Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right now on source pages, we are getting hyped and
set up for the Thunderbolts movie, which comes out this Friday,
and we are reading the twenty eighteen Jefflimeir run of
Century to figure out who this character is if you
don't know. But first.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We'll be right back. Yeah, it's time for the podcast
(00:39):
Welcome Back my Fellow. Some things, there's not even really
a good welcome back for this Century episode. I'm Haley Hobbs.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I'm Bob. That's what I was gonna say. I was
gonna say, welcome back my fellow. Bob's just because.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hello Century family members.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
There we go, fellow tripolar rights or would you be
considered having try polar tripolar disorder or it's a disassociated
thing because it's actually a physical manifestation.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So well it's like, yeah, it's built of his thought.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah. But by the way, I'm Brian b Kleines, not Bob.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I thought you were Bob.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
No, I was, I could be Bob, couldn't I could?
I can the clarinet anyways.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I don't know what that's a reference to.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It's a friend's reference where they're like you were you
when they were being loud and their neighbor came up.
It's like, you're you're interrupting my clarinet practice. I don't
play the clarinet. No, okay, I can play the clear
It's when they Barcela gets lost the monkey and he's like,
I can own a monkey. Anyways.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Where it's a Monday and it's a mess, and we
read comics and novels as primers for geeky TV shows
and movies like Thunderbolts, which is it's hard to believe
that this is Thunderbolts week, but damn here we are.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, and so far like the people that have seen
it already that are fans saying that it's incredible and
that the post credit scene sets a lot of crap
up and it's bonkers. So because there's a mid credit
and post credit and yeah, I'm going to the movies.
I went to the movies on Friday and Saturday went
and saw Revenge of the Sith in the theaters again,
(02:21):
which I guess a lot of people did because it
finished number two at the box office.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I know my theater was like the all of the
upper half, like nobody wanted to be down right by
the screen. All of the upper half was full when
I went Friday night too, so we went.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The same thing here. There was one empty seat in
the theater we went to. And the kind of disappointing
thing though, was is when uh Anakin, you know, Master Anakin,
you have to sty theaters and then as soon as
he lights his lightsaber, a bunch of people cheered, were like,
what is wrong with you people?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I am happy to report that my theater did not
share it that scene.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
They didn't share it. I still always every time, matter
if I'm watching it at home or in the theaters,
when they do the montage with montage like Kiadi Monday
with his clones and the Order sixty six thing, I
get like, I get like, like there's tiny ninjas cutting
(03:17):
up onions around there because.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's just like, man, it's so set. I teared up.
It's the Obi Wan and Anakin stuff. At the end
of the I I did have a bad person moment,
like and it's not anything against Natalie Portman, but when
she's like, you're breaking my heart, like it does make
me giggle, like just.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They basically did hear dirty. She basically became a Mary
Sue in that movie pretty much.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I mean, we won't get into that, but it's it's
a whole thing, and just her delivery of that line.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I'm always like, like I said, I love I love
the prequels. But if they would have had a not
yes man, no Wrick McCallum would have had a little
bit of a script doctoring to that, they could have
punched some of the things up. The die. The storyline
itself was awesome, it's just the dialogue. A lot of
the stuff is that it was not the greatest, but
(04:07):
I still love them. And my gator.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Applauded at the end of it, which I thought was
really cute.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh yeah, especially when they did this. Our theater broke
into like thunderous applause.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
When we here in Wichita were very demure apparently, but
after first off, I said, at both times when Anakin
or when obi Wan shows up at the brew homestead
and gives the butler's homestead and gives but I'm also thinking,
like the part did he call ahead to say, hey,
by the way, I'm bringing you a child.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
He must have sent them a hollow to be like, okay, hey,
because they weren't surprised.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
No, but when she when she turns around and you
just see Owen standing there with his hands on his
hip and the one leg up into binary sunset our
place erupted into applause.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's cute, and it was like, yes, maybe Edgerton.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Which, by the way, the bookends of the first line
said in a New Hope was C three po saying
did you hear that? And then his last line was
in the last line he had in Revenge of the
Sith was the last line in the prequel trilogy when
after bail Organa says and have the protocol minds protocol
(05:25):
Droid's mind wiped and he goes like what yeah. But
then at the end of Rise of Skywalker, the last
line was C three po saying did you hear that?
So actually, for the Skywalker Sager, it starts with him
saying did you hear that? It ends with did you
hear that?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Cute?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And not to go too much into anymore Star Wars
because this is our century primer. How eppen Good was
the first three episodes of.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And Or extremely aughing Good like it was.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Just it works. I love the way that they're doing
this now, even though you are watching it two and
a half hour move and this one did set up
a lot of a lot of stuff we had to
remember from season one, like the whatever the brigade, the
brigade was that was on Yeavin, that were a bunch
of bumps, Pie Maya Pie last year when if you
(06:17):
remember in season one when Saw and Lutheran we're talking
about letting one like Kreeger's group go and he mentions
Maya Pie, and so I was like, I don't want
to work with those bunch.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Of idiots, and damn they were idiots.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They were idiots. I mean it was just so.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Ifian hated them, we hated them. Everybody hates them.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No, but it also hands a lot of they pulled.
Star Wars has the way of something being so even
at the beginning when uh, He's sitting there realizing he's
taking this tie Avenger and he realizes I don't have
the layout for this, and then the first maneuver it
does is it slams back into the back and I happened.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The humor really good.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
The lebedie and just like Genevie will Riley, Oh my god,
she right now already should have a nomination for Best
Actress in the Drama for mon Mothwait, just for those
her facial express it's more than anything. Is just yeah,
and I even just too seeing just like not getting
too much. But I can't remember her name. I'll always
(07:21):
miss Belinda Chandra when she showed up at the end
of and was just like, I'm like, I already knew him,
like yeah, and that dude's dead. He's dead, and.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Sees him talking to him on He's like, yeah, you're out,
You're on the list.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, and then he's just like and with him being
a sad sack and stuff like that, being like I
got nothing to lose, I might just.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Sort of was messy, like sloppy out there. Oh yeah,
can't be having that.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
At least they did. I'm glad they mentioned the fact
that he was like drunk and hungover and stuff, but
they didn't show him being an idiot.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I mean for him being like, hey, mom, the rebellions
messing up my investments at a decibel unnecessary at the party.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, But then mon was just like, after I was
said and done, was like, you know what, screw it,
took a couple of shots and then danced like no
one was watching, and it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
We've all been there.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, so all right, enough Star Wars talk. I'm trying
to think what else we there was. There was not
much going on else going on.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Ian saw Sinners and it was really really good.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So was it good?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I suggest the.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I've heard good things about it. It also had the
second lowest second week declined like it only declined like
ten percent.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, I saw that on Box Office Mojo. It's at
my theater was pretty full for that too, and that
was like a four o'clock on Saturday showing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So I'm still so the theater. We went and saw Revenge
of the Sith on Friday night. They couldn't show it
in the Adobe Theater because The Accountant Too was playing in.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The Oh my god, I couldn't see it in my
twenty one and over theater, and I was like, are
you serious? I have to be with these peasants like
I can't, but I want all these other movies that
are out right now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Is super commol Well that's the thing too, is though
Revenge of the Sith our theater. It was getting near
the end of the the previews and I had to
go to the bathroom, so I ran into the bathroom
and then on my way back the Adobe theaters right
there so I walked in and looked into this nicety
and there was like seven people there, and I'm like,
there's one hundred and something watching. What does that make
(09:25):
sense with this?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And I'm sure it's like, oh, we have so many
R rated movies. I have to take precedence or something.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No, And here's the thing is, though, all the forty
X theaters around us right now, you know what, they're
playing Revenge of the Sith because it's the best way
to get people in to see the movie. Okay, enough,
ranking now.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I have just one more thing about Revenge of this
There was a tweet I saw that was like from
the moment like Padme and Anakin have their like, you know,
force connection thing across of Corussant. You know, people are
like locked in and just like watch and that was
It's one hundred percent true. Everybody had already gone to
the bathroom if they needed to, they had already gotten back.
(10:04):
Like everybody was just there for the last half of them,
and nobody left, and nobody moved and nobody made like
talked at all. It was so it was such a
singular experience. It was very different than my Phantom Menace
we release experience.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
There was one scene and I never noticed this, and
then one of the guys that went with us, Gunner,
was just like, watch the scene when he's at Mussafar
and he pulls his cloak down, he's got two human hands.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, the reality shattered.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
But here's the thing too, is that there's also a
scene in this comic when Billy, when he's holding that
mind control thing that he gave to the other dude,
he's holding it with two hands. I'm looking, I'm like,
catch it. Why did they write? Wait a second, he shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Anyways, Okay, we'll get into it. So anyways, maybe we
will be talking about this comic longer than No.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's a straight lung, you know, straight ahead fun. It
gives you a fully full idea of who Century is
and what he is capable of. This has always been
what Century is. You've got Bob, You've got the Void,
and you've got Century. Who are not It's not like
doctor Heckel and mister doctor Jekyll and mister Hyde, doctor Hechtel,
(11:21):
doctor Heck. Yeah, that's right, it is three different. He
could make himself three entities in the same place. Right,
So with the if Century is there? The Void is
there too?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Correct, It's based all manifestation of Bob basically, right, it's
all Bob Reynolds ab Yeah. So before well, okay, so
we're doing Century from twenty eighteen issues one through five.
It's called Century World and it was written by a
personal favorite of the cast, Jeff Lemire, who succeeds at
(11:55):
writing mind bending things. Artwork was by Kim Hasento, colors
by Rain Burreto, and letters by VC's Travis Lanham. And
the setup before these episodes, these episode I'm turning into you.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
These issues, is.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That like to save the world from Century and void,
well really from void the Avengers like make well Reynolds.
Bob Reynolds makes this sacrifice his mechanical servant clock c
l O c read Richard's and Doctor Strange erase his erase. No,
(12:33):
this is a different something happens in the Doctor Strange
run before this, which I think is Jason Aaron's Doctor
Strange run. And to save it's the same thing as
what I was gonna read, uh, to save the world
from the Void, because if Centuries there, the Void is
as well. They basically give Bob Brynolds this device to
create a pocket dimension in his mind, which sounds pretty
(12:55):
rad and today would have been really nice to have
as a human being, to keep them there so that
he can live his life on the outside is just
Bob Reynolds and Centry and Void exists in this pocket dimension.
So I feel like going.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
In, he has to be he has to become Century
every so often because other way he has to release
that part of him because he can't let it build up,
as seems.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Like, so that I feel like you need to know
that set up before we start.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And he sort of allude to it a lot because
he has that wristwatch and he's like, I gotta get
back to whatever, just get back into Century world.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So so Bob Reynolds is living with the memory of
being Sentry and the Void, and we see him then
diving in as Century, battling voids, Shadow Army and his
his companions Scout which is another human watchdog, a dog
and Centrists are helping him and basically he's trying to
find Void and he's like he's on the moon and
(13:52):
he punches the moon in half, which is really bad.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
He's on the moon, He's in the moon.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
He'sa get void it's crazy and that seems like a
bad thing. But Scout's like, uh, what are we gonna
do without a moon? And Century's like, don't worry. The
moon is already repairing itself and I have to go.
And that's where we see that he's just been in
this pocket dimension the whole time, doing his required hour
of being Century for the day basically, and that's the device,
(14:20):
the conflictor.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
That almost made it seem like it was like a
Saturday morning serial thing the old movies with like Flash Gordon, like,
here's Century, Bob Reynolds is here with his buddy Scout
and Watchdog and t and yeah, you know it'd be
very weird. They did have that Golden Age look to
their costumes and stuff too.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, since it's all a construct in his mind, it
can be whatever he wants. So he returns back to
the present in his mind with the use of the
conflictor from Doctor Strange and Tony Stark, and he goes
to work at a diner where Billy, who is Scout,
also works and so they're like line cooks essentially, and
Billy's missing his left arm.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And the first picture you really see of like Bob
after this is. He's just sitting there with like no
shirt on, his gut hanging out.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He's got a beard.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, he's just sitting there just like oh yeah. He
definitely is like a line cook looking gut. H Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It looks nothing like Lewis Pullman in Thunderbolts. So during
a break from work, Billy tells Bob there's a lot
of bees in this so I'm sorry if they pop
on my microphone. Billy tells Bob he wishes that there
was a way for him to also be in the
Pocket dimension, but Bob reminds him that that's impossible and
it would also defeat the purpose of him keeping Sentry
(15:40):
and Voids separate from the real world to keep everybody safe,
which is what he's trying to do. So then Bob
is walking home after his shift at the diner. It's
time for him to get home and check in for
his daily trip through the Confluctor, and he gets like
cornered in an alley by Misty Night and agents from
the Adberrant Crimes Division that he CD which we got
(16:01):
a reference to I believe in Daredevil recently. So they
corner him about sticking to a schedule and He's like, well,
I'm trying to get home, but the dynamic is set
up that Misty trusts Bob but very few others do
in the hero world. So he enters his apartment to
(16:21):
do his time and which is basically what it is,
and he discovers that somebody has broken in and stolen
the conflector. So back in Century World, Scout and Watchdog
are awaiting his entry. Century's entry and someone does show up,
but it's not who they're expecting. An issue too. We're
(16:42):
still in the Pocket dimension and Centrist is trying to
make contact with Clock cloc which is it looks like
the eye of Sauron in this but it's like this
Overwatch type thing. So she's trying to get Clock to
locate Century, Scout or Watchdog basically anybody but Clock has
been destroyed by CRANIOH yeah, greatest nemesis and Centrist in
(17:08):
the Pocket dimension is Jenny, who is the waitress or
owner of the diner that Billy and Bob work at,
Billy Batt Billy. But I know it's as I was timing,
and I was like, this is ridiculous. So Cranio has
quote murdered Scout and watchdog. Can you murder a thought?
I don't know. But he tells Centrist before he tries
(17:30):
to kill her that she's nothing but a thought anyway,
which she refuses to believe. She's like, no, I'm real
and he's like, no, you're not. And Cranio, because he's
in the Pocket Dimension, believes that he rules Century's mind.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
So it's just because we found that. It's basically just
the world is a place in Centry's mind. But that's yeah,
it's a physical thing. It's not like you're in there
and can control the mind. It's just where the it's
where basically where the pocket dimension is.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, it's just it's just like a little in his
mind palace. It's one of the little doors unlocked, basically.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So Bob is frantic and he runs to the diner
for help from Billy, and he tells Billy he's already
tried contacting doctors Strange and Tony Stark. And here's where
we start to hate Billy, because Billy's like, eh, what
do you mean you called them instead of me? Like,
I see how it is, bro, And I'm like, listen,
you little bitch. First of all, and then he turns
(18:26):
and he's like, well, you should have come to me first,
but I actually can't help you, but maybe if you
let me be part of this from the start. And
it's like, listen, Billy, take a hike with your bs
and go to therapy like everybody needs to because this
is ridiculous and you are useless. And then he walks away.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It wasn't doctor. He tried to get doctor Strange to
help him, but he was in some other dimensional.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Interdimensional something and Tony just it kept going to voicemail.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Tony wouldn't answer his call. Yeah, And the whole time
Billy's being this is little Liner going like, oh, I
understand that this life here in the real world sucks.
Like they don't really explain how he lost his arm,
but I'm assuming that.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
They do eventually.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
But it's just like, it's not like Bob, Bob is
they have fun. He's doing this to not like kill
the world.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
No, it's literally the little kid be like being a
grown up seems like fun. And then they become a
grown up and they're like, oh, actually it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Bob is like whatever and tries to call Tony again,
but then is arrested by the ACD because he's missed
his window, and they put him in a bunker six
miles underground, which is a significant amount of space. And
Tony's there because Missy called him in and Bob now
it's Bob's turn to blame, and he blames Tony for
(19:45):
not answering his calls, and Tony's like, dude, I can't
always answer your calls, Like, we have to talk about this,
and so they discuss the complexity of the situation, and
Bob starts to talk about how he feels like his
whole life is a compromise because if he does one thing,
it hurts people. If he does another thing, it's also
hurting people, like with Billy. So then out of nowhere,
he becomes Sentry and Tony's like Bob and he's like,
(20:08):
I'm not Bob anymore, Like it's very traumatic. I don't
know what I am. And we switch views and Bob
is in Bob the Person person, Beer gut Diner Cook.
Bob is in the Pocket dimension and Century's on the
outside with Tony. And so when Bob is in the
Century world, he sees Cranio actually kill centrists and he's
(20:28):
not happy about that. No, then we get to Billy
the Bitch and he's leaving work and comes home and
he's like, Hey, I'm home, and you're like, who's Billy
talking to? Oh? Just Cranio with a conflictor on his
head looking all kinds of wigged out while he's in
Century world and Billy's does his evil villain monologue and
his plot is to become the new Sentry.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, that whole part where they showed Cranio. I'm like,
is he like a vegetable now or we never saw
really bob in with the because it's basically it's almost
like he puts this headset VR type thing on in
order to go into the world, and you're not really
it's it reminds me of a few like anime is
(21:14):
like sort out our line or saying your la frontier is.
It's immersive. It's basically immersive virtual reality. When you're in it,
you're unaware of what's going on in the real world.
You're pretty much like asleep, and so you have all
your controls and thoughts are and you know who you
are inside this world. But could you imagine if could
you imagine what would happen if Century would put this
(21:34):
thing on and realize he goes in there and sees
Bob because it's just like where is how how did
why did they have to switch places? Why did real
Bob go back in the century world?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
When manipulating the situation, its a little unclear because how
how do they switch? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It's almost like there needs to be a point where
all three of them exist in some form or which
is otherwise you know, it's just like one has to
be one place, one has to be another, and then
you know, because it's usually Bob is in the real
world and then Century and the Void are in uh
century world, which I don't know if like if that's
always the case when he's gone, like uh, Scout and
(22:20):
Watchdog whatever are like what are we doing when you're gone?
Like they never explained what happens when he's not there.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I think that it's just the Bob is thinking about
these things because he's just going there in his mind anyway. Okay,
so yeah, it's it's a mind trip.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
It could be like Mortis. It could be like Mortis
that when they come back to the real world Rex
Is like you were gone like for blip, like.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Before days plane, like what Bob knows when he comes back.
I took it that he he remembers what happens when he's.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, I think Bob's fully aware of it. It's just
the thoughts in his head that are aware when he
comes back what they're doing for that. It's always like.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You probably haven't watched Severance, but it's kind of like that, okay,
where like your severed part only always sees this work place,
and then you're outside one sees every you know, your
outside world. It's kind of like that. Okay, So that
was issue too. Issue three we do a timeline montage thing.
(23:24):
So six weeks ago, Billy tracked down Cranio, who's working
as a parking attendant because he's been let out of
the raft on good behavior, and Billy begins to put
his plan in motion. He plays on Cranio's ego, reminding
himself that he was the man with the tri level mind.
He knew too much and he was always three steps
ahead of century. And Cranio is like, yeah, this is
(23:45):
working on me. This is where we learned that Billy
lost his left arm to the void. Yes, And then
he explains how Bob is keeping sentry and the void
at Bay with doctor Strange and Tony Stark's hell. And
so Billy's frustration is that Bob has the ability to
escape quote unquote from reality. And you get Billy like,
(24:10):
you get his point, like he's lost a part of
himself and he's stuck in this real world now being
just who he is. But you also when you look
at what Bob has to go there, it's like, was
it really an escape when it's like scheduled time and
you have to go to this like mental prison constructed
for you? I don't know. So that's when Billy asks
(24:31):
Cranio to replicate the golden sentry serum that doctor Cornelius
made and that is what originally gave Bob his sentry powers.
Cranio declares it impossible, but Billy's like, oh, but what
if you have Cornelius's personal notes? And I just have
to feel like he said it like that, here you go, oh,
I just happened to have. Yeah, scam them off his
(24:54):
grand niece, who was very kind to a one armed,
blue eyed, blonde haired Strange, like, Billy, you're the worst.
So Craniy agrees, and they go to his storage unit
to get his old helmet that helps him use his
mentally enhanced powers. And there's this little exchange about his
helmet had three brains in it, and Billy's like, always
(25:15):
thought those were your brains. He's like, no, they're just
monkey brains and from Hyde. But I do need the
helmet to help me.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, it's like they're for show, but the helmet really works.
But it's otherwise they'd be like, why are you wearing
a helmet?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It is a cool looking helmet, yeah, to be fair,
but so it's been so long that he has had
it on. He inadvertently travels into Billy's mind and this
really sets Billy off. He gets very violent with Craneo
and he's like, don't ever do that again, and Cranio
is like, dude, I'm sorry, didn't actually mean to him.
I'm not bad, my bad. I kind of feel that
for Cranio.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
By the end of this, he's definitely manipulated big time.
But yeah, he's he really still a bad guy. He
looks like he's trying to do right, but then it's
also just like, okay, but you're still a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah I know, but yeah. So more montage, Billy goes
to work with Bob at the diner every day being
a deceitful pos while Cranio works to replicate the serum,
which he does successfully, but he warns Billy that it
hasn't been tested and right when this happens, Billy also
breaks into Bob's apartment and steals the conflictor. So the
(26:21):
red flag part is that Billy promises to protect Cranio
if he'll be the one to go into Bob's pocket
dimension and kill him so that Century and Void are
also destroyed, and Craney is like, really you'll protect me, Okay,
I'm like, oh honey, no.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, broken promises, you know, are always like.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Manipulator. So then we're caught up to our timeline in
the comics, and Cranio tells Billy that he saw Bob
in Century World, not Century So Billy takes this to
me that Century is now loose, and I assume they're
in New York City and he of the golden serum
in him and it works. Stunt undone uh. Issue four
(27:07):
is pretty short. Synopsis.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
The penultimate issue.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Billy sends Cranio back into Century World while he goes
to find a century back in the bunker or what yeah,
back in the bunker. Century tries to tell Tony that
he needs to get back to Century world to take
care of Cranio, and Tony tries to stop him, which
doesn't go well, and he busts out of the six
mile underground bunker like it's no problem, because that gives
(27:32):
you an idea of how powerful Century is.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
The Century is pretty much like He's also the equivalent.
There is a character called Hyperion in Marble, which is
literally the Marble version of Superman, which is why it
was funny when Henry Cavill was being rumored to play Hyperion,
and it's like, well that really well, Century is like
Century has like this super like when he it's like
(27:56):
he's opop.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Plus he has the void.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So he escapes and Tony's like, well, crap, now I
gotta go deal with this, and he first he suites
up as Iron Man, and he's like, actually, I think
I need a little extra So he does puts the
Hulkbuster armor on top of his regular Iron Man suit,
and Miss He's like okay, bye, and that's the end
of her in the story. So they're like fighting whatever,
(28:23):
and it's just kind of whatever. Billy shows up with
his sentry power, and Bob's like, what the heck did
you do? You need to reverse this and Billy's like, no,
I'm limited power to reference Revenge of this Sith one
more time. And meanwhile, Bob is still in Century World
and he meets the Void and he's like, hey, I
(28:43):
think I need your help. And now Billy and Iron
Man are fighting, so there's a lot going on, and
Bob decides he has this like inner monologue where he's like,
I've been fighting these two sides of myself and what
if I didn't? What if I stopped fighting? What if
I just accepted myself. It's really sweet, and he merges
with Century and the Void to become something new, and
(29:07):
it's like Emo Century with long black hair and a
red suit.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, it's pretty much like. It reminds me a lot
of Adam Warlock with the Magis where he Adam Warlock
is the the center, corporeal, regular person. He has powers
and stuff, but then he also is like in order
for him, this is way back in the Infinity Gaudlet saga.
(29:32):
What He's the one that basically destroys That's why I
one thought Adam Warlock was going to show up in
Infinity War because he was such a pertinent part. But
he takes out his bad side and his good side,
all his thoughts, so we could be neutral to stay that.
But then the magis is the bad version of it,
and then I forgot who the person that was is
(29:53):
powerful and all thought like like the good side, but
she ends up turning into like a cult leader.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Oh Eve Warlock.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, it was just like and then so basically in
the net run, it was just like at the end,
he goes, yeah, I need to bring it all my
stuff back together because I can't have a good side
in the band side out there, and it's I need
to just be me.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It's me, myself and I.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's the that's all three of them, Me myself and I, Bob,
Sentry and Void. We are now one. Why do we
have black hair? It doesn't matter. It's just a new look.
So issue five, the last issue, Billy just goes absolutely
berserk and starts attacking the new Sentry very quickly. You're like, oh, no, Billy,
you cute little thing like nice try he just grabs
(30:44):
his like right hand because this yeah, you're right. At
one point he does have two arms, but he doesn't
throw the rest of the run, he like breaks all
of his fingers and he just he just like shoves
him down and it gets kind of gnarly. So he
ends up like turning back into just Bob, but he's
got the void around them, so it's dark and only
(31:07):
you can only see the two of them talking, and
Billy's like, I took this serum, but it's like it's burning.
It's burning me from the inside out. And Bob's like, yeah,
I'll do that, and then he's like, let me help
you just pulls his face apart. I don't know what
the point of that was. But then so Billy's dead.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That was let me help you.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Kill Santry assisted you know what a lack and Tony
the void he turns back into New Century. I'm gonna
call him, and Tony's like, oh my god, like Bob,
what have you done? And Bob's like, I have found myself.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, it gets a little like I love it.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
It's like, no, I'm at peace with myself. This is
who I am. And Tony's like, oh, okay, well, if
that's the case, here's the rest of the Avengers, and
it's you know, it's like Cap and Thor and She
Hulk and Captain Marple are some of the ones that
are there, and they're like listen, bro, like you can't
do this, and he's like, oh yeah, watch me. They fight,
(32:18):
but not really because he just overpowers all of them,
but he doesn't really try to hurt them, not like
he did to Billy.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And yeah, he's definitely it's the best. Basically like the
Civil War airport scene where there's fighting, everyone's pulling punches
because everybody we don't want to hurt each other really,
but because we're still friends, but we're on different sides
right now.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
And don't forget about Cranio, because he comes back, but
he's he's just like his normal self. He doesn't have
all anyway. So he enters a battle and distract Century,
and then he takes them both to the mind prisons,
so now they're the mind prison is kind of what
I called it by the end here because that's what
it is. But again, people are underestimating Century's new powers
(33:03):
and he's just like, oh yeah, and he just squishes
his helmets with the brains in it, which causes him
to return back to reality. And that's kind of that.
That's kind of the end of that, Jenny from the Diner,
who was centrist in Bob's mind palace, She's like, what
the hell is wrong with you? You killed Billy, you
killed these people. I don't want anything to do with you.
(33:24):
And he's like, maybe in another time, at another place,
we could have been something. I'm like, you are delusional.
She's like, no, thank you, get out.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, like what could have been was nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And so it ends just with the Century, the Century,
the Avengers and Century kind of standing off, but really
them having a discussion that is like, you know you
can't He says, you know you can't beat me, and
you know you can't beat me, and they're like, well
what should we do? And he's like, you'll just have
to trust me. And when it ends, I think it's
Jennifer Walters that is like, well, is he on our
(34:00):
side or not? And I think it's Cap that's like,
I guess we'll find out. So it was a good run.
I really liked it, very enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I did too, And at the end of reading it, though,
I sat there and I go the first thought first
thought was how the hell is this tying the Secret Wars?
And then I go, oh, wait, we're not doing Secret
Wars Wars content. But it was like, yeah, it's good.
It's definitely a good primer for just knowing what Bob century.
(34:31):
I'm assuming that the big bad in Thunderbolts is going
to be Void for the Void, So it's because and
but I'm also thinking because there's times too where you
see Centry in some of the shots and it's just
like him being sort of like, you know what, It's
almost some of the things almost remind me a little
(34:54):
bit of Anakin, where it's like, if you're not with me,
then you're against me. He's trying to be p magmatic,
but he's also being absolute where it's just like there's
no middle, You're like my way, it's my way or
the highway. And you know, I'll know that because they
even mentioned it how many times in the trailer where
Elena is like, none of us really have powers, none
of us can fly.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Right well, and she says he's more powerful than all
the Avengers together. So I think they're setting us up
for this. You're gonna have to trust me kind of
come to terms, saying by the end of the movie,
which is really the only way you can end that
movie unlessly unless they do something like with the Pocket
Dimension or something like that.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
So I think that they would be definitely not going
to kill off the character of No Century because he's
going to be needed for Doomsday. I am going to
say this too, where I've saw the trailer a bunch
of times again because of it was in front of
the Avens. Yes, the editing when he comes to when
(35:54):
Red Guardian says we're the Thunderbolts, and Bucky goes, you
can't call us, I guarantee you. Somebody says we're the
New Avengers. It's not it's a cut because he's like,
you can't call us the New Avengers, and then he says,
we're the Thunderbolts. It's not like there's no reason why
(36:15):
you can't be called the Thunderbolts.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Could be unless it's like, you can't call us that
because Thunderbolt Ross is in the raft for being a
red hole, aout something, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, because at right this point, really Thunderbolts Ross has
nothing to do with the Thunderbolts. It's all ah Yeahlen's
character theme.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Oh, val Elene, And I was like, that's her.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Name, Elaine from Seinfeld.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Val Well I don't know. I mean, unless she has
a directive to try to make a team, but it
really seems like Bucky has put this team together from
the trailers. Yeah, I'm just so excited. I'm seeing it
on Friday morning.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I'm seeing it Saturday late afternoon, so because that's I
have to stay away from the spoilers. And I think
when is the Red carpet tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It must be right London won last week.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Yeah, and that's where I'm seeing a lot of the
people that were saying that it's funny that a bunch
of the people in the Stranded Panda group have already
seen it too, so I.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Could probably see it earlier than I am, but I'm
waiting to see it with mister, So I don't know.
I think that we've talked about this a lot on
Multiverse News, But I think that Marvel is trying to
figure out how to market these movies differently because they
know they have to. They just they just don't know
(37:51):
how yet. And so maybe, like earlier screenings, trying to
pump up the excitement, uh is one of their strategies
that would make sense to me. I think they really
want this one to do well. Especially in front of
Fantastic four.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Right because that's all we have right now. We just
had Daredevil finish off and it really had absolutely no
tie whatsoever to the existing MCU, which is fine, which
is fine, but it's also but that's probably a good
thing too, where it's like going into Thunderbolts. Really all
you need to see is some of the previous movies.
(38:29):
There's not a lot to do with maybe John Walker
with Captain or Falcon and Aware Soldier, but everything else
is Black Widow.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
At the top. That's why we're only doing a primer
for Century because most of us already know these other characters.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, everyone else, task Master, you know Black Widow.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
And we've seen them, we know them.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Ghosts is finally making a comeback, and she seems like
she's fully stable, not like I get out.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah I'm excited, Yes, me too. It's my most anticipated movie,
so don't let me down. I don't think they will.
Did you see that Florence Pew did that stunt herself?
Or she walks off the building? It's crazy, Oh good
for her.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Has she been in any Tom Cruise movies lately? And
just like.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
He's going to she was like, no, you're gonna let
me do this, so Tom Cruise puts me in a movie. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I still think of that scene where he was talking
about in one of the Mission Impossibles where he's got
to jump across the built the op the gap and
he's supposed to land on the end and then but
he landed too hard. He smacked his leg against the
top and they broke it. And you see it and
it's like, oh, you could hear it leg breaking. But
he's almost just like it's like, you can't. You can't
(39:44):
do this three hundred feet in the air. You're a
multi million dollar actor for like, like.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
My favorite one to me get read Matt Damon telling
the story. They were like a dinner party and Tom
Cruise was telling him the story about something. He's like, so,
you know, I have to my safety guy, but what
I want to do and my safety guys like you
can't do that the way Matt David told me stor
like Tom Cruise goes, so I got a new safety guy.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
New safety guy. Yeah, he's I mean, you.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Just let Tom Cruise cook. That's all there is to it.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, she like fought to do her own stunt there.
So pretty cool, pretty pretty.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Cool, Yes, it is so alrighty. How can people get
a hold of us?
Speaker 2 (40:32):

cool and we like the people that run them and
all that jazz and the names and the links will
be in our show notes, but I'll let you know
right now who the people are. And it is across
the by Frost a mighty thor where this week Ryan
(41:07):
has actual real thor On probably knowing other people he
gets sleepy.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
He has. I was listening today. His episode is somebody
that did props on the first thor movie. Well, there
you go, Doug Brody I think was his name. So yeah, very.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Cool, cool, Dannen have questions. Their latest episode was them
talking about the nineteen eighty four Dune movie and it's
pretty nice, hilarious and got some good takes on that
commute the podcast Segabits, which the Segabits one is run
by my friend Barry, who was actually in Japan for celebration,
(41:42):
so he got to see and do a whole bunch
of Sega stuff because that's where they're from, and he's like,
it's crazy over there. My Tales from the Cantita Rebel
Forest Radio presents the Babu Freaks, Jack Kirby, So Weird,
so fun. And the Star Wars Yo Universe, which is
hosted by our own James Yoda Hugh Hewings and it's
his podcast thing about Star Wars in your everyday life.
(42:07):
So that's it. So yeah, so by the next time
we talk, we'll have seen Thunderbolts, we'll have seen another
and or movie which I'm just calling him the movie.
It's the movie Star Wars movie of the Week. Now,
it's two and a half hours of just I hope
that what they do is because it's funny, is that
(42:27):
at the end of episode one, you watch episode two
right away and it gives you a recap of what
you just watched, Like, yeah, I don't they give you
the option to watch like it all the way through
without any breaks and just being like because there's a
lot of at least this time. Note I give them
props is that Disney Plus didn't hit last year when
they had the skip intro thing. It would still go
(42:47):
into the and or.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah, you're getting a little bit better.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
That and or reveal. I counted as thirty seconds with
it just just the title of card title card. Now
it gives it to you. It actually keeps it to
the end. So it does all the Star Wars stuff
with the little and all the pops and heads and
stuff like that, and.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
They're slowly getting better. I'm like, you have all of
the I P in the world. Why does your streaming
service not work super well?
Speaker 1 (43:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Oh, and you can finally remove things from your row
of continued watching, thank you.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
There's been sometimes where I've looked at things just because
I wanted to like check something out on it, and
then it was still sitting. I'm like, I gotta watch watch,
so I accidentally.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Clicked on it. It's like, wait a second, but already okay,
yay thunderbolts.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yay thunderbolts. And that's what we'll be talking about next week,
is we're review in comparison. So until then, remember two
things be excellent to each other, and never judge a
book by its movie.

Right now on source pages, we are getting hyped and
set up for the Thunderbolts movie, which comes out this Friday,
and we are reading the twenty eighteen Jefflimeir run of
Century to figure out who this character is if you
don't know. But first.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We'll be right back. Yeah, it's time for the podcast
(00:39):
Welcome Back my Fellow. Some things, there's not even really
a good welcome back for this Century episode. I'm Haley Hobbs.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I'm Bob. That's what I was gonna say. I was
gonna say, welcome back my fellow. Bob's just because.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hello Century family members.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
There we go, fellow tripolar rights or would you be
considered having try polar tripolar disorder or it's a disassociated
thing because it's actually a physical manifestation.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So well it's like, yeah, it's built of his thought.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah. But by the way, I'm Brian b Kleines, not Bob.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I thought you were Bob.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
No, I was, I could be Bob, couldn't I could?
I can the clarinet anyways.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I don't know what that's a reference to.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It's a friend's reference where they're like you were you
when they were being loud and their neighbor came up.
It's like, you're you're interrupting my clarinet practice. I don't
play the clarinet. No, okay, I can play the clear
It's when they Barcela gets lost the monkey and he's like,
I can own a monkey. Anyways.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Where it's a Monday and it's a mess, and we
read comics and novels as primers for geeky TV shows
and movies like Thunderbolts, which is it's hard to believe
that this is Thunderbolts week, but damn here we are.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, and so far like the people that have seen
it already that are fans saying that it's incredible and
that the post credit scene sets a lot of crap
up and it's bonkers. So because there's a mid credit
and post credit and yeah, I'm going to the movies.
I went to the movies on Friday and Saturday went
and saw Revenge of the Sith in the theaters again,
(02:21):
which I guess a lot of people did because it
finished number two at the box office.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I know my theater was like the all of the
upper half, like nobody wanted to be down right by
the screen. All of the upper half was full when
I went Friday night too, so we went.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The same thing here. There was one empty seat in
the theater we went to. And the kind of disappointing
thing though, was is when uh Anakin, you know, Master Anakin,
you have to sty theaters and then as soon as
he lights his lightsaber, a bunch of people cheered, were like,
what is wrong with you people?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I am happy to report that my theater did not
share it that scene.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
They didn't share it. I still always every time, matter
if I'm watching it at home or in the theaters,
when they do the montage with montage like Kiadi Monday
with his clones and the Order sixty six thing, I
get like, I get like, like there's tiny ninjas cutting
(03:17):
up onions around there because.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's just like, man, it's so set. I teared up.
It's the Obi Wan and Anakin stuff. At the end
of the I I did have a bad person moment,
like and it's not anything against Natalie Portman, but when
she's like, you're breaking my heart, like it does make
me giggle, like just.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They basically did hear dirty. She basically became a Mary
Sue in that movie pretty much.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I mean, we won't get into that, but it's it's
a whole thing, and just her delivery of that line.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I'm always like, like I said, I love I love
the prequels. But if they would have had a not
yes man, no Wrick McCallum would have had a little
bit of a script doctoring to that, they could have
punched some of the things up. The die. The storyline
itself was awesome, it's just the dialogue. A lot of
the stuff is that it was not the greatest, but
(04:07):
I still love them. And my gator.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Applauded at the end of it, which I thought was
really cute.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh yeah, especially when they did this. Our theater broke
into like thunderous applause.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
When we here in Wichita were very demure apparently, but
after first off, I said, at both times when Anakin
or when obi Wan shows up at the brew homestead
and gives the butler's homestead and gives but I'm also thinking,
like the part did he call ahead to say, hey,
by the way, I'm bringing you a child.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
He must have sent them a hollow to be like, okay, hey,
because they weren't surprised.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
No, but when she when she turns around and you
just see Owen standing there with his hands on his
hip and the one leg up into binary sunset our
place erupted into applause.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's cute, and it was like, yes, maybe Edgerton.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Which, by the way, the bookends of the first line
said in a New Hope was C three po saying
did you hear that? And then his last line was
in the last line he had in Revenge of the
Sith was the last line in the prequel trilogy when
after bail Organa says and have the protocol minds protocol
(05:25):
Droid's mind wiped and he goes like what yeah. But
then at the end of Rise of Skywalker, the last
line was C three po saying did you hear that?
So actually, for the Skywalker Sager, it starts with him
saying did you hear that? It ends with did you
hear that?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Cute?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And not to go too much into anymore Star Wars
because this is our century primer. How eppen Good was
the first three episodes of.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And Or extremely aughing Good like it was.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Just it works. I love the way that they're doing
this now, even though you are watching it two and
a half hour move and this one did set up
a lot of a lot of stuff we had to
remember from season one, like the whatever the brigade, the
brigade was that was on Yeavin, that were a bunch
of bumps, Pie Maya Pie last year when if you
(06:17):
remember in season one when Saw and Lutheran we're talking
about letting one like Kreeger's group go and he mentions
Maya Pie, and so I was like, I don't want
to work with those bunch.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Of idiots, and damn they were idiots.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They were idiots. I mean it was just so.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Ifian hated them, we hated them. Everybody hates them.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No, but it also hands a lot of they pulled.
Star Wars has the way of something being so even
at the beginning when uh, He's sitting there realizing he's
taking this tie Avenger and he realizes I don't have
the layout for this, and then the first maneuver it
does is it slams back into the back and I happened.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The humor really good.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
The lebedie and just like Genevie will Riley, Oh my god,
she right now already should have a nomination for Best
Actress in the Drama for mon Mothwait, just for those
her facial express it's more than anything. Is just yeah,
and I even just too seeing just like not getting
too much. But I can't remember her name. I'll always
(07:21):
miss Belinda Chandra when she showed up at the end
of and was just like, I'm like, I already knew him,
like yeah, and that dude's dead. He's dead, and.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Sees him talking to him on He's like, yeah, you're out,
You're on the list.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, and then he's just like and with him being
a sad sack and stuff like that, being like I
got nothing to lose, I might just.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Sort of was messy, like sloppy out there. Oh yeah,
can't be having that.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
At least they did. I'm glad they mentioned the fact
that he was like drunk and hungover and stuff, but
they didn't show him being an idiot.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I mean for him being like, hey, mom, the rebellions
messing up my investments at a decibel unnecessary at the party.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, But then mon was just like, after I was
said and done, was like, you know what, screw it,
took a couple of shots and then danced like no
one was watching, and it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
We've all been there.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, so all right, enough Star Wars talk. I'm trying
to think what else we there was. There was not
much going on else going on.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Ian saw Sinners and it was really really good.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So was it good?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I suggest the.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I've heard good things about it. It also had the
second lowest second week declined like it only declined like
ten percent.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, I saw that on Box Office Mojo. It's at
my theater was pretty full for that too, and that
was like a four o'clock on Saturday showing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So I'm still so the theater. We went and saw Revenge
of the Sith on Friday night. They couldn't show it
in the Adobe Theater because The Accountant Too was playing in.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The Oh my god, I couldn't see it in my
twenty one and over theater, and I was like, are
you serious? I have to be with these peasants like
I can't, but I want all these other movies that
are out right now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Is super commol Well that's the thing too, is though
Revenge of the Sith our theater. It was getting near
the end of the the previews and I had to
go to the bathroom, so I ran into the bathroom
and then on my way back the Adobe theaters right
there so I walked in and looked into this nicety
and there was like seven people there, and I'm like,
there's one hundred and something watching. What does that make
(09:25):
sense with this?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And I'm sure it's like, oh, we have so many
R rated movies. I have to take precedence or something.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No, And here's the thing is, though, all the forty
X theaters around us right now, you know what, they're
playing Revenge of the Sith because it's the best way
to get people in to see the movie. Okay, enough,
ranking now.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I have just one more thing about Revenge of this
There was a tweet I saw that was like from
the moment like Padme and Anakin have their like, you know,
force connection thing across of Corussant. You know, people are
like locked in and just like watch and that was
It's one hundred percent true. Everybody had already gone to
the bathroom if they needed to, they had already gotten back.
(10:04):
Like everybody was just there for the last half of them,
and nobody left, and nobody moved and nobody made like
talked at all. It was so it was such a
singular experience. It was very different than my Phantom Menace
we release experience.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
There was one scene and I never noticed this, and
then one of the guys that went with us, Gunner,
was just like, watch the scene when he's at Mussafar
and he pulls his cloak down, he's got two human hands.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, the reality shattered.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
But here's the thing too, is that there's also a
scene in this comic when Billy, when he's holding that
mind control thing that he gave to the other dude,
he's holding it with two hands. I'm looking, I'm like,
catch it. Why did they write? Wait a second, he shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Anyways, Okay, we'll get into it. So anyways, maybe we
will be talking about this comic longer than No.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's a straight lung, you know, straight ahead fun. It
gives you a fully full idea of who Century is
and what he is capable of. This has always been
what Century is. You've got Bob, You've got the Void,
and you've got Century. Who are not It's not like
doctor Heckel and mister doctor Jekyll and mister Hyde, doctor Hechtel,
(11:21):
doctor Heck. Yeah, that's right, it is three different. He
could make himself three entities in the same place. Right,
So with the if Century is there? The Void is
there too?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Correct, It's based all manifestation of Bob basically, right, it's
all Bob Reynolds ab Yeah. So before well, okay, so
we're doing Century from twenty eighteen issues one through five.
It's called Century World and it was written by a
personal favorite of the cast, Jeff Lemire, who succeeds at
(11:55):
writing mind bending things. Artwork was by Kim Hasento, colors
by Rain Burreto, and letters by VC's Travis Lanham. And
the setup before these episodes, these episode I'm turning into you.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
These issues, is.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That like to save the world from Century and void,
well really from void the Avengers like make well Reynolds.
Bob Reynolds makes this sacrifice his mechanical servant clock c
l O c read Richard's and Doctor Strange erase his erase. No,
(12:33):
this is a different something happens in the Doctor Strange
run before this, which I think is Jason Aaron's Doctor
Strange run. And to save it's the same thing as
what I was gonna read, uh, to save the world
from the Void, because if Centuries there, the Void is
as well. They basically give Bob Brynolds this device to
create a pocket dimension in his mind, which sounds pretty
(12:55):
rad and today would have been really nice to have
as a human being, to keep them there so that
he can live his life on the outside is just
Bob Reynolds and Centry and Void exists in this pocket dimension.
So I feel like going.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
In, he has to be he has to become Century
every so often because other way he has to release
that part of him because he can't let it build up,
as seems.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Like, so that I feel like you need to know
that set up before we start.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And he sort of allude to it a lot because
he has that wristwatch and he's like, I gotta get
back to whatever, just get back into Century world.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So so Bob Reynolds is living with the memory of
being Sentry and the Void, and we see him then
diving in as Century, battling voids, Shadow Army and his
his companions Scout which is another human watchdog, a dog
and Centrists are helping him and basically he's trying to
find Void and he's like he's on the moon and
(13:52):
he punches the moon in half, which is really bad.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
He's on the moon, He's in the moon.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
He'sa get void it's crazy and that seems like a
bad thing. But Scout's like, uh, what are we gonna
do without a moon? And Century's like, don't worry. The
moon is already repairing itself and I have to go.
And that's where we see that he's just been in
this pocket dimension the whole time, doing his required hour
of being Century for the day basically, and that's the device,
(14:20):
the conflictor.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
That almost made it seem like it was like a
Saturday morning serial thing the old movies with like Flash Gordon, like,
here's Century, Bob Reynolds is here with his buddy Scout
and Watchdog and t and yeah, you know it'd be
very weird. They did have that Golden Age look to
their costumes and stuff too.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, since it's all a construct in his mind, it
can be whatever he wants. So he returns back to
the present in his mind with the use of the
conflictor from Doctor Strange and Tony Stark, and he goes
to work at a diner where Billy, who is Scout,
also works and so they're like line cooks essentially, and
Billy's missing his left arm.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And the first picture you really see of like Bob
after this is. He's just sitting there with like no
shirt on, his gut hanging out.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He's got a beard.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, he's just sitting there just like oh yeah. He
definitely is like a line cook looking gut. H Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It looks nothing like Lewis Pullman in Thunderbolts. So during
a break from work, Billy tells Bob there's a lot
of bees in this so I'm sorry if they pop
on my microphone. Billy tells Bob he wishes that there
was a way for him to also be in the
Pocket dimension, but Bob reminds him that that's impossible and
it would also defeat the purpose of him keeping Sentry
(15:40):
and Voids separate from the real world to keep everybody safe,
which is what he's trying to do. So then Bob
is walking home after his shift at the diner. It's
time for him to get home and check in for
his daily trip through the Confluctor, and he gets like
cornered in an alley by Misty Night and agents from
the Adberrant Crimes Division that he CD which we got
(16:01):
a reference to I believe in Daredevil recently. So they
corner him about sticking to a schedule and He's like, well,
I'm trying to get home, but the dynamic is set
up that Misty trusts Bob but very few others do
in the hero world. So he enters his apartment to
(16:21):
do his time and which is basically what it is,
and he discovers that somebody has broken in and stolen
the conflector. So back in Century World, Scout and Watchdog
are awaiting his entry. Century's entry and someone does show up,
but it's not who they're expecting. An issue too. We're
(16:42):
still in the Pocket dimension and Centrist is trying to
make contact with Clock cloc which is it looks like
the eye of Sauron in this but it's like this
Overwatch type thing. So she's trying to get Clock to
locate Century, Scout or Watchdog basically anybody but Clock has
been destroyed by CRANIOH yeah, greatest nemesis and Centrist in
(17:08):
the Pocket dimension is Jenny, who is the waitress or
owner of the diner that Billy and Bob work at,
Billy Batt Billy. But I know it's as I was timing,
and I was like, this is ridiculous. So Cranio has
quote murdered Scout and watchdog. Can you murder a thought?
I don't know. But he tells Centrist before he tries
(17:30):
to kill her that she's nothing but a thought anyway,
which she refuses to believe. She's like, no, I'm real
and he's like, no, you're not. And Cranio, because he's
in the Pocket Dimension, believes that he rules Century's mind.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
So it's just because we found that. It's basically just
the world is a place in Centry's mind. But that's yeah,
it's a physical thing. It's not like you're in there
and can control the mind. It's just where the it's
where basically where the pocket dimension is.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, it's just it's just like a little in his
mind palace. It's one of the little doors unlocked, basically.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So Bob is frantic and he runs to the diner
for help from Billy, and he tells Billy he's already
tried contacting doctors Strange and Tony Stark. And here's where
we start to hate Billy, because Billy's like, eh, what
do you mean you called them instead of me? Like,
I see how it is, bro, And I'm like, listen,
you little bitch. First of all, and then he turns
(18:26):
and he's like, well, you should have come to me first,
but I actually can't help you, but maybe if you
let me be part of this from the start. And
it's like, listen, Billy, take a hike with your bs
and go to therapy like everybody needs to because this
is ridiculous and you are useless. And then he walks away.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It wasn't doctor. He tried to get doctor Strange to
help him, but he was in some other dimensional.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Interdimensional something and Tony just it kept going to voicemail.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Tony wouldn't answer his call. Yeah, And the whole time
Billy's being this is little Liner going like, oh, I
understand that this life here in the real world sucks.
Like they don't really explain how he lost his arm,
but I'm assuming that.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
They do eventually.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
But it's just like, it's not like Bob, Bob is
they have fun. He's doing this to not like kill
the world.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
No, it's literally the little kid be like being a
grown up seems like fun. And then they become a
grown up and they're like, oh, actually it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Bob is like whatever and tries to call Tony again,
but then is arrested by the ACD because he's missed
his window, and they put him in a bunker six
miles underground, which is a significant amount of space. And
Tony's there because Missy called him in and Bob now
it's Bob's turn to blame, and he blames Tony for
(19:45):
not answering his calls, and Tony's like, dude, I can't
always answer your calls, Like, we have to talk about this,
and so they discuss the complexity of the situation, and
Bob starts to talk about how he feels like his
whole life is a compromise because if he does one thing,
it hurts people. If he does another thing, it's also
hurting people, like with Billy. So then out of nowhere,
he becomes Sentry and Tony's like Bob and he's like,
(20:08):
I'm not Bob anymore, Like it's very traumatic. I don't
know what I am. And we switch views and Bob
is in Bob the Person person, Beer gut Diner Cook.
Bob is in the Pocket dimension and Century's on the
outside with Tony. And so when Bob is in the
Century world, he sees Cranio actually kill centrists and he's
(20:28):
not happy about that. No, then we get to Billy
the Bitch and he's leaving work and comes home and
he's like, Hey, I'm home, and you're like, who's Billy
talking to? Oh? Just Cranio with a conflictor on his
head looking all kinds of wigged out while he's in
Century world and Billy's does his evil villain monologue and
his plot is to become the new Sentry.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, that whole part where they showed Cranio. I'm like,
is he like a vegetable now or we never saw
really bob in with the because it's basically it's almost
like he puts this headset VR type thing on in
order to go into the world, and you're not really
it's it reminds me of a few like anime is
(21:14):
like sort out our line or saying your la frontier is.
It's immersive. It's basically immersive virtual reality. When you're in it,
you're unaware of what's going on in the real world.
You're pretty much like asleep, and so you have all
your controls and thoughts are and you know who you
are inside this world. But could you imagine if could
you imagine what would happen if Century would put this
(21:34):
thing on and realize he goes in there and sees
Bob because it's just like where is how how did
why did they have to switch places? Why did real
Bob go back in the century world?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
When manipulating the situation, its a little unclear because how
how do they switch? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It's almost like there needs to be a point where
all three of them exist in some form or which
is otherwise you know, it's just like one has to
be one place, one has to be another, and then
you know, because it's usually Bob is in the real
world and then Century and the Void are in uh
century world, which I don't know if like if that's
always the case when he's gone, like uh, Scout and
(22:20):
Watchdog whatever are like what are we doing when you're gone?
Like they never explained what happens when he's not there.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I think that it's just the Bob is thinking about
these things because he's just going there in his mind anyway. Okay,
so yeah, it's it's a mind trip.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
It could be like Mortis. It could be like Mortis
that when they come back to the real world Rex
Is like you were gone like for blip, like.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Before days plane, like what Bob knows when he comes back.
I took it that he he remembers what happens when he's.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, I think Bob's fully aware of it. It's just
the thoughts in his head that are aware when he
comes back what they're doing for that. It's always like.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You probably haven't watched Severance, but it's kind of like that, okay,
where like your severed part only always sees this work place,
and then you're outside one sees every you know, your
outside world. It's kind of like that. Okay, So that
was issue too. Issue three we do a timeline montage thing.
(23:24):
So six weeks ago, Billy tracked down Cranio, who's working
as a parking attendant because he's been let out of
the raft on good behavior, and Billy begins to put
his plan in motion. He plays on Cranio's ego, reminding
himself that he was the man with the tri level mind.
He knew too much and he was always three steps
ahead of century. And Cranio is like, yeah, this is
(23:45):
working on me. This is where we learned that Billy
lost his left arm to the void. Yes, And then
he explains how Bob is keeping sentry and the void
at Bay with doctor Strange and Tony Stark's hell. And
so Billy's frustration is that Bob has the ability to
escape quote unquote from reality. And you get Billy like,
(24:10):
you get his point, like he's lost a part of
himself and he's stuck in this real world now being
just who he is. But you also when you look
at what Bob has to go there, it's like, was
it really an escape when it's like scheduled time and
you have to go to this like mental prison constructed
for you? I don't know. So that's when Billy asks
(24:31):
Cranio to replicate the golden sentry serum that doctor Cornelius
made and that is what originally gave Bob his sentry powers.
Cranio declares it impossible, but Billy's like, oh, but what
if you have Cornelius's personal notes? And I just have
to feel like he said it like that, here you go, oh,
I just happened to have. Yeah, scam them off his
(24:54):
grand niece, who was very kind to a one armed,
blue eyed, blonde haired Strange, like, Billy, you're the worst.
So Craniy agrees, and they go to his storage unit
to get his old helmet that helps him use his
mentally enhanced powers. And there's this little exchange about his
helmet had three brains in it, and Billy's like, always
(25:15):
thought those were your brains. He's like, no, they're just
monkey brains and from Hyde. But I do need the
helmet to help me.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, it's like they're for show, but the helmet really works.
But it's otherwise they'd be like, why are you wearing
a helmet?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It is a cool looking helmet, yeah, to be fair,
but so it's been so long that he has had
it on. He inadvertently travels into Billy's mind and this
really sets Billy off. He gets very violent with Craneo
and he's like, don't ever do that again, and Cranio
is like, dude, I'm sorry, didn't actually mean to him.
I'm not bad, my bad. I kind of feel that
for Cranio.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
By the end of this, he's definitely manipulated big time.
But yeah, he's he really still a bad guy. He
looks like he's trying to do right, but then it's
also just like, okay, but you're still a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah I know, but yeah. So more montage, Billy goes
to work with Bob at the diner every day being
a deceitful pos while Cranio works to replicate the serum,
which he does successfully, but he warns Billy that it
hasn't been tested and right when this happens, Billy also
breaks into Bob's apartment and steals the conflictor. So the
(26:21):
red flag part is that Billy promises to protect Cranio
if he'll be the one to go into Bob's pocket
dimension and kill him so that Century and Void are
also destroyed, and Craney is like, really you'll protect me, Okay,
I'm like, oh honey, no.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, broken promises, you know, are always like.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Manipulator. So then we're caught up to our timeline in
the comics, and Cranio tells Billy that he saw Bob
in Century World, not Century So Billy takes this to
me that Century is now loose, and I assume they're
in New York City and he of the golden serum
in him and it works. Stunt undone uh. Issue four
(27:07):
is pretty short. Synopsis.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
The penultimate issue.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Billy sends Cranio back into Century World while he goes
to find a century back in the bunker or what yeah,
back in the bunker. Century tries to tell Tony that
he needs to get back to Century world to take
care of Cranio, and Tony tries to stop him, which
doesn't go well, and he busts out of the six
mile underground bunker like it's no problem, because that gives
(27:32):
you an idea of how powerful Century is.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
The Century is pretty much like He's also the equivalent.
There is a character called Hyperion in Marble, which is
literally the Marble version of Superman, which is why it
was funny when Henry Cavill was being rumored to play Hyperion,
and it's like, well that really well, Century is like
Century has like this super like when he it's like
(27:56):
he's opop.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Plus he has the void.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So he escapes and Tony's like, well, crap, now I
gotta go deal with this, and he first he suites
up as Iron Man, and he's like, actually, I think
I need a little extra So he does puts the
Hulkbuster armor on top of his regular Iron Man suit,
and Miss He's like okay, bye, and that's the end
of her in the story. So they're like fighting whatever,
(28:23):
and it's just kind of whatever. Billy shows up with
his sentry power, and Bob's like, what the heck did
you do? You need to reverse this and Billy's like, no,
I'm limited power to reference Revenge of this Sith one
more time. And meanwhile, Bob is still in Century World
and he meets the Void and he's like, hey, I
(28:43):
think I need your help. And now Billy and Iron
Man are fighting, so there's a lot going on, and
Bob decides he has this like inner monologue where he's like,
I've been fighting these two sides of myself and what
if I didn't? What if I stopped fighting? What if
I just accepted myself. It's really sweet, and he merges
with Century and the Void to become something new, and
(29:07):
it's like Emo Century with long black hair and a
red suit.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, it's pretty much like. It reminds me a lot
of Adam Warlock with the Magis where he Adam Warlock
is the the center, corporeal, regular person. He has powers
and stuff, but then he also is like in order
for him, this is way back in the Infinity Gaudlet saga.
(29:32):
What He's the one that basically destroys That's why I
one thought Adam Warlock was going to show up in
Infinity War because he was such a pertinent part. But
he takes out his bad side and his good side,
all his thoughts, so we could be neutral to stay that.
But then the magis is the bad version of it,
and then I forgot who the person that was is
(29:53):
powerful and all thought like like the good side, but
she ends up turning into like a cult leader.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Oh Eve Warlock.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, it was just like and then so basically in
the net run, it was just like at the end,
he goes, yeah, I need to bring it all my
stuff back together because I can't have a good side
in the band side out there, and it's I need
to just be me.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It's me, myself and I.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's the that's all three of them, Me myself and I, Bob,
Sentry and Void. We are now one. Why do we
have black hair? It doesn't matter. It's just a new look.
So issue five, the last issue, Billy just goes absolutely
berserk and starts attacking the new Sentry very quickly. You're like, oh, no, Billy,
you cute little thing like nice try he just grabs
(30:44):
his like right hand because this yeah, you're right. At
one point he does have two arms, but he doesn't
throw the rest of the run, he like breaks all
of his fingers and he just he just like shoves
him down and it gets kind of gnarly. So he
ends up like turning back into just Bob, but he's
got the void around them, so it's dark and only
(31:07):
you can only see the two of them talking, and
Billy's like, I took this serum, but it's like it's burning.
It's burning me from the inside out. And Bob's like, yeah,
I'll do that, and then he's like, let me help
you just pulls his face apart. I don't know what
the point of that was. But then so Billy's dead.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That was let me help you.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Kill Santry assisted you know what a lack and Tony
the void he turns back into New Century. I'm gonna
call him, and Tony's like, oh my god, like Bob,
what have you done? And Bob's like, I have found myself.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, it gets a little like I love it.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
It's like, no, I'm at peace with myself. This is
who I am. And Tony's like, oh, okay, well, if
that's the case, here's the rest of the Avengers, and
it's you know, it's like Cap and Thor and She
Hulk and Captain Marple are some of the ones that
are there, and they're like listen, bro, like you can't
do this, and he's like, oh yeah, watch me. They fight,
(32:18):
but not really because he just overpowers all of them,
but he doesn't really try to hurt them, not like
he did to Billy.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And yeah, he's definitely it's the best. Basically like the
Civil War airport scene where there's fighting, everyone's pulling punches
because everybody we don't want to hurt each other really,
but because we're still friends, but we're on different sides
right now.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
And don't forget about Cranio, because he comes back, but
he's he's just like his normal self. He doesn't have
all anyway. So he enters a battle and distract Century,
and then he takes them both to the mind prisons,
so now they're the mind prison is kind of what
I called it by the end here because that's what
it is. But again, people are underestimating Century's new powers
(33:03):
and he's just like, oh yeah, and he just squishes
his helmets with the brains in it, which causes him
to return back to reality. And that's kind of that.
That's kind of the end of that, Jenny from the Diner,
who was centrist in Bob's mind palace, She's like, what
the hell is wrong with you? You killed Billy, you
killed these people. I don't want anything to do with you.
(33:24):
And he's like, maybe in another time, at another place,
we could have been something. I'm like, you are delusional.
She's like, no, thank you, get out.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, like what could have been was nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And so it ends just with the Century, the Century,
the Avengers and Century kind of standing off, but really
them having a discussion that is like, you know you
can't He says, you know you can't beat me, and
you know you can't beat me, and they're like, well
what should we do? And he's like, you'll just have
to trust me. And when it ends, I think it's
Jennifer Walters that is like, well, is he on our
(34:00):
side or not? And I think it's Cap that's like,
I guess we'll find out. So it was a good run.
I really liked it, very enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I did too, And at the end of reading it, though,
I sat there and I go the first thought first
thought was how the hell is this tying the Secret Wars?
And then I go, oh, wait, we're not doing Secret
Wars Wars content. But it was like, yeah, it's good.
It's definitely a good primer for just knowing what Bob century.
(34:31):
I'm assuming that the big bad in Thunderbolts is going
to be Void for the Void, So it's because and
but I'm also thinking because there's times too where you
see Centry in some of the shots and it's just
like him being sort of like, you know what, It's
almost some of the things almost remind me a little
(34:54):
bit of Anakin, where it's like, if you're not with me,
then you're against me. He's trying to be p magmatic,
but he's also being absolute where it's just like there's
no middle, You're like my way, it's my way or
the highway. And you know, I'll know that because they
even mentioned it how many times in the trailer where
Elena is like, none of us really have powers, none
of us can fly.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Right well, and she says he's more powerful than all
the Avengers together. So I think they're setting us up
for this. You're gonna have to trust me kind of
come to terms, saying by the end of the movie,
which is really the only way you can end that
movie unlessly unless they do something like with the Pocket
Dimension or something like that.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
So I think that they would be definitely not going
to kill off the character of No Century because he's
going to be needed for Doomsday. I am going to
say this too, where I've saw the trailer a bunch
of times again because of it was in front of
the Avens. Yes, the editing when he comes to when
(35:54):
Red Guardian says we're the Thunderbolts, and Bucky goes, you
can't call us, I guarantee you. Somebody says we're the
New Avengers. It's not it's a cut because he's like,
you can't call us the New Avengers, and then he says,
we're the Thunderbolts. It's not like there's no reason why
(36:15):
you can't be called the Thunderbolts.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Could be unless it's like, you can't call us that
because Thunderbolt Ross is in the raft for being a
red hole, aout something, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, because at right this point, really Thunderbolts Ross has
nothing to do with the Thunderbolts. It's all ah Yeahlen's
character theme.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Oh, val Elene, And I was like, that's her.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Name, Elaine from Seinfeld.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Val Well I don't know. I mean, unless she has
a directive to try to make a team, but it
really seems like Bucky has put this team together from
the trailers. Yeah, I'm just so excited. I'm seeing it
on Friday morning.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I'm seeing it Saturday late afternoon, so because that's I
have to stay away from the spoilers. And I think
when is the Red carpet tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It must be right London won last week.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Yeah, and that's where I'm seeing a lot of the
people that were saying that it's funny that a bunch
of the people in the Stranded Panda group have already
seen it too, so I.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Could probably see it earlier than I am, but I'm
waiting to see it with mister, So I don't know.
I think that we've talked about this a lot on
Multiverse News, But I think that Marvel is trying to
figure out how to market these movies differently because they
know they have to. They just they just don't know
(37:51):
how yet. And so maybe, like earlier screenings, trying to
pump up the excitement, uh is one of their strategies
that would make sense to me. I think they really
want this one to do well. Especially in front of
Fantastic four.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Right because that's all we have right now. We just
had Daredevil finish off and it really had absolutely no
tie whatsoever to the existing MCU, which is fine, which
is fine, but it's also but that's probably a good
thing too, where it's like going into Thunderbolts. Really all
you need to see is some of the previous movies.
(38:29):
There's not a lot to do with maybe John Walker
with Captain or Falcon and Aware Soldier, but everything else
is Black Widow.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
At the top. That's why we're only doing a primer
for Century because most of us already know these other characters.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, everyone else, task Master, you know Black Widow.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
And we've seen them, we know them.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Ghosts is finally making a comeback, and she seems like
she's fully stable, not like I get out.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah I'm excited, Yes, me too. It's my most anticipated movie,
so don't let me down. I don't think they will.
Did you see that Florence Pew did that stunt herself?
Or she walks off the building? It's crazy, Oh good
for her.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Has she been in any Tom Cruise movies lately? And
just like.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
He's going to she was like, no, you're gonna let
me do this, so Tom Cruise puts me in a movie. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I still think of that scene where he was talking
about in one of the Mission Impossibles where he's got
to jump across the built the op the gap and
he's supposed to land on the end and then but
he landed too hard. He smacked his leg against the
top and they broke it. And you see it and
it's like, oh, you could hear it leg breaking. But
he's almost just like it's like, you can't. You can't
(39:44):
do this three hundred feet in the air. You're a
multi million dollar actor for like, like.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
My favorite one to me get read Matt Damon telling
the story. They were like a dinner party and Tom
Cruise was telling him the story about something. He's like, so,
you know, I have to my safety guy, but what
I want to do and my safety guys like you
can't do that the way Matt David told me stor
like Tom Cruise goes, so I got a new safety guy.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
New safety guy. Yeah, he's I mean, you.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Just let Tom Cruise cook. That's all there is to it.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, she like fought to do her own stunt there.
So pretty cool, pretty pretty.
Speaker 1 (40:25):

the by Frost a mighty thor where this week Ryan
(41:07):
has actual real thor On probably knowing other people he
gets sleepy.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
He has. I was listening today. His episode is somebody
that did props on the first thor movie. Well, there
you go, Doug Brody I think was his name. So yeah, very.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Cool, cool, Dannen have questions. Their latest episode was them
talking about the nineteen eighty four Dune movie and it's
pretty nice, hilarious and got some good takes on that
commute the podcast Segabits, which the Segabits one is run
by my friend Barry, who was actually in Japan for celebration,
(41:42):
so he got to see and do a whole bunch
of Sega stuff because that's where they're from, and he's like,
it's crazy over there. My Tales from the Cantita Rebel
Forest Radio presents the Babu Freaks, Jack Kirby, So Weird,
so fun. And the Star Wars Yo Universe, which is
hosted by our own James Yoda Hugh Hewings and it's
his podcast thing about Star Wars in your everyday life.
(42:07):
So that's it. So yeah, so by the next time
we talk, we'll have seen Thunderbolts, we'll have seen another
and or movie which I'm just calling him the movie.
It's the movie Star Wars movie of the Week. Now,
it's two and a half hours of just I hope
that what they do is because it's funny, is that
(42:27):
at the end of episode one, you watch episode two
right away and it gives you a recap of what
you just watched, Like, yeah, I don't they give you
the option to watch like it all the way through
without any breaks and just being like because there's a
lot of at least this time. Note I give them
props is that Disney Plus didn't hit last year when
they had the skip intro thing. It would still go
(42:47):
into the and or.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah, you're getting a little bit better.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
That and or reveal. I counted as thirty seconds with
it just just the title of card title card. Now
it gives it to you. It actually keeps it to
the end. So it does all the Star Wars stuff
with the little and all the pops and heads and
stuff like that, and.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
They're slowly getting better. I'm like, you have all of
the I P in the world. Why does your streaming
service not work super well?
Speaker 1 (43:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Oh, and you can finally remove things from your row
of continued watching, thank you.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
There's been sometimes where I've looked at things just because
I wanted to like check something out on it, and
then it was still sitting. I'm like, I gotta watch watch,
so I accidentally.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Clicked on it. It's like, wait a second, but already okay,
yay thunderbolts.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yay thunderbolts. And that's what we'll be talking about next week,

book by its movie.
