 Hey guys, welcome to the Comic-En podcast. We're all geek culture collide. We're your hosts, I'm Shannon. I'm John Wise. And this week, we got some news for you. It's supposed to be news in a flash. Yeah. It's not very fast. No, no. But it's kind of cool because flashing, you know, comic books, you might as well just call this news in an Aquaman or whatever. Rod is lame. Aquaman's becoming cooler. It was so much sick when it fridged. All right, so the X-Men movies and the TV shows won't be linked, no shared universe. Lauren Shuler Donner confirmed Legion and the X-Men movies won't be connected. Now, are you related to Richard Donner? I don't know. I don't know. What did you wait? What did you call her? Lauren Shuler Donner. OK, I didn't hear you pronounce Lauren correctly. I was going to give you a shout about it. Got me a little copy of the Wolverine. That's good. Yeah, it was good. I think I might like for Wolverine 8th or the 8th minute rather than that one. Really? For those wondering, this is Gary. He's a writer and a customer. So you might chime in here and there. What do you think about that? What do I think? I think of everything else everybody thinks. Marvel needs to get the X-Men movies back. Why would you not want to try to connect that to your X-Men franchise? The reasoning behind it, I guess, was because there's going to be a lot of messing with the timeline on the Legion show. And so they didn't want to have to worry about messing things up for X-Men. Wait, why is there time messing? That's not one of his abilities, is it? Well, besides the whole age of apocalypse thing. Oh, he did go back into it. OK, all right. I guess it is not the psychic, the psychotic abilities. All right, I guess that makes sense. I didn't hear the reasoning behind it. All right, so I guess it makes sense. I am looking forward to this series, though. He's not a character you would normally sympathize with. He's always been a psychotic villain. He's schizophrenic. Each schizophrenic character has a different power, which is very much in line as what's your name's power from heroes. Yeah. So. Also, the Gotham season finale will be teasing Harley Quinn. Yay. I like Gotham for the most part. They're really going the smallville route. Yeah, they went, I think they had a plan. And it just kind of spiraled out of control. I am happy they started bringing Jerome back in the last nice episode, which was very lackluster, in my opinion. See, like I said, this idiot didn't freaking keep up. And I was even watching wrestling and going back. Well, I'll watch it. See, I was busy working on videos, trying to get a subscriber. And what's part of your videos? What's part of your videos? Reviews. See, the thing is, I think you didn't watch Lucifer last time. Oh, Lucifer was on. Oh, Lucifer, yeah. You missed Lucifer. I didn't watch it. Well, I could catch him on demand tonight, though. Yeah, I'm going to go back and re-watch Gotham. That's the good thing about having on-demand services. But I wasn't really impressed with the episode. So I mean, the cool thing, there were a few cool things. They did hint at the Cult of Jerome. There's some weird shit going on with Joker and Nigma that I didn't understand. So Eddie Thawne, where we turn to season three of Flash. I don't think it's specified who's going to be a villain or not. Since the timeline did get kind of messed up, I'm wondering. Kind of? Very fucked up. I was trying not to say that. Oh, you want to know, suddenly, you want to keep this a family-friend-like series. News in the Flash, not going to happen. Superman is set to debut as a more classic-looking costume. They won't be returning the trunks, but they will be returning the red boots. Right, and the cuffs. Yeah, and they're removing the cuffs. So that's going to be in Superman number 20 and action comics number 977. Star Wars will not bring back Carrie Fisher's land with CGI. We pointed this out last week. I'm good either way. It's this more challenging story arc for them. It will be disappointing to future fans who don't really know, who aren't really aware of her dying right now, you know, they'll be. Now, I apologize if I get her name wrong. But the girl who played Eleven in Stranger Things isn't her name Jackie Brown. I'm not sure. I think her name is Jackie. I could be wrong. I know her last name's Brown. She is fighting to play a young Princess Leia in one of these side story arcs, like Han Solo or Boba Finn. That would be interesting. If you look at her and you look at younger pictures of Carrie Fisher, they look so much alike. See, I think she looks a lot like the lady from the 90s version of Miracle on 34th Street, the mother. I think she also played on Independence Day. She was a redhead. She looked like they could be mother and daughter. I don't know. I think she looked a lot like young Carrie Fisher. We have some sad news. Yeah, sad news in the wrestling world. We lost a Hall of Fame. Whoa, there we go. Sorry. What are you doing to my computer, man? Touch it. Some sad news. We lost a legendary Hall of Famer in the wrestling world a few days ago this weekend and Jimmy Superfly snuck out. But we've got some good news, too. Betty White is still kicking. But Betty White just celebrated her birthday at age 97? I think so. 94, 97 somewhere around there. She's still alive. She just celebrated her birthday. So happy birthday to Betty White. And it was just announced last night, made official. Kurt Engel will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. It's also speculated that Undertaker will be the headliner for the Hall of Fame. I'm thinking I'm going to wait till next year now that they put Engel in there. I think Engel is going to be the headliner. But there's also rumor that Ravishing Rick Rude. Those are all confirmed. No, they're not yet. Not yet. Rick Rude, Erwin R. Scheisser also knows Michael Tunda, The Natural Disasters. I feel like I'm missing some here. It's speculated that. And this is kind of big and uproar in the wrestling world. Beth Phoenix is rumored. Really? Yes. Before Miss Elizabeth, before IEV, Molly Holly, China, before, you know, Bol Necano, before any of them, they're going to try. Rumor is they're going to Beth Phoenix. Not taking anything away from Beth Phoenix. She was a great, she was one of the few great female wrestlers that they had at the time. But she's, I think she's just going to put her in her because of who her husband is. Who's her husband? Edge. Oh, OK. Oh, Christian was another one. Christian was another rumor. So as soon as I get my wrestling podcast, The Pit Going, I'll be going more over wrestling, saving the wrestling news for that. Also, a few people have been confirmed for Avengers Infinity War. Nebula will be returning. Spider-Man. Benedict Cumberbatch will be using a stand-in until they can do reshoots. Right. Because of the scheduling with Sherlock, which I did finally finish the series. I just haven't watched that Christmas episode yet. Oh, you've got to watch that Christmas episode. That's a brilliant spot. I like the route. They're going with Moriarty. It's probably the best. I think it's the best episode they've done in Sherlock. And I love that entire series. Here's one I just found out today from this guy. Go ahead. Jeff Bridges may be playing Darkseid. Not Darkseid. Like most people call him, his name is fucking Darkseid. You illiterate comic book morons. Thank you for insulting our audience. I'm sure they appreciate that. I'm sorry. That's one of my pet peeves. When people, ignorant people, call him Darkseid. Well, if they would have spelt it right away, instead of leaving it open for interpretation. Well, that just proves you're not a true geek. If you're calling him Darkseid. There have been multiple cartoons that have called him both, though. I've never heard. I've heard a couple of times. In the original, Superpowers, Galactic Guardian as Darkseid. In Superman the Animated Series, Darkseid. In Justice League Unlimited, Darkseid. I swear I have a cage here. Somebody say Darkseid. But no, it is Darkseid. Even the toy collector on Discovery Channel or whatever calls him Darkseid. This is a guy whose job it is to find toys. Aliens. Sorry. So this past Friday the world finally got its Nintendo geek on with the reveal of the Nintendo Switch. For those who've missed it, the Nintendo Switch is the next system after that we use that Nintendo's bringing out. It's a three-way system. You can play it on your TV. Oh, a three-way? It's a three-way. Play it on your TV. You can take it off the charger and use it as a handheld. Or you can put it on your table and play it on your table. It's retailing for $299.99, so $300. It's pretty cool that they showed off the controllers, which the controllers look and sound amazing. Apparently you're going to be able to hold a controller. And if there's a game that pours icing, you're going to be able to tell how many pieces of ice there in the glass, the liquid. It's got all this weird, awesome technology. Let's say that's an actual game. I'm just saying that's an example that they use. The games they got for this day in the area is 80 games in production. They've got some pretty cool launch titles. They've got Zelda, of course, is the big one that they're bringing out. Zelda, Breath of the Wild. And then the next day, of course, all the reservations sold out, because that was when you were going to be able to reserve it. I got my reservation. I was ninth person in line at our local GameStop. And there was a special edition master set of that Zelda game, where it came with a case and a statue of the Master Sword and a coin and all these others, cool stuff. Fucking GameStop had only like four of those damn things, or four or six of those reservations. And I got up there just as the guy performing order the last fucking one. So I got the standard edition game. I'm really looking for those. They've now sold all these different games, all these different third party. They actually, that was a big complaint with the Wii U. We didn't have that third party companies making games. They have a slew a huge amount of third party case and port they're having to have a version for the switch of Skyrim, which I might actually go ahead and grab. See, I even have it on 360. I had Skyrim on PS3. I couldn't really get into it. It's just so slow moving. I liked it, I liked it, all right. Yeah, it's cool for open world gameplay and everything, but just so slow. It takes forever to get from one town to the next. There's no fast travel options. I like that simple fact, it's realistic. Yeah. I like the realistic. As realistic as you can get with freaking dragons in the game. They got David Daniels Splatoon 2, which I haven't played the first Splatoon. But the excitement of the second one has gotten me kind of wanting to play it. They announced Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. So a lot of people are upset because a lot of the themes they're bringing out are already available on other, you know, like the Wii U or other systems. But Super Mario 8 Deluxe, they added extra characters. And they added a battle mode to this, which I guess the previous one didn't have a battle mode. And they added all these different tracks for the battle mode. I haven't played Mario Kart. I have Mario Kart 64. 64. 64. There was the last one. But it looks cool. It's great. I might actually pick it up. I'm seeing myself doing what I didn't do with the Wii U, which was, A, get excited. And B, oh, this game's coming out soon. I think I might want that. This game's going to be Wii U didn't have that. Another awesome game that's coming out in the holiday area here is the Super Mario Odyssey. And Super Mario Odyssey is going to be, one of the levels is more, he looks like he's in the real world. He's in, I guess, Donkey Topia. But this looks like New York City. OK. And then there's other worlds where it looks more Mario-esque. It looks really cool. If you play Mario Galaxy, you know, he had a little star friend this time. He has his hat. There's something with his hat where he can use it as a weapon. And if he throws it out in the middle, he can step on his hat to get to another platform. So what's that villain's name from 007? Odd job. Odd job. So Mario's becoming Odd job. Yeah. The game looks pretty cool, though. You can tell what they were showing wasn't finished. That's why it's coming out during the holidays. Plus a lot of the games like Splatoon, or Splatoon 2 isn't that's not coming out till the summer. Mario's coming alive. A lot of people are upset about that. I understand because they put everything out at launch. What are they going to bring out during the summer? What are they going to bring out during the holidays? So I'm thinking once I get some time for a break, because I've been just kicking it into turbo while cranking out these videos. Oh, this is what I used to do all the time. Just having them backed up so that whenever my work season starts, I have some saved up, so I don't have to. Well, like we're going to do some reviews. We're going to be doing filming, anyway, some more human stuff. I'm going to be filming some more sawler stuff next week when we come back and film. I'm probably going to end up doing a couple of play sets. I want to do the ad act from the Rogue One. Right. I want to do that because that's just a really awesome freaking vehicle. We need to come up with a specialty review. Like Pixel Dan reviews Ninja Turtles and He-Man figures. He does other stuff, but that's his specialty. And then Shardimus Prime's specialty is the Transformers figures. I haven't heard of Shardimus Prime. Now, I would like to go ahead and give a big shout out to Pixel Dan. Again, he's been somebody I've kind of watched and got some techniques down from him, not trying to steal from him. But I do occasionally find myself going, hey, guys, or it's comparison time. I do find myself occasionally doing that. I kind of try to, I don't want to be like, oh my god, I just stole from him. He's going to be pissed. Since you talked to him on Facebook, I have a few times, yeah. You really need to ask him if he would want to come on the show sometime. I mean, it's not like he's worse. The worst it can say is no. I mean, it's not like he lives super far away. I guess the worst he could actually say is who the hell you. I don't think he would. No, no. Joe, he used to be a wrestler. Really? Yes. I did not. He posted a picture of himself. He was a wrestler. Actually, he wrestled with a guy I used to work with at Stratus Food called Truck Taylor. Truck Taylor. TRUC Taylor. Cool dude, by the way. But yeah, I blew my mind. I didn't know it was Pixel Day. Yeah, I wondered if that was his name. Pixel Day. Ladies and gentlemen from Illinois, Pixel Day. I don't think that would strike fear into the hearts of anyone. Sorry, Dan. And I definitely plan on giving him a shout out. So in Hela, we kind of name dropped in our podcast. Positively, we're made fun of your wrestling thing. But positive, I thought it was cool. The garbage is over here. I thought it was pretty cool to find out that he did that. And another thing I liked about Dan is he's always, he's always willing to talk to his fans. You know, he'll comment. So he's a pretty cool guy. He has Facebook Dan Yardley. Or you can look up Pixel Dan. I think it's changed to Pixel Dan recently. So look those up on Facebook. He's always posting reviews. He just posted some mad ball reviews for the new Mad Ball series coming out. I haven't watched it yet. And if you're interested, he also posted a review of like legendary Voltron figure. He has all five lines. He goes over those. So check those out. But yeah, we need to come up with a specialty toy line to review that hardly anyone else is reviewing. Because like I said, Shardimus Prime is doing Transformers. Pixel Dan does He-Man and Ninja Turtles specialty. We've done a lot of He-Man Ninja Turtles. Again, not trying to steal from anybody, but it just happens that, you know, I mean, this is a great, you know, series to review. Yeah, great toy line. Gets a lot of views. It was my favorite as a kid. And I like to share that, you know. Yeah. So I'm actually looking at the vintage He-Man and the Skeletor right now with Battle Cat and Panthor. And this is how I put him on display. I always have He-Man displayed with his axe in his hand. I prefer the more mini comic version of He-Man than the Elderly Animated Series. Obviously, I grew up with it. But I always found, you know, the fact that him and Skeletor having to fight to find the two halves of the Power Sword, and Tricasso Grie is about to always have that made for an awesome story. And that's something we never got in the animated series. In any of the animated series, so maybe I'll bring that in sometime, too. I got the actual Dark Horse mini, the book that has all the mini comics in it. Nice. And that's a team of it. It has He-Man, She-Ra, New Adventures, Class Hicks. Yeah. Very nice. It's a freaking thick book. Anything else you want to talk about before we go on to toy reviews, John? I was up all night peeing. Lost a lot of weight, probably. Waterweight. Yeah. Did you drink a lot of tea? I drank a lot of milk. Just bought it. Normally I'd be coming out of the other side. I bought a gallon of milk last night at around midnight. I brought it home. By the time I went to bed, it was over half gone. Save your money. Go buy the cow. Yeah. So we'll be back, guys. Yep. All right, guys, we're back. We finished filming and everything, finished recording the podcast. I was talking to my wife on the phone. John was looking at his phone. And we found out some possible news for you guys. So I'm on Facebook. And I got comicbookmovie.com as one of my likes on there. So they're constantly posting stuff. And one of the things they posted was apparently Ryan Reynolds posted a picture of himself, Hugh Jackman, and Pierce Brosnan in a scene of evil here and over, evil, speak no evil pose. Hugh Jackman would also post a picture with all three of them in the same room together, kind of like smiling and laughing together. I haven't heard of anything as far as Pierce Bronson being casted in the Deadpool 2 movie. There were rumors or almost confirmation that Hugh Jackman may appear in the Deadpool 2 movie. Could Pierce Bronson be our cable? Because I know Ryan Reynolds wanted to go older with that role. Which I would be OK with, kind of? But I'm trying to find a way. If they're going to go older for cable, then they need to get Sean Connery. Maybe too old. He still has a cannon he has to hold. But don't you think Sean Connery would be perfect for this? My issue isn't Pierce Bronson as cable. My issue is a British cable, which we were joking of trying to do a cable with a British accent. And I just don't see. Because he's no, he's was his classic line, and the lone man from Boise or something. Borneo. Borneo. I can't say that in a British accent. I tried. Shannon's over here was laughing at me because I couldn't do it. I'm still hoping for the bad guy in Avatar, honestly. I forget his name. But he has the cable look. And why is there somebody blocking? Like they're blocking that door and everything. So yeah, your thoughts? What do you think? I mean, Pierce Bronson's cable, maybe? Brosnan. Brosnan. I keep calling him Brosnan. Yeah. Pierce Brosnan's cable, what do you think? Oh, man. I'll joke in a side. He was definitely the last person we'd ever imagined. Yeah. They're not even really, I don't know if they're hinting. Brian Reynolds, I don't know if he's hinting. I'm pretty sure that they're kind of confirming it pretty much. Unless he could be another bad guy. I mean, they've already confirmed that the cab driver guy is coming back. Really? Yeah. He's coming back. He had such a small part in the first. Well, so yeah, your thoughts? Oh, man, I don't know. I could see just about anybody else in that role, but Pierce Brosnan. He was in British. Yeah. Because I don't want to hear Pierce Bronson and Brosnan with an English accent, honestly. I don't know if he ever has done a movie with an English accent, but I don't want to hear it. Like I said, if they wanted to go older with cable, I could see Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood. Another little tool. We're talking like Ron Perlman old. Because he would be the perfect cable. Because he kind of wants to do it, too. He would be the perfect cable, really. So I think they're going kind of like that way, not age. But again, he's also been in a number of comic book movies. He was Hellboy, he was in Blade II. He was Beast on Beauty and the Beast in the 80s. Yeah, he did Pacific Rim. Yeah. That's the last two weren't necessarily comic book movies. They were turned into comic books later. Oh, man, I don't know. I want to be OK with it because I like Pierce Brosnan. But I don't know if I would be able to get over a British cable. Every time I look at Pierce Brosnan, I think of Mrs. Doubtfire. Come on, breathe. That was the first movie I saw. That in 007. Oh, it was a drive by a fruitine. Did you got tipped to the winter? You could hear the fruit on his wet hair going squish. That part cracked me. That was Al Cimetti, squish. And then the look on his face like, did you just give me a piece of fucking fruit? But yeah, and of course, James Bond. He was the first James Bond I got to see in theaters. Yeah. And then the Thomas Crown Affair. Never saw it. He played a master thief who he stole the painting, but he didn't actually steal the paint. I mean, I'm familiar with the movie, just I never. So I don't know. Tell us your thoughts. Go into comments below and tell us your thoughts. Of course, I mean, don't forget to hit the like button, subscribe, share. So yeah, my name's Cable. That'd be Sean Connery. Cable. Cable. Yeah, he did it. Oh my god. Sean Connery is Wolverine. Like old man Wolverine. Get over here, Bob. I'm not through with it yet. Shave her tooth. Get you over here. I've got some bones that want to get to know you. Oh, Gene. Oh, Gene. Scott, go and wank yourself. She is with me. I'm the best I is. I'm the best I is at what I do. And what I do isn't pretty. I saw him from Sean Connery did some random skydiving. You went from Sean Connery to Chris Eccleston. Wow. That's amazing. Isn't it? And now, Christopher Walken. I'm Cable. Hey. I'm born, you know, wow. Could you imagine Christopher Walken? I can feel imagine Christopher Walken in anything, all right? Christopher Walken as Heyman. I have a power. Wow. Battlecat. Wow. He's green. Why is he green? I don't know why. He's cool. Yeah. Skeletor. Wow. OK. Christopher Walken playing Sean Connery. I can't do it. Can't do it. I've tried that. I've tried Jack Nicholson and Sean Connery once. I nearly blew my fucking brain out of my asshole. All right, do Jack Nicholson. Oh, Lord, I don't think I have the strength right now. I will do that next week. Somehow this turned really weird. Jack Nicholson as Cable. That'd be cool. Yeah, that would be young Jack Nicholson as Cable. Yeah. With a little more hair. He's a wig and some plaid. Because I didn't ever have hair. Like, he had, I mean, it always looked like he was thin. Yeah, he always had that window's peak. Yeah, always. I mean, I'm almost, I mean, if you go back and watch. Even in one flew over the coup, because of that he had the. Go and watch the old little shop of Horace, the black and white. He has more hair, but he still has that window's peak. Yeah. Which is hard to, yeah, he had freaking tap dancing Christ. All right. Jesus tap dancing Christ. Whose brothers? Jesus aged tap dancing Christ. Have you seen the light? Yes. Have you seen the light? Yes. Yes. Jesus aged tap dancing Christ. I've seen the light. Hallelujah. Yeah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The band, oh, what the band? You know what I mean? I remember the part where in Blues Brothers 2000 where, you know, the light's shining out of him and he magically turns into a blues band. The fact that you remember more about Blues Brothers 2000 and not the original makes me sad. Because that was a horrible. Yeah, it was. John Goodman as a Blues Brother. I like John Goodman. I had no problem with the casting. The story was just fucking ridiculous. I don't know what the hell they tried. They tried to combine the original with a newer take on it, I think. Yeah. It didn't work. They needed to do an actual sequel. Like the closest thing they did to an actual sequel was hint. They didn't come right out and say that Jake died. But they hinted that Jake died. They never came right out and said, you know, Jake died. All right, guys, so how the hell do we open the camera? Dan Acroy does cable. No. Bill Murray does cable. I don't think they're OK with that. He fucking blows up Apocalypse. We came, we saw, we kicked its ass. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. So, you know, he's the baby movie. It looks like turd, but it's not. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. All right, Bill. Take us out of the show. So be good for goodness sakes. Whoa, somebody's cable.
