
Speaker 1: would be so happy because this pro player got them
Speaker 1: the chance to get a win. And to the parents
Speaker 1: really loved him because they were on this huge kind
Speaker 1: of tightan tron up there and talking and the parents
Speaker 1: were like, is there a way we can get the
Speaker 1: footage for this? It was like it was wild. It
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, I forgot I think in the
Speaker 1: same way like Comic Con was humbling. Also, it just
Speaker 1: makes me realize how big video games are, like the
Speaker 1: like if I told my parents when I was a
Speaker 1: kid that I wanted to play this video game and
Speaker 1: get a win, I don't think they'd understand how important
Speaker 1: that is for me now. And I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of parents now get it, and we're super excited
Speaker 1: to help their kids have this win. Yeah, gosh, I
Speaker 1: was really proud of you. I liked seeing all the
Speaker 1: stuff that you were doing. What I was proud of
Speaker 1: you too. Yeah, I was seeing you up there there.
Speaker 1: This house was a cool thing, I think, uh uh,
Speaker 1: you know, because before it was at Pecco Park out
Speaker 1: in the sun. Yeah, and this kind it was like,
Speaker 1: I really don't remember my top broke. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: So if we're talking about behind this, and we'll get
Speaker 1: into some of the trailer drops and things that some
Speaker 1: of the big news that happened at Comic Con in
Speaker 1: this wrap up, but just you know, we like sharing
Speaker 1: our personal experiences. So I had a zip up top
Speaker 1: and my zipper broke in between my panels. Um, it
Speaker 1: was my fault. Well, I was wearing a one piece
Speaker 1: and if y'all when you have to go pee, you
Speaker 1: gotta take that one piece all the way off. It
Speaker 1: looks good, especially when it's add out. It looks good.
Speaker 1: I looked like it was funny. Hector was like, are
Speaker 1: you a character from Overwatch? Like it was just like
Speaker 1: a cool looking racer. It was like to to give
Speaker 1: credit to that and also help people image. It did
Speaker 1: look like a sexy widow maker like romper. Yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: it was. It was a short, little um one piece
Speaker 1: with like shorts and stuff. But you had to you
Speaker 1: had a zipp it. So when it was my zipper
Speaker 1: broke on my way to host my live show that
Speaker 1: was in front of a live audience and live stream
Speaker 1: to thousands of people, and I couldn't get it to
Speaker 1: go back up. So I just basically, if you can
Speaker 1: imagine if he put it good, I think when he
Speaker 1: said the dress that j Lo wore, the dress that
Speaker 1: j Lo war with it like going all the way
Speaker 1: down to her navel, that's what I looked. I mean,
Speaker 1: And I had to like we week because it was me,
Speaker 1: Danny Erica Ishi. We were walking there at that big anime,
Speaker 1: sweat behind my head the whole time, and then we
Speaker 1: got there and she put a shirt on. Danny was like,
Speaker 1: I need a shirt. Well, I didn't have tape, Iffy,
Speaker 1: and you know, in those situations, something might pop out
Speaker 1: and so um, something anything. And it's really funny because
Speaker 1: everybody was like, no, dude, but that's fun Like I
Speaker 1: personally don't care. I don't really care, but I can't
Speaker 1: speak for everyone on the live stream watching they might
Speaker 1: have cared, so you know it is against twitch t os.
Speaker 1: You're also like, yeah. It just also reminded me just
Speaker 1: how little I know about women's clothing, because I'll see
Speaker 1: shirts like that and I was like, oh, I didn't
Speaker 1: realize it needs to be secured. I just thought it
Speaker 1: was just the strength of the clothes that kept them together.
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I always believed. I was wrong.
Speaker 1: How are you getting around? Because those it was packed?
Speaker 1: Like I It was funny too, because coming from Wednesday
Speaker 1: to Saturday, it was wild seeing how incrementally more packed
Speaker 1: the sidewalks cat and it was rough. Yeah, everybody was
Speaker 1: using the service called bird was that Oh yeah, thank
Speaker 1: you for bringing that up. It was as a scooter.
Speaker 1: It's a scooter service that's popular. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they might have it in your town, but they haven't
Speaker 1: in San Diego, where you can rent a scooter like
Speaker 1: and just drop it off wherever you get this app,
Speaker 1: you just hop on you scooter wherever you need to
Speaker 1: go and then you leave it or you can keep
Speaker 1: renting it if like you're planning to scooter back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, there there was two Bird and Lime and
Speaker 1: they had bikes, but no one wanted the bikes. Everyone
Speaker 1: was on the scooter. And I saw one in Korea Town,
Speaker 1: so one had a Bird, and I lost my mind.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh this It was like you know
Speaker 1: when you like buy a car and you look and
Speaker 1: it's your car and you love it, and then you
Speaker 1: see the that model on the street. That's what it
Speaker 1: felt like when I was like, oh did this exist?
Speaker 1: And I just never saw it? But yeah, I wrote it.
Speaker 1: Once it goes super fast, at least the Lime does.
Speaker 1: The Bird apparently doesn't go that fast. The Lime zooms.
Speaker 1: I was worried also because apparently like you're supposed to
Speaker 1: wear helmets, but like the city was laxed. But I
Speaker 1: think and I knew this because I just know how
Speaker 1: bureaucratic infrastructure works. As more people came, they got more
Speaker 1: strict because if when it's Wednesday and it's like a
Speaker 1: handful of people kind of just going and there's not
Speaker 1: much traffic, you're like whatever, But when there's tons of cars,
Speaker 1: tons of people, and then you have these jackalopes on
Speaker 1: the like people were just riding in on the sidewalking,
Speaker 1: Like no, that's not. You gotta be on the street.
Speaker 1: And I know why you don't want to be on
Speaker 1: the street, because you don't have a helmet, and that's
Speaker 1: why you shouldn't be riding it, right right, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't even step on one because I'm terrified that
Speaker 1: I'm going to get hit by a car, which has
Speaker 1: already happened to me when I was walking across the
Speaker 1: crosswalk in college. Um, I don't wanna even add any
Speaker 1: more elements to make that happen. Uh. Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 1: a little I'm a little scared of it, but yeah. Um.
Speaker 1: The other thing that I saw that was cooled was,
Speaker 1: of course, because I'm a big Dragon Ball Z person,
Speaker 1: they had an interactive dragon Ball super area that was
Speaker 1: outside the Marriott, which was connected to the convention center,
Speaker 1: and so you could ride Nimbus, which is the cloud
Speaker 1: that Goku rides from dragon Ball Z. You could play
Speaker 1: Dragon Ball Fighters, I believe you could play there. You
Speaker 1: could like take all these photos with Vegeta and Goku,
Speaker 1: and it was was really neat. It was so cool.
Speaker 1: Another thing, like you were saying, it was so cool
Speaker 1: to see young people, young and old people getting so
Speaker 1: excited about it and the people working it were like
Speaker 1: really working it. There was a lady, an older lady,
Speaker 1: that was doing the photo booth and she was like,
Speaker 1: now do your hand like a maya, and now do
Speaker 1: it like this, Like she posed me in a billion
Speaker 1: different ways, and I just was like, this is so
Speaker 1: cool because this is what I grew up with, and
Speaker 1: it's just I'll never not be geeked out by. They
Speaker 1: also changed all of the elevators in the Marriott to
Speaker 1: Dragon moll Z characters, and I just thought that was
Speaker 1: so neat. Yeah, that's that's the first off and foremost.
Speaker 1: That's my biggest regret was not making it to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kept missing it. Also, I just literally was either
Speaker 1: doing the panel or hosting the thing, so I just
Speaker 1: didn't have like I was going to have like two
Speaker 1: hours to kind of walk around and do my Nerds stuff.
Speaker 1: But are Activation was so successful that the experience asked
Speaker 1: us to extend it an hour and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: but I want to go do Nerds stuff. But one
Speaker 1: thing that I remember when I went to the Funimation
Speaker 1: party the first day that they were so excited about
Speaker 1: is that anime was in hall age and I didn't
Speaker 1: consider that that like all this time in hall Age,
Speaker 1: we really anime really hasn't had that much of a presence.
Speaker 1: I'm sure like that they might have done it a
Speaker 1: year or so or any time, but since in recent memory,
Speaker 1: that's the biggest kind of anime hall age event that
Speaker 1: we've had in a while. And that's really cool, not
Speaker 1: only that you know it was anime, but also that it's,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like an anime that anime s
Speaker 1: announce try and look down. It's like, oh cool, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you like your niche anime, but it's not
Speaker 1: gonna Yeah, and just to remind people of what hall ages,
Speaker 1: it is the biggest hall where they do all of
Speaker 1: the trailer drops. Anytime that you see like the cast
Speaker 1: of Wonder Woman or Aquaman or whatever, it's going to
Speaker 1: be there in hall Age, people will spend the night
Speaker 1: overnight trying to get in. It's always so completely sold out.
Speaker 1: Impact and Yeah, and the fact that they had the
Speaker 1: dry Conball supermovie that's coming out there and it was
Speaker 1: also packed for that, and they had the voice actors
Speaker 1: there is incredible. That just shows how big that fandom is.
Speaker 1: If you're sleeping on it, it is huge. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I think I want to also echo because you're shouting
Speaker 1: out the people who were into it. Definitely, I want
Speaker 1: to shout out they kind of because a lot of times.
Speaker 1: And it was funny because Milana vine Troupe was talking
Speaker 1: about this how she was voice of squirrel Girl. Yeah
Speaker 1: she's a voice of squirrel Girl. Um. But also she
Speaker 1: when she she said her first comic Con experience was
Speaker 1: getting paid like a hundred bucks today to act in
Speaker 1: this and so yeah, these all those like activations that
Speaker 1: those interactive things are actors who are doing it, and
Speaker 1: so it's so fun to see them commit, and it
Speaker 1: is funny when they're paired with someone who doesn't want
Speaker 1: to commit as much. So I went to the d
Speaker 1: C Experience activation and for the Doom Patrol, they had
Speaker 1: this room where like it was supposed to be a
Speaker 1: chief lab and it's like a scientific lab. And this
Speaker 1: guy was given it his all, like if there was
Speaker 1: an oscar for activation was like, yes, welcome to my lab.
Speaker 1: And he was doing it. It was great. And then
Speaker 1: he goes like, what are you cooking up over here?
Speaker 1: And then the other person acting the boom was like, okay,
Speaker 1: so here is zebra popcorn and this is like just
Speaker 1: totally flat, not in character. But I was like, oh man, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so funny. And then did you get bombarded by
Speaker 1: the Godzilla one at all? That one where they stopped
Speaker 1: so they had a Godzilla activation where they had it
Speaker 1: was pretty huge, and I felt bad for the scientists
Speaker 1: because they had people in like the giant like yellow
Speaker 1: has met suits going around scanning things. And then a
Speaker 1: person in the sue would come to you be like,
Speaker 1: have you seen Godzilla activity? And I was this was
Speaker 1: out on the street. And what's funny is I was
Speaker 1: with my friend Ash blogg Itt and Brett Eagleston who
Speaker 1: were all like actors too, so weird, you know, because
Speaker 1: we love the arts are participating like yeah and we
Speaker 1: are yeah of course that. And then the second, the
Speaker 1: third one I want to shout out is the Jack Ryan,
Speaker 1: which they were pushing so hard, which I don't know
Speaker 1: the Vinn diagram of like comic book nerds, and it's huge.
Speaker 1: Well it wasn't just it is um the guy that's
Speaker 1: in Jack Ryan. Who is it? Jim Oh? Is that
Speaker 1: who did said it? Yeah? John Krasinski, Yeah that's that's Jack.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they had the whole Jack Ryan experience. That's
Speaker 1: so funny for him to be dead pan employee to
Speaker 1: like Jack Ryan. Uh yeah. Like they had these guys
Speaker 1: in all black, which it was kind of creepy until
Speaker 1: you remember you were at comic Con. They will pull
Speaker 1: out a paper with a Manila envelope a message from
Speaker 1: Jack Ryan. And the first time I was like oh,
Speaker 1: and the second time I was like noted. And it's
Speaker 1: so fun to play along with nerds, I do. I think.
Speaker 1: I was in the middle of the street and there
Speaker 1: were Sci Fi was having an entire band, a drumline
Speaker 1: and everything, and it was they were playing theme from
Speaker 1: like Spider Man, and they were just having so much
Speaker 1: fun and people were dancing in the street, and it
Speaker 1: was like, this is the best part of of nerd
Speaker 1: dumb like this, this is why we come here. Also
Speaker 1: because no one's behind a screen. Everyone is face to face.
Speaker 1: There's no fighting and arguing and saying awful horrible things
Speaker 1: to each other. It's just fans being nerds being nerds
Speaker 1: and geeking out and being you know, all dressed up
Speaker 1: and stuff and just enjoying these interactive experiences. So I
Speaker 1: really I love the fact that we have cons because
Speaker 1: I think it kind of brings everyone back to where
Speaker 1: how we started. Yeah, I was super good. Um, but
Speaker 1: with the number one thing that's the hugest attraction for
Speaker 1: STCC or San Diego Comic Con for people who like
Speaker 1: to say things that are really long. Are all those trailers,
Speaker 1: all those reveals and everything that's coming out. And we'll
Speaker 1: jump right into that after these messages. Welcome back. Hope
Speaker 1: you enjoyed those messages. We're about to jump into the
Speaker 1: fun stuff, the stuff that we were all talking about
Speaker 1: when it happened. Uh, And I think we'll jump right
Speaker 1: into it. But Danny wants to kick things off. She
Speaker 1: has a few things to say. No, No, I was
Speaker 1: just going to say something about because the first step
Speaker 1: on our docket is the Shusam trailer. And David Sandberg,
Speaker 1: who is the director for it, he previously worked on
Speaker 1: Lights Out and Annabelle Creation, which a lot of people
Speaker 1: actually liked. I find his story so fascinating. Have you
Speaker 1: watched the Lights Out short? Oh yeah, it's so great.
Speaker 1: But like to me, whenever people, whenever people are like, well,
Speaker 1: I can't make a difference, Like I don't have a
Speaker 1: whole production team and all this stuff, I'm like that
Speaker 1: man made a three minute short of his wife in
Speaker 1: his apartment and it launched his career from me got Annabelle.
Speaker 1: Like if you look at his IMDb, it's really just
Speaker 1: he worked on a couple of other things, but like
Speaker 1: that is what went viral. So go if you're want
Speaker 1: to be filmmaker trying to you know, anything, just trying
Speaker 1: to start out, whether it's in horror, sketch, comedy, or whatever,
Speaker 1: go look at that because that three minute short change
Speaker 1: this man's life. And anyways, now he's the director of Shasamne. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And what's interesting too that something of note that I
Speaker 1: noticed is a lot of these directors have a history
Speaker 1: in horror. So you you have, you know, Shazamne with
Speaker 1: David Sandberg who did lights Out, like you said, but
Speaker 1: then James One he started and Saw. I was for
Speaker 1: some reason, I was looking up the history of the
Speaker 1: Saw movies because I actually am an unabashed Saw fan.
Speaker 1: And he also did the Conjuring and then he did
Speaker 1: another superhero movie called Furious Seven. So so and I'm
Speaker 1: excited too because you know, you know, some people are
Speaker 1: like I don't see wise man, it doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 1: I like you know that that we have a person
Speaker 1: of color directing, you know, this Aquaman story. You know,
Speaker 1: we're we're mixing it up, We're giving shots to you know,
Speaker 1: people of color who you know normally don't get big
Speaker 1: shots like that. I mean, James One definitely is not
Speaker 1: a plucky young director. He has a storied resumes, so
Speaker 1: so it's not like they're really taking a chance. But
Speaker 1: it is cool to see them mix it up a bit.
Speaker 1: And I'm I do like a lot of people have
Speaker 1: been saying, you know, because look, we all know d C.
Speaker 1: Everyone feels how they feel about their movies, and but
Speaker 1: people are like, I'm gonna trust James Waren and I
Speaker 1: trust both these directors, and I think these are going
Speaker 1: to be great movies. I do want to say about Aquaman.
Speaker 1: So before Comic Con, THEE had released the poster for it,
Speaker 1: and somebody had edited it so it looked like because
Speaker 1: in the poster he's surrounded by a bunch of aquatic life,
Speaker 1: and someone had edited so it looked like a Lisa
Speaker 1: Frank poster, and you thought it was I thought it
Speaker 1: was real. I thought it was real, and I know
Speaker 1: people were dunking on it, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: am so excited to see this film with like pink
Speaker 1: and purple's and like rainbows, and I I truly thought
Speaker 1: that it was that it looked magical, it looked cool,
Speaker 1: It looked like a mixture of like if Disney had
Speaker 1: taken over one of these properties type of thing. And
Speaker 1: then um, I found out that it wasn't real. So
Speaker 1: that's fine. It's dark, but I was I was kind
Speaker 1: of excited to see a bright also, just like him
Speaker 1: being I was like, oh, maybe he'll like write a
Speaker 1: dolphin and being pink and be like anyways, people, people
Speaker 1: are going to be mad, I said this, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look looking at that first scene in the
Speaker 1: trailer where he's standing against the aquarium wall and the
Speaker 1: animals are like leave him alone. I don't think you'd
Speaker 1: be far off in that. So so just think of
Speaker 1: that when you think. I like that we get Mira,
Speaker 1: and Mira actually in the DC comments was a very
Speaker 1: fun character for me, especially because she got a red
Speaker 1: lantern ring, which was built of her rage in the
Speaker 1: split between her family and like her love for Aquaman.
Speaker 1: So I mean, obviously were we may not make it
Speaker 1: to red lantern stuff in the next five years, but Mira,
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed her as a character ever since that
Speaker 1: kind of happened. Amber heard, yes, yeah, So so hopping
Speaker 1: back to the sham trailer, Uh, did anything like stand
Speaker 1: out for you? If he? I really like, you know,
Speaker 1: seeing it? I think the best description of it was
Speaker 1: big meat Superman, which I think this, this franchise needs.
Speaker 1: D C has been too dark. It would be fun
Speaker 1: to lighten it up with something lighthearted and interesting, especially
Speaker 1: since we were going to get the dark epic film
Speaker 1: with Aquaman, which I love that that we do have
Speaker 1: black black Manta and they pulled the mask because very
Speaker 1: few times, like people didn't know, specifically me, I didn't
Speaker 1: know for a while black Manta was black until they
Speaker 1: pulled the mask off. He very very rarely pulls it off.
Speaker 1: And I gotta say, I'm super excited. And also Jason
Speaker 1: Momoa being Jason Momoa, I know it's it's peak Jason Momoa. Definitely,
Speaker 1: it seems like what's cool about mixing it up because
Speaker 1: I will say Snyder and Nolan has kind of had
Speaker 1: a chokehold on the d C series. It seems like
Speaker 1: it's only been them, and that I think might have
Speaker 1: been part of the problem whether no matter how you
Speaker 1: feel about their films, love them or hate them, you
Speaker 1: gotta admit that, like the reason they don't bleed together
Speaker 1: is because you've only had like two people touching it.
Speaker 1: So to have these two new directors kind of with
Speaker 1: their I mean, the last time we have a new
Speaker 1: director cough cough, Patty Jenkins, like it was a smash hit.
Speaker 1: It's not even to say that necessarily Snyder or or
Speaker 1: Nolan is bad. I mean, Nolan has like the definitive
Speaker 1: Batman movie trilogy. But when you are letting just two
Speaker 1: directors do all of the movies, they bleed together because
Speaker 1: every director has their own style. When you splash in
Speaker 1: some Patty Jenkins, some James want I mean so Patty
Speaker 1: and James want to, you know, it'll it'll mix it up.
Speaker 1: And when you do get that dark d C it'll
Speaker 1: pop because of that. And it just you know, you
Speaker 1: just can't put a whole bunch of iceberg lettuce in
Speaker 1: a salad. You need some tomatoes, you need some carrots,
Speaker 1: you need some onions, and that's what what's going to
Speaker 1: make a good salad. And I think that's been the
Speaker 1: difference and why it seems like kind of like Marvel
Speaker 1: took the lead because from the jump, Marvel had so
Speaker 1: many hands and so many different parts of their salad,
Speaker 1: where we're finally getting to the other parts of the
Speaker 1: d C salad. So I'm really excited to see what
Speaker 1: they came from. Where they're coming from, and it seems
Speaker 1: like they're going to pass the torch um and you'll
Speaker 1: see what I mean in just a second. Well, um,
Speaker 1: I did want to say Gail Simone, who is a
Speaker 1: noted comic book writer but also for a Wonder Woman specifically,
Speaker 1: she actually tweeted and was like, so, was d C
Speaker 1: the winner of the con because it feels like that
Speaker 1: I almost thought it was a joke. I mean, the answer,
Speaker 1: first off and foremost is yes. But all so d
Speaker 1: C was running against no one because we didn't have Marvel,
Speaker 1: Star Wars didn't really have a presence, and besides that,
Speaker 1: all the other brands pretty much had established series. So
Speaker 1: I do think they won, but they had no one
Speaker 1: really up against them, I hear you. But it still
Speaker 1: could have been horribly received, you know the trailers in there,
Speaker 1: but instead everyone seemed to get very excited about them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they've they've they've definitely did good, you know,
Speaker 1: because they because you're right, DC could have just been
Speaker 1: by themselves and still lost the con you know, but
Speaker 1: they are constantly talking about they did come out with
Speaker 1: the dope trailers and all you heard about Wish Zam
Speaker 1: and Aquaman. I was talking about this earlier, I think,
Speaker 1: on Candy Dinner because we were wondering why Marvel isn't
Speaker 1: coming out with anything because there isn't a D twenty
Speaker 1: three that year, because that's usually why Marvel kind of
Speaker 1: holds there reveals, and I came to the conclusion it's
Speaker 1: because Marvel can't talk about anything without oiling the next
Speaker 1: Infinity War because if you think about it, we have
Speaker 1: one movie than Infinity War. Anything we'd see behind that
Speaker 1: is going to kill it. I mean just literally anything,
Speaker 1: because every movie you talk about confirms that that person lives.
Speaker 1: So to keep with the lore of Infinity War, you can.
Speaker 1: We definitely because they have a three contract deal, three
Speaker 1: part of Jolla and Peter Parker. But I feel like
Speaker 1: people like I don't want to call him plebs, but
Speaker 1: rag folks aren't checking in on that. I still think
Speaker 1: even like I don't want to say my mom, but
Speaker 1: like I feel we'll say, my older brother, because he
Speaker 1: doesn't really follow this stuff. I feel like he at
Speaker 1: least would be like, oh no, wait he that Peter Parker,
Speaker 1: that new One only got one film, He's probably going
Speaker 1: to get a couple more. I don't even feel like
Speaker 1: that's a spoiler. I just feel like that's common math
Speaker 1: is those newer characters that they just introduced that made
Speaker 1: the millions are probably not getting killed off. But to
Speaker 1: move on to a glass was another trailer that dropped
Speaker 1: m Night Shamalan, who I have a little story here.
Speaker 1: If he did, I tell you he did? You read
Speaker 1: what I wrote next to it? Currently Danny's hotel roommate. Yes, um,
Speaker 1: he had the room across from me at Comic Con
Speaker 1: and it was funny. Yeah. He Actually one of my
Speaker 1: girlfriends was trying to slip. I gave her my badge
Speaker 1: so that she could have it for the day because
Speaker 1: I was on these panels off site and she was
Speaker 1: trying to stick her badge back under my door and M.
Speaker 1: Knight was like so fascinated. He was like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? And I came out in like my gym
Speaker 1: clothes with like a bathrobe on, and he had like
Speaker 1: the rest of the members of Glass standing right there,
Speaker 1: and we all just like didn't go in our room,
Speaker 1: so we're all just standing there talking and then they
Speaker 1: asked to take a picture with one of my friends,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, it's little things like that. Danielle
Speaker 1: Radford said that she was in the elevator with I Forgot,
Speaker 1: a famous comic book artist, and she was like, I
Speaker 1: just had a I just had like a five minute
Speaker 1: conversation with them about comics. And it's like little things
Speaker 1: like that when you're at comic con where everyone's kind
Speaker 1: of on the same level, everyone's excited about the same things,
Speaker 1: everyone's in the same area. That it's that's also cool
Speaker 1: as you you're around some of your favorite creators. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's super fun. Glass. I'm super excited about mostly because
Speaker 1: I kind of watched Unbreakable bit by bit, like it
Speaker 1: definitely wasn't like a movie that I fully ingested until
Speaker 1: I saw Split, and then once that connection was made,
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, I need to go back and
Speaker 1: really watch Unbreakable because I like, I'm curious in m
Speaker 1: Night Shamalan's superhero universe because it seems very different, very grounded,
Speaker 1: and it feels like the most accidental, perfect take of
Speaker 1: like superheroes in a real world, and so I'm super excited,
Speaker 1: I don't you know, And I feel like these movies
Speaker 1: I thought are his most successful movies. So I'm also
Speaker 1: not like worried about the quote unquote history of you know,
Speaker 1: his movies, because Unbreakable was amazing, did well. Split was
Speaker 1: a surprise smash hit. So now it's going to be
Speaker 1: interesting to see him focus in on this. It's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it as well. I know there are
Speaker 1: so many fans of this franchise and to kind of
Speaker 1: see it all come together. Split was a little bit
Speaker 1: hard for me. Just this is so fascinating because we
Speaker 1: talked about my most dangerous women thing is that whenever
Speaker 1: a woman is hurt, just to be hurt. Like people
Speaker 1: argue with me about this a lot, but it's Gayle
Speaker 1: Simone actually is the one that created the website women
Speaker 1: in Fridges, which if you haven't checked it out, please
Speaker 1: it'll change how you look at media. It is. It's
Speaker 1: originally from Green Lantern when he comes home and finds
Speaker 1: his girlfriend has been literally fridge. She's been stuck in
Speaker 1: a fridge, killed and stuck in there, and so Gail
Speaker 1: made a list of media that either a woman is
Speaker 1: murdered or maimed or hurt in some way to further
Speaker 1: the story of a man or the character development of
Speaker 1: a man. But also just in general, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of times, a lot when we talked about this
Speaker 1: on the panel, a lot of times filmmakers use rape,
Speaker 1: like rape of a woman as her back story, like
Speaker 1: that's her character story, that's what made her her. And
Speaker 1: I don't always agree with that, and so at times
Speaker 1: it's kind of put me at odds with films that
Speaker 1: it's been difficult for me to enjoy. And this is
Speaker 1: me personally, so I don't need people disagreeing with how
Speaker 1: I feel about it. You can feel about it your
Speaker 1: own way. But I just know, as a writer and
Speaker 1: someone that's been around this media film and television and
Speaker 1: screenwriters so much that it is used too often. I
Speaker 1: feel like as a that's all I'll say. And so
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the equation is there, and it's
Speaker 1: pretty simple to figure out that when you have men
Speaker 1: writing women, you only have a limited perspective. And so
Speaker 1: when you think of like what empowers women, I think
Speaker 1: men often don't have the answer because obviously only someone
Speaker 1: who was a woman would know what would empower you.
Speaker 1: So you're I think it comes also from just the
Speaker 1: toxic masculinity of like, if you endure some hardcore pain
Speaker 1: or you endure some suffering, you come out stronger. And
Speaker 1: then the next part of the equation is what is
Speaker 1: the worst thing a woman can endure? And then you
Speaker 1: have your plot device for Game of Thrones. Um, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like it definitely is that, and I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, it is kind of overused and it is
Speaker 1: kind of you know, hard. I mean, there's been dope
Speaker 1: films that have found new ways to implement it, like
Speaker 1: that on a film that had like this overbearing special
Speaker 1: agent Dad that kind of uh, you know trained, like
Speaker 1: you can also be trained and stuff. You don't have
Speaker 1: to be scrappy because you got like kidnapped and you know,
Speaker 1: had all that stuff going. So I definitely know what
Speaker 1: you mean. And if for those who are like what
Speaker 1: it's because split is literally surrounded. The whole motivation is
Speaker 1: this guy has kidnapped these uh all these teenage women
Speaker 1: and you find out that that one of them, you know,
Speaker 1: one of them was raped by her uncle. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I just I'm like, does that is that necessary for
Speaker 1: the story? I guess is my that's the only yeah,
Speaker 1: because like literally it's like the you know, like the
Speaker 1: the big reveal at the end and the reason like
Speaker 1: he doesn't hurt her because she's already been hurt. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just you know, I respect a
Speaker 1: lot of the a lot of filmmakers, and I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I see it a lot, and that's all that's
Speaker 1: my commentary as a woman. I just see it. I
Speaker 1: see it often, and I could talk about other films
Speaker 1: where they've done that, and to me, it's like, I understand,
Speaker 1: um that you're trying to get a reaction or or
Speaker 1: if there's you feel like there's a purpose. Is there
Speaker 1: another way? I don't. I feel like we're going to
Speaker 1: go so off topic now dealing with this. But I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm done with my my little things. So what I
Speaker 1: was gonna say is I'm really excited for for everybody.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me at times to enjoy films when
Speaker 1: I feel rape is it just used for And I
Speaker 1: understand that it happens in real life. I just think
Speaker 1: it happens too often in media as a backstory necessary
Speaker 1: for women. Anyways, moving on, UM, yeah, we'll just uh
Speaker 1: knock out the movie that I'm most excited about, which
Speaker 1: is Godzilla, King of Monsters. I love Kaiju, I love
Speaker 1: big monsters, and so I'm super excited that we were
Speaker 1: introducing more monsters for the King of Monsters to fight.
Speaker 1: We get Mathra, We're getting all the bangers, King Guidra. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, who knows. Maybe we'll get a new m
Speaker 1: F Doom album, King Guidra album. I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be tight. And of course in the footnotes will
Speaker 1: have links to all these trailers if you have yet
Speaker 1: to see them. But it's gonna be fun. TV stuff
Speaker 1: is gonna be very easy because lots of these trailers
Speaker 1: are for already established shows. So if you don't know
Speaker 1: black Lightning, pretty much all of the d C TV
Speaker 1: shows are getting a season another season. That's what it
Speaker 1: was about Iron Fist. They rightfully so didn't push it.
Speaker 1: I guess we can slowly touch on the small controversy
Speaker 1: they had. Did you hear about that about which one
Speaker 1: about Iron Fist? No, let me see a Jeff Lobe
Speaker 1: who was a producer on it, and a comic book
Speaker 1: writer came out in the karate kid outfit and was
Speaker 1: doing like a like offensive kind of white dude doing
Speaker 1: karate bit that he was called out for by one
Speaker 1: of the actresses, which might have been part of the
Speaker 1: bit basically trying to lampoon what everybody hates about Iron
Speaker 1: Fist without actually presenting any I don't know solutions to it.
Speaker 1: And so that that was something people were buzzing about.
Speaker 1: I don't think it had like a huge big outcry
Speaker 1: about it, but it was some It was something that happened,
Speaker 1: and so just pointing that out, Riverdale getting another season,
Speaker 1: Star Trek, Discovery Orville Walking Dead's both of them another season,
Speaker 1: better call Sault really excited season four The Gifted. But
Speaker 1: the big news was the announcement of a new season
Speaker 1: of Star Wars clone Wars, which I thought was done.
Speaker 1: You know, people were very excited. Yeah, yeah, and so
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be super cool. But I think that
Speaker 1: is a sign of DC winning the con because you know,
Speaker 1: that news came out. I didn't hear about it till
Speaker 1: I was looking at all the wrap ups. So the
Speaker 1: fact that the d C trailers and news kind of
Speaker 1: shadowed Star Wars. Even though it's one Star Wars announcement,
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty big because that it is a
Speaker 1: very popular Star Wars animated series. But there were lots
Speaker 1: of new shows and then a few toys I want
Speaker 1: to talk about, but we'll get to that after these messages.
Speaker 1: Welcome back everybody. Okay, So there's a couple of new
Speaker 1: shows I want to talk about. There's one that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna talk so much about, so let me just run
Speaker 1: through the first. So we have the Mayan m C show.
Speaker 1: It's basically a spin off of Sunset Anarchy based off
Speaker 1: of the character Ezekiel Rays, who was part of the mines.
Speaker 1: It's going to follow them. I'm very curious that what
Speaker 1: they're gonna do with us, because the whole device, if
Speaker 1: you didn't know what Sons of Anarchy was that it
Speaker 1: was Hamlet. So that was kind of what made it
Speaker 1: so good and cool and interesting. Some very curious, Uh
Speaker 1: if the characters they built have the substance to really
Speaker 1: carry on a spin off series, or if they're going
Speaker 1: to do another like Shakespeare, which I actually think that
Speaker 1: would be the most interesting. If they found a way
Speaker 1: to make this also follow a classic Shakespearean story. Listen.
Speaker 1: I just want you know, I don't know how many,
Speaker 1: how much they've already filmed, but I would love to audition.
Speaker 1: Just get me, get me in the room. No, but
Speaker 1: I I will be watching it. Yeah, they didn't promote
Speaker 1: it as much. I did see. I did see though
Speaker 1: that they had a big they run it out like
Speaker 1: what it was a hotel and like the whole backdrop
Speaker 1: of of the hotel was a poster for this, So
Speaker 1: it was like several stories long. Yeah. Um, moving on
Speaker 1: to Disenchantment, Yeah, it seems like it's going to be
Speaker 1: a fan to see based comedy from Matt Growing Uh
Speaker 1: of Theis and Futurama. So you know, at first I
Speaker 1: was like what because I'm you know, uh, I'm paused
Speaker 1: on Matt after that week response to that up who controversy.
Speaker 1: I mean you could you can, you could disagree, but
Speaker 1: you could also have a better response and than why
Speaker 1: you mad? Uh, that's not not that's not gonna pass
Speaker 1: anymore because I think think it through. You don't have
Speaker 1: to do the change, but you can consider what's being said.
Speaker 1: But then I saw who's voicing. We got Abby Jacobson
Speaker 1: from Broad City and Eric Entrey and I think I
Speaker 1: might be in because those are two of the funniest
Speaker 1: people and I'm really excited to you, uh see what
Speaker 1: they're gonna cook up. Then after that, we have Roswell
Speaker 1: News New Mexico based, you know, basically the Roswell show
Speaker 1: that was adapted from the y novel by Melinda Mets
Speaker 1: called Roswell High. Uh. It lasted three season. It was
Speaker 1: pretty popular, then it went away. They're trying to reboot
Speaker 1: and they're going to age up the character and see
Speaker 1: and they said they want to tackle tackle modern issues,
Speaker 1: so I'll see how you know, uh, police brutality and
Speaker 1: uh and all that makes its way into Roswell New
Speaker 1: Mexico other than I don't know whatever the kids talking
Speaker 1: about whatever those kids on the daily is that guys
Speaker 1: talking about however, that's gonna get into that. And then
Speaker 1: we have DC Titans. I'm just rushing to get to
Speaker 1: hear no no, no, I'm sorry, did I take it
Speaker 1: from you? You can no no no, no no no
Speaker 1: no you could you can announce if you please you. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So the Titans official trailer dropped in very dark, which
Speaker 1: they kind of They already warned us that it was
Speaker 1: going to be dark, that it was going to be
Speaker 1: It's it's fascinating, Like you said that, d C. At
Speaker 1: least for the movies Shism and aquamaner using horror directors,
Speaker 1: and then for Titans, it definitely opens the whole thing
Speaker 1: looks like it could be a horror film. By the
Speaker 1: way that it's shot. We already knew that it was
Speaker 1: going to be having, you know, more heavy topics and
Speaker 1: things that they were going to be dealing with, especially
Speaker 1: with the death of Dick's family. So yeah, but we
Speaker 1: did not see Robin saying f Batman while murdering multiple assailants,
Speaker 1: just totally forgetting the code that Batman has repeatedly forced
Speaker 1: upon all his Robbins, and it's funny. Man. People did
Speaker 1: not like it. The ratio. I felt bad because the
Speaker 1: d C uh it was like DC Titan writer's Twitter
Speaker 1: account was like, what do you guys think of the trailer?
Speaker 1: That ratio was wild? I think it had like double
Speaker 1: digit retweets and like seven hundred plus replies, and people
Speaker 1: have been mad about it. I mean, one thing that
Speaker 1: I was really kind of annoyed by is like, obviously
Speaker 1: I wanted to see how they were going to handle
Speaker 1: Beast Boys transformations. We don't see that in the trailer.
Speaker 1: People are mad about Starfire actually producing Fire. Not that
Speaker 1: big of an issue to me. What's so funny. One
Speaker 1: thing that's been genuinely hilarious to me is like a
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, uh, the way she's dressed.
Speaker 1: She's dressed like a sex workers. Like have you seen
Speaker 1: Starfire's design? Also, she looks way more modest than Starfire's design. Like,
Speaker 1: so I think that she had to delete some of
Speaker 1: her social media because of awful people, right, because because
Speaker 1: people were being racist about her because she's black. Just
Speaker 1: so everyone knows, Starfires is yellow. She is an alien.
Speaker 1: She does not have a race, but somehow, And that's
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about what ownership is. Like people will
Speaker 1: see an alien and be like, oh, this person is white.
Speaker 1: And the first the second thing is a fan art
Speaker 1: of Starfire that has her as a white person, like
Speaker 1: you see, Like, that is what we talk about in
Speaker 1: the kind of unfair ownership of characters. There is a person,
Speaker 1: there is an alien and alien who is yellow, and
Speaker 1: you've went and told yourself that this person is Caucasian.
Speaker 1: And when the creators of the show goes, no, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have her played by a purse, a woman of color,
Speaker 1: a black woman. You want to be mad and not
Speaker 1: only be mad butt her, but write her and be racist,
Speaker 1: and then to constantly like, oh, she's dressed like a prostitute. Dude,
Speaker 1: her outfit is literally a skirt in the halter top.
Speaker 1: So what more modesty do you know she's wearing in
Speaker 1: the In the footage that has came out, she is
Speaker 1: literally wearing a purple dress that covers her up more
Speaker 1: than the purple purple outfit she normally is. Truly, don't
Speaker 1: this is? You know, we tackled this before with people
Speaker 1: writing Kelly Marie Tran, But I'm just like, she's an actress.
Speaker 1: She doesn't control literally anything. She doesn't control her costume,
Speaker 1: she doesn't control her lines, she doesn't control any of that,
Speaker 1: and so to write her specifically is insane to me.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I'm once again disappointing. So she
Speaker 1: I found out she um she disabled her comments on Instagram,
Speaker 1: but I wonder if she's still oh this is This
Speaker 1: gets even worse because you know it would have been
Speaker 1: bad if they're just openly just like because she's black,
Speaker 1: apparently the new uh take is that she's not the
Speaker 1: right kind of black, that she should be light skinned,
Speaker 1: which you know, if if we didn't get enough colorism
Speaker 1: as is. It's disgusting and it's funny because stuff like
Speaker 1: this will come out, and then when people say DC
Speaker 1: fans are the worst, they get so offended, But it's like, look,
Speaker 1: if you're offended, then you need to be jumping down
Speaker 1: the throats of everybody who does stuff like this. If
Speaker 1: you are part of a fan base that is called
Speaker 1: the worst fan base, looking at you as well, star Wars.
Speaker 1: Every time you see someone saying something racist and horrible,
Speaker 1: you need to be adding them because the thing that
Speaker 1: gets people saying it isn't even necessarily taking the comment,
Speaker 1: the receiving the comments, or the fact that they're saying it,
Speaker 1: but to see the retweets and the people agreeing them
Speaker 1: and the agreeing with them. So when outsiders are seeing
Speaker 1: these like horrible racist things about Kelly Marie Chan or
Speaker 1: in this case Starfire, and then they're investigating in there
Speaker 1: clicking on it, and there's a whole group of people
Speaker 1: just being like yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's what makes
Speaker 1: people blame the whole fandom. But if they were to
Speaker 1: click on it. This has happened to me before. I
Speaker 1: can't put my finger on it, but some racist trash
Speaker 1: what's happening? And I was like, oh, this seems like
Speaker 1: this is rough, and I click on it and I
Speaker 1: see people just tearing this person apart from me to that,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, Okay, that's how it should be.
Speaker 1: That's how the fandom should be. Yeah, it's like, we
Speaker 1: need to check the people within our fandoms because because
Speaker 1: it does like it does make us look bad as
Speaker 1: a whole, because every time someone says something gross under
Speaker 1: the guys of just wanting their show the way they
Speaker 1: want it, that that reflects on the whole fandom. Unfortunately. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's important to speak I I have before
Speaker 1: as as a DC fan because my favorite and most
Speaker 1: beloved character in all of superhero history as wonder Woman.
Speaker 1: So I am the biggest wonder Woman fan and I
Speaker 1: always whenever I speak up, I say d C fans,
Speaker 1: we we It still pisces people off. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: you you, I'm saying us, we need to chill out. Um.
Speaker 1: I can't even say all the things I want to
Speaker 1: say because I'll get bleeped on here by our producers.
Speaker 1: So but anyways, you know what, one of the good
Speaker 1: things that I want to say that happened at Comic
Speaker 1: Con was there was a meet up for Rose Tico
Speaker 1: for Kelly Marie Marie trans character in uh in Star Wars,
Speaker 1: and it was great. So many people came out, people
Speaker 1: dressed up like her, people were wearing her shirts, and
Speaker 1: they all met together. And she had no idea. I know,
Speaker 1: I sent I sent pictures to my friend Chris, whose
Speaker 1: friends with her, and um, just because I wanted him
Speaker 1: to know that so many people were supporting her. So
Speaker 1: that was a really positive, great thing to see and
Speaker 1: to see the fandom coming together and be like, no,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna let you push out one of our people. Yes. Um.
Speaker 1: And it was cool too because it was dope to
Speaker 1: see so many Asian Americans kind of able to cost
