 I love technology but not as much as you you see but I still love technology always and forever always and forever okay what was that all about i'll give you a second to guess all right hopefully you all remember that was the song that kip sang in the post credit sequence of the 2004 hit napoleon dynamite that's right that movie was ahead of its time in more ways than one it was doing the post credit scene years before marvel was doing it and fun fact that post credit sequence used to drive me crazy because i worked in a small movie theater it was a non-profit so i was a volunteer i worked there purely for the love of cinema and one summer when that movie napoleon dynamite came out it was such a big hit they kept it running at the theater for weeks and every screening i would go in there to clean up all the popcorn off the floor and everything while the credits were playing so i heard that post credits song about a thousand times so i was so sick of it by the end of the summer to be honest now it kind of makes me nostalgic so when napoleon dynamite first came out i wasn't actually a huge fan of the movie it was appealing in the sense that it was new and different unlike anything i'd seen but the comedy didn't quite work for me and it sort of all just felt very awkward and uncomfortable to me and i get that was sort of the point now 15 years have passed and i look at it sort of nostalgically if they made a sequel today i would probably be kind of curious so there is no napoleon dynamite film sequel coming out but it is returning as a four issue mini series comic book this september just in time for the school year now in order to talk about this comic i will have to spoil the movie so spoilers for the 2004 film the poin dynamite coming up in three two one okay remember at the end of the movie how Pedro won and became the new class president so this comic takes place right after the events of the film Pedro is accused of having cheated to win the election Pedro's friends napoleon and deb must team up to clear his name now i just want to say this is one of the reasons why i absolutely love comic books we can get a premise that would never be done in any other medium we're not getting a napoleon dynamite two and we're definitely not getting one that takes place right after the last film if they did a sequel now it would be a 15 years later bizarre you know looking at the characters where are they in their lives now you could never get a film sequel that takes place right after the last film but in comics you can do it in comics you can do a batman ninja turtles crossover that's why i love comics now does that mean this is going to be good uh i don't know if i were a betting man i'd say probably not it's unfortunate it looks like no one from the movie is actually involved in this if the director who was also the co-writer if any of them were creatively involved in this work that will be kind of interesting but it looks like this is people that are unaffiliated with the movie it looks like idw bought the license and they're releasing the comic now i'm still curious i'm especially curious because the tone of the movie is definitely in my opinion not one that would readily lend itself to a comic book it's a very quiet movie with very awkward humor and i'm kind of curious how the writer and artist are going to capture that tone in a comic book and in the press release they say that they have tried to capture the tone of that first movie so out of curiosity i will check this comic out and you better believe i will come back here and review it all four issues and by the way this is actually not the first time they tried to continue napoleon dynamite there was a six episode animated series that aired on fox in 2010 that was six years after the original film came out and that animated series actually returned the entire original cast but unfortunately it was canceled after six episodes i never watched an episode but i didn't hear great things maybe this comic can turn things around we'll see and just to make sure i give credit to the right people this comic is going to be written co-written by two people carlos guzman verdugo and alejandro verdugo those are the writers of the indie comic time cheetah and i googled that i didn't see a lot of information about it so it looks like these are kind of up and coming comic writers so that we should give them a chance in fact i may read at least a couple issues of time cheetah and see based on that do we have any reason to look forward to their take on napoleon dynamite for any reason other than curiosity the comic is also going to be drawn by jorge monlango who uh who worked on adventure time so there's not much information released about this comic yet there's the basic premise we already went through they released cover art for the first issue i'll throw that up on the screen there are a couple of quotes from the writers so from alejandro he said napoleon dynamite is a pop culture staple a coming of age cult classic that spoke to the weirdo in all of us it's an honor to have the chance to expand on the lives of napoleon deb and paedro characters that continue to resonate to this day i still see people wearing vote for paedro t-shirts i agree with most of that statement that movie captured the weirdo in all of us i do think those characters resonated at one point but i don't see those vote for paedro t-shirts too often anymore and in fact reading this article about napoleon dynamite coming back is probably the first time i thought about that movie in at least half a decade maybe a decade but i don't want to begrudge him i am pretty nostalgic about this movie and so a part of me is pretty psyched at the prospect of any sort of expansion to the napoleon dynamite universe adding to alejandro's quote carlos guzman verdugo he said with this news story we're focusing on matching the movie's unique tone finding that perfect blend of oddball comedy and charming slice of life drama it's certainly been a challenge but one we're sure will pay off for longtime fans in right there like i said is why i'm primarily interested in this comic how are they gonna capture the tone of that movie i really can't imagine how you take that and put it on the pages of a comic book as he said it is going to be a challenge and that enough to me is reason to at least check out the first issue anyway thanks for watching today if you like this video make sure to subscribe to our channel hit the little bell icon
