About this Episode
My name is Steve Megatron, and I am the geekiest
man alive. To the outside world I'm an ordinary
rental manager, but secretly, with the help of
my friends at GCRN Studios, I review media and
find other altered geeks like me. I hunted the
information of my past, but in doing so, I opened
up a whole new world of possibilities. And I
am the only one geeky enough to unleash them.
I am the Altered Geek. You are tuned in to Steve
Megatron on Altered Geek Unlimited. Hello and
welcome to Altered Geek Unlimited. I'm your host,
Steve Megatron Phillips, and joining me this
week is Michael Booth Ninja Powers, and I promise
not to slander. or is that libel i'm not quite
sure listeners one of those i promise not to
i would think it'd be the latter maybe one of
them's print and one of them is i think oh wow
i think liable is the i probably should have
written up what one i think slander i think slander
is vocal okay well either way it's spoken i promise
not to directly offend a listener I may directly
I may indirectly offend a few listeners but no
one listener if that's fair enough but I'm here
yes he is here so so yes Quite a few interesting
things twists have happened this week as far
as geeked up Just a few and superheroes just
a couple little tiny things Yeah Maybe we should
start with the smaller one first of the new Commissioner
Gordon Yeah So he doesn't get lost in the rest.
Yeah, and the kerfuffle here. I I think For anyone
that doesn't know, Commissioner Gordon has been
cast for the new... What are they calling it?
The DC Extended Universe? Yeah, which is kind
of entertaining to me. Or Cinematic Universe.
I thought the official Warner Brothers name for
it was the DCEU. Which it might be I'm not quite
sure that's how they're gonna be the cinematic
universe. Maybe that's the animated films Yeah,
so but either way they have cast everyone's favorite
Actor JK Simmons better known for his role is
J Jonah Jameson which I think Is kind of sad.
He won't be back as that character Yeah, I will
admit I was one of those few people that had
that small little smidge of hope that he might
be able to reprise the role for Marvel's spider
-man but at the same time I I Feel like this
this particular thing ties into an expectation
like something that we're gonna talk about later
in the episode Where, you know, would that be
almost like to akin to you're keeping Christian
Bale? Yeah, or like or kind of like my ex the
conversation we had about the kind of like the
meat of the show that I wanted to bring up, which
was like fan expectations versus what actually
happened. So like J .K. Simmons reprizing the
role of J. Jonah Jameson was like my was an expectation
I had, but I felt it was an unreal expectation.
And now we know it's not going to happen. So
yes, but he is Commissioner Gordon and To be
honest with you. The only problem I have with
this is it flies in the face of everything that
I've thought I've Snooped out about the DCEU
Which was you know the whole lived -in world?
Aesthetic yeah, they they kind of put the kibosh
on that for you. Well, I thought Was trying to
find it too. I couldn't really find any articles
about that I found articles, but I couldn't find
the article that that pointed to the evidence
of this but about This world that DC is building
Commissioner Gordon is already dead So I was
operating under the assumption of that and tied
into that as the idea of the Lex Luthor that
everyone knows and loves is also dead And that
this was junior. Yeah, so But this kind of flies
in the face of now this doesn't fly in the face
of the Lex Luthor by the Lex Luthor theory But
it flies in the face of my Jim Gordon theory
But at the same time I'm choosing to keep my
theory alive and the fact that we still don't
know the context of this Like maybe he was around
before this movie, but during maybe the Suicide
Squad and that's there's that or maybe Because
the Justice League stuff we don't know what that's
gonna entail like are there gonna be flashbacks
in that series Could this just be like a flashback
type role and not to mention that There's been
rumor that the solo bat the Ben Affleck Batman
movies would be prequels. So it's like one of
those things like, you know, how is he going
to be used? We don't know. So if you just cast
a guy to show up and be like to have those those
one off conversations that Gordon and Batman
tend to have from time to time, like for the
inspirational part of stuff. Like it could just
be that because one of the things i've also seen
or heard Is that the way the flash shows up in
man of batman versus superman is through like
a vision So like that uh that um scene where
you see batman and the trench coat type thing
Yeah, but like I guess there's like again. I
haven't dived any deeper into this than like
headline stuff But it's kind of like, you know,
they're the Batman vs Superman. It sounds like
there might be some moments where they're diving
into like the the inner thoughts of these characters
and basically looking at their. It sounds kind
of hokey, but looking at their dreams, if you
will. And that's how the flash like appears in
Batman vs Superman. Again, completely out of
context. Sounds insane. But so, yeah. I'm just
choosing to keep the hope alive that Commissioner
Gordon at the time of Batman versus Superman
is dead But casting the role is a major step
in being able to use that character because there's
a lot of ways that you can use a character Whether
because I mean they cast Thomas Wayne and Thomas
Wayne is most definitely dead, you know, like
there's so there's lots of ways that you can
use a character but Do you have any thoughts
on this like cuz I know I know you had the same
thought that I did have you reversed Do you think
he's alive? Are you still trying to keep the?
He's dead Jim But you know or are you just going
with nope he's alive now like I'm kind of torn
because I could have swore I read the same article
as you like maybe we reported it even on this
podcast That Jim Gordon was going to be dead.
I thought it was like a set photo of the Gotham
Precinct and there was a plaque That said like
in honor of Commissioner Gordon or something
like that or Jim Gordon or I don't know But that's
what I in my mind's eye. That's what I remember
seeing Yeah, I could have I could have swore
I saw something like that Pop up at some point
But uh Yeah, because it says it was yeah, I'm
reading there's an article on cinema blind It
says originally the word by the time Batman v
Superman Started And this was this was an article
from a year ago Was that uh Robin died at the
hands of the Joker And then they switched out
Robin for Gordon It says Commissioner Gordon
was killed And then Three days ago, they have
an update because obviously that JK Simmons information
But it says that it's you know, they're saying
it's debunked but that doesn't necessarily mean
anything it could be just a partial role. Yeah,
exactly. So and I'm kind of I don't know. I'm
kind of torn like I want to think that he's dead,
but maybe at the same time, maybe it was like
a fake out or maybe, you know, they were just
giving misdirection. It could have been anything.
So, you know, I think it's great. I mean, I want
to see what he does because I mean, I feel like
Jim Gordon's one of those are like I don't. This
just could be the way that I feel about DC in
general He's like one of those Uncle Ben like
moral compass type things like Alfred for Batman
See I see Alfred is more of just just being that
in the Batman universe like Gordon to me just
Because he's not he's like another Surrogate
father almost to Batman like to Batman himself.
Not Bruce Wayne. Yeah, I guess I just I don't
see him as iconic as like J Jonah Jameson No,
that's what that's what I mean. I don't I don't
see him as like he like J Jonah Jameson had that
that role has ramifications across like the greater
Marvel Universe Well, because he hates on spider
-man so hard, right? Whereas Jim Gordon is kind
of he's a cop that sides with Batman and then
talks to him has his little fire fire You know
side chats and then they kind of go on their
way and Jane and Jonah James is also in the news
biz So he like, you know throws in with everything
versus Gordon's just responsible for Gotham City
But so I realized the error in my speech there,
but I don't know Now we just gotta figure out
who that Jenna Malone is playing Yeah, and she
is what makes the movie rated R apparently because
they're saying that uh She's gonna be in the
ultimate rated R cut for home release And they
were pointing at her possibly playing Carrie
Kelly from the Dark Knight Returns or Barbara
Gordon and then Zack Snyder stated she's neither
Robin nor Batgirl Seemingly striking those two
off the list I, you know, it's one of those.
But now we're in that era where we just went
through Blofeld. We just went through Khan. Like,
yeah, I misdirection is is totally like I want
I want to buy it like at face value because I
don't think I can't think that Snyder's ever
done that before. But at the same time, it's
like. I'm not buying it, man. I and also the
the rated -r cut doesn't seem like his radar
because it's like the way I read there was another
article on slash film about this it basically
seems to me like They wanted to do an extended
cut of the movie Kind of like with Lord of the
Rings and stuff like that mainly because you
know Nobody wants to sit in a movie theater for
like three hours or whatever And for whatever
reason instead of just putting it out as unrated
like most studios would they went ahead and got
it rated And it's just it's it's are just for
intensity for the most part So I I don't think
it's gonna be anything like crazy So I actually
after reading what I'm making it seem like it
could be a killing joke type scene like flashback
and that's why Could be could be so Real quick
aside though since we're talking about DC stuff
real quick. I actually this past weekend I read
the flashpoint Saga In comic book form, okay,
I Hate DC comics with a passion. I really do
their films and their animated stuff is amazing.
I can't stand the comics there is something about
the way they are written I will say this I enjoy
their films for the most part give or take I
enjoy greatly enjoy their television shows and
I greatly enjoy their animated stuff their animated
stuff is by far their like number one claim to
fame and then their TVs too but I was an avid
fan of DC Comics themselves, and then prior to
the New 52 reboot, it started getting kind of
convoluted there, and they were running out of
steam, and then they were like, oh, New 52. And
then they ran out of steam three years later,
and then we get New Old 52. And it's... I have
no idea that there's so much messed up in this
universe that I I had to stop getting the comics
like it just it was not conducive to me to it
I Couldn't follow it in any capacity. I had no
idea what the hell was going on at any given
point. I Mean I liked what I read I like some
of flashpoint and I didn't just read the I think
it was like a five or six part flashpoint comic
Read the entire thing like all the individual
comics for like the flashpoint saga and Just
no no one thing held up No one story inside of
the flashpoint saga like held up me. Yeah, there
were some cool moments But man, I just there's
just something about the way they're written.
I feel like just like Panels end up missing at
some point or just like the the artist isn't
Drawing what the writer is trying to do or the
writers not doing what the artist wants there
it always just seems to drop the ball somewhere
and then it makes it seem like it's Just kind
of like cut and paste. We're just putting these
pieces together because we have to end up somewhere
where The Marvel stuff I feel like they'll take
A whole issue to do like one thing rather than
Like like cover multiple beats and one issue.
They'll just do they'll dive into like one thing
and that'll be it for the issue, but it Translates
so much better over like a series of comics compared
to anything that DC has done and not and this
this even extends to like the Jeff Loeb stuff
for like was it the long Halloween? And what
were the other what the other big ones that he
did? Did you do nightfall? No, I don't think
well, maybe but uh, the the ones that everyone
like loves because the ones that were drawn by
like jim lee and jeff lobe or written, okay,
those were after drawn by jim lee written by
jeff lobe I think yeah nightfall was 80 so that
that was probably long halloween and then there
was probably uh, what's that one where they're
The city's locked down no man's land That maybe
I don't think no, I haven't read no man's land.
There's anyways, there's like I think there's
like three of them that everyone just like that's
the Batman you need to read and I read them and
I just can't do it, man. I don't know what it
is. I I understand that people love them and
on some level they're great, but I have a lot
of things like that in my life that, you know,
I understand that people love Zelda games. I
just can't get into them. Like yeah, it's I I
think that's just it for me with comic like DC
is that for me with comics like yeah They might
you but you enjoy Marvel comics. Yes, exactly
So but you're you're more I would would you say
you're more of a Marvel fan than a DC fan in
general I mean I want to say yeah, but the thing
is is like it probably because like I said I
can read Marvel comics and I can enjoy Marvel
like movies and TV shows but when it comes to
DC stuff, I really can only enjoy their video
format stuff. So like, given that like half,
you know, I can watch all or I can watch or read
all of Marvel's stuff. I can only watch DC stuff.
But so that's the Flashpoint Paradox movie is
is again, I've said this last time I was on is
excellent. And like the five part main five part
flash story was excellent. And I do enjoy the
changes that they made from the comic to the
to the cartoon. The movie makes it flow a lot
better. But again, doing a movie based off of
a comic is kind of like getting a second shot
at telling the story. So. Yeah, I just want to
do that because we're on D .C. So I guess. The
other bit of small news. Just real quick before
the big one, which is the Tomb Raider Yeah, the
Daisy Ridley getting there's the rumor that she's
on the shortlist for To play Lara Croft Based
on the new iteration. See that what's what's
interesting about that to me is that Lara Croft
in Well, I don't have a problem with that casting
like at all even if it is true or not, you know,
we have no idea Because at this point it's just
a rumor but the girl that voices her in the games
is Camilla Luddington Who's played a live -action
version of her? Like as and on promo, I believe
well see I know her from I know her from doing
the voice work in the game And then I know her
from true blood Californication and Grey's Anatomy
So like Barney's like wait a minute, okay, so
obviously you're just going out for Daisy Ridley
because she's the it thing right now, but You
got the girl that does the voice of her in the
game Clearly she could probably do the role for
you in the movie as well. I mean She does do
live -action. So I just it's like if you're if
the game characters based off of this actress
Why wouldn't you in the end the same actress
can play her? Why wouldn't you get the same actress?
It's a money thing, you know, it's like this
and it's because she's the you know, nothing
against her I liked I like I like Ray just fine.
But it's like they want her because it's like
a fantasy casting. Yeah, they want her because
she's known for being in Star Wars and everyone
liked her in Star Wars. So let's put her in this
property and hope it does well as well. So I
mean, it's just it's just the bummer, but whatever.
Yeah, it's just how it goes, I guess. I mean,
I. I don't have a problem either way, but I mean,
I I just think that they're going to burn people
out on her. Yeah, I mean, I do want to see a
new Tomb Raider. I mean, I do like Tomb Raider
and for anyone that cares, because I've talked
about it before, my HSS, my Hollywood Stock Exchange
stock for Tomb Raider went up like 13 dollars
today based off of that news. Nice. And if she
gets actually gets cast, it'll probably skyrocket.
Yep. This is a true story. So. So yeah, kind
of getting into the meat potatoes here of the
superhero exchange here. We have the Captain
America Civil War. The final trailer. Yeah, final
one. But it debuted something that some people
are either saying should have waited until the
film or some people are just... Either loving
or hating on the character in general Since it's
been shown and that would be spider -man. I feel
like if this was any other film franchise people
would be going crazy over the fact that they
Spoiled something that major from the movie You
mean like something that happened in the DC Batman
for Superman one? Yeah or just like anything
like, you know what I'm saying? Like you hear
about this a lot in movies where like they'll
they'll show you like the big reason to go see
a movie and people will say like, well, I don't
need to see it now. I just saw it in the trailer.
Like I feel like that was this movie's. Like
it was this movie's cherry and you gave it away
for free. Yep. They showed off the costume, they
showed off the gimmick, they showed off... I
guess first opinion I think we should go to is
the overall suit appearance. Just based off the
image you've seen. Yeah And now this is where
I come across as a hypocrite because I know I've
been on here before saying we shouldn't I I don't
judge things based off of this that or the other
thing I based it off of the final product and
I'm still in that boat Because I'm one of the
few people that didn't really have a problem
with the Green Lantern suit in the movie But
I had a problem with it the way it was shown
in the trailers Mm -hmm. So ever since then I've
been kind of on the boat of what I'm gonna judge
the final product I don't really want to judge
anything in here But when I see this spider -man
suit, the only thing I can see is the spider
-man from that 1970s movie Or yeah the the Japanese
spider -man movie. Yeah, and I'm not Or spider
-man and his amazing friends It's not what I
was How to be nice about this, how to be nice
about this. It almost looks too colorful and
too washed out in the detail. It looks like a
basketball. The head looks like a basketball.
With Spider -Man eyes. Yeah. I and I've seen
close up shots of this, you know, that little
that kind of hexagon grainy thing that they do
to all the superhero costumes now at this point.
It's in there, but it's not as evident as like
the The previous Amazing Spider -Man costume
and the Tobey Maguire version, which I didn't
realize had that as well The because I've looked
at all three suits now like side by side by side
and I Actually find myself enjoying the Tobey
Maguire suit more to some degree I would like
this one, but I think that because either because
the lighting and the trailer or the CG that's
used he's too orange like the colors just seem
too bright and too washed out and then the the
black spider web details just seem lost in that
red orange color yeah I just I can't I really
want to I mean I want to like it but it's it's
just I mean and again it's a trailer so it may
not be the final I mean, it probably is, but
still. I think this is my real problem with it.
I don't like the... I don't like the eyes. And
I saw that in the trailer where they go squinty
and stuff, and I've seen close -up shots of that
in an HD format where you can see some of the
web idea on the head. There's one, two, three
different positions for the way the eyes move.
I see that. in this shot because I got one pulled
up from like Bill Forrester and I find myself
liking some of like how it moves in general,
but I don't I don't like how I Hope it's not
mechanical. I hope it's just a gimmick of the
suit see there was an article on slash film that
it's a piece of tech that it's gonna be explained
in the movie. It's a piece of tech that It allows
the eyes to move and that bugs the crap out of
me. I almost wish it was like the Deadpool method.
Well, OK, I think Deadpool worked and I know
we had this conversation off air and I didn't
I don't want to I didn't want to paint you in
a corner because I'm the one that brought it
up and I do agree with that. I agree with what
I said off air, which is that, yes, they should
have. I wish they would have gone with a Deadpool
method and that it would have been. more just
comic -y, like they would have just done it with
a computer to get the emote across, but that's
not what they're going for here. Like, you know
what I'm saying? Like, it's got a... because
Deadpool had this more, like, tongue -in -cheek
vibe to it. So, you know, they can show his eyes
moving like that because that's just what he
does. But... I think that for them to do that
in the Marvel Universe, I think they had to have
a reason for them to do that. But I don't understand
why that would need to be a thing. What makes
that a thing? Even if it's not mechanical, what
makes that... I don't understand what makes that
a thing. Yes, that works in the comics, but what
what purpose would that serve? In an actual cost
in like an actual costume, you know what I'm
saying? Yeah, like that serves no Purpose whatsoever.
I don't see the purpose of that. But you know
again In a way to kind of just straddle the fence
of hypocrisy. I will wait. I I'm not I'm trying
not to go Too full -on judgmental like I want
to see I haven't heard the spider -man. I haven't
seen the spider -man move all i've seen is a
picture And so, you know a picture is not going
to tell me a whole lot um I mean i've seen uh
gifts gifs However, you want to say them like
of the eyes dilating and everything and the whole
like muppets everybody getting all happy about
it and everything but I guess I just don't see
how that works And I that needs to be answered
for me by the movie. So I guess we'll just have
to see how it answers it. But at this point,
it's just it comes. It looks if you just look
at the face, it just looks like that 70s cartoon.
And I don't like the sports like lines. The.
Like on the on the boots and the shoulders, like
those lines look really weird. They yeah. But,
you know, I'm going to wait and reserve absolute
final judgment until the end, until, you know,
I see it on the screen. And who knows, maybe
it'll change by the time, you know, Sony puts
it up on screen. So. We'll see how it works.
I feel like this one, it looks the least. Also,
the thing about this, it looks the least like
somebody could actually make it. Yeah. I'm just
I'm not really sure about this the suit. I like
I said, I want to like it and I want to give
it a chance. So, I mean, I'm going to wait and
see how it actually functions in the film and
how they explain it. But so far, I'm not enthused.
I'll say this is not a detractor, but I'm not
promoting it. Yeah, so it does not. It does nothing
to change my opinion for the movie. I do wish
they would have fricking waited. The other thing
people are complaining about is the voice, which
if you've not seen the trailer, you're not going
to know. I don't have that one, so. He sounds
like a whinier, younger version of Tobey Maguire's
Spider -Man. Well, I did hear that it would remind
some people of Tobey Maguire. And again, he is
only supposed to be 15, so. Which I get that.
I just I hope it's not real cheesy. Guess we'll
just have to wait and see. Wait and see. And
I was so wishy washy on that. I really hope I
don't get too many hateful comments. Yeah, I
don't I don't think we'll get too many because
like it's divisive. You either like it or you
don't. Yeah, and that's that's kind of the thing.
I mean, either way, we're, you know, either one
of us are still want to see. Yeah. And anyone
that wants to hate on me. Feel free. But then
again, you've probably seen the thing in motion
in the trailer. I have not so All I'm looking
at is this picture of a guy and squinty little
white eyes just staring at me through a basketball
I I'm looking forward to the movie anyway, but
so was I it's like this this one Batman v Superman
and Deadpool were like my three superhero films
of the year that I'm the most excited for aside
from like You know the Star Trek and TMNT too,
but those are like my main Three superhero films
that I was looking forward to But uh Yeah, I
mean it's I guess we'll just have to wait and
see when it gets in the film. Oh, yeah See how
it looks. I mean, I'm sure they'll have another
trailer pop out before then with more Spider
-Man in it now that they've let the cat out of
the bag. Yep Just wish they wish they would have
waited but whatever So jumping into your your
superhero kick on television, okay, it's not
entirely Doesn't have to be entirely superhero
related No, just geek geeked them in general
because we like a myriad of shows I just feel
like you know, it's like I kind of got in a Twitter
discussion a couple weeks ago with TFG one Mike
about He posted the the order that he liked the
DC shows And I actually agreed with his list
And kittens died all over the world But we got
on the discussion of, you know, things that we
liked or didn't like or that kind of. And that's
kind of where this like spun out of for me was,
you know, as fans of certain properties. We generally
for me, it happens more with movies and TV shows.
We tend to get. invested in the properties and
like when you go into a season finale for a TV
show you have expectations for like what you
want to see in the season premiere or how you
want the next season to go where you want to
see it see it go and I thought it would be fun
to talk briefly about expectations that we've
had for certain things and that we either like
either like met our expectations. I guess we
could do like what or you could do like what
is it? What's that game? Mary. Kill. You know
what I'm talking about? Yeah, the. The one where
they say, like sleep with Mary, kill or exactly
that one kind of like we can play a version of
that game, which is kind of like exceeded our
expectations, met our expectations or failed.
Yeah Kind of kind of a version of that so just
as an example No surprise to anybody season 3
of era was in my opinion atrocious just yeah,
I Anyone that hasn't seen season 3 I don't want
to really spoil it for you, but there's like
something that happens in the second quarter
to the to the halfway through the season that
just kind of sets everything like a downward
spiral and I thought it just that the show just
became a complete utter trainwreck after that
and The way that it ended that season ended I
wasn't very happy with but the way that flash
Ended and the way that DC is integrating their
TV shows as heavily as they are I was really
hoping that with the events at the end of Flash
Season 1 that the writers would find a way to
undo all of Season 3 of Arrow. Like they had
written themselves into such a way that through
the events of Flash we could undo all the events
of Season 3 of Arrow. And so I had all these
expectations built up in my head for what I thought
was going to happen when the series rolled back
around and it debuted in the fall and Arrow failed
to meet my expectations. I don't really remember
what they were. I just want I just wanted to
see them undo all the mistakes of season three.
So there is really they were either going to
do that or not. So it had no choice but to either
meet my expectations or fail, and it failed.
Flash, again, it would have, my expectations
for Arrow would have lived or died with Flash.
Flash didn't meet those expectations, or Flash
met my expectations by doing something similar,
but they didn't have the ramifications I wanted
to have. So Flash was still good going forward,
but it wasn't what I wanted. It didn't meet my
expectations, didn't match my expectations. Arrow
like completely missed the mark, but those are
my expectations. So again, this is stuff that
we've had expectations for. And those things
have already come to pass so we can we can say
like, you know that what they did for us or how
they left this feeling versus like the expectations
we might have for Civil War or Batman vs Superman.
Those are just expectations at this point. I
don't want to make more expectations. I don't
want to talk about expectations about those just
stuff that it's a lot. It's a lot easier and
unbiased to talk about something that's kind
of like a game of hindsight. Yeah, so. Gave my
doing do we want to talk spoilers here because
I feel like I just beat around the bush Yeah,
we can talk spoilers because it's it's already
passed and most it's on break again right now
anyway, yeah, so basically what happens in halfway
through season 3 of arrow One of my favorite
characters whose name escapes me right now is
it dies Hawkman season 3 of arrow Season three.
Oh, yeah, we're in season four now. Oh My gosh
black canary Katie lots. Yeah, I can't think
of name Lance something Lance. It's not Laurel.
It's Wow, it's my favorite character No, she's
in legends of tomorrow But see she died and that
just sent the whole show down this like giant
spiral of like nothingness it brought in the
like League of Assassins in a major way which
shouldn't have happened in my opinion because
it just let it down this role of We're gonna
make cheap imitation Batman and the way it ended
was on this like stupid cheesy high note like
oh okay they can leave it there and that's fine
like to me i was like that's how and this is
where it comes in that earth ends the story on
this earth ends there and i thought that the
events of flash the end of season one of flash
where he tears open that wormhole because he's
a selfish prick Yeah, I thought that when he
goes in it to save it he goes to another earth
With another arrow Where none of that crap happened
and maybe we spend an entire season there So
you get like you get to see this like offshoot
of things that could have been or like just kind
of like subtle twists On how things could have
been And I thought that would have been really
cool given the events of flash and we didn't
get they didn't deliver that It didn't give me
that and and so like arrow when it came back
for season four It failed miserably because the
flash didn't deliver on that premise of being
set in another earth for the entire season But
flash maintained this momentum in my opinion
by at least introducing the concept of another
earth And that that's what made it interesting
because now we've seen that Barry can go back
and forth between earth So what I wanted to happen
could have happened But the writers didn't want
to do that and I feel like that to me as a fan
Just outlandish expectations as we all have for
certain properties that we love like that was
just they just let me down there Another real
quick one because we were talking about this
like this one that Mike and I got on because
we were talking about Black canary who becomes
white canary and legends of tomorrow And I said
that it was really the way that she was brought
back for that series being the Lazarus pit I
thought that was really cheap and I didn't want
to like tip my hand as to what my theory was
because I think I've shared it with you Steve
before But I could be wrong But, you know, I
knew that she was going to be back. I didn't
know how she was going to be back. But in my
head, my expectation for her being back and knowing
what I know about what the plan was for Legends
of Tomorrow, I thought it would have been really
cool if they had removed her from the timeline
before she died. Like he he grabbed her. Yeah,
like like like maybe she fell off the building
and that's when he grabs her. OK, and so she
disappears from time. But she still could have
fallen because we're dealing with time travel
here, guys, and anything is possible. So what's
to say that she's on a mission somewhere in Legends
of Tomorrow and doesn't die? And he puts her
back at that one particular moment where she's
still falling off the building. And she still
dies, and Arrow still unfolds the way that it
did. Like, how cool would that have been if he
just, like, snatched her out of that moment in
time, brought her on board that ship, healed
her wounds because it's a future ship, and then
they go off and do whatever they need her to
do with that world instead of, oh, we'll just
bring her back with the Lazarus pit. Which further
drags down Arrow. Because you have to show that
somehow. And you have to do it in Arrow. Because
the first half of season four of Arrow, let's
face it, that was a mess because all it was doing
was setting up Legends of Tomorrow. Pretty much.
Yeah, it was it was a total cluster, whereas
Flash wasn't necessarily playing the same beat.
Yeah, I was setting up to it, too, with Hot Girl,
but it really wasn't. But that but that episode.
But they didn't do that. That wasn't thrown in
your face until the crossover. Like that yeah
till the episode before like that really could
have been like take it or leave it But this this
was I to me again another fan expectation I wish
that's how they would have done it because they're
dealing with time travel Mike brought up the
idea that What could they have done to save her
in that one particular moment? Which was you
know because Barry can time travel would be to
have Barry go back and I didn't tip my hand here
I just kind of ended the conversation right there
because I didn't want to say hello rip hunter
is a time traveler He can do that Barry doesn't
have to be involved at all So I just thought
I just thought it would have been really cool
and and to take like other maybe you take other
characters from other points in time Instead
of just them being from that one particular moment.
You know what I'm saying Yeah, and maybe they
will down the road, but I feel like that would
have been a great way to establish that yes Any
character from any point in time can be a part
of this show I thought that would have been like
a really cool way to do it also I feel like it
could have added something to the character of
black canary white canary by You know just It
would have added to that death because you you
would have kind of been at that point Retroactively,
it would be like she didn't die then she died
later doing something heroic Mm -hmm, so Again,
those are my expectations. These are just some
examples. So do you have anything like that?
Like I watch all of the comic book based shows
pretty much So like agents of shield It didn't
it hasn't met my expectations until Like this
recent season because they're actually like not
really conforming to around a film yet yet you
wait yeah yeah but I think it's the longest stretch
words it's kind of held it on its own which I've
enjoyed so it's at least met my expectations
there but what were your got them but what were
your expectations of the show like that's I was
I was expecting them to have I don't know a little
bit more in depth with the whole S .H .I .E .L
.D. organization and Colson's revival and I don't
know a lot of it's just been kind of subpar and
leading up to a film and especially when it's
surrounding a film it's just it's just terrible
like the end of a season is great but it's because
it's a ramification of a film so this recent
season they pulled a Star Wars with Or this the
end of the last season with Colson with his his
hand And then he's got like a robotic hand and
he's he's kind of gone, you know dark side a
little bit in this recent season and Some of
the stuff has been alright like agent Ward I'm
because they keep flip -flopping is what his
purpose is in the show like every season he changes
or every half season He changed so over him as
a character I'm so sick of him. That's the only
reason. Like I was wanting more out of that.
Like they just keep dragging it out and then
there's somebody that's always bigger and badder
than him at some point. So I just I kind of got
sick of it, but it's it's turning out to be halfway
decent. I'm not entirely holding out my entire
reservation yet on it, but the same thing with
Gotham. There's a lot happening with that. Season
one. I did enjoy it after I got a chance to watch
it all in one sitting with the Blu -ray, but
I wasn't... I'm still not totally gung -ho on
it, but Season 2 has been better than Season
1, which isn't saying much, but I'm still kind
of waiting because they're starting to get into
more of the Batman lore, more of the villains
are starting to kind of start meshing into their
future personas, and then some characters are
coming back and whatnot. But it's still kind
of... meeting expectations at this point. Arrow,
I'm kind of underwhelmed. Like, I enjoy it and
I still watch it because I've been watching it
since the beginning, but I'm underwhelmed with
the show. It's about on par with Gotham and Agents
of Shield with me at this point, but I'll watch
that before I watch the other two. I think I
watch Arrow still because I know that it... Usually
it eventually ties in with like what's going
on in flash? And I think that's partially why
I still watch it is because the universes are
all tied with flash and to me flash is like I
Will say that it hasn't exceeded my expectations
this season like it did last season There are
a couple things that I wish would happen especially
with going to earth to and with the the time
jumping through the the wormholes and you know
the The different times that they saw when he
was going through the rift. Mm -hmm I wish there
was like other alternate places. He had to kind
of jump to to get home Well, I think that's what
the Supergirl crossover is gonna be. Well, they
already closed all the rifts. So Oh, you're right.
I didn't think about that. So So but he's he's
bound and determined to go back to earth to to
get Jay Garrick or get revenge on you know Zoom.
Good point. And even though there's like that
whole conundrum with, you know, Zoom, Jay Garrick
and that guy in the metal mask, who I think are
all three the same person. Or variations from,
you know, of the same person. So I'm kind of
I'm kind of torn there. And then the whole thing
with, you know, the Supergirl thing. Yeah, it's
going to be a one off. And kind of I think it's
gonna be a throwaway episode overall, but I I'm
not entirely I'm not entirely sure what the purpose
of it is other than to garner more attention
towards the other show I think that's what it
is. I mean, that's fine Which is fine, but and
I'm okay with them joining universes I just after
that point then it makes it possible that you
know Superman and Martian Manhunter and Supergirl
and you know, you know Batman somewhere in the
universe Just not going to vocalize it You know
would technically coexist with this universe
if they're in the same universe so mm -hmm or
be possible to cross over at some point so So
yeah, I mean I'm I'm kind of met at expectations
there I'm not either way on it Legends of Tomorrow
I'm kind of I Wanted I at some points I'm overwhelmed
with you know how well they've done and then
I'm underwhelmed at points and then it kind of
meets at other points because it kind of turned
into a villain of the week thing mm -hmm and
I in its vandal Savage every episode so they're
constantly cramming it down your throat and it's
like I'm trying to think of a comparable show
It's like almost like watching like a You know
Police procedural like every episode and then
they they catch their you know either narrowly
miss or something bad happens in their attempt
to try and Get to their culprit. Yeah, I It's
just a big cluster of trying to capture the guy
in every episode the they majorly fail or they
damage the ship or somebody dies or somebody
gets injured It's the same story every episode
even though they keep time jumping and to me
the only thing I've enjoyed so far is the going
to the future and sing future Oliver Queen Yeah
In Connor Hawk who I believe is going to end
up becoming a part of the Legends of Tomorrow
group Maybe For me what really I forgive me listeners
if I said this in the last episode I was on but
I feel like Don't know how well how well how
long the show can go on with vandal Savage being
the villain because you basically cast an immortal
as your villain Which I don't know how that works
Second well, they're saying the only one that
can kill them is hot girl with that specific
thing But that's still which I think brings the
reason that he can You know be reincarnated.
I think that's dumb, too To be completely honest
with you. Plus, we don't know why Malcolm took
his ashes. So Uh, that should be interesting.
Um The other issue I have is well one of the
things that makes each episode fun for me I agree
with everything you said yes It is kind of like
monster of the week this that the other thing
just a different time period Uh, and again, forgive
me if i've said this I feel like everything that
they've done is something that's already already
had to happen And I feel like I said that already
it's it's like watching indiana jones because
If you took them out of the movie, it still happens
the same way But it's not but it's not even that
like I feel like they had to like it Just what
we're seeing is events that had to happen for
hunter's family to have been killed by savage
Like he's not correcting anything because he
already did it You know what i'm saying? Yeah,
because it and what what kind of drew me to that
conclusion was the one episode where everyone's
getting together and they're drinking um Hawk,
Hawkman's blood. And he rip gets mad and says
the names of his family. And Savage is like,
now I know the names of your family and I will
find them and I will kill them. Yeah, so like
if he never went on his journey, like that had
to happen in order for that for, you know, that's
what that's what I'm saying, like. he's caused
his own yes exactly it's it's just a loop like
that has to happen because otherwise his family
won't die and it creates a paradox like it's
just i i have a feeling that by the end of this
if this doesn't get renewed for a second season
or they figure out another way around it they'll
end up going back in time to before rip hunter
recruited them and killing him thus nullifying
the entire show Possibly my theory for legends
of tomorrow Well, I'll share this one as the
last one because it's kind of a going forward
expectation, but yeah anymore My other thought
is that either either that or they'll eventually
replace rip hunter with an alternate timeline
version where it's like booster gold taking Well,
that would be fun. I want to see cuz I would
almost prefer that because then You would have
the adventures of booster gold and like, you
know blue beetle and some of the other so I would
love to see booster gold But I would also there
is another character that I would really like
to see because you know, we're never gonna see
Batman You know that nightwing. Nope, not not
nightwing. I mean they've teased that one for
a while but Who I would like to see the show
and I'm trying to look up the actor that I want
to play him because I'd rather say the actor
than rather than that character from that show
Oh Boy, where is it? Why is IMDb so difficult
to use now? I don't know I Want to see the stars,
but you're not gonna show me the stars are you
he's in I'll tell you this he's in supernatural
Now I can't see sense and apples No, no, no,
no. He plays Castiel. Oh, I can't think of the
guy's name and he doesn't. They don't do cast
photos anymore. They just do cast lists. It's
ridiculous. I could. I'm going to look up Supernatural
because I know is because he's a he's a one of
the main. Here it is. Hang on a second. I'll
find it. I know it just took me up. Where is
it? Let's see if I can find it before you find
it. Yes, you got it. I want to see him. No joke.
I want to see him play the question. That could
be interesting. It'd be somebody different. You're
not going to get Batman. So I was trying to think
who could you actually see in this role? Fulfilling
that type of role and having just watched Justice
League Unlimited again. I really think the question
could do that role. And maybe it's just Misha
Collins, maybe it's just his trench coat. But
I really think it's the way he carries himself
and how he talks too. Yeah, I really feel like
he could play the question. So. But yeah, so
you got it. I don't mean to keep stealing the
mic from you. Oh, no, that's fine. I actually
kind of like that idea of him playing the question.
I would kind of like to see like Red Robin or
Nightwing kind of show up. Even even though they
can't show Batman. I think you're more likely
to get in Nightwing if they can than anybody
else. Yeah Well, that's why I said that either
of those two and then I kind of wish they'd have
like hell Jordan show up and flash But I know
they won't do that They've teased him Well, just
like they've teased the like that actor that's
playing some unknown character in Batman v Superman
and they said that the flash or that Green Lantern
is not technically in it this guy every time
you see a shot of him and it's some kind of official
photo of some kind and it's got like this green
hue over him and He's making some green comment
like every time which leads everybody to believe
that he's gonna be Green Lantern Because he's
cast in some unknown role and he's not allowed
to discuss it He's supposed to be on this Air
Force base, which is the Ferris air thing. Okay
Every time you see a shot of him. He's got there's
something green and they're showing his name.
So There's insinuation that he's playing pre
Green Lantern Hale Jordan Hmm This was which
I kind of agree with I Just I cut I made a comment
about it the other day too with some of the other
People on Twitter It was it was somebody along
the lines of just get to the freaking point Just
tell us that it's that that person already or
just don't say anything and don't promote the
fact that he's in the film Like yeah, it's weird
that they're willing to tip their hand. It's
about certain characters and not about others
But at this point maybe they're just trying to
kind of play Damage control against the people
that are complaining that there's too many characters
in the movie Which I think as long as they have
them you know as a brief like kind of you might
see a shot of them or something and they may
not have speaking roles kind of like akin to
luke skywalker and the force awakens and you
know i don't even think it's gotta be like that
i mean i just look at how i know this is i i
keep reading this i look at how like some animated
movies are handled OK, and I'm just going to
keep going back to Flashpoint Paradox because
it's like it's the last movie I saw. It's like
right there. It's like an hour and 20 minutes
almost. Oh, sorry. Is 112 minutes like an hour
and 12 minutes or something like that? I feel
like it's like an hour and 12 minutes. But like
that's an hour and 12 minute movie and they cover
a lot of ground. So I feel like if you had that
same like if you and a lot of those things, they
could duplicate those things. in like a live
action movie, like almost shot for shot. And
it would still like hold up. But, you know, obviously
it moved really fast. But again, if they ever
did a Flashpoint movie, you probably have like
another hour of context for like scenes to breathe
and things to happen and things to look cooler,
if you will. So I just and they throw a lot of
characters at you like a lot. Of character even
justice league war is another example. Like if
the justice league movie follows like The the
plot line for justice league war like pretty
closely. That's awesome And it just has room
to breathe for like another hour versus the car
versus that cartoon But that has like tons of
characters in it And it's not and it goes back
to the argument we've made before I don't think
there's a problem with casting all these people
like people were mad because they cast cyborg
and Aquaman and all this other stuff and they're
all gonna be in this movie it really depends
on like the size of the role and like what it
is like he might not be cyborg but the guy that
if they're gonna go see like a scientist Why
not have it be like cyborg like or the guy that
becomes cyborg? like Because that's what it would
be in the comic Why can't it be that in the movie?
It's not just gonna be some joe schmoe So but
again, these are all things i've said on here
before but it's been so long since i've been
on the show I just kind of want to put that stuff
fresh in there. So in case you have any listeners
they can hate my opinions all the same But um,
so yeah It'll be interesting to see what happens
But yeah, I do wish they I just feel like some
of this stuff might be like well We're not gonna
tell you who Jenna Malone is. We're not gonna
tell you who this guy in the green light is Probably
maybe it's just like coverage for that backlash
They've been getting for you know, people saying
they've cast too many people for this movie even
though By the time when we see the movie it might
not even feel that way So yeah, I'm I'm one of
the people that complains that they've got too
many people going on too many cooks in the kitchen
on the character front, but I I'm gonna wait
and see cuz like Civil War is gonna be the same
boat. I just don't understand how like I get
it. I guess I can understand it I just don't
see how Like cuz you say you're one of those
people But what because we gave the example of
like the animated movies that have just as many
characters if not more and those movies we consider
those movies good and they're like an hour and
12 minutes long but you think a live action movie
with just as many characters that's like you
know 100 longer can't do can't tell just as good
of a story i don't know if it's that i think
it's because it's a new universe and figuring
out like i don't know how they're I'm okay if
they don't do the origin stories. Actually, I'd
be perfectly fine with them not doing origin
stories ever again, because we all pretty much
know most of them. But I don't know if I want
to see that many characters show up this early,
especially when it's supposed to be like a Batman
versus Superman type scenario, even though they've
already let... Wonder Woman out of the bag is
a major player in this movie and Lex Luthor and
the other character That's gonna be a part of
the problem that Luthor sets Like I said, I again
just have to wait and see but I was just curious
cuz I just wanted to throw that out there It's
like, you know, we all love the the animated
movies But it's like when it comes to that many
characters being a live -action movie. All of
a sudden we all cry foul So I think it's because
live -action films don't necessarily get as much
time You spend more time on the action than you
do that on the dialogue or the meshing of characters
together Whereas in the animated stuff, it's
more of the characters talking amongst each other
and then there's the action I feel like there's
a healthy mix of both But I could be wrong. I
think it I think it depends on the film I mean
again the two that I'm referencing here are Flashpoint
Paradox and Justice League War Well, yeah the
animated stuff I think is great but It's when
it comes to the live -action. I'm not necessarily
like totally sold, right? Well, I'm just saying
you said that That's okay. I So we'll just have
to see what happened I was trying to play devil's
advocate or give you a hard time or whatever.
So But the lamp the one of the expectations I
have or I don't know if it's expectation or prediction
but we all know the The runaway thing with arrow
going on like the thing they keep teasing us
with at the end of every episode and they kind
of Tease us with in in in certain episodes, which
is who's gonna die? I think my expectation prediction
if you will due to something that happens in
either the flash or legends of tomorrow It won't
be a funeral. It'll be a wedding Yeah, I think
you're right But then again, remember, my expectations
for season two of Flash and season four of Arrow
were way off. So but I just keep thinking what,
you know, we've got two shows that deal with
time travel or the possibility of time travel.
And what is the opposite of a wedding or a funeral,
a wedding or a birth? But at this point, because
no one in the show has been confirmed to be pregnant.
I'm going to go with wedding. Yeah. So. Yeah.
Think that about rounds it out. Yeah So yeah
sound off in the comments below. Let us know
what you guys think on on our crazy fan theories
Or share some of your expectations like that
you you've had for certain properties and did
they did they Did whatever it was meet your expectations?
Exceed your expectations or just fail miserably
so So yeah, so how can the people get a hold
of you on line? They can harass me in the comment
section here for this episode or at booth ninja
81 on Twitter and They can get a hold of me at
SCP 21. There will be another clip after this.
So stay tuned after the break Welcome to the
Wicked Radio Network. Look for us every week
on GeekCastRadio .com, Stitcher Smart Radio,
iTunes, Blog Talk Radio, and AlterGeek .com.
And now, back to the show. You're listening to
the AlterGeek News Network. Hello and welcome
to the AGNN I'm your host Steve Megatron Phillips
and in this episode or part of the segment of
the the show I Am planning to cover quite a few
things Obviously and before the break we covered
Civil Wars spider -man which showed up and spoilers
he jumps After Iron Man calls him so he's on
team Iron Man as it appears so far and steals
Captain America's shield and manages to web his
hands and then he is perched up on top of either
a bridge or a vehicle up high and He speaks and
sounds like a dorky teenager, but that's a given
being that he's gonna be 15 So that's you know
people are complaining about it already. Whatever.
It's it's You know somebody's got something to
complain about I'm trying to look at it optimistically
because it's just a five second clip in the trailer
and I've already said my piece about the suit
itself Again, I'm trying to like it. So it's
I'm not totally hating on it I am happy that
they have spider -man and I do really like the
character of spider -man. So that's that set
aside So I was reading something and this is
kind of an interesting Nintendo has come up with
a new Nintendo 3DS virtual console where they
have certain games that are available that are
SNES games, Super Nintendo. that the reason they
had to have this new 3DS is because the old 3DS
couldn't support Super Nintendo games on the
Virtual Console. I don't know if this is legit,
but a lot of places I've seen this, people have
been complaining about it. and then other people
have been saying that you've been able to play
emulated versions of these, the older versions,
even the 2DS, for years. And then there's still,
people are a little miffed that they have to
rebuy the game yet again, so like, if you bought
it on a virtual console in general, I would think
you wouldn't have to rebuy it on every device,
but it's appearing that way, and they're... putting
a price tag that's $7 .99 apiece for games that
we've been buying since the early 90s, which
is kind of ridiculous at this point. You would
think that they'd just put them at $1 .99 and
then just call it good because most people are
fine spending the amount of a Coke on a game
of some sort or even spending it for an app in
general. So I would legitimately spend about
$1 .99 on one of these games to be able to play
them again on the virtual console on my 2DS.
to spend eight bucks. I've already done some
of that on the Wii, and there's no way I would
buy these games again. So yeah, I think that's
kind of a messed up problem, but again, it's
stuff that happens. So yeah, I've been enjoying
the trailers. That have been coming out the Batman
V Superman stuff's been great The Civil War one's
been great I Don't know I still like the Tobey
Maguire spider -man suit I know I keep driving
back to that, but I think I like that better
just the the way it looks It's I don't know it's
more definition in it The eye thing is a little
weird for me, too, but I guess they'll come up
with a reason why that works Sorry, just couldn't
help it. I'm I'm scrolling through my Twitter
feed and then the Daisy Ridley thing with the
Tomb Raider that That's an interesting casting
So, yeah There's been the season finale set dates
for Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, I Zombie
and so on and so forth So Flash It appears we'll
close out its second season on May 24th, which
if I'm not mistaken is the week that it's going
to come back. So it's a little weird. So yeah,
there's that. I'm sorry, a little confused, stupid
ad played on one of the websites. And yeah, Arrow's
gonna have May 25th. Legends of Tomorrow apparently
is May 19th. iZombie is April 12th. Oh, it's
in May, dear, I'm thinking March. Why am I, I
don't know. Don't bother me. Supernatural is
May 25th. Those are pretty much the shows I watch
anyway out of those CW shows. I watch five out
of those ten that are shown. I'm kind of intrigued.
I'm hoping that the seasons get better progressively
as they go on. I don't hate any of these shows
by any means, so I'm looking forward to more
of them. I hope that they get renewed again.
But that that remains to be seen Side note We
have at the geek cast radio network been admitted
to the Large ass movie blog the lamb so that's
kind of a fun point So there's that I was also
going across earlier on the About the new Star
Trek series and I know I brought some of this
up last week and I know that it's it's kind of
little possibly annoying, but the The show is
going to be on the CBS app. They are gonna have
the first episode on television. They do have
Brian Fuller Attached as the showrunner. They
do have Nicholas Meyer as the writer they do
have Roddenberry on board I I keep bringing this
up because I'm really it's one of those shows
that I'm truly optimistic for even though I'm
kind of curious and some things are kind of got
me questioning it because I think Kurtzman is
involved too but I I'm just wondering what direction
they're gonna take it and if they can take it
back to the like the Trek of old and in some
regard I'm not saying it has to be like verbatim
the stuff that we've already been fed over the
last 50 years, but I want to see something I
Don't know something fresh with it, but not lose
its its appeal and its aesthetics that we That
a normal Trek and I'm not trying to like alien
anybody it sounds weird no matter how I say it
but a normal Trek fan of old Would enjoy it if
that makes any sense whatsoever So yeah, I'm
kind of hoping that it does that So There's a
new downloadable emulator that makes NES games
3D. It was on Game Tyrant that they showed this.
Giad Studios is working on an emulator that allows
you to play NES games in a 3D environment. But
definitely needs a lot of work. It says some
titles like Dr. Mara and Super Mario Bros. 3
look pretty damn good. Others like Contra tend
to drag. It looks a little weird, the game...
The good news is the fact that someone was able
to do this means that we now have the opportunity
to perfect the technology and update our favorite
games at will It's pretty cool because it makes
some of the characters stand out a little bit
more like they're kind of like they enter an
emboss or something around them and then the
the Stairways or the the parts that the character
stands on stand out and there's definition to
it and it definitely shows It looks really neat
The emulator is and I'll have to put this in
the episode post, but it's on a website. You
can actually download it and try it out. I'm
not condoning piracy on the emulator front, but
I used to run an emulator site years ago. I mean,
years ago. Would give it a shot if you own the
game and you want to try something out and see
how it looks Because I'm kind of curious myself.
I might actually try that out and let you guys
know This just in Arnold Schwarzenegger's and
talks to return to the predator I wonder if they're
gonna actually Continue the predator with him
or if it's gonna be another like part of the
rebooted universe and him playing the predator
Hmm Well, I guess it says reportedly he'd be
reprising his role as Major Alan Dutch Schaefer
in the Predator And apparently Shane Black's
directing so I'd get behind that that would be
pretty neat. I I'm a huge fan of Arnold anyway,
so anytime I see him show up in something I'm
super stoked Nickelodeon has the TMNT return
of the 80s Turtles And in this kind of collage
of CG animated turtles of time travel, the 1980s
turtles and Krang will cross over in time travel.
Although I don't see how it could be time travel
if they're different universes. It would be more
so universe travel or time travel in that regard.
I don't know. Anyways, the 2D animated 80s Carter
parts and the trans -dimensional turtles to add
icing to the cake, the original voice actors
will be reprising their roles with Cam Clarke,
Rob Paulson, Barry Gordon, and Townsend Coleman.
Pat Fraley will also reprise his role as Crank,
which is awesome. God, that's awesome. It says,
if that's not enough, the episode will pay tribute
to the original comic book version from Kevin
Eastman and Peter Laird. In Transdimensional
Turtles, all eight turtles must battle to eliminate
both the 80s Crang and Crang Subprime, which
are basically the same character. Crang Subprime
is Gilbert Godfrey, and 80s Crang is Pat Fraley,
which I can do an impersonation of them. That
was pretty bad, but I can do it normal, usually.
It's just late at night, don't feel like doing
it. After meeting the 80s counterparts in a 2D
animation world, the entire clan moves back into
a CG animation dimension, giving their new retro
friends a taste of their realm, which... Actually,
I actually like them in the reverse order. I
like the new 2012 Turtles in the 80s animation
aesthetic. and I like the 80s turtles and the
2012 aesthetic. The looks are just phenomenal.
I really, really love this look. And I love the
throwback. And it's a tasteful throwback, so
it's kind of cool. So this is season four of
Turtles. Follows the Turtles as they embark on
the most epic adventure yet, outer space. Allied
with the Fugitoid. So yeah, I'm... I'm really
liking this this turtles and the video clip they
have on this is just fun It brings back so many
nostalgic memories, but it's not like it's not
annoying and beating you over the head with it.
So Definitely have to check that out Side note
as well for the GCR and again, we have the GCR
and Top 50 video game franchises coming up that
should have ready to launch soon, so be on the
lookout for that. Other than that, I think that
about rounds out the AGNN, so I'm hoping next
week to have a segment on something else, but
for now, until next time, get altered, get geeky
with the Altered Geeks.
No chapter markers for this episode.
