3
00:00:10,664 --> 00:00:13,576
Belmont, and with me, as always, is our Mr. Producer, Will Polk
4
00:00:13,608 --> 00:00:14,840
How are you doing tonight, Will?
5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,720
>> Will: Doing very well, Sarah. How you doing this Thursday evening?
6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,414
>> Sarah : I'm, doing all right. I'm here.
7
00:00:20,582 --> 00:00:23,502
>> Will: Yeah, I'm here as well. Looking forward to talking some
8
00:00:23,606 --> 00:00:25,982
Daredevil Born Again penultimate episode with you
9
00:00:26,006 --> 00:00:26,690
tonight.
10
00:00:27,310 --> 00:00:30,070
>> Sarah : Yep, yep, we will be talking about that.
11
00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:30,640
>> Will: Yeah.
12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,444
>> Sarah : but first we have to go through
13
00:00:33,532 --> 00:00:36,076
some of these headlines, which
14
00:00:36,148 --> 00:00:38,972
include that the Last of Us has been
15
00:00:38,996 --> 00:00:41,160
officially renewed for a third season.
16
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:44,210
I, I'm so shocked.
17
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:51,150
I, I, I, like, this is
18
00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:54,076
one of the headlines that I just mock because
19
00:00:54,148 --> 00:00:56,796
I'm like, why do I feel like that's already
20
00:00:56,868 --> 00:00:59,420
been, like, happened
21
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,492
or why that's already, that seed has
22
00:01:02,516 --> 00:01:05,148
been planted? Because I
23
00:01:05,204 --> 00:01:07,852
felt like coming off of the first season, a lot of the
24
00:01:07,876 --> 00:01:10,700
discussion was there's no way they can do the
25
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:13,580
second game in one season. And I
26
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:16,588
feel like we were told they're gonna stretch this
27
00:01:16,644 --> 00:01:18,892
across four seasons in total.
28
00:01:19,076 --> 00:01:21,902
>> Will: Yeah, I think, yeah, that's, I remember
29
00:01:21,966 --> 00:01:24,748
that, being, yeah, it was gonna be a four season thing,
30
00:01:24,804 --> 00:01:27,420
but I guess, you know, it was one of those things too. But they never
31
00:01:27,460 --> 00:01:30,204
officially like, approved the third season.
32
00:01:30,292 --> 00:01:30,540
>> Sarah : Right.
33
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:33,532
>> Will: Even though, but, but at least we got it. You know, it's the
34
00:01:33,556 --> 00:01:36,380
little thing that most series do
35
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:39,196
this these days anyway, with shows
36
00:01:39,228 --> 00:01:42,222
that, that we know are going to be like,
37
00:01:42,326 --> 00:01:44,730
are clear hits and so
38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,424
we got the word.
39
00:01:46,552 --> 00:01:49,352
>> Sarah : Yeah, well, yes and no. I
40
00:01:49,376 --> 00:01:52,312
mean, there's, there's been shows. Why do I feel like
41
00:01:52,336 --> 00:01:55,256
there was a recent show that got renewed for
42
00:01:55,328 --> 00:01:57,860
two seasons, like right away?
43
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,144
>> Will: Yeah. Oh, yeah, actually, the one
44
00:02:01,152 --> 00:02:03,902
we're going to talk about later tonight, also, Spider man, your
45
00:02:03,926 --> 00:02:06,784
friendly neighborhood Spider man got renewed before for, seasons
46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,488
two and three before, before it even aired. So it does
47
00:02:09,512 --> 00:02:12,226
happen. And Star Trek. Yeah, Star Trek.
48
00:02:12,306 --> 00:02:13,970
Strange New Worlds has done that also.
49
00:02:14,138 --> 00:02:17,074
>> Sarah : Yeah. And, and Daredevil got renewed for its second
50
00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:18,450
season before it premiered.
51
00:02:18,498 --> 00:02:19,826
>> Will: Yep, yep, yep.
52
00:02:19,906 --> 00:02:22,658
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. So, so why the
53
00:02:22,682 --> 00:02:25,006
last of us waited so long? I don't know
54
00:02:25,386 --> 00:02:28,226
exactly. Do they
55
00:02:28,266 --> 00:02:31,166
remember the numbers that they did during the first season?
56
00:02:31,866 --> 00:02:34,530
I think they should have picked up on this sooner,
57
00:02:34,578 --> 00:02:35,026
but.
58
00:02:35,146 --> 00:02:37,906
>> Will: Exactly. But hey, I'm looking, I'm looking forward to
59
00:02:37,946 --> 00:02:40,942
us starting talking about it next week. It's, it's here, it's
60
00:02:40,974 --> 00:02:42,558
finally here to Sunday night.
61
00:02:42,742 --> 00:02:45,636
>> Sarah : It is, it will, few more days, a few
62
00:02:45,676 --> 00:02:48,296
more hours. and then later in the
63
00:02:48,336 --> 00:02:51,336
summer, we will finally resume our
64
00:02:51,376 --> 00:02:54,104
peacemaker discussion with its
65
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,696
season two premiere on August
66
00:02:56,776 --> 00:02:57,796
21st.
67
00:02:58,256 --> 00:03:01,116
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. HBO this weekend I guess
68
00:03:01,456 --> 00:03:04,152
did their, I guess, second quarter sizzle
69
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:07,154
reel. And yeah, had a little, little teaser
70
00:03:07,170 --> 00:03:09,646
there with Peacemaker. So we got our first
71
00:03:10,266 --> 00:03:13,104
shots of of season two. So looking,
72
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,776
looking forward to that. And of course, I guess,
73
00:03:16,776 --> 00:03:19,680
I want to say I might be making this up or
74
00:03:19,688 --> 00:03:22,176
maybe I remember reading this somewhere some, some months back.
75
00:03:22,216 --> 00:03:25,162
But there is, I want to say there was an element of the
76
00:03:25,234 --> 00:03:27,962
upcoming Superman movie that is going to
77
00:03:28,034 --> 00:03:30,874
have a role in, in the second season
78
00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:33,910
of Peacemaker. So that's,
79
00:03:33,958 --> 00:03:36,886
that's why. Yeah, and that's why they're releasing it.
80
00:03:36,926 --> 00:03:39,814
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Didn't it didn't Soups
81
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:42,946
kind of show up at the end of Peacemaker One?
82
00:03:43,246 --> 00:03:46,150
yeah, Justice League kind of.
83
00:03:46,238 --> 00:03:48,438
>> Will: It was the D.C. e. The
84
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:51,328
DCEU. Justice League. Yeah, yeah, they all
85
00:03:51,352 --> 00:03:52,288
did. Yeah. Yeah.
86
00:03:52,352 --> 00:03:55,276
>> Sarah : Interesting. I, I,
87
00:03:55,316 --> 00:03:58,296
I'm just gonna put this out here right now. If
88
00:03:58,336 --> 00:04:01,000
anybody spoils the opening credit
89
00:04:01,048 --> 00:04:03,476
sequence of Peacemaker Season 2,
90
00:04:04,496 --> 00:04:06,040
plague on your house.
91
00:04:06,128 --> 00:04:07,944
>> Will: Okay, we riot.
92
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,080
>> Sarah : I, that is the one thing that shall
93
00:04:11,128 --> 00:04:13,944
not be spoiled until you turn on that
94
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,872
first episode. Okay, so, so I'm also
95
00:04:16,944 --> 00:04:19,304
talking to James Gunn here. You better not let
96
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,104
it scene of that be
97
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,920
leaked into any of these trailers
98
00:04:24,968 --> 00:04:27,916
or promotional stuff. No, no, because the
99
00:04:27,956 --> 00:04:30,732
anticipation for Peacemaker Season 2
100
00:04:30,804 --> 00:04:33,404
opening credit sequence. Come on.
101
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:36,412
>> Will: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
102
00:04:36,444 --> 00:04:39,084
We cannot have that spoiled at all.
103
00:04:39,220 --> 00:04:41,884
>> Sarah : No, no, it's, it was too
104
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:44,572
classic the first time and we know it's going to be
105
00:04:44,644 --> 00:04:47,416
something different, but man,
106
00:04:47,606 --> 00:04:50,382
all right. And that leads
107
00:04:50,414 --> 00:04:51,306
us to
108
00:04:53,136 --> 00:04:55,740
more rumors about Brad, Pitt's
109
00:04:55,772 --> 00:04:58,540
production company Plan B Entertainment is currently
110
00:04:58,612 --> 00:05:01,164
talking with the creators of Adolescence about a
111
00:05:01,204 --> 00:05:03,144
possible second season.
112
00:05:04,164 --> 00:05:05,944
What are your thoughts on this, Will?
113
00:05:06,324 --> 00:05:09,276
>> Will: I really hope they do not do this. I
114
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:11,996
mean it, it, you know, it was a limited
115
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:15,050
series. It's a, a solid
116
00:05:15,162 --> 00:05:17,992
story. the you know, the
117
00:05:18,048 --> 00:05:20,760
presidents, the co, presidents of Plan B
118
00:05:20,912 --> 00:05:23,596
did share that, when they were talking
119
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:25,692
with the director Philip
120
00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:28,666
Bartini. and also, you know, Stephen Graham also was
121
00:05:28,690 --> 00:05:31,504
the co, creator of the show. they
122
00:05:31,544 --> 00:05:34,416
were looking to do something. A
123
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,404
quote from the co President Gardner said that they were
124
00:05:37,444 --> 00:05:40,220
looking to widen the aperture, stay true to the,
125
00:05:40,372 --> 00:05:43,314
to the DNA and, and not be repetitive
126
00:05:43,394 --> 00:05:46,306
talking about season one. But
127
00:05:46,330 --> 00:05:49,170
then she didn't reveal too, of course she didn't reveal
128
00:05:49,202 --> 00:05:51,454
anything more about that. But
129
00:05:51,754 --> 00:05:54,706
honestly, this reminds me a lot of some of the discussions we
130
00:05:54,730 --> 00:05:57,548
had, last, last year, I guess last year about
131
00:05:57,636 --> 00:06:00,606
like Shogun, because originally it was Going
132
00:06:00,630 --> 00:06:03,454
to be a limited series. You know, it was only, you know, based on the one
133
00:06:03,494 --> 00:06:05,998
book and because it was ah, critical
134
00:06:06,126 --> 00:06:08,990
and an audience hit, the
135
00:06:09,142 --> 00:06:12,046
Hulu FX decided to make
136
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:15,024
a second season. but honestly, even
137
00:06:15,064 --> 00:06:17,834
if they were to make Adolescence like a, an
138
00:06:17,802 --> 00:06:20,366
anthology or something, I, I,
139
00:06:20,826 --> 00:06:23,806
to me, you hit a home run with this show.
140
00:06:24,666 --> 00:06:27,618
I don't, I don't even, I don't, don't mess with
141
00:06:27,642 --> 00:06:30,530
it. I, I, like, you know, I just really think they should
142
00:06:30,538 --> 00:06:33,488
just stick with what's, stick with what they have and, and, and
143
00:06:33,512 --> 00:06:36,512
not, not mess with a good thing. But you know, Netflix
144
00:06:36,544 --> 00:06:39,196
will do what, what they're gonna do, so we'll see.
145
00:06:39,656 --> 00:06:42,640
>> Sarah : Yeah, I, I'm
146
00:06:42,688 --> 00:06:45,504
torn. A, part of me agrees with you and a part of me is
147
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,512
like, no, they, they could, they could
148
00:06:48,584 --> 00:06:51,296
totally do like
149
00:06:51,336 --> 00:06:54,096
there's so many things you could change. Like you could have it
150
00:06:54,136 --> 00:06:56,800
involved, be focused on, the female
151
00:06:56,848 --> 00:06:59,196
perspective and have like
152
00:06:59,576 --> 00:07:02,304
a girl do something. You could even change it
153
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,008
to America, like the setting, you
154
00:07:05,032 --> 00:07:07,840
can, or, or a different part of Europe.
155
00:07:07,928 --> 00:07:10,320
Like you could, you could
156
00:07:10,408 --> 00:07:12,976
do things to change the
157
00:07:13,016 --> 00:07:15,856
environment and change the circumstance.
158
00:07:16,016 --> 00:07:18,996
I mean the act too, what happens,
159
00:07:19,276 --> 00:07:22,036
can totally be different. but
160
00:07:22,896 --> 00:07:25,896
they're gonna have to really be
161
00:07:25,936 --> 00:07:28,516
crafty and trying to figure out
162
00:07:29,376 --> 00:07:32,360
how exactly do you make it an anthology
163
00:07:32,488 --> 00:07:35,208
without like rinse and
164
00:07:35,232 --> 00:07:38,056
repeat. Yeah, like, like we
165
00:07:38,096 --> 00:07:40,728
don't want, and we definitely don't
166
00:07:40,792 --> 00:07:43,496
want to continue the current story like that,
167
00:07:43,536 --> 00:07:46,024
that's ended. The purpose of that story has
168
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,886
ended. I don't want them to resume that
169
00:07:48,926 --> 00:07:51,286
at all. I don't think that's needed.
170
00:07:51,446 --> 00:07:53,666
But I think that,
171
00:07:54,586 --> 00:07:57,394
they could tell there, there are
172
00:07:57,450 --> 00:08:00,226
plenty of stories to tell in terms of like
173
00:08:00,266 --> 00:08:02,162
the overall umbrella of
174
00:08:02,234 --> 00:08:04,674
adolescence as it currently
175
00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:07,486
stands in the world and
176
00:08:08,256 --> 00:08:10,968
given the social media of it all
177
00:08:11,072 --> 00:08:13,824
and other things, and other
178
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,556
cultural changes. So,
179
00:08:17,016 --> 00:08:19,824
so I, I can, I can understand
180
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,560
from a business perspective, of course, about
181
00:08:22,648 --> 00:08:25,360
why they would want to explore
182
00:08:25,408 --> 00:08:28,208
that. and, and I
183
00:08:28,232 --> 00:08:30,556
think that there are stories, but
184
00:08:31,336 --> 00:08:34,144
like, this isn't something that needs to be
185
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,136
like. And in six months we need to start production on
186
00:08:37,176 --> 00:08:39,792
season two. Hell no. No,
187
00:08:39,944 --> 00:08:42,528
no. You, you're, you're literally have to go
188
00:08:42,552 --> 00:08:43,116
back.
189
00:08:44,846 --> 00:08:47,366
because, because I would, I would
190
00:08:47,406 --> 00:08:50,262
love to more, more
191
00:08:50,334 --> 00:08:53,334
time spent like another story
192
00:08:53,470 --> 00:08:55,266
in this format and
193
00:08:55,876 --> 00:08:58,736
exploring these ideas and it being so
194
00:08:58,776 --> 00:09:01,578
raw. but they just have to
195
00:09:01,602 --> 00:09:04,378
figure out what that angle would be. So. Yeah,
196
00:09:04,442 --> 00:09:07,286
yeah, I, I, I,
197
00:09:07,586 --> 00:09:10,210
if they can figure out the right story story,
198
00:09:10,378 --> 00:09:13,202
then by all means, like do it.
199
00:09:13,354 --> 00:09:16,258
But don't, don't just rinse and
200
00:09:16,282 --> 00:09:18,354
repeat. Like, that's all I'm saying.
201
00:09:18,490 --> 00:09:21,420
>> Will: Yeah, I completely, completely agree with you. yeah,
202
00:09:21,468 --> 00:09:24,348
you're right. I mean your counterpoints to mine
203
00:09:24,412 --> 00:09:26,856
are definitely really, really
204
00:09:27,556 --> 00:09:30,306
salient. because it, yeah, there are
205
00:09:30,426 --> 00:09:33,202
even, even the manosphere and toxic masculinity. There's
206
00:09:33,234 --> 00:09:36,130
things, the bullying that, you know, there's so many elements. And I
207
00:09:36,138 --> 00:09:38,866
do like the fact that you did say that, you know, could
208
00:09:38,906 --> 00:09:41,730
they tell this story from, from the
209
00:09:41,738 --> 00:09:42,610
victim's perspective?
210
00:09:42,658 --> 00:09:45,298
>> Sarah : Because, you know, not even the
211
00:09:45,322 --> 00:09:47,406
victim's perspective. I'm saying
212
00:09:47,866 --> 00:09:50,658
females are mean. Females are violent
213
00:09:50,722 --> 00:09:51,954
too. Like.
214
00:09:52,090 --> 00:09:52,842
>> Will: Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
215
00:09:52,882 --> 00:09:55,802
>> Sarah : Yeah, they get like. There's this lovely movie called
216
00:09:55,842 --> 00:09:58,730
Mean Girls. Yeah. Put that under
217
00:09:58,786 --> 00:10:00,186
adolescence. Okay.
218
00:10:00,234 --> 00:10:02,746
>> Will: Yeah, that's true. That is true.
219
00:10:02,874 --> 00:10:04,372
>> Sarah : Yeah. So
220
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:08,692
I, I think that
221
00:10:10,512 --> 00:10:13,322
the, the thing about adolescence as a,
222
00:10:13,322 --> 00:10:16,132
ah, show, they
223
00:10:16,992 --> 00:10:19,944
be it. They tapped
224
00:10:20,008 --> 00:10:22,772
into, they were able to find a way
225
00:10:23,072 --> 00:10:26,052
to take a, a child
226
00:10:26,752 --> 00:10:29,160
and put them in an adult
227
00:10:29,256 --> 00:10:32,214
world and talk about things
228
00:10:32,318 --> 00:10:34,892
where even there's moments when the child
229
00:10:35,012 --> 00:10:37,916
is like questioning the adults and saying, are we allowed to
230
00:10:37,924 --> 00:10:40,476
talk about this? But then again, that same child
231
00:10:40,564 --> 00:10:42,924
committed a very adult like
232
00:10:43,028 --> 00:10:45,640
act. and, and
233
00:10:45,696 --> 00:10:48,440
also because of social media is exposed
234
00:10:48,536 --> 00:10:51,432
to porn and, and sex and
235
00:10:51,472 --> 00:10:54,440
all of this stuff. But no, the moment an adult talks
236
00:10:54,456 --> 00:10:57,256
to you about it, it's like, whoa, whoa, I'm, I'm a kid
237
00:10:57,304 --> 00:10:59,780
here. You can't be doing that. Like,
238
00:10:59,916 --> 00:11:02,628
like those taboo subjects
239
00:11:02,740 --> 00:11:05,524
like you have, they have to
240
00:11:05,628 --> 00:11:08,178
figure out a way to to tell a
241
00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:11,090
story and, and get in.
242
00:11:11,146 --> 00:11:14,114
Like, it doesn't even have to be a murder. There could be, there
243
00:11:14,138 --> 00:11:16,674
could be other crimes or heinous
244
00:11:16,738 --> 00:11:18,050
actions. Of course.
245
00:11:18,186 --> 00:11:18,642
>> Will: Yeah.
246
00:11:18,722 --> 00:11:21,572
>> Sarah : But there, there.
247
00:11:21,692 --> 00:11:24,516
I, I think I know that there are other stories
248
00:11:24,564 --> 00:11:26,742
to tell. Now granted,
249
00:11:27,482 --> 00:11:30,322
if it is, if they do do the switch up and
250
00:11:30,442 --> 00:11:33,202
tell it from, from a girl
251
00:11:33,322 --> 00:11:35,964
perspective, you gotta have a
252
00:11:35,988 --> 00:11:38,364
girl creator and writer involved.
253
00:11:38,508 --> 00:11:39,232
>> Will: Yes.
254
00:11:39,972 --> 00:11:42,778
>> Sarah : I, that's the other thing you're. And, and,
255
00:11:42,850 --> 00:11:45,706
and even race. Like, like if you switch
256
00:11:45,754 --> 00:11:48,634
up the race and, and go into that
257
00:11:48,818 --> 00:11:51,594
like these, these two older
258
00:11:51,738 --> 00:11:54,584
white men, they can't be at the helm of that.
259
00:11:54,608 --> 00:11:57,560
And I think that's another barrier that they
260
00:11:57,616 --> 00:12:00,024
will have if they, if they try
261
00:12:00,128 --> 00:12:02,670
to delve into those worlds.
262
00:12:02,766 --> 00:12:05,758
>> Will: Yeah, all, yeah, all great points,
263
00:12:05,830 --> 00:12:08,702
all great points. But yeah, I mean, but you know, this
264
00:12:08,742 --> 00:12:11,322
show, is, is, is definitely ah,
265
00:12:11,322 --> 00:12:13,964
has hit the zeitgeist. I mean, I think it's
266
00:12:14,028 --> 00:12:16,380
fourth all time now on on Netflix
267
00:12:16,476 --> 00:12:19,218
and as far as views
268
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:22,194
and so. Yeah, yeah, I think all the things you
269
00:12:22,218 --> 00:12:25,074
just shared, I mean, those are excellent points as
270
00:12:25,098 --> 00:12:27,858
far as like, if they do decide to green light a second season
271
00:12:27,930 --> 00:12:30,902
and like you said, go explore things. Race and gender.
272
00:12:31,132 --> 00:12:34,052
you're, you're right. Or definitely we need to have the, you know, proper
273
00:12:34,092 --> 00:12:36,756
representation in the writer's room to make sure that it's an authentic
274
00:12:36,804 --> 00:12:37,392
story.
275
00:12:37,852 --> 00:12:40,596
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. And
276
00:12:40,684 --> 00:12:43,502
I, I have started the pit on
277
00:12:43,622 --> 00:12:46,618
Max. And I, honestly,
278
00:12:46,650 --> 00:12:49,542
it's weird. I don't know what episode I am at.
279
00:12:51,362 --> 00:12:53,914
I, I, I know I'm probably
280
00:12:53,978 --> 00:12:56,474
around episode five or six, I
281
00:12:56,498 --> 00:12:59,348
think. I forget what
282
00:12:59,420 --> 00:13:02,342
time I ended it. But, so, so
283
00:13:02,382 --> 00:13:05,174
in a future episode, I will share my overall
284
00:13:05,238 --> 00:13:06,550
thoughts once I finish the season.
285
00:13:06,606 --> 00:13:09,414
>> Will: Okay. Okay. That sounds, Yeah, I have been,
286
00:13:09,518 --> 00:13:11,900
that's one of those ones I have been like, I've been
287
00:13:12,006 --> 00:13:14,996
chewing on starting. So I might, I may, I, mean
288
00:13:15,696 --> 00:13:17,878
add, that to, to the watch list.
289
00:13:18,062 --> 00:13:20,694
>> Sarah : Do you know a lot about it? Because I've had so many
290
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:23,478
scenes spoiled for me, so I do know, I.
291
00:13:23,502 --> 00:13:26,118
>> Will: Knew the, know the basic premise, but I haven't had anything. No
292
00:13:26,142 --> 00:13:26,998
spoilers.
293
00:13:27,142 --> 00:13:29,606
>> Sarah : No spoilers. Okay. I, I will
294
00:13:29,646 --> 00:13:32,406
forewarn you. I haven't gone into this episode and I
295
00:13:32,446 --> 00:13:35,158
honestly don't know when it occurs, but I do know there's an
296
00:13:35,182 --> 00:13:37,466
episode that features childbirth.
297
00:13:37,826 --> 00:13:40,696
And people are like, yeah, we did not
298
00:13:40,736 --> 00:13:43,688
need to see it. Did not, did not need to
299
00:13:43,712 --> 00:13:46,280
see it. And, and I even warned my,
300
00:13:46,368 --> 00:13:49,192
my brother and sister in law who are expecting, and I'm
301
00:13:49,224 --> 00:13:52,200
like, if you ever do watch it, just be warned to skip
302
00:13:52,248 --> 00:13:55,240
an episode that like, the moment somebody comes in pregnant,
303
00:13:55,288 --> 00:13:57,784
just be like, no, we're skipping this episode. Okay,
304
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,168
okay. Because it just is a
305
00:14:00,192 --> 00:14:02,738
traumatic. That's what everyone has said
306
00:14:02,872 --> 00:14:05,294
watching that episode. Like, it's like,
307
00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:08,336
oh, oh, no, no, no,
308
00:14:08,376 --> 00:14:11,296
no. And, and a lot of
309
00:14:11,336 --> 00:14:14,156
medical experts have also said that
310
00:14:15,336 --> 00:14:18,208
from what I understand, out of all of the episodes, that
311
00:14:18,232 --> 00:14:20,976
episode in particular is the least
312
00:14:21,096 --> 00:14:23,616
realistic because of some of the things that
313
00:14:23,656 --> 00:14:26,512
happen. Everything else they applaud and they're
314
00:14:26,544 --> 00:14:28,552
like, this is the most realistic.
315
00:14:28,704 --> 00:14:29,266
>> Will: Yeah.
316
00:14:29,656 --> 00:14:30,876
>> Sarah : it's also.
317
00:14:33,096 --> 00:14:35,516
See, I don't know what episode I'm at
318
00:14:35,816 --> 00:14:38,816
because I watched it, but I
319
00:14:38,856 --> 00:14:41,680
also was doing other stuff during it.
320
00:14:41,848 --> 00:14:42,944
>> Will: Fair enough. Fair enough.
321
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,676
>> Sarah : Not. It's not an episode. It's not,
322
00:14:46,036 --> 00:14:48,828
it's not something where I'm like, oh, I have to
323
00:14:48,852 --> 00:14:51,692
watch everything. Especially because a lot of the stuff
324
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:54,588
I'm like, I Don't want to watch that. I don't. I don't want
325
00:14:54,612 --> 00:14:57,500
to say that I'm not fast forwarding, but I'm
326
00:14:57,548 --> 00:15:00,012
also, like, zoning in and out.
327
00:15:00,084 --> 00:15:01,644
>> Will: Yeah, you're not dialed in. Yeah.
328
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:04,636
>> Sarah : Yeah. So I. I don't know
329
00:15:04,676 --> 00:15:07,676
if I would recommend it or not. I. I'm still a
330
00:15:07,716 --> 00:15:10,186
very much on the fence. but, yeah,
331
00:15:10,846 --> 00:15:13,622
anyways. All right, that brings us up
332
00:15:13,694 --> 00:15:16,550
to Daredevil, Born again, episode eight,
333
00:15:16,638 --> 00:15:19,414
Isle of Joy. At his inaugural.
334
00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:22,328
Inaugural Black and White Ball, Mayor Fisk
335
00:15:22,382 --> 00:15:24,736
tightens his grip on New York City.
336
00:15:25,196 --> 00:15:27,416
Parentheses and Vanessa.
337
00:15:29,036 --> 00:15:29,776
so
338
00:15:31,836 --> 00:15:34,116
I. I can. I have a problem with this
339
00:15:34,156 --> 00:15:34,936
episode.
340
00:15:35,356 --> 00:15:38,356
>> Will: Okay. I do. I do.
341
00:15:38,476 --> 00:15:40,296
>> Sarah : And the name is Dex.
342
00:15:40,746 --> 00:15:43,642
>> Sarah : I just. I think that's
343
00:15:43,674 --> 00:15:46,490
what ruined this episode for me, where
344
00:15:46,658 --> 00:15:49,114
I. I liked a lot of the stuff that was going
345
00:15:49,170 --> 00:15:51,916
on, but the prison break,
346
00:15:53,016 --> 00:15:55,840
I, was like, I don't. I don't like this.
347
00:15:56,140 --> 00:15:59,108
And then. And then the fact that it took him
348
00:15:59,244 --> 00:16:02,052
so he. He, like, he broke out
349
00:16:02,076 --> 00:16:04,500
of prison so easily. It was
350
00:16:04,540 --> 00:16:07,524
scary. It was just like. It wasn't
351
00:16:07,572 --> 00:16:09,700
scary. It was. It was
352
00:16:09,820 --> 00:16:12,740
cringe. And then he just so
353
00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:15,460
happens to get on the bus to leave and just
354
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:18,260
immediately knows where Fisk and Vanessa will
355
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:20,474
be. And like. Like, this is all
356
00:16:20,642 --> 00:16:23,190
seemingly happening, like,
357
00:16:23,650 --> 00:16:26,330
very close together, timeline wise.
358
00:16:26,490 --> 00:16:29,322
I'm just. I just. That. That whole
359
00:16:29,386 --> 00:16:31,670
thing took me out of it.
360
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,568
and. And I don't know.
361
00:16:34,704 --> 00:16:37,560
The. The. The
362
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,552
show had me, and
363
00:16:40,656 --> 00:16:43,368
it hasn't lost me. But
364
00:16:43,504 --> 00:16:46,328
I will say I am m. Not as on board
365
00:16:46,384 --> 00:16:49,288
as I was. Like, Sarah, say, episode two or three.
366
00:16:49,688 --> 00:16:50,536
>> Will: interesting.
367
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,448
>> Sarah : Yeah, it's.
368
00:16:51,496 --> 00:16:54,200
>> Will: It's losing me because I had the exact
369
00:16:54,232 --> 00:16:55,484
opposite feeling.
370
00:16:56,064 --> 00:16:57,144
>> Sarah : Well, that's good.
371
00:16:57,264 --> 00:16:59,364
>> Will: Yeah. I mean, this week it was.
372
00:16:59,984 --> 00:17:02,564
Well, I think a couple of things. it definitely.
373
00:17:04,744 --> 00:17:07,616
I was locked in with this episode because I think it
374
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,640
was. The writing for me was just so. I guess it kept
375
00:17:10,672 --> 00:17:13,136
me guessing as far as, like, where things were going to
376
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,654
go. and. And also, I think
377
00:17:15,694 --> 00:17:18,584
tonally, this. I could
378
00:17:18,624 --> 00:17:21,176
definitely see the.
379
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:24,280
The. This was the new ver.
380
00:17:24,312 --> 00:17:26,856
This is the version that. That after
381
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,960
they came in and scrapped the original, well,
382
00:17:30,032 --> 00:17:31,992
almost a. Scrapped, I guess,
383
00:17:32,168 --> 00:17:34,830
retooled the original stuff. these
384
00:17:34,902 --> 00:17:37,566
two are. Are fresh episodes, whereas
385
00:17:37,710 --> 00:17:40,004
episodes, two through
386
00:17:40,464 --> 00:17:43,326
seven, are a, ah, m. Mix
387
00:17:43,390 --> 00:17:46,274
mishmash of the original
388
00:17:47,094 --> 00:17:49,950
stories that they were planning on telling.
389
00:17:50,142 --> 00:17:52,478
And then the. The new creative
390
00:17:52,526 --> 00:17:55,104
team spikes, it in there,
391
00:17:55,484 --> 00:17:58,180
the reshoots and everything in it.
392
00:17:58,332 --> 00:18:00,900
But for me, this episode was a nice
393
00:18:00,932 --> 00:18:03,924
bookend. It was a. It was what, a penultimate Episode should do,
394
00:18:03,964 --> 00:18:06,840
which is set. You know, we have. We've
395
00:18:06,872 --> 00:18:09,764
had all these various threads throughout the season
396
00:18:10,784 --> 00:18:13,586
come, to a head and, you know, and for
397
00:18:13,610 --> 00:18:16,554
me, as someone who did not watch the original,
398
00:18:17,354 --> 00:18:20,132
Netflix show, but I am familiar with
399
00:18:20,188 --> 00:18:22,804
the storyline as far as, you know, with, you know, the
400
00:18:22,844 --> 00:18:25,764
mats. You know, two biggest nemesis. As far as
401
00:18:25,804 --> 00:18:28,468
Bullseye and Fisk. It.
402
00:18:28,556 --> 00:18:31,532
I. I felt sufficiently like, paid off,
403
00:18:31,588 --> 00:18:34,444
especially given that also episode one was
404
00:18:34,484 --> 00:18:37,292
also done by the new creative team and we get the.
405
00:18:37,348 --> 00:18:40,204
The follow up to the events that happen there with.
406
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:43,244
With Foggy and tying everything back to, you know,
407
00:18:43,284 --> 00:18:45,436
who. You know, who actually did order to hit on
408
00:18:45,460 --> 00:18:48,428
Foggy. So for me, all of
409
00:18:48,436 --> 00:18:51,116
those things really worked really well in this episode
410
00:18:51,180 --> 00:18:54,076
and. And for once. Whereas the other ones I like,
411
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:56,664
I liked. But I wasn't like, locked in,
412
00:18:57,214 --> 00:19:00,214
you know, other. Other. Well, other than episode five
413
00:19:00,254 --> 00:19:02,922
as far as the, intervening episodes,
414
00:19:03,050 --> 00:19:05,770
this one was when I was really, like, locked in and really
415
00:19:05,794 --> 00:19:06,558
enjoyed.
416
00:19:12,978 --> 00:19:15,978
>> Sarah : Sorry, I'm just. I'm just blanking on where. Where you
417
00:19:16,018 --> 00:19:17,098
want to go from there.
418
00:19:17,218 --> 00:19:19,386
>> Will: I'll just give over my thoughts. No, I mean, I just.
419
00:19:19,442 --> 00:19:22,010
>> Sarah : I know. I. I know that. I just. I just don't.
420
00:19:22,074 --> 00:19:24,410
>> Will: Well, let's just jump in. Yeah, Well, I mean, I think we can just jump in
421
00:19:24,434 --> 00:19:27,036
chronologically as far as, like, what happened.
422
00:19:27,212 --> 00:19:28,796
>> Sarah : Break it down chronologically.
423
00:19:28,892 --> 00:19:31,660
>> Will: Well, if you want to. We can do. Or we can. Or we can
424
00:19:31,684 --> 00:19:34,620
do story beats. I don't. I mean, it's totally. I
425
00:19:34,644 --> 00:19:36,684
am. You. You are totally in the driver's seat.
426
00:19:36,796 --> 00:19:38,888
>> Sarah : I hate when you do this to me.
427
00:19:43,838 --> 00:19:46,774
Like, I had an idea of what I wanted to talk about,
428
00:19:46,846 --> 00:19:49,814
and then I lost it, but I. I lost
429
00:19:49,886 --> 00:19:52,796
it. Like, that's the thing. Like, that's. That's. That's
430
00:19:52,812 --> 00:19:55,788
what's happening is like, your overall thought took
431
00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:58,732
too long and I lost where I was gonna go,
432
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:01,568
and I'm just like. I have no idea
433
00:20:01,908 --> 00:20:04,514
what to really, say
434
00:20:04,586 --> 00:20:07,282
here. So, Yeah. Yeah,
435
00:20:07,330 --> 00:20:10,218
I'm. I'm glad you liked it. and
436
00:20:10,918 --> 00:20:13,842
I, just. And I. I probably
437
00:20:13,890 --> 00:20:15,038
didn't like it.
438
00:20:17,208 --> 00:20:20,160
Yeah, so the whole. The whole Foggy of it
439
00:20:20,184 --> 00:20:22,944
all. Here's my problem. Like,
440
00:20:23,016 --> 00:20:25,712
and you brought up threads come coming together.
441
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,544
Okay. Foggy's
442
00:20:28,576 --> 00:20:31,136
absence has been huge in this
443
00:20:31,192 --> 00:20:34,144
show, and. But his presence has been felt because
444
00:20:34,216 --> 00:20:37,120
of, like, Matt and the suit of it
445
00:20:37,144 --> 00:20:39,962
all. I am not being articulate tonight,
446
00:20:40,010 --> 00:20:41,958
but we're just gonna go with it.
447
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:45,056
And so. So my
448
00:20:45,112 --> 00:20:48,016
problem is it's not like we
449
00:20:48,072 --> 00:20:50,880
spent this entire season like, who ordered the
450
00:20:50,904 --> 00:20:53,548
hit on Foggy? Who ordered that?
451
00:20:53,848 --> 00:20:56,784
No, that question. We've never talked about
452
00:20:56,856 --> 00:20:59,808
that at all. Because the
453
00:20:59,848 --> 00:21:02,640
first. The first scene of the first episode
454
00:21:02,704 --> 00:21:05,056
happens. Foggy dies, and then it's a year
455
00:21:05,112 --> 00:21:07,904
later. Like, and it feels like
456
00:21:07,976 --> 00:21:10,852
he. He's moved on. Well, like.
457
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:13,814
But we know he hasn't. But yet at, no
458
00:21:13,870 --> 00:21:16,374
point between then and
459
00:21:16,430 --> 00:21:18,854
now, was it. Was he, like,
460
00:21:18,910 --> 00:21:21,702
questioning Cherry or. We never
461
00:21:21,774 --> 00:21:24,518
saw anything that they brought up in this episode
462
00:21:24,582 --> 00:21:27,478
between him and Cherry. About, like, we did all that
463
00:21:27,502 --> 00:21:30,454
research and we tried to figure it out, and we couldn't figure
464
00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:33,106
it out, and then they missed something
465
00:21:34,616 --> 00:21:37,344
and. And it just. It
466
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,288
felt weird to me that, like, all of a
467
00:21:40,312 --> 00:21:42,556
sudden this is becoming a thing
468
00:21:43,096 --> 00:21:45,904
and. And how they get
469
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,864
there, because how it took
470
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,356
them more than a year to get there,
471
00:21:52,296 --> 00:21:55,164
that's a little like, I thought you guys would be
472
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:58,086
better at that, because even I knew Fisk
473
00:21:58,134 --> 00:22:00,742
has been out of commission. Vanessa was in
474
00:22:00,782 --> 00:22:03,042
charge, so.
475
00:22:03,502 --> 00:22:06,086
But. But it just. It just felt
476
00:22:06,134 --> 00:22:08,642
weird to me that,
477
00:22:09,902 --> 00:22:12,902
like, we. We circled back around. I can
478
00:22:12,942 --> 00:22:15,606
understand why, but
479
00:22:15,774 --> 00:22:18,570
I just. It didn't feel to me like a, thread
480
00:22:18,666 --> 00:22:21,022
coming together necessarily,
481
00:22:21,602 --> 00:22:24,222
since it hadn't been a question question.
482
00:22:24,602 --> 00:22:27,602
And. And maybe it's just execution, because
483
00:22:27,722 --> 00:22:29,742
when we talk about Spider man,
484
00:22:30,282 --> 00:22:33,106
arguably a similar thing happens, but I felt
485
00:22:33,154 --> 00:22:36,114
like that. That, like, that
486
00:22:36,138 --> 00:22:38,306
was a good surprise and, like,
487
00:22:38,394 --> 00:22:41,090
revelation just because of how they
488
00:22:41,146 --> 00:22:43,762
executed it, versus here,
489
00:22:43,882 --> 00:22:46,754
where it just felt like, oh, now that we
490
00:22:46,778 --> 00:22:49,266
killed Muse, we need to
491
00:22:49,354 --> 00:22:52,002
resume this vendetta between
492
00:22:52,122 --> 00:22:55,042
him and Fisk. And.
493
00:22:55,742 --> 00:22:58,534
But. But also, be like, it
494
00:22:58,558 --> 00:23:01,462
wasn't. It really wasn't Fisk who called that shot. It was
495
00:23:01,502 --> 00:23:04,272
Vanessa. even though we have not been
496
00:23:04,312 --> 00:23:07,024
questioning that for purposes of this season at
497
00:23:07,048 --> 00:23:07,612
all.
498
00:23:08,042 --> 00:23:11,024
>> Will: M. Well, I. I will say that. I
499
00:23:11,048 --> 00:23:13,772
mean, as far as the Foggy of it all, I mean,
500
00:23:14,552 --> 00:23:17,232
so, yes, it has been a year, but I mean, but
501
00:23:17,272 --> 00:23:20,258
throughout that year, I mean, Matt has.
502
00:23:20,410 --> 00:23:23,314
I won't say, you know, we get. We
503
00:23:23,338 --> 00:23:26,162
get the early. Earlier in the season. You know, we.
504
00:23:26,202 --> 00:23:28,582
We have the. We have the trial.
505
00:23:30,042 --> 00:23:32,472
you know, Karen shows up, one year
506
00:23:32,512 --> 00:23:35,178
later. you know, we. We see. We see
507
00:23:35,250 --> 00:23:38,138
moments. Yeah. I mean, we're. You know, was
508
00:23:38,210 --> 00:23:41,082
the. You know, was like
509
00:23:41,202 --> 00:23:44,058
the. I think there have been, like, moments of, like, this
510
00:23:44,130 --> 00:23:46,650
maybe quite. You know, things being
511
00:23:46,706 --> 00:23:49,232
dropped. as far
512
00:23:49,272 --> 00:23:52,144
as, like, when I think. For example, when I think
513
00:23:52,168 --> 00:23:55,056
about the guy who, When Matt was representing, the guy who
514
00:23:55,064 --> 00:23:57,924
stole the, the. The candy, the pop candy
515
00:23:57,972 --> 00:24:00,852
from the. From the bodega. I mean,
516
00:24:00,956 --> 00:24:03,652
you know, there were questions about like, you know, justice
517
00:24:03,716 --> 00:24:04,532
and, you.
518
00:24:04,556 --> 00:24:07,428
>> Sarah : Know, that's not the same thing,
519
00:24:07,484 --> 00:24:07,796
though.
520
00:24:07,868 --> 00:24:10,612
>> Will: Well, no, but, no, but there was. There were, bro. There
521
00:24:10,636 --> 00:24:13,408
were. I won't. But there were elements throughout the season
522
00:24:13,464 --> 00:24:16,288
where Foggy's death did, like, show
523
00:24:16,344 --> 00:24:18,944
up. So it's not like it just came out of left field again is my
524
00:24:18,952 --> 00:24:21,760
point. I mean, there have been like, there, there have been like,
525
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,720
moments throughout the season where maybe not the. Whether
526
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,584
or not it was a hit that was ordered. I mean, that was the moment whenever
527
00:24:27,632 --> 00:24:30,528
they went, you know, they were at the, you know, Cherry and
528
00:24:30,584 --> 00:24:33,376
Josie when they went back at this, at the shop, when they started putting
529
00:24:33,408 --> 00:24:36,360
things together as far as what happened that night. But,
530
00:24:36,818 --> 00:24:39,810
you know, but there have been, but
531
00:24:39,850 --> 00:24:42,802
to say that it hasn't been there not
532
00:24:42,826 --> 00:24:45,550
been a part of the story at all is, I think it's a bit much.
533
00:24:47,370 --> 00:24:49,830
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah.
534
00:24:51,090 --> 00:24:53,090
m. What else do you want to talk about?
535
00:24:55,470 --> 00:24:58,230
I find it difficult because I, I,
536
00:24:58,350 --> 00:25:01,286
yeah, I, I, you already know my thoughts
537
00:25:01,318 --> 00:25:03,764
about this episode, so, so yeah. What do you want to
538
00:25:03,772 --> 00:25:04,452
highlight?
539
00:25:04,596 --> 00:25:07,524
>> Will: Oh, I mean, well, okay, well, let's highlight the, the night of
540
00:25:07,532 --> 00:25:09,956
the ball. I mean, I think that was, that's really the pivotal
541
00:25:09,988 --> 00:25:12,540
moment, as far as,
542
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,620
well, before we go there, I mean, let's,
543
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,840
since we were talking about Fisk and, and Vanessa and
544
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,640
hit and stuff, I mean, what do you, I mean, I guess they
545
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,506
quickly dispense with Adam, you know, just, sort
546
00:25:25,538 --> 00:25:28,370
of as we, as we see Matt and,
547
00:25:28,490 --> 00:25:31,450
and, and, and Wilson like both
548
00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:35,730
get back through their, I guess, truer natures,
549
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,432
and, and all it, you
550
00:25:38,456 --> 00:25:41,376
know. You know, so we get that moment
551
00:25:41,408 --> 00:25:44,384
with Vanessa and Fisk and, and Adam where he's like,
552
00:25:44,392 --> 00:25:47,376
I got to show you a secret. And they go down and you know,
553
00:25:47,528 --> 00:25:49,888
he, he, Vanessa, like
554
00:25:49,944 --> 00:25:52,330
Pops, kills off Adam, but,
555
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,224
you know, just to sort of, again, drive things, drive
556
00:25:56,272 --> 00:25:58,730
things forward. But, you know, there was
557
00:25:58,770 --> 00:26:01,672
that, But I guess the other big highlight for
558
00:26:01,696 --> 00:26:04,472
me with, with the episode is I
559
00:26:04,496 --> 00:26:07,288
guess the, the ball
560
00:26:07,344 --> 00:26:10,250
itself. and just sort of, I mean, once as you,
561
00:26:10,290 --> 00:26:12,952
as you, as you started off, talking about Bullseye and his
562
00:26:12,976 --> 00:26:15,874
escape, showing up there and I guess just how, I
563
00:26:15,882 --> 00:26:18,818
mean, I guess the execution of, just basically how things sort
564
00:26:18,834 --> 00:26:20,840
of went down with, with
565
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:24,680
the, with the dance and stuff, and, and the
566
00:26:24,816 --> 00:26:26,252
assassination attempt.
567
00:26:26,772 --> 00:26:29,726
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Which
568
00:26:29,894 --> 00:26:32,590
again, I mean, my
569
00:26:32,646 --> 00:26:35,134
point being is that they are
570
00:26:35,158 --> 00:26:37,934
deliberate to show you how many quote unquote,
571
00:26:37,998 --> 00:26:40,622
task force members are armed and just
572
00:26:40,662 --> 00:26:43,230
walking around this this ball
573
00:26:43,366 --> 00:26:46,042
and how. It's a very secure thing.
574
00:26:46,542 --> 00:26:48,722
Poindexter just walks in
575
00:26:50,702 --> 00:26:53,478
undetected. I just. We spent
576
00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:56,390
20 minutes in this ball, and it was
577
00:26:56,446 --> 00:26:58,982
very clear to me. You saw all of the.
578
00:26:59,102 --> 00:27:02,088
The, wealthy people, and then you're. You're
579
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:04,616
watching task force members, like, With.
580
00:27:04,784 --> 00:27:07,784
With. Right. Like, guns. Sorry, I don't know
581
00:27:07,808 --> 00:27:10,132
the exact type of guns, but,
582
00:27:10,432 --> 00:27:13,202
like, they make it a
583
00:27:13,242 --> 00:27:15,986
point. And then Poindexter walks right in.
584
00:27:16,074 --> 00:27:18,962
It just. Things like that will take
585
00:27:19,002 --> 00:27:21,842
me so out of an episode. I can't.
586
00:27:22,002 --> 00:27:24,302
It just. It bothers me.
587
00:27:24,552 --> 00:27:26,092
where you.
588
00:27:29,272 --> 00:27:32,064
Yeah, like. Like, they. They made
589
00:27:32,088 --> 00:27:34,192
it so clear that
590
00:27:34,312 --> 00:27:37,296
Fisk, like, to the point where it
591
00:27:37,304 --> 00:27:40,224
was almost like, are you using these guys to
592
00:27:40,248 --> 00:27:42,516
even threaten the royal. The
593
00:27:42,664 --> 00:27:45,484
people? Which, to an extent, he was. He
594
00:27:45,508 --> 00:27:47,964
was leveraging that now.
595
00:27:48,148 --> 00:27:50,812
But again, point.
596
00:27:50,852 --> 00:27:53,548
Dexter just walks right in. So. So
597
00:27:53,620 --> 00:27:55,192
that. That took me out.
598
00:27:56,972 --> 00:27:59,812
And. And it was hard because I could see what they were
599
00:27:59,852 --> 00:28:02,838
doing with, With the relationships, whether it be
600
00:28:02,878 --> 00:28:04,538
Fisk and Vanessa
601
00:28:05,278 --> 00:28:07,868
or, Heather and Matt,
602
00:28:08,238 --> 00:28:11,050
which you planted a
603
00:28:11,074 --> 00:28:13,978
seed for me last week about the
604
00:28:14,018 --> 00:28:16,998
relationship with Heather and Matt, where
605
00:28:17,858 --> 00:28:20,330
this week I felt it even
606
00:28:20,434 --> 00:28:23,306
more, where I was just like, okay, I'm
607
00:28:23,322 --> 00:28:26,234
starting to see what. What will is. Because,
608
00:28:26,306 --> 00:28:29,194
like, one minute they're saying, I love you and
609
00:28:29,266 --> 00:28:32,122
get in their freak on, and next minute she's complaining
610
00:28:32,250 --> 00:28:35,194
because he's out all the time. And I'm like, wasn't
611
00:28:35,226 --> 00:28:38,176
it, like, one night? Like. Like,
612
00:28:38,232 --> 00:28:41,088
I don't. I don't. And. And it
613
00:28:41,128 --> 00:28:43,708
just felt quick in terms of
614
00:28:44,168 --> 00:28:45,788
the. The.
615
00:28:46,968 --> 00:28:49,744
Not in terms of their relationship, in terms
616
00:28:49,816 --> 00:28:52,416
of the conflict that
617
00:28:52,472 --> 00:28:55,424
suddenly became. Because she goes
618
00:28:55,456 --> 00:28:58,384
through this very traumatic experience with Muse
619
00:28:58,496 --> 00:29:01,392
slash Daredevil, and then
620
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,448
she, at the end of the previous episode, says, I think
621
00:29:04,488 --> 00:29:05,810
he said my name.
622
00:29:05,984 --> 00:29:06,478
>> Will: Yeah.
623
00:29:06,558 --> 00:29:09,438
>> Sarah : But then this episode, it's like, we're not
624
00:29:09,478 --> 00:29:12,446
gonna address that. We're gonna focus on the fact that
625
00:29:12,502 --> 00:29:15,502
she doesn't believe that Daredevil, like, saved
626
00:29:15,550 --> 00:29:17,638
her. And Daredevil's just,
627
00:29:17,944 --> 00:29:20,880
Like, I. I'm just thinking in my head, I was
628
00:29:20,904 --> 00:29:23,280
like, can we explore that a bit more? Because
629
00:29:23,384 --> 00:29:25,808
I. I would like to understand the
630
00:29:25,848 --> 00:29:27,552
doctor's logic here.
631
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,064
>> Will: Yeah.
632
00:29:28,096 --> 00:29:30,544
>> Sarah : Before I get invested.
633
00:29:30,656 --> 00:29:33,128
So. So they're doing stuff with her
634
00:29:33,168 --> 00:29:36,120
character in particular that is starting to
635
00:29:36,144 --> 00:29:38,216
be very inconsistent and. And
636
00:29:38,272 --> 00:29:39,148
rushed.
637
00:29:39,378 --> 00:29:42,270
>> Will: yeah, that was one thing too. As far as the. I
638
00:29:42,294 --> 00:29:44,846
guess, with. With
639
00:29:44,982 --> 00:29:47,838
their. Their. Their scene before with.
640
00:29:47,878 --> 00:29:50,542
With the ball and. And, you know,
641
00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:53,262
so to that, you know, I was thinking about our
642
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:56,058
conversation a little bit too, about, like, know, he
643
00:29:56,298 --> 00:29:59,170
you know, the, the straight. The
644
00:29:59,194 --> 00:30:02,130
strain in the relationship now because, you know, Matt's, you
645
00:30:02,154 --> 00:30:04,914
know, getting closer and closer to. To being,
646
00:30:05,066 --> 00:30:08,052
you know, going back to back you. He's back on the streets, being a
647
00:30:08,060 --> 00:30:10,892
vigilante again. and the.
648
00:30:10,980 --> 00:30:13,820
She's. And I guess to that point
649
00:30:13,844 --> 00:30:16,524
about you. I'm glad you brought up the, the. The
650
00:30:16,596 --> 00:30:19,372
Daredevil not saving her. And Yeah, I mean, he, you
651
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:21,768
know, he did.
652
00:30:22,148 --> 00:30:25,148
Yeah, she, you know, he facilitated, you know, she, her
653
00:30:25,188 --> 00:30:28,016
being able to get that gun and popping off. Popping, off
654
00:30:28,072 --> 00:30:30,992
Muse. But I guess the bigger thing for me was just sort of
655
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
her. Her like, you
656
00:30:34,024 --> 00:30:36,388
know, basically equating,
657
00:30:36,808 --> 00:30:39,680
I guess the whole thing about the mask and you know, the bull, you
658
00:30:39,704 --> 00:30:42,258
know, and, and the What did you
659
00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:45,166
say? Oh gosh, I'm
660
00:30:45,182 --> 00:30:48,030
blanking on the exact terms, but I mean, she was.
661
00:30:48,054 --> 00:30:50,990
She was basically like lumping Matt, you know, all
662
00:30:51,014 --> 00:30:53,620
the vigilantes. you know, she was basically siding with
663
00:30:53,644 --> 00:30:56,612
Fiska's vision of like, why the vigilantes
664
00:30:56,660 --> 00:30:59,092
are a bad thing and basically supporting, you know, supporting
665
00:30:59,140 --> 00:31:02,100
Fiskus the efforts with the task force and stuff. And
666
00:31:02,124 --> 00:31:04,948
Matt's like, well, I just. I just like saved your.
667
00:31:04,988 --> 00:31:07,972
Saved your ass. And you're. Is this is how you treat us? And.
668
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:10,678
And of course he can't like say
669
00:31:10,798 --> 00:31:13,734
that, you know, he's Daredevil at that moment because
670
00:31:13,806 --> 00:31:16,178
then she will even treat him like
671
00:31:16,478 --> 00:31:18,726
even more crazy than she already thinks
672
00:31:18,822 --> 00:31:21,750
vigilantes are. So. Yeah, so yeah, you
673
00:31:21,774 --> 00:31:24,358
know, it did try to create, you know, I guess
674
00:31:24,390 --> 00:31:26,602
a tension
675
00:31:27,102 --> 00:31:29,962
ratcheted up more in that m. Moment.
676
00:31:31,082 --> 00:31:31,890
>> Sarah : Yeah.
677
00:31:32,066 --> 00:31:34,514
>> Will: Yeah. Which I don't know if it felt. I don't know if it was like
678
00:31:34,538 --> 00:31:37,474
manufactured tension. I guess it was dramatic tension and just sort of
679
00:31:37,498 --> 00:31:40,184
like, okay, really like, I guess set things in
680
00:31:40,208 --> 00:31:42,856
motion for. For later in the episode as far as, you
681
00:31:42,864 --> 00:31:45,816
know, as far as like when we are at the ball. And I
682
00:31:45,824 --> 00:31:48,824
will say when Matt was at the ball and he, you know, he
683
00:31:48,848 --> 00:31:51,848
made the cardinal sin that. That people do
684
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,856
relationships is like, you know, whenever
685
00:31:54,904 --> 00:31:57,736
he was like listening in all this conversation I did have, I
686
00:31:57,744 --> 00:32:00,232
did laugh at that. Whenever, you know, whenever he was
687
00:32:00,272 --> 00:32:03,064
like, you know, they were trying. But he
688
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:05,912
finally, you know, one, he got there late and they tried to like play it off
689
00:32:05,952 --> 00:32:08,570
like, oh, I'm just trying to be all fashionably. And then
690
00:32:08,626 --> 00:32:11,594
two, like whenever they were dancing and she was
691
00:32:11,618 --> 00:32:14,554
like talking to him and then he would like his head and you
692
00:32:14,578 --> 00:32:17,450
know, trying to hear what's going on and Stuff. And it's like, are you paying
693
00:32:17,466 --> 00:32:20,346
attention to me? And it's like, oh, yes, you're paying attention to you. I'm paying attention to
694
00:32:20,354 --> 00:32:23,306
you. I just thought that was. I mean, those, Those were the moments. I
695
00:32:23,314 --> 00:32:26,314
think that when I said why I really enjoyed the
696
00:32:26,338 --> 00:32:29,226
episode, it was just those, Those. Those true, like,
697
00:32:29,314 --> 00:32:32,282
human moments that you don't always see in. In this
698
00:32:32,322 --> 00:32:35,284
genre. Some from time to time that I thought was
699
00:32:35,308 --> 00:32:37,592
what. What helped set this episode apart.
700
00:32:38,652 --> 00:32:41,364
>> Sarah : Yeah, I didn't interpret
701
00:32:41,428 --> 00:32:43,892
those that way, but to each their
702
00:32:43,932 --> 00:32:46,742
own. they just felt like. To go back to the
703
00:32:46,782 --> 00:32:49,478
conversation you brought up initially between
704
00:32:49,550 --> 00:32:52,390
them and that dramatic tension,
705
00:32:52,566 --> 00:32:55,318
which did feel manufactured for me, and
706
00:32:55,390 --> 00:32:58,278
just feel like come out of nowhere because she was planning on writing
707
00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:01,310
a book about vigilantes and I thought she was on their
708
00:33:01,366 --> 00:33:04,318
side. So maybe I misinterpreted that book
709
00:33:04,470 --> 00:33:06,958
storyline, but it just,
710
00:33:07,030 --> 00:33:09,582
it. They didn't spend enough time
711
00:33:09,702 --> 00:33:12,590
making me understand her perspective.
712
00:33:12,686 --> 00:33:15,486
So it didn't feel like it came out of left field that suddenly
713
00:33:15,534 --> 00:33:18,002
she's anti vigilantes.
714
00:33:18,422 --> 00:33:20,762
I think that was the flaw for me,
715
00:33:21,302 --> 00:33:23,470
among a few other things that I've already
716
00:33:23,526 --> 00:33:26,430
mentioned. but.
717
00:33:26,566 --> 00:33:29,192
But yeah, and then at the end of it,
718
00:33:29,142 --> 00:33:31,934
Poindexter, he kind of
719
00:33:31,974 --> 00:33:34,744
gets his mark. But, Matt jumps in the way and.
720
00:33:34,784 --> 00:33:37,564
And it's Matt on the floor bleeding,
721
00:33:37,564 --> 00:33:40,324
to quote unquote, apparent death.
722
00:33:40,274 --> 00:33:42,750
and Fisk, he saves
723
00:33:42,862 --> 00:33:45,406
fixed life, which was teased at the beginning of the
724
00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:47,564
episode with conversation,
725
00:33:48,290 --> 00:33:51,244
between Max and Debt, Matt
726
00:33:51,324 --> 00:33:54,034
and Dex in the police, in
727
00:33:54,074 --> 00:33:56,028
the, the jail, the prison,
728
00:33:57,598 --> 00:34:00,470
about. I'm trying
729
00:34:00,494 --> 00:34:03,468
to find it. you know, in
730
00:34:03,508 --> 00:34:06,444
another life, you might be defending me, because that's
731
00:34:06,476 --> 00:34:09,436
what good men do. They defend their worst enemies. And he
732
00:34:09,492 --> 00:34:11,208
saved a fixed life.
733
00:34:16,078 --> 00:34:19,078
>> Will: Well, I think with that yawn, I think it's time to move on to
734
00:34:19,118 --> 00:34:20,098
starter man.
735
00:34:23,758 --> 00:34:26,550
>> Sarah : I mean, you. I'm. I'm so glad you
736
00:34:26,574 --> 00:34:29,018
were engaged, this
737
00:34:29,058 --> 00:34:31,754
episode. But, like, it just
738
00:34:31,826 --> 00:34:34,314
continued. Things that I
739
00:34:34,386 --> 00:34:37,150
found, I
740
00:34:37,174 --> 00:34:40,030
found off putting in the previous episode, and I
741
00:34:40,054 --> 00:34:42,624
was just like, I'm. This, is losing me. It's
742
00:34:42,672 --> 00:34:45,168
losing me. And. And like,
743
00:34:45,304 --> 00:34:47,820
like, also, I mean,
744
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,180
everyone has seen the set photos from season two.
745
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,400
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, we all know. I mean, we know.
746
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,024
Even though he, like, jumped out there. I guess it's a theory
747
00:34:57,072 --> 00:35:00,064
spiral for the finale before we move on. I mean, we. Yes,
748
00:35:00,112 --> 00:35:03,072
we know. Yeah, I mean, we know he's not gonna die.
749
00:35:03,136 --> 00:35:05,984
I mean, you know, jump. You know, he's taking a bullet
750
00:35:06,032 --> 00:35:08,910
for you know, he took a bullet for this. But,
751
00:35:09,130 --> 00:35:11,940
but yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, it's.
752
00:35:12,020 --> 00:35:14,772
I guess it's really. At this point, it's just like, okay,
753
00:35:14,916 --> 00:35:17,572
we've got the, you know, we've got
754
00:35:17,756 --> 00:35:20,708
the task force showing up, doing
755
00:35:20,764 --> 00:35:23,028
their thing, getting worse. you know,
756
00:35:23,164 --> 00:35:25,972
we, we, we, you
757
00:35:25,996 --> 00:35:28,948
know, we know Barenthal is going to show up again, so we
758
00:35:29,004 --> 00:35:31,956
figured the Punisher is going to show up in the finale to, like, you know, maybe
759
00:35:31,988 --> 00:35:34,822
take down the task force and stuff and basically
760
00:35:34,886 --> 00:35:37,734
be, you know, I guess Matt
761
00:35:37,782 --> 00:35:40,630
and maybe Poindexter will have one more showdown and,
762
00:35:40,670 --> 00:35:43,526
you know, and, and. And also the task force
763
00:35:43,558 --> 00:35:46,326
as well. So, you know, he's got, you know, he's. Matt's
764
00:35:46,358 --> 00:35:49,222
definitely going to be in a weaker state, so he's, you know, definitely makes
765
00:35:49,246 --> 00:35:51,862
sense for why Punisher is going to show up to help him
766
00:35:51,886 --> 00:35:52,450
out.
767
00:35:55,310 --> 00:35:57,130
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah.
768
00:35:58,110 --> 00:36:00,946
Potentially all of that. I don't watch the previous.
769
00:36:01,018 --> 00:36:01,986
I have no idea.
770
00:36:02,098 --> 00:36:04,994
>> Will: No, no, this is not from a preview. This is just me. Yeah,
771
00:36:05,042 --> 00:36:07,190
no, this is just me talking.
772
00:36:07,770 --> 00:36:10,696
>> Sarah : Yeah. all right, that brings us
773
00:36:10,768 --> 00:36:13,304
to the last three episodes of your friendly
774
00:36:13,352 --> 00:36:16,262
neighborhood Spider Man. I'm gonna go
775
00:36:16,286 --> 00:36:18,774
through the synopsis of each episode real quick.
776
00:36:18,862 --> 00:36:21,654
Episode eight, Tangled Web. Norman gives
777
00:36:21,702 --> 00:36:24,454
Spider man an ultimatum, causing Peter to do some
778
00:36:24,462 --> 00:36:27,106
soul searching. Episode, nine,
779
00:36:27,178 --> 00:36:28,350
Hero, or
780
00:36:30,890 --> 00:36:33,426
did I mistype Menace?
781
00:36:33,618 --> 00:36:36,546
Oh, that's hero of menace. Right. Spider man swings
782
00:36:36,578 --> 00:36:39,506
into action as Lonnie looks to settle a score
783
00:36:39,538 --> 00:36:42,418
and Norman visits an old friend. And episode 10,
784
00:36:42,474 --> 00:36:45,474
if this be My Destiny, Peter's insurance ship
785
00:36:45,522 --> 00:36:48,290
takes dart turn with the arrival of an unexpected
786
00:36:48,370 --> 00:36:51,036
visitor. and so I'm just gonna
787
00:36:51,068 --> 00:36:53,614
go to the.
788
00:36:53,782 --> 00:36:56,494
The point that I brought up earlier during the
789
00:36:56,502 --> 00:36:59,370
daredevil discussion. And,
790
00:37:00,070 --> 00:37:02,850
that this the season finale,
791
00:37:04,390 --> 00:37:07,370
talk about a dark turn with the internship thing.
792
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:10,078
So we, we
793
00:37:10,134 --> 00:37:12,718
realize that. Or we find
794
00:37:12,774 --> 00:37:15,406
out, as Norman reveals
795
00:37:15,518 --> 00:37:17,774
to the interns, Project
796
00:37:17,862 --> 00:37:20,770
Monolith, which is a device
797
00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:23,690
that's a gateway to outer space.
798
00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:25,010
>> Will: Yeah.
799
00:37:25,830 --> 00:37:28,814
>> Sarah : Sorcerer supreme shows up. I
800
00:37:28,902 --> 00:37:31,806
still had no idea. I was like, oh, okay, we're
801
00:37:31,838 --> 00:37:34,734
seeing him again. And then you see the black Beast. And
802
00:37:34,742 --> 00:37:37,518
then. And then you're. You're like, oh, we're doing
803
00:37:37,574 --> 00:37:40,330
this again. And it wasn't until,
804
00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:43,822
like, the. The portal really does open
805
00:37:43,926 --> 00:37:46,728
and those two fallen. That. It.
806
00:37:46,784 --> 00:37:49,500
That it. I figure out. Oh,
807
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,620
so you're telling me
808
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,320
Norman, like the
809
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,944
event we just watched, the events leading
810
00:37:57,992 --> 00:38:00,904
up to how he becomes
811
00:38:00,952 --> 00:38:01,720
Spider Man?
812
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:02,620
>> Will: Yep.
813
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,328
>> Sarah : It. It was done so well.
814
00:38:06,464 --> 00:38:09,110
>> Will: Yeah, Yeah, I was thinking. Or I was like, you know, Thinking like
815
00:38:09,150 --> 00:38:11,926
Oroboros Ouroboros, thinking back to, like, Loki
816
00:38:11,958 --> 00:38:12,850
Season 2.
817
00:38:13,260 --> 00:38:16,020
>> Sarah : Great. Great. And. And it's also
818
00:38:16,140 --> 00:38:18,884
just like Norman, who
819
00:38:18,972 --> 00:38:21,364
we. We find out, I think, in the previous
820
00:38:21,452 --> 00:38:24,260
episode, has one of his scientists
821
00:38:24,340 --> 00:38:26,596
working on a special project to
822
00:38:26,748 --> 00:38:29,732
replicate Spider Man's blood that he
823
00:38:29,756 --> 00:38:32,520
took from after the scorpion,
824
00:38:32,930 --> 00:38:35,110
battle that Peter lost.
825
00:38:35,490 --> 00:38:38,394
And. But that same blood and
826
00:38:38,482 --> 00:38:41,052
replication is
827
00:38:41,156 --> 00:38:44,040
inputted into a spider that then
828
00:38:44,740 --> 00:38:46,720
bites. So Norman
829
00:38:47,140 --> 00:38:49,388
basically created Spider Man.
830
00:38:49,524 --> 00:38:51,612
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.
831
00:38:51,676 --> 00:38:52,520
>> Sarah : I just,
832
00:38:55,180 --> 00:38:57,840
It was. It's done so well
833
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:01,252
because it's. It's just a
834
00:39:01,276 --> 00:39:04,164
great magic trick of like,
835
00:39:04,252 --> 00:39:07,020
this event happens, and you just
836
00:39:07,060 --> 00:39:09,852
take it for what it is at the beginning of the.
837
00:39:09,956 --> 00:39:12,748
Of the season. And at no
838
00:39:12,804 --> 00:39:15,580
point are you thinking like, oh,
839
00:39:15,660 --> 00:39:17,640
this is gonna tie back around.
840
00:39:19,220 --> 00:39:21,468
It's just not a thought. It's like that
841
00:39:21,524 --> 00:39:24,464
happened. This is, We're not gonna play with time
842
00:39:24,552 --> 00:39:26,912
here, but. And.
843
00:39:27,016 --> 00:39:29,696
And you're also developing
844
00:39:29,808 --> 00:39:31,580
this dynamic between.
845
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,104
Between Norman and Peter. Now, granted, any.
846
00:39:35,192 --> 00:39:38,144
Anyone who knows Spider man knows Norman
847
00:39:38,192 --> 00:39:41,168
can never be fully trusted. But you
848
00:39:41,224 --> 00:39:44,060
also, like, you understand
849
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,328
why through
850
00:39:47,384 --> 00:39:50,368
these course, these courts of events, like, he is
851
00:39:50,424 --> 00:39:52,992
so willing, especially because of
852
00:39:53,176 --> 00:39:55,776
that. The nod to
853
00:39:55,928 --> 00:39:58,698
the Iron man and Spider man
854
00:39:58,754 --> 00:40:01,070
relationship. We know from the MCU
855
00:40:01,410 --> 00:40:04,404
that that is, paralleled at the
856
00:40:04,412 --> 00:40:07,108
very beginning of them meeting in. In that
857
00:40:07,164 --> 00:40:09,908
first episode. So it's just
858
00:40:10,044 --> 00:40:12,612
I. I really applaud
859
00:40:12,676 --> 00:40:14,810
them for, such a.
860
00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:18,382
Such a good arc in that sense. I
861
00:40:18,406 --> 00:40:19,918
mean, these last three
862
00:40:19,974 --> 00:40:23,228
episodes
863
00:40:23,354 --> 00:40:26,280
revved everything up. And then I think in the. The
864
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,320
last episode, they really had to be
865
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,296
like, okay, Monolith showing you
866
00:40:32,368 --> 00:40:35,048
what the. What the game plan is. And now we're
867
00:40:35,064 --> 00:40:37,912
gonna lead. Leave all of these loose
868
00:40:37,976 --> 00:40:38,860
ends,
869
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,480
but. But not really loose ends. Like, they
870
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,280
are untied, but they're also like,
871
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,108
yeah, this is now, where
872
00:40:49,164 --> 00:40:52,132
we're. Where this character could go moving
873
00:40:52,196 --> 00:40:55,108
forward. As we see Nico with her medallion.
874
00:40:55,204 --> 00:40:57,940
And, through the course of these episodes,
875
00:40:58,020 --> 00:41:00,280
Lonnie. Lonnie,
876
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,100
becomes something else.
877
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,040
>> Will: Starting to. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that was. I guess that was
878
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,936
the. Was that episode nine.
879
00:41:13,008 --> 00:41:15,672
Eight or nine where he, like, he gets exposed to the
880
00:41:15,696 --> 00:41:16,430
chemicals?
881
00:41:17,490 --> 00:41:19,178
>> Sarah : It's episode eight.
882
00:41:19,314 --> 00:41:22,186
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so, yeah, because he,
883
00:41:22,274 --> 00:41:25,130
you know, he is Tombstone. But of course, you know, whenever we. We.
884
00:41:25,186 --> 00:41:27,802
We see like, the. The. The pink. The. The gray
885
00:41:27,882 --> 00:41:30,492
fingertips, after he's exposed to.
886
00:41:30,612 --> 00:41:33,198
To the. To the chemicals, which, you know,
887
00:41:33,270 --> 00:41:36,142
ultimately Tombstone does, you know, hold
888
00:41:36,182 --> 00:41:39,054
his whole body. You know, he looks like that.
889
00:41:39,078 --> 00:41:42,034
But, you know, we see the super. The super strength and
890
00:41:42,198 --> 00:41:44,782
everything. And I did, like, The. I did like the showdown,
891
00:41:45,502 --> 00:41:47,354
with, With Peter and
892
00:41:48,054 --> 00:41:51,006
two and Tombstone, whatever, whenever they were fighting the gang. And
893
00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:53,790
also, you know, how. How. Basically how Tombstone
894
00:41:53,822 --> 00:41:56,670
becomes the leader of the gang because, the. The original gang
895
00:41:56,702 --> 00:41:59,470
leader, like, you know, he chickens out whenever. Whenever things
896
00:41:59,542 --> 00:42:02,382
gets rough. And. And so that, you know, so it's
897
00:42:02,398 --> 00:42:04,974
just to your point, about threads, and
898
00:42:05,094 --> 00:42:05,754
being,
899
00:42:07,534 --> 00:42:10,444
woven and everything. you know, we. As we
900
00:42:10,484 --> 00:42:13,338
talked about earlier in the episode tonight, you know, we
901
00:42:13,346 --> 00:42:16,058
do know that we'll have seasons two and three.
902
00:42:16,146 --> 00:42:19,082
So, you know, we're seeing all the foundational things as far as
903
00:42:19,138 --> 00:42:21,454
this Spider Man's rogues gallery,
904
00:42:22,204 --> 00:42:24,996
being developed here when. When, you know, as
905
00:42:25,180 --> 00:42:27,960
I guess in year one, of Peter having the problem
906
00:42:28,022 --> 00:42:29,252
having his powers.
907
00:42:29,428 --> 00:42:32,228
>> Sarah : And it's also. It's not having a villain
908
00:42:32,276 --> 00:42:34,964
for the sake of having a villain. I mean, with
909
00:42:35,004 --> 00:42:37,748
Lonnie. I mean, you already brought
910
00:42:37,796 --> 00:42:40,586
up the. The car, Well, not the
911
00:42:40,610 --> 00:42:43,258
truck hijacking event. And
912
00:42:43,346 --> 00:42:45,930
really it's not Spider man versus
913
00:42:45,962 --> 00:42:48,874
Lonnie at all in that. It's. It
914
00:42:48,914 --> 00:42:51,898
turns into Spider man and Lonnie
915
00:42:52,026 --> 00:42:54,994
working together against sp. Scorpion because he
916
00:42:55,034 --> 00:42:57,970
shows up. And. And in that
917
00:42:58,042 --> 00:43:00,754
moment when Scorpion comes
918
00:43:00,794 --> 00:43:03,554
up, Dre is just like. Or
919
00:43:03,594 --> 00:43:05,276
Dom is like, I'm, out.
920
00:43:05,428 --> 00:43:06,160
>> Will: Yep.
921
00:43:07,380 --> 00:43:09,628
>> Sarah : And. And that causes
922
00:43:09,724 --> 00:43:12,636
Lonnie to. To be like, no,
923
00:43:12,788 --> 00:43:15,388
that I don't. They need someone
924
00:43:15,444 --> 00:43:17,560
else. I will say
925
00:43:18,180 --> 00:43:21,108
the one, One of my critiques about this
926
00:43:21,164 --> 00:43:23,668
show, it's not a big
927
00:43:23,724 --> 00:43:26,468
one, is I do feel like with
928
00:43:26,524 --> 00:43:29,380
Lonnie, it. It was
929
00:43:29,420 --> 00:43:32,388
a bit rushed for me where he went from
930
00:43:32,444 --> 00:43:35,188
being like a. An
931
00:43:35,244 --> 00:43:38,004
athlete, student and very
932
00:43:38,092 --> 00:43:41,028
much like on the straight
933
00:43:41,044 --> 00:43:43,844
and narrow to. Yes,
934
00:43:43,892 --> 00:43:46,840
I understand He. He gave.
935
00:43:47,270 --> 00:43:49,860
He gave up. he took the place of his
936
00:43:49,900 --> 00:43:52,596
brother. I totally understand that. But
937
00:43:52,668 --> 00:43:55,460
then after that, when he.
938
00:43:55,580 --> 00:43:58,260
When he. The. The quickness
939
00:43:58,340 --> 00:44:01,300
came from the loyalty he had with the other
940
00:44:01,420 --> 00:44:04,340
members of the game, like, it just. It
941
00:44:04,380 --> 00:44:07,302
felt. It felt a bit abrupt. and I felt very
942
00:44:07,326 --> 00:44:10,134
much like Pearl, like, what are you doing? Yeah,
943
00:44:10,182 --> 00:44:11,250
I don't understand.
944
00:44:11,630 --> 00:44:14,274
>> Will: Yeah, I mean, yeah, they saved you from the Scorpion
945
00:44:14,322 --> 00:44:17,298
gang, but. Yeah, but.
946
00:44:17,354 --> 00:44:20,226
Yeah, I mean, but for him to falls, you're
947
00:44:20,258 --> 00:44:23,010
right. But it was a very haste, hastily,
948
00:44:23,420 --> 00:44:25,680
descent into, like, you know,
949
00:44:26,860 --> 00:44:29,796
fall from grace for. For him, for sure. Yeah, I.
950
00:44:29,868 --> 00:44:32,628
I would agree with that. One critique for me was just.
951
00:44:32,764 --> 00:44:35,556
I felt like they. I don't know if it's
952
00:44:35,588 --> 00:44:38,148
critique or. Or just
953
00:44:38,204 --> 00:44:41,044
like. And, Maybe it
954
00:44:41,052 --> 00:44:43,940
was. Maybe it's not a critique. It's just more like it was a
955
00:44:43,980 --> 00:44:46,852
beat That I, that with Peter, all the
956
00:44:46,876 --> 00:44:49,280
adults just like throwing too much,
957
00:44:50,860 --> 00:44:53,652
like more maybe the
958
00:44:53,676 --> 00:44:56,244
adults not being helpful to Peter because
959
00:44:56,332 --> 00:44:59,130
especially, you know, he as as
960
00:44:59,170 --> 00:45:02,122
we see him get, you know, try to
961
00:45:02,146 --> 00:45:05,098
balance being Spider man and being a teenager and
962
00:45:05,154 --> 00:45:08,050
working at the internship. I mean, poor Peter was like,
963
00:45:08,050 --> 00:45:10,928
ah, pulled in a thousand different directions, you know, so
964
00:45:11,064 --> 00:45:13,920
where, you know, it does cost, you know, it does
965
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,620
cause a strain on his friendships and
966
00:45:17,060 --> 00:45:19,982
he's strained on himself. I mean when he just like has the, you know, has
967
00:45:20,006 --> 00:45:22,958
the moment there with May and, and you know, May's just like you're
968
00:45:22,974 --> 00:45:25,822
stronger than you think you are. And, and then of course when he like
969
00:45:25,846 --> 00:45:28,750
goes to Norman, Norman gives him, you know, does the,
970
00:45:28,790 --> 00:45:29,662
with great power.
971
00:45:29,766 --> 00:45:31,690
>> Sarah : You know, it's great respect.
972
00:45:31,990 --> 00:45:32,942
>> Will: Yep, exactly.
973
00:45:33,006 --> 00:45:35,918
>> Sarah : I, I, I hear what you're saying and I think you're right.
974
00:45:35,974 --> 00:45:38,700
I think that, that it almost
975
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,198
by by having Peter
976
00:45:42,326 --> 00:45:44,918
engage with so many adults and, and
977
00:45:45,006 --> 00:45:47,314
them not really utilize May,
978
00:45:49,624 --> 00:45:52,368
they, he comes off so much
979
00:45:52,456 --> 00:45:55,024
older than a teenager in high
980
00:45:55,064 --> 00:45:55,552
school.
981
00:45:55,688 --> 00:45:56,432
>> Will: Yeah.
982
00:45:56,608 --> 00:45:59,296
>> Sarah : And that's kind of the disconnect there
983
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,256
where like, and, and especially when you
984
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,120
bring in a character like Harry who, yes, it's
985
00:46:05,152 --> 00:46:08,016
explained he has tutors and he doesn't go to high school
986
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,944
and all this stuff. Again though, you're kind of
987
00:46:10,984 --> 00:46:13,664
like these characters between him,
988
00:46:13,784 --> 00:46:16,736
Nico and Harry are supposed to be teenagers in
989
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,696
high school and, and even Lonnie.
990
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,576
And yet they, they seem
991
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,520
like they, they, they don't have those
992
00:46:25,592 --> 00:46:28,592
same pressures and they seem like they're
993
00:46:28,608 --> 00:46:31,608
in college. The way they go about
994
00:46:31,696 --> 00:46:34,552
things, it just the, it's not
995
00:46:34,608 --> 00:46:37,096
matching. And I, and I think why
996
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,976
you, you bring, or you saw it now
997
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,920
especially is because yes, that was a very good,
998
00:46:42,992 --> 00:46:45,608
nice scene between Peter and May,
999
00:46:45,776 --> 00:46:48,520
but I felt like that was the first scene we've
1000
00:46:48,552 --> 00:46:51,480
had all season and we really
1001
00:46:51,552 --> 00:46:53,444
should have had more. Now
1002
00:46:54,304 --> 00:46:57,082
that was a great reveal at the end of the
1003
00:46:57,208 --> 00:47:00,070
first episode about, and,
1004
00:47:00,142 --> 00:47:03,064
and I, I was thinking about this earlier. I was like,
1005
00:47:03,014 --> 00:47:06,012
man, that really is a good reveal. So we find
1006
00:47:06,068 --> 00:47:08,796
out at the end of the episode that or at the end of the
1007
00:47:08,820 --> 00:47:11,452
season that May goes and visits
1008
00:47:11,548 --> 00:47:13,344
Peter's dad in jail.
1009
00:47:14,324 --> 00:47:15,184
>> Will: Yep.
1010
00:47:15,764 --> 00:47:18,396
>> Sarah : And, and so
1011
00:47:18,580 --> 00:47:21,420
I, I was thinking about it earlier today
1012
00:47:21,492 --> 00:47:24,114
and I was like, wait a second. So
1013
00:47:24,154 --> 00:47:27,106
that's why when Nico and
1014
00:47:27,130 --> 00:47:30,114
Harry were over, Peter brings up that all
1015
00:47:30,154 --> 00:47:31,654
their moms are dead.
1016
00:47:32,714 --> 00:47:35,314
Because my first thought actually, I
1017
00:47:35,354 --> 00:47:38,274
remember I clocked that and
1018
00:47:38,314 --> 00:47:41,154
I was thinking about it at the time. I'm like, wow.
1019
00:47:41,234 --> 00:47:43,586
But, but Peter aren't You an orphan?
1020
00:47:43,650 --> 00:47:44,482
Orphan?
1021
00:47:44,658 --> 00:47:45,938
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1022
00:47:45,986 --> 00:47:48,946
>> Sarah : Like what? Yeah,
1023
00:47:49,010 --> 00:47:51,852
yeah, the dad is still alive and they, they
1024
00:47:51,908 --> 00:47:54,824
kind of subconsciously planted that
1025
00:47:55,284 --> 00:47:57,516
a few episodes ahead of time.
1026
00:47:57,700 --> 00:48:00,684
So, so it,
1027
00:48:00,804 --> 00:48:03,644
like things were there to
1028
00:48:03,684 --> 00:48:06,618
pick up on. but. But I thought that was
1029
00:48:06,706 --> 00:48:09,404
really interesting. and good. And good,
1030
00:48:09,354 --> 00:48:11,778
planning for. For that reveal at the
1031
00:48:11,818 --> 00:48:14,756
end. which just again, which, which is
1032
00:48:14,812 --> 00:48:16,048
something like.
1033
00:48:17,328 --> 00:48:20,056
But all of the other decisions like these.
1034
00:48:20,112 --> 00:48:22,728
Again, this. It's not a
1035
00:48:22,768 --> 00:48:25,560
reboot. It's. It's just a retelling. It's.
1036
00:48:25,624 --> 00:48:28,440
It's. You're taking. There's
1037
00:48:28,504 --> 00:48:31,108
something so familiar about this show
1038
00:48:31,888 --> 00:48:34,888
and, and yet it is definitely
1039
00:48:34,968 --> 00:48:37,432
telling its own version of events.
1040
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,376
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I know we talked
1041
00:48:40,392 --> 00:48:43,272
about that I think last week where. Yeah, it is,
1042
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,242
it is. You know, it's taking elements. I
1043
00:48:46,250 --> 00:48:49,170
mean even, you know, even like we, we did get a. At
1044
00:48:49,194 --> 00:48:52,050
the very end and it was a blink if you miss it. You know, we get the
1045
00:48:52,074 --> 00:48:54,982
watcher from what if you know, whenever
1046
00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:57,788
he and Stephen Strange have their you know, little
1047
00:48:58,648 --> 00:49:01,388
send all goodbye there and you know,
1048
00:49:01,768 --> 00:49:04,668
so I was like, yeah, you know, it is
1049
00:49:05,208 --> 00:49:06,668
reminding us that,
1050
00:49:09,298 --> 00:49:12,186
that we are still in the multiverse saga and we're
1051
00:49:12,202 --> 00:49:14,666
just seeing another part of the multiverse here. And.
1052
00:49:14,722 --> 00:49:17,722
Yeah, and. And this is, and this is a
1053
00:49:17,730 --> 00:49:19,758
multiverse story that actually works.
1054
00:49:20,738 --> 00:49:23,578
>> Sarah : Right, right. Which I mean, granted
1055
00:49:23,658 --> 00:49:26,610
the the no Way Home was
1056
00:49:26,634 --> 00:49:29,330
also a Multiverse story. That worked too, I
1057
00:49:29,354 --> 00:49:32,130
guess. Spider man knows how to tell the multiverse.
1058
00:49:32,194 --> 00:49:34,138
>> Will: They do. Yeah, they do.
1059
00:49:35,478 --> 00:49:38,430
>> Sarah : Granted, they play in their own. They, they play in
1060
00:49:38,454 --> 00:49:41,358
their own sandbox too with the multiverse. I think that
1061
00:49:41,398 --> 00:49:43,908
says something. but they,
1062
00:49:45,248 --> 00:49:47,708
and there's. Into the spider verse.
1063
00:49:48,208 --> 00:49:49,768
>> Will: Yeah. Eventually.
1064
00:49:49,928 --> 00:49:52,808
>> Sarah : I don't know what it is about this property that
1065
00:49:52,848 --> 00:49:54,952
allows it to be so
1066
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,784
adaptable to the multiverse. But.
1067
00:49:57,936 --> 00:50:00,912
But yeah, I think it's just because
1068
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,712
of how from how many different
1069
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,256
versions and store and the
1070
00:50:06,312 --> 00:50:08,800
story has been told
1071
00:50:08,984 --> 00:50:11,968
that there is something about it
1072
00:50:12,008 --> 00:50:14,256
that they continue to find ways to
1073
00:50:14,312 --> 00:50:16,708
reinvent reimagine
1074
00:50:17,128 --> 00:50:19,008
and it doesn't feel stale.
1075
00:50:19,168 --> 00:50:20,272
>> Will: Exactly. Exactly.
1076
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,264
>> Sarah : Now granted, Sony has released a trash
1077
00:50:23,376 --> 00:50:26,150
load of projects that don't feature Spider
1078
00:50:26,214 --> 00:50:28,726
man, but that's, that's just
1079
00:50:28,782 --> 00:50:31,702
because one plus one doesn't equal
1080
00:50:31,750 --> 00:50:33,366
two automatically.
1081
00:50:33,542 --> 00:50:36,454
>> Will: Exactly. Exactly. But yeah, but yeah, but Sony,
1082
00:50:36,486 --> 00:50:39,478
you know, and ah, Sony has done a good
1083
00:50:39,518 --> 00:50:42,180
job with Spidey, in every iteration that they've had
1084
00:50:42,204 --> 00:50:42,768
him.
1085
00:50:43,308 --> 00:50:46,206
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. and,
1086
00:50:46,262 --> 00:50:48,924
and we even, they even. And I'm not
1087
00:50:48,996 --> 00:50:51,834
familiar with this character, but, but We.
1088
00:50:51,906 --> 00:50:54,778
We Circle back to even Daredevil.
1089
00:50:54,858 --> 00:50:57,786
He returns in this episode and we
1090
00:50:57,842 --> 00:51:00,478
see that another intern, Jean,
1091
00:51:01,048 --> 00:51:03,830
is finesse. And, she has been
1092
00:51:03,886 --> 00:51:06,838
spying on Norman. And it looks like next season
1093
00:51:06,910 --> 00:51:09,670
she'll be spying on Harry, too.
1094
00:51:09,806 --> 00:51:12,806
So like, like,
1095
00:51:12,974 --> 00:51:15,734
again, there are things that happened
1096
00:51:15,798 --> 00:51:18,734
earlier in the season that. And I
1097
00:51:18,758 --> 00:51:21,758
think also because I don't
1098
00:51:21,790 --> 00:51:24,734
remember the exact release order of these episodes,
1099
00:51:24,798 --> 00:51:27,758
I know they were in batches very similar to how
1100
00:51:27,830 --> 00:51:30,654
we have broken it up. And I
1101
00:51:30,678 --> 00:51:33,550
think that's why a lot of the
1102
00:51:33,606 --> 00:51:36,238
connective tissue feels
1103
00:51:36,270 --> 00:51:39,242
stronger because you're not going week to week
1104
00:51:39,942 --> 00:51:42,830
and. And the arcs feel much more
1105
00:51:42,886 --> 00:51:45,848
complete because like, you are
1106
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,172
watching them in a full arc.
1107
00:51:48,472 --> 00:51:51,462
and you like. Yes,
1108
00:51:51,962 --> 00:51:54,946
the previous arc ended with After
1109
00:51:55,034 --> 00:51:57,906
Scorpion versus Spider man. And.
1110
00:51:57,994 --> 00:52:00,568
And the first two episodes of the last
1111
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,400
three feature very much like Harry or
1112
00:52:03,456 --> 00:52:06,360
Peter trying to deal with
1113
00:52:06,496 --> 00:52:09,458
losing in battle and. And. And
1114
00:52:09,610 --> 00:52:12,050
regaining strength and trying to figure out,
1115
00:52:12,106 --> 00:52:14,994
well, like the doubting that
1116
00:52:15,018 --> 00:52:17,922
occurs of that and. And also kind
1117
00:52:17,962 --> 00:52:20,888
of some ptsd. but he gets. He gets
1118
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,732
his stuff together, granted.
1119
00:52:24,352 --> 00:52:25,132
>> Will: Yeah.
1120
00:52:25,632 --> 00:52:28,328
>> Sarah : I mean, you brought it up before the whole respect
1121
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,320
line. I was just like, they're going
1122
00:52:31,376 --> 00:52:33,932
there. No, they're not. Thank God.
1123
00:52:35,542 --> 00:52:38,302
>> Will: I was like, yeah, because as soon as the c. As soon as
1124
00:52:38,422 --> 00:52:41,400
Norman started going there, I was just like, oh. and then he was
1125
00:52:41,424 --> 00:52:43,748
like, with respect. And I was just like,
1126
00:52:44,368 --> 00:52:46,548
okay. No,
1127
00:52:47,168 --> 00:52:49,976
did a twist on it. And it's completely,
1128
00:52:50,072 --> 00:52:52,712
you know, Norman read the room. You gotta.
1129
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,800
You know. But. But it really. It goes to like, again, to
1130
00:52:55,824 --> 00:52:58,824
show the selfishness of Mormon. And you know, he's just using Peter
1131
00:52:58,856 --> 00:53:01,646
as it means to an end. and, you know,
1132
00:53:01,702 --> 00:53:03,858
so serious.
1133
00:53:04,198 --> 00:53:05,582
Yeah. So was that.
1134
00:53:05,670 --> 00:53:08,622
>> Sarah : And then, yeah, like his conversation with Doc
1135
00:53:08,670 --> 00:53:09,198
Ock.
1136
00:53:09,278 --> 00:53:11,726
>> Will: Oh, yeah, I was about to go there. Yeah, that's exactly what I was about
1137
00:53:11,782 --> 00:53:14,734
to. About to segue to was his, ah, conversation
1138
00:53:14,766 --> 00:53:17,724
with Doc Ock and and their rival.
1139
00:53:17,836 --> 00:53:20,304
Their history and rivalry and stuff.
1140
00:53:20,336 --> 00:53:23,244
And Yeah, I mean, it's just
1141
00:53:23,316 --> 00:53:26,108
everything about Norman is just like. Just, you know, it's
1142
00:53:26,268 --> 00:53:29,142
as we. As we know, we will eventually
1143
00:53:29,190 --> 00:53:32,190
be, you know, become the Goblin and. And I like the way
1144
00:53:32,214 --> 00:53:34,798
that they're. You know, even
1145
00:53:34,838 --> 00:53:37,294
from. And to your point about how earlier
1146
00:53:37,366 --> 00:53:40,078
episodes planted the seed, you know, we. We
1147
00:53:40,118 --> 00:53:42,990
saw the. So about it. You know, we saw the.
1148
00:53:43,094 --> 00:53:46,030
The selfishness of Norman and where, you know, and what angle is he.
1149
00:53:46,054 --> 00:53:48,782
What's this? What's the angle here for why he has such a
1150
00:53:48,790 --> 00:53:51,744
fascination with Peter after he sees him? They're
1151
00:53:51,776 --> 00:53:54,010
in a Stairwell. and. And we get that
1152
00:53:54,034 --> 00:53:56,668
payoff, you know, with, him,
1153
00:53:56,708 --> 00:53:59,580
like. Yeah, with the spider. And. And
1154
00:53:59,604 --> 00:54:02,574
of course, you know, back. You know, he does end up
1155
00:54:02,646 --> 00:54:04,750
creating Spider man, so.
1156
00:54:04,934 --> 00:54:07,790
>> Sarah : Right, right. Even though he was trying to
1157
00:54:07,814 --> 00:54:09,150
create something for himself.
1158
00:54:09,214 --> 00:54:11,694
>> Will: Like, for himself, though. Exactly. It wasn't. Yeah.
1159
00:54:11,806 --> 00:54:14,750
>> Sarah : It's the ego of Norman that they did such a
1160
00:54:14,774 --> 00:54:17,330
good job with because he.
1161
00:54:17,514 --> 00:54:19,794
He is very much like
1162
00:54:19,946 --> 00:54:22,802
Tony. Very much.
1163
00:54:22,890 --> 00:54:25,890
And. And he. He's a businessman. He's got
1164
00:54:25,914 --> 00:54:28,450
all this money and power, and he just wants
1165
00:54:28,514 --> 00:54:30,866
more. Well, then you start
1166
00:54:30,922 --> 00:54:33,570
seeing, like, your rival become a
1167
00:54:33,594 --> 00:54:34,530
superhero.
1168
00:54:34,674 --> 00:54:35,314
>> Will: Yep.
1169
00:54:35,426 --> 00:54:38,078
>> Sarah : Well, I gotta. I don't have that.
1170
00:54:38,538 --> 00:54:41,394
And. And I love that line in the final
1171
00:54:41,466 --> 00:54:44,450
episode where when. When Doctor Strange
1172
00:54:44,514 --> 00:54:47,394
arrives and he says, you guys with your powers.
1173
00:54:47,506 --> 00:54:50,482
Powers floating around, like, you're better than us. I
1174
00:54:50,490 --> 00:54:53,238
mean, the conversation with Doc Ock
1175
00:54:53,658 --> 00:54:56,398
even gets at that to a point. Like.
1176
00:54:56,938 --> 00:54:59,762
Like, Norman can't have
1177
00:54:59,850 --> 00:55:02,680
anyone appear, to
1178
00:55:02,704 --> 00:55:04,168
be superior to him.
1179
00:55:04,288 --> 00:55:05,496
>> Will: Nope, not at all.
1180
00:55:05,552 --> 00:55:07,992
>> Sarah : And. And so, like,
1181
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,064
he's able to minimize anyone
1182
00:55:11,096 --> 00:55:13,038
who's a threat. Threat in that regard.
1183
00:55:13,538 --> 00:55:16,058
And. And yet he doesn't have
1184
00:55:16,098 --> 00:55:18,970
superpowers. And so he feels inferior
1185
00:55:19,034 --> 00:55:21,578
to anyone who does. And that
1186
00:55:21,618 --> 00:55:24,474
is. That is an angle arguably
1187
00:55:24,586 --> 00:55:27,306
on. On Norman
1188
00:55:27,482 --> 00:55:30,218
that has. Has been there, but I feel
1189
00:55:30,258 --> 00:55:33,034
like for the first time, really fleshed
1190
00:55:33,066 --> 00:55:36,026
out, at least for me. And it
1191
00:55:36,082 --> 00:55:38,844
really feels like. Okay, you're
1192
00:55:38,956 --> 00:55:40,408
building a strong
1193
00:55:41,348 --> 00:55:43,740
justification for a vendetta
1194
00:55:43,804 --> 00:55:46,248
against Peter in particular.
1195
00:55:46,628 --> 00:55:47,138
>> Will: Yeah.
1196
00:55:47,138 --> 00:55:49,598
>> Sarah : which. Which I think that
1197
00:55:50,938 --> 00:55:53,198
this show would not work
1198
00:55:54,298 --> 00:55:57,090
if they. If the execution
1199
00:55:57,154 --> 00:56:00,082
between this relationship between
1200
00:56:00,250 --> 00:56:02,998
Norman and. And Peter
1201
00:56:04,188 --> 00:56:07,076
was. Was not done as well as it has
1202
00:56:07,132 --> 00:56:07,796
been done.
1203
00:56:07,852 --> 00:56:08,568
>> Will: Yeah.
1204
00:56:08,748 --> 00:56:11,684
>> Sarah : it is a. It is the backbone of the show,
1205
00:56:11,756 --> 00:56:14,516
which is arguably surprising because in the past
1206
00:56:14,572 --> 00:56:16,660
there's been so much more focused on
1207
00:56:16,764 --> 00:56:19,700
Harry and Peter. But.
1208
00:56:19,804 --> 00:56:22,516
But. Which is sad
1209
00:56:22,612 --> 00:56:25,188
because I feel like by. By
1210
00:56:25,228 --> 00:56:27,652
establishing such. The relationship
1211
00:56:27,700 --> 00:56:30,548
between Norman and. And
1212
00:56:30,588 --> 00:56:33,316
Peter, like, how
1213
00:56:33,372 --> 00:56:35,528
that unravels
1214
00:56:36,188 --> 00:56:39,156
allows there to be like, just
1215
00:56:39,212 --> 00:56:41,940
naturally that vendetta
1216
00:56:42,084 --> 00:56:44,660
in that. That antagonism
1217
00:56:44,724 --> 00:56:47,488
between Harry and Peter. Like, it's just.
1218
00:56:47,868 --> 00:56:50,612
>> Will: Yeah, because I, like, I think back. Yeah. Because one of the.
1219
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:53,460
One of the earlier episodes in this block that we
1220
00:56:53,484 --> 00:56:55,678
watched, you know, they're. They're whenever,
1221
00:56:56,848 --> 00:56:59,624
Harry, you know, whenever. Nor like,
1222
00:56:59,696 --> 00:57:02,696
basically kicked Harry out of the room, he was. Wanted
1223
00:57:02,712 --> 00:57:05,538
to have that conversation. And. And so,
1224
00:57:05,488 --> 00:57:08,360
Yeah, so that. That's a great example. I'm glad you brought
1225
00:57:08,376 --> 00:57:11,144
that up because, you know, that. That. That made me think of that example
1226
00:57:11,208 --> 00:57:13,736
of. Of that and, you know, again, planting the seed
1227
00:57:13,784 --> 00:57:16,664
for why things go south between Harry
1228
00:57:16,728 --> 00:57:19,608
and, and Peter. at least how they're going to, how they're
1229
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,470
going to do it in this iteration of Spider Man. especially
1230
00:57:22,526 --> 00:57:25,442
when you can think about like when, you know, it was Harry who
1231
00:57:25,602 --> 00:57:28,266
got Peter the, the traditional, well
1232
00:57:28,354 --> 00:57:31,034
known suit. because the the suit that
1233
00:57:31,058 --> 00:57:34,032
Norman, did. They settled on got destroyed by
1234
00:57:34,072 --> 00:57:36,914
the, the fight in the fight with the scorpion. and then of course, you know,
1235
00:57:36,938 --> 00:57:39,746
using the Go get him tiger, taking that from Mary J.
1236
00:57:39,834 --> 00:57:41,702
To, you know, to, to Harry.
1237
00:57:42,632 --> 00:57:45,312
>> Sarah : so yeah, that, that went a bit
1238
00:57:45,352 --> 00:57:48,256
far. I
1239
00:57:48,264 --> 00:57:49,868
was like, that's weird.
1240
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:52,796
>> Will: That was weird. Yeah, I like that just doesn't.
1241
00:57:52,844 --> 00:57:55,836
It doesn't, doesn't. It doesn't feel right.
1242
00:57:55,924 --> 00:57:57,724
Yeah. It's coming from him. Yeah.
1243
00:57:57,868 --> 00:58:00,524
>> Sarah : Some things are, aren't meant for that. I
1244
00:58:00,548 --> 00:58:02,508
mean, I mean, and, and maybe.
1245
00:58:02,540 --> 00:58:05,388
>> Will: If it were Nico, I would have been okay. If it were Nico.
1246
00:58:05,580 --> 00:58:07,932
Yeah. It has nothing to do with.
1247
00:58:07,972 --> 00:58:10,796
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, I, I know exactly with what you're
1248
00:58:10,844 --> 00:58:13,580
gonna say because I feel the same way. I'm like, it's not
1249
00:58:13,636 --> 00:58:16,172
because she's female, however, like, we
1250
00:58:16,212 --> 00:58:19,156
equate that line so so much with Mary
1251
00:58:19,204 --> 00:58:21,872
Jane that it's very hard
1252
00:58:22,172 --> 00:58:24,352
not to like,
1253
00:58:24,972 --> 00:58:27,620
it's very hard not to be like,
1254
00:58:27,676 --> 00:58:30,212
whoa, talking about moving
1255
00:58:30,292 --> 00:58:31,592
fast. Okay.
1256
00:58:33,302 --> 00:58:36,262
but yeah, I, I'm very
1257
00:58:36,302 --> 00:58:39,046
much glad that we, we
1258
00:58:39,134 --> 00:58:41,906
watched this season. and also that
1259
00:58:42,024 --> 00:58:42,682
again.
1260
00:58:45,222 --> 00:58:48,126
And this bodes well for the next Disney
1261
00:58:48,174 --> 00:58:51,166
plus show that we'll get into later this month with Andor
1262
00:58:51,214 --> 00:58:53,790
Season 2, given how they're structuring their
1263
00:58:53,846 --> 00:58:56,446
episode release. You can do
1264
00:58:56,614 --> 00:58:59,262
the three episodes two
1265
00:58:59,302 --> 00:59:02,078
episodes at a time, but if you're
1266
00:59:02,110 --> 00:59:04,762
gonna do it like,
1267
00:59:05,062 --> 00:59:07,706
it should make sense with how they were written.
1268
00:59:07,854 --> 00:59:08,418
>> Will: Yeah.
1269
00:59:08,530 --> 00:59:11,474
>> Sarah : Like this, that's what this show proves to me
1270
00:59:11,578 --> 00:59:14,142
above all else. I mean, I feel like
1271
00:59:14,682 --> 00:59:17,026
earlier when we were. This year, when we're talking
1272
00:59:17,074 --> 00:59:19,474
Invincible, they do some,
1273
00:59:19,578 --> 00:59:22,472
some combining of
1274
00:59:22,512 --> 00:59:24,840
episodes released. Of course, there was the
1275
00:59:24,896 --> 00:59:27,704
infamous Daredevil a few weeks ago that had
1276
00:59:27,728 --> 00:59:30,392
episodes five and six, but those did
1277
00:59:30,432 --> 00:59:32,732
not. Those felt like scheduling.
1278
00:59:33,162 --> 00:59:36,018
Not, not for purposes of the story they're
1279
00:59:36,050 --> 00:59:38,658
trying to tell. Like there's a,
1280
00:59:38,730 --> 00:59:41,490
there's a reason why we're releasing them in this
1281
00:59:41,546 --> 00:59:44,226
manner because of the arcs and
1282
00:59:44,314 --> 00:59:46,382
because of the overall story.
1283
00:59:47,162 --> 00:59:50,066
And then I foresee that happening with Andor
1284
00:59:50,114 --> 00:59:52,884
season two as well. But, it's.
1285
00:59:52,948 --> 00:59:55,780
It's when. It's when it's because of scheduling
1286
00:59:55,876 --> 00:59:58,852
that. That causes it to become a detriment
1287
00:59:58,932 --> 01:00:01,852
as opposed to, to a, an attribute of
1288
01:00:01,892 --> 01:00:02,540
a show.
1289
01:00:02,676 --> 01:00:04,432
>> Will: Yeah, agreed. Agreed.
1290
01:00:05,332 --> 01:00:08,236
>> Sarah : All right. Well, on that note, Will, why don't you tell our
1291
01:00:08,244 --> 01:00:10,028
listeners where they can find you?
